At this moment, the new mother also woke up. When she saw Xinghe, she shed tears.
"Are you willing to fight for your child, for yourself, just this once?" Xinghe asked.
"What are we fighting for?" She already knew she had given birth to a daughter, and despair was evident on her face.
"Your husband is an irresponsible man. Are you willing to leave him?" Xinghe's tone was very calm.
"Even if I wanted to leave him, what good would it do? I'm so weak right now, I... I still need someone to take care of me. How can I divorce him?" the woman cried.
“My name is Li Xinghe.” Xinghe looked at her and said gently, “I am currently engaged in physics research and work at the National Academy of Sciences. I hope that I will have the opportunity to mentor your child.”
"You are... Li Xinghe?" The woman stopped crying abruptly, looked her up and down, and suddenly laughed. "Yes, yes, you are Dr. Li. I think you look a bit like him, but I'm not sure. Dr. Li, you are a very good person. Did God send you to help me?"
Seeing her crying and laughing at the same time, Xinghe didn't know what to do, so he subconsciously touched his nose. "Calm down. I'll take care of the rest for you. Also, I'll ask your mother for her opinion."
After saying that, she turned and walked outside.
"I agree."
Xinghe paused, a slight smile playing on her lips, and walked out the door without looking back.
Li Xi was waiting for her in another room. The family whose child had been switched by the female doctor, except for the mother, were also waiting there.
As soon as Xinghe entered, several people knelt down before her.
"Doctor, thank you. If it weren't for you, we wouldn't have known that the child had been switched."
"Get up quickly, I have something to discuss with you." Xinghe helped up the woman in her forties or fifties who was at the front.
The others also stood up.
The aunt Xinghe helped up held Xinghe's hand and said, "Thank you, Doctor. If you hadn't discovered it, my wife wouldn't have been able to handle it if we hadn't found out later that the babies had been switched."
"You're her mother-in-law?" Xinghe asked, somewhat surprised, then quickly composed herself. She was still reeling from the shock of that awful mother-in-law yesterday and hadn't quite caught up.
"Mmm." The aunt nodded and continued, "Doctor, just tell us what you need. We'll help you with anything we can."
Xinghe spoke directly about raising their child.
"This is wonderful news, Doctor! You are our benefactor!" The aunt was very excited.
The adults behind them were also very excited. It was an extremely honorable thing for their children to be selected by the National Academy of Sciences for doctoral training.
Even without mentioning these things, the child's future prospects are limitless.
Xinghe breathed a slight sigh of relief, had the guard make a record, and then returned to the Academy of Sciences.
"Master, Fifth Gentle has left this city."
Xinghe raised an eyebrow slightly. "Do you know where he went?"
"Deep in the mountains and forests".
"Okay, I understand."
"Master, how can you still be so calm? That fox spirit is obviously going back to practice its magic so it can deal with you in the future."
"Can he beat 'Long Aotian'?"
The ring fell silent.
So, Fifth Gentle is a tragedy.
Li Xi let Xinghe go home first, while he went to find the dean alone.
Xinghe was preoccupied with nurturing the chosen one and didn't notice Lixi's strange gaze at all.
She had experience in mentoring people. But that was different.
They adopted a child because they had no offspring after being a lesbian, and their partner wanted another child.
Back then, raising children was like herding sheep; as long as they didn't do anything wrong or break the law, you could let them do whatever they wanted.
But this is different; it's about cultivating talent for the country. We can't push them too hard, lest we end up nurturing someone who will rebel.
This balance is a bit tricky to strike.
However, we still need to start cultivating this child's interests and hobbies from a young age, and then instill in them the concept of perseverance.
And then...
We'll see when the time comes. She's an all-rounder; what can't she teach?
Once you've taught them to their limit, then send them out for further studies.
It's perfect, no problems at all.
After thinking it over, Xinghe lay down on the comfortable sofa.
Not long after, Li Xi returned, his smile indicating that he was in a very good mood.
Xinghe's gaze immediately fell on him. "What did the dean say to you? You seem so happy."
"I can't tell you that." Li Xi looked into her eyes, the corners of her mouth spreading into a wide smile that she could hardly pull back.
Xinghe chuckled, "Alright, Lixi, you have secrets from me now."
"Is it allowed?" Li Xi moved closer to her, looking at her with a slight nervousness.
Xinghe thought for a moment and smiled, "I'll allow you this little secret."
"Xinghe, you're so good to me." Li Xi smiled.
"Silly Li Xi, you've been much kinder to me than I've been to you." Xinghe sighed softly and leaned on his shoulder.
...
They wanted to cultivate talent for the country, and the higher-ups were naturally happy to see that. They helped resolve all the troublesome issues and sent the child to the Academy of Sciences.
They allowed the two mothers, along with two nannies they sent, to help them.
The director of the Institute of Biology knew that Xinghe wanted to cultivate talent, so he came over and pleaded with her to help him train a biology student.
Xinghe was both amused and exasperated. She was nowhere near as good at biology as the people in the research institute, was she?
Except for the fifth layer of poison that cannot be cured by ordinary means, any PhD in biology could handle the other poisons.
But Xinghe couldn't deny it, otherwise how could she explain where the divine blood came from?
This is a science-driven world. It's easier to get them to believe in the existence of God than to let them be reincarnated.
Xinghe had no choice but to say that she wouldn't force the children to learn anything and that everything should be based on their interests. If they were interested in biology, she would teach them biology.
Both deans agreed with this point.
Xinghe secretly breathed a sigh of relief, looked up, and saw Lixi rushing over. She glanced at her and then handed her a piece of fruit.
The president of the Academy of Sciences gave a kind yet meaningful smile.
Xinghe was completely bewildered. What's going on lately? This guy is here one minute and gone the next. It feels like every time he comes over, it's under the pretense of delivering something, but actually he just has to come and see her eyes to keep her alert, and then he leaves again.
Gone...
She touched her face, and realized she wasn't old or faded at all. Why was she so disgusted?
The president of the Academy of Sciences smiled and pulled the director of the Institute of Biology to his office; they were going to have a serious talk.
Xinghe couldn't understand what Lixi was doing, but she had agreed to allow him that little secret.
Forget it, I'll just trust him for now.
"Master, you're so powerful in this life, can you research something that can pull Ji Rufeng into my ring space?"
