It's unreasonable to deduce the time from when they had sex, after all, they... cough cough... are lucky if they can get a day or two off a week.
Gu Qingqiu started to daydream and search for the reactions that occur in early pregnancy. The more she read, the more she felt that they matched her own situation. She was absent-minded throughout the second half of the company's annual meeting and finally made it to the end.
Zou Jingxi's car was already waiting in the parking lot at the hotel entrance. As soon as Gu Qingqiu got in the car, she couldn't hold back the words she had been holding back all night.
"Honey, I have something very important to tell you."
Seeing Gu Qingqiu's serious expression, Zou Jingxi couldn't help but become nervous: "What's wrong, baby? Are you feeling unwell?"
"No..." Gu Qingqiu suddenly hesitated. She seemed to have been too impulsive. She wondered if her guess was too hasty. What if it was a misunderstanding? Would the other party be very disappointed?
But having already said half of what she needed to say, Gu Qingqiu could only continue, "I think... I'm pregnant..."
"Really?" Zou Jingxi's pupils dilated. He remembered Gu Qingqiu's expression of feeling unwell and nauseous earlier. His hands, gripping the steering wheel, trembled uncontrollably. It took him a long time to calm down. His dark eyes stared straight ahead: "Go home and rest first. Go to the hospital for a thorough check-up tomorrow."
Seeing that Zou Jingxi seemed to regain his composure in an instant, Gu Qingqiu forced herself to calm down as well. Wouldn't it be a waste of time if she had too high expectations?
But after the car stopped downstairs in the residential area, Zou Jingxi actually ran to the passenger side to open the door for Gu Qingqiu and even tried to help her out of the car.
Gu Qingqiu said, both amused and exasperated, "I can get off the bus by myself, okay? It's not that exaggerated!"
Zou Jingxi knew he had overreacted, so he coughed a few times and straightened his suit tie.
Not only that, Gu Qingqiu noticed that he had started walking with his hands and feet moving in unison, and couldn't help but laugh out loud.
In the end, the two of them couldn't contain their excitement and ordered a pregnancy test via an app that night, which was then delivered to their home. However, these tests are most effective when used in the morning, so even though they couldn't wait any longer, they had to go to sleep first.
The two nestled together in the soft blankets, listening to each other's breath, their hearts filled with sweetness.
Zou Jingxi woke Gu Qingqiu up in the morning because Gu Qingqiu's alarm clock had rung four or five times, but she still showed no intention of getting up, even though she had already scheduled a morning check-up.
Gu Qingqiu rubbed her sleepy eyes. She didn't know why, even though she had slept for almost eight hours, she still felt a bit sore and tired. In the end, it wasn't until Zou Jingxi wet a towel to wipe Gu Qingqiu's face and helped her change her clothes that she became more awake. She floated to the bathroom like a ghost and washed up and tidied herself up.
Because they were in a hurry, Gu Qingqiu even found that the pregnancy test at home was useless, and the two of them went to the hospital with trepidation.
Even in the morning, the hospital was still crowded. Zou Jingxi carefully protected Gu Qingqiu the whole way, afraid that someone might bump into her.
The doctor was a very gentle middle-aged woman. She asked Gu Qingqiu a few routine questions with a smile and then ordered an ultrasound examination.
It has to be said that hospitals are very efficient now. In less than an hour, Gu Qingqiu received the test report, which showed that she was indeed pregnant.
Gu Qingqiu suddenly felt a sense of unreality and confusion. She was a little scared: "I...I'm really pregnant?"
Zou Jingxi was also very excited, but he felt that the most important thing now was to soothe Gu Qingqiu's emotions, so he hugged her, kissed her forehead, and said gently, "This time it's for real, we're having a child."
For some reason, Gu Qingqiu felt like crying, and she actually cried, burying her head in Zou Jingxi's arms, her tears soaking his clothes.
Zou Jingxi gently patted Gu Qingqiu's back and coaxed her softly. Passersby noticed the situation and glanced over, but there were all kinds of patients in the hospital, so Gu Qingqiu and Zou Jingxi didn't stand out much.
After crying for more than ten minutes, Gu Qingqiu was a little tired and sobbed, "Let's go home."
Zou Jingxi smiled and said, "Okay, let's go home."
It's understandable that the expectant parents were a little nervous. In order to better raise their child, they not only enrolled in courses, but also bought many early childhood education books and prepared prenatal music.
Gu Qingqiu enrolled in a prenatal yoga class, which she heard would help with childbirth.
Regular prenatal checkups are essential. Gu Qingqiu watched as the image in the video grew larger and larger, but she couldn't understand the image, let alone tell the baby's gender.
Although there are now many special methods to know the sex of a child in advance, Gu Qingqiu and Zou Jingxi share the same view on this point—let nature take its course.
After returning home that evening, Gu Qingqiu stared at the latest ultrasound report for a long time until Zou Jingxi came forward and took the report away.
"How did it take you all night to read just these few lines? Is there a problem? Didn't the doctor say the baby is developing very healthily? The numbers are all normal," Zou Jingxi said helplessly.
"Do you think... I might be carrying a kitten?" Gu Qingqiu looked intently at Zou Jingxi.
Zou Jingxi was taken aback, then said with a mix of helplessness and amusement, "How could that be? You're not a kitten, how could you give birth to a kitten?"
"But I really did give birth to her!" Gu Qingqiu said, feeling a little aggrieved.
"...That was all made up to make you happy." Zou Jingxi decided to shatter Gu Qingqiu's unrealistic fantasies, but then he thoughtfully thought of something else: "Have you always wanted to raise a kitten?"
“…Hmm.” Gu Qingqiu responded, then suddenly looked up and said, “Forget it now. I just want to sleep all day, so I probably won’t have time to take care of the kitten.”
