Song Qiuyu was also completely baffled, unable to imagine how Jiang Xiao could help her.
“Simply put, it means helping your wife drink it.”
The doctor said this without changing his expression or skipping a beat.
Ever since Gender Conversion Disease was made public, this wasn’t the first time he had seen a TS woman pregnant. After seeing it so often, even with something this embarrassing, he could say it with a straight face.
In recent years, medical students were only a bit uncomfortable at first, but after seeing it enough times, even when mentioned or witnessed, their hearts remained completely calm.
But clearly, the two young people in front of him couldn’t stay calm at all.
Huh? Drink it? Was that the meaning they were thinking of?
Song Qiuyu’s heart trembled.
And the doctor who said this was utterly calm himself, making the two of them, who were busy being embarrassed, seem weird.
But then she remembered that her own mother had gone through this too, and she slowly began to calm down, though the burning heat on her cheeks refused to fade.
Jiang Xiao, ears red, had some images flashing through his mind.
He quickly shook off those thoughts, desperately suppressing the primal urge.
A big hand slipped into his pants pocket.
“In short, drinking it is the help. The reason such patients leak milk is because of high estrogen secretion, so having the man help out works very well.”
The doctor continued writing. “You can start when you get back today. See how it goes first.”
“Although this is just a normal physiological phenomenon and there’s no need to be embarrassed, if it stains your clothes, and in this heat, the clothes are thin…”
The doctor’s gaze turned deep. “You wouldn’t want to see that happen, would you?”
Hearing that, Song Qiuyu blushed and looked at Jiang Xiao, who just happened to be looking at her.
Their eyes met.
Neither of them made a sound.
After all, they weren’t professionals—just ordinary people experiencing this for the first time. They were so embarrassed they couldn’t make a single noise.
The doctor gave a few more instructions.
Song Qiuyu and Jiang Xiao only nodded, committing the medical advice to memory.
When they walked out of the hospital, they both felt afraid to look each other in the eye.
“Xi’er, how are you feeling now?” Jiang Xiao tested.
“I…”
Song Qiuyu hesitated for a long time, then picked up her phone, opened QQ, and typed a message in their chat: “It seems like again…”
The message was just three words and an ellipsis, but Jiang Xiao instantly understood everything.
He frowned and silently thanked the inventor of the bra. If it weren’t for bras, how awkward would his wife’s situation be?
He decisively grabbed her small hand and walked back the way they came. “Come on, let’s hurry back!”
“Okay!”
Song Qiuyu clutched her phone tightly. The shame and panic that had been building in her heart slowly dissipated. She held Jiang Xiao’s hand tighter, greedily enjoying this sense of security that was all hers.

On the way back to the rental apartment, they passed by the school. Song Qiuyu immediately spotted two figures running toward them.
“Lao Song! Lao Jiang!”
“Are you two okay? Why did you suddenly take leave together to go to the hospital?”
Lin An and Xie Zhuran stopped in front of them.
“Uh…”
Song Qiuyu was stunned. They didn’t know yet. It seemed the internet hadn’t spread that fast.
But Xie Zhuran and Lin An hadn’t seen anything—they hadn’t even looked at their phones all morning, having been squeezed dry by their advisor.
“Bad timing. The advisor gave us another job today—working as the prop crew for the documentary crew next door. You two missed the whole morning, so this afternoon there’s probably a lot of work.”
Lin An adjusted his glasses, sighing with emotion. “The Director Department really is a jack of all trades. Even prop crew is our job.”
“Yeah. So if it’s something serious, you might as well take the afternoon off too.”
Xie Zhuran frowned as he looked at his two roommates, who seemed oddly off.
“Serious? Not really…”
Song Qiuyu subconsciously took half a step back, keeping a distance from them.
Can’t get too close. If they smell anything, that would be too embarrassing…
“So—what exactly is going on with you two?”
Xie Zhuran rubbed his chin, looking Song Qiuyu up and down.
“Xi’er, do you want me to tell them?” Jiang Xiao offered, seeing how shy she was.
“No… no need.”
Song Qiuyu shook her head and clenched her hands. It’s just a pregnancy—what’s there to be embarrassed about?
This was great news! Lao Lin and Lao Xie weren’t strangers. Telling them and sharing the joy would be nice.
She mustered her courage to speak.
But just then, a small car zoomed past her, and the sound of the wind drowned out the words “I’m pregnant.”
What reached Xie Zhuran and Lin An’s ears was already an incomplete sentence.
“Lao Song, what did you say? We didn’t catch it. Say it again?”
Xie Zhuran said.
Seeing this, Song Qiuyu bit her lip. After failing to confess on her first try, she grew flustered.
She glanced at Jiang Xiao, found encouragement and courage in his eyes, cleared her throat, and opened her mouth again.
But before she could make a sound, Xie Zhuran’s phone beeped, receiving a message.
The words Song Qiuyu was about to say got stuck in her throat.
Why is Old Man Heaven doing this to me?!
“A Li?”
Seeing the sender, Xie Zhuran was slightly surprised. Opening the message, his eyes suddenly went wide.
Jiang Li had sent a video from a marketing account. In the video, Song Qiuyu and Jiang Xiao were going to the hospital for a pregnancy checkup.
The clip had nearly ten thousand views and over a thousand comments.
After sending the video, Jiang Li also sent a text: “Zhuran-ge, is this true?”
Seeing this, the first thought that came to Xie Zhuran’s mind was: why did Jiang Li contact him first instead of asking the people involved?
But he quickly understood his girlfriend. After all, AI now wasn’t what it was four years ago. In some areas, it could really fool people and temporarily replace humans.
Jiang Li did this just to avoid disturbing Lao Song and Lao Jiang.
His girlfriend may seem cold on the outside, but inside she was a total family person—classic cold on the outside, hot on the inside!
He thought for a moment, then turned his phone screen toward Song Qiuyu and tentatively confirmed, “Lao Song, are you pregnant?”
Hearing this, Song Qiuyu froze. Then she closed her eyes, took a deep breath, quietly accepted her fate, and nodded, admitting it.
Lin An’s eyes narrowed into slits.
He never thought he’d see his male roommate turn into a girl and marry another male roommate, and then see that same male roommate get pregnant.
Then Jiang Xiao’s nose twitched. He clearly caught the milky scent emanating from his wife, realized the severity of the situation, and didn’t delay. “Yeah, that’s right. Xi’er and I already confirmed it at the hospital. But we have something urgent now and need to head back to the rental apartment. Let’s talk later.”
“Alright, catch you later.”
Watching Jiang Xiao lead Song Qiuyu away, Lin An seemed thoughtful.
Xie Zhuran replied to Jiang Li’s message, put away his phone, and also looked over. “Looks like among us, Lao Song and Lao Jiang are having a kid first. Ready to be an adoptive father, Lao Lin?”
“Of course I’m ready.”
Lin An smirked slyly. “But human cubs are quite troublesome, aren’t they?”
Hearing that, Xie Zhuran sighed too. They had dodged it through four years of college, but in the end, they couldn’t avoid it during the postgraduate entrance exam.
Oh well, having an adopted son might not be bad… or maybe an adopted daughter?

Jiang Li, after confirming it once more with both her brother and sister-in-law, quickly relayed the good news to the elders at home.
The moment the news came out, the Jiang family exploded.
