Chapter 458: New Cohabitation Era
After having a drink with Xie Jin and finalizing the matter, Cheng Xuyuan stayed in Donghai for another three days.
During these three days, his main task was to accompany Shen Yumo.
This companionship mainly means taking care of him! They ate together, went out together in front of Shen Yumo's neighbors, went to the hospital for checkups together, and stayed in the room Shen Yumo left for him at night...
The relationship between the two people seemed to become very relaxed.
They were as calm as a pair of good friends.
A pair of good friends who don't seem to have any romantic relationship between men and women.
From the hospital, Cheng Xuyuan learned that Shen Yumo's due date was more than two months away.
That is one month after the Chinese New Year.
Before the Chinese New Year, Cheng Xuyuan still had a lot of things to deal with.
So after staying with Shen Yumo for three days, Cheng Xuyuan set out on the journey back to Yanjing.
Shen Yumo did not show any reluctance to Cheng Xuyuan's departure. There was always a controlled indifference on her face.
She calmly packed clothes for Cheng Xuyuan and told him that if he had too much to do after the New Year, he didn't need to come here.
She can take care of herself.
Cheng Xuyuan did not respond immediately to Shen Yumo's words, but just nodded slightly.
After packing his bag, Cheng Xuyuan said to Shen Yumo, "Wait a minute, you should give me a ride."
"This way, your neighbors can also see that I'm out working again."
Shen Yumo pursed his lips and hesitated for a moment, but still nodded and said, "Okay, I'll take you downstairs later."
"Also, I deposited some money in your name yesterday. The passbook is in the drawer of the study. You can take it out when you need it."
Cheng Xuyuan continued: "Since we are partners in raising a child together, we cannot let the child suffer."
Shen Yumo, who originally wanted to refuse, said nothing in the end after hearing this.
The two looked at each other, and finally Shen Yumo asked: "When is your flight?"
Cheng Xuyuan said casually: "Twelve o'clock noon."
Shen Yumo looked at the time, hesitated for a moment and said, "I'm afraid it won't be easy to find food when you get to the airport."
"Let me make you a bowl of noodles so you don't get hungry on the road."
Cheng Xuyuan looked at Shen Yumo, whose eyes were calm but determined, and smiled and said, "Okay."
Shen Yumo cooked very quickly. In just five minutes, a bowl of noodles with two poached eggs was placed in front of Cheng Xuyuan.
Looking at the fragrant egg noodles, Cheng Xuyuan suddenly said, "This seems to be the first time you cook for me."
Shen Yumo didn't say anything, but she knew in her heart that Cheng Xuyuan was right.
After two people get married, they actually live their own lives.
Cheng Xuyuan also ate at home, while Shen Yumo still ate alone at her residence at the educated youth camp.
Cheng Xuyuan ate the egg noodles and said with a smile: "Yumo, the food you cooked is actually quite delicious."
Hearing this compliment, Shen Yumo suddenly asked, "How does it compare to Fang Yuqing?"
After saying this, Shen Yumo felt a little regretful.
Since the two of them had already agreed to be partners simply for the sake of raising a child, how could I say something that would ruin the mood? Isn't this...
Cheng Xuyuan didn't feel too embarrassed by Shen Yumo's words. He said casually, "Her cooking skills need to be improved a bit."
After this answer, Cheng Xuyuan hurriedly sped up his eating.
Although he felt that he and Shen Yumo were both people who could abide by their promises, the atmosphere of their conversation was still a little too ambiguous...
Shen Yumo seemed to realize that comparing himself with Fang Yuqing would cause something that shouldn't exist in the relationship between the two of them, so he stopped talking.
Cheng Xuyuan finished a bowl of noodles in five minutes.
After eating, Cheng Xuyuan took his luggage and went downstairs with Shen Yumo.
Cheng Xuyuan has appeared in this family compound several times.
So many people started to greet the two people after they came downstairs.
"Yumo, Engineer Cheng, are you going out?" A middle-aged man saw Cheng Xuyuan and Shen Yumo and said with a smile.
The middle-aged man wore a pair of black-framed glasses and looked a little serious.
However, the look he gave Cheng Xuyuan was full of admiration.
Cheng Xuyuan smiled and said, "Hello, Teacher Guo, my vacation is over."
Mr. Guo is a high school physics teacher. The reason he was able to get this house is because his wife works at Shanghai Literature and Art.
He admired Cheng Xuyuan mainly because Cheng Xuyuan helped him solve several difficult physics problems.
When Cheng Xuyuan introduced himself, he only said that he was an engineer.
Teacher Guo had no doubts about Cheng Xuyuan's self-proclaimed identity.
Because he felt that only engineers could more easily solve such mechanical problems.
Teacher Guo said with regret: "I wanted to ask you some questions, but I didn't expect you to leave so soon."
"Next time you come back, I'll treat you to a meal."
Cheng Xuyuan did not refuse: "Then I will bring two bottles of good wine next time I come back."
Teacher Guo laughed and said, "Then let's make it a deal."
On the way, Cheng Xuyuan greeted three or four neighbors, and he really looked like someone going to work.
Looking at Cheng Xuyuan who was performing with ease, Shen Yumo even had a feeling that these were not just two people acting but a real feeling.
This guy is worthy of being a student of the drama master. He writes scripts well and doesn’t seem to be afraid to act in the script himself!
This thought surged in Shen Yumo's heart, making her feel like laughing.
However, the road at the entrance of the community is still too short.
Before Shen Yumo could even finish experiencing the feeling of seeing someone off, Cheng Xuyuan had already boarded the bus to the airport.
The car whizzed away, leaving Shen Yumo standing in the parking space.
A hint of reluctance appeared in her originally calm expression.
How wonderful it would be if all this were true.
Even if he was really an engineer, even if he really had an important mission, and he only had half a month's home leave a year, even if...
Just when all kinds of thoughts were flashing through Shen Yumo's mind, he saw Wang Yian riding a bicycle towards him quickly.
"Yumo, why are you here?" Wang Yian stopped his bicycle and said with a hint of blame: "There are too many cars here. If they bump into each other, it will be troublesome."
Seeing Wang Yian, his good friend, Shen Yumo said casually, "I'll give it to someone."
"Send someone off? Who are you sending off?" Wang Yian was stunned for a moment, then seemed to react and said, "I heard that my brother-in-law was here, so I ran over to see him. He's not going to leave, is he?"
When Shen Yumo heard the name "brother-in-law", he was stunned for a moment, but then he realized that it was referring to Cheng Xuyuan.
Although Shen Yumo was a little conflicted about this title, she still said, "He finally applied for three days of home visit leave. Today the leave is over and he has to go back."
"Alas, I found out too late."
"I came here in a hurry and was going to treat him to a meal!"
Wang Yian said with a hint of regret: "Yumo, you are so mean. You didn't even tell me that my brother-in-law was coming."
Shen Yumo smiled and said, "He just went home to visit his family. It's not worth mobilizing so many troops."
At this point, Shen Yumo turned to Wang Yian and asked, "How do you know he's back?"
"I heard about it from the editorial department." Wang Yian said, "I went to the editorial department to deliver a manuscript today and heard what Sister Ma and the others said."
"By the way, they also said my brother-in-law is an engineer."
"I just don't understand, why would you, a person who loves literature, choose an engineer?"
Shen Yumo smiled and said, "Engineer is his profession, it's not like he doesn't like literature."
Having said that, she invited Wang Yian, "Let's go home and have some rest."
Wang Yian looked at Shen Yumo's appearance and did not refuse.
As she pushed the cart, she said to Shen Yumo, "Let's go and see what delicious food your brother-in-law bought for you."
Shen Yumo smiled, said nothing, and just walked slowly towards home.
As he flew back to Yanjing, Cheng Xuyuan was still thinking about what had happened in the past few days.
Partner who raised the child together, hey, my will at that time seemed a little unsteady! When Cheng Xuyuan walked out of the airport, he saw Fang Yuqing standing at the airport gate.
Although she was wearing a red scarf, her little face was still a little red from the cold.
Although the East China Sea is also cold, it is still far from being as cold as Yanjing.
When Cheng Xuyuan saw Fang Yuqing, he felt a little guilty.
Although he and Shen Yumo were only raising a child together, he already had a child before they were even married. How could he explain this...
"Didn't I tell you on the phone not to come over when it was so cold? Why were you so disobedient?" Cheng Xuyuan said to Fang Yuqing with a hint of blame.
Facing Cheng Xuyuan's reproach, Fang Yuqing's eyes seemed to be filled with endless spring water.
She quickly came to Cheng Xuyuan and said softly, "I miss you."
Although these three words were spoken lightly, they seemed to imply endless affection, making Cheng Xuyuan feel intoxicated.
Carrying the luggage bag in one hand, Cheng Xuyuan reached out and held Fang Yuqing's hand and said, "Let's go, let's go home first."
When Fang Yuqing heard that she was going home, her already rosy face suddenly became even redder.
"Xuyuan, Brother Wenhui heard that you were back and insisted on following me to pick you up. He's waiting outside now!"
Hearing Fang Yuqing's words, Cheng Xuyuan secretly curled his lips.
Although the buses in Yanjing are very crowded, he is still willing to squeeze on the bus back with Fang Yuqing at this time, rather than having Qin Wenhui as a light bulb.
But they are already here, we can’t just ask them to go back on their own.
"Brother Wenhui doesn't have to go to work?" Cheng Xuyuan asked casually.
Fang Yuqing said, "He said going to work is not as important as picking you up."
Cheng Xuyuan said helplessly: "Then let's go. It's better to take a car than to squeeze on the bus."
While the two were talking, Fang Yuqing suddenly asked, "Xuyuan, how was your conversation with Director Xie in Donghai this time?"
Hearing this question, Cheng Xuyuan's expression showed a hint of seriousness.
For him, now is the critical moment.
But on the surface, he waved his hand casually and said, "Director Xie is still a bit stubborn and insists on adapting it. I have no choice but to give him the most suitable "The Truman Show" to adapt."
"But in the future, I may have to go there more often to help him."
Fang Yuqing heard this and said with some reluctance: "How about I go with you?"
