“Then you’ll have to hurry up and get married and get a birth license in a few months.” The doctor said as he wrote.
“Yes, there will be a marriage soon. However, these are all afterthoughts, let’s look at her body first!” Xia Feiqing glanced at her and added, “She’s in pain!”
“Lie down on it and let me see.” The doctor pulled aside a curtain and compared it to the single bed.
Zhao Lanlan was just about to move when Xia Feiqing had already carried her over silently. He just stood there without moving, the doctor glanced at him and he didn’t go out. Zhao Lanlan only felt ashamed and embarrassed, “Xia Feiqing, go out. Men are forbidden to enter here.”
That’s when he came to his senses. No wonder that doctor looked at him so strangely!
Who told him that it was his first time in such a place and he had no experience at all.
But he’s seen his own wife everywhere, so what’s there not to see when it’s just a checkup?
“Call me immediately if anything happens!” He coolly dismissed, but worry, nonetheless, showed on that uncomfortable face.
Finally, with another look at her, and the doctor urging, “Please.” Only then did he go out in peace.
It took only 10 minutes to do the checkup, but he was sitting outside as if he was suffering from capital punishment.
Unspeakable excitement churned in his heart. He couldn’t believe that she was actually having a baby of her own! Moreover, it had been more than two months!
However, this excitement only surged up, and then was instantly crushed by annoyance and worry. On one hand, he was annoyed that she had hidden it for such a long time, and on the other hand, he was angry at himself for being such an asshole and actually wanting her last night! She was a pregnant woman who hadn’t even completed three months yet!
He hated that he couldn’t slap himself hard enough! If something happened to the baby because of his passionate demands last night, he figured he could just take a knife to his neck and die!
“Doctor, what’s going on?” He walked back and forth, more and more anxiety on his face.
“Don’t argue!” The doctor snapped back in a no-nonsense manner.
“How the hell is she? Is there anything wrong?” Xia Feiqing was worried about her and worried about the child. The double layer of worry tortured him to the point of going crazy!
The curtain was pulled open, and the doctor came out with a cold face, and without saying anything, he began to lecture, “If you’re so worried, why are you still in the same room? Can’t you stand it for three months? If you continue to act so recklessly, the baby is still in danger!”
He was lectured to the ground. Behind the doctor, Zhao Lanlan was so embarrassed that she didn’t even dare to raise her head, only asking, “Doctor, how is my baby?”
“It’s a precursor to a miscarriage. Prescribe some medication, get the shots, and hold out for half a month.” The doctor sat down, writing the medical record book, and raised his eyes to sweep them again. The line of sight finally landed on Xia Feiqing, “Your girlfriend is malnourished and has a poor physique, she needs to make up for it. Also, don’t even think about things like coitus for the time being, for the sake of the child, always be a little more self-disciplined – it’s not like they’re all little kids anymore.”
Zhao Lanlan sat there, her whole head almost buried into the ground. She originally wanted to clear the air with him and say that they weren’t boyfriend and girlfriend at all, but isn’t it ridiculous to explain this now?
“I know.” Xia Feiqing was admonished, but this time, he accepted it with incomparable sincerity and promised, “I’ll pay attention.”
“Take some tranquilizer medicine first. It’s best not to move around for this recent period of time, and lie down well at home. Wait until the fetus has stabilized a bit.” The doctor said.
“But I still have to go to work …” Zhao Lanlan tried to fight for her rights. Yuan Yuan hadn’t found a job until now, and if even she stopped going to work, the two would really starve to death.
“And work? Do you want to have a baby, or do you want to work?” The doctor looked at her from under the thick bottle-bottomed lens, “With your body, how are you going to survive if you don’t put on some weight and go cramming on public transportation all day, commuting to and from work exhausted.”
“Listen to the doctor.” She still wanted to say something, but Xia Feiqing directly snatched the words. Dropping his eyes, he clearly saw that her face was worried, he grunted, “What are you blindly worried about? Still afraid I’ll let you sleep on the highway?”
She didn’t say anything, and even though there was a lot of dissatisfaction in her heart, the child was now in charge.
And then, buying the bill and taking the medicine, running up and down the stairs, it was all wrapped up by Xia Feiqing alone. Zhao Lanlan sat in the injection room and waited quietly. When he came back again, he was already a bit out of breath.
He wasn’t a patient person, and after waiting in line so many times at the hospital, it was a challenge for him. However, his demeanor was not gloomy at all because of this, on the contrary, he looked like he was willing to go through it. Talking to the nurse who was giving the injection on the side, he was all very gentle and even smiled vaguely.
But …
Once he was on her, he didn’t look so good, obviously still angry with her. And she just sat there, not messing with him, waiting for him to rise to the occasion first. Anyway, there was always no escape.
The nurse was making preparations to give her an injection. As she took the skin tube and locked it around her veins, Xia Feiqing silently put his hand in front of her.
She looked at him with some confusion and surprise.
“Hold on to me if you’re afraid of pain.” His face was still cold, a look that he wasn’t even happy to talk to her much. Zhao Lanlan froze, and in the end just silently pushed his hand away a little, “It’s okay, I’m not in pain.”
His hand froze there awkwardly, looking at that cold and stubborn little face, he really had the urge to pinch her hard twice.
The nurse laughed from the sidelines, “Don’t worry, it won’t hurt, I’ll be gentle.”
“Trouble.” Zhao Lanlan responded politely, ignoring someone with a dark face on the side.
During the injection, Zhao Lanlan had thought that he would leave first, but he had been right by her side the whole time. This made her a little flustered and uneasy, and she didn’t even dare to think about what happened next.
The two just sat there in silence in the injection room, her pretending to be tired and faking sleep, while he propped his head on one hand and kept staring at her, thinking.
Soon enough, the shots were done.
“Does it still hurt?” The two men, who had been speechless the entire time, opened their mouths after all before leaving.
“… okay.” Actually, there was still some vague pain. But, it was already much better than just now.
Xia Feiqing bent down and picked her up again. She was so shocked that her hands immediately wrapped around his neck. All kinds of eyes around them were looking towards them, she was thin-skinned and slapped her hand behind his back twice, “You put me down, I’m not in pain anymore, I can walk by myself.”
Xia Feiqing, however, refused to do so; in fact, he enjoyed the feeling of holding her like this. And … now she is two people! There was a baby belonging to him in her stomach! This was unbelievable just thinking about it! It was too unbelievable!
But …
The thing that kills me is that this woman really is too skinny like the doctor said! Holding her in my arms was like holding a feather.
“Why have you lost so much weight lately?”
“… Hmmm. Didn’t eat much.”
