Chapter 3 [3]
【three】
With the progress of social civilization, the physical fitness of human beings has been continuously enhanced, and the average life expectancy has also been greatly increased.However, what followed was the over-opening of sexual concepts and the slow degradation of natural fertility—most people are unwilling to give up their squandered youth for an embryo, and quite a few people are unwilling to bear the hardships of pregnancy and childbirth. Pain.Until now, only about 10% of heterosexual married families were able to have babies through natural conception.For this reason, the technology of artificially cultivating human embryos that solves the problem of reproduction and saves all mankind is called the greatest invention of the last century.However, its main inventor, Dr. Schmel, once said: "The most precious resource for human beings is the body endowed by nature, and even the perfect incubator cannot completely simulate the complex and changeable natural mother's internal environment. The birth of babies is not only It's the temperature, the humidity, the nutrients... and the amazing love from the mother's womb."
Because of this sentence, although artificial womb implantation technology has been gradually eliminated by artificial embryo cultivation technology, there are still quite a few male-female families who choose this method to give birth to children belonging to two people-in order to grow up with the pregnant baby, To feel the love that is finally fulfilled after all the hardships.
So Qiao Ying thought silently, maybe the low birth rate is the ultimate reason why the government opposes or even indirectly prevents divorce... right?
It seemed that this marriage would be inseparable for a while, Qiao Ying followed Fu Yunze back depressed, and received a communication from Wen Chen on the way: "Qiao Ying, are you still in the capital?"
Qiao Ying responded inexplicably, and Wen Chen obviously breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good—listen, don't come back, just stay in the imperial capital to ensure your own safety, understand?"
He doesn't understand at all!Qiao Ying frowned: "Brother Wen, what happened?"
Wen Chen said: "It's not sure yet, but it may be dangerous, and there are many things that are wrong... In short, you are obedient, I have to deal with some things here, and I will bring Xiaoyi to you in two days."
His tone was so strong that he could not refuse, so Qiao Ying could only nod in agreement; Fu Yunze had been listening for a long time, and when Qiao Ying hung up the communication, he picked up his communicator and sent a few text messages, and he received a reply 10 minutes later. Turning to look at Qiao Ying: "There is a star thief's ship that landed on Aquamarine's γ satellite, it may be a spy."
Qiao Ying was startled: "Which group of star thieves are they?"
"Fighting."
Qiao Ying was terrified when he heard this.This is the oldest and most vicious gang of bandits in the universe. They will plunder the planets they conquered and destroy them with biological and chemical weapons, leaving no one alive, regardless of humans, animals, vegetation.Qiao Ying clearly remembers that 19 years ago, the Amman Empire in the Ta Galaxy was careless, and lost an extremely prosperous and rich planet and countless citizens, including the third in line to the throne. The heir is Prince Ansar.
Seeing his pale face, Fu Yunze frowned for a moment, and said: "Don't worry, Aquamarine will be fine, this time I will go to the front to join the battle."
Qiao Ying stared at him dumbfounded, he was going to fight? ! ——How can he rest assured!
However, Fu Yunze obviously failed to understand Qiao Ying's meaning correctly, because he asked: "That Wen Chen, is your current lover?"
"Ok?"
"It's not as honest and simple as you said to be able to get the news so quickly." Fu Yunze glanced at Qiao Ying, who forced himself to say: "As a professor who studies military strategy, he has his own The source of the news is not surprising, but I don't know exactly how."
Fu Yunze's face remained unchanged, and he said calmly: "You should stay at home during this time, don't go out."
Qiao Ying knew that what he said was right, even the imperial palace might not be safer than Fu Yunze's General's Mansion.But somehow, he blurted out and asked, "Then which room do I live in?"
Fu Yunze paused for a moment, then replied with a tone of reluctance: "My original room has already been packed for you."
"..." Qiao Ying looked at his handsome profile, and suddenly wanted to find out the truth—why did she switch rooms with him? ! !
However, he still didn't ask.
In the following time, Qiao Ying listened to the songs and was about to fall asleep. When he was about to reach the destination, he yawned and glanced at Fu Yunze inadvertently, only to find that the other party's brows were tightly wrinkled, his breathing was short of breath, the roots of his ears were red and red, and his forehead was already bulging. Fine beads of sweat.Qiao Ying was startled, and stretched out her hand to check, the temperature was so hot that people panicked.
——Fu Yunze has a fever again!
Qiao Ying glanced at the positioning system on the aircraft, and decisively took out the communicator to call Fu Yunxi, but before he dialed, the other party had already called in.Qiao Ying quickly connected the call: "Yun Xi, your brother has a fever again—what?!"
Fu Yunxi repeated what he said just now in an anxious voice: "Brother is infected with a mutated thanatus virus!"
thanatus.
grim Reaper.
——For a moment, Qiao Ying's mind went blank.
------------
thanatus, a virus known for its horror, is not difficult to cure, but it produces completely different clinical reactions in different individuals and in different periods.
thanatus will not directly cause death, but its cause, pathology and transmission route cannot be detected, so it cannot be cured.There are not many people who are cured, but there are not many who do not leave any sequelae.For those who have not been cured, the current level of medical treatment can do nothing for their condition.Some people can't bear the torment of mental and illness and choose to kill themselves, while some people die in pain. The rest of the people may not be seriously ill, or they are extremely determined, with a latent virus , living day by day and year by year.
Qiao Ying looked at Fu Yunze, who had sculpted brows and firm lips, on the hospital bed, and couldn't believe that he would suffer from this strange virus in the next few years or even decades... The best doctors in the entire imperial capital are all outside Busy about his illness, but this man fell into a deep sleep, ignorant of the outside world.
Qiao Ying's eyes couldn't help getting wet. He held Fu Yunze's thick, rough and callused palm, and buried his face deeply in it.
Fu Yunxi is about to graduate and join the army to work hard, and there is no other family member he can trust, so he chooses to stay at this time and take care of Fu Yunze - no matter how hard he pushes himself, he will not leave easily.
Fu Yunze slept for three full days and three nights.His real condition was kept a secret, and he only said that he was attacked and slightly injured. Before he woke up, Fu Yunxi and Qiao Ying were taking care of all the affairs outside.One is Fu Yunze's most valued younger brother, and the other is his justifiable spouse—not to mention Qiao Ying's father, who was once the chairman of the Senate of the Empire.Although the old man is out now, the contacts and power in his hands should not be underestimated - as the only heir, behind Qiao Ying, there is the entire Qiao family supporting him.
During these three extremely busy days, Qiao Ying only had one short phone call with her father.The father who once covered the clouds with his hands and rained his hands put down his majestic airs, and asked him like all loving fathers in the world: "I have been away for three years, do you feel happy?"
Qiao Ying replied with a smile: "Very happy." But that is not happiness.
Father Qiao sighed: "I thought you jumped out of this pit, but now, you are going to plunge in without hesitation."
Qiao Ying opened her lips, and answered softly after a long while, "I can't...I can't ignore him."
"Not divorced?"
Qiao Ying shook her head and said blankly: "As partners, we probably can't live together...I just take care of his illness, I don't want to think about anything else."
Father Qiao sighed, and swallowed back what he wanted to tell his son, and decided not to say more for now.
But two days later, Fu Yunxi suddenly raised the question: "Brother Ying, there is no need for you to wrong yourself like this. I know how you treated my brother in the past, and how he treated you. In the final analysis... let you Our family is willing to compromise, and my brother himself said that he is not worthy."
Qiao Ying was really surprised when she heard the words, and then she showed her face: "There is nothing worthy or unworthy. In the past, I was willing to do it myself. Now...it's all in the past."
Fu Yunxi quickly took over the conversation: "So now I don't want to, so I want a divorce?"
"..." I always feel like I've been clichéd inadvertently?Qiao Ying 囧囧 had a good spirit, and answered self-deceivingly: "Also... no, I am willing to let me take care of him, after all, it's been so many years... It's just that we can't live together, it's still the same as before. Isn't it good to be friends and buddies like that?"
Fu Yunxi silently thought that my brother wouldn't feel good, right? She continued to say to her sister-in-law: "Well, it's not bad. I heard that Brother Ying's current boyfriend is completely different from my brother. He is gentle and considerate. It should be very suitable for living, right?"
Qiao Ying nodded: "It's quite homely, it cooks delicious food, and it also takes care of children." Thinking of the chubby and cute Wen Xiaoyi, the corners of his mouth couldn't help evoking a ecstatic smile, and his whole body went up and down in an instant. The glory of the father shines everywhere—Fu Yunxi clutches the dog with tears streaming down her face: My brother who has always been invincible loses this time!Lost badly!Lose!Not to mention cooking, he doesn't even know whether to put the vegetables or the oil first when cooking, right?Not to mention that the opponent's family still has a baby with a big cheater!
Lying on the hospital bed, Fu Yunze's eyelids moved, and his consciousness that had not been awake for a long time was slowly sorting out what he had just heard, and his heart felt sad.
