Paying the public grain, a euphemism for that matter between husband and wife.
An Hao’s face flushed even more, and she turned her head to glance at her in-laws, who showed no unusual expressions, and then she stealthily breathed a sigh of relief.
This guy is getting bolder and doesn’t fear being overheard, which would be so embarrassing.
To avoid worrying Qin Jian, An Hao shared only the good news and not the worries, telling him about the situation at school. Then, the couple exchanged a few words of cherishing each other before hanging up the phone.
It was only then that Zhang Yun realized.
Should she have given the young couple some space for sweetness? They were sitting here and hadn’t even spoken their private words.
After staying at home for a day, she went to the hospital early the next morning, urged on by Zhang Yun.
It wasn’t because of gastritis, but another matter.
Yesterday, mother-in-law Zhang Yun asked her when her last menstrual period was, and An Hao suddenly remembered that it indeed had been over a month.
Zhang Yun then became somewhat anxious, considering that An Hao had gastritis the day before and had received an IV; if she were pregnant, whether or not the child could be kept was an issue.
An Hao thought about it and indeed felt a cold sweat at the possibility.
Though she was confident that she and Qin Jian hadn’t been intimate during the ’dangerous period,’ the absence of her period was enough to make her anxious.
You see, her menstrual cycle was very regular, never a day off.
Now, having missed it for a month and a half, could it be that she was actually pregnant...?
An Hao was also afraid. She dreaded the thought of being pregnant. If that was the case, could the child still be kept?
She regretted that when the doctor prescribed medicine, she should have explained her situation, that she was already married.
Perhaps, vomiting could also be a symptom of pregnancy.
But now it was too late; the medicine had already been taken.
Zhang Yun comforted her not to be afraid and took her to the hospital early that morning for another examination, and when they got the test results, An Hao breathed a sigh of relief.
Thankfully, her recent stress led to her menstrual irregularity, and she wasn’t pregnant.
After the examination was complete, Zhang Yun took the results home, while An Hao went back to school alone.
As soon as she entered the school gates, she sensed an unusual atmosphere. It wasn’t that she was self-conceited, but she really felt that everyone’s eyes were on her.
Was it her attire that was improper?
An Hao looked down and thoroughly checked herself, finding nothing amiss. Why did she feel like everyone seemed to be passing judgment on her?
Very puzzled, An Hao carried this uncertainty back to her dormitory.
As she approached the door, she could hear that it was very lively inside.
She smiled and pushed the door open: "Wow, you guys seem to be having a great time chatting without me here these past two days."
At her words, the dormitory suddenly went quiet as if time had frozen.
"What’s with you guys? You look like you’ve seen a ghost seeing me. Am I that scary?" An Hao said while walking inside.
Seeing An Hao’s obliviousness, Zhang Juan and Lei Linxuan exchanged glances before saying, "An Hao, did you hear any rumors as you came from the campus?"
"Rumors?" An Hao was perplexed, "What rumors?"
Xu Yinuo kept her head down, intently reading a book, not even glancing up.
Guan Kexin pursed her lips, looking at her with the expression as if she had swallowed a fly.
"Is it about me?" An Hao asked in surprise, looking at Zhang Juan.
"Mhm," Zhang Juan nodded, "It’s quite unpleasant. Haven’t you heard a single word about it?"
Just as they were talking, the door to the dormitory was fiercely kicked open with a bang.
