Tang Wei looked at the back figure, and felt that she was becoming more and more blurred. The blood flowed out of her nostrils, staining the white tissue red, which was shocking.
He avoided her, wiped off the blood, and touched the medicine bottle. He twisted the water aside and swallowed the pills. After a long time, he leaned back in the chair, closed his eyes, panted weakly, and did not move.
He glanced sideways and could vaguely see her standing obediently in front of the supermarket waiting for him through the glass. Her eyes were always looking in his direction, but the car windows were closed and she couldn't see anything. The less she could see, the more anxious she probably felt.
Tang Wei didn't dare to let her wait too long, as she would become suspicious. After feeling a little better, he looked in the mirror again to make sure there was nothing wrong, then he put the blood-stained tissue in his pocket and pushed the door open to leave.
As if nothing had happened, he always had a smile on his face.
When Shang Shiyu saw him get out of the car, he immediately trotted over.
"What's wrong?" She tilted her head back and looked at him appraisingly.
"It's okay. The recent weather has made me a little irritated and my nose feels uncomfortable." Tang Wei held her in his arms and said as casually as possible, "I don't want to blow my nose in front of you and ruin my image."
"Really?" Shang Shiyu looked at him doubtfully.
Tang Wei smiled noncommittally, "Shang Shang, I'm hungry. If we delay any further, we won't be able to have dinner at 8 o'clock tonight."
Shang Shiyu stared at him again and again, until he was helpless and finally gave up. He didn't look like he was hiding something from her, so she gradually let go of her worries.

It was time to get off work, and the supermarket was packed with people. Usually, Shang Shiyu would buy what he liked and leave in a hurry, as he didn't like places with too many people. However, today he felt completely different.
She walked side by side with him, carefully looking at everything and choosing slowly, occasionally turning back to ask for his advice.
"Shang Shang, you bought too much noodles." Tang Wei reminded her softly when she got the fifth box of noodles.
"Not much. The shelf life is three years, so you can eat it slowly later. You can finish it in three years, right?"
Three years...
To ordinary people, it seemed like the time passed in the blink of an eye. However, she didn't know that to him, every minute of these three years was a luxury.
However, he did not mention these words. He just smiled, took the noodles from her hand, put them in the cart, and said, "Okay, eat slowly later."
Shang Shiyu was very happy. Just because he mentioned the word "later", she could comfort herself, as if there would be a future between them.
"Okay, we've almost finished buying everything." She stopped.
"Wait." Tang Wei looked around and finally went to the electrical appliance area. He took out a cute electric toothbrush and asked her opinion, "How about this one? It's a little duck, do you like it?"
Shang Shiyu was delighted and nodded, "Whatever you choose is fine."
Tang Wei smiled slightly and asked the waiter to pack the toothbrush and put it in the shopping cart. Shang Shiyu took his arm, leaned his head on his shoulder, and deliberately asked him, "Why did you buy a toothbrush?"
"They're all disposable at home. It's okay to use them once, but using them too much is bad for your teeth."
Her smile widened, her eyes brightened, "Well... such an expensive toothbrush, do I have to use it more often in the future to make it worthwhile?"
Tang Wei also smiled, "You are welcome to come here to brush your teeth every day."
"Not only do I want to use your toothbrush, I also want to use your towels frequently, occupy your kitchen, and then sleep in your bed." His attitude made her become unruly.
Tang Wei put his arm around her, narrowed his eyes, and looked down at her with an ambiguous smile, "Then, I think we should buy something else."
"What?"
As a result, Shang Shiyu was dragged by Tang Wei to a shelf filled with various colorful boxes.
Condom.
"Which brand do you prefer?" he asked her seriously and rigorously.
There were other people on the shelf next to him. When they heard his question, they looked over at him curiously. Shang Shiyu was embarrassed and quietly squeezed his hand, muttering, "I'm as inexperienced as you, so I don't know which one is better."
Tang Wei was a little distressed, "This is my first time buying one too. Maybe I should ask my sixth brother Tang."
Shang Shiyu's little thoughts jumped out, and she grabbed his hand, "Or... let's not buy it."
Tang Wei raised his eyebrows slightly.
Shang Shiyu stood on tiptoe and whispered in his ear with a blushing face, "We can do without..."
Tang Wei looked at her seriously, with all kinds of complicated colors in his eyes. Finally, he reached out and took down three boxes, "Since you don't know, take one box of each brand."
Deep disappointment rolled into her heart. Shang Shiyu grabbed Tang Wei's hand, and suddenly she seemed to have no strength left. She wanted to slowly let go, but the next moment, he held her tightly again.
"Shang Shang, let's go pay the bill now."
"...Okay." She responded softly. In the end, she was still a loser and wrapped her hands around his arms.
She wanted his child.
However, she also saw that this man had no intention of giving her a child. In other words, he had no intention of giving her a future.
It's not that he doesn't like children. Three years ago, they talked about children. They dreamed of getting married and having children as soon as she graduated. Lots of children.
But now...
Obviously, in his world, he would never be the future mother of his child.
Tang Wei came out with the things in one hand and led her with the other. He put the things he bought in the trunk, and when he came back, he saw her sitting in the passenger seat in a daze.
He stood under the car and buckled her seat belt before she slowly came back to her senses.
"Unhappy?" Tang Wei touched her cold little face.
"No." She immediately smiled back, but the smile was still a little forced.
Tang Wei didn't like to see her depressed, but he was powerless in this matter. He shook her hand and said, "Shang Shang, I'm not in the right period to have a child. So, let's not think about this, okay?"
Shang Shiyu looked into his eyes. His expression was sincere, which made her feel that if she continued to pester him, she would be ignorant.
She really wanted to ask him, what about the future
Will he and Lin Yun have children in the future
But she didn't ask this question after all. She just needed to cherish the time they had together now, because such time would be short. She could feel it.
Shang Shiyu thought about it and tried hard to adjust her mood. She curled her lips and said casually, "I was just joking with you. I'm still so young and I don't want to be a mother."
