In the weeks after the wedding, the days seemed to be slowed down. Li Susu's life was peaceful, yet extremely fulfilling and happy.
She has already outlined the complete framework of her first novel, and the main text, which has been polished repeatedly, has accumulated more than 10,000 words.
Thanks to the best-selling novels that Tang Yixin usually recommends, and her past experience in writing short stories, Li Susu's writing and story-structuring abilities are not bad.
When she nervously handed the outline to Tang Yixin, Tang Yixin's eyes lit up and she felt that the story was quite novel. After making some suggestions for revising a few details, she encouraged her to start writing the main text.
Li Susu originally regarded this work as a practice piece and did not have too high expectations.
But when he submitted a 20,000-word chapter to a novel platform, he not only signed a contract unexpectedly, but also got a guaranteed agreement of 25 yuan per thousand words.
Although her daily income was limited, this recognition ignited her creative passion.
From then on, she started typing every day when she got home, day after day.
It is this concentration that makes her often forget to look at her phone.
The messages sent by Bo Junyi sometimes fell into oblivion, and since Li Susu always took a ride home with Zhou Huaixu these days, he couldn't help but think too much.
One Friday evening, Li Susu sat in Zhou Huaixu's passenger seat as usual.
The car stopped downstairs of the apartment building. When she hurriedly got out of the car, her loose shoelaces suddenly got tangled around her ankle.
She almost fell, and Zhou Huaixu subconsciously reached out to support her.
This was a natural act out of concern, but it happened to be seen by Bo Junyi who was standing on the balcony drinking tea - the intertwined figures of the two looked like an affectionate embrace in the twilight.
A few minutes later, Li Susu opened the door, and before she had time to change her slippers, she was pushed against the entrance wall by a familiar figure.
Bo Junyi's kiss was filled with strong emotions, so hot that it almost suffocated her.
Li Susu keenly sensed something was wrong with the other party through her rapid breathing.
"What's going on? What's this?"
She stroked his hot cheek with her fingertips and asked softly with a smile in her eyes.
Bo Junyi leaned closer, a look of grievance in his eyes, "Why didn't you reply to my text message, huh?"
"I replied." Li Susu was confused and quickly unlocked her phone to check.
Their eyes were focused on the screen at the same time—in the chat box with Zhou Huaixu, the unread text message lay glaringly: [Hubby, I'll be a little late getting out of school today.]
Li Susu's face turned red instantly, and her fingertips swiped the screen in panic.
Bo Junyi's expression was uncertain: "What's going on? Who was it sent to?"
"Of course it's for you!" Li Susu explained hurriedly, "I must have been typing too hastily just now..."
Bo Junyi pondered for a moment: "I'll trust you for now. But don't ride in Zhou Huaixu's car anymore. I'll buy the apartment upstairs and let Tang Yixin move in. I'll give her a salary of 100,000 yuan a month."
"Really?!" Li Susu's eyes lit up instantly.
Bo Junyi scratched her nose and asked, "When has your husband ever cheated on you?"
"But didn't you say 500,000 before? How come it has shrunk so much?" Li Susu blinked cunningly.
Bo Junyi was at a loss for words: "Is your elbow bent outward?"
"Just kidding!" Li Susu threw herself into his arms and acted coquettishly, "How about 200,000? Xinxin definitely won't dare to accept too much."
Bo Junyi took advantage of the situation and held her in his arms, his warm breath brushing against her ear: "I'll listen to you. But you have to agree to one condition - even if we have a fight in the future, you are not allowed to run to Tang Yixin's place out of anger."
Li Susu looked up at him earnestly, then poked his chest with her fingertips. "Got it! I promise I won't let Mr. Bo stay alone."
Before she finished her words, Li Susu suddenly froze, her eyes fixed on her slightly bulging belly.
Bo Junyi frowned slightly, leaned closer and asked softly, "What's wrong?"
Li Susu subconsciously protected her abdomen, her fingertips trembling slightly: "I feel something moving in my stomach, like there are small fish swimming around..."
The ending tone carries an irrepressible surprise.
A gentle curve appeared on the corner of the man's mouth, and he gently held her in his arms with his long arms.
His bony palm rested on her soft belly, stroking it gently again and again: "This is fetal movement."
He lowered his eyes to look at Li Susu's blushing cheeks, his eyes filled with tenderness. "Tomorrow is the weekend. I'll take you to the hospital to see the baby."
Li Susu held her breath, feeling the faint tremors in her abdomen.
The subtle throbbing was like the spring breeze blowing across the lake, or like a feather sweeping across the heart, novelty and shock intertwined into a fine electric current.
The corners of her lips rose uncontrollably, she leaned her head on Bo Junyi's shoulder, and a warm wave swept through her heart.
An unprecedented softness and firmness surged up at the same time.
The two little lives growing quietly in her belly are her blood-related concerns in this world.
At this moment, I can only pray sincerely that the baby in her belly can be born safely and smoothly and become the most precious gift in her life.
Bo Junyi acted decisively and completed the transfer procedures in just two days, and redesigned and renovated the three-bedroom, one-living-room apartment upstairs.
When Tang Yixin opened the door of her new home, she was greeted by the warm lighting, simple and stylish furniture, and specially arranged green plants and flowers, all showing the care put into the design.
She was so excited that she kept jumping up and down: "Susu, I'm finally hooking up with a rich woman!"
From then on, Li Susu and Tang Yixin went to and from school in the same car every day.
Li Susu smiled more often, and her whole person became more cheerful and lively.
Seeing her happy face, Bo Junyi finally felt relieved.
On a rainy weekday, Bo Junyi stayed at the company to work overtime due to urgent official business. Li Susu directly asked Tang Yixin to accompany him to the hospital for a prenatal check-up.
