“If you don’t let go of me, I’ll…” Pei Zhaozhou clenched his teeth, his stern face turning pale with anger.

“What do you want to do?” Si Huaixi’s eyes flashed with a hint of mockery as he changed his grip from holding Pei Zhaozhou’s wrist to embracing his waist, his back slightly bent and his hand resting on the back of his leg.

In an instant, as he bent down and lifted him up, Pei Zhaozhou instinctively protected his abdomen, feeling a momentary sense of weightlessness.

Realizing that he was being lifted up by Si Huaixi, Pei Zhaozhou’s golden eyes filled with a hint of panic, but Si Huaixi’s arms were sturdy and powerful. He took large strides and carried him onto the bed.

Suddenly returning to the soft mattress, Pei Zhaozhou snapped back to reality, his lips tightly pressed together as he stared at Si Huaixi’s handsome face, wishing he could take a bite.

From above came Si Huaixi’s deep laughter.

“Brother Pei, I advise you not to struggle anymore, just behave… Otherwise, you won’t be able to defeat me.”

The words sounded quite irritating, like what a bandit would say to his forcefully acquired wife.

Pei Zhaozhou’s eyes narrowed slightly, his chest heaving with suppressed anger. His low voice, filled with a cold, knife-like pressure, shot towards Si Huaixi as he said, “You don’t need to worry about it. You’re not a doctor.”

“Mm, I know.”

Si Huaixi’s eyes darkened slightly, his calm sea-blue gaze becoming serene. His gentle and magnetic voice, like the cold and clear water of a mountain stream, pursed his lips as he comforted Pei Zhaozhou, saying, “Just let me take a look, Brother Pei. You can argue with me, but don’t hide your illness from me. I’m really worried about you.”

The intimate and gentle male voice sounded in his ear.

Pei Zhaozhou lowered his eyelids, and a faint shadow cast from his long and thick lashes.

“It was you who started the silent treatment first.”

Si Huaixi’s eyes flickered, looking at the slightly reddened corners of Pei Zhaozhou’s eyes, his misty and cold gaze revealing a subtle and unnoticed hint of grievance.

His fingers curled slightly.

In an impulsive moment, he wanted to embrace Pei Zhaozhou tightly, leaving no gap, and listen to him whispering about his grievances.

He also wanted to take the initiative to reconcile with Pei Zhaozhou, but every time he met his cold and indifferent eyes, he forcibly halted his steps.

…So, he wasn’t indifferent either.

Si Huaixi chuckled softly, his adam’s apple bobbing up and down, his eyes sparkling like a cluster of stars, shining and captivating, making it hard to look away.

“…Mm, I was wrong. I won’t give you the silent treatment anymore.”

Pei Zhaozhou’s eyes and eyebrows suddenly relaxed, and a faint curve appeared at the corner of his tightly pressed lips.

“Okay, you can look through my clothes, but I really have no problem.” Pei Zhaozhou stubbornly stated in the end.

He didn’t know if the fetal movements would come again, and his nearly four-month-old belly was becoming quite noticeable. He didn’t dare let Si Huaixi touch it; it would be troublesome if he was found out.

Si Huaixi furrowed his eyebrows slightly and refused, “No, Brother Pei, be a good boy and let me check.”

Pei Zhaozhou struggled helplessly, radiating a chilly air as he sat on the edge of the bed, resigned to being manipulated. Fortunately, he didn’t believe Si Huaixi would discover anything significant.

As long as the baby stayed calm and didn’t cause any trouble, everything would be fine. Pei Zhaozhou was still unaware of the existence of psychic power, his eyes wide open as he curiously observed Si Huaixi’s movements. Si Huaixi’s eyes were deep and focused, his hand resting on Pei Zhaozhou’s abdomen as he meticulously examined with his psychic power.

The once firm abdominal muscles had become like a bloated, soft, and warm mass. If it were merely a simple weight gain, Si Huaixi wouldn’t worry, but he was concerned that it might be caused by some underlying condition. Suddenly, his psychic power sensed a faint heartbeat.

It was indeed a heartbeat, but why was it in that location? A hint of doubt flickered in Si Huaixi’s eyes. His psychic power brushed against a soft sac, that place was the gestational sac of the reproductive cavity, although Si Huaixi was unaware of it.

Such a thing wouldn’t grow inside an ordinary person’s body. While Si Huaixi knew that the anatomy of individuals in the ABO world was different, he also knew that no matter how different it was, a melon-sized cyst wouldn’t grow. The heartbeat was coming from inside the cyst.

Si Huaixi’s gaze sharpened, thinking this might be the cause of Brother Pei’s condition— a cyst had formed. His psychic power continued to explore, finding the cyst filled with fluid and a peculiar-looking smaller cyst within. It had the shape of a fetus, curled up into a round mass, resembling a fetus. But how could that be? Brother Pei couldn’t be pregnant.

Si Huaixi tentatively concluded that it was a special mutated cyst. Due to the incomplete development of a three to four-month-old fetus, and Si Huaixi’s limited knowledge about fetuses, in addition, Pei Zhaozhou had firmly stated before that alphas couldn’t get pregnant, immediately dismissing the possibility of pregnancy and subjectively determining that the lump in Pei Zhaozhou’s belly was a cyst.

What was even stranger was that Si Huaixi sensed a faint psychic power. It was incredibly weak, like a drifting dandelion, leisurely floating within the cyst. Si Huaixi used his psychic power to capture that faint psychic energy. Delicately, he felt a sense of connection, as if their bloodlines were intertwined.

Si Huaixi was moved, and he playfully poked the small dot-like psychic power with his psychic energy. The feeble psychic energy didn’t like this big fellow and tried to dodge his touch. Si Huaixi mischievously teased it several times, causing the small psychic energy to sulkily retreat into the small cyst.

Si Huaixi’s eyes revealed a trace of unfulfilled desire, but he quickly became troubled. “Brother Pei, there’s something growing inside you.” Pei Zhaozhou’s pupils dilated, and he looked at Si Huaixi in a panic.

Si Huaixi furrowed his brows and said, “I suspect it’s a cyst. If it affects your health, we’ll have to resort to medical means to remove it.” Even though it pained Si Huaixi to say this, thinking of the little psychic energy from earlier.

Pei Zhaozhou hadn’t yet grasped how Si Huaixi knew that he had something growing inside him, but when he heard Si Huaixi mention removal…

Whether it was a cyst or a fetus, Pei Zhaozhou’s eyes narrowed, and a dangerous glint flashed through them. “Si Huaixi, do you really want to know what this is?”

“There’s something I’ve been keeping from you for a long time, but can you tell me why you can see it?” Si Huaixi’s gaze darkened, and he confessed, “I don’t have any special background, I’m just a Beta from a desolate and impoverished planet, and I don’t have any enemies colluding with me… If there’s one thing special about me, it’s that I have psychic abilities. I can see things in the distance by traversing solid objects, acting as a substitute for my eyes.”

Although Pei Zhaozhou mentally prepared himself, he didn’t expect this reason. It didn’t seem real, like a superhero described in movies, yet it strangely explained all the abnormalities Si Huaixi had shown all along. Since Si Huaixi wasn’t an enemy of any country, Pei Zhaozhou presented him with a medical report. 

“What’s this?” Si Huaixi took the medical report, flipping through the listed examinations and asked.

Pei Zhaozhou’s gaze narrowed slightly as he said, “I’m pregnant, and earlier, due to my chaotic pheromones, I needed the comfort and company of the child’s father…” 

There was a loud sound as the medical report fell to the ground. “!!!” 

Si Huaixi’s inner turmoil surged, his azure eyes widening suddenly, and his voice trembling, “Brother Pei, you… you are carrying my child?!!!”
