When they reached the door, Jiang Yao took the initiative to stand to the side and waited for Lu Xingzhi to open the door. She asked, "Is it really as magical as they say? The seller said that this is not a blessing brought by the lanterns. The lanterns are only well-known for their exquisite workmanship and beautiful designs."
After he opened the door, Lu Xingzhi let Jiang Yao enter the house first. He did not close the door because he had to go down again to help Mrs Lin carry the things. He answered Jiang Yao's question, "People who have bought these lanterns did say that they got pregnant straight away. When we got married, some of my comrades in the army bought a pair for us, but I didn't hang them up."
"Where did you put it?" Jiang Yao asked casually.
"I kept them in the living room at that time. Later, when my friend's children came by, they broke the lanterns, so I threw them away." Lu Xingzhi pointed to a corner of the living room and then looked at Jiang Yao mockingly. Then, he smiled and asked, "Everyone says that this lantern is very effective if it were hung up. What if you do get pregnant?"
Jiang Yao looked at Lu Xingzhi and said, "Whether or not I get pregnant has nothing to do with the lantern. Don't talk about baseless questions with a medical student!"
Lu Xingzhi thought about it for a moment and nodded thoughtfully. "Yes, whether or not you are pregnant has everything to do with your man, but nothing to do with the lanterns."
He smiled proudly. "If I want to get you pregnant, then you'll get pregnant. If I don't want you to get pregnant, then you won't get pregnant."
As he spoke, Lu Xingzhi put the things on the ground. He turned his head to look at the sofa and exclaimed, "Wife, your stupid cat has disappeared."
