Jiang Zhi would not be so stupid as to think that Shen Luyan was passing by by chance at the door of her community.
There are so many coincidences in the world.
In the wind and snow, facing each other on the street, they looked at each other, but there was nothing to say.
Jiang Zhi quickly averted her eyes from the surprise. She turned a blind eye and walked back home. Shen Luyan stepped forward and walked towards her.
There are even fewer passers-by on snowy days.
There were not many people on the street.
There were only a few children who were not afraid of the cold in the open space at the entrance of the community, wearing gloves and building snowmen in a hurry.
Jiang Zhi was almost knocked down by a running child, but the man behind him helped him.
There are few people in the world who are not afraid of Shen Luyan's cold face. When the naughty children met these cold eyes, they were so frightened that they ran away and continued to build snowmen with their friends in a distant open space.
Jiang Zhi broke away from his hand and said nothing.
Now I don't even bother to say polite words like thank you to him.
Shen Luyan followed her and didn't know what to say when he actually saw someone.
Maybe she hates him.
Misunderstood by prejudice.
humiliated.
Being looked down upon.
Does she know that she was plotted by Yan Yao? Maybe she does.
There were only a few people targeting her, so it was not difficult to guess.
When she first talked about this matter, she never mentioned Yan Yao's name in front of him. He didn't believe that she was innocent. How could he believe that Yan Yao went to great lengths to frame her and try to destroy her? What about people.
She is always silent.
All silence is the loss of trust in words again and again.
Just like the stars that are gradually dimming, they gradually lose their brilliance.
Shen Luyan suddenly grabbed her arm. Jiang Zhi turned around and gave him a cold look, "What are you doing?"
He didn't know what he was doing either.
He longed for her to forgive him, but he couldn't even say an apology.
"The road is slippery, be careful."
She was walking very fast just now, probably because she wanted to quickly get rid of the figure behind her, and she walked forward without any care.
Jiang Zhi waved away his hand, "What's the matter with you coming here?"
Shen Luyan looked at his empty hands, with a complex, bitter and astringent taste spreading in his throat, "Jiang Zhi."
Her back was a little stiff.
Shen Luyan's face was expressionless, "Do you hate me?"
This question is almost a no-brainer.
Of course I hate him.
But Jiang Zhi always felt that her love and hate were not important to him.
Shen Luyan cares neither about her love nor her hatred.
There are many people who like him in this world.
Likewise, there are many people who hate him.
Shen Luyan had never taken it seriously, and he didn't know why he asked about such an insignificant thing to him tonight.
"yes."
The two words he spat out lightly were carried to his ears by the cold wind.
The two words were as heavy as a jack, falling heavily on his heart.
All I can hear is the sound of wind,
Snowflakes fell on the man's eyebrows, and the light illuminated by the street lamp was lonely and lonely. The man's eyebrows were lowered, and the emotions in his eyes were unclear, but his hands were clenched and trembling uncontrollably.
Shen Luyan felt that this expected answer would not do anything to him, but he still felt sad when he heard it.
"You can't hate me."
Shen Luyan, who had always been eloquent, became clumsy one day.
After thinking for a long time, I could only squeeze out these five words.
She can't hate him.
Jiang Zhi found it funny, and she said sarcastically: "Mr. Shen is really as domineering as ever. He can manipulate you whether he hates you or not."
The weather is too cold.
Jiang Zhi didn't want to stay outside anymore. She lowered her head and continued walking forward, with the person behind her following her like a shadow.
She didn't know what he wanted to do.
He shouldn't be able to do anything.
"And it doesn't matter to you that I hate you."
Shen Luyan was silent for a moment, lowered his head, "Yes."
Jiang Zhi just thought that he had heard it wrong, so what impact would it have?
It seems that what he said before was correct.
No one in this world can live well without him.
Men, in particular, are even more ruthless. They forget everything when they turn around.
Guilt is worthless, and retention is worthless.
She went upstairs, but Shen Luyan did not follow her.
When Jiang Zhi returned home, the ice cream she bought from the convenience store had not yet melted. She tore open the package and bit into it one bite at a time. Her teeth were sore from the ice and her eyes were sore.
After a while, she gradually recovered from this inexplicable emotion.
A few days after the studio holiday, the Chinese New Year will begin.
In the past, my belly was not so obvious, but these days it is like a balloon that is slowly inflated, becoming increasingly unable to be covered.
Jiang Zhi felt that he might not be able to survive the New Year.
She called Lin Jiaran and said as tactfully as possible, "I have to explain something clearly to you. I need you to cooperate with me when the time comes."
Lin Jiaran was not idle during the winter vacation. He went to work at KFC and worked diligently every day to attract a lot of business by selling beauty products. He was also very popular in the store and everyone liked to work with him.
"Sister, tell me."
"Don't worry, I will pay you for this separately and try not to cause any trouble to you."
"Okay." He agreed readily.
Jiang Zhi felt uneasy and asked, "Where are you? I'll come find you and I'll tell you face to face."
Lin Jiaran was still a little embarrassed to let her know that he worked part-time at KFC, which was a bit embarrassing. He struggled for a few seconds and said, "I'm in the KFC in the mall nearest to your home."
Jiang Zhi was slightly surprised, "Then I'll come over now."
The shopping mall and the community are really close to each other.
Ten minutes away.
Jiang Zhi was afraid of the cold, so he put on a thick scarf before going out.
Lin Jiaran changed back into her own clothes and found an empty seat for her. Her eyes were bright and free from dust.
Jiang Zhi looked into these clean eyes and felt as if he had ruined a good young man.
"that is…"
"I am pregnant."
Lin Jiaran seemed to have been tapped on his mute point, and fell silent for a moment.
Jiang Zhi doesn't think this matter is that difficult for him to digest, right?! It's not his child, and he doesn't need to be responsible.
"you…"
"It's pretty good." Lin Jiaran said smoothly: "I'll save twenty years of hard work and get it right in one step."
"..."
Lin Jiaran scratched his hair and guessed who the child was almost instantly.
He was very sensible and didn't point it out.
"My mother doesn't know yet. I plan to confess to them tonight, so I have to ask you to assume the role of my child's father in front of them." Jiang Zhi continued, "I can pay you separately."
All Lin Jiaran could think about was that he was going to be a father at a young age.
"Is that all?"
"Um."
"Oh, okay."
It took Lin Jiaran a few seconds to convince himself what a great opportunity it was.
A child needs a father.
He is the Chosen Father!
"But it's still like this. If we don't get married, it will be difficult for us to end it."
"ah?"
"I already have children. I am not responsible for you. If I don't marry you, my aunt and uncle will regard me as a scumbag, right?"
Jiang Zhi thought about it carefully, and it seemed that this was also the case. She asked cautiously: "Otherwise, will you become a scumbag?"
Lin Jiaran hasn't given up yet, and is looking for opportunities for herself, "I think I have quite the experience of being a father."
He has always been the dad in the dormitory.
Jiang Zhi only regarded his words as a joke. After telling him about the incident in advance, he went home again.
Today is Little New Year's Eve.
Uncle is coming over to celebrate the festival with them.
The window grilles have been put up at home in advance, and the couplets have been replaced with new ones.
Fu Qingwan cooked a table full of dishes. At the dinner table, Jiang Zhi did enough mental preparation and suddenly said, "I have something to say."
Fu Jingchu looked at her quietly.
Jiang Zhi almost gave up after being looked at like this, and her heart suddenly crossed: "I seem to be pregnant."
It was so quiet in the living room that you could hear the sound of a needle dropping.
Fu Jingchu was silent.
Jiang Zhi didn't dare to raise his head, "It's Lin Jiaran's child."
After being quiet for a long time, Jiang Zhi heard her uncle seem to sneer. She raised her head and met her uncle's half-smiling eyes, feeling that everything about her was seen through by him.
Fu Qingwan was still in shock.
Fu Jingchu was not in the mood to eat anymore, put down his chopsticks, and asked, "When did you find out?"
"some days ago."
"You want to give birth?"
"Um."
"Is your surname Shen or Fu?"
"..." Jiang Zhi pursed his lips, biting his lips and not changing his words: "It belongs to Lin Jiaran."
After a while, Fu Jingchu sneered, "As long as your surname is not Shen."
