At this time, the corners of Zhou Yucai's mouth curled slightly, and his eyes moved from me to Xiao Dong, "Agreeing to date you is not marriage, as long as Jia Xiaoru is unmarried for one day, I have the right to pursue her." Prosecutor Xiao is in a hurry to announce, is he afraid that someone will compete with you? I'm so unconfident in myself. ”

Mom is not calm: "No, Xiaoyu, I know that you have been busy running around recently because of my affairs and Xiaoru, but you and Xiaoru can't just spend so much time, you always have to marry another and remarry the other." ”

Zhou Yu: "Auntie, I understand that you have a lot of dissatisfaction with me now, but please give me time to do it for you." You said that you would marry and remarry, but since I was a child, I have never had a second thought, and the only wife I want to marry in my life is Jia Xiaoru. ”

My hand hanging at my side trembled slightly, and I saw that my mother was also stunned.

Xiao Dong interrupted the frozen atmosphere with a chuckle, "Since Zhou said so, then I won't bother to say more." When I went back, I agreed on the marriage date with Xiaoru, and I must be the first to notify Zhou Suo. ”

Zhou Yu no longer paid attention to him, and when this person didn't exist, he said to me: "The discharge procedures have been completed, are you leaving?" "There was no reason to continue spending in the ward, so I had to get up, and Ben didn't have any belongings, just a backpack on the floor.

As a result, Xiao Dong and Zhou Yu bent down and reached out to take it at the same time, the space was condensed for a moment, Xiao Dong picked up the bag first, and a smile tugged at the corner of his mouth, which was not proud, but Zhou Yu's face looked a little heavy under the reflection.

Walking out of the hospital, Xiao Dong asked us to wait at the door, and he went to drive over.

Zhou Yu stood aside and did not move, and only when Xiao Dong walked out of a distance did he move to my side, his eyes fell on the unknown place, and he asked softly, "Why did you suddenly make a decision?" ”

Mom coughed dryly on the other side, deliberately walking away a little distance.

I replied vaguely: "It's not sudden, I mentioned it to you before." ”

He snorted lightly, and suddenly turned his eyes, "Do you really want to marry again?" ”

With a stab in his heart, he almost wanted to shake his head when he was locked in his quiet eyes, but he could barely look at him after he had calmed down and said, "This will always happen in the future, won't it?" ”

Zhou Yujing looked at me for a moment and then moved her dark eyes, and it took a long time before she answered: "Yes, it will always happen, it's just a matter of time." ”

My heart sank, but I still said, "You will marry another person." ”

In an instant, he grinned, but the smile did not reach the bottom of his eyes, and he tilted his head slightly, "Maybe, who knows?" ”

Xiao Dong's car drove over, my mother and I got into the car one after another, and Zhou Yu stood aside and watched silently. When the car drove far away, I saw him standing there motionless in the rearview mirror.

There was a sudden ache in my eyes, and I felt an uncontrollable habitual dull ache somewhere in my heart.

When I was in the car, my mother told me that it was better to stay at home for a while, and not stay alone in the apartment, so that she could take care of it. I opened my mouth, looked at Xiao Dong, and swallowed back the rejection that came to my mouth.

If you really decide to take this step, then continue to take the second and third steps, otherwise today's play will be in vain.

Mom let Xiao Dong into the house, and the title was from the original boss to Xiao Xiao, and then to the current Xiao Dong, progressive cordiality. still left people to eat, and she immediately went to the vegetable market to buy vegetables.

After my mother left, Xiao Dong and I were left in the room, and I couldn't help asking, "What the hell are you doing?" ”

Xiao Dong shrugged, leaned against the wall happily and said, "You didn't see what I said and did, why did you still come to ask me." ”

"When did I say I promised to associate with you?"

He blinked, looking innocent: "Didn't you just say yes in the hospital?" Since I brought it up, you didn't refute it in front of your mother and Zhou Yu, so you naturally admitted our relationship. ”

"But that's what you said you wanted to die and live, so let me wait."

He chuckled and walked towards me, stopping at a distance from me, "Xiaoru, you are lingering in the involvement with him, all I can do is to lend you a hand, but the choice lies with you, whether you want to live your original chaotic life, or want to get out of this quagmire." And although I am your senior and boss, and we have a good relationship, I can't help for nothing, and I always have to charge a little payment, for example, you promise to each other. ”

I gritted my teeth and was annoyed: "I retract my previous promise, and the ghost will believe you." ”

Xiao Dong stretched out his hand and forced me back into the corner, "Is it really necessary for him?" Even if he or his family hurts you deeply? What if I say that I put it to death and then be born to you, and it is also to me? You promised to associate with me and discuss marriage, to see what he Zhou Yu could do for you, if he retreated, then you could see it as soon as possible and withdraw; If he is really desperate for you, he will surely smooth out the knot of your divorce, and it will not be too late for you to reconcile with him. Anyway," he paused, looking at me word by word, "Give me a chance." ”

My whole body stiffened, and my face was full of horror as I reflected myself in my black eyes.

In this matter, when Xiao Dong mentioned it to me, he was rational and objective to analyze the stakes to me, so that I could see which choice was good and which was not, and I thought that feelings could not be rational, and they themselves were the product of impulse.

So even after Xiao Dong proposed to associate with me, I didn't think about anything else, thinking that he was neutralizing his own environment and mine, and chose an optimal common solution. This is the Xiao Dong I have always known, and he is terrifyingly sensible.

But at this moment, those black eyes did not hide their deep affection, and the rich affection seemed to be overflowing.

I've never seen Xiao Dong like this, even once or twice when I had dinner with him and his ex-girlfriend, it's still the same gentle face, but it's so imposing that I can't breathe.

Suddenly, he put his palm on top of my head, rubbed my head and said, "Promise me to think about it, okay?" Think about it for me, too. I'll pick you up from work tomorrow morning, wait for me, mygir1. Then he turned and walked to the hallway, slowly changing his shoes, and shutting the door for me as he left.

When my mother came back and saw that there was only one me in the living room, I couldn't help but ask where Xiao Dong went, I said that I had something to go, and my mother said very regretfully why was she in such a hurry, and she didn't stay to eat before leaving.

I was silent.

When it was time to eat, my mother talked about Xiao Dong again, and talked about his family very simply, his parents are retired teachers, and it is more than enough to receive a retirement salary every month to live, and they don't have to worry about their children.

I suddenly asked, "Mom, do you really like Xiao Dong so much?" ”

My mother was stunned by my question, and after coming back to her senses, she said: "You look good, your work is good, your family is simple, and your speech is lively, which is really very likable." ”

"But you've only known each other for a few days, and you think he's okay in every way?"

My mother replied: "What's the use of knowing each other for a long time, you can't see other people's thoughts." ”

I felt a prick in my heart, and I lowered my eyes and fell silent.

Mom said again: "Besides, it doesn't matter how many days I've known you, the main thing is that you have known each other for a long time, you have both worked together for a few years, and you also said that you will take good care of you at school, and you know better than anyone else whether your character is good or bad." ”

Xiao Dong's character is naturally good to me. But being able to work together does not mean that we can live together, nor does it mean that we have a deep understanding of him, just like the pressing eyes and gentle tone when he left just now, which are the other side of Xiao Dong that I have never been exposed to.

In the end, my mother said earnestly: "In short, it's you who makes the decision, and if you can't respond to others, you should stop early, don't drag, no matter who you are to." ”

I was shocked, was my mother's last sentence a pun?

When my mother walked into the kitchen with the dishes, I thought to myself that my mother's eyes were sharp.

Receiving a text message from Zhou Yu was expected, he asked: Don't go back to live here?

I typed back: Well, living with my mom can take care of me.

It took him a long time before he replied, just one word: Oh.

I stared at the word for a few seconds and closed the screen. At first I thought it was an illusion, but when I felt it again, I couldn't help but hold my breath. Carefully lifting his clothes, his slightly bulging belly slowly revealed in his sight, and a few centimeters to the left of his navel, a small bag was arched.

Surprised, without thinking about it, he opened his mobile phone and sent a message to Zhou Yu: moved.

Zhou Yu quickly replied: What moved?

I was so excited that my hands trembled: baby.

After that, Zhou Yu didn't have any information, but directly pressed the video connection. I swiped my fingers to connect, and soon his face appeared on the screen of the mobile phone, and I couldn't see if there was surprise in the dark eyes, so I only listened to his restrained tone of low order: "Let me see." ”

I pointed my phone to my stomach, just as the arched bag was slowly retracting and the other side was arching again.

Life is so wonderful, across the screen, through a layer of flesh and skin, it connects the three people.

Now Zhou Yu and I are like fools, just silently watching the baby's first fetal movement for five minutes before he slowly retracted his hands or feet, and his stomach returned to flat.

Pulling the screen back, it seemed that Zhou Yu had not recovered from the shock just now, and there was still a faint excitement in his eyes.

"Jia Xiaoru." He called me by name.

It was only then that I realized that I had behaved inappropriately just now, and that the distance I had obviously had shortened had been shortened again. In a panic, he directly pressed off and cut off the video connection with him.

He didn't ask for a connection again, he didn't text me, and the phone went silent.

All of a sudden, my heart was empty, like I couldn't step on the edge and couldn't exert my energy. The clothes on my stomach were still lifted there, slightly bulging, but they were also smooth and no longer arched, as if they were just my imagination.

I always felt that it was Zhou Yu's unilateral refusal to let go, and it was his insistence on participating in every moment of the baby's growth, but when it really came, I couldn't help but call him instinctively.

Am I actually hoping in my heart that the baby's father, the man I call Zhou Gongjin, will not miss anything related to the baby?
