Hearing this, Shan Rong looked outside and saw that Mu Li didn't notice this side.
He walked behind Lin Qing and stared at her eyes in the mirror carefully.
After thinking for a long time, he said, "Lin Qing, I don't think you have an upset stomach."
"No?" Lin Qing asked in confusion.
Shan Rong nodded seriously, "Let me ask you, did you vomit more this morning and feel particularly uncomfortable?"
Lin Qing didn't understand how he knew that and responded.
"Did your period... come on time?" Shan Rong asked again.
When talking about these things, he didn't blush or feel nervous.
Lin Qing was a little embarrassed.
Shan Rong asked again, and Lin Qing thought about it and had some impression: "It seems not yet."
"Have you been feeling particularly sleepy lately?" Shan Rong lowered his voice and asked again.
Lin Qing was a little depressed: "...Yes."
Shan Rong stopped asking questions and held her shoulders to look in the mirror, asking her to stay calm: "From my judgment, Lin Qing, you are most likely pregnant."
"Eh?"
Lin Qing was stunned.
Or rather, she was stunned.
She is pregnant
Lin Qing's heart sank.
Shan Rong was a little puzzled when he saw that Lin Qing's expression was sad instead of happy.
"Lin Qing, this is a good thing." He raised his eyebrows and pushed her out of the bathroom while comforting her. "Mu Li likes children very much. You don't have to worry about this."
However, Lin Qing remained silent.
After a moment, she added, "It's not certain whether I'm pregnant or not, so please keep it a secret for me. It would be so embarrassing if I make a mistake."
Shan Rong thought it made sense and agreed.
But before going to the living room, Lin Qing added: "Also, you have to promise me that as long as I don't let you say it, you must not mention this matter. No matter what happens."
Shan Rong thought her words were strange and wanted to ask, but he saw Mu Li coming over, so he hurriedly responded: "Okay."
Lin Qing was relieved.
Mu Li couldn't help feeling jealous when he saw the two of them behaving so intimately.
After just a few words, he drove Shan Rong out of the house.
Shan Rong was innocently thrown at the door and looked at Mu Li: "Your jealousy has spread to me. How can I go to see my woman later?"
"Your woman?" Mu Li expressed disdain and closed the door.
Shan Rong glanced at Mu Li's home.
From now on, this place will probably become lively.
fair enough.
He let out a sigh.
Inside the house, Mu Li put on his coat and waved to Lin Qing: "Let's go."
Lin Qing was a little hesitant.
"Let's go another day, okay?"
Mu Li grabbed her wrist to prevent her from escaping: "Not good."
Coincidentally, Lin Qing felt like vomiting again and rushed into the bathroom.
Mu Li wanted to chase after him to find out what was going on, but then he received a phone call.
The caller ID showed Xu Yuan's name.
hang up.
Xu Yuan called again.
Hang up again.
She persisted.
After this, the phone rang five or six times. Mu Li was about to turn it off, but unfortunately someone answered it.
"Mu Li?" As soon as the call was connected, the person on the other end said, "Hurry up..."
Mu Li didn't hear clearly, so he walked to the window and asked, "What did you say?"
Xu Yuan seemed a little panicked, her voice trembling: "I'm at the Dongyuan Hotel, come here quickly... come and save me..."
His tone didn't sound like he was joking.
Mu Li frowned: "What happened?"
Xu Yuan was so flustered that he couldn't speak clearly and just kept repeating the same sentence.
"Come here quickly... I'm scared... I..." Gradually, Xu Yuan's voice became softer.
She is sobbing.
The soft sobbing sound made Mu Li's heart tighten.
He didn't think any more about it or ask any more questions. He just said, "I'll be there soon," took the car keys and left the house.
Even Lin Qing who was standing nearby didn't see it.
Lin Qing had been out of the bathroom for a while. When she saw Mu Li standing in front of the window and talking to someone, she didn't say anything.
I thought he would take me out after he hung up the phone, but I saw him leaving alone in a hurry.
Lin Qing was confused at first, and took two steps forward to call him: "Mu Li?"
However, before he finished his words, Mu Li was nowhere to be seen.
Lin Qing stood there in a daze.
Without thinking too much, she already knew who was on the other end of the phone.
It was her best friend, Xu Yuan, with whom she could talk about anything, a woman who was a hundred times better than her.
She shouldn't have expected anything anymore.
When Mu Li told her that he wanted to take her somewhere, she should have calmly refused.
That way it wouldn't be like it is now, it would just seem like asking for trouble.
She understands.
It wasn't Xu Yuan who stole her man.
Instead, she stood between Mu Li and Xu Yuan, preventing them from getting back together openly.
Thinking of this, Lin Qing smiled silently.
In fact, there were several times when she wanted to speak.
She wanted to tell Mu Li that she knew everything he had hidden.
But every time she looked at Mu Li, she couldn't say a word.
She was afraid that once she said it out loud, those cruel things would come true.
She was afraid of being overwhelmed by pain.
She simply dragged it out like this, thinking it would be easier this way.
She would rather be kept in the dark her whole life and pretend nothing happened than hear those words from his mouth with her own ears.
She loves this man.
And the cruelest thing was that no matter what decision she made, she would lose him forever.
The sound of Mu Li slamming the door echoed in the huge house for a long time.
Lin Qing calmed down and smiled.
She tidied her hair and put on some light makeup to make herself look more energetic.
Then, I went to a pharmacy near the community.
What Shan Rong said might not be accurate, but she couldn't take the risk.
After standing in silence for a while at the door of the pharmacy, Lin Qing seemed to muster up the courage and stepped in.
When she came out again, there was a pregnancy test stick in her bag.
While sitting on the toilet waiting, Lin Qing was so nervous that he could hardly breathe.
The pregnancy test stick was placed aside and the results would be out soon.
Lin Qing clasped his hands together, placed them against his lips, closed his eyes and prayed.
She couldn't tell what she was feeling, she just felt her head was a mess.
After waiting for an unknown amount of time, Lin Qing pulled himself together.
After taking a deep breath, she slowly moved her gaze to the pregnancy test stick.
The result of the pregnancy test stick showed one line.
Or maybe her emotions suddenly got out of control and tears welled up in her eyes.
I don’t know whether it was joy or a moment of loss.
At this moment, she felt her mind go blank.
Big tears rolled down her cheeks and dripped onto the cold marble countertop.
She is not pregnant.
Before Mu Li came back, Lin Qing threw the pregnancy test stick into the trash can downstairs along with a large bag of garbage.
She calmed herself down and went to the kitchen to make two servings of porridge and side dishes as usual.
An hour had passed since dinner was placed on the table, but Mu Li still hadn't returned home.
Lin Qing was not in a hurry and just sat at the table waiting.
She thought maybe she should talk to Mu Li.
Her fingers were a little cold, and she gently covered her lower abdomen.
Although it was only for a moment, she really thought that there was a young life growing there.
Sitting there, she waited and waited.
I was thinking about what should I say first when Mu Li comes back
However, Mu Li did not return home all night.
Lin Qing sat at the dining table all night.
The next morning, before leaving, Lin Qing did not leave a note, but only put a single portion of breakfast on the table.
As usual, today Mu Li would drink a cup of lemon tea, eat two slices of toast, and add a fried egg specially made by Lin Qing.
Lin Qing made the fried eggs look beautiful and served them on the table.
But then he thought that it would probably be cold by the time Mu Li ate it.
Or maybe he won't eat at all.
Thinking of this, she suddenly felt bitter in her heart.
Unbearable.
She pushed open the door and looked up at the slowly moving clock on the wall of the living room. It was exactly half past seven.
Lin Qing took one last look and walked out of the house dragging his suitcase.
She is going home.
That real home that is willing to take her in.
Mother Lin got up very early today.
On weekdays, she would not get up until almost seven o'clock to eat the breakfast made by Lin's father.
Today, I don’t know if there was something wrong with her biological clock, but she woke up before six o’clock.
Seeing that Father Lin was still sleeping soundly beside her, Mother Lin felt inexplicably panicked.
So she got up early and made breakfast for the first time.
At a quarter to seven, when Mr. Lin was about to cook, he saw that the table was already filled with a sumptuous breakfast.
"The sun rose from the west? You can actually get up early to cook." Father Lin exclaimed as he sat down with a satisfied smile.
When Mother Lin saw him reaching out to take a bite from the plate, she immediately frowned and hit him hard on the back of his hand with her chopsticks: "I've told you so many times, don't do that!"
Father Lin responded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, I will listen to my wife."
After breakfast, they went out for a walk together.
Mother Lin sighed as she walked down the street: "Our daughter hasn't been home for a long time, and I don't know how she's been doing lately."
Father Lin thought she was worrying too much: "I think Qingqing must be doing well. You don't have to worry about her here."
As they were talking, they suddenly saw a small, familiar figure not far ahead.
The figure was dragging a half-sized suitcase and was slowly walking towards this side. He accidentally looked up and saw the two old people in front of him, and his eyes were slightly red.
When Mother Lin recognized Lin Qing, she walked quickly forward, and Father Lin followed behind her.
Lin Qing raised a smile without any smile, and stopped walking: "Mom and Dad, can I come back and stay with you for a while?"
Mother Lin didn't ask any more questions. She just held Lin Qing's cold little hand with great heartache.
"Okay, okay, you can stay as long as you want!" Mother Lin said, and glanced at Father Lin with some worry.
Father Lin followed behind the mother and daughter, dragging Lin Qing's luggage in his hand.
Lin Qing looked a little tired, probably because he didn't sleep well the night before, and his eyes were a little swollen.
Mother Lin didn't ask any more questions. She just held Lin Qing's hand tightly.
When he got home, Lin's father was putting away his luggage, so Lin Qing went back to his room and fell asleep.
Before falling asleep, she vaguely heard Mother Lin's voice outside the door.
"Qingqing, what happened? You look so haggard."
Father Lin comforted him, "Maybe she's been busy with work recently. Let her sleep a little longer. When she wakes up later, don't ask too many questions."
Mother Lin frowned, and couldn't help but feel annoyed: "Tell me, could it be that Mu Li bullied her? Otherwise, she wouldn't have come back with her luggage so early in the morning."
Listening to these words, Lin Qing's eyelids became heavier and sleepiness came over him in an instant.
When she woke up again, it was already afternoon.
Apparently, she missed lunch.
As soon as she went out, she heard hurried footsteps coming from the living room. The sound became louder and louder until Mother Lin stopped in front of her.
Before Mother Lin could say anything, Lin Qing spoke first: "Mom, is there any more food?"
Lin Qing said this while rubbing his hungry stomach.
Mother Lin glared at her and said, "It's not easy for you to remember to eat."
As she said this, Mother Lin had already left and went to take out lunch from the refrigerator.
It was specially left for Lin Qing.
Lin Qing stuck out his tongue.
