"What?" The chairman of the national games became excited and surprised all at once, "Your Excellency, why is this happening? The competition is tomorrow, why the sudden cancellation? Is there an issue? Di Xiaxia is the seeded player for the women’s singles, and the coaches are very optimistic about her. She has a great chance of winning the championship. Why cancel? No, this really won’t do."
Di Mingzhe slightly curled the corners of his lips, "Does the competition allow pregnant women to participate?"
"Pregnant, pregnant woman?" The chairman was instantly struck dumb, "Do you mean, Miss Xiaxia, she is pregnant?"
The chairman gasped sharply.
"This, this, this this this." After stuttering for a long while, the chairman carefully asked, "Is, is it confirmed?"
Di Mingzhe furrowed his brow, now this question really got to him. What if it wasn’t so?
After all, he hadn’t personally confirmed it.
Di Mingzhe didn’t speak, and the chairman possibly guessed something, so he hurriedly said, "Your Excellency, how about this? Let’s discuss this matter again after you confirm it on your side. Canceling might not be possible now, since the list has already been submitted and cannot be canceled. If it really is a pregnancy, and she indeed doesn’t wish to participate, we can only count it as a forfeit on the day of the competition."
"Okay, let it be so. Also, please keep this matter confidential for now as I haven’t confirmed it either. We’ll see tomorrow. If it’s really not suitable, she will forfeit, but don’t worry, we will provide an explanation."
"Yes, yes, yes," the chairman nodded, "I understand, although it’s very regrettable, it’s also a happy event, and I’m sure everyone will understand. Congratulations, Your Excellency."
Di Mingzhe smiled, finding himself perhaps a bit too anxious. So he said, "It’s not completely confirmed yet, but I’ll accept your good wishes for now, thank you. Remember, do not disclose this, or it would be embarrassing."
"Yes, yes, yes, I know, I will definitely not, you can be thoroughly reassured."
"Okay." Di Mingzhe nodded and hung up the phone, yet his heart was somewhat anxious and uneasy, as if the journey which wasn’t far seemed particularly distant at that moment, and he hadn’t arrived yet.
