Three days later, Shen Xiuming could no longer lie down. Finally, Wen Siyuan saw that he was indeed lively and had no signs of postpartum sequelae, so he reluctantly relented and allowed him to get out of bed and walk around the villa.
Different worlds, same 'confinement period'.
Song Sanniang couldn't get rid of the mentality of having to observe confinement after giving birth, so when Chen Xiuming looked at her for help, she spread her hands to show that she could do nothing to help.
So Shen Xiuming resigned himself to his fate and wandered around in the small space of the villa.
Thanks to this situation, he fully understood for the first time all the details of the layout and decoration of the villa where he had lived for decades.
However, a few days later, Shen Xiuming suddenly remembered that he had a fellow sufferer named Ling Chao. After eating the nutritious meal made by Wen Bo, he hid in the study and made a video call to his good comrade.
It rang for a while, and when Shen Xiuming was about to hang up if he didn't answer, the other party finally answered.
As soon as the video was connected, Shen Xiuming felt a black screen in front of his eyes, and many doubts flashed through his mind.
At this moment, Ling Chao's whispered voice was suddenly heard.
"General Shen, what do you want to talk to me about?"
It was not until the male insect opposite spoke that Shen Xiuming looked carefully and found that the two circles reflecting light in the middle of the dark shadow were Ling Chao's eyes.
He was silent for a rare moment, then lowered his voice, "I was just bored and thought you'd given birth, so I wanted to check on you. How are you doing now?"
The two illuminated circles on the opposite side didn't move. "Oh, forget it. I don't know where Uncle Ming heard that after laying eggs, male insects need to rest for a while, just like female insects, to avoid any sequelae."
"He also buys various colored leaves and good-for-you wild animal meat from who knows where. He makes nutritious meals for me every day. They taste good, but I can't bear to eat them every meal."
When Shen Xiuming heard about the nutritious meal and those familiar raw materials, he silently spit out a series of names.
"Red Flame Grass, Honey Purifying Flower... and Fire Pig Savage Beast Meat?"
Ling Chao on the opposite side paused for a moment, and Shen Xiuming immediately confirmed his guess from his reaction. Sure enough.
"How did you know that?"
After saying this, he probably remembered that the butlers of the two families had a very good relationship.
Ling Chao looked a little strange and asked the other party tentatively.
"Are you eating too?"
Shen Xiuming thought of the nutritious meals from Wen Bo'ai that he had eaten these days, and nodded with a wooden face.
Ling Chao saw him nod, and since even Admiral Shen had to eat nutritious meals, he didn't feel so bad anymore.
He was about to say something when he keenly heard the sound coming from the corridor outside the door. The footsteps belonged to Uncle Ming!
"Uncle Ming is here. I have to take a nap first."
Before Shen Xiuming could speak, Ling Chao on the other side hurriedly hung up the phone after saying that.
His back suddenly straightened. Compared with Ling Chao's, he felt that there was nothing wrong with his current recuperation life. At least Wen Bo was willing to let him out for a walk.
Sure enough, insects are easily satisfied when they have comparisons.
On the other side, after Ling Chao hung up the call, he immediately put down his laptop, lay down, and finally pretended to take a nap before Ming Sibo came in.
Half a month later, Shen Xiuming was finally able to go to the Hatching Paradise with Song Sanniang to see the insect eggs.
In the incubation room, Shen Xiuming and Song Sanniang were both looking at the six insect eggs crowded together in the incubation chamber with an obsessive look on their faces.
"I haven't seen them for half a month, and the lines on the eggs have become much deeper. It seems they are developing well."
Shen Xiuming looked at the insect eggs and couldn't bear to take his eyes away.
After so long, he still took a few glances at the eggs on the day they were laid. Later, when the eggs were sent to the incubation park, he could only watch the recorded videos on Song Sanniang's computer, and he always felt that something was missing.
I worked so hard for several months to conceive the insect eggs, but now I can't even touch them. I really want to take the eggs home and raise them myself.
Dangerous thoughts flashed through my mind.
"Yeah, the patterns on insect eggs are all beautiful."
Perhaps because she had been an insect twice in her life, Song Sanniang was quite accustomed to the aesthetics of the insect race. From the moment she saw their two insect eggs, she felt that the eggs' round and cute appearance, as well as those mysterious and beautiful patterns, were beautiful no matter how she looked at them.
The two insects stared at the eggs until the visiting time was over, and finally left the incubator reluctantly, looking back every few steps.
Another half month passed before Song Sanniang and Shen Xiuming ran into Ling Chao in the incubation park, who came to see their insect eggs with an excited look on his face.
Shen Xiu understood clearly that he could finally go out for some fresh air, and he was happy for him.
A month later, the insect eggs began to hatch one after another. In order to be able to receive the larvae in time, Song Sanniang and Shen Xiuming bought a small house near the hatchery.
All six insect eggs were successfully hatched. When Song Sanniang and Shen Xiuming went to pick up the last one, Xiaoliu, who had hatched, Liu Hongxin pulled them aside to talk about why their insect eggs had a 100% hatching rate.
Shen Xiuming and Song Sanniang, who were holding the larvae at the time, looked at each other and answered in unison: "We two have a good foundation, and the eggs are developing well."
Of course, Liu Hongxin did not believe their explanation, and finally attributed the 100% hatching rate of the eggs to the fact that the eggs were conceived by male insects.
Afterwards, Ling Chao and Ji Wei's seven insect eggs also successfully hatched into larvae, which made him even more convinced.
After all, except for a very small number of Zerg races, it is the male Zerg that lays eggs. The remaining Zerg males do not have that function at all, and the hatching rate of those special species is not high either.
Later, Shen Xiuming, Song Sanniang, Ling Chao, and Ji Wei also cooperated with him to draw blood, and asked him to examine them again. No matter how Liu Hongxin asked his subordinates to study, he still couldn't find the reason why Shen Xiuming and Ling Chao could lay insect eggs and hatch them 100%.
Song Sanniang originally thought that there would be six little male insects from the six insect eggs, but she didn't expect that the fourth and fifth insects that hatched at the same time would be female insects. Moreover, they showed physical fitness that was not inferior to that of the little male insects since they were young. When they were in the larval school, they set a record of two female insect larvae beating six male insects in the same school to tears.
Later she figured it out. Perhaps it was the special nature of this world that caused Xiao Si and Xiao Wu to not be too deeply influenced by her. Moreover, there were wild beasts in this world, so they didn't need to eat their other half to give birth to the next generation.
As for the seven insect eggs in Ji Wei's family, they hatched in a very regular pattern. The eldest was a male, the second was a female, and then they took turns hatching.
…
Twenty years later, Song Sanniang and Shen Xiuming's faces had not changed at all, except that they had become more mature. However, the six larvae had grown up and reached the age to marry.
Song Sanniang didn't expect that she would become a relative of Ji Wei's family.
The eldest son from Song Sanniang's family, the second son from Ji Wei's family, and the fourth and seventh sons became married.
