I have no pheromones, you smelled wrong

Lin Xu felt that Heinrich was more nervous than himself, and his back was tense.

Lin Xu put the gift box in Heinrich's hand to divert his attention, don't be so afraid.

Lin Xu didn't want to continue to scare Heinrich, nor was he ready to expose Guy's clumsy cover-up: "It's very cute, I'll give Xiaoheixiaobai a try."

"Okay, okay..." Guy touched his nose and leaned against Arancio's arm.

Arancio: "We won't bother you any more, let's take our leave first."

"Okay," Heinrich's reply sounded like he was in a normal business-like state, "Please pay attention to flight safety."

After the two space shuttles and one mech left the influence range of the S297 force field, Heinrich needed to go to the bridge console to adjust the operating parameters of the starship. Pass Heinrich, let him think for a while and organize his words.

However, until Lin Xu had already emptied three magazines in the shooting range, Heinrich had no intention of coming to him for a chat.

He put down the machine gun, went to the sink to wash off the smell of gunpowder left on the skin of his palms, and asked, "297, where is Marshal Chu on the starship?"

"The marshal returned to the bedroom 3 minutes ago."

Lin Xu slowly dried the drops of water on his hands, and walked to the bedroom.

After the four of Guy left, Lin Xu and Heinrich were the only two left on the starship. The silver-gray corridor was empty and cold, and the air circulation system was running smoothly. Except for the air exchange vent, there was no air flow in the room.

Everything was very quiet, except for the small hum of the mechanical parts of the starship, but as soon as Lin Xugang opened the bedroom door, a shrill scream broke all the tranquility.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa!!!"

Lin Xu was startled, and quickly rushed into the room, only to see Xiaobai being put on his clothes by Heinrich on his knees, miserable and distressed, with blue eyes like glass beads looking at Lin Xu for help: "Hey Huh..."

At Heinrich's feet, Xiao Hei has been put on a bright green dress, which is split up and down, and the opening on the trousers can just expose the short tail of the rabbit and cat. At this moment, Xiao Hei's Both the short tail and the long ears drooped limply, looking unlovely.

Xiaobai was still struggling with Heinrich's claws, but four claws were no match for two hands. Heinrich successfully stuffed the cat's paw into the sleeve of his clothes, straightened the folds again, and let Xiaobai go.

Xiaobai immediately jumped off Heinrich's knee, but its walking became staggered, the whole cat was sealed by the clothes, and finally collapsed on the ground like Xiaohei, weeping in a low voice in resignation.

"You are..."

"Try them the gift from Arancio." Heinrich looked at Lin Xu righteously, saying that he was just doing what Lin Xu said to Arancio before, and did nothing to make the two rabbits and cats Consciousness of the culprit incapacitated.

Lin Xu blinked, looked at Heinrich, then at the two rabbits and cats lying on the ground, sighed, walked over to pick up the rabbits and cats, and then sat on the edge of the bed beside Heinrich.

The two pitiful little things rolled and rubbed wildly in the palms of Lin Xu's hands, and pressed their heads against Lin Xu's lower abdomen, crying and licking Lin Xu's fingers and palms to express their panic.

Lin Xu thought it was a bit funny, but he didn't expect to have to start this topic by himself in the end.

"Heinrich."

"Ok?"

"Did you and Guy think I was pregnant?"

"I..." Heinrich looked into Lin Xuwu's gray eyes, his voice dragged on for a few seconds, his Adam's apple rolled up and down, "Yes, Guy thinks you have signs of pregnancy, he told me."

"Why didn't you ask me?"

"I know what your answer will be."

Lin Xu didn't expect Heinrich to answer like this. He poked Heinrich's cheek with his finger. Although he looked cold and serious, the masseter muscle was always soft and elastic when poked.

"Tell me."

"You don't think there will be."

Lin Xu's fingers stopped.

Heinrich was right. He didn’t think he would get pregnant. During the previous voyage to the ancient earth, his reaction to false pregnancy was too severe. It is undeniable, but now, nothing happened to him.

"There can never be."

"What if?"

"What if..." Lin Xu smiled, and began to pinch Heinrich's face, "Heinrich, do you want a child?"

"No, I didn't," Heinrich's face flashed a moment of absent-mindedness and panic. As soon as the words came out of his mouth, he felt that he was really not good at expressing himself, so he changed his words and added, "It's not... no, I mean... I I haven't thought about it, I know...you haven't thought about it either."

Otherwise, no two people would have ignored Zhou Pingbo's earnest teaching about safety measures.

"I thought about it once," Lin Xu withdrew his hand, and began to remove the restraints from the clothes of the two rabbits and cats. Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai were so moved that they were about to cry.

"yes……"

Lin Xu went on to say: "It was when I was at the base. At that time, I was about to undergo genetic modification. The chief physician gave me a letter of commitment and asked me to sign it. The general content was to voluntarily give up the right to breed offspring to prevent the human gene pool from being artificially modified. I am not the first genetically modified subject, those before me have also signed, and, at the very beginning, with my consent, the laboratory confirmed the use of this commitment.

"Some people think this is inhumane, unreasonable, and hinders the possibility of human evolution, but comparing the various consequences, I think this letter of commitment is very necessary, so I thought about it once, about whether I will have a body that carries my blood. child's problem.

"In the end I signed the pledge."

Heinrich reached out and tapped Xiao Hei's forehead, and the vengeful Tutumao raised his head and bit his fingertips. The slight pain made Heinrich frowned slightly.

"If you really have a child this time, will you keep him?"

Lin Xu thought for a while, pinched Xiao Hei's chin, and let him spit out Heinrich's fingers, "The base has been destroyed, and the promise has long lost its legal force. In the interstellar age, human genes have mutated. After a few rounds, I feel that humans are used to it. If there is a child, let’s stay, but it must be there.”

Lin Xu still couldn't believe that she was pregnant with another egg.

Heinrich was silent for a moment, and then heard Lin Xu say: "Are you so curious? Then let's go for an examination and we will have an answer soon."

Lin Xu felt that only the facts in black and white could dispel Heinrich's suspicion.

There is no doctor on S297, and the development level of the human-inhabited planet closest to her current location is worrying, and the medical technology is not flattering.

However, there is a medical room on the ship, which houses the medical cabin and intelligent medical testing equipment.

Heinrich and Lin Xu followed the AI's instructions and turned on the intelligent detection equipment.

This is a military medical product, and there is no shortcut button for reproductive testing on the initial interface. The AI ​​guides the two to enter the basic programming page, and finds out the dust-covered reproductive testing mode.

It first drew three tubes of blood for Lin Xu for testing, then let Lin Xu lie down in the testing cabin, and the green and red special rays swept across Lin Xu's abdomen.

The machine was running, and Lin Xu insisted that he was not pregnant, but at this moment he couldn't help being nervous and subconsciously controlled his breathing.

Heinrich looked at the constantly beating values ​​on the light screen, waiting for the artificial intelligence to integrate the detection data and give an answer.

He recalled the faint heartbeat he heard on the bridge before...

"The test is complete, please take a break." The robot voice sounded, Lin Xu rolled over from the test cabin and walked to Heinrich's side, and the two stared at the light screen together.

After a few tens of seconds, the results were loaded. "The scan image shows that there is no sign of embryo pregnancy."

Lin Xu exhaled and touched Heinrich's arm.

Just as Heinrich was about to say something, he suddenly heard the result report from the blood test, "The components of the blood test show that the hormones are abnormally elevated, and there may be embryo implantation."

Lin Xu and Heinrich: "?"

Immediately afterwards, the detection cabin continued to spit out results and suggestions, "A shadow was detected in the lower abdomen, and it is suspected that there is a tumor in the body. Please contact a professional doctor for investigation as soon as possible."

Heinrich: "?!"

Lin Xu frowned, and suddenly thought of a possibility. He stepped forward and called up the final scan drawn by the testing cabin. On the video, there was indeed a shadow on the abdomen of the human body. It looked quite large, oval, like...

an egg.

The egg tested by Zhou Pingbo himself last time was also impenetrable to the detection rays, and it blocked all prying eyes from the eggshell.

Heinrich also realized this, Lin Xu really had an egg in his stomach.

"Heinrich..." Lin Xu's voice trembled for the first time, "Do you think this is the same unfertilized|fertilized egg as last time, or...is it really alive?"

"What do you want?"

Lin Xu looked at Heinrich: "Can this be determined by my hope?"

No.

Heinrich saw Lin Xu's eyelashes trembling slightly, and the fine shadows fell on the misty gray eyes, and he couldn't tell if it was expectation or bewilderment.

He pursed his lips and said, "When I was leaning against you, I heard my heartbeat."

"really?"

It seems that there is no way to prove it to Lin Xu. Heinrich was thinking, and a little inspiration rushed into his mind: "I remember that there is a stethoscope-like structure in this machine, which can be disassembled and used."

Nice way, simple and effective.

Lin Xu and Heinrich immediately reached an agreement, called up the disassembly diagram of the machine structure, brought in a box of tools, and started dismantling the medical equipment.

AI297 repeatedly warned on the radio not to disassemble professional equipment by yourself, but no one at the scene listened.

An hour later, the testing machine was completely disassembled, and Heinrich found a part in the machine that was very similar to a stethoscope and had similar functions, except that it did not have two sound receiving ports for in-ears, so it could only be listened to with one ear. .

AI297's warnings died down.

Lin Xu sat in the pile of machine parts, panting slightly, unbuttoned it, and let Heinrich stick the end of the stethoscope on his lower abdomen.

He was actually a little skeptical.

Could it be that the only thing that can be heard is his breathing and the voluntary movement of his organs.

After all, there is still a layer of eggshell, can you really hear the heartbeat?

One end of the stethoscope is made of metal, which feels cold to the touch, and Lin Xu couldn't help shrinking his shoulders.

Heinrich raised his hand to hold him down, telling him not to move.

Heinrich frowned, with a serious expression on his face. After a while, without saying a word, he handed the stethoscope to Lin Xu.

He heard it.

Lin Xu took it slowly, and at the moment he confirmed it, there was a nervous feeling of being close to home.

Hold the stethoscope up to your ear.

Boom, boom, boom...

He heard it too.
