Yesterday, Mu Shi still couldn't swallow the medicine because before taking it, he looked at the date and found out that it had already expired for one month.
Of course, expired medicine cannot be consumed. Since his stomach wasn't feeling too uncomfortable last night, he didn't go out to buy new medicine. As a result, his stomach started acting up again after he arrived at the company today. Acid kept surging in his stomach, causing him to vomit everything he ate in the morning.
He really knows how to choose the perfect time to bother people.
Mu Shi came out of the bathroom, rubbing his stomach and furrowing his brows. He walked to the sofa in the office and sat down to rest for a while. Mu Shi's mouth was dry and parched, so he got up again and picked up the water cup on the table to fetch some water.
Little did anyone know, the water in the office water dispenser had run dry. Mu Shi furrowed his brows in displeasure. Xu Shan had gone to buy him some stomach medicine, but he hadn't returned yet. As a result, Mu Shi had no choice but to go to the employee tea room to get water himself.
But it has to be said, the pantry is truly a great place to eavesdrop from the corner.
Mu Shi just took the water and walked to the corner to drink a few sips. Suddenly, he heard the sound of high heels outside the door. It seemed like his two female colleagues were chatting, and the sound was getting closer.
"Wang Jie, have you been feeling better recently? I noticed that you were vomiting a lot some time ago."
Another female colleague replied, "I feel much better now. Who would have thought that the baby would be such a handful?"
There was a hint of mild complaint in the tone, but Mu Shi could also hear a sense of deep happiness and contentment.
"It seems like this is how it is during the early stages of pregnancy," the first female colleague said. It seemed as though the door to the pantry had been pushed open, making the voice clearer.
"Well, the doctor also said it's normal and that my morning sickness isn't too severe. Some pregnant women vomit whatever they eat during the first few months after getting pregnant, but for the baby's nutrition, I still have to eat." The pregnant female colleague smiled and said, "My husband is especially considerate now. I don't have to worry about household matters anymore, and every time at this time, he would stick to my belly and educate the little one. You don't know how amusing he looks."
Ah, how wonderful! This must be what it feels like to marry for love, right? I hope I can marry my own love in the future... Hmm! Can I touch the baby? Let me also rub some luck on myself. The sound of water was mixed with envy.
"Haha, sure, later on when we go back, we'll let you feel it. It's been over four months now, and my husband asked me to quit my job and take good care of the pregnancy. But I still want to work for a while longer. I'll resign and stay at home to give birth when my belly gets bigger. I guess I'll become a full-time housewife in the future."
"Being a full-time housewife is not bad either, taking care of the household and raising children..."
With the sound of high heels stepping on the ground and the opening and closing of the door, the voices of the two female colleagues became more and more distant.
And at the corner, Mu Shi's knuckles turned white as he squeezed the cup. He put one hand on his stomach, his face looking extremely unpleasant.
Thinking of recent reactions, he has been feeling uncomfortable in his stomach these days, with nausea and the urge to vomit. He is also more sensitive to the smell of fishy odors and has developed a stronger preference for acidic foods than before...
Could it be...
Mu Shi's face grew even more somber as he thought about those three words.
Without hesitating any longer, Mu Shi released the hand he had been holding tightly in front of his abdomen and clenched the cup tightly as he walked away.
There are no details or content provided in the inquiry. Please provide the specific paragraph you would like me to translate.
After Mu Shi returned to his office, he couldn't sit still. He checked on his phone and felt even more troubled by the words he saw. He decided to go straight home and, by the way, stopped at the pharmacy to buy several boxes of pregnancy test kits. [Mu Shi: I really just bought them on a whim!]
Mu Shi went back and started measuring.
The first one, two bars.
Haha, expired. Mu Shi threw the pregnancy test stick into the trash can, and then took the second one to test again.
After about a minute, the second pregnancy test with two bars appeared.
Hehe, it has expired again. Mu Shi threw away the second one too, without a trace of a smile on the corners of his mouth.
The third one... two dashes.
Continue throwing.
The fourth one... two bars.
"Why are they all expired!"
Mu Shi threw the two pregnancy test sticks he hadn't tested yet to the ground, his temple throbbing fiercely.
