Su Jingyang stood stiffly as the people came and go around him on the bustling street. His originally big eyes were now even rounder, and his whole person was in a state of bewilderment and disbelief.

He had never thought that he would be punished for a such casual sentence and be thrown here by something called a system¹!!!

And the sentence that caused him to suffer such a catastrophe, in his opinion, was not excessive at all.

—He just harbored pure curiosity when he interrupted a conversation between female colleagues about the recent news of a pregnant woman jumping from a building, "Is it really so painful to give birth?"

As a man with no father and no mother, who was single for 23 years and had only been interested in men, Su Jingyang barely had any in-depth contact with women, and his understanding in all aspects of women was relatively lacking. In fact, he had heard about the pain of having a child before, but he always saw people on the news who accidentally gave birth while going to the bathroom. And incidents of babies 'falling off' while the mother was casually walking down the street. It inevitably caused him to have a kind of illusion that childbirth was like picking a fruit from a tree and praying it was ripe.

He really didn't have any malicious intentions in asking that sentence.

His quiet question was quickly covered up by the loud, indignant voices. His female colleague did not hear it and did not answer him, so he just let it go.

Unexpectedly, he had just walked into the pantry to pour himself some water, when a voice full of anger and contempt suddenly appeared in his mind: "

The unsuspecting Su Jingyang was startled, and the cup he was holding almost fell to the ground. He looked around but there was no one. He thought he was having auditory hallucinations, but the voice continued to linger, "

Su Jingyang was inexplicably accused, and subconsciously asked: "Scumbag? Are you talking about me?"

The voice contained strong hostility, and it said viciously: "

What the hell was this!? Su Jingyang looked around him and silently wondered if he was becoming crazy. The voice said coldly: "

Su Jingyang couldn't tell whether he was more surprised or more speechless at the time. It turned out that everything that happened was because that strange thing was provoked by something he carelessly said!

However, his conscience was clean. He was not afraid of gods and ghosts, and he didn't take the strange thing seriously either. He was thinking in his heart: 'Who are you? You'll force me to give birth? I'm a tough guy, you can't make me do anything even if you beg to death².'

Holding his cup while preparing to return to his seat calmly, Su Jingyang heard another strange noise in his mind, and then.... Then, he didn't have time to react at all, because he suddenly appeared here after a while. Strange streets from ancient times!!!

Everything happened so quickly, he wondered if he was just dreaming, but everything was so real!

The guy called the system directly implanted some information in his brain, and he was shocked after receiving it.

Because according to it, there were three sexes in this world: men, women, and duo?!

The so-called duo, except for their smaller skeletons, looked exactly like men. The biggest difference was that they could conceive, get pregnant! And deliver a child, or give birth!

The most obvious sign of a duo is a red mole on a palm of their hand. The size and shape would vary from person to person, and could be either on the left or the right hand. The red mole would accompany them to death and will never disappear. Even if you dug up the meat on your palms, it will still grow on the new skin later.

Su Jingyang suddenly remembered the things that system said before, and the hairs on the back of his neck stood up, giving birth to an extremely bad premonition.

He suddenly raised his hands and looked at his palms with wide eyes.

There was a red mole the size of a soybean in the palm of his right hand!

Su Jingyang's brain blanked, his breathing became unsteady, and his hands trembled. He was sure that the body was still his own, but he has lived for so many years and had never seen this thing on his palm. Could it be that...

"System!!!" Su Jingyang felt like he was going to explode.

The system’s icy voice came right after,

Su Jingyang's scalp turned numb, it was exactly what he thought!

His throat closed up for a moment before he opened his mouth and said in disbelief: "I just asked an innocent question and didn't do anything hurtful! Do you have to do this to me?!"

The system listened to Su Jingyang’s words and said angrily:

"....When did I even?!" Su Jingyang was accused of being a scumbag for no reason. It was ridiculous. Even though he was indeed ignorant in some aspects, how could he be made to seem like a tumor of society³!? It was too extreme!

He still hasn't gotten used to talking to the system in his mind, so it seems to other people that he is talking to the air. The eyes of the people passing him looked odd, and they avoided him without realizing it.

Su Jingyang noticed, and moved to a corner to avoid those unfamiliar eyes. He squatted down and continued arguing with the system a bit indignantly: "I have never been like what you said!"

Su Jingyang was so angry that he wanted to breathe fire.

He has been single for so many years, has not even held a girl's hand, and has never hurt anyone. This system wants to punish him to give birth just because of one sentence? It was too unreasonable!

But at this time Su Jingyang also understood that the system was what brought him to this world; and if he wanted to go back, he would have to ask it for help instead of demanding help and grinding head-to-head with it.

Su Jingyang took a deep breath and took a long minute to calm himself down. He said to it in a friendly tone, "This is the end of the matter, I will tell you the truth. I like men. I have never intentionally done anything bad to any woman before, and I will not do anything bad for women in the future. Let it go. Let me go back."

The system coldly snorted:

"....." Su Jingyang was completely speechless.

He understood that this system was full of grievances and hostility, and that it was also paranoid. It will not give him any opportunity to reason with it.

The point is, he was confronted with such a mysterious thing. He literally had no power.

Su Jingyang's eyes were dull, and his heart was cold. God, why did he meet such a disaster despite being an upright and lawful young man??

In the end, what to do……

The system sneered,

"......" Please just let me die quietly.

Notes:

- A common, usually AI, partner of the MCs in transmigration stories. They are usually little helpers who give MCs tasks to help them achieve a certain purpose, and often help MCs in critical junctures. This one seems a bit evil though...

- Literally speaking it's not the real message but I think that the original intent still shines through.

- Same with note 2
