Chapter 67
Hearing the soft and sticky voice, Xia Zhongqin's heart melted. She couldn't help but touch Lele's head gently: "Be good, you're welcome."
The family broke up due to the adults' fault, but the children were always the ones who got hurt. Xia Zhongqin did not stay any longer.
Lian Yijian had just taken a few steps forward holding her hand when he heard Zhang Xiaoshan's voice coming from behind him.
"Yueyue, wait for me outside, I'll come over in a while."
After walking out of the Wallace gate, Xia Zhongqin heard a slightly crying voice of "Sister" from behind her.
Xia Zhongqin turned around and saw that Ji Yue's left cheek was red and swollen again, just like the last time in the Suzhou Railway Project Team.
Last time at the Suzhou Metro project, Xia Zhongqin felt sorry for Ji Yue, but this time, when she saw the innocent child and heard Lu Xiaojuan's accusation, there was no more pity in her eyes.
After all, Yueyue was still her best friend, and Xia Zhongqin couldn't be too cruel. She let go of Lian Yijian's hand, took two steps back, and came to Ji Yue.
"Yueyue, do you want me to take you to the hospital first?"
Ji Yue shook her head. "Sister, I called you in Wallace Restaurant just now, but you ignored me. Are you angry with me?"
"How could that be? Don't think too much. At that time, Zhang Xiaoshan's ex-wife was walking towards us with her child. Before I could respond to you, she had already walked up to us." Xia Zhongqin explained.
After hearing Xia Zhongqin's words, Ji Yue's originally sad expression mostly disappeared. She held Xia Zhongqin's hand and said, "I'm glad that you're not angry with me."
"My wedding with Brother Shan is scheduled for National Day. Sister and Mr. Lian will come over together then."
Xia Zhongqin's eyes were full of surprise. The three words "so fast" flashed in her mind and were blurted out.
"I'm pregnant." Ji Yue said in a low voice with a shy look on her face.
These four words were like a thunderclap out of nowhere, almost knocking Xia Zhongqin to the ground. The speed was too fast.
Half a minute later, Xia Zhongqin recovered and said, "Okay, I will definitely go when the time comes. Yueyue, take care of yourself."
The two chatted about other things for a while. When Xia Zhongqin left, Zhang Xiaoshan had not yet come out of Wallace.
In addition to the paddling pool, bathing pool and swimming pool, Sioux City Paradise also has thrilling projects such as rafting, pendulum and pirate ship.
Xia Zhongqin and Lian Yijian chose rafting.
When the two were about to reach the rafting area, Xia Zhongqin felt a warm current coming from under her belly. The next second, she realized that her period had come.
Because her menstrual cycle is not fixed every month, it either comes at the beginning, middle, or end of the month. What's more exaggerated is that sometimes it only comes once every month, so she always keeps a small pack of sanitary napkins in the compartment of her computer backpack.
The current situation is so embarrassing. The key point is that the skirt she is wearing today is a light-colored one, and the back of the skirt is probably already red.
Xia Zhongqin suddenly stopped, and Lian Yijian, who was holding her hand, also stopped.
"What's wrong, Zhong Qin? Are you too tired?"
Xia Zhongqin didn't reply to him quickly as usual. A hint of hesitation flashed across her face, and there was obvious embarrassment in her eyes. After a while, she lowered her head and whispered, "Brother Yi Jian, please help me check if there is anything dirty behind my skirt."
Lian Yijian quickly took a step back and looked carefully at the back of her skirt.
When he saw a trace of red blood on the back of her skirt near her buttocks, he immediately understood.
Lian Yijian quickly took off the sun protection jacket he was wearing and tied it around Xia Zhongqin's waist.
After doing all this, Lian Yijian gently took Xia Zhongqin's hand again, and then whispered, "Zhongqin, you're on your period, so it's not suitable for you to play exciting activities. Can we come back for rafting next time?"
"Brother Yi Jian, am I really a spoiler?"
Lian Yijian couldn't help but tighten his grip on her hand. He looked at her with a smile in his eyes, "What are you talking about? My Zhong Qin's health is the most important thing."
The two of them first went to the storage cabinet and took out the items inside. Lian Yijian carried the items with his other hand.
On the way out of the park, Xia Zhongqin told Lian Yijian casually that Ji Yue and Zhang Xiaoshan were planning to hold their wedding on National Day this year and that Ji Yue was pregnant.
Xia Zhongqin is not someone who likes to talk about other people's gossip behind their backs. It's just because Ji Yue is her best friend and Lian Yijian is now her boyfriend, so she thinks it's okay to talk about these things with her boyfriend.
After Xia Zhongqin finished speaking, Lian Yijian replied, "Xiaoshan is really fast."
Xia Zhongqin had just said a lot, and she had originally thought that Yi Jian would definitely respond with a lot. But after hearing him say a sentence of less than ten words, she pouted and asked, "Brother Yi Jian, don't you have anything else to say?"
Lian Yijian's smile deepened, clearly amused by Xia Zhongqin's words and the cute expression on her face. He smiled and said, "Whatever our Zhongqin wants me to say, we're outsiders to Xiaoshan and Jiyue's affairs, so it's hard for us to say much. But Zhongqin and I are going to suffer a great loss. When Xiaoshan and Jiyue get married and have children, we'll both have to give double gifts. Then when it's our turn, they'll only have one return gift."
"Brother Yi Jian is right, but the children have to pay for the adults' mistakes. They are so pitiful. I just saw Xiaoshan's child at Wallace Restaurant and was inspired by this. Love and marriage are indeed two different things."
As they were talking, the two had already arrived at the exit of Sucheng Water Park.
The parking lot is about 500 meters away from the water park.
Lian Yijian found a shady place outside the water park - a big tree. He asked Xia Zhongqin to wait for him under the tree while he went to the parking lot to drive the car over.
As soon as Lian Yijian left, Xia Zhongqin received a new message on WeChat from Zhu Hongmiaofa.
Xia Zhongqin opened WeChat and saw that Zhu Hongmiao had sent her a photo of Pudong Airport in Shanghai. She had a flight to Lanzhou, Gansu at 5 pm this afternoon.
Xia Zhongqin replied, "Have a nice trip, Aunt Hong Miao."
When Lian Yijian drove the car under the big tree, Xia Zhongqin opened the passenger door without waiting for him to get out of the car.
The moment the car door opened, she saw a neatly folded clean white towel placed on the parking space. She was originally worried that she would dirty the car mat because of her period.
The moment Xia Zhongqin saw the towel on the seat, her heart felt warm. Someone was so thoughtful.
Seeing Xia Zhongqin staring at the passenger seat with no intention of getting in, Lian Yijian said, "Zhongqin, don't worry about dirtying my car. Come up and sit down quickly. Let's go back."
On the way back to Modern Garden, Lian Yijian's phone never stopped ringing. In addition to calls about the project, there were also calls about his family. Xia Zhongqin didn't have any chance to talk to Lian Yijian at all.
It was already three o'clock in the afternoon when we arrived at the gate of Modern Garden Community.
Lian Yijian sent Xia Zhongqin directly to the downstairs of Room 502, Unit 2, Building 7, where her house was located.
When getting out of the car, Xia Zhongqin picked up the white towel on the passenger seat and prepared to return it to Lian Yijian after washing it.
When Xia Zhongqin was about to close the car door, Lian Yijian, who had been silently watching her get out of the car, suddenly said, "Aren't you going to invite me to your house?"
If Xia Zhongqin hadn't seen Lian Yijian constantly receiving calls along the way and probably had to go to the project site to deal with an emergency, she would definitely have asked him to come to her house for a visit.
"Brother Yi Jian, I saw you were constantly on the phone along the way. I thought you had to go to the project soon, so I didn't call you just now." Xia Zhongqin said truthfully.
"Let's go. The production server for He Yicheng and Pan Lulu's Dingna project just crashed. I just told them the solution over the phone. If it doesn't work, I'll go to the site again."
Xia Zhongqin got out of the car without saying anything else.
Modern Garden is a low-rise building with a total of eighty buildings, each equipped with an elevator.
After the door opened, two people walked in one after another.
At the entrance, Xia Zhongqin changed her shoes first. She took out a pair of brown slippers from the shoe cabinet that she bought for Wang Haiyun but had never worn and placed them next to Lian Yijian's feet.
"Brother Yi Jian, we don't have any men in our family, so we didn't prepare any men's slippers. I bought this pair for Mother Wang, but she never wore them. Don't be disgusted by them. Wear them for now. I'll go to Vipshop tonight and buy you a pair. What size do you wear?"
When Xia Zhongqin finished speaking, Lian Yijian had already started bending down to change his shoes. By the time she finished speaking, his slippers had been changed.
"It's okay, size 42." Lian Yijian replied.
Xia Zhongqin took Lian Yijian to the sofa in the living room and asked him to sit first. After turning on the air conditioner in the living room, Xia Zhongqin went to the kitchen.
Lian Yijian placed the bag of snacks he was holding, which he had barely touched, on the coffee table in front of the sofa, and then sat down on the sofa.
Lian Yijian sat on the sofa, looking at the clean and shiny floor, the tidy house, and the vase of blooming tulips on the dining table. A strong sense of warmth instantly surrounded his heart.
Xia Zhongqin took out the chilled watermelon that she had bought yesterday from the kitchen refrigerator, cut it into pieces and put it on a plate.
Xia Zhongqin took five toothpicks and stuck them on the cut watermelon. Then she brought the plate to Lian Yijian and placed the watermelon on the coffee table.
"Brother Yijian, eat watermelon." As she said that, she picked up a piece of watermelon and put it into Lian Yijian's mouth.
Lian Yijian also picked up a piece and put it into Xia Zhongqin's mouth.
The two of them started eating back and forth like they were eating French fries.
Xia Zhongqin was halfway through eating the watermelon and couldn't eat any more. It was almost dinner time. She hadn't cooked in the past few days since moving in, so she asked, "Brother Yi Jian, you can have dinner at my house tonight. It's like a pot-warming meal. What do you want to eat? I'll order it directly on Dingdong."
"I didn't pick it, Zhong Qin..." Before Lian Yijian could finish his words, a video came in on his WeChat. It was Xia Kaiqun calling.
