Halfway through the meal, Xu Qingzhi, who had been sitting quietly at the side, finally couldn’t take it anymore. She covered her mouth and retched.
She hurriedly put down her chopsticks and stood up abruptly.
Shen Fanxing reacted quickly and stood up. “Qingzhi! What’s wrong?”
Xu Qingzhi waved at her and felt a wave of nausea. She closed her eyes and retched before turning around to run out of the room.
Shen Fanxing hurried after him.
There were only four people left in the room. Other than Bo Jinchuan, who sat there calmly, the three of them looked at each other in shock.
‘What was the reason for Xu Qingzhi’s sudden reaction? In their hearts, the first thought that came to their minds was something ambiguous.
No one was an ignorant young man or woman. To say that someone had a stomachache was absolutely idiotic.
Even if there was food poisoning, there had to be a development period. It wasn’t like she had eaten poison that could penetrate her stomach. How could she react so quickly?
Unless there was a dormant period.
In the bathroom, Xu Qingzhi was lying on the sink, clutching her chest and retching. She had not eaten much just now, so she had already vomited.
Shen Fanxing stroked her back, her face turning cold.
‘When Xu Qingzhi was almost done vomiting, her entire body seemed to have exhausted all her energy. She reached out with a trembling hand to wash her mouth before leaning against the sink and panting.
Looking at her trembling body and pale face, Shen Fanxing’s face darkened.
She didn’t say anything and waited quietly for Xu Qingzhi to recover and calm down.
A few minutes later, Xu Qingzhi heaved a sigh of relief.
“Feeling better?”
Shen Fanxing looked at Xu Qingzhi’s pale and haggard face in the mirror and said coldly, her expression unreadable.
Xu Qingzhi nodded. “Much better.”
Shen Fanxing frowned and held Xu Qingzhi’s hand before walking out of the washroom.
“Fanxing? What are you doing?”
“To the hospital!”
Feeling nervous, Xu Qingzhi stood rooted to the ground and stopped walking with Shen Fanxing.
“I just have an upset stomach. I’m not going to the hospital!”
Shen Fanxing turned to look at her with piercing eyes.
“Your stomach isn’t feeling well? So you took medicine?”
Xu Qingzhi’s eyes flashed and she turned her head away without saying anything.
“I remember that the third of this month is your period. Is it here?”
“_.”Xu Qingzhi clenched her fists slightly but remained silent.
Seeing her reaction, Shen Fanxing took a deep breath.
“You said that you’re sick, but you didn’t take your medicine. Qingzhi, what are you thinking? Do you think you can hide it from me?”
Xu Qingzhi bit her lips and tured her head. A hint of fragility finally appeared on her stubborn face.
“Fanxing…”
Xu Qingzhi, who had always been strong, looked so vulnerable and helpless that Shen Fanxing’s heart ached.
When she encountered such a situation, she actually endured it alone. She had no way out and no path ahead. How could she withstand it?
After being strong and independent for a long time, some things that were difficult for ordinary people might not be much to them. What could crush them was something more difficult than difficulties.
It was the same for relationships. Or rather, a person’s strength on the surface was not proportional to their inner heart.
Even a little emotional hurt was the most fatal blow to them.
Shen Fanxing pulled Xu Qingzhi back and suppressed her heartache… “Come to the hospital with me!”
