When Su Yunbai parked the car downstairs of the community building, it was almost dark. The gray skylight enveloped the half-new and half-old community buildings, which were dotted with scattered lights that lit up one after another.

It was clearly the usual and lively smell of fireworks, but in Su Yunbai's eyes, it was like stepping on empty air, making people feel empty inside.

Su Yunbai half leaned on the steering wheel, lost in thought.

The lights on the dashboard soon went out naturally, and dusk came all around. Before it drowned Su Yunbai, someone knocked on her car window.

Su Yunbai turned her head subconsciously.

Aunt Liu, a neighbor downstairs, looked at her through a car window: "Is it really you? Why did you come back so late, kid? Have you eaten? Your grandma..." She

stopped talking halfway.

Su Yunbai's grandmother was diagnosed with liver cancer three months ago. It was in the late stage. The disease progressed too fast and she died soon. Even the funeral was done half a month ago.

When the name of the old friend was mentioned again, not only Su Yunbai was unable to come out of it, but even Aunt Liu was a little dazed.

Su Yunbai forced a smile and said, "I just got off work and came to sort out the things my grandma left behind."

As she got out of the car, she found a little boy standing next to Aunt Liu's legs.

This is Aunt Liu's grandson, nicknamed Zhuangzhuang.

Seeing Su Yunbai looking over, Zhuangzhuang grinned, looking very happy: "Sister Baibai, it's Sister Baibai!"

Aunt Liu glared at him: "I've told you so many times, call me aunt."

Su Yunbai waved her hands: "Don't bluff him, he'll understand when he grows up." She said this, smiled at Zhuangzhuang again, stretched out her hand to touch his head, and thought of her heavy mourning, so she gave up.

She looked at Aunt Liu: "Are you taking Zhuangzhuang to help him digest food?"

Aunt Liu replied: "Isn't it? The bad boy has a bad temper and doesn't like home every day..."

Two adults took a child and walked towards home while talking.

Su Yunbai's home is at the innermost part of the community. From the parking lot to the home, you have to pass through a long corridor. Although it was not early at this time, the neighbors had been friends for decades and the human touch was particularly strong. This time after dinner was the perfect time for everyone to gather and chat.

Su Yunbai followed Aunt Liu and called out grandpa, grandma, uncle, and aunt along the way.

When the three of them disappeared, the crowd was silent for a long time, and someone sighed, "Although Teacher Su's fate was not very good, it must be said that she was still capable. Look at Yunbai, who she raised. He is a university professor! Very respectable!"

The topic of the chat then shifted to Teacher Su's family affairs.

Teacher Su was Su Yunbai's grandmother. The old lady has been a teacher for her whole life. Although her real name may not be remembered by people, she is known by her neighbor as Teacher Su.

Some people said, "Yunbai was respectable, but her luck... Oh! Teacher Su was such a good person, and she passed away suddenly. Yunbai was raised by her and was the closest to her. Yunbai must have felt bad for a long time because of this sudden death."

"Yunbai's family is not good enough. She is not close to her parents, so she will be alone in the future."

"What are you talking about! She is married, and her husband is said to be very rich. She has a small family, so how can she be alone?"

"Speaking of this, I have heard about Yunbai's husband many times. What is he like?"

"That's right! Yunbai has been married for two or three years, right? Why does she always come back alone to see Teacher Su? Where's her husband? Why is he never seen?"

Someone lowered his voice and said mysteriously: "I heard that the couple's relationship is not very good..."

There was a hint of excitement in the words.

Maybe the words were a bit harsh, and someone immediately retorted: "Where did you hear this? With Yunbai's talent, she can live a good life with anyone! What nonsense are you talking about? How can you make money by nagging that the couple's relationship is not good?

"Besides, doesn't Yunbai always pick up Teacher Su to go to her place? If the couple's relationship is not good, do you think Yunbai dares to be so considerate to her grandmother every day? "

Someone tried to smooth things over and said, "Young people nowadays are not as affectionate as we used to be. It may not be what we think it is, so don't make blind guesses.

" "But Yunbai's husband... his last name is Huo, right? I guess he seldom comes here?"

"You have to ask me about that! His last name is Huo. Although little Huo doesn't come here often, it's not like he's never been here. The most recent time was when Teacher Su was handling the funeral.

"I did look carefully. Apart from anything else, he looks very energetic! He's well-dressed, speaks fluently, and is a good match for Yunbai!

"But he doesn't seem to be the same kind of person as us. When he stood in the corridor and greeted me, I didn't dare to respond..."

A group of people laughed and said it was exaggerated.

Someone then sighed, "These days, everything is empty, you still have to have a child. With a child, you can have a small family! Otherwise, in the end, you're still alone..."

"Very, very much. Everything else is empty, having a child is a big deal..."

They kept on talking.

Although Su Yunbai didn't hear such idle talk in person, he could probably guess a little bit - no matter how the topic turned, it would eventually turn to marriage and having children.

Especially having children.

After Su Yunbai got married, the elders of the Huo family and even the neighbors here had inquired about this kind of news many times.

Occasionally, Su Yunbai would feel that the world was absurd. Marriage, family relationships, the next generation... It seemed that everyone around them was very concerned about these things.

Except for themselves.

To be more precise, except Huo Qinian.

Aunt Liu was no exception and asked tentatively, "Didn't Xiao Huo come back with you?"

Su Yunbai answered calmly, "He's been working overtime recently."

Aunt Liu muttered, "You young people should work hard for your career, but don't forget to take care of your family. Although you are still young, you are old enough to have children, so you should let Xiao Huo pay more attention to him..."

Su Yunbai took a deep breath and pursed her lips.

Recently, she has been particularly impatient with such topics. Although she was used to hearing these words, they sounded harsh in a new way.

Despite this, she still smiled and responded, "You're right."

The long road finally came to an end - Aunt Liu's home was reached.

Su Yunbai felt relieved. She said hello to Aunt Liu and walked up again.

Aunt Liu's house and Su Yunbai's house are in the same building, but her house is on the second floor and Aunt Liu's house is on the first floor.

This building is one of the first buildings built in the community. Over the past few decades, the original residents have either been replaced or passed away, or have followed the younger generation to settle in new places. So now it seems that the whole building is particularly deserted.

Su Yunbai is also used to this kind of desolation and doesn't care.

She skillfully opened the door and turned on the light.

The warm white light dispelled the gray and black in the room, and the familiar scene and the layout of three bedrooms, one living room and one bathroom came into view. Su Yunbai couldn't help but take a deep breath.

It had only been half a month since anyone had lived there, but the house looked so empty, and even gave her a particularly old feeling, as if everything was covered with a layer of dust.

Su Yunbai sat down on the sofa and let out a long breath. She

still felt irritated.

She supported her forehead and sat there quietly for ten minutes. Finally, she perked up and thought about calling home.

She took out her cell phone, and before she could wake up the screen, the doorbell rang.

Is there anyone here at this time?

Su Yunbai put down her phone and got up to open the door.

As soon as the door opened, Aunt Liu came in with a big bowl of dumplings, and said as she walked: "I thought you must not have eaten at this time. Zhuangzhuang is clamoring for dumplings tonight, and there are still most of them left. I'll pick a few for you, and you should eat them quickly. Don't take advantage of your youth and don't know how to take care of yourself..."

Su Yunbai suddenly frowned.

Aunt Liu was a considerate person, and the dumplings she brought for Su Yunbai were still steaming. The smell of dumplings stuffed with pork spread in the room with Aunt Liu's footsteps, rushing straight into Su Yunbai's nose.

It was obviously a very strong fragrance, but it made Su Yunbai extremely sick.

She frowned and tried to hold it in for a long time, but couldn't help it. The feeling of nausea became stronger and stronger, and she couldn't suppress it.

Su Yunbai went straight to the toilet.

She leaned on the toilet and tried to vomit for a long time. Sweat came out of her forehead, but she didn't vomit anything.

Only then did she realize that she didn't seem to eat lunch well.

No wonder she couldn't even vomit.

Su Yunbai's heart beat faster in her chest, and she broke out in sweat. After she took a breath, she remembered that Aunt Liu was still left aside by her.

She stood up and walked out. When she turned around, she saw Aunt Liu standing at the door of the toilet, looking at her. Her expression seemed a little anxious, but also a little surprised. The mixture looked a little weird.

Aunt Liu looked at Su Yunbai, or to be more precise, at Su Yunbai's belly, and said carefully: "Yunbai, are you pregnant?"

Su Yunbai looked confused. After realizing what Aunt Liu meant, she was stunned for a moment.

Pregnant? Does this mean... pregnant?

After a brief moment of shock, Su Yunbai quickly came back to her senses.

Although vomiting because of the smell of dumplings is quite tempting, it is too ridiculous to say that she is pregnant based on this.

Su Yunbai subconsciously explained.

Unfortunately, no matter what she said, Aunt Liu smiled with her eyes narrowed, as if she knew everything, with an ambiguous and considerate look. She just held Su Yunbai's hand and talked about her experience as a "veteran", saying that it is better to be prepared and it will be useful sooner or later.

It was more than half an hour after Aunt Liu left.

Su Yunbai sat on the sofa, dazed.

Although she kept explaining to Aunt Liu, she couldn't help but be a little cautious in her heart.

Pregnant? It can't be?

The last time with Huo Qinian...

Su Yunbai frowned.

There have been too many things happening recently. She has always been like this. Once her life is messy and she is in a bad mood, her menstrual period is easy to be irregular. When was her last menstrual period? She couldn't even remember it at this moment. She feels like

vomiting when she smells meat...

She hasn't had a good appetite recently, and often doesn't feel hungry for a whole day without eating...

Can this be true?

Su Yunbai put her hand on her abdomen, and her expression gradually revealed a sense of confusion.

For a few minutes, Su Yunbai seemed to think a lot, and yet seemed to think nothing.

When she came back to her senses, the mobile phone was already firmly grasped in her palm, and it was even hot.

Su Yunbai took a deep breath, lowered her eyes, and saw the breathing light on the mobile phone screen flashing.

This means there is a new message.

She turned on the screen of the mobile phone.

The small window on the screen prompted her that there was an unread text message from an unknown contact.

Su Yunbai saw the familiar number without a name, and her heart sank slightly.

Despite this, she still clicked on the text message.
