Chapter 40

To be honest, when Doufu answered so seriously, Han Shuo thought he was joking, and Meng Yuxiu also thought he was joking.

Han Shuo almost choked on his saliva after hearing this. He laughed and coughed repeatedly. After he finished coughing, he asked Doufu, "What the hell are you talking about? Men are born from their butts?"

How do men give birth?

"Where will the child go then? In the stomach, hahaha, hey, not tofu. I know your grades are bad, but I never expected you to be so lacking in common sense." Han Shuo asked a series of questions, and even after asking them, he still found it funny. He even turned to Meng Yuxiu and complained, "Tsk, the education in this era is indeed backward."

"Hmm." Meng Yuxiu neither confirmed nor denied it, but couldn't help but smile.

Now Tofu was indignant. He wouldn't argue if Tofu said his grades were bad, but he had to correct him when Tofu said he lacked common sense.

"I think you're the one who lacks common sense. Even a three-year-old knows this, and you don't? Are you out of your mind? I've thought you've been acting strange since the beginning of last semester." Doufu grabbed Han Shuo's arm and turned him around, then pointed to a table of classmates and asked, "Hey, do you guys think men can get pregnant?"

A group of students at the table: "Yes!"

Can men give birth?

A group of students at the table: "Yes!"

Han Shuo was dumbfounded, and Meng Yuxiu was also stunned.

If Doufu alone lacked basic physiological knowledge, it would be understandable; but if all the classmates at the table spoke in unison, it would also be understandable, since Pan Xiaodong had invited some of the most mischievous and boisterous students from Class 7's dormitory, who were usually glib and slick in their speech.

But when Han Shuo saw that Jiang Xiaowen was also answering seriously, his head suddenly went blank. He watched as the tofu-like figure waved flags and shouted slogans like a peasant uprising, his eyes twitching.

Do men give birth through their anus?

Everyone: "Yes!"

Doufu looked at Han Shuo smugly and said, "If men can't have children, then why do you think Pan Xiaodong married her husband?"

Pidan laughed and said to Doufu, "Han Shuo is just teasing you out of boredom. Everyone in the world knows that, but you're the only one who can be fooled by him and still answer him seriously like an idiot."

Tofu scratched his head. "Yeah, I really was stupid. But Han Shuo's acting was really convincing."

At this moment, Han Shuo was shocked by this worldview, so his brain was temporarily short-circuited, and he didn't even realize that he had been with a man.

Meng Yuxiu vaguely sensed something was wrong, but Han Shuo quietly interrupted him.

"Hey, hey, hey." Han Shuo had lost all interest in the feast. He leaned over to Meng Yuxiu, staring at him in astonishment, and said, "I've really broadened my horizons. I thought it was outrageous enough that men could get married, but I never imagined they could have children too?"

Meng Yuxiu didn't reply, and Han Shuo, seeing his thoughtful expression, asked, "What are you thinking about?"

Meng Yuxiu frowned and asked, "Does that mean all men can have children, or... only a few?"

"Damn, you actually stumped me." Han Shuo's curiosity was piqued.

He had almost been mistaken for a lunatic by his classmates because of his ignorance of the world, so this time he turned around and asked Doufu in a low voice, "Hey Doufu, tell me, are all men able to give birth or something?"

Tofu was speechless: "Are you never going to stop? Are you kidding me?"

Han Shuo clicked his tongue and said, "I'm not kidding you, I'm asking you a serious question, so hurry up and answer."

Tofu: "Of course not all of them can give birth; only the man who is the wife can give birth."

"A man who is a wife?" Han Shuo's mind was a little confused. He thought about how to make sense of what was being said next. "A man who is a wife can have children, right? So if this woman is a wife today, but doesn't want to be a wife tomorrow and sleeps with her husband, then... then does that mean her husband should have children?"

Han Shuo almost confused himself, and Doufu listened in a jumbled mess.

Seeing that he didn't understand, Han Shuo clarified, "Let me give you an example. Take Pan Xiaodong and his partner, for instance. Pan Xiaodong is the one who's supposed to be the wife, and according to you, you mean Pan Xiaodong can have children. But what if, before getting married, Pan Xiaodong discussed it with his partner and said he didn't want to be the wife, but the husband? Wouldn't it be his partner's turn to have the baby then?"

Doufu kept twitching the muscles in his face, and he looked at Han Shuo with an expression as if he were crazy. "Han Shuo, I think you really should go to the hospital to get your brain checked. What nonsense are you spouting?"

"That means only men with red moles on their earlobes can be wives. Pan Xiaodong became a wife because he has a red mole on his earlobe!"

"Holy crap." Like a tongue twister, the string of red moles made Han Shuo dizzy.

After feeling dizzy, he exclaimed, "Good heavens, this world is simply outrageous and ridiculous!" However, before he could finish being surprised, Tofu's next sentence suddenly popped into Han Shuo's ears.

Why are you so surprised? Don't you have a red mole too?

Han Shuo didn't react at first. He was stunned for a moment and asked Doufu, "What did you just say?"

"Don't you have a red mole too?"

"?" Han Shuo heard it clearly, but his mind was already filled with the image of the red mole and becoming someone's wife.

He was also surprised that Tofu said he also had a red mole, so he immediately forgot his original question.

Han Shuo pinched his earlobe in confusion, wondering why he didn't remember having a red mole before.

"I have a red mole too?..." However, after a couple of seconds of confusion, his brain seemed to snap back to normal as a crucial and potentially fatal piece of information suddenly flooded in.

Like a lightning bolt piercing the night, it split Han Shuo's head open.

The people in the courtyard were having a feast and chatting when suddenly a frightened voice rang out.

"What did you say?!!!"

Everyone in the courtyard saw Han Shuo suddenly jump up from the stool, and his expression was one of utter terror.

"What's wrong? What happened?"

"Han Shuo?"

Because Han Shuo was chatting with Doufu and the table was too noisy, Meng Yuxiu couldn't hear their whispers, so he continued to eat silently, filled with doubts about the world.

Seeing Han Shuo suddenly stand up, he quickly asked, "What's wrong?"

Under a clear blue sky, the sun shone brightly. Yet, Han Shuo felt waves of dizziness washing over him, the blinding light making him feel as if his entire body was about to sway.

He had neither the time nor the inclination to explain to others; he was in a hurry to find something, so he hurriedly left his seat and rushed straight to Jiang Xiaowen's side.

"Jiang Xiaowen, hurry up, do you have a mirror at home?!"

Seeing Han Shuo's pale face and trembling lips, Jiang Xiaowen pointed to the room, completely bewildered, and said, "There's a mirror hanging on the wall next to the door."

Han Shuo didn't even thank him before rushing back into the house.

Meng Yuxiu sensed something was wrong and got up from his stool as well.

After entering the room, Han Shuo hurriedly looked for a mirror. He found one quickly, but when he saw the blood-red mole on his earlobe in the mirror, he collapsed and his vision went black.

"What's wrong with you?" Meng Yuxiu asked anxiously when he entered the room and saw Han Shuo's pale face.

Han Shuo remained silent, breathing heavily like a terminally ill patient.

Meng Yuxiu was startled, and asked with a serious expression, "What's wrong with you?"

Han Shuo was almost out of breath. He supported his forehead with his palm and let out two weak, lifeless howls: "Ah, ah... What the hell is this... I don't remember having this thing before, when the hell did it appear?"

Meng Yuxiu stared at the spot where Han Shuo was pointing and saw a small red mole under his round earlobe. He couldn't understand why a single red mole could make Han Shuo look like this.

He asked, "Didn't you notice you had grown this before? Don't you usually look in the mirror at home?"

Han Shuo was already about to faint when he heard Meng Yuxiu's words, especially when he took a closer look at Meng Yuxiu's earlobe.

This only made him angrier.

Because, among the transmigrators, only he not only became the bottom, but also the man who could have children in this world.

For the people of this world, it's nothing unusual, but for Han Shuo from the 21st century, the idea of ​​a man getting pregnant is no different from traveling back to ancient times and becoming a eunuch.

He immediately glared, but because there were many people sitting in the courtyard outside, he could only lower his voice and roar: "My family's mirror is broken, damn it! My brother said we could make do with it and didn't buy us a new one, okay?"

Han Shuo was furious, cursing repeatedly. He pointed at his forehead and roared, "That damn mirror can only reflect above my forehead! And that mole is so tiny. If it were the same size as the one on Guanyin's head, I wouldn't need you to remind me!"

"..." Meng Yuxiu didn't quite understand why Han Shuo suddenly became so violent. He asked, somewhat aggrieved, "What's wrong with you? Why are you suddenly so angry?"

Han Shuo became the wife of a man with a red birthmark who could get married. He felt a surge of anger and frustration, and his mood became extremely depressed.

So he simply attacked Meng Yuxiu indiscriminately, "You're with me every day, why didn't you tell me I had a red birthmark?"

"..." Meng Yuxiu was even more confused, but Han Shuo was in a fit of anger at the moment, so he could only say, "Okay, then I'll tell you what you'll have on you from now on."

Han Shuo still couldn't catch his breath, "Can't you see other people's red moles?"

“I haven’t been paying attention to anyone else,” Meng Yuxiu said.

Actually, not to mention Meng Yuxiu, Han Shuo also regretted that he was so busy searching for the key person that after finding the key, he was busy coaxing Meng Yuxiu to do the mission. In addition, he always thought that he would return to the 21st century sooner or later, so he was even more reluctant to understand this world and the strange characteristics of some men in this world.

But now, the more he looked in the mirror, the more agitated he became. He rubbed his earlobes hard with his fingers, cursing, "This is fucking ridiculous! It must be that stupid novel's joke! Damn it! I'm so fed up! They only bother me, giving me marks on my dick is bad enough, but now they've given me a red mole on my ear..."

Meng Yuxiu asked, "What's wrong with the red birthmark?"

"What's wrong?!" Han Shuo collapsed into a chair in the room, scratching his hair frantically before finally letting out a low, guttural roar, "Tofu said that men with red moles on their ears can get pregnant!"

Meng Yuxiu was stunned for a moment, then slowly opened his eyes wide.

As Han Shuo was messing up his hair, something important suddenly popped into his head.

Just then, Meng Yuxiu also thought of it, and the two locked eyes almost simultaneously.

And they both saw a fleeting look of fear in each other's eyes.

Meng Yuxiu pursed his lips, looking at Han Shuo with an indescribable expression.

Han Shuo's lips were trembling, and his teeth were chattering.

When Meng Yuxiu saw that his eyes were red and his teeth were bared, he felt that something was wrong and subconsciously tensed up.

Sure enough, Han Shuo looked around, probably looking for something on the ground, but he couldn't find it. He then looked at the only table in the room, where there happened to be a feather duster.

Han Shuo immediately grabbed a feather duster and rushed over, cursing, "Fuck you! I told you not to shoot randomly!"

"Han Shuo!" Meng Yuxiu nimbly dodged, lowering his voice as he did so, "Don't do that, there are many people outside, they'll see us!"

Han Shuo also had some shame. He quickly glanced outside and, before anyone noticed, fiercely swung a feather duster again.

Meng Yuxiu quickly grabbed the feather duster and whispered, "Don't do that. I didn't know men could get pregnant in this world!"

Han Shuo gritted his teeth, his eyes blazing with fury, "Fuck your grandpa, you didn't know you were going to ejaculate inside?! Can't you ejaculate outside?!"

“I don’t know…” Meng Yuxiu said, blushing, “You didn’t say that back then…”

"What good is it if I said anything?! You're like a mad dog, I can't pull you away!"

Han Shuo was now in a state of agitation and had started attacking without any reason, having completely forgotten about the time he had enjoyed himself so much in bed that morning.

He angrily flung the feather duster away and sat back down in his chair.

He glanced at Meng Yuxiu and said irritably, "Let's go, stop eating."

Meng Yuxiu asked, "Where to?"

"Where are we going?" Han Shuo raised his voice slightly. "To find a hospital and a pharmacy to buy birth control pills, damn it!"

Meng Yuxiu frowned and asked, "Did they have birth control pills in this day and age?"

"How should I know?" Han Shuo cursed again in annoyance. "It's better than sitting here anyway. I'm not in the mood to eat."

"Oh." Meng Yuxiu nodded, but the next second he said rather awkwardly, "But I don't have any New Year's money left..."

Han Shuo nearly spat out a mouthful of blood. "Then what do you suggest we do?!"

Meng Yuxiu was embarrassed and awkward, and it took him a while to finally speak: "I'm going to earn tutoring fees."

"Can we make money tomorrow?" Han Shuo asked.

Meng Yuxiu shook his head.

"the day after tomorrow?"

Meng Yuxiu shook his head.

"Damn it!" Han Shuo cursed under his breath, "Then what the hell are you talking about! I'll wait until you make money, why would I need to take birth control pills? I'll just have an abortion."

"..."

Meng Yuxiu didn't say anything.

Outside, the atmosphere was festive, but inside, the tension was palpable. Two students, worried about money, were stuck inside, finally experiencing firsthand what it meant to have sex with someone who was expensive.

After thinking for a moment, Meng Yuxiu said that he saw firecrackers set off on the road in front of Pan Xiaodong's house today, leaving behind a lot of firecracker casings. He wanted to ask Pan Xiaodong if he could have those firecracker casings.

Han Shuo was really frustrated. He had come here and started collecting recyclables to rent a hotel room, and then he was collecting recyclables to buy birth control pills.

He waved his hand, not wanting to say a word.

Meng Yuxiu was about to leave the house, but just as he stepped out the threshold, he suddenly remembered something, turned back, looked at Han Shuo, and hesitated to speak.

Han Shuo looked up. "What? Spit it out!"

Since learning that he could still get pregnant, Han Shuo has lost the mood to pamper Meng Yuxiu like he would a little girlfriend; his face is completely dark.

There was nothing I could do. I thought I could just accept being a zero when doing tasks, but I never expected that being a zero would also carry the risk of an unwanted pregnancy.

Meng Yuxiu hesitated for a moment before slowly saying, "Han Shuo, actually I think... maybe it's already too late for us?"

"What do you mean?" Han Shuo was taken aback.

Meng Yuxiu forced a smile, "Our first time...it's been two months now..."

Han Shuo was suddenly startled.

Meng Yuxiu then asked, "You mean... you might already be..."

Meng Yuxiu's eyes flickered slightly, and he asked guiltily, "You're already pregnant?"
