Chapter 462 It’s Hard to Be a Man

Cheng Xuyuan, Shen Yulin and others are now comrades-in-arms with a common goal.

So when faced with his arrival, Cheng Xuyuan naturally welcomed him.

But seeing him coming in such a hurry, Cheng Xuyuan inexplicably felt something was not right.

After all, there didn't seem to be too many things in the relationship between the two people that could make Shen Yulin come in a hurry.

"Brother Yulin, why are you here?" Cheng Xuyuan asked Shen Yulin.

Although it might seem a little impolite to ask this, Cheng Xuyuan couldn't care less at this moment.

After Shen Yulin took a breath, his expression calmed down a lot and he said, "My mother said today that she plans to go to the East China Sea to see Yu Mo before the New Year."

From Yanjing to the East China Sea, it is not very close.

It takes a day to travel by train, but the love a parent has for their child can offset a lot.

For example, the distance from Yanjing to the East China Sea, and the fatigue and travel along the way.

Li Xueling is going to Donghai! What's going on? Didn't Shen Yumo already say that he would go back next year?

Why are you raiding here?

Cheng Xuyuan really didn't like this kind of raid at all, but in this situation, he had no other choice.

He could only face it.

After hesitating for a moment, Cheng Xuyuan said in a deep voice: "Can it be saved?"

Although the possibility of getting a positive answer to this question is not very high, Cheng Xuyuan still asked it.

And the answer he got was the same as he thought.

Shen Yulin shook his head and said nothing, and the meaning was very clear, he couldn't save the situation.

So Cheng Xuyuan asked the reason.

"Why?"

Li Xueling is fine, why does she suddenly want to go to the East China Sea at this time?

Shen Yulin took out a box of cigarettes, lit one himself, and then looked at Cheng Xuyuan. The meaning was very clear, asking Cheng Xuyuan if he wanted to smoke.

Cheng Xuyuan didn't have any good expectations for things like smoking.

But at this moment, facing Shen Yulin's gaze, Cheng Xuyuan nodded after hesitating for a moment.

Shen Yulin immediately handed the cigarette in his hand to Cheng Xuyuan, and took out a kerosene lighter to help him light it.

"My mother said that she felt a little sad to see Yumo spending the New Year alone." Shen Yulin said calmly, "So she wanted to take advantage of this time before the New Year to visit Yumo and buy her some New Year's goods."

At this point, a bitter smile appeared on his face and he said, "Xuyuan, do you think there is something wrong with this reason?"

There is nothing wrong with parents wanting to visit their children who are living away from home. There is absolutely no problem at all.

When Cheng Xuyuan heard this reason, a bitter smile appeared on his face.

He said to Shen Yulin in a deep voice: "Brother Yulin, this is very normal."

"If it happened to us, we would go there too."

Shen Yulin nodded and said, "I wanted to persuade my mother to go after the Chinese New Year, or when it's warmer next spring, but she scolded me."

"You said I don't care about my sister who is far away. Tell me, what should I do about this matter?"

In fact, Cheng Xuyuan didn't know what to do at this time. He looked thoughtful and said to Shen Yulin: "Brother Yulin, have you discussed this matter with Yumo?"

"I'm afraid this will bother her, so I haven't told her yet."

Shen Yulin said: "I just want to see if you have any solution now."

At this time, both of them fell silent.

The faint smoke became thicker at this moment.

Although Cheng Xuyuan didn't have much contact with Li Xueling, he knew in his heart that as long as Li Xueling went to Donghai, the fact that Shen Yumo was pregnant could not be concealed.

Once this incident breaks out, what awaits him and Shen Yumo is a storm.

Moreover, it was a violent storm that made him have no idea in which direction things would develop.

Although the cause of this incident was a mutual consent between him and Shen Yumo.

But once things get out of hand, he and Shen Yumo will not only have to face various problems, but also, at the most critical moment, what should they do with their children? Cheng Xuyuan put out the cigarette in his hand and said, "You can't stop it, and I don't think I can stop it either."

"So according to you, you're just going to let my mom go and see Yu Mo's appearance?" Shen Yulin asked, "Are you going to throw the jar into the ground?"

Cheng Xuyuan was also very conflicted at this time.

Although it was Shen Yumo who took the initiative to find him this time, the child was his after all.

This seems unchangeable.

At this moment, he suddenly had a feeling that it was difficult to be a man!

Being a responsible man is even more difficult.

When he was in Southern Xinjiang, he had never thought about anything happening with Shen Yumo, but... but the situation at that time...

"Or I can go there early to meet Aunt Li and talk to her." Cheng Xuyuan hesitated for a moment and said in a deep voice.

Shen Yulin shook his head. Although Cheng Xuyuan's approach gave the impression that a real man should take responsibility for his own actions, the effectiveness of his approach made people a little doubtful.

What would the mother do?

Shen Yulin had no idea at this moment.

"How about contacting Yu Mo and letting him hide?" Cheng Xuyuan walked back and forth a few steps and continued to express an idea.

Shen Yulin said: "My mother went to Donghai and must have come into contact with people from the literary and artistic editorial department in Shanghai."

"Do you think they will help Yu Mo hide it?"

"Also, Yu Mo is going out at this time. What reason do you think he should use to ask for leave?"

Listening to Shen Yulin's words of denial, Cheng Xuyuan even had an urge to yell at Shen Yulin.

This won't work, and that won't work. So tell me what to do.

I don't have any good ideas, if you have any, you can come up with them.

But now is not the time to be angry.

Especially not the time to be angry with Shen Yulin.

The two of them sat in silence, feeling like they didn't know what to say.

Just then, a few girls came over chatting and laughing.

Among these girls were Lan Beijia and Jin Yuanying, whom Cheng Xuyuan was familiar with.

"Xuyuan, our Chinese department is having a dance tonight. Do you want to join us?" Jin Yuanying asked Cheng Xuyuan, swinging her two long braids.

Cheng Xuyuan had no interest in things like dances in the first place, and at this moment, he naturally had even less interest.

So he instinctively wanted to refuse, but before he could say anything, Lan Beijia smiled and said, "How could Xuyuan not participate? Yuqing wanted to invite him."

"Hehe, I heard that many people are planning to invite Xuyuan."

Amidst the laughter, Lan Beijia and the others left with a smile.

Their words made Cheng Xuyuan's heart inexplicably moved, because Li Yufei had previously invited Cheng Xuyuan to attend this dance.

I and Shen Yulin can't stop Li Xueling from going to Donghai, but can Li Yufei stop her?

As thoughts flashed through his mind, Cheng Xuyuan's expression became determined.

The matter between him and Shen Yumo was already somewhat complicated.

If he adds Li Yufei, who seems to have feelings for him, he will be asking for trouble.

So in the end, Cheng Xuyuan said: "How about this, let's not worry about it anymore. I'll contact Yu Mo and see if she has any good ideas."

Although Shen Yulin didn't want his sister to be disturbed at this time, it was almost impossible not to tell Shen Yumo at this time.

So he hesitated for a moment, and said, "Okay, let's get in touch first."

Cheng Xuyuan called Shen Yulin to Professor Li's small office in the History Department, then picked up the phone and dialed the contact number of Shanghai Literature and Art.

The person who answered the phone told Cheng Xuyuan to wait a moment and Shen Yumo would come over to answer the phone soon.

While waiting, Cheng Xuyuan poured Shen Yulin a glass of water.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

At this time, Shen Yulin was very depressed.

He took the water from Cheng Xuyuan but did not drink it. Instead, he said helplessly, "If I had known that things would be like this, I would have ignored your affairs."

"Oh, now I feel like I'm neither here nor there."

Cheng Xuyuan smiled and said, "Brother Yulin, we are both grateful for what you have done for me and Yu Mo."

"How come you are neither here nor there?"

"Don't worry, even if things end up in the worst possible situation, Yu Mo and I won't blame you."

"After all, you've helped us a lot."

Cheng Xuyuan's words sounded like an affirmation of himself, but no matter how Shen Yulin thought about it, he felt something was wrong.

You and Shen Yumo are already divorced.

Shen Yumo and I are brother and sister! How come you said that, as if you two are a family and I am an outsider.

But if you think about it carefully, there doesn't seem to be much wrong. They are divorced, but the child is theirs.

Oh, this matter is really distressing.

Just when Shen Yulin felt uncomfortable and wanted to say something, the phone rang.

Cheng Xuyuan picked up the phone, said a few words, and then solemnly said to the other end of the phone: "Yumo, Brother Yulin told me that Aunt Li is going to Donghai to see you."

"What do you think we should do?"

Hearing Cheng Xuyuan's words, Shen Yumo on the other end of the phone said, "Can my brother or sister-in-law persuade my mother to come again next year?"

When I came back next year, the baby would have been born.

It can be said that the matter is done. Even if Li Xueling comes at this time, she can only face the fact that she has become a grandmother.

If I go there now, it will be a done deal, but...

Cheng Xuyuan said: "Brother Yulin said that he tried everything, but he couldn't change Aunt Li's mind."

"You and Aunt Li are the closest. What can you do now?"

Shen Yumo hesitated for a moment and said, "How about I call home later and tell them that I'm going on a business trip for a while and don't let her come over?"

"You'd better find a reason that makes sense. After all, Uncle Shen and we are from the same system." Although Cheng Xuyuan felt that this idea had little chance of success, he could only take it one step at a time.

Shen Yumo said: "It's okay, if you can't explain it, let my mother come over."

"Things have come to this point, and I am not afraid anymore."

"You don't have to be afraid. I won't tell you when the time comes."

"Just say that this child was borne by me voluntarily."

Although Cheng Xuyuan didn't want to remarry in his heart, but after hearing Shen Yumo's words, Cheng Xuyuan still said: "Yumo, you don't have to hide this."

"As the saying goes, a man's deeds are his responsibility. Since this has happened, I have to take the responsibility."

"No matter what Aunt Li thinks, things have already happened."

Listening to Cheng Xuyuan's resolute words, Shen Yumo smiled and said, "No need to make it sound so heroic. Maybe this is just a whim of my mother."

As she spoke, she seemed to have thought of something and asked, "Is my mother sure when she will come?"

Shen Yulin mentioned a date, and after Cheng Xuyuan relayed it, Shen Yumo hung up the phone.

Listening to the beeping sound in the phone receiver, Cheng Xuyuan, who was a little worried, said to Shen Yulin: "Brother Yulin, do you think Yu Mo's persuasion will succeed?"

Shen Yulin said anxiously: "How should I know?"

"But I'm afraid that after this incident, Yu Mo will become anxious."

"After all, after all..."

Shen Yulin didn't say what it was, but he understood the meaning very well.

After all, the person who is under the most pressure right now is Shen Yumo.

Neither of them wanted to talk. They just sat in the office, looking at the phone quietly.

Twenty minutes later, the phone suddenly rang. Cheng Xuyuan answered the call and heard a calm voice: "Excuse me, is Professor Li here? I am..."

After hearing this, although Cheng Xuyuan was extremely reluctant, he had no choice but to listen.

Finally, just when Cheng Xuyuan's patience was about to run out, Shen Yumo finally called.

Hearing Shen Yumo's voice, Cheng Xuyuan asked almost immediately: "How is it?"

"Before my mother said I was coming to Donghai, I told her that the company wanted to focus on training me, so they wanted me to go to another place to study in the next few days."

Shen Yumo said: "I told my mother that I would need half a month to study this time."

"After she heard the news, she decided not to come for the time being."

Hearing Shen Yumo's somewhat relaxed voice, Cheng Xuyuan felt that this matter should not be a big problem.

He smiled and said, "You used this tactic to take the initiative, which was very good."

"But I think that even if your mother doesn't come before the New Year, she will still come to see you when she has time in the future."

"You have to be prepared."

Shen Yumo did not speak immediately. After hesitating for a moment, he said in a deep voice, "I know this matter cannot be concealed."

"Don't worry, after the baby is born, I will tell my parents about this as soon as possible to avoid causing trouble for you."

At this point, she said in a deep voice: "Can I have a word with my second brother?"

Although Chen Xuyuan was somewhat reluctant about this request, he still obediently handed the phone to Shen Yulin.

Shen Yulin took the phone, exchanged a few words with Shen Yumo, and then said in a deep voice: "Yumo, you still need to think about this matter carefully."

"What are you going to do when mom finds out about this?"

"In the end, this can't be hidden!"

A new month, a new beginning, please give me a monthly ticket 　　 　 (end of this chapter)
