Chapter 719: Beauty Is In the Eyes of the Beholder
When Ouyang Ming saw his appearance, he said with a determined look, “Ah He, I know your thoughts. Since you can’t speak, leave the rest to me and wait for the good news.”
Having said that, he pushed the cart away and turned to leave.
“Cough cough cough…
“Cough cough… cough cough…”
He Fei felt his heart aching due to coughing. At the same time, it affected his physical injuries. His eyes rolled back and he lost consciousness.
…
Zi Yi had a good sleep and only woke up when Lu Jingye called her to have dinner.
Lu Jingye helped her up and said, “If you’re still tired, you can go to bed after dinner.”
Zi Yi sat there and rubbed her eyes. At the thought that she still had many things to do, she said, “I’m not tired anymore.”
Lu Jingye was amused by her appearance and stroked her head. “If you’re not tired, let’s go for a stroll after dinner.”
Zi Yi gave an affirmative response and asked, “How is the progress with the refining going?”
Zi Yi had inserted the method for refining the materials into Shadow. Whenever Lu Jingye encountered difficulty during the refinement, Shadow would a.s.sist on the side. “It’s more or less done, and it’s just waiting for you to synthesize it.”
Zi Yi was at ease.
She wore her shoes and washed her face in the washroom, before the both of them went down together.
Lu Yunxiao was currently sitting in the living room and it was obvious he was waiting for them to start eating dinner.
Little Loli was sitting beside him with her cheeks propped up by her hands as she admired his face.
“Oppa Lu, you’re really cool. You’re as cool as A, whom I like.”
Unexpectedly, Lu Yunxiao asked, “A?”
Little Loli immediately responded in an excited tone. “It’s the most handsome, coolest, and most powerful A who was created in the same batch as me~”
Zi Yi burst out laughing at Little Loli’s words.
Both the man and the robot heard sounds of laughter and turned over at the same time.
Lu Yunxiao stood up and walked over to the dining table.
Little Loli sat there and pouted discontentedly. “Sister, why did you laugh? Did I say anything wrong? My A is really handsome and cool.”
Zi Yi said awkwardly, “I think that all the robots I made are very handsome.”
“Hehe, because for me, beauty is in the eye of the beholder.”
Zi Yi nodded her head. “Alright then, you’re right.”
Little Loli continued giggling as she sat there.
After the three of them finished dinner, Lu Jingye accompanied Zi Yi to take a stroll in the yard.
Lu Yunxiao did not leave the villa and he was also standing in the yard with them.
Zi Yi asked, “Yunxiao, are you going out tonight?”
Lu Yunxiao gave a concise answer. “Yes.”
Zi Yi looked at Lu Jingye.
Lu Jingye said, “Yunxiao will be leaving after we synthesize the s.h.i.+eld.” He then added. “Ouyang Ming went to look for He Fei today.”
“What did he do?”
“He didn’t do anything. He said a few words and caused He Fei to faint from anxiety.”
“…”
What was with that?
Lu Jingye saw Zi Yi’s speechless expression and told her what Ouyang Ming said.
Zi Yi snorted. “Does this man still think that you are the one who killed He Fei’s father and so wants to take revenge for him?”
“No, he’s not that kind of a person.”
Zi Yi thought the same thing.
After they took a stroll for half an hour, the three of them headed to the lab together.
Zi Yi checked the results of Lu Jingye’s work that he had done for the entire afternoon. She was very satisfied with how he was able to complete the refining that was beyond the current technology of this world. “You’ve managed to successfully refine the materials. Right now we only need to synthesize these together to create the s.h.i.+eld.”
Zi Yi moved her hands while she talked. The two brothers each stood on either side of her and listened, while watching her actions carefully.
Around two hours or so later, the three of them came out of the lab.
Lu Jingye asked, “Are you tired? Or are you hungry?”
“I’m not tired.” Zi Yi shook her head and touched her belly. “I feel like eating lychees though.”
“Yunxiao brought back some fruit when he went out in the afternoon and there should be lychees inside too.”
She went to the living room and Lu Jingye grabbed the bag of fruits Lu Yunxiao brought back and placed it on the table.
Zi Yi saw the bag and noticed there were several different types of fruit inside. She then happily dragged the bag nearer and started eating the fruit.
Lu Yunxiao went upstairs for a while, before he then came down and said, “Brother, sister-in-law, I’ll be going out.”
Zi Yi hastily called out to him. “Yunxiao, wait a minute.”
She then took a circular ball from her pocket and pa.s.sed it to him, “Bring this along with you just in case. Also, you should rest at night, or else you won’t have energy tomorrow.”
Lu Yunxiao nodded his head, took the circular ball, and left.
When Zi Yi was eating the fruit, Lu Jingye took the laptop and started reading through some of the company’s doc.u.ments. Zi Yi fed him a lychee and said discontentedly, “Stop working. After I finish another fruit, we’ll go and sleep.”
Lu Jingye had not slept for two days and a night. He still had to head over to Long Aotian’s place tomorrow and Zi Yi was worried that his body could not take it.
Lu Jingye spat the lychee seed in the trash can beside him and said, “I’ll just look at today’s numbers and won’t work any further. After you’re done, we’ll go up and rest.”
Zi Yi was satisfied with his response. She quickly ate a few more fruits before she pulled his hand and went upstairs.
After taking a shower, they lay down on the bed. Lu Jingye touched her belly with his large hands and asked, “How are you feeling?”
For a novice father, he was even more nervous than Zi Yi.
Zi Yi was amused by him. “The embryo has only been forming for a few days and so there won’t be any movement.”
Lu Jingye was still worried. “I took some time to read up on knowledge in this aspect. Every pregnant mother will react differently. If you feel uncomfortable in any way, tell me right away.”
“Got it.” Zi Yi held his neck and wanted to squeeze herself into his embrace.
Lu Jingye was worried that he might squeeze her belly and so, he moved back.
Zi Yi ended up climbing on top of him.
Lu Jingye raised her up and said, “Don’t put pressure on your stomach.”
Zi Yi laughed and said, “I’m not putting any pressure on my stomach.”
Zi Yi explained to him about pregnancy. “The bodies of humans on ancient Earth aren’t that great and so, they will avoid having s*x during the early stages of pregnancy. However, people in the interstellar era don’t have any reservations about this aspect. After the embryo is formed, we will take it out and place it inside a nutrient solution to grow.
Lu Jingye was a little shocked. “Would there be any side effects?”
After all, the knowledge he had always known was that women would carry the baby for nine months in their womb. Lu Jingye could not imagine if it was a good or bad thing to take out the embryo the moment it was formed.
“There are no side effects. As long as the nutrient solution contains all the nutrients that a mother provides to the fetus. Not to mention, the fetus who grows up this way would be better off, compared to if it remained inside the mother’s womb. After all, women will have changes to their body during the pregnancy.”
Lu Jingye was silent for some time as he digested the information. “Let’s take out the embryo when we go back. It’s better for your body this way.”
As long as it was good for her health, anything was ok.
Zi Yi leaned her head on his chest. “I’ve always been curious about how pregnancy feels. I don’t want to take it out right away. Let me experience conceiving a child for a few months.”
Lu Jingye was a little worried. “Would it be easy to take out the fetus when it’s bigger?”
“It’s the same.”
Lu Jingye was at ease.
The two of them discussed where they would keep the fetus when it was taken out.
Zi Yi said, “We’ll put it with our parents. In that case, Mom can see the baby every day.”
Lu Jingye definitely had no opinion and said, “Alright.”
Lu Jingye suddenly thought of something important and asked Zi Yi, “Yiyi, can you figure out which day you got pregnant?”
