In the evening, when Lu Lingxi got home, Wang Shuxiu asked about his visit to the plant nursery. This time, Lu Lingxi went to Lingshui Village and promised to stay for one day only, but it turned out that he stayed for another day. Although Lu Lingxi said on the phone that he was fine, Wang Shuxiu was still a little worried.
According to her past habits, Wang Shuxiu had always treated Lu Lingxi as a free-range kid. In the past, it was because Lu Lingxi was too rebellious and didnât want her to take care of him, but later on, it was because Lu Lingxi was too sensible and there was nothing she could take care of. Even when Lu Lingxi ran a plant nursery at a young age, Wang Shuxiu didnât worry about it at all. But lately, who knows what was going on, perhaps because of her pregnancy, Wang Shuxiu had started to worry about Lu Lingxiâs affairs, asking him a few questions from time to time.
She asked in detail, and Lu Lingxi also wanted to make her happy, picking out what he could talk about and telling about it seriously. Except for the panel and the evolution of the willow tree, Lu Lingxi didnât hide anything from Wang Shuxiu.
âBig Brother Yan saidâŚâ
Lu Lingxi mentioned Yan Yue a few times, and Wang Shuxiuâs heart inexplicably thudded. The little bastard started almost every sentence with âBig Brother Yan saidâ; Yan Yueâs name appeared in the little bastardâs mouth a little too often. She remembered her last visit to the hospital and felt that something was wrong. A suspicion grew in her mind, but she didnât dare to think about it for a while.
Wang Shuxiu listened to Lu Lingxiâs story as if nothing had happened and asked as if casually, âI remember that there seems to be only one house over there in the plant nursery where people can live. How do you and Yan Yue live there, Xiao Xi?â
Lu Lingxi was taken aback for a moment, a little confused about what Wang Shuxiu meant, but he still replied, âTogether.â
Wang Shuxiuâs heart sank, and that uneasy thought became even stronger. She was about to say something when Xiao Feng came out after taking a shower and saw them talking, reminding, âItâs getting late, itâs time for Xiaohua to rest.â
After all, Wang Shuxiu was too old compared to a pregnant young girl in her 20s, and had to rest for at least 14 or 15 hours a day. Xiao Feng paid great attention to this and kept a strict schedule for Wang Shuxiu, urging her to go to bed at nine oâclock every night at the latest. When he said this, Lu Lingxi took a look at the time, which was already past eight and approaching nine, and immediately said, âMom, get some rest, Iâm going to find Big Brother Yan.â
When he finished speaking and was about to leave, Wang Shuxiu almost subconsciously called him to stop him. Lu Lingxi looked at Wang Shuxiu in confusion. Wang Shuxiu remembered Zhou Xiaomanâs words from last time and asked, âXiao Xi, what do you think if we change to a bigger house?â
Lu Lingxi blinked unexpectedly, âChange the house?â
Wang Shuxiu nodded; the reason was very good. âWeâre going to have another family member soon, and thereâs not enough room. I think we should move to your dadâs house first, and your uncle and his family will live here. We can change it later when we have a suitable house.â
Wang Shuxiuâs reason for moving was rational, but Lu Lingxi hesitated without answering. He didnât want to be separated from Yan Yue, but he couldnât find any reason to refuse.
Lu Lingxi didnât speak; his gaze wandered a little and Wang Shuxiuâs heart sank again. The absurd thought in her heart became clearer. Xiao Feng waited for a long time for Wang Shuxiu to go to the bedroom to sleep. When he came out, he noticed that neither mother nor son was talking, as if they were in conflict. He was a bit surprised, as Xiao Xi would never make Wang Shuxiu angry, so what was going on? He didnât hear anything from the bedroom either. Xiao Feng smiled and tried to smooth the situation, saying: âXiaohua is still not sleeping? Xiao Xi should go to bed early too, you still have to go to the shop tomorrow.â
As Xiao Feng said that, he winked at Lu Lingxi, who hesitantly looked at Wang Shuxiu and whispered, âGood night, Dad and Mom.â He turned around and went back to his room. Even if he was dumb, he noticed that the atmosphere just now wasnât right. Wang Shuxiu didnât seem too happy. Was it because he was unwilling to move?
Lu Lingxi closed the door to his room, and Xiao Feng coaxed Wang Shuxiu to go to the bedroom. âWhatâs wrong? Where did Xiao Xi make you angry?â Xiao Feng asked.
Wang Shuxiu didnât know what to say. She was only guessing and wasnât sure if it was what she thought it was.
Xiao Feng looked at her expression and spoke for Lu Lingxi, âXiao Xi has always been sensible. Take your time to tell him whatâs wrong, donât lose your temper in a hurry.â
Wang Shuxiu sighed and didnât say anything, pulled up the blanket and closed her eyes to prepare for sleep. Xiao Feng gave Wang Shuxiu a worried look, turned off the light and lay down beside her. âWhat do you think of Yan Yue?â Wang Shuxiu asked Xiao Feng after lying down for a long time, unable to sleep and turning over.
âWhy do you think of Yan Yue?â Wang Shuxiu had asked this question just a few days ago.
Wang Shuxiu sounded a little annoyed, âYou know Yan Yue has never had a girlfriend, is there something wrong with him?â
Xiao Fengâs heart moved and he guessed the reason for Wang Shuxiuâs abnormality. When he didnât say anything, Wang Shuxiu took it as him agreeing, and since she couldnât sleep anyway, she simply started talking. âYouâve noticed, havenât you, that Xiao Xi treats Yan Yue very differently? In the past, I was too busy with the restaurant and didnât care much. I thought Yan Yue was just about the same as Yi Hang to Xiao Xi. Xiao Xi used to have a good relationship with Yi Hang, but not as good as he has now with Yan Yue, day and night together, âBig Brother Yan thisâ and âBig Brother Yan thatâ every sentence. Yan Yue has never had a girlfriend, do you think theyâŚâ
Wang Shuxiu didnât say any more and just felt that her heart was blocked badly. It was because the little bastard was usually too obedient, and as a result, when she mentioned moving and the little bastard didnât say anything but showed obvious reluctance, it made her feel that there was a serious problem. Why was the little bastard reluctant to move? The only reason Wang Shuxiu could think of was Yan Yue. Her mind flashed back to the last time Yan Yue and Lu Lingxi had spent time together, and Wang Shuxiu felt even more gloomy.
Yan Yue moved next door to her house, Yan Yue didnât have a girlfriend, Yan Yue left his own business and got a small plant nursery with Lu Lingxi⌠These things that Wang Shuxiu had previously ignored were now all evidence in her eyes. Wang Shuxiu sat up violently, âNo, we must move.â
Xiao Feng was startled by her and hurried to turn on the lights. Wang Shuxiuâs face was ugly, âHow old is Xiao Xi, he doesnât understand anything, we canât let him and Yan Yue stay together.â
Xiao Feng smiled and felt a little sympathy for Yan Yue; but sympathy is sympathy, and the situation was Wang Shuxiuâs biggest worry. He couldnât let Wang Shuxiu suffer any stimulation, so he immediately took a stand and said, âIf Xiaohua thinks itâs inappropriate, weâll move.â
âMoving is not enough.â Wang Shuxiuâs face was sullen, âItâs not good for the two of them to stay together.â
She didnât know how far Lu Lingxi and Yan Yue had come, and she couldnât tell from their past dealings, except that they were a little too close. If the two had not yet pierced that layer of window paper, it was okay, but if they had⌠Wang Shuxiu was ready to be ruthless. The little bastard would only be nineteen this year, she couldnât let him go down this crooked path. She thought about Yan Yue finding the little bastard to cooperate in the first place, daring to deceive the little bastard who didnât understand anything. The more Wang Shuxiu thought about it, the more she couldnât sleep. She wanted to go to Yan Yue and demand an explanation from him immediately.
Xiao Feng saw that her face wasnât right, got up and poured her a glass of water, gently persuading: âXiaohua, donât think too much, I think itâs better for you to ask Xiao Xi about this matter. He is not a child anymore, we can guide him, but we canât decide for him. Besides, you just suspect it. It is not necessarily true, right?â
Wang Shuxiu took a sip of the water, calmed down a little and glared at Xiao Feng discontentedly, âThen if Xiao Xi really⌠canât I control him?â
Xiao Feng shook his head and said patiently, âYou should definitely manage, but you have to find the right way. Donât rush to say anything, first look for clues to see if itâs what you think.â
Xiao Feng made up his mind to pacify Wang Shuxiu first. She was pregnant and couldnât be stimulated. The best thing to do was to make this a minor issue and let Yan Yue put up with it until Wang Shuxiu had given birth.
While Wang Shuxiu and Xiao Feng talked about Lu Lingxi without sleeping, in his room Lu Lingxi couldnât sleep either, holding his mobile phone and chatting with Yan Yue. Originally, Lu Lingxi planned to go to Yan Yue, but seeing that Wang Shuxiu was in a bad mood, he stayed at home after some thinking.
Yan Yue waited for Lu Lingxi and thought something had happened at home, but when he asked, he found out that Wang Shuxiu was unhappy, seemingly because of the move. Yan Yueâs heart thudded. Although Wang Shuxiuâs reason was quite good: after the baby was born, there would not be enough place for the family; but Yan Yue vaguely felt that Wang Shuxiu might have found out something, otherwise she wouldnât be so upset because of this small matter.
âWhat else did your mom say?â Yan Yue asked.
Lu Lingxi thought carefully and felt that Wang Shuxiu hadnât said anything either. He had been the one talking about things, and it was only later when he was leaving that Wang Shuxiu talked about the move.
âNothing more, what I said before was all about the village.â
âBig Brother Yan, why donât I just say I agree to move the next time Mom asks about it?â
Lu Lingxi sent two text messages in a row, and Yan Yueâs eyes darkened when he saw the content of the second one. If Wang Shuxiu insisted on moving, according to Xiao Xiâs nature, he would definitely compromise in the end. Yan Yue endured everything for so long in order to be with Lu Lingxi, not to get farther and farther away from him.
Yan Yue lowered his eyes slightly and tapped on the table, looking somewhat thoughtful. It seemed that tomorrow he would have to find Xiao Feng to figure out what Wang Shuxiu really meant. If it was really what he thought, he might as well just confess. In any case, now that Wang Shuxiu had another child, she would pay less attention to Xiao Xi.
He thought about this matter while talking to Lu Lingxi for a few more minutes before urging him to go to bed early. Lu Lingxi dutifully agreed, but tossed and turned, unable to sleep. He was used to having Yan Yue and Dahei by his side, so it was a bit uncomfortable to have no one there at the moment, and it took him until midnight to drift off to sleep.
That night, the four people next to each other basically didnât sleep well. Early the next morning, Lu Lingxi was surprised to find that Wang Shuxiu had actually gotten up early.
âWhy didnât Mom sleep more? Is there something wrong?â Lu Lingxi asked nervously, rushing over.
âItâs nothing.â Wang Shuxiu shook her head. Lu Lingxiâs expression was so concerned that even though Wang Shuxiu was annoyed, she couldnât be angry with him.
Xiao Feng poked his head out of the kitchen, âXiao Xi, go and wash up, weâll be eating soon.â
âOh.â Lu Lingxi obediently agreed.
After eating breakfast, Lu Lingxi thought about going to find Yan Yue. Wang Shuxiu was unhappy when she heard Yan Yueâs name, glaring at Lu Lingxi and slapping the table, âYour dad is here, let your dad take you to the shop.â
Lu Lingxi was startled, and Xiao Feng looked at Wang Shuxiu helplessly and smiled.
