Hearing this, Jiang Ci coughed slightly, feeling embarrassed: "I know that your major is biology and virology, but you should... be good at something else too?"
Lin Konglu stood aside and held his forehead.
Professor Gu said angrily: "I have delivered babies a total of three to five times in my life, and they were all emergencies to save lives."
"Is one of them a man?" Jiang Ci asked immediately.
Professor Gu: "..."
His eyes suddenly lit up and he asked excitedly: "Which of you is pregnant?"
Lin Konglu just wanted to find a crack to get in. Hearing this, he covered his face, pointed at Jiang Ci, and said in a muffled voice: "He."
Jiang Ci coughed lightly and held his finger. Lin Konglu retracted angrily.
Professor Gu looked between them for a while, and his expression quickly became clear.
Ten minutes later, the three of them walked into the ultrasound room, and Lin Konglu fell at the end glumly.
The old professor changed his previous attitude and said lovingly: "Young man, don't be embarrassed. This kind of thing is rare, but I have seen it before, and I am considered an expert in this field. You have found the right person."
Lin Konglu: "..." You just said before that you are not an expert in this field.
"Here, let's do an ultrasound first." Professor Gu said.
Lin Kong said angrily: "No need, I just did it at the Dongcheng base before."
Professor Gu: "Just did it?"
"It's been half a month. Can we do it again?" Jiang Ci glanced at Lin Konglu and said with some worry, "He didn't eat well before and couldn't keep up with his nutrition. He has been tired recently."
Lin Konglu: ...not very tired.
Professor Gu: "B-ultrasound has no effect on the fetus, but it is generally not recommended to do it frequently, but if you want to check it... Well, speaking of it, that girl Xiao Zhao is not as expert in this area as I am."
Jiang Ci couldn't help but bend down to persuade Lin Konglu: "Why don't you check again? You were alone on the mountain before..."
He was a little worried.
Lin Konglu had a sullen face.
Jiang Ci coaxed: "Baby?"
"Shut up." Lin Konglu didn't expect him to shout that, so he interrupted hurriedly.
His cheeks felt hot, and he pursed his lips tightly, pretending to be cold, but in fact his legs were a little weak. Because Jiang Ci shouted into his ear, his voice was low and pleasant.
Damn it, I've obviously heard the other party yell like this before, more than once. Why do my ears feel hot and my legs feel weak this time?
Could it be that he didn't take it seriously because he was shouting while sleepwalking before, but this time he was shouting seriously and blowing hot air in his ear? He...
Lin Konglu's thoughts were confused and he quickly pushed the other person away and walked towards the instrument.
Jiang Ci was pushed back a step, but the corners of his lips raised unconsciously.
If he doesn't shout during the day, then he... might as well shout at night.
After Lin Konglu lay down on the B-ultrasound bed, he soon saw that little life in the image again.
His expression was unconsciously soft, with a hint of curiosity.
Professor Gu was a little excited. He carefully checked and said in a gentle and incredible tone: "The little guy is very healthy. He can already see his hands and feet. Judging from the age, he is smaller than other fetuses. You should pay attention to nutritional intake..."
He looked at the image with a serious expression, not forgetting to care while checking. Suddenly, he didn't know what he saw, and his voice stopped.
"What's wrong?" Lin Konglu asked.
Jiang Ci also stood up and approached.
Professor Gu's expression seemed stiff, but he quickly returned to normal and said, "It's okay, I just had a leg cramp."
After speaking, he looked up at Jiang Ci and said, "Xiao Jiang, right? You go out for a while, I have something to say to the pregnant husband alone."
Jiang Ci paused, glanced at Lin Konglu, and after a moment said, "Then I'll go out first. Call me if you need anything."
Lin Konglu nodded, and after he left, he turned to look at Professor Gu. Remembering that the other person had just called him "pregnant husband," his face couldn't help but get hot, and he whispered, "Just call me Xiaolu."
Professor Gu looked serious. After the door was closed, he said, "Xiaolu, please forgive me, how did you get pregnant with this child?"
Lin Konglu was stunned when he heard this, and then his heart sank a little, and he asked, "What's wrong with the child?"
The old professor waved his hand to signal him to calm down first, and then asked tentatively: "Does the child not have another father?"
Lin Konglu was a little embarrassed. Although he didn't know how Zaizai was conceived, he knew that Zaizai had another father.
The old professor seemed to be afraid that he didn't understand, and quickly explained: "I mean, did you become pregnant without having sex?"
Lin Konglu's face turned red, but thinking that the old professor would ask this, something must be wrong with the child, so he hurriedly said: "Professor, please don't ask these questions yet. What happened to the child?"
Professor Gu sighed, his expression seemed a little solemn, and reassured him: "You should calm down first and don't get excited."
Then he adjusted the angle of the image and said, "There are two small leaves on the top of the child's head, which look like buds."
Lin Konglu was stunned, Xiaoye, how could there be a Xiaoye?
He tried to open his eyes wide and look carefully. Suddenly, he felt that the shape of the leaves was somewhat familiar——
Boom!
It was as if there was thunder in my head.
In a flash, he remembered that Jiang Ci, who had turned into a plant monster in Shen Yao's consciousness before, grew leaves with this shape.
By the way, when he left the Third Hospital, he also picked such a small green leaf on Jiang Ci's head, but Jiang Ci said that such leaves were very common, so he didn't think much about it.
Could it be that that little green leaf was actually grown by Jiang Ci? Not only that, he also passed it on to Zai?
Lin Konglu suddenly panicked. If Jiang Ci can really grow green leaves in reality, then that means...that the other party is a plant monster?
Professor Gu saw that his face was bright and dark, and now turned pale again, so he knew that his thoughts were similar to his own, so he hurriedly said: "Don't be impatient, don't panic, maybe it's not parasitism, but other problems, we'll wait for a while Check again when it's time..."
Lin Konglu shook his head and murmured: "It's not parasitism. I've checked it with reagents before and it's not parasitized."
Professor Gu wants to say that this kind of thing cannot be 100% certain, because the reagents for detecting parasites at the central base have just been developed, and the detection is not comprehensive.
But seeing that his expression was really bad, he didn't say anything.
Lin Konglu quickly regained his composure and turned around to see the worried look on the old professor's face. Instead, he comforted him: "I'm fine, thank you, but the situation is indeed not what you think. The cub is not conceived out of thin air, nor is it parasitic. He has another child." Father, maybe there is something wrong with the examination."
He didn't know what other people's attitude was towards being parasitized. To be on the safe side, he had to dispel Professor Gu's speculation about parasitism.
Professor Gu was stunned when he heard this. He quickly thought of something and asked, "Is it... Xiaojiang's?"
He raised his chin and motioned to the door.
"Uh, yes." Lin Konglu admitted awkwardly.
Professor Gu immediately breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's good, that's good. Let's check again after a while."
It turns out that the pregnancy is sexual, not asexual, maybe it is not parasitic?
*
When he walked out of the ultrasound room, Lin Konglu noticed a layer of cold sweat on his back. He raised his hand to cover his lower abdomen. His mood suddenly became complicated.
When Zhao Xingbai asked him before if he would let go of this Zai Zai, he never thought that this Zai Zai would be like Zhao Xingbai and not human.
If he were not a human being, could he still be born?
But Uncle Zhao can... Well, although Uncle Zhao didn't say it, he could guess that Xingbai and Xingmo were probably born to Uncle Zhao.
Zhao Shusheng is fine, he should... be fine too, right?
Lin Konglu felt suddenly uneasy and a little confused.
Jiang Ci walked over quickly and saw that he looked wrong. His heart suddenly sank and asked, "What's wrong? Is there something wrong with Zaizai? Or is he feeling unwell?"
Lin Konglu looked up at him, his beautiful eyes covered with mist, and he suddenly felt a little aggrieved.
"It's all your fault." He stepped on Jiang Ci bitterly, and his temper was inexplicable.
He didn't step hard, so Jiang Ci didn't feel any pain. Instead, he felt more worried. He supported his still thin waist, bent down and whispered, "Well, it's my fault."
Then he asked, "Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"
"It's nothing." Lin Konglu was almost pulled into his arms. He made an excuse and said in a low voice, "I just want to eat fruit suddenly."
He sniffed, feeling that his anger seemed to go away just as quickly as it came. Could it be that he was in a state of moodiness due to the influence of having a baby?
But it’s not his fault, it’s the person who allowed him to conceive the baby? What he was getting pregnant with was not a normal baby.
Thinking of this, he turned to look at Jiang Ci again, and suddenly felt that one step was not too much, and he should step on it twice.
Jiang Ci lowered his head and looked at his angry expression. He suddenly felt that the little beauty was inexplicably a bit... delicate today, like a cat with hairy hair. He couldn't help but want to hold her in his arms and caress her fur.
His eyes dimmed and he whispered, "Okay, let's go out to buy fruit."
After saying that, he let go of Lin Konglu, held hands instead, and walked out together.
Professor Gu originally came out with Lin Konglu, but when he saw the young couple being annoyed, he returned to the ultrasound room and was too embarrassed to disturb them.
But he didn't expect that after the two of them got tired of it, they left him alone and left.
"Hey, wait, you won't take me out with you?" the old professor asked.
Did you say you were here to save him?
Jiang Ci coughed lightly, turned around and said, "Professor, didn't I just say that you stay here and concentrate on research."
As he spoke, he signaled with his eyes that Bi Kun was not far away.
Professor Gu remembered that Jiang Ci had said before that rescuing him had to be carried out according to plan, but that was all he said. He did not say what the specific plan was or when he would be rescued.
He suspected that the other party came to him to help check the child.
But forget it, he believed that the other party would not lie to him, and besides, as an old man, he really didn't want to get involved in the couple's shopping.
So he waved his hand and said, "Okay, go ahead and come and see more when you have time."
The implication is, don’t forget to save me.
Jiang Ci nodded: "Okay, I won't forget it."
After saying that, he turned around and pulled Lin Konglu and continued to walk out.
Seeing this, Bi Kun quickly followed and asked, "Where do you two want to go next?"
"Is there a place that sells fruit at the base?" Jiang Ci asked.
Bi Kun hurriedly said: "Yes."
Then take the two of them to the trading market.
It is said to be a market, but in fact there are not many goods, and the main thing is to exchange things for things. After the end of the world, except for a few large bases under the jurisdiction of the central base, all currencies have been abandoned.
As soon as Lin Konglu and Jiang Ci entered the market, they saw several people bullying an old man.
"Fuck, old man, you still dare to come? Your son has turned into a monster. Are you afraid of infecting everyone when you come here?"
"Get him out quickly. What if he becomes parasitized and infects us again?"
"Why doesn't the base get rid of all these people?"
"The one who turned into a monster was his son. His son has been kicked out, so there should be no problem, right?"
"That's what I say, but who knows if he is infected?"
"My son has been driven away, but he still stays at the base?"
"If my son turns into a monster, I will definitely leave the base with my son so as not to cause trouble to everyone."
This sentence seemed to touch the old man, and he suddenly started to tremble violently.
When the onlookers saw this, they immediately dispersed. The person who hit him was also frightened and backed away repeatedly, his voice trembling: "He, is he parasitized?"
Lin Konglu frowned slightly.
Bi Kun saw this and stepped forward: "What are you doing?"
