As time goes by, happiness is getting farther and farther away from Qi Zao Zao.
The weather is getting colder and colder in deep winter. The Spring Festival is just a few days away. Even the cold winter cannot stop people's enthusiasm for the New Year.
A day for family reunion.
Pei Qiwei and Pei Xiaobei have been coming to the apartment more often recently. She wanted to bring Pei Xiaobei to the apartment to celebrate the Spring Festival with Qi Zaozao and Pei Yifei. As for the Pei mansion, everyone knew that Pei Qiwei didn't like Xu Yan, and besides, the old man was gone, so there were no restrictions.
Qi Zaozao was naturally very welcome, as her maternity leave was about to start, and it would be nice to have someone at home to accompany her.
Qi Lexue's condition is getting better and better. She has started to get out of bed and walk slowly. Although she still needs care, it is more than before.
Last night, she met with Xu Yan again and got half of the information about Qi Lexue. As for the other half, it is still in Xu Yan's hands. As long as Qi Zaozao completely leaves Pei Yifei, the rest will be given to her. As for how to leave, that is Qi Zaozao's own business.
Qi Zao made an appointment with Ji Chengen on the second day of her maternity leave.
"The weather is so cold and you're still pregnant. Can't you tell me on the phone if you have anything to say?" Ji Chengen was very concerned about Qi Zaozao.
Because she is going to give birth in a month after the Chinese New Year.
Qi Zao Zao's expression turned pale. "I can't talk about it on the phone anymore."
She answered seriously.
This seriousness made Ji Chengen slightly stunned.
"What's wrong?"
"I'm sorry, I need your help with something..."
She looked up at him, and the seriousness in her eyes made Ji Chengen unable to react.
"Tell me, if there's anything I can help you with, I'll definitely help you!"
Qi Zao Zao pondered for a few seconds and whispered, "I want to leave Pei Yifei."
"... ..."
It has to be said that Ji Chengen was confused by Qi Zaozao's words.
Leave Pei Yifei
"you-"
Qi Zao Zao did not go to see Ji Chengen, but said slowly: "He and I agreed to marry from the beginning, which means that after the child is born, I will leave..."
"... ..."
"I'm pregnant with twins, and I want to leave here with one of them."
Ji Chengen didn't know what to say.
I really didn't know what to say, and Qi Zao Zao said, "He doesn't know that I'm pregnant with twins, so please keep it a secret for me..."
In fact, she was very stubborn and a little persistent. She wanted to continue saying, "Can you help me?" But she couldn't speak because she knew that doing this was unfair to Ji Chengen. She had lied to him. It was true that she and Pei Yifei had an agreement to get married, but the agreement was no longer effective in Pei Yifei's opinion.
"Are you... not doing well?"
Qi Zao Zao shook his head, his eyebrows drooping even more, "Not good, not good at all..."
Yes, there was a huge stone pressing on her heart, almost making her unable to breathe. She wanted to leave Pei Yifei and leave here, and the only one who could help her was Ji Chengen.
Ji Chengen wanted to say something, but Qi Zaozao suddenly burst into tears. She reached out her hand, wiped the tears from her face, and said, "Can you please stop asking me?"
"I just want to leave here and leave Pei Yifei."
Ji Chengen's heart was very complicated. He could feel that Qi Zaozao was hiding something from him. He wanted to comfort her, but...
"Okay, I'll help you."
Qi nodded early.
"Thank you."
She pursed her lips tightly.
Everything is being prepared quietly and silently.
"Zao Zao, last time I asked you what your due date was?"
Pei Qiwei was busy in the kitchen, but suddenly asked Qi Zaozao who had just returned.
"The next...mid-month..."
"Mid-month? Remember to tell me in advance when the time comes."
"good."
Qi Zaozao's heart was pounding.
During that time, she was always in conflict with Pei Yifei, and she was the one who went to the hospital. The due date... ... It shouldn't be a problem, Qi Zao Zao breathed heavily.
"Aunt, come read with me?"
Pei Xiaobei hugged Qi Zaozao's feet, looking innocent and cute.
"good."
The four of us had a relatively happy Spring Festival. With Xiaobei at home, there was constant laughter.
On New Year's Eve, it was snowing heavily. After returning from the hotel after dinner, Pei Qiwei and Pei Xiaobei did not go home. Qi Zaozao and Pei Yifei went back first, got off the car when they were almost at the apartment, and then walked together hand in hand.
Winter nights come early, and New Year’s Eve is more lively than usual.
"Are you cold?" Walking from the door to the balcony, Qi opened the balcony door early and let the snowflakes float in.
Pei Yifei hugged her from behind and breathed into the crook of her neck, which felt warm and a little itchy.
Qi Zao Zao curled the corners of his lips slightly, "Not bad."
Pei Yifei also smiled and buried his head in the crook of her neck.
I don’t know when the snow stopped. Qi Zao Zao looked at the scenery of the entire City A, and his eyes gradually became vague.
At about seven o'clock, she suddenly turned around and asked, "Come and watch the Spring Festival Gala?"
Her nose was still a little red, but Pei Yi didn't say anything but smiled and leaned over to kiss the tip of her nose.
Seeing that he didn't say anything, Qi Zao Zao took his hand and went to watch this year's Spring Festival Gala.
Qi Zaozao laughed non-stop while watching the crosstalk and skits. Pei Yifei didn't like watching these very much, even during the Chinese New Year. But it was a different story since the other party was Qi Zaozao.
He was thinking, this is good.
When the child is born, this home will become more like home.
"What's wrong?"
“Look at you!”
"What are you looking at me for? Watching TV!"
"You're better looking than TV."
Qi Zao Zao burst out laughing, "Why didn't I know your mouth had become so sweet?"
Pei Yifei came over and said, "There are still many things you don't know. I will let you know them slowly in the future."
Holding Qi Zaozao's face, his eyes suddenly became deep and extremely affectionate, which made Qi Zaozao a little dazed.
The minute pointed to fifty-five. Before they knew it, it was already late at night. Qi Zao Zao suddenly stood up and said, "Come here."
Pei Yifei followed Qi Zao Zao to the balcony.
Five minutes suddenly seemed to last so long. Qi Zao Zao took the initiative to reach out and hold Pei Yifei's hand. She looked at him and said with a smile, "Actually, I really want to spend the last minute of every year with you. Holding hands from this year to next year, I really want to..."
"What are you talking about, idiot?!"
Their eyes met, and he was laughing, laughing at her stupidity. Was there any need to think about it
In the last minute of every year from now on, he will hold her hand and walk from this year to the next.
Fireworks suddenly lit up the night sky, and the time was counting down on TV. It was the warmest and most wonderful moment. From this year to next year, it was also the first New Year for the two of them.
In fact, fate is a very wonderful thing.
It's really amazing.
There hasn't been anything too passionate between her and him so far, but love doesn't necessarily have to be passionate to be considered love.
You don’t know when, at a certain point, or because of a certain sentence, or a smile, your heart suddenly starts beating.
By the time you come to your senses, that smiling face has already penetrated into your bones, and your heart and eyes are filled with that smiling face.
Happy New Year!
Happy New Year!
At that moment, under the brilliant fireworks, he bent down and kissed her lips.
Lingering and affectionate.
Qi Zao Zao closed her eyes happily and responded to his kiss, slowly deepening it a little bit... She really wanted to stay like this until the end, holding his hand until the last minute of every year, from this year to the next.
One kiss and it's over.
Qi Zaozao's face flushed a little, and she smiled, with her eyebrows and eyes curved. She was the same lively Qi Zaozao from before.
Nothing seems to have changed, but somehow, everything is changing.
"This kiss is so long, it lasts from this year to next year!" Pei Yifei joked.
"yes!"
She laughed even more happily, and Pei Yifei reached out and pinched her face lovingly.
Pei Yifei has always believed in Qi Zaozao, and he firmly believes that the two of them will really be together until the end...
On the other side.
In the empty Pei family mansion, Pei Ruohan was slightly dazed as she looked at the fireworks outside. Xu Yan came down from upstairs, "What's wrong?"
"Mom, do you feel that the house is empty?"
Xu Yan was stunned, but suddenly smiled, "Are you still worried?"
Pei Ruohan didn't say anything, but her expression told Xu Yan.
The New Year without my brother is really lonely. Although I missed him very much when I was abroad in the past, it was never as strong as this year.
Xu Yan sat beside Pei Ruohan and said, "Don't worry, it will be soon. Qi will leave your brother sooner or later. You should seize the opportunity when the time comes, okay?"
"Will she? Will she?"
"Yes, Mom won't lie to you."
The eighth day of the New Year passed quickly. Qi Zaozao's due date was at the beginning of next month, but she lied to Pei Qiwei and Pei Yifei that it was in the middle of the month.
She didn't know if she could succeed, but she had no way out.
Qi went to find Shen Xiaofei early.
"What?"
Shen Xiaofei's voice suddenly increased, "You want to leave here???"
Qi Zao Zao nodded solemnly.
"What's wrong with you?" Shen Xiaofei couldn't believe she would say such a thing.
Qi Zao Zao held Shen Xiaofei's hand and said, "Listen to me first. Don't tell Pei Yifei about my twins. Also, I can't tell you so much for now, but I will contact you later."
Shen Xiaofei looked at Qi Zaozao with a very strange look, "Are you in love with someone else?"
Qi Zao Zao was stunned for a moment, as if thinking about something, and then nodded, "Just take it as yes, Xiao Fei, help me, just help me this time, don't ask anything now."
"I really don't know what you are doing?"
Qi Zaozao still refused to say anything, and Shen Xiaofei had no choice because Qi Zaozao looked mysterious.
"But you have to promise me that you are safe and sound, and you must contact me, otherwise I will break up with you!" Although he was puzzled, Shen Xiaofei had no choice but to compromise with Qi Zaozao. (To be continued)
