Lin Yuxi only slowly opened her eyes when the man's hand touched the top of her head.
"You're back?" she asked in a hoarse voice.
Seeing that she wasn't feeling well, Gu Chen quickly asked, "Have you been feeling unwell lately? You seem to be sleeping all the time. Are you in any pain? I'll take you to the hospital for a checkup."
Lin Yuxi lay in bed, feeling dizzy, perhaps because she had slept for too long.
"No, it's probably because I've been too tired lately and haven't been resting well. It's all your fault for making me stay up until the middle of the night."
She reached out and pinched Gu Chen's hard waist hard, but when she pinched him, it was all muscle and the man didn't budge.
He was just too thirsty. Once at noon and once at night, wasn't he tired? She was exhausted too.
It's been half a month since I came here from Qinghe Village. I don't know how this man has such good stamina. He's full of energy every day and can even go to the army for training.
Gu Chen lowered his head and kissed her forehead. "I won't come tonight. I'll give you a good massage."
Lin Yuxi felt weak all over and nodded.
Gu Chen made her a cup of warm water and brought it in.
“When I got back, Sister He called me. She said she called you a few times in the yard but you didn’t answer. She was worried that you might be sick, so she told me to come in and check on you. If you’re not feeling well, we won’t come over for dinner.” Gu Chen supported Lin Yuxi’s back while carefully holding the bowl and feeding her water.
Lin Yuxi glared at him and pushed him, "It's all your fault."
She even has to work overtime at noon before leaving. Otherwise, would she be so tired?
The two tidied up in the room and then went out to walk towards He Cuiping's house.
He Cuiping said she would kill a chicken, and she did. Before she even got close to the yard, she could smell the aroma of chicken soup, which smelled quite delicious. Lin Yuxi found the smell rather cloying.
"Little sister, you're finally here! Come in and sit down. I called you from outside the courtyard this afternoon, but you didn't hear me. I must have guessed you were asleep." He Cuiping smiled broadly, and there was no trace of her crying on her face at this moment.
Just then, Political Commissar Wang brought the child back. The child looked somewhat like He Cuiping and was almost up to Political Commissar Wang's shoulder. He very obediently began to greet people, "Hello, Uncle, hello, Aunt."
"Go do your homework," Political Commissar Wang urged. The child ran off, and then he called Gu Chen and Lin Yuxi into the house.
Commissar Wang invited Gu Chen and Lin Yuxi to sit on the sofa. Their home was decorated much more simply. Lin Yuxi saw He Cuiping busy in the kitchen, so she didn't feel comfortable sitting on the sofa and stood up to walk into the kitchen.
"Sister-in-law, if there's anything I can help you with, just tell me."
Lin Yuxi walked in as she went, but the further she went, the stronger the oily smell of the chicken soup became.
The layout of the bungalows and courtyards was all the same. At this moment, she felt a churning in her stomach, and then she quickly covered her mouth and ran to the toilet, squatting on the ground and feeling nauseous.
"vomit……"
Gu Chen's expression changed, and he rushed into the bathroom. "What's wrong?"
He Cuiping quickly put down the spatula, roughly wiped her hands on her apron, and asked with a worried expression, "Girl, what's wrong?"
Lin Yuxi's ears were ringing from vomiting, and Gu Chen kept patting her back. He Cuiping hurriedly went to the kitchen to pour a glass of warm water. Only Political Commissar Wang sat on the sofa, dumbfounded. "What's wrong?"
Lin Yuxi was still vomiting in the toilet. She vomited several times before she felt much better.
He Cuiping took a glass of water and handed it to her, saying, "Sister, rinse your mouth and drink some warm water to calm down."
Lin Yuxi took a sip, rinsed her mouth with warm water, and even spit out tears, but the nausea in her stomach kept swirling and wouldn't go away.
"Come on, I'll take you to the hospital to get checked out." Gu Chen held her arm, looking at her with great concern. She was so energetic during the day, but now she's in such a state. Could it be that there was something wrong with the fruit he brought back?
His expression immediately turned sour.
"It's all my fault. If I hadn't brought you food back without thinking, you wouldn't have gotten a stomachache."
He Cuiping, being an experienced woman, patted Lin Yuxi on the back after she had been perfectly fine during the day. Suddenly, she narrowed her eyes and asked, "Little sister, are you feeling nauseous from the smell of chicken soup?"
Lin Yuxi nodded.
"You wouldn't... be pregnant, would you?" He Cuiping's face lit up with joy. "Xiao Gu, you should take Lin Meizi to get checked out right away. I was just saying it casually, but let the doctor check to see if she's pregnant."
Lin Yuxi is still traveling outside of the clouds.
ah?
Gu Chen was first shocked, then incredulous, and then stared at Lin Yuxi.
"Wait... Sister-in-law, could you look after her for me? I'm going to borrow a car." Gu Chen hurriedly ran out. The bicycle was too bumpy; he'd borrow a government vehicle to take her to the hospital first.
Lin Yuxi's face was also full of disbelief, "Pregnant...?"
