Deliberate Mark

nd squeezed his leg, “What did you talk about?”

Ye Fei rested his elbows on his knees, fingertips dangling, his expression serious, “Talked about your health.”

“What do I have to talk about?” Gu Ang licked his lips, “You know all you need to know.”

The doctor looked up at Gu Ang through his glasses, and the raised lines on his brow were deeply etched, “Your boyfriend is more reliable than you, and he’s very attentive when it comes to telling the situation as it should be.”

Gu Ang raised the corner of his mouth, “My boyfriend’s good.
I certainly know that, thanks for the compliment.”

“Mn, we’ll see when the results come back.
I heard you’ve gotten stronger again lately, so I think it’s a hormonal reaction.”

The doctor scribbled on the paper with a pen and looked up again after a moment, “Are you sure you don’t want to consider drawing an extra tube of blood for me to take back for an experiment?”

Gu Ang verbally refused, “I’m not a guinea pig, don’t fight this.” His head tilted and he leaned towards Ye Fei, “I’m sleepy again, call me when it’s done.”

Ye Fei, “……” He reached up and plucked the man’s head into a mutually comfortable position, serving as a dutiful pillow.
They sat until the tea was cold before the nurse brought in the report.

Ye Fei pinched Gu Ang’s ear, “Get up, the results are out.”

Gu Ang was dazed, eyes not opening, “Sleepy.”

“Go home and sleep after you look at the results.” Ye Fei pushed his head, forcing the man to sit up straight.
Waiting for Gu Ang to sit up, Ye Fei looked over at the dumbfounded doctor, “Well? What’s the problem?”

Dr.
Zhang pushed his glasses, wanting to say something.
He squeezed the report and folded it around, thinking for a moment, “It involves a patient’s privacy, could you step outside for a moment?”

Ye Fei raised an eyebrow, “I can’t listen?”

The doctor nodded, acting like he was a professional, “I’ll talk to Gu Ang first and he’ll decide if he wants to tell you.”

Gu Ang pressed Ye Fei’s hand, “Doctor, if you have something to say, he can listen to anything.”

The doctor tapped his desk with a serious look on his face, “I urge you to listen to it yourself before you make a decision.”

“What disease is it? So mysterious.” Gu Ang muttered, reaching out to touch Ye Fei and whispering, “Then go ahead and smoke a cigarette by the door, I’ll be out soon.”

“Mn, I’ll be waiting for you.” Ye Fei reluctantly got up and walked out of the office, leaving the door behind him.
The windows in the room were left open and a cold breeze blew in gusts.

Gu Ang propped his chin up and looked away from the doctor in an awkward atmosphere, “Say it.”

“You’re pregnant.” Simple, straightforward, head-on.

Gu Ang froze for a second and snorted again, his tongue licking his lower lip, “Don’t you dare joke with me like that.”

“I’m pretty sure that the baby is already formed.” The doctor looked at him with an anxious face and continued, “By definition, it’s only about three months.
But it could be that the hormones in your body were exuberant, causing your little one to develop very quickly and already grow to the size of a normal baby of five months.” The doctor inserted another cut, “So it’s more difficult to get rid of it.”

A pile of words slammed down, slamming into his head.
Gu Ang was shocked and his mind went blank.
A baby, a formed baby in his belly? This was a real fucking ghost in the middle of the day, wasn’t it? But that kick in the morning did seem like the force of a small creature.
But, that was outrageous.
He and Ye Fei hadn’t done anything, how could they have a child?

Three months ago, they were on Ice Blue Star and he and Ye Fei hadn’t made up, at best they’d bitten and kissed.

Gu Ang was in a funk.
Could he really get pregnant with a kiss? The confusion in his head was growing, like he had broken into a maze and couldn’t find the exit.
His hands were sweaty and he felt a chill run down his back.
There was a baby.
Who was the father? Why didn’t he remember anything?

Gu Ang digested it for a moment, still feeling incredibly ridiculous.
He stood up and with a look of incredulity reached for the report and read it in black and white, clear as day.
His fingertips twitched and the report floated to the floor as he drifted a little.
“Wait, how could I be pregnant? I thought you said my reproductive cavity was underdeveloped?”

“In theory, yes, but anything is possible.” The doctor glanced up and down suspiciously.
“I just asked your boyfriend and you two didn’t exactly mark, so were you, behind his back, with someone else…”

Gu Ang sort of understood why Ye Fei should be let out.
Dare to think he cuckolded someone.
And yeah, that was probably what anyone would think if this was put in their place.

“I didn’t, I really didn’t.” Gu Ang propped himself up on the table, righteously stressing again and again, “I didn’t do it with him or anyone else, I’m a virgin, you must be mistaken.”

The doctor looked up and down with suspicion and gave another laugh, “I’m old enough that you can’t hide it from me, I’ve seen a lot of this kind of thing.
You got caught cheating on your boyfriend behind his back, didn’t you? You pay the price for stealing the forbidden fruit.”

“Fuck, I really didn’t!” Gu Ang was furious and slammed down on the table, jarring the teacups on the table.
He had nowhere to vent his anger, and his fingers pressed deep fingerprints into the tabletop.
As soon as he was a clean interstellar slugger, he didn’t know who had defiled him, and he felt aggrieved.

The doctor rolled his swivel chair and ducked back, afraid he would hurt him in his anger, “Seriously?”

Gu Ang shook his head with an uncanny look on his face, “I like Ye Fei so much, I can’t even break through that barrier in my heart with him, so how could there be anyone else?”

The doctor was silent.
Looking at Gu Ang’s reaction, it didn’t look like he was faking it.
But the report was shown clearly and the ultrasound was taken clearly, so there was no way to get it wrong.
He reached down and held the slice under the incandescent light, pointing to the shadows, “Look, it’s grown legs.”

Gu Ang’s sweat exploded at those words.
Growing legs.
No wonder the little thing kicked him so hard… “So my recent urge to vomit, drowsiness, and… appetite, all because of…”

“Yes, you’re talking about all the common early pregnancy symptoms.”

“And he kicked me today.”

“Three months pregnant and they can already kick your belly.
You’ve got one fierce child.”

Gu Ang muttered, “No way, how? How did this thing pop up?”

“If you really haven’t been fully marked by someone else.” The doctor paused, “I have an irresponsible brain fart, will you listen?”

Gu Ang blinked as if he had caught a lifeline, “What?”

“Look, with all the Alpha and Omega hormones in your body, could you have self-birthed a child?” The doctor finished, covering his mouth and pretending nothing was happening, “I said it was irresponsible nonsense, don’t take it seriously.”

“Fuck, I could still get myself pregnant by myself?” Gu Ang was confused.
But even more than that outrageous possibility, he could find no other reason.

The doctor shrugged his shoulders, “After all, there’s nothing impossible about your body being different.” He said soothingly, “And don’t worry, you’ll get another tube of blood drawn and I’ll run the tests myself.
The baby’s already formed and it may be possible to extract DNA from the father.”

“Draw now, when would the results be available?”

“This is new technology, it’s slower, it takes a week.”

Gu Ang held his forehead and looked pained, “We’re playing in two days, so I have to wait a week with anxiety?”

“You’re taking a kid to a game? Are you crazy?” The doctor spoke up in a panic to stop it, “You can’t do that, something could happen.”

“But I just finished signing my entry agreement today.” Gu Ang walked around the early room annoyed at the thought of the dragon flying around with his big name, “What the fuck is going on here?”

“Will you see if the game could be canceled?”

“A soldier’s word is his bond.”

The doctor slumped back in his swivel chair with a hand, “Then you really need to take care of them, they’re fragile.”

Gu Ang still didn’t quite accept it to this day, and his life had gone off the rails little by little since alphare-differentiated.
His mind felt like a jumbled mess, and his entire being was irritable and flustered.
He desperately wanted to talk to Ye Fei, but would Ye Fei believe him?

This was something that would probably be a strange shame for any man.

The doctor tapped the desk, “I’m done, go get your blood drawn and then you can go back and watch your diet and sleep.”

Gu Ang let out an “oh”, feeling his ears perk up.

The doctor added, “Since you’re pregnant, you’re a complete Omega.”

Gu Ang nodded again reflexively, as if he couldn’t hear anything.
He muddled through and transferred to the draw room again, and when he came out again, he felt his legs go weak.
Knowing there was a baby in his belly made him even stand in a strange position now.

Mentally, it felt like one pose didn’t get it right and the kid kicked him in the stomach.
He touched the small of his back, still flat, with only a soft layer of flesh.
No wonder his abs were gone, no wonder he kept gaining weight, he had finally found the cause of his recent abnormality.
His brain finally sorted out the conclusion of the trip.

He couldn’t change back and became an Omega forever.

And, with a child from who knew where.

Gu Ang rubbed his brow and wheedled his way to the door to see Ye Fei leaning to the side waiting for him.

Standing in his usual black shirt, standing in the wind, he looked dependable.
However, he opened his mouth, but he couldn’t really speak.

“What did the doctor say? Show me the report.” Ye Fei reached out and pulled him into his arms and kissed him down, “Why do you look so pale?”

Gu Ang pursed his lips, anxious and frazzled, his heart beating haphazardly.
The nicer Ye Fei was to him, the more he couldn’t open his mouth.

Ye Fei saw that he didn’t say anything and asked again, “Tell me how serious it is and don’t be afraid, eh?”

Gu Ang took a deep breath and his voice began to stop shaking, “I’m afraid you can’t handle it, and I think it’s ridiculous.”

No one who encountered this could be calm.
For the first time in twenty years of living, day to day, he was terrified.

“What do you mean?” Ye Fei frowned, his fingertips rubbing the ends of his eyes with a little dampness.
“You’re crying? Do you have a terminal illness?”

Gu Ang blinked and shivered, “It’s worse than having a terminal illness.”

Ye Fei reached out and hugged him, his palm soothing his back a little, “It’s okay, I’m here.”

“Big brother, would you ever leave me?”

“What a silly thing to say, never.”

Never.
Hearing those words felt the tightening of his heart loosen slightly.
Gu Ang thought to himself, he didn’t do anything wrong and said so.
He gritted his teeth and blurted out simply and plainly, “I’m pregnant, three months along.”

The air fell silent and Gu Ang felt a little cold.

Ye Fei’s pupils widened slightly, and the palm of his hand stroking his back stopped abruptly.
He had thought of many possibilities, but this was the only one he hadn’t guessed.
Pregnant, three months.
The words felt like a heavy hammer, hammering his sanity to smithereens.

Ye Fei kept what was left of his sanity and held back his impending outburst of anger.
His voice was low, muffled, like a dull knife, lynching itself, “The baby’s dad, who is it?”
