Chapter 107: Chapter 107 My Mom Called Me Home for Dinner
“Oh!” Mengmeng nodded, but her curiosity only grew. She looked at her thumb, gazing at Gu’s mom innocently, “How can they meet then?”
“Er… uh… uh…” This question was certainly rated R and no longer fell within the range of common knowledge that children should know. Gu’s mom finally couldn’t speak anymore, hastily chuckled, “Oh Mengmeng, I just remembered, my mom called me to come home for dinner, cough cough, no, I mean I have to prepare for a surgery for a pregnant woman, I can’t talk anymore, I have to go first!”
As soon as she had finished speaking, Gu’s mom dashed out as if flying.
“Uh…” Seeing her suddenly run away, Mengmeng was stunned for a moment, frowning and muttering to herself, “Why did she leave? Didn’t godmother say there were no surgeries today? How come there is one now?”
“Did you not realize she just found an excuse to run away?” Gu Zhihan calmly reminded from the side.
“Ah! So that’s it!” Mengmeng finally understood.
It seemed she really hadn’t noticed; utterly clueless to the highest degree!
Gu Zhihan immediately looked a bit disdainful, crossing his arms.
“Honey, then do you know how the egg and the sperm meet?” Although Gu’s mom was gone, Mengmeng hadn’t forgotten that there was still a school whiz right here!
So she quickly continued asking.
“This…” Gu Zhihan pursed his lips, recalling the eighth-grade biology textbook he had studied on his own—the human reproduction section, thinking of the diagrams and descriptions of certain organs of males and females, his usually pale cheeks suddenly turned red.
At that moment, he could emphatically understand just how awkward and desperate his mom must have felt.
How could anyone comfortably speak out the answer to such a question!
He, too, wished he could quickly find an excuse to escape.
“Weird, honey, why is your face so red?” Seeing him not answering and muttering to herself, the naive Mengmeng found Gu’s mom and her husband’s reactions to her question very strange.
Could there be something unspeakable about this question?
“It’s nothing.” Gu Zhihan was, after all, Gu Zhihan. Even if his insides were in turmoil, he maintained a cool and calm façade as if he had the whole world in his grasp.
In simple terms, he was just pretending.
“Oh…” Mengmeng blinked her eyes, “Then hurry up and answer my previous question.”
Still, she wouldn’t let go of the question…
Gu Zhihan couldn’t help but feel a bit of a headache. After thinking a bit, he simply shook his head, “Actually… I don’t know either.”
Sorry, even if it was something from a textbook, it was hard for him to say it out loud to her.
She would eventually learn it in eighth grade from the textbook.
“Well, alright then.” Mengmeng pouted, not doubting his word. Under Gu Zhihan’s guilty gaze, she continued, “Since even such a smart person like you doesn’t know, then Tong Mo and Lu Zichen, those two dummies, definitely wouldn’t know either. Asking them would be a waste of time, better not to ask.”
“Yeah, so you shouldn’t ask around anymore.” Gu Zhihan casually stroked her little head, continuing, “Anyway, you’ll eventually find out, there’s no rush at this moment.”
Even if she were in a rush, it wouldn’t help. She was still so young, she hadn’t even started her menstrual period yet, she couldn’t have children.
Oh… and by the way, when he said ‘you’ll eventually find out,’ he meant from the biology textbook—not from him!
