Chapter 27 What's inside his belly is a basically formed...
Jian Guo blinked at him with an extremely innocent and harmless look, but after realizing what she had just heard, her lips pouted intentionally or unintentionally.
His eyes were round and watery, and his appearance was somewhat feminine and cute. When he made an expression, he looked like he had suffered a great injustice.
Lu Shangyan glanced at him and immediately asked, "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
Pei Yumin was initially a little soft-hearted when he saw Jian Guo's appearance, but when Lu Shangyan showed concern for him, his jealousy immediately resurfaced.
He leaned half his body over the table, placing himself between Lu Shangyan and Jian Guo to prevent Jian Guo from feigning pitifulness and attracting Lu Shangyan's attention.
Seeing the confusion on Lu Shangyan's face, he decided to go all the way and imitated Jian Guo's earlier behavior, pouting and acting pitiful to try to attract all of Lu Shangyan's attention to him. He said in a pitiful voice, "I feel really uncomfortable."
After saying that, he turned his head and squinted at Jian Guo with a threatening look: "So could you please give me your seat? I want Lu Shangyan to examine me properly, otherwise I'm afraid he won't be able to see me clearly with a table between us."
Jian Guo glanced at him sideways: "Lu Shangyan studied dentistry. I think you're the one who's mentally ill. Your major is completely unrelated to your profession."
Pei Yumin was about to say "thank you" when he swallowed it back down. He glared angrily at Jian Guo, but then said in an even more aggrieved voice, "I really am sick. I feel like my head hurts, my heart hurts, and my back and legs hurt."
"Move aside quickly, let Lu listen to my heartbeat first. I feel my heart is pounding so fast, I can hardly breathe. We can't delay any longer."
Jian Guo was speechless. She understood his intention, but she just sat there without moving. Lu Shangyan watched as they remained in a stalemate, which attracted the attention of the surrounding classmates. However, he thought for a long time but still didn't know what to do.
In the end, Xia Li couldn't bear to see Lu Shangyan in such a predicament, so she offered, "Why don't you switch seats with me?"
Pei Yumin held onto Lu Shangyan's wrist the whole time, and didn't let go until Lu Shangyan sat down next to her. In front of Jian Guo, she even pressed Lu Shangyan's hand to her heart and rubbed it several times: "Feel it carefully, is your heart beating very fast?"
Lu Shangyan frowned, his face full of worry, and his breathing became erratic. Seeing him like this, Pei Yumin felt a pang of sympathy and quickly said, "Dr. Lu is truly a miracle worker. I was feeling so bad just now that I almost fainted, but after you touched me a few times, I felt better instantly and I don't feel uncomfortable at all now."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Shangyan tilted his head to look at him, not knowing how to respond for a moment. Pei Yumin, on the other hand, was afraid that he would figure it out, so he took his textbook and spread it out in front of him: "Didn't you want to review? Go ahead and study, don't worry about me, I'm really fine."
With her alluring and seductive demeanor, Jian Guo almost vomited: "Shang Yan, where were we in our discussion?"
Lu Shangyan didn't understand many things, but he had to understand everything about studying. Hearing the question, he immediately looked over.
Pei Yumin placed his hand on the book: "Let me take a look too." Then he awkwardly squeezed between the two of them again, making not only them, but also half of the people in the library lose their focus on studying.
Xia Li was afraid that the next day, the four of them would gossip and be criticized by thousands of people online when they went up on the campus confession wall together, so before they started their next battle, she spoke up and said, "It's already very late, why don't we go eat first? Anyway, the exam is coming up soon, and it's important to get some rest."
Pei Yumin, who couldn't understand the textbook, immediately agreed to the proposal in order to save face.
Seeing him wink at him, Lu Shangyan couldn't refuse and nodded in agreement. Jian Guo, seeing him start packing his bag, quickly stuffed the things on the table into her bag as well: "I'll go too."
Pei Yumin paused as he was helping Lu Shangyan with his bag: "Where are you going? I don't even know you."
Jian Guo looked at him and smiled: "You really don't recognize me?"
That threatening feeling came again, which Pei Yumin hated, but this time he didn't subtly retaliate. Jian Guo ran to Lu Shangyan's side again, raising her chin as if to complain: "I've seen you several times in bars before."
Pei Yumin gritted his teeth: "So what if I've seen it? I'm an adult, and I haven't done anything improper."
He was mocking Jane for being unserious.
Jian Guo glared at him and went to continue talking to Lu Shangyan. Pei Yumin was naturally not convinced and followed after him. The two of them tried their best to find topics to chat with Lu Shangyan along the way, which made him extremely annoyed.
When they arrived at the school gate, there were far fewer people. Xia Li breathed a sigh of relief and then quickened her pace to get closer to them.
Lu Shangyan smiled wryly, and the moment he looked up, he met a pair of eyes.
The woman was wearing a black and white suit dress, her hair casually draped behind her. The moment their eyes met, she raised her hand, took a drag of her cigarette, and as the smoke rose, she squinted and smiled at Lu Shangyan, seemingly unintentionally.
Lu Shangyan felt a chill run down his spine from her gaze and quickly looked away. When he looked back after walking a few steps away, the woman was gone, and the car parked on the side of the road was also gone.
Pei Yumin noticed his unusual mood: "What's wrong?"
Lu Shangyan shook his head slightly: "It's nothing, let's hurry up, I'm a little hungry."
Pei Yumin couldn't bear to let him go hungry, and wished he could carry him to the dining table, but once they got there, he refused to leave.
This is the first place Lu Shangyan said he would treat him to meals for the rest of his life! It's the first time they've shared a lifetime together!
Now Lu Shangyan has actually brought two other unrelated people with him!
He tugged at Lu Shangyan's sleeve and shook it, his face full of sadness: "I thought you only brought me here once. This place means a lot to me."
Jian Guo deliberately bumped his shoulder: "I've been to Guo with Lu Shangyan several times before."
After speaking, he entered the store with ease and chatted familiarly with the owner, clearly a regular customer.
Pei Yumin became even more jealous. He sat there for a long time without saying a word. Even when the bowl was served, he just poked at it with his chopsticks and didn't put a bite in his mouth for a long time.
Even if Lu Shangyan was stupid, he knew that he was in a bad mood, but he couldn't figure out the specific reason, so he could only try to coax him from another angle: "Is it not to your liking?"
"Of course not!" Pei Yumin sat up straight, afraid that Lu Shangyan would only bring Jian Guo next time and not him.
Lu Shangyan lowered his voice: "How about we go eat something else later and see if we can finish it?"
Pei Yumin felt better because he was cared about. He looked at Jian Guo smugly and said deliberately, "I have a good appetite now. I really want to eat the cherry tomatoes in your bowl."
Without hesitation, Lu Shangyan picked out the only three and put them all in his bowl. Lu Shangyan usually liked spicy food, but now he didn't put any spicy food in it for the sake of his stomach. So Pei Yumin lowered his head and swallowed all three in one go.
Jian Guo snorted coldly and rolled her eyes at him. She didn't give him a kind look until the meal was over and the party was over. However, after getting into the car, she started staring at her phone screen frequently again.
In fact, ever since Pei Yumin appeared at the school, he had been looking for opportunities to check his phone, but Tang Suichen still hadn't sent him a single message.
He pursed his lips, thinking that he had been acting for so long, but Tang Suichen still hadn't made a move. He even doubted whether he had done enough to completely anger Pei Yumin.
But the reality was not at all what he thought.
Pei Yumin had threatened Tang Suichen many times, making him restless for several days in a row.
[m: How can you be so useless!]
Tang Suichen opened his eyes and saw the message, his vision went black, and he was about to go back to sleep, but Song Yuxin already knew he was awake. He pushed open the door and walked in: "President Tang, there is a meeting at three o'clock this afternoon. You can't be late again."
Tang Suichen opened her eyes and saw his meticulous appearance. She couldn't help but laugh out loud and deliberately asked, "Do you think Xiao Guoguo and I are a good match? If we are, I'll go and win him back. It would save Pei Yumin some trouble and I'd get to hear him scold me less."
Song Yuxin remained silent for a long time, finally managing to squeeze out only, "I don't know."
Tang Suichen chuckled as she looked at his "troubled" expression: "Alright, go pick out a suit for me. The tie I'm wearing today is the one you gave me last year."
-
On the morning of the last day of the exam, Lu Shangyan received a call from his aunt as soon as he arrived at school.
As soon as the call connected, before he could even say "Hello, Auntie," the other end launched into a tirade of abuse. Some of the words were so vulgar that Lu Shangyan didn't dare to listen closely. However, he had heard it so many times since he was a child that he was used to it, and his expression didn't even change after she finished scolding him.
Once Lu Shangyan went upstairs, the other party finally finished cursing and revealed the reason for the call: "You're not planning to come back, are you? You ingrate, do you even know what day it is today! Where's the money! Why haven't I seen any money yet? Or did you give all the money to that damned family of Lu Lin when he came to see you a while ago!"
In the past six months, she had never called Lu Shangyan on her own initiative. If she called this time without mentioning money, Lu Shangyan would find it strange: "No, I want to go back this summer vacation. I think I'll give you the money directly then."
The aunt said impatiently, "There's no place for you to stay at home. You can just transfer the money directly to me."
Lu Shangyan took a deep breath: "I live in my hometown, I will definitely take the money back, don't worry."
The aunt was still unwilling, but fortunately she couldn't run to the school right away. She cursed for a while longer before hanging up the phone angrily: "This time you have to give me an extra two thousand, or I won't let you off this time!"
Lu Shangyan was exhausted, but thankfully it didn't affect his exam, which relieved him.
When he came out after the exam, he found a new message on his phone. The profile picture was a blurry little flower, and the message asked him:
[Do you still offer ride-hailing services? I can pay more.]
With exams approaching, many people are too busy running around campus. Lu Shangyan finished his exams the earliest and usually takes on several jobs during this time. He earns a lot of money then and also gets some exercise.
He was thinking of going to the hospital for a check-up tomorrow and didn't want to agree, but the sound of his aunt's cursing came faintly in the morning, along with the extra two thousand yuan.
She asked for an extra two thousand yuan, and the other two aunts also wanted an extra two thousand yuan, totaling six thousand. Even if he spent all the money he had for medical checkups, he might not be able to fill this hole.
He regretted not transferring the money directly to their accounts, but then he thought that if he had given it to them first, he probably wouldn't even have had the chance to see a doctor.
Lu Shangyan had a headache, but finally agreed:
[Send me your account and password, I'll transfer the money first.]
Knowing that it wouldn't be easy to find someone at this time, the other party immediately transferred 150 yuan.
The distance to run wasn't much, and Lu Shangyan figured he could manage to run about that much today if he tried hard, and then he'd return fifty to her later.
But after running for more than ten minutes according to the map on his phone, he began to feel unwell. His steps were unusually heavy, and he was constantly sweating, especially in his lower abdomen, which always felt bloated.
At first, he thought it was because he had been too busy studying and hadn't exercised for a long time, so he was a little unaccustomed to it and forced himself to run an extra distance.
His stomach pain subsided, but a dull ache began to set in. He took a deep breath to try and relieve it, but his stomach felt like it had been pricked with a needle. He pressed his stomach, his vision went black, and he uncontrollably collapsed into the flower bed.
Pei Yumin knew what time he would finish the exam, so he thought he would come to the school early to pick him up and have something nice to eat to ease his anxiety about going to the hospital the next day.
Unexpectedly, he had just come in and made his way around when he saw Lu Shangyan lying on the ground. He panicked instantly and rushed over, calling out to Lu Shangyan several times, but there was no response. He tried to pick him up and take him to the hospital, but he was too weak to do anything.
He could only ask passing students to help him carry Lu Shangyan into the car. Fearing he might cause an accident while driving, he could only wait for the ambulance to arrive in the car.
Upon arriving at the hospital, he immediately described Lu Shangyan's recent physical condition to the doctor.
Lu Shangyan was unconscious and unable to cooperate with many of the examinations. They could only draw blood first and then push him around for an ultrasound to do a preliminary check-up.
Fifteen minutes later, the doctor sat in the chair with a serious expression. Pei Yumin's face turned frightened, and he didn't dare to ask Lu Shangyan what illness he had for a long time.
He stared at the ultrasound screen for a while, then said in a trembling voice, "Doctor, is this cancer in his stomach? How come it's so big? It's become malignant and spread, no wonder he's in so much pain."
The doctor gasped, somewhat bewildered, but still managed to say with difficulty, "This isn't cancer. What's inside him is a nearly fully formed fetus. It's not that it's spread or worsened; it's just the initial differentiation of limbs."
