Chapter 387: Chapter 257 Old Friend Enters My Dream_2

The air was filled with the distinct scent of hospital disinfectant, mingled with the faint, unique aroma of the gynecology and obstetrics department, which Chen Yun detected with his keen sense of smell.

In addition, there seemed to be a stack of crisp new banknotes on them, which felt like they were specifically prepared for a gift that wasn’t given.

All this information told him that this couple had just come from the hospital.

They were clearly seeking an answer that the hospital couldn’t provide—the gender of their unborn child.

In China, hospitals usually do not disclose the gender of a fetus to the pregnant woman or her family, mainly based on national laws and regulations.

"The Population and Family Planning Law of the People’s Republic of China" and the "Regulations Prohibiting Non-medical Necessity Fetal Gender Identification and Selective Gender Abortion" explicitly forbid non-medically necessary fetal gender identification.

The primary aim of these regulations is to prevent gender-selective abortions due to the traditional preference for male children, thereby avoiding severe gender imbalance in society.

Seeing this,

Chen Yun’s spiritual power quietly unfolded, acting like invisible tentacles reaching deep into the woman’s body.

He could feel the tiny life inside, growing in its unique way and radiating the vitality of life.

Chen Yun’s mind sensed the heartbeat of the fetus within his wife—a healthy, strong life rhythm—and he instantly determined the child’s gender.

At the same time,

the couple had just finished scanning the QR code to make a payment.

The sound of "Alipay received 10 yuan" rang out through Chen Yun’s phone speaker.

The couple, seeing this and about to say something,

were caught off-guard by Chen Yun, who quickly spoke up, "A girl, very healthy."

After saying this, he immediately began packing up his things.

He didn’t resort to spouting high-sounding nonsense.

Things like: "Your child will be the most wonderful gift in your life. Whether a boy or a girl, they will possess the best of both of you—kindness, bravery, intelligence. He or she will be your pride, making your lives more complete..."

Firstly, because he knew the accurate result, his spiritual power scanning was more accurate than an X-ray; no need to babble nonsensically to cope or deceive.

Secondly, because he was in a hurry to leave work and didn’t plan to carry on providing emotional value like typical fortunetellers.

Lastly, and most importantly,

Chen Yun’s extra-dimensional sense of smell, which could perceive information from the past year, had picked up a lot.

He understood that this couple did not practice gender discrimination nor harbor preferences for a male child.

Over the past year, this husband and wife prepared various baby products meticulously—whether delicate pink dresses or blue little pants, they selected each item carefully, ensuring that whether a boy or girl, the child would receive equal love and care.

In their home, a warm little corner had been arranged with both a soft pink blanket and a sturdy blue toy truck, each item filled with their limitless expectations and deep love for the forthcoming new life.

Thus, the couple, even upon knowing it was a girl, would have no adverse reaction.

He could inform them without worry.

Therefore, Chen Yun paid no mind to the couple’s surprised and bewildered gazes towards this rapid fortune-telling experience.

Seeing that it was already late in the morning,

Chen Yun decisively packed up some miscellaneous items into a parcel, looking ready to leave directly.

Those who couldn’t bear to leave their lunchtime spot became anxious and started to shout, trying to make him stay.

But Chen Yun was truly quick to flee,

suddenly running far away,

disappearing from the sight of passersby.

Leaving behind a crowd of puzzled onlookers, who stood in the wind watching disorder take over the abandoned tables and chairs.

And the couple, equally bewildered, reflected on the rapid fortune-telling experience, with many things they wanted to say but didn’t know where to start.

··································

Quickly leaving the park,

Chen Yun wandered around this small-town, not recognized as a tourist city, lacking the prosperity seen in the tourist town of Cuiyun Valley.

Nevertheless, after daylight broke, it was indeed different from the quiet small town of the early morning hours.

Even such an unknown town still seemed bustling and lively.

With a large population came many disadvantages, but also many advantages.

At least the complex life of humanity was exactly what Chen Yun wanted to see during his world travels.

Thinking this over, Chen Yun, accompanied by silly dog Bai Jin, arrived at a restaurant.

The place wasn’t very crowded, but there were people sitting and dining.

Looking around,

Chen Yun spotted someone familiar he had seen in the park.

It was not the young passerby who had scorned him and whom he had slightly punished.

Instead, it was the street musician who had been holding a guitar and casually playing melancholic music in the park.

That musician was now sitting at a small round table in the corner,

his back to the window, with soft sunlight falling behind him,

casting a faint golden outline around him.

His hair was slightly messy, each strand seemingly telling a story, complementing his worn denim jacket.

Seeing this,

Chen Yun, with a smile, sat opposite the man.

This caused the musician to look up at Chen Yun with some surprise.

He recognized Chen Yun.

Earlier, while playing his guitar in the park, he had noticed a crowd shouting excitedly around Chen Yun who was telling fortunes, all showing faces of disbelief.
