I don't know how long I slept. Although I was lying on the bed with my eyes closed, I felt conscious all the time.But maybe I really fell asleep, because I didn't notice when the sunlight came in through the gap in the curtain. I got out of bed and opened the curtains. The sky was so blue that I was in a bad mood. My eyes moved down, and the forest was close in front of me. Through the forest, I could see some purple areas, which should be the lavender fields in the distance. I sat on the edge of the bed and sighed. It was another inexplicable day. When will I be able to return to the ordinary and stable life of the past?

After changing into a foreign dress, I waited for a while, when there were three disturbing knocks on the door.That skinny man named Ozaki should be the assistant, I knew it must be him who knocked on the door, so I couldn't help but feel more heavy. Sure enough, it was Ozaki. He stretched out his bony hand at the door and beckoned to me, "Please follow me." I stood up after taking a deep breath. Walking in the corridor, I originally wanted to ask about my father, but after thinking about it, I forgot. It is unlikely that I could get anything out of this assistant. I was taken to a room similar to a general hospital consultation room, but there were no nurses here, and a computer-like machine was placed on the central table. I saw the man in white robe staring at the monitoring screen of the machine yesterday. screen.

"Sit here." The man in the white robe raised his chin and pointed to the chair in front of him. I sat down as I said, while the assistant stood at the door. The man in the white robe stared at the screen for a while and typed the keyboard, and for a while he looked at the file folder beside him. After a long time, he turned his head and said to me: "I'm going to ask you a few questions next, please answer honestly." "Okay." Anyway, just do it. At first, he asked me general questions about my recent health status and medical history, which was very similar to the consultation during a health checkup, except that he asked very detailed questions. Then, when the direction changed, he asked me if my menstrual period was normal recently, what was the last time I had a period? When is menstruation coming, he even asked this sentence:

"Have you ever had sex?" Since his questions were very embarrassing, I kept my head down to answer them, but when I heard this question, I couldn't help raising my head, and my cheeks were hot, "Do you even have to answer this question?" "It's very important." The man said indifferently, "Yes, or not?" "……No." The man seemed quite satisfied, and nodded to type on the keyboard.The gaze of the assistant behind me kept making me uncomfortable. "Are you used to measuring your basal body temperature every once in a while?"

"No." "En." He stroked his cheek with his left hand, pressed a button with his right index finger, and kept his eyes on the screen. "Excuse me," I said, "what on earth do you want me to do? I heard that you are going to such lengths to treat a person who is important to Japan, but what does that have to do with me answering these questions?" The man turned a deaf ear and just stared at the screen intently. After a while, he said in a businesslike tone: "You don't have to think about anything, just obey and do as you are told. Don't worry, what we do will not hurt you cause any bodily harm."

"But……" "All in all," the man continued typing on the keyboard, "we asked you to help with the consent of your father, so please trust us." "I know my father was involved in this, but..." The man in the white robe didn't seem to want to talk to me, but he winked at the assistant behind him, who came over and grabbed my arm. "What do you want to do?" "Be quiet, it's just a blood draw." The man in the white robe said while preparing the syringe. After the blood test, I was taken back to the room. Not long after, the assistant brought in a cart with breakfast. There were sandwiches, salad, soup, a pot of coffee, a pot of orange juice and a large bottle of water on the plate. After the assistant went out, I moved all these foods to the iron table, and then sat on the iron chair to eat this late breakfast.Although I have no appetite at all, eating is the only behavior that can make me feel my daily life. Unfortunately, the taste of sandwiches, salads and soups is not very good. The ham is too salty and the soup is too thick. I can't help but drink two Large glass of water.

After eating, I stayed in a daze for a while, seeing no one came in, so I drank coffee and looked out the window. Soon I felt the urge to urinate, so I opened the door and went out to the corridor, but to my surprise, the skinny assistant put a chair by the door to sit in the corridor and read a book. "Do you want to go to the bathroom?" the assistant asked sharply, I had no choice but to nod slightly, then the assistant looked at the watch for some reason, and then said something unbelievable: "Please bear with me a little longer." I thought I heard it wrong, "What?"

"I said, please go to the bathroom later." The assistant's tone was very rude. "Why? Isn't it okay to go to the toilet?" "This is to meet the needs of the inspection." The assistant said: "We must make your bladder saturated." "What inspection? Do you want to..." "Please turn around and go back to your room." The assistant pointed behind me. I had no choice but to go back to the room and sit at the table looking at the leftover breakfast as before. It turned out that they deliberately made the dishes very salty to make me drink more water. This is also the reason for the wide variety of drinks.

What the hell are they trying to do with me?I endured the discomfort in my lower abdomen, and the uneasiness struck again. After about thirty minutes, I opened the door again, and the skinny assistant with the vicious appearance was gone. I didn't know what to do, so I decided to wait and see if he would come back. After another fifteen minutes, I couldn't take it any longer, so I walked out of the room.The skinny assistant was still missing. I was walking in the corridor looking for someone, and I wanted to ask him to let me accept the inspection as soon as possible, but the rooms on both sides of the corridor were silent, and I felt like I was walking in ruins.

Turning the corner, I saw the sign of the toilet, and I breathed a sigh of relief, and I walked in without hesitation. After using the toilet, I walked down the hallway to go back to my room, and found a door was open, and as I was going through the door, voices came from inside. "This is different from the original agreement!" I was taken aback and stopped. It was my father's voice. "Didn't we agree not to use ovulation medicine?" "I didn't make such a promise with you, I just said that I wouldn't force her to ovulate." The man in the white robe said.

"Isn't it the same? Listen, Ju Zi is only eighteen years old. If you give such a young woman a hormone compound drug, God knows what the drug reaction will be!" "Because she is young, there is no need to worry. The cases of severe side effects on ovulation drugs are all elderly women." "Stop talking nonsense with me, where did your statistics come from?" "This is the information we obtained internally, and Mr. Shi's, it's pointless for you to argue with me. The most important thing now is to increase the success rate of the experiment." "Increasing the number of eggs does not necessarily increase the success rate. If it succeeds, one egg is enough. If it fails, it is useless to use three or four eggs." "Make several nuclear transfer eggs at the same time, and then choose the most suitable one for implantation. You should understand that this is the best way." "Just one is enough. All in all, I don't allow you to use any hormonal compound medicine including ovulation medicine." "It's really nerve-wracking. I'm the one who has the power to decide." "Teacher Ujiya," another person spoke at this moment, the little man who brought me here yesterday, "Please follow Fujimura-sensei's instructions, you may regret it if you don't cooperate." "Another threat? How despicable." Suddenly someone grabbed my shoulder, and I turned around in surprise. The assistant named Ozaki was looking down at me with his sunken eyes. "What are you doing?" he asked. "Ah...uh..." I didn't know how to answer. The assistant seemed to have thought of something, but his expression changed, and he asked me with a grim expression: "Did you run to pee?" His tone was as fierce as his expression. I shrank back and nodded slightly. "You fool! Didn't I tell you to hold back?" "But I haven't been able to find you, and I can't help it..." "Human bladders are not so easy to rupture, really..., now we have to start from scratch." Thinking about being scolded like this without making any serious mistakes, I couldn't help but shed tears, and the assistant just smacked his lips when he saw this. "What happened?" A voice came from the room, and a man in a white robe came out, and the assistant told him what happened, as if I had committed some heinous crime. "That's it." The man in the white robe sighed, "That can't be helped. You are also at fault for this matter. You didn't take her seriously. Well, let me explain to her." He smiled at me Said, "Come inside, please." Walking into the conference room, the first thing I saw was my father. He was sitting at the end of the long and narrow conference table.Next to my father was the little man from yesterday, and next to the little man was the citrus-scented man, neither of them looking at me at all. A man in a white robe asked me to sit on the chair in front of me. "I'm really sorry for making you feel uncomfortable." He also sat down. "It's our fault. We didn't make it clear to you. At least we should explain the inspection content to you." I looked up at him. He went on to say: "The tests we have to do are roughly divided into three items, the first is blood test and urine test, these two are mainly to detect the value of hormones, and the last one is ultrasound examination, which is to detect eggs in the ovary state of development." "Eggs...? What do you want to do with my eggs?" "I can't tell you this right now." The man shook his head, "In short, the above examinations must be performed every day, and the ultrasound examination must first fill the bladder with urine to obtain a clear image, so you Got it? So please don't take any action without authorization in the future, please inform me or the assistant if you need anything, he should have told you where the call bell is, right?" "Do I have to ask for your permission every time I go to the bathroom?" "That's right." The man nodded. I took a peek at my father, and he still maintained the same posture. I vaguely understood why the man in the white robe brought me into this meeting room. He wanted me to witness the situation of my father with his own eyes, so as to threaten me to be obedient. "I see." I replied. The man in the white robe showed a strange smile, "What a good boy." "However, can I have a private conversation with my father?" I saw my father startled. The smile on the face of the man in the white robe disappeared immediately, and soon he smiled and said: "Let's find time, there are too many things to do now.... Ozaki!" The assistant walks in. "Take Miss Juzi back to the room, and bring a pot of water in." I followed the assistant and slowly walked out of the conference room. My father seemed to want to stand up, but the short man next to him grabbed his sleeve.
