"I'm already an adult and have reached the legal age for marriage. What right do you have to think that I'm not good enough to be pregnant?”
I said coldly.
It was probably because everyone usually gave in to her because of her age. It was rare for someone to rebuke her like this. The old woman was so angry that her hands were trembling.
"Su He."
Coincidentally, the doctor inside called my name. I entered the ultrasound room without looking back.
"Lie down and lift your clothes."
I followed the doctor's instructions and lay on the machine. I felt a chill on my stomach. Just as I was taking an ultrasound, I suddenly felt a child's voice in my mind calling for my mother.
"Who are you?"
"Mom, I'm your child. We've met before.”
This childish voice was indeed somewhat familiar.
However, before I could recall carefully, I heard the nurse's voice." She's already recovered. Why are you still lying down?”She said in a bad mood.
"I'm sorry."
"Just wait. The results will be out in half an hour.”
As she spoke, she began to call out the next patient's name.
I walked out of the ultrasound room and stood in the corridor outside. Almost all of them were pregnant women. However, I was the first one who didn't have a family member or boyfriend to accompany me.
I took my account and sighed.
Half an hour passed quickly. I walked to the information room next door and handed over the number in my hand in exchange for a report.
Nine weeks, the fetus was normal.
That was all he could see from the information on it. Other than that, there was also a photo with heavy shadows. However, because the fetus had not formed yet, he could not see anything.
I took the report back to the dormitory. I thought about it and finally called Tang Tang.
The phone only rang for a second before it was picked up.
"Su Su, how is it?"
"I just came back from the hospital and had an ultrasound. It's been nine weeks.”
There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone." What do you plan to do?”
What do I plan to do?
What can I do?
"I don't know." I don't know if it's because I'm more sensitive after I'm pregnant, but as I spoke, my tears couldn't help but fall.
I was flustered. I held the phone in one hand and wiped my tears with the other. In the end, the phone screen was covered in tears.
"Mommy, don't cry."
That familiar voice rang out in my mind again.
I reached out to touch my stomach and forced back my tears. I remembered that I was still on the phone with Tang Tang, so I said,"Hang up first. I haven't eaten yet.”
Tang Tang immediately blamed me." Why don't you look at the time? You haven't eaten yet. Did you not eat breakfast or lunch?”
Seeing that I didn't say anything, she continued," I know you're in a bad mood, but no matter what, I'll stand on your side. Moreover, you're not alone anymore. You're pregnant, so you can't ruin your body casually."”
"Yes, I know."
"I'll see if there are any cars left in the afternoon. I'll go over to see you now. Otherwise, I won't be at ease.”
"Alright."
After hanging up the phone, I lay on the bed and reached out to touch my stomach. I felt a bulge in my stomach and felt very uncomfortable.
Not long after, I fell asleep in a daze.
Drip, drip, drip…
The sound of dripping water hit my face and neck. It was cold and made me subconsciously touch my neck.
However, the touch on her hand was very strange. It was sticky.
I opened my eyes and saw that my hands were covered in blood.
I screamed and woke up from the nightmare.
After I woke up, I checked several times to make sure that there was no blood on my hands or on the bed. Then, I leaned against the wall and panted heavily.
Only then did I realize that it was already dark outside, but I actually slept until eight o'clock at night.
At this moment, someone knocked on the dormitory door.
With Ye Mei's previous experience, I asked who it was first.
"It's me, Tang Tang."
When I heard Tang Tang's voice, I couldn't hold it in anymore. I opened the door and hugged her as I cried," Tang Tang, you're finally here."”
"Yes, I'm here. It'll be fine.”
After I calmed down, Tang Tang sat on the stool opposite me and asked me," Did the doctor say anything?”
"No, I haven't."
"Then everything is normal." She stretched out her hand and touched my stomach tentatively." What do you think?"”
"When I first found out, I was very determined to abort the child, but Xie Jingyuan did not allow it. And then…"
"Are you soft-hearted?"
I bit my lips, my hands at a loss.
"It's okay, Su Su. If you want to give birth, then give birth. Don't worry about your studies.”
"Are you crazy?" I looked at Tang Tang in disbelief.
"What else can we do? You can't choose neither path." She looked at me gently." However, I'll still do as I said. No matter which path you take, I'll be by your side and support you.”
"We'll see."
I avoided her eyes as if I was avoiding the question.
"Alright."
Because Tang Tang came over, I was in a rare good mood and had an appetite. I went to the nearby food street with her and made up for all the food I hadn't eaten for breakfast and lunch.
After dinner, it was already past ten.
When I reached the crossroads near the school's main entrance, I suddenly saw a flickering fire." What's that?”
"It seems like someone is burning paper money. Let's stay away.”
Tang Tang pulled me to the side.
Just then, I bumped into a woman with disheveled hair. Before Tang Tang could scold her, the woman raised her head and looked at us with a bloody face." I forgot the way home. Do you know where my house is?”
My hand that was holding Tang Tang's hand instantly stiffened.
"What, what should we do…"
The female ghost did not get a reply and suddenly flew into a rage." If you can't find my house, you'll all die!”
As soon as the word 'die' fell, the female ghost was hit by a white light. She screamed and her figure became like smoke, becoming fainter and fainter until she disappeared.
Xie Jingyuan put away his folding fan and asked me with concern,"Su Su, are you okay?"”
"Yes."
"You're pregnant now, and your yang energy is weak. Many little ghosts will try to take advantage of this. Even with me protecting you, it's inevitable that there will be mistakes. How about this, when we go back, I'll teach you how to make your own shikigami.”
"Alright."
Although I didn't quite understand what it was, I still didn't refuse.
I'm still pregnant with his child. Even if it's for the sake of the child, he won't do anything to hurt me.
After returning to the dormitory, Tang Tang went to bed and searched for the taboos of pregnant women. Then, she gave all the space in the room to Xie Jingyuan and me.
The room was quiet and I felt a little uncomfortable.
Xie Jingyuan broke the silence." Do you have a piece of white paper?”
"Yes."
I rummaged through the desk and pulled out an A4 paper from the folder.
"Do you know how to fold paper? Fold a paper figurine." Xie Jingyuan said.
"Alright."
My fingers stiffly flipped the white paper in my hand. After a while, an origami doll appeared in my hand.
"Like this?"
"Yes."
"Take it and chant in your heart,'Take this paper as your body, grant me your soul, give you your name, and become my shikigami.'”
