Chapter 662: Do you like me?
With Gu Youli in her life, Song Qinghuan’s day’s seemed a lot happier and more smiles blossomed on her face.
Every spare moment she had, she would go out with Gu Youli to buy things for the baby. The room prepared for the baby was so packed that it couldn’t fit anything more.
One day, while Gu Youli was out meeting a friend, and Song Qinghuan was left wondering what to have for lunch, she received a call from Si Jianan.
He invited her again for lunch.
Considering that she would be bored alone at home, she accepted Si Jianan’s invitation and joined him for lunch.
For the last few days, Song Qinghuan’s appetite had been excellent. She could eat quite a lot.
Watching Song Qinghuan eat with relish, a smile graced Si Jianan’s face. He had unbuttoned the top two buttons of his shirt, leaning back in a relaxed manner while his hand also rested on his propped-up leg, tapping out a silent rhythm.
Such a lazy and comfortable posture reminded Song Qinghuan of that easy-to-blush youth from deep within her memories.
After wiping her mouth, a gentle smile curled up at the corners of her lips. Her gaze softened into a crescent as she looked at Si Jianan.
Si Jianan raised an eyebrow and asked her, “Why are you suddenly smiling at me? Is there something on my face?”
After saying that, he instinctively raised his hand and wiped his face.
Laughing, Song Qinghuan said, “No, no, there’s nothing on your face. I was just reminded of how you used to be. You used to blush at the drop of a hat, remember how you would turn red if people talked to you?”
Si Jianan laughed awkwardly, clearly feeling a little embarrassed.
He waved his hand and murmured, “Please, don’t tease me about that. I was annoying as a kid….”
Interrupting him, Song Qinghuan said, “Si Xiangbei, don’t think that way. We were all young back then, no one truly found you annoying. Many of our classmates actually liked you because you were good at studying. The thing is, you were too quiet and didn’t interact with anyone, that’s why people didn’t approach you.”
“What about you? Did you like me?” Si Jianan suddenly asked, it seemed he wanted to give a deep meaning to his question.
Caught off guard, Song Qinghuan hesitated for a moment, and then laughed brightly, “Of course, otherwise how could we have ended up as desk mates? We are friends, friends for life.”
Friends for life. Those words made Si Jianan’s heart feel inexplicably suffocated.
What he wanted, was more than just friendship.
However, his face still bore an amiable smile, “Song Qinghuan, I have seen you several times, but today you finally laughed. I mean a real laugh, a laugh that comes from the heart.”
Upon hearing this, Song Qinghuan’s smile became even more charming, “Hmm, these past few days, a friend of mine came from Kyoto and we have been having meals, shopping and watching movies together. It’s been quite fun.”
“Isn’t there a part for me in this?” Si Jianan teased, unwilling to be completely ignored, “I invited you for a meal today, didn’t that make you happy too?”
“Of course, you are part of it too. I am happy to see you, thank you!” Song Qinghuan said, caressing her belly, “Our baby too, we had a check-up and the baby is healthy, which makes me really happy.”
Having said this, she lowered her gaze to her belly and gently stroked it. And then, Shi Yuhuan’s face appeared in her mind.
Although the doctor refused to disclose the baby’s gender to her, she felt that the baby would look just like Shi Yuhuan.
Because she was always thinking about Shi Yuhuan, wasn’t it said that the baby will look like the one the mother often thinks about? Then, would the baby be a boy?
Si Jianan watched her face radiating love, a maternal glow emanating from her. His gaze softened like water as he said, “Qinghuan…”
