Edinburgh has a very mild climate, with temperatures that are neither high nor low all year round. It won’t be too cold if you go out after dark.
The restaurant Shen Chi booked was not far from the hotel. The two of them walked there in five or six minutes. The waiter took the two of them to sit down, and it was Shen Chi who completed the ordering task.
After ordering the meal, Shen Chi chatted with Chang Jiu again, this time he was concerned about her physical condition, "How is your appetite? Do you still feel like vomiting?".c
After he asked, Chang Jiu also felt it carefully. She unexpectedly discovered that after she got off the boat, she didn't seem to be so sick anymore. Could it be that the morning sickness she suffered before was really due to floating on the sea?
Thinking of this, Changjiu shook his head.
Shen Chi also noticed this, "You didn't vomit after getting off the boat, right?"
Changjiu: "Yeah."
Shen Chi: "Then we won't go back."
Chang Jiu looked at Shen Chi's serious expression and suddenly remembered what he had mentioned before about returning to Jiangbei. She still couldn't believe that these words actually came from Shen Chi's mouth.
Chang Jiu: "Are you sure you want me to go back to Jiangbei?"
Shen Chi: "OK."
Changjiu: "Why?"
Shen Chi: "I told you, I want you to be happy."
He had repeated similar words many times in the past few days, but she never seemed to take it to heart and thought he was just saying it casually.
Chang Jiu's reaction this time was the same as before. She didn't answer his question, but just asked: "When can I go back?"
Shen Chi: "If you decide, I will buy the tickets."
Chang Jiu: "Then you buy it."
Chang Jiu has now accepted the fact of pregnancy, and she has thought about it more than once in the past few days, how Song Bowan and Liang Yin would react when they knew she was pregnant.
Song Bowang will definitely be angry. As for Liang Yin...
Thinking of Liang Yin, Changjiu felt so guilty that he could hardly breathe.
She had known him since she was very young. Over the years, Liang Yin had never done anything to regret her. On the contrary, she had let him down time and time again.
He had outstanding abilities and actually didn't need to be a door-to-door son-in-law and was ridiculed by everyone, but for her, he still chose to stay with the Song family and was criticized along the way.
Although Liang Yin had never complained, Chang Jiu knew that he was still a proud person at heart, and it was impossible not to mind these words. He was just trying his best to endure it just to be with her.
But she did something sorry for him in the end.
Chang Jiu thought that Liang Yin would probably accept this child and pretend that nothing had happened.
But she couldn't accept this result...
After thinking about this for a long time, my eyes suddenly became sore.
Shen Chi saw her sad look and asked, "What are you thinking about?"
Chang Jiu shook his head and did not answer him.
In fact, even if she didn't say anything, Shen Chi could guess what she was thinking.
After pondering for a moment, Shen Chi asked directly, "Would you like to call Song Bowan?"
Changjiu shook his head again and subconsciously refused.
Shen Chi: "Well, then wait until you want to fight."
Looking at her like this, she probably hasn't figured out how to talk to Song Bo yet.
At the same time, she knew very well that this matter would be known sooner or later.
Now that she was in the stage of self-pull, Shen Zhi did not push her or force her to make a choice.
Changjiu's appetite for dinner was not that good, not because of the pregnancy reaction, but because I was thinking about these things in my head, which made me feel a little stressed and tasted nothing.
After dinner, Shen Chi took Chang Jiu for a walk outside. She was distracted the whole time. When Shen Chi said a few words, she barely replied.
I kept thinking about these things before going to bed, and I often had a dream at night.
She dreamed that she returned to Jiangbei and appeared in front of Liang Yin with a pregnant belly. Liang Yin looked at her belly and asked her how the child came about.
After several struggles, she told Liang Yin the identity of the child, and then Liang Yin seemed to have suffered something.
As if stimulated, he laughed crazily, his shoulders were shaking, his eyes were scarlet, and his whole body exuded murderous intent.
It was something she had never seen before.
In the dream, she was so scared that she wanted to run away, but Liang Yin grabbed her and strangled her neck.
He asked again: "Am I not good to you? Why do you still think about him?"
She was choked so hard that she couldn't speak, and she just felt it was difficult to breathe.
This silence made Liang Yin even more angry. He asked again, "He hurt you like this and you still can't forget him. Are you a bitch?"
Every word was like a knife cutting into her heart.
The movements of his hands became larger and larger, and finally, she began to lack oxygen.
The dream ended abruptly here, and Changjiu woke up from the nightmare. He suddenly sat up from the bed, breathing heavily, and his forehead and back were covered with sweat.
It was still dark at this time, and Shen Zhi on the side was also awakened by Chang Jiu's movements. He got up and held Chang Jiu's shoulders, and saw her white lips.
"Are you having a nightmare?" After he asked, he held her in his arms and patted her back with his palms to comfort her, "Don't be afraid, Du Meng, I'm here."
Changjiu was still panting and had forgotten to break away from his arms. The content of the dream was still in her mind, and every scene was so clear and real.
After Shen Chi patted her shoulder and comforted her for a while, he tentatively asked, "Did you dream about the people from Jiangbei?"
Changjiu made a swallowing motion, and his muscles tensed up. This behavior was equivalent to acquiescence.
Shen Zhi: "You are under too much psychological pressure. Just relax. If the sky falls, I will hold it up."
Chang Jiu's mood was already unstable. After hearing Shen Zhi's words, he burst out, "It's just because of you that I'm like this!"
"Why do you come to me again? Liang Yin and I are about to get married, why can't you let me go?"
She almost yelled these two questions. By the end of the yell, not only was her voice hoarse, but tears also came to her eyes.
The pregnant woman was already emotionally unstable, and was stimulated by her dreams at night. Changjiu was almost irrational now.
The scolding was not enough, so she grabbed Shen Zhi's neck and gritted her teeth and said, "You should die!"
She pinched her very hard, and Shen Zhi's breathing was already a little difficult, but he did not avoid it. He stared at her closely with a pair of eyes, with various complex emotions intertwined in his eyes, making his eyes look particularly affectionate. heavy.
After being looked at by him like this for a long time, he suddenly felt like a deflated rubber ball, his hands hanging down helplessly.
Shen Zhi held her hand, rubbed his palm against her skin, and said softly, "No matter what happens after we go back, I will face it with you."
Chang Jiu simply couldn't listen to what he said, so we faced it together?
He said it nicely, but he had no idea how guilty she felt.
"My husband should be Liang Yin." Chang Jiu said, "We were going to get married, but you ruined everything."
As she spoke, her voice became more choked up, and she couldn't hold back the last word. Her expression was self-blame and pain.
Shen Chi told her bluntly: "You have done your best to him, so there is no need to blame yourself."
Chang Jiu looked at him sarcastically and asked, "Are you always so confident?"
