The streetlights in Latour City were still on. Xiang Nanzhi felt dizzy and lightheaded, his mind filled with thoughts of Shen Shixun and the child.
As she walked, she suddenly stopped on the side of the street and saw a man who was about as burly as Shen Shixun. Forgetting that she was stiff all over, she jogged over to him.
"Sinking..."
The man turned around, and she realized it wasn't him. "I'm sorry."
Xiang Nanzhi let go, and Xiang Jingyi chased after her, saying, "Zhizhi, I will definitely find the person, don't worry."
"How did you find this place? Do you think this is an ancient city? Brother, have you ever been to the grasslands?"
Xiang Nanzhi's voice was devoid of any emotion as she turned to look at him, "Do you know that you've driven him to the brink?"
Tears welled in her eyes, and something was weighing on her heart. If she opened her mouth, she would burst into tears.
In such a vast uninhabited area, on such a vast grassland, it would be too easy for Shen Shixun to not be found. There is not a trace of a city deep in the grassland, and even navigation would fail there.
"I love him so much, we even have a child together, why are you and Dad doing this?"
Xiang Nanzhi raised her hand to wipe away her tears. "Where's my phone? My phone...give me my phone."
“Zhizhi, you two are worlds apart. If it weren’t for getting rid of Song Ze… Dad would never have agreed to your relationship with Shen Shixun.”
“Dad once said that Shen Shixun was a good person. Does that mean a good person is someone who is used as a pawn? If he had agreed back then, I could have aborted the child and had nothing to do with Shen Shixun.”
Xiang Nanzhi trembled all over. "Is he afraid that I will go to Song Ze again and use Shen Shixun as a shield? Is he deliberately making me marry him just to restrict me?"
Xiang Jingyi grabbed her hand and said, "Dad is doing this for your own good. He's your father, and everything he does is for your benefit."
Give me the phone!
"Calm down first."
"Give me the phone! Give it to me..." Xiang Nanzhi yelled at Xiang Jingyi, then clutched his head and burst into tears, "If he doesn't want me to find him, I won't be able to find him at all."
She brought the glutinous rice balls with her, which was giving him an opportunity and walking into a trap.
If she had known that Shen Shixun and his family had reached this point, that they were irreconcilable and had already broken off all ties, she would never have brought Tangyuan to him without any precautions.
No one told her about this. She thought that after her postpartum period, she could start a happy life with him. She was too naive.
"Brother, give me your phone."
"Calm down, look at yourself right now."
"I can't calm down..."
Xiang Jingyi also began to regret it at this moment. He was afraid that she would not be able to take good care of herself during her postpartum period, and he was also afraid that she would hold a grudge against the family. So he privately discussed this matter with Shen Shixun and planned to push all the blame onto him.
Who could have imagined that Shen Shixun would pull such a stunt, using Xiang Nanzhi to achieve his goal, only to deliver a heavy blow to her and the Xiang family instead?
Xiang Jingyi didn't blame her. He just helped her up and felt that she was as cold as ice. He felt sorry for her. "Zhizhi, find a place to rest first. Leave everything else to me. Ciyuan will be arriving in Latu soon."
"Be rational, don't make Dad unhappy over a man like that."
Neither he nor Xiang Ciyuan dared to openly go against the old man's wishes. Although Xiang Nanzhi was used to being willful in front of him, he still knew what was going on.
The old man is furious that she brought her child to Saigon this time...
He headed south to another intersection without saying a word, and as he walked, he suddenly collapsed to the ground.
The fog was still very thick. Xiang Jingyi was on high alert and almost staggered as he ran over and picked the person up in his arms.
"Zhizhi, Xiangnanzhi..."
As dawn broke over the city, the child slept soundly in Shen Shixun's arms all night.
He glanced down at the child in his arms, his boots crunching on the soft grass, then casually picked up a smaller horse and slowly headed deeper into the grassland.
Not long after the child entered the depths of the plateau, Shen Shixun saw his face turn pale at a visible speed.
The man was taken aback and became somewhat flustered. As soon as he approached the group of tents in the tribe, he immediately picked up the child and went to find the Mamba of the grassland.
Mamba could immediately tell it was altitude sickness. Shen Shixun found it laughable and squinted slightly. "I brought him from Latu. He didn't have any adverse reactions in Latu."
"Which has a higher altitude, Latu or this place?"
"How could children from the grasslands suffer from altitude sickness...?"
"Children adapt quickly; they'll be fine in a few days."
Mamba put something in the child's mouth and said, "Now you can go back."
Shen Shixun thanked them while holding the child, and led his horse out of the grassland.
The sun shone on the grass, bringing a cool breeze that didn't make him feel warm. Instead, it was the child in his arms that brought him endless warmth. Shen Shixun rubbed his chin against the child's face.
His stubble grew wildly from staying up all night, scratching the child's face. Perhaps feeling uncomfortable, the child moved slightly in his arms.
A moment later, Gila saw him. "Big brother!"
She waved frantically at him, forgetting that she was pregnant, and ran over. Her mother also saw him.
After returning to the grassland, Shenmu couldn't go crazy for several days. She calmed down completely and saw him holding the child in his arms from afar. She put down her work and slowly got up.
Shen Shixun was in a great mood, but it was as if something was pressing down on him, making it hard for him to breathe.
Looking down, I saw that the child was already awake.
Xiang Yun slept the whole way, and the jolting of the horse didn't wake him. But when he arrived at the grassland, he opened his eyes, looked around, saw the lush green grass, and looked at the blue sky above...
Gila touched the child's face and said excitedly, "Big brother, he's just as fair-skinned as sister-in-law, with skin as white as snow."
Gila's hands were slender and bony, but not fair or smooth. She looked up and met Shen Shixun's gaze, noticing the loneliness in his eyes, and couldn't help but look behind him.
"Brother, where's sister-in-law? Wasn't she supposed to come back with her?"
"Big brother..."
Jira's smile faded, somewhat taken aback. "Didn't your sister-in-law come back with you?"
“She’s from the ancient city, how could she come to live on the grassland with us?”
With just that one sentence, Jira froze, turning back to look at her mother who was walking towards them from not far away. "Brother, could it be..." Could it be that her sister-in-law had abandoned the child and didn't want him anymore?
As Gila thought of this, tears welled up in her eyes.
How can outsiders be so heartless? First, Dad betrayed Mom, and now even my eldest brother has encountered this kind of thing.
Shen Shixun didn't offer much explanation. Taking advantage of his mother's arrival to see the child, he slowly said, "Mom, can you understand what I'm saying now?"
Mother Shen nodded, beaming from ear to ear, "She's so fair-skinned."
She laughed while wiping away her tears, "Mom, don't cry, why are you crying?"
"Wow, Sehun already has a child."
"Gira, hold him, I need to go find the chief."
"What do you want with the leader?"
"move place."
