Without a second thought, Gu Yusheng ran to the washroom. After pushing open the door, the first thing he saw was Qin Zhiâai, who was standing beside the wash basin.
Gu Yushengâs act of opening the door had been a bit violent, so it had disturbed Qin Zhiâai. She turned her head and looked to see who it was. However, just as she had turned halfway and hadnât seen him clearly yet, she felt her stomach rolling again, so she hurriedly turned back and vomited in the toilet.
After waiting at the door of the washroom for a while, Gu Yusheng suddenly went up to Qin Zhiâai. Holding her shoulder, he asked with worry and care, âWhatâs wrong with you? Are you not feeling well?â
After hearing Gu Yushengâs voice, Qin Zhiâai trembled a little. She wanted to tell Gu Yusheng âIâm okay,â but as she began speaking, she vomited again with a mouthful of bile.
Patting Qin Zhiâai softly on the back, Gu Yusheng took out his cell phone from his pocket and looked up Doctor Xiaâs number quickly.
Hearing the sound of him tapping on the cell phoneâs keyboard, Qin Zhiâai raised her head and glanced at him through the brightly lit and broad mirror in front of her. She guessed that he might have been calling doctor for her. Therefore, as she endured the nausea, she raised her hand and held the phone in Gu Yushengâs hands with all her effort. âDonât call the doctorâ¦â
Without being able to utter the following word, Qin Zhiâai lowered her head again and retched.
âYouâre vomiting so much. You have to be checked over by the doctor.â Gu Yusheng increased his force to take the phone back from Qin Zhiâai. When he was just preparing to call Doctor Xia, out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly saw she had another transparent medicine bottle in her other hand on the counter.
Gu Yusheng stopped his movments to make the phone call and asked her, âHave you already seen a doctor?â Then he reached out to take the bottle in Qin Zhiâaiâs hand.
âIs this the medicine the doctor prescribed for you? Did the doctor tell you what was wrong with you? Why didnât you tell me that you didnât feel wellâ¦â Gu Yusheng suddenly stopped his words, because he saw the word âcontraceptivesâ printed clearly on the bottle in his hand.
Gu Yusheng stared at the medicine bottle without any reaction for a long time, as if he couldnât read the word.
Not feeling as sick to her stomach after some time, Qin Zhiâai took a few deep breaths with her eyes closed. Then she turned on the tap and filled a glass with water.
The sound of the water gushing out of the tap woke up Gu Yusheng, who was standing to the side. He rolled his eyes slowly around the word âcontraceptivesâ and then through the glass bottle, saw there were only a few pills left inside. He seemed to think of something and looked at Qin Zhiâai, who was gargling. âHave you been taking this medicine?â
Qin Zhiâai paused in the middle of raising the cup of water. With her side facing Gu Yusheng, she didnât look at him. After a while, it seemed like nothing had happened, her putting the cup on the side and nodding, âYes.ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
She took two towels and wiped away the water droplets on her lips. Then she smashed the paper towel into the trash can. She turned around and saw Gu Yusheng still standing there. Thinking for a while, she explained, âI know that you may not want to have a child, and you havenât used any contraceptives, so Iâve been taking medicine all this time.â
If he wants to have a child, he would not have let the housekeeper give me contraceptives after the first night.
