Xu Damao didn't understand at first, but after thinking about it for a while, his eyes widened like a bull's eyes.
"What the heck? I mean, Old Yan... no, Second Uncle, you're saying Sha Zhu's girlfriend is also named Lou Xiao'e? How could such a coincidence be possible!"
Wang Dabao pretended to ponder: "Could it just be a coincidence of names? Like Da Mao said, how could such a coincidence happen?"
"By the way, Da Mao, Lao Yan just said that Sha Zhu once mentioned that Lou Xiao'e's family is quite well-off. I wonder what your blind date's family is like."
Upon hearing this, Xu Damao's eyes widened even more, and his breathing became rapid. "This... back then they said her family was well-off, and it seems that Lou Xiao'e's father was a cadre or something."
Yan Bugui suddenly took a deep breath and slapped Xu Damao's thigh, "Isn't this terrible? In my opinion, this is the same person!"
Upon hearing this, Xu Damao's face turned pale and then red. "So, Lou Xiao'e, the girl I went on a blind date with, is now Sha Zhu's girlfriend? Impossible, absolutely impossible. She doesn't even like me, how could she possibly like Sha Zhu? I don't believe that."
"Hey, Da Mao, are you saying that I, your second uncle, am making this up? That silly Zhu was talking about it so enthusiastically, how could it be false?" Yan Bugui immediately objected. You can say he's stingy, but you can't say that a teacher is lying. That would be touching his sore spot.
Wang Dabao laughed and said, "Hey you two, let's calm down. Maybe it's not the same person at all. We can just ask Sha Zhu when we see him. Besides, if it's Sha Zhu's girlfriend, she'll come to our courtyard sooner or later, and then we'll know."
Yan Bugui glanced at Xu Damao and said, "I think we should ask Sha Zhu first. Maybe this girl named Lou Xiao'e likes someone like Sha Zhu."
"To each their own, perhaps."
Wang Dabao nodded in agreement, "Logically speaking, Da Mao looks much better than Sha Zhu, so I'm also thinking it's a bit strange."
Upon hearing what Wang Dabao said, Xu Damao's lips curled up slightly.
Yan Bugui was annoyed: "Dabao, what you're saying isn't right. You just said radishes and green vegetables, why is it not okay now? Maybe people just like someone like Shazhu."
Xu Damao drooped his eyelids: "I've heard of people who like to eat radishes, and I've heard of people who like to eat green vegetables, but I've never heard of anyone who likes to eat shit. Sha Zhu is that stinky dog shit."
Wang Dabao really wanted to give Xu Damao a thumbs up; this was absolutely amazing.
"Alright, I won't talk to you anymore. We'll see when the time comes."
With that, Yan Bugui stood up. "Dabao, I'll head back now. I have a class this morning, so I need to go back to school soon."
"Alright, I'm off then. I'm going home to get some sleep; I didn't sleep well last night." Wang Dabao said, and was about to get up when Xu Damao grabbed him.
"Da Bao, wait a minute, I have something to ask you."
Yan Bugui turned his head and glanced at Xu Damao, then pursed his lips and walked away.
Once outside, Yan Bugui spat at the base of Xu Damao's wall, saying, "You're asking for advice? Do you even know what 'asking for advice' means, you're just a primary school graduate?"
Inside the room, Xu Damao's "May I ask for your guidance?" left Wang Dabao bewildered. Good heavens, you can ask questions all you want, but why make such a big deal out of it? What am I going to do if I can't answer?
"Da Mao, if you have something to ask, just ask. Why are you being so formal?"
"That's true, that's true."
As he spoke, Xu Damao offered him another cigarette, but Wang Dabao pushed it back. "It's like this, Brother Dabao, you don't know, a lot of things happened in our institute while you were away on business. First, Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui helped Qin Huairu seize power, and then something happened at my home."
Wang Dabao was a little confused. What did it mean that Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui were helping Qin Huairu seize power? There was something more to it than met the eye, but now was not the time to inquire about such things.
“My wife, Qin Jingru, was hit by someone on the road, and as a result, the baby was lost. The cyclist also fled the scene.”
At this point, Xu Damao's sadness spread, "Brother Dabao, you know how unlucky I am. Before, because of the rumors in the hospital that I would have no descendants, to be honest, I actually went to the hospital to see a doctor, and the situation was indeed not very optimistic."
"But ever since my wife got pregnant, I suddenly felt much better. It felt like the road ahead of me had become much wider. Who would have thought it would turn out like this!"
Wang Dabao sighed. Although he suspected that Qin Jingru and Qin Huairu had set a trap for Xu Damao, he had no evidence. Even if he had evidence, he couldn't say anything about it.
Immediately, Wang Dabao patted Xu Damao on the shoulder and comforted him, "Damao, think about it, relationships between people are all about fate, including between parents and children. Sometimes, if the fate isn't right, then they definitely won't be able to meet."
"Another theory is that the child went to heaven to retrieve gifts for his parents, and will come back with those gifts next time!"
“You and Jingru are both young. Look ahead. In a year, once Jingru has recovered, the child will come back with gifts.”
Xu Damao's eyes were red, and snot was almost dripping from his nose: "My good brother Dabao, after hearing what you said, I feel much better. You have no idea what I've been going through these past few days; every day has been torture!"
Wang Dabao sighed, guessing that Qin Jingru couldn't stand seeing Xu Damao like this and felt guilty, which was why she ran back to her parents' home.
"Cheer up, you're in great health, having a child shouldn't be a problem."
There's something Wang Dabao didn't say: "Your health isn't the problem, but what can you do about your sperm not being good?"
After staying with Xu Damao for a while, Wang Dabao got up and left.
As soon as I entered the house, wow, it was so cool and gloomy. It had been almost a month since I left, and the house was so cold inside and out.
He quickly lit the stove, then brewed some hot tea, searched for something to eat in his spatial storage, and then snuggled into bed.
Wang Dabao didn't sleep well last night, and slept straight until after five o'clock. He got up to poke the stove, and before he had even finished his tea, Xiao Su arrived with food.
During the meal, Wang Dabao recounted what had happened in the courtyard, and Xiao Su listened calmly.
Xiao Su's expression changed only when Wang Dabao mentioned that Qin Jingru had lost her child in the accident.
"How long has Qin Jingru been pregnant? Is it really that easy to miscarry?"
Wang Dabao shook his head, "How would we know? But it should only be a little over a month, two months at most, so you'd better not run around."
Xiao Su nodded obediently: "I'll ask my mom what I need to be careful about when I get back. I also heard Sister Liu from the office say today that I shouldn't stand on tiptoe after three months."
