Li Xu didn't answer directly. He just said, "Boy or girl, it'll be your precious baby. Take good care during the pregnancy. Be careful for the first three months, and don't overexert yourself."
Although he didn't say it out loud, Li Xu had a pretty good idea.
Determining a baby's sex through TCM pulse diagnosis isn't complete pseudoscience; it has its own unique theoretical basis.
The *Pulse Classic* recorded long ago: "A rapid left pulse indicates a male, a rapid right pulse indicates a female."
It also states: "A slow pulse that is stronger on the left indicates a male, while one stronger on the right indicates a female."
Just now, when Li Xu was taking her pulse, he had clearly felt that the pulse in Sister Zhang's left wrist was stronger and slightly faster than her right.
According to the ancient methods, it was most likely a boy.
'But this is just an empirical guess, after all. It's not one hundred percent accurate.'
