"Don't talk for now, I'll take a break." Chen Yanqiu didn't want to go on and interrupted Zhu Tingyue.
He is really weird today! Zhu Tingyue thought, and stretched out her hand to put it on his head, muttering, "He doesn't have a fever!"
Chen Yanqiu's brows were furrowed so tightly that they could pinch a fly to death. Zhu Tingyue's ability to read people's expressions seemed to have disappeared all of a sudden. He had shown it so clearly, but she still couldn't understand?
He opened his mouth to say more when there was a knock on the door.
The person who came was a woman in her twenties or thirties, carrying something that looked like a medicine box.
Are you here to treat yourself?
Chen Yanqiu wanted to say that he was not sick, but Zhu Tingyue had already stood up and greeted people.
"Doctor Qu, please come and have a look. He doesn't feel well today."
Zhu Tingyue gave up her seat beside the bed to make it easier for the doctor to see the patient.
Although Doctor Qu was surprised why the young man in front of her was here and knew her identity, she just took a look, sat down and started to treat Shen Yanqiu without asking any more questions.
She said succinctly: "Miss Zhu, please stretch out your hand so I can see it."
Chen Yanqiu lay on the bed, silently swallowing the words of rejection on his lips, and under Zhu Tingyue's gaze, he stretched out his hand.
Doctor Qu put his hand on Shen Yanqiu's wrist, just like a Chinese medicine doctor taking his pulse.
Shen Yanqiu was really shocked. The Zhu family also has traditional Chinese medicine? Isn't it too comprehensive?
Zhu Tingyue stared at Doctor Qu nervously, fearing that something might happen to Shen Yanqiu, and did not notice his surprised expression at all.
Doctor Qu felt the pulse and closed his eyes in deep thought for a while. Even Shen Yanqiu felt uneasy: Why didn't Doctor Qu speak? Could he be seriously ill? Was it difficult to cure? Modern medical conditions were so advanced, could he still be saved?
Zhu Tingyue was also worried. Doctor Qu was always quick-witted and said whatever she wanted to say. In the few years she had been at the Zhu family, Zhu Tingyue had never seen her take a pulse for so long. What was wrong? Was it a serious illness?
She wanted to ask but didn't dare to, and waited cautiously for Dr. Qu's result.
Finally, Doctor Qu let go of her hand, looked at Shen Yanqiu solemnly and asked, “Miss Zhu, how long has it been since you had your period?”
How could Chen Yanqiu know this? He had never heard the word "menstruation" since he became Zhu Tingyue.
In fact, these two words were extremely unfamiliar to him no matter when.
What does Dr. Qu mean by asking this now?
Chen Yanqiu felt uneasy, as he knew very well that this question was crucial and that if he answered it wrongly, he might be exposed.
Therefore, he did not dare to speak easily, but cast his expectant eyes towards Zhu Tingyue beside him, hoping to get some hints or help from her.
However, what surprised and disappointed Chen Yanqiu was that Zhu Tingyue seemed to be under a spell at this moment, standing there stupidly, not moving at all.
There was no expression on her face and her eyes were empty, like a sculpture without a soul.
what happens?
Chen Yanqiu's expectation turned into doubt the moment he saw Zhu Tingyue clearly.
Isn't it just about menstruation? Doesn't every woman have it? What's so strange about it?
Wait! Does menstruation come every month? But why has it never come to me?
Chen Yanqiu widened his eyes and turned his gaze to Zhu Tingyue in disbelief, and the two made eye contact.
Chen Yanqiu: Is that what I meant?
Zhu Tingyue: That’s exactly what you think!
Chen Yanqiu: Ahhhhh!
The expressions of the two people said it all. Doctor Qu had the answer and returned to his usual bluntness: "Miss Zhu, you are very likely pregnant!"
Pregnant?
This word makes Shen Yanqiu more uncomfortable than menstruation!
He is still a man in essence! How can he get pregnant? How can he give birth to a child? How can he give birth to a child?
Why? Why did God do this to him? Why couldn't he switch back with Zhu Tingyue this morning?
Chen Yanqiu wanted to howl to the sky, and Zhu Tingyue wanted to do so even more!
Oh my god, when did she get pregnant? Shen Yanqiu and I have been taking precautions all along!
What to do now? Should Shen Yanqiu have a baby? Can he accept it?
Zhu Tingyue glanced at Chen Yanqiu carefully, only to see that he had a look of despair on his face, as if all his energy had been drained out the moment he found out she was pregnant. He lay there like a dazed man, with lifeless eyes.
Oh! It's difficult!
Doctor Qu didn't know what was going on, but seeing the expressions on their faces, she gave them one more reminder: "It's still early in the pregnancy, so it's best to go to the hospital for a checkup."
Zhu Tingyue nodded seriously. Doctor Qu was right. No matter what, they still had to go to the hospital first.
Doctor Qu was about to leave when he heard this, but was stopped by Mother Zhu who suddenly rushed in: "Doctor Qu, what did you just say? Who is pregnant?"
Doctor Qu opened his mouth and looked at Shen Yanqiu again. Although he didn't say who, his eyes were clear.
Mother Zhu suddenly felt as if her soul had been sucked out of her and she became completely dispirited in an instant.
Her once agile steps seemed to have lost their support. Her body swayed violently, and then she sat down heavily on the edge of the bed.
Her eyes were lifeless, empty and dull, and she stared straight ahead, as if everything in front of her had nothing to do with her.
Zhu Tingyue and Shen Yanqiu were at a loss as to what to do when they saw Zhu's mother suddenly barging in. How to explain this matter to her was a big problem.
Doctor Qu went out at some point, and there were only three of them left in the room. It was silent for a while.
Shen Yanqiu, the victim and the instigator, apologized to Zhu’s mother: “I’m sorry, I…I’m not…I didn’t expect this to happen.”
He didn't know how to say this. Judging from the time, the child must have been conceived before they swapped bodies.
There is no doubt that the mistake was caused by himself, and he must take responsibility.
But now he has become "Zhu Tingyue", and the person who bears the responsibility has become "Chen Yanqiu"!
Zhu's mother was already sad because the two of them couldn't switch back, and this was an even bigger blow.
Chen Yanqiu bit her lips tightly, her eyes swaying back and forth helplessly, not daring to look directly at Zhu's mother, and feeling guilty towards Zhu Tingyue.
Zhu Tingyue also came back to her senses at this time. Since it has become a fact, she should face it! Now she is afraid that her mother cannot accept this.
She secretly glanced at her mother, only to see that her mother was still in a daze. She suddenly felt sad, thinking that it was because of her greed for temporary pleasure that such a thing happened and made her mother sad.
She half-knelt beside the bed, took her mother's hand and placed it in her palm. Seeing her like this, Chen Yanqiu also got up and knelt beside the bed like her.
Zhu Tingyue, feeling full of guilt, lowered her head and said softly to her mother: "Mom, I'm sorry, it's my fault. I did something wrong and made you sad!"
Chen Yanqiu also said: "I'm sorry, don't blame Yueyue, it's all my fault, I was wrong, you can do whatever you want, don't blame Yueyue."
