No? Can I read the mind of my mortal enemy?

Shi Qiao never thought that footsteps could be scarier than the game PUBG Mobile.

Except for now.

Knock, knock, knock—the knocking on the door was loud.

"Xiaoqiao, are you in your room?"

It was Aunt Lin's voice.

My heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally gave way to despair.

In that instant, she even conceived the idea of ​​having Pei Jingnian tie the bedsheets into a rope and jump out of the window.

It's like a real-life Romeo and Juliet story unfolding.

At that time, Pei Jingnian fell and fractured one of his arms. If he had fallen from the height of her room, his arm would have been shattered.

Shi Qiao hurriedly grabbed a handful of clothes from the floor and shoved them at Pei Jingnian, "Go, hurry up and go to the toilet!"

"You are not allowed to make a sound without my permission!"

No matter what, I should at least hand the train tickets to my two elderly mothers first. Who can withstand being on the highway right away?!

She hurriedly put on a thick turtleneck sweater, tidied her appearance, and yawned twice before opening the door.

"Aunt Lin," Shi Qiao said, rubbing her eyes, "Why are you back so early? I thought you wouldn't be back until tomorrow."

Lin Ya Hui stammered:

"Small and delicate! I, I..."

Lin Ya Hui's face turned red, and her eyes were red-rimmed. Bai Shu Wen wasn't much better off.

Shi Qiao was determined to go all out.

There's no time like the present!

"Aunt Lin, Mom, please wait here for a moment, I have something I'd like to give you..."

The toilet door was opened, and Pei Jingnian, having changed his clothes, stood directly behind Shi Qiao without any attempt to conceal himself.

He stood behind Shi Qiao, reached out and wrapped his arms around her neck, pulling her into his embrace.

"We've been together for over two months. I pursued her; I tricked and coaxed her into it."

Lin Ya Hui and Bai Shu Wen trembled even more violently.

Shi Qiao was so nervous she wanted to run away with her head in her hands. She glared fiercely at Pei Jingnian and questioned him about why he came out at this time!

Pei Jingnian tilted his head.

I should have taken responsibility in the first place.

"It's been two months already." Lin Ya Hui staggered two steps and backed away.

Bai Shuwen caught Lin Yahui. "I... I need to prepare myself mentally. I'll leave this to you, Aya."

Lin Ya Hui nodded.

Immediately afterwards, the three fell into a deathly silence.

Shi Qiao simply closed her eyes.

Alright, let's just wait for the storm to come.

"Pei Jingnian, you bastard, how did I raise you?"

Look, it's coming.

The next second, both hands were placed on Shi Qiao's stomach.

"Did you waste all the time I showed you stories of your youth? Why didn't you use a condom?"

She bent slightly, pressing her hand against Shi Qiao's lower abdomen. "It's been two months. Have you been to the hospital yet?"

"How serious is the reaction? You're so thin and petite."

"We'll take care of it, let's get married right now! Come on! Let's go look at wedding dresses!"

"Oh wait, I'm not of marriageable age yet..."

"Pei Jingnian, you're a complete bastard!"

Lin Ya-hui grasped Shi Qiao's hands in both, "It's okay, Xiao Qiao. You used to be my nominal daughter, but from now on you're my legal daughter!"

"Once you reach marriageable age, you and Pei Jingnian will go get your marriage certificate!"

Meanwhile, Bai Shuwen had just dialed the phone.

"Oh my, Auntie, yes, it's been two months! I'm going to be a super senior in the family! Yeah, yeah, I feel like I'm a granddaughter, hahaha!"

Shi Qiao/Pei Jingnian: ?

Just in time to cut off the call before Bai Shuwen could notify the entire family, Shi Qiao rushed up and hung up.

"We've been together for two months! Two months!"

Bai Shuwen was visibly disappointed. "Oh, is that so?"

"Then the baby products I just ordered..."

"Refund it right now!" Shi Qiao was so embarrassed her ears could bleed.

Lin Ya-hui supported Shi Qiao's body, "Are you sure there are no signs?"

Shi Qiao was also a little confused, "She wears it every time..."

She covered her mouth.

Wait, why did it self-destruct again!

Lin Ya-hui twirled gracefully, merging with Bai Shu-wen into one, the two dancing a waltz of love.

"Ah Wen! My son isn't gay!"

"Aya! My daughter isn't blind!"

The two sang loudly, "It's all real! Not a dream!"

"The progress is so fast!"

"We're finally in-laws!"

Shi Qiao felt that evil spirits were attached to her two mothers, so she reached out and grabbed a handful of virtual salt and sprinkled it on them.

It's strange, when I tried to talk to them about it, they all acted as if they were about to hear something unlucky, trying to avoid it at all costs.

Why has your attitude changed so drastically now?

And what do you mean, gay? What do you mean, blind?

Pei Jingnian wrapped his arms around her from behind, leaning down and gently resting his chin on Shi Qiao's shoulder.

Following her example, I grabbed a handful of virtual salt and sprinkled it on the table twice.

*

About ten minutes later, the two elderly mothers calmed down and called the two elderly fathers, who were about to go fishing, to an emergency family meeting in the living room.

A chaotic mess.

Shi Qiao finally understood that she had been sent to Lin Ya Hui's house to be raised when she was very young because Bai Shu Wen lost a game of rock-paper-scissors and she was "forced" to be sent to Lin Ya Hui's house as a "child bride".

If Bai Shuwen had used the scissors even once more, Pei Jingnian would have become the "childhood sweetheart".

Pei Jingnian was speechless when he heard Lin Yahui's vivid description of him and Lu Zhou.

Shi Qiao couldn't help but turn her head and secretly laugh.

However, before she could finish laughing, Bai Shuwen started mentioning that she thought she was going to be with Xia Heng, which scared her to death.

Pei Jingnian felt increasingly uneasy as he listened, and squinted at Shi Qiao.

"Honey, tell Su Yurou that Xia Heng is your boyfriend?"

Shi Qiao swallowed hard, her smile freezing on her face instantly.

She obediently placed her hands on her knees, not looking at the side of the road at all.

It's okay, we only settled half the accounts last night, we can continue tonight.

Shi Qiao's pupils trembled.

Yesterday, we only settled half the accounts?

She quickly changed the subject, "Yes, by the way, Mom, Aunt Lin, did you have a good time in Europe?"

"Oh, I have to thank myself for accepting that invitation."

"Perhaps this is a case of 'planting willows unintentionally and they grow into lush trees'."

Before Shi Qiao could understand what was going on, the doorbell rang. When she opened the door, two workers carried in an object larger than a 100-inch television.

It was wrapped tightly in kraft paper, and I had no idea what it was.

"Ms. Lin, this is your international express delivery. Please sign for it."

Lin Ya-hui stood up. "Speak of the devil, and he appears."

She leaned proudly against the large object, while Bai Shuwen hopped to the other side.

As soon as the movers left, the two of them tore off the brown paper at the same time.

"Ta-da! Look!"

Shi Qiao remained silent.

Underneath the kraft paper were the photos that the four adorable girls had said they would take to participate in a charity auction!

Where in the world can you find so many spectators?

wrong.

The world is a stage for spectators.

Bai Shuwen recounted her thought process, "When we saw this photo, we made a decisive decision: after attending the auction, we rushed to Beijing overnight."

"Not only that," Lin Ya-hui said, taking out another stack of envelopes from her bag.

When you open it up, you'll find it's full of photos of Pei Jingnian and Shi Qiao together.

She flipped through the photos one by one, thoroughly enjoying them. "How come those four girls are so good at taking pictures?"

The two walked over to their father as they talked, and the four of them stood together in harmony, like a picture of a happy reunion.

Shi Qiao felt weak all over. "It turns out I was just overthinking it..."

"And yet I was so nervous back then."

Pei Jingnian leaned on Shi Qiao, "So, the red thread tied by the Old Man of the Moon was not wrong."

Shi Qiao blinked and turned her head to look at Pei Jingnian.

So it seems that's true.

The destined one.

"Should we... go to the Wanhong Temple to fulfill our vow?"

"We can't be ungrateful."

She glanced at the weather forecast. "How about we go tomorrow?"

Pei Jingnian suddenly froze, avoiding Shi Qiao's intense gaze.

"How about... or we wait until the day after tomorrow?"

Shi Qiao tilted her head, her gaze fixed on Pei Jingnian's unnatural evasiveness and his quietly reddening ears.

There is a ghost.

"No, tomorrow."
