Li Xu told the couple that Wang Linlin had pseudohermaphroditism.
But it was obvious neither of them had ever heard the dical term.
Li Xu had to explain in more detail. "Pseudohermaphroditism is a very rare congenital disorder."
"It’s characterized by the patient having male chromosos—that is, XY chromosos—but their external genitalia appear female, or sowhere between male and female. To put it simply, your biological sex is male. You don’t have a uterus or ovaries. Instead, you possess undeveloped or extrely underdeveloped male reproductive organs, such as undescended testes."
Hearing this,
Wang Linlin and Du Qiang started to panic.
They were certain that Li Xu wasn’t joking.
He was being serious.
Li Xu continued to explain, "This condition is why you don’t nstruate and are unable to have children. Although your body looks female and you have female secondary sex characteristics, like developed breasts, from a fundantal biological standpoint, you are male."
Every word of Li Xu’s explanation landed like a hamr blow to the hearts of Wang Linlin and Du Qiang.
Wang Linlin’s body began to tremble.
Her eyes grew panicked, filled with helplessness.
It felt as if her entire world had collapsed in that instant.
She had lived her whole life as a girl, never once doubting her gender.
Yet now, a doctor was telling her she was a man.
Du Qiang was utterly dumbfounded.
All his previous anger, doubt, and all the ridiculous suspicions he’d had, now dissolved into a void.
He stared at the "girlfriend" he deeply loved, his mind echoing with Li Xu’s words, ’you are male,’ and the dical term, ’pseudohermaphroditism.’
Nearby, Song Sisi was also frozen in shock.
’So this is what’s going on?’
The viewers in the livestream were equally, imasurably shocked.
"Oh my god... pseudohermaphroditism..."
"This... This is just too cruel..."
"So Linlin is really... a guy?"
"My god, I can’t process this... This is too much information..."
"I feel so bad for Linlin... This is such a huge blow..."
Other netizens started making jokes about Wang Linlin’s identity as a strear.
"So, has Linlin been cross-dressing for her streams this whole ti?"
"Holy shit, this has to be the biggest blunder in the history of livestreaming."
"Guess the ’lesbian strear’ rumors are true now, lol. Her numbers are gonna explode."
"Well, Linlin’s definitely going viral now, just not in the way she wanted."
Many others started discussing Wang Linlin’s physical characteristics.
"So the dresses, the makeup... was it all a disguise?"
"What about her figure, then? Don’t tell ... that’s natural?"
"If she’s a guy, then what’s the deal with her chest...?"
Li Xu also noticed the comnts on the phone nearby.
He explained further, "There are so professionals in the livestream chat, and they’re offering the sa explanation. Your chromosos are XY, which are male. Even though your external sex characteristics are feminized, including breast developnt, you don’t have a uterus or ovaries, and you cannot carry a child."
"From the looks of it, your case is a type of pseudohermaphroditism. I recomnd you go to a large general hospital as soon as possible for a more comprehensive workup—chromoso karyotyping, sex hormone level tests, and a laparoscopic examination—to determine the specific type and severity."
In truth,
by the ti Li Xu had finished his explanation, Wang Linlin already mostly believed him.
She asked in despair, "Dr. Li... then... what about Brother Qiang?"
Li Xu saw the terror in Wang Linlin’s eyes and sighed internally.
’This isn’t just a dical issue; it’s an emotional one.’
Just then,
a crisp notification chid from Wang Linlin’s phone.
"DING!"
Wang Linlin froze for a second before stiffly pulling the phone from her pocket.
She assud it was just a regular text ssage.
The screen lit up, displaying a notification about her test results from the hospital.
Trembling, she opened the ssage. Lines of cold text filled her vision.
When she saw the words "Karyotype: 46, XY" and "Uterus and ovaries absent," she nearly fainted.
The hospital test results confird Li Xu’s diagnosis.
Seeing this, the viewers in the livestream all began to guess that the test results were in.
Du Qiang snapped out of it and snatched the phone to see the ssage.
This scene was also broadcast to everyone watching the livestream.
"Chromosos... XY..."p>
"Uterus... ovaries... absent..."
"My god... It’s real..."
"Dr. Li was right..."
Everyone fell silent.
Wang Linlin couldn’t take it anymore.
She let out a wail and burst into tears.
Then she ran out the clinic door.
"Linlin! Linlin!"
Du Qiang, putting his own breakdown aside, grabbed the phone for the livestream and stumbled out after her.
Only Li Xu and Song Sisi were left in the clinic.
The two exchanged a look.
"Boss, do you think it would have been better not to tell them the truth?"
Song Sisi’s heart ached for them.
’They were such a loving couple. After this, they’ll probably break up.’
Li Xu sighed. "She’d already been tested at the hospital. Even if I hadn’t said anything, she would have found out from the results."
"Oh, that’s true."
Song Sisi nodded.
...
Feng City High-speed Railway Station was bustling with people, and announcents for arriving and departing trains played over and over on the speakers.
Yang Qing, dressed in a long, off-white down jacket with a thick scarf wrapped around her neck, clutched a cup of hot coffee and kept peering toward the arrival gate.
"Train G518 has now arrived. Disembarking passengers, please watch your step and exit in an orderly fashion..."
The announcent rang out again.
Yang Qing imdiately rose onto her tiptoes, her eyes scanning the crowd.
A mont later, a tall, well-built figure appeared at the gate.
"Xiao Tian."
Yang Qing called out excitedly and rushed forward.
The figure spotted her, and a smile instantly blood on his face.
"Sis."
Yang Tian hurried over and, before Yang Qing could reach him, swept her into a hug.
"You, you’ve gotten taller again."
Yang Qing laughed, patting Yang Tian on the back.
The siblings hadn’t seen each other in over half a year.
The last ti Yang Tian had co ho was during the sumr.
In the blink of an eye, the New Year had arrived.
"You haven’t changed a bit, Sis. Still as beautiful as ever."
Yang Tian let go of Yang Qing, grinning.
The two of them chatted as they walked out of the station.
