ologize" His clothes were wrinkled, but it didn't detract from his elegant demeanor.Ning Shu opened her mouth and squeezed the blanket: " ...I'm sorry."Looking at the young man with a hint of bewilder..."Brother Lin, thanks for your help." Xiaoyang entered the kitchen.

Ning Shu brought the dishes over and, thinking about what had happened a few days ago, couldn't help but ask, " ...Are they still looking for people"

Xiaoyang reacted, realizing he was talking about the group from a few days ago. He shook his head and said, "Those people came in a hurry and left in a hurry."

Ning Shu couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief, realizing that Li Yan might have just widened the scope of his search and didn't know he was here. However, she still felt uneasy inside.

More than a month passed in this way, peacefully and uneventfully.

Ning Shu's belly is now four months pregnant. Fortunately, the weather has begun to turn cold. He wears more clothes, and it doesn't make people too suspicious.

The young man's face was still handsome. Xiao Yang thought that it was a pity for such a good-looking person to be in such a small place, working in such a tiny kitchen.

Days are still passing by one after another, but her belly is getting bigger and bigger. Now, Ning Shu walks carefully on the road, afraid that others will see something amiss.

He sometimes felt overwhelmed, but thinking about the unborn life growing inside him filled him with endless hope.

The young person persisted in this manner, slowly but surely. Originally, their hands were fair and beautiful, but calluses began to appear.

"Kobayashi, please move all these things inside."

The kitchen work is always busy, with goods to be handled every day. Ning Shu bent down with some effort, putting everything away. After a while, his brow furrowed slightly.

Little Yang, who happened to be passing by, saw this and became a little nervous: "Brother Lin, what's wrong with you"

Ning Shu shook her head and continued with the work at hand.

Xiaoyang saw that his face was pale and he even had cold sweat on his forehead. He immediately felt uneasy and quickly put down the work in his hands and said, "Brother Lin, let me help you."

Lin Ge is a good person. Back then, he offended a customer. Xiao Yang thought he was going to lose his job, but in the end, Lin Ge helped him out of the predicament. From then on, Xiao Yang has always respected him from the bottom of his heart.

Ning Shudao: "I'm fine, you go ahead and busy yourself."

He just felt a slight pain in his stomach and couldn't help but gasp for air. His eyes were a little dazed, and his fingers clenched tightly.

Ning Shu clearly understood that when he reached eight or nine months of pregnancy, he would no longer be able to work. Therefore, he must now prepare for life after childbirth.

Xiao Yang ignored him and insisted on helping him finish the work together.

Ning Shu felt a pang of guilt and softly replied, "Thank you."

Xiao Yang scratched his head and said, "You're welcome." He followed her gaze and couldn't help but feel that Lin Ge's waist seemed to have gotten thicker. He couldn't help but steal a few more glances.

And when their gazes met, Ning Shu's face involuntarily changed slightly. She blocked the other person's gaze and then whispered, "Go about your business."

Xiao Yang looked at the young man's face with concern and said, "Lin Ge, you look very tired these past few months. Maybe you should go to the hospital after work."

Ning Shu casually agreed, how dare he go to the hospital now.

Even if he caught a cold and had a fever, he would only dare to go to the drugstore to have a look, let alone go to the hospital.

He didn't know if it was his imagination, but Ning Shu's stomachache was getting worse and worse. It grew worse and worse, he gritted his teeth and still insisted on finishing work. The young man returned to his residence with a pale face.

Facing him was his new neighbor, who had just moved in across the way.

Ning Shu greeted him.

The neighbor usually kept to himself, around thirty-five years old. At this moment, he glanced at him and said, "You don't look well."

He was startled, subconsciously tucking in his stomach and moving his lips as if to say something. But a sudden, violent pain shot through his abdomen, causing the young man’s body to slide downward.

Ning Shu's last glance was at his neighbor's startled eyes, then he held him up....

.....

Several years later.

A little ball of fur sat in its place, with an impassive expression on its face.

Ning Shu helped him dress, then touched his face and said softly, "Today when you go to Grandma Liu's, be obedient, okay"

Ning Shu walked out the door holding her son's hand. She happened to meet their neighbor, who had long known that a few years ago, Ning Shu suddenly brought a child back and claimed him as her own. The child's mother was said to have been divorced.

They both felt sorry for him, understanding that it was not easy being a single father.

Take good care of them when you have the chance.

"Xiaolin, take your son out for a while," Auntie Feng said with a smile.

Ning Shu glanced at the little milk dumpling and softly said, "Call Auntie Feng."

The child glanced at Aunt Feng. There was not much emotion on her pretty and delicate face, but she obediently called out.

Auntie Feng is always amazed when she sees him. Such a beautiful child, his mother must be very pretty. She couldn't help but glance at Ning Shu again, then said, "Xiao Lin, about that thing I told you last time, have you thought it over Why don't you meet the girl today The other party heard about your situation and doesn't mind."

The little dumpling who had been hugging Ning Shu lifted its face and looked at him.

Ning Shu paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "I don't have that plan for now. Let's talk about it when Xiao Che is older."

Auntie Feng wanted to say something more, but when she saw the pretty baby staring at her suddenly, she was momentarily stunned.

Ning Shu took this opportunity to turn and leave.

Xiaoche kept hugging his neck, her pretty little face expressionless. She didn't say anything until they were almost at Grandma Liu's house, when she suddenly said, "Are you going to find Mommy for me"

Ning Shu was slightly stunned, and looked over with a hint of oddness. She didn't understand why her son... would be so precocious.

Xiaoche didn't look at him, turned her face away, seeming a little unhappy: "Will you marry her"

Ning Shu touched his head and replied, "Daddy doesn't."

Xiao Che then willing to look at him, but did not speak again, and then hugged him tightly.

When Ning Shu arrived at her destination, Liu Heng happened to step out. He was dressed impeccably. But what made him stand out was his youthful appearance. No one would have guessed that he was almost forty years old.

Xiao Che saw him and politely called out, "Uncle Liu."

Liu Heng hummed in response, his face softening as he patted the boy's head.

Ning Shu blushed slightly and said, "Liu Ge, I'm sorry to trouble you again."

Liu Heng said, "My mother likes your son very much." As soon as the words were spoken, Old Lady Liu came out of the house. Seeing Xiao Che, she immediately smiled and came over to hug him.

"Say goodbye to your father," said Old Mrs. Liu.

Xiao Che glanced at Ning Shu, just staring at him for a long time without making a sound.

Ning Shu smiled and didn't say anything, just said: "Dad is going to work."

Xiao Che stared at him as he got into Liu Heng's car, then softly said, "Goodbye, Dad."

....

Ning Shudao: "Liu Ge, you can let me off at the next intersection."

Liu Heng said: "It doesn't matter, I happen to be on my way to take care of some business."

Ning Shu opened her mouth and said, "These years, I've troubled you."

A few years ago, the neighbor across from me, Liu Heng, just moved in. He happened to have a stomachache shortly after arriving. What's even more coincidental is that Liu Heng is also a doctor and runs a clinic in town.

The fact that men can get pregnant is undeniably shocking. Liu Heng was also greatly impacted, but in the end, he still helped Ning Shu keep it a secret. Not only that, he also helped Ning Shu a lot.

Ning Shu felt that if it weren't for Liu Heng, his life would probably be much harder.

Liu Heng stopped the car and said, "I'm going to buy something."

He found a parking space and then asked, "Can I help you carry anything"

Ning Shu shook her head.

The opposite mall was projecting a large screen, the star on it he recognized. It was the little boy that Li Yan brought back years ago. He watched for a while, just about to look away.

Then, a figure appeared on the big screen.

Ning Shu was startled.

The man at the press conference was dignified and elegant, his handsome face still strikingly masculine. However, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't conceal the coldness and aloofness surrounding him.

After several years, Ning Shu felt that Li Yan seemed to have changed.

He couldn't say what specific changes had occurred to the other person, but he felt that their eyes looked much more gloomy. The uncertainty in their brows and expression was even more pronounced than it had been several years ago.

Ning Shu saw those eyes looking directly at the camera. He couldn't help but feel a tightness in his chest, and he quickly averted his gaze, not daring to look again.

Liu Heng had already bought the things and returned. He closed the car door, thoughtfully following the young man's gaze, and said, "Do you know him"

Ning Shu pursed her lips and said, "I don't know."

Liu Heng wasn't a gossipy person, he didn't continue asking, instead, he sent Ning Shu to her work.

Years passed, and Ning Shu was still working at that restaurant.

He's now working at the front desk, and his life isn't as tight as it used to be. While he's still living a bit frugally, this kind of life is so much better for Ning Shu than before.

He dared not hope for more, only that Xiao Che could grow up safe and sound.

Ning Shu is taking orders from the guests at this restaurant in town. He speaks English, has a good education, and knows some other languages as well. For this small town and restaurant, he's already very outstanding.

His job title was only a notch below that of manager.

Ning Shu had just finished ordering her meal when she received a call from Liu Heng.

Liu Heng said on the phone, "...Xiao Che is in trouble."

....

Ning Shu rushed to the hospital, and Liu Heng just came out of the ward. He said to her, "The report hasn't come out yet... You...go in and have a look first."

He walked in, Xiao Che was lying on the bed, originally with his eyes closed.

As if sensing something, he opened his eyes and the moment he saw Ning Shu, he cried out, “Daddy.”

Ning Shu's nose felt a little sour, so she walked over and hugged him.u Yu's match. 。Ning Shusi thought about this and decided to make things clear, so he said, "Fu Yu, I've moved out of the school dorms. 。He took a deep breath, knowing there was no way around it. 。He...
