Chapter 6 - Pregnancy Test
Probably because the consequences were too unbearable to recall, Chu Ling avoided Han Gu for a while. But hiding and hiding and calming down, living under the same roof, no one can really avoid seeing each other. It's just that every so often, Chu Ling will consciously leave Han Gu a little private space and time.
This seems to have come to an end.
For a while, Chu Ling's body often felt uncomfortable. Sometimes he felt dizzy and nauseated when he was halfway through the work. At first, he didn't pay attention to it, until the two female staff next to him were gossiping about the boss and raising the mistress. In private affairs, he was startled by a terrible possibility.
After the last estrus period, he remembered that he had taken a strong contraceptive shot in the shortest time possible. Logically speaking, it should be impossible, but this thought made him panic inexplicably.
He kept the secret from Han Gu and went to the hospital for a physical examination one day after get off work.
The hospital was crowded after get off work, and it was past eight o'clock in the evening after Chu Ling's examination. With the advancement of modern technology, it took less than an hour from the inspection to the result. Chu Ling didn't have to stay and wait, but he just wanted to know the result as soon as possible.
He was standing in the hospital hall, looking nervous and absent-minded, and he didn't even notice that someone was gradually approaching him.
"Chu Ling?"
This familiar voice made Chu Ling seem to be in a dream. He almost subconsciously followed the source of the voice, "Lin Xuan..."
He did not expect to meet Lin Xuan by chance under such circumstances. He didn't even make any mental preparations, and his mind went blank.
"You..." Lin Xuan took a step forward with concern, but he seemed to remember the last time he accidentally threw off Chu Ling's hand, and suddenly stopped again. The two sides maintained a delicate awkward distance, "Your face is not very good, is it because you are not feeling well?"
After he finished speaking, he lowered his head to look at Chu Ling's medical consultation form, which was already a subconscious habitual action.
But Chu Ling was taken aback by his action, and wanted to withdraw his hand in a hurry, but the more anxious he became, the more flustered he became. Lin Xuan's feet. Lin Xuan bent over to pick it up, glanced up at random, and saw the words 'Obstetrics' printed on the paper, he was stunned, and looked at Chu Ling with astonishment.
They all knew what these two words meant.
Lin Xuan seemed to want to force himself to show a smile, but he couldn't. After a while, his expression twisted and he said in a blunt voice, "Congratulations."
"No, I..." Chu Ling clearly saw the hurt expression on his face. He was eager to explain something, but he knew that the explanation was useless at all. He just felt bitter and couldn't say anything at all. In the end, he just returned a very light smile, which looked more like a cry than a smile.
Lin Xuan could see it, but at this moment he didn't even have the right to comfort the other party.
The two stood silently for a while, relatively speechless.
After the two sides said goodbye, Chu Ling just kept staring at Lin Xuan's back. He remembered that when the two met in high school, both of them were still teenagers who had just entered adolescence. In just a few short years, Lin Xuan, an Alpha, suddenly grew taller and stronger, his eyebrows and eyes widened, his shoulders widened, and his strength also changed. He kept watching Lin Xuan come over like this, but he didn't expect to see him leave like this one day.
When he was in a trance, the nurse at the front desk called his number several times, but he didn't hear it at all. It was the person around him who was waiting to see a doctor who reminded him, and he came back to his senses.
It turned out that he was not pregnant.
This should have been good news for him, but his heart became even heavier.
In fact, he can explain it clearly as long as he makes a phone call to Lin Xuan, but what if he does. At this time, he clearly realized that they could never go back to the past.
The encounter with Lin Xuan made his determination, which he finally made, easily shaken again.
However, tonight's accident was not the only one. When Chu Ling returned home, he realized that Han Gu, who always returned late, actually left work early today. Not only that, but there is also a dinner on the table that I bought by the way. But it is now ten o'clock in the evening, which shows that Han Gu has been waiting for him for a long time.
Chu Ling was almost stunned at the door on the spot, unable to even speak a word. He clearly didn't do anything wrong, but he felt a sense of guilt inexplicably. The last time I only had a brief contact with Lin Xuan, Han Gu noticed the breath left by Lin Xuan. Although they didn't touch at all this time, he wasn't sure whether Han Gu could detect it.
"Where did you go?"
After struggling for a while, Chu Ling answered truthfully, "The hospital."
"Are you feeling unwell?"
"Um."
Han Gu didn't ask him why he went to the doctor, and he didn't even get angry because of his late return. He just said, "Is there something wrong?"
"No."
"Take care of yourself."
Chu Ling nodded, as well-behaved as a primary school student who was afraid of punishment.
Han Gu looked at him and sighed, "You don't have to be so afraid of me. I will do what I said."
Chu Ling didn't know what he was talking about, so he didn't say anything.
Han Gu said again: "If you don't want children, I won't force you."
Chu Ling understood it all at once, and said in surprise, "You know that I didn't..." He really couldn't say the word pregnancy.
But Han Gu understood what he meant, nodded and said, "When the family doctor came last time, I have asked him to check."
Chu Ling had been living with Han Gu for a while, and there was some basic trust, but there was always an indescribable weirdness. Last time, he had vaguely felt a little strange, but this time it was more obvious, not having sex and not having children without his own will, these two behaviors are very contrary to Alpha's instinct. And Han Gu can make a promise so easily. If he just feels guilty about himself, he shouldn't be able to do it anyway.
Han Gu didn't know what Chu Ling was thinking, but thought that Chu Ling's silence was the default. Now that all the words were said, he didn't intend to stay in the living room, so he got up and went back to his room.
Chu Ling, on the other hand, was still standing there dumbfounded. Although he was puzzled by Han Gu's thoughts, he didn't ask.
