Before going to work, Xiao Yuheng gently kissed Gu An'an on the head. Noticing her trembling eyelashes, he didn't expose her as faking sleep. Instead, he smiled indulgently.
Gu An'an didn't open her eyes until the door closed. She sighed at the ceiling, feeling a sweet "burden."
Gu An'an is a normal woman, and given that the man is well-trained and has a good physique, she naturally wants him too.
But ever since Xiao Yuheng found out she was planning to go home, he's been like the protagonist in many novels who starts spending money for revenge after learning the apocalypse is coming, except his target is her.
Rubbing her aching lower back, Gu An'an felt that even fighting zombies wasn't this tiring.
Lost in thought, she drifted off to sleep again. When she woke up once more, she saw a small note left by Xiao Yuheng, along with a sumptuous breakfast.
"Remember to eat breakfast. I'll bring lunch back."
Knowing that Gu An'an had been working hard lately, Xiao Yuheng didn't want her to cook three meals a day, so for the past few days he had been eating the special meals he ordered at the cafeteria. Anyway, everyone knows that his wife can earn money, so what's wrong with earning more and spending more?
Anyway, Xiao Yuheng adapted to being a "gold digger" very quickly, and would even ask, "Are you jealous?" when others teased him about it.
When Xiao Yuheng entered the room, Gu An'an was sitting by the window translating a manuscript. Her serious and focused expression immediately struck Xiao Yuheng's heart.
"Lunch is ready. Today the cafeteria has your favorite chopped chili fish head."
Xiao Yuheng set out the food, and Gu An'an also came out after tidying up her manuscript.
Gu An'an was quite happy to hear that there was chopped chili fish head. Old Cui from the cafeteria made an absolutely amazing chopped chili fish head.
The tender fish pieces hit my mouth, but instead of the expected freshness and flavor, they had a fishy smell. My stomach churned instantly, and I quickly turned my head to vomit.
Xiao Yuheng's expression suddenly changed, and he immediately reached out and gently patted Gu An'an's back, "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
Gu An'an dry heaved for a long time, but only vomited some acidic water. After the churning feeling in her stomach subsided a bit, she finally breathed a sigh of relief and said, "This fish tastes very fishy. Is it spoiled?"
"broken?"
That's impossible. The cafeteria's purchasing is handled by designated personnel, and it's always based on demand. How could it possibly spoil?
After saying that, Gu An'an also felt that it was not that serious. After all, it was a military canteen. If they really fed people spoiled food, it would be difficult to deal with the consequences.
"Is the fish not very fresh? It tastes very fishy to me."
Speaking of fishy smell, Gu An'an seemed to smell that odor again and couldn't help but vomit twice more.
Xiao Yuheng didn't understand what the problem was, so he picked up his chopsticks and took a bite.
Hmm, there's no strange smell at all, and it tastes just as good as before.
Seeing that Xiao Yuheng was perfectly fine, Gu An'an wanted to try another bite, but as soon as she picked up her chopsticks, she was hit by a fishy smell. Feeling uncomfortable, she quickly moved a meter away from the table.
Still feeling unwell?
Gu An'an covered her mouth, "Take that fish away from me, I can't stand the smell."
Since meeting Gu An'an, she had always been lively and energetic, never even having a minor cold, let alone like this now, with her eyes reddening after just a few dry heaves. Xiao Yuheng felt extremely distressed seeing this and quickly took the fish into the kitchen.
"Did you eat something bad?"
Thinking about the recent meals at home, Gu An'an said uncertainly, "I don't know~"
I've endured all kinds of hardships in the apocalypse, and I've never been this delicate. Has transmigrating changed me?
"I'll take you to the hospital to get checked out."
Xiao Yuheng picked up his coat and was about to put it on Gu An'an, but once the fishy smell was gone, the uncomfortable feeling from before disappeared, so Gu An'an didn't want to make a big fuss.
"It's nothing, it's probably just an upset stomach. I'll just avoid eating fish. If I'm still feeling unwell tomorrow, I'll go see a doctor."
She dislikes going to the hospital and is very stubborn about it.
Xiao Yuheng didn't want to force her, so he could only give up when he saw the situation.
"Okay, but if you still feel unwell tomorrow, you must go to the hospital."
Since Gu An'an couldn't finish the chopped chili fish head, Xiao Yuheng could only prepare something else for her.
What do you want to eat?
Gu An'an thought for a moment and said, "Just have some porridge with the pickled vegetables that Aunt Zhang brought yesterday."
Xiao Yuheng didn't want her to eat such a simple meal, but Gu An'an couldn't eat anything else except for a bite of pickled vegetables. Seeing this, Xiao Yuheng frowned.
After finishing his meal, Xiao Yuheng had to go to work.
"If you feel unwell this afternoon, tell someone to let me know, and I'll take you to the hospital, okay?"
Gu An'an had heard this countless times, and impatiently pushed the person out the door, saying, "I know, I know, stop nagging."
Xiao Yuheng stumbled from the push, but seeing that she was in better condition than before, he was slightly relieved.
Having slept a lot in the morning, Gu An'an started working, sitting for two hours straight. After finishing her work, she realized her body was a bit stiff. After putting her things away, she wanted to go out for a walk to get some fresh air.
"Sister-in-law, are you home?"
"Yes, come in quickly."
The riverbank had just begun to thaw, and the Second Battalion Commander took Dunzi fishing. Liu Li was just getting ready to prepare a special dinner for the father and son when she heard the shout. She quickly washed her hands and went to open the door.
To everyone's surprise, as soon as the door opened, Gu An'an, whose face had been rosy, suddenly took a few steps back, covered her mouth, squatted outside the door, and began to vomit.
She had only drunk some porridge at noon, and now all she could vomit was some porridge water, but this still frightened Liu Li quite a bit, so she quickly went over to check on her.
As she approached, the fishy smell that had dissipated due to the hind legs returned, making Gu An'an feel uncomfortable. She quickly called out, "Sister-in-law, don't come any closer."
Liu Li was completely baffled, but she dared not go any further, fearing that something might happen to Gu An'an.
"An'an, what's wrong with you? Should we go to the hospital to get it checked out?"
Gu An'an vomited several more times until she felt there was nothing left to vomit. Then she took out a handkerchief to wipe her mouth and stood up, looking somewhat tired. "It's nothing, I just feel uncomfortable from the smell of fish. I guess I've had some stomach problems these past few days."
Gu An'an and Xiao Yuheng were like chicks, only thinking that they had really eaten something that upset their stomachs. But Liu Li was a woman who had given birth, and when she heard her say that, she immediately thought of a certain possibility.
"An'an, have you gotten your period this month?"
Menstruation? Gu An'an was stunned for a moment before she remembered that menstruation was her period. She had never kept track of her period and couldn't say exactly which day it was, but she vaguely remembered that it was probably late.
She's not stupid. Her period is late, and now she's gagging at the smell of fish—isn't this just like the pregnancy scenes in TV dramas?!
"Sister-in-law, you mean me...?"
Although she was already married, she had never thought about what it would feel like to actually have a baby.
Is she going to be a mom? Will there be a little one calling her "Mommy" all day long?
What's with this feeling of being both terrifying and sweet?
Liu Li thought Gu An'an was overjoyed. "In my opinion, it's almost certainly true, but to know if she's really pregnant, we still need to go to the hospital to check. How about I go and call Deputy Regiment Commander Xiao to go with you?"
No, no need.
