Su Yunbai likes to plan ahead. She once had a three-year agreement with Huo Qinian, and the projects on hand were also scheduled according to this time point.

Now she has got the tenured professorship ahead of schedule, but there is no way to finish the projects on hand all at once. Even if she is willing to work overtime to speed up, those collaborative projects cannot be done completely according to her wishes.

Therefore, she will not return to China until two years later.

But no matter what, getting the tenured professorship ahead of schedule is always a good thing.

Su Yunbai is ready to return to China with peace of mind. In the next two years, she does not plan to apply for long-term projects, nor does she plan to recruit new doctoral students... Everything she does is to prepare for leaving.

Her work pressure has also been reduced.

Su Yunbai originally thought that in the next two years, she would enter a very rare "semi-retirement" rhythm. Unexpectedly, a sudden accident completely broke her existing plan.

It all starts when we return from a seaside vacation.

They stayed at the beach for a week, and after returning, Huo Qinian had been planning his second wedding with great interest.

After the successful proposal, his excitement period was unexpectedly long, and he almost wanted to announce to the world that he was getting married in various ways.

Then one day when he came back from outside, his excitement period suddenly passed. Not only that, his expression actually looked a little serious and dazed, as if he was facing some big problem.

Su Yunbai couldn't help but worry about him: "Are you okay?"

Huo Qinian was looking at Su Yunbai with a strange look, which made her feel uneasy. Then he said: "It's okay, I was just thinking... Don't worry, let's wait and see."

Mysterious.

Su Yunbai didn't ask what the matter was, so she didn't care anymore.

But then, Huo Qinian began to become particularly nagging and controlling.

He didn't let Su Yunbai use a knife, even if it was just a simple way to cut fruit.

There were some strange soups on the table, saying that they were good for the body.

After dinner, he would take Su Yunbai out for a walk, but he always seemed overly nervous. He would be alert even when he saw someone walking a dog from a distance...

Occasionally, there were a few mornings when Su Yunbai woke up early and found that Huo Qinian had woken up at some point. He held her with one hand and looked at her in a trance, with a very serious expression, as if he was thinking about something of life and death.

Su Yunbai endured it for more than half a month, and finally couldn't stand it anymore.

She asked him, "Have you done anything to let me down?"

Otherwise, why are you so trembling?

Su Yunbai said this half-jokingly, but in fact, she was already prepared to listen to Huo Qinian's rebuttal.

Who would have thought that Huo Qinian was stunned for a long time, but he didn't deny it, and his expression was unexpectedly hesitant, with a guilty look on his face.

Su Yunbai's alarm went off, and her heart couldn't help but sink.

She was silent for a long time, and instinctively became defensive: "If you regret it, you can just say it directly. I can return the ring to you..."

Huo Qinian was stunned, and his expression changed all of a sudden.

He got anxious and even looked a little stern: "What are you talking about! Can you just say such things? When did I say I regretted it?"

Su Yunbai was impatient: "Then what happened to you? Do you know that you have been acting strangely recently?"

As she spoke, she suddenly felt a surge of anger in her heart, and she couldn't suppress it: "You are simply inexplicable, you are even a little neurotic, do you know? You don't say anything, just waiting for me to guess your thoughts? Do I have so much free time?!"

As soon as the words came out, not to mention Huo Qinian, Su Yunbai herself was stunned.

It was strange, she was not a person who got angry easily, why did she suddenly become so irritable?

Huo Qinian looked at Su Yunbai who was a little confused, and sighed softly in his heart.

He stepped forward and held Su Yunbai's hand.

Su Yunbai frowned and pulled her hand back without thinking, "Don't try that on me."

Huo Qinian was very persistent.

He grabbed Su Yunbai's hand and looked at her directly: "Don't worry, listen to me. There is one thing I haven't told you because I'm not sure and don't want to scare you. But now...

"Yunbai, you may be pregnant."

Su Yunbai denied subconsciously: "What are you kidding, how come I don't know I..." As

she spoke, her voice gradually lowered, and her expression became a little suspicious.

Huo Qinian said: "Your cycle has been over for five days, didn't you notice it yourself? Your work intensity is lower than before, but you seem to be more easily tired than before. Just now, you were also scared by your own anger, weren't you..."

Su Yunbai looked at him in a daze.

Huo Qinian said, "I have an appointment with the doctor, let's go and see, okay?"

Su Yunbai came back to his senses after a long time, and his voice was a little harsh: "You knew it a long time ago? How did you know?"

He showed signs of abnormality at least two weeks ago.

How is it possible?

Huo Qinian hesitated for a long time, and said carefully: "At that time, we changed rooms with Qiong En... Do you remember Qiong En's female companion? The reason why she was so unhappy was because she... tampered with something. She wanted to get pregnant and then tie Qiong En up in this way, and we accidentally..." "

Stop talking! "Suddenly, large patches of goose bumps appeared on Su Yunbai's arms. A feeling of nausea suddenly surged into her throat, and it became stronger and stronger.

She pushed Huo Qinian away and ran straight to the bathroom.

Huo Qinian's face changed all of a sudden.

He knew what Su Yunbai was afraid of, and hurriedly chased after her to explain: "...There are not so many disgusting things, don't scare yourself, it's just a broken condom. You know, it's not difficult, just use any beauty needle to prick it...

"If it makes you feel better, we used the one provided by the hotel once..."

In response to him, Su Yunbai's even stronger dry vomiting reaction.

Huo Qinian closed his mouth, thought quickly, and quickly changed his approach: "If you think about it this way, this is actually a very good opportunity, right? You see, you have already got a tenured teaching position, and we are preparing to return home soon. You will definitely be busy when you return home, and now is a rare period of free time...

"Although this matter is very sudden, why not?

"This is a surprise for us! We've reconciled, you said yes to my proposal, and then we have it, isn't this a romantic coincidence?

" "We should actually be grateful for this accident..."

Huo Qinian spoke very quickly, and became more and more anxious.

Su Yunbai's symptoms did not get better.

Huo Qinian seemed to be a little confused: "If you don't like it... I know this disrupts your plan, no matter what, it will always make you work harder..."

"But if you don't like it, if you are disgusted, we... I... I can try my best to respect your decision."

He said it with great difficulty.

Su Yunbai finally stopped vomiting.

She raised her head, a thin layer of sweat appeared on her forehead, her face was a little pale, but her expression was fierce: "What do you mean? If it's true... you don't want it?"

She suddenly remembered the temptation from Huo Qinian a few years ago.

After so many years, the grievance suddenly came back, and she couldn't suppress it.

Su Yunbai's eyes suddenly turned red: "You didn't want it before, so you tested me like that... No wonder you have been acting so strange recently...

" Go away, I don't want to see you!"

Huo Qinian suddenly became anxious: "Who said I don't want it? I'm afraid you have concerns in your heart... I admit that I was confused before, but even at that time, I was just eager to confirm the result. If you really have it, I can't possibly not want it.

"Yunbai, you can't slander me like that. I admit that I wasn't looking forward to a new life at that time, but that doesn't mean I would force you to give up - I mean if you really get pregnant.

" "I haven't been so careless about my life... Yunbai, you can't think of me like that."

Su Yunbai was very good at grasping the key points: "You said you don't look forward to it? Sure enough, this is what you really think, right?"

It was not until now that she realized that some scars were still there.

If it weren't for this accident, she would not have taken the initiative to mention any topic related to children.

She was still frightened.

Huo Qinian's scalp was a little numb: "No, I mean before! That was in the past.

"Yunbai, I'm already over 30 years old. At my age, it's considered late to marry and have children. How can you think I'm not looking forward to it? The children of my peers are even in kindergarten..."

Su Yunbai sneered: "So you should blame me? You thought it was time to get married, so you found me; now you think it's time to have children, so it's natural that you're looking forward to it again?

"On what basis? Huo Qinian, who do you think of me? !"

She was completely angry.

Huo Qinian held back the rebuttal that was about to come out of his mouth, took a deep breath, and said: "Don't be angry, listen to my explanation, okay? I know I may have overreacted recently, but it's not for any reason you think, but...

"That's right. I found out about this after we came back from the beach. At that time I was still not sure, there is always a probability, right? But there is nothing we can do but wait.

"In that case, why should I scare you?

"Later, I was vaguely certain of it. But I... I admit that this is a bit cowardly, but I have some concerns in my heart..."

He pursed his lips, "I'm afraid that I will not be good to it. It was this concern before, and it is still this concern now... I admit that I have never been prepared."

Huo Qinian whispered: "I used to hate people comparing me with my father the most. I didn't want to be similar to him in any way. But later I slowly discovered that we are really father and son.

"Blood ties are so magical. I am really like him in some ways... Especially in dealing with feelings." Huo Qinian said, revealing a complicated look, as if he was a little jealous and unwilling.

Su Yunbai's heart twitched for no reason.

Huo Qinian said: "Just think of it as me worrying about nothing, but I... I can't help but worry. I am afraid that my child will suffer the same fate as me in the future.

"I have never been a father, so I don't know what that feeling is like. Before I am ready, I don't want to welcome a new life casually. I just... I am a little afraid that I will not be good to it..."

Huo Qinian spoke from the bottom of his heart. When he

said these words, he expected to get Su Yunbai's protection and understanding.

But the result was very different from his expectations.

As soon as he finished speaking, Su Yunbai's expression became a little subtle. She couldn't help showing a little vigilance, as if she had seen that Huo Qinian was not good to the future baby. No

matter how complicated Huo Qinian's psychological activities were, he couldn't help but break down at this moment.

Isn't this right? Shouldn't she firmly refute him and say that she believed he would be a good father?

Could it be that his reputation is really worth only that little?

At this moment, Huo Qinian has already determined that Su Yunbai is pregnant. Otherwise, she would not express it so obviously and so openly.

Her current thinking is really too direct. She doesn't talk about reason at all, and she doesn't care much about his complicated mental journey.

Huo Qinian's heart has begun to sour.

It has just begun, and his status is already going to decline?

Perhaps Huo Qinian's performance is too obvious, Su Yunbai finally reluctantly spared some time to take care of his fragile mood.

But her angle of "care" seems a little strange.

She said: "How about we not get married first? In fact, I can raise it alone."

She said it seriously.

Huo Qinian took a breath and couldn't catch his breath.

Su Yunbai is really too much to handle now.

Wasn't she a little cautious about this possible baby before? Why did she suddenly go so far as to raise it alone?

Are pregnant women so cunning?

Or did she suddenly hold a grudge and want to vent her anger for what happened in the past?

Huo Qinian sighed: "You really are not afraid that I will narrow my path..."

Isn't this pushing him to the side?

Aunt Liu, who had been listening to the whole thing, finally couldn't help it.

What's wrong with these two young people? They both acted stupidly just after they confirmed that they were pregnant?

Sure enough, young people who have no experience are unreliable.

Aunt Liu felt that she had a great responsibility.

She suddenly became very resolute, and she was not even afraid of Huo Qinian: "You two, don't talk about these weird things for now..." They

are just too idle.

She said: "You go for a check-up first, let's confirm it first, and then arrange the future.

"You have a lot of things to worry about. Prenatal education is popular now, how are you going to teach? Raising a baby is not a trivial matter. It is very hard work. Does your wife have any arrangements for work?

"Besides, have you decided what to name the child? Is it a boy or a girl? Do you want to let Mr. Huo know? Do you want to get a certificate first?

" "Will this baby be born here? Is it an American baby?"

Aunt Liu said a lot of things lightly.

The two listened in a daze, and their attention was distracted at once.

Huo Qinian finally came to his senses: "Yes, we have to go for a check-up first. Yunbai, let's not talk about other things for now, okay? In short, don't think too much. Although this matter is a bit beyond our expectations, it is a surprise!

"Don't put the blame on me anymore."

He really couldn't stand it.

The test results came out that day. Su Yunbai brought back a report confirming her pregnancy, while Huo Qinian went to the bookstore and browsed a whole cart of books on topics such as pregnancy, prenatal education, and being a parent.

——It was impossible to expect Su Yunbai to understand his trembling mood. In just one afternoon, she had already seamlessly turned on the cub protection mode, and she didn't like him no matter how she looked at him.

He had to learn to be a reliable father himself to prove himself!

Let's take Mr. Huo as a counterexample.

The author has something to say:
