When Gao Yi, Lei Dong Yi was already 1.9 meters tall, his build was very similar to Qin Shen before her.
That year, the school organized a field trip, and Ge'er ate something bad. On the bus home, she couldn't help but want to throw up.
Lei Dong Yi was also like him, suddenly taking off his jacket and laying it in front of her.
At that time, it had only been a month since Gao Yi started school, and Ge'er was not familiar with Lei Dong Yi; they had never spoken.
But because of that incident, Ge'er felt deeply grateful to him.
From then on, she began to pay attention to him and discovered many shining points about him, secretly falling in love with him…
Lost in thought for a moment, she forcefully pulled her thoughts back.
She silently mocked herself in her heart.
Zhan Jing Ge, Zhan Jing Ge, you are truly something. Your husband has just passed away, you are carrying his child, and yet you dare to reminisce about a third man in front of a second man. You are truly not well.
Seeing Qin Shen looking at her with concern, waiting for a reply, Ge'er spoke despite her sore throat.
"It's fine, I'm not sick. Don't worry unnecessarily."
Although Qin Shen was two years younger than her, unmarried, and without a girlfriend, he wasn't stupid.
In a second, he understood the other meaning in her words.
If she wasn't sick and was throwing up like this, it meant she was pregnant.
Although it was a great thing, and he already knew she had a boyfriend, Qin Shen couldn't help but feel a pang of disappointment when he truly learned she was pregnant.
He stared at her for two seconds, at a loss.
"I see. Congratulations. How far along are you?"
"Do you know if it's a boy or a girl? Your brother-in-law must be very happy. I didn't expect you to be married and have a child so young. I wish I had met you earlier."
His admiration for Ge'er was too obvious.
Although being admired by a young handsome guy was a happy thing, Ge'er couldn't be happy at such a time.
A man's confession was a burden to her.
Having lost her beloved, but with a child, she would probably put all her attention on the child in the future and no longer want to talk about romance with anyone.
Hearing this, she closed her eyes and laughed twice, then pushed herself up slowly with her arms.
"Young man, even if you had met me earlier, there would be nothing between us. I don't like men younger than me, so don't say such things in the future."
"If you really desire marriage and want children, find a girl your own age and pursue her properly."
After speaking, she stepped forward and patted Qin Shen on the shoulder.
"Thank you for your help, sorry for dirtying your trash can. I'll get you a new one another day. I'm leaving now."
Returning home, she opened the door, and a strong smell of chicken soup hit her. Ge'er's slightly recovered sense of smell was stimulated again, and she frowned in annoyance.
Hearing the sound of the door opening, Aunt Zhang, wearing an apron, ran out from the kitchen.
Seeing her changing her shoes, she warmly greeted her.
"You're back. The chicken soup has been simmering for over an hour and is ready. You must be hungry, I'll serve it for you right away."
"What do you want to eat as a staple? Noodles? Or rice?"
Ge'er listlessly changed into her slippers, handed her bag to Aunt Zhang, and walked towards her room.
"I won't eat, I'm not hungry, and I don't feel well. You can leave after you've prepared it. Tell me when I feel like eating. I'm going to sleep for a while."
Lately, she had been listless every day, a stark contrast to her once lively self.
Not only was Jiang Nan Fang worried, but Aunt Zhang, who had watched her grow up, was also concerned.
She couldn't help but follow behind her and persuade her, "How can you not eat? Your body is special now; if you don't get enough nutrition, the baby won't develop well."
"Be good, Ge'er. You have to eat at least a little. I didn't put any messy ingredients in it, and the soup is very light. You can skip the staple food, but at least drink some before you sleep."
The most common words Ge'er had heard recently were everyone advising her to relax, not to overthink, and to eat and drink well.
Although everyone meant well, after hearing it too many times, she inevitably felt tired, useless, annoyed, and resistant.
She was an adult now; did she not understand these simple truths?
She understood, but her mood just wouldn't improve, and she was powerless!
She was very annoyed and didn't want to hear anyone speak; she just wanted to be alone.
Just as she was about to turn around and tell Aunt Zhang to stop persuading her and to just leave, the doorbell rang.
Aunt Zhang hurried to the door, and on the monitor screen was Qin Shen's young face.
"It's me. Sister."
Sister?
Aunt Zhang turned to look at Ge'er.
Although Ge'er was annoyed, Qin Shen had just helped her, so she couldn't refuse him.
"Let him in."
The door opened, and Qin Shen walked in with a food container.
Aunt Zhang immediately recognized him as a live-in nanny and nodded at her, then explained to Ge'er.
"I saw you throwing up quite a bit earlier, so you probably don't have an appetite. I happened to make Cantonese dim sum for lunch, which is very light and made specifically for pregnant women at the request of fans. I brought some for you to try."
"If you like it, eat more. If not, just throw it away. I can't eat so much by myself anyway."
Aunt Zhang opened the lid of the food container and took a look.
As expected of a food blogger, the presentation of his creations was comparable to a five-star restaurant; so beautiful!
"Young man, you made this? It's amazing, Auntie doesn't know how to do this."
"Oh my, this doesn't look like food, it's practically a work of art! Ge'er, should I heat it up for you?"
Qin Shen smiled happily when he was praised, then acted spoiled towards Ge'er.
"It can be eaten after a brief heating in the microwave. Considering I brought it all the way here, Sister, please try it."
Ge'er knew that if she didn't eat dinner today, Aunt Zhang would nag endlessly, and she would have to report back to Jiang Nan Fang.
Rather than letting so many people worry and listen to pointless chatter, it was better to force herself to eat a few bites despite feeling nauseous.
Once everyone was dealt with, she would have peace.
She patiently walked back and sat on the sofa with Qin Shen.
Aunt Zhang went to heat the food, and Qin Shen looked around the room, not seeing Shang Jin Cheng. He couldn't help but ask her.
"Has brother-in-law not gotten off work yet? He must be working very hard. Does he often work overtime?"
Since they met today, he had asked about Shang Jin Cheng several times.
Ge'er didn't want to answer and glanced at him.
"Why are you so concerned about him? Are you secretly in love with him?"
Qin Shen was surprised that she could still joke with such a pale face, paused for two seconds, and then chuckled.
"You're still in the mood to joke? Then I'm relieved."
"Isn't it out of concern for you? I'm afraid that with you being pregnant and working hard, brother-in-law doesn't have time to dote on you, which is quite pitiful."
Ge'er felt that his words were quite "green tea," with a hint of subtle instigation.
But Qin Shen was good-looking, and if he were to be called "green tea," he would be a high-level, likable "green tea."
She wasn't annoyed with him and reached out to pinch his "green tea" face.
"My husband and I are very happy. I'm willing to have his child whether he accompanies me or not. You don't need to say such nonsense in the future."
"I will eat the food properly. Thank you for your kindness, but please don't send anything to my home anymore, lest my husband get jealous."
"Alright, you should go back. I'll introduce you to a girlfriend another day."
