Chapter 120 You...want a child?
"Having an affair?! Who?! Master Xiao Song?"
Zhu Yunying blinked, feeling puzzled. How could Feng Shuo know the emotional state of a tailor in the town?
Her elbows on the table slipped, and she asked in confusion, "Are you sure?"
The atmosphere suddenly froze.
Feng Shuo gasped, his cheeks puffed up, and his voice dropped several degrees: "Of course I'm sure. Why would I lie to you?"
He raised his eyes with a cold expression. He glanced at her once and then looked away, as if he didn't want to waste any more words with Zhu Yunying.
Zhu Yunying had finally managed to ease the relationship with Feng Shuo, and she couldn't let it go to waste because of an outsider. She secretly made up her mind and moved the bench towards the man.
She curled the corners of her lips and smiled defenselessly:
"I don't mean anything else. I just think he has nothing to do with you. How do you know he's having an affair... what is that?"
After saying that, Zhu Yunying raised her eyebrows, looking like she was simply curious about gossip.
Feng Shuo coughed lightly, tightened his jaw, looked away, and whispered, "I heard his mother has almost hired every matchmaker in town. She's trying to arrange at least several marriages a day. She even set her sights on the art troupe, but she didn't have the connections, so she gave up."
"How do you know?" Zhu Yunying became even more curious.
Feng Shuo glanced at the bicycle parked in the yard.
Zhu Yunying suddenly realized that he must have gone to the repair shop again, as the mechanic said.
This is very interesting!
"Captain Feng, it's just a normal blind date, why are you treating it as an affair? It's not like a leader to randomly accuse someone!"
Zhu Yunying held back her laughter and reached out to poke Feng Shuo's tense face.
Feng Shuo didn't dodge, but he clearly insisted on his own opinion: "He's so nonchalant about marriage and so picky about lesbians. Isn't that promiscuous? If he doesn't want to get married, he should refuse blind dates. If he wants to get married, he should get along well with the person. He's fickle!"
Puff——
Zhu Yunying couldn't help but burst out laughing.
She cupped Feng Shuo's cheeks and squeezed them, her eyes curved into crescents as she said in a cheerful tone, "So, Captain Feng thinks blind dates mean marriage! No wonder, they arranged a childhood engagement, and before we'd even met, they filed a marriage report with me and asked me to join the army."
Feng Shuo frowned as he listened to her words.
Before he could say anything, Zhu Yunying asked directly, "If grandma had arranged another marriage for you, would you have applied for marriage without even meeting her and asked her to join the army?"
Feng Shuo frowned even tighter, and the force felt like it could pinch a fly to death.
He flared his nose slightly, pursed his lips, and suddenly remembered what Shen Qian had said before.
Among the families that Zhu Yunying's mother saved back then, the Feng family was not the only one that had marriageable children of the right age. Both the Luo family and the Xia family had such children.
Even within the Feng family, there were other people who had ideas about this marriage.
But grandma insisted on arranging a marriage for him.
What if the person she married as a child was not him?
Will Zhu Yunying also abandon everything in Haicheng without hesitation and follow the army?
For a moment, Feng Shuo was in a dilemma and regretted mentioning Song Xiaotian's blind date.
"Captain Feng, answer me—"
Zhu Yunyao raised her lips, urging him to answer.
Feng Shuo felt that any answer would be wrong, so he could only ask, "If it weren't for me, would you have joined the army without hesitation?"
"If it's not you, who else could it be?"
Zhu Yunyao moved closer, meeting Feng Shuo's deep gaze. She rolled her eyes in mock thought, and pondered, "Are you talking about the other families? Does Luo Weiguo count?"
“…Forget it!” Feng Shuo gritted his teeth and his breathing became rapid.
Zhu Yunying pursed her lips and shook her head: "He's older than you! I don't like him."
"You're young, and you can even consider it?!"
Feng Shuo regretted it so much. Why did they bring up this topic?
He doesn't care about such assumptions at all!
But Zhu Yunying nodded seriously: "Of course! There are many factors to consider when getting married! What if you are too old and have no common language? What if you always quarrel when chatting? And... and when giving birth, if the parents' age difference is too large, the child's physique may be poor, so we have to consider it too! I came to join you in the army after careful consideration!"
The more Feng Shuo listened, the darker his expression became, and he silently clenched his knuckles on his knees.
He controlled his strength so as not to let Zhu Yunwei notice his embarrassment.
But no matter how suppressed the voice was, it was still trembling.
"You...want a child?"
Zhu Yunying was stunned when she heard this. She slowly stood up, removed her hand from the man's cheek, placed it on the dining table, scratched the edge, and asked in return: "Don't you want a child?"
The air was eerily quiet.
The sun is scorching in midsummer and the cicadas outside are chirping loudly.
But unlike the chirping of cicadas in Haicheng, the symphony of the little ones here was more penetrating, and each sound hit Zhu Yunying's heart like a wave.
The intimacy last night, the word "I like you", the medicine he applied to her, the jealous remarks just now... one thing after another, almost made Zhu Yunying believe that this man was attracted to her.
She actually seriously considered giving him a probation period and going for a check-up together after three months to confirm the baby's condition.
But he forgot that there was only a deal with three rules between the two of them.
They slept in separate beds and lived AA, only to go their separate ways after six months.
My chest felt so stuffy, as if I was back in the summer in Haicheng. The heat was oppressive, like a steamer, making it hard to breathe. A sour and astringent feeling came from nowhere, quickly spread throughout my body, and came out of every pore.
So sad.
She didn't mean to test it, but she accidentally got the answer.
Zhu Yunying's knuckles slipped on the edge of the table. The feeling of weightlessness made it difficult for her to let go. She could only yawn dryly: "I'm full and sleepy again! Ha~~ I'm going to take a nap..."
After saying that, she yawned and went to the master bedroom.
With a click, the door closed.
Feng Shuo remained seated with a stern and gloomy expression, not saying a word.
Only the fists resting on his knees were clenched tighter and tighter.
The nails were about to dig into the flesh of the palm.
How could he not have considered this!
Zhu Yunying would want a child of her own.
His deep eyes, unable to suppress his emotions, slowly closed, and a cracked expression finally appeared on his face.
But there was a mocking smile on the corner of his lips.
She wants a child.
But he...is a childless person.
what to do?
I don’t know how long it took.
Feng Shuo slowly stood up, silently cleaned up the dishes, and left the yard.
…
Zhu Yunyao was lying on the bed, listening to the noise outside with her ears perked up. When she heard footsteps, her heart jumped into her throat, thinking that he would come into the room to see her.
But eventually, the footsteps grew farther and farther away.
Her heart sank.
asshole!
A bastard who doesn't want to take responsibility and abandons his lover!
She doesn't want to pay attention to Feng Shuo anymore!
