The next morning, Ye Wan received a box of pregnancy tests. Gu Yunting took them all out and said, "Go pee."
Ye Wan: "!"
Did he have to be so blunt!
"I can do it myself," Ye Wan said quickly.
"Do you know how to use them?" Gu Yunting looked at her.
Ye Wan immediately shook her head. How could she know how to use them? This was the first time she had even seen one in person!
"Read the instructions," Gu Yunting didn't force her further and let her go to the bathroom herself.
Three minutes later, as Gu Yunting was getting impatient, Ye Wan walked out holding two pregnancy tests. She said, "One red line, negative. I'm not pregnant."
She didn't need to test to know the result, but since he wanted to see, she did it.
Gu Yunting took them and threw them into the trash. Logically, he didn't want her to get pregnant now, knowing it was bad for her health. But seeing the single line, he felt a pang of irritation.
"Wash up and then we'll have breakfast," Gu Yunting said before leaving.
After he left, Ye Wan patted her chest in relief. Fortunately, she was currently considered someone with difficulty conceiving. If Gu Yunting found out she had secretly had an IUD inserted behind his back, she wondered how he would react.
Ye Wan had a feeling he would be angry, even though the IUD could save them both a lot of trouble.
After breakfast, Ye Wan took a car to school.
Gu Yunting, however, was still feeling agitated. He called Jin Lan, who was still asleep. "Hello? Brother, what's up so early?"
"Why isn't Ye Wan pregnant?"
Jin Lan was jolted awake by the question. He scratched his disheveled short hair. "She has difficulty conceiving right now, it should be very hard for her to get pregnant."
"..." Gu Yunting became even more annoyed.
"Brother, what's wrong? Why are you suddenly asking this?" Jin Lan felt his mood was off.
"I feel like I've been working hard lately, and she's still not pregnant."
Jin Lan, "Have you been not using any contraception? That's not good. If Ye Wan gets pregnant again, her body definitely can't handle it. If her health deteriorates and she can't have children, you'll regret it."
"That's why I'm asking you, what should we do now?" Gu Yunting was also worried about this. That's why he wanted her to get regular check-ups, but that wasn't a long-term solution.
"The best method is actually male contraception. You have two options: one, get a vasectomy, or two, use a condom. It's up to you," Jin Lan explained professionally.
Gu Yunting: "..."
He hung up the phone and rubbed his temples in frustration.
Jin Lan's call came back. "Brother, don't even think about making Ye Wan get an IUD. That's bad for a girl's health, especially when she's already fragile. Having one will only make it worse."
"Shut up!" Gu Yunting hung up again, thinking Jin Lan was talking nonsense. If he wanted Ye Wan to use contraception, he would have done it long ago, he wouldn't have waited until now.
Gu Yunting looked outside, his gaze landing on a self-service adult store by the roadside.
...
Ever since Ning Xin had taken an interest in Jin Lan, she had been urging Ye Wan to arrange a meeting with him. Ye Wan thought it was a good idea to meet and get to know him better, so she asked Ning Xin how she wanted to arrange it.
"Let's go watch a movie together. The three of us. We can have dinner afterward. I've already bought the tickets," Ning Xin said, lifting her book, revealing three movie tickets tucked inside.
"Then I'll ask him if he's free," Ye Wan took out her phone and sent Jin Lan a message, telling him that she and her classmate wanted to ask him to watch a movie tonight.
