          "No… I can't let Shen Shen see this.".

  Shen Gusi had not yet had time to hide the panic expression on his face. He opened his mouth to call out "Shen Shen", but swallowed his words after seeing Xu Jiashen's warning look.

  "He Zhou, what a coincidence, we meet here."

  He knew that Shen Shen didn't like them being too intimate in front of He Zhou.

  "I came for a re-examination, and I met him on my way out, so we came together." He Zhou explained, fearing that Shen Gusi would misunderstand.

  On the way here, he told Xu Jiashen that he was fine on his own, but his mother insisted on having Xu Jiashen take care of him. He Zhou knew very well that his mother was trying to bring them together.

  But liking someone is not something that can be forced. If he liked Xu Jiashen, he would have been with him in high school. Why wait until now?

  He had no feelings for Xu Jiashen, but he felt sorry for Shen Gusi who had feelings for Xu Jiashen.

  He Zhou could see the disappointment in Shen Gusi's eyes that he was trying hard to hide.

  Oh, what a sin.

  People always like to have a deep obsession with things that they cannot get.

  "Yeah, I understand."

  Shen Gusi said softly, his face showing no emotion, and his previous panic faded away.

  He took a step to the side to make way for them: "If you have something to do, go ahead and do it. I'll be gone in a moment."

  From beginning to end, Xu Jiashen didn't say a word, and except for a few warning glances, his eyes hardly ever fell on Shen Gusi.

  Pushing He Zhou's wheelchair, he was about to leave.

  It was only after He Zhou shouted to stop that they stopped.

  "Wait a moment." He said to Xu Jiashen with some dissatisfaction.

  Perhaps it was because he had known Shen Gusi for so many years, He Zhou always felt that something was wrong with Shen Gusi today. Not only did he see their overreaction, but he had been keeping his hand holding the medical record book behind his back ever since.

  There must be a problem.

  He Zhou wanted to ask clearly, but he saw that Shen Gusi's eyes were wandering, his cheeks were unnaturally red, and he could hear his heavy breathing from a certain distance.

  "Gu Si, what's wrong with you? You don't look right."

  Shen Gusi didn't know what was wrong with him. He just felt his head was very heavy, so heavy that his neck seemed unable to support it.

  He shook his head, trying to make the double image disappear, and then he felt dizzy.

  Amid He Zhou's exclamation, Shen Gusi lost consciousness.

  When he woke up again, he was lying on a hospital bed.

  The exact same scene reminded Shen Gusi of what happened a few years ago. He also woke up slowly on the hospital bed, and the first person he saw was He Zhou.

  It's He Zhou again this time.

  The same scene reappeared. Shen Gusi was stunned for a few seconds. His brain worked slowly before he realized that this was the present.

  "You're awake. Are you thirsty? Do you want some water?"

  Shen Gusi shook his head: "Thank you, I'm not thirsty, I'm..."

  "You had a high fever and fainted." He Zhou took over Shen Gusi's words, leaning back in his wheelchair and looking at him with his head tilted.

  "Fainted."

  Fainted?!

  Shen Gusi suddenly wanted to struggle on the bed.

  Where are the medical records? Where are the medical records?

  He didn't remember what happened after he fainted, but Shen Shen was next to him before he fainted.

  Supporting his weak body, he searched the entire bed, but after searching in vain, Shen Gusi couldn't help but panic.

  Could it be that Shen Shen took it away? Does that mean he already knew about it?

  Shen Gusi thought anxiously.

  He was not prepared. The moment he decided to abort the child, Shen Gusi had already treated it as a secret that only he knew.

  "Are you looking for this?"

  He Zhou stretched out his hand, and Shen Gusi looked over and saw that he was holding his medical record.

  "Gu Si, shouldn't you explain why a man like you would go to the obstetrics and gynecology department? Your name is on it, so it shouldn't be someone with the same name as you."

  Shen Gusi avoided his gaze and did not answer.

  Even if he didn't say it, He Zhou had guessed it. Even though things seemed a little absurd, after excluding all the impossibilities, the remaining one, no matter how incredible it was, was still a fact.

  "You're pregnant."

  Shen Gusi was stunned for a moment and remained silent.

  "The child is Xu Jiashen's, right?"

  The author has something to say:

  Eliminate all the impossible, and whatever remains, no matter how incredible it is, is a fact.
