Time flies quickly, and before she knew it, Xiao Li had already been interning in the emergency department for half a month. She had gradually gotten used to the life of switching between day and night shifts at any time.
In the morning, just as Xiao Li was about to brush her teeth, she suddenly started to gag...
Thinking about the dates, her period was already three days late this month, which was usually very punctual. This morning she was gagging again, so Xiao Li had a pretty good idea of what was going on.
However, Xiao Li didn't tell Qin Xiao. She planned to take some time to go back to the hospital for a urine test to confirm it first.
Qin Xiao had no schedule today, but he had classes, so after dropping Xiao Li off at the hospital, he went to school for his lessons.
Doctor Yang was on an early shift today, only needing to work the morning shift. Once the afternoon staff came for the handover, Doctor Yang could leave, and Xiao Li could leave too to get the urine test done.
The result came out just as Xiao Li had suspected. Knowing that she was really pregnant, Xiao Li felt joyful inside, without a hint of the confusion or anxiety she had imagined.
Doctor Qiu from the department of pathology did the test for Xiao Li. Seeing the result, she smiled and said to Xiao Li, "Congratulations, you're going to be a mom. If Qin Xiao hears about this, he'll surely be thrilled too."
Xiao Li nodded, "Thank you for working overtime to do the test. I haven't told Qin Xiao the good news yet. I'll tell him in a bit."
Doctor Qiu laughed, "Then hurry and go share the happy news! I'll get back to work for now."
Xiao Li nodded, "You go ahead. I'll leave first."
After saying that, Xiao Li left.
Walking out of the department of pathology, Xiao Li took out her phone, intending to make a call. But thinking that Qin Xiao might be in class, she didn't call him and sent a message over WeChat instead...
After sending the WeChat message, Xiao Li planned to go home first. On the way, she ran into Feng Qing. Seeing Xiao Li, Feng Qing quickly asked, "Xiao LiLi, what brings you here?
Are you here to pick up a patient's document?"
Xiao Li shook her head, "No, I came to do some tests myself..."
Feng Qing quickly and nervously asked, "What kind of tests? Are you feeling unwell?"
Xiao Li laughed, "I'm not unwell, I'm pregnant."
Upon hearing this, Feng Qing's mouth formed an O shape, "What? Pregnant?"
Out of surprise, Feng Qing's voice was a bit loud, so Xiao Li quickly covered her mouth, "Do you need to be so shocked about my pregnancy?
I'm a married woman now, it's normal to be pregnant!
You shouted so loud that everyone is looking at us..."
Feng Qing brushed Xiao Li's hand away, "Yes, yes, I just lost my composure for a moment.
I mainly forgot you are already married. You're the youngest in our dormitory, and in our minds, you're still like a little sister.
But while we're all still single, our little sister is already pregnant.
It makes sense for me to be surprised!
By the way, this explosive news needs to be quickly told to Wenjing, hey... Does Zhihan know about this?"
Xiao Li shook her head, "I just came out of the department of pathology, you're the first to know."
Upon hearing this, Feng Qing's eyes lit up, editing a message on her phone as she spoke, "Wow, I'm the first to know! Your hubby doesn't even know yet!"
Xiao Li shook her head, "Before I ran into you, I sent him a WeChat..."
Feng Qing nodded, "Your hubby is one of the people involved, so it's only right he knows first. Besides him, I'm the first to know. I'm thrilled.
I insist on being the godmother of your child once it's born.
If your hubby disagrees, you have to persuade him!"
As Feng Qing was saying this, a phone rang, and at the same time, Xiao Li's phone also rang. It was Dai Zihan who sent a message in the group chat, and the two of them connected. Dai Zihan's excited voice came through...
"Ah... ah... ah! Xiao LiLi, is what the mad woman said true?
Are you really pregnant?
I'm with you in the department every day, and I didn't know. But the mad woman found out first."
Xiao Li laughed, "It's true, I just did a urine test, and as soon as I left the pathology department, I ran into the mad woman, so she found out first."
Xiao Wenjing didn't care much about who knew first; all she cared about was Xiao Li's belly, "Xiao LiLi, you're really something else.
Getting married before graduation, and now getting pregnant during your internship. What about your internship now that you're pregnant?"
Xiao Li laughed, "I'll continue the internship! I don't feel that there's anything wrong with my body."
Xiao Li was chatting happily with her good friends, while on the other side, Qin Xiao was stunned for a good while.
Just when Xiao Li sent the WeChat message, it happened to be after his class when he walked out of the classroom. He received Xiao Li's message and was stunned right then and there.
He was blocking the classroom doorway, and the students inside had just seen Professor Qin leave, planning to get up and go too, but suddenly Qin Xiao stood frozen at the door.
They thought Professor Qin had something else to say, so they didn't dare to leave.
Qin Xiao stood still until his heartbeat slowed down a bit, and the blood flow to his hands and feet returned to normal. Then he quickly lifted his feet and walked out.
As soon as he walked out of the classroom door, he was already dialing Xiao Li on the phone.
Xiao Li was still chatting with Dai Zihan when a call interrupted...
Standing next to her, Feng Qing noticed who was calling and laughed while explaining to Dai Zihan and the others why Xiao Li was suddenly offline. Then she hung up the group chat.
Xiao Li answered the phone, and before she could speak, Qin Xiao's voice came through, "Where are you?"
Xiao Li laughed, "Still at the hospital, just came out of the department of pathology..."
Qin Xiao, "Wait there for me, I'm coming over right now."
Xiao Li laughed, "I don't have any shifts this afternoon, waiting at the hospital would be boring, I'll just go home and wait for you."
Qin Xiao, "Alright, be careful."
Xiao Li, "Okay."
After hanging up the phone, Xiao Li noticed Feng Qing smiling and watching her from the side.
Feng Qing, "Xiao LiLi, what do you think, how fast will your hubby drive over here?"
Xiao Li rolled her eyes, "My hubby is a law-abiding citizen, he wouldn't speed.
You've been chatting with me for so long, isn't your department busy?"
When Feng Qing heard this, she slapped her forehead and exclaimed, "Oh no, oh no... I was supposed to pick up equipment, Doctor Chen is waiting for it...
Xiao LiLi, take care, move slowly, I'm off..."
With that, she ran off in a whirlwind.
Xiao Li watched Feng Qing's departing figure, smiled lightly, then turned and walked downstairs, leaving the hospital to head back to the neighborhood.
Xiao Li had just gotten home, poured herself a glass of water, when Qin Xiao arrived home too.
When she heard the door open, Xiao Li thought she had heard wrong, but then she saw Qin Xiao open the door and come in.
Since when did home become so close to school?
Xiao Li thought and said aloud, "Hubby, did you speed just now?"
