Cherish Moments (Complete)

Unexpected Discovery

Wei Ying prided himself on his punctuality and dedication. His work at the bustling downtown office was more than just a job; it was a sanctuary where his sharp mind could solve complex problems and his charisma could smooth over any negotiations. He thrived in the chaos of spreadsheets, deadlines, and client meetings. But today, something felt off.

The morning started like any other. Wei Ying arrived at the office early, his dark hair neatly tied back, and his usual smile in place. He greeted his colleagues with a nod and quickly immersed himself in a sea of emails and reports. As the hours ticked by, he couldn't shake the nagging feeling of discomfort in his lower abdomen. He brushed it off as a result of skipping breakfast.

By noon, the pain had intensified, a dull throb turning into sharp stabs. His vision blurred as he tried to focus on the screen. "Just a bit more," he muttered, pushing through the haze. But his body had other plans. A sudden wave of dizziness overcame him, and before he could react, darkness enveloped him.

Wen Ning and Nie Huaisang had decided to drop by Wei Ying's office for a surprise lunch. The two had known Wei Ying since their university days and had maintained a close bond. Wen Ning, with his quiet and gentle demeanor, was the calming presence in their trio. In contrast, Nie Huaisang, with his flamboyant personality and keen sense of observation, was the spirited one.

As they reached the office, they were met with an unusual stillness. The receptionist informed them that Wei Ying hadn't left his desk all morning. Worried, they made their way to his office, calling out his name. When there was no response, a knot of fear tightened in Wen Ning's chest.

"Ying-ge, are you in there?"

Nie Huaisang's voice trembled slightly as he knocked on the door. When there was no answer, he pushed the door open. The sight that greeted them made their hearts stop. Wei Ying lay sprawled on the floor, unconscious.

"Call an ambulance!"

Wen Ning's usually calm voice was laced with panic as he knelt beside their friend, checking for signs of life. Nie Huaisang fumbled for his phone, hands shaking, and dialed emergency services.

Within minutes, the paramedics arrived, quickly assessing Wei Ying's condition. As they lifted him onto the stretcher, Wen Ning and Nie Huaisang exchanged worried glances. This was more than just exhaustion.

The sterile white walls of the hospital room were a stark contrast to the vibrant chaos of Wei Ying's office. Wen Ning and Nie Huaisang sat anxiously in the waiting room, their worry deepening with each passing minute. Finally, a doctor approached, her expression serious.

"Are you friends of Wei Ying?" she asked. They both nodded eagerly.

"He's stable now, but we need to run some more tests. There's something unusual we discovered."

"What do you mean by unusual?" Nie Huaisang asked, his voice barely above a whisper.

The doctor hesitated for a moment before speaking.

"We found that Wei Ying has a unique condition. He was born with a functioning womb. This could explain some of the symptoms he's been experiencing."

The revelation hit them like a tidal wave. Wen Ning's mind raced, trying to process the information. A thousand questions flooded his thoughts, but all he could manage was

"Can we see him?"

The doctor nodded. "He's awake now, but still weak. Please be gentle."

Wei Ying opened his eyes to the bright lights of the hospital room, feeling disoriented and groggy. The sight of Wen Ning and Nie Huaisang's worried faces brought a small measure of comfort.

"Hey, what happened?" Wei Ying croaked, his voice hoarse.

"You collapsed at the office," Wen Ning said softly, sitting beside him.

"The doctors found out something... unusual about you."

Nie Huaisang took a deep breath, glancing at Wen Ning for support before speaking.

"Ying-ge, they discovered that you have a womb. You can get pregnant."

Wei Ying's eyes widened in shock, his mind struggling to grasp the magnitude of this revelation.

"A womb? How is that even possible?"

The doctor stepped in, her demeanor professional yet kind.

"It's a rare condition known as persistent Müllerian duct syndrome. It means you were born with both male and female reproductive organs."

Wei Ying's world spun as he tried to process the information. This discovery was not just a medical anomaly; it would change everything about how he viewed himself and his future. But as he looked at his friends, their concern and unwavering support gave him the strength to face this new reality.

"I don't know what this means for me," Wei Ying said quietly

"but I guess we'll figure it out together."

Wen Ning placed a reassuring hand on his shoulder.

"We always have, and we always will."

And with that, Wei Ying knew he wasn't alone on this unexpected journey.
