Shazhu had no idea that He Yushui had been taking exams over the past few days; he didn't even realize she had graduated from high school.
Lately, seeing Lou Xiaoe—Xu Damao’s wife—with a growing belly while his own wife showed no signs of pregnancy left him feeling rather disgruntled. To make matters worse, Qin Huiru had been making excuses to talk to him and get closer, which had drawn Shazhu’s attention back to her. At times, he would even sneak glances at her backside, thinking to himself that she looked like she could surely bear children. Although Shazhu now had a foster son, He Jianshe, he wasn't his own flesh and blood, and he longed for a biological child.
Li Chunhua was anxious as well. She had gone to the hospital to have her IUD removed months ago—coincidentally running into Qin Huiru there, though luckily, Qin hadn't noticed her. She wanted to give Shazhu a child, but years of living with various men had likely taken a toll on her health, making it strangely difficult for her to conceive. She couldn't help but think of Chen Mo; his medical skills were so remarkable that he had even helped Lou Xiaoe and her husband conceive. She hoped to find an opportunity to ask him for a consultation.
