Although she was initially flustered by the news that Chen Yu wanted to take her home for the New Year''s holiday and the sudden mention of a child, Jounouchi Hiromi soon recovered under Chen Yu''s reassurance, after all, she and Chen Yu could no longer be separated.


    It wasn''t that Jounouchi Hiromi had to be with Chen Yu, but she clearly understood that as a half-dragon, half-human Transcendent, she could never choose a normal person to be her husband.


    As for leaving Chen Yu and choosing someone else as her husband then turning that person into the same kind of being as herself after marriage... That option had never been in Jounouchi Hiromi''s considerations from the beginning.


    Just like Chen Yu initially refused to ept her confession, neither she nor Chen Yu could ept the idea of a stranger entering their lives; after all, Transcendents were different from normal people.


    If Jounouchi Hiromi hadn''t shown up at his door and taken the initiative to engage in an intimate rtionship with Chen Yu, feeding the cat dog food, she would not have be Chen Yu''s girlfriend.


    And even after she became Chen Yu''s girlfriend, it still took her a lot of effort and energy to get him to share his secrets with her.


    Just as Chen Yu said, she could no longer leave him.


    So although she was initially caught off guard by Chen Yu''s message about taking her home for the New Year''s holiday, Jounouchi Hiromi soon readjusted her emotions and turned her attention to the sterileboratory for which she had obtained a usage permit, and to her research project.


    "Regarding the mouse embryo in vitro culture experiment, Mr. Chen Yu, what method do you think is better? I don''t think the traditional in vitro embryo culture experiment is useful; the Artificial Womb is too different from traditional in vitro embryo development experiments." Jounouchi Hiromi asked Chen Yu as they walked to theboratory together.


    "Not using traditional embryo development experiment methods? Then, Hiromi, what do you n to do? Usually, improvements to the mouse embryo in vitro culture experiment focus on the culture medium; do you have any new ideas?" Chen Yu didn''t respond directly to Jounouchi Hiromi''s question but instead posed a question back to her.


    "The experiment I envision should be to verify the role of the Artificial Womb, not just toplete a mouse embryo in vitro culture experiment," Jounouchi Hiromi frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, then exined her idea to Chen Yu: "Moreover, the treatment n I designed involves taking the developed embryo out of the mother''s womb and cing it into the Artificial Womb toplete the gestation process. The design of the Artificial Womb uses an artificial centa to simte the exchange of substances between the embryo and the mother, which ispletely different from the traditional mouse embryo in vitro culture which uses a culture dish and nutrient solution."


    After listening to Jounouchi Hiromi''s opinion, Chen Yu also nodded slightly, and approvingly said, "Right, the traditional mouse embryo in vitro culture experiment grows mouse embryonic cells, while ording to your design, what will be nurtured is an embryo that has already imnted and formed the amniotic sac.


    From this point of view, I think you need to redesign the experimental process and apparatus. After all, ording to your concept, the artificial centa is indispensable in this experiment, but the existing artificial centas are designed for human premature infants and are not suitable in size for mouse embryos."


    "I understand, I will redesign the experimental process and apparatus," Jounouchi Hiromi nodded, clearly agreeing with Chen Yu''s opinion.


    The two reached the floor where the sterileboratory was located but didn''t go in, just nced at the general situation inside theb from outside.


    Entering the sterileboratory required changing into sterileb gowns and cleaning, disinfection; if it wasn''t necessary, neither of them wanted to go through that hassle.


    After confirming the status of theb from outside and handing over the usage permit issued by Professor Kube to theb''s administrative staff, confirming theb''s ess rights, Chen Yu and Jounouchi Hiromi left the floor where the sterileboratory was located.


    "By the way, Hiromi, since you''re going to do the experiment, let me assign some people to assist you. I''ll have Nakagawa take a couple of Trainee Doctors over to help. They can also take care of any physical tasks," Chen Yu naturally wouldn''t let his girlfriend exhaust herself, and after a brief consideration, he assigned his most reliable personnel to assist Jounouchi Hiromi.


    Jounouchi Hiromi didn''t decline; after all, even though she could do the experiment by herself, it would be too tiring to handle everything alone.


    "Also, about the experimental apparatus, once you have the design, you can go to Kyuuzai and have him contact the manufacturer for you. If it can''t be done, then I''ll help you make it," Chen Yu said. Besides hardworking research assistants, the experimental apparatus was a key focus of Jounouchi Hiromi''s project, and Chen Yu didn''t n to use the Necromantic Space''s already constructedboratory to make the experimental apparatuses for Jounouchi Hiromi; instead, he encouraged her to go through the standard channels first.


    "I understand, I will contact Ryosen-kun," Jounouchi Hiromi also understood Chen Yu''s intention and nodded without furtherment.


    The two headed towards the hospital wards. Since the experimental matters had been settled, Jounouchi Hiromi naturally wanted to report the news to Egawa Sae and also needed to check on Egawa Sae''s Healing situation during her conference visit in Kanazawa.


    Egawa Sae''s condition that day in the ward was quite good; she was currently leaning on the hospital bed eating tonics brought by her assistant.


    Upon seeing Jounouchi Hiromi and Chen Yu enter the ward, she hurriedly greeted Jounouchi Hiromi, "Doctor Jounouchi!"


    "Egawa-san, how do you feel today?" Jounouchi Hiromi greeted Egawa Sae then exined the treatment n to her, "Your healing n has been decided. However, since this is an unprecedented treatment, to ensure its smooth progress, I will first conduct a simted experiment, so you will need to rest for a while.


    During this time, don''t feel burdened, as long as you actively cooperate with our hospital''s doctors, there won''t be any problems. Moreover, this time will allow the fetus to continue to develop; the longer the child stays inside the mother, the greater the chances of sess for the treatment n!"


    "Thank you, Doctor Jounouchi, I will actively cooperate with you!" Egawa Sae, hearing Jounouchi Hiromi put it this way, also nodded contently, expressing her willingness toply with the treatment.


    Seeing Egawa Sae so cooperative, Jounouchi Hiromi felt much relieved and, while reviewing the medical records, she discussed some dietary issues with her before she and Chen Yu left the ward.
