"It was love at first sight!" Lei Qingshan answered.
The moment his words left his mouth, Liu Rushi became surprised. She stood there still while all her tears came out; drop by drop.
"I was 22 back then..." Slowly, slowly Lei Qingshan narrated his story. He told her about the first time he saw her. And how he had seen her.
"Then, why did you never say me?" His story completely bewildered her. Just like how she had a crush on a boy named Lei Qingshan ever since she was 15, she realized that Lei Qingshan also had a crush on a girl that was herself ever since he was 22...
As she began to think more, his answer stopped her from thinking. "I was afraid... Afraid that I would lose you! I was afraid that you would call me a stalker or a pervert for being by your side until now." He started to yell and as he yelled the veins of his neck started popping out.
Liu Rushi flinched. She was taken aback from his sudden yelling. Nevertheless, she had decided to get all the answers thus, she stood firmly rooted in her place and daringly faced him. "Aren't you a stalker now? Changing your identities and not being yourself... Tell me which person doesn't becomes a stalker when he does this?"
"I didn't get anything suitable to do... I just wanted to be with you and this was what felt right to me. I really love you. I love you, Liu Rushi! I really do!" In the end, Lei Qingshan was only able to say Liu Rushi that he loves her. He too, didn't know why he used changing his identity as an option, so, he couldn't find any better answer than this.
Unable to take all those words in one go, Liu Rushi felt her world spinning. She immediately felt her legs turning jelly.
"Oww!" She whined and touched her forehead.
"Liu Rushi? You alright?" Lei Qingshan moved closer to catch her but before his hands could touch her body, she stopped him.
"Stop!! Don't come near me!!!" She kept her hand in front of him to stop him from coming near her.
Fear started to take it's toll on him and he started to shiver. He was already worried for her condition and now, when she told him to not come near... he felt a familiar ache in his heart.
It was the same pain when Liu Rushi had told him that she wouldn't want to see him again. Nevertheless, he just quietly took steps near her because from her wavering condition, he knew that she was going to fall.
Liu Rushi pressed her forehead with her hand and started walking. Thanks to the car which was in front of her, she leaned her body on the car and dragged herself.
Her mind started to turn blank. She felt her sight turning dark and suddenly, her legs lost the strength. Losing her entire strength, she was about to fall when Lei Qingshan came behind her and held her. He noticed her closed eyes and tapped on her face trying to wake her up.
"Liu Rushi? Liu Rushi?" He shook her head and immediately took out his car keys from his pocket.
He opened the door and made her sit on the front seat. He quickly walked towards the other side of the and sat inside.
He started the car and sped off.

After waiting for half an hour outside the emergency room, Lei Qingshan stood up as he heard the footsteps coming near him. He saw the doctor who was attending Liu Rushi walk towards him. With a concerned voice, he asked "How is she Doctor? Is she fine?"
The doctor looked at Lei Qingshan up and down and asked "Are you her relative?"
"Yes! I'm her fiancé!" Lei Qingshan answered. Although, it was just that he and Liu Rushi had agreed on getting married and that Liu Rushi's parents never agreed for their marriage, he just thought it was better to state the truth.
Hearing his answer, The doctor gave a nod and smiled. He tapped on Lei Qingshan's shoulder and complimented him "There is nothing for you to worry about her. She is completely fine! It's just that she took some stress which caused her to lose her consciousness. And the baby is absolutely fine and healthy!"
"Baby?" Lei Qingshan asked while being shocked. He looked at the doctor in front of him with eyes wide like an owl and an opened mouth.
"Yes! Your fiancée is three weeks pregnant!" The doctor smiled and assured him. "You can meet her after ten minutes."
Lei Qingshan happily bowed his head and thanked the doctor. He instantly felt like jumping up and down like a five-year old. He was very excited to know that Liu Rushi was pregnant and that, he was going to be a father...
A cheerful growl escaped his mouth and he immediately covered his mouth as he noticed various people staring at him.
He suppressed his smile and bowed to them in an apologetic manner and then, with a deep sigh he entered Liu Rushi's room.
As Lei Qingshan entered inside the room he saw Liu Rushi trying to get up. He quickly rushed towards her and helped her in resting her body on the back of the bed.
"How are you feeling?" Lei Qingshan asked shyly. Now, that he got to know that he was going to be a father, he became very shy. He was getting flustered just by seeing her.
"Good!" Liu Rushi answered and looked down.
"You didn't tell me anything about it." As Lei Qingshan watched Liu Rushi looking down, he asked her.
"About what?" Liu Rushi became baffled.
"You don't know?"
Liu Rushi shook her head and became even more confused.
After taking two to three deep breaths, Lei Qingshan answered "You are three weeks pregnant!"
"What?" Liu Rushi instantly became shocked. She hadn't expected that she would be pregnant because last time when she had an intercourse with him, he had used a condom. Suddenly, she remembered that they had sex in the office. And Lei Qingshan hadn't used any condoms then.
