I Am the Only Fertile Woman in the Game-Chapter 113: Picking Up My Child to Take Home

Early morning.

Li Yi had slept well and walked into the ward refreshed, only to see that Anubis looked even worse than he had the day before.

He wanted to ask his brother what he had done last night to look so worn out, but as soon as he opened his mouth to speak a sound, Anubis glared at him, swallowing his words back.

Anubis placed his index finger on his lips and then pointed at Qiao Suisui, who was sleeping next to him, giving Li Yi a warning glance.

Li Yi tiptoed and with a heavy heart of mischief, quietly closed the door, then stole back to Anubis, folding his arms as he watched him.

Anubis frowned, his eyes asking, "What are you doing?"

Li Yi signaled and mouthed in response, "You're off, really off."

Anubis ignored him.

Li Yi continued gesturing, "The last time I saw that expression was on the face of my cousin's stepmother when he decided to renounce the world and become a monk. But why do you have the face of a sage, disillusioned with the world?"

This round of gestures was too long, and Anubis lost his patience the moment he began gesturing about the cousin's stepmother, and didn't respond.

No matter how Li Yi tried to catch his attention afterward, Anubis merely languidly half-closed his eyes, finally getting annoyed by Li Yi and closing his eyes, turning over.

Li Yi, unable to sit still, turned to find Qiao. At this moment, he pulled out a marker from nowhere, revealing an evil grin, intending to draw a turtle on her face.

Just as he had drawn a few strokes, Qiao Suisui felt an itch on her face and slightly furrowed her brow. Li Yi couldn't help but chuckle, "Heh," and Anubis, hearing it, turned around, saw him with the marker, and in a swift set of motions, got out of bed, snatched the marker, all in one go.

"Are you really hurt or just faking it? How come you're so agile?" Li Yi blurted out, his voice starkly loud in the quiet room; he covered his mouth after speaking.

Anubis furrowed his brows deeply and grabbed Li Yi's arm to drag him outside, while simultaneously, Qiao Suisui was woken up by the noise, opened her somewhat groggy eyes, and saw the two of them tugging at each other overhead.

"Morning, what are you guys doing?"

She rubbed her eyes, her expression somewhat bewildered, her hair slightly tousled, altogether looking sleepily cute, very different from her usual self, and coupled with the unfinished turtle on her face, it made both men stare at her, stunned. Anubis quickly averted his eyes, while Li Yi burst into laughter.

"Hahahaha, Qiao, if your Beast Form were a turtle, I would definitely keep you," he said.

Qiao Suisui: ?

Why start the day with such dirty talk.

Anubis silently fetched a wrung-dry handkerchief, handed it to her, and said, "Wipe it off."

Blinking, Qiao Suisui took it, reflected her face on a shiny kettle, and seeing the messy lines on her face, immediately understood their reaction.

"Nice one, Li Yi, to think I gave up Liu Bei's spot for you."

Li Yi asked, "Who's Liu Bei?"

Anubis said, "A big brother."

Qiao Suisui put the handkerchief down on the table, turned to Li Yi, and said, "I'm going to tell your tutor that I did your last homework for you."

"Bro, you are my brother, please, I beg you," Li Yi handed the marker back to her, kneeling in front of her, lifted his bangs with one hand, tilting his face up and saying, "Let you draw it back, let's make peace."

Qiao Suisui suppressed a laugh, waiting just for him to say that. She unapologetically took a pen and drew a figure-eight inverted ellipse over his eye sockets before filling them in with black. After the drawing, Li Yi opened his eyes, looking exactly like a national treasure. Anubis was also amused by his appearance, and the three of them laughed and frolicked together. Mainly, it was Li Yi and Qiao Suisui causing the ruckus, while Anubis watched them laugh.

At that moment, the door of the hospital room was pulled open. Ruka paused when he saw the scene before him, but upon seeing the joyously laughing Qiao Suisui, his features visibly softened.

The man stood outside the door and did not come in directly but instead said, "Sorry for interrupting, I am looking for Qiao."

With panda eyes, Li Yi hurriedly called out, "Oh oh, please come in, please come in. My name is Li Yi, Qiao's classmate."

Anubis also nodded at Ruka, introducing himself briefly, "Bi."

His gaze shifted discreetly between the man and Qiao Suisui.

Qiao Suisui ran over to Ruka with a laugh, pulling on his arm to bring him inside, her tone filled with the impatience of a child showing off to an adult, "Ruka, these are the friends I told you about."

After she finished, she introduced the other two men, "This is Colonel Sikoses."

Ruka extended his hand and shook hands with Li Yi and Bi, greeting them formally. His hand was thick and gave a feeling of absolute control. The firmness of his handshake was very assured, yet not overly dominant, instantly giving a reliable impression.

Li Yi's hands trembled with excitement, holding his own hand as if it were a treasure, "Help, I'm never washing my hands again. I actually shook hands with the Sword of the Empire! Dad! Your son has made it!"

Qiao Suisui couldn't help but laugh and cry.

"Not bad, Qiao, truly impressive to have the Sword of the Empire in your network," Li Yi joked, hitting Qiao Suisui on the shoulder in the way brothers do. Standing by, Ruka's expression turned cold in an instant, but he said nothing.

"Yeah, so don't mess with me all the time," Qiao Suisui retorted with a raised eyebrow at Li Yi, her face wearing a 'I have backup' look of fearless confidence.

Anubis stood quietly on the side, his expression very calm.

As Ruka sized him up, he was also sizing up Ruka.

The light gold of his eyes became translucent under the sunlight, and the tall man standing behind her, needing no words, was like a mountain, becoming the source of her security.

Anubis felt the intimacy between Qiao and this man was different from other males he had seen her with. She was somewhat cautious with Zong Fang, relaxed but very boundary-aware with Lanze, but with this man alone she was relaxed and confident, her whole being becoming spirited.

"Colonel Sikoses, what did you want to see Qiao for?" Li Yi asked.

After a moment, Ruka, with a slight smile, said, "I'm here to take my kid back home."

"Ah? Isn't Qiao's surname Leberli? What's going on? Is he your relative?"

Li Yi was stunned, turning to look at Bi only to find his expression unchanged, neither surprised nor curious.

Qiao Suisui quickly waved her hands to explain, "I'm indeed just a distant member of the Leberli family, Ruka is my... is my..." She hesitated, glancing at Ruka who stood waiting calmly and seemed also interested in hearing her answer.

"... my brother's lifelong best friend!"

"Oh~~~ so it's pretty much like the relationship with my cousin's dad's latest partner!" Li Yi realized.

She chuckled dryly and nodded, "Right, right," then sighed, thinking to herself that the world would be incomplete without Li Yi's kind of cheerful idiocy.

Finally, Qiao Suisui said goodbye to the two, promising that they would find time to visit Bi again. The thought of not being able to meet again at school made them all a bit sad, even the usually optimistic Li Yi felt a bit down.

Once they left the hospital, Ruka, who had been maintaining some distance from Qiao Suisui, immediately scooped her into his arms and boarded the Flying Ship. He took out a damp, soft cloth and gently dabbed at her face, asking as he wiped, "How did you end up looking like a little painted cat?"
