630 Made Her Look Younger by a Few Years (1/2)
She slumped beside the toilet bowl as she flushed the toilet. She turned melancholic as she listened to the flushing sounds.
Her symptoms were exactly like what she had experienced years ago. At that time, she had thrown up everything she ate.
She experienced such agony, but it filled her heart with anticipation and excitement. She was looking forward to bringing up her child alone.
'Ding dong.'
The doorbell rang again. After rinsing her mouth, Xuxu left the bathroom. She didn't speak and instead, wrenched the door open.
No one was in sight. When she glanced to the floor, there was a huge bag of fruits.
She didn't immediately shut the door this time around, and instead, she leaned against the door frame as she entered a daze with her focus set on the fruits. After a while, she retreated into her house and closed the door.
Xuxu felt she was like an animal hibernating in the winter as she huddled on the couch watching TV. Earlier on, she ordered plenty of snacks and fruits online.
She would take a nap when she felt sleepy. When she was awake, she would either read or watch TV.
This was her first time living like that, and it didn't seem as boring as she had thought it would be.
She wondered if it was because she was pregnant.
At night, Xuxu climbed into her bed with a book. She could still hear a man coughing, and it seemed more serious than the other day.
The coughing sounds distracted her.
So she decided to switch off the lights and draw the blanket over her. After tossing for some time, she finally fell asleep.
Xuxu could have slept a while more if she hadn't received a call. She glumly furrowed her eyebrows and stretched her hand to grab her phone.
Her eyes remained shut as she picked up the call. ”Hello…”
Her sleepy voice gave away that she was still half-asleep.
A tinkling and resounding voice admonished her. ”You are getting lazier. It's already almost afternoon, and you're still asleep!”
