Gu Jia Ning saw his expression and knew he didn't believe her. She snorted softly, "I'm telling the truth. They say mothers and children have a psychic connection. Anyway, I feel like I'm definitely pregnant."
Gu Jia Ning spoke so seriously that Sheng Ze Xi's attitude also became serious.
Since witnessing Gu Jia Ning's medical skills and having his body cured, he had also looked forward to the arrival of a child.
But, is it really possible?
Recalling the injuries he suffered during his mission and the numerous hospital checkups that resulted in disappointment, Sheng Ze Xi dared not have any expectations.
"What should we do now? Should we find a doctor to take the pulse, or go to the hospital for a checkup?"
"It's only been a month since I conceived, so the doctor probably won't be able to detect it by taking the pulse. However, we can go for a blood test to check," Gu Jia Ning said.
"Should we go to the hospital for a blood test?"
"Yes."
"Okay, let's go, but we need to have lunch first."
"Good."
Sheng Ze Xi quickly went to the kitchen and soon prepared two dishes, one meat and one vegetable, along with soup, and steamed rice.
After dinner, Sheng Ze Xi took clothes, a scarf, a hat, and other things, wrapping Gu Jia Ning up warmly before taking her hand and going to the Military Region Hospital.
Because today is Lunar New Year's Eve, although there were people on duty at the hospital, there were very few.
Of course, very few people came to the hospital today.
And the doctor on duty in the gynecology department today happened to be Doctor Hao.
After they explained the situation, Doctor Hao said, "Indeed, if it's only been a month, it's difficult to detect it by taking the pulse, but a blood test can."
"However, are you sure you don't want to wait? What if it's just a delayed period?"
After all, Gu Jia Ning had said that her period wasn't very regular, often delayed, and she had experienced dysmenorrhea before.
Doctor Hao still leaned towards her not being pregnant; after all, pregnancy is often difficult for people like her.
Actually, Sheng Ze Xi's thoughts were the same as Doctor Hao's.
But he didn't make a decision and instead looked at Gu Jia Ning.
Gu Jia Ning didn't hesitate. "Doctor Hao, please give me a blood test."
The system's test results couldn't possibly be wrong.
Sheng Ze Xi, wait until the results come out; you'll be shocked and dumbfounded! Humph!
"Okay, let's do a blood test."
Soon, Doctor Hao arranged for a nurse to draw blood from Gu Jia Ning.
"The results may take two days to come out. You know, at this time, there are few people on duty at the hospital," Doctor Hao said.
The two nodded in understanding, saying they would come back in two days to get the results.
As they were leaving the hospital, Gu Jia Ning caught sight of a familiar figure, it seemed to be Peng Wenjing.
The latter, seeing them from afar, immediately turned and left. Those who didn't know would think she was very afraid of them.
Gu Jia Ning: It seems that Peng Wenjing has really given up on Sheng Ze Xi. That's good; she doesn't need to take action.
Back home, Gu Jia Ning began selecting clothes from the closet.
"You want to change clothes?" Sheng Ze Xi came closer, hugging her waist, his chin resting gently on her shoulder.
"Yes, I not only want to wear beautiful clothes, but also put on the most beautiful makeup," Gu Jia Ning answered frankly.
"Is it because of tonight's Lunar New Year's Eve performance?"
"Yeah." Gu Jia Ning turned her head and glared at him. "Tonight, someone's unwanted romantic interest will be there. I heard that young woman is the mainstay of the Beijing Military Arts Troupe. I have to dress up properly; I can't let myself be outdone."
Sheng Ze Xi smiled wryly, confidently saying, "You won't be."
"What won't be?"
"You won't be outdone, because I would never compare anyone to you," Sheng Ze Xi said seriously. "In my eyes, my wife is the most beautiful. You don't know how many of my soldiers and comrades envy me for marrying such a beautiful and capable wife. I am very proud."
Sheng Ze Xi was telling the truth; besides Gu Jia Ning, he couldn't see any other woman.
His wife, Gu Jia Ning, was so important to him. How could he compare her to other women? That would be belittling Ningning.
Gu Jia Ning chuckled, her slender fingers poking his chest, slightly raising her chin, and said proudly, "Then you should indeed be proud."
After saying that, she giggled.
"Oh, okay, why don't you help me choose an outfit."
"Okay, I think this one is good."
"I think this one is good too."
……
Huaihua Village on Lunar New Year's Eve was exceptionally lively, with every household decorating their homes in vibrant red.
The Gu family gathered at the old house for a reunion dinner.
The New Year's Eve dinner was very sumptuous.
It was just that, compared to previous years, one person was missing.
Yao Chunhua felt a little sad, as did Old Man Gu and the others. However, Old Man Gu quickly spoke, "Today is New Year's Eve. Don't be sad. Ze Xi is a good boy. He will take good care of Ningning. Moreover, Ningning called yesterday, and she's doing well in the Northwest Military Region."
"We should also be fine, we should be happy."
"Compared to the past, our family has made progress. The eldest brother is a worker now, the eldest daughter-in-law is pregnant, and Ningning has married into a good family. I believe that in the new year, everyone in our Gu family will be better and better."
"Dad is right. Ningning certainly wouldn't want to see us feeling sad because of her. Our family is getting better and better; we should be happy," Gu Yunting immediately echoed.
Subsequently, the rest of the Gu family echoed, looking forward to a new year where everyone would be better and better.
At this time, in the Northwest Military Region, after dinner, Gu Jia Ning, being led by Sheng Ze Xi to the Grand Auditorium, looked up but couldn't see the full moon in the sky, and her heart felt sad.
"Xi Ge, do you think they can't see the moon in Huaihua Village either?" she asked blankly. It's Lunar New Year's Eve; it's supposed to be a time for reunion.
Sheng Ze Xi was stunned, then reached out and put his arm around her shoulders. "Missing your family?"
Gu Jia Ning softly "Mmmed," her voice slightly choked, but she restrained herself.
Looking back on her previous life, Gu Jia Ning felt that her former self had been muddle-headed, as if she hadn't lived well or treated her family well.
Now, reborn, with the emotions of two lives overlapping, she had become very sentimental and more sensitive to changes in the perceptions, emotions, and feelings around her.
She didn't know if this was good or bad.
She even had a moment of bewilderment: Had she really been reborn?
Or was it all a dream, just a case of Zhuangzi dreaming of a butterfly?
"Ningning."
Just as she was thinking that, the next second, Gu Jia Ning heard a call beside her ear, and then she was enveloped in the arms of the person beside her.
Unlike before, this time Sheng Ze Xi held her a little tighter, causing Gu Jia Ning to snap back to reality instantly.
It wasn't a dream; at least, at this moment, Sheng Ze Xi's embrace was real.
"
