Chapter 384 I Worked So Hard

He sat up and looked at Qin Qingyao seriously, "Qingqing, you really don't realize that there is something wrong with you?"

Qin Qingyao frowned, "What do you mean? What's wrong with me?"

Dugu Yu pursed his lips. He didn't know if it was an illusion, but Qin Qingyao always felt that he was a little excited that he couldn't hold back. The corners of his mouth were about to bend, and he was trying to hold it back so hard that it was twitching.

"You haven't had your period for two months and five days."

Qin Qingyao's first reaction was, "How could you remember it so clearly when there's no calendar in this deep forest?", and his second reaction was, "Am I sick?"

Dugu Yu frowned helplessly when he saw Qin Qingyao's wooden reaction, "Qingqing, you..."

Qin Qingyao, "Maybe it's just inaccurate. That's normal. I used to have inaccuracies often, so it wasn't a big deal."

Dugu Yu was absolutely certain, "No."

You were definitely not abnormal before, I remember that!

Qin Qingyao, "..."

She was indeed not allowed to do so before, but that was in her previous life, because she was ignorant and greedy for ice cream when she was a child. But here she is a rich lady, with a group of maids and nannies serving her, and she has rarely even touched cold water.

So of course her body is as healthy as it can be.

Qin Qingyao, who was lying on the bed, suddenly sat up with a somersault, startling Dugu Yu. "Slow down."

Qin Qingyao looked at Dugu Yu, his expression showing a hint of fear and a lot of helplessness. "No way? It's not what I thought, right?"

Dugu Yu nodded, "I think it might be."

"That's not right. How could it be so weird?"

Weird? Dugu Yu's face darkened instantly. What did the little girl mean by that? What did she mean by weird?

Dugu Yu felt that if he let her continue talking nonsense like this, he might get angry to death, so he said directly, "Qingqing, I think you might be pregnant."

"Why? I mean, how could I possibly be pregnant?"

"How can it be impossible? I tried so hard!"

Qin Qingyao, "..."

Dugu Yu saw Qin Qingyao staring at her stomach with her head down, and she felt a little bitter in her heart. When he thought of this possibility, he was so happy.

Why did Qingqing seem so distressed? Didn't she want to have a child with him? How could this be possible?

Qin Qingyao was really wronged. It wasn't that she didn't want to have a baby, she was just too nervous, so nervous that she was dazed.

She felt that pregnancy was such a serious matter that there should be some kind of solemn ceremony. At the very least, one should fast, chant Buddhist scriptures, burn incense and pray to show sincerity?

How could you get pregnant just by doing something so casually? Is God so kind to you?

Qin Qingyao was so stunned by the huge pie that fell from the sky that all the physiological knowledge she had learned in school was thrown away. Then she felt a little uneasy. What if Dugu Yu had misunderstood her?

If I don't get pregnant, wouldn't it be a waste of joy? I'll be so sad then...

Dugu Yu sighed. He couldn't bear to see Qin Qingyao struggling alone, so he embraced her and lay down again. "Okay, don't worry. Let's go to the town to see the doctor tomorrow and we'll know."

Qin Qingyao stretched out her hand in front of Dugu Yu, "How about you show it to me?"

"I don't understand the pulse of happiness."

In fact, he had wanted to try it several times, but he didn't know much about the pulse of pregnancy, and when he touched Qin Qingyao's pulse, his hands trembled with excitement, so he couldn't feel anything.

He kissed Qin Qingyao's cheek, and all his romantic thoughts disappeared. "Let's sleep first. It doesn't matter whether you're pregnant or not. We..."

Before Dugu Yu could even utter the words "there's a long way to go," Qin Qingyao exploded. "What do you mean it doesn't matter whether she's pregnant or not? What's your attitude? Don't you care about my child at all?"

Dugu Yu was stunned by Qin Qingyao. God knows, he was so happy when he felt that she might be pregnant. How could he not care?

If I don't care, would he be able to be a monk with a beautiful woman in his arms every night?

"That's really not what I meant. I really want a child, our own, but please don't feel pressured, okay? If we don't have one, it's just not meant to be. We're not in a rush."

"Do you really think so?"

"Well, really, one shouldn't be too greedy. My life now is already as happy as a god. I don't dare to expect too much from God, but if I can really be that lucky, I don't mind being happier."

"Pfft..." Qin Qingyao didn't know why she had become so irritable and moody. She was panicking and angry just now, but now she felt so sweet that she couldn't help laughing.

Looking at Dugu Yu's gentle and doting eyes, Qin Qingyao was happy and disgusted with her own unreasonable behavior. "Are you so easily satisfied?"

"It's not that I'm easily satisfied, it's just that I've already got the best wife in the world, what more could I ask for!"

Qin Qingyao rolled her eyes and laughed, "So corny!"

"Where is the numbness? Let me rub it for you~"

"Go away... go to sleep, go to sleep, don't make any noise!"

"Okay, go to sleep." Dugu Yu said this seriously as if to make a promise, then hugged Qin Qingyao and did not move.

…

When Qin Qingyao woke up the next morning, Dugu Yu had already prepared breakfast and packed his luggage and placed it on the horse.

"Are we leaving now?"

Dugu Yu rubbed Qin Qingyao's head. "The weather is getting hotter. There will be only dense forests and weeds on the mountain. There will be few beautiful views. On the contrary, there will be more and more snakes, insects, rats, ants and wild animals. It is really unsafe to continue living here."

Qin Qingyao nodded. She lived in the mountains for the beautiful scenery. Now she had almost seen enough of the scenery on the mountain. It was indeed time to move.

"If you like the mountains, let's go find a famous mountain with mountains and rivers and stay there next spring. There will be many flowers and scenery to see in the spring. We came too late this year and missed many sights."

Qin Qingyao nodded with satisfaction, "Okay."

Seeing his wife so cooperative, Dugu Yu secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He was really afraid that Qin Qingyao would be reluctant to leave.

She is now suspected of being pregnant, and Dugu Yu can't wait to find a reliable doctor to check it out. If it is true, he will never dare to let her run around in the mountains again.

To take care of pregnant women and children, he definitely has to go to a big city. The more prosperous, the more abundant the resources, and the more favorable the conditions, the better. He can't bear to let his wife and children suffer.

He has never been a father in his life and has no experience in taking care of pregnant women.

I've heard that pregnancy is incredibly difficult, and some children are known for their tormenting behavior even in the womb. How can pregnant women supplement their nutrition? What are some pregnancy taboos to be aware of? What should I do if I'm feeling tormented by my child?

He must find an experienced midwife. When Qingqing is in confinement and her mother is not around, he must also find an experienced old nanny to take care of her, so that Qingqing will not develop any chronic illness and he will regret it for the rest of his life.

Qin Qingyao was leisurely eating breakfast, completely unaware that the person sitting opposite her, with a serious expression, had already started arranging her confinement period.

If she knew, she would not be so relaxed but would be extremely stressed. What if this was a mistake? What if she was not pregnant?

After dinner, they left the place where they had lived for nearly two months, taking only simple gifts with them. They didn't need anything else as they could buy new ones when they arrived in town.

The mountain road was bumpy and difficult to travel on, and riding a horse was not as safe as walking, so Dugu Yu threw all the gifts on the horse's back and carried Qin Qingyao down the mountain on his back.

Qin Qingyao was speechless about this. "I'm not made of tofu. I don't even know if I'm pregnant or not. Aren't you being overprotective?"

Dugu Yu was very calm. "This has nothing to do with whether you are pregnant or not. No one comes to this mountain. There is not even a road. It is really difficult to go down the mountain. I can walk faster by carrying you on my back."

Qin Qingyao lay on Dugu Yu's back, smiling unconsciously, feeling warm in her heart.

At noon, the two finally arrived at the nearest town.

"Are you tired? Why don't you go to your room and take a nap after dinner? We can go see the doctor this afternoon."

"I'm fine. If you're tired, you should be the one. It's a knife if you stick your head out. It's a knife if you hide your head. What's going on? I'll be relieved if I know."

Dugu Yu was really speechless. It was just a matter of seeing the doctor taking his pulse. Why did this girl say it was so tragic?

Only at this moment did Dugu Yu deeply realize that his urgent desire to have a child seemed to have really put a lot of pressure on Qin Qingyao.

But he always knew that the problem was with him, not her. She did this probably because she didn't want to disappoint him.

Dugu Yu couldn't help but hug Qin Qingyao and kissed her on the forehead. Qin Qingyao pushed Dugu Yu away as if she had been electrocuted, her face flushed, "What are you doing, in public!"

Dugu Yu sat upright and said, "Okay, my lady, I know I was wrong."

He looked so serious, as if he was afraid that others would not know that he had just kissed his wife.

Amidst the well-intentioned smiles of the other guests in the inn lobby, Qin Qingyao blushed like a shrimp. Some people were truly becoming more and more unruly!

Dugu Yu didn't mind being laughed at at all. Instead, he greeted people happily and asked where the most famous doctor in town was.

After eating, he thanked the guide again, then Dugu Yu took Qin Qingyao by the hand and went out. "The waiter said that Doctor Zhao is the most famous, but he's over sixty and it's inevitable that he has some blurred vision. I don't know if he's reliable."

"Let's go check it out first. If that doesn't work, we can try Doctor Lin from the next street. The uncle just now said that the Lin family had an imperial physician in their ancestry, so he should have some real skills."

Qin Qingyao listened quietly. Not long ago, she always clung to Dugu Yu and refused to let go. Now, it was Dugu Yu who held her hand and walked leisurely among the crowd.

Dugu Yu's journey really gave Qin Qingyao a new understanding of the word "thoughtful".

Just for seeing the doctor taking his pulse, he prepared three plans. He was worried that the experienced doctor was too old and confused to see clearly, and he was worried that the younger doctor was inexperienced and made a mistake. If she really got pregnant, he didn't know what to do in the future!
