Father Chen agreed: "Yes, yes, eat more."

Miao Yijiajia was absent-minded and could not hear what the two people were saying. She had no idea how the food she put in her mouth tasted.

After finally getting to the end of the meal, Miao Yijia asked to go home. Miao Cuixia was worried about her being alone: "There's an empty room here, you can stay here. I'll accompany you to the hospital tomorrow."

Miao Yijiajia found a bunch of reasons to refuse her request.

Miao Cuixia sent her out of the community and watched her get into a taxi before turning back.

After the taxi had driven a short distance, Miao Yijia spotted an open pharmacy on the side of the road and hurriedly asked the driver to stop. She went inside, bought a few pregnancy tests, stuffed them into her bag, returned to the car, and made her way home safely.

After locking the door, she dragged her bag into the bathroom, praying desperately in her heart that Miao Cuixia had made a mistake and that she was not pregnant.

Miao Yijia didn't even notice that her fingers were shaking as she unpacked the box. She first checked the instructions, but because she couldn't concentrate, she read the same few lines several times. She read each word one by one, but nothing clicked in her mind.

She followed the steps in the picture and sat on the toilet waiting, her hands clasped together and her eyes fixed on the area showing the red line.

After a while, two clear red lines emerged.

Miao Yijiajia picked up the pregnancy test stick on the ground and looked at it closely. The two red lines would only become clearer and would not disappear.

“Pah.”

As her hand loosened, the pregnancy test stick fell to the ground, and along with it, Miao Yijiajia's tears fell.

She knew better than anyone that nothing had happened between her and Chen Songbai.

Miao Yijiajia took a quick shower and returned to her room in a daze. She tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep. A feeling of panic swept over her, and she unconsciously curled up and hugged herself.

It was almost dawn and Miao Yijiajia was about to fall asleep when she was awakened by the sharp ringing of her cell phone. She was startled and opened her eyes. She felt exhausted all over and slowly sat up from the bed.

She took the phone from the bedside table. It was Miao Cuixia calling. Miao Yijia covered her forehead, feeling helpless.

Miao Yijia brushed back the messy hair that had gotten stuck to her face and answered the phone. Miao Cuixia's voice came over immediately: "Jiajia, are you awake? I don't know where you live. Just tell me and I'll come find you and take you to the hospital. We have to go early. I heard it's hard to get an appointment at a hospital in a big city."
