The baby-making system is unreliable

His eyes were gentle and full of expectation, love overflowing from them. Yun Xirou leaned sideways and took his hand, hiding it in her sleeve.

"Yeah, that's true, but when we walk down the street together, the shadows under the lights keep changing, isn't that interesting?!"

Xu Yimo raised his eyes slightly, glanced at the two little kids walking in front of him, narrowed his eyebrows, focused his gaze on her, and hugged her carefully.

At this moment, they were like ordinary people in this city, walking hand in hand through the bustling streets and looking at the most ordinary lights in the capital.

Walking straight on the street, there are pedestrians passing by. The most direct manifestation of the atmosphere of life is the colorful lights on the eaves.

Yun Xirou smiled faintly and nodded slightly, but she noticed the lanterns hanging on the eaves and terraces of the tall buildings on both sides.

People would light candles inside the lamps, tie them to bamboo poles, and hang them high up on the eaves or terraces, or use small lamps to build various shapes, such as words or animal shapes, and hang them high up in the house.

The lanterns hung by wealthy families could be several meters high, and the family members would gather under the lanterns to drink and celebrate; while ordinary people would erect a flagpole and hang two lanterns, and the entire street would be filled with colorful lights.

"This folk custom of lighting lanterns is to light lanterns on bamboo poles and hang them high up on the eaves on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival. This custom is called "Tree Mid-Autumn Festival" or "Vertical Mid-Autumn Festival."

Yun Xirou knew a lot about these little troublemakers among the people. She once sneaked out with her brother and mingled with the crowd on the street.

"I used to just stand on the city wall and watch the Mid-Autumn Festival lights from afar, but never got to be there up close like this."

Before, he had no intention of leaving and would only watch the fireworks in the city from afar. Unexpectedly, someone would bring him into this world of fireworks.

"Isn't it more beautiful to watch it in the fireworks than standing outside?! Ah Mo, do you want a lantern?!"

Yun Xirou's face was filled with joy, and the warm light shining on her face added a touch of tenderness and sweetness.

"Arou, these are the lanterns that people hang on their doors." Xu Yimo said softly, his eyes fell gently on Arou, as if he wanted to imprint every one of her expressions deeply in his heart.

Xu Yimo gently held Arou's hand, feeling the warmth from her fingertips, and a strong sense of happiness surged in his heart.

"Arou, I really hope time can stay at this moment forever." Xu Yimo murmured to himself, with a barely perceptible hint of attachment in his voice.

"Hmm?" Arou turned her head slightly and looked at Xu Yimo with a puzzled look on her face.

"Being able to stand side by side with you in this world and appreciate these bright lights together is the greatest happiness in my life." Xu Yimo's eyes sparkled with sincere emotion, and his words were like the brightest stars in the night sky, illuminating Arou's heart.

Ah Rou's eyes were slightly moist. She nodded gently and interlocked her fingers with the person beside her. Her voice was filled with emotion as she whispered, "Me too."

Xu Yimo stroked Arou's hair gently, his eyes full of doting.

"This, I like this. Daddy, Princess, Rabbit God, Rabbit God!! Little Watermelon wants this!"

Little Watermelon looked around at the small stalls and felt that what he saw was like a dream, as many of them were gadgets he had never seen before.

Under Lan Zhi's confused gaze, Little Watermelon stopped in front of a stall surrounded by children, looking at the exquisite little gadgets and shouting excitedly.

Du Xicong turned around, touched his son's head, walked towards the stall, bought three small toys, handed them to the two children, and took one in his hand.

"Daddy, shame on you, why did you keep one for yourself!? Shame on you, hehe...why not give them all to Little Watermelon!?"

There are some little ideas hidden in the little watermelon's eyes. While holding his own, he is still thinking about others. This little look makes people smile.

Xu Shuyao patted her son on the head lightly and half-chastised him in a playful manner, "You have a good plan. You have even schemed against your father. So what if he doesn't give it to you? Do you have any objections?!"

After saying that, she took the Rabbit God from Du Xi's hand without leaving any trace and played with it happily.

Yun Xirou looked at the family of three, especially Little Watermelon, whose face was pursed with grievance, and couldn't help wanting to laugh.

“Pfft…I think that was originally prepared for Sister Shuyao?! Little Watermelon is about to cry, but no one cares, hahaha.”

At this time, she felt that there really was a saying that parents truly loved their children, but their children were just an accident.

"Come on! Rabbit God, I find this novel too! Ah Rou, what do you think of this?!"

Xu Yimo also found it interesting when he pulled Yun Xirou, so he picked one with a back flag, a three-petal rabbit mouth, long ears standing upright, and the face painting was also very lifelike.

"Sir, you have a good eye. The rabbit figurines here are famous for their quality. They are well-known clay figurines. All the children in the neighborhood have one! Sir and this lady, why don't you bring your children here? Your children will definitely like them..."

The vendor lady was really talkative. She had been talking non-stop since they stood here. But it was also true that this thing was originally a toy for children, so she would naturally talk more when facing children.

"Ahem... well, Mo, let's go with this one. Okay, now that we've picked one, let's go."

Yun Xirou also picked a similar one, took him to pay, and walked forward to follow the figures of the people in front. Listening to what the vendor said, she couldn't help but want to run.

Children?! Why didn’t she bring her children? Isn’t it a coincidence that she was pregnant with two?! Then why did she run away? Maybe she thought it was inappropriate for two adults to play with this thing?!

"Arou, why are you walking so fast?! Do you like this playful thing?! I've heard that this rabbit god is also called the 'rabbit god', and children in the streets and alleys like to play with it."

Xu Yimo looked at the toy in his hand and called her with a smile. He felt it was very novel and remembered some descriptions in the book and said them out loud.

"The book says that it has a rabbit head and a human body, with a three-petal rabbit mouth and erect rabbit ears. The Rabbit God is usually dressed in armor, with a back flag, and his face is covered with gold paste and painted. He can be seen in various postures, sitting or standing, pounding a pestle or riding an animal."

Yun Xirou touched the rabbit in her hand and smiled lightly, surprised at his memory, and then said: "You have a really good memory. I just think this is pretty and fun, so I like it a little."

In fact, most people like it because it looks good and it is not expensive. So, they will buy it and take it home for good luck.

While walking on the street, I suddenly heard the sound of gongs and drums coming from the road ahead. The scene was so lively that it attracted the attention of almost all the pedestrians on the street.

"Oh, there's something exciting to watch, let's go and have a look. I don't think you can see this kind of scene every year! "

Xu Shuyao seemed to have seen the scene in front of her clearly. A bright smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. She stopped and looked at the group of people in front of her.

"I can't see, daddy, hold me, oh!" Little Xigua cried and shouted for Du Xicong to pick him up. They were squeezed in the crowd, and the living environment for the two children was a little difficult.

Although Lan Zhi beside her didn't shout, her furrowed brows showed her irritability. She also didn't like being crowded like this.

Perhaps because they were afraid that the two children would get lost, Xu Shuyao and her husband tacitly understood each of them and held one in their arms, so that the two little ones were able to breathe fresh air.

There were bursts of firecrackers and as the crowd moved, there was some distance between people and gradually only the figures of the people in front could be seen.

As for what was said, it was probably inaudible as the sound of firecrackers was so loud that people could not hear anything else. A pair of hands silently appeared on Yun Xirou's ears, blocking out some of the sound for her.

Yun Xirou was completely protected by his cloak. She could smell his scent in her breath and her heart was beating wildly as if it was being gripped by an invisible hand.

After the firecrackers were set off, the air was filled with smoke. It was the smell of gunpowder that made it almost impossible to open your eyes.

Yun Yirou came to her senses when she heard Xu Yimo's slight cough. She pulled him down, put her arms around his waist, and let his head approach her shoulder.

Suddenly, the person in front of him pulled him closer. Xu Yimo could clearly smell the scent on her neck. His mind seemed to recall the time a few days ago when they were making love. This was his favorite place.

His slender fingers fell on her shoulder, and there was a hint of strangeness in his eyes. Thinking of the teeth mark he left on Yun Xirou's collarbone, she subconsciously turned her head to look over.

The teeth marks have faded a little and you can only see them if you look carefully. It's been three months, so of course they have faded a little.

"Uh, A-Mo, are you feeling better?! There are a lot of people around...looking at us. Um, what are they doing?! Why is it so lively?!"

There was some shyness in Yun Xirou's tone. She loosened his shirt slightly, gently pushed him to create an inch of distance, and pulled his hand.

She didn't mean to do that in public. She just heard him coughing and couldn't help but worry, so she did this. It wasn't intentional.

"Well, I think it might be the 'stealing melons to give birth' mentioned in the book. It is a spontaneous activity of the people of Qingcheng. It can also be regarded as a unique custom of the Mid-Autumn Festival. It is intended to pray for infertile couples to get pregnant and have children."

Xu Yimo was reluctant to come back to his senses. He looked at the reactions of the people around him and roughly guessed what was going on. He took the initiative to explain to Yun Yirou, "On this day, a kind-hearted young man will take advantage of the bright moonlight to steal a large winter melon, carve the shape of a child on it, and then put on the prepared child clothes."

"After that, they would beat gongs and drums to deliver the winter melon to childless families. After entertaining the guests, the man who received the winter melon would put the winter melon on his bed and sleep with his wife overnight. The next day, he would cook the winter melon and eat it. If the woman got pregnant later, she would have to thank these guys."

This was a story from a book. It was the first time Xu Yimo had seen it. He felt it was somewhat magical and looked at it a few more times along with the crowd.

"Is there such a way to pray for a child?! This is the first time I've seen it, and I've learned a lot. But I don't know whose son is praying for a child? This family seems to be a wealthy one, too!"

Yun Xirou wanted to see more clearly, but there were too many heads in front of her, so she could only see a single shadow.

He looked like a man of some age, not very tall, with a somewhat wealthy look, and a smile on his face.

"I can't see clearly either. There are too many people and it's hard to move forward. Ah Rou, be careful with your step."

Xu Yimo took the person in his arms into consideration and carefully protected her and the child. He did not dare to go to a crowded place for fear of bumping into him.

Therefore, I couldn't see it clearly, and thought that if she was really interested, I would ask Xiao Linzi to come back and find out.

A passerby holding his daughter in his arms said to the two with a smile, "Madam and this young man, don't you know? That man is Yan Junning, the prince of Jingping Marquis's mansion. He is over 45 years old, but the mansion still has no legitimate son."

"In the early years, I prayed all over Qingcheng just to have a son, but what a pity! This prince has four daughters in a row. This year, I finally put in a lot of effort and found a young man whose family just happened to have winter melons that had fruited."

"Isn't it? It's just a coincidence that we encountered this season. This year we got the chance to try it out. We have all seen it, and we will soon know whether this method works or not?"

The bearded man also spoke with amusement, as if he was very interested in whether this method of seeking a child was effective.

"When it comes to the secret recipe for having a child, the prince of Jingping Marquis's mansion knows the most. Hey, madam and young master, if you want to have a child, why don't you go ask the prince?!"

The lady on the side of the road looked at the two of them jokingly, and what she said made Yun Xirou's ears blush, and she felt a little hot because of the crowd.

Xu Yimo smiled politely, knowing that she didn't want to answer, and took the initiative to say: "Don't bother this lady, it's not too late to visit again if you need anything!"

The older lady seemed to know it and showed an expression that said, "I understand." The younger lady was a little shy and it was not easy to say these things to her, but she understood it all.

Yun Xirou could only smile awkwardly, thinking to herself: Why are all the things I encountered today urging people to have babies? !

I don’t know how long the commotion will last. Yun Xirou just felt that she had been staying in a crowded place for too long, and her chest was stuffy and her face changed.

Seeing that something seemed wrong with her face, Xu Yimo took her away from the crowd and walked to a less crowded place near the alley.

Looking at Yun Xirou who was hiding aside and feeling a little nauseous, Xu Yimo felt a little guilty. He patted her back anxiously and panicked, blaming himself for being careless.

"Arou, it's all my fault. I should have thought of it earlier. It's hard to be in a crowded place. You will feel uncomfortable if you stay there for too long. It's all my fault!"

Yun Yirou vomited for a long time before she shook her head, raised her eyebrows, held his hand and said, "Amo, I just wanted to watch the fun, how can I blame you?!"

"Pregnancy is like this. I'm fine. It's just, what a pity! I didn't see the whole excitement. I may not be able to see it next time."

Compared to these discomforts, she actually cared more about not having finished watching the excitement?! She was still thinking that she might not be able to meet him next time, but she was really.
