That time I went back to City A, it turned out that I was here to handle some household matters.
The night with Xicheng completely disrupted her rhythm. She fled back to school in a hurry. She originally wanted to treat this incident as a minor incident and did not think it would affect her life.
But after that night, she couldn't help but think about him, worrying whether he would be affected by the case, so she always paid more attention to his news.
From the news, I learned that he had taken over the Gu family’s property and that his sister had died...
He was struggling with fate, while she was busy writing her graduation thesis. When she completed the thesis, got the last A from the professor, and completed her studies, she also received the doctor's diagnosis that she was pregnant.
Because she had always had irregular menstruation, she didn't feel anything strange at first. She even thought her physical discomfort was just a gastric reaction caused by being too busy every day and eating irregularly. In addition, her pregnancy reaction was not very obvious, so it was easy for her to suffer from it. Ignore this.
By the time she really knew she was pregnant, it was already the third month after the incident.
She had just returned home from school for the holidays and abortion was not allowed in her country.
After struggling for a whole week, she excused herself from traveling to return to China. She had already contacted a hospital, and the doctor told her that it was a simple and minor operation with almost no pain.
In order to prevent risks, she still needed to do corresponding examinations. She lay on the cold B-ultrasound table and felt the doctor move the machine over her abdomen. Then, she clearly heard a heartbeat-like sound coming from the machine.
The doctor told her that it was the sound of the fetal heartbeat—basically the same as the fetal heartbeat.
The doctor also told her that the child was developing healthily...
When she heard the doctor call "child", she was lying on the B-ultrasound bed with cold sweat breaking out on her back.
He (she) was already a little life, and she was about to kill a life. She fled from the B-ultrasound room and sat on the side of the road for several hours before finally deciding to keep the little life in her belly.
…
In the telescope lens, Xicheng had put out the cigarette butt in the ashtray nearby and looked in her direction again.
It was not a casual look, but a purposeful gaze. Xia Nuan could clearly see his eyes. Even though they were far apart, she seemed to have a feeling that she was looking at him.
She was startled and shrank back behind a tree.
On the balcony.
Xicheng squinted his eyes, and just now he vaguely saw some reflection next to the tree, and then it moved.
He blinked and looked again. There was only darkness and nothing there.
Perhaps he saw it wrongly, so he raised his hand to rub his sore face. He turned back to the room and got the computer on the table again.
"wrong!"
With a low cry, Xicheng stood up suddenly, put the computer on the table, turned around and opened the door, rushed out of the bedroom, rushed through the corridor, hurried downstairs, out the door, and ran out of the yard in slippers... Running through the snow all the way to the spruce tree.
Under the moonlight, he could see obvious traces of footprints under the trees. He followed the direction of the footprints to the roadside again, rounded the corner of the road, and only saw the red taillight of a car disappearing at the corner at the end of the forest road.
"Xia Nuan!"
Xicheng ran wildly.
He gasped for air, his lungs burning as if they were on fire...
When he panted and caught up to the main road, he saw only cars coming and going, and he couldn't tell which one was Xia Nuan's car.
