Chapter 86 Chapter 86 How did he find his way here?! ...The two clear red lines on the pregnancy test stick exploded like a silent thunder in the small hotel bathroom.
Xitong stared at it for a full minute, his eyes empty, as if his soul had been pulled out of his body.
Then, she silently and stiffly threw the pregnancy test stick into the trash can, opened the door and walked out.
Outside the door, Su Luyao immediately came up to her and looked at her nervously. She didn't need to ask, she already knew the answer from Xitong's distraught and pale expression.
Neither of them spoke.
The heavy curtains were drawn, blocking out the noisy world outside and the glaring sunlight.
There was only a dim bedside lamp on in the room, and the light ambiguously outlined two silent figures.
Xitong sat on the sofa by the window with her legs curled up, her arms tightly hugging her knees, her chin resting on them, her eyes unfocused as she stared at the intricate patterns on the carpet.
Su Luyao sat on the edge of the bed opposite, twisting the corners of her clothes unconsciously with her hands, and from time to time she looked worriedly at Xi Tong, who seemed to have turned into a sculpture.
Time flows by minute by second in suffocating silence.
There was an invisible pressure in the air.
Only the faint hum of the air conditioner reminds us that time has not stopped.
After a long time, so long that Su Luyao felt her heart was about to be crushed by the silence, she finally mustered up the courage and asked cautiously, almost breathlessly:
"Xiao Xi...you...what do you think?"
Her voice sounded particularly clear and fragile in the silent room.
Xitong still maintained that self-protective posture, motionless.
Her long eyelashes drooped, casting a small shadow under her eyes.
When she heard Su Luyao's question, her lips moved slightly, as if she wanted to say something, but in the end, she didn't utter a single syllable.
She just hugged her knees tighter and buried her face deeper in them, as if this could avoid this sudden reality that caught her off guard.
What do you think?
She doesn't know either.
My mind was in a mess, and all my future plans seemed to be completely disrupted by these two small red bars.
Career, studies, the blueprint for W City, and her increasingly stable relationship with Yu Sixie...will they leave the father behind and keep the son this time? Or will they get married? Or will they live their whole lives as parents rather than husband and wife?
Everything has become full of uncertainty because of this unexpected little life.
It also brings issues that could have been delayed further to the forefront.
What is between them?
The current Xitong is not the Xitong in her early twenties. At that time, all she cared about was feelings, but now feelings are no longer everything in life.
Yu Sixie also proved with facts that he would be a good father, and there were no family conflicts between them.
Everything indicates that they should get married.
But why is she still...
Su Luyao looked at Xi Tong, who refused to communicate and completely closed herself off from others. She felt anxious and painful in her heart, but she didn't dare to ask any more questions.
I could only sit with her in this room filled with uneasy silence, waiting for her to sort out her chaotic thoughts.
…
Deathly silence still spread in the room. Xitong was still curled up on the sofa, like a seriously injured little beast, trying to use silence to build a high wall to resist the outside world.
Su Luyao was racking her brains to find something to say to break the suffocating atmosphere, when suddenly -
“Ding Dong—Ding Dong—”
The crisp doorbell rang without warning, like thunder out of the blue, instantly exploding in the silent room!
Both of them were startled, raised their heads suddenly, and looked at each other in horror.
Who could it be at this time?!
Hotel maid? There's no way they could clean it so quickly.
Su Luyao's heart instantly rose to her throat. She forced herself to remain calm, made a "hush" gesture to Xi Tong, and lowered her voice: "I'll go and take a look. Don't make a sound."
She took a deep breath, walked to the door, stood on tiptoe, and nervously looked out through the peephole -
The next second, she was struck by lightning, her whole body froze, and her blood seemed to flow backwards instantly!
The person standing outside the door was actually Yu Sixie? ! !
How did he find his way here?!
Su Luyao's mind went blank, and the huge shock made her almost unable to think.
She subconsciously turned around and glanced at Xi Tong, who was also pale and with panic in her eyes on the sofa.
No! He must not be allowed in! He must not be allowed to know!
Su Luyao turned around suddenly and pressed her back against the door, as if this could block the person outside.
She tried to make her voice sound normal, even with a hint of displeasure at being interrupted, and shouted to the door, "Who is it?"
"It's me, Yu Sixie."
Yu Sixie's low but clear voice came from outside the door, without any emotion, "Is Xitong with you? Open the door."
Su Luyao's heart was beating like a drum. She pressed herself against the door and lied calmly, "Ah? How did you find this place? Xiaoxi? Xiaoxi isn't here. I'm alone. I... I have an appointment with a friend, so it's not convenient..."
Before she could finish her words, she heard a soft "beep" sound coming from outside the door. It was the sound of the room card swiping open the electronic door lock!
Su Luyao's pupils suddenly contracted! How could he have a room card?!
Before she could react, the door was pushed open by an irresistible force, and Su Luyao staggered and almost fell.
Yu Sixie's tall figure was already standing at the door. His eyes were like the most accurate radar, sweeping across the entire room in an instant, and immediately caught the figure curled up on the sofa, trying to hide himself - Xi Tong.
His brows were tightly furrowed, and he looked with complicated eyes at Su Luyao, who was panicking and trying to stop him, and then at Xi Tong, who was obviously in a bad state. The doubts and worries in his heart reached a peak.
He ignored Su Luyao's pale explanation and walked straight in.
At the same moment when Yu Sixie pushed open the door and Su Luyao screamed in surprise, Xi Tong, who had been stiffly sitting on the sofa, suddenly burst out at an astonishing speed like a cat whose tail was stepped on!
She suddenly jumped up from the sofa, grabbed her handbag beside her, and like a flash of lightning, before Yu Sixie's eyes were completely locked on her, she rushed into the bathroom attached to the room, slammed the door shut with a bang, and even heard the "click" sound of the lock from inside!
Yu Sixie paused, staring sharply at the tightly closed bathroom door.
"Xiao Xi!" Su Luyao shouted anxiously and wanted to rush over.
In the bathroom, Xitong leaned against the cold tile wall, her heart beating so wildly that it almost burst through her chest.
She frantically opened her handbag and tremblingly pulled out the pregnancy test sticks from the innermost compartment, which were like hot potatoes! She couldn't let him see them! Absolutely not!
She had only one thought in her mind: destroy the evidence!
She rushed to the toilet and without thinking, threw all the pregnancy test sticks that indicated she was pregnant into the toilet. Then, with trembling fingers, she pressed the flush button hard!
“Crash—”
The water rushed down, sweeping up the small plastic sticks.
However, just as one of them was about to be swallowed by the whirlpool——
"Crack!" There was a slight crisp sound.
The bathroom door lock was actually pried open from the outside using some clever force!
The door was pushed open violently!
Yu Sixie's tall figure appeared at the door. His eyes accurately captured the pregnancy test stick in the toilet that had not yet been completely swept away by the water and had two red lines clearly printed on it, as well as Xi Tong's face that instantly lost all color and was filled with panic and helplessness.
Time seemed to freeze at this moment.
Xitong froze in place, maintaining the posture of pressing the flush valve, like a clumsy thief caught on the spot.
All the cover-ups and denials seem so pale and ridiculous at this moment.
The evidence is conclusive and cannot be denied.
…
Yu Sixie's gaze shifted from the two glaring red lines in the toilet bowl to Xitong's pale, bewildered face. He didn't question her immediately, nor did he say anything about the child. He just frowned, his tone unquestionable and resolute: "Put on your coat, we're going to the hospital now."
"I'm not going!"
Xitong took a step back as if her tail had been stepped on, her back against the cold tile wall, shaking her head in resistance, "I'm fine! No need to go to the hospital!"
Su Luyao also tried to smooth things over: "Xiao Xi is..."
"And you," Yu Sixie interrupted Su Luyao, his eyes sweeping over with a hint of oppression that brooked no room for argument, "Together."
His attitude was extremely tough, and he didn't give the two any chance to refute.
Almost half-forcefully, he brought Xitong out of the bathroom, picked up the coat she had thrown on the sofa and put it on her, then motioned for Su Luyao to follow.
Xitong struggled all the way, protesting softly, and even tried to shake off his hand, but Yu Sixie's arm was as firm as an iron clamp. He took her directly to the underground garage and stuffed her into the car.
Su Luyao looked at the scene and didn't dare to say anything. She could only sit in the back seat anxiously.
The atmosphere in the car was depressing.
Xitong turned her head to look out the window, pursed her lips, and expressed her dissatisfaction and grievance with silence.
Is he so impatient to confirm the child?
hehe.
He is no different from before.
It wasn't until the car was steadily driving towards the hospital that Yu Sixie turned around, looked at Xi Tong's tense face, and spoke in a deep voice. His tone was no longer as tough as before, but was filled with deep concern:
"Do you think I rushed you to the hospital just to confirm this child?"
Xitong's body stiffened slightly, but she still didn't turn around.
Yu Sixie continued, his voice low but clear: "I've noticed that you haven't been able to eat lately. You get nauseous at the slightest smell. You're clearly very tired but you're forcing yourself to keep going... Xitong, I'm worried about your health."
He paused, his tone carrying a subtle hint of heartache and helplessness. "We can take our time to consider and discuss the child's matter. But your health cannot be delayed. I must make sure you're okay, and that these reactions haven't put any additional strain on your body. Do you understand?"
These words, like a warm current, unexpectedly hit Xitong's frozen and resistant heart.
She had always thought that he cared about the child, the "bloodline" of the Yu family, but she had never expected that what he cared about first was her as a person and her health.
In his eyes, the discomforts caused by pregnancy that she had deliberately ignored became alarms about her body that needed to be addressed immediately.
Xitong's shoulders, which had been tense, relaxed slightly.
She slowly turned her head and looked at the man in the driver's seat, who was still concentrating on driving with a frown on his face.
The light and shadow outside the window quickly passed over his well-defined profile, and his eyes, which were always deep and calm, were now filled with undisguised, pure worry for her.
At this moment, the grievances and resistance in my heart melted away like ice and snow.
A sour yet warm feeling surged into her eyes. She quickly lowered her head to hide the instantly red circles under her eyes, and her fingers that had been tightly grasping the corner of her clothes also quietly loosened.
She didn't struggle or refute anymore, but just leaned back in her seat quietly and acquiesced to his arrangement.
Su Luyao, who was sitting in the back seat, watched this scene and breathed a sigh of relief. Her impression of Yu Sixie couldn't help but rise significantly.
At least, he really put Xiaoxi first.
The car finally stopped in front of the private hospital.
This time, Xitong did not resist anymore and let Yu Sixie hold her hand and walk into the hospital gate.
Although the road ahead is still full of unknowns and choices, at least at this moment, she feels the warmth of being cherished.
