Lin Mu on the other side froze after he he heard Song Zhi Xu’s words, and it took a while before he asked again with some disbelief, 

“Zhi, Zhi Xu, what did you just say?”

Song Zhi Xu suddenly realized that this seemed a bit too direct, but he was indeed still a bit excited right now, so he didn’t know how to say it tactfully or indirectly, so he could only repeat it again. 

“I said, Ran Ran, he’s pregnant, and we just found out about the baby today.”

Lin Mu was silent for a long time, and just when Song Zhi Xu was thinking about whether to take the initiative to ask him again, the other party directly hung up the phone. Song Zhi Xu called him again, however, Lin Mu didn’t pick it up again.

Song Zhi Xu frowned and somewhat confused, was Lin Mu angry? But Lin Mu was not that kind of irrational person, so he had some confusion as to why he acted like this.

While he was thinking about it, there were two light knocks on the door behind him, and when Song Zhi Xu turned his head, he saw Mu Qingting standing outside the door, waving his hands at him. Song Zhi Xu could only put his phone in his pocket first before he walked over to open the door. 

When he opened the door, he saw that there was not only Mu Qingting outside, but also Xiao Nanyu who had followed him not far away. Xiao Nanyu nodded slightly at Song Zhi Xu and glanced into the ward, obviously he already knew about Lin Ran’s pregnancy.

“You’ve been in the ward and haven’t gone out, right? You and Ran Ran’s lunch, I have bought and sent it over for you.” Mu Qingting stretched out his hands, handed over the lunch he was carrying, then gave him the paper bag in his hand as well, “And this, I thought you’d want to see it.”

Song Zhi Xu was dumbfounded, turned to take the photo and stared at it for a long time, not moving his eyes. After a while, he handed the lunch back to Mu Qingting

In indifferent voice, he said,

“You guys come in and take a look at Ran Ran for me, I’m going out for a while.” Song Zhi Xu went back to the ward and got his coat.

Before Mu Qingting had the chance to speak, Song Zhi Xu already took quick steps and left.

Song Zhi Xu walked out from the entrance in one go, found a corner in the hospital garden, his hand was a bit shaky as he took out a cigarette from his pocket, lit it, put it on his mouth and took a big deep puff as thee white smoke circulated in his lungs and came out of his nose.

He took two in a row before Song Zhi Xu finally calmed down and looked carefully at the ultrasound photo in his hand again.

When he first knew that Lin Ran was pregnant, he didn’t have any real sense or feeling about it. He even thought that it was just a dream and that everything would be gone after he woke up, so he was able to maintain his composure on the surface.

But it was only when he saw the photo with his own eyes that he felt a sense of reality without any flights of fancy, that it was his child in this photo, that his child with Lin Ran was in the process of slowly growing up in Lin Ran’s belly.

Song Zhi Xu looked at it for a while, lit another cigarette and quietly smoked it before he rolled it and extinguished it, only after that, he threw it in the trash.

He knew that Lin Ran did not like the smell of smoke, so he stood downstairs and waited until the smell of smoke had almost dissipated before he came upstairs.

Not knowing when Lin Ran had woken up, he sat on the bed and looked timidly at the unfamiliar ward as well as the two people in it. It was only when Song Zhi Xu pushed open the door and entered that Lin Ran’s eyes lit up; he subconsciously tried to get out of bed.

“Ran Ran, don’t move, I am coming over.” Song Zhi Xu hurriedly stopped him, quickly walked to the bedside and took Lin Ran into his arms, gently stroking his back.

Lin Ran buried his cheek in Song Zhi Xu’s embrace and sniffed lightly twice before raising his head again; frowning at Song Zhi Xu and said in a low voice, “Song Zhi Xu smells something, Ran Ran doesn’t like it.”

Mu Qingting had been not far from the bed, and as soon as Song Zhi Xu came over he smelt the smell of smoke on Song Zhi Xu’s body. He frowned, “Old Song, what’s wrong with you? Don’t you know what’s going on with Ran Ran? Why are you still smoking?”

Song Zhi Xu didn’t explain, he just hugged Lin Ran and said, “Sorry, it won’t happen again.”

In fact, he didn’t smoke much anymore, this time he was really too excited. Lin Ran heard Mu Qingting’s words, poked his head out of Song Zhi Xu’s embrace and asked with some curiosity,

“What’s with ‘Ran Ran’ condition?”

Mu Qingting froze and looked at Song Zhi Xu. It seemed like Song Zhi Xu hadn’t said anything yet.

Song Zhi Xu coughed lightly and touched the top of Lin Ran’s hair. “Ran Ran, you must be hungry, it’s time to eat.”

As soon as Lin Ran heard something about food, he forgot all about his problems and nodded obediently, waiting for Song Zhi Xu’s food.

Song Zhi Xu opened the lunch that Mu Qingting had brought while saying, “Qingting, can I trouble you to go to the villa and get some clothes for me and Ran Ran? I want to stay here with him for a few days,so in passing, when you are on your way back here, please buy some ingredients too. I’ll stay with him in the suite above at night.” Song Zhi Xu was actually reluctant to give Lin Ran too much food bought from outside plus now that Lin Ran was pregnant, Song Zhi Xu naturally wanted to cook for him with his own hands.

“Fine.” Mu Qingting agreed without hesitation since it was just in time that he was taking a break at noon, but stopped after two steps and returned to Song Zhi Xu’s side, “That…give me your car keys and also money. I don’t have money to buy it for you. All of my money was taken away by Xiao Nanyu and even my salary was sent to Xiao Nanyu’s card, so I am now a poor wretch one.”

Struggling for years, back to before liberation in one night, Mu Qingting regretted to death having that one drink with Song Zhi Xu.
