Chapter 118 Unexpected Pregnancy
Tang Man replied, "Beijing University."
The old man asked with a smile, "Which is better, Peking University or Normal University? Come to think of it, my son almost stayed at Normal University to be a teacher!"
Xie Yan was a little surprised, "Mr. Zhou is a teacher?"
"No, my son is still an international student. When he came back from abroad, the Normal University wanted to hire him to teach there. If he hadn't been worried about an old man like me, he would have stayed in Beijing. If he had been a teacher in Beijing, he probably wouldn't have been without money to treat his illness."
At the end of the conversation, the old man, who had originally looked so proud, now had a face full of guilt.
Zhou Lin smiled helplessly and said, "Dad, I've told you many times that I chose to come back not entirely because of you. Don't you think I'm doing pretty well in the No. 1 Middle School in the county now?
At least here everyone is polite to me because I am an international student. If I had stayed in the Normal University, I might not be as free as I am now.
There are many teachers at the Normal University who are more educated and better than me. In that environment, I would be more stressed than I am now. If I get sick, the school may not always give me paid leave. "
The old man glared at his son and said, "You just comfort me."
Worried that the two would have an unpleasant argument over this topic, Xie Yan smiled and changed the subject, "So you are a teacher at the No. 1 Middle School in the county."
Zhou Linyi smiled and nodded, "Yes! I have been teaching here for several years."
The topic was successfully changed, and they sat and chatted for a while, but it was basically Xie Yan and Zhou Linyi who were talking. The old man would interject from time to time, and Tang Man hardly spoke.
The next morning, the two got up early. After washing up, there were still more than two hours before the train departed. Tang Man brought a stool to the window, pulled Xie Yan to sit in front of the window, and took out an old piece of clothing and wrapped it around Xie Yan.
"Wife, what are you going to do?"
"Let me cut your hair." Tang Man took out a pair of scissors and a comb from the Lingquan space behind Xie Yan's back.
“Cut your hair!!!!” Xie Yan’s body stiffened.
His wife can also cut hair?
I'm afraid that the hair that I finally grew out and now looks a little normal short would be cut into uneven pieces that look like they were bitten by a dog.
But he did not resist, nor did he move. Even if his wife's hair cut was ugly, she was still his wife, and he could not stop her from doing what she wanted to do.
Although Tang Man had never learned how to cut hair formally, she had cut hair for her teammates during the apocalypse and had honed her skills. She was confident that the hair she cut was definitely better looking than that cut by the barbers of this era. After all, she knew more hairstyles than the barbers of this era.
Half an hour later, Tang Man used a towel to wipe the hair off Xie Yan's neck and face, took off the clothes around Xie Yan's neck, and handed the mirror to Xie Yan, "Okay, take a look first to see if it looks good."
Xie Yan stared blankly at himself in the mirror. After a long while, he raised his head and looked at Tang Man. "Wife, is the person in the mirror me? Did you replace my head?"
Tang Man bent down and looked at the person in the mirror with a smile.
Xie Yan already looks good when he stands, and now with his natural bangs, he looks several years younger, a bit like a puppy. It's because there was no foam hair wax in that era. If he had used foam hair wax to style his hair, he would have been no match for him when he walked out.
"So handsome." Tang Man praised with a smile, holding his face and smacking his lips. "Haha! Such a beautiful person is mine. I am so lucky."
"Be careful with the hair you kissed." Xie Yan smiled and stood up, patting his hair. "I'll go wash it. Let's go downstairs and eat. It's almost time."
Tang Man smiled and nodded, "Okay."
The two of them held an umbrella and found a place outside to have breakfast, then slowly walked into the train station. After waiting for more than half an hour, they heard the announcement that tickets for the train to Beijing could be checked.
Xie Yan was carrying a box in one hand and a large canvas bag on his back. Tang Man was also carrying a box in her hand. Because there were so many people, Xie Yan had no free hands to hold Tang Man, so he could only look back every two steps and say a few words to Tang Man from time to time, for fear that Tang Man would be separated by the crowd.
The stench of sweat made Tang Man almost vomit, and her face turned pale.
Xie Yanyan noticed that Tang Man's face looked strange again, and asked hurriedly, "What's wrong?"
"No... Ugh..." Tang Man had just opened her mouth when she couldn't help but dry heave.
"Manman." Xie Yan was a little anxious. He quickly put the luggage on the side of the road and went forward to support Tang Man. "What's wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"
Tang Man retched for a while before stopping. After a while, she shook her head and said, "I... vomit..."
Another bout of retching.
Xie Yan frowned and grabbed Tang Man's hand to feel his pulse.
His face immediately turned ugly.
"What's wrong?" Are you sick?
Tang Man immediately activated the wood-type ability in his body to investigate his own situation.
She is pregnant.
It's been more than a month, and she didn't notice anything.
Her period has been late for a long time this month. Due to the original owner's special physique, her period is not very regular in winter. She thought it was because of the coming winter, so she didn't even think about pregnancy.
"It should have been that night in the county town last month." Xie Yan looked at Tang Man with a guilty look on his face. "I'm sorry, I couldn't control myself at that time."
The two of them still have to rely on college entrance exams to return to Beijing, and pregnancy will affect Tang Man's studies, so since they have been together, Xie Yan has consciously taken precautions. The only time he took an exam in the county last month was when he did not take precautions because he did not bring anything with him.
Tang Man retched again, feeling uncomfortable in her mouth and stomach. She leaned lazily against Xie Yan and whispered, "Water."
Xie Yan supported Tang Man with one hand and took out the thermos from his backpack with the other hand. He unscrewed it and fed Tang Man a sip of water. "Man Man, time is almost up. Shall we get in the car first?"
"Yeah!" Tang Man responded and came out of Xie Yan's arms.
Xie Yan put the boxes in his hands together, held them in one hand, and took the box from Tang Man's hand, "Let's go!"
"I'll just bring it up."
"No, it will be troublesome if you get hurt." Xie Yan pushed Tang Man with his hand, "You go ahead, I will watch you, so I can feel more at ease."
"Oh!"
The two continued to move forward with the crowd. Worried that Tang Man might get hit, Xie Yan walked behind Tang Man, holding the suitcase in his hand high to protect her. After a thrill of fear, the two finally found their berths.
Xie Yan bought two lower bunks next to each other. When he got to his seat, he put down his luggage first, helped Tang Man sit down, and then put the luggage under the bed.
He took out the thermos cup, unscrewed it, and handed it to Tang Man, "Manman, drink some water first."
Tang Man shook her head. She felt a little dizzy and her stomach was uncomfortable. She looked listless.
Xie Yan sat on the bed, put his arm around Tang Man, and let Tang Man lie down on his legs. "Then lean on me and rest for a while. I'll give you a massage."
Xie Yan knew that Tang Man was dizzy, so he gently rubbed her temples with his hands for a while and pressed a few acupoints on her head.
Because Tang Man felt comfortable being held by Xie Yan, she fell asleep soon.
