A sophomore in college starts by getting a marriage certificate with a female CEO.

In the bathroom.

Looking at herself in the mirror, Li Xixue couldn't help but take a deep breath.

Her hair was still messy, her face was pale, and her lips were dry.

The aftereffects of last night's drinking are still lingering; my temples are throbbing with pain.

She felt uneasy and looked down at the two boxes in her hands.

I just grabbed one and took it apart.

It's clearly stated in the instruction manual.

The operation is not complicated.

But her hands were shaking.

It's not cold.

It was just simple nervousness.

Li Xixue bit her lip and finished following the steps in the instruction manual.

Then place the pregnancy test on the sink.

Waiting for the results.

The instructions say that the results will be available in three to five minutes.

Meanwhile, Lu Yang, sitting on the sofa outside, kept glancing at the bathroom. The door was still locked, and he rested his hands on his knees, staring at the glass of water on the table that had gone cold.

He could hear the faucet in the bathroom turn on briefly and then turn off.

Then there was silence again.

To be honest, his current state is a bit strange.

I was definitely nervous, but not entirely nervous.

It's more of a feeling that's hard to describe.

There was another noise coming from the bathroom.

The tap was turned on again.

About two or three minutes later.

The door opened suddenly.

Li Xixue walked out slowly with small, quick steps.

Lu Yang stood up and looked at her.

She held the pregnancy test in her hand, her expression calm.

Peace has returned.

Ping could not see the outcome from Lu Yang's perspective.

"How is it?" he asked.

Li Xixue walked to the sofa and placed the pregnancy test on the table.

A bar.

Lu Yang was stunned for a moment, then looked at Li Xixue.

What does "one bar" mean?

Li Xixue glanced at him.

"Didn't you read the instruction manual?"

I didn't check when I bought it.

"There isn't a single bar."

Upon hearing this, Lu Yang immediately relaxed his shoulders.

Think about it too.

How many days has it been since we had sex?

How could she have gotten pregnant so quickly?

Then he noticed Li Xixue's expression.

She sat on the sofa, hugging a cushion, her expression hard to describe.

I can't say I felt relieved, nor can I say I felt disappointed.

Anyway, it looks very complicated.

Lu Yang also sat down, with a cushion between them.

"Are you unhappy?"

Lu Yang asked.

"Who said I'm unhappy?"

Li Xixue turned her head away.

"And what was your expression?"

"I...I have a normal expression."

Lu Yang didn't ask any further questions.

The two remained silent for a while.

Li Xixue's fingers fidgeted with the corner of the pillow.

"that……"

She suddenly spoke up: "I want to take the test again."

Lu Yang was taken aback for a moment, then asked, "Didn't you already take the test?"

"I'm using the cheaper one," Li Xixue said.

"..."

Lu Yang looked at her: "You mean, you want to use the more expensive one to test again?"

Li Xixue pinched the corner of the pillow with her fingers.

"Didn't you say the expensive ones are more accurate?"

Lu Yang opened his mouth.

Ok.

Although he felt it was unnecessary, judging from Li Xixue's expression, he figured she wouldn't be able to get over it if she didn't test it.

"Then why didn't you just use the more expensive ones from the beginning?" Lu Yang asked.

"I……"

Li Xixue paused, unsure how to explain, and could only say, "I think I'll test both, that way it will be more accurate."

"Alright..."

Lu Yang didn't stop her: "Then go ahead."

Li Xixue picked up another box and went into the bathroom again.

The door closed.

Lock it.

Lu Yang sat back down on the sofa and waited.

This time it didn't take too long.

About a minute.

The door opened.

Li Xixue came out holding the second pregnancy test.

It's still a lever.

"Okay, confirmed."

Lu Yang nodded.

She didn't get pregnant.

It was a false alarm.

Li Xixue breathed a sigh of relief, put away the two pregnancy tests, and wrapped them in paper.

The two sat on opposite sides, and the room was quiet for a moment.

Lu Yang leaned back on the sofa, staring at the ceiling.

Li Xixue hugged a cushion and stared at the glass of water on the table, which had gone cold.

No one spoke.

A few more seconds passed.

Lu Yang broke the silence first: "Then it's alright."

Li Xixue nodded, her voice slowly escaping: "It seems so."

What do you mean by "similar"?

Lu Yang turned and glanced at her.

Li Xixue frowned, her fingers fidgeting with the corner of the pillow.

Although she was alright, she still seemed a little worried.

"I'm thinking."

"What are you thinking about?"

Li Xixue asked, "Do you know when the earliest a pregnancy test can show a result?"

Lu Yang opened his mouth.

To be honest, he really didn't know about this area of ​​knowledge.

"A few days?"

Li Xixue put the cushion on her lap and took out her phone.

She opened the Doubao app and typed in a few words.

The light from the phone screen shone on her face. Lu Yang turned his head to look at it; the search bar displayed the words.

How long after intercourse can a couple test positive for pregnancy?

Doubao's answer popped up quickly.

[Generally, it takes at least 7-10 days. Early pregnancy test strips can be used as early as 10-14 days after intercourse, but to ensure accuracy, it is recommended to test one week after menstruation is delayed.]

Li Xixue's fingers stopped.

She looked up at Lu Yang.

Lu Yang also finished reading it.

The two fell silent again.

"so……"

Lu Yang spoke.

"So the measurement is inaccurate now."

Li Xixue placed her phone screen-down on her lap.

Lu Yang nodded: "It seems so."

According to Doubao, it will take at least ten days to get a result.

In other words, those two pregnancy tests were a waste of time.

No.

It should be said that the test was conducted too early.

"Do we need to test again after that?"

"It seems so."

Upon hearing this...

Li Xixue kicked Lu Yang with her fair thigh: "What do you mean by 'looks like'!"

After kicking, she shrank back onto the sofa, hugged a cushion, buried her face in it, and looked like she was about to cry.

Lu Yang rubbed the spot where he had been kicked, but didn't say anything.

To be honest, he wasn't wronged to be kicked.

"It's all your fault."

Li Xixue's eyes were slightly red, and her voice came out muffled from inside the pillow.

If it weren't for what this guy did, I wouldn't be living in constant fear.

"What's it to my fault?"

Lu Yang looked at the other person.

Li Xixue glared at him, "Why didn't you use protection that night?"

"Okay, I was wrong."

Lu Yang admitted it.

"What did you do wrong?"

"I shouldn't have given up, and I shouldn't have failed to protect myself."

Lu Yang gave an answer that would barely allow him to survive.

Li Xixue leaned back and closed her eyes.

"...My head still hurts."

"Have some porridge, your mom brought it."

Li Xixue opened one eye and looked at the insulated box on the table.

Lu Yang quickly went to the kitchen to heat up the millet porridge that Song Qiulan had brought, and then brought it to her.

"Eat a little bit, it's more uncomfortable to have an empty stomach."

"I don't want to eat."

"So you're planning to go hungry for a day?"

Li Xixue did not answer.

Lu Yang put the bowl on the table and didn't press her any further.

Just then, his phone rang.

Lu Yang picked it up and took a look.

A message from Li Xiaochen.

Brother-in-law, you lied to me!!!
