Chapter 42 (World Three)

   Meng Xiangbei was too late to stop it and could only watch helplessly as Ange'er's soul dissipated.


  He remained silent for a long time before finally taking Qiao Qingjun to Meng Po, giving him a bowl of Meng Po soup, and sending him into reincarnation.


  After consuming this dream, another boy appeared before him.


  He was dressed in modern clothes and had a handsome appearance, but his dark eyes were filled with madness and obsession.


  "Abei, don't leave me, don't leave me," he murmured as if possessed.


  Meng Xiangbei read his memories and began to weave a dream.


  -


  "Abei, the baby will be born in two months. He's already eight months along. Have you chosen a name for him yet?"


  When Meng Xiangbei came to his senses, he heard a gentle and clear young voice in his ear.


  The young man beside him was handsome, with exquisite features and a cool demeanor, yet his gaze was unusually gentle.


  At this moment, Meng Xiangbei was affectionately supporting the boy, who was wearing black pants and a white shirt, but the white shirt was particularly loose, revealing his round belly.


  The boy held Meng Xiangbei's hand and gently stroked his belly, intending to say it was the baby inside.


  They had just come out of the hospital. Meng Xiangbei had taken the boy for a prenatal checkup, and now they were on the street, waiting to hail a taxi home.


  "Yes, when he's born, his name will be Yuanjia, Meng Yuanjia." The doctor had already quietly told them that it was a son.


  “Yuanjia…” Yuan Xi murmured, taking Meng Xiangbei’s surname and a character from his name. It was really good.


  "Child, did you hear that? From now on, your name will be Meng Yuanjia." Yuan Xi gently stroked her belly.


  But at that moment, a huge, piercing sound was heard not far away.


  Yuan Xi subconsciously looked up and saw a small truck that seemed to have lost its brakes and was hurtling around, heading straight for the family of three.


  In that instant, apart from the approaching truck, he could feel nothing else; everything around him seemed to go blank for a moment.


  He could only hear his own increasingly heavy breathing and a dull pain in his abdomen.


  My legs felt like they were filled with lead, and I couldn't move them.


  "careful."


  A familiar voice pulled him back, and before Yuan Xi could react, it pushed him away.


  From the moment the small truck came hurtling towards them until Meng Xiangbei pushed Yuan Xi aside and the truck hit Meng Xiangbei, only a few seconds passed.


  "Bang."


  After a loud crash, Yuan Xi, clutching her abdomen, rolled to the ground and watched helplessly as the small truck ran over Meng Xiangbei.


  Hot blood spilled onto the ground, and a few drops landed on Yuan Xi's fair cheeks.


  "Abei, Abei..."


  Yuan Xi, dragging his aching abdomen, struggled to crawl toward the motionless young man lying on the ground.


  The scene before me grew increasingly dark.


  Before Yuan Xi fell into a coma, he heard more and more noise around him.


  "There's been a car accident, call the police immediately!"


  "Quick, the driver is trying to escape, stop him!"


  "My God, this person has been run over like this, it seems he won't survive."


  "There's a pregnant man here, he's bleeding down there, quick, get him to the hospital!"


  "..."


  Fortunately, the two had just come out of the hospital and were not far from it. Soon, hospital staff who had been notified put them on stretchers and carried them inside.


  Upon arriving at the hospital, the pregnant Yuanxi was immediately taken to the emergency room, and shortly after, he was transferred to the delivery room.


  "Notify the pregnant man's family to come to the hospital as soon as possible. His condition is very dangerous. The baby is only eight months old. It is very likely that both the baby and the baby will die."


  When Meng Xiangbei regained consciousness, he saw that Yuan Xi, who was still unconscious, was being taken into the delivery room.


  "Yuanxi, Yuanxi..." he called out, instinctively reaching out to touch Yuanxi, but his hand passed right through his body.


  No one around saw him.


  Meng Xiangbei even saw his own body being hastily taken to the morgue.


  So, he was already dead.


  "How is Yuan Xi?"


  "How is Meng Xiangbei?"


  Three teenagers rushed in from outside the hospital, their faces filled with barely concealed panic.


  "What is your relationship to the patient?" the doctor asked gravely.


  “We were his college roommates.”


  "His college roommate?" the doctor frowned. "What about his family?"


  Mentioning Yuan Xi's family, a shadow fell over the boy's eyes. He said, "Yuan Xi's family is in our hometown; they can't come." The boy clenched his fist, his eyes reddening. "Doctor, I received a call saying they were in a car accident and taken to the hospital. How are they now?"


  The doctor sighed and told them that Meng Xiangbei was dead and that Yuan Xi and the child were in mortal danger.


  “How could this be? Yuanxi told me just half an hour ago that they came to the hospital for a prenatal checkup and the baby was healthy. He was very happy. How could this happen so suddenly…” A roommate covered his face with his hands in anguish, tears streaming down his face through his fingers.


  "Doctor, please, you must save Yuanxi and his son."


  "We will do our best." The doctor wasn't very confident either.


  Meng Xiangbei, who had already died and become a ghost, passed through the wall and followed the doctor into the delivery room.


  "Doctor, the pregnant man has lost too much blood and is receiving a blood transfusion."


  "Arrange for him to start production as soon as possible."


  "The pregnant man remained unconscious, and his will to live seemed very weak."


  “A cesarean section can be performed, but if the pregnant man cannot deliver the baby, the mother will be considered dead.”


  "Take measures as soon as possible to raise the awareness of pregnant men."


  Hearing that Yuan Xi had given up and had given up his will to live, Meng Xiangbei was on the verge of collapse. He wanted to hold Yuan Xi's hand and tell him to try his best to hold on and give birth to the child, but no matter what he said or did, no one could hear or see it, and it was all in vain.


  He could only call out Yuan Xi's name over and over again.


  "Yuanxi, don't give up, wake up, our child needs you."


  "Yuanxi, you are the bravest, right? You will definitely get through this."


  "Yuanxi, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have abandoned you and the child. Yuanxi, wake up, wake up, you and the child must live well."


  -


  At this moment, Yuan Xi was amidst a sea of ​​blood.


  The sky was blood-red, the land was blood-red, and the surrounding area was desolate.


  "Abei, Abei, where are you?" Yuan Xi clutched his aching abdomen, searching everywhere for that familiar figure, but no matter how he looked, the place was empty, and he was all alone.


  "Abei, please don't abandon me and the child, come out."


  "Abei, where are you? My stomach hurts so much."


  Yuan Xi clutched his abdomen, his usually cold face contorted with pain.


  "Yuanxi, I'm here, come here..."


  Just then, a familiar voice rang out, as magnetic as ever, and its distinctive tone immediately revealed it to be that of a sunny, cheerful, and lively young man.


  As if bewitched, Yuan Xi walked step by step toward the direction of the voice.


  Soon, on the other side of the crimson sky, an abyss appeared.


  A familiar figure was reflected in the abyss.


  The young man was wearing ripped dark jeans, a white hooded sweatshirt, and had short, neat hair. He was handsome, and when he smiled, he revealed two cute little tiger teeth. He exuded a youthful, lively, and pleasant aura.


  "Abei," Yuan Xi couldn't help but call out.


  "Yuan Xi, I'm here. Come to me." The young man in the abyss slowly stretched out his hands, which were as long and slender as ever with distinct knuckles.


  "Alright." A faint smile slowly appeared on Yuan Xi's cold face as he reached out his hand to the young man in the abyss.


  "Yuanxi, wake up! For our child, you have to hold on..." The hand that was about to touch his suddenly stopped. Yuanxi looked up at the blood-red sky and listened to the urgent calls.


  That was Ah Bei's voice too.


  "Yuanxi, for our child's sake, please wake up. I know you're strong, aren't you..."


  The child? What happened to the child?!


  Why wake up?


  Isn't Ah Bei here?


  "Yuanxi, give me your hand quickly, I'll take you away from here." The young man called out urgently from the abyss.


  Just then, a series of bloody images flooded into Yuan Xi's mind.


  After their prenatal checkup, they were in a car accident. Ah Bei pushed him away and was run over by a small truck. They said, they said Ah Bei died.


  No, no, how could Ah Bei be dead?


  "Abei, Abei..."


  Yuan Xi, who was lying in the delivery room, suddenly opened his eyes.


  "The pregnant man is awake! That's wonderful! Get ready to deliver the baby!" The doctors were overjoyed.


  Yuan Xi's eyes were already bloodshot. He grabbed the doctor's hand with his slender hand and asked urgently and with difficulty, "Doctor, where is Abei? Where is Abei? I want to see him. Please let me see him."


  Meng Xiangbei, who was overjoyed that Yuan Xi had woken up, felt a chill in his heart and his eyes showed pain.


  The doctor hesitated for a moment, then said, "Are you asking about the young man who was in the car accident with you? He died on the spot."


  Yuan Xi felt as if a thunderbolt had exploded in his mind.


  The hand she was holding slipped helplessly from the doctor's grasp.


  "No, no, how could he die? How could he die? I want to see him, I don't believe it." Yuan Xi was like a madman, trying to get up and check for himself, but the doctors held him down. His pale face was bloodless, and his lips were as white as paper. Blood kept flowing from under his body, staining the area red.


  He felt dizzy, but he still insisted on going out.


  "He's already dead. Your most important task now is to give birth to the child, otherwise you and the child will both die." The doctors tried to hold him down, but Yuan Xi, who was already exhausted, had very little strength and fell back down before he could even get up.


  “I believe that if he were still alive, he would want you and the child to be safe and sound.”


  The doctor was still trying to persuade him, but Yuan Xi, who was lying down, seemed not to hear him. His eyes were wide open, but he was as still as a wooden figure that had lost its soul.


  Ah Bei, if you really die, then my child and I will die with you.


  Yuan Xi completely lost his will to live, essentially pushing himself and his child toward death.


  The pain in his abdomen felt like something was being pulled out of his body, but Yuan Xi seemed completely oblivious to it.


  Meng Xiangbei desperately called Yuan Xi's name by the hospital bedside, but Yuan Xi couldn't hear him. He tried to reach out and hold Yuan Xi's hand, but couldn't touch it.


  A sense of powerlessness enveloped Meng Xiangbei.


  Left with no other choice, Meng Xiangbei could only use some of the Nightmare Beast's abilities to make Yuan Xi able to see him.


  "Yuanxi, it's me, Abei. Can you see me?"


  Meng Xiangbei finally grasped Yuan Xi's hand and gently wiped away the silent tears falling from the corner of his eyes with his fingertips.


  “Yuanxi, look at me, it’s me, Abei, I’m here.”


  Yuan Xi's eyes, which had been wide open and motionless, shifted slightly as he turned his head to look at the person beside him. Upon seeing that familiar face, his pupils dilated abruptly.


  Meng Xiangbei stroked his face: "Yuanxi, that's our child, the fruit of our love. How could you bear to let him die like this? Do you remember the nursery we prepared for him? Do you remember his little shoes, clothes, and hat? Do you remember the name I gave him? How could you abandon our Yuanjia?"


  Meng Xiangbei slowly placed a hand on his swollen belly: "Did you hear that? Little Yuanjia is crying. He's saying why his little dad doesn't want him, but he loves his little dad so much, he really wants to be his little dad's child. Yuanxi, can you really bear to abandon him?"


  Yuan Xi shook his head with tears streaming down his face. His voice was weak and low, yet urgent and firm: "Yes, I like him. I really like him."


  "Then let's try our best to give birth to him, okay? Let him see this beautiful world, and see his loving little dad, okay?"


  “Okay, okay.” Yuan Xi nodded.


  Meng Xiangbei smiled with satisfaction and lowered his head to place a kiss on his forehead.


  "I want to give birth to this child."


  The doctors who were almost considering a cesarean section were overjoyed to hear his words.


  Yuan Xi gripped the bedsheets tightly with all his might, his pale, delicate face covered in fine sweat, which even dampened the hair on his forehead.


  He clenched his teeth to keep himself from crying out in pain.


  "Yuanxi, keep going, you can do it!" Meng Xiangbei cheered him on from the side.


  "Ah..." Yuan Xi finally couldn't help but cry out in pain.


  With that exclamation, the baby was finally born.


  "Great! It's a boy, but he's too weak. Quickly clean him up and put him in an incubator."


  After giving birth, Yuan Xi was completely exhausted, but a faint smile appeared on his lips.


  He looked at Meng Xiangbei beside him. He was too weak to speak, but he gazed at the young man with longing eyes, as if to say: "Abei, I tried my best, and I finally gave birth to our child."


  "Our Yuanxi is amazing." Meng Xiangbei lowered his head and slowly pressed his lips to the boy's.


  Yuanxi, I won't be around anymore. You and Xiao Yuanjia must be strong. I will always love you and be there for you, even where you can't see me.


  Yuan Xi was too tired. He slowly closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep.


  -


  The doctor has cleaned the dirt off the child and placed him in an incubator.


  The baby was only eight months old, premature, thin and red all over, like a newborn kitten.


  He was so small and weak, as if he might stop breathing at any moment.


  Meng Xiangbei examined the child's body and sighed softly.


  I began to piece together the story of this dream.


  This is a world of humans and people with mermaid blood.


  Long ago, humans and mermaids coexisted, and they could even intermarry. But as time passed, the number of mermaids dwindled until they finally died out and disappeared completely.


  Humans and mermaids can only live on land and do not have mermaid tails.


  As the mermaid bloodline in their bodies becomes increasingly diluted, the only difference between human and mermaid hybrids and humans is that male mermaid hybrids can have children.


  However, when a mermaid hybrid gives birth, it must be a natural birth. If a cesarean section is performed, the child can survive, but the mother will die on the spot.


  Therefore, doctors will not perform a cesarean section on pregnant mermaid hybrid individuals unless absolutely necessary.


  Yuan Xi, a 19-year-old freshman at A University in S City, is a male mermaid hybrid who is capable of reproduction.


  He was born in a poor town. His parents died early, and his uncle took Yuanxi in for the sake of Yuanxi's parents' property.


  However, from a young age, they would beat and scold Yuanxi, and never treated him as their own nephews, making Yuanxi work like a slave for their family.


  Little Yuanxi lived in a terrible, leaky, and cold little woodshed, and ate the leftovers from his older cousins.


  His uncle even planned to make him drop out of school and go to work before he even graduated from elementary school.


  Because he was too young to claim his parents' inheritance, Yuanxi knew that only by studying and leaving the small town could he change his fate.


  Finally, he sought help from a highly respected great-grandfather in the clan, and only then did he regain the opportunity to study.


  Yuan Xi grew up in such a difficult environment.


  Yuanxi spent most of his time working and didn't have much time to study, but he worked very hard, and because he was naturally smart, he eventually got into the best high school in the city.


  It was there that Yuan Xi met Meng Xiangbei, a senior from the same grade.


  In a true sense, Meng Xiangbei was not a scumbag; on the contrary, he loved Yuan Xi very much.


  Fate and liking are probably strange things.


  During the new year, Meng Xiangbei somehow fell in love at first sight with Yuan Xi, who was thin, small, and had dark skin.


  Meng Xiangbei is handsome, enthusiastic, cheerful and unrestrained. He is like the warmest sun in the sky, and many girls and merman hybrid men like him.


  But Meng Xiangbei didn't like any of them. The day after he met Yuan Xi, Meng Xiangbei confessed his feelings to him.


  Yuan Xi refused without hesitation.


  But Yuanxi knew that on the day of welcoming the new students, he fell in love at first sight with this big boy who was as warm and unrestrained as the sun, but he was insecure.


  Meng Xiangbei is the sun high above, while he is a humble weed in the mud. He is not worthy of Meng Xiangbei at all. He longs to get close to him, yet he is afraid of being burned.


  But Meng Xiangbei did not give up; he used all his abilities to pursue Yuan Xi.


  Bringing breakfast, chance encounters, switching seats to sit together, becoming roommates, using tutoring as an excuse, eating together, reading together, watching movies together, creating all sorts of ambiguous situations...


  He used all his efforts to warm Yuan Xi's cold heart little by little.


  Yuan Xi had always been drawn to Meng Xiangbei's warmth, and he fell in love with him at first sight. Finally, after two years of Meng Xiangbei's persistent efforts, Yuan Xi agreed to be with him.
