119. Two lines
After drinking a glass of slightly warm boiling water, the person felt much more comfortable, but still decided to go downstairs to the pharmacy to buy some medicine and come back for backup.
I took the key and my mobile phone downstairs, and when I walked into the pharmacy, the clerk came to ask me what medicine I needed, and I asked the area for adult cold medicine and went to buy it myself. After almost taking all the medicines that should be replenished, I was about to go to the cash register, when I suddenly heard a girl behind me call me in a low voice: "Sister, can you help?" ”
When I turned around, I saw a little girl who looked less than twenty years old standing a few meters away, her eyes locked on me, but there was timidity in her eyes. He raised his eyebrows slightly, neither showing too enthusiasm nor coldness, and only asked, "What's the matter?" ”
The little girl compared the box in her hand, "Can you help me see how to use this?" ”
I glanced over the long box in her hand, didn't see what it was, and walked over. When I took it from her hand, I saw the word "pregnant" on it, and I suddenly realized, no wonder this girl didn't ask the clerk, it turned out to be embarrassing.
I probably looked at the instructions on the box and explained to her in a whisper: "Look here, if it is measured as one line, it means that there is none, and if it is measured out as two lines, it means that there may be." ”
But I heard her say: "Actually, I have already bought two, one is two lines, and the other is one line, and I don't know if there is one." I couldn't help but be stunned, I know what this girl knows, so she came to ask me? I don't have any experience with that.
Then he spoke more perfunctory: "Then you buy another test, sometimes it may not be accurate." ”
She suddenly smiled as if she had been recognized, "Well, I thought so too, thank you, sister." ”
I was slightly stunned and subconsciously asked, "How old are you this year?" ”
Suddenly, her smile froze, and she awkwardly avoided my gaze and said, "Twenty." ”
Not to mention that there are countless people, but it is still possible to see through a little girl, it is obvious that she is lying, but I don't need to expose her. returned the box to her, and wanted to go to the checkout, but she pulled it, "Sister, what if...... If so, will it hurt to have that abortion? The young man looked at me with apprehension and uneasiness on his face.
The only aspect I've covered about about pregnancy is Wei Lai's side. And her affairs are the last thing I want to pay attention to, so the girl in front of me came to ask me, I was afraid that I had found the wrong person, and I couldn't provide her with the "experience" in this area.
was about to open his mouth to decline her question, but she was anxious and said: "I heard that the painless abortion is actually very painful, I was so scared, I didn't know that it might be, it was my girlfriend who asked me why I haven't bought sanitary napkins to find out that I haven't had a period for two months, and I don't know what to do now." ”
"You should find the person who made you pregnant to take care of this together, not be alone here and scared. Don't do anything to hurt yourself in the future, have fun for a while, and it is very likely that you will regret it for the rest of your life, and girls must have a sense of self-defense. ”
I am in the duty of a lawyer, to persuade and warn ignorant girls. When she tastes the forbidden fruit, it is a momentary joy, but the hidden danger may make her regret it for the rest of her life. There are already examples of this around me, even if I don't like Wei Lai, but what she has experienced from the past to the present is really embarrassing.
The little girl was stunned by what I said, grabbed the box and went to the cash register, but she didn't dare to look at me again.
I smiled, I was still too young to have experienced the baptism of society. Just as I was about to walk over, my mind suddenly shook and I was shocked, trying to think about when was the last period? I can't remember the date of last month when I went through all the places in my head. Last month was the year ago, when I was busy dealing with Zhou Nian's family of three, and the court was involved in the divorce case.
After thinking about it, my face became a little ugly, and I walked to the place where the girl had just come, and my eyes swept over to find the same pink box. The girl was no longer there at checkout, and the cashier looked up at me when he scanned the box.
I can't be as thin-skinned as a little girl, and I don't move my eyebrows, but look straight into the past.
The cashier took his look curtly and quoted me the price.
After settling the bill, I walked out of the pharmacy and walked back to the apartment building only to find that I had a chill down my spine and a cold sweat on my back.
When I walked into the bathroom, I was still hesitant, and when I came out, my heart was empty.
On that pregnancy test stick thrown in the trash can in the bathroom are two threads......
I sat down on the couch and leaned my head back on the chair and thought to myself – isn't that ironic? The child did not come when he was in the marriage, and the marriage ended, but he came.
When I divorced, I was even glad that at least I didn't have children with Zhou Yu, I didn't have so many involvements, and I didn't have any worries later.
But now, how?
I rubbed my eyebrows, God really played a big joke on me, and it can also be said that fate is too good at playing tricks on people. The more you don't want to be involved with that person, the more you get involved, the more you get involved.
Slowly getting up, his eyes slowly fell on his belly, where there was now a small life.
Where to go?
Life goes on and doesn't stop because something changes. But it will affect me, I can't pay attention at work, I can't help but listen carefully when I hear my colleagues talk about children, and even Xiao Dong invited everyone to drink coffee, and I turned down my share. Xiao Dong glanced at me meaningfully, and I lowered my head to avoid it.
But two days later, Xiao Dong still found an opportunity to ask me for an answer.
In the silence of the space, I sat opposite Xiao Dong, and when he saw that I didn't speak for a long time, he couldn't help but smile and ask, "Haven't you thought about it yet?" Do you want to give you any more time to think about it? But Xiaoru, is this really so difficult? Why don't you try to get along with me first? Of course, I don't mean to get along like we do now, but like lovers. We can skip the steps of acquaintance and acquaintance, why don't we start by watching a movie? ”
Needless to say, Xiao Dong's speaking skills are self-evident, he is seductive and does not make people feel persecuted, but he is actually approaching his goal. When you nod your head and agree to the first step, that is to walk into the circle he has drawn, and then you will inevitably be persuaded by him.
However, when I finally raised my eyes to meet him, I shook my head at him: "Xiao Dong, I can't do it. ”
He was slightly stunned, and understood that I had refused, "Can you tell me the reason?" ”
I haven't decided whether to announce the direct reason or not, but I can say a little thought in my heart: "I have seriously considered it after I went back that day, and it is true that your proposal may be helpful to me now, but after thinking about it carefully, I still feel that we are not suitable." Because they may be more familiar with each other in the workplace, but once they are involved in family relationships, I am afraid it is difficult to be rational. And we are in a position where we are in the court, and there is no room for the slightest personal emotion. ”
Xiao Dong felt funny: "Are you questioning my professionalism?" Think I'm going to be biased because I develop a relationship with you as a lover or as a couple? I didn't deny it, stared into his eyes and asked, "As long as you are human, you must have emotions, can you guarantee that you will always be able to maintain your sanity in the future and not be affected by personal emotions such as work and family?" ”
This time, Xiao Dong didn't rush to respond to me, his eyes showed deep thought, he was thinking about my problem.
After a while, he said: "I can't guarantee you the future, and if you swear an oath, you will not be responsible for the future, I can only say that I will not bring my feelings and family to work as much as possible." ”
I shook my head slightly, "Xiao Dong, no one can guarantee this." I think it's best for us to maintain the current relationship between colleagues and friends, otherwise if there is friction in the future, we will not see each other, but it will lead to conflicts. Even thinking about it later, if we don't get along well and want to separate, is it not even affected by work, and it is not embarrassing to face it every day? ”
Xiao Dongmo looked at me calmly, the curvature of the corners of his mouth was always there, I couldn't see his joy and anger, but it made me feel the compulsion of that aura. But I didn't avoid that gaze, and he needed to be calm, and I choked on my throat when he laughed suddenly.
After working together for so long, there is still a tacit understanding, and he was persuaded by me.
I saw him pretending to be frustrated and holding his head and saying: "Alas, the first time I confessed to someone, I was rejected, and we haven't been together yet, so you use the example of separation to scold me, Jia Ru, I also lost to you." ”
I sneered: "This is not something I learned from you, not the right thing, not the right person." ”
He glared angrily, "Did I teach you this?" And it's on me! ”
"I didn't teach, I was highly savvy."
"Come on, you dare to be scared in front of me." Xiao Dong complained and waved his hand at me with disgust, "Okay, okay, go out, I'm upset when I see you." ”
I got up with a smile.
understands that Xiao Dong is using laughter to resolve the embarrassment, and he will feel shameless and frustrated when I reject him. In fact, to be honest, after I bumped into Zhou Yu on the day he proposed, I really had this thought, otherwise I wouldn't have mentioned it to Zhou Yu.
The main reason is that others don't have the power to deter Zhou Yu, but whenever I say nonsense that a person comes to him, it's nothing, and he will destroy people in minutes, just like my first nominal ex-husband Chen Huan. After being taught by him that time, I haven't seen Chen Huan again, and of course I don't miss the past.
As for Xiao Dong, Zhou Yu has been hostile since he met me again, which is an animal's instinctive prevention of crisis awareness. He felt that the relationship between Xiao Dong and me was not simple, even if he knew that I had nothing to do with Xiao Dong, he still guarded against it.
So when I put forward Xiao Dong's proposal that night, Zhou Yu couldn't restrain his emotions, which may lead to a car accident later. I've analyzed it carefully, and I have an element of anger here, and I also have the desire to break it completely.
Xiao Dong is right, only by starting anew can we let go of the past. And this restart, it can't be with Zhou Yu, I don't have the qualifications to start over with him.
And this thought disappeared after I found out that I was pregnant, if I might have been able to make this decision because of Xiao Dong's friendship with me before, but after that I couldn't. It's no longer just me and him, it's about many other factors.
It's like Xiao Dong proposed to me for two reasons: first, I work with him, there will be no friction and contradictions in official affairs, and we are also familiar with each other; The second is that his parents are currently retired teachers and want to hold their grandson as soon as possible.
I can really communicate with him in the former, but in the latter, it is obviously impossible. In addition, having children and not having children are two different things, no matter how generous Xiao Dong is, it is impossible not to mind that I have someone else's child.
