Chapter 23 Are you so starved for love?
Noah's words left Qi Yuan speechless.
Qi Yuan looked up and saw the mockery in Noah's eyes, realizing that the person in front of him was teasing him.
He was immediately furious.
Noah knew perfectly well how straightforward he was, yet he always played all sorts of little tricks on him.
She also felt like teasing him, so she asked, "Are you so starved for love?"
It was just a joke, but the other person answered it very seriously.
"They are quite scarce."
Noah had also been half-lying on the bed at some point, leaning against the pillow with his head resting on Qi Yuan's shoulder.
"My parents' marriage was a marriage of convenience. Do you know what a marriage of convenience is? It means that they got married for the sake of the interests of both families, without any personal feelings."
"Less than a month after I was born, my father and stepmother divorced. When I was three years old, my father remarried. My stepmother didn't like me and always secretly tormented me."
“My father knew, but he didn’t like me, so I let my stepmother torment me. Later, they had a daughter, and they poured all their love into my sister. However, when I was thirteen, they all died in a car accident orchestrated by Uncle Lane.”
"Then, the old man sent my sister and me to the Kronor Royal Noble Private Academy. We were generally not allowed to go home or leave the school except on holidays."
“I don’t have much of a relationship with my sister. When we meet, we either tease each other or sometimes even fight. But I’m more obedient than her. She got pregnant out of wedlock and died in childbirth. The old man then dumped that little one on me. If it weren’t for this little girl, who is only close to me, I would have wanted to dump her too.”
Noah reached out and pinched Patty's chubby little face.
“I have never received any love or blessings since birth, and I became a father at a young age, taking care of and loving a little girl. Tell me, how could I not lack love?”
Noah spoke of his childhood suffering with nonchalance.
Perhaps it is because he is old enough to deal with these things that he can talk about the past so easily.
No matter how nonchalantly he spoke, the listener Qi Yuan didn't know how to respond.
Seeing that Qi Yuan's expression was somewhat stiff, Noah said, "Tell me about your story too. Why did you become an orphan?"
"They couldn't afford the gas bill and froze to death at home."
Noah's heart skipped a beat.
When he saw that Qi Yuan was an orphan, he thought he had been abandoned by his parents. He never imagined that his parents had actually died of cold.
In fact, every year there are news reports of poor people in Juecheng dying of cold.
Juecheng is a major city in the Northern Continent, surrounded by few trees and mostly plains.
Poor people have no other way to keep warm except for gas heating, so once they run out of money for heating, their homes turn into iceboxes.
Noah had never experienced such coldness in his entire life, no matter how hard it was.
Hearing Qi Yuan say that his parents had died of cold, he was somewhat incredulous at first.
How did you survive?
“I went to a friend’s house. It was warm there, and my parents invited me to stay. When I came back, they had frozen to death. After my landlord saw that my parents had frozen to death, he kicked me out, and I ended up wandering the streets. I don’t need to say more about what happened after that; you should have already investigated it.”
Qi Yuan in this world is pitiful.
Although Qi Yuan was also an orphan in his original world, he was adopted by a boxer.
The boxer was unmarried and had no children, so he treated Qi Yuan like his own son and taught him all his boxing skills.
After Qi Yuan stepped into the boxing ring and won the championship, the boxer died of cancer. Before his death, he left his boxing gym to Qi Yuan.
In the original world, Qi Yuan was happy. He had a good adoptive father, boxing skills to make a living, and a boxing gym.
However, all of these things disappeared after I came into this world.
"The Eastern Continent is much more peaceful than the Northern Continent. Why don't you live in the Eastern Continent and come here instead?" Noah asked.
"I don't remember. I wasn't even born when they came to the Northern Continent."
"Would you like to go to Dongzhou?"
In the original owner's memory, Dongzhou was his dream hometown. He had never been there or seen it; he had only heard about it from his parents.
Noah suddenly asked him if he wanted to go to the Eastern Continent, and for a moment he didn't know how to answer.
After all, Qi Yuan felt no sense of belonging anywhere in this world.
"I've heard that the land area of the Eastern Continent is much larger than that of the Northern Continent. It's spring-like there all year round, and it doesn't snow in winter, unlike the Northern Continent where it's winter for half the year. So, once I'm done with things here and have some time, I'll take you to see the Eastern Continent."
“I heard that going to Dongzhou could take a month just for the journey.”
Although the four continents exist, they each lead their own lives, and the movement of goods and other commodities is slow.
After all, there are no airplanes in this world, and no roads between states.
If you drive along and then the road ends and there's a high mountain in front of you, then the car becomes useless.
Therefore, the four continents maintained the use of caravans to transport goods from one continent to another, and it would take at least a month for a caravan to travel to the other four continents.
Noah is the head of the Davis family. Even if no one is vying with him for the position of head of the family, it is still a big family, and it is unacceptable for the head of the family to be away from home for two months.
When I get home, I'm afraid my home might be torn down.
People in high positions of power and influence are like this: they possess power and wealth, but in such a social context, they are also bound by this power and wealth.
Noah sighed deeply, thinking about the journey to and from the Eastern Continent. "Yes, the Eastern Continent is too far away from us. It takes two months to go there and back. It takes too long. I should have gone to the Eastern Continent when I was younger."
"But it's not entirely hopeless. We can train this little girl and have her do things for me. Then we can go to Dongzhou for fun."
As Noah spoke, he reached out and pinched the little girl's chubby cheeks.
The little girl was still asleep when she unconsciously and angrily slapped the hand that was pinching her cheek.
"Although she is the child of my sister whom I don't like, this little girl is someone I depend on in this big family. She must understand my good intentions."
"Is it appropriate to decide on the next family member so early?" Qi Yuan asked.
Noah retorted, "Who else should I choose if not her? If I choose any of my other nephews and nieces, they'll all try to strangle me even if I'm not dead."
“You can let your child take your place,” Qi Yuan said.
Noah looked at him, then suddenly chuckled, and said in a flippant tone, "You'll have my baby?"
Qi Yuan frowned, showing signs of anger again.
Noah quickly apologized: "Just kidding, don't be angry. But, is it certain that I will never have my own children in this lifetime?"
