Time always passes quickly, very quickly... In the blink of an eye, Li Jia's due date has arrived.

One day, Li Jia was carrying garbage downstairs, but as soon as he reached the stairs, he felt a little uncomfortable in his stomach.

Xi Shen opened the door and saw Li Jia's condition. He quickly ran over to support Li Jia: "What's wrong with you? Are you okay?"

Li Jia tried to take a few deep breaths, then pushed Xi Shen away: "It's okay, go and do your thing."

"Li Jia..." Xi Shen was a little angry: "Can you please stop pushing me away? Even if you don't accept me, we are still friends, right? Seeing you like this, even if you are just a stranger, you can't be indifferent to a pregnant woman, right?"

"I'm really fine..."

Hearing this, Xi Shen felt helpless and distressed... Is this okay? After just a few moments, she was already sweating profusely from the pain.

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have been so mean to you." After Xi Shen realized that he was a little emotional, he immediately apologized to Li Jia: "I'll take you to the hospital first..."

But Li Jia refused again: "No, I can go by myself."

Perhaps realizing that he was too cold, Li Jia added: "I'm really fine, I'll be fine after a while. My nanny is out buying groceries, I'll ask her to take me to the hospital when she comes back."

Xi Shen sighed heavily: "Li Jia, why were we all fine before, but you have become more and more indifferent to me in the past few days?"

Xi Shen had a headache and became more and more confused... He had previously obtained the land from Yu Xiaohan to participate in the construction of Li Jia's hospital. Although she did not express a warm welcome to him like she did to Xiao Jue, she did not reject his participation and suggestions.

In the past few months, although they were getting along under the guise of work, they got along very well.

Many times, Xi Shen even thought that it would be nice to live like this for the rest of his life.

But ever since he moved his house opposite her a week ago, Li Jia started to reject him... Xi Shen was really puzzled.

"Did I do something to upset you?"

"No."

"Then what happened?"

Li Jia sighed, his beautiful face full of worry and entanglement: "Because I don't want to rely on you."

The best relationship is no relationship.

But habit is really a terrible thing. In just a few months, she seemed to have gotten used to Xi Shen's presence.

A few days ago, the bathroom light broke, and she subconsciously asked the nanny to ask Xi Shen to come and fix it.

When she realized this, Li Jia was shocked and panicked... because if it were in the past, she would definitely ask a professional lighting repairman to come and fix the light immediately.

But in the past few months, she, Xiao Jue, and Xi Shen have been together all day long because of the hospital construction.

Xiao Jue was in charge of the super professional part, while Xi Shen was like the logistics guy...Over time, she seemed to have gotten used to making demands on Xi Shen and asking him to solve problems.

What's more, Xi Shen was the only man who had ever made her heart beat, and was the only man in her life.

This can't go on any longer...

After hearing this, Xi Shen didn’t know whether to cry or laugh.

"Li Jia, loving someone is not a sin, and relying on someone is not wrong..."

Xi Shen gently took Li Jia's hand and said slowly: "I know you are used to being alone."

"I also know that you can live very well on your own."

"To be honest, I'm used to being alone. I just like to stay in my own world."

"You know..." Xi Shen talked about the past, his eyes still a little dim: "I have been in poor health since I was a child. Whether it is adults or children, they always look at me with tinted glasses."

"Some look down on me, some mock, some sigh, and some pity me... but no matter which one it is, I don't like it."

"Over time, in order to avoid these things... I hid myself..."

"Before I met you, and before I asked you to be my personal physician, I had many, many doctors. But no matter what, they could not get close to me, let alone become my friend."

"But you are different. When I am with you, I feel more relaxed and comfortable than ever before..." As Xi Shen spoke, a gentle smile appeared in his usually deep eyes.

"You always say that you're not an easy person to get along with...but really, I only feel comfortable when I'm with you."

"This is something that even my mom, dad, and Yi Yi couldn't give me since I was little... They are the people I love the most, so I'm always afraid of making them worry and sad, and I always pretend to be myself."

"Pretending is really tiring... so I am really tired!"

"But it's strange. Ever since you showed up, in front of you, even if you're terribly cold, even if you don't say a word... I just feel inexplicably safe and comfortable."

"Before, when you pushed me to the lawn to bask in the sun, I always talked to you a lot..."

He talked about everything, as if he had suddenly opened his mouth, and Li Jia was listening to him right behind him.

He thought she didn't listen, but she would always reply to him from time to time... Only then did he realize that she had been listening carefully.

That feeling is really wonderful... comfortable, at peace, and with a hint of calm and happiness.

"Li Jia..." Xi Shen looked at Li Jia sincerely: "Don't run away from me, okay? Give me a chance, let's try it, okay?"

Without waiting for Li Jia to answer, Xi Shen continued, "If, during this process... you feel uncomfortable or tired, you can stop immediately, and I promise not to bother you any more."

Li Jia was silent for a long time, and Xi Shen did not force her.

After a long while, Li Jia touched her belly and said, "But I already have a baby, and the father of this baby is not you."

Xi Shen laughed softly: "It's not like I just knew it on the first day."

Li Jia said: "I don't believe that a man can be so generous..."

"My baby is my baby. I will not allow her to suffer any injustice." Li Jia turned around and was about to leave.

"I understand what you mean..." Xi Shen quickly grabbed Li Jia and said, "But your baby is to me just like you don't care who the father of this baby is, I don't care who her father is either."

"You once said that he was just a tool."

"I only regard him as a tool."

"But to be honest, I don't have any feelings for your baby... The reason I accepted her is simply because she is your baby."

"If she has nothing to do with you, I won't even look at her."

Xi Shen touched Li Jia's belly and was suddenly startled, because the baby in Li Jia's belly seemed to suddenly kick him hard... She seemed to be protesting against what he had just said.
