Tang Xiaoguo panicked: "Is this my period...or did I have a miscarriage?"
Ning Shu said excitedly: "Don't talk nonsense, you can't miscarry..."
Jiang Yao got a sponge.
A thought struck Ning Shu: "Hurry, check your phone!"
Ning Shu and Tang Xiaoguo hurriedly fumbled to get out their phones and look it up.
Jiang Yao grabbed Shen Bing's hand: "Sis Bing, what kind of pain is it?"
Shen Bing held her belly: "It feels like a stabbing pain, like there's a drill..."
Jiang Yao thought for a moment: "I've had that kind of pain during my period too, it's a bit like menstrual cramps. Have you ever had this kind of pain before?"
Shen Bing shook her head: "Never!"
"What should we do..." Jiang Yao wanted to do something to help Shen Bing, but after thinking hard for a long time, it seemed like the only thing she could do was: "Drink...drink some hot water..."
Shen Bing shook her head in agony: "I don't want to drink..."
"Did you find anything?"
"Almost there..."
Finally, Ning Shu and Tang Xiaoguo discovered the main causes of miscarriage: "Excessive physical exertion and fatigue in the first three months can lead to miscarriage..."
Tears welled up in Tang Xiaoguo's eyes: "No way!"
"Keep looking..." Ning Shu scrolled through her phone again until the 30 second shutdown screen popped up.
Shen Bing let out a helpless sigh: "Oh never mind, it's just...it's just my period coming. "
"Really?"
Shen Bing nodded: "Really! I'm just late this time..."
"But Sis Bing, didn't you say you were pregnant?"
"I..."
A hint of disappointment and sadness flashed across Shen Bing's expression.
When she first got the news, she felt resigned, but after accepting the fact, she also felt a tinge of joy and even started imagining life with a child.
So when she found out it was just a beautiful misunderstanding, a feeling of indescribable loss and sadness welled up in her heart!
And Ning Shu noticed it all.
In that moment, the class monitor had already envisioned an epic, moving heroic tale!
To Shen Bing, although it was a bit disappointing, when she thought about it rationally, wasn't this a good thing?
She felt relieved and could live here steadily now, right?
It was just a little embarrassing.
"Everyone, don't worry, I must have made a mistake before, I'm not...not pregnant..."
Jiang Yao was a bit surprised: "You can make that kind of mistake?"
Ning Shu nodded solemnly: "Xiaoguo, come with me to the bathroom!"
After coming out, she poked her head back in: "Yao Yao, get me a sponge..."
Jiang Yao hurried to find another sponge: "Sis Bing, just wait a moment!"
After closing the bamboo door, Ning Shu's expression changed abruptly, and was suddenly filled with Holmes-like wisdom.
"Class monitor, you..."
"That's right, I just wanted to call you guys out." Then she lowered her voice: "What do you think about Sis Bing's situation?"
Jiang Yao thought for a moment: "I feel...it's highly likely that it's just her period! Because I've had that kind of pain before, and Lu Zhe even helped pour hot water for me..."
"Hmm? When did this happen?"
"During club activities! He was my partner after all!" She said smugly.
"What about you, Xiaoguo?"
Tang Xiaoguo thought for a moment: "I...I don't know, but didn't Sis Bing say it was just her period?"
Ning Shu shook her head calmly: "Wrong, you're both wrong!"
"You know the truth?"
Ning Shu nodded solemnly.
"What exactly happened then?"
Ning Shu sighed: "Sis Bing did miscarry, but she didn't want us to feel sad, so she pretended that it was no big deal."
Jiang Yao and Tang Xiaoguo looked at each other, both feeling a bit surprised.
Ning Shu analyzed logically:
"Firstly, since she already knew she was pregnant, it must have been before getting on the plane, because that's the only time she could have used a pregnancy test kit to find out. How could she say she was expecting just because her period was late by a few days?"
Jiang Yao nodded: "That makes sense."
Ning Shu went on: "Secondly, if it was just her period, that would be a very ordinary thing for us girls, right? We all bleed, and Sis Bing has had way more periods than us. But did you notice just now, the sadness in Sis Bing's emotions when she talked about this..."
Tang Xiaoguo realized: "You're right!"
"So on the surface she looks fine, but she's actually already in a lot of pain."
Jiang Yao and Tang Xiaoguo both nodded.
"But that's still not the main thing!"
"There's more?"
Ning Shu pondered: "Think about it, a lot of women worry about having kids if they're stranded on a deserted island, but Sis Bing actually seemed a little happy about it. What does that suggest?"
Tang Xiaoguo thought for a moment: "Sis Bing likes kids?"
Ning Shu shook her finger calmly.
Jiang Yao sighed: "Class monitor, stop making it so hard for us, we really can't figure out such deep questions."
Ning Shu said solemnly: "Of course, it means this child held extraordinary significance for her!"
"What significance?"
"Something must have happened to Sis Bing during her mission."
"Oh, she already told us that!"
"If I'm not mistaken, Sis Bing's husband was probably also on that plane."
"Huh?"
"Because from her conversation with Lu Zhe, I overheard something - after being stranded on the island, she had thought about committing suicide!"
"Yeah, I think I heard that too."
Ning Shu analyzed word for word: "Think about it, Sis Bing doesn't have Lu Zhe's survival skills, but she's still stronger than us, right? And there were so many useful supplies on the volcanic island, so there's no reason for her to want to commit suicide so quickly. The only possibility for wanting to commit suicide is - her beloved sacrificed himself, and she didn't want to live on alone!"
After hearing Ning Shu's explanation, Jiang Yao and Tang Xiaoguo's jaws dropped.
"And when she finally chose to live on, it was because of the child in her belly - she thought her beloved had passed away, so at least she had to give birth to his child and raise it!"
"But who could have expected that the only hope sustaining her would be gone now too."
Tang Xiaoguo exclaimed: "That's...too tragic."
Jiang Yao mused: "Very Jinjiang-esque..."
"I'd rather everything I said was wrong!" Ning Shu shook her head painfully: "But sadly..."
She couldn't bear to say any more.
She left Jiang Yao and Tang Xiaoguo with a heavy feeling in their hearts:
"What if Sis Bing tries to commit suicide again...?"
"What should we do?"
"What we need to do is try our best to help Sis Bing get over the shadows of her past, and make her as happy as possible!"
"What can we do to help her?"
"Nothing we do will be of use. The only one who can truly help her is one person!"
Jiang Yao and Tang Xiaoguo looked at each other puzzled: "Who?"
"Lu Zhe!"
"Lu Zhe?"
"Why?"
"Because he's the one who looks most like Sis Bing's husband!"
"You're right, Sis Bing did say that!"
"They even have the same surname!"
"Did you guys notice, sometimes when Sis Bing looks at Lu Zhe she stares a bit longer?!"
"Now that you mention it..."
"I guess without realizing it, she's started seeing Lu Zhe as her deceased beloved..."
The two girls were even more surprised.
"Even though I don't want to do this, I have to talk to Lu Zhe and get him to take care of Sis Bing as her boyfriend until she gets over the shadows of her past and starts enjoying life again! During this time, none of us should get jealous..."
