Chapter 31: The female sales assistant, who is described as having a ghost, speaks very softly...
The saleswoman spoke very softly, but Yu Qing, with his good hearing, heard everything.
They were only about 1.5 meters apart.
Shu Yuhe whispered, "It's alright, you go and take care of them."
The saleswoman shrugged; she had originally intended to give her some extra sales performance.
Shu Yuhe stayed by Yu Qing's side and continued to introduce him to others.
Yu Qing strolled around and looked at everything in the store.
Finally, he arrived at the entrance empty-handed.
The saleswoman who had just reminded Shu Yuhe looked at Shu Yuhe with an expression that seemed to say: See? I told you he wouldn't buy anything.
Shu Yuhe pursed her lips indifferently.
Yu Qing turned around and pointed to the twin-sized stroller on the display stand, saying, "Can you deliver this to my door?"
Shu Yuhe immediately replied, "Sure, everything in the store can be delivered to your door."
"I want this car, and that bed, two beds, and two sets of bedding too. Also, two of each of the toys on those cabinets. I have twins, two boys," Yu Qing said.
"Okay, then I'll choose one for you?"
"Okay, you choose."
Yu Qing looked at those toys; each one was very beautiful.
It's also a matter of having a difficult choice.
Shu Yuhe immediately pushed the shopping cart over and selected two colors for each of the toys, blankets, and pillows.
"Would you like some clothes?"
Yu Qing said, "Let's wait until I'm close to giving birth before we buy it; there are still several months to go."
Shu Yuhe said, "Okay, just send me a message if you need anything and I'll deliver it to your door. You need to buy the clothes in advance and make sure they're washed and dried."
Yu Qing wrote everything down, checked all the items, paid the money, left his address, and left.
Shu Yuhe watched Yu Qing's retreating figure, her eyes filled with envy.
"How lucky his wife must be! Such a young husband, and so willing to spend money on him."
Lin Qiao sighed and said, "Yes, my husband is so stingy. He says that children grow up quickly and we can make do with what we have. He can't bear to buy this or that."
Shu Yuhe gave a wry smile: "My boyfriend is even more..."
Shu Yuhe was too embarrassed to talk about her situation.
I organized the goods for Yu Qing and placed an order with the courier.
After finishing all that, it was time for Shu Yuhe to leave work.
Seeing that the deliveryman had already taken the package, Shu Yuhe sent a message to Yu Qing: "Dear customer, your order has been shipped and should be delivered to your home in about two hours."
Yu Qing quickly replied to her message: "Okay."
Shu Yuhe took her things, said goodbye to her colleagues, and left.
I get off work at 6 PM, go to the supermarket to buy groceries, and get home at 7 PM.
I didn't even rest when I got home before heading straight into the kitchen to start cooking.
Meanwhile, her boyfriend was playing video games in the study, chatting happily with his teammates via voice chat.
Shu Yuhe, with a sullen face, numbly washed vegetables and cooked.
She felt so tired and didn't know when this kind of life would end.
Will it be like this forever?
Does she really have to live this kind of life?
If the next few decades are like today.
That's really terrifying.
Shu Yuhe turned and walked out of the kitchen, looking at the living room that she had tidied up in the morning, which was now a mess again.
Pants and socks were lying on the sofa.
There was a trash can right next to the coffee table, but the fruit peels were thrown on the coffee table.
An unnamed fire rose in Shu Yuhe's heart.
She went to the study and saw her boyfriend video chatting with someone else.
The woman in the video looks only seventeen or eighteen years old.
Wearing a tank top, she covered her mouth and smiled shyly.
"How many boyfriends has this pretty girl had?" Chen Lai teased with a grin. "Have you slept with any of your boyfriends?"
Shu Yuhe was furious and strode over to kick his chair.
"What are you doing?!"
Xu Laixin was startled. He turned around to look at her, took off his headset, and stood up angrily, yelling, "Are you crazy?"
"Are you out of your mind? All you do is play games all day long. I'm your girlfriend, not your mother. Don't you know how to cook at home? You have to wait for me to come back and cook for you!" Shu Yuhe angrily ripped the keyboard off and threw it on the ground.
"What? Now you think I'm poor and useless? You finally don't like me anymore, huh?" Xu Laixin showed no remorse and instead angrily shoved Shu Yuhe.
He picked up the keyboard and placed it on the table, grumbling.
Shu Yuhe staggered a few steps, looking at the man in front of her with disappointment.
They dated for four years in college and planned to get married after graduation. However, after graduation, Xu Laixin encountered setbacks everywhere in his job search and could never find a good job.
Shu Yuhe, on the other hand, devoted herself wholeheartedly to working in the clothing store, working her way up from a junior shop assistant to a team leader.
Xu Laixin initially said that he would work hard to create their little family.
After working hard for a while, I was unrealistic and always complained that this job was not good enough or that job paid too little.
He said he needed to take a break, but ended up playing video games at home for a year and a half.
This past year and a half has long since worn away all of Shu Yuhe's love.
She wanted to break up, but after being together for so long, she couldn't bear to.
Shu Yuhe felt utterly exhausted at that moment.
She didn't want to argue, so she turned and left the study, returning to the kitchen to continue cooking.
Tears, however, involuntarily streamed down my face.
More than ten minutes passed.
Xu Laixin came to the kitchen, stood to the side, and whispered, "Do you need my help?"
Shu Yuhe said angrily, "No."
"Oh." Xu Laixin stood there for a moment, then turned and left.
Before long, Shu Yuhe heard Xu Laixin chatting and laughing with the people in the game in the study.
Shu Yuhe's hand holding the kitchen knife was trembling.
A seductive voice suddenly appeared in my ear: "Do you want to kill him?"
Shu Yuhe paused for a moment, then turned to look around.
Is there something wrong with her ears?
How could she have heard someone say such a thing?
She didn't want to kill anyone; killing is illegal. What was she thinking?
Shu Yuhe shook her head and continued cooking.
It was almost eight o'clock by the time the meal was ready.
Shu Yuhe didn't call Xu Laixin either; she finished eating and went to take a shower.
Xu Laixin was starving, so he went out to eat by himself.
After finishing his meal, he didn't wash the dishes and went back to playing video games.
Shu Yuhe came out of the shower and stood there, looking at the bowls and chopsticks on the table.
She's almost twenty-nine years old.
Her family is urging her to get married and have a baby soon.
Otherwise, she'll be an old maid.
But given her current situation, she doesn't dare to even mention the word "marriage."
The thought of couples buying baby products in stores always stung her with their sweetness.
Her requirements were very simple: she just hoped that her partner could have a stable income so that they could build a small family together.
That's all, why can't God grant it?
Shu Yuhe turned and went back to her room without tidying up the table.
She got into bed, and the moment she lay down, she saw a black ghostly figure appear on the ceiling.
"Ah!" Shu Yuhe screamed in fright, "Alai, Alai!"
Shu Yuhe hid under the covers.
"Alai!"
There was no response.
Xu Laixin, who was in the study, heard it but didn't pay attention; he was playing a raid with his teammates.
Positive stimulus.
Shu Yuhe hid under the covers in fear, thinking she was about to be killed by a ghost.
She trembled under the covers for a long time, but there was no sound outside, and her boyfriend didn't come to see her.
She mustered her courage and got out of bed, only to find the room empty.
Was she hallucinating?
Could it be under the bed?
Shu Yuhe dared not look, and quickly got up and ran to the study.
Holding Xu Laixin's hand, she said, "Come to the room quickly, it looks like there's a ghost."
"Huh? What's going on? Don't mess with me, I'm raiding."
Xu Laixin shook off Shu Yuhe's hand, not even glancing at her; his eyes were glued to the computer screen.
Shu Yuhe was almost in tears. "I really saw a ghost! I suspect it's hiding under the bed. Go take a look! Go! Stop playing around, go!"
Shu Yuhe's voice reached the ranks.
Xu Laixin's teammates were all trying to persuade him.
"You can hang up now. Go check on your sister-in-law, just in case there's something really wrong."
"Yeah, this is no joke. If your sister-in-law is lying to you, you'll fuck her to death tonight, hahaha."
Xu Laixin joked with his teammates, "Okay, okay, I'll go take a look."
He took off his headphones, got up, and walked towards his room.
Shu Yuhe followed behind him.
As soon as Xu Laixin entered the room, he squatted down to look under the bed.
There's nothing there. You did this on purpose, didn't you?
"Are there really no black ghosts?" Shu Yuhe asked.
"No, there are only your slippers. See for yourself." Xu Laixin pulled Shu Yuhe down.
Shu Yuhe was too scared to look, but when she glanced at it, there was really nothing there.
"I told you there wasn't anything wrong. Don't scare yourself. You must be exhausted. Go to sleep early. I'll come over after I finish the raid." Xu Laixin gave Shu Yuhe a perfunctory hug and immediately ran back to continue playing the game.
Shu Yuhe looked under the bed and around, and there really were no ghosts.
Was she really hallucinating just now?
Shu Yuhe didn't dare to think too much, so she went to bed and pulled the blanket over her head.
Out of sight, out of mind.
That night, Shu Yuhe had a nightmare.
She dreamt that someone was talking to her. She couldn't see if the person was human or a ghost, but she could hear the person repeatedly saying: "You want to kill him, don't you? You want to kill him, don't you?"
Shu Yuhe tried to wake up, but she couldn't. Later, the ghost disappeared, and she fell back into a deep sleep.
When Shu Yuhe woke up the next day, she was so tired that it looked like she had been beaten the night before.
My whole body aches and pains.
＊
Yu Qing didn't open the package until the next day.
Gu Tuo admired these little gadgets with him.
Their apartment was small, and the living room was taken up by a crib and a stroller.
"Qingqing, you bought them way too fast!"
"I couldn't resist when I saw it," Yu Qing said. "Let's buy it and air it in the sun to kill any germs."
"That's right, let's buy some disinfectant to spray it on."
"Yes, to avoid any bacteria infecting my baby."
Gu Tuo smiled and came over to touch his belly, and Yu Qing cooperated by sticking his belly out so that he could touch it.
Gu Tuo said, "Baby is so lucky, having a bed and a car even before being born."
Yu Qing said, "There are also toys."
Gu Tuo patted Yu Qing and then patted himself.
"Your belly is quite fleshy, while mine is still just skin."
Gu Tuo lifted his clothes, revealing a thin layer of white skin on his belly.
Yu Qing also lifted his clothes to take a look.
"Maybe I've been eating too much lately and gained weight?"
He's been eating five or six meals a day lately, snacking constantly, and every meal consists of meat.
It's hard not to gain weight.
“Pregnant men need to eat more, the baby needs nutrition,” Gu Tuo suggested. “You should drink some milk every day and take some calcium supplements. I’ve heard that pregnant women are prone to calcium deficiency, you must be too.”
"Okay... then I'll go online and buy some calcium tablets and milk!" Yu Qing said, and immediately started buying.
However, he didn't know which calcium supplement was good, so he thought of Shu Yuhe, who makes maternal and infant products and might know something about it.
Yu Qing found Shu Yuhe's WeChat and sent her a message asking, "Hello, I'd like to buy a calcium supplement suitable for pregnant women. Do you have any recommendations? Do you sell them in your store?"
Shu Yuhe didn't reply to the message in time, so Yu Qing curiously opened her WeChat Moments.
"I think I saw a ghost last night, it was so scary, I'm going to burn incense and pray for peace."
Shu Yuhe replied at this time: "There are a few good brands. I don't sell them in my shop, but you can buy them tonight. They are brands that some of my pregnant customers often eat."
Shu Yuhe sent him several links.
Yu Qing replied, "Thank you."
Shu Yuhe: "You're welcome. When is your wife due? Besides calcium supplements, you can also take folic acid. The doctor should have given you some advice."
Yu Qing replied, "She's only been pregnant for about two months."
Shu Yuhe: "Wow, you've already bought baby supplies so quickly, what a good dad! You must be really looking forward to the baby's birth. The baby is so lucky."
Yu Qinghui: "Yes, I'm really looking forward to them."
——
Shu Yuhe looked at the message and felt very envious.
She also really wants to have a baby, because only her own baby will naturally love her.
"Break up with him! What's the point of being with a man like that? He doesn't love you at all; he's just using you. You're just a free babysitter!"
"Who?" Shu Yuhe looked up and glanced around.
Who is speaking?
