Tang Xu poured a bowl of soup and added two sleeping pills.
Leaning on his cane, he hobbled upstairs with difficulty, carefully protecting the bowl of soup from spilling even a drop.
Seeing him safely upstairs, those below breathed a collective sigh of relief.
As he approached Tang Xiaomin's door, he couldn't help but feel nervous.
Knock, knock, knock!!!
"Xiaomin, have some soup before you sleep. This soup is very nourishing."
About a minute later, the door opened. Tang Xiaomin had changed into a white nightgown.
She took the bowl from Tang Xu and was about to drink it without thinking.
"Wait."
The three people downstairs tensed up, cursing inwardly.
She was about to drink it, why are you stopping her, just causing trouble!
Tang Xu's next words made their blood pressure soar.
"Aren't you afraid I put something in the soup?" Tang Xu said.
"After all, I've done such things before. You've let your guard down now, you're willing to trust me, aren't you?"
...
What kind of airhead would do something so stupid, bringing up what they've done before?
Those downstairs had lost all hope and were even prepared for Tang Xu to be kicked downstairs.
Tang Xiaomin paused, looking at the bowl of soup in her hand. It was still warm. She seemed lost in thought.
"It doesn't matter."
As soon as she finished speaking, she drank it all in one gulp and handed the bowl back to Tang Xu.
She gently closed the door, and there was no more movement.
This abnormal behavior made her seem like a completely different person, someone easy to get along with.
Tang Xu returned downstairs, but he was not happy that Tang Xiaomin had let her guard down.
On the contrary, his expression became grave.
"If I'm not mistaken, she has mild depression."
"What! How could this be?"
Everyone was shocked. Tang Xiaomin, with her fiery temper, would get depression, something only psychologically fragile people suffered from.
Zhang Meiyu said with a solemn expression, "I've been with her all this time, and I've had a vague feeling that something life-threatening has happened to Yan Jue. Could something really have happened?" Su Dan Fiction Network.
"No matter what happens to Yan Jue, now that Xiaomin is depressed, we need to pay more attention to her," Tang Yu said.
Tang Ye immediately had an idea.
"I think she likes spending time with her friends from school. I'll talk to her school friends later."
After discussing it, the family decided to each do their part in taking care of Tang Xiaomin.
The next day, Tang Xiaomin returned to school for classes.
She was still absent-minded, sleeping soundly on her desk early in the morning.
When she went to the cafeteria for lunch, her stomach suddenly churned. She couldn't help but run to the restroom to vomit, which finally relieved her.
Not far behind her, a mobile phone secretly recorded her vomiting.
Tang Xiaomin, who was washing her face with water, did not notice.
Looking at the video on her phone, Zhang Guo'er smirked triumphantly.
"Tang Xiaomin, I finally caught you. This time, I'll ruin your reputation and kick you out of this school."
...
Back in the cafeteria, sitting with Qian Lili and the others, Tang Xiaomin only drank a glass of water.
When someone has something on their mind, they lose their appetite.
"Xiaomin, are you sick? Your condition has been very bad lately."
"Yes, you're pale and out of sorts. Why don't we go to the doctor with you?"
Facing everyone's concern, Tang Xiaomin just shook her head.
"I'm fine."
"You say you're fine, but you can't even eat recently, and you've lost weight. You're definitely sick."
"Since we don't have classes this afternoon, I'll go with you to see a doctor," Lin Keke said.
"I'm really fine, you're overthinking it."
"No, we won't know if you're fine until you see a doctor. I'm telling you, many people don't pay attention to illness at first, and by the time it's serious, it's too late. Early detection, early treatment, you'll be fine if you listen to me."
Unable to resist Lin Keke's persistence, Tang Xiaomin was enthusiastically taken to the hospital by her.
"Xiaomin, wait here. I'll go register."
The registration staff member asked professionally, "Which department?"
Which department?
Lin Keke pondered for a long time, unable to think of which department to register for.
After much thought, she hesitantly said, "I want to get a check-up. She's just not looking well, has no appetite, and sleeps a lot."
The registration staff member, having seen many girls who were secretive like this, understood.
"Fifth floor, turn left. Here is your number. Keep it safe."
Lin Keke, being careless, didn't look closely and took Tang Xiaomin to the fifth floor.
When she saw the words "Obstetrics and Gynecology" in large letters, she was completely stunned.
She took out the registration slip and checked it repeatedly. It was correct, it was Obstetrics and Gynecology.
This...
The nurse at the door said coldly, "Here for Obstetrics and Gynecology, right?"
"Our symptoms are loss of appetite, drowsiness, and poor mental state. Shouldn't this be looked at by OB/GYN? There must be a mistake. I'll re-register."
Lin Keke said, pulling Tang Xiaomin to leave.
"Oh, wait." The nurse stopped them.
"The symptoms you described can also be seen in Obstetrics and Gynecology. Go in and let the doctor take a look, then have an examination."
"Room three is empty, hurry inside."
Urged by the nurse, Tang Xiaomin was thus sent into the consultation room.
An elderly female doctor patiently asked Tang Xiaomin about her physical condition.
She pushed her glasses up her nose and looked at Tang Xiaomin with a solemn expression.
"Let's do an examination first. Based on your description, you might be pregnant."
...
Tang Xiaomin's expression froze, utterly speechless.
For the first time since Yan Jue disappeared, she couldn't help but curl her lips into a cold smile.
"How could I be pregnant? Are you joking?"
The old doctor smiled confidently.
"Nine out of ten girls who come to me say they couldn't possibly be pregnant. After the examination, eight out of ten girls are pregnant."
"You young people nowadays really don't take care of your bodies."
The old doctor wrote Tang Xiaomin a blood test and an ultrasound order, telling her to pay for the examinations before sending her out of the consultation room.
Tang Xiaomin came out with the slips, and Lin Keke immediately stepped forward to ask.
"How is it? What did the doctor say?"
Tang Xiaomin helplessly spread out the two slips.
"She insists I'm pregnant and wants me to get checked. Heh..."
She knew whether she was pregnant or not, didn't she?
She had studied biology and knew how babies were made. She wasn't so foolish as to not realize she was pregnant.
Lin Keke, standing beside her, dropped her jaw and looked at Tang Xiaomin's belly.
"You... you... you..."
She stuttered for a long time, becoming a stammerer on the spot.
"You... you... you..."
"Let's go."
Tang Xiaomin pulled Lin Keke to pay. Since they were already here, and she now had doubts,
She might as well get an abdominal ultrasound to see what was wrong with her stomach, why she was suddenly vomiting.
They paid and queued.
Blood was drawn, and the ultrasound was done.
The results would only be available the next day.
The next day, as Tang Xiaomin walked into the school, she heard people around her pointing and whispering.
"Tang Xiaomin is pregnant, this is too much!"
