Part 2
After Elvis took Yun Yingzhi to dinner, he escorted him back to the dormitory.
Multiple times, Yun Yingzhi wanted to speak up and tell Elvis about Madam Yun’s demand, but he simply couldn’t bring himself to say it.
He felt that if he said it, he would be far too shameless.
Back at the dorm, once Elvis left, his three roommates immediately questioned Yun Yingzhi about his relationship with Elvis.
Yun Yingzhi didn’t want to talk. He used the excuse of needing to wash up and took his pajamas into the bathroom.
Taking off his clothes, the warm water washed over his body, making him feel comfortable.
Under the warm flow of water, he looked down and saw his own stomach.
He wasn’t sure if it was an illusion, but he felt…
His belly seemed to have grown a bit larger. No, it was a noticeable protrusion.
Yun Yingzhi: “…”
Wait, he had clearly been controlling his appetite lately and trying to eat as little as possible. How could he have gotten fat from eating?
Yun Yingzhi subtly recalled what others on the Star Network said about him.
[I heard the second son of the Admiral’s Manor is useless except for his beauty.]
His eyelids jumped. Yun Yingzhi turned off the shower and looked at himself in the mirror.
Through the reflection, his protruding abdomen seemed even more obvious.
His brow furrowed slightly, and his lips thinned into a line. He put on his pajamas and walked out of the bathroom.
Droplets of water that hadn’t been wiped away trickled down Yun Yingzhi’s hair one by one. He was already born beautiful, and with the decoration of the water droplets, his entire being exuded a sense of allure—it was a heart-stoppingly beautiful sight.
Yu Feiwen subconsciously looked away, not quite daring to keep looking at Yun Yingzhi for fear of falling for him.
The other two roommates also subconsciously averted their gazes.
In the next moment, the three of them heard Yun Yingzhi’s distressed voice: “Have I gotten fat?”
Ji Xiaobo replied without even looking at Yun Yingzhi, “No, you’re not fat. You’re not fat at all!”
Jing Haomiao added, “Yingzhi, although you’ve been eating a tiny bit more, you know your own constitution. You never get fat no matter how much you eat.”
Yun Yingzhi countered, “But my stomach has clearly gotten bigger.”
Hearing this, the three of them turned their gazes back to Yun Yingzhi.
Following his lead, they looked at his abdomen. Sure enough, it did seem to have grown by two sizes.
After a pause, Yu Feiwen said, “…Is it possible you just ate too much tonight?”
Yun Yingzhi scratched his hair and placed his hand on his abdomen, and then…
And then Yun Yingzhi was stunned.
No… no way, right?
He felt his stomach move.
He suddenly remembered what he had said to Yu Feiwen and the others before. He had said he was particularly hungry lately, his appetite was incredibly voracious, and he always felt like something in his belly was constantly stealing the food he ate.
Could there be some kind of parasite in his belly?
Suddenly, he remembered what Ji Xiaobo had said to him.
He had said that his mother was especially able to eat when she was pregnant.
Yun Yingzhi shook his head, feeling that this thought was simply preposterous. He was a boy; how could he possibly be pregnant…
?
A question mark slowly formed in Yun Yingzhi’s brain.
He remembered what the other roommate had said at the time.
Generally speaking, males didn’t have the ability to bear children. However, some males with special second forms were exceptions; this group of people could conceive children.
Yun Yingzhi was in a daze, completely bewildered.
He walked to his seat and sat down, opening his personal optical brain to search for related information. Then, he saw a piece of popular science that shocked his world view.
[Can males give birth?]
[Yes.]
[Depending on the different second forms, the time the child spends inside the father or mother varies. For example, for some breeds of little white rabbits, the time spent in the parent’s body is…]
[30 days.]
There were even some shorter than 30 days, such as flying insects and so on.
Of course, not everyone followed the gestation period of their second form. The vast majority of people were pregnant for ten months; only a small portion of people experienced such occurrences.
According to this group of people, it was “really good luck.” It felt like after just a few days of eating and sleeping, the child was there; the child came very easily.
Some even carried for a few days and directly gave birth to an egg, making it feel as if they had picked up a child for free.
Of course, some people had very bad luck. For example, some people with second forms like elephants would have their gestation periods infinitely extended—carrying for three to five years was not a dream.
Yun Yingzhi: “…”
Yun Yingzhi subconsciously touched his belly, and then he felt something moving inside again.
He thought to himself: No way, no way, no way…
It probably wouldn’t be.
He felt it was necessary to go to the hospital and check.
The three roommates comforted Yun Yingzhi again, telling him he didn’t look fat at all.
Yun Yingzhi forced a smile. One hand couldn’t help but constantly move to his abdomen. He wasn’t sure if it was psychological or something else, but he felt that inside, perhaps…
There really was something stealing his food, making him feel hungry all the time.
Just like now—he was hungry again.
Resisting the urge to have an extra meal, Yun Yingzhi tried to do other things to distract himself. He couldn’t keep thinking about these mess of things.
On a hidden projection he opened—it was also a coincidence—he saw information about Elvis.
Elvis possessed 4S-level talent, and the ability he had was a space-type ability. This meant…
It would be very difficult for him to have his own bloodline.
After thinking for a bit, he searched for Elvis-dianxia’s name to look up his related information.
With this search, he saw many battle videos of Elvis. He used his space ability with supernatural skill; he was also called the strongest space ability user by some.
Most importantly, Elvis was a non-restricted space-type ability user, which meant his space was versatile.
By the time Yun Yingzhi realized it, he was completely immersed in Elvis’s battles. Lines of space inscription construction methods flashed through his mind.
A massive amount of inspiration formed in his head. He immediately opened the source weapon design interface, recording the inspiration he had captured in scattered inscription patterns.
When the bell rang, Yun Yingzhi realized he had stayed up all night again.
Absently going to morning drills with his three roommates, Yun Yingzhi thought to himself while eating breakfast that he had to secretly go to the hospital alone to see if he was sick.
He felt like there was a tumor in his belly, the kind with a particularly voracious appetite.
Of course, although he had been overthinking wildly for a long time yesterday, after one night, Yun Yingzhi still didn’t believe he could be pregnant.
Compared to that, he thought the idea of a parasite in his belly or a “breathing tumor” was more realistic.
Yun Yingzhi wanted to sneak out of the academy and see a doctor by himself.
On November 27th, Yun Yingzhi slept for an entire day. He found that he was not only able to eat, but also especially able to sleep.
On November 28th, Elvis asked to meet Yun Yingzhi, but he was rejected.
Yun Yingzhi felt the abnormality in his abdomen again and felt that he might be terminally ill. He had to go to the hospital to check the situation early.
Midday, November 29th.
Having had the experience of escaping the academy before, Yun Yingzhi now understood that besides escaping at 8:00 PM when the energy shield was weak, there was another way: finding a classmate with a space ability to help.
Yun Yingzhi put on casual clothes, a hat, and a mask. He spent a large sum of money, and his heart bled as he settled the payment.
He suddenly realized a key issue.
He could actually manufacture source weapons with space abilities specifically for escaping Fanse Academy. They could be sold or rented out; any ability warrior could use them at any time. It would be extremely convenient.
Getting rich was just around the corner.
No.
For him now, it wasn’t the time to think about these mess of things. What he needed to do now was go to the hospital.
Even though technology was so advanced, many illnesses remained incurable even now. While science was progressing, various diseases were also working hard to evolve and “patch” themselves, which was always very troubling.
Running out of Fanse Academy, Yun Yingzhi took a floating bus toward the hospital.
The First Hospital of the Imperial Star required advance booking. After hesitating, Yun Yingzhi transferred buses three times and went to a remote suburban hospital.
Even in the suburbs, there were many people at the hospital.
He explained his situation to the front desk and registered for an appointment.
Waiting with an anxious heart, it was finally his turn after half an hour.
A doctor in a white coat looked at Yun Yingzhi and said with a smile, “You’re very young; you don’t need to scare yourself.”
Yun Yingzhi nodded obediently.
The doctor asked Yun Yingzhi some more questions and, after a routine check-up, moved to the imaging stage.
Soon, the images were taken.
Looking at the images on his personal optical brain, Yun Yingzhi couldn’t quite understand them. He was extremely anxious, especially since his stomach moved again at this moment. He subtly felt that if it were a tumor, he wasn’t far from death.
No, don’t scare yourself.
Yun Yingzhi resisted the urge to go online to diagnose himself. The diagnoses from the Star Network were usually terminal illnesses and would only scare him.
He encouraged himself: Don’t worry, there won’t be a problem.
Suddenly, he heard a medical staff member say, “He’s still so young, only 19 years old, yet he’s already like this. Sigh.” A heavy sigh followed.
Yun Yingzhi’s eyelids jumped. He lifted his eyes to look at the medical staff.
A female medical staff member’s gaze met Yun Yingzhi’s. She nodded to him, her eyes full of pity.
Yun Yingzhi: “…” So, did he really have some incurable disease?
Yun Yingzhi sniffled and opened his personal optical brain. Looking at the four people pinned at the top of his friend list, tears welled in his eyes.
He hadn’t even fulfilled his filial duties to his Gege yet. What would happen if he died?
He had to leave his inheritance to Gege first.
Yun Yingzhi suddenly realized that he wanted to leave all his inheritance to Gege, but he…
He didn’t seem to have much of an inheritance.
At this moment, Yun Yingzhi felt particularly unwilling. He hadn’t even been able to manufacture a source weapon suitable for Yun Yinghui. Was he going to die like this?
More and more tears welled in his eyes. He felt that at least before he died, he had to manufacture a series of source weapons for Yun Yinghui.
It didn’t matter if Yun Yinghui couldn’t use them; his comrades-in-arms could.
At this time, the person he wanted to contact most was actually Yun Yinghui, but he opened the chat box with Yun Yingyao instead.
Yun Yingzhi: [Yingyao.]
Yun Yingyao replied instantly: [You escaped from the academy; I’ve told Gege.]
Yun Yingzhi: “…”
Wait, how did Yun Yingyao know he had escaped? And how old were they? Wasn’t skipping school normal? She actually snitched to Gege?
Yun Yingzhi was a bit unhappy: [How old are you? You’re still snitching? Are you a kid in kindergarten?]
Yun Yingyao: [Gege told me not to let you have puppy love.]
Yun Yingzhi: “…”
Fine, he had snitched too.
Yun Yingzhi paused, avoiding the topic.
None of that was important. What was important was preparing his last words in advance: [Yingyao, Huai Boshe is very annoying. Listen to me and don’t get too close to him. Also, Gege actually cares about you a lot.]
Yun Yingyao: […Have you not woken up yet?]
Yun Yingzhi: [Yingyao, although we always quarreled when we were little, I’ve actually always liked you very much. You’re my only Meimei.]
Yun Yingyao: […]
Before Yun Yingzhi could continue his final instructions, Yun Yingyao asked: [Where are you right now?]
Following Yun Yingyao’s question, an electronic voice announced: [Will Number A366 please enter Consulting Room 3.]
Yun Yingzhi trembled, his entire being appearing frail and helpless. He looked blankly at the message from Yun Yingyao.
Yun Yingyao called him.
Yun Yingzhi took a deep breath and rejected the call. With the mindset of someone heading to their death, he bit his lip and entered Consulting Room 3.
