On the evening of Friday, Lou Xi and Zuo Lingfeng left the military camp together, carrying a Land Rover and a Lexus. They were obviously along the way, but they insisted on driving their own cars and "disdained" to go with each other.
This is a very weird psychology. Although the past grievances and resentments are over, the two of them are still awkward. It's not that they don't like each other, but they are still a little unhappy.
The combined age of the two men is over fifty, but sometimes their childishness makes people laugh.
The car drove out of the military camp and onto the narrow one-way road. Lou Xi and Zuo Lingfeng both wanted to get ahead of each other and stepped on the accelerator at the same time. The level of competition was comparable to F1.
But at the critical moment, Lou Xi's cell phone suddenly rang.
As soon as he was distracted, Zuo Lingfeng seized the opportunity and the Lexus rushed in front of the Land Rover.
Lou Xi was very annoyed. He put the earphones into his ears with one hand and said in a harsh tone, "Hello?"
On the other end of the phone, Lou Hua was startled, patted his chest, and said with lingering fear, "Second brother, it's me!"
"What's the matter?" Lou Xi's attitude is still the same, something is definitely up to him!
Lou Hua immediately smiled flatteringly, "Second brother, I have agreed with my second sister-in-law that I will go to your house to have dinner in the evening! Can you come to the newspaper office to pick me up?"
What?
Lou Xi frowned subconsciously. Not only did he go to his house to have a meal, but he also needed a car to pick him up and drop him off? Was she using her brother and sister-in-law as servants?
"No! You can barely eat, but you can take a taxi there yourself!" He refused.
"Oh, second brother, don't be so stingy! You're on your way anyway, right? Taking a taxi is so expensive!" Lou Hua touched his shriveled wallet while talking on the phone.
In fact, her mother was opposed to her coming to the "Military Daily" for an internship. She wanted her to stay in Jinan after graduation. But because of her father's relationship, everyone in the N Military Region knew her. She felt that no matter how good she performed, she would not be accepted by others.
They all thought that she was relying on her family background or something, so she insisted on coming to Yunchuan alone, so her mother was cruel and cut off her living expenses, trying to force her to obey.
But she is not so easy to give up. She is paid for her internship, although it is really small. But it doesn't matter, she still has royalties, although this month's royalties haven't been paid yet. So, she is about to run out of ammunition and food. In order to save money,
In line with the principle of saving, it is a matter of course to have a meal plus a car.
"Second brother, please! Besides, I don't just eat and drink for free, I can also make some contribution. After dinner, I will help you, my second sister-in-law, and Sisi take a family photo!"
Family photo?
Lou Xi couldn't help but think of the photo Li Yi took of their family of three in the canteen of the Special Forces Brigade when he and Xingchen had just gotten married, and his heart suddenly softened.
In the blink of an eye, so much time has passed, the little girl has grown up a lot, and it’s time to take a new picture.
"Okay." He agreed.
"Thank you, second brother! I will help you say more nice things in front of second sister-in-law! I..."
Lou Xi didn't listen to her nagging and hung up the phone directly.
When he raised his eyes again, the Lexus in front of him came into view, and he felt depressed and unwilling again.
After thinking about it, I pressed the horn.
Drop - drop -
Hearing the sound, Zuo Lingfeng was also very unhappy. He lowered the window and slightly stuck his head out, looking like "What are you doing?"
Lou Xi said with a straight face and a bad tone, "Xingchen wants you to come back with me for dinner!"
Seeing his unhappy look, Zuo Lingfeng had no doubts, and since he didn't finish his meal last time, it was normal for him to make up for it this time, so he snorted softly, "I know!"
Close the window and continue driving.
Lou Xi's handsome appearance remained unchanged for nearly a minute, and then he slowly raised the corners of his mouth into a mischievous smile, with a calculating look.
During the next journey, he deliberately slowed down the car and was left far behind by Zuo Lingfeng.
Zuo Lingfeng in front noticed it, but didn't care, thinking that he was not happy for him to go to their house for dinner, so he drove forward.
The two cars drove slowly into the city, one behind the other. At a certain intersection, Lou Xi quietly turned a corner, arrived in front of the newspaper office, picked up Lou's painting, then stepped on the accelerator, and drove quickly towards his home.
Zuo Lingfeng was naturally one step ahead, but not much faster. As soon as he parked his car, he saw Lou Xi's Land Rover also drive into the community.
As soon as the car stopped, the passenger door opened first, and a slender figure immediately caught his eye.
Is it her again?
She was still dressed simply today, wearing a colorful striped hoodie on the upper body, light blue jeans on the lower body, the legs of the trousers were deliberately ragged, and a pair of beautiful and simple canvas shoes on her feet.
He couldn't help but remember that after she caught the thief that day, she deliberately kicked him again.
Ah……
He laughed secretly.
However, she also came to eat, how could it be such a coincidence?
His sharp black eyes narrowed slightly.
At the same time, Lou Hua also saw Zuo Lingfeng, his eyes widened instantly, and his steps subconsciously stopped.
No, is it him again?
The two people looked at each other, and the atmosphere was a bit subtle.
Thanks to Lou Xi, Lou Hua and Zuo Lingfeng met again.
Zuo Lingfeng lowered his eyes and regained his usual composure. After all, the psychological quality of a sniper is not something that ordinary people can compare to.
But Lou Hua couldn't do it anymore. When she thought about the embarrassing things she had done before, she felt ashamed and wished she could lose her memory.
She had the urge to turn around and go back, but after touching her belly and her wallet, she decided to continue eating.
A person who has been eating instant noodles for five days cannot afford to be hurt!
She couldn't help but regret that day in the coffee shop, why she had spent so much money and bought two cups of coffee for nothing, which was a hundred yuan! One hundred yuan could at least give her a few days of lunch, right?
Well, having said that, if she didn't treat her to that meal, she wouldn't feel at ease. Although she couldn't compensate Ling Shaotang for having a girlfriend, she could still afford to treat her to a cup of coffee. As the saying goes, if you dare, dare to act!
As for her current "poverty", it was entirely her fault. Who made her so impulsive at that time? So, impulsiveness is the devil! She can never be impulsive again!
Lou Hua groaned in his heart, then walked on ant steps behind the two "attractive men" and went upstairs to eat.
But after eating the meal, the atmosphere is really as weird as it is weird.
Only Lou Xi ate very well.
After the meal, Lou Hua wanted to take a family photo for them, but Zuo Lingfeng was there and lent her another courage. She didn't have the courage to take the camera again. He must have seen the special feature in that issue. If she was in front of him again
Taking pictures, he might think that she wants to secretly take pictures of him again! Then there will be no use even jumping into the Dead Sea, let alone jumping into the Yellow River to wash away!
"Then I won't give it away." Lou Xi said very "politely", meaning that you are still not leaving after eating? How long do you want to delay the reunion of our family of three?
Lou Hua quickly picked up the camera and said goodbye. She didn't have time to eat the fruit that Ye Xingchen prepared for her, so she just packed it up and took it away. It's better for the second sister-in-law! The second brother is really lucky!
Zuo Lingfeng also left afterwards.
The two went out one after another, and then took the elevator downstairs together.
As soon as Zuo Lingfeng stepped into the elevator, he noticed a small puddle of water on the ground. Small bottles of drinks were thrown in the corner. It was unknown where a child was throwing rubbish.
He walked around the puddle of water and stood on a dry place.
The confined space was very quiet. Through the glass mirror, Lou Hua secretly glanced at the man beside her. If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she really wouldn't have known that he was such a powerful sniper and such a personable person.
The business tycoon is pretty much the same!
The two people's eyes suddenly met in the mirror. Zuo Lingfeng noticed that she was peeking at him and looked back calmly. Lou Hua immediately turned his head and pretended to study the advertisement on the elevator wall.
suddenly--
The elevator swayed for a moment, and the fluorescent lights flashed. The two of them looked at the ceiling in unison, and then they heard a "click" sound, something was stuck, the lights flashed, and the elevator fell into darkness.
"Earthquake?" Lou Hua exclaimed subconsciously.
Zuo Lingfeng couldn't laugh or cry. Is the elevator malfunctioning?
Although his claustrophobia was somewhat relieved after treatment, it was not completely cured, so he was still a little out of breath.
However, he could barely hold on for a while. He endured the discomfort and touched the elevator control panel. He was about to ring the bell for help when he suddenly heard an "ah" sound behind him.
It turned out that Lou Hua stepped on the puddle of water on the ground, her feet slipped, and her body staggered to the point of falling. Zuo Lingfeng supported her in time. In the darkness, he felt a soft body rushing towards him, and the corner of his lips was still
I encountered two soft pieces.
Well……
Both of them were startled.
Kiss again!
Although Lou Hua couldn't see anything, he still opened his eyes wide in shock. As for the aftertaste of the scream, it had long since disappeared and dissipated in his mouth.
Zuo Lingfeng began to sweat on his forehead and felt difficulty breathing, but he didn't know whether it was because his illness was about to attack or because they kissed each other.
Hua Hua——
The fluorescent light flashed a few more times, then came back on.
After regaining their vision, the two locked eyes and were so close that they could see themselves in each other's pupils.
Lou Hua was stunned for a second, and suddenly realized that the two of them were too close. He quickly stepped away and said with a blush, "Yes, I'm sorry..."
Wow, she "forcibly kissed" him again!
Zuo Lingfeng pursed his lips, her sweet breath seemed to still linger on them, and he felt a little absent-minded for a moment.
The elevator quickly resumed operation. After a "ding" sound, the elevator reached the first floor. As soon as the door opened, Lou Hua hurriedly escaped as if he had a guilty conscience.
Zuo Lingfeng couldn't help but chuckle when he saw her stumbling around, running around like a little rabbit. He raised his hand and touched his lips, which was a bit unforgettable.

Time flies, the calendar turns over page after page, and a certain weekend arrives again.
This week, Lou Xi couldn't come back because of something in the army.
"Ugh..." Ye Xingchen woke up early in the morning and felt nauseous. But he ran to the bathroom, but couldn't vomit anything.
After a while, she slowly calmed down and rinsed her mouth. Although she still felt uncomfortable, she smiled weakly in the mirror.
Her aunt is not here this month, maybe she is!
But I'm not sure yet, I have to go for a test.
Although she has a day off today, judging from the current situation, she needs to go to the hospital immediately.
But what should Sisi do when she goes to the hospital? Although the kindergarten can provide daycare services on Saturdays and Sundays, the little girl is still asleep at the moment, and she is reluctant to wake her up.
After thinking for a while, he dialed Lou Hua's number, "Hua Hua, are you free in a moment? Can you come over and help me take care of Sisi?"
"Okay, no problem!" Lou Hua readily agreed, and half an hour later, he came to the door with his notebook.
"Second sister-in-law, where are you going?"
Ye Xingchen hesitated for a moment, but still didn't dare to tell the truth. He wasn't sure yet, so he found an excuse and hesitated, "Uh... one of my colleagues is getting married, and I'm going to attend the wedding."
"Well, then you go quickly. Don't worry, Sisi is left to me!" Lou Hua said with promise, and then carried the notebook into the children's room.
Sisi was still sleeping in. She quietly sat on the puzzle piece on the floor, turned on the computer, and started coding.
Ye Xingchen didn't dare to waste too much time. After packing herself up, she took her bag and went out. She was even afraid that she would be too excited, so she didn't dare to drive. She walked out of the community and took a taxi.
After arriving at the hospital, she went to the obstetrics and gynecology department in a familiar manner. The doctor on duty asked some routine questions and then ordered her to do a urine sample test.
Ye Xingchen knew all these procedures, and because we were all colleagues, he was not too anxious while waiting for the results, and even chatted with the nurse in the corridor for a long time.
In fact, she was not really nervous, but her menstruation did not come this month, and her appetite was not very good these days, and she still felt nauseous in the morning. All of these made her almost certain of a certain outcome.
.
Therefore, she waited expectantly for the obstetrics and gynecology doctor to smile and say congratulations to her. However, when she walked into the clinic again and saw the doctor's regretful expression, her heart suddenly felt empty.
He hesitated and said, "Dr. Gao, am I...pregnant?"
"Uh..." Doctor Gao couldn't bear to look into Ye Xingchen's eyes, because she knew that she was looking forward to this child very much, but the fact was the fact, "Xingchen, I'm sorry, you are not pregnant."
Ye Xingchen's ears buzzed, and the words "not pregnant" exploded in his mind.
"But my one didn't come, and I still felt nauseous in the morning..." She explained quickly, with an urgency in her tone, fearing that the doctor had made a mistake.
Dr. Gao is an old doctor over forty years old and very experienced. He pushed up his glasses and explained, "It's caused by psychological factors. Subconsciously, you may be particularly longing for children, so you have some physical symptoms similar to pregnancy."
Symptoms are medically called false pregnancy.”
False pregnancy?
Although Ye Xingchen is not a doctor of obstetrics and gynecology, she is a medical student after all, so she naturally knows this term, but she never thought that this kind of thing would happen to her.
Maybe she was really too anxious. She had let nature take its course when it came to giving birth, but because of the head nurse's incident, she was put under invisible pressure. Because she had had an accidental miscarriage, she was very worried about whether her body would
What are the side effects?
"Doctor Gao..." Ye Xingchen clenched his hands unconsciously and asked in horror, "I...there's nothing wrong with me?"
Dr. Gao was stunned for a moment, and then realized that of course she knew about Ye Xingchen's miscarriage, and she also knew about the head nurse's affairs, so it was normal for her to have wild thoughts when the two things were combined.
"Hey, Xingchen, don't think blindly, you are in good health, it's just that you didn't get pregnant this time!" Dr. Gao comforted her.
Ye Xingchen let out a long sigh of relief, she was scared to death!
Although she was a little disappointed that she didn't get pregnant this time, she could finally feel relieved when Dr. Gao said this.
But since she's already here, let's do a comprehensive examination and let Dr. Gao take a look at her to adjust her body and mind so that the children born in the future will be healthier.
Dr. Gao smiled and nodded, "Okay, let me check it carefully for you!"
"Well, I'm sorry to trouble you!"
Dr. Gao quickly performed a comprehensive examination on Ye Xingchen, and every result was very good. Although she was a little thin, her health has always been good. She also did a good job in recovery and maintenance after the last accidental miscarriage, so she
It is not a problem to have another healthy baby.
"Thank you, Doctor Gao!" Ye Xingchen finally smiled, with a touching brightness on his plain face.

The clouds are rolling and the clouds are relaxing. I am gone now and will come tomorrow.
Another Friday, Lou Xi returned home, and they spent a warm weekend. They didn't go shopping, they didn't even want to go downstairs, they just stayed at home.
In the big house, there are bright floor-to-ceiling windows. Warm sunlight shines in through the windows. The little girl laughs happily under the sunlight... Even the best painter in the world cannot draw such a beautiful picture because it is so beautiful.
It is the beauty of life, and happiness can only be captured with the heart.
The green potted plants in the corner exude the unique charm of this season, emerald green and bright, concentrating the subtlety of happiness.
Happiness ripples in such a season, simple, unpretentious, substantial and heavy.
During the day, it is the world of a family of three, and at night, it is the world of two people. In the huge master bedroom, emotions are constantly flowing and love is lingering.
When he woke up again after not knowing how many times he passed out, it was the first time that Ye Xingchen felt resentful towards someone's identity as a special soldier. This physical strength was too good, right?
But... his physical strength is so good, there is obviously no problem, and her physical condition is also very good, and they are working so hard, why can't she get pregnant?
This was Ye Xingchen's emotion again, and at this time, several months had passed.
One day, she heard new rumors about the head nurse in the hospital.
"Hey, it turned out that her husband had a problem, but she didn't dare to tell him because she was afraid of hurting his self-esteem. But she didn't expect that man was so inhumane that he immediately turned against her and divorced her! Not long after the divorce, she married another man,
My new wife was still infertile, and after a checkup I found out that there was something wrong with him!"
"Ha, such a man deserves to have no children or grandchildren!"
"That's right!"
"Fortunately, he divorced our head nurse, otherwise he would have ruined her life!"
"That's right!"
"If the head nurse spends her whole life with him, won't she never be able to be a mother?"
"It's really not worth it for a man like that!"
"So, God is watching what people do, and that kind of man will not end well!"
…
Colleagues in the hospital had a clear distinction between love and hate, and they were talking about it all.
Ye Xingchen suddenly felt a little panicked. The head nurse's husband was indeed outrageous, but... Lou Xi couldn't possibly have a problem, right? His health was so good! Why didn't they wait for so long?
"Oh, these days, everything is worrying about houses, money, and children! Unmarried brothers and sisters, everyone should pay attention. Before getting married, you must understand all aspects. During the physical examination, will you be able to give birth?
Children are also very important!”
"That makes sense!"
"Especially now that the environmental pollution is so serious, someone's health may suffer!"
“Isn’t it said in the public service announcements, cherish life and pay attention to science!”
…
Ye Xingchen didn't take those words to heart before, but the words "cherish life and pay attention to science" made her tempted. Maybe she should ask Lou Xi to have a check-up, even though it might make him think
It hurts his self-esteem, but he is also a highly educated person, so he should be able to understand, right? However, how should she open her mouth? It is really difficult to talk about this kind of thing! And she can't discuss it with anyone, after all, it concerns him
The problem of men's dignity.
After thinking about it over and over for several days and checking a lot of information, she still couldn't figure out what to say, but the weekend came in a blink of an eye.
◎◎◎
On Friday night, Lou Xi came home and saw Ye Xingchen sitting on the sofa in a daze. He couldn't help but asked worriedly, "Xingchen, what's wrong with you?"
Ye Xingchen suddenly came back to his senses. Seeing his angular and determined face, he became even more melancholy. How could such a manly man have problems?
After hesitating for a long time, she didn't say a single word.
But Lou Xi was so keen. After dinner, he accidentally caught a glimpse of several books on eugenics and eugenics stacked in the second compartment of the bedside table. After flipping through them, he suddenly understood.
It is undeniable that he felt quite humiliated for a moment, but when he thought about it calmly, it was nothing. Don't people nowadays pay attention to high-quality childbirth?
He is a highly educated person, and his mother was once a military doctor. Due to the environment in which he grew up, he does not shy away from medical treatment.
Putting down the few pamphlets, he walked out of the bedroom.
In the kitchen, the light was still on, and Ye Xingchen was washing the dishes. She lowered her head slightly, washing very seriously and attentively. The foam of the detergent fell all over the basin, and her tears dripped down without causing a single ripple.
.
There was a gurgling sound of water, and someone suddenly hugged her waist gently from behind. She was stunned, and he put his chin on her shoulder.
"Let's go to the hospital tomorrow!" She heard his deeper voice than usual, falling on her ears and reaching her heart.
She stopped washing the dishes suddenly, and the rice bowl in her hand even slipped out and fell into the sink. There was a "bang", but it didn't break, but the sound was muffled.
Her heart also became heavy, and with her hands still covered with foam, she turned around and hugged him, buried her face in his shoulder, and said with a choked voice, "I'm sorry..."
"Fool, what is there to be sorry for?" He sighed helplessly and ruffled her hair lovingly.
Ye Xingchen's heart was filled with waves, and tears fell like rain.
She cried so hard that she could even be described as miserable. No matter how much Lou Xi tried to coax her, she could only be sealed with a kiss.
Kiss her eyebrows, her eyes, her tears, her lips.
That night, they hugged each other and fell asleep simply.
◎◎◎
The next day, they had no choice but to send Sisi to the kindergarten and asked the teacher who was responsible for taking care of children during the holidays to help take care of her. Of course the little girl was not happy that she could not be with her parents on weekends, but her parents promised her that soon
He would come to pick her up and promised to buy her marshmallows. Then the little girl smiled again and went to play with other children.
After Ye Xingchen and Lou Xi left the kindergarten, they went straight to the hospital.
