At that moment, Qin Feiyang really wanted to scratch Zhou Weiguang's face.
But there was nothing he could do; Zhou Weiguang was, after all, his boss, and his brother-in-law's authority couldn't really be asserted.
"Wait a minute! Xiao Shu wants to eat Zha Jiang Mian (noodles with soybean paste) so late at night? Why??"
"Why are you talking so much nonsense?" Zhou Weiguang pulled Qin Feiyang directly towards his home.
Qin Hanshu heard the commotion and knew that Zhou Weiguang had gone to find Qin Feiyang. She tried to stop him, but it was too late.
Qin Hanshu apologized, "Brother, it was Weiguang who was being silly and woke you up. Go back to sleep, I'm not eating noodles with soybean paste."
Qin Feiyang asked in bewilderment, "You ate quite a lot for dinner, why are you hungry in the middle of the night?"
Zhou Weiguang said, "He vomited it all up."
Qin Feiyang was taken aback. "He vomited? Food poisoning??"
Qin Hanshu: "..." How come these two people have the same thought process?
Zhou Weiguang explained the reasons in detail.
Qin Feiyang's mouth dropped open in disbelief. "Damn it..."
Zhou Weiguang could tell what Qin Feiyang was thinking just by looking at his expression; he simply felt that he had gotten ahead of him.
"Actually, Xiaoshu and I didn't plan to have children so early, but we couldn't help it, she just got pregnant." Zhou Weiguang's tone was casual, but it wasn't hard to hear the hidden pride in his voice.
He's amazing.
Qin Hanshu had to clarify, "It's not confirmed yet; everything depends on tomorrow's test results."
Zhou Weiguang didn't want to waste any more time talking to Qin Feiyang, so he pulled Qin Feiyang into the kitchen and said, "You teach me. Once I've learned, I won't need you anymore."
Qin Feiyang scoffed, "Even if you learn it, it might not taste the same as mine."
Zhou Weiguang was unconvinced and snorted, "It's definitely better than what you make."
After a while, Qin Feiyang said, "You don't have any meat at home? What are you going to use to make the fried sauce?"
Zhou Weiguang said, "Do you have any at home? I'll borrow them for now."
He actually had some meat at home; Cao Jing had cut it when she got home from get off work, but they ate dinner at Qin Hanshu's place, so they didn't use it.
As Qin Feiyang walked home, he said with a look of disdain, "My sister lives such a poor life because of you."
Qin Hanshu was both amused and exasperated. "Who keeps so much meat at home? Aren't you afraid it'll spoil?"
Qin Feiyang naturally understood this principle, but he was just in a bad mood and wanted to cause trouble for Zhou Weiguang.
The noodles with soybean paste were ready, and seeing Qin Hanshu eating with relish, the two grown men also became hungry and cooked another pot of noodles.
By the time we finished eating, it was almost 2 a.m.
After eating, Qin Hanshu started yawning. She was so sleepy that she asked Zhou Weiguang to clean up the kitchen and then fell asleep on the bed.
I woke up at six o'clock the next day still feeling very sleepy, but I thought I had to get checked out before going to work, so I forced myself to get out of bed.
Zhou Weiguang felt sorry for her, "Take the day off and don't go to work. Get some sleep before you get up."
Qin Hanshu shook his head.
She's a relative of someone who got in through connections, and also a new employee at the company, so she should try to keep a low profile as much as possible.
Before leaving, she took the goldfish she had bought for Wu Yingxia and her own potted clivia, planning to go directly to town to catch a bus into the city after the check-up at the clinic.
Zhou Weiguang accompanied her to the infirmary, helping to carry the fish tank and the clivia.
Qin Hanshu was already fairly certain that she was pregnant, but she still felt a bit conflicted when she saw the plus sign on her pregnancy test results.
Zhou Weiguang craned his neck to look, "Plus sign? What does that mean?"
The doctor explained, "It means you're pregnant. Congratulations to you both."
"She's really pregnant?" Zhou Weiguang felt the same way as Qin Hanshu. He was happy, but not entirely. He wasn't unhappy either. It was just... a feeling of lightheadedness, as if his mind wasn't quite settled.
The doctor gave some instructions, and Zhou Weiguang forced himself to clear his mind and listen to the doctor's advice.
"...It's not stable in the first three months, so it's best to avoid sexual intercourse." This was something the doctor specifically mentioned to this couple who looked newlywed.
Zhou Weiguang had been listening very attentively, but by the end his ears had turned red.
Thankfully, the doctor finished speaking quickly, and they could leave.
Qin Hanshu stood up, but remained standing there for a long time without taking a step.
She asked blankly, "Which foot should I step with first?"
The doctor behind him was taken aback. What did it matter which foot he stepped on first?
Zhou Weiguang understood Qin Hanshu's meaning. After thinking about it carefully for a while, he suggested uncertainly, "How about we step in with the left foot first?"
As he spoke, he tried to help Qin Hanshu up, but found that he had the fish tank in one hand and the clivia in the other, so he offered his elbow instead.
Qin Hanshu hooked her hand around Zhou Weiguang's elbow, raised her left foot, but then stopped moving after taking one step.
"Zhou Weiguang..." she finally said, her face contorted with worry, "I can't walk anymore..."
After confirming that she was carrying a baby, she suddenly felt that no matter how she moved, it was wrong.
"What if I move too much? Will I hurt the baby? Or what if he rolls around in my belly?"
Zhou Weiguang was also sweating profusely. "Well, I don't have any experience with this either. Maybe we should take smaller steps."
After overhearing the couple's conversation, the doctor was speechless.
The newlyweds, who seemed perfectly normal just moments ago, have now turned into two idiots.
The doctor, a woman in her forties, was quite understanding of Qin Hanshu and came over to gently comfort her, saying, "It's okay. You've just gotten pregnant, and the baby in your belly hasn't fully developed yet. It's only this small at most." The doctor gestured with her fingertip.
"You don't need to be too careful. Just live a normal life. Pregnancy isn't as fragile as you think."
The doctor's words brought Qin Hanshu back to her senses. She took a deep breath and nodded, saying, "I understand, doctor. Thank you."
The doctor smiled and said to Zhou Weiguang, "After she's three months pregnant, you can take her to the military hospital in the city for a check-up when you have some free time. They have more comprehensive equipment there."
"A checkup?" Zhou Weiguang panicked. "Is there a problem?"
The doctor quickly replied, "No, no, it's just to check if the pregnant woman's various indicators are normal, to prevent any problems."
Zhou Weiguang was relieved.
With the doctor's reassurance, Qin Hanshu gradually returned to normal, released Zhou Weiguang's arm, and walked out while rubbing her stomach.
At first, the speed was very slow and the movements were strange, but after a while it was almost normal, and the hand that was on the stomach was put down.
Zhou Weiguang followed beside her, his eyes fixed on her intently.
Once standing in the sunlight, Qin Hanshu breathed a long sigh of relief, finally putting her mind at ease.
She turned her head and gave Zhou Weiguang a bright smile.
"Honey, we're having a baby."
Zhou Weiguang looked intently at his wife, his Adam's apple bobbing, and nodded heavily. "Mm."
