Mule started to suffer from morning sickness after she finished the second draft of her thesis.
That night, she made the last few changes, confidently clicked upload, and then—she felt her stomach churn.
She turned off her computer, covered her mouth, and rushed into the bathroom.
This reaction scared Gu Mingyuan so much that he followed her closely and stood at the bathroom door thinking about what Mu Le had eaten in the past three days.
I didn't expect anything to happen.
…Unless there was something wrong with the snacks he made himself the day before yesterday.
Because Mu Le loves snacks and cooking, he learned a lot from Kong Hean and would occasionally let Mu Le help in the kitchen to satisfy her cravings.
But I have made snacks before and there was no problem with the process. What's more, I ate it the day before yesterday, so it shouldn't have a reaction only today.
Mu Le vomited for a long time but nothing came out. The little robot rolled to her feet and handed her a wet towel.
Mu Le used it to wipe his mouth, and then gave it back to the little robot.
She stood up and recalled her own menstrual period.
Gu Mingyuan walked to her side at the right time, stroked her back, and whispered: "Are you okay? I'll take you to..."
Mu Le held his arm and looked at him helplessly: "It seems that we really won the prize."
Gu Mingyuan: “…?”
It turns out.
Dragons do not experience morning sickness.
At least Gu Mingyuan didn't have such a thing as morning sickness in his common sense.
When he heard about the messy adverse reactions that humans have in early pregnancy, and the various dangers that may occur during childbirth—
This was the first time that Mu Le saw a rather exaggerated expression on his face.
It could almost be called "horrified".
Mu Le had just finished a high-tech inspection.
Over the years, through the continuous efforts of medical workers such as Yuan Xi, they have roughly figured out some differences between the human body and the orc body.
Fortunately, Mu Le comes for regular physical examinations and all the values are recorded.
Some of her values did change.
The names of these data are slightly different from those on Earth, but their functions are similar, and there are even more types.
Therefore, compared with the usual data, the problem can generally be seen.
Yuan Xi was trying to explain to Gu Mingyuan that the reason why Mu Le wanted to vomit was because several hormone levels in her body had changed during pregnancy.
Gu Mingyuan didn't really want to listen, but he finally listened patiently to the end, and then compared Mu Le's physical data with the previous ones for a while.
While he was studying these things, Mu Le was still sitting on the hospital bed.
Although the doctor and Gu Mingyuan both told her to rest, Mu Le was so excited that she couldn't sleep, so she simply lay on Gu Mingyuan's arm and watched with her.
But the test results are basically all professional terms.
If these nouns were translated into Chinese, Mu Le might not be able to recognize much of them. Let alone interstellar language, Mu Le would have no idea what they meant.
After watching for a while, she felt a little bored and clung to Gu Mingyuan's arm and said, "If we had known that we could win the prize in one try, should we have gotten married earlier?"
When she mentioned "marriage", Gu Mingyuan's ears felt a little hot.
He didn't understand human culture at first, but later Mu Le told him little by little about human life, the culture of their country, marriage and love.
Although all humans belong to the same species, there are great differences in concepts and behaviors between different humans.
Mu Le told him about his attitude towards marriage.
Before she met him, she still had her original fantasies about marriage and love, but she also loved her life very much.
She told Gu Mingyuan that in her mind, marriage is unique love, shared responsibilities and a lifelong commitment.
Mu Le sat obediently beside him as she said these words, her eyes sincere and clear, just as pure as when he first discovered her feelings, overflowing with flawless and sincere emotions.
So when Mu Le talked about the topic of marriage, Mu Le's look at that time would appear in his mind.
And there is that "unique" love.
This is probably the most sincere confession from a human girl like Mu Le.
But no one thought that this day would come so soon, and no one could predict that they would win the prize in one try. Mu Le even told Gu Mingyuan that there was reproductive isolation in the laws of the earth, and she might not be able to conceive.
…
Originally, Mu Le could be considered a little darling held in the dragon's palm.
So now, Mu Le has been upgraded to a little glass candy baby that the dragon holds in his hands for fear of it falling, and holds in his mouth for fear of it melting.
Gu Mingyuan put all his work on hold temporarily and followed Mu Le wholeheartedly.
…but Mueller still had to write his thesis.
She discussed it with Gu Mingyuan. She had a lot of things to do recently and was already too busy. In addition, she was pregnant now and her body could not take it. So, they decided not to talk about marriage for the time being and wait until the child was born.
Mu Le was actually looking forward to the proposal and the wedding.
It is best to propose in private, with some variety and romance. As for the wedding, it is best to hold it twice, one with only some familiar relatives and friends, and the other with only the two of you - this way you can exchange rings and throw away the bouquet, and then wear your wedding dress once.
…It seems that this idea is a bit too radical.
But it was indeed the beautiful picture she had imagined when she was on Earth, doing her job.
Mu Le started laughing when she thought of this, but she would not take the initiative to make a request to Gu Mingyuan.
Firstly, she felt embarrassed, and secondly... Gu Mingyuan had been good enough to her, and she felt that she couldn't be greedy anymore.
Right now, I am already extremely extremely happy.
…
The busy days lasted for several months, and when Mu Le's belly began to show, she had successfully graduated from Capital University.
She didn't continue her doctoral studies because she felt her brain couldn't keep up.
I am already finding it difficult to learn now, and I am afraid I will become bald if I continue studying.
After graduation, Mu Le began to paint at home full-time.
At first, Gu Mingyuan stayed at home with her, but when the two of them sat together every day, Mu Le always had a lot of speeding thoughts in her mind.
She was now completely unguarded against Gu Mingyuan, and often accidentally expressed her thoughts, and even expressed them in actions.
And even if she didn't say it, Gu Mingyuan would instantly understand what she meant when he saw her aroused eyes.
He couldn't help it, and was worried about hurting her.
I can only pick up the work that I had paused before and continue doing it in an attempt to distract myself.
Time flies.
Mu Le rested at home every day. The most strenuous exercise he had done was going shopping and taking a walk hand in hand with Gu Mingyuan. Basically, apart from eating and sleeping, he just drew some comics and read ancient documents to relieve boredom.
When she was about to give birth, she gained a lot of weight.
She is plump to begin with, but she looks slim because of her small frame.
Now that she has a big belly, she looks much rounder and her face is chubby.
However, because I was in a good mood and my endocrine system was relatively stable, my skin condition did not deteriorate.
His already childish facial features looked more and more like a child because of his increasingly round face.
She was close to giving birth, and the hospital set up a special ward for her. Yuan Xi brought professional doctors of various races who were on vacation to work in an office on the same floor, studying and reviewing the human physiological structure every day and being on call at all times.
It was the first time for everyone to deliver a human baby, and even with the highest level of technology, they still felt a little unsure, and everyone was more nervous than the other.
…and there’s a ferocious dragon standing guard.
Mu Le was lying on the hospital bed, stroking her round belly, and talking to the baby in her belly as if talking to herself: "Little boy, you'd better behave yourself and don't scare your dad."
She had just been kicked by the baby in her belly, and she screamed, frightening Gu Mingyuan so much that he almost jumped up from his chair.
Gu Mingyuan lowered his head, leaned close to her belly, and whispered, "Don't bully your mother."
Mu Le: “…”
Maybe because he was too nervous, Gu Mingyuan's expression looked more and more ferocious. The little bookish air he had acquired from his previous scientific research disappeared, and he looked so irritable that he seemed like he would set the hospital on fire at any time.
When Yuan Xi checked her indicators every day, he didn't dare to look at Gu Mingyuan.
Afraid that his hands would tremble with fear and the needle would be poked incorrectly, which would make Gu Mingyuan angry, he was cremated on the spot.
The more nervous everyone was, the more cheerful the atmosphere seemed to Mu Le, and he laughed so hard that his whole body trembled.
Yuan Xi was afraid that she would shake the baby out.
I don’t know whether it’s because the power of technology is too strong or because the group of gynecological experts led by Yuan Xi are too amazing.
Murray's production date was almost the same as the expected date of delivery.
Even whether it is morning or afternoon is calculated correctly.
She was pushed into the delivery room, received some special anesthesia, and then gave birth to the baby smoothly.
The pain was only slightly more severe than her previous periods.
Although the pain from her period was so severe that she was about to faint, it was generally still within an acceptable range and much more comfortable than Mu Le had originally imagined.
On the day the child was born, many people came to guard her.
In addition to Gu Mingyuan who was standing upright outside the ward with a serious expression, there were Kong Hean who had already retired, Gu Mingzhou who had started his doctoral studies, Kong Yu'an who was still studying for a master's degree, and Xiang Fei and Orte who had just entered college not long ago.
The adults were calmer. Xiang Fei sat quietly with a pale face. Only Ort was walking back and forth anxiously, and the little crocodile's tail was almost leaving an afterimage.
Fortunately, the delivery went smoothly and both mother and child are safe.
Because of the effect of the special anesthetic, plus Xiaohao's physical strength... Mu Le fell into a deep sleep after giving birth.
He didn't wake up until the next day.
After waking up, she heard something very... interesting.
Wei Xingchen also came to see her child.
He is currently training in the army and he took leave and rushed back overnight.
After coming back, I thought I would see a newborn human child, so I went to the delivery room to take a look with great anticipation.
