Li Chonglou returned to the Jiang family late at night, but found Jiang Yuxin still awake, sitting alone on the sofa.
"What's wrong?"
Li Chonglou thought Jiang Yuxin was unwell and hurried forward to ask. Jiang Yuxin shook her head and said, "It's nothing, I was just worried about you, so I couldn't sleep."
"What a silly girl. You can't do this anymore. You're not alone now." Li Chonglou was deeply moved. However, staying up late was indeed not good for pregnant women, so Li Chonglou immediately helped Jiang Yuxin up and sent her back to the room.
After lying down for less than two minutes, Jiang Yuxin fell into a deep sleep, which made Li Chonglou both touched and pained.
Li Chonglou gently stroked Jiang Yuxin's heart and murmured, "I really haven't spent enough time with you before. Let me make up for it properly during this period."
Li Chonglou already had a general plan regarding Shi Bokuang. He couldn't rush things at the moment, so Li Chonglou decided to take advantage of this free time to accompany Jiang Yuxin well.
"I need to go see Mom tomorrow, she still doesn't know." Li Chonglou made his plans, washed up briefly, and then lay back on the bed to rest.
As soon as he lay down, he was unconsciously embraced by Jiang Yuxin. Li Chonglou's heart warmed slightly. After stroking her a few times, he finally succumbed to sleepiness.
The next day at noon, after waking up, at Li Chonglou's suggestion, they went together to the residence of Li Chonglou's mother, Zheng Xiumei.
Upon learning of Jiang Yuxin's pregnancy, Zheng Xiumei was overjoyed. She personally went grocery shopping and prepared a sumptuous meal that they both enjoyed immensely.
Li Chonglou then realized that his mother's health had indeed recovered significantly. Now, even walking for a long time posed no major issues, though some slightly more strenuous exercises were still a bit difficult.
This was naturally a good thing. After the three of them happily finished their meal, Li Chonglou took Jiang Yuxin and left.
"Where are we going now?"
Jiang Yuxin had already handed over all company affairs to others and was now free. Li Chonglou replied with a smile, "We're going on a date, to go courting."
Jiang Yuxin chuckled, "We're practically an old married couple, and you still want to go courting!"
Although Jiang Yuxin said this, her face was beaming with a happy smile, and her bright eyes also held a flicker of anticipation. Li Chonglou took it all in but simply chuckled and didn't point it out.
Indeed, romance was suitable for any age.
It was still early, so Li Chonglou drove Jiang Yuxin to the cinema and bought two tickets for "All's Well, Ends Well" to revisit a classic.
Jiang Yuxin was also a fan of the movie star, so she was naturally delighted. After they sat down in the best seats, the cinema lights soon dimmed, and the full house of people silently awaited the classic's re-showing.
As the classic music gradually swelled, everyone was drawn into the atmosphere. The moment Stephen Chow appeared on screen, smiles lit up some faces.
When the plot reached the part where the couple eloped to the city to pursue their love and build a life, Jiang Yuxin, perhaps empathizing, silently squeezed Li Chonglou's hand.
When the story progressed to the couple arguing over trivial matters of daily life, Jiang Yuxin pouted her lips even more aggrievedly. Li Chonglou suddenly pulled her closer, leaned to her ear, and whispered, "Don't worry, this will never happen between us. I promise with my life."
At that moment, Li Chonglou's words meant more to Jiang Yuxin than countless sweet nothings. A warm current surged through her heart, and she softly responded.
Time passed quickly. In the blink of an eye, it was the end of the film. When the protagonists finally reunited and resolved their misunderstandings, many couples in the audience could not help but shed tears of joy. Jiang Yuxin was also deeply moved. Just then, Li Chonglou leaned closer again.
At this moment, without words, they kissed.
In an instant, the entire cinema was filled with a romantic atmosphere of happiness and joy, until the film ended and the main lights came on.
"Let's go too."
After ending their blissful long kiss, they left the cinema hand in hand.
On this day, they were like young couples of eighteen or nineteen years old, watching a movie together, then going shopping, and after dinner in the evening, they took a walk along Lover's Road together.
From beginning to end, Li Chonglou held Jiang Yuxin's hand tightly, as if afraid of losing her if he let go. Throughout the day, the smile on Jiang Yuxin's face rarely disappeared.
"I'm really happy today!"
By the river, Jiang Yuxin rested her head on Li Chonglou's shoulder and murmured sincerely. Li Chonglou kissed Jiang Yuxin's forehead and said, "I will make you happy like this every day from now on."
"Mm." Jiang Yuxin smiled and nodded. They couldn't help but want to kiss again.
However, at this moment, an untimely voice suddenly rang out.
"Jiang Yuxin?"
The sudden call interrupted their actions.
Li Chonglou turned his head and saw a man in a suit and tie looking at Jiang Yuxin with a look of pleasant surprise.
The man seemed to confirm something, then walked over quickly, "Jiang Yuxin, it really is you, long time no see!"
Li Chonglou looked at Jiang Yuxin in his arms with confusion. Jiang Yuxin frowned slightly but quickly regained her composure and introduced, "This is my university classmate, Liu Sanxing."
"Sanxing? Like the Samsung from Korea?"
Jiang Yuxin let out a chuckle.
Liu Sanxing only then noticed Li Chonglou. Seeing that Jiang Yuxin was being held, his expression flickered with emotions before settling into a calm.
Sensing the oddity, Jiang Yuxin gently patted Li Chonglou. It was Liu Sanxing who spoke first, smiling, "It's okay! Oh, right, I just returned from abroad yesterday. This place has changed so much, I barely recognize it!"
So? .oγg
Li Chonglou secretly took in Liu Sanxing's reaction and didn't expose it, waiting for his next move.
As expected, after speaking, Liu Sanxing quickly continued, "Yuxin, since you've been here, can you show me around and help me get familiar with it?"
Jiang Yuxin was taken aback, then looked at Li Chonglou, seemingly waiting for him to make the decision. Seeing this, Liu Sanxing suddenly spoke again, "But it's a bit late today, and I have an important client to meet. How about tomorrow instead?"
Jiang Yuxin was about to refuse upon hearing this, but she didn't expect Liu Sanxing to give her no chance. He glanced at his phone and hurriedly left, only saying.
"Then it's settled. I'll contact you tomorrow."
After saying that, Liu Sanxing waved his hand and left quickly, as if he indeed had something urgent to attend to.
After he left, Jiang Yuxin looked at Li Chonglou and explained, "He's my elementary school classmate. We had some interaction, and his family background is decent. He even helped me out a few times back then..."
