Lin Qingping and Gu Juncheng

Chapter 440 1 Pregnant Stupid for 3 Years

Gu Juncheng's face immediately turned ashen, and his voice began to tremble, "Lin Qingping, we can't just wait on the island like this. I'll carry you there, I'll hold you in my arms, okay?"

Lin Qingping simply shook her head.

If I were to go to the capital to see a doctor while pregnant, people would really laugh at me!

"Lin Qingping, now is not the time to be willful..." Gu Juncheng continued walking, intending to forcibly carry her off the island.

"Gu Juncheng, I don't want to go out, I want to..." Pregnant women can be quite unpredictable sometimes; they crave certain foods intensely, and she suddenly thought of one right now...

She looked up, her eyes burning with desire, "Gu Juncheng, I want to eat durian."

What is a durian?

But his mind was still more focused on taking her to the hospital. He agreed as he walked out, saying, "Okay, let's go to the hospital, and then we'll buy something to eat."

There are none for sale, absolutely none...

"You just lied to me about going to the hospital!" She punched his shoulder hard, but she was too weak to do anything right now.

While the two were arguing about whether or not to go to the hospital, Zhiyuan finally managed to drag Dr. Yang over.

Upon seeing Gu Juncheng, Dr. Yang couldn't help but smile wryly, "Dr. Gu, there really isn't any special way. Perhaps you could go to a local hospital and get some IV fluids..."

Hearing this, Gu Juncheng was on the verge of collapse.

There's no way to treat it? Did Dr. Yang say the same thing? Is it really that serious?

Dr. Yang continued, "Let's go to the obstetrics and gynecology department to see if they have any solutions. We really don't have any medication to stop morning sickness on this island."

Gu Juncheng was stunned.

What? Obstetrics and Gynecology? Morning sickness?

After a full half minute of stunned silence, Lin Qingping fussed in his arms, "I don't want to go! I don't want to go anywhere! Boating is so uncomfortable!"

He snapped out of his daze, looked down at Lin Qingping, and stammered, "Lin Qingping, you...you...you..."

After saying "you" for a long time, no further explanation came out.

Lin Qingping really didn't want to be tossed around on the sea by boat; wouldn't that make her throw up half her life?

"Lin Qingping..." He swallowed hard, his voice still trembling, "You... are experiencing morning sickness?"

Lin Qingping frowned and nodded. Otherwise, why would she be in such a bad mood?

"You mean..." His eyes were filled with incredulous excitement, "You're pregnant?"

"Yes!" Lin Qingping's big eyes looked even bigger after she lost weight, and they were deeply sunken into their sockets. "Didn't you know that?"

"I..." How could he know! He still thought she...

Suddenly, he couldn't say anything, and his hands were trembling as he held her.

"Dad Gu, you didn't drop Mom, did you?" Zhiyuan asked him worriedly.

Gu Juncheng didn't hear what he said at all, or if he did, he pretended not to hear it. His gaze was fixed on Lin Qingping. If Lin Qingping wasn't mistaken, she even thought that the glint in Gu Juncheng's eyes looked like tears.

But, really?

He's a tough guy...

She must have seen it wrong...

"What's wrong with you?" Lin Qingping nudged him. "Put me down, I'm not going to the local hospital."

She supported herself on his shoulders and slid down.

Besides, Dr. Yang is here too, and it wouldn't look good for him to hold her like this. Even though she's vomiting so badly, she can still walk.

"Lin Qingping..." He choked up slightly, not daring to use force against her, and slowly helped her down to the ground, then gently embraced her.

A very light hug, as if afraid that a little too much force would break her.

I wonder if this time it's just Lin Qingping's imagination again.

She felt it; when his chin brushed against her forehead, she felt a slight dampness.

"Come on, if you really don't want to leave the island, then let's go home and get some rest." He picked her up again, still very gently, as if afraid of crushing her lightness.

Lin Qingping actually wanted to say that she could walk by herself, but the words rolled on her tongue and she swallowed them back—because when she reached the light, she saw his reddened eyes and the wet residue on his eyelashes.

Looking at his father's retreating figure, Zhiyuan couldn't help but say, "My father, has he gone mad?"

Dr. Yang smiled meaningfully, "Well... there's a saying in my hometown, 'Pregnancy makes you stupid for three years.'"

"Three years?" Zhiyuan was worried. "What are we going to do? If I'm mentally impaired for three years, won't this family depend on me?"

I'm so worried! He's still in school and needs to board at school. What am I going to do?

Gu Juncheng had never known that pregnancy would be so painful for women. When his older sister was pregnant with Xiaomai, he had already left home. When he returned to visit his family, Xiaomai had already been born. He only heard his mother say that his sister was very lucky, as she could eat and sleep well and had gained a lot of weight.

But how come Lin Qingping has become so thin during her pregnancy?

It was Zhiyuan who told him that he would vomit after eating, as very little of it actually went into his stomach, and he didn't want to eat anything.

Gu Juncheng panicked. How could that be? How could a person survive without eating?

However, when asked, Lin Qingping just shook her head, saying she didn't want to eat this or that.

Gu Juncheng suddenly remembered what she had just said: durian.

What the hell is this?

He asked Zhiyuan, but Zhiyuan shook his head and said he didn't know.

"I'll go ask Chen Lei." Zhiyuan dashed off to Chen Lei's house.

Chen Lei didn't know either, but he had a knowledgeable political commissar named Chen in his family.

Political Commissar Chen didn't know that Lin Qingping wanted to eat this; he just assumed that Zhiyuan had heard the new name from somewhere and came to chat with Chen Lei. "I've heard of this. It grows in some Southeast Asian countries. It's a kind of fruit, but it doesn't have as much water as watermelons or grapes. It doesn't taste like fruit, and..."

Political Commissar Chen stopped talking.

Lei Sufeng was curious, "You make it sound like you've actually eaten it."

"I have eaten it, but only one bite, and then I didn't dare to eat any more," Political Commissar Chen waved his hand.

"Why?" Now, all three of them were curious.

Political Commissar Chen snorted, "You wouldn't believe the smell! It stank for half a mile, it stank like... you know..."

"What?" the three people exclaimed in unison.

"Think about it yourselves! It's like whatever's the smelliest thing in the world!"

This is something I don't even want to think about...

"Uncle Chen, then... then my mom wants to eat it, where can we buy it?" Zhiyuan's voice sounded weakly. Is it really that smelly?

Upon hearing this, Political Commissar Chen exclaimed, "Good heavens, I take back what I just said!"

"It's not that bad, but it has a certain smell that most people wouldn't like," Political Commissar Chen said after thinking for a moment. "If you want to buy it, try to find a way."

Upon hearing this, Lei Sufeng became very curious. "You've made me want to eat them! Why don't you buy a few more?"

Political Commissar Chen's head was buzzing. "You want to eat too..."

Can we not eat at home?

Zhiyuan was happy to go back after receiving Uncle Chen's promise, but Lei Sufeng handed him a jar of something. "Zhiyuan, take this to your mother. I used to vomit a lot, but this was the only thing that stopped me from vomiting. Add some sugar and mix it with water before eating."

Lei Sufeng wrote down the instructions on a piece of paper and handed it to Zhiyuan.
