Mumu was squatting on the ground playing with a wooden car. When he heard the two women talking about the baby, he immediately ran over with interest.
"Is there a baby in my aunt's belly?"
"Yes! Mumu, would you like to play with the baby in the future?" Si Yang asked him with a smile.
"Well, when little brother comes out, I'll give him the toy car to play with." Mumu looked up with a generous look on his face.
"That's great. Thank you, little brother." Perhaps because he has a child, Si Yang's heart softens when he looks at other people's children.
Qiu Xia was just surprised. She had begun to suspect that Si Yang was pregnant with a boy.
Because she had heard people say back in her hometown that children can accurately tell the gender of the baby in the pregnant mother's belly.
Seeing Qiu Xia looking forward to the "prize draw", Si Yang asked her if there had been any progress between her and Brigade Commander Qi recently.
When Qiu Xia heard her talk about Qi Jingyan, she was no longer as nervous as before. She knew that she and Qi Jingyan were from two different social classes, so she would not have any random thoughts.
But when she thought of that calm and gentle man, her heart beat faster uncontrollably.
In the evening, Qiu Xia cooked the beef and grouper that Si Yang brought.
Qiu Xia stewed beef with tomatoes and, under Si Yang's guidance, steamed a fish she had never seen before. She also stir-fried seasonal vegetables.
Just as we started eating, there was a knock on the door.
Qiu Xia guessed it must be Qi Jingyan, but when the door opened, she saw that in addition to Qi Jingyan, Pei Tingyu had also come.
It was rare for the two men to meet each other. Although they were not in the same team and did not have much interaction, Pei Tingyu was grateful to Qi Jingyan for helping him send Si Yang to the hospital last time, so he made a special trip to thank Qi Jingyan with a gift.
We met again at the gate of the compound today, and we chatted naturally all the way. I actually felt that we had met too late.
After the two men entered the house, Qiu Xia added more bowls and chopsticks for them and opened a bottle of red wine that Si Yang brought.
They drank and chatted, from politics to marriage, to values and life ideals. The two women felt inexplicably redundant and quietly left the table to continue studying fashion design.
On the way back, Pei Tingyu looked at the military jeep parked on the side of the road and suddenly remembered that he had driven a car.
Si Yang walked towards the driver's seat and said, "I'll drive."
Pei Tingyu was secretly surprised, "You can drive?"
Si Yang raised his eyebrows with a look of pride, "I can even make a helicopter turn."
Pei Tingyu had a charming smile, and his tone was mellow and hoarse after drinking. "I believe you. Just walk with me tonight. It's not far back..."
The two walked hand in hand under the street lights. His palms were broad and hot. The night wind blew the branches and the leaves rustled.
This quiet time that belongs only to the two of them will soon become extremely precious because of the arrival of their child, so they tacitly cherish it even more.
As they walked, Si Yang turned his head to look at the dim alley on the side. He didn't know why, but he always felt that there were eyes staring at them in the dark... This chapter has been read (please click on the next chapter to continue reading!)
