I also want to feel at ease, but at this moment, my legs are so weak that I can't stand up at all.
Mina heard Su Qian's words and glanced over at him, but still helped me up from the sofa, saying, "It's okay, we are here with you."
Xiao Minxing was the first to leave, striding towards the lobby on the first floor of the KTV.
By the time we caught up, he was already seated in a corner chair, his eyelids lowered and not looking at me.
After Mina brought me here, she sat down with Su Qian a few seats away from us, where they could clearly see everything I did with Xiao Minxing.
Suddenly, Xiao Minxing smiled.
It was a particularly bleak smile, with the corners of his mouth turned up and his eyebrows bent, yet it revealed no trace of happiness; instead, it gave off a sense of wanting to cry.
His gaze lingered on my face, devoid of past rage or even a hint of warmth; it was cold and silent, like a pool of dead ice water.
I dared not look at him and kept my head bowed low.
"Do you think those two can stop me?" Xiao Minxing asked.
My body involuntarily trembled, and I hurriedly raised my face, only to find that his gaze had changed at some point—like a sharp knife piercing right into my heart.
His voice was cold as he said, "I only want to ask one thing: is the child mine?"
In an instant, my mind was in chaos, a thousand thoughts rushing in, and I didn't know which one to use to respond to him.
If I say it’s his? Then without thinking, I would definitely have to go with him next. As for what would happen when I got home, the lessons from the past were already clear.
If I say it’s not his, would he ask whose it is? If he does ask, how would I respond?
I haven't reached a conclusion regarding the matter with Su Qian, and it's only been two days since Yi Heng came to see me. I haven't agreed to talk to him, so why did he come on his own?
Xiao Minxing has grown impatient, reaching out to grab my hand: "Speak."
At this moment, the fear in my heart outweighs everything else.
"No."
His expression loosened, and he stared at me blankly for a few seconds before suddenly lowering his head, like a defeated hero.
My heart sank along with his. The words of regret almost slipped out but were forcefully suppressed.
For him, for me, for our child, I couldn't think of a better way; it had to be this way.
He sat in silence for a long time, not speaking or lifting his head again.
I slowly got up, wanting to leave this place as soon as possible, but just as I moved, Xiao Minxing lifted his head.
His eyes were slightly red, and his lips were dry and cracked, the lines dividing the upper part of his face.
His words came out slowly and awkwardly: "Whether it's mine or not, don't think about divorcing me. Qiu Yuhan, I've said it before—my door isn't something anyone can enter or exit at will."
After saying this, he stood up faster than I did, rushing out of the corner like the wind and straight through the door.
Mina rushed over immediately, holding my hand and asking, "Anan, are you okay?"
I shook my head, my eyes still following the figure that had already disappeared into the darkness.
He vanished too quickly. I hadn't seen him for many days and didn't even have the chance to really look at him before he disappeared from my sight as abruptly and swiftly as he had arrived.
Mina said, "Shall we go back too?"
I looked at the spot where they had been sitting earlier, but Su Qian was already gone. In that place, a couple had taken their seats and were laughing loudly, completely oblivious to their surroundings.
Following Mina, I stepped out of the KTV, and a cool breeze hit me.
I shivered in the wind, while Mina quickly pulled me toward the roadside and hailed a taxi, pushing me inside.
Once we got home, she didn't rest either; she poured me a cup of hot water and said, "The weather has turned cold. I didn’t bring you an extra coat for going out tonight. Drink some hot water quickly so you don’t catch a cold again."
After saying this, she added, "How about we steam some eggs for breakfast tomorrow? I heard that pregnant women should eat more eggs because they are high in protein and good for the baby's brain development."
I knew she was trying to distract me from my chaotic thoughts, but all I could think about was Xiao Minxing's face, making it hard to focus on what she was saying.
Finally, feeling overwhelmed, I put down the cup and said, "I'm a bit tired. I'm going to sleep for a while. You should rest early too."
Mina stood still, her hands frozen in mid-air as she was busy with something. After a moment, she quickly followed me into the room. When she saw me lying on the bed, she helped cover me with the blanket and then silently left.
I closed my eyes but couldn't fall asleep for a long time.
On the other hand, Mina probably thought I was already asleep because she made a phone call outside.
It sounded like she was calling Zhuo Feng and quietly told him about what happened tonight.
I couldn't hear what Zhuo Feng said on the other end, but Mina whispered here, "Anan is still uncertain about things. Besides, Su Qian isn't reliable either. I've regretted it today; I'm worried they might cause more trouble."
"Okay, okay. Next time I'll definitely bring you along. But honestly, will there be a next time for this kind of thing?"
"Alright then, you should communicate with Su Qian and find out what he really wants to do. Anan can't get hurt again. Plus, I can see that Xiao Minxing won't just let go like this. If we follow our plan and he doesn't get divorced in the end, what will we do?"
"Anan doesn't want to go to court; in fact, she still can't let go of Xiao Minxing. I could tell from the way she looked at him today that this matter won't be easy to handle. Moreover, the real reason she wants a divorce isn't due to a lack of feelings or anything like that."
"Sigh, it's all very complicated. Let's talk more when we meet tomorrow."
They were on the phone for quite a while, and all I could hear was Mina talking, which made my heart feel even more bitter.
This was originally my own issue, but now my friends are all worried about me. Meanwhile, I can't even handle a small matter; just meeting Xiao Minxing makes me anxious, and I dare not think about Su Qian's plan.
After Mina hung up, she came back to check on me once before closing the door and returning to her own room.
In the past, when I stayed at her house, we would sleep together. But this time, because of my pregnancy, I've been restless and have insomnia at night, sleeping too much during the day.
I had to separate myself; otherwise, it might affect her ability to go to work. Nighttime is when she has to take care of me—where would she find the energy during the day?
Thinking about it, it's really not worth it for Mina to endure so much just to be my friend.
After I heard her fall asleep, I got out of bed again and walked to the window to look at the night sky outside.
The city's lights outshine the stars in the sky, brightly illuminating the darkness before me in a colorful display that stretches far away, connecting to places I can't see.
Perhaps at the end of that horizon lies the home of Xiao Minxing and me.
I wonder if he has returned home at this moment?
