"Ah? Really? That's great, I hope it can understand and cause less trouble in the future." Xia Chujian looked at Ning Sa with sympathy.
After a while, she asked Xia Yuanfang, "Aunt, why is it so hard? Why does Ms. Ning still want to give birth to this child?"
Xia Yuanfang said earnestly, "Chujian, you are still young, only eighteen years old. You can't yet understand the reproductive needs controlled by genes when a woman reaches a certain age."
Xia Chujian was surprised, "Reproductive needs controlled by genes?"
"Yes, in fact, whether it's humans, humanoids, or animals, both females and males have this reproductive need controlled by genes."
"This is an explanation from a purely genetic perspective." Xia Yuanfang continued, "However, some women can overcome this instinctive impulse and insist on not having children."
"However, most women still want to have their own child, regardless of whether they have a husband or not. Childbirth and marriage are two different things."
Xia Chujian seemed to understand, "So Ms. Ning wants this child because she wants this child, not because she particularly loves the child's father, so she wants to have a child for him?"
Xia Yuanfang glared at her, "Read less of those trashy, melodramatic online novels in the future! If a woman wants to have a child, it's best because she wants to have one herself! Not to have one for someone else, understand?"
Xia Chujian quickly said, "Understood! Anyway, I don't want to have children, no matter who asks me to have one, I won't!"
Then, looking at Xia Yuanfang's expression, she quickly added in a flattering tone, "Of course, if Aunt asks me to have one, I will reluctantly have one."
Xia Yuanfang: "..."
This brat, is this the kind of thing you joke about?
Xia Yuanfang directly shooed her out, "Go, go, go, don't you have online classes today? Go to the study next door and study hard."
Xia Chujian said, "There's still half an hour before the first online class, now is self-study time."
"Then do a set of test papers, I put them on the table over there." Xia Yuanfang waved her hand, driving Xia Chujian out of the laboratory-cum-sickroom.
After Xia Chujian went out, Xia Yuanfang calmed down and carefully checked the various data recorded in the instrument.
This was her first attempt to use her previous knowledge and experience to treat the humanoids of this world.
Back then, she was a genius girl, and the major she chose was the most cutting-edge biological gene technology at that time.
The country's accumulation allowed her to stand on the shoulders of giants and climb to higher peaks...
Now, she was just pushing forward something she had experimented with in the past.
Xia Yuanfang had never thought that she could continue her research here.
For the past eighteen years, although she had been in the research field, she had never had the opportunity to continue her specialty.
Because the laws of this country prohibit any form of Gene Evolution research, only gene detection is allowed.
Of course, she had not been idle for the past eighteen years, and had been working hard to absorb new knowledge here, broadening her horizons and fields.
This time, it should be time for her to achieve success.
Xia Yuanfang looked at the data appearing on the ultra-high-definition display screen and smiled slightly.
It was exactly the same as her expectations.
Ning Sa groaned and slowly opened her eyes.
"Doctor Xia?" She touched her stomach, surprised and delighted, "It doesn't hurt anymore, it doesn't hurt at all..."
As soon as she finished speaking, she suddenly cried out again, her forehead covered in cold sweat.
From the three-dimensional color ultrasound display, Xia Yuanfang saw the horned little leopard in Ning Sa's belly, stretching its limbs and raising its head.
The small pointed horn on its head once again bumped into the placenta.
Xia Yuanfang said calmly, "The medicine is working, I'll give you another shot of anesthetic and let you sleep for a day."
After speaking, she said regretfully, "I should have prepared a Medical Cabin, so you can stay in it for a few days, and you won't be so painful."
Ning Sa said laboriously, "As long as the child can have a human form, I don't care what happens to me..."
Seeing her pale face, Xia Yuanfang sighed and gave her another shot of anesthetic.
She had originally planned to give Ning Sa the first round of medicine this week, and then give her the second dose when she was about to give birth. But she didn't expect that because of the lightning strike, the child in Ning Sa's belly was startled and wanted to come out early, so she increased the dosage and used the two doses at once.
The mother and fetus were subjected to twice the amount of medicine, which was not good for either of them.
She couldn't leave here for the next twenty-four hours.
Xia Yuanfang looked out the window. The heavy rain was so dense it was like a curtain covering the sky.
The sky was dim, and thunder and lightning flashed from time to time.
In this kind of weather, she wasn't too comfortable with Xia Chujian driving the Flying Vehicle back by herself...
But fortunately, after she started working these past few months, she had stocked up on some food in the refrigerator here, which she could heat up with a small electric stove.
Having made up her mind, she went to the room where Xia Chujian was and knocked on the door.
Xia Chujian hadn't closed the door, and Xia Yuanfang's knock was just a reminder.
Xia Chujian had only finished half of her test paper. She turned her head and saw Xia Yuanfang standing at the door, and quickly said, "Aunt, is there something you need?"
Xia Yuanfang said, "Ms. Ning's situation is quite complicated. I have to observe her for twenty-four hours, so I can't go home today."
Xia Chujian quickly said, "I can go back and bring Aunt food!"
Xia Yuanfang shook her head, "The weather outside is very bad, so don't go back. I'm worried about you driving the Flying Vehicle alone. I have some food here, so it's no problem for us aunt and niece to stay here for a day and a night."
Xia Chujian poked her head out to look at the heavy rain outside and agreed, "The rain is too heavy, and there's thunder and lightning, so it's really not good to drive the Flying Vehicle. Okay, I'll stay here with Aunt for one night. Is Ms. Ning okay?"
"She should be fine, but since it happened suddenly, I gave her and the fetus a double dose of medicine, so of course it will be more difficult for her," Xia Yuanfang said calmly, then asked her, "Is there anything you don't understand in the test paper? I can explain it to you."
Xia Chujian said, "Don't you need to watch Ms. Ning?"
"There are instruments monitoring her. If the data is abnormal, the instruments will sound an alarm," Xia Yuanfang walked to her side and sat down, discovering that she was indeed doing a physics test paper.
"Come, let me explain this question to you..."
Xia Chujian quickly sat down obediently and listened to Xia Yuanfang explain the physics problem.
For some reason, the physics that she had never understood in school, she seemed to slowly understand with Xia Yuanfang's simple explanations and the addition of various interesting physical phenomena. She could even infer other things from one instance...
She didn't even need to memorize the physics textbook to solve so many problems! The more she learned, the happier she became. She didn't even notice when Xia Yuanfang left, and enthusiastically did two more sets of physics test papers.
It was only when Xia Yuanfang was grading her test papers that Xia Chujian realized she was hungry.
Looking at the time, it was already one o'clock in the afternoon.
Xia Yuanfang said, "Are you hungry? There are a few buns I made in the refrigerator over there. Heat them up with the electric stove."
Xia Chujian said, "I really am hungry. Have you eaten, Aunt?"
"I've eaten. I had a steamed roll just now. Do you want a steamed roll?"
"...I'll have a bun, I like to eat meat." Xia Chujian ran out with a smile, going to heat up her bun.
Xia Yuanfang's steamed rolls had a little Mandala Scallion in them, making them particularly salty and fragrant.
Xia Chujian usually liked to eat them too, but just eating steamed rolls wasn't filling enough. She needed to eat meat to have energy.
After the buns were heated, Xia Chujian ate three in one go before she felt less hungry.
She still wanted to eat more, but there were no more buns in the refrigerator.
There were still two steamed rolls left, which Aunt was probably going to eat for dinner.
Xia Chujian stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window in the living room, looking at the vast rain, and remembered that there were several restaurants not far from here.
She and Ping Qiong had once gone to a small restaurant that made Yangchun Noodles.
It was there that she first encountered Wu Fu, who was eagerly watching them eat at the door...
She suddenly wanted to see if that Yangchun Noodles restaurant was still there.
If it was still there, she wouldn't have to worry about dinner today, or breakfast and lunch tomorrow! Xia Chujian put on her raincoat and said to Xia Yuanfang, "Aunt, I'm going out for a bit, I'll be right back!"
Xia Yuanfang was checking the newly released data and didn't react for a moment.
By the time she came back to her senses, Xia Chujian had already gone out.
She chased to the door of the studio and called out, "Where are you going?"
Xia Chujian turned her head and waved her hand, "I'm just going to the Plaza Garden not far ahead. I remember there are a few restaurants there..."
Xia Yuanfang quickly said, "It's raining so hard, they might not be open!"
"It's okay, I'll just go take a look! Don't worry, Aunt!" Xia Chujian smiled and ran into the elevator, quickly going downstairs.
Being so close, there was no need to drive a Flying Vehicle.
In fact, with such terrible weather, running was safer than taking a Flying Vehicle.
Walking out of the building, even though it was pouring rain outside, she took a deep breath and felt that her vision was much broader.
Wearing a raincoat, she walked down the steps. A Big Black Dog, which had been huddled at the entrance to shelter from the rain, immediately darted into the lobby.
Xia Chujian pretended not to see it and walked into the heavy rain.
She remembered that the restaurants were not far east of the building. Turning left from the building entrance, it would take about five minutes to get there.
However, because of the heavy rain, it took her more than ten minutes to reach the place.
Surprisingly, they were all still open for business and had not closed due to the rain.
Xia Chujian walked into the restaurant where she had eaten Yangchun Noodles last time and found that there were no other customers inside. Only the restaurant owner was sitting behind the counter, dozing off.
Xia Chujian coughed and said, "Boss, can I have two bowls of Yangchun Noodles? Add two eggs, and ten baked pancakes to go."
The owner opened his eyes, saw it was a young girl, and hurriedly said, "It's raining so hard outside, why don't you eat here before you leave?"
Xia Chujian said, "I'm in that business building nearby. I need to buy food for my colleagues."
"Working in such heavy rain? Your boss is really heartless..." The restaurant owner shook his head and went to the back to cook noodles for her.
Ten minutes later, two steaming bowls of Yangchun Noodles with eggs were ready and placed in takeaway food boxes.
Ten palm-sized baked pancakes were also packed into a food box.
Xia Chujian paid the money and walked back with enough food for two meals.
The rain was still very heavy, and it took her ten minutes to walk back.
Arriving near the building, she noticed a car parked at the entrance, a very luxurious retro-style self-driving sedan.
