Chapter 865: Taking Out the Two Babies
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Time passed by very fast. In the blink of an eye, it was the 10th of March.
Zi Yi had been staying in the laboratory at home during this period of time. While checking the clone’s data, she also developed some special building materials to be used for the aerospace base.
Unknowingly, her tummy became larger.
On the evening of the 19th, all the family members of the Lu Family and Dou Family came over.
Zi Yi planned to take the two babies out tonight.!!
“Yiyi, what do you want to eat? I’ll prepare it for you at once… When the babies are taken out, will you have to sleep for two days? Do you have to eat during these two days? Also…”
Mrs. Lu was worried and became a chatterbox. But she was not the only one, A few of Zi Yi’s Aunts were also seated on pins and needles.
First Madam said, “Yiyi, is this procedure really harmless to your health?”
Second Madam also asked, “After the babies are taken out, will they be constantly kept in the nutrient solution you mentioned?”
Third Madam said, “Oh my, I feel so nervous. The Heavens must protect Yiyi and her baby!”
Fourth Madam asked, “I brought along a hundred-year-old ginseng. Yiyi, why don’t you keep it in your mouth later?”
The men in the family also had slightly agitated expressions as they heard the women in the family chatter on and on.
Elder Dou in particular. He tightly held onto his walking cane and said to Zi Yi, “I’m still waiting for you to accompany me around M.Uni for a walk. No mishaps should happen.”
Zi Yi sat next to Elder Dou and held his hand while she said with a smile, “Grandpa, you are all too nervous. Taking the babies out is really a trivial matter and nothing serious will happen.”
“How could it be a trivial matter?” Elder Dou tapped the walking cane and said. He was still worried and so, he asked, “Have you invited your teacher and Elder Hu? With them around, they would be able to help even if something unexpected were to happen.”
Zi Yi wrinkled her nose. “They are watching the live stream of the operation at home. I feel that there’s no need for them to make a trip down here specially.”
Elder Dou made a fierce expression. “Why is there no need? Even if they are here, they won’t cause trouble for you anyways.”
“But… they would only be able to watch even if they came.”
There was already a huge crowd here and she barely managed to get them to promise not to come after wasting her saliva.
After Elder Dou heard that, he looked at her with a fierce expression.
Zi Yi hastily smiled and tried to flatter him. “I’ll give them a call right away.”
Having said that, she took out her phone and gave her teacher and Elder Hu a call.
After she finished making the call, Zi Yi said to him, “Grandpa, why don’t I read you a book?”
With that, she went to pick up a book she had borrowed from the professors from the Archaeology Department. She opened the book and started reciting.
This was a book covering speculations about the royal cemetery of a dynasty that did not exist in history. Stories of some incidents that happened in this dynasty were mixed inside.
When reading until the part where people in that dynasty made use of astronomical knowledge, Zi Yi paused and asked Elder Dou, “Grandpa, don’t you find that this dynasty is somewhat similar to the Sanxingdui dynasty?”
“There are indeed some similarities. This particular dynasty…”
The group of people who were nervous about the upcoming operation looked at the elder and the young woman who had started discussing historical knowledge. There was no need to mention how complicated their expressions were.
Dou Zerui breathed out and muttered, “I suddenly believe what Yiyi said. Taking the babies out is only a small operation.”
Having said that, he turned to look at Lu Jingye. He did not know if he should pity him or be envious instead. “Having such a smart wife must put you under a lot of pressure.”
Lu Jingye pursed his lips and glanced at Dou Zerui, but he did not say anything.
Dou Xiangling tugged Dou Zerui’s sleeves and reminded him not to talk.
Everyone could discern whether Lu Jingye was worried or not. Her brother’s EQ was too lacking. To think that he would say things like that at this moment.
Dou Zerui felt that he was relaxing everyone and he started talking again, “Since Cousin Yiyi is so relaxed, we should have the same attitude too. Otherwise, maybe we would be the ones being not ok while she’s totally fine.”
This time around, the Third Madam gave him a slap. “If you don’t speak, no one will think you’re mute.”
Only then did Dou Zerui keep his mouth shut.
Elder Tang and Elder Hu rushed over very soon and greeted everyone.
Elder Tang started lecturing Zi Yi. “You little lass, I did tell you to let us be here, didn’t I? You still said that it’s not needed.”
“That’s right. With us around, everyone would be slightly more at ease too.”
Both of them had seen a simulated version of the baby retrieval experiment. Compared to the other family member’s concerns and fears, they were more excited and looking forward to the new field of knowledge.
With these two doctors around, sure enough, everyone was less worried than before.
When Zi Yi entered the operating room, everyone was standing outside with the exception of Lu Jingye, Elder Tang, and Elder Hu.
When the operation started, everyone was shocked by how high-tech the baby operation was.
The main surgeon was a robot. The assistants were also robots.
Zi Yi was not put into a coma. She leaned on the chair and even started explaining to Elder Tang and Elder Hu about the steps of taking out the babies and the recovery procedures.
When the two newly developed babies were placed into the nutrient solution, and a complete set of systems that simulated the maternal placenta was connected, the group of people standing outside was stunned.
After the babies were taken out, Zi Yi looked at Lu Jingye who had been holding her hand as she said with a smile. “You can put me in the nutrient solution now. I’m only going to sleep for two days.”
Having said that, she closed her eyes.
Lu Jingye’s expression instantly changed.
Elder Tang and Elder Hu immediately sensed something different about him and hastily came over to check up on Zi Yi. Elder Tang said, “Little Lu, don’t worry. There’s a structural change in Little Zi’s body which made her body unable to adapt right away. It’s similar to how women who just gave birth are extremely exhausted. Hurry and put her inside the nutrient solution.”
Lu Jingye suddenly recovered his senses and hastily carried Zi Yi to put her inside the nutrient solution.
…
When Zi Yi was soaking in the nutrient solution, Professor Dou Xiaoyong brought the robot team to Country D.
The competition was on the 15th of March and Country D had expended quite the effort to publicize this event. In the end, almost everyone worldwide knew about it.
In addition, Country D would be holding the World Economic Forum after the robot competition. For a moment, all eyes were on Country D.
…
When Zi Yi opened her eyes again, it was already two days later.
She subconsciously tilted her head and made eye contact with Lu Jingye’s deep eyes.
Lu Jingye’s eyes were slightly red. Obviously, he was sleep deprived, but he did not have any stubbles on his chin, which Zi Yi was pleased about.
“I thought that I would see an Uncle’s face the moment I opened my eyes.”
All the worries Lu Jingye was feeling had dissipated due to Zi Yi’s words and he finally revealed a smile. He then raised his hand and pinched her cheeks. His voice sounded deep and hoarse due to the long duration of not talking. “Naughty girl.”
Zi Yi smiled at him and asked, “Where are the babies?”
Lu Jingye made way and Zi Yi could see two little babies soaking in the nutrient solution.
Zi Yi said with a smile, “They’ve only started developing now. When they have finished developing, they will start moving, as though they are moving in a mother’s womb… perhaps they might even fight with each other.”
Lu Jingye thought of the scene and somehow started to look forward to it.
After Zi Yi regained consciousness, it meant that everything was fine.
These two days, Second Master Lu and Mrs. Lu were also staying here. When Mrs. Lu saw Zi Yi coming out, she was extremely relieved.
“Great. You had worried us to death these two days.” Mrs. Lu grabbed her hand and checked her from head to toe. When she saw that Zi Yi looked radiant, she said with a smile, “Have you seen the two babies?”
“I saw them. They are very lovely.”
“That’s right. Well, they’re my babies after all.”
“Haha…”
