Chapter 92 But I'm so tired...
After arriving at the hotel.
Qiao Xingjia swiped her room card to open the door, and Shen Qingshu frowned, covered her mouth, and hurriedly rushed into the bathroom.
The sound of Shen Qingshu vomiting came from the bathroom.
"Ah Shu—" Qiao Xingjia hurriedly chased after her.
Fu Siyan and Qin Yancheng stood outside the door, listening to the painful vomiting sounds inside, both with solemn expressions.
The vomiting stopped after a while.
Qiao Xingjia helped the pale-faced Shen Qingshu out of the bathroom.
The room had two beds, and Qiao Xingjia helped Shen Qingshu to one of them.
Shen Qingshu felt extremely uncomfortable, and after lying down, she closed her eyes and fell into a deep sleep.
Qiao Xingjia touched her forehead.
I have a slight fever.
She covered Shen Qingshu with a blanket, got up and walked to the door, looking at Qin Yancheng and saying, "Leave your first-aid kit for me."
Qin Yancheng handed her the first-aid kit. "Is she alright?"
Qiao Xingjia glanced at Fu Siyan and said coldly, "Thanks to someone, you vomited non-stop in the air and landed with a low-grade fever. How about that?"
Qin Yancheng: "..."
Qiao Xingjia snatched the first-aid kit from Qin Yancheng's hand and slammed the door shut.
Outside the door, Qin Yancheng touched his nose and shook his head. "Sigh, the mess you made... what a disaster!"
Fu Siyan pursed his thin lips, his expression cold and stern.
A moment later, he turned and walked straight toward the elevator.
Qin Yancheng called out to his retreating figure, "Hey, where are you going?"
...
Inside the room, Qiao Xingjia took Shen Qingshu's temperature.
Thirty-seven degrees seven.
Fortunately, the temperature wasn't too high.
I opened the medicine cabinet and searched around, but couldn't find any medications that pregnant women could use.
In the end, the only thing we could do was temporarily wipe her down with alcohol to cool her down physically.
Shen Qingshu was extremely uncomfortable, and even in her drowsy state, her brows remained tightly furrowed.
Qiao Xingjia felt extremely distressed, and in her heart she cursed Fu Siyan fiercely again!
Shen Qingshu had an extremely uncomfortable sleep. Her body was sometimes cold and sometimes hot. She could vaguely feel someone wiping her body. She wanted to open her eyes, but her eyelids felt as heavy as a thousand pounds and she couldn't open them no matter what she did.
The dream was blurry and swaying, and she vaguely heard that familiar voice calling her name.
'Ah Shu, Ah Shu…'
She followed the direction from which the sound came, only to find herself walking into an unknown tunnel.
The tunnel was winding and long, and she walked for a long time, so long that a sense of despair welled up in her heart.
Shouts came from behind—
"Ah Shu, don't go over there, come back, come back quickly..."
Chen Qingshu paused, turned around and looked.
The road leading from the tunnel turned out to be a tree-lined path.
When she was a child, her grandfather took her to learn to ride a bicycle on that tree-lined path.
She was afraid of falling and could never learn to ride, but her grandfather never scolded her. He would always reach out to catch her when she was about to fall and patiently guide her.
Grandpa always said, "Everything is difficult at the beginning. The most difficult thing is not the talent to learn it quickly, but the determination to persevere through difficulties."
She studied for several months and finally learned to ride a bicycle.
'Ah Shu, Ah Shu…'
A voice called her from behind; it was her mother.
Shen Qingshu turned around and found that the tunnel, which had just been winding and long, had turned into a boundless river.
White mist drifted in the distance over the river, and the mother's figure gradually appeared.
She waved to her, shook her head, and said, "Ah Shu, this is not a place for you. Go back now."
Shen Qingshu shook her head, tears falling. "Mom, I'm so tired. Can I go with you?"
"Silly Shu, you're a mother now, how can you say such foolish things? Your child needs you, Shu, protect your child, and your child will protect you too..."
child?
Shen Qingshu lowered her head in a daze, only to find that her belly was already bulging high!
She was shocked.
In an instant, the surrounding scenery distorted and turned blood red!
She looked down again, and her belly was gone; beneath her, blood was already flowing like a river.
"ah--"
Shen Qingshu cried out in surprise and suddenly opened her eyes!
"Ah Shu!"
Qiao Xingjia rushed over and saw that she was covered in sweat and tears, so she knew that she had a nightmare.
Shen Qingshu's breathing was a little rapid, and her wet hands gripped the blanket tightly.
“Stars,” she stared at the crystal chandelier on the ceiling, her eyes vacant, her voice hoarse and almost inaudible, “I dreamt of Grandpa and Mom…”
Qiao Xingjia's heart tightened, and she wrung out a warm towel to wipe the sweat and tears from her face.
"When people are sick, they are more likely to dream about the people they care about most."
Qiao Xingjia added, “You had a low-grade fever during the day, so I used alcohol to lower your temperature. Fu Siyan brought some medicine from a local pharmacy, but I kept it because I was afraid he would become suspicious. Later, Dr. Qin also said he wanted to come and take a look at you, but I refused.”
Shen Qingshu blinked, seemingly oblivious to Qiao Xingjia's words, and continued recounting her dream.
"In my dream, I was lost. There was a very long tunnel. My grandfather was calling to me from behind, and my mother was blocking my way from the front..."
Qiao Xingjia gently pried open her hands, which were tightly gripping the blanket, and wrapped her cold hands with a warm towel.
“My mom told me to come back. She said I’m going to be a mother soon and I can’t go there anymore…”
Qiao Xingjia lowered her head, pursed her lips tightly, and her eyes gradually reddened.
Shen Qingshu's hoarse voice gradually choked with sobs. She closed her eyes, and her last words were uttered almost in a breathy whisper: "But, I'm so tired..."
Her eyes slowly closed, and hot tears slid down her cheeks.
Shen Qingshu fell into a deep sleep again.
It was completely dark outside.
It was 7:30 p.m. in Ghana.
Qiao Xingjia confirmed that her temperature was normal and sighed helplessly.
The physical and mental torment she has endured along the way, coupled with her increased emotional sensitivity due to pregnancy, makes it impossible for her not to collapse.
Knock knock—
There was a knock on the door.
Qiao Xingjia got up, looked through the peephole, and then opened the door.
Outside the door, Qin Yancheng handed the lunchbox to Qiao Xingjia, "Dinner."
Qiao Xingjia reached out and took it, glanced around, and asked, "Where is Fu Siyan?"
"I don't know." Qin Yancheng shrugged. "I didn't see him at dinner time, so I went downstairs to eat by myself and packed some for you."
After a pause, Qin Yancheng asked again, "How is she?"
"I just woke up from a dream and fell asleep again." Qiao Xingjia was also about to lose it. She looked at Qin Yancheng with a serious frown. "Dr. Qin, I beg you, you must make sure that Fu Siyan breaks up with Ashu completely after he goes back. Ashu has suffered too much. Her heart is already too heavy and can no longer bear this ironic marriage."
Qin Yancheng nodded solemnly, "I will."
…
That night, Shen Qingshu did not burn the fire again.
Qiao Xingjia stayed by her side until late at night. Once her condition had completely stabilized, she yawned and took a short nap.
In the early morning, sunlight streamed through the window curtains, illuminating the entire room.
Ghana is a typical tropical country, and during this season, the average daytime temperature in the capital, Accra, is around 26 degrees Celsius.
Accra is the largest port city, and the hotel faces the sea, with the sounds of waves and seagulls coming in through the windows that are not completely closed.
Shen Qingshu slowly opened her eyes.
The symptoms from yesterday had subsided, and she turned her head to see Qiao Xingjia sleeping on another bed.
A moment later, she propped herself up on the bed and sat up.
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
Just as Shen Qingshu was about to lift the covers, Qiao Xingjia suddenly woke up with a start.
Seeing that she was awake and about to get out of bed, he quickly said, "Don't move, I'll go open the door!"
As she spoke, she jumped off the bed, put on her slippers, and rushed over to open the door.
Outside the door, Fu Siyan and Qin Yancheng stood side by side.
"Is she feeling any better?" Fu Siyan asked.
Qiao Xingjia turned to look at Shen Qingshu.
Shen Qingshu heard Fu Siyan's words and nodded to Qiao Xingjia.
Qiao Xingjia turned to look at Fu Siyan, "She just woke up, and she seems to be feeling much better. What do you want her to do?"
"Tell her to get ready and come downstairs. I'll wait for her downstairs," Fu Siyan said in a low voice.
Qiao Xingjia pressed, "Where are you going? What are you doing?"
Fu Siyan simply said, "You'll know when you get there."
