At twelve o'clock in the morning, Lin Yan stepped into the house without delay as if checking the time.

Qi Mu was lying on the sofa in his pajamas, playing games on his phone.

"Are there so many natural and man-made disasters?" She asked, without looking up, her fingers kept making superficial movements on the keyboard.

"I didn't work overtime today, so I went out to chat with my friends." Lin Yan put down his bag and put on slippers before walking over, dragged a chair and sat down opposite Qi Mu.

Qi Mu glanced at her suspiciously out of the corner of his eye, and said while playing games: "Your friend is quite capable of chatting, why don't you just hold candlelight and talk all night long?"

Lin Yan smiled silently, without an interface, habitually looked towards the dining table, and found a cake box.

"Huh? Did you buy it?"

"What?" Qi Mu looked up blankly.

"That cake over there." Lin Yan raised his arm and pointed to the dining table.

"Could it be me who did it?" Qi Mu sat up, erected his feet, and stared at the screen of the phone, as if the game was at a critical juncture and needed to concentrate and concentrate.

Lin Yan looked at her for a while, and then asked: "Can I see what game you are playing?"

Qi Mu raised his eyebrows, and stared over with displeasure: "Why should I show you?"

Lin Yan casually said that being rejected was expected.

Both of them fell into silence, and the atmosphere in the room suddenly became dull.

After a while, Qi Mu suddenly said, "Liu Sheng bought the cake, it was not poisoned, you can eat it if you want."

"He has been here?" Lin Yan immediately remembered what happened in the morning, and quickly asked, "How is the school?"

As soon as this matter was mentioned, Qi Mu's face changed slightly, revealing a disturbed expression.

"Don't go anywhere for the time being, that guy told me to think it over before making a decision."

Liu Sheng can be regarded as self-cultivated, he was scolded so bloody that he still came to the door with a cake, and if he changed to someone who was a little impatient, he probably didn't care about it, and let her fend for herself.

Aiwujiwu also has a limit, not to mention that Qi Chengxi doesn't care much about children, even if Liu Sheng wants to please him, he doesn't have to spend time on children.

"Your Uncle Liu actually loves you very much."

"Damn, there's no need for you to speak for him." Qi Mu lowered his head, his forehead hair covered his eyebrows and eyes, casting fragmented shadows on his face.

Lin Yan went to the dining table and cut a small piece of cake, put it on a plate, folded it back to the sofa and handed it to the child. The child said blankly, "Didn't you see I'm busy?"

Lin Yan had no choice but to dig a small corner with a fork and bring it to the child's lips. The classmate Xiao Qi, who is busy with everything, opened his mouth and ate it very naturally, and even smacked his mouth as if aftertaste.

Lin Yan couldn't help recalling the initial relationship between the two of them. The child was full of hostility towards her. As long as the food she cooked with her own hands, she would be disgusted and cast aside. At that time, I probably never expected that there would be a relationship between her and the child. Such a slightly intimate moment.

It took Lin Yan 15 minutes to finish feeding that small piece of cake. Occasionally, the child would be as quiet and harmless as he is now, putting away all the sharp claws and immersing himself in the game world alone.

"You don't think the cake is too sweet?" Lin Yan put the empty plate on the tea table and smiled meaningfully.

Qi Mu's body seemed to have a pair of invisible tentacles, and his perception was keen. Hearing such words and such tone, he immediately became vigilant, and stared at Lin Yan with those black and white cat eyes.

"I remember one time I cooked mung bean sugar porridge for breakfast, and you didn't even touch it, and only ate wheat bread." Lin Yan recalled the past and narrated, but the listeners had gloomy and complicated expressions.

"You're very noisy." Qi Mu said unceremoniously, "You're long-winded, like an old woman."

The old woman was not angry when she was scolded, she did not stay away from the center of the typhoon uncharacteristically, and even reached out to touch the hairy head of the child.

As a result of lightly twisting the tiger's whiskers, she was pushed away by the little tiger's paw. Although the child's slender arms and legs seemed very thin, the force was astonishing. Feet on stomach, unable to get up.

"Who did you go to see tonight?" Qi Mu stood up straight, staring at Lin Yan on the ground and asked coldly.

"Ordinary friends are also doctors." When Lin Yan fell down, his clothes were lifted up, revealing his snow-white and smooth belly. The child stepped on it with his bare feet, and he didn't use much force. The calluses on the soles of his feet rubbed against it. The layer of tender meat instantly made half of Lin Yan's body crispy (cough cough) and softened.

"Liar, are you going to see the old man?" Qi Mu moved his feet up half a point, his toes stuck under his clothes, and his slightly long nails gently scraped the tender skin.

Lin Yan twisted his body in fear of tickle, and reflexively reached out to touch the child's feet. The child lost his footing and fell straight forward - the direction was facing the sharp corner of the coffee table, if he really jumped on it Go, either break the forehead or change beyond recognition, no matter what kind of consequences, it is unimaginable.

Lin Yan turned pale with fright, and it was too late to get up to stop the tragedy from happening, so he could only watch helplessly as the child hit the coffee table with a "boom" and then remained motionless.

"Qi Mu!" Lin Yan struggled on all fours, pulled the child's body, and saw a small lump near the center of the child's eyebrows, the middle part was bruised and purple, and the skin was scratched, bloodshot A little bit overflowed, and the surrounding area was red and swollen.

Qi Mu was probably knocked into a little delirious, and his eyes became blurred. Coupled with the slightly dazed expression at the moment, it is really pitiful.

"I didn't do it on purpose... Hold on, I'll get medicinal wine to rub it for you." Lin Yan was about to stand up, but the child grabbed his clothes.

"You did it on purpose." Qi Mu trembled while panting in pain, his voice changed even more, "How dare you fucking treat me like this..."

If it is really necessary to pursue responsibility, who will do it first?

While screaming silently from the bottom of his heart, Dr. Lin's mind automatically inserted the picture of himself stroking the child's head, and he was so guilty that he didn't dare to cry for grievances.

"It's my fault. Let go of your hands first. I'm going to get the first-aid kit." Lin Yan coaxed softly. Seeing the pouch on the child's forehead getting bigger and bigger, his heart felt as if he was on fire.

Qi Mu didn't intend to let go at all, his facial features were twisted into a ball in pain and he wanted to pretend nothing had happened: "Tell me first, who are you going to see tonight?"

Lin Yan originally planned to have a good talk with the child tonight, but he did not expect such an accident to occur, and he did not have the patience to think over his words, so he explained truthfully: "The doctor in another hospital works in the obstetrics and gynecology department. She was the one who took care of your mother back then. Delivery."

Qi Mu's face became paler, and he didn't know whether it was because of pain or anger.

"What do you mean?"

"I just want to know the truth."

"Damn! You still think of yourself as Sherlock Holmes? What's the truth? The eternal injustice is still a mystery?" Qi Mu's face turned from white to red when he was excited, and the bag that was knocked out was also congested instantly, and he stopped The blood streaked out of the skin again, "What did you find out, huh?"

Lin Yan looked worriedly at the child's face that was flushed and was about to bleed, and couldn't help expressing his concern again: "I'll help you with the medicine first, otherwise the eyelids will be swollen."

In just a few minutes, the child's forehead almost rivaled that of Shou Xinggong's. The little swollen lump made her unable to open her eyes, and the scarlet liquid slid down the corners of her eyes, making the whole night a ghostly sight.

Qi Mu also seemed to realize that the wound was getting worse, so he let go of his hand and let Lin Yan go to get the first aid kit.

"Do you feel like throwing up?"

"By the way, you have been used to it for so long, even if you have it."

Lin Yan washed off the blood on her surface, wrapped ice cubes in a towel and applied a cold compress for a while, and finally applied Yunnan Baiyao lightly with a cotton swab.

"Do you feel dizzy then? Do you see things blurry?" Lin Yan continued to ask worriedly.

Qi Mu said impatiently: "No, no, stop talking nonsense to me. Let me ask you, what did the midwife say to you?"

Lin Yan thought, it’s really good intentions that don’t pay off, isn’t she asking more carefully because she is worried that the child may have a concussion, my heart shines on the moon, and the bright moon shines on the ditch.

"Did your mother tell you that she was pregnant with twins?" Just as Lin Yan asked these words, the child's face immediately turned pale.

"What else do you know?" The child's arrogance seemed to be completely extinguished by a basin of cold water, leaving only restlessness and nervousness.

"In fact, what your mother encountered is a very normal 'vanishing twin syndrome'. Although it is not very common, it is definitely not a weird phenomenon." Lin Yan said.

Qi Mu stared closely at Lin Yan, the fierceness in his eyes was gone, and there was a hint of hope in his deep pupils, as if a drowning person was desperately trying to grab a straw: "Normal? But I put another fetus Killed."

"It's not your problem. The disappearance of twins may also be due to immune rejection caused by maternal-fetal blood type incompatibility, or abnormal vascular anastomosis."

Qi Mu didn't understand the meaning of those words, but he understood that Lin Yan was explaining that the "disappearance" of another fetus had nothing to do with her directly.

"Isn't it because of me?" The child frowned in confusion. Unexpectedly, this action drew the wound on his forehead, and the small swollen lump burst into sharp pain immediately, and the child gasped from the pain.

The child who had let go of his hostility looked a little helpless, his cat-like eyes were blinking wetly, and no one could help but worry when he saw it.

"It has nothing to do with you." Lin Yan said with certainty.

Qi Mu was stupefied, as if he was slowly digesting Lin Yan's words. This is like a murderer who was sentenced to a fixed-term imprisonment and was suddenly told that he was innocent and could be released without charge. Know whether to be ecstatic or wronged.

Lin Yan tried to hold the child's cold hand, but found that she was not rejected, so she hugged the child's shoulders.

"Then it's your turn to tell me, when did your 'other twin sister' share the same body with you?" Lin Yan asked pleasantly.

The author has something to say:

The information about "vanishing twin syndrome" comes from Du Niang's encyclopedia. If you are interested, you can search it yourself. The article is not popular science. (Okay, I'm lazy.)

A long time ago, reading Cai Jun's "Paper Baby" made me feel furious. I didn't expect that one day I would quote this medical knowledge in my articles.
