Chapter 100 [How did you know it was your daughter?]
Hello, senior sister, my name is Xiao Yi.
Hearing this inexplicably familiar sentence, Su Yunqing's distracted eyes gradually gained a little more focus. Looking at the bright-smiling junior in front of her, in a daze, she seemed to have seen the scene a year ago.
It was a spring when the grass was growing and the orioles were flying.
She finished her dance practice and returned to the dormitory with her roommates as usual.
But just as she was passing through the tree-lined path between the dormitory buildings, an uninvited guest appeared in front of her.
He was a freshman who looked immature, but his behavior was not immature at all. He walked up to Su Yunqing seriously, with a smile on his face, and said these words.
"Hello, senior sister, my name is Xiao Yi."
As expected, this move did not attract Su Yunqing's personal attention. After all, she was already tired of all kinds of suitors.
After giving the junior student a cold glance, Su Yunqing continued walking towards the dormitory without stopping.
But what she didn't expect was that after that surprising glimpse, this little boy would appear at the door of her dance room regardless of rain or shine, as if he was possessed.
after that…………
Looking away, Su Yunqing said nothing, turned and walked towards the living room.
She sat cross-legged on the sofa, watching the non-nutritious international news on the TV screen with a calm face.
Seeing this, Xiao Yi's smile did not diminish. He walked to the living room, put the package he brought on the coffee table, and then opened it carefully.
"Senior sister, these are your favorite candied fruits, and Su Zhai's roasted chestnuts with osmanthus sugar."
"By the way, before I came here, my aunt asked me to bring you some pastries that she made by herself. My aunt said that you liked these sweets the most when you were a child."
Su Yunqing was unmoved by Xiao Yi's behavior. She seemed not to have heard a word of it at all, and she never looked away from the TV.
Xiao Yi was not discouraged. He placed the cakes on the coffee table, then picked up the apron hanging by the kitchen and wrapped it around his waist and walked into the kitchen.
After a while, the sound of clinking tableware came from the kitchen.
When Zhao Yaxin came back from outside, she saw a very strange scene.
Su Yunqing sat cross-legged on the sofa quietly as usual and watched TV, while Xiao Yi wore an apron and was busy in the kitchen like a househusband.
Zhao Yaxin was a little surprised.
He's back so soon?
And when will he cook?
Besides, why does this picture look so inconsistent?
After thinking about it for a moment, Zhao Yaxin also understood Xiao Yi's purpose, and then gently shook her head.
He was not sure whether Xiao Yi's actions had any effect, but in her opinion, whether they had any effect was one thing, and whether to do it or not was another matter.
After putting the food in the refrigerator, Zhao Yaxin did not go to the kitchen to help, but stayed with Yun Qing and watched TV with her.
About half an hour later, Xiao Yi's voice came from the kitchen.
"Wash your hands and you can eat soon."
Hearing the voice, Su Yunqing stood up expressionlessly, and then walked towards the bedroom.
Just at this moment, Xiao Yi came out of the kitchen carrying dishes and saw this scene.
He forced a smile without making a sound, and still brought the dishes from the kitchen to the table in an orderly manner.
With a sigh in her heart, Zhao Yaxin glanced at Xiao Yi, and then followed Yun Qing into the bedroom.
A few minutes later, Zhao Yaxin walked out.
Looking at the expression on her face, Xiao Yi already knew the result, and he said softly.
"Let's eat first. I haven't made it a few times, so I don't know if it's to your liking."
"After you finish eating, go and make some for Yunqing."
After a hum, Zhao Yaxin didn't say anything more, picked up the bowl and chopsticks and started eating slowly.
She saw Yunqing's reaction, and she expected Xiao Yi's disapproval.
Suffering such a series of blows can no longer be described in terms of forgiveness, and the trauma in my heart cannot be easily repaid with a meal or two and some compensation.
Once a crack appears, it is much more difficult for a girl like Yunqing to heal than for ordinary girls.
However, Xiao Yi did not feel discouraged. He was already prepared for a protracted battle.
He owed Yun Qing too much before.
Even though she didn't forgive herself in the end, this period of time was regarded as a way to make up for her previous negligence.
At least I feel a lot better.
During the dinner, Xiao Yi looked at Zhao Yaxin and asked.
"Yaxin, how did you rent this apartment before? Did you contact the landlord directly or find an agency online?"
After hearing this, Zhao Yaxin got up and walked into the bedroom, then came out with a bunch of keys.
"I rented the room next door for you yesterday."
"It would be better if you lived next door."
"There are only two rooms in this house, and you are not suitable to live with me under Yunqing's nose. Besides, Yunqing is not happy to see you at the moment. You live next door, and it is true that you come here occasionally.
It's better than you staying in this room all the time."
After saying that, Zhao Yaxin handed the room key to Xiao Yi.
Xiao Yi didn't say anything to express his gratitude. As far as Yaxin was concerned, there was no need for them to be so open to each other.
After eating, Xiao Yi glanced at the direction of Su Yunqing's bedroom, then picked up his luggage and went to the next door.
The overall decoration style of the room next door is almost the same as that of Yunqing's house, with the same two bedrooms, one living room, one kitchen, one bathroom and one balcony.
In New York, where land is at a premium, the rent for such an apartment is already a huge sum, so the security of the entire apartment building is quite good.
Although New York is an international metropolis, it does not mean that the city is safe.
In this city with all kinds of people, there is also countless dirt hidden under the luxurious appearance.
Wherever there are people, there is society, and when there is society, there is bound to be chaos.
Especially racial discrimination, which is too normal in this beautiful country.
After washing, Xiao Yi lay on the bed and began to think about the arrangements for the next period of time.
It is inevitable to accompany Yun Qing, but during this period, Xiao Yi will not appear in front of her every step of the way.
Her heart is still open, and she is mentally unstable. Xiao Yi hanging around in front of her may have the opposite effect.
There is another thing, and that is the three-body problem.
Currently, the filming location for The Three-Body Problem has come to the beautiful country, but it is not in New York but in Los Angeles. Xiao Yi will also go there when he has free time.
Adjani also called him many times to urge him on this matter.
As the largest shareholder of Three-Body Pictures, Xiao Yi has not appeared on the set since the movie started filming.
Before, he could use the excuse that he needed to go to school, but now that summer vacation was over and he was in the same country, it would be unreasonable for Xiao Yi not to go there again.
The filming period for the first movie in the Three-Body Universe was not long, but there were many filming locations. In addition to the United Kingdom, there were filming locations for the Three-Body Problem in beautiful countries, Xia Kingdom, Indonesia and other places.
The filming progress is currently more than half-way, and it is planned to be released during the Spring Festival this year.
Amidst the chaos of thoughts, Xiao Yi slowly fell into sleep.
…………
It was almost three o'clock in the afternoon when I woke up from a nap.
After getting up and washing up, Xiao Yi came to the room next door.
After pressing the doorbell, Zhao Yaxin yawned and opened the door after a while.
Look up.
Su Yunqing was sitting on a chair on the balcony, staring at the artificial lake outside the window in a daze, turning a blind eye to Xiao Yi's arrival.
She has been in this state these days.
He didn't talk much and didn't eat much. He either slept in the bedroom or sat on the balcony watching the world outside.
After Xiao Yi arrived, he didn't make a sound to disturb her. He just sat on the sofa in the living room and talked quietly to Zhao Yaxin.
In this way, three days passed.
In the past three days, Xiao Yi rarely left the apartment.
When he wakes up in the morning, he will go sit next door for a while, then after lunch, he will go back to his room to sleep. At night, it will be the same as during the day.
He has been learning to cook these days, and his cooking skills have improved a lot, but Yunqing has never eaten a bite of the food he cooked, and will still answer Xiao Yi's occasional questions.
It seemed that he had really been treated as a stranger.
After all, ordinary people will still reply with a few words when asked by strangers, but it is absolutely impossible for you to eat food cooked by strangers.
Zhao Yaxin saw all this and had no other choice but to feel uncomfortable in her heart.
She felt aggrieved for Yunqing's experience, and at the same time felt sorry for Xiao Yi's forced smile.
Xiao Yi enjoyed it very much and did not feel that he had been left out at all.
………………
………………
Another round of bright moon is hanging high.
It is said that the moon in foreign countries is rounder.
But standing by the window, looking at the bright moon above his head, for some reason, Xiao Yi always felt that this bright moon was much dimmer than the moon in Suzhou.
Shaking his head and sighing, Xiao Yi dialed Su Yunqing's phone number.
After the phone rang for about twenty seconds, a joyful voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Xiao Yi~"
"Are you awake? Did it disturb you to rest?"
Listening to this affectionate voice, Xiao Yi's heart couldn't help but soften.
"I woke up a long time ago. Do you think I'm a pig? It's already nine o'clock in the morning."
Suzhou thousands of miles away.
In a simple yet warm bedroom, Su Yunqing was leaning on the bed with a happy smile on her face.
There is nothing happier than waking up and receiving a call from your sweetheart.
Naturally, Su Yunqing's tone also contained a hint of coquettishness.
Ever since she became pregnant, Su Yunqing always felt as if she had become a different person. When getting along with others, she no longer had the indifference of being distant from others. She would often laugh inexplicably by herself. She didn't know why, but she always laughed.
If you feel that things are going well, you will be very happy.
It is said that once you are pregnant, you will be stupid for three years. Su Yunqing wondered if her brain had become less bright because of her pregnancy.
But she enjoys her current situation very much.
Let her have a real sense of living in the world.
"How has your sleep quality been these past few days? Did you enjoy the food cooked by your aunt?"
"Oh, I'm not a child. Don't worry, I won't wrong your daughter."
With a brisk smile on her lips, Su Yunqing joked.
"How do you know it's a daughter? What if it's a son?"
After hearing this, Xiao Yi made a joke.
"It must be my daughter. How can a son be so well-behaved?"
"It's already this time. If my son would have kicked me in the stomach, only a daughter would be so quiet."
These words couldn't help but make Xiao Yi burst into laughter.
He had been panicking about Su Yunqing's pregnancy before and could not accept the fact. He even had the idea of asking Su Yunqing to abort the child.
After all, he is still young and not ready to be a father at all.
But after these few months, Xiao Yi and Yun Qing were chatting about the child naturally, and Xiao Yi suddenly felt that this feeling was actually wonderful.
He even looked forward to the birth of this new life.
The young couple chatted sweetly for a few words, Xiao Yi hung up the phone, and then called Qingyi.
However, Qingyi was in class at Chaozhou at this time and couldn't chat for long, so she just said a few words and hurriedly put down the phone.
Xiao Yi then kicked his cell phone into his pocket and went back to his room to rest.
A night of silence.
…………
The next day was still the same day.
But at night, Su Yunqing suddenly proposed to go for a walk by the lake on a whim.
Upon hearing the news, Zhao Yaxin was naturally overjoyed.
This is the first time Yunqing has said that she wants to go out for a walk in half a month since she came to New York.
This is undoubtedly a good sign for her current state.
When Su Yunqing went out for a walk, Xiao Yi was naturally worried about the two of them going out, and naturally followed him.
Su Yunqing didn't say anything about Xiao Yi following her.
…………
The lake in the city is adjacent to Ellie Street.
At this time, the night has darkened, but there are still many tourists enjoying the cool weather by the lake.
Although this artificial lake has an overly industrial atmosphere, it is still one of the few places nearby that is worth visiting.
The cool night breeze with moist water vapor blows against my face, and a feeling of relaxation and joy arises spontaneously.
Along the long street, Su Yunqing and Zhao Yaxin walked quietly side by side, with Xiao Yi hanging about two meters behind them.
After sitting on a bench by the lake for a while, Su Yunqing suddenly pointed to the lookout on the other side of the lake and whispered softly.
"Yaxin, let's go there for a walk?"
Zhao Yaxin naturally had no objection. She glanced at Xiao Yi, who was squatting under a street lamp not far away, kicking stones boredly and whispered.
"Then let's go and get back quickly. The doctor said you can't stay up late these days."
"Ok, I know."
Nodding, Su Yunqing tightened the coat around her body and stood up.
To go to the other side of the lake, you have to go through an underground passage of about 200 meters.
Perhaps it is due to the disrepair of the underground passage, or the inaction of some departments. The smell in the underground passage is not good, the lights are flickering, and from time to time, you can still see people huddled in the corner covered with dirty clothes.
A beggar holding a blanket and begging for passers-by.
Seeing this scene, Xiao Yi couldn't help but get closer to Yun Qing.
(The next chapter is probably everyone’s favorite episode.)
(A certain scumbag is about to be chopped down.)
(By the way, please give me some votes. It would be great if I can get more than 1,000 votes this month. Thank you all.)
