The confirmation of the baby’s gender left everyone with mixed emotions. When a normal pregnant woman went to the hospital for a maternity checkup, the doctor could not tell the family the gender directly, that would be illegal, and often, the parents did not know if their baby was a boy or a girl until after the baby was born.
Now, the baby was only about 12 weeks old, and they already knew the baby was a boy.
Lan Yarong said, “By the way, I’m responsible for the baby’s skin, the boy’s skin does not need to be too white, or is it better to look good in a healthy wheat color? I’ll pay more attention later.”
Qin Lu agreed, “If a girl looks white, others will only praise her for her white skin and beauty. If a boy is too white, he will be called Little White Face.”
Lin Manluo followed closely and said, “The bridge of the boy’s nose should also be a little tall, I will fill the baby’s nose with more cells later. And eyebrows, do you guys like sword-eyebrows, double sword-eyebrows, linear eyebrows or meteor eyebrows?”
Lan Yarong replied, “For boys, sword eyebrows are more imposing?”
Qin Miao said lightly, “I also think the sword eyebrows are handsome.”
The boys: “???”
The topics discussed by several girls made the boys confused a little. They could not understand the specific differences between several eyebrow shapes.
Yue Xingwen said with a smile, “With so many people worried about the baby’s facial features, this child will definitely be a handsome guy in the future!”
Lan Yarong said, “Of course.”
Zhuo Feng helplessly reminded Lin Manluo, “When the child was born, the eyebrows did not grow yet, so will it be too early if you guys worry about which eyebrow shape looks good now?”
Lin Manluo said calmly, “This is called planning ahead, planning in advance! Although the baby’s eyebrows grow slowly, we can lay down the hair follicles that grow them in advance ah!”
Lan Yarong, “That’s it, the eyebrows grow from the hair follicles, right? We draw the hair follicle cells in the shape of sword eyebrows where his eyebrows will be, and in the future he’ll look great when they grow out.”
As a medical student, Liu Zhaoqing could not help but be impressed. “Awesome! In this way, he won’t even have to trim his eyebrows later, and the miscellaneous hair around him will be less than the average person?”
Lan Yarong made a joke and said, “What are those Korean-style semi-permanent eyebrow tattoos? We are permanent good-looking eyebrows cells that come from his mother’s womb, and the baby is so lucky to meet us.”
The boys: “…”
The girls actually planned for the baby’s eyebrows, eyes, nose contours and shape from the mother-fetus stage. Which hospital in the world could have cosmetic surgery stronger than ‘mother-fetus cosmetic surgery’?
The care from the girls was awesome.
Ke Shaobin said seriously, “Will it be possible for our baby to debut by his appearance only in the future?”
Xu Yishen narrowed his eyes and smiled, “Do you want to give him prenatal education by the way?”
Zhuo Feng could not cry or laugh and said, “Is this to cultivate multidisciplinary and comprehensive talents? For example, Xingwen reads poems for the baby, Pingce recites formulas to the baby, Qin Miao tells the baby about ancient history from the mother-fetus stage, and Qin Lu then teaches the child about the seven continents and many countries on Earth.”
Everyone: “…”
The baby would collapse if 12 people did the prenatal education together, right? The baby would go straight to insanity when he was born.
Listening to everyone talk more and more strangely, Jiang Pingce calmly corrected the topic back, “How is your work progressing?”
We’re sorry for MTLers or people who like using reading mode, but our translations keep getting stolen by aggregators so we’re going to bring back the copy protection. If you need to MTL please retype the gibberish parts.
Lan Yarong reported, “The baby is developing a bit fast, and I’ve been replicating the epithelial cells.”
Tef Wlcukfc rjlv, “P’w klat rfclbg rlrafg Ojc, atf wermifr jcv vfgwlr tjnf yffc olclrtfv. Qtfc klii atf yjys’r ybcfr rajga ab vfnfibq? Prc’a la alwf ab rajga qgfqjglcu atf ybcfr bo atf ktbif ybvs jr kfii?”

Xu Yishen said, “The bones are Pingce’s responsibility, but he’s too busy to do it alone, does Qin Lu want to help out?”
Qin Lu readily agreed and said, “No problem, I don’t have many tasks at hand, let me help.”
Liu Zhaoqing quickly assigned the task. “Qin Lu is responsible for the bones of the entire upper body, Pingce happens to be doing the genitourinary system, the task is heavier, and after that, he is responsible for the lower limb part. Then, Pingce will come back to my side to help construct the skull.”
Neither of them had an opinion, and began to divide the work to make bone cells.
At this moment, the surrounding ‘room’ suddenly spun around.
Because everyone was in cell form, some were spherical, some were flat stars, and there were some triangles, shuttle, thin strips… They had no hands and feet, they could not stand at all. There was a sudden shake around them and everyone started falling around, especially the spherical ones, rolling straight down with a grunt and hitting the surrounding cells and hitting them dizzy.
At this time, Yue Xingwen had a flat shape, and he was directly shocked as if he had sat on a slide, sliding to the bottom at once, and colliding with Jiang Pingce, who was trying to make bone joints.
Both of their eyes were almost next to each other, and they could clearly see the lines in each other’s pupils.
Yue Xingwen was stunned and asked, “What happened?”
Jiang Pingce: “…”
It was uncomfortable to see each other so closely.
Xu Yishen was deep inside the heart when a sudden ‘earthquake’ nearly stopped the fetus’ heart. He hurriedly replenished the cardiomyocytes, and shouted loudly while making blood, “It’s likely that something is wrong with the mother!”
Ke Shaobin blinked his eyes and whispered, “It’s not a miscarriage, right?”
Liu Zhaoqing said seriously, “It’s hard to say. The first three months of fetal development are very critical. From the fourth month, the umbilical cord and the mother’s connection will become closer and closer. The fetus itself has a complete circulatory system, and the probability of miscarriage and premature death is reduced. But our baby is only 12 weeks, three months, and it’s still very dangerous.”
Sure enough, a mechanical voice sounded in their ears: “Due to the mother accidentally breaking her foot while walking and falling down the stairs, the fetus is at risk of miscarriage, please do your best to save it!”
Upon hearing this, everyone was completely stunned.
They were now a group of cells lodged in the mother’s body. They would need the mother’s supply of nutrients to ensure the child was born successfully. In case something went wrong with the mother, the child might not be saved as well?
Lin Manluo said nervously, “What should we do ah? When a pregnant woman falls down the stairs, will the baby still survive?”
Xu Yishen’s tone also became very serious as he said, “Everyone try to make sure that the organs in your area of responsibility are working properly! I will make the fetus’ heart beat faster and restore the blood supply to the whole body, try it!”
When everyone heard this, they returned to their posts.
The surroundings were still vibrating, all the passageways swaying around, and Yue Xingwen was dizzy from the shaking, but he managed to keep his balance as best he could, sliding all the way back to the dermis to repair the cells damaged by the mother’s violent movements.
Xu Yishen was the most stressed one.
Once the fetus’ heart stopped beating, resulting in ‘the fetus died in the belly’, the outcome of miscarriage could not be avoided. And once the baby was aborted, they would fail this course, and such a long time of effort would be in vain!
Although everyone did not say anything, they had grown attached to this child after so much time and care.
The child’s heart was replicated and filled with cells, constructed personally by Xu Yishen. He knew exactly how big the atrium and ventricles were and where the valve openings between them were—— He knew the baby’s heart better than his own heart.
Lan Yarong and Yue Xingwen had been busy for so long, doing a good job of the epidermis and dermis layer defense barrier of the baby’s whole body, and the muscles in the child’s short legs and small arms were also striated muscle cells constructed by Yue Xingwwen himself.
The students were left busy with various other organs, tissues, and pipes.
This child must not have a miscarriage!
At this moment, everyone reached a consensus at the same time—— Protect their baby, the mother would be sent to the hospital to be treated by a doctor when her body was damaged, while the damage of the baby’s body, they would have to fix it themselves!
Xu Yishen was as busy as a spinning top, creating a large number of blood cells in a short period of time, allowing these cells to follow the blood vessels and be transported to all parts of the baby’s body.
Other students also took out the fastest speed and began to repair the area they were responsible for.
Everyone listened to the ‘thump, thump’ of the fetal heartbeat that seemed to grow faint in their ears, and were nervous as if their own child was about to miscarriage. Everyone was afraid to speak, trying their best to save this little life.
They were the cells in the fetus and they were also critical in addition to maternal factors for the fetus whether it could survive or not!
The shaking around them gradually stopped, indicating that the mother’s body had been moved to a safe place.
Everyone worked hard to replicate and fill the gaps in cells in various parts of the fetus’ body, and gradually with the circulation of a large number of fresh blood cells, the fetal heart became regular again.
The mechanical voice: “You are doing well, the doctor said that the baby was saved and the pregnancy can continue.”
Everyone: “……”
What a false alarm!
Ke Shaobin could not help but say, “Me as a person who has never been in a relationship, was simply happier to hear the words ‘the baby is saved’ than when I got an acceptance letter from Hua’an University?”
Yue Xingwen laughed, “This baby has a great life! Thanks for senior brother Xu’s hard work.”
Xu Yishen, who was about to go crazy, finally breathed a sigh of relief, “Luckily, it’s fine, otherwise it would have been a waste of work before.”
Liu Zhaoqing reminded him, “Don’t take it lightly, continue to follow the law of fetal development, step by step. As long as this baby is not born, we can’t be careless for a day.”
Xu Yishen said, “That’s right, let’s pay attention!”
Everyone did not dare to joke around anymore and got serious.
At 13 weeks of pregnancy, the liver began to produce bile, the kidneys began to secrete urine into the bladder, and the fetus’ eyes drew closer.
The students responsible for the corresponding parts of the body got busy according to the developmental patterns. Soon, the liver, made by Xin Yan’s own hands, secreted the first drop of bile; the kidney, made by Jiang Pingce, also produced urine without any problems. At this time, the fetus had some of the primary functions of a human being. Although it was still very weak, every heartbeat, liver, kidneys and other organs worked, prompting everyone—— This was a lively little life.
At 16 weeks of pregnancy, eyebrows and eyelashes began to grow.
According to the girls’ preferences, Lin Manluo made two sword-eyebrow shaped hair follicles for the fetus. Tiny hairs slowly grew out from the follicles, the fetus’ eyebrows were not yet clear, but they already had a nice shape.
How could a little handsome guy identified by girls not have thick eyelashes? Therefore, the hair follicles arranged by Qin Miao on the eyelash area were also very dense, and this child would be born with long and thick eyelashes.
At 17 weeks of pregnancy, the fetus was growing rapidly, and its weight increased more than twice!
Everyone began a new round of busyness, and it was obvious that their baby’s body was growing rapidly.
At 20 weeks of pregnancy, the fetal reproductive organs were completed. This part was Jiang Pingce’s responsibility, and the baby’s reproductive system function was not completely developed until adolescence. They only needed to straighten out the entire system, and did not make any mistakes.
Under everyone’s hard work, the pregnancy quickly passed the halfway mark to 20 weeks, when the fetus, at this time, had begun to move.
Noticing the baby’s movement, everyone was really in tears!
From a small fertilized egg cell, and now had small hands and feet that could move slowly as the organs and system functions throughout the body were gradually taking shape. After personally participating in this process, they realized that each of them was born like this. The miracle of the Creator made everyone very emotional.
Since the respiratory, circulatory, genitourinary system, digestion, nerves, and other important systems had been built by everyone, they only needed to continue to increase the number of cells throughout the body according to the rate of fetal growth in the second half of the 20-week pregnancy, so that the organs gradually mature as the body grew.
Some details of additions, such as hardening of bones and hearing formation, were carefully done according to the course prompts.
In the blink of an eye, the pregnancy reached 38 weeks and the fetus was about to enter the pelvis.
The mechanical voice prompted: “At 38 weeks of pregnancy, the fetus has matured and is about to be born, please be prepared!”
When everyone heard this prompt, they felt a sense of tension of ‘becoming a parent for the first time’.
Liu Zhaoqing said, “I have never been so nervous at the operating table in the hospital!”
Yue Xingwen was excited. “We’re going to have a son!”
Jiang Pingce said calmly, “It’s finally going to be born.”
Everyone: “…”
You two were so tacit with each other, weren’t you? It sounded so strange to say that at the same time.
Ke Shaobin suddenly made a suggestion and said, “Should we give the baby a name?”
Xu Yishen narrowed his eyes and said, “It’s necessary. Just, what’s a good surname for a baby of 12 of us?”
Liu Zhaoqing teased, “Our C-183 Research Group’s team leader is Xingwen, and the baby follows the team leader’s surname, what do you think?”
They were now in a cell form, blinking collectively in agreement.
Liu Zhaoqing said, “Xingwen, you’re from the Chinese Department, you pick the name, everyone agrees that the baby will take your surname.”
Ke Shaobin added, “After all, you can still buy oranges for your son.”
Yue Xingwen: “…”
Before, he just learned this skill of giving an orange, buying the oranges for the son to get the designated target to stand in place.
Was it really ‘happy to be father’ this time?!
Lol, magic trick with orange!!
Thank you for your translation 💙🤍💙🤍💙🤍
Lol Xingwen and Pingce🤣
I caught up with the updates! Thank you for the translation~ you’ve also worked hard
Happy for their first child! I’m really attached to this baby and hope it won’t just disappear after the examination 🙁
although I’m quite sure that’s the fate assigned to it anyways…
Xidangpa 😂
