23: Eve of Pregnancy

Just a threat, or actually following through?

Tsukimi Rin was terrified.

She regretted even more breaking up with her parents over Qiu Shi when she was eighteen.

Now, besides Qiu Shi, there was no one else in the world who cared where she was or whether she lived or died.

“Rin?” Qiu Shi came out after showering, wearing pajamas.

Her demeanor was as calm as it had been in Tokyo day and night.

But this was no longer Tokyo, and she and Qiu Shi were no longer the same as they were eight years ago.

Back then, she could sleep soundly until noon, but now, sharing the same bed with different dreams made it hard to fall asleep.

Tsukimi Rin couldn’t even tell if Qiu Shi was just trying to scare her or if she was really going to do something.

She and Qiu Shi were worlds apart, she couldn’t win against her, and she couldn’t escape.

“Rin, we’re going for a check-up tomorrow,” Qiu Shi said calmly, with a relaxed and lazy air, like the owner of this house.

“Why do I need a check-up?” Tsukimi Rin felt like her nerves were about to break down. She kept questioning Qiu Shi’s actions and attributing them to the worst possible outcome.

The two were already very close, and Qiu Shi reached out her arm, stroking Tsukimi Rin’s flat abdomen: “The fertilized egg needed for in vitro fertilization is ready, the sperm is of Greek descent, she will be a more beautiful and intelligent child,” Tsukimi Rin said with a smile.

“You’re joking with me, right… haha.” Tsukimi Rin’s eyes were filled with tears: “How could you scare me like that…”

Qiu Shi suddenly looked at her seriously: “Didn’t you say you wanted a child? I’ve been looking for sperm all over the world lately, I was originally planning to have a Jewish child, but they’re too smart and it’s also difficult.”

Tsukimi Rin shook her head: “You can have it yourself, I won’t break up, please don’t treat me like this…” She was too scared, she couldn’t pay so much for this failed relationship.

Qiu Shi hugged the girl in her arms: “How can I have a baby now, my work really doesn’t allow it, and don’t you like giving birth to a child for me?”

“I won’t break up, I like you Qiu Shi, I like you, you can’t treat me like this,” Tsukimi Rin said, constantly begging Qiu Shi out of fear.

Qiu Shi sneered: “Even if you didn’t see me at the club, you would break up, right? You just need a reason.”

So she knew all along, Tsukimi Rin lay on Qiu Shi’s chest, tears streaming down her face: “Let’s talk it over, okay? Qiu Shi, don’t scare me, let’s clear up the misunderstandings, okay?”

“Are you afraid of giving birth? Afraid of the pain?” Just like asking Tsukimi Rin’s preferences, a calm, completely natural tone.

“Of course I’m afraid, I don’t want to, I can promise you that I won’t break up, don’t scare me, and don’t hurt me.”

“I’m not hurting you, I have conditions to allow you to give birth perfectly, and after you get pregnant, the pregnancy hormones will relieve your anxiety, and childbirth won’t hurt either, you’ll be a brave mother,” Qiu Shi comforted her.

“But I also have a job, I only reached this height through hard work, I beg you Qiu Shi…” All of Tsukimi Rin’s dignity was shattered, how does Qiu Shi see her now? A pet?

“How interesting, huh? If you listen to me obediently, I’ll give you everything, and after you give birth to my child, I’ll guarantee you’ll be in this circle, and your reputation will be greatly enhanced.” Qiu Shi wouldn’t let go no matter what, from the moment Tsukimi Rin tentatively suggested breaking up, she had made her final plans.

She always wanted what she wanted to be by her side. Tsukimi Rin had been with her for eight years and was already ingrained in her bones. She didn’t have many relatives, Qiu Ci was one, and Tsukimi Rin, who had been with her for eight years, was another.

Qiu Ci was given to her by heaven, and Tsukimi Rin was personally selected by her.

She didn’t want to lose any of them.

“What am I? Qiu Shi, what am I? A mistress, or a cat or dog to be sent to mate?” Tsukimi Rin softly questioned Qiu Shi.

Qiu Shi just hugged her tighter.

Tsukimi Rin kept sobbing, all night, her eyes were swollen.

She hoped that Qiu Shi would have a change of heart, or that it was just a joke.

She couldn’t handle the scare.

But the next day, Qiu Shi still forcibly took her to a private hospital.

Blood tests, and various other tests.

Tsukimi Rin had to cooperate even if she didn’t want to.

Then she waited in the lounge for a few hours.

Qiu Shi generously gave her an iPad to pass the time.

She really seemed to be treating her like a child.

A middle-aged male doctor came over with various reports, accompanied by a translator.

“All the body indicators are qualified, but if you want the fetus to develop better, the mother needs a good mood.”

Qiu Shi nodded, her eyes on Tsukimi Rin, who was reading the news: “I will pay attention to adjusting it, or is there a psychologist who can do it?”

The doctor shook his head: “If a psychologist comes proactively, the patient will have psychological resistance.”

“Will the hormones after pregnancy make it any better?” Qiu Shi asked again.

“Pregnancy hormones will make her love the child more, but it only has some effect, the specifics cannot be guaranteed.”

Qiu Shi nodded: “I understand, arrange the in vitro fertilization as soon as possible.”

“Okay.”

Tsukimi Rin, who overheard all the conversations, found it hard to remain indifferent.

Qiu Shi pinched her chin and raised her head, just in time to see the wet eyes under her swollen eyelids, really like a puppy, Qiu Shi couldn’t help but chuckle: “Still crying, you’re going to cry your eyes out.”

Tsukimi Rin couldn’t help it anymore: “Qiu Shi, stop it, okay? I won’t break up.”

“If I forgive you this time, what about next time? I hope to cut the weeds and eliminate the roots once and for all.” Qiu Shi let go of her chin: “Let’s go home.”

The earliest surgery was scheduled for next week.

Tsukimi Rin was trapped in this villa again.

Qiu Ci seemed to have a mission. As long as Qiu Shi was not at home, Qiu Ci would appear here.

He would leave before Qiu Shi came back.

If she didn’t know that the two were twins, she would almost suspect that Qiu Shi was wandering outside in men’s clothing during the day, and changing clothes and taking off her colored contacts at night to sleep with her.

The two looked very similar.

Qiu Ci didn’t take the initiative to talk to her, and even if the two chatted, they wouldn’t say anything of value.

Tsukimi Rin: “That day in the capital, how did she catch you?”

Qiu Ci was obviously stunned: “She came, and I went with her, does that count as catching?”

“You didn’t resist at all?” Tsukimi Rin was curious, was Qiu Ci really just a pushover? “What do you do here every day?”

“This is my home, Miss Yue, if you have any opinions, you can raise them with me, every blanket in this house was personally selected by me.” Qiu Ci was extremely proud of this.

Tsukimi Rin also noticed that the decoration of this house was in a vintage style, with sofas, curtains, and carpets of various colors.

Although they were not in the same color scheme, they matched quite well, full of design sense, adding a touch of winter warmth to this corner of France.

Although it was great, Tsukimi Rin still shook her head: “What’s the point, the most important thing about a house is whether the people living in it are comfortable, are you happy Qiu Ci?”

“I’m not happy, I haven’t been happy since the car accident when I was sixteen.” Qiu Ci rarely showed this broken expression, reminding Tsukimi Rin of the year the three of them spent the New Year in Tokyo.
