Following Crime (NSITNL Volume 2) ✔️

Chapter 27 Vol. 2

    When Zhou Shuo returned to the living room with a bowl of sober tea, he saw Xia Liang lying on the sofa, staring at the ceiling in a daze.

    Had it not been for the starlight dotted in Xia Liang's eyes in the dim night, he would almost think that Xia Liang had fallen asleep.

    Xia Liang, who was so blank and silent, made him feel a little strange.

    He lightly walked to Xia Liang's side, put the soup bowl on the coffee table, then half-kneeled, and approached Xia Liang's ear and asked in a low voice, "Brother Liang, drink water?"

    After a while, Xia Liang was surprised. After returning to his senses, he rolled his eyes and looked at Zhou Shuo sideways, looking at him unclearly.

    Zhou Shuo was a little hairy, but considering that Xia Liang was very drunk at the moment, he suppressed his doubts and asked in a low voice, "Brother Liang, drink water?"

    Xia Liang still did not answer him. Slowly sitting up on the sofa, looking down and thinking for a long time, suddenly said: "Is there any way to remove the fetus without knowing it?"

    "What?" Zhou Shuo didn't understand for a while.

    "I mean," Xia Liang patiently organized a sentence, "If I really have a baby, is there any way...I can remove the baby without disturbing anyone?"

    Zhou Shuo struggled. After digesting for a while, he really realized what Xia Liang was talking about. Then he moved his gaze down and fixed on Xia Liang's abdomen, and said in surprise: "Brother Liang, you... are you pregnant?"

    "What are you looking at?" Xia Liang suddenly became angry, and suddenly raised his hand to open Zhou Shuo's head, as if the other person took a look at his stomach, which was a great shame to him.

    Immediately he wanted to cover it up again: "I mean, if, suppose, in case,

    don't you understand?" Zhou Shuo didn't argue with him about this issue.

    He knew that with Xia Liang's extremely pragmatic style, he would never waste his words on some vague assumptions.

    Thinking back to Xia Liang's sudden weakening of alcohol and his endless vomiting... Zhou Shuo became more confident in his heart that Xia Liang might really be pregnant.

    At this moment, a hint of inexplicable joy sprang up from the bottom of his heart, like a soft little hand, gently scratching the tip of his heart, a little itchy, itching made him unable to help his mouth rise, but he died. Strained and afraid to let Xia Liang see it.

    He had never thought that one day he and Xia Liang would have a child together, one by one more than a month ago. This is completely a fantasy in his cognition.

    However, today, this little life suddenly broke into the lives of him and Xia Liang without warning, making him a little caught off guard, but he wanted to cry happily in his heart.

    He has no father and no mother since he was a child. From the time he remembered, there was no one around him that could be called a "relative".

    Even though he was later adopted by the Xia family, and even though Xia Liang repeatedly emphasized treating him as a younger brother, Zhou Shuo still couldn't really appreciate the feelings of his relatives.

    Until this moment, when he knew that Xia Liang might be pregnant with his child, he suddenly realized the feeling of kinship without a teacher, as if there was a tentacle from blood ties, silently. But it penetrated his body with incomparable tenacity, and blocked his internal organs and various meridians.

    He couldn't bear it any more, and he lifted the back of his hand and wiped the corner of his hot eye.

    Xia Liang looked at him with a strange expression: "What shall I ask you, why are you crying so hard?"

    "No, I didn't cry," Zhou Shuo lied a little embarrassedly, "It's... the eyes suddenly feel a little uncomfortable."

    Xia Liang didn't care, continuing the topic just now, muttering to herself: "Of course, Du Lan Ze’s words can’t be fully believed. You have to confirm whether you’re really pregnant before thinking about the next countermeasures.”

    Zhou Shuoping recovered his excitement and looked up at Xia Liang’s calm and almost cold side face, the happiness in his heart. The feeling gradually faded.

    He was soberly aware that the little life that was an unexpected joy for him, for Xia Liang, was a burden that he wanted to get rid of as soon as possible. Except for myself, I am afraid that no one will welcome its arrival.

    He pursed his lips and did not speak, but he lowered his eyes and looked sadly at Xia Liang's lower abdomen, reluctantly looking at the little life who was about to be forcibly sent away not long after he arrived.

    Xia Liang saw that Zhou Shuo, a boring gourd, did not intend to participate in the discussion at all, and did not expect him to be of any help at the critical moment, so he simply took out his mobile phone and went to Baidu on the Internet.

    But the numbness after drunk tormented his retina, Xia Liang squinted uncomfortably, staring at the screen and searching for a few minutes, and then almost arrogantly threw the phone on the sofa.

    "Tomorrow you go buy some pregnancy test paper for me." He ordered Zhou Shuo, and then murmured to himself, "But I don’t know if something like pregnancy test paper is useful for people with ABO physique. . Or simply, you can go to the hospital to dispense some fetal injections. If the doctor is not worthy to give you, you can ask Song Yan for help. He should have channels locally.” The

    reason why he asked Zhou Shuo to do these things was because of the last time. The fact that he went out alone to buy contraceptives was not a pleasant memory, and he didn't want to experience a similar embarrassing experience a second time.

    Zhou Shuo slowly retracted his gaze fixed on his lower abdomen, raised his eyes and looked at him, not knowing how much he had heard just now.

    Xia Liang thought he didn't understand, and said, "You need to buy a good quality paper for pregnancy trial, and buy a few more." After thinking about it, he was

    still not at ease with Zhou Shuo's old solid wood character, and added: " If someone is too gossip and asks who you bought it for, you just say it is for your girlfriend."
