Mother Qin turned to look at Xiao Li. “She likes the baby.”
He Jie said to Xiao Li, “Little Li, since you like babies so much, quickly ask Ah Xiao for one.
No, both of you have been married for almost two months. You might even be pregnant now.”
Xiao Li blushed in embarrassment when she heard He Jie’s first sentence, but when she heard the second sentence, she was stunned.
Because she remembered that she and Qin Xiao had never taken any precautions all this time…
Xiao Li looked down at her stomach. Could I really be pregnant?!
On the other side, Qin Xiao also heard He Jie’s words. A trace of light flashed across his lowered eyes…
When she left the hospital, Xiao Li was still a little distracted. She wondered if she should go for a checkup to see if she was pregnant.
However, she had been with Qin Xiao for only half a month. Even if she was really pregnant, it would not be possible to test now!
Oh … ?
Careless!
What if I really am pregnant?
As Xiao Li was lost in her thoughts, she did not speak at all on the way back.
When they got home, Xiao Li took a shower and prepared to go to bed without a word.
Seeing this, the light in Qin Xiao’s eyes dimmed.
In the room, Xiao Li stood by the floor-to-ceiling window and looked out in a daze. When Qin Xiao came out of the shower and saw her standing there, he walked over and hugged her from behind…
“What are you thinking about?”
Qin Xiao’s low voice sounded in Xiao Li’s ears…
Xiao Li came back to her senses. “I am wondering if there really is a little life here.”
Qin Xiao asked in a low voice, “Then do you wish there is or not?”
Xiao Li rolled her eyes. “Is this something up to me to wish for?”
Qin Xiao chuckled. “No… I just want to know if you want a child?”
Xiao Li fell silent.
She didn’t know…
It was not that Xiao Li did not want children. She just felt that this was not the right time to have children.
She hadn’t even graduated from university yet. She would have to intern when she returned. What if she really got pregnant?
Xiao Li’s silence dampened Qin Xiao’s mood, and the light in his eyes darkened.
Qin Xiao knew how much he loved Xiao Li, but he was not sure if Xiao Li loved him.
Qin Xiao still remembered that the first time they met was at the Xiao family. That year was two months before his graduation from his Ph.D.program. Professor Wen Lan invited her students who were about to graduate to her house for a meal.
Qin Xiao was early and the others had yet to arrive. His professor asked him to visit the garden for a while. When he went there, he saw Xiao Li studying a small worm in the garden.
When he saw Xiao Li squatting among the flowers, Qin Xiao thought that she was looking at the flowers. When he approached, he saw that she was staring at a worm.
Curious, he spoke. “What are you staring at the worm for?”
Xiao Li looked up. The sunlight shone through the big tree behind Qin Xiao and landed on her face. Coupled with her dazzling smile, it made Qin Xiao lose his mind.
“I noticed its tail is broken. I want to see how long it can live.”
Qin Xiao quickly came back to his senses and smiled. “Why do you want to know this?”

Xiao Li said, “I want to know if it has strong vitality.
Who are you? Why are you in my house?
Wait a minute…
Mom said some of her students are coming today. So you’re my mom’s student?”
Qin Xiao nodded…
Xiao Li smiled and said, “In that case, I’ll call you Senior!”
After that, the two of them surrounded a worm to see when it would exhaust its vitality…
When Wen Lan’s other students arrived and came to the garden, Qin Xiao quickly got them to return to the living room so that they would not see Xiao Li and disturb her.
At that moment, Qin Xiao did not know why he did not want Xiao Li to be seen by others.
Later, when they were having a meal, Xiao Li’s friends called her out and she rushed back to her room to change and left.
Qin Xiao only had time to see her back. It was a pity that he could not eat with her face to face. On second thought, there were many people here that day, so it was good that Xiao Li did not eat with them.
When he returned to school, it seemed coincidental but Qin Xiao would often bump into his professor and Xiao Li when they were doing video calls.
Listening to Xiao Li’s coquettish voice on the other end of the phone, Qin Xiao’s heart melted.
Later, when Qin Xiao heard his professor call Xiao Li “Nini,” he called her by that name secretly. This was why Qin Xiao called Xiao Li “Nini” so naturally from the beginning.
Once she was etched in his heart, her image became more and more vivid.
After Qin Xiao graduated, he had thought of confessing to Xiao Li. However, Wen Lan sensed his feelings and stopped him.
“Qin Xiao, I know that you’re a good person and that you like my Nini.
Nini’s father and I approve of you. To tell you the truth, when I asked all of you to come over for dinner that day, I had the intention of letting you meet Nini.
Back then, I was the one who arranged for you to be the first to arrive. I specially kept your arrival time separate from your senior brothers’.
But I hope you won’t tell Nini now. I hope you’ll wait a few years for her to graduate before you express your feelings for her.
I’m not trying to interfere with the freedom of love of you young people. It is just that as a medical student, you know how demanding it is to study medicine. The job of a doctor requires real talent.
If you want to be responsible for your patients when you graduate as a doctor in the future, you will have to learn well in the next few years.
I’ll be honest with you, too. I didn’t want Nini to know, but I let the two of you meet first so that you would be attracted to her first. I actually had the selfish intention of testing you.
Nini is my only daughter, so of course I hope she meets the right partner.”
When Qin Xiao heard his professor’s words, he suppressed his feelings and thought of waiting five years for Xiao Li and confess his love after she graduated.
Afraid that he would not be able to resist looking for Xiao Li if he stayed in C City, Qin Xiao chose to teach at a university in B City as soon as he graduated.
But even so, he could not help but want to see Xiao Li. He often went to S City and waited at her school gate just to steal a look at her.
It would have been fine if everything had gone according to plan, but Wen Lan became ill.
At Wen Lan’s funeral, it was the second time Qin Xiao had greeted Xiao Li face-to-face. Previously, he had been peeking from the shadows.
That day, Xiao Li was overcome with grief. It was a stark contrast to the girl with a smile on her face when they first met.
Qin Xiao looked at the much thinner Xiao Li and wanted to hug and comfort her, but he couldn’t.

After the funeral, Qin Xiao knew that Xiao Li hid herself in S City and was unwilling to go home. He often returned to C City to visit Xiao Zhengnan and keep him company.
As the days passed, Qin Xiao waited for Xiao Li to graduate and then confess his love for her. In the end, something happened again.
Xiao Zhengnan was seriously ill, and their marriage was brought forward.
Then Qin Xiao saw how much Xiao Li had resisted this marriage and that Qin Xiao was like a stranger to her.
At that moment, Qin Xiao realized that Xiao Li had long forgotten who he was…
