Chapter 52 Dedicated to You for Life! Adding More for Alliance Master Vision Has Boundaries! Two days later, it was Zhao Yingqun's routine prenatal checkup.

Little Yu Xi in her belly was already 28 weeks along and it was time to go to the hospital for a 4D ultrasound.

The principle of a 4D ultrasound is to use the echo of sound waves and the Doppler effect to create an image, observing the fetus's facial features, limbs, and body details.

Zhao Yingqun lay on the examination bed, Lin Xian stood beside her, and the two of them, along with the doctor, turned their heads to look at the image generated on the imaging device.

"Oh my, this child is really pretty. Look at those facial features." The doctor pointed to the unusually abstract image on the screen. "Look at the bridge of that nose, so high, small nose and small mouth."

Lin Xian squinted, trying to understand the Picasso-Van Gogh-style image on the imaging device.

"Where? Is that a face? I can't make it out."
"You have to look carefully."

The doctor smiled slightly and pointed it out to Lin Xian:

"See, here's the outline of the face, here are the closed eyes, can you understand it now?"

Lin Xian nodded.

Now, he could roughly understand it.

But after all, it was sound wave imaging, very abstract.
"I can see it, though."

Zhao Yingqun smiled and looked up at Lin Xian: "Do you think she looks like Yu Xi at all?"
"I can't tell," Lin Xian smiled helplessly. "How can you tell anything from this?"
"I think she looks a lot like her."

A look of love appeared in Zhao Yingqun's eyes as she stared at the quiet little face on the 4D ultrasound imaging device:

"This is kind of our first meeting with her, isn't it? Although she can't see us, we can see her in advance through the power of technology."
The doctor glanced at Lin Xian, then at Zhao Yingqun, and nodded, "She does look a lot like her mother." Then she turned to comfort Lin Xian:

"But children still change during their growth process. What you see on this 4D imaging isn't accurate. Maybe in two months when she's born, she'll look more like her father."

Lin Xian felt like time was really flying by.

While he had accomplished nothing these past few months, little Yu Xi had slowly grown up, and in the blink of an eye, she was about to be born!
"When is the estimated due date?" Lin Xian asked.
"It's still hard to estimate accurately." The doctor flipped through Zhao Yingqun's examination sheet:

"Probably mid-April. If you want to book a postpartum care center, you can prepare in advance."

"Okay, get down now. The baby is very healthy, nothing to worry about. In the last two months, be careful not to overeat. Many pregnant women eat whatever they want in the last two months, causing the baby to gain weight too quickly, which makes childbirth more difficult."

The two of them silently noted it down and left with the examination book.
"So fast."

Walking out of the hospital.

Lin Xian looked up at the sun gradually climbing towards noon:

"It feels like everything is happening too fast. It feels like only yesterday I was holding Yu Xi's hand, strolling through Disneyland, but now our little Yu Xi is going to come into this world in two months."

"Isn't that because you're anxious?" Zhao Yingqun teased:

"But, it's kind of keeping my word."

"Speaking of which, there's nothing to do during the day. Since the checkup ended so early, let's go to Jing'an Temple."

Huh?

Lin Xian turned his head:

"Why are you thinking of going to Jing'an Temple?"
"To pray for blessings, peace, and make a wish." Zhao Yingqun took Lin Xian's arm:

"You, I feel like I'm in a long-distance relationship with you after we got married. I only get to say a few words to you in the morning."

"As soon as it hits 12:30, you run off into your dreams. At this rate, I might as well find a mistress in my dreams. You belong to me during the day, and her at night."
"I'd like to," Lin Xian laughed:

"But there isn't a single living person in my Ninth Dream. Where am I going to find a mistress?"

"Forget a mistress, I've been searching in my dreams for months, and I'd be so excited to hug any man I could find, even Big Face Cat or Er Zhuzi."

"Oh, you really dare to say that?" Zhao Yingqun pinched Lin Xian's arm:

"Hearing you say that, you've been having ideas in the previous dreams?"
"No, no." Lin Xian quickly shook his head.

Only a fool would take such an obvious trap:

"Actually, in the previous dreams, I was either with Big Face Cat and Er Zhuzi, or on the road to find Big Face Cat and Er Zhuzi."

"Seriously, no matter which dream world it is, I feel very relieved as long as I can see Big Face Cat. As long as Brother Face is in this world, there's hope. Even if the sky falls, Brother Face will hold it up."

"So you see, Big Face Cat probably doesn't exist in the current Ninth Dream, this future world is really no different from the sky falling."
Zhao Yingqun couldn't help but laugh when she heard the name Big Face Cat:

"According to you, Big Face Cat has become the pillar of the sea. Fine, when we get to Jing'an Temple later, I'll make a wish that you can meet Big Face Cat soon."
"Ah, that's not necessary."

Lin Xian looked at Zhao Yingqun's bulging belly and smiled slightly:

"Just make a wish for little Yu Xi, and pray that her life will be happy and peaceful."

Today was a weekday, and there weren't as many tourists at Jing'an Temple. Zhao Yingqun prayed for peace in various halls.

Lin Xian saw the once invincible, aloof ice queen CEO, now so earnestly praying for the child about to be born in her womb, and truly felt the greatness of maternal love.

In the past, Zhao Yingqun was a thorough materialist. When she heard Lin Xian talking about digging graves with Gao Yang, she laughed and said:

"It's hilarious that Gao Yang prepared so much useless equipment, and even lit candles in the corners of the coffin and brought black donkey hooves."

"Actually, from a scientific point of view, if you're really worried about gods and monsters, preparing anything is not as good as preparing a small ball."

"Why?"

This piece of knowledge really stunned Lin Xian at the time. Is this the strength of students who study abroad?
"What can you do with a ball?"
"Determine if it's a physical entity," Zhao Yingqun said without thinking:

"No matter what kind of ghost you encounter, you throw a ball at it. If the ball bounces back, it means it's a physical entity, then what are you afraid of? Two big men can't beat a physical creature?"

"If the ball goes straight through the ghost's body, it proves that this thing has no physical form, and there's nothing to say. Since you can't cause any damage to it, it's useless to use any weapons, just turn around and run."

Zhao Yingqun's rigorous scientific judgment instantly made Lin Xian laugh: "You're still reliable, I'll definitely take you with me next time there's something like this."
"Get lost," Zhao Yingqun glared at him:

"Accumulate some merit for the child in my belly. Gao Yang is really something, he dares to drag you to dig graves, how can he be so unable to distinguish between good and bad?"

"That's right, that's right."

Lin Xian nodded and passed the buck.

This was the same woman who could conduct physical experiments on gods and monsters, but now, in order to pray for peace for her child, she was closing her eyes, muttering to herself, serious and devout.

After a long time.

Zhao Yingqun got up from the cushion, put a few hundred-yuan bills in the donation box, and asked a master for a few sticks of incense. Seeing the incense burning vigorously, she left satisfied.

The two continued to stroll behind the temple, and came to a deserted rockery, looking out into the distance.
"It would be great if praying to gods and Buddhas was really useful," Lin Xian leaned on the railing of the pavilion and said softly:

"If it was really useful, I would also go and pray, hoping to find a way to break the situation."
"The current situation is really unprecedentedly desperate. Everything is stuck, and there is no way to make any progress."

"Including the worst possible future of extinction, and the promise I made to Chu Shanhe to save Chu Anqing. Now that the Genius Club gathering is over, and the other geniuses are all secretly acting, I'm too passive."

"No, strictly speaking, I don't even have the qualification to be passive. I used to be able to look for clues in my dreams, search for intelligence, and copy back some black technology. But in the current Ninth Dream, I can't do anything."

"No wonder Einstein said so categorically that the world line has stabilized and will never jump again. If this continues, there really is no way to change the future trajectory, and I can only watch this world step by step, towards the end of human extinction."

Zhao Yingqun patted the long wooden chair beside her, signaling Lin Xian to sit down: "If you encounter any difficulties, you can tell me and we can discuss it."

"I'm your wife, although I can't help you in combat or in your dreams, maybe an extra person thinking can find an extra way out."

Lin Xian nodded:

"The biggest problem now is that I can't find the hafnium alloy safe in my dreams. The entire Donghai City has been razed to the ground, there are no landmarks, and I can't tell where anything is. Even if I wanted to dig up the safe, I can't find the place."

"If I can't find the safe, I can't see the note Chu Anqing left me, and naturally I can't verify whether the dream is real or fake."

Zhao Yingqun shook her head:

"I don't think your dream could be fake." She blinked and looked at Lin Xian: "It's still an old question."

"If your dream is fake, why would the Yellow Bird go to so much trouble, abandon everything, and sacrifice her life to come back to you?"

"Because I am the Yellow Bird, so I know myself very well." Zhao Yingqun's voice was very soft, but full of power:

"You told me that the Yellow Bird knew a lot about the Genius Club, so she must have heard it from you, just like I am now."

"Analyzing it this way, the Yellow Bird and her Lin Xian must have confirmed that your dream is real, so they were willing to sacrifice everything to travel back to the past to pass on valuable information to you, so that you could enter the Genius Club as soon as possible and detect Einstein's strangeness."
"If the future Einstein saw was real, and if Einstein really had the ability to lead humanity to a bright future, then the Yellow Bird should have traveled back to the past to find Einstein, not you."
"Obviously, there is a problem with Einstein. Whether he saw a false future or was deliberately lying, in short, you have to trust the Yellow Bird, trust your so-called Yellow Bird selection; since she chose you, it means you are correct, she, and her Lin Xian, must have verified it long ago."

After a pause.

Zhao Yingqun touched her belly and continued:

"I admit that my idea is a bit subjective and biased. But from my point of view, putting myself in the Yellow Bird's shoes, without 100% certainty, I would never abandon Yu Xi and travel back in such an irresponsible way."

"Lin Xian, you have to trust the Yellow Bird, and even more so, trust a mother. What difficult reluctance did she have to endure to be willing to leave her child? It must be a very important thing, with a very important reason, that is worth her doing."

Lin Xian nodded:

"I've considered that point too, and I trust the Yellow Bird very much."

"The Yellow Bird gave me so many key hints and tips, but she never once told me to question the authenticity of the dream."

"When Yellow Bird and I went to Copenhagen on a trip, she asked me what code name I should choose when entering the Genius Club. I casually said Beethoven and Da Vinci. Yellow Bird said Beethoven was okay, but when I asked her why I couldn't choose Da Vinci, she smiled and didn't say anything."

"Looking at it now, of course I can't choose Da Vinci, because there's already a Da Vinci in the Genius Club. This shows that Yellow Bird really knows the Genius Club very well, just like you do now, and knows Einstein very well. And even more importantly..."

Lin Xian narrowed his eyes:

"The Yellow Bird must come from a more distant time and space, after 2234. This means that she and her Lin Xian actually have the ability to use time machines to verify certain things, such as..."

Lin Xian narrowed his eyes:

"What exactly happened in 1952; what exactly is the Millennium Stake; what kind of person is the president of the Genius Club, the old man wearing Einstein's face? The Yellow Bird should know all of this."

"Otherwise, why would she have to lead me in the direction of the Genius Club? I originally thought she wanted me to join the club as soon as possible to get information. But the fact is that I can't get any useful information in the Genius Club at all."

"Thinking about it now, if I really only need to use my dreams to save the world and the future of mankind, there's actually no need to join the Genius Club at all. The members here all have ulterior motives, and with Einstein's questioning rules and restrictions, it's difficult to obtain valuable information, and it's not even as good as what I get from the dream world."
"The thing that Yellow Bird has been emphasizing and guiding me to do is to join the Genius Club, including the first time she entered our lives, which was to put a fake Genius Club invitation in the front desk..."

Suddenly.

Lin Xian thought of something.
Fake Genius Club invitation.

Fake.

Could it be...

That Yellow Bird had been hinting from that time that the future Einstein saw was problematic, that it was fake?

"I don't know if I'm overinterpreting it," Lin Xian said with pursed lips, and continued to think: "But the deeper I think about it, the more problems there are with Einstein. That's why I guessed the night before that the future that Einstein saw was hijacked by some people, and that it was clearly a future of human extinction, but they forced him to see the most beautiful future."

Zhao Yingqun nodded:

"I didn't think so deeply, I just know that the Yellow Bird is the person you can trust the most and should trust the most. Her purpose is to save this world and save the future of mankind. She didn't believe Einstein, but kept encouraging you to look forward and move forward."

"Do it if it's right, and do it to the end if it's wrong."

"Lin Xian, we are the same, everyone around you is the same. Whether in reality or in your dreams, Liu Feng, Gao Yang, Chu Anqing, Chu Shanhe, Du Yao, Nangong Mengjie, Angelica, Jask, Big Face Cat, Gawain... everyone unconditionally believes in you and follows you."
"So, Lin Xian, you must also believe in yourself and believe in your dreams." She took Lin Xian's hand and held it in her palm:

"Don't be afraid of failure, don't be afraid of mistakes, you always have me behind you."
"If you really fail on the road to saving the future..." Zhao Yingqun raised her head and looked into Lin Xian's eyes: "I am willing to become the Yellow Bird again for you."

Lin Xian felt the warmth in his palm, looked at Zhao Yingqun's determined eyes, and squeezed her small hand:

"I won't let that happen."

"The purpose of the Yellow Bird's time travel is not to create the next Yellow Bird, but to cultivate a successful Lin Xian."

Zhao Yingqun smiled slightly, touched Lin Xian's smooth face, and touched the light stubble on his chin.

Then.

She took out a folded piece of white paper from her handbag.
She opened it.

Written on it were the four dilemmas that Lin Xian had listed in his study the night before when he fell asleep exhausted:

1. 1952 hides a major secret and truth - no time machine, can't go.

2. Comet arrives on Earth in 2234 - too far, can't wait.

3. Cheng Qian can be resurrected in 2482 - even more distant, no possibility of seeing Cheng Qian.

4. Human extinction in 2624 - cannot be changed, cannot find the safe, and cannot obtain any useful information.

"Lin Xian, there is actually a way to solve these four dilemmas," Zhao Yingqun pointed to the second one:

"First of all, after Du Yao successfully develops the brain nerve electrical stimulation helmet, we will take a hibernation pod to 2234."

Then she pointed to the first one:

"Then, in 2234, you will use the time machine and entangled state space-time particles to travel back to 1952 to see with your own eyes what happened this year and find out the truth about Einstein, the Genius Club, and the Millennium Stake."

Her slender white finger slid to the third one:

"After that, we will hibernate again and go to 2482 to revive the super artificial intelligence vv, so we can be even more powerful and eliminate all enemies, including Einstein, and even the mastermind behind Einstein, the real culprit."

Her finger slid down again, to the fourth one:

"Finally, after we eliminate all enemies and know all the truth, we can not only save Chu Anqing and solve the world-destroying white light, but we can also hibernate together until August 29, 2624, and watch the sunrise of that day together, the brand-new sun."

Lin Xian was about to say something.

Zhao Yingqun shook her finger to stop him:

"I know what you want to say, but I have thought about all these questions." She took out a hibernation manual from her handbag and handed it to Lin Xian:

"I studied it yesterday, and there is no problem for adults to hibernate. For children, the minimum hibernation age must not be less than 3 years old; in extreme cases, it must not be less than 1 year old; babies under 1 year old can not enter the hibernation pod under any circumstances."

"Because the meninges of babies under 1 year old are not fully developed, it will cause some substances in the hibernation pod mixture to penetrate into the brain, causing irreversible damage to the brain. Hibernation of babies under 1 year old is strictly prohibited in all countries around the world."

"I have also thought about it, we can't make decisions about Yu Xi's life for her, and we also have an obligation to accompany her to grow up. My plan is for us to accompany Yu Xi and watch her grow up to 18 years old and become a big girl, what do you think?"

"After 18 years old, Yu Xi will be grown up, able to take care of herself, and have enough mind to choose her life. If she is willing to hibernate with us to the future, then our family will go together; if she wants to stay in this era, then we two have also fulfilled our responsibilities as parents and can rest assured to set off and go to the future together."

"After 18 years, you and I will only be in our 40s, still in our prime, and it will not hinder us from carrying out the plan I just said at all."
"Who says that the savior must be those young children in anime and manga? Middle-aged people can also be saviors."

Lin Xian looked at the hibernation manual in his hand, without opening it. He turned his head.

He looked at Zhao Yingqun with some surprise:

"Your ability to act is too strong, you've thought out such a long-term plan in just one day."
"You also said that hibernating into a strange future is a very terrifying and lonely thing, and you are very resistant to hibernating. Actually, I am the same. Even if I have to wait until I am 18 years old before leaving Yu Xi, I still can't bear it."
"I can't bear it either," Zhao Yingqun said sincerely:

"But in this world, if you don't do this, is there anyone else who can do it for you?"

She looked at Lin Xian and chuckled: "It is said that couples are of one mind, you can't hide it from me. I know clearly what you have been having a headache about and what you have been anxious about during this time. Actually, it is not these dilemmas at all."

"You are so smart, you can of course think of hibernating into a hibernation pod to solve all the problems, but the price is to leave this era, leave Yu Xi, leave me."
"The Yellow Bird's last words on the beach in Copenhagen made you feel guilty and made it difficult for you to make a decision. The sense of responsibility to save the future of mankind and the sense of responsibility to accompany and protect your family - the conflict between these two senses of responsibility is the real root of your headache, hesitation, and anxiety."

For a moment, Lin Xian was silent.
Zhao Yingqun saw through him very clearly.
Hibernation.

It was an option he had been deliberately avoiding.

Before the Yellow Bird turned into blue stardust, her empty and void hands stroked his face, persuading him not to leave Yu Xi.

He also saw with his own eyes in the third dream that Zhao Yingqun had waited for him alone for six hundred years.

How could he be willing to leave them?
"I am your wife, and also Yu Xi's mother," Zhao Yingqun stood up from the long wooden chair and came in front of Lin Xian. She looked down at him:

"If saving the world and saving the future is your obligation, then raising Yu Xi and accompanying you to grow old is my obligation."

"The meaning of the Yellow Bird is not to catch you, the mantis; but that the real me will always be behind you."
"So, Lin Xian, don't have any worries. Just like what I said to you when we first met, do what you really want to do, do what you will not regret for the rest of your life."

"And isn't the plan I just said the best plan? It's just that we'll be 18 years late before we sleep in the hibernation pod. Let's raise Yu Xi together first, and then..."

She stretched out her hand, pulled him up from the long chair, and said with a smile: "Then, I will accompany you."
"To the end of the world together."
