Jiang Si blinked. "No way, could it really have hit the target on the first try?"
Thinking about it, it's not impossible, after all, she has been nourishing her body with the spiritual spring for the past few months.
And that night they really did...actually act a bit shamelessly.
However, Jiang Si is not someone who likes internal strife.
It's only been delayed by one day, so it's still unknown whether she's pregnant or not.
Even though she was pregnant, she didn't think it was a big deal.
She hasn't officially started working for any organization yet; all she needs to do is finish the mural and facial features project.
After that, she will have plenty of time to focus on her pregnancy.
Not to mention the economic aspect.
There's a saying that goes, "If you don't have financial pressure, raising children is actually a very interesting thing."
As for whether she received care during her pregnancy, that's not something Jiang Si should worry about.
Because a long time ago, Huo's mother said that she would take leave to go to Qiongzhou Island to take care of her when she got pregnant.
Mother Huo treated all her daughters-in-law equally.
In addition to receiving ample subsidies, each daughter-in-law was given a full two-month postpartum confinement period.
During this period, Huo's mother personally took care of all the child's eating, drinking, toileting, and sleeping needs.
My second sister-in-law told me that during her entire postpartum period, she did nothing but eat and sleep.
After her postpartum period, she gained several pounds.
In addition, her third uncle and Zhongshu have made it clear that she can just give birth to the child, and they will help take care of it. No one is allowed to take it away from her.
Not to mention, there's also Huo Tingzhou, the perfect husband.
He was the one who took care of me when I was a child, so he really knows a lot about childcare.
With that in mind, Jiang Si didn't dwell on it too much.
Huo Tingzhou, on the other hand, kept the doctor's instructions in mind. Seeing that she had been in the bathroom for a long time without coming out, he couldn't help but worry.
"Sisi, how are you?"
Jiang Si didn't intend to hide it from him, and told him the situation as soon as she came out.
Huo Tingzhou was a little stunned by the news. After he came to his senses, he immediately carried Jiang Si to the bed.
His large hand was pressed tightly against her lower abdomen.
Her voice trembled slightly, "Are you... feeling unwell anywhere?"
As he spoke, he suddenly remembered the scene of him clinging to her last night, wondering if he had hurt the child.
"Honey, shall I take you to the hospital for a check-up?"
Jiang Si immediately shook her head. Who goes to the hospital just because their period is a day late?
"Don't be nervous. I don't feel unwell anywhere. Also, a delayed period doesn't necessarily mean you're pregnant."
"But your periods have always been very regular."
Huo Tingzhou knew very well what he had done that night, and the doctor had also said that even during the safe period, it wasn't necessarily 100% safe.
Then I thought about my wife's health.
Huo Tingzhou felt that she was most likely pregnant.
Jiang Si shook her head, "That's not necessarily true. Staying up late, lack of sleep, suddenly increasing exercise, and over-supplementing the diet can all cause menstruation to come early or late."
Jiang Si spoke more softly after that, "We've been doing 'that' a bit too frequently these past few days, so it's normal to postpone it for a day or two."
With each word she spoke, Huo Tingzhou's face grew more embarrassed.
Of course, it takes two to tango, and Jiang Si admitted that she herself couldn't resist his temptation.
However, she quickly regained her confidence.
She's only dated this one man in her two lifetimes, so it's not unreasonable for her to enjoy him a few more times, right?
Knowing that Huo Tingzhou hadn't given up on the idea, Jiang Si asked him to go to the hospital to inquire.
He then went to his study.
She'll be officially joining the production team the day after tomorrow, so she needs to make the most of her time to familiarize herself with the figures she'll be painting on the mural.
For Jiang Si, facial features and eyes are not difficult to grasp.
The difficulty lies in the fact that all the figures in this mural are dressed in their own ethnic costumes.
The amount of work involved in creating these exquisite costumes and headdresses is considerable.
While familiarizing herself with the portrait, Jiang Si also worked on the overall design of the mural.
Generally, large-scale murals like these are enlarged using a nine-grid method.
However, this mural is six meters high, so nine sections are not enough.
Jiang Si calculated that it should be divided into at least forty-eight sections.
After that, you have to pick out the corresponding figures in these forty-eight squares and draw a portrait of each figure in proportion.
The amount of preparation work alone is staggering.
Not to mention that later when painting, one had to stand on a scaffold more than five meters high to paint.
No wonder Chairman Zhou has been searching for so long without finding a suitable artist.
Just as Jiang Si was diligently preparing for her next task, Huo Tingzhou also went to the military hospital.
The doctor recognized him immediately; wasn't this the young man who had been bragging the other day?
"Come, have a seat. What brings you here today?"
Just like last time, Huo Tingzhou sat down and explained the situation in detail.
Just as Jiang Si had expected, the doctor couldn't give him a definite answer after listening to his story.
Because at that time, all hospitals used the 'bioassay' technique for urine tests, which could generally only detect pregnancy after five weeks.
Their military hospital did have ultrasound machines, but these machines only displayed two-dimensional grayscale images.
Given Jiang Si's current situation, there's no other way but to wait.
Seeing that Huo Tingzhou's face remained tense throughout, the doctor smiled and said, "Your wife is right. Her condition may not necessarily be pregnancy."
