Walking with the Villain, Lou Xiao'e's Alternative Love

Summer, a hot and energetic season.

The sunlight was like golden silk, covering the entire city without any obstruction.

The ancient alleys and towering city walls are coated with a layer of dazzling golden glow.

In the afternoon, people in the alleys took refuge in the shade, some fanning themselves with large palm-leaf fans and enjoying the coolness under the shade of trees, while others holding a bowl of herbal tea and chatting with neighbors about family matters.

Occasionally, a gust of hot wind blows, carrying with it a smell of dust and sweat, but it also seems to be telling the passion and unruliness of this summer.

However, the good times did not last long. Dark clouds gradually gathered in the sky, as if someone had accidentally knocked over an ink bottle.

The thunder rumbled from far away, as if foreshadowing the coming of a heavy rain.

People began to get busy. Some hurriedly put away the clothes that were hung out to dry, while others quickly closed the doors and windows, fearing that the rain would wet the items in their homes.

Soon, raindrops as big as beans fell down with a crackling sound, hitting the bluestone slabs and splashing water.

The rain flowed down the eaves, forming crystal clear water curtains. The sound of rain and thunder intertwined to form a summer symphony.

The rain came quickly and went away quickly. Not long after, the sky cleared up again and the sun shone all over the earth again.

After the rain, the city looks fresher and more lively.

The leaves were washed green by the rain, and the flowers bloomed more brightly.

People went out of their homes to enjoy the coolness and comfort brought by the rain.

After the rain, the Xu family’s house turned into a unique “post-rain paradise”.

The water curtain formed by rain along the eaves was like a free water curtain movie in nature, except that it showed a funny scene of a naughty little dog trying to pass through the water curtain but getting drenched. This made Lou Xiao'e, who was standing behind the window, giggle.

Xu Damao hugged Lou Xiao'e from behind and gently turned her around. Their laughter intertwined, adding a bit of warmth and sweetness to the tranquility after the rain.

"Look, even the rain is reluctant to disturb our happy time." Xu Damao's Adam's apple slid unconsciously, as if he was performing a silent swallowing ritual, preparing for the upcoming "breathing battle."

And Lou Xiao'e's eyes suddenly widened larger than usual, not because she was nervous, but because her nose suddenly felt a little itchy!

"A-choo!" A sudden sneeze, like a cold arrow on the battlefield, instantly broke the romantic atmosphere that was about to solidify. Xu Damao was stunned, the corners of his mouth still maintained an arc that was about to touch, but his eyes were full of doubts, "Isn't this plot development wrong?"

Lou Xiao'e looked embarrassed and innocent, and waved her hands in the air, trying to catch the romantic atmosphere that had already flown away: "I didn't mean to do that."

"Da Mao, are you two at home? Hurry up, my wife is sick!" Sha Zhu's voice came from the courtyard outside the high wall, with unprecedented anxiety and uneasiness.

Lou Xiao'e and Xu Damao's eyes met instantly. Without saying anything, they could understand the eagerness in each other's eyes.

They stepped out of the door almost at the same time, their steps were hurried but in tacit understanding.

"What's wrong with Sister Xiujuan?" Lou Xiao'e asked as she ran, her voice full of worry.

Xu Damao followed closely behind.

The stone road was a little slippery after the rain, but the two of them didn't care about that and trotted out of their yard.

Sha Zhujia, his forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat, and his eyes were full of helplessness and pleading.

Seeing them coming, Sha Zhu seemed to see hope. He hurried forward and grabbed Xu Damao's arm, saying in a trembling voice: "Quick, come with me to the hospital. My wife suddenly fainted. I don't know what to do!"

Without any hesitation, Xu Damao and Lou Xiao'e immediately followed Sha Zhu and pushed Luo Xiujuan on a cart towards the staff hospital.

Luo Xiujuan was pale and conscious, but she still held Lou Xiaoe's hand tightly and said in a weak but firm voice: "I'm fine, maybe it's just too hot, I just need to rest for a while."

Lou Xiao'e was extremely anxious, but on the surface she tried to remain calm and gently comforted Luo Xiujuan: "We can't just hold on at home. The hospital is the safest place. Look, we're here, don't worry."

Arriving at the gate of the staff hospital, Sha Zhu almost jumped up and carefully picked up Luo Xiujuan from the cart. He rushed in while shouting loudly: "Doctor! Where is the doctor? My wife has fainted, come and have a look!"

This hospital is an affiliate of a steel rolling mill. Most of the medical staff are quite familiar with Sha Zhu. Seeing how anxious he was, they all quickened their pace and rushed over to help.

Outside the emergency room, Sha Zhu was extremely anxious. He clenched and unclenched his hands unconsciously, stared at the closed door of the emergency room, and leaned towards the door from time to time, asking anxiously: "How is my wife?" Lou Xiao'e and Xu Damao took turns to comfort him, but Sha Zhu's anxiety did not seem to be alleviated in the slightest.

Finally, the door of the emergency room slowly opened, and a young female doctor walked out with a smile on her face.

She immediately spotted Sha Zhu, who was waiting anxiously, and called out softly, "Is Luo Xiujuan's family here?"

Upon hearing the sound, Sha Zhu immediately rushed forward, almost instinctively grasped the female doctor's hand, and asked anxiously: "Doctor, what's wrong with my wife?"

The female doctor was slightly stunned, then she pulled back her hand awkwardly but politely, and said with a smile: "Congratulations, you are going to be a father! Luo Xiujuan fainted suddenly because she was weak in the early stages of pregnancy and suffered from heatstroke.

But don't worry, she's fine now."

Sha Zhu's expression froze instantly, as if time had stopped at this moment. There was disbelief in his eyes, and the corners of his mouth trembled slightly, but he couldn't utter a word for a long time.

He felt as if he was struck by lightning. He was shocked and happy. He stood there in a daze, as if he had turned into a living fool.

Upon seeing this, Lou Xiao'e hurried forward and expressed her gratitude to the doctor like a machine gun.

Xu Damao raised his hand and waved it gently in front of Sha Zhu's eyes, "What's wrong? Are you confused by the joy?"

Sha Zhu finally came back to his senses. He slapped his forehead and shouted, "Hahaha, Damao, you're going to be a father! Haha, no, that's not it. It's me who's going to be a father! I, Sha Zhu, am going to be a father."

At this moment, all the embarrassment, joy, and incoherence turned into his most sincere smile, infecting everyone present.

Luo Xiujuan stood at the door of the emergency room, watching this scene, trying hard to hold back a smile, but the tears in her eyes were sparkling with happiness.

"Look at you, you're so silly! Have you forgotten about Le's wife? How can you act like a father?"

When Sha Zhu heard this, the smile on his face froze instantly, and he turned his head sharply to look at Luo Xiujuan, "Hey, wife, why did you come out by yourself?

Luo Xiujuan glared at him. "If I don't come out on my own, am I waiting for you to invite me? You're dancing around here, how can you care about me?"

Sha Zhu slapped himself quickly and said, "Ouch, I'm too happy! Wife, you are heavy, why don't you rest in there for a while?" As he spoke, he took a few steps forward cautiously, trying to support Luo Xiujuan, his eyes full of guilt.

Luo Xiujuan gently slapped away his outstretched hand and said in pretended anger, "Alright, alright, stop acting here, everyone is watching.

Let’s go home quickly.”

When Sha Zhu heard this, he nodded quickly, and the smile on his face bloomed again. "Yes, yes, yes, walk slowly, I'll support you." As he spoke, he really took a step forward and gently took Luo Xiujuan's arm, then turned to Xu Damao and said, "Da Mao, push the cart to the door quickly, my wife can't walk too much now."

For Luo Xiujuan's sake, Xu Damao snorted and went to push the cart.

Lou Xiao'e and Luo Xiujuan looked at each other, with helplessness, blessings, and the expectation buried deep in Lou Xiao'e's heart.
