"Hmm, I just looked around and found something's wrong in the south. That guy probably fled south." Qingzhen pointed in the south.
"Escape to the south?" I glanced at it; there was only one direction, so it wasn't easy to find.
"You, let's go take a look." I tugged at You, insisting that we should go south first.
"good."
The three of us headed south, but even after seeing the sea for a long time, we still couldn't find any trace of the evil spirits.
I reckon that evil spirit is probably nowhere to be found; I wonder where it has hidden itself.
"Qingzhen," I said, looking at the azure sea before me, "go back to the village and keep watch. Contact us anytime if anything happens."
"Okay." Qingzhen nodded and then disappeared.
You and I stayed at the beach for a while before heading back. Zifeng texted me again, saying she was about to give birth and wanted me to come and keep her company.
"You, let's go home first." I tugged at You's sleeve.
"good."
After we returned to the city, we went to the wisteria vines first.
Gu Yue, Zi Teng's boyfriend, was also there; it was he who opened the door.
"You've arrived. Thank you for keeping the wisteria company."
"It's nothing." I shook my head and glanced at Gu Yue's clothes. "Are you getting ready to go out?"
Gu Yue nodded, "That's right, I have some work to take care of, so I'll trouble you to keep Zi Teng company."
"It's alright, you can go ahead." I waved my hand.
"Yes, thank you."
After exchanging pleasantries with us, Gu Yue left the house, and I went to the room on the second floor, which was familiar to me.
"Wisteria, wisteria, I've come to see you."
"Stop howling, I heard you downstairs just now."
"How are you feeling now?" I took a few steps forward. Wisteria's belly was getting bigger and bigger, like a giant balloon.
Wisteria smiled and said, "It's nothing, I just feel a bit unwell and it's not very convenient to move around." Wisteria sighed again, "After I give birth in a few days, I'm definitely going to go out and have some fun."
I sat by the bedside of Zi Teng, gently touching her swollen belly. I could already hear the baby's heartbeat.
"This child will definitely be restless and mischievous in the future."
“Who says otherwise?” Wisteria smiled and patted her belly. “This period of pregnancy has really worn me out.”
"It's okay, it's only a few days away, isn't it?" I remember that Wisteria's due date is in the next few days. Just thinking about how a baby will soon emerge from Wisteria's belly, and how the baby will grow up quickly and call me "Mommy" in a soft and sweet voice, it's really amazing.
I looked at the wisteria with envy, wondering when I would be able to have another baby.
If I were given another chance to be a mother, I would definitely listen to You's advice in everything and never think about going out all the time again.
"She's about to give birth." Zi Teng's face was pale, but her expression was radiant.
"By the way, where did Gu Yue go? Why isn't he with you at this crucial moment? What kind of work is he doing?" Actually, I was just about to say this at the door: what job could be more important than my wife giving birth?
One is your wife, and the other is your child; both are the most important people in your life.
"He has a little thing to take care of outside, he should be back tonight." As I expected, Zifang didn't say a bad word about Guyue in front of me.
"That explains why you called me here in such a hurry."
"Well, Gu Yue went out, so I was all alone and wanted to ask you to come and keep me company."
Wisteria and I chatted while watching TV. Wisteria's room has a projector, and if you draw the curtains, it's a great place to watch movies.
We were having a great time talking when there was a knock at the door. "Madam, it's time for dinner."
"Okay," Zi Teng replied.
I helped Zi Teng slowly get out of bed. When we went downstairs, I was extra careful, afraid that Zi Teng might lose her footing and fall.
"Wisteria, if you ask me, you should find a room on the first floor to stay in now, otherwise it's not convenient to keep climbing up and down like this."
"What do you take me for? I'm not that fragile. It's just a small step."
That's true, but it's always better to be cautious.
Most of the food on the table was specially prepared for pregnant women, all of which were suitable for Zifang and tasted very good.
In a few words, the three of us finished our meal and went upstairs to watch the movie we hadn't finished watching earlier.
Wisteria and I sat on the bed, watching a movie and laughing, with snacks in our hands.
I suddenly glanced at You. You was sitting alone on the sofa in the bedroom, her legs crossed, her eyes not on the TV, I wondered what she was thinking.
Actually, I think You must have been in a lot of pain every time she accompanied me to see Zi Teng. Zi Teng and I had a lot of fun, but You never said much and just quietly followed behind me.
Sometimes I would deliberately talk to You to help her fit in with us, but You would only respond indifferently. After a while, I realized that You didn't want to talk much in front of Zi Teng.
I looked away and continued watching the movie. The movie that was just now so enjoyable suddenly became boring for some reason. I just wanted to go back with You as soon as possible and spend some quality time with her.
"What's wrong with you?" Wisteria noticed that something was wrong with me and asked.
"Ah, it's nothing." I waved my hand.
I stayed with the wisteria until Gu Yue returned in the evening before saying goodbye to it.
After leaving Wisteria's house, I tugged at You's sleeve.
"What's wrong?"
"Were you bored at Wisteria's house?" I asked cautiously, looking into You's eyes.
You couldn't help but chuckle. "Where did you get the idea that I'm boring?"
"When Zifang and I were watching TV, you just sat on the sofa the whole time, neither talking to us nor watching TV." Thinking about how You always sat alone like that, I suddenly felt a pang of heartache.
Am I looking for wisteria too often?
"I'm not bored." You ruffled my hair. "What's that head of yours thinking about all day?"
I'm thinking of you.
You's smile deepened.
You and I drove back to our home. I went upstairs to wash up first, and You went to park the car.
After we washed up, we lay down on the bed together. "You, Zi Teng is about to give birth."
"I can tell."
"Do you think it's a boy or a girl?" I asked, tugging at You's sleeve with a hint of curiosity.
"You didn't see it?"
"I didn't see it." I honestly shook my head. "Ziteng wouldn't let me see it. She said it doesn't matter if it's a boy or a girl, it'll be a surprise for him when it's born."
You looked at me with surprise in her eyes, "I took a look."
"You actually read it?!" I was both surprised and curious, wanting to know but also afraid that Zifang would find out.
"You want to know?"
"I...I don't want to know." I said, covering my ears. Anyway, the truth would come out once Zi Teng was born.
"Then I won't say anything." You didn't try to persuade me.
But this made me even more curious.
