“哇——哇——” 產房區此起彼伏的嬰兒啼哭，仿佛一首充滿生機和喜悅的生命交響曲，奏響了人類新時代的序曲。一向嚴肅、沉默寡言的Frank顧，也被這天籟之音所感染，臉上流露出少見的笑容。他緊張而又興奮地在產房區的走廊上來回地走動著，目光不時掃向那一排排的產房。
The relentless cries of newborns echoed through the maternity ward, a vibrant symphony of life brimming with vitality and unbridled joy. It was as if they were composing the prelude to a new, wondrous era for humanity. Frank Gu, typically solemn and reserved, found himself unexpectedly moved by this celestial melody. A rare, serene smile graced his face as he paced nervously yet excitedly along the corridor, stealing furtive glances at the row of delivery rooms.
十年，十年磨一劍。從走出校門到現在，已經足足十年了，Frank顧從一個初出茅廬意氣風發的毛頭小子，終於成長為一個值得尊敬的頂尖科學家。他的辛勤研究終於結出了碩果：三百個鮮活的小生命，振聾發聵地宣示著人類科技終於走上了一個新的台階！而三百個嬰兒的啼哭，就是人類對所謂上帝造人的無情嘲笑，是人類在Frank顧的帶領下，在上帝麵前傲然挺立的宣言！今天，就是Frank顧在科學史上載入青史留名的一天！然而這一切對Frank顧來說並不重要，最重要的是，Ellen一定會為這個消息而露出她那甜美動人的笑容，那才是Frank最大的滿足。
A decade, a decade spent honing the blade. From the day he left school until now, a full ten years had passed. Frank Gu had grown from an enthusiastic fresh-faced youngster into a respected preeminent scientist. His diligent research had finally borne fruit: three hundred vibrant new lives, proclaiming loudly and clearly that human technology had ascended to a new level! The cries of three hundred infants were humanity's mocking laughter at the so-called God who created life, a bold declaration that under Frank Gu's leadership, humanity now stood tall and defiant before God! Today, Frank Gu carved his name into the granite of scientific history! However, none of this mattered to Frank Gu. What mattered most was that Ellen would surely wear that sweet, charming smile upon hearing this news—that was Frank's greatest satisfaction.
從大學時代第一眼看見Ellen，Frank便不可救藥地愛上了她。她宛如一顆灼熱的恒星，驟然閃現在二十多歲，一直隻知道埋頭苦讀的Frank的世界裏，霎那間照亮了他的生命，灼痛了他的眼眸，也俘獲了他全部的忠誠。
From the first glimpse of Ellen in college, Frank was hopelessly, irretrievably smitten. Like a supernova igniting in the vast emptiness of his world of textbooks, she blazed with a brilliance that both dazzled and consumed the 20-ish bookworm. Her radiance wasn't just captivating, it branded itself onto his memory, demanding his unwavering devotion.
Ellen是著名生化公司高氏集團的創始人兼總裁。短短五年間，高氏集團從一個隻有十幾人的實驗室，一躍成為全球最大、最有影響力的生化公司。Frank就是在Ellen回母校出席捐款儀式上第一次見到她。他就像一隻想吃天鵝肉的瘌蛤蟆，遠遠地看著光彩照人、巧笑倩兮的女神。然而令他驚訝的是，在如此耀眼的光環下，Ellen依然保持著鄰家女孩般的形象，是那麽的親切，那麽的令人心生向往。
Ellen was the founder and president of the famous biochemical company, Gao's Group. In just five years, Gao's Group has grown from a small lab with only a dozen people to the world's largest and most influential biochemical company. Frank first met Ellen when she returned to her alma mater to attend a donation ceremony. Despite knowing he was out of his league, he felt a pang of longing as he watched her from afar, captivated by her radiance. However, what surprised him was that under such a dazzling aura, Ellen still maintained the image of a girl next door, so kind and so yearning.
於是，Frank義無反顧地放棄了自己最心愛的文學專業，放棄了從小就立下的獲得諾貝爾文學獎的宏願，申請從大一重新開始學習生化專業。他隻有一個念頭，就是妄想著有一天，能夠親近心中的女神Ellen，哪怕隻是遠遠地仰望她一眼也心滿意足。
So, Frank resolutely gave up his beloved literature major and his childhood dream of winning the Nobel Prize in Literature. He applied to start over as a freshman in biochemistry, all in the delusional hope that one day he would be able to get close to the goddess Ellen in his heart.
Frank的刻苦努力沒有白費，短短六年間，他便完成了從大一到博士的全部學業，順利獲得了博士學位。隨後，他向高氏集團生命實驗室遞交了一封求職申請。
Frank's diligent efforts paid off. In just six years, he completed all his studies from freshman to Ph.D. and successfully obtained a Ph.D. degree. Subsequently, he submitted a job application to the Life Science Laboratory of Gao’s Group.
高氏集團的每一個工作崗位，都吸引著全球上千名頂尖人才的激烈競爭。對於其中的難度，Frank毫不在意，在準備了簡曆、成績單、論文列表以及工作經驗等材料後，他還與眾不同地附上一封情真意切的自我介紹信。在信中，他坦誠地表達了對 Ellen 的仰慕之情，字裏行間充滿了對她的愛慕和渴望。他希望能夠加入高氏集團，不僅是為了實現自己的科研夢想，更是為了能夠與 Ellen 朝夕相處，近距離接觸這位他心中的女神、夢寐以求的繆斯。
Every position at Gao's Group ignites fierce competition from thousands of the world's top talents. Frank, acutely aware of the difficulty, remained unfazed. After meticulously preparing his resume, transcripts, publication list, and work experience, he added a unique and heartfelt self-introduction letter. Within its lines, he openly declared his admiration for Ellen, each word brimming with his love and yearning for her. His desire to join Gao's Group wasn't solely fueled by his scientific aspirations, but also by the chance to be near Ellen, the goddess in his heart, his muse personified.
或許是因為Frank深厚的專業知識，亦或是他文學係熏陶下的文采，更或是他與眾不同的坦率與大膽，最終他的申請引起了Ellen的注意，並被邀請參加最後一輪的麵試。
Perhaps it was Frank's deep professional knowledge, or perhaps it was his literary talent cultivated in the literature department, or perhaps it was his unique frankness and boldness. In the end, his application drew Ellen's attention and he was invited to participate in the final round of interviews.
麵試時，Ellen親自接見了Frank。她沒有問他專業上的問題，也沒有追究他那封大膽的求愛信，而是拋出一個直擊靈魂的疑問：“你願意改變曆史嗎？”
During the interview, Ellen met with Frank personally. She didn't ask him any professional questions, nor did she question him about his bold love letter. Instead, she posed a soul-searching question: "Are you willing to change history?"
自此，Frank將自己封閉在高氏的實驗室裏，日複一日，年複一年，幾乎足不出戶。而今日，便是他十年磨一劍，今朝試鋒芒之時！
Since then, Frank became a fixture in Gao's laboratory. Days bled into years, and he rarely stepped outside its walls. Today is the day when he will finally put his ten years of sharpening to the test!
“緊急呼叫！顧博士，顧博士，請速到22號產房！產婦難產，情況危急，請您立即到場！”突然間，廣播中傳來焦急的呼叫聲。
"Dr. Gu, Dr. Gu! Emergency in delivery room 22! The patient is in critical condition during labor. Please report there immediately!" A frantic voice crackled over the loudspeaker, shattering the calm.
“22號情況如何？！”Frank一把推開門，焦急地問道。
"Delivery room 22! What's happening?" Frank barreled through the door, his voice laced with urgency.
“應該是臍帶繞頸。產婦一用勁，嬰兒心跳就降低。我們不敢繼續，要不要實行剖腹產？”
"Nuchal cord suspected. Heart rate drops significantly with each contraction. We might need to consider a C-section."
“盡量不要，剖腹的話，誌願者會承受更大的痛苦，而且也令我們的實驗有瑕疵。我們要純自然的生產。”Frank一邊說著，一邊帶上手術手套。
"We want a natural birth. If we do a C-section, the volunteer will suffer more pain, and it will also compromise our experiment."Frank put on his surgical gloves as he spoke.
病床邊，助產士和護士正在安慰著產床上的誌願者。羊水早已破了，誌願者身下一片狼藉。她雙手緊緊抓住一個護士的雙臂，豆大的汗珠沿著鬢角滴落下來。
At the bedside, midwives and nurses are comforting the volunteer stretched on the delivery bed. Her water has broken, and the sheets beneath her are rumpled. She clings tightly to one nurse’s arms, and large beads of sweat trickle down her temples.
“王小姐？”Frank的聲音平靜而堅定，他走近時試圖安撫這位誌願者。“現在，和我一起做深呼吸。吸氣……” 他輕輕地把手放在她的肩膀上引導她，“……然後慢慢呼氣。” Frank的手輕輕移到她的腹部，熟練地用複雜的手法進行按摩，既輕柔又堅定。
"Miss Wang?" Frank's voice was calm yet firm as he approached, aiming to soothe the volunteer. "Take a deep breath with me. Inhale..." He guided her with a gentle hand on her shoulder, "...and exhale slowly." Frank's touch shifted to her stomach, where he administered a complex massage with practiced movements, both gentle and firm.
看到旁邊儀器上顯示的嬰兒心跳已恢複到了146下，Frank低下頭，輕聲地問：“王小姐，好一點了嗎？我們再試一次，好嗎？”
Glancing at the monitor, Frank saw the reassuring rise in the fetal heart rate to 146. He leaned closer, his voice soft yet determined, "Miss Wang, feeling stronger now? Shall we try pushing again?"
王小姐輕輕點點頭。
Miss Wang nodded slightly.
“好，吸氣，用力，再用力，加油，快出來了。看到頭了，……”
"Good, inhale, push, push harder, come on, you can do it, it's almost out. I can see the head, ..."
“啊……”隨著王小姐嘹亮的叫聲，22，一個新生命終於來到了這個世上。
"Ah..." With Miss Wang's powerful cry, 22, a new life finally arrived in the world.
Frank抱過22，奇怪的是，她沒有像其他新生兒那樣哇哇啼哭，竟然還嗬嗬地看著Frank笑，又大又黑的眼睛好奇地看著四周。
Frank cradled 22 in his arms. Strangely, she didn't cry like other newborns, but instead let out a soft giggle as she looked up at Frank with her big, curious black eyes scanning the room.
“小調皮，你是最後一個出生的。”說完，他輕輕地在她的額頭上印下了一個吻。22的小手輕輕地拍著Frank的臉，在他臉上印下了第一個小手印。
"Little rascal, you're the last one to join us," Frank said softly, before gently placing a kiss on her forehead. 22's tiny hand reached up and patted Frank's face, leaving her first mark on his cheek.
