Chapter 47
Han Shuo was truly satisfied this time, not only satisfying his desires but also perfectly completing his mission.
After it was over, he lay on Meng Yuxiu's bed, too exhausted to move a single finger.
Meng Yuxiu acted impulsively, but afterwards he became worried, thinking that the noise they had made might have been heard by others. So he held Han Shuo and listened quietly for a while, especially to the classmate sleeping on the upper bunk.
He only breathed a slight sigh of relief after hearing his roommate grinding his teeth.
"What time is it?" Han Shuo asked, his voice a little hoarse.
Although neither of them made any big movements this time, they were in the dormitory, so they were on edge and timid the whole time, which still took a lot of energy.
Meng Yuxiu had been borrowing flashlights from his classmates, but since the incident was sudden and he was unprepared, he couldn't see the time on his wrist.
Han Shuo then took off his watch, then lifted a corner of the curtain and peeked through the light from the corridor.
"What time is it?" Meng Yuxiu leaned closer and asked.
"Damn, it's past three o'clock." Han Shuo handed the watch back to him and was about to lift the blanket to put on his pants. "I have to go back to the dorm."
"Lie down a little longer," Meng Yuxiu said, pulling him back.
He added, "Let's wait a while before we leave."
Seeing Meng Yuxiu's sticky and clingy appearance, Han Shuo suddenly found it somewhat amusing.
But then I thought about it again, and realized that my behavior was like a scumbag who rushes to someone when he's in heat, then leaves without giving them any time for tenderness. It was really a bit unreasonable.
Since it was already three o'clock, he figured a little more time wouldn't make a difference, so he lay back down.
The moment he lay back down, Meng Yuxiu's arm wrapped around him again, and he brought his head even closer.
Han Shuo was in a very good mood after resolving the inexplicable request tonight.
Therefore, the unpleasant incident of Meng Yuxiu's mission failure some time ago was also forgotten.
He raised an eyebrow and joked, "What, want to do it again? No way, I can't take it anymore."
"No." Meng Yuxiu could tell that Han Shuo was joking. He chuckled softly, then pulled his arms closer and hugged Han Shuo even tighter.
He pressed his face against Han Shuo's and asked intimately, "Is your stomach upset?"
Actually, since we were doing it secretly, the process couldn't have been very intense under those conditions. However, Meng Yuxiu wasn't fully clear-headed at the time, and even though his mind was a mess while he was doing it, some risk warnings kept popping up.
He was startled at first, but when Han Shuo's hot hand grabbed his wrist, he succumbed again.
Thinking about it now, I feel a chill down my spine.
"I feel fine." Han Shuo patted his hand. "Don't worry, I know my own body. Stop being so dramatic."
After hearing this, Meng Yuxiu smiled and reached out to touch Han Shuo's lower abdomen.
Since Han Shuo became pregnant, he hadn't had the chance to caress her so carefully. Or rather, at this late hour, if you ignored the croaking of frogs in the dormitory, this moment seemed to belong only to the two of them.
Meng Yuxiu quietly felt Han Shuo's warm skin under his palm. Han Shuo's waist and abdomen were very firm, covered with a thin layer of fat, which was the healthy physique of a teenager of this age.
But... Meng Yuxiu touched it again, and whispered to Han Shuo, "It's been almost four months, why isn't my belly bigger yet?"
Han Shuo had seen pregnant women before, but they were all pregnant women with large bellies.
So how could he possibly know how big a pregnant woman's belly can grow in one month, three months, or five months?
So he said, "I don't know, maybe it's because I'm thin. I've heard that some thin women can't be told they're pregnant for ten months, and then their babies are born as big as oranges."
"Hmm." Meng Yuxiu nodded knowingly, and after a few seconds, he asked curiously, "Can you feel anything? Is there any movement in your belly?"
"I didn't feel anything," Han Shuo said truthfully. "Tsk, actually, if you hadn't mentioned it, I probably wouldn't have even remembered I was pregnant."
He suddenly thought of something and nudged Meng Yuxiu with his elbow, "Hey, do you think it's possible that the one in my belly is a simpleton like you, which is why it's not moving at all?"
Actually, it's not that Han Shuo didn't feel anything; even Meng Yuxiu, seeing Han Shuo acting like a normal person, full of energy and energy every day, sometimes felt quite confused.
He sometimes wondered if he would only have that strong realization that there was a life inside Han Shuo's belly after he saw Han Shuo's belly grow bigger.
But when Han Shuo suddenly said those words, a feeling suddenly arose in his heart.
He couldn't describe it; he only felt that Han Shuo's words vividly shaped something ethereal into something flesh and blood, so livingly intertwined with him.
Beneath his palm was still Han Shuo's firm abdomen. Perhaps after a while, the skin in that area would gradually soften. Thinking of this, Meng Yuxiu couldn't help but feel a slight warmth in his heart.
"Tell me, what does it look like?"
Han Shuo hadn't thought about this question. In fact, he felt that his pregnancy would eventually disappear, and he would definitely have to return to the 21st century.
In addition, he didn't really realize he was pregnant, so he didn't pay much attention to his belly.
"How would I know?" To be honest, Han Shuo was still a little uncomfortable about being able to get pregnant as a man, so he didn't want to dwell on the matter. "Sigh, let's not talk about this. It won't happen again. Why ask?"
Meng Yuxiu remained silent, but the fingers that were resting on Han Shuo's lower abdomen twitched slightly.
After a while of silence, Han Shuo turned to look at him. The light was dim, but he could still see that the man's eyes were lowered.
Han Shuo hesitated before asking, "Don't tell me... you want it, right?"
Meng Yuxiu remained silent, only his fingers curled slightly.
Han Shuo was genuinely surprised that Meng Yuxiu would have such a thought, and for a moment, he was shocked.
But upon further reflection, he realized that an eighteen-year-old boy suddenly getting an adult pregnant, and being pregnant for the first time, might have a special feeling about his first child.
However, he just had a child, and now he has to face the prospect of the child disappearing soon, which he probably won't be able to accept psychologically.
Han Shuo felt that he should provide psychological counseling to prevent him from suffering psychological trauma.
So he raised his arm, put it behind Meng Yuxiu's neck, and hugged him, whispering, "Okay, stop. Didn't we agree to go back? Besides, you're only eighteen, the prime of your youth, you haven't even gone to university yet."
You imagine you can take the college entrance exam here with great enthusiasm, and then you can take it again when you go back. Doesn't that sound awesome?
Meng Yuxiu remained silent.
Han Shuo patted his shoulder and sighed, "If you really like children, then go back and have one, no, how about having ten or eight?"
Meng Yuxiu raised his eyes and asked, "With whom?"
"..." Han Shuo was so enthusiastic about comforting people that Meng Yuxiu's words choked him off.
Meng Yuxiu likes him so much now, he must want to have a child with him. Han Shuo softened when he saw how sad he was. To be honest, if he stayed here, he would reluctantly have one child with him.
No way, he has to go back to the 21st century. Once he goes back, his butt will just be a butt, and he really won't be able to give birth anymore.
Han Shuo couldn't answer for a long time, and finally had to change the subject: "Let's not talk about this, let's talk about something else, like which college you're planning to apply to? Oh right, you're going to Jinhua University. I'm planning to go to Heyuan University in Hecheng, but my mock exam score is still far from enough. But don't worry, even if I don't get into Heyuan University, I'll go to a junior college in Hecheng. I'll definitely go to the same city as you..."
However, while Han Shuo rattled off a long speech, Meng Yuxiu merely nodded and responded with a nasal tone, sounding rather dejected.
Han Shuo was at his wit's end, and since it was very late, he coaxed her for a while longer before going back to his dorm to sleep.
Meng Yuxiu was down for two days after that night, which Han Shuo could tell, but he couldn't worry about that for the time being; he still had to make one last push.
In those days, college applications were filled out before the exams, and everyone's choices were based on their usual grades plus mock exam results. Faced with this uncertainty about their future, the other students were extremely worried.
Han Shuo was also a little insecure. Although he told Meng Yuxiu that he would be willing to go to a junior college in Hecheng, the college entrance examination was difficult these days, and he was afraid that he would not even be qualified for a junior college.
But then he thought again, wait a minute. He and Meng Yuxiu were going back anyway. He took the college entrance exam just to make Han Hong happy, so what difference did it make whether he got into a university in Hecheng or not? Anyway, he wasn't just filling in one application.
Although they still had many missions to complete, he had already made up his mind. Once the college entrance examination was over, he would take Meng Yuxiu to work in the county town during the summer vacation, preferably with accommodation provided.
If accommodation isn't provided, then we can temporarily use the tutoring fees Meng Yuxiu earned, sell both of their books, and see if we can rent a cheap room in the county town.
In this way, he and Meng Yuxiu would work during the day and have sex at night. If they worked hard, they could not only finish the task in one summer vacation, but they could also leave some of their wages for Han Hong and his son.
Once Han Shuo thought of this, he stopped worrying and picked up his pen to quickly fill in his college application.
The National College Entrance Examination (Gaokao) is held from June 7th to June 9th. Schools give students a three-day break before the exam so they can go home and relax.
So school ended on June 3rd.
Before Meng Yuxiu could even pack up his own books, he went to Class 7 to find Han Shuo, because Han Shuo said he was going to sell their books to the recycling center. Han Shuo was completely relaxed from then on and wouldn't look at a single word anymore. As for Meng Yuxiu, whose grades were excellent, it wouldn't matter whether he looked at them or not.
When Han Shuo saw Meng Yuxiu arrive, he asked, "Did you bring the snakeskin bag?"
"I brought it." Meng Yuxiu untied the snakeskin bag that was rolled up in his hand, and then quickly tidied up Han Shuo's desk.
There were so many books in the senior year of high school; just packing Han Shuo's books filled more than half a snakeskin bag.
After tidying up, Han Shuo, along with Pan Xiaodong and the others, encouraged each other and said goodbye. Then, Han Shuo followed Meng Yuxiu to Class 1 to tidy up his desk.
The two people's books filled two snakeskin bags. Han Shuo tied the openings tightly with rope, and after tying them, he lifted one up; it was quite heavy.
When Meng Yuxiu saw Han Shuo pick up a bag and was about to leave the classroom, he was so frightened that he hurriedly stepped forward.
"Don't lift anything heavy right now," Meng Yuxiu said nervously.
Han Shuo suddenly realized, oh right, he's pregnant now, he can't afford to have anything go wrong on the eve of the college entrance exam.
So he quickly put down the snakeskin bag and watched Meng Yuxiu pick up a bag in each hand and walk out of the classroom to the bicycle shed.
Han Shuo had originally planned to ride with Meng Yuxiu on his bicycle to the scrap yard, but now there were two bulging snakeskin bags. It would be difficult to even load both bags onto the bicycle, let alone carry anyone.
Meng Yuxiu went to the gatehouse and borrowed a nylon rope from the gatekeeper. It took him a while to finally secure the two snakeskin bags to the back seat.
"Wait for me at school."
"Okay." Han Shuo waved his hand. "Go and come back quickly. I'm going to sit in the guardhouse for a while."
Meng Yuxiu rode away on his bicycle, and Han Shuo went to the guardhouse to chat with the guard for about an hour before Meng Yuxiu returned.
Han Shuo saw him riding his bicycle on the road in the distance from the guardhouse, so he went out to meet him.
How much did you sell it for?
Because Han Shuo was waiting, Meng Yuxiu returned in a hurry. He parked his bicycle by the roadside, caught his breath, and then took out some money from his pocket.
"Four yuan."
"How much have you earned from tutoring?" Han Shuo asked.
Meng Yuxiu then took out four yuan from his pocket.
He held the money, looked at Han Shuo, and said, "Eight yuan in total."
"Why is it still fluctuating around eight yuan?" Han Shuo glanced at him. "Don't even think about using this money to book a hotel room; it'll be useful for something else."
Meng Yuxiu's face flushed slightly. He felt that in Han Shuo's eyes, he seemed very improper, as if he only thought about doing that kind of thing all day long.
I didn't mean that.
Han Shuo chuckled and put his arm around his shoulder. "I know, I know. I was just saying we need to save some money. It's okay if the conditions for our missions are a bit rough. When we get back to the 21st century, I'll use my savings to take you out and open a five-star hotel."
"Understood." Meng Yuxiu smiled and handed the money in his hand to Han Shuo.
"You keep it. If I take it back and my brother finds it when he's doing my laundry, he'll keep asking me questions, and I won't be able to answer them."
“Okay.” Meng Yuxiu put the money in his pocket.
After a three-day break, they will take the college entrance examination. After the exam, Han Shuo and Meng Yuxiu will have to go home separately. Since school ended early today, Han Shuo told Meng Yuxiu about his plans for the future. The two of them walked and talked while dragging their bicycles.
"I want to talk to you about something," Han Shuo said. "Go get a job during the summer vacation."
Meng Yuxiu asked where they were going.
"Let's look around in the county town and see if there are any factories that are hiring short-term workers. That way, we can finish our tasks during the summer vacation, earn some money to leave for my brother and the others, and then go straight back after we finish our tasks."
"Does that mean we have to rent a place?" Meng Yuxiu asked.
"If you can get a job at the factory and they provide accommodation, that would be great. If not, we'll see if we can find a cheap place to rent in the county town. That's why I told you to save up eight yuan." Han Shuo raised an eyebrow at him. "It'll be more convenient to do missions if you live outside."
Meng Yuxiu thought Han Shuo's words made a lot of sense, and he asked, "Then when should we go to the county town to look for work?"
Han Shuo thought for a moment, "It should be after the college entrance exam results are released. Anyway, we'll have to come to the school to check the results on the day they're released. After that, we'll go to the county town to find jobs."
Meng Yuxiu nodded, "Okay, then I'll pick you up then."
"OK."
"Oh right, did your parents agree to let you do a summer job in the county town?" Han Shuo asked him again.
Meng Yuxiu: "I'll tell them I'm going to do part-time work and study, and they should be able to agree."
"Then it's settled. Let's go home." Han Shuo said, plopping down on the back of the bicycle.
To save on fare, Han Shuo didn't go to the station to take the bus. Only after he got on Meng Yuxiu's bicycle did he realize how far the journey was, especially since school ended early and the sun was shining brightly. So, from school to the village, not only was Meng Yuxiu exhausted from riding, but Han Shuo also suffered from back pain and numb legs.
When they arrived at their destination, Han Shuo felt that his buttocks were covered in the metal marks left by the bicycle seat.
Meng Yuxiu didn't take Han Shuo to the village entrance. He stopped a short distance away. Han Shuo knew that the boy was afraid of running into his brother, and since he was tired of sitting, he patted his bottom and got off the car.
"I'm going back now. Be careful riding your bike." Han Shuo waved to him.
He was about to walk towards the village entrance when Meng Yuxiu called out to him.
"What's wrong?" Han Shuo stopped in his tracks.
Meng Yuxiu, riding on his bicycle, said to him, "Relax during the exam."
Han Shuo chuckled, "Have you forgotten how old I am in the 21st century? I've already taken the exam once. Don't worry, I'm more experienced than you. On the contrary, you're experiencing the college entrance exam early in this world, so don't be careless."
“I know.” Meng Yuxiu smiled.
"Alright, let's go. See you in three days!"
When Han Shuo returned home, Han Hong was already busy cooking dinner. Having a student taking the college entrance exam in the family had made the older brother, who was acting as a parent, extremely nervous.
Upon seeing Han Shuo enter, Han Hong quickly came out from behind the stove, poured water into a basin for Han Shuo to wash his face, and then gave him some cooled water to drink.
During his three-day break, Han Hong turned down work at the construction site and devoted himself to taking care of Han Shuo at home. It's common for rural people to eat leftovers, but Han Hong insisted on picking fresh food from the fields or buying fresh food from the town every day, afraid that Han Shuo would get sick from eating too much during those three days.
Seeing his brother running around busily, Han Shuo couldn't help but laugh and tell him not to overdo it.
Han Hong replied, "How can I not be nervous? This is the most important moment for you."
Han Shuo couldn't do anything about his brother. He watched his brother constantly reminding him to rest more during the day, and then running out to talk to the parents of other test-takers in the village after dinner. The thought of him disappearing from this world after the college entrance examination made him feel even more reluctant to part with him.
Three days passed quickly, and on the night before Han Shuo was to return to school, Han Hong prepared what Han Shuo needed to bring to the exam. The temperature had risen in the past few days, and considering that the stuffy exam room might affect Han Shuo's concentration, he found an enamel teacup.
After washing and scrubbing, I took scissors and scraped off the "XX Factory" logo printed on the enamel mug.
On the third day, Han Hong thought about it and decided to accompany Han Shuo to the county town.
Han Shuo quickly stopped him, "Where will you stay? Hotels are so expensive. Besides, what will happen to Tingting all alone at home?"
Han Hong looked at Han Ting, who was tilting his head back, and was indeed worried. But he was also worried about Han Shuo, fearing that Han Shuo might get a headache or fever when he returned to school. If he stayed in the county to accompany Han Shuo during the exam, he could take care of Han Shuo if something happened.
Seeing his brother so conflicted, Han Shuo said, "Then how about this, you come on the last day of the exam, and you can bring back my bedding and other things from the dorm."
Han Hong laughed and said, "Do you even need to tell me? Okay, I'll wait for you on the last day of your exam."
"Don't come too early." Han Shuo was afraid that his brother would be waiting at the school gate early in the morning, so he reminded him, "You should take the bus around noon, so you can arrive at the school just in time for my last exam."
"Okay," Han Hong agreed. "Then I'll do as you say."
Han Shuo returned to school. For the past three days, only the senior high school students who were staying at the school remained. The usually bustling playground was now deserted with only a few students.
However, when he returned to school, he did not see Meng Yuxiu. Even when he went to the dormitory of Class 1 before lights out, he only saw Meng Yuxiu's neatly made-up bed.
When they came out of the examination hall after the exam the next day, they ran into Meng Yuxiu. It turned out that Meng Yuxiu's father had come to accompany him to the exam.
Worried that his son might not eat or sleep well at school, which would affect his exams, Meng's father specially opened a hotel in the county town. So, as soon as Meng Yuxiu finished his exams, his father picked him up.
Watching Meng Yuxiu, like a well-behaved child, sit on the back of his father's bicycle, he kept turning his head to stare at Han Shuo even after his father had ridden far away, his head still not turned away.
Han Shuo waved to him, signaling him to relax. They were going to work in the county town together during the summer vacation anyway, so a couple more days together wouldn't make a difference.
Han Shuo performed relatively well in the exam, after all, he had the right mindset. However, he was quite annoyed because he never dreamed that he would have to go through this damn college entrance exam twice in his life.
After finishing the last exam on the third day, he felt as if he had completed the most important task in the world, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
The school gate was crowded with waiting parents. The sun was even stronger today, and there were no trees to provide shade, so the parents stood there with ruddy faces, constantly fanning themselves.
When Han Shuo came out, he scanned the crowd to find Han Hong's location. When he saw him, he was surprised to find that Han Hong had brought Han Ting with him as well.
Han Ting, wearing a vest and shorts, was being held by his father. He was craning his neck, looking for Han Shuo. His little face was flushed red in the sun.
But when he saw Han Shuo, he immediately shouted excitedly, "Uncle!!!"
Han Hong was also happy. He waved to Han Shuo, "Xiao Shuo! We're here!"
Han Shuo rushed over, squeezed through the crowd, and scooped Han Ting into his arms. Because there were so many people and it was so noisy, Han Shuo had to shout to them, "Brother, why did you bring Tingting?"
Han Hong said with a smile, "He wanted to come along himself!"
The family of three squeezed through the crowd, and Han Hong immediately handed the water bottle to Han Shuo, saying, "You must have worked hard on the exam. Quickly drink some water."
It was hot today, but Han Shuo was worried about needing to urinate, so he didn't dare drink much water in the exam room. He took the water bottle, tilted his head back and took a few big gulps. After finishing, he led Han Hong and his son to the dormitory to pack their things.
The dormitory was just as crowded as the outside, packed with students and parents, leaving no room to move. Han Hong told Han Shuo to take Han Ting to the corridor, saying that the dormitory was stuffy and that he shouldn't come in.
Han Hong already doted on his younger brother, and these past few days have been even more so. After he climbed up to the top bunk, Han Shuo took Han Ting for a walk in the corridor. Han Ting had never seen anything like this before. For a child who lived at home every day, seeing the large communal sleeping rooms and the parents packing their bedding and belongings like they were in a war zone, his eyes widened in amazement.
Han Shuo led him to Class 1's dormitory. After Han Hong finished packing, they had to go home. They hadn't seen Meng Yuxiu much these past few days, so they wanted to chat for a bit before leaving.
As soon as he walked to the window of Class One, he saw Meng's father tying the quilt with a rope, while Meng Yuxiu stood by the bed holding his pillow.
Mencius' father called out, "Come here, give me the pillow."
"Oh." Meng Yuxiu handed him the pillow, and after handing it over, he looked up and saw Han Shuo outside the window.
Han Shuo gestured with his chin at him, and Meng Yuxiu immediately said to his father, "Dad, my classmate is calling me."
"Go."
Meng Yuxiu came out quickly and went to the corner of the corridor with Han Shuo in tacit understanding.
He saw Han Shuo leading the short Han Ting and asked, "Is your brother here?"
"Yes, we'll head back after he finishes packing for me."
Meng Yuxiu nodded and said, "Me too."
Meng Yuxiu actually had a lot to say to Han Shuo, but the corridor was noisy, and their parents could call them at any moment after packing up their things. So all his words were summed up in one sentence: "How did your exam go?"
"Not bad, how about you?"
"Me too."
Meng Yuxiu glanced down at the child who was staring intently at him, then moved slightly closer to Han Shuo and asked, "Are you feeling alright?"
Han Shuo: "Don't worry, I'm fine."
Sure enough, after the two had only exchanged a few words, Meng Yuxiu heard someone shouting Han Shuo's name.
Han Shuo craned his neck and responded twice, "Coming, coming!"
Then he quickly said to Meng Yuxiu, "When the exam results come out, don't forget to pick me up and take me to school, and then we'll look for a job!"
After saying that, he hurriedly took Han Ting's hand and went back to the dormitory.
After returning home from the exam, Han Shuo felt completely liberated. He no longer had to get up early and go to bed late. In addition, he had finished another task in this world. Although the results had not yet been released, Han Shuo had already made a rough estimate in his mind and felt that getting into Heyuan University in Hecheng would not be a problem.
It's a pity that Jinhua University is out of the question. If he could reach Jinhua's score requirement, he would be so happy just thinking about Han Hong receiving the admission notice that he would be laughing in bed.
However, while Han Shuo relaxed, Han Hong remained anxious. Even though Han Shuo reassured him and told him that there was a chance of getting into an ordinary university, Han Hong still tossed and turned all night, unable to sleep.
Han Shuo, on the other hand, could sleep a lot. In the days following his exams, he slept until noon every day.
June is very hot, especially on the second floor where there are no fans or air conditioners, but even so, Han Shuo was unwilling to get up even though the mat was sticky.
Han Hong cooked lunch and asked his son, who was playing nearby, to go upstairs and call Han Shuo downstairs for lunch.
"Ouch." Han Ting immediately went upstairs.
Han Shuo lay sprawled on the bed, the thin blanket kicked into a ball. Han Ting went over and shook his arm, calling out in a childish voice, "Uncle, Uncle, Daddy's calling you downstairs for dinner."
"Oh." Han Shuo opened his heavy eyelids, stared at Han Ting's small face for a moment, and then propped himself up on his arms to sit up in bed.
He wasn't sure if it was because his vest was soaked with sweat, but it felt sticky and uncomfortable, making him feel dizzy and completely weak.
Even after he walked down the stairs and smelled the steaming aroma of the food in the kitchen, he still felt a tightness in his chest.
Han Hong was startled by his sickly appearance and quickly stepped forward to ask, "What's wrong? Are you sick?"
Han Shuo sat down on the stool listlessly, his voice also sounding tired, "I'm feeling a little unwell."
"Brother will take you to the town hospital." Han Hong put down the spatula and prepared to take Han Shuo to the town hospital right away. He told Han Ting to stay home and eat.
Upon hearing the word "hospital," Han Shuo's drowsy mind instantly sharpened. Going to the hospital?! The results weren't even out yet; what if he fainted after being told by the doctor that his younger brother was pregnant before he could even make Han Hong happy?
Han Shuo quickly made up an excuse: "It's nothing, I guess I'm just too tired from the exam."
Han Shuo resolutely refused to go to the hospital. Han Hong thought about it and realized that it made sense. He spent every night exchanging experiences with the parents of the test-takers in the village and had heard that many test-takers were so stressed during the exam that they fell ill afterward.
So Han Hong told him to eat and rest well. After Han Shuo managed to eat two bites and couldn't eat anymore, Han Hong spread the mat from the second-floor bed to the first floor.
"It's too hot on the second floor at noon, so you and Tingting can take a nap on the first floor."
Han Shuo hadn't initially considered his physical discomfort to be a sign of pregnancy.
First, he believed that the symptoms of pregnancy should be the same as in March, at least nausea and vomiting. Although he was sick for a week in March, the symptoms only lasted for a short time, one day.
Secondly, he thought that he had already gone through three months like a normal person, so the pregnancy symptoms couldn't possibly reappear, right? It's not like a cold, how could it keep coming back?
Besides, Meng Yuxiu had done his homework since she became pregnant. He went to the county library to find books about pregnancy, read them, and then came back to tell her.
"Generally speaking, some women experience severe pregnancy symptoms during the first three months of pregnancy, but these symptoms usually subside afterward. Except for certain individuals, pregnancy symptoms can persist until delivery."
Han Shuo is definitely not an individual with a special constitution, otherwise he would have felt something for the past few months.
But she had already been pregnant for four months without any problems, so the onset of pregnancy symptoms seemed abrupt.
So at this point, Han Shuo didn't think about pregnancy symptoms; he genuinely believed it was probably because he was too tired from the college entrance exam and was under too much stress.
That evening, Han Hong, worried about his younger brother's health, went to the reservoir to catch a fish and made fish soup for him.
When Han Shuo entered the house and smelled the fishy smell emanating from the pot on the stove, even though the lid was on, he suddenly froze and rushed outside. At that moment, he realized that his damned morning sickness had returned.
He dared not be discovered by Han Hong, so he could only suppress the nausea rising in his stomach and run to the back of the house before he dared to dry heave repeatedly.
Once the vomiting started, it became uncontrollable, continuing for several days in a row, whether it was morning or evening, and it was especially bad at mealtimes.
In short, he vomited so much that tears streamed down his face and he even came up with stomach acid.
More than four months pregnant, Han Shuo finally felt that there was something really inside his belly these past few days. Although his belly was still flat and the thing inside wasn't moving, he could feel something different. He even had the illusion that the flesh on his lower abdomen was becoming softer.
He was upset for many days until the day the results were released.
He was really too lazy to move, but the thought of having to go to the county town to find a job forced him to go out listlessly.
Han Hong was worried and said he would accompany Han Shuo to the school.
Han Shuo couldn't let him go with him. He had already made an appointment with Meng Yuxiu to go to school today and then go to the county town to look for work, and Meng Yuxiu would come to pick him up by bicycle.
Meng Yuxiu was afraid of his brother, so he waited for him not far from the village entrance.
Han Shuo made an excuse to tell his brother not to accompany him, saying, "You and Tingting can just stay home and wait for my good news."
Hearing this, and seeing how confident Han Shuo seemed, Han Hong chuckled and said, "Alright, then I'll cook you a nice meal at home and wait for you to bring back good news!"
