Jian Shu didn't keep him in suspense. She nodded and shook her head at his expectant gaze. "I'm not sure either. This afternoon, I suddenly remembered that my period hadn't come yet. It's been over a month since my last one. You know my period has always been on time, so I wondered if I might be pregnant."
"But apart from my period, I don't have any other symptoms. I'll have to wait and see if I'm pregnant."
"Then let's go and see!" Gu Mingjing said quickly. His heart was pounding, and he couldn't calm down until he got a definite answer.
Jian Shu rolled his eyes, pointed at the window, and said, "Don't you see what time it is? Running to the hospital so late at night? We can talk about it tomorrow. It won't cost you one more night."
Looking at the darkness outside, Gu Mingjing knew that he had come up with a bad idea, so he sat down in dismay, "Yeah, let's talk about it tomorrow. Are you hungry? I've prepared the meal, let's go eat first, you must be hungry after sleeping for so long."
There is no sign of having a child yet, the most important thing at the moment is to fill my stomach.
Jianshu leaned against the headboard and yawned. He had slept for a long time in the afternoon and felt a little drowsy. He nodded and said, "Okay."
When Gu Mingjing saw her lift the quilt and get out of bed, he hurried over to support her, handed the slippers to her feet, kicked away the chair blocking the way, and cleared all obstacles in front of him.
Seeing how cautious he was, Jianshu's mouth twitched slightly. He felt it was unbearable to watch. To put it bluntly, he was just like the eunuchs serving the empress in movies and TV dramas, with their heads lowered and their backs bent, following the emperor around, and he was almost pinching his throat to shout "Hey".
"Can you be more normal? Forget about whether you're pregnant or not. Even if you are, are you going to do this every day? I'm tired even if you're not. It'll be the same as before. You're carrying a baby, not a bomb. Don't be so cautious. It won't get bumped or dented that easily."
Gu Mingjing also realized that he had overreacted a bit, and when he saw her say that, he had no choice but to let go of her hand. He had already inquired about it, and at this time, no matter what his wife said, he had to go along with her and couldn't reason with her like usual.
Although his appearance had returned to normal, a closer look revealed that his eyes had basically never left Jianshu. He was always paying attention to it, ensuring that he could react immediately.
Jianshu may have noticed it, or may not have, but she glanced at the dishes that had just been served on the table. They were all her favorites, and her appetite was whetted.
Gu Mingjing served her a bowl of chicken soup, which was bright yellow and very tempting. "Be careful, it's hot, fresh out of the pot."
Jianshu took it, circled the bowl with the spoon twice, and started drinking in small sips.
Gu Mingjing, who had been carefully observing her, was secretly relieved to see that she had no discomfort. Whether she was pregnant or not, he didn't want her to lose her appetite and not be able to eat anything.
"Do you want some chicken wings? I'll tear them off for you."
Chicken wings are Jianshu's favorite. Whenever there's a chicken stew at home, they're all hers. And as for Gu Mingjing? He eats everything, and any leftovers are his.
"Yes!" Jianshu couldn't move when he heard the word "chicken wings", staring at them intently.
"Eat slowly. If you like it, I'll make it for you tomorrow." Gu Mingjing smiled and tore off a pair of chicken wings and put them in her bowl.
"I want to eat fish tomorrow." Although chicken wings are delicious, fish is also delicious. She wants to change the taste.
"Then let's stew fish with tofu?"
"It's too bland. I want to eat boiled fish."
"Do you have any more dried tofu?" This is an excellent side dish for boiled fish.
Jianshu took a look and nodded, "There is some left, but not much. It's just enough for two meals. It's not enough!" His tone was full of regret.
Since the beginning of winter, stews have become the mainstream at home. No matter what she stews, she likes to add some dried tofu. The consumption rate has greatly increased, and the soy products bought last year have been almost consumed.
"I'll see if they sell it tomorrow when I go to the city. The market isn't far away, so I'll buy some more then." If that doesn't work, I'll just go to the supply and marketing cooperative a few more times, and I'll always be able to buy it.
The two talked for a while, and by the time dinner was over, it was already late.
The two of them lay in bed at night. The room was silent, but their hearts could not calm down.
How can they sleep when they have so many things on their minds?
"Wife, go to bed early. We have things to do tomorrow." Gu Mingjing put his hand on Jianshu's abdomen and dared not move, as if he was afraid of startling the tadpoles inside that he didn't know whether they existed or not.
"I slept too long this afternoon, and I can't fall asleep right now." Jian Shu said a little depressed. She was so energetic at the moment that she asked, "What about you? Why aren't you sleeping?"
“…I can’t sleep either.”
"Hehe, same here!"
“…”
"Do you think our Yi Yi will look like me or you?" Jian Shu consciously ignored the possibility that she was not pregnant. She put her hand on Gu Mingjing's hand, with anticipation in her eyes.
"It must be like you." Gu Mingjing blurted out without thinking.
"I think so too." Jian Shu nodded. Who would she not want her child to look like after all the hard work and suffering she went through to give birth to?
"What do you think we should name the child?" We already have a nickname, but we haven't decided on a real name yet.
"..." Gu Mingjing paused, then realized that he had never thought about this question before. He didn't dare to tell the truth and changed the subject, "Dad might want to give us a name."
"That's right. But we can also think about it. Regardless of whether it will be useful or not, it can be used as a reference when the time comes." Jian Shu had no objection to letting Gu Zhan name the child. Anyway, no matter who named it, it was her child. There was no need to argue about it. It was also good to satisfy the wishes of the elders.
Besides, they were both terrible at naming, and honestly, they were at a loss. They'd spent months racking their brains to come up with a nickname, but a full name? She doubted they'd even come up with one after the baby was born.
Let the experienced elders worry about naming.
"Okay, I'll start looking up the dictionary tomorrow and will definitely give the child a nice name." Gu Mingjing was eager to try and was full of interest in naming his child.
Jian Shu yawned, ignoring the excitement in his tone, and responded perfunctorily: "As long as you are happy."
Let him be. He's the one who has the headache anyway, so she doesn't care.
I turned over and fell asleep soon.
