Xia Xue's belly is getting bigger day by day. The fetus in the womb is lively and active, and sometimes interacts with Xia Xue in the middle of the night.

Especially in thunderstorms, the fetus does not know whether he is curious about the movement of the outside world, or feels that the rumbling thunder is terrifying, and he will move frequently in the womb of Xia Xue.

Xia Xue had no choice but to gently stroke his abdomen and whisper to him not to be afraid, it was raining thunderstorms outside. The fetus seemed to be able to understand Xia Xue's words, and after a while, it would be completely quiet, as if it was asleep.

The people in the town come from all over the world, so they are very inclusive and respectful of the privacy of others. Although people here will not speculate and talk about other people's private lives for no reason, Xia Xue can feel that everyone is full of curiosity about her.

Leng Zhong is kind and enthusiastic about helping others in this small town, so he gets along very well with his neighbors. At first, everyone thought that Xia Xue was a cold and loyal woman, and what she was carrying in her belly must be a cold and loyal child. Later, they were surprised to learn that Xia Xue was just Leng Zhong's ordinary friend.

yes, can you not think Xia Xue is strange? It is incomprehensible for a pregnant woman to live with another man instead of her husband.

What is even more incredible is that a pregnant woman left her country alone, not hesitating to leave her homeland. In everyone's hearts, it seems that Xia Xue must have encountered an unimaginable predicament, so she pushed herself into a difficult and isolated situation.

Only Jacques asked Xia Xue bluntly, is it Leng Zhong's girlfriend? Xia Xue denied it and told her bluntly, saying that she was just an ordinary friend of Leng Zhong. As a result, Jacques did not ask a similar question again. The kind-hearted headmistress never asked about Xia Xue's private affairs, and did not put any pressure and trouble on Xia Xue.

Xia Xue often looks at the moon in a foreign country in the middle of the night, melancholy and confused. One of her unavoidable questions is that after the child is born, if the child asks where his father is? So how should Xia Xue answer? Is it telling the truth, or is it weaving a cute lie? Xia Xue didn't want to use deception to treat anyone, let alone her own children. So, how should she tell the truth to her child?

So how to tell a child who doesn't know the world about the tangled and chaotic past? Even if Xia Xue can explain clearly, the child is so young, will he understand the disputes between adults?

Also, when the child grows up day by day, will Xia Xue let the child hide in this town for the rest of his life? If the child walks out of the town in the future, then it is possible that he will be found by the Xue family. When the time comes, how should Xia Xue face Xiaozhi?

These problems are like a mess, and it is impossible to sort them out. I want to straighten it out, but I can't find a clue. I want to forget, to become clearer in my memory.

The past is unbearable, just like a river flowing eastward. What has been done is irretrievable, like a history that is difficult to erase. I just want to work hard to correct myself in the days to come, and strive not to make mistakes impulsively.

In the afternoon of this day, after having a simple lunch at school, Jacques accompanied Xia Xue out of the school gate and went for a walk on the hillside of the town.

The air is cold and thin, and when you speak, you will emit a white mist. The eyelashes were wet and hung with a faint layer of hoarfrost.

Jacques accompanied Xia Xue to walk slowly, deliberately slowing down, lest Xia Xue not be able to keep up with his pace. They climbed the hill and walked aimlessly.

It was a light day, and they were all wearing thick coats, cashmere scarves, and hats to protect their ears, so they didn't feel cold. As I walked, I actually felt that my body was starting to get hot, and my palms began to sweat slightly.

Xia Xue, can I ask you a question? You can not answer. Jacques walked beside Xia Xue, looked at Xia Xue's slightly sad eyes, and asked.

Well, you ask, what's the problem? Xia Xue looked up at Jacques, but she had already guessed seven or eight points in her heart.

Xia Xue, you are in this town, does the child's father know? Jacques looked at Xia Xue curiously.

Xia Xue paused before speaking. He didn't know I was here, I came to town with that man on my back. Moreover, I never want to see that person again in my life.

Oh, I see, I guess there may be a conflict between you and the father of the child. Otherwise, a lovely and beautiful woman like you, which man would be willing to let you run so far with a big belly? Father of the child, do you love you? Is he bad for you?

Xia Xue pondered for a while and said. The father of the child, loves me very much, he treats me very well. It's just that his love for me is hard for me to accept, and I want to find myself again. In addition to this, there have been some other feuds between me and him, or rather, between me and his family. I did some wrong things that didn't go too far, because I hated his family and took revenge. But today, I realized my stupidity. But the big mistake has been made, and I have no power to return to the sky, but it is difficult to face it, so I have to sneak out.

Jacques, gazing at Xia Xue for a long time, seemed to be looking at a mysterious labyrinth. Thank you, Xia Xue, for telling me these private things. It's not that I don't know how to respect the privacy of others, but I have too much curiosity about you in my heart, and if I don't say it, it's very uncomfortable to hold it in my heart. From the first time I saw you, I could feel that you were a woman with a story. Your eyes are as pure as water, but there is a faint sadness in your eyes. Even in your happiest moments, that bleak layer of sadness lingers.

Xia Xue looked at Jacques with a sincere face and smiled. Jacques, you and the Headmaster are both people I can trust, so I have no scruples about you, and I am willing to tell the secrets of my heart. In my life, I never want to see the father of my child again. I want to be in this town, lonely and never want to leave.

Jacques asked, frowning. Xia Xue, are you married to the child's father? If you are a couple, are you divorced now?

Xia Xue looked into the distance blankly, and shook her head helplessly. The father and I of the child are married, husband and wife. Now, there are no divorce procedures. I didn't marry him voluntarily. Later, I asked him for a divorce, but he didn't agree.

Jacques looked at Xia Xue in bewilderment, his face full of confusion. Xia Xue, I really don't understand you, since you don't want to be together, why can't you break up peacefully? Since this marriage is wrong, why does that man still hold on to you and not let go? Oh, I kind of get it, maybe it's because that man loves you so much that he doesn't allow you to get away from him. That man must be very domineering, very powerful, and tough! Look, I can't even find the words to describe him. However, if you do not end your marriage, how can you start a new life in the future?

Xia Xue smiled bitterly and said. I don't want to touch the emotion thing anymore, I just want to pull the child up alone and watch him grow up. This town, for me, is like a beautiful fairytale kingdom, and every day is like living in a relaxing dream. So, I am very satisfied in my heart and will not have any regrets.

Jacques frowned, lost in deep thought. But, Xia Xue, will your husband be as lonely as you? If he is an excellent and healthy man, how can he endure long-term loneliness and longing? If there is another woman who truly loves him by his side, then what will you do? Are you willing to lose him like this, and let him start a new life with another woman?

Xia Xue said heavily, I hope he can start a new life, I am willing. By his side, there was a Japanese girl who loved him deeply, and she was still unmarried, and she was willing to stay for him for the rest of her life. The girl, Haruko, was very beautiful and cute, and she was a very young girl. But he has always refused to accept Haruko's feelings.

Jacques' eyes, looking at Xia Xue in surprise, shimmered with a profound light. Wow, Xia Xue, your husband must be a handsome guy, otherwise how could he attract a little girl like that? Okay, Xia Xue, I've asked enough questions, and I won't spy on your private life again in the future. I hope you won't be angry with me, I'm really too curious and curious about you, I like women with stories, and I can't help but explore the mystery.

Xia Xue smiled, didn't speak, and walked straight forward. They crossed a wooded path and walked past a row of houses, only to see a group of people standing at the bottom of a staircase, laughing at each other and looking up at the top of the staircase.

Xia Xue approached curiously and saw a chubby young man sweeping the stairs with a broom on his face embarrassed. Looking closely, it's strange, how can the stairs be covered with bottle caps? The man who was cleaning the stairs humbly bent down to clean the bottle caps on the floor, sweeping the stairs one by one, and his forehead was soaked with beads of sweat.

What made Xia Xue even more puzzled was that when the man finally cleaned up all the bottle caps, a few children ran over and spread countless bottle caps on the steps. The people who were watching at the bottom of the stairs burst into violent laughter, and the man sweeping the floor shrugged his shoulders helplessly, not annoyed.

Xia Xue couldn't guess what was going on? She looked back at Jacques with a confused face.

Jacques laughs and tells Xia Xue that the neighbor moved from Germany and has a very interesting tradition in their local area. If someone is still single at the age of 30, then he will be punished by relatives and friends on his birthday. Relatives and friends will choose any noisy location, deliberately cover the garbage prepared in advance, and then order the single young man to clean up the garbage. The timing and difficulty of punishment depend on the mood of relatives and friends. If at this time, a single young man of the opposite sex comes to hug and kiss, and the game will end there.

When Xia Xue heard this, she began to pray for the young man, hoping that a lovely girl would come and hug him soon. After a while, there was a beautiful blonde girl running up the steps and hugging the single man tightly. The people next to him applauded and celebrated.

Jacques said mysteriously in Xia Xue's ear. In fact, the friends of the opposite sex who suddenly came were all arranged in advance by relatives and friends, which was equivalent to a blind date in Xia Xue's hometown.

Xia Xue smiled and asked Jacques, how do you know so much about my hometown?

Jacques smiled embarrassedly and said, "Because I'm so curious about you, of course I want to know more about your hometown."

It's not easy to be a man, but fortunately we are women, so we don't have to worry about being punished for being single. Xia Xue looked at the man and woman who hugged him with great satisfaction, and said with deep gratification.

Jacques patted Xia Xue on the shoulder and said. No, Xia Xue, you were happy too early. According to the custom of this neighbor's hometown, a single woman will not only clean up the garbage on her 30th birthday, but also be punished by relatives and friends in advance at the age of 25. In German folk proverbs, a 25-year-old single woman is called an "old box", so on her 25th birthday, relatives and friends will string empty cigarette boxes, chocolate boxes, etc., into a large string and hang them outside her house.

The young female companions who were watching let out a wry smile when they heard Jacques's introduction. Self-deprecating that if you want to be a happy single, it's really hard to move an inch, and you will encounter marriage urging wherever you go!

Jacques laughed good-naturedly at the girls and said, "Then hurry up and send out a date invitation to the single lads in town!" Don't wait until the day you are urged to marry to regret it!

The crowd of onlookers gradually dispersed. Jacques gently hugged Xia Xue's shoulders and continued to walk forward.

Xia Xue said with great interest, in my hometown, every New Year's holiday, single men and women will be urged to marry by family members and friends. I really didn't expect that in other countries, there is also such a thing as urging marriage! If you can't find an ideal partner in this life, it is better to live a simple and happy life alone.

Jacques laughed. I heard from the neighbor that in order to encourage young people to get married, their hometown has issued the highest "single tax" in the European Union for single people. Single office workers pay about 39.6% payroll tax, but married families only pay 21% payroll tax. In some areas, local newlyweds will even be given a certain area of land or real estate for free, and wedding gift packages containing vouchers from major supermarkets will be given for free. Thinking about these "soft and hard" marriage urging policies, will singles still not be tempted?

Xia Xue said solemnly. Whether you are married or single, it is a personal preference. Family forms have long tended to be diversified, two-parent families, single-parent families, and single-parent families, which are all one of the various family forms. It doesn't matter what the form is, it's the individual's sense of identity that matters.

Jacques smiled approvingly. Well said, simple and happy, warm and comfortable, making life fulfilling, meaningful, such a family is a veritable family! Otherwise, those families who have no real name, seek perfection, and struggle to support are actually empty family frameworks.
