Fu Shen only realized what was happening when he heard Su Yue's playful and teasing voice.
"I just happened to be passing by and was heading to the train station to go back to Bincheng," he replied gently.
As he spoke, his gaze shifted slightly downwards, landing on Su Yue's prominently protruding belly, and he asked with concern, "With such a big belly, aren't you feeling uncomfortable?"
Three months ago, Su Yue's belly was still flat. Now, when I saw her walking in the car, she looked like a waddling little penguin, moving slowly and clumsily.
If it weren't for that familiar face, he almost wouldn't have recognized him.
Su Yue looked down at her protruding belly and smiled gently. "No, it's just a little inconvenient when I sleep at night, but I'm getting used to it now."
Fu Shen's fingers unconsciously curled slightly, wanting to reach out and gently touch Su Yue's belly, but he held back.
Pedestrians come and go along this main road; if someone sees us like this, it will have a bad influence.
Especially the two people in the car opposite him; even without looking over, he could feel their burning gazes fixed on him.
Wang Renyi was slightly injured during this mission and needed to go to the hospital to change his dressing. That's how he ended up on this road. Otherwise, he probably wouldn't have been able to see Su Yue.
Fu Shen gazed at Su Yue with reluctance in his eyes, his voice tinged with longing: "Yueyue, I have to go, you..."
Su Yue spotted Huo Yunqi walking towards them and quickly lowered her voice, urgently calling to Fu Shen, "Turn your face to the other side of the road."
Fu Shen didn't ask any more questions and obediently turned his gaze to the other side, as did Su Yue.
Then she saw Wang Renyi, who was sitting in the car, roll down the window, grin, and wave enthusiastically at her, his lips clearly calling out "Sister-in-law".
Seeing this, Su Yue also raised her hand and gently waved in response.
As Huo Yunqi walked past Su Yue and Fu Shen, he paused noticeably, giving Fu Shen a suspicious look.
A sense of doubt arose in his heart. How could this person's profile be so similar to that of the person in his memory? He looked exactly like his younger brother, who was suffering in some cowshed.
The next second, he denied it in his heart. His younger brother had been abroad for many years. After returning to China, he devoted himself to a research institute. Later, he was reported by him and sent to a remote and desolate place for reform. Now, whether he is alive or dead is still unknown. How could he have the time to get married and have children?
After Huo Yunqi walked away, Fu Shen glanced at his receding figure and turned to ask Su Yue, "Who is this person?"
He keenly sensed the scrutinizing gaze directed at him as the person paused behind them.
Su Yue looked cautious and whispered, "He is Huo Yunqi."
Upon hearing this, Fu Shen's eyes flashed with surprise, before he looked at Huo Yunqi, who was gradually disappearing into the distance.
As if sensing something, Huo Yunqi stopped and looked back.
Fu Shen had already withdrawn his gaze and said in a deep voice, "He's the one who reported me..."
Su Yue nodded gently, "It's him."
She has already received confirmation from Grandma Yang.
Fu Shen was about to say something when the car opposite him suddenly honked its horn urgently, as if urging him to hurry up.
Su Yue looked in the direction of the sound and asked in confusion, "Was that car horn calling you?"
Fu Shen nodded, quickly glancing around. He wanted to gently stroke Su Yue's hair, but then he noticed an old woman standing at the entrance of the small park. He could only clench his fist tightly at his side and solemnly said:
"After I go back and report the results of this mission to the political commissar, I will come to Beicheng to pick you up immediately."
Seeing Su Yue's large belly, he was really worried about her and Wang Jingyi taking the train back alone.
Su Yue looked up at Fu Shen and said, "You don't need to pick me up. My godmother and the others want me to stay in Beicheng to give birth before going back. But you must come when I give birth."
During this time, listening to Wang Jingyi recount how Yang Guohua couldn't be by her side when she gave birth, she felt a deep sense of loss.
She knew in her heart that Yang Guohua was also acting against his will, but she couldn't help but think that if he had been waiting outside the delivery room at that time, even if he couldn't help much, she would have felt much more at ease.
So she often wondered if Fu Shen would come back when she gave birth.
Every day I prayed silently in my heart, just wishing that he would be safe outside. At first, I thought it didn't matter whether he could be there when the child was born.
