After the frail beauty went to the countryside, she went crazy with scientific research.

Chapter 449, Episode 0493: The Right Time, The Right Person

Unlike some babies who are born looking like monkeys, this little baby has red lips, fair skin, and long eyelashes that could swing on a swing in its tightly closed eyes.

It seemed to be dreaming of something delicious; it smacked its lips, stuck out its little tongue, and even blew out a bubble—so adorable!
Whose child is this?
Oh, it's mine!
My wife is amazing!

He had already mentally scrolled through tens of thousands of words of cheesy praise, but his body seemed to be disconnected from his brain, showing no reaction whatsoever. In the old man's eyes, he looked like a fool, just staring blankly at the child with his bloodshot eyes.

He'd only ever heard of pregnancy making you stupid for three years, never of a father becoming stupid when he sees his child.

The old man was afraid that he would pass on his foolishness to the child, so he quickly picked up the child and moved three meters away from him.

Afraid of upsetting him, she didn't dare to explain loudly, "My baby still needs your care here. I'll take the child to take care of him first. Don't worry, with Aunt Yang and the others helping out, they'll definitely take good care of the child."

Without waiting for Huo Han's reaction, she quickly grabbed the child and ran away.

He used to think that Huo Han was excellent in every aspect, but now he takes back that assessment.

My little darling, I really hope you don't inherit your dad's tendency to be so weak when it comes to relationships, it's driving him crazy.

His precious grandson had never caused him any worry in this regard. He thought he would never have such troubles in his life, but he didn't expect that he would start to worry as soon as his little darling was born.

It seems that God is particularly kind to Lin Yuexi; the delivery went smoothly, and her recovery was also very smooth.

She was able to get out of bed shortly after waking up. Apart from some pain in a certain area that was still within her tolerance, she didn't experience any other negative effects from childbirth.

She can eat, drink, and sleep well, and breastfeeding is normal.

Looking down at her daughter, who was sweating profusely but still eating heartily in her arms, Lin Yuexi felt an indescribable feeling.

It was as if someone had tied her and the baby in her arms together with a thread in a strange world, making her completely and inextricably connected to this world.

Huo Han, sitting to the side, was stunned. His wife at this moment was someone he had never seen before. She was radiating maternal glow. Looking at her was like being under the warm moon, being embraced by the warm sun without any gap.

"young married woman."

Her voice even carried a hint of grievance.

At this moment, Huo Han had to admit that he felt a little sour and a little disappointed.

After his wife gave birth to the baby, she completely neglected him, the baby's father.

The first thing she did upon waking was to see the baby. After seeing the baby, she urged him to go to rest. He was so touched at the time. But when he woke up, he realized that his wife now only had eyes for the baby and no one else.

Lin Yuexi looked over in confusion, but the smile on her face vanished instantly upon seeing the resentful look on Huo Han's face. This made Huo Han feel even colder; his wife really didn't care about him anymore.

"what happened?"

Huo Han: What is he supposed to say?
You can't exactly say he's jealous of his own daughter, can you?

He dares to say it, and his wife will definitely slap him ten times in a row.

"It's nothing, I was just calling you."

Lin Yuexi chuckled softly, a complex emotion flashing in her eyes.

She held his hand and comforted him, saying, "I'm fine. Baby felt sorry for me and the baby came out without much pain."

She didn't comfort him, simply because her physical condition wasn't good. Although the delivery went smoothly, she only glanced at the baby after giving birth, remembered his face, and then fell asleep exhausted.

Because she had read period novels in her previous life, although she knew the surrounding environment was safe, and with the old man and Huo Han present, there was no way something like switching or snatching a child would happen, she still instinctively wanted to remember the child's appearance. Perhaps because she remained awake after giving birth, it instilled fear in the man before her.

You can tell he's afraid from the fact that he checks her breathing whenever she closes her eyes, holds her hand constantly, and always places his thumb over her pulse point.

It would be a lie to say she wasn't moved, but if asked how moved she was, she felt an even heavier burden on her shoulders.

Lin Yuexi has always been clear about her own feelings. She likes Huo Han, which can be barely called love, but it's definitely not to the point of deep love.

She always had a barrier between herself and the world. Even with the love of her family from the old man and Huo Han's affection, this barrier only thinned; it still existed.

So she has always followed her heart. She loves scientific research, and it just so happens that doing research doesn't require contact with too many people. So she embarked on this path, which others see as great, but which she sees as the most suitable for her.

Since we've come all this way, we should leave something behind to prove we were here.

However, she didn't initially intend to make it too big; her main goal was to live a life of leisure and ease.

When did your mindset change?

It is seeing many researchers who, despite suffering countless grievances, still disregard their health and dedicate themselves to research for the country;
It was seeing soldiers with 'junk' facing off against other countries with advanced weapons, knowing there was no way out but still fighting bravely;

It was the unwavering courage of those around her who risked their lives to carve out a possible path for her survival when she was attacked.

I don't know when, but her mindset changed. Since she was already here, what's wrong with making things bigger?
The more outstanding her abilities become, the more dangerous it is for her, a fact she understands better than anyone else.

But actually, she never really cared about that. For someone who had survived alone in the apocalypse for a long time, death was not scary.

If I can live, I will; if I can't, then so be it.

It's true that she had feelings for Huo Han when she married him, but the most important reason was that her mindset unexpectedly overlapped with that of the old man and the others. She also wanted to choose a person with excellent genes and have one or two outstanding offspring.

Feelings aren't the main reason; the right person at the right time is the real reason.

The old folks hoped her genius genes could be replicated, while she, influenced by her previous life, wanted a baby of her own.

After the apocalypse, due to climate change and increasingly difficult living conditions, fewer and fewer babies were born.

Everyone knows that in an apocalyptic environment, even if a child is born, there is little chance of it surviving. But children are hope; they are the hope for the continuation of humanity.

When humanity reaches a point where no more babies are born, it will mean that humanity has reached its end.

Lin Yuexi had a hard time surviving in her previous life. Some thoughts would flash through her mind and then linger, eventually becoming obsessions that she herself was unaware of.

Survival was difficult back then, so she didn't think too much. But when she came into this world and felt safe, the obsessions that had been hidden in her mind resurfaced.

Previously, the hope was for a baby to be born and for the continuation of that hope. But after being suppressed for a long time, this obsession has unknowingly changed its nature, and by the time it surfaced, it had become the hope that one's own genes would be passed on.

Since the goal is to continue the gene lineage, it's natural to choose superior genes to match, and Huo Han just happens to meet her standards in every way.

In her view, her relationship with Huo Han was more of a clash of two excellent genes than an emotional one.

Huo Han is a rather aloof person. He is not good at sweet talk, and he is principled, has strong beliefs, and has a set of standards in his mind. Some of his behaviors and ways of doing things can even be described as rigid.

The couple didn't have much affection for each other in their daily lives. Sometimes they wouldn't even contact each other for a month or two, and when they did manage to talk, they could only exchange a few words.

So she always felt that Huo Han had similar ideas to hers, both of them choosing a suitable person at the right time and then making do.

Have one or two more children to continue the mission they carried.
