The corners of her eyes turned red as she said, “Maybe I caught a cold last night while sleeping. It’s nothing serious.”
Meng Xiaowan thought to herself: Although we’re not close and I don’t feel sorry for her, this doesn’t seem like it’s nothing. Since I’m her best friend, I should do something about this.
Immediately after, she asked,”You look weak. Why don’t you go to the hospital?”
Bai Qianqian shook her head and squatted down. She took off her shoes skillfully and walked into her house.
She took the porridge from Meng Xiaowan’s hands and said, “It’s alright. Maybe I haven’t eaten breakfast and my blood sugar level dropped. I’m feeling better now.”
Holding the porridge, she turned around and gestured to Meng Xiaowan who was at the door.
“Quick, this porridge is delicious. Come and have some.”
She raised her chin and glanced at the carton of milk.
“You should drink the milk at night since you usually stay up late. Drinking milk can help you sleep. It’s good for your health.” Meng Xiaowan nodded.
Her gaze fell onto a certain spot on the milk carton and her eyes flashed for a brief second.
Not long after, Meng Xiaowan put away the carton of milk and walked out of the kitchen to sit at the dining table.
On the dining table, two bowls of unpacked porridge were steaming.
Bai Qianqian sat in front of the table, her body swaying. She had yet to start eating.
“Why haven’t you started eating?”
Bai Qianqian’s tears had already dried up but the dried up tear streaks on her face could still be seen.
She turned to look at Meng Xiaowan and said weakly, “I’m waiting for you.”
She saw that Bai Qianqian was still waiting for her to have breakfast together even though she was sick.
Meng Xiaowan felt warmth in her heart.
Meng Xiaowan had commented that Bai Qianqian was a decent person.
From the moment Bai Qianqian entered the house and saw her crying, Meng Xiaowan felt that something must have happened to her.
However, since Bai Qianqian did not say it herself, she did not probe further.
She smiled and said, “You’re already low on blood sugar. What are you waiting for? Hurry up and eat.”
Bai Qianqian smiled and said, “Okay.”
The two of them ate their porridge when suddenly, “Oh!”
Bai Qianqian put down the spoon and covered her mouth with her hands. She immediately rushed into the toilet.
Meng Xiaowan looked up and said calmly, “What’s wrong?”
Bai Qianqian on the other hand, could not say anything and rushed straight to the toilet.
“Clang!”
The toilet door slammed shut, followed by the sound of the toilet lid being overturned.
“Urgh!”
This series of actions happened within a few seconds.
Meng Xiaowan was stunned. When she regained her senses, she took another bite of the porridge.
The porridge tasted good and fresh so the problem shouldn’t be the porridge.
She recalled Bai Qianqian’s sickly look just now and got up to walk towards the toilet.
It seemed like Bai Qianqian had a physical problem.
Just then, Bai Qianqian was kneeling in front of the toilet bowl.
Because she couldn’t vomit it out, she stuck her hand into her throat.
This digging and the sounds of her retching filled the toilet.
There was also the sound of something filthy falling into the toilet bowl.
Just like that, behind the toilet door, Bai Qianqian spat out all the porridge she had just eaten.
At this moment, Meng Xiaowan knocked on the door politely.
She said calmly, “Are you alright, Qianqian? If you’re not feeling well, we’ll go to the hospital now.”
There was no reply from Bai Qianqian.
Meng Xiaowan stopped and did not go in.
She decided to wait for Bai Qianqian to recover and come out on her own so she turned around and left.
Suddenly, Bai Qianqian’s cries came from the toilet!
Meng Xiaowan lowered her gaze and reached out her hand but at this moment, the toilet door opened.
Actually, there was a key on the door that could be opened from the outside.
Meng Xiaowan knocked politely just now as she felt that it was impolite to enter directly.
But now, Bai Qianqian was actually crying.
As her best friend, Meng Xiaowan should not leave her alone.
When Meng Xiaowan saw the scene in the toilet, her eyes narrowed.
Behind the door, Bai Qianqian was squatting in front of the toilet with a pale face.
There was still some porridge in the toilet bowl.
When Bai Qianqian saw Meng Xiaowan enter the room, her sobbing stopped. “Xiaowan, how did you get in? Oh… I didn’t even notice that there was a key outside the door, I just remembered now.”
“But I… I’m really fine…”
“You don’t look very well but it shouldn’t be a problem with the porridge since I’m fine after eating it. Is your stomach not feeling well?” Meng Xiaowan asked gently.
Bai Qianqian lowered her gaze and did not say a word. The tears that she was holding back fell to the ground.
She looked so pitiful when she cried.
Meng Xiaowan saw that she was crying non-stop and couldn’t help but be moved by her pitiful look.
She picked up her phone and was about to call 119 when she said, “If you don’t tell me, I’ll have to call an ambulance.”
At this moment, she said,”Don’t! Xiaowan! I’ll tell you!”
Bai Qianqian carefully took out a contraceptive stick from her pocket.
Her voice trembled as she said, “Xiaowan.”
“I…”
“I’m… pregnant.”
“Pregnant?” Meng Xiaowan took the pregnancy test kit and took a look.
The two lines on the pregnancy test kit were very obvious.
Yes, she was pregnant.
So that was morning sickness. That made sense..
