Special Topic

In the premium audio-visual esports room on the second floor, the air seemed to freeze at this moment.

With the hundred-inch curved screen turned off, only a few dim ambient floor lamps in the corners emitted a faint blue light, casting interwoven shadows over Chen Yusheng's fair and aloof face.

"Are you sure... you really want to do this?"

Su Bai leaned back against the spacious esports sofa, his arms around Chen Yusheng involuntarily tightening a little.

A rare flash of astonishment crossed his deep eyes, and he even doubted if he had heard her correctly.

This was Chen Yusheng.

A top student with plenty of fulfilling hobbies.

At the age of twenty, a time when she should be fully enjoying her youth and embracing freedom, she actually took the initiative to propose... having a baby?

"I said, I want a baby."

Chen Yusheng did not avoid Su Bai's gaze. She looked up, her beautiful eyes sparkling with an almost stubborn determination, along with a trace of fiery passion hidden deep beneath her rationality.

Su Bai looked at her quietly.

After the initial shock, an indescribable warmth quickly spread from his chest to his limbs and bones.

In this materialistic and calculating era, a top university goddess with a boundless future was willing to endure the hardships of a ten-month pregnancy and the risk of losing her figure during her best golden years, all just to bear a child connected to you by blood.

This was not a momentary impulse.

It was because she had unreservedly given her whole heart, her whole self, along with the future she cherished so much, to you.

This was the clumsiest, yet most profound proof of love in the world.

"Why this sudden thought?"

Su Bai gently reached out, tucking a stray strand of hair behind her ear, his thumb lightly caressing her delicate cheek. "Just because you want to fight for the title of 'the first'?"

"Isn't it a bit too early to have a child now?" Su Bai's tone revealed a bit of heartache. "There are still so many projects to busy yourself with in the lab. Having a child is not a game; it will be a massive upheaval for your body and your future pace of life."

"Do you think I'm the kind of desperate harem woman who would do anything just to fight for favor?"

Hearing Su Bai's concern-filled questioning, Chen Yusheng wasn't angry at all. Instead, the corners of her mouth curled into a highly confident and intellectually beautiful smile.

"As early as half a month ago, I had already consulted a large amount of medical literature, including cross-comparative data analyses on female reproductive age and offspring quality in The Lancet and The New England Journal of Medicine."

Chen Yusheng's voice returned to its aloof and methodical rhythm, as if she were conducting a top-tier academic defense.

"From the perspectives of biology and genetics, a woman's bodily functions are at their absolute peak between the ages of twenty and twenty-four. During this period, the quality of eggs is at its highest, and the probability of chromosomal mutations is reduced to a minimum."

"Science proves that children conceived in this age group not only have the highest quality developmental environment in the womb and a very low probability of suffering from various congenital diseases after birth, but they also tend to inherit their parents' excellent genes to the greatest extent in terms of intellectual development and physical appearance."

"Not only that, but a mother around the age of twenty has a very fast metabolism. Whether it is postpartum recovery or the self-healing ability for stretch marks and pelvic repair, it is incomparable to older mothers over the age of thirty."

Chen Yusheng looked at Su Bai, her eyes bright. "Therefore, having a child at twenty is not early at all; on the contrary, it is the 'golden period' that best conforms to the laws of natural science."

Listening to this string of professional medical jargon and supporting data, Su Bai couldn't help but chuckle.

To argue for having a baby using such hardcore scientific papers—probably only the female scholar in his arms could do such a thing in this world.

"Since it's scientifically so good, why does modern society still advocate for late childbirth?" Su Bai followed her logic and asked back with a smile.

"That becomes an issue of sociology and economics."

Chen Yusheng snorted softly, her tone revealing a condescending clarity.

"The reason modern people dare not have children at this age boils down to two points: First, heavy academic workloads or careers just taking off mean they simply don't have the energy and financial resources to raise a 'money-swallowing beast'; Second, the vast majority of people are not mentally mature at twenty, and they simply cannot find a perfect partner to whom they can entrust their lives and share responsibilities."

At this point, Chen Yusheng's gaze instantly softened. Her originally iceberg-like, aloof temperament completely melted into gentle spring water at this moment.

She leaned back into Su Bai's embrace, her arms tightly wrapping around his firm waist.

"But, I don't need to worry about either of these two points."

"Academics have never been a burden to me. On the other hand, hehe, I don't need to say more, do I?"

"Indeed."

She looked up, her eyes full of pride and attachment. "Big White Goose is the strongest and wealthiest man in this world. We have top-tier medical resources and the most perfect nursing team. I don't need to squeeze into public hospitals for registration quotas, nor do I need to worry about future milk powder money and school district housing."

"Most importantly..."

Chen Yusheng stood on her tiptoes, her soft red lips gently pressing against Su Bai's ear, her voice low and lingering:

"I have already found the man who is worth spending my whole life with, the man worth bearing a life for. My genes plus your genes—if we don't leave behind a crystallization of them early on, it would simply be a waste of human evolution."

These words were clear and logically rigorous, yet every single word and sentence revealed an ultimate romance known as "absolute rationality."

Su Bai was completely convinced.

Not only was he convinced by her scientific data, but he was also moved by her unreserved deep affection.

"Alright, since Professor Chen has researched this subject so thoroughly..."

Su Bai took a deep breath, the fiery passion in his eyes seemingly able to ignite the dim air around them.

He stretched out his strong arms and lifted Chen Yusheng sideways from the spacious esports sofa in one smooth motion.

"Then, as your only male lead, how could I not cooperate with you to complete this great experiment?"

"Ah!"

As her body suddenly lifted into the air, Chen Yusheng let out a cry of surprise and instinctively hugged Su Bai's neck tightly.

That face, which often wore a precocious expression, finally revealed the bashfulness and fluster belonging to a twenty-year-old girl.

"You... why are you in such a rush..."

"To use practice to verify whether your theory is correct, of course."

Su Bai carried her, walking with large strides out of the esports room towards the master bedroom. "Since you've even prepared the thesis, we naturally have to start tonight and properly implement this project."

While walking towards the master bedroom, Su Bai silently summoned the system panel in his mind.

Under the control of his mind, the lock on Chen Yusheng from that god-tier skill representing absolute control, [Law of Causality XX], was quietly released.
