In the Plato continent, childbirth is a major event, which must be based on the family as a unit. The two members of the family must jointly agree to submit an application for pregnancy to the city government where they are located. After approval, there is one month to find a matching family, and under the guidance of a professional organization Scientific pregnancy preparation. Once the pregnancy is confirmed, the families of the paired parties will immediately disassociate, and they are not allowed to meet again in private. When either of the paired families is willing to conceive again, the other party has the priority to be selected.
Since ancient times, childbirth has been the privilege of married people, and unmarried pregnancy is strictly not allowed. In the Dark Ages of the seventeenth century, unmarried pregnancy and homosexual behavior were even listed as blasphemy. Homosexuals were sentenced to be hanged, while unmarried pregnant women were sentenced to be burned as witches.
With the progress of the times, the level of civilization of the society has been continuously improved, especially after the establishment of the Federation, the slogan of "scientific rationality, humanistic democracy" was put forward to severely crack down on feudal superstition, abuse of lynching and other anti-intellectual thoughts, and many cruel and cruel punishments were abolished ( Such as fire punishment, water punishment, barrel punishment, etc.), and revised many obviously unreasonable crime judgment standards, which clearly pointed out that "the unmarried first pregnancy will not die", and the unmarried first pregnancy finally took off the near Two centuries of "witch" hats.
However, the public is still disgusted and critical of this kind of behavior, and even in some cities, it is still a violation of the law to conceive without marriage. But because the federal law clearly stipulates that "abortion is prohibited", these unmarried girls must get married as soon as possible within three months of pregnancy, otherwise they will be collectively locked up in the birth center, and they will be released after their children are born. Sent to the orphanage, and what they themselves are about to face is life in prison for less than two years.
Although the laws of City A do not explicitly prohibit unmarried pregnancies, just like heterosexuality, they are all in a gray area. They are neither advocated nor opposed, but rely on public opinion to judge their own right and wrong nature. The matter of Amy's unmarried pregnancy can be big or small, but it will inevitably arouse social discussion and even criticism.
The news of Amy's pregnancy stunned everyone in the program team, and the assistant director called the casting director Ai Jiesen: "How did you choose people in the first place, so that such a serious problem was not discovered?! Check it out for me right away. What's going on!"
Ai Jiesen hung up the phone before he had time to argue, his face was very ugly, and his chest was full of anger, wishing to scold the guy who nominated Amy back then. But it's useless to lose your temper at this point. For now, we can only find out the truth as soon as possible, and then try to find a way to remedy it to reduce losses. Therefore, he directly found Jin, the staff member in charge of investigating Amy, and asked her to give her a reasonable explanation on the matter within three days, otherwise he would be fired.
Jin was also shocked. During the personal investigation, Amy showed no signs of pregnancy at all. In the eyes of her family, friends, colleagues, neighbors, and even high school teachers and classmates, Amy is such a busy, cheerful, innocent and kind person. . And Amy's friends also revealed that Amy is an "alternative" among them, with a strong concept of chastity as if inherited from the last century.
Amy accepted her friend's evaluation calmly, explaining that because of her family education, she is a very conservative girl. She only had a girlfriend in the freshman year of high school since she was a child, and she has never even had a kiss. The girl transferred in second grade, and her relationship ended there. She said that she loved her first love girlfriend very much, and she often thought of him until later.
When asked if she still wanted to reconnect with her ex-girlfriend, she shook her head and said, "People can't always live in memories, I think I should also be ready to welcome my own new life." Talking about her vision for the future, she smiled shyly: "I hope that my future partner will be a confident, mature, strong and tolerant woman. We love each other deeply and firmly believe that the other person is the one we want to be with for the rest of our lives. We After the wedding with the blessings of family and friends, and then giving each other completely on the wedding night... This is the most romantic love I can imagine."
Amy smiled sincerely in front of the camera, and she was full of beautiful vision for the future inside and outside the words. Jin couldn't help being moved. Not only did she send her his most sincere blessings, but also at the meeting where the casting team finalized the guest list Highly recommend Amy.
Looking at it now, my touch at that time, and all the efforts I made to get Amy selected, are as ridiculous as a self-confident fool. Amy is so smart, she tricks them all!
Jin went to the hospital full of anger to question Amy, but when she really saw Amy on the hospital bed with a pale face and tears streaming down her face, she felt sorry for her, wondering if there was any misunderstanding or hidden secret.
Amy had just received the diagnosis report, and she only felt that she heard a thunderbolt from the blue sky. She looked at Lindsay with a complicated complexion next to her, and looked at the "urine HCG+" in the report, but she still couldn't accept this reality.
This morning, she suddenly felt uncomfortable in her stomach, so she had doubts, and she was thinking of finding a chance to take a pregnancy test after going back, but she didn't expect that she fainted from heat stroke and went to the hospital. This terrible premonition came true unexpectedly—— —She was actually pregnant! What's more, the news seemed to grow wings, and half of the crew knew it in a blink of an eye!
She was flustered and didn't want to believe it was true. She thought: How could she be pregnant? Obviously...! ! ! The scene of that morning suddenly flashed through her mind, she felt as if she had fallen into an ice cave—Sophie! She lied to herself!
She trembled uncontrollably, her mind was full of harsh humming, she couldn't think normally, and she couldn't hear the sound from the outside world, she just wanted to pass out and never wake up again.
Jin called Amy several times in succession, but the other party didn't respond. He just stared straight at the report card in his hand and wept silently, the paper was pierced by teardrops. Seeing Amy's deeply shocked appearance, Jin Yu couldn't bear it, but remembering that she hadn't softened and hesitated when she fabricated a lie to deceive the entire crew, so she hardened her heart and signaled Lindsay to avoid it for the time being and sit down. Come down with a business-like attitude and say: "Miss Amy, hello, I am the casting director of the Rainbow Lovers program group, Jin, we have met before, you should have an impression. You concealed the real situation of your body to sign up for the program Your behavior may have a very bad impact on the program group and even Anderson Film and Television, and we have the right to hold you accountable for the losses caused. Please calm down as soon as possible and answer my next question truthfully."
"Do you Admit that there was concealment from the program group?"
Amy was confused, but she didn't lose her mind. After listening to Jin's explanation, she quickly figured out her situation at this time. Whether she refuses to cooperate or tells the truth about this issue, it means that she has admitted that she has indeed fabricated lies to deceive the program group, and she will inevitably bear the main responsibility for the possible losses caused by the program group. It was a heavy blow to her family. Therefore, neither of the above two paths will work, and there is only one last way left, which is to play dumb.
She looked up at Jin, her eyes flushed with tears were filled with ignorance, innocence and despair, and she defended herself incoherently: "I have never hidden anything, I swear to God, I can stand for me Take responsibility for every word you say. I really don't know what happened, how could I, I never..."
The more she spoke, the more emotional she became, and she suddenly seemed to be out of breath, clutching her chest Taking a breath, there was a sharp and cracked whistle in his throat, and he was still struggling to say: "I'm sorry, my... now... my mind is... confused, can I... be alone... for a while?"
Jin was startled, and quickly handed her the breathing mask on the other side. Seeing that she buttoned the mask, her pale complexion softened, and she was relieved. Seeing Amy explaining herself with pain and excitement, Jin subconsciously believed her "no knowledge" and softened his tone: "Don't get excited, think about it carefully, a month What happened before?"
Amy frowned and thought seriously, but before she could think of anything, her breathing became rapid, her head was tilted back as much as possible, and her whole body was in a state of hypoxia. Jin hurriedly helped her to sit up, and made a gesture to ring the call bell, but was stopped by Amy. Seeing that her dyspnea symptoms had indeed been relieved, Jin didn't insist anymore. But looking at today's posture, it is obvious that there is nothing useful to be asked from Amy, so he comforted him: "Don't worry, think slowly, and tell me what comes to mind. Our purpose is to find out the truth and solve the problem. Question, if you really don't know and you have been wronged, we will help you find justice. You rest well, and I will come to you later."
Amy nodded feebly, watching Jin leave the ward. She put her hand on her abdomen lightly, because the month was too small, it was still flat, and there was no way to see that there was a little life being conceived in it.
But this is destined to be an unpopular, unwanted child. There was a cold light in her eyes, and her fingers tightly pinched the clothes, gradually clenched into fists.
Lindsay suddenly pushed the door open and came in, expressionless: "It's time for lunch, do you want to eat anything?"
Amy let go, looked at Lindsay with tears in her eyes, and said with trembling lips: "Lindsay, Will you look down on me...I didn't do anything, I don't know what happened...Can you believe me?"
Lindsay stared at her pale face for a long while, without answering, just said: "You Have a good rest and don't think too much. I need to go back to finish the task in the afternoon, so I can't accompany you here. The program team hired professional nurses for you, and they will take good care of you." She didn't ask her what she wanted for lunch , turned and walked out.
Amy narrowed her eyes and looked calm. Said it was a nurse, but it should have come to monitor her, right? Hey, I just wanted to be famous, but I drove myself to a dead end, really unlucky.
Of course she was lying when she said she was "completely innocent", but in another way, she was indeed a victim of this incident.
She did not know about the pregnancy at the beginning, and it was only this morning that she began to suspect, but there is no definite answer yet. So it's not really cheating. In addition, most of the analysis about herself that she said in the casting survey interview is true. The only lie is that she and her ex-girlfriend have not only held hands, but also had sex. As long as she does not admit it, Unless her ex-girlfriend comes out in person, no one has evidence to refute her.
It was well planned, but she never expected that her ex-girlfriend Sophie would cheat her!
A month ago, my first love girlfriend who had disappeared for more than ten years suddenly contacted her again, saying that I miss the good times of the two in high school very much. I have not had a girlfriend in the ten years since I left her, because I miss her all the time. Amy had always had nostalgia for Sophie, so she was naturally moved when she heard this. When Sophie asked to meet, she agreed without hesitation.
In the hotel, the two rolled together as soon as they met. After the fierce entanglement, Amy felt that her soul fell into joy. She was confused and didn't know what she was coaxed to eat by the other party. Relaxed, as if flying in the air, and as if swimming in the water. When she regained her senses, she found that she was completely naked in the arms of a man, while Sophie was lying behind the man in her underwear, with her arms across the man and around her waist. In this situation, no matter how ignorant she was, she understood what was going on.
Silently, she got out of the man's arms, crawled to Sophie's side and slapped him hard. Sophie woke up, knowing she was wrong, and didn't fight back. Amy continued to hit her. But the man held Amy under him and warned her not to mess around, or he would send the video taken yesterday to her parents. Amy stopped beating or struggling, and just shed tears silently.
Sophie apologized to Amy in tears, saying that she was forced, she owed money to the man, and if she didn't listen to the man, she would kill her whole family, she really had no choice.
Amy wanted to kill the two people in front of her, but she knew that she was weak, and she could only ask for trouble if she was head-to-head, so she endured it, thinking about going for a sexual assault appraisal after leaving here.
The man seemed to see what she was thinking, and pointed to the small bag on the ground with a sneer, threatening her not to challenge his patience, otherwise he would have plenty of ways to make her life worse than death. Amy was trembling with fright, but she was a little relieved when she was helpless.
The man left 5,000 yuan as a hush money, and then took Sophie away. Before Sophie left, she quietly left two pills, saying they were contraceptives bought on the black market, just in case. She hesitated for a moment, but finally drank it.
But unexpectedly, Sophie cheated her again in the end, it might not be the contraceptive pill at all!
Thinking of the scene that day, Amy felt more and more sick. She couldn't help retching, got up from the bed and rushed into the bathroom.
She squatted next to the toilet, vomiting until tears flowed out, the stomach cramps and the diaphragm in her heart tormented her constantly, finally she couldn't take it anymore, raised her fist and beat her stomach hard. Amid the pain, she actually felt a bit of distorted pleasure
...
When Jin returned to her work room, the more she thought about it, the more she felt that there was something wrong with Amy's attitude. She took out the complete interview video recorded at the beginning, and watched it frame by frame, over and over again, not letting go of any suspicious details. Finally, when she saw it for the third time, she finally found out the incongruity—when Amy said that she loved her first girlfriend very much, the corner of her mouth curled down very slightly, and the inside of her left eye The corners of the eyes also became sharper. Taking a separate screenshot, this is clearly an expression of contempt, disgust, or even hatred.
Maybe, Amy's ex-girlfriend would know something. Jin opened Amy's high school classmate book, and asked one by one according to the contact information above.
The author has something to say: Happy holidays, kids!
