Li Bei's twenty phone cards were used to call a manager of a branch store he knew, then troubled him to open the door in the middle of the night and got new cards. They were directly packaged and delivered to Pei Si at Jinshui Apartment.

  At the same time as delivering the mobile phone card to Lǐ Běi, he also specially delivered three dual-card dual-standby phones for Boss to install the phone card. This assistant is absolutely one of the top ten good assistants, thinking thoroughly and considerately.

  "Anything else, boss?"

  Li Bei asked humbly before leaving, actually silently reciting three times in his heart: whatever you do, don't say it's there.

  Pei Si leaned against the car door, looking up at the window on the floor above. "It's over, you can go."

  Li Bei listened to Pei Si Cheng's words and was still quite unaccustomed, stunned for a moment before waving his hand at the boss: "Boss, I'm leaving, see you later."

  He turned around and drove away, looking at his boss through the rearview mirror. He inexplicably felt sorry for his boss and really wanted to walk up to him, shake hands and say "Boss, take care."

  Pei Sicheng leaned against the car door. He looked up at the building, and when the light in Song Yuqiao's bedroom went out, he got down from the stairs, rubbed his neck, and sat back into the car.

  First, he took out the mobile phone with a new SIM card inserted, three dual-card and dual-standby phones, six SIM cards. Pei Si Chuan Fan handed over to Song Yu Qiao first sent a text message: "I was wrong."

  Then changed again and sent: "Don't block me."

  He put the car seat flat, curled up his legs on the seat and lay down, thinking that he would have to spend the long night like this, it was really hard to bear.

  Lying like this is also uncomfortable, and there's no sleepiness at all. Pei Si casually took out his phone to browse through some of your photos.

  There are many photos that Pei Ci took when Song Yuqiao was not paying attention. So, most of them look particularly silly, but Song Yuqiao's eyes are big and her melon seed face has a hint of baby fat, making her look a bit silly and cute.

  ………………

  Upstairs, Song Yuqiao, who looked particularly silly because of Pei's sneaky photo shoot, was also having some insomnia.

  Although Pei Hangyu is a bit mischievous, when it comes to eating, drinking, urinating, and sleeping, he never gives adults extra trouble, so he can eat well, sleep soundly, and grow tall and strong.

  However, this time with the hot milk, Bae Hwan-young only drank half of it and said, "I want to lose weight, so from now on I'll only drink half."

  The little guy said, and then took a big mouthful of milk from the cup. With a painful expression, he handed the milk cup to Song Yuqiao, "Qiao Qiao, take it away quickly! Don't let me see food!"

  Song Yuqiao couldn't help but laugh. She tucked in the corner of Pei Hangyu's quilt, holding a cup of milk and walking out, with the door to the room slightly ajar.

  The milk was still warm, and Song Yuqiao picked up the cup of milk and drank the remaining half cup of milk left by the little guy. For some reason, smelling the taste of pure milk, Song Yuqiao couldn't help but turn his face away, covering his mouth before he could swallow it down.

  Song Yuqiao doesn't dislike drinking pure milk, she just prefers yogurt over milk.

  This time, she felt that the milk had a strange and indescribable taste, which made her feel uncomfortable in her heart, so she went to the washbasin and rinsed her mouth several times.

  Then, lying in bed, I became somewhat sleepless.

  Especially when I went to the balcony and looked down, I found that Pei Si Cheng's car was still parked in its original place, and my heart became even more unsettled.

  Then, I received... twelve strange text messages.

  Song Yuqiao opened the message and took a look. Originally, it was Pei Si's teasing words to make her happy, but she really couldn't laugh now.

  She felt a sharp pain in her heart, cherishing that summer of ChuChu, freed from the crevices of memory.

  That former self, so silly and naive.

  Dr. Aulicino was right, after being awakened from hypnosis, she had recalled all the memories that she had forgotten, at that moment, it felt like she had just woken up from a long dream.

  The end of this dream, unwilling to wake up.

  ………………

  Los Angeles.

  Song Yuqiao left after leaving a note, but actually Pei Shicheng didn't know.

  Something happened at home, it's about Pei Si Cheng's youngest sister Pei Ya.

  At that time, Pei Ya had just graduated from junior high school. During the physical examination for high school admission, the school leaders secretly called Pei Linfeng and Mrs. Pei to the school, putting the medical examination form in front of the two parents, showing... pregnancy!

  But this matter, Pei Yu Bai originally wanted to hide from Pei Si Cheng, after all, there were parents at home, and he could handle it, but Pei Si Cheng still rushed back.

  The person who called Pei Sheng back in a hurry with a phone call of 100,000 yuan was not Zheng Jiawei, but Pei Ying.

  However, after returning, Pei Si-cheng's mobile phone was lost when it was lent to Zheng Jia-wei. Zheng Jia-wei felt particularly embarrassed and said that she would go to the mobile city immediately to buy a new one for Pei Si-cheng.

  Pei Si Cheng is now most worried about his own younger sister Pei Ya, and since the phone was lost, he didn't think much of it and let Zheng Jia Wei handle it herself, as she has always been this kind of person.

  Pei Ya and Pei Ying have a particularly close relationship, also because of their similar ages, and they are in the same school and class, so teachers and classmates often get them mixed up.

  Pei Ying called Pei Si Cheng because she knew that this third brother was more fond of Pei Ya and would definitely rescue her, so she didn't have to force her to have an abortion.

  However, Pei Ying was really wrong about Pei Si Cheng. On the first day of Pei Si Cheng's return, he took Pei Ya to the hospital for surgery.

  At that time, Pei Ying was protecting Pei Ya in front of her, "Third brother, I really misjudged you! Xiao Ya likes that person! If you let Xiao Ya have an abortion, she will be heartbroken for the rest of her life!"

  Pei Si rubbed his brow, and with one hand, he pulled Pei Ying away from Pei Ya's face. He let his older brother, Pei Yi Bai, grab onto him, and come over to pull Pei Ya. "Little Ya, you're still young, do you know what it means to like someone? What it means to love? You don't understand anything yet, but you want to have children with that person? Are you stupid? Little Ya, it's not worth it, do you understand?"

  When Pei Cheng was teaching Pei Ya, he definitely didn't think that half a year later, he would return abroad and meet the girl who was even dumber than Pei Ya, who was already seven months pregnant with his child.

  Bae Ya was knocked unconscious by Bae Seok and taken to the operating table for an abortion. After that, Bae Ya didn't speak a word for a whole month. A month later, she finally spoke up, but she wouldn't talk to Bae Seok, only speaking to everyone else.

  At first, Pei Si Cheng's own sister really hated him deeply.

  However, Pei Si Cheng really took care of Pei Ya in the hospital for three months. When he returned home, he was almost inseparable from her. Once, when Pei Ya didn't like what Pei Si Cheng did, she bit his arm so hard that it almost bled. Pei Si Cheng clenched his teeth and didn't make a sound until she let go, revealing a mouthful of white teeth stained with blood.

  So, on Pei Si Cheng's forearm, there was a bite mark that had faded after several years and wasn't noticeable unless you looked closely.

  Actually, Pei Si Cheng did a good job as an older brother. He found the irresponsible guy who wronged Pei Ya, a hoodlum from a vocational school.

  Pei Si chuckled coldly twice.

  Gu Qingcheng said: "Hand this person over to me, I'll get someone to teach him a lesson. I guarantee that after he comes out, he'll be so obedient and timid that even if he hears the sound of a rooster crowing, he'll be scared enough to pee his pants."

  He was indeed frightened, this person almost fell to the ground, unable to stand up. Pei Si dragged him to apologize to his little sister, and he immediately knelt down, slapping his own face, "It's me who wronged you, child, you hit me hard, I didn't like you before, it was just a playful attitude..."

  After hearing what the boy said, Pei Ya directly got out of bed and kicked him hard with her foot. Then she spoke for the first time after having an abortion, "Get lost!"

  Pei Si Cheng waited until half a year later when Pei Ya had finished all the procedures for studying abroad.

  He originally said he would help Pei Ya with the procedures to go to the United States, which is where his current company is located, so he can take care of her. Alternatively, it could be France, where one of his aunts lives.

  However, Pei Ya chose Britain.

  "I want to start anew in a completely unfamiliar place, I don't want anyone to know me, you understand this feeling, Third Brother?"

  Pei Si Cheng looked at his young and tender-faced sister for a moment before nodding: "I understand."

  On the day of sending off at the airport, Pei Si Cheng and his older brother Pei Yi Bai drove to send Pei Ya to the airport. They saw her off as she left, under the blue sky and white clouds. Pei Ya's thin shoulders and slender figure made Pei Si Cheng feel his sister's loneliness from behind.

  Suddenly, Pei Ya, pulling her suitcase, turned around and rushed towards Pei Si, directly hugging him tightly.

  "Third brother, sorry!"

  Paisong knew what Peiya was saying, before that, Peiya had beaten and scolded Paisong, thinking that Paisong was the culprit who killed the child in her belly, after everything came to light, she couldn't open her mouth and said words of apology.

  "Will you still care about me from now on?"

  Pei Si patted his sister's back and said, "Silly girl, what are you apologizing for? I'm your brother, who else will take care of you?"

  When Pei said the word "brother", a delicate face suddenly appeared in his mind, which was accidentally met in Vancouver and later chased him to Los Angeles.

  Summer is cool...

  I don't know how it is now.

  Sometimes, people really are like this in human relationships.

  Compared with Xia Chuchu at that time, and Pei Ya at that time, in Pei Su's heart, Pei Ya was more important than Xia Chuchu.

  And if compared now, perhaps Song Yuqiao is three points more important than his own life in Pei Shichen's heart.

  ………………

  Six months later, Pei Si Cheng finally got rid of the little sister's affairs from the Pei family and returned to Los Angeles by plane from China. As soon as he entered the door, he saw a note stuck on the back of the door, and when he looked at it again, it was already six months ago.

  He tore the note paper from behind the door and stuck it in his palm.

  Half a year has passed, is there still someone waiting for you at the distant point?

  Yes.

  Just like Song Yuqiao.

  There really is such a silly girl.

  It is said that Pei Shichen is Song Yuqiao's lucky charm, but in fact, it only says half of the truth. Pei Shichen meeting Song Yuqiao was also his good fortune.

  To put it in his own words, he would never wait for a second time, willing to spend half a year waiting for someone who had no news at all.

  ………………

  Song Yuqiao's belly was already quite big, she had returned to Vancouver specifically so that Pei Shichen could find her, and together with Carol went to rent a house. As long as Pei Shichen had the heart to look for her, it shouldn't be too difficult.

  Moreover, Song Yuqiao left her new phone number before leaving the company where Pei Si Cheng was, and wrote it down with a particularly eye-catching signature pen under the glass plate on Pei Si Cheng's office desk: "Xia Chuchu, Phone Number: ……".

  Kalo is also a particularly enthusiastic young man, occasionally when he's not busy, he helps Song Yuqiao buy things or accompanies her to the hospital for check-ups. Occasionally, Song Yuqiao would go to that place where Peisong Cheng first took her back, called "Beloved" bar, holding a glass of water, watching the lively young people on stage all night, while she herself seemed like an old monk in meditation.

  Song Yuqiao still remembers, on a day when the nightlife had not yet begun, she went to that bar, there were not many people in the bar, so she jumped onto the stage, directly jumping up, the stage was a bit uneven, she didn't stand firm, hurriedly holding onto the microphone stand on one side, only then stabilizing her body, and patted her heart.

  Can't be so careless, what if it falls? It hasn't waited for Brother Pei to come back yet, and there's the baby in her belly, she must take good care of the baby before Brother Pei comes back.

  Song Yuqiao looked at the drum set and felt a little itchy, so she went to play the drums. However, because she was a bit rusty and had a baby in her belly, she didn't dare use too much force, so she didn't feel anything. She gave up and came down from the stage, where she saw a young foreign boy with blonde hair.

  Because Song Yuqiao often came to this bar, he naturally remembered the young drummer and greeted him, and the two chatted for a few words.

  Time passed slowly in this situation.

  But hope also disappeared bit by bit in the waiting day after day.

  In fact, Song Yuqiao had initially only scheduled an appointment for two months later. If Pei Shichen didn't come to look for her by then, she would go to a private clinic to have an abortion.

  However, two months passed and there was a little guy in her belly every day, occasionally disturbing her. She suddenly felt a bit reluctant to part with it.

  If it weren't for the little guy in Song Yuqiao's belly, she would absolutely not wait for Pei Si Cheng and would leave without any hesitation, just like before with Ye Zenan. Originally, when taking a plane to leave, C City was considered a city without tears, but now, turning around, Los Angeles is considered a city without tears.

  It's been half a year now.

  Song Yuqiao would still go out to do some relatively relaxing part-time jobs during the day, but at night, when she was insomnia and couldn't sleep, she would spread her diary on the table, then hold a pen and write down Pei Shichen's name stroke by stroke, filling up an entire notebook.

  The key had been hanging around her neck all along, and in her free time, she would touch it with her hand, using the warmth of her palm to balance out the chilly metal breath, before smiling and tucking the key back into her collar.

  Perhaps, from the beginning of Song Yuqiao and Pei Cheng's relationship, her feelings for her brother Pei were just a dependence, not necessarily liking him that much. However, during this more than half a year of pregnancy, while waiting, she had really become infatuated with her brother Pei to an extreme degree.

  What's more, she can't wait any longer.

  She's going to Los Angeles to find Pace!

  The day she was leaving for Los Angeles, Carol accompanied him to see her off. In fact, Carol still had a good impression of this reckless and careless little Chinese girl.

  "Smooth sailing all the way, China's little girl."

  At the airport, Song Yuqiao originally didn't want to hug Carlo goodbye, she always felt it was a bit awkward, she was Brother Pei's, and only Brother Pei could hug her. However, she also knew that this was just a way of saying goodbye, even if they did hug, there would be a belly in between, which was really inconvenient.

  After more than half a year, Song Yuqiao returned to Los Angeles.

  On the day of her return, Los Angeles was overcast with rain, and a light drizzle fell from the sky. Song Yuqiao didn't bring an umbrella, so she went into a convenience store to buy one, holding it up herself.

  She looked around and searched for Pei's figure everywhere.

  The last time was at the airport on a rainy day like this, what about this time, will we meet again?

  Song Yuqiao had almost regarded Pei Sheng as an all-powerful god, really hoping that he could now descend from the sky like a heavenly god, and she could rush into his arms without any scruples.

  Song Yuqiao took a taxi directly to Pei Cheng's residence.

  All the way, Song Yuqiao's heart was pounding violently, this is the first time Song Yuqiao felt the so-called "near-hometown fear" feeling, at first eagerly hoping to arrive quickly, but when approaching the destination, he hoped that time would slow down, just a little slower.

  As for Zhang Mengxue's words at the beginning, Song Yuqiao didn't believe them. Why should she trust a woman who just came and said something? She spent two months thinking it through, that was her life, that was her Pei brother, her Pei brother was so excellent, having one or two ex-girlfriends, what's wrong with that? That just proved that her Pei brother was very excellent, other women liked him, but wanting to snatch Pei brother away from her? Don't even think about it.

  She is now officially Pae's girlfriend and she is also pregnant with his child.

  Song Yuqiao was never the kind of woman who thought that just because she was pregnant, she could tie a man down for the rest of her life. But this time, she had made an exception and acted foolishly.

  All the way, Song Yuqiao was thinking that when he saw Brother Pei for the first time, what words to say, just rush up and give him a hug, but now his belly is already round and rolling, I'm afraid he can't hug Brother Pei anymore, when hugging himself, he will have to hold his own round and rolling belly together.

  Thinking of this, a particularly pleasant scene emerged in Song Yuqiao's mind, and she couldn't help but burst out laughing.

  He immediately covered his mouth with his hand, two fingers pressed against his lips, and a pair of dark eyes rolled around in a circle.

  Should I pretend to ignore him first? After all, it's been so long, let's be cruel for a moment, and make sure Brother Pei apologizes to himself before forgiving him.

  But perhaps Brother Pei had something on his mind, he absolutely wasn't being intentional, he was very good to himself before.

  Alright, he must apologize first, then I will forgive him.

  At the end of the day, in Song Yuqiao's view now, five years ago, Xia Chuchu only felt that she was not resigned to being deceived by Ye Zenan for the first time and then being deceived again for the second time. So this time, she didn't want to adopt the same approach as before, with more expectations in her heart, she no longer wanted to walk away, but wanted to seek the truth.

  Not at all, the Song Yuqiao who initially fell in love with Ye Zenan and later met Pei Sicong in Vancouver has become more mature in dealing with emotions. She is no longer impulsive like before and will consider the consequences of her actions.

  But what if such hesitation brings even greater harm?

  Every time I think back, it hurts.

  It turned out that Song Yuqiao had once read a sentence in a book: Memories are a bridge leading to a desolate prison.

  At that time, she thought this sentence was particularly pretentious, what loneliness, what bridge, forgive her for not having such profound literary accomplishment.

  Now she really felt it.

  It's really a bridge, and it's a single-plank bridge. If you're not careful, you'll fall off, but if you meet Peisong on the single-plank bridge and only one person is allowed to pass, she will still jump down without hesitation and give him the chance to live.

  ………………

  On that somewhat chilly and rainy day, Song Yuqiao held an umbrella and came to Pei Si Cheng's residence, closing the umbrella and leaning it against the wall.

  The rainwater slid down the umbrella, dripping onto the marble floor and spreading out into a large patch of water. Song Yuqiao's heart was racing as she lifted her foot to step on the puddle on the ground, waiting until she had wiped it clean before stretching out her hand to knock on the door.

  However, there was no one inside to open the door, and after waiting for a long time, no one came over.

  Song Yuqiao felt a little downhearted, her hands clenched the clothes in front of her, which had already been twisted into wrinkles. Her heart was now like the tightly wrinkled clothes, unable to relax.

  Fortunately, I have the key myself.

  Song Yuqiao took down the key that had been hanging from his neck for half a year, and his fingers touched the key which still held his body temperature, trembling slightly. One hand supported the other as he grasped the wrist holding the key. Although it was just opening the door with the key, Song Yuqiao seemed to be facing a formidable enemy, staring at the keyhole in front of him for a long time before inserting the key.

  "Crack".

  The door opened, and Song Yuqiao's heart lock also opened.

  Song Yuqiao's hand shook and the key fell to the ground with a crisp "ding".

  It actually... really opened?!

  Paischen didn't change the lock on the door.

  It turned out that Pei Si Cheng didn't change the lock after all.

  Is he leaving himself a way out?!

  Song Yuqiao's heart skipped a beat, and she didn't even think about the key. She first stuck her head in and called out, "Brother Pei?"

  However, inside the room, there was not a single bit of atmosphere.

  Song Yuqiao raised his hand and wiped a handful of dust on the cabinet.

  Hasn't Brother Pei come back since I left?

  Song Yuqiao took a look at the decorations in the living room and they seemed to be all from half a year ago, without any changes.

  But behind the door... that note was gone.

  Song Yuqiao didn't close the door behind her, took two steps forward, and couldn't help but feel a little lost inside. Her heart felt like it was being grasped tightly by a soft baby's hand, making it hard to breathe.

  She took two steps forward, and suddenly a very faint sound came from behind her.

  Song Yuqiao is now especially vigilant, so his hearing has become particularly sensitive.

  She turned around and saw her long-awaited Pei brother, her eyes widening in astonishment.

  Pei Chi wore a black leather jacket, with a pair of black pencil pants on the bottom. He probably didn't bring an umbrella, his hair was completely soaked, and water droplets fell from his hair onto his jacket, then rolled down to the ground. His gaze, however, was fixed on Song Yuqiao's round belly, with an unmistakable look of astonishment in his eyes.

  Song Yuqiao said: "Brother Pei, why don't you carry an umbrella?"

  "Are you pregnant?!" said Pei Su Cheng.

  Two people exclaimed in unison, almost using the same tone of surprise. The only difference was that Song Yuqiao had already rushed over to Pei Si Cheng at the same time as he spoke, and couldn't help but give him a big hug.

  "Pei Gege, you've come back for me? I knew you wouldn't abandon me!"

  Originally on the road, Song Yuqiao had repeatedly warned and exhorted him to let Pei Si apologize first, only then would she talk to him. But now that they were all scattered in different directions, she couldn't help herself, she couldn't control her desire to hug him.

  Pei Cheng helped Song Yuqiao sit up straight and looked her over from head to toe. "Are you pregnant?"

  Song Yuqiao blinked her eyes and put one hand on her belly: "Isn't it obvious?"

  "Whose is it?" Pei Si Cheng asked with a slight tremble, involuntarily rubbing his temples. Having just dealt with an unborn life at home, he had returned abroad only to... His mind already had an answer that was on the verge of surfacing, and Pei Si Cheng's heart was gradually accelerating.

  Song Yuqiao said: "It's yours, I've been to the hospital for a check-up, now it's seven months, the doctor said the baby is very healthy, and the expected delivery date has already been set."

  Pei Si Cheng was completely stunned.

  What one thinks in his heart and what he firmly believes are two completely different things.

  However, Pei Sicheng soon came to himself and his eyes fell on Song Yuqiao's belly, already with a hint of joy.

  Song Yuqiao's heart is now drumming, after all, her experience is too shallow, and she doesn't understand what Pei Gege is thinking about right now. To say the least, she took the initiative to keep this child, which is really a bit guilty conscience, without informing Pei Si Cheng, and even until now, more than seven months have passed, only then did she reveal the truth of the matter.

  However, the next second, Pei's palm was already covering Song Yuqiao's belly, and the temperature of his palm penetrated through the thin layer of fabric.

  "How many months?"

  Pais Cheng's voice was slightly trembling, as if he couldn't hold back the gloominess. His Adam's apple rolled up and down twice before he finally asked, his usually calm eyes gradually showing a layer of ripples.

  He was indeed a bit excited because Song Yuqiao had just mentioned the child's month and he asked again.

  Song Yuqiao grasped Pei Sheng's hand and replied: "Seven and a half months."

  Paisong Chen suddenly squatted down, unexpectedly close to Song Yuqiao's belly, making her involuntarily take a step back, and her wrist was already tightly grasped by Paisong Chen.

  "Is it my child?"

  Song Yuqiao nodded again: "Yes, it's your child, Brother Pei."

  At this moment, Pei Si Cheng looked at Song Yu Qiao's innocent face and her slightly struggling to stand up due to her rounded belly. During this time, his heart, which had been troubled by the mess caused by Pei Ya in the country, finally relaxed at this moment.

  He was saying goodbye to Pei Ya at the airport, still calling her a silly girl. But now, here, there is another silly girl who, unbeknownst to him, has had a baby grow so big in her belly over the past six months since he returned home.

  Seven and a half months...

  What exactly did he miss?

  Even now, Pei Sheng still doesn't know why Song Yuqiao had the courage to decide to keep this child in the first place, when the road ahead was uncertain.

  Much later on, Song Yuqiao said: "Because I wanted to take a gamble, it was the craziest thing I've ever done."

  ………………

  This couple who are going to be parents soon, both of them are quite irresponsible.

  This summer, Chu Chu is in Pei Si Cheng's eyes, lively and not like before, now with a big belly, every moment needs attention, needs to be protected, to avoid any accidents.

  Pei Ge in Song Yuqiao's eyes is a male god, who can follow her to help her clean up the mess, and take care of both her and Bao Bao meticulously.

  Sometimes, lying in bed, Pei Si asked, "Silly girl, what do you think if I don't come back this time?"

  "So I'll just give birth to this little fire alone and then find him a stepfather, and that way I won't need you anymore."

  This is certainly Song Yuqiao's casual joke.

  If she were truly asked this question, she wouldn't know the answer either, because she had never thought of such a possibility.

  In her heart, Pei Shuai is omnipotent, he is her only one, he is her Xia Chuchu's Pei brother.

  "Little fire?" Pei Si asked doubtfully.

  Song Yu nodded heavily: "Yes, Pei Xiao Huo, that's the nickname I gave him, Red Fire."

  ………………

  When Song Yuqiao was eight months pregnant, Pei Shi accompanied her to the hospital for a prenatal examination, and the fetus was very healthy.

  Song Yuqiao held Pei Shichen's hand, "Actually, the little fire in my belly has always been very well-behaved, never making a fuss. At first, there was a bit of morning sickness, but it wasn't severe at all. Later on, it became even more well-behaved."

  Pei Si Cheng looked at Song Yu Qiao's still tender face and held her even tighter in his arms.

  The doctor's words, Pei Si Cheng listened very seriously and memorized them, as if he wanted to carve every word into his brain, and on the way back, he kept repeating.

  This period of time was the happiest moment in Song Yuqiao's heart. Under Pei Gege's wings, she was truly carefree and flying high, like a bird frolicking, with both wings flapping tiredly.

  Pei Shichen bought Song Yuqiao anti-slip slippers, and also laid down anti-slip mats on the bathroom floor to prevent her from falling. Every evening after work, he would accompany Song Yuqiao for a stroll in the garden outside, looking like a newlywed couple.

  However, neither of them has mentioned anything about getting married for the time being, after all, Song Yuqiao is still underage.

  Song Yuqiao thought to herself, actually not going back to China to get a marriage certificate is fine too, just go to Las Vegas and get married abroad, thinking about it, it's all very romantic.

  ………………

  One time when they came out of the hospital after a prenatal checkup, the two walked hand in hand on the road, but inadvertently saw a familiar figure.

  The bright smile on Song Yuqiao's face suddenly disappeared.

  It was this woman who said her name was Zhang Mengxue, and she was originally Bai Ge's girlfriend. It was because of her that Song Yuqiao was tempted to leave.

  Zhang Mengxue has been staying in Los Angeles since her last visit, after returning to China once. She is currently with a ballet troupe.

  "Pei Si Cheng, long time no see."

  Zhang Mengxue's first greeting when she saw Pei Si Cheng was a sentence "long time no see".

  For some reason, Song Yuqiao felt a sour feeling in her heart after hearing it, as if Zhang Mengxue's sentence was not seen for a long time, and it seemed to be intentionally said to her.

  Zhang Mengxue's gaze fell on Song Yuqiao's already very large belly, and her eyes were full of astonishment. However, she only showed surprise in her expression, and when talking to Pei Si Cheng, her tone didn't change at all.

  Pei Si Cheng said two sentences to Zhang Meng Xue, then wanted to take Song Yu Qiao and turn around to leave. Zhang Meng Xue called out behind him: "Pei Si Cheng, wait a minute!"

  Zhang Mengxue was so anxious that she directly reached out and grabbed Pei Si Cheng's arm.

  Song Yu frowned, took a step forward, and knocked Zhang Mengxue's hand away. He glared at Zhang Mengxue with his eyebrows furrowed so tightly they seemed capable of pinching a fly to death, his eyes full of warning.

  Zhang Mengxue looked at Song Yuqiao for a moment, then turned to Pei Si Cheng and said: "I want to talk to you alone for a bit."

  At nineteen years old, Song Yuqiao was really naive compared to now. She directly asked: "Why do you want to talk privately? I also want to listen."

  Zhang Mengxue laughed, but in Song Yuqiao's ears, this laughter seemed to have a hint of mockery.

  Pei Si patted Song Yuqiao's back, "You go over there and wait for me, I'll be three minutes."

  Song Yuqiao's cheeks were puffed up with anger, "It's been so long, two minutes, I only waited for you for two minutes. If you don't come over, I'll leave by myself."

  After haggling over the price, Song Yuqiao finally supported her belly and slowly walked two steps forward to a long bench, sat down, but her eyes were still fixed on Pei Si Cheng and Zhang Mengxue, and added another sentence to Pei Si Cheng: "I'll only wait for you for two minutes, now there's one minute and fifty seconds left!"

  Song Yu's gaze at Zhang Mengxue was filled with hostility, and Zhang Mengxue easily sensed it.

  Zhang Mengxue nodded towards Song Yuqiao on the long chair and looked at Pei Si Cheng: "She's really a little girl, Pei Si Cheng. Don't you feel tired staying with her all day? And having to coax her and cater to her?"

  "It has nothing to do with you."

  These four words, Zhang Mengxue's heart felt like it had been pricked by a needle. It was as if the original fake marriage contract that connected her to Pei Si Cheng had vanished into thin air, leaving no trace of their intricate connections behind.

  Even if Pei Su had no feelings for her at all, but the words he spoke now were too hurtful. Zhang Mengxue's heart skipped a beat, and it hurt as if fresh blood was seeping out.

  She smiled bitterly: "Are you always going to use this tone with me? Indifferent and unenthusiastic? We've already completely cut ties, can't you treat me like Zheng Jiawei, as a friend? Sometimes I just care about you as an ordinary friend, in a foreign land, as fellow Chinese people, is it wrong to show concern for each other? Do you have to push people away with such distance?"

  Zhang Mengxue said a lot of words and vented all her dissatisfaction in her heart.

  But if it were Xia Chuchu, she would probably directly pull Pei Si Cheng over and stubbornly not let him leave.

  Pei Si had always thought of Zhang Meng Xue as a friend, or rather, he didn't even think of her as a friend, but as a responsibility, temporarily entrusted to him by Qi Xuan to take care of.

  However, now that Zhang Mengxue has spoken up like this, Pei Si Cheng also nodded: "Mm."

  Zhang Mengxue took a step forward, slightly closer to Pei Si Cheng, and asked: "The child in her belly, is it yours?"

  Pei Si nodded: "Yes."

  "Is it?" Zhang Mengxue smiled lightly.

  Although Zhang Mengxue raised doubts at this point, Pei Si Cheng had never doubted it.

  Because Song Yuqiao's reaction was really too awkward, if she said she had other men, he simply didn't believe it.

  Song Yuqiao leaned on the long chair, took a look at the time on her wrist, and it had been two minutes. What to do? Was she supposed to leave Pei Ge alone and walk away by herself? She wasn't willing to do that.

  She raised her head to take a look at Pei Si Cheng and Zhang Meng Xue, the two people's current posture seemed especially intimate. Song Yu Qiao suddenly jumped up from the long chair, not caring that she was pregnant now, and in two steps, she rushed over and directly pulled Pei Si Cheng behind her, staring at Zhang Meng Xue, declaring sovereignty-like: "Brother Pei is mine!"

  Pei Si Cheng lost his smile and wrapped his arms around Song Yu Qiao's waist, "She is just a friend."

  Zhang Mengxue nodded in agreement, looking at Song Yuqiao's eyes as if she was looking at a naive little sister: "This little girlfriend of yours has taken me for an imaginary enemy."

  Actually, no.

  Women are particularly sensitive in this regard, especially Song Yuqiao who is extremely insecure at the moment. She is now trying her best to be a female warrior and drive away all the butterflies that want to fly to Pei Ge's side.

  Song Yuqiao comforted herself in her heart that Pei Gege liked her and she had Pei Gege's child in her belly.

  ………………

  Although Zhang Mengxue said she didn't return to China and lived in Los Angeles, she kept in touch with Zheng Jiawei, occasionally sharing her troubles with Zheng Jiawei. As close friends, they always had a lot to talk about.

  This time, after running into Song Yuqiao who was pregnant, she felt like her heart was blocked and immediately called Zheng Jiawei.

  Zheng Jiawei was also extremely surprised on the other end of the phone: "How is that possible?! Pregnant?! Pei Si Cheng has been at home for more than half a year, isn't that woman having a child with someone else and wanting to rely on Pei San?"

  Zhang Mengxue said: "The child in her belly is at least eight months old, and it's possible that she got pregnant before Pei Si returned to China."

  Zheng Jiawei cursed on the other side, "How cheap can you be? Want to use a child to tie Pei San around her? If Pei Si Cheng doesn't like her, it's all in vain. Isn't it just a child?"

  Zhang Mengxue sighed in her heart, "It seems that Pei Si Cheng has taken a liking to her."

  "Do you like it? If you like it, would you let her be alone with the child abroad and only return after more than half a year?" Zheng Jiawei sneered, "I had installed a listening device on Pei Si Cheng's phone before. The calls from the US side were all about work matters, without mentioning anything about the child or woman."

  Zhang Mengxue didn't know what to say anymore.

  In fact, it's not like what Zheng Jiawei said. Although she had only met Xia Chuchu twice, Pei Si Cheng still cared about her a lot.

  "Is it about her or is it about the child in her belly?" Zheng Jiawei said, "What did Peis Cheng say?"

  Zhang Mengxue will say clearly what Pei Shichen said on the phone before, and what he said when they met on the road last time.

  "He said to break off the engagement, but actually there was no need for that. The engagement was fake from the start and it's still fake now. I've already told him, I don't like him anymore, I want to retreat to being friends, so I can watch from afar as he gets married and has kids."

  Zhang Mengxue's words had a somewhat self-abandoning tone, and Zheng Jiawei frowned upon hearing them.

  "Have they gotten their marriage certificate? I don't think so, even if they did, there's still divorce. Isn't it too early to give up now? She's just a 19-year-old girl, you're eight or nine years older than her, can't you handle her?" Zheng Jiawei said, "You told Pei San that you were friends, listen to me, what are you doing now..."

  "It doesn't seem right."

  "What's wrong with that, let's try it out," Zheng Jiawei said. "I'll help you mail the engagement video tape later, give me your address. I'm busy at home now, after things calm down at home, I'll go to the US to find you. I want to see what kind of person Xia Chuchu is."

  In fact, Xia Chuchu is not that sacred, she doesn't have a high education background, only a little cleverness that hasn't been used in the right way, and her looks can only be described as delicate and pleasant to look at, but not stunning.

  She now relies on Pei Si Cheng's care and concern, which has always been the case. Once Pei Si Cheng's care and concern are gone, she will have nothing left.

  ………………

  This winter was colder than in previous years, and thick woolen coats were all taken out for the winter.

  Song Yuqiao, due to pregnancy, had become plumper and her complexion was rosy. Wrapped in a fluffy fur coat, she looked like a lazy cat.

  It was around this time that she started to get clingy with Paisley, even following her to the bathroom and standing outside with her pajamas, waiting for her to finish. There were two instances where she wanted to accompany Paisley to work at the company, but he stopped her.

  However, Pei Sicheng also tries his best to spend as much time with Song Yuqiao as possible. Except for working hours, he can accompany Song Yuqiao at home on Saturdays and Sundays, watching TV with her, doing yoga together, and occasionally even helping her take a bath, but every time he ends up getting burned by the intense passion.

  After three months of pregnancy, you can be more open in bed.

  Every time Song Yuqiao leaned against Pei Cheng's body, he couldn't help but press her into his own arms, fiercely kneading and kissing her, his lips covering the fullness of her chest that seemed to be bursting out, until both of them couldn't help but breathe heavily.

  Song Yuqiao's reaction was still very awkward, and because of the fear of itching, he always wanted to curl up his whole body and use both arms to push away Pei Shichen. Before entering, they had already made sufficient foreplay preparations, and Song Yuqiao's body was completely wet and could accommodate, but due to Song Yuqiao's tension, he couldn't relax, and twice Pei Shichen was forced to go to the bathroom to solve it himself.

  This is really a naive reaction, Pei Si Cheng is indeed both loving and hating, loving that he knows, from start to finish, Xia Chuchu only has him as the man. Hating that every time it ends like this without any result, will he become useless himself?

  It's also because Pei Su himself lacks patience and skill.

  As soon as he came out of the bathroom, Pei Shuai saw Song Yuqiao staring at him with tears in her eyes. "Brother Pei, let's try again, I'll definitely relax this time."

  Pei Si walked over and lay down beside Song Yuqiao, kissing her forehead. "Don't try anymore, you're fine just the way you are."

  At night, Song Yuqiao lay on her side in bed, because of the increasingly large belly, turning over was particularly difficult.

  She poked Pei's ribcage, "You know, Brother Pei, every woman is a man's missing rib, taken away by God. You also have a missing rib, but it's gone. Now you need to find that rib back."

  Pei Si nodded and said "en".

  Song Yuqiao leaned into Pei Cheng's arms and curled up slightly, "You said, that rib of yours that belongs to you, have you found it?"

  Song Yuqiao waited for a long time after asking the question, but still didn't get an answer from Pei Sicheng. She raised her head, took a look at Pei Sicheng's expression, stretched out her slender fingers and poked his shoulder blade, frowning.

  "Huh?" Pei Cheng replied somewhat absent-mindedly: "What did you just say?"

  Song Yuqiao grunted and struggled to turn over, "I'm not talking to you anymore."

  Paisong was intentional, he chuckled and stretched out his arms to hold Song Yuqiao in his embrace, his chest pressed against her back, "That rib that God took away, I've found it."

  "Who is it?"

  Pais leaned against her nape, "Guess what?"

  "Don't guess, love is who it is," Song Yuqiao pulled up her quilt, "No more talking, sleep!"

  Pei Si couldn't help but smile wryly.

  ………………

  Originally a ten-month pregnancy, from seven and a half months to eight and a half months, Pei Si Cheng only accompanied her for one month, trying his best to be good to her, pouring out all he had.

  However, Song Yuqiao still didn't have a sense of security.

  Pregnant women, who clearly know that only the child in their abdomen is dependent on them, become extremely sensitive and fragile.

  This sense of security, which had been somewhat balanced, was finally completely broken on the day Zhang Mengxue came to their home.

  ………………

  During the day, Song Yuqiao always liked to stay at home alone because of the cold and laziness. She didn't want to move until Pei Shichen came back for dinner. Then she would move around and even help Pei Shichen massage his back and shoulders, asking if he was tired from work that day. With her big belly, she would go to the kitchen to cook soup for Pei Shichen, but in the end, the soup always ended up in Song Yuqiao's own stomach due to Pei Shichen's coaxing.

  At home, Pei Sheng invited a part-time worker for Song Yuqiao, who is a Taiwanese and runs a postpartum care center outside, mainly serving Chinese people. The dishes are also very suitable for Song Yuqiao's taste, so she stayed.

  One noon, Auntie Wang had just put all the dishes on the table when the doorbell rang.

  Song Yuqiao now likes to listen to the doorbell the most. Eight or nine out of ten times it is Brother Pei coming back.

  She hastily walked over, and the nanny auntie behind her called out twice: "Slow down."

  But what's even more disappointing than disappointment is that the person standing outside the door isn't the one you like, but rather the one you dislike even more.

  Zhang Mengxue trailed behind a suitcase, and in the instant when Song Yuqiao opened the door, Song Yuqiao's smile froze, while Zhang Mengxue's face revealed a hint of joyful smile.

  "Hello, Chuchu."

  Song Yu frowned: "What are you doing here? Brother Pei is not around right now, and don't call me by my name."

  It's time to drill at the end of the month, and next month will be cleared to zero, byebye~
