He probably didn't want to tell me, so I shut up and stopped asking him.
"I brought crabs and some vegetables. I told Aa Nan to cook." Sheng Yun lightly said to me, then turned around and sat on the stone bench.
"I can't eat crabs when I'm pregnant, you guys can eat." I sat down and told him.
"It doesn't matter if you eat a little. I've already asked the doctor." Sheng Yun said lightly with a look of exhaustion.
I haven't seen him for over a month. The season has changed and we're all dressed a lot cooler. This time, Sheng Yun was no longer as passionate as before. His tone was indifferent and distant. From his eyes, he could no longer feel the uncontrollable love he had in the past.
Was his love fading away with the passage of time, or did his skill in hiding increase by another level? I don't know. All I know is that my heart was beating fast the moment he sat across from me and calmly peeled the crab.
Although I also appeared to be very light, that too rapid heartbeat, and the feeling of wanting to pay attention to him from time to time, couldn't fool me.
I admit that I do miss him a little.
This time, he was very respectful to me. He didn't have any physical contact with me, he didn't have the slightest trace of frivolity in his voice, he just asked about my condition, looked at my report, and then said to me, "I have something to do tonight, I'll be back in a while."
"Alright." My heart felt like it had been bitten by an ant.
You are afraid of it when he is too warm to you; but you are not used to him returning to being cold to you. Actually, isn't all of this your own choice?
I kowtowed to myself and tried to relax. I gave him a faint smile and then, without another word, prepared to enter the house.
He suddenly stopped me. "Did I leave that harmonica with you?"
So it turned out that he still remembered this matter.
"Mm, I put it in the drawer. I'll go get it for you." Trying to hide my feelings, I went upstairs, opened the drawer, and took the harmonica downstairs.
He was standing in the living room, waiting for me. When I handed him the harmonica, he took it in his hand and carefully wiped it with the piece of red silk. That look of being treasured, it really stung my eyes.
"It's not broken. I never touched it." I said sulkily.
"Thank you. This harmonica is very important to me. Thank you for keeping it for me."
"You're welcome."
"Do you want to hear me boast again?"
"No need, you should go back earlier. I'm tired, I want to rest."
I didn't look at him again. With a sense of disappointment, I turned and went upstairs. The moment I closed the door, my heart felt as if it had encountered a cold current, and had shrunk into a ball.
Perhaps, this kind of temperature was what should have been between us. I should be glad that he is no longer gentle, he can do it, I can do it, I believe I can do it.
I tried to make myself feel better, and to avoid letting my imagination run wild, I tried to give myself more things to do. Although Zhou Yihai insisted on not increasing my workload, but some things that I was able to do, I still took over as usual and contracted them all.
I remember once seeing an American movie. I had completely forgotten the name of the movie, but there was one scene in it that impressed me. The beginning of the movie was a woman with long chestnut hair and a cold face. She was wearing six armors, yet she still carried out very dangerous special tasks. Even when the pain came, she still felt it as she calmly and skillfully drove the car to defend the enemy … Even though I knew it was a movie exaggeration, I longed for the kind of woman who could walk fast and fast and not be stopped by anything, and I, Xu Shubei, couldn't do that, but I wanted to move as close as I could in that direction.
I didn't think of myself as a delicate pregnant woman. I still walked around the new office building in my high heels and my light makeup, as usual, but the pregnancy did cause me some inconvenience.
That day, I got off the elevator with a stack of documents in my arms. As I was about to walk out, my feet suddenly cramped and I almost fell over, scattering all the papers in my hands.
I wanted to crouch down and pick up the papers, but it was hard to bend over, and my feet were still cramping, so much so that I almost cried out in pain.
"Don't move, I'll help you." A crisp, clear male voice sounded in my ear, and before I could get a good look at his face, he was crouching on the floor, helping me pick up a piece of paper, placing it in the folder according to the serial number, and handing it to me.
When he raised his head, I was completely stunned, for the man's face was an unparalleled beauty, with the classical charm of an Oriental man, the depth of a half-breed in his eyes, and, above all, his face was surprisingly clean and his overall features flawless. Of all the men I've ever seen, only Sheng Yun's face was on par with this man. However, his face looked very warm, unlike Sheng Yun's. As long as he didn't smile, he would always give off a cold feeling.
"Lady?" He probably saw that I was stunned, so he smiled at me and motioned for me to pick up the folder in his hand.
Only then did I realize that he was still crouching on the ground. I quickly recovered and took the folder. I hurriedly said to him, "Thank you, thank you so much."
"You're welcome, it's no big deal." His voice was fresh and sweet, like the scent of grass after a rain.
I smiled and said, "I'm really grateful. I'm pregnant, so I can't squat down. Luckily, you passed here."
"It's fine, don't mention it." He smiled faintly and put his hands into his pockets.
The atmosphere was awkward, and we looked at each other and laughed again. He must have felt the awkwardness, so he said to me, "Where are you going?"
"I need to send this document to the Bureau of Science and Technology." I smiled and asked him, "What about you? Are you planning to go out too? "
"Yes, I'm heading for the city center as well. I can take you along the way." he said with a smile, and made a gesture of invitation to me.
I could have driven it myself, but I didn't know why, at that moment, I said, "Okay, then I'll have to trouble you."
"No worries, I was just on the way." He laughed again.
Not only was he handsome, but his smile was also so beautiful. I almost became infatuated again, so I quickly reminded myself to remain calm. He's going to be a mother soon, what's wrong with me?!
As he strode in front of me, I noticed that he was unusually tall, about 183, and that his body looked well-built and slender. As he walked, his shoulders moved slightly, as if he had been trained as a male model and was well-dressed, and as I walked behind him, I could not help but guess his identity.
Ever since moving to this new office area, it has been a daily occurrence of IT workers carrying large backpacks, workshop workers in overalls, or well-dressed, hurrying middle and upper management. Judging by his temperament, he is definitely not a member of this group, but if he is a shareholder, then I have seen him for the most part.
Just as I was imagining things, he suddenly stopped in his tracks. I accidentally bumped into him.
The glass door was in front of him, and he stopped because someone had pushed the door in. As I bumped into him, he took a step back, and I fell back, all of a sudden, and I cried out in alarm!
However, just when my mind was still in a state of shock, my hands were pulled by two people at the same time, forcefully pulling me up.
"Are you okay?"
I heard two voices in unison, one of them, and I heard it as familiar.
It wasn't easy for me to stabilize myself. When I finally saw the scene in front of me clearly, I noticed that Sheng Yun was also standing in front of me. Both of my hands were tightly held by Sheng Yun and that man.
I was stunned. This kind of situation really caught me off guard. When I finally regained my balance, I quickly shook off their grip and rearranged my messy hair.
At this moment, I heard Sheng Yun suddenly say: "Ziqian? Why are you here? "
