The Go competition that I had been looking forward to did not take place due to various unexpected events.
However, even though the competition was a failure, Lou Jiyun was like a stone thrown into a lake, causing ripples in Su Banxia's life and disturbing her originally peaceful life.
During this period, Su Banxia's thoughts always drifted involuntarily towards Lou Jiyun, and she often became dazed without realizing it.
Even some trivial things could easily remind her of Lou Jiyun's low voice and gentle eyes.
Once, her second sister-in-law Qu Qingdai wanted her to go out and play with her, and she said affectionately: "Please, Xia Xia."
It was just such a simple sentence, but it was like a switch, instantly triggering the sensitive nerves deep in Su Banxia's heart. Her whole body suddenly shuddered, her scalp felt numb, and the numb feeling spread from the top of her head to the soles of her feet.
"Sister-in-law, don't ask me for help. It sounds weird." Su Banxia's eyes were evasive, as if she was deliberately avoiding something.
Upon hearing this, Qu Qingdai's face lit up with confusion. She tilted her head slightly and looked at Su Banxia with doubt, her heart filled with confusion. In her impression, Su Banxia was not like this on a daily basis. They often joked like this between them, and she had never had such a reaction.
"What's wrong, Xia Xia? What happened to you today?" Qu Qingdai asked with concern, her eyes full of worry.
Su Banxia realized that her reaction was a bit extreme, and quickly smiled awkwardly and explained, "It's nothing, sister-in-law, I just... I just suddenly felt that it was a bit awkward to say this."
After this incident, Qu Qingdai was always thinking about Su Banxia's abnormal reaction.
At night, she and Su Jingmo were lying in bed, and she couldn't help but talk about this matter.
"Jingmo, Xia Xia has been acting strangely lately. It's okay that she likes to daydream, but today I asked her to go out and play with me, and she actually told me not to say that. What kind of logic is that? We used to make jokes like this all the time, but her reaction lately is really a bit too big." Qu Qingdai said as she gently nudged Su Jingmo with her elbow, her eyes full of confusion.
Su Jingmo frowned slightly, and after thinking for a moment, he said, "Has there been any recent situation with her?"
"In love!" Qu Qingdai suddenly widened her eyes and exclaimed excitedly, with a gossipy smile on her face.
"Even if it's not a love relationship, it's probably related to a man. What I said in the group before, could it be true?" Su Jingmo said thoughtfully.
Qu Qingdai and Su Jingmo's speculations were only discussed privately and not mentioned to others. After all, they were just speculations and had no solid evidence. Moreover, Su Banxia was already an adult with her own ideas and life, and they should respect her choices.
As the second brother, Su Jingmo is actually quite open-minded. He thinks there is nothing unacceptable about his sister having a partner.
The only thing that worries him is his father Su Liuxing. Su Liuxing is a well-known daughter slave and loves Su Banxia very much. He doesn't know how he would react if he knew that his daughter had a boyfriend.
Thinking of this, Su Jingmo couldn't help but sigh softly, with a helpless smile on his face.
…
Time slipped away like sand through fingers, slipping away without notice. Ever since her unexpected encounter with Lou Jiyun at home, Su Banxia's life seemed to have returned to its former tranquility, and her interactions with him had vanished like a kite with its string cut.
In the blink of an eye, the May Day holiday is here as expected.
Night had just fallen, and soft light shone through the Su family's spacious dining room. The entire Su family, along with Qu Qingzhu and Qin Yunie, gathered around the table, creating a warm and lively atmosphere. Usually, at this time of year, conversations would mostly revolve around work, the children's studies, and the like, but this year, the atmosphere was somewhat different. Everyone's gaze and conversation were focused on Huo Jianqiu's slightly bulging belly.
Old Madam Su looked at Huo Jianqiu lovingly, her eyes full of concern and expectation, and called softly, "Jianqiu..."
"Hey, grandma." Huo Jianqiu responded gently, a happy smile on her face, and her voice was filled with the joy and sweetness of becoming a mother.
"Is your due date approaching? How are you feeling? Do you want to go to the hospital early?"
Huo Jianqiu patted her belly gently and comforted her with a smile: "It's okay, grandma, I'm fine. Just rest assured that Zeqi is with you." As she spoke, she turned to look at Su Zeqi beside her, her eyes full of dependence and trust.
Su Zeqi felt his wife's gaze, reached out and gently put his arm around her shoulders, and said firmly, "Yes, grandma, just be a great-grandmother! I will always be with Jianqiu and take good care of her."
"Okay, okay!" Old Madam Su nodded repeatedly, and the wrinkles on her face turned into a smile. Her eyes swept across everyone's faces one by one, and finally landed on Qu Qingdai, "When are Daidai and Jingmo going to have a baby?"
When Qu Qingdai heard this, her originally fair cheeks instantly flushed. She looked at Su Jingmo shyly, with a hint of helplessness in her eyes.
Su Jingmo noticed his wife's embarrassment, gently held her hand, gave her a comforting look, then smiled and said to Mrs. Su: "Grandma, we are not in a hurry. After my eldest brother and his wife's child is born, Dai Dai and I will practice how to take care of the baby first."
"Look at what you are saying. If you want to practice, do it yourself!" Su Zeqi couldn't help but retort.
Qu Qingdai also quickly followed and said, "Grandma, we are not in a hurry, let's take our time."
