After Becoming the NPC's Daughter - Chapter 2

Chapter 2

When I regained consciousness, I was already a tiny spark of life.

Though I couldn’t see or move, I could hear sounds from the outside world.

“Hubby, I have good news-I’m pregnant!”

That sweet, girlish voice belonged 100% to the female lead of this Plane, Si Han.

But what followed was the terrified, trembling voice of Ji Shijing.

“No, we can’t have this child.”

“Why?” Si Han’s voice immediately turned cold.

Ji Shijing paused, lowering his voice as if he were terrified I might hear him.

“I had a master calculate it for me. A child conceived on the 19th is a ‘Star of Calamity,’ a reincarnated tyrannical landlord. If it’s born, it can only be a demon child. We can’t have it, we really can’t.”

“Be good, let’s wait a few years!”

Si Han let out a cold laugh.

“What kind of excuse is that?”

“I think you’re just in mourning. Your precious childhood friend Lin Yi died, and you’re so heartbroken that you want to observe a three-year mourning period for her. You just don’t want any ‘joyous events’ during that time, right?”

Ji Shijing scrambled to defend himself.

“Baby, what are you talking about? I never liked her. I couldn’t be happier that she’s dead.”

“Fine, fine, fine. We’ll have the baby. We’ll have it.”

At two o’clock in the morning, I heard Ji Shijing, who still hadn’t fallen asleep, seemingly kowtowing toward Si Han’s belly.

“I beg you, as long as it’s not Lin Yi, you can be Red Boy or the Bull Demon King for all I care.”

“If it really comes down to it, I can even accept a Lazy Sheep.”

Then he began to mutter to himself, trying to provide his own psychological counseling.

“No, it won’t happen. There’s no way she could successfully reincarnate here by such a coincidence. It’s a coincidence. Everything is just a coincidence.”

“Amitabha, may the Bodhisattva protect me…”

Months later, Ji Shijing took Si Han for a prenatal checkup.

Si Han said she wanted a daughter.

The examining doctor gave a gentle smile and said, “Well, your dream might just come true.”

The atmosphere was quite lively-or it would have been, if Ji Shijing hadn’t let out a blood-curdling scream.

“She!! She just flashed me a peace sign!”

Si Han and the doctor both shot him a look as if he were a complete idiot.

Ji Shijing, a grown man standing 187 centimeters tall, was shaking like a leaf in front of the ultrasound machine.

“That… the baby my wife is carrying… just now, in that image, she gave me a peace sign…”

He tried to explain to everyone.

But who would believe such an absurd claim?

The doctor laughed to smooth things over.

“Oh, it looks like your husband is just too excited. While a six-month-old fetus has limbs, they can’t exactly flash peace signs.”

Inside Si Han’s belly, I almost doubled over laughing.

Yes, I did just flash a peace sign.

I did it specifically to scare the living daylights out of this bastard.

That night, after returning home from the checkup, I heard Ji Shijing brainwashing himself again.

“It’s not her, it’s not her… even if it’s a daughter, it’s not necessarily her. Ji Shijing, don’t scare yourself. Relax. God definitely wouldn’t make things this hard for you.”
