At ten o’clock, they met at the Wangfujing subway station. Seeing Chu Yue, Du Moli ran over excitedly, her high heels clicking on the floor: “What a great writer, it’s not easy to meet you!”
Chu Yue just smiled. She wore a black fitted down jacket, black knee-high boots, and a white wool scarf. Du Moli frowned, “Chu Yue, you look like you’ve lost a lot of weight since last time!”
Looking at the table full of big fish and meat, Chu Ai suddenly lost her appetite. She waved over the server, “Do you have Sichuan pickles? Bring me a bowl.”
The pickles were quickly served. Chu Ai was so tempted that saliva almost dripped down. “Mm, pickles are perfect with rice, sour and spicy, so satisfying to eat!”
Du Moli looked at her strangely, “Why are you only eating pickles? Are you going to make me eat all these dishes alone?” She picked up a piece of meat for her, “Eat more meat, look how thin you are…” Before she could finish, she saw Chu Ai suddenly cover her mouth, almost about to vomit, looking away from the piece of pork belly on her chopsticks.
After eating two mouthfuls of pickles to suppress the rising nausea, Chu Ai took a long breath, “Much better!”
Du Moli suddenly realized, “Oh, so you don’t like braised pork. Okay, try this fragrant pot fish, it’s delicious…” Just as she was about to transfer the oily fish to Chu Ai’s side, Chu Ai covered her mouth and quickly left her seat, running to the bathroom.
Du Moli followed. She saw Chu Ai leaning over the sink, vomiting profusely, even bile came out. She hurriedly patted her back, “Are you okay?”
“I’m fine!” Chu Ai weakly shook her head, forcing a smile. After washing her face with cold water, she felt much better. “These days have been like this, no appetite, throwing up everything, probably another stomach illness!”
Back at the table, Du Moli looked at her thoughtfully, “Chu Ai, you’re not pregnant, are you?”
Chu Ai’s chopsticks fell on the table. She was stunned: Pregnant?
Her period was delayed by several days, but how could she be pregnant? She remembered that night with Gu Yunzhi in Zhuhai. They usually took precautions, but that night, they indulged themselves completely.
