Chapter 55 - The Little Ones

The hover car stopped directly over the reception desk outside the hospital's emergency room. The emergency medical personnel who had already received the alert immediately came out with a stretcher. Xu Yao put Le Yao on the stretcher and took him into the emergency room.

The medical personnel tried to pry Le Yao's fingers away from Xu Yao's shirt, but failed. The emergency doctor said, "Get a pair of scissors and cut the General's shirt!"

Le Yao had closed his eyes, and was in a panicked state, but he still understood his surroundings very clearly. He tightened his hold on Xu Yao's shirt and weakly said, "No, no, no scissors."

His voice was very light and his teeth were quivering, but Xu Yao heard it clearly.

Xu Yao felt the hand holding his shirt tighten further, and the feeling of anxiety was being broadcasted particularly clearly. He held Le Yao's hand and said softly, "It's alright, we won't cut it, no scissors." After that he told the emergency doctor, "I'll stay with him, he's too nervous."

The emergency doctors didn't pursue the matter any further. They were all people who had given emergency treatment on the battlefield. Their psychological quality was better than that of others. Although Xu Yao was standing there, they still did what they had to do. The emergency doctor in charge said, "Intramuscular injection of two milliliters of neuropeptide… wait, we better use adenosine gland."

The nurse busily prepared the needle and quickly injected the medicine into Le Yao's body. Le Yao gradually relaxed. His expression became a little softer, his muscles were no longer so stiff, and his heartbeat was gradually returning to a normal rate. Only the hand that had held on to Xu Yao's shirt, did not let go even after all this. It took about ten minutes for Le Yao to fully enter a deep sleep and completely loosen his grip. Xu Yao felt a little helpless towards Le Yao's current condition.

The indicators gradually returned to the normal range, and the doctor told Xu Yao, "General, please rest assured that your wife is out of danger now. However, he needs to undergo a more detailed examination for us to determine the cause for his spasming after being frightened. From the current situation, we can't rule out any psychological problems."

Xu Yao said, "Alright, let me know when the examination results come out."

Xu Yao left the emergency room and asked President Liu, "President Liu, what's the difference between neuropeptide and adenosine gland?"

President Liu answered, "Both of them are medicines that can relieve spasming symptoms. The effect of neuropeptide is faster and more obvious. After use, there are rarely any symptoms of discomfort, but it is slightly toxic. The toxins can be excreted normally after about three to five days though. For adenosine gland, you will feel dizzy and nauseous after waking up. You will feel uncomfortable for about half a day, but the medicine is non-toxic. Why are you suddenly asking about this?"

"Just now, Dr. Xu had said to use neuropeptide at first, but then he suddenly changed it to adenosine gland," replied Xu Yao.

President Liu said, "He should have taken into consideration that Mr Xiao Le has just passed his estrus period, and the possibility of pregnancy can't be ruled out. Our emergency doctors have responded very quickly."

It was true that all the doctors who could work here as the emergency doctors were all flexible and quick-minded. Xu Yao watched as the doctors and nurses methodically performed a check up on Le Yao and then cleaned up. A question flashed in his mind: Why is Le Yao so afraid of snakes?

Previously, when he had killed the snake in his house, Le Yao, because he was very frightened, had continuously followed him around and needed a long time to calm down. But this time, his reaction was more obvious and had even made his body spasm.

Xu Yao said, "Today's class will be suspended for now. Yan Jie and Chen Yingwei, go back to the Command Center and do what you need to do. Other issues will be discussed after Le Yao wakes up."

"Alright, Brother Xu." Yan Jie had decided that staying here wouldn't help. Anyways, maybe he could think about exterminating all the snakes near the living area? Or maybe get some anti-snake medicine. This incident was obviously too traumatising for Le Yao.

President Liu and Doctor Zhao had to work in the hospital, so they didn't leave. Both of them waited with Xu Yao until all the examinations were finished, and then sent Le Yao to the ward and informed Xu Yao about his condition. Le Yao would only wake up after half a day of sleep. President Liu and Doctor Zhao then accompanied the emergency doctor to study the examination results.

Xu Yao sat beside Le Yao's bed. Seeing that Le Yao was still asleep, he gently caressed Le Yao's hand, not knowing that at that very moment, several people in the doctor's office were going crazy with excitement.

"Oh my God, isn't that too powerful?! Three!"

"Yes, ah! Now, you can see the gestational sac, this… perhaps… doesn't this mean, they were already there since the day he began his estrus period?"

"Err, you two..." Although the emergency doctor knew that they should be joyous about this news, why would President Liu and Dr. Zhao be this excited?

"Ah, Xiao Xu, you don't understand. Our General's genes are very extraordinary. It's very difficult for most people to conceive his children." President Liu added, "His genes basically belong to the category where even if he is matched to the best genetic partner, there is a low probability of having children. But you see, the General is about to have three children! Shouldn't he be very excited?" When Xu Yao had gone to Planet Tarot, he had also urged him to marry Le Yao quickly, because the genetic map had declared them a super match! But at that time the General hadn't made his decision quickly. Fortunately, he had still gotten married!

"It's good to celebrate then," Dr. Xu smiled widely, "This is really too great. Will we get a red envelope?"

"That's right. Hurry up! Let's go tell the General the news and see how he reacts!" Dr. Zhao urged, "Let's go, let's go together."

Xu Yao had always been very calm. Maybe that was because he had experienced too many things, so it was very difficult to affect his expressions.

Now, it's time to see if the General can still stand still, hehe.

President Liu took the lead and knocked on the door of Le Yao's ward. When Xu Yao heard it, he carefully put down Le Yao's hand, came out, and asked, "How is the result?"

President Liu, Dr. Zhao, and Dr. Xu all displayed a sad expression on their faces. President Liu said, "General, there are two pieces of news according to the examination results. The first is that Mr Xiao Le has no major physical problems. This kind of sudden spasm should have been caused by a severe shock. We are considering the reason for it to be due to some kind of psychological shadow. Thankfully, according to Mr Xiao Le's daily life, it should be treatable. The other piece of news is… "

Xu Yao frowned, "What's the other one?"

Dr. Zhao said carefully, "The other one is… you need to be mentally prepared for it."

Xu Yao's tone suddenly became cold, "What do you mean?"

His powerful and coercive tone immediately caused Dr. Zhao's scalp to become numb, and he impulsively stepped back.

At this time, President Liu took the lead to say, "Mr Xiao Le is pregnant."

Dr. Xu held out three fingers and said, "Three."

Xu Yao: "…"

Xu Yao didn't seem to be able to switch from 'being mentally prepared' to 'my wife is pregnant'. After a while, he asked, "What did you just say?"

President Liu said with a smile, "Congratulations General, your wife is pregnant with triplets! He should have conceived during the first few days of his estrus period. Currently, they look good in all aspects."

After hearing this, Xu Yao did not know how to respond to this exciting news. He suddenly walked towards the other side of the corridor and then came back. He seemed to be trying to restrain himself from giving off the illusion that if anyone had dared to lie to him about this, he would immediately kill them. "You mean, I'm going to be a father?"

"Yes, General!" said the three doctors in unison.

Xu Yao turned to look at his little wife who was sleeping in the ward, and with a satisfied smile on his lips, he coughed and said, "That's great. You go back first. I'll stay with him for the time being."

Dr. Xu raised his hands and said, "General, we need red envelopes here!"

Xu Yao laughed, "Yes, of course! Ah also, give Leslie a list of all the things I should pay attention to during his pregnancy."

President Liu smiled, "Before, I didn't know whether you liked children, but now it seems like you like them very much."

Xu Yao said, "I like them. How can I not like them? My wife is pregnant with my children!"

After that, Xu Yao closed the door and sat beside Le Yao. He watched his sleeping wife quietly.

Le Yao slept very heavily because of the medication he was given. His breathing was steady, and his body was not as stiff as before, which reassured Xu Yao a lot. At the same time, he made him feel a little incredible…

When he had gone to Planet Tarot, he really didn't want to register this marriage at first. Who would have thought that now, his heart that had been planted on Le Yao couldn't be taken back?

Leaping over 500 years of fate, this was his life.

Xu Yao gently held Le Yao's hand, kissed it softly, and sat next to him for the whole morning.

At noon, someone came over to report to Xu Yao about some military matters, and also asked whether he would like his lunch delivered to the hospital. Xu Yao said that he didn't need to do so.

At the same time, Le Yao slowly opened his eyes and woke up. He first looked around at his surroundings for a while, then remembered what had happened, and subconsciously felt a little flustered. It was mainly because there was no one in the ward.

Xu Yao didn't want to wake Le Yao, so he quietly conversed with his subordinate outside the ward, in the corridor.

Le Yao couldn't hear them. Seeing that the communication device on his wrist had also been removed, he slowly sat up. He wanted to get out of bed and go out to take a look. But when he had just placed his feet on the floor, he was attacked by a wave of dizziness and nausea, and directly fell down on to the floor. "Aahh!"

Xu Yao immediately opened the door and rushed in from outside. He was startled at the sight Le Yao sitting on the floor, "How did you fall down? Let me see." He then shouted, "Han Mo! Quickly call the doctor!"

Le Yao rubbed his wrist as he replied, "No need, I… I just felt a little dizzy. I didn't see you here. So, I wanted to go out and find you."

Xu Yao, while helping Le Yao lay on the bed, said, "It is a side-effect of the medicine. President Liu said that it may take half a day to completely fade. You should lie down first and don't move. Tell me if you feel uncomfortable."

"Un. What about my communicator?" asked Le Yao.

Xu Yao took it out of his pocket and said, "I took it off while you were undergoing the examination and forgot to put it back on."

Le Yao said, "Ah, I'm sorry, did I make you worry? Actually, I'm fine with anything, but I'm particularly afraid of snakes. Even though… I can bear them from a distance. But today, it was very close. I was…"

Xu Yao pecked Le Yao's forehead lightly and said, "It's alright, you're fine now." After that, he caressed Le Yao's belly carefully and asked, "Did you know that you had three little ones in here?"

Le Yao answered in a daze, "Ha??"

"'Ha'?! What 'Ha'!" Xu Yao rubbed Le Yao's hair, "This is great! We'll have three little ones all at once… what are you doing?"

Before Xu Yao had finished speaking, Le Yao had suddenly sat up again and was struggling to get out of bed. He hurriedly stopped his wife and asked, "What are you trying to do?"

Le Yao replied, "I wanted to see if I was lying in the wrong position. I've definitely been scared silly by the snake, haven't I?"

Xu Yao pushed his wife back onto the bed and said, "Don't make trouble, it's true that you were frightened by a snake, but the three little ones in your belly are also real." Xu Yao looked at Le Yao seriously and continued, "Le Yaoyao, I'm going to be a father."

Le Yao: "… So, you mean to say I have three big fish eggs in my stomach?"

Xu Yao: What's with that metaphor = = ︱︱
