Chapter 53: Even with a Big Belly, She Still Can’t Rest
"Brother Xiao, what are you talking about? This is the famous star Bai Qingfeng, how could he be my boyfriend?"
Lin Shuang grabbed the hem of her clothes and slowly moved closer to Shen Jinxiao, her happiness was beyond words, "Did my dad tell you that I had his stickers in my room, and you were angry?"
As she spoke, she suddenly looked enlightened, and raised one hand to swear, "Brother Xiao, don't worry, the only person I like from beginning to end is you, that Bai Qingfeng is just your substitute..."
Shen Jinxiao got the answer and his expression eased a little.
Seeing that this inexplicably creepy girl was about to stick to him and even spit saliva on his face, he hurried down the stairs and stood two meters away from her.
Shen Jinxiao crumpled up the sticker of a male celebrity called "Daytime Madness" in his hand and threw it far away.
Only then did he let out a long sigh of relief.
Not bad, not bad.
This male star is just a stand-in for the girls nowadays.
It was his fault that he had misunderstood Meng Shuyue before, thinking that it was not enough that she had already hidden a man in her heart, but she also hid another man.
Thinking of this, Shen Jinxiao carried the cardboard box in one hand, and his desire to return to North Street became stronger and stronger, and his steps became more and more brisk.
Lin Shuang was left alone, chasing on the stairs with her short legs, giggling non-stop, but she couldn't even get the man to look back.
The instructor and his wife, who had been leaning their heads out from upstairs to watch the excitement, withdrew their gaze from the railing, shook their heads and said nothing.
"Captain Shen has a nice appearance, but he doesn't know how to be gentle with women."
"I heard that he got married a while ago, but why haven't I seen him living with his wife? Is it true that as the rumors say, Captain Shen was injured in a mission a long time ago? So it's not possible..."
The instructor's wife kept chattering, touching her three-month-old belly and pushing her husband into the house.
Just as he was halfway through his words, he saw Shen Jinxiao, who had just walked away, running up to them carrying a large cardboard box.
When Instructor Li’s wife saw that she was caught saying bad things about someone, she was so scared that she almost screamed.
"I'm sorry, Captain Shen, my wife also heard it from hearsay, don't take it seriously..."
Instructor Li was afraid that he would get angry, so he hurried forward to explain, but was interrupted hastily by Shen Jinxiao without blushing or beating his heart.
"Lao Li, your wife has been pregnant for several months, why is her belly so small?"
Instructor Li and his wife looked at each other, stunned by Shen Jinxiao's sudden question...

Shen Jinxiao carried the cardboard box to the Chinese medicine clinic with a heavy heart.
He poked his head and looked into the store.
The woman was seen with her visibly bulging belly, swatting flies everywhere with a fly swatter, looking resentful.
Shen Jinxiao's eyes fell on the woman's belly, which was almost twice as big as others, and he wondered in his heart, could it be that this wife really had two babies in her belly?
He coughed lightly and walked in, unloading the cardboard box on his shoulder to the ground.
When Meng Shuyue saw him coming back, she quickly swept the fly meat on the table into the trash can, clapped her hands and trotted over, "You're back. I'll be waiting for you to come back and have dinner together."
As she said this, she tried to pull Shen Jinxiao to the inner room to eat, but Shen Jinxiao held her hand back and circled it in his palm.
"I happen to have some books in my family compound. Do you think they can be used?"
Hearing this, Meng Shuyue followed his gaze and looked at the cardboard box at his feet.
Inside were several rare ancient medical books that she couldn't even find in the library.
Meng Shuyue leaned over and picked up a few books as if they were treasures. "How do you know I like to read these?"
As soon as Shen Jinxiao's hand holding the woman's was empty, he felt his heart become empty as well.
His eyes were always on her belly, and he felt a sour feeling in his nose for some reason.
How did he know she liked these?
Of course, he had been silently paying attention to her for a long time.
Just over a month ago, he was still making excuses for himself, saying that he only married her for the sake of harmony in his sister's family.
Now, he finally saw his own heart clearly.
Even though he knew that she liked someone else and was pregnant with someone else's child, he was happy to be the scapegoat.
God knows how happy he would be if the baby in her belly was his.
Shen Jinxiao looked at the dimples on the woman's fair cheeks, reached out and poked it unconsciously, and said with a straight face, "You received the things, how should you thank me, your husband?"
Meng Shuyue was flipping through the book with great joy. She glanced at the busy wonton shop owner opposite her, stood on tiptoe and kissed the man on the cold cheek, then covered her face with the book and ran away.
There was a warm, wet feeling on my cheek.
The ice on Shen Jinxiao's face shattered, and his whole body froze in place as if he had been electrocuted, and he couldn't recover for a long time.
He just wanted to borrow this box of books to get her to agree to let him move in.
I didn't expect that she would actually take the initiative to kiss him!
What does she mean?
What does it mean?
Shen Jinxiao's mind was filled with turmoil, but he couldn't suppress the smile on his lips.
He had never interacted with girls before, so he really didn't know what it meant for a girl to run away into the inner room with a shy look on her face after being kissed.
Thinking of the swaying figure of the woman as she ran away, Shen Jinxiao's face flushed. He subconsciously glanced at the wonton shop opposite, which was doing a booming business. He took the initiative to pick up the wooden board, closed the door, and bolted it. Hun had already followed the woman into the house.
The owner of the wonton shop opposite was scooping wontons from the pot with an iron spoon, and salt and chopped green onions were flying all over the place.
Just when he was very busy, he glanced and saw the pregnant woman on the opposite side standing on tiptoe to kiss the tall man with an ascetic face and a rough body.
In a blink of an eye, the tall man with an ascetic face closed the shop door.
The wonton shop owner looked out at the sun hanging high in the sky and couldn't help shaking his head, "The world is really going downhill. They don't even do business in broad daylight, and they can't rest even with a big belly..."
The sun is shining brightly outside, but it is dark and ambiguous inside.
Shen Jinxiao poured a glass of water, gulped down a big gulp of water, and walked towards the inner room.
He stood at the bottom of the attic, looking up at it solemnly, his whole body tense as if about to explode, and said in a hoarse voice, "Shuyue, I'll go upstairs then..."
As his left foot stepped onto the wooden steps, the woman behind him called out to him, and frightened him so much that his left foot made a big circle and fell back to the ground.
"Why are you standing here? Come and eat."
Meng Shuyue stood under the small door leading to the backyard, looking at the man standing upright inside with a puzzled look, "Also, why did you close the store?"
“No…no…”
Shen Jinxiao came out from under the attic awkwardly, touched his nose and said guiltily, "I'm worried that things in the store will be stolen while we're eating."
Meng Shuyue glanced him up and down, and always felt that something was wrong with him.
When she reached the backyard, she paused, and finally she realized something as if someone had poured a basin of hot water on her.
The man following closely behind her also suddenly stopped walking as she did, and slammed his whole body into her back.
The next moment, Meng Shuyue's back stiffened, and a heat burned from the soles of her feet to her face, making her cheeks so red that blood seemed to be dripping from them.
