I don't know whether Shen Fangyu's sincere and touching request for leave, or whether Dean Cao couldn't bear to disturb him, so he simply found foreign help. After a few days, an unexpected visitor suddenly came to Jiang Xu's house.

The man's clothes are very ordinary, and at first glance, he doesn't look like a particularly memorable one.

Sitting in the living room of Jiang Xu's house, he took the teacup from Shen Fangyu, thanked him politely, and slowly introduced to the two: "My name is Zheng Qi, and I am a staff member of the Secrecy Bureau."

Although Shen Fangyu had said before that Dean Cao said that someone from above would come to them in the near future, but the moment they heard this introduction, Jiang Xu and Shen Fangyu still looked at each other subconsciously.

Zheng Qi caught this detail, his eyes moved slightly, and there was a little more thought in his eyes.

Although he could guess that Zheng Qi's name was probably not real, Shen Fangyu still addressed him carefully: "Mr. Zheng, what can you do?"

Zheng Qi took out some certificates and confidential documents and handed them to the two to look at. On the one hand, he was proving his identity, and on the other hand, he also explained the purpose of coming, "I came here for the operation of male pregnancy."

"The director of Jihua Hospital provided us with the information that Dr. Jiang Xu and Dr. Shen Fangyu will be mainly responsible for this operation. I am sorry that I came to visit so late because of the political background investigation of the two doctors and their family members in private. .”

He cut to the chase and said, "I've seen the photos of the two doctors many times. If I'm not mistaken, they should be Dr. Jiang and Dr. Shen. There is nothing wrong with your review, but in order to cooperate with the work, I still hope that the two can get their ID cards." Come out and check your identity further for me."

Hearing Jiang Xu's words, he made a gesture to get up, Shen Fangyu pressed his shoulder, walked to the study room, dug out the two people's IDs, and handed them to Zheng Qi.

"Thanks."

Zheng Qi took the documents, looked through them carefully for a long time, raised his head, and handed the things back to Shen Fangyu.

"I came this time because I wanted to see that patient." Zheng Qi glanced at Jiang Xu's abdomen, which was obviously different from ordinary people, and said bluntly: "But now, I think I have to confirm... the relationship between the two of you."

Seeing that the two were silent, Zheng Qi put his hands on his overlapping knees, and continued: "I hope you are honest enough and don't hide anything, so that we can help you better and cooperate for a win-win situation."

After he finished speaking, neither Jiang Xu nor Shen Fangyu made a sound, the room was very quiet, as if they could even hear the wind outside the window.

After a long while, Zheng Qi laughed, "Dr. Jiang, Dr. Shen, under the pressure of the current public opinion, if you have the courage to decide to perform this operation, I believe you also believe in the country. You don't have to have any ideological concerns. I will protect you." It's my job."

Shen Fangyu glanced at Jiang Xu, and pursed his lips hesitantly.

After a while, Jiang Xu raised his eyes and said solemnly: "We are lovers."

Zheng Qi nodded, not surprised in his eyes, "The patient?"

Zheng Qi's calm attitude comforted Jiang Xu to a certain extent. He looked down at his obviously distended abdomen and said to Zheng Qi, "I am the patient."

"Understood," Zheng Qi said, "but I still need your inspection report to support the information you said."

Shen Fangyu took out the kraft paper bag and handed all the documents to Zheng Qi. After Zheng Qi read it, he said to Jiang Xu: "In the next month, we will have someone **** you for an inspection to further confirm that the situation is true. , At the same time, I will take the two of you to the operating room to check and check the equipment in advance, and you can ask for any needs at any time."

"And Dr. Shen," he said, "there will be staff coming to test your professional ability and psychological condition in the near future to confirm that you can be the chief surgeon to perform the operation. There may be interruptions, please understand."

He wrote down a mobile phone number and pushed it in front of the two of them, "In the future, if you need anything, you don't need to contact Dean Cao. For anything, just contact me."

"Also," he leaned back, moved his eyes between the two for a moment, and said, "I want to ask you two about the authorship of the paper..."

"Give him both the newsletter and the first book." Shen Fangyu said.

Jiang Xu pressed Shen Fangyu's hand and shook his head.

"That's one."

"Don't mention me," Jiang Xu said: "Don't mention me a word in the paper, this is the best protection for me and Xiaoxiao."

"Can-"

"Shen Fangyu, you are the chief surgeon. If the operation is successful, this is the honor you deserve." Jiang Xu looked at him: "I don't care about this article, and don't look down on others."

He took a sip of warm boiled water, and his eyes were still the same Jiang Xu who had never conceded defeat, "Even without this paper, I promise, I can still apply for the chief physician in front of you. Instead of worrying about the signature, you should worry about it." Don't lose to me someday."

"Jiang Xu..."

"You don't need to say any more," Jiang Xu interrupted Shen Fangyu's unspoken rebuttal, "I'm in charge of this matter, I've decided."

"Dr. Jiang is right," Zheng Qi said on the sidelines, "Dr. Jiang's name is signed on the thesis, and Dr. Jiang is not included in the operation list. It is indeed easier to attract speculation, and it is easier to be followed by unscrupulous media."

"However, in the name of the country, I assure you that even if the media reports about the incident after the operation is successful, the relationship between the two of you, as well as the privacy of your children, will never be exposed to the public at all. You can trust the strength of the country."

He said: "In addition, considering your relationship, I will apply to the higher authorities after I go back today to find a suitable and secluded residence for the two of you in the suburbs of City A. Our personnel will also protect you until this matter is discussed. Calm down."

"But Dr. Shen is the chief surgeon. If the operation is successful, we will definitely report and publicize it to all parts of the world, especially the Western media. At that time, we will not allow the media to over-hype, but the country needs you to show up and conduct appropriate publicity. Exchange, I hope you can accept and understand."

Shen Fangyu frowned, "I'm mentally prepared."

"Besides...if the operation fails," Zheng Qi glanced at Jiang Xu, "this matter must be kept completely secret, and no one else will know except us."

Perhaps because he was worried that his implication was not obvious enough, he paused for a moment, and further added:

"If Dr. Jiang has an accident during the operation, we will try our best to rescue him with all resources, but if we can't save him," he paused, "in order to prevent leaks, we may notify your family members. If you choose to be cremated immediately, no one will know the real cause of your death except your family members, is that acceptable to you?"

Jiang Xu took a deep breath and said to him, "Yes."

"Okay," Zheng Qi's eyes lingered on his face for a long time before continuing: "Since Dr. Jiang is not going to participate in the promotion, I promise you that we will definitely protect your identity information and create a complete copy for you. The side-by-side resume covers the time difference of your pregnancy and childbirth, avoiding the hospital's speculation about your departure, and you can go to the clinic for a period of time after you are discharged from the hospital to further solidify the side-by-side experience."

"Dr. Shen can also prepare to take a vacation in the near future. Regarding your vacation, I will negotiate with the superiors of Jihua Hospital," Zheng Qi said: "In addition to going to Jihua regularly to do some difficult operations to maintain hand feeling, at other times, the country hopes that you It was very important to us to be able to dedicate ourselves to the preparation of this operation.”

"The things I just said will be documented and signed by the two of you. Besides, if you have any questions before or after the operation, you can come to me."

After he finished speaking, he stood up and held out his hands to the two, "You believe in the country, and the country will protect you well."

"You are very brave," Zheng Qi said solemnly, "I wish you good luck."

About one month before Jiang Xu's due date, Shen Fangyu finally handed over other work in the hospital, and was ready to devote himself to the operation preparation.

That day, he was planning to go home directly, when he got to the parking lot, he received a call from Jiang Xu.

"I'll be back soon." He inserted the key into the car with one hand, held the phone in the other, and tilted his head slightly: "Is there anything you want to eat? I'll bring it back on the way after get off work."

Jiang Xu was wearing a mask and hat, and was still wrapped in a thick down jacket in City A, where the spring had already appeared. Although it looked a little bloated at first glance, it could at least block the overly swollen pregnant belly.

"I'll be waiting for you at the notary office." He glanced at the sign not far away, and said to the person on the phone, "I've got your ID card and household registration book for you, so you can drive over here."

"Notary office?"

When Shen Fangyu arrived in a hurry, he was still surprised, "Didn't you say that there is no need for a property notarization? And the news of buying a house hasn't come out yet."

"Be individual," he held a thick folder, looked at Shen Fangyu, and dropped four words, "Dedicated guardianship."

Voluntary guardianship means that an adult with full capacity for civil conduct can independently appoint a guardian through written agreement and notarization.

This relationship will legally take precedence over legal guardianship, that is, other relatives such as parents.

Originally, the law was introduced in response to an aging population.

But soon, many same-sex couples found that although the scope of this law was not as wide as that of a marriage certificate, it was the one that best covered the rights and obligations of spouses among the current legal provisions, so they took advantage of it one after another. stand up.

The notarization of intended guardianship has thus become a "marriage certificate" in another sense for homosexuals.

As the designated intended guardian, after the ward loses the ability to act, he will have responsibilities and obligations such as medical care, property management, and litigation rights protection.

In layman's terms, once the notarization is done, Shen Fangyu can sign Jiang Xu's surgery consent form in an upright manner.

Of course, there is also the "Informed Consent for Giving Up Treatment".

Jiang Xu gave his chief surgeon, Dr. Shen, to give up the right to rescue him when it was irreparable.

Seeing Shen Fangyu's hand trembling slightly, Jiang Xu gently squeezed his forearm, touching his hand casually, "Don't be nervous, it's not just for that operation."

"You said... the law cannot protect us, you will give it to me."

Jiang Xu said: "Then my answer is, if a law cannot protect us, I will use other laws to protect you."

"You have proposed to me before, this time it is my proposal to you," Jiang Xu's eyes reflected the blooming trees in March, and his lover with a pair of peach blossom eyes, "Mr. Shen, Do you want to promise?"

Shen Fangyu's proposal cost a yacht, a handful of fireworks, a song, and a pair of rings.

And Jiang Xu's proposal cost two notary fees of 3,000 yuan.

The staff of the notary office are quite strict, repeatedly confirming their relationship status, and emphasizing the seriousness of this matter many times, finally agreed to handle it for them.

The solemn and solemn attitude, the treaty in black and white, and the big red seal together are considered proof.

Coming out of the notary office, Shen Fangyu acted as if he had never been married. He looked around with the passport, and finally stuffed it into the inner pocket of his jacket excitedly - the most intimate place.

"Ours is much more expensive than a marriage certificate, and we can't leave casually for the sake of money." He teased while hugging Jiang Xu's arm.

Jiang Xu put his hands in his pockets, cocked his lips, and said following him: "If you want to leave, return the notary fees to me."

"I can't afford to pay back the money," Shen Fangyu reached into Jiang Xu's pocket to hold his hand, "So even if I'm killed, I won't leave."

The warm spring sun fell on his body, making Jiang Xure, who was wearing a down jacket, sweat all over. He patted Shen Fangyu's hand away and said, "Hot."

"Take off your down jacket." Shen Fangyu helped him unzip it before getting into the car, and when he got into the passenger seat, he helped him fasten his seat belt before turning to the driver's seat.

As soon as he put down the car window, a gust of wind suddenly blew out of the window, and the cherry blossom petals on the treetops were blown down and floated into the car along with the spring breeze.

Shen Fangyu's eyes followed the petaled flower and turned his head, and then saw the soft petals lightly landed on Jiang Xu's neckline, just covering a small mole on his collarbone.

He couldn't help hooking the corners of his mouth, stretched out his hand and gently brushed the petals from Jiang Xu's side neck, then put his hand on his neck, leaned over and kissed Jiang Xu's forehead.

"Spring is here," he said, "Happy wedding, baby."

Jiang Xu's face blushed imperceptibly, he turned his face away, stretched out his hand to push Shen Fangyu away, and complained in a low voice, "Why are you so grumpy?"

However, the spring breeze blowing across his face passed through his heart, and the refreshing smell of camphor tree slipped down his heart. He seemed to be belatedly accepting the title of this tired person.

My heart is still a little hot.

Shen Fangyu smiled, "If I don't fall in love with you, who should I fall in love with?"

On the way home, they happened to pass by the Civil Affairs Bureau of City A. Couples of newcomers holding red books came out of the gate arm in arm. The peach blossoms at the entrance of the Civil Affairs Bureau were in full bloom. , Reflecting the faces of lovers in love.

Before falling in love with Shen Fangyu, Jiang Xu also thought that one day, he would get married in the Civil Affairs Bureau.

Unexpectedly, the red line of fate is extremely confusing, and in the end, he will actually get married in a notary.

Jiang Xu withdrew his gaze, lowered his head suddenly, and glanced at the document bag in his hand in an unclear manner.

What Shen Fangyu didn't know was that before he came, Jiang Xu had made another notarization.

In the room with bright and clean windows, Jiang Xu sat in front of the staff with a calm and natural expression:

"...If my life ends, I hope that my intended guardian will sell a property in Yuefeng Community for cash for me, and together with all my deposits, it will be compared to pre-marital property for inheritance distribution."

"If my intended guardian has children, he will inherit one-half of this part of the assets, and the other half will be inherited by my parents. If he has no children, one-fifth will be inherited by him. The rest went to my parents."

"In addition, as of the date of this notarization, if there are any new fixed assets in my name, after my death, please compare it to post-marital property, and give half of it to my intended guardian. My parents have passed away, and all will be inherited by my intended guardian."

Finally, the man in the black down jacket tightened his neckline, and added: "The calculation process is rounded and accurate to single digits."

It was a notarial will.

That is also Jiang Xu's deep love that is calm, reserved, and never revealed openly.

——If one law cannot guarantee it, he uses several other laws to protect Shen Fangyu.

The author has something to say:

Intentional guardianship is a clause that is relatively more suitable for **** groups. After discovering that **** people use this clause, the country has not amended the law to increase restrictions. The staff of the notary office will not refuse to apply for same-sex couples. If you want to have guardianship, go ahead and just say you are a homosexual. Generally, they will also confirm the emotional status and marital relationship of the two people, and refuse to apply for those whose emotional status is not stable enough, and those who are married according to the records.

The information related to the intended guardianship written in this chapter comes from popular science articles on the Internet and Baidu Encyclopedia~
