Part 2
Yun Yingzhi: “…”
He paused, and his voice immediately dropped several levels. “No, you misunderstood. I thought I had a terminal illness just now.”
The middle-aged doctor, who had been watching the siblings’ farce, chimed in, “It’s not a terminal illness. Heâs just pregnant.”
Yun Yingzhi: “…”
Hearing the doctor’s words, Yun Yingyao breathed a sigh of relief and said, “Thank goodness itâs not terminal. Heâs just pregnant and… just? Wait, what?”
Through the video projection, Yun Yingzhi watched as Yun Yingyaoâs hands on the steering wheel trembled. “Pregnant?! Pregnant? Yun! Ying! Zhi!? Youâre pregnant?”
Yun Yingzhi: “…”
There was only a one-year age gap between the two. Although their relationship was average, they had indeed grown up together.
In all these years, this was the first time Yun Yingzhi had seen her lose her composure so completely.
She looked at him with a face full of shock.
Yun Yingzhi was equally shocked, yet he slowly nodded and said, “Yes, I’m pregnant.” After a pause, he added, “I just found out myself.” This was so humiliating; he really would have preferred a terminal illness.
Thinking it over, he felt that his pregnancy wasn’t the most important thing at the moment. The priority was to cancel the police report.
“Yingyao, hurry and cancel the report first.”
On the other end, she took a deep breath, glared at him, and silently canceled the report.
He only breathed a sigh of relief after seeing her do it.
Sob sob QAQ. He wouldn’t be the number one headline or top trending search anymore!
He had no desire to be famous in such a way.
On the other end, her voice was icy as she asked, “Who is the childrenâs other blood relative?”
Yun Yingzhi: “…”
Under her predatory gaze, he didn’t dare say he didn’t want to tell. He carefully lied: “…That day, I drank too much. I don’t have any memory.” He paused, then silently pinned the blame on Elvis-dianxia. “When I woke up, that person had run away.” He continued, “I asked the front desk because I wanted to know who the culprit was, but there were no traces left.”
Yun Yingyaoâs mental state collapsed again, and she roared at him like a dragon.
Yun Yingzhi flinched and accidentally closed the video call.
He let out a heartfelt sigh of relief, but in the next second…
He received a communication request from Yun Yinghui.
He didn’t dare answer.
After a moment’s thought, his hand shook as he rejected the call and sent a private message: [Gege, Yao-yao misunderstood. I’m not going to kill myself, and I’m not sick. I’m very healthy.]
He was testing the waters carefully, hoping she hadn’t told him about the pregnancy.
Still worried, he sent a message to her, warning: [Don’t tell Gege about my situation.]
Very quickly, he received her reply: [I already did.]
Yun Yingzhi: “…”
He only felt a wave of agony.
In front of him, Dr. Bai watched his flustered state with great interest.
A short moment later, the doctor said, “Your family seemsâ”
Suddenly, a knock sounded at the door.
The doctor looked toward it.
The person outside said, “Dr. Bai, it’s like this. Because someone called the police saying the patient in front of you is a bit… special, theyâve asked us to take good care of him.”
Yun Yingzhi: “…”
Dr. Bai: “…”
Through the conversation between the siblings, Dr. Bai had a rough idea of what kind of mix-up had occurred. He gave a hum of agreement.
With his sharp hearing, Yun Yingzhi heard the conversation between the nurse at the door and several others.
[Yes, it’s this client. His family called the police because they heard he was going to commit suicide. A lot of officers came just now, but thankfully it was all a misunderstanding.]
Another nurse obviously knew more and added: [After they realized it was an accident, they heard the patient’s family background is quite extraordinary. His brother specifically contacted us, asking us to take good care of this client.]
[What disease does he have?]
[The case files have been sealed, and his personal data is locked. However, I heard from someone who saw his file that he seems to be pregnant?]
[Wow!]
[And it seems to be two babies.]
[Impressive!]
Yun Yingzhi: “…”
He felt like his entire world was collapsing.
On second thought, the silver lining was that he hadn’t become a headline.
Yun Yingzhi: “…” His heart was bleeding.
Dr. Bai stood up and said, “Letâs go. Iâll take you to the OB-GYN department.”
Hearing this, he glued himself to the chair and refused to move.
Dr. Bai said, “This is the oncology department. Staying here is useless.”
He shook his head like a rattle and said in a tiny voice, “I don’t want to go to the OB-GYN department.”
The doctor sighed. “Whether you plan to keep these two children or terminate them, you have to go to the OB-GYN department.” He paused, then added, “According to the laws of the Perseus Empire, terminating a life when the child is not deformed is illegal.”
Yun Yingzhiâs eyelids twitched madly.
This had all happened so suddenly.
Before this, he hadn’t thought about whether to keep the children at all. Even now, his brain was a complete blank.
Dr. Bai: “Your situation is a bit special. For your own good and the good of the two lives in your belly, I suggest you see a doctor now.”
He was reluctant, but under the doctor’s persuasion, he finally stood up and moved unwillingly toward the OB-GYN department.
On the way there, Yun Yingyao rushed into the hospital to meet him.
Since he had just left her his “will” not long ago, he was unhappy that she told his brother about the pregnancy. He silently turned his head away, refusing to acknowledge her.
She stood on the other side of Dr. Bai with a cold face, also refusing to look directly at him.
According to the normal procedure, he should have waited in line, just as he did for registration earlier. However, through his brother’s connections, he skipped all that and went straight to the examination.
His attending physician was changed to another doctor, a man named Lan who looked very youngânot even thirty.
Dr. Lan and Dr. Bai exchanged professional jargon.
He couldn’t understand much of it, so his eyes darted back and forth until they landed on her.
He felt that her gaze toward Dr. Lan was very offensive, filled with suspicion.
After thinking about it, he sent her a message: [Yun Yingyao, the way youâre looking at Dr. Lan right now is very impolite.]
Yun Yingyao: [Dr. Lan is your attending physician.]
Yun Yingzhi: [Where are your manners?]
Yun Yingyao: [He looks so young.]
Yun Yingzhi: [Teacher said in the past not to judge a book by its cover.]
Yun Yingyao: [Heâs too young.]
Yun Yingzhi: “…”
They were talking past each other.
Just as he was about to say more, she sent another message: [Letâs change hospitals.]
Yun Yingzhi: [No need.]
Yun Yingyao: [Do you know what theyâre saying?]
He froze, his ears twitching as he continued to listen to the doctors’ conversation.
Yun Yingyao: [The two babies in your belly are a bit different. Theyâre very special.]
Dr. Bai said, “They are somewhat special; their forms are different.”
Dr. Lan: “The birth time is not necessarily the same. We need careful observation.”
He was a bit scared and looked at the doctors. “Dr. Bai, Dr. Lan, is something wrong with the babies?”
Both doctors looked at him at the same time.
He suddenly remembered the look of pity in the nurse’s eyes earlier, and his thoughts once again drifted toward “terminal illness.”
Dr. Lan smiled at him and said, “Don’t worry. Just relax.”
Yun Yingyao asked, “Please explain clearly. What is his situation?”
Dr. Bai said, “Mr. Yun, your second form is a white rabbit, correct?”
He nodded.
Dr. Lan: “Itâs like this. The two life forms you are carrying have different forms. One is human, and the other is a second form. It’s still quite small, so we can’t confirm the exact second form yet. It could take after you, or it could take after the father.”
Yun Yingzhi: “…”
Yun Yingyao: “Heh.”
He subtly peeked at her out of the corner of his eye and felt as if she were carrying a 40-meter-long broadsword behind her back.
He flinched and looked back at the doctors.
Dr. Bai said, “The human-form baby should be born around forty weeks. What’s uncertain right now is the second-form baby.”
Dr. Lan: “If the second-form baby takes after you, then it could be born in 30 to 90 days. In other words, in the coming period, this baby will enter a phase of high-speed development.”
Yun Yingzhiâs face twitched. This was a bit terrifying.
One moment ago he had just learned he was pregnant, and now he was hearing that a baby was about to be born.
Dr. Bai added, “Of course, if this baby takes after the other father, it might also develop rapidly in the early stage and then slow down. When it will finally be born would be unknown.”
Hearing this, she let out another “Heh.”
At this moment, he and the two doctors all had the illusion that if the other father appeared here, a real 40-meter-long broadsword might actually manifest in her hand.
He flinched, feeling that her aura today was a bit scary.
Dr. Lan said, “Mr. Yun, because we don’t know the specific situation of the second-form baby in your belly, we hope you can come back for a check-up twice a week.”
His lip twitched. This had all happened far too suddenly.
He didn’t want to come back at all, especially to the OB-GYN department. But thinking about it, if he didn’t come, he might wake up one day to find a second-form baby had been born.
So…
Was the baby more like him or like Elvis?
What was Elvisâs second form again?
A massive question arose in his mind.
He looked at the doctors, gave an obedient “Okay,” but was still completely bewildered.
Walking out of the hospital, he wondered what to do now.
Return to Fanse Academy?
He should go back, right?
Ah, rightâtomorrow she had to leave with other genius students for special training.
He looked at her.
She grabbed his wrist.
He froze, looking at her in a daze.
She pulled him onto a floating car and went straight to the First Hospital of the Imperial Star.
Despite his resistance, she used the excuse “Big Brother told me to bring you” and had him undergo another round of examinations.
The judgmental Yun Yingyao once again requested a highly experienced doctorâmeaning an older one.
During the check-up, he held onto hope, praying the previous diagnosis was wrong.
The result was exactly the same.
He felt very regretful. The diagnosis was correct; he really had two babies of different forms in his stomach.
