InterStellar Dad

Chapter 43: Expectation

Having acquired the correct physiological knowledge, Yan He finally didn’t feel so paranoid, fearing every shadow, and seeing enemies in every corner.

Meanwhile, Jiang Miao was enjoying the convenience of having excellent genetic advantages for her whole life – she didn’t even have to pause her training. And perhaps due to the effect of high gravity, anyway, her long-lost period only visited her for four days before returning home.

“Next…” the two squeezed onto the sofa, studying the instructions together. Jiang Miao read aloud, “Inject ovulation-inducing drugs.”

Although Yan He wouldn’t dare claim to be a period expert, he had already thoroughly researched everything in that small box, immediately pulling out a needle-less syringe in a cylindrical shape.

Jiang Miao rolled up her sleeve, and Yan He administered the injection.

He put the syringe back, “It’s time to make the appointment.”

When injecting ovulation-inducing drugs, an appointment must be made with the hospital for egg retrieval seven days later.

“Okay. I’ll leave it to Xiaona,” Jiang Miao said.

“Why… why are you looking up information on natural insemination?” Dr. Jiang blushed like a sunset cloud.

Major Yan remained impassive, “I didn’t do enough pre-reading, I’ll catch up.”

Xiaona interjected timely, “Major, your package has arrived.”

Jiang Miao asked, “Bought something?”

Yan He told Xiaona, “Just bring it to my room.” Then he changed the subject, addressing Jiang Miao, “Your physical condition has recovered quite well. If you were to return to your birthplace, you could live there comfortably.”

“Oh, really?” Jiang Miao was slightly pleased, flexing her arms to check her muscles, then sighed, “Well, it’s all for the sake of healthy eggs. I reckon I won’t go back to Dufaxing in this lifetime.”

“Don’t you want to visit your mother?” Yan He asked.

This was a topic Jiang Miao wanted to steer away from. Instead of answering, she asked, “Do you still keep in touch with your caretaker?”

Yan He hesitated for a moment and said, “Yes, we have a good relationship. He’s also a military man, so we have a lot in common.”

Their relationship seemed more like friends, which was different from what Jiang Miao had hoped for. She felt a slight disappointment.

Meanwhile, the robot had already delivered the just arrived package to Yan He’s room. However, he paid no attention to it until after dinner when he returned to his room.

After closing and locking the door, he finally opened the package.

It wasn’t large. Upon opening the outer box, there was a cylindrical object inside. If a medical student had seen it, they would recognize it as a special container for preserving live samples or biological preparations.

The timing was just right, Yan He thought.

He had only proposed the arrangement to lift the blockage after checking the package’s logistics information with Jiang Miao.

He opened the calendar and checked the recent schedule. Sperm retrieval, egg retrieval, embryo synthesis, implantation into the artificial womb, and… starting his new job.

Everything was perfectly timed, all within his control.

Jiang Miao had been having recurrent erotic dreams lately, perhaps due to ovulation.

Unable to resist, she searched online and discovered that there were indeed many parenting partners who conceived naturally.

“The logic behind genetic compatibility makes sense. If our genes match, naturally, we match as well. Ah, I just feel so fond of him whenever I see him. Originally, I planned to carry the fetus myself, so why not conceive naturally? Besides, natural conception isn’t something that happens instantly. Hehe, I guess it’s just a matter of trying and trying again.”

As Jiang Miao read the detailed description afterward, she found herself biting her fingers.

When she saw Yan He again during the day, her gaze probably carried a hint of something peculiar, immediately alerting Yan He.

“Are you feeling unwell?” he asked, concerned.

He carefully held her in his arms, treating her as precious.

Jiang Miao recalled those dreams that disturbed her sleep, her heart wavering, her mind clouded by desire. She unexpectedly leaned in and kissed his lips.

A smile flickered in Yan He’s eyes, bewitching like peach blossoms, intoxicating.

It was strange. Now, when Jiang Miao looked at Yan He, she couldn’t find even a trace of the indifference and aloofness he had when he first arrived. It was as if they were completely different people.

Yan He chuckled softly, “Thinking about natural insemination again?”

Jiang Miao: “!!!”

Ah, could this person read minds?

Just as she thought to escape, he grabbed the back of her head, capturing her lips. It wasn’t until Jiang Miao was breathless, nearly losing herself, that he released her.

“I won’t tease you,” he said with a smile, “You’re under the influence of ovulation induction drugs.”

Jiang Miao knew it herself.

Knowing was one thing, controlling oneself was another. She always felt his lips were especially sweet, the intertwining of their tongues making her tremble inside. Yan He was so delicious that sometimes she just wanted to… devour him.

But in the end, reason prevailed.

Every step went smoothly, and ovulation arrived as scheduled. All physiological indicators met the requirements. Jiang Miao and Yan He went to the hospital to retrieve eggs and sperm according to the appointment.

Things had really progressed to this point, and Jiang Miao was nervous, her palms sweaty.

“Don’t be afraid,” Yan He thought she was afraid of the surgery and held her hand to comfort her, “Didn’t you read the information? It’s painless throughout the procedure. You’ll sleep through it, and the internal wounds will be repaired by nanobots.”

Jiang Miao glanced at him sideways.

His hand holding hers was warm and strong, gradually dissipating her nervous feelings, and her heart was filled with anticipation once again.

Yan He was probably the best thing she had encountered in both her past and present lives.

He didn’t have the title of a boyfriend, but he fulfilled all the duties of one, with the tenderness of a boyfriend and the responsibility of one.

He was even willing to carry their child in his belly!

Their child!

Her and Yan He’s child!

Suddenly, Jiang Miao’s heart fluttered. She stood on tiptoe and kissed Yan He.

Yan He thought she was trying to relieve her tension, and he responded gently. He was always capable of comforting a woman.

Jiang Miao was soft in his embrace, as supple as water.

“Yan He, I-I’m about to suffocate!” Jiang Miao’s eyes sparkled with joy. “I’m so happy!”

Yan He smiled, “Oh?”

“Really!” Jiang Miao grabbed his collar, closed her eyes, deeply breathed in, with his scent filling her nostrils.

She opened her eyes, clear and bright, reflecting his image.

“I’ve never been this happy in my life!”

“You and I, our lives are about to merge together and give birth to a new life.”

“He/she will have both our blood flowing through their veins, carrying our DNA. He/she may look like both you and me.”

“Yan He, I want to thank you for appearing in my life, for giving half of yourself for our child. Even if you leave in the future, unable to stay with me and the child. When this child asks about their father, guess what I’ll tell him/her?”

Jiang Miao’s eyes curved like crescent moons, and she joyfully kissed Yan He’s lips again.

“Don’t worry, everything I say will definitely be praising you. I’ll tell our child how handsome, strong, and good-hearted their father is!”

“If he’s a boy, he’ll surely grow up to be just like you, becoming a man just like you.”

“If she’s a girl, she’ll surely dream of you in her heart, growing up and using you as the standard to find a boyfriend.”

“Dr. Jiang,” a nurse approached, “Please come with me.”

“I’m going!” Jiang Miao let go of Yan He and followed the nurse.

After a few steps, she turned back and quickly kissed him.

She said, “Let’s look forward to it together!”

The hospital was bright and clean, with ample light.

Her face was radiant.

She looked forward to every tomorrow, but today’s tomorrow seemed particularly worth looking forward to. She was like a happy little bird because of this anticipation, chirping cheerfully.

But Yan He’s back remained stiff.

He watched her disappear behind a door with the nurse, tiny beads of sweat forming on his forehead.

It took him several seconds before another nurse called out to him, “Major Yan, please follow me.”

He was slow to respond, turning around and following.

The men’s preparation room wasn’t as brightly lit as other areas of the hospital. The room was somewhat dim, with the smart brain providing various sexually stimulating videos as an aid.

Yan He didn’t act immediately as instructed by the nurse.

At this moment, he faced a dilemma.

He reached into the pocket of his clothes and pulled out the cylindrical special container that had been shipped across galaxies.

Pressing the button on the top activated it, and the liquid crystal display on the surface of the container lit up, showing the name “Yan He.”

It should have been a simple matter, shouldn’t it?

This DNA matched with hers. The excellent genes she desired were in this DNA. As long as he gave it to her, everything would be straightforward.

There was no need for hesitation, no need for struggle, no need for decision-making, right?

But Jiang Miao’s radiant face kept flashing before Yan He’s eyes.

【Our lives are merging together.】

【Our child will look like both you and me.】

She was speaking to him, not to anyone else. She wanted him to be the father of her child, not another man.

What she wanted was a child born from him.

Not from anyone else.

Cold sweat broke out on Yan He’s forehead.

He knew that something had gone awry, gone beyond his control. This was very wrong.

When Yan He had mentioned to Jiang Miao that he looked forward to Wednesday, the day of removing the blockage, she had misunderstood. Yan He’s anticipation was about doing these things together with Jiang Miao, not about the event itself.

He had misled her.

Yan He never looked forward to tomorrow. His past experiences had taught him that happiness in life often fleeting, to the point where he dared not hope.

But now…

【Let’s look forward to it together!】

Could they really?
