"Do you hate it?"
Qin Yu, seeing Xia Lan's actions, assumed that she disliked the smell of smoke on him.
I just smoked, so I'm sure I smell of smoke on me.
"It would smell really bad on other people, but why does it smell so good on you?"
Xia Lan found it incredible, as she had always hated the smell of smoke.
But just as she got close to Qin Yu, she seemed to smell something, something particularly fragrant. She leaned closer to Qin Yu and took a sniff, only to discover that it was the smell of cigarettes that she hated.
She clearly hates the smell of cigarettes the most, but she finds the smell of cigarettes on Qin Yu quite pleasant.
Oh no, is something wrong with her?
Qin Yu chuckled and gently pulled Xia Lan into his arms.
Xia Lan couldn't help but press herself against Qin Yu's body and sniff him incessantly, almost unable to resist.
"No, this flavor is too strong, I feel like I'm under a spell."
Despite saying that, Xia Lan clung to Qin Yu and refused to let go.
Qin Yu hugged Xia Lan and couldn't help but grin.
How can she be so adorable...
I want to kiss him.
"If you like, you can smoke it if you want to smell it."
Qin Yu said indulgently.
"Although I quite like it, smoking is bad for your health, so you should stop smoking."
Xia Lan shook her head.
"Besides, if I get pregnant, smoking is bad for both me and the baby."
Qin Yu was taken aback, then immediately replied.
"Then I won't smoke."
But the corners of her mouth couldn't help but turn up in a smile as she spoke of her and his baby...
Does that mean... she's willing to have a child with him?
Why are you looking at me like that?
Xia Lan felt embarrassed by Qin Yu's gaze, her cheeks burning, and she angrily pushed his face away.
"You're willing to have my child."
Qin Yu grinned.
"I promised you that, and I never go back on my word."
Xia Lan pinched Qin Yu's cheek and snorted softly.
"Maybe it's already in my belly?"
"What?"
Upon hearing Xia Lan's words, Qin Yu was instantly stunned.
"It's nothing, I was just saying!"
Xia Lan shook her head. She was the one who arrived two days late. She probably wasn't pregnant, right?
"Why don't you go get checked out? Is anything bothering you?"
Qin Yu grabbed Xia Lan's hand and said nervously.
"No? Look at me, I'm perfectly fine, I can eat and sleep well, what could possibly be wrong with me?"
Xia Lan shook her head.
"Don't be so nervous. It's probably because I have a cold constitution that I'm late."
After all, it was quite late last month, and the pain... Xia Lan still can't forget it.
Qin Yu frowned immediately upon recalling what Dr. Sun had said during Xia Lan's last period.
"Once your period starts, you should take leave from school and stay home to rest. Don't go to school."
Qin Yu still vividly remembered Xia Lan's pained expression last time.
"I'll listen to you."
Xia Lan thought about it and decided that she could just borrow a classmate's notes to catch up. She really didn't want to drag her crippled body to school and suffer excruciating pain.
If I accidentally reveal something, people will laugh at me...
I might as well stay home and lie down, and catch up on the lessons later.
After their post-dinner stroll, Xia Lan and Qin Yu returned to the pavilion, where Old Chen and Old Yang were now playing chess.
Du Wenqing was standing nearby, and Old Wang was giving his opinions when Old Yang chased him away.
"Go away, go away, don't cause trouble here."
"Hey, Lao Yang, listen to me, bet here, bet here and you'll win."
Old Wang refused to give up; he felt he should go down there.
Seeing that Lao Yang wouldn't listen to him, Lao Wang simply moved the chess piece to the position he wanted.
"If I listen to you, then I'm truly finished. His next move will put me in checkmate."
Old Yang was so angry that he slapped Old Wang's hand away and put his chess piece back in its original position.
"A true gentleman observes chess without speaking; you should shut your mouth."
"...You're doomed to lose."
Old Wang groaned in grievance after being hit.
"Master, are you done? It's time to go back and take a nap."
Xia Lan called out with a smile.
Seeing Xia Lan approach, the five of them looked up at her.
Xia Lan smiled and nodded at the four people, then said to Du Wenqing.
"Let's go, Master, it's time to go back."
"Xia called me, so we'll head back now. You guys keep playing!"
Du Wenqing smiled at the four of them, then turned and followed Xia Lan and Qin Yu.
Wang Jianjun watched Xia Lan's departing figure, his eyes gleaming.
On the way back, Du Wenqing patted Xia Lan and Qin Yu on the shoulder.
"Thank you all for accompanying me for so long..."
"It's no trouble at all, Mr. Du, you're too kind."
Xia Lan smiled.
Just as the three were about to head back, a car drove up and stopped right in front of them.
"Big Brother!!" Yang Ziye poked his head out of the car and called out enthusiastically to Qin Yu.
"Big brother?"
Xia Lan and Qin Yu didn't know Yang Ziye, but Du Wenqing knew him very well...
Yang Ziye can be considered a third-generation member of the elite in Beijing. With the status of his father and his father in Beijing, he is also a role model among young people in Beijing.
When Du Wenqing heard Yang Ziye call Qin Yu "brother," he thought he had misheard.
What just happened?
What did he miss?
"Yang Ziye." Qin Yu nodded to Yang Ziye.
"Sister-in-law, brother, didn't we just say we'd take you to Beijing for a stroll? I've brought my car, shall we go now?"
Yang Ziye extended a warm invitation.
"Wait a minute! I'll take my driver home first."
