Chapter 113
Yo. The Library of Van Shi Tong
Days passed in the familiar routines I had grown accustomed to. I helped my other selves with information, trained in contorting and stretching my body, visited the virtual reality room several times a week, and improved my control and understanding of the elements. I also made sure to spend quality time with my daughter. It still feels strange to use the word "daughter"—I'm not entirely used to having a little girl who is a part of me by my side...
Her achievements stir even more emotions in me than my own. I don't know, maybe that's how it's supposed to be. By this time, we had watched all the cartoons from the late 20th and early 21st centuries, so we decided to go back another decade. I was delighted to revisit heartfelt animated films like *The Aristocats*, *Lady and the Tramp*, *Robin Hood*, and *The Fox and the Hound*. I didn't forget about old Soviet cartoons either—some of them were not only on par with Western ones but even surpassed them.
Another day was coming to an end, and I was in bed with Dria and Celine. Celine refused to sleep in her own crib, and Dria and I had grown accustomed to retreating to another room for privacy. Things had changed in other ways too... Due to concerns that vaginal sex might lead to another child, we decided to focus on other forms of intimacy. But I'm plagued by doubts—it seems Dria can absorb my energy through her entire body, so anal and oral sex are also questionable. At first, I was afraid to "finish" even on her skin, worried she might absorb it. But what will be, will be. After all, Celine has already shown us she's not an ordinary child who needs constant supervision.
"So, do you like Gaia?" Dria asked me through our spiritual connection. How did our conversation even turn to this topic?
"Mmm, yeah, she's nice," I replied vaguely, waiting to understand why she asked.
"You like her too!" Dria said cheerfully.
"Uh-huh?" I broke the awkward silence. I could feel Dria hesitating, wanting to say something but holding back.
"Gaia wants a child!" she blurted out, sighing softly and patting her ample chest.
Now it was my turn to fall silent. I knew about Gaia's secret desire for a child but tried not to think about it. And now here we are...
"What do you think about it?" I asked, though jealousy doesn't seem to be in Dria's vocabulary.
