Gu Shi didn't say anything, but kept stroking Lin Qingyu's back, silently comforting her.
After a few minutes, Lin Qingyu felt much better.
"Alright, let's eat first, I'm starving!"
Once Lin Qingyu recovered, she was completely unrecognizable from her previous frail appearance.
Gu Shi still felt sorry for her, so he gently kissed Lin Qingyu's forehead and carried her off the bed.
"Since you're not feeling well, I'll put your shoes on for you from now on!"
Gu Shi squatted down and found a pair of soft-soled shoes for Lin Qingyu, then put them on for her himself.
"It seems a bit out of reach."
Lin Qingyu spoke blankly, bending down to reach her feet, which was indeed somewhat difficult.
Her health wasn't very good either; her feet had been swollen for a long time, and there was no way to relieve it now.
Gu Shi was a little worried about her, so he stood up, stroked her hair, and said, "I'll take you to the hospital in a bit!"
Lin Qingyu nodded expressionlessly, as if she hadn't heard Gu Shi's question about going to the hospital.
After dinner, Gu Shi said he was going to take Lin Qingyu to the hospital, and Li Xiuhua wanted to go with her.
"Is Qingyu alright? Should I go with her and hear what the doctor has to say?"
She looked at Lin Qingyu with some anxiety, her eyes full of worry.
Lin Aiguo couldn't help either, as he had been thinking a lot ever since Li Xiuhua had spoken to him last time.
Now that their family's life has finally improved, they can't go back to the way things were before, so they might as well listen to Li Xiuhua more.
Gu Shi was still thinking about how to refuse Li Xiuhua, afraid that she would worry even more if she went.
Unexpectedly, Lin Qingyu refused, saying, "Mother, you shouldn't go. You got up so early today, why don't you take a nap first? I'm fine, I just need a routine check-up."
She grabbed Gu Shi's hand, waved goodbye, and walked out, closing the door behind her.
With a bang, Lin Qingyu walked down the stairs without looking back.
"Little Jade!"
Gu Shi rushed in front of her and stood on the step that was shorter in front of her.
At a glance, I saw Lin Qingyu with red eyes and tears streaming down her cheeks.
Lin Qingyu stood there blankly, not saying a word or making any extra movements, feeling heartbroken for Gu Shi.
He hugged Lin Qingyu again, not daring to say a word.
Gu Shi remembered that Lin Qingyu had said before that if she was very sad, all he needed to do was hug her and not say too many comforting words.
So he did this every time, but seeing Qingyu's sad face made him feel terrible too.
Lin Qingyu silently shed tears, and after a while, she raised her head.
"I feel so useless!"
Gu Shi felt a sharp pang in his heart; lately, Lin Qingyu's mood had been affecting him greatly.
The stairwell wasn't a place to talk, so Gu Shi carried her slowly downstairs, comforting her as he did so.
"Let's go to the car first, I have something to tell you."
Lin Qingyu let Gu Shi pull her into the car, and after Gu Shi got in, she composed herself.
What are you trying to say?
Actually, she still had some expectations in her heart, for some reason.
Gu Shi closed the car door, took something out of his pocket, and held it mysteriously with both hands.
"Guess what this is?"
Lin Qingyu's curiosity was completely piqued. Gu Shi had never acted like this before; he was always very serious.
However, she really had no clue, so she first shook her head and then asked, "Are you going to give me a gift?"
Gu Shi's ears turned slightly red; this was a suggestion given to him by his subordinates.
They say that young girls these days like things that are romantic and full of surprises.
The idea of sending gifts was Lin Dajun's suggestion. Lin Dajun was the one Gu Shi had specifically asked to protect Lin Qingyu.
Gu Shi's heart raced. He opened his palm, and slowly revealed a thin iron chain-like object with something hanging from it.
"This is?"
Lin Qingyu didn't react for a moment. She picked it up and looked at it. It was golden yellow.
Gu Shi picked up the necklace and put it on Lin Qingyu.
Do you like it?
Lin Qingyu took the ornament from the pendant around her neck; it was a flower.
"It looks great, you have good taste!"
Her mood instantly improved, and her previous unhappiness completely disappeared.
"Who taught you this? You've got a whole set of skills, huh!"
Lin Qingyu looked at it happily again and again; the necklace around her neck was really beautiful.
Gu Shi's ears grew increasingly red, and he awkwardly started the car.
Don't you like it?
Lin Qingyu saw Gu Shi's ear from the side and felt a little amused, so she laughed.
"I'm so happy! You're the best to me!"
Gu Shi felt a gentle touch on his cheek, which was fleeting and did not linger.
Lin Qingyu kissed his face, a very gentle kiss without a trace of lust.
Gu Shi felt happier than ever before.
The two arrived at the hospital in a relaxed atmosphere.
Lin Qingyu became somewhat resistant during the examination.
Gu Shi felt her stiffness, so he comforted her by putting his arm around her and patting her back.
Lin Qingyu glanced at him. When she went inside for the examination, Gu Shi could no longer follow. Her heart began to race.
"I……"
"Don't worry, I've got you covered!"
Gu Shi extended his finger, knowing Lin Qingyu's unease, and gently placed it on Lin Qingyu's lips.
Because there were quite a few people around, the action didn't even last a second; it was as if Gu Shi had simply reached out and brushed his hand across her face.
However, Lin Qingyu felt much better.
When it was her turn for the checkup, the doctor measured her blood pressure, which was a little high.
"Lin Qingyu, your blood pressure is 142/82, which is a little high. Do you have any edema?"
Lin Qingyu answered obediently. The doctor noticed that she was a little nervous and tried to distract her by talking to her.
This doctor was quite responsible; she kept her hand on Lin Qingyu's pulse the whole time, and only let go when Lin Qingyu was less nervous.
"I noticed you seemed a bit nervous when I was talking to you just now; your heart was beating so fast! Are you afraid to come to the hospital?"
The doctor had only said it jokingly, but Lin Qingyu nodded seriously.
"Yes, doctor! What should I do if I'm still nervous when I give birth?"
The doctor behind the desk comforted her.
The female doctor had gray hair, wore reading glasses, and looked to be in her sixties. Her hand didn't tremble at all when she wrote.
"You need to relax. Sometimes thinking too much can affect you and the child. When you get home, eat less salt!"
Lin Qingyu wrote down everything the old doctor said, and after leaving the consultation room, she felt like a different person.
Are you alright?
Gu Shi came over immediately. There were many couples waiting outside, most of them young and fashionably dressed.
"It's nothing, I just want to tell you something secretly!"
