Liang Zhirou doesn't care because irregular periods are a normal part of a woman's life.
There aren't many girls with particularly regular menstrual cycles to begin with.
This thing can be delayed because of catching a cold, getting sick, taking various medicines... or even because of being in a good or bad mood.
So she didn't take it to heart that her period was a few days late, and she didn't overthink it.
But Chen Lu is different.
He really has something to hide.
After all, he was the one who said we shouldn't use bubble gum on our wedding night.
His heart was pounding, and his voice trembled slightly, "Zhirou, you wouldn't... be pregnant, would you?"
"ah?"
Liang Zhirou suddenly stopped cooking and turned around to look at him in astonishment.
She then remembered what happened on her wedding day, and suddenly became very nervous.
Chen Lu turned off the stove, pulled the girl to sit down on the sofa, and said, "It's okay, don't be so nervous. This is just a guess."
Unlike the imperial physicians in "The Legend of Zhen Huan," who would take your pulse, feel your wrist, and then suddenly say "Congratulations, Your Highness."
To be honest, he still doesn't know the principle behind it.
Seeing that Chen Lu's breathing was a little rapid, Liang Zhirou suddenly said, "You seem really nervous too..."
"Me? You're kidding, what do I have to be nervous about?"
In fact, Chen Lu's palms were already sweating.
But he couldn't show it, otherwise Liang Zhirou would only be more worried.
It's not advisable to guess the conclusion before looking for clues, because you might suddenly find that everything seems to be connected to your guess, leading to constant mental exhaustion.
Chen Lu didn't want to scare himself anymore, so he simply got up and said, "I'll go buy a test strip and I'll know once I take a test."
After saying that, he pushed open the door and went out.
Liang Zhirou was fidgeting with her fingers when she suddenly saw Chen Lu open the door and come in.
"What's wrong?" the girl asked curiously as she walked into the entryway.
"I forgot to change my slippers."
"Didn't you take your phone with you either?" Liang Zhirou glanced back at the coffee table.
Chen Lu patted his pockets. "...It really is."
The door was slowly closed again. Liang Zhirou noticed something on the shoe cabinet. After taking a closer look, she quickly opened the door and went out.
"You forgot your keys at home again!"
Twenty minutes later.
Chen Lu ran back, panting, carrying a white plastic bag in his hand, inside which several small plastic boxes could be vaguely seen.
Because he was worried that he wouldn't know how to use it and would waste it or that he wouldn't be able to measure it accurately, Chen Lu specially bought several boxes.
The two of them sat huddled together on the sofa, cluelessly studying the strange thing.
How do I use it?
Chen Lu was still a little out of breath. "Let me look at the instruction manual."
He considers himself a person with strong mental fortitude, but the impact of this incident was so great that he still hasn't recovered.
"But I haven't seen you gain weight at all..." Chen Lu wondered. "Can this be such a coincidence? We only didn't use it on our wedding night."
"And, and when we were at your house during the Lunar New Year..." Liang Zhirou said, her face turning red. It was she who took the initiative that time.
I will never drink alcohol again.
"Were you scared out of your wits? You had your period after that."
Chen Lu found it amusing; this simpleton was so shy, blushing so easily even after getting married. "You should be showing your baby bump by now," he said.
"That's right."
Liang Zhirou stopped talking and continued to bury herself in studying how to use the thing.
"If it really doesn't work, I'll help you with it."
"don't want!"
The girl resolutely refused and hurriedly ran to the restroom.
After an unknown amount of time, Liang Zhirou finally emerged from the restroom with a small plastic stick in her hand.
Chen Lu felt like he had been waiting for years.
Looking at the time, it seems like only a few minutes have passed.
"How is it?" he asked quickly.
"Take a look..."
Chen Lu took the test strip wrapped in a tissue from the girl and looked down at it carefully.
There is only one bar next to the letter C.
All test strips in the world should be the same. C is the control area. As long as the test strip is not damaged, there will be a red line. If there is no movement next to T, it means it is negative.
no problem.
Just as Chen Lu breathed a sigh of relief, he saw a faint red line suddenly appear next to the T, which gradually darkened until it was the same thickness as the dark line, only slightly lighter in color.
Now there are two paths.
Okay, okay, is this how you play it?
I've only been married for a month at most!
"This is..." A girl's soft voice sounded beside her.
"I've got it."
As soon as Chen Lu finished speaking, his right hand was suddenly gripped tightly by the girl.
"What should I do..." Liang Zhirou's eyes suddenly welled up with tears, and her slightly parted lips trembled.
Chen Lu, who had been nervous, couldn't help but laugh when he saw the girl's reaction. He took her soft little hand in his own and said, "We're married now, why are you in such a hurry?"
So what if he has it? Does he think he can just run away overnight?
What are we going to do if it's still there, you silly goose?
Liang Zhirou looked at him with red eyes, "But I... I'm afraid you don't want it that much. Your company is also in a busy period, and you'll have to juggle both. Just thinking about it makes me tired..."
Chen Lu was stunned.
Even after being together for so long, he was still always amazed by her simple and gentle nature.
"Do you want it?" he asked softly.
"I...I think so."
Liang Zhirou initially wanted to continue saying that it depended on Chen Lu's wishes, but after looking down at her flat stomach, she decided to tell the truth.
