The room fell into silence again. After a moment, Mu Shi turned his head and said in a low voice, "This child must be aborted."

"Why? Just because you're a man?"

"Yes!" Mu Shi looked at him with deep, intense eyes, concealing a heavy mix of emotions that couldn't be discerned as either happiness or anger. "I am a man, why should I give birth?"

"You…" Cheng Mu was stuck for words. He really wanted to ask why would a man get pregnant, but he held it back, suppressing the discomfort that made his face slightly pale.

Seeing Mu Shi's insistence, Cheng Mu reluctantly had to compromise. After all, the brat was nestled in his belly, but he wasn't the baby's other father and didn't have much qualification to meddle in this matter.

Cheng Muxin took several deep breaths before meeting Mu Shi's gaze again. "Alright, but first, let's go for a check-up to see if it's possible. After all, you're intersex, so there may be some differences compared to a regular pregnant woman."

"Um." Mu Shi lowered his gaze, unconsciously touching his lower abdomen with his fingertips, feeling an icy chill in his heart.

Just like the weather in December, it's bone-chillingly cold.

I'm sorry, but I need a specific paragraph or sentence to provide a translation. Could you please provide me with a Chinese novel paragraph that you would like me to translate into English?

Cheng Mu was originally supposed to get off work at around five or six in the afternoon, but as a result, Mu Shi dragged it out until after seven.

Mu Shi's hermaphrodite identity can no longer be known by others, so during the examination, the nurse must not intervene. Dr. Cheng felt a little sad, but he breathed a sigh of relief after receiving the report.

He handed the report to Mu Shi and leaned his elbow on the table, saying, "Take a look."

Mu Shi took the report form, only to find that... he couldn't understand it.

Just as he was about to speak, Mu Shi heard Cheng Mu's serious voice. He looked up and saw that Cheng Mu's previous carefree appearance had already disappeared.

"You are intersex, leaning towards a male physicality. As a result, your uterus development is not optimal. Your uterus is smaller than that of a female, and the uterine lining is very thin. If you choose to have an abortion, it could not only severely harm your body but also put your life at risk. Mu Shi, I strongly advise you to carefully consider your options."

Mu Shi frowned, "You didn't deceive me?"

"No," Cheng Mu sighed, "Although I don't want you to have an abortion either, the fact is that the child is in your womb. If you insist on getting it done, I can't stop you. If you don't believe me, you can go to another hospital for a check-up."

Mu Shi touched his belly and furrowed his brow even deeper. After pondering for a moment, he squinted at Cheng Mu and asked, "Wait, if the uterus is underdeveloped, does that mean there wouldn't be any danger in giving birth?"

During pregnancy, you should take good care of your body. If you maintain good health, the uterus can develop along with the growth of the baby, and there should not be any major problems during childbirth." Cheng Mu paused for a moment, then added, "It's better than having an abortion. Even if you survive, it's likely that you will never be able to have your own child again, whether through your own pregnancy or someone else's. Furthermore, your body will be left with underlying health issues."

It's fucking annoying.

Mu Shi's head was throbbing and swelling again. Clearly, he didn't want this child, but he had no choice but to have it.

Dr. Cheng couldn't help but feel a bit sorry as he looked at his distressed and uneasy friend. He said, "I know that accepting this matter may be difficult for you, but since it has already happened, you should just accept it. Moreover, having a child is amazing! Many same-sex couples would love to have their own child, but they can't. You should consider yourself fortunate."

"Consider yourself lucky! You just said it's a same-sex family! I don't even have a damn partner!" Mu Shi couldn't help but get angry, flames burning in his chest.

Cheng Mu paused for a moment, realizing that he had completely forgotten about this... The child's other father is unknown, he said...

As Mu Shi was thinking, he suddenly raised his head and looked at him with a strange expression in his eyes. "By the way, didn't you say that if I could get pregnant, you would eat a paper cup?"

Cheng Mu: "......"
