Si Yuting breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Qu Tong had woken up.

If Ali hadn't told him before that she would sleep for a long time when her mental energy was depleted, he would have been worried that something had happened to her.

"Honey, are you still here?" Qu Tong spoke first.

She felt she had slept for quite a while; Si Yuting only had two days off, and she thought he should have gone back first.

Si Yuting was pleased with Qu Tong's change of address. He walked over and opened the window. "It's postponed. We'll wait for you."

"Are you hungry? I cooked some porridge. You've been sleeping for so long, have some porridge first and then drink the nutritional supplement."

Qu Tong then realized her stomach was empty. "How long have I been asleep?"

"In six hours, it will be a full three days."

After Si Yuting finished speaking, he got up and went downstairs.

Qu Tong stared blankly at the setting sun outside the window, her delicate brows slightly furrowed.

Something's not right!

She sleeps longer each time she regains her energy, but it seems like it's been a bit too long.

Moreover, thanks to the help of the ancient ring, I still had some spiritual energy left this time.

Logically, he should wake up within two days.

Qu Tong opened his personal computer and glanced at it. It was October 28th, Star Calendar 8047. It was indeed the third day.

28?

28!

It's almost the end of the month, and her period still hasn't come!

Her period should be at the beginning of the month.

Qu Tong tried hard to recall some details from the recent period.

Because her menstrual cycle was irregular, she hadn't paid much attention to it before. But even if it was irregular, it would only be a week early or late at most, not delayed from the beginning of the month to the end.

Lately, I've been feeling very sleepy. Even without using much mental energy, I sleep longer than usual, and I get sleepy as soon as it's time to go to bed at night, so I can hardly stay up late anymore.

A terrible thought formed in my mind: how could this be so much like a sign of pregnancy?

Qu Tong couldn't help but think of the time she vomited after eating raw fish last time, wondering if it could be considered a sign.

Because after taking the medicine prescribed by Jiang Zhou, I stopped vomiting.

Jiang Zhou said the medicine is made of traditional Chinese medicine and has the effect of nourishing the spleen and stomach, with no side effects on the body.

She usually eats two when she eats a lot of spicy food.

But isn't Si Yuting infertile?

Qu Tong was confused.

Before long, the sweet scent of corn wafted to her nose, stirring her stomach and making it restless.

Looking up, I saw Si Yuting bringing up the entire rice cooker.

Si Yuting cooked the pork rib and vegetable porridge that she taught him to make during her last live stream.

Si Yuting wisely ladled out the porridge and pushed it in front of Qu Tong, saying, "I've tasted it this time, and it should be alright."

Qu Tong scooped up a spoonful with some skepticism and put it in her mouth, her eyes instantly lighting up.

It's not just okay, it's even better than the last time she made it.

Last time she used a quick cooker, but this time Si Yuting probably simmered it over low heat, so the flavor was richer and more mellow, and the snow-white rice grains fully absorbed the aroma of the ribs, green beans, and corn.

Qu Tong gave him a thumbs up and ate several more bites.

Seeing that Qu Tong liked it, Si Yuting also smiled.

Qu Tong ate two large bowls in one go, while Si Yuting ate one bowl.

Si Yuting didn't cook much; it was just enough for three bowls.

While Qu Tong was eating, Si Yuting told her about what had happened in the past few days.

People from Zhongyuan Company have already come. Now, the protection level of Loy Star is second only to Capital Star and Abel Star.

Si Yuting even used weapons that could only be used on military-defense planets on her.

These things were originally strictly controlled, and we should also thank Mr. Yuan for his contributions to the country and the army.

Given this, based on the scale of the last Zerg attack, holding out for a day or two wouldn't be a problem.

These past two days, Si Yuting has been quite relaxed on Luo Yi Star. Aside from occasionally working while spending time with Qu Tong, he also goes to guide Lao Liu in improving the robot.

Qu Tong listened, nodding occasionally.

Putting down her spoon, Qu Tong looked at Si Yuting: "Honey, how long has it been since you had a physical exam?"

Si Yuting didn't know why Qu Tong suddenly asked this, but he still answered truthfully, "About half a year."

Previously, we had physical examinations once a month.

But he hasn't had any checkups since Qu Tong helped him treat his mental breakdown.

Firstly, he is currently in good mental condition and does not require constant monitoring. Secondly, it is inconvenient to reveal that Ali can treat mental riots.

Qu Tong remained silent.

She suspected that Si Yuting had fertility potential.

She was absolutely certain that Si Yuting was the only man in her life. It couldn't have been something he did to her while she was sleeping, could it?

She is very alert when she sleeps, and so far she has only gotten used to Sheng Sheng, Wen You and Si Yuting.

She will still be startled and instinctively attack if someone gets too close.

However, it cannot be completely confirmed yet; it is all just her speculation.

Seeing that Qu Tong remained silent for a long time, Si Yuting asked the question that had been bothering him, "Why did Ali suddenly ask that?"

"I was just worried that you might feel uncomfortable if you suddenly stopped using your mental energy that day," Qu Tong casually made up an excuse.

Si Yuting was too perceptive, so Qu Tong deliberately fussed over him with sweet words and asked after his well-being, coaxing him to wait for her downstairs while she freshened up before going down herself.

Qu Tong quickly tidied up, looked at Si Yuting's smart brain on the table, hesitated for a moment, and then chose to log in to her alternate account using her own personal computer.

Enter the following term in the search box: "Can a fertility score be restored after reaching zero?"

After searching around, I still couldn't find an authoritative and accurate answer.

There are actually many institutions on the market that help increase fertility, and they are quite popular and expensive. The country also has research institutes that specialize in this area and have been dedicated to increasing fertility.

In fact, fertility value can be increased to some extent, but not by much. The best way is to find a partner with high fertility value and conceive naturally. The fertility value of the next generation has a certain possibility of exceeding that of both parents.

Although it is not explicitly stated that fertility cannot be restored after it reaches zero, experimental evidence suggests that drugs and treatments that increase fertility are far more effective on people with fertility than on those without.

Experiments were also conducted on several people with zero fertility, but all of them failed. This type of experiment was not cheap, so the country did not waste any more resources.

There are very few people whose fertility value drops to zero, and the few failed cases are not enough to support the conclusion.

Qu Tong then searched for pregnancy test strips.

We've discovered that pregnancy tests from the interstellar era have long been updated and become much more intelligent.

Not only are they using miniature blood collection needles for testing, but they're all connected to the internet...

The price is very reasonable, only a few stars per stick.

Moreover, within just a few minutes, countless blue-label accounts contacted her.

Upon clicking, I found numerous helpful reminders from renowned hospitals: "[Pregnant women are welcome to have their prenatal checkups at the nearest hospital. According to the Imperial Fertility Law, all prenatal checkup costs are covered by the gene bank. For ambulance assistance, please call 0599-XXXX.]"

Luckily, she was using a smaller account.

She underestimated the importance that the interstellar community places on newborns.

It's so difficult to even secretly take a pregnancy test.

Let her sort it out, what should we do?

"Ah Li, are you done?" Si Yuting's voice rang out from the doorway.

Qu Tong subconsciously turned off the projection on her personal computer. (End of Chapter)
