Chapter Ten: How Does This Girl Possess Such Great Strength?

In the ultrasound room, the doctor stared at the magnetic strip in his hand, then looked bewilderedly at the young man standing before him in a very strange posture.

He asked tentatively, "Are you a woman?"

"I'm a man, a man, a man!" Yang Peng pointed at the tip of his nose. "Aren't these features obvious enough?"

"Oh," the doctor nodded thoughtfully and replied, "You're pregnant."

"Huff!"

Yang Peng widened his eyes to an incredible degree. "This—this is completely impossible!"

"Here, see for yourself." With that, the doctor handed him the magnetic strip.

Yang Peng was confused. After taking the item, he muttered to himself, "One line is normal, two lines mean you're positive, right? Three lines... oh my god!"

The doctor looked at him vigilantly, holding the phone in his hand and hesitating whether to escalate this to a legal matter.

After thinking for a long time, he suppressed the urge and said, "Go get a urine and stool test immediately. We have to get to the bottom of this 'three lines' business today!"

Yang Peng blinked but didn't move.

"What’s the matter?" The doctor grew impatient. "Go on!"

"Doctor, I'm blocked up," Yang Peng said, feeling basically numb by now. "The urine isn't a problem, but the stool is definitely a bit difficult."

"Oh!"

The doctor seemed to understand. He took a small wooden stick from the drawer, its tip wrapped in a bulky layer of white gauze.

"Use this. Just poke it with this and you'll be fine."

Yang Peng looked at the small stick, his eyes gleaming. He seemed to see hope again.

...

In the restroom, Yang Peng searched for a long time until he found the opening, then shoved the stick inside and poked!

*Snap!*

...The stick broke off inside.

Yang Peng immediately burst into a wail, a truly miserable, pathetic cry.

...

At the entrance of the County No. 3 Textile Factory.

Liu Haizhu stood proudly at the gate, a sight to behold, standing next to his "Twenty-Eight Inch" bicycle, which he had scrubbed clean that morning.

...

Huang'an couldn't compare to a big city. In this small county, owning a bicycle truly meant being at the forefront of the times, standing on the crest of the wave to show off.

Before long, a shy girl approached Liu Haizhu, holding a work photo of him.

...

The girl was truly beautiful, with delicate, well-defined features.

Moreover, this was likely the most eye-pleasing young woman this rascal had ever encountered on his road to blind dates. She appeared calm and gentle; she was truly a fine woman.

...

At this moment, Liu Haizhu felt a little nervous. He bravely took a step forward. "Hello."

She wore an orange-blue skirt paired with a light white turtleneck top, white socks, and shiny little white shoes.

Up close, the girl had a pair of large, bright eyes, with a cool and refreshing air about her features that made one’s heart itch.

Seeing her tall, strapping date, the girl also smiled and took the initiative to reach out her hand. "Hello, my name is Dong Zhizhi."

"Can I call you Brother Zhu?"

"Uh, sure!" Liu Haizhu's brain short-circuited, and he blurted out, "Do you have a younger sister?"

"Ah!"

This time, it was Miss Dong's turn to be bewildered.

...

On the bluestone path, Liu Haizhu pushed his bicycle in front, while Dong Zhizhi followed behind, twisting the corner of her shirt.

Wiping the sweat from his forehead, the rascal was incredibly conflicted.

Should he buy movie tickets first... or take the girl to eat first?

...

However, one thing must be said: judging by Liu Haizhu's performance today, he had most likely taken a fancy to this quiet girl.

After thinking for a long time, Liu Haizhu turned his head and asked, "Comrade Dong, shall we go eat first?"

Dong Zhizhi lowered her head, blushing. "Mmhmm."

...

The girl’s gaze was calm and complex.

...Along the way, the young women and wives couldn't take their eyes off Brother Zhu.

In her eyes, Brother Zhu was truly too good-looking—tall, handsome, and impossibly charming.

This was her second blind date. The last one was fine in every way, but his looks were lacking; he was too dull.

This one, he would definitely do!

Dong Zhizhi thought to herself that she would use any means necessary; she couldn't let him get away.

...

Liu Haizhu turned his head again and asked, "Zhizhi, what would you like to eat?"

Hearing Brother Zhu call her name, Dong Zhizhi started, then quickly regained her composure, blushing.

She pursed her beautiful lips. "Anything is fine, Brother Zhu."

"Oh!"

Liu Haizhu stopped completely and looked at her earnestly. "Zhizhi, don't be formal with me. Tell me what you want to eat, and I'll make it happen. I’m a man of my word."

...

On General North Road.

The two walked into an ordinary, simple private restaurant.

The young man greeting them at the door spoke with a stutter, though he seemed to recognize Dong Zhizhi.

But after entering, the rascal frowned!

...

This simple little eatery was not simple at all.

The staff—the ones serving food, the one at the counter, even the cook—none of them were "normal."

And they were all going "aba-aba," making chaotic hand gestures.

He turned to look at Zhizhi, almost blurting out: *Young lady, are you looking down on me, Liu Haizhu?*

Fortunately, he held it back.

...

Wait!!!

Was Liu Haizhu stupid?

No, he wasn't. ...The rascal suddenly realized a few things.

Dong Zhizhi smiled and said, "Brother Zhu, don't mind them. They all come from a school for the disabled, and many are people from Jiangcheng that their families didn't want and abandoned."

Hearing this, Liu Haizhu sucked in a breath through his teeth.

It was as if a door had opened in his heart. When he looked at the girl in front of him again, his gaze became even gentler.

...

The two sat down.

Dong Zhizhi blushed and asked shyly, "Brother Zhu, has anyone ever told you that you are very handsome?"

Liu Haizhu touched his face and smiled. "Haha, well, nobody said that when I was a kid, but I've become quite popular since I grew up."

The girl bit her lip and asked, "Then, do you...?"

Liu Haizhu nodded. "I think you're very good."

In an instant...

The girl smiled playfully. She waved to the people in the restaurant and wrote a sentence on a piece of paper, holding it up for them to see.

It clearly read: *This is my partner.*

The people surrounding her clapped happily, their eyes shining.

Dong Zhizhi grabbed Liu Haizhu’s large hand. "Brother Zhu, they are all my good friends. They said they like you too!"

The rascal was moved. "Mm!"

Zhizhi shoved the menu into his hand, stood up, her face flushed red, and seemed to gather all her courage to say, "Brother Zhu, I like you. Don't worry, I will live a good life with you from now on! I want to bear your children. You say how many, and I'll listen to you!"

Liu Haizhu was completely stunned!

Dong Zhizhi said proudly, "You order first. Eat whatever you want today, it's my treat. Also, sit for a moment; I'm going to go change my clothes. I recently learned a new dance, and I'll perform it for you."

Liu Haizhu pulled her back, looking bewildered. "Wait, hold on!"

"Hey!~"

Dong Zhizhi playfully slapped his hand, turned, and walked away. "Don't be so impatient, Brother, I'll be right back."

"Hiss!~~"

Looking at the back of his hand, which was almost turning red and swollen, Liu Haizhu stood there stunned, sucking in a cold breath.

...How could this girl have such incredible strength!
