Chapter 286 Pseudonym
The next day, Luo Shu went to the hospital for a prenatal checkup.
Yu Zhan went to get the report, and she sat quietly on the bench waiting.
"Lolo".
A familiar voice reached Luo Shu's ears. Only Leng Xichen called her Luo Luo. She raised her eyes slightly, and it really was him.
She chuckled softly, "What are you doing here?"
This floor is the obstetrics and gynecology department. I never expected to run into him here.
"I came with my sister for her prenatal checkup."
Leng Xichen glanced at the consultation room. Leng Xiangyi had just entered, and Luo Shu hadn't seen her. He sat down next to Luo Shu.
Luo Shu didn't know that he had a younger sister. To be precise, although she had known Leng Xichen for so long and was quite familiar with him, he never mentioned his background or anything else.
They don't seem that familiar with each other.
"You have a younger sister," Luo Shu asked.
"I'm sorry, I haven't mentioned it to you before."
Leng Xi paused for a moment. He had never dared to face the past, so he never mentioned it. Leng Xiangyi was his only relative in this world.
His face had already scared off many people; it seemed that only Luo Shu and Yu Yu didn't mind at the time.
"You don't need to apologize to me." She understood. "We're actually quite happy that you can face this so calmly."
"Um."
Leng Xichen doesn't like to talk, but that doesn't mean he really doesn't like to talk.
"Where's Zhan? Didn't he come with you?" he asked.
"Huh?" Luo Shu paused for two seconds, "You know A-Zhan?"
Leng Xichen hesitated for a moment. It seemed that they had never really introduced themselves together; he only knew about them from one side.
"Xi Chen?" Yu Zhan walked towards them with the report in his hand.
Luo Shu and Leng Xichen chatted and laughed.
On the night he met Leng Xi again, when they talked about how Yu Zhan was henpecked, Yu Zhan showed him a picture of Luo Shu, but he just smiled and didn't say anything.
They sat on a bench, with one seat between them, maintaining a gentlemanly distance between them.
"I accompanied Xiangyi to her prenatal checkup, and I didn't expect to run into you guys." Leng Xichen smiled.
Yu Zhan sat next to Luo Shu, with an empty seat between Luo Shu and Leng Xichen.
"Xiangyi is here too? Where's Wenmo?" Yuzhan asked.
“Wenmo is busy, and I was worried about Xiangyi coming alone. Anyway, I had nothing to do, so I came over.”
Yu Zhan nodded; it was better for him to come out than to stay at home.
The men on either side of Luo Shu were chatting across her, as if they always had something to say.
She only learned from their conversation that Leng Xiangyi was Leng Xichen's sister. What a small world! They were all old acquaintances.
"Lolo, want to have dinner together tonight?" Leng Xichen asked.
Luo Shu didn't rush to answer, but looked at Yu Zhan. She seemed to see a hint of something unreadable in Yu Zhan's eyes.
"Want to go?" Yu Zhan asked.
"Mm." Luo Shu nodded.
She hadn't seen Leng Xichen for a long time; after exchanging contact information that day, she hadn't heard from him again.
She plans to invite Yu Yu to join her tonight.
“Then let’s go together.” Yu Zhan.
Yu Zhan and Leng Xichen had already made plans to have dinner together tonight. Yu Zhan didn't want to bring Luo Shu along because he was afraid Leng Xichen would feel uncomfortable, since Leng Xichen was also concerned about the scar on his face.
"Brother! Brother Yu!" Leng Xiangyi saw the two men as she came out of the clinic.
Only when they got closer did they realize that Luo Shu was sitting between the two of them, with Yu Zhan's hand on Luo Shu's side waist.
"Sister-in-law." This was the first time she had addressed Luo Shu so formally.
Yu Zhan and Luo Shu smiled and nodded at her, giving her plenty of face.
Leng Xichen was unaware of Leng Xiangyi's past, and no one mentioned it.
Leng Xichen stood up with a smile, "How was it?"
"No problem."
Leng Xiangyi glanced at Luo Shu, feeling a little guilty. She was still resentful about what had happened before and was afraid that the two people in front of her would hold a grudge against her, and she would be too ashamed to face them.
Now that she is pregnant with Wenmo's child, she has let go of her obsession with Yuzhan.
"Then we'll head back first." Leng Xichen looked at the two of them.
"See you tonight." - Yu Zhan
They said their goodbyes, and Leng Xichen and Leng Xiangyi left.
As Yu Zhan watched their departing figures, his arms tightened, and Luo Shu pulled him into her embrace. She took the report from Yu Zhan's hand and began to read it carefully.
"Do you know Xi Chen?" Yu Zhan asked.
"Yes, we've known each other for a long time," Luo Shu murmured as she looked at the report.
Yu Zhan didn't ask anything more.
He just felt a little uncomfortable, and Leng Xichen called her Luo Luo.
This was the first time he had ever heard such an intimate address.
Later, they asked Zhou Ruyi to look at the report, and since there was nothing wrong, they left the hospital.
Yu Zhan drove, and Luo Shu sat in the passenger seat, seemingly in a good mood, humming a song all the way home.
"So happy?" Yu Zhan asked casually.
"Hmm, the baby is over three months old now. Look, we'll be able to meet him in a few more months. Do you think he looks like you or me?" Luo Shu carefully examined the report, saying, "He definitely looks more like you. You talk to him all the time; he might only want you after he's born..."
Luo Shu talked to herself for a while, but didn't notice that Yu Zhan's thoughts were a bit off.
"What's wrong with you today? You're so quiet," Luo Shu asked.
"It's nothing." Yu Zhan smiled and reached out to touch her lower abdomen while waiting for the traffic light. "I like listening to you talk."
Luo Shu suddenly thought of Leng Xichen, her gaze falling on Yu Zhan, and said to him, "You and Leng Xichen are quite destined to be brothers in misfortune, both of you met me. If you had met some heartless person, you two would have suffered."
"Hmm." After listening, Yu Zhan could roughly guess why Leng Xichen was unwilling to come back.
He must have had a tough time back then.
According to Lu Min, Leng Xichen returned around the time Su Ting found out about the car accident. If that's the case, then Leng Xichen probably didn't come to help Yu Zhan, but to help Luo Shu.
Didn't he say anything else to you?
"No, come to think of it, I thought he was an idiot back then, he wouldn't answer any questions. I think I met him at the end of the year you got injured, and we've known each other for quite a while, but we lost contact after that."
"..." Yu Zhan.
“That’s not what I meant. It’s just that he didn’t want to say anything at the time, and all I knew was that his name was Xi Chen.”
Luo Shu leaned back in her chair, placed her hand on the back of Yu Zhan's hand, and touched her lower abdomen through his large hand.
"I even gave myself a pseudonym back then, just to be safe," Luo Shu said with a smile.
"What katakana?"
Yu Zhan withdrew his hand, pinched her cheek, then placed his hands on the steering wheel and drove with peace of mind.
"Luo Luo, didn't you hear him call me Luo Luo just now?" Luo Shu asked with a smile.
Yu Zhan chuckled, shook his head, and his brow immediately relaxed.
“Lolo…” he murmured.
So that's how Lolo came to be.
"You're not thinking dirty thoughts, are you? I knew it!" Luo Shu smiled smugly.
Although he didn't say it out loud, and his expression clearly changed, he didn't seem to mind much.
He said, "Everyone has their own friends, and the title is just a name. Of course, I hope it's not very intimate, but you all have your own way of getting along."
Leng Xichen only learned Luo Shu's real name that night. He had spoken carelessly and hadn't corrected himself. Fearing that Yu Zhan would misunderstand, he left in a hurry.
