The Man Disgusted by Death

One morning, Ji Heng who had just woken up suddenly said, "Xiao Zhao, let's have a baby."

"Huh?" Lu Zhao rubbed his eyes, "What?"

Ji Heng dragged Lu Zhao into his arms and kissed him on the cheek, "Don't you like children?"

Lu Zhao sobered up a little, "I like it."

"Then let's have a baby." Ji Heng looked eagerly.

"Okay." Lu Zhao agreed, and he rested his head on Ji Heng's shoulder, "Should I go to the genetic management department to submit the application first?"

Ji Heng tilted his head and kissed the top of Lu Zhao's hair, "I've taken care of everything."

Lu Zhao raised his head, "When?"

"When we got married."

"That, so early?" It seemed that he really wanted a child, Lu Zhao said, "Then when shall we go to the hospital?"

"today."

It seems that I am really free today, but it was only a minute to decide such a big thing as having a baby. Lu Zhao still felt a little unreal, "Oh, let's go." Lu Zhao got up from Ji Heng, planning to get up , but Ji Heng stretched out his hand and dragged him back.

"No hurry, make some preparations before you go."

"What to prepare?"

"Prepare germ cells."

"Ah?" Lu Zhao was surprised, "Can you prepare this yourself?"

"Of course." Ji Heng was very determined, "I have prepared the freezer as well."

"Then..." Lu Zhao inexplicably felt that this matter was a bit embarrassing, "What should I do?"

"I'll teach you."

After half an hour.

Lu Zhao, whose reproductive cells had been removed, lay limp on the bed. Ji Heng leaned over and kissed Lu Zhao's sweaty back, happily thinking about the future: "Our child must be very cute."

Eddie Warren, the second-level evaluator of the genetic management department, his job is to conduct psychological evaluations on the parents who apply for cloning offspring to make sure that they are ready to upgrade to parents. He has been doing it for more than ten years, so it can be said that he is very familiar with it, but today he is still a little nervous, because the couple he wants to evaluate has a lot of background.

His Royal Highness Prince Ji Heng and his same-sex spouse, Major Lu Zhao, are now the most talked about couple in the empire.

His Royal Highness is 30 years old this year. He has the good looks inherited from the Fan family. He is dressed in the starry sky blue casual uniform of the imperial army. He is tall and imposing. field.

Major Lu Zhao is 27 years old this year. He is a good-looking young man in all aspects. His facial features are clean and fresh, and he has a tall figure. Although he is wearing the same style of military casual clothes as His Royal Highness, his temperament is a little gentler.

Eddie Warren was sitting upright in front of the two applicants, with his knees together under the table, and his hands on the table were a little unnaturally stiff.

"Well, let's get started." Evaluator Warren cleared his throat, "Please allow me to remind you that this conversation is under the monitoring of the brain, of course, after the evaluation results come out, this monitoring will be censored." Completely delete." After the opening remarks, Warren began to ask questions according to the information on the light screen: "Are you two satisfied with your current marriage status?"

Major Lu Zhao: "Satisfied."

His Royal Highness reached out to hold his spouse's hand, "Very satisfied."

Of course, this kind of answer is not surprising, but in order to avoid insincere situations, the intelligent brain will conduct a lie detection on the applicant's reaction, and immediately feed back the results to the light screen in front of the evaluator.

The second question: "May I ask what expectations you two have for your future family life?"

Major Lu Zhao: "It would be nice for the family to live together."

His Royal Highness: "Well, so do I."

The third question: "May I ask what requirements do you two have for the gender of the child?"

Major Lu Zhao was a little dazed, he really hadn't thought about it: "It's okay."

His Royal Highness was categorical: "I want a boy. I want a girl in a few years. My brother can take care of my sister when he grows up."

Major Lu Zhao seemed to think that this made sense, so he nodded: "Okay, I want a boy."

Children born by cloning are completely a process of artificial selection, but the imperial law stipulates that except for defective genes, they must be excluded. The whole process does not allow too much artificial intervention. To be accepted still needs to be judged by the brain.

Evaluator Warren continued to ask: "What special requirements do you two have for the child's genes?"

Major Lu Zhao: "Smart...healthy...and then, nothing."

His Royal Highness: "Look like Lu Zhao."

"Huh?" Major Lu Zhao turned to look at his spouse, "Why do you have to be like me, isn't it good to be like you?"

"You were cuter when you were young." His Royal Highness pulled Major Lu Zhao's hand to his lips and kissed it, then took out a photo from his jacket pocket.

It was a slightly yellowed photo, using a very old chemical imaging technique.

In the photo, a five or six-year-old boy is smiling sweetly at the camera.

Major Lu Zhao was surprised: "Isn't this a photo of me when I was a child? How could you have it?"

"My aunt gave it to me." His Royal Highness replied.

"When?"

"The last time I went home."

"Why don't I know?"

……

"Uh——" Warren the evaluator had to interrupt the conversation between the two couples: "Your Highness, your request needs to be more specific."

"Okay." His Royal Highness put away the photo very preciously, supported Major Lu Zhao's chin with one hand, and stroked the latter's face with the other hand: "The eyebrows should be like this...the eyes should be like this... Nose...mouth...ears...and there must be dimples."

Evaluator Warren felt that his eyes hurt a little, but it was nothing. He showed more affection in front of him, but the status of the pair in front of him was a bit higher. "Alright Your Highness, I understand. The brain will record your request." , and determine the child's genetic sequence through scientific methods." So, don't blame me if the child doesn't look like Major Lu Zhao, the evaluator Warren murmured in his heart.In fact, if the parents' requirements are simple and specific, they are more likely to be satisfied. For example, if they want double eyelids and blue eyes, it is impossible to expect their children to look like one side.

After a series of procedures and waiting, the child finally appeared.

When I first saw him, he was only the size of a fingernail, floating in the artificial amniotic fluid like a pink bean.

Across the glass wall of the artificial womb, Ji Heng and Lu Zhao were a little dumbfounded.

so small.

Although I have basic biological knowledge and I have studied the process of artificial cloning, it is still very shocking to see the child with the genes of the two appearing in front of my eyes so young and weak.

The environment of the artificial womb simulates the human mother, so the cloned fetus has to stay in it until full term before it can come out. The law stipulates that during this period, the parents must visit three times a week for no less than two hours each time.

Both Ji Heng and Lu Zhao took long vacations, so they visit their children in the hospital every day, just like going to work.

Week after week, the beans turned into peanuts, the peanuts turned into grapes, the grapes turned into plums, and the plums turned into tomatoes... The child's limbs gradually became clear, and then facial features, eyebrows and eyes.

"Looks like you." Ji Heng was very pleased.

"Really?" Lu Zhao was a little skeptical, his facial features were so small, he couldn't see them at all.

Although Ji Heng is very sure that the child looks like Lu Zhao, he still often sticks the photo of Lu Zhao on the glass wall, and then says to the melon inside: "Baby, you have to grow up like this, you know?"

Melon twisted around while grabbing the artificial umbilical cord, leaving only one back.

After a long time, the melon turned into kale, the kale became cauliflower, and the cauliflower turned into squash, and the day finally arrived.

The red, wet, and limp newborn baby was hugged in his arms, and His Royal Highness was terrified, "Ah, he's crying!"

"Babies are like this." Lu Zhao felt that Ji Heng was too nervous. He left the warm and comfortable amniotic fluid and came to this strange and dry world. It's no wonder he didn't cry.

Lu Zhao took the child over and participated in the training class on raising newborns. He knows how to comfort the child.

"Xiao Zhao, you are amazing." Ji Heng clicked his tongue in amazement.

When the couple was walking around the child, the hospital staff came to remind the child that it was time to fill in the birth certificate, and then the two realized that they had forgotten a very important thing. , Actually forgot to give the child a name.

"Do you want the child's surname to be Fan or Ji?" Lu Zhao asked.

"The surname Lu is fine." Ji Heng said, "Or the surname Mu."

"If the surname is Mu, it should be from the generation of Ji." Lu Zhao said.

Ji Heng pondered for a moment: "Then call me Mu Jiyuan."

source?Lu Zhao quickly understood, "Okay, let's call it Mu Jiyuan."

***

Although he has high hopes, Mu Jiyuan doesn't look like Lu Zhao. In fact, he is more like the Fan family, but he is still very cute.In terms of personality, this child is neither like Ji Heng nor Lu Zhao. He was very mature when he was four or five years old. He likes to learn, pays attention to logic and order, and he is about to grow into a character like a grown-up.

At a young age, Mu Jiyuan would bring it up when he found something unreasonable in the family.

"Why is there a treatment cabin in the father's room? Could it be that you will be injured while sleeping?" Mu Jiyuan asked, observing carefully.

Papa Lu blushed immediately when he heard the question, then he pursed his lips and squinted at Papa Ji.

Ji's father first smiled at Lu's father, a flattering smile, and then coughed lightly: "This is what I use, sometimes after training, go to the treatment cabin to lie down, and sleep during the treatment."

"Oh, I see." Mu Jiyuan expressed his understanding.

"So you can go to bed now." Ji Heng said.

"Okay, good night, Dad." It's bedtime, Mu Jiyuan doesn't need adults to coax him, he can sleep well by himself.

"Good night," said the two fathers.

Seeing his son turn around and go out, Lu Zhao raised his leg and kicked Ji Heng. Ji Heng didn't say a word when he was attacked, and silently pulled Lu Zhao's hand.

Mu Jiyuan who walked to the door suddenly turned around, "You can't fight!"

By the way, this kid also has a strong sixth sense.

"There was no fight." Lu Zhao squeezed out a smile, and Ji Heng quickly hugged him into his arms, and kissed Lu Zhao loudly, "Yes, there was no fight, we are fine."

Mu Jiyuan nodded, "Be good."

"Well, well." The two fathers assured their children together.

Mu Jiyuan was satisfied.

After confirming that his son had really left, Lu Zhao pushed Ji Heng, trying to push him away.Ji Heng refused to let go, but hugged him a little tighter, "Xiao Zhao, I have an idea, let's have another child, let Xiao Yuan worry about the little sister, okay?"
