Meng Sheng's thoughts suddenly drifted away, and after a short while, she suddenly stood up straight, mechanically tilting her head slightly to look at Pei Sui, whose face was full of worry and anxiety.
"What's wrong?" Pei Sui noticed her strange expression and grabbed her arm, puzzled. "Are you feeling unwell?"
"no."
Meng Sheng shook her head, pursed her lips, and gritted her teeth. "I did think of... a possibility."
"Hmm? What's possible?"
Meng Sheng placed her hands on her stomach. "I've been busy with the art exhibition for the past two or three months, so my endocrine system is a bit off, and my periods have been irregular too. But I didn't get my period last month, so do you think it might be... um..."
Pei Sui was also stunned for a moment. When he met her gaze, it was as if his Ren and Du meridians were opened, and he suddenly looked down at her abdomen.
It took him a while to look up, and the trembling in his eyes slowly calmed down. "I'll go to the hospital for a check-up tomorrow."
"good."
Meng Sheng hesitated for a moment before agreeing.
The realization of pregnancy left her somewhat bewildered; she couldn't quite describe her feelings as a mix of complex emotions and joy—it felt strange, like neither was quite right.
"What's wrong?" Pei Sui asked softly.
Meng Sheng shook her head, her hand unconsciously touching her abdomen. "It's just... a little unnatural."
In her dream, she and Shang Boyu had a daughter in their past life.
But for her now, that was just a dream, not really real. Yet, there's a 70% chance she's carrying a little life inside her, a feeling that's rather complicated.
Pei Sui squeezed her hand. "Next month, perhaps."
"What?"
"wedding."
"Huh?" Meng Sheng asked in surprise, "Didn't we say we'd discuss the specific date after the New Year?"
"Yes, next month is also considered after the New Year, January."
"What if it isn't?" Meng Sheng gestured to her abdomen.
“No, it’ll be next month anyway,” Pei Sui said with certainty. “Actually, I don’t want to wait any longer.”
If Cui Xueheng hadn't passed away, the wedding would have already taken place.
After thinking for a moment, he added, "Let's go to the temple in the next few days to choose an auspicious date so we can get our marriage certificate first."
Are you in such a hurry?
"Yes, it's urgent."
Meng Sheng chuckled, "Let's go, Grandma and the others are waiting outside. They were probably startled by the noise I made just now."
Pei Sui responded softly, "Are you feeling better now?"
Meng Sheng nodded and walked out with him.
As expected, people outside were very worried about Meng Sheng's health and kept asking her questions.
Pei Sui didn't mention their earlier guess, since it hadn't been confirmed yet and it wasn't appropriate to say it directly. Instead, he said, "She probably ate too many dumplings. She's been busy lately and hasn't been eating lunch and dinner on time, so her stomach isn't very good. We'll take her to the hospital tomorrow since we have time."
Hearing this, the old lady was genuinely worried. "Oh dear, no matter how busy you are, you still need to eat properly. Your health is the most important thing. How can you be so careless? Stomach problems need to be healed slowly. How are you feeling now? Are you feeling better? Does it hurt? Should we have the family doctor come over to take a look and prescribe some medicine?"
Meng Sheng held the old lady's hand, smiled and shook her head, "Grandma, don't worry, I'm much better now, I'm fine. I'll just go to the hospital tomorrow, no need to go through all that trouble."
"That's good, that's good."
Nie Fang also breathed a sigh of relief, "When we saw you run to the bathroom just now, your grandma and I were so scared. If we weren't afraid that you would be embarrassed if we went over there, we couldn't help but go and see."
Meng Sheng smiled and said, "Thank you, Auntie. It's my fault for making you worry."
Everyone sat with the old lady until 8:30 before returning to their respective courtyards.
When sleeping, Pei Sui was always very careful, afraid of pressing on Meng Sheng's abdomen.
Meng Sheng found it amusing, "If you're like this now, what if you have a check-up tomorrow and they say you're not pregnant?"
"Not pregnant..." Pei Sui drawled, whispering in her ear, "Then I'll try harder so as not to disappoint you."
Meng Sheng punched his chest in annoyance, "What do you mean I'm disappointed? You're the one who's disappointed."
Pei Sui put his arm around her waist and kissed her cheek. "Yes, I am. I'm very curious and looking forward to what our child will be like."
"So, do you prefer a boy or a girl?"
"It will be all right."
"You say that so casually."
"It wasn't done casually; it was made with 100% sincerity."
"You're getting better and better at talking."
Pei Sui chuckled softly and touched her earlobe. "Go to sleep."
Meng Sheng closed her eyes. "Um, can I have breakfast tomorrow morning?"
"I checked on my phone while you were taking a shower, and it's safe to eat."
"good."
The next morning, the whole family had breakfast in the old lady's courtyard, and Pei Sui took Meng Sheng to the hospital.
They did a blood and urine test, and the results were exactly as they had predicted the night before.
I'm pregnant.
Meng Sheng is pregnant.
Meng Sheng was only stunned for a moment, because she was already prepared. She took a breath and calmed down. Turning her head, she saw Pei Sui standing there dumbfounded.
She poked his waist, amused. "What are you spacing out for?"
Pei Sui took her hand and asked about the doctor's precautions, asking in great detail and listening attentively.
It was already 11 o'clock when we left the hospital.
"Let's go to the Civil Affairs Bureau tomorrow. I'll make an appointment by phone later."
"Um?"
Meng Sheng was taken aback by his sudden idea. "Didn't you say last night that you were going to the temple to ask for an auspicious date?"
Pei Sui put his arm around her waist and said, "No matter which day it is, as long as we get our marriage certificate, it will be a good day."
