Reborn as the Paranoid Female’s Rejected Sweetheart [Zerg Tribe] - 51

Chapter 51 Extra: 01 The First Photo of the Offspring

Just like when Yi Er quietly got married and registered, this time, their wedding ceremony with Qi Yao was still a hot topic on the Star Network.

As members of the royal family, it wasn’t surprising that the Emperor and Empress attended the ceremony to bless them. What was surprising was that this wedding was said to have been specifically arranged by the male for him.

While Qi Yao was browsing through the pregnancy precautions on the Star Network, he inadvertently saw this news and clicked on it again out of curiosity.

This time, the comments section was not like the news of Yi Er’s marriage registration, where many doubted their marriage. Instead, there was a sudden change in tone, with hints of envy for Yi Er’s marriage evident between the lines.

User kbc46yjhx: “[A female servant without a wedding finds herself sighing with envy.]”

Mustard-flavored Little Whip: “[Did Yi Er save the galaxy in his previous life? How else could he make the male arrange a wedding for him?]”

Galaxy’s Most Beautiful Female: “[What’s wrong with me? Why do I feel a little sour? I need a lemon to calm my nerves.]”

Waiting for a Male Beauty: “[Was the male forced? With Yi Er’s personality, how could a male willingly arrange a wedding for him?]”

Will Die If Not Beaten: “[This male looks so soft, haha… When will I also meet such a male?]”

User sc5h68uk: “[After seeing the live photos, I can only say they look very compatible. Let’s just wish them well here.]”

Non-existent User: “[Asking off-topic, does this male have plans to take in female slaves? If so, contact information XXXXXXXX]”

…

Qi Yao ignored the occasional negative voices that sneaked in, scrolled to the bottom of the comments, and felt a small sense of satisfaction rising in his heart.

As one of the main characters, he really wanted to participate in the comments, but after organizing his thoughts for half a day, he still couldn’t figure out how to reply without seeming too ostentatious or conceited. He simply closed the news and continued with his work.

After all, he and Yi Er knew what their marriage was like, and they didn’t need other zergs to comment on it.

According to the Star Network, when a female zerg is pregnant, attention must be paid to his emotions, diet, and health, and the growth of the eggs must be observed at all times, especially in the early stages of pregnancy when the eggs are unstable. It’s crucial to be extremely careful.

After finishing his studies, Qi Yao felt that he had mastered all the theoretical knowledge, and now only the practical part remained.

Last night, when he found out about the pregnancy, he was curious for a long time. If it weren’t for the wedding consuming a lot of his energy, he might have been too excited to sleep all night.

In the morning, Yi Er hadn’t woken up yet.

Qi Yao, who had finished his studies, slipped under the covers and gently lifted Yi Er’s shirt to boldly examine the strong and muscular abdomen, still unable to imagine that there was an egg belonging to him and Yi Er here.

The scan results from Xiao En couldn’t show the specifics, so he needed to go to the hospital for a clearer view.

Feeling itchy, Yi Er opened his eyes and didn’t see the male zerg at the side of the pillow. Instead, he saw a lump under the blanket and sleepily pulled him out.

With his big obsidian-like eyes wide open, Qi Yao wanted to touch Yi Er’s abdomen but was afraid of startling the egg inside. He said, “Yi Er, let’s go to the hospital to have the female doctor check it out.”

Yi Er also had this plan. Pregnancy couldn’t be determined solely by a mechanical AI zerg worker like Xiao En. After all, it wasn’t a real doctor. If they wanted to see the health of the fetus, they had to go to the hospital.

“Yeah, let’s go later,” Yi Er closed his eyes and hugged Qi Yao.

They didn’t have to go to work today, so they lingered in bed for a while before getting up to prepare to go to the hospital.

Because they had been busy preparing for the wedding recently, Dean hadn’t been idle either. Now that everything was over, Yi Er gave Dean a break.

This directly led to them getting out of bed and downstairs without having breakfast.

Qi Yao thought: Yi Er is pregnant, so we need to prepare meals for pregnant females. He volunteered to go to the kitchen.

Naturally, Yi Er didn’t allow it.

He still remembered that, early on, when Qi Yao cooked biscuits for him for the first time, he had earnestly promised that Qi Yao didn’t need to cook anymore.

A true female zerg would never allow his male to cook?!

Just because he’s carrying an egg, and the egg isn’t even the size of a sesame seed yet, it wouldn’t interfere with wrestling, weightlifting, or push-ups, let alone cooking in the kitchen?!

So Yi Er stopped Qi Yao from stepping into the kitchen. “Male lord, what do you want to eat? I’ll make it for you.”

Qi Yao: “Huh?”

Can’t he just heat up the breakfast prepared by Dean yesterday? He won’t burn himself, right? This isn’t allowed either?

Yi Er was pregnant after all. How could he not let this healthy and capable male zerg cook for himself?

Seeing Qi Yao hesitate, Yi Er repeated firmly, “I’ll have a nutritional liquid with vegetables for breakfast. What do you want to eat? If you’re tired of what Dean made, I can make something new for you.”

…

Since it’s engraved in the bones that male zergs can’t cook.

Qi Yao didn’t know how to make a pregnant female’s meal specifically, but in his hesitation, he came up with a win-win solution.

He handed the breakfast problem over to Xiao En, so nobody had to cook: “I’ll eat anything, even nutritional liquid with vegetables is fine. Let Xiao En do it. It has pre-set programs in its chip, just prepare some simple breakfast. Let’s not make a fuss about it.”

Handing it over to Xiao En, simple and convenient, done in three minutes.

Perfect!

The breakfast problem was solved so pleasantly. Qi Yao thought to himself that when Dean came back to work, he should ask him how to make a pregnant female’s meal. This way, if Dean wasn’t around again and Yi Er hadn’t woken up, he’d have the chance to show off his skills.

After breakfast, the two zergs set off for the hospital.

Reproduction was a major issue for the zerg race, so the obstetrics and gynecology departments of major hospitals in the empire were always popular.

Qi Yao and Yi Er went to the Royal Hospital. Compared to aristocratic or ordinary hospitals, the Royal Hospital not only provided excellent service but, more importantly, had advanced technology.

Under the orderly service of the reception zerg, the two filled out the forms, underwent pre-examinations, and arrived at the examination room.

Qi Yao couldn’t go into the examination room, so he stood outside and waited.

Yi Er lay on the scanning table, and the blue light emitted by the scanner blinked as it moved steadily back and forth over his flat abdomen, transmitting the detected results to the electronic screen in the examination room.

When he got off the scanning table, the obstetrician called Qi Yao over to look together. “Congratulations, Mr. Qi, you’re going to be a father. Both the pregnant female and the egg are healthy.”

The scanning results on the electronic screen were much clearer than those given by Xiao En. Qi Yao looked at the black and white images on the screen with fervent eyes, but it was all a blur, and he could only see a large, round silhouette, perhaps Yi Er’s reproductive cavity?

Such images were very unfamiliar to him. He couldn’t really tell where the tiny egg, smaller than a sesame seed, was. But with the doctor’s confirmation, he couldn’t help but rub his hands in excitement.

He asked, “How far along?”

The obstetrician said, “Less than a week.”

So, Xiao En’s examination results were accurate after all.

He looked at Yi Er, who returned a calm gaze.

Well, compared to his consort, he did indeed get too excited.

The obstetrician gave some more instructions, especially emphasizing that Qi Yao should take care of Yi Er’s emotions. Then he handed them over to the reception zerg, and finally reminded them repeatedly, “Until delivery, make sure to come regularly.”

Qi Yao responded one by one.

Leaving the examination room, he held up the scan image given to him by the obstetrician and studied it, “Where’s the egg? Why can’t I find it? Is this it?”

He pointed to a small dot on it, “It doesn’t look like it…”

“It’s all this,” Yi Er glanced at it and looked at the egg, still a large cell, wondering how his husband could say there wasn’t any.

Qi Yao: “?”

Yi Er had to explain, “This entire scan image is a close-up of the egg.”

Qi Yao was stunned.

This blurry scan image that couldn’t distinguish between walls was actually their little offspring? He had thought it was Yi Er’s reproductive cavity…

Qi Yao’s ears burned, thinking: I’m sorry, little one, it’s the ignorance of the father, not recognizing you.

Then he carefully put away the first photo of their offspring and put it in his arms.

“Dean?”

As Qi Yao was silently apologizing to the offspring, he heard Yi Er’s puzzled voice beside him.

Qi Yao looked up and saw Yi Er looking at a department ahead. Dean had just walked out from inside, his steps slightly hurried, not noticing them.

“Dean? What’s he doing here?” Qi Yao had the same doubts, “Is he accompanying a friend?”

Dean stopped in front of a male zerg with golden hair, handed him the examination sheet, and the male zerg took it, his deeply carved face revealing a faint smile.

Indeed, he was accompanying a friend, and a friend of the opposite sex.

Qi Yao was surprised, looking at Yi Er’s gloomy face, “Is Dean pregnant too?”

It wouldn’t be possible for Dean to visit the obstetrics and gynecology department of the Royal Hospital with a friend of the opposite sex for a check-up, so there must be a need for Dean.

But during the wedding preparations, there was no sign that Dean was pregnant? If Dean was pregnant, how could he let the pregnant female work? Did Dean get pregnant just like Yi Er? With this male zerg with golden hair? When did Dean get married?…

Qi Yao’s questions arose one after another. As one of Dean’s employers, he felt ashamed not knowing when his butler had gotten into a relationship.

So, just like Yi Er, he also kept a vigilant gaze on this seemingly gentle male zerg from a distance.

After Dean and the male zerg finished reviewing the examination sheet, they looked up and saw Qi Yao and Yi Er. There was a moment of surprise on Dean’s face, followed by an even bigger smile.

He said something to the male zerg beside him, then walked over with measured steps, politely greeting Qi Yao and Yi Er, “Mr. Qi, General.”

Yi Er’s gaze fell on the male zerg, “Is that Austin?”

Dean nodded, “Yes.”

Yi Er withdrew his probing gaze, and his eyes slid over Dean’s abdomen without a trace, asking with concern, “Are you sick?”

For the first time ever, Dean, whose face was always perfect as if he were a template, showed a hint of shyness, but he still spoke steadily at the same pace as before, “I’m not sick. Austin said the medical technology here is top-notch, so I came to check if there’s any problem with myself.”

“Do you want to conceive again?”

“…Yes,” Dean felt a bit embarrassed.

In his previous marriage, indirectly caused by the coercion of the former male, Dean had a miscarriage. These years, because he had no intention of remarrying, Dean hadn’t paid attention to his own health until he met Austin.

Yi Er asked, “What did the check-up say?”

Dean: “Some results haven’t come out yet, so I have to wait a bit longer.”

After saying that, as if just realizing it, he was quietly surprised, “General, you’re here…?”

Yi Er smiled, “Dean, I’m pregnant.”

“Ah.” Dean’s surprise finally showed on his face, and in his bright eyes, there was undisguised joy, “Congratulations to General and Mr. Qi. There will be another member in the family in the future.”

Yi Er smiled, “Do you need any help? I have some specific privileges in this hospital.”

Dean nodded, “No need, General. The check-up is done, I just need to wait patiently for the results, which should be out soon.”

“Okay, then I won’t disturb you.” With that, Yi Er and Qi Yao left.

Passing by Austin, Qi Yao couldn’t help but look at him a few more times. This zerg seemed familiar, as if he had seen him somewhere.

Suddenly, a brainwashing melody echoed in his mind, gradually overlapping with Austin’s face.

As they walked out of the hospital and got on the aircraft to go home, Qi Yao finally calmed down and asked Yi Er to confirm, “Wasn’t that Austin our wedding’s music conductor?”

Yi Er was also pondering this question. Because he had seen Austin before, he recognized him before Qi Yao did. “As the royal musician, Dean handles the wedding arrangements, so it’s not surprising that they would have contact.”

“…”

Royal Hospital appointments are hard to come by, and Dean appearing here turned out to be under Austin’s name.

Qi Yao hadn’t expected his own versatile Dean, who was always clear and cold, to fall for a talented musician so quickly.

Indeed, talented males are a guarantee of charm.

“How’s this Austin?” A discerning zerg could tell that Dean’s relationship with him was unusual, and Qi Yao was somewhat worried that Dean might repeat the mistakes of his previous marriage.

Yi Er said, “I haven’t had much interaction with him. I only know that he’s a common-born male who has loved music since childhood. Later, he became a musician and was recruited by the Royal Music Corps. However, he has a famous saying: ‘Music is my spouse.'”

“What?”

“He claims that music is his partner.”

“…Why does that sound so unreliable?”

Qi Yao: “Does he have a female at home?”

Yi Er frowned and remained silent for a moment. Considering the behavior of those males in the empire, who typically prioritize young single females, why did Austin set his sights on Dean, who had been divorced and made headlines? Did Dean unilaterally pursue him?

It didn’t seem like Dean’s style, especially after he had finally moved on from his previous marriage. Oh, right, there’s another similar zerg like Yao Li, but Yao Li is an exception.

Yi Er said, “I’ll inquire about Austin another day.”
