Protagonist:

Li Xiulan

"How is your dad?"

Wang Xiaohua emerged from the subway entrance, saw Li Jianjia, and the first thing he asked was this.

"I'm not too sure. I asked the person who called me, and he wouldn't say either. Will you come with me tomorrow?" Li Jianjia said.

Wang Xiaohua agreed with a smile: "Sure, tomorrow morning I'll go with you to Baiyun Prison. After seeing your dad, I'll catch a flight back to Beijing."

Li Jianjia took Wang Xiaohua's hand, and the two walked back together to the house Li Jianjia rented in University Town.

As soon as they got back they embraced, tacitly saying nothing, just silently doing what both of them wanted to do.

Not until after six in the afternoon did the two finally come out of the rental house.

Together they headed to Wang Dashan's villa to visit Wang Zhanggen.

"Dad, I brought Jianjia over."

Wang Xiaohua and Li Jianjia came before Wang Zhanggen and greeted him.

"Good evening, Father-in-law."

Li Jianjia looked at Wang Zhanggen's haggard appearance, and her heart was greatly shocked.

She didn't call Wang Zhanggen "Dad" purely because she still wasn't used to changing her form of address.

Wang Zhanggen glanced at Li Jianjia and asked:

"Jianjia, Xiaohua says you two are trying hard to conceive. Is that true?"

Li Jianjia was stunned. She did want to, but Wang Xiaohua was very cautious.

Even this afternoon they had taken full protective measures.

But Li Jianjia was a smart person. Since Xiaohua had said it that way, whatever the reason, she went along and echoed:

"Yes, we're trying hard."

Wang Zhanggen nodded weakly:

"Good, good. Hope I live to see your baby born."

Wang Xiaohua hurriedly reassured:

"Dad, rest assured. You'll definitely see Jianjia and my child come into the world."

After finishing dinner at Wang Dashan's villa, Wang Xiaohua and Li Jianjia returned to the University Town side.

They had just gotten back and showered when Li Jianjia hugged Wang Xiaohua again, wanting him.

She also said:

"Didn't you say in front of your dad that we're trying to make a baby? How about we stop using contraception? Actually I really want a baby too."

Wang Xiaohua was stunned, then firmly stated his position:

"No way. You're taking the postgraduate entrance exam this December. If you get pregnant now, it'll throw all our plans into chaos."

Then he explained:

"The reason I said that to my dad was to give him a belief to keep living on, not because I really want a child."

"But I want one."

Li Jianjia looked at Wang Xiaohua, her eyes pleading:

"Actually, I also need a belief to keep living on."

Li Jianjia's words were not false.

Now her family was shattered, she suffered from depression, often full of anxiety; without something to hold onto, she might collapse at any moment.

She was no longer that once lively, cheerful, actively optimistic girl.

She had become sensitive and fragile, like exquisite and luxurious porcelain.

Hearing Li Jianjia say this, Wang Xiaohua couldn't help but be stunned.

For a moment he didn't know what to do.

He clearly knew what the optimal solution was, yet found it very hard to choose it with complete rationality.

Perhaps this is life.

Life isn't a cold math problem.

In the end he compromised:

"Alright then... we'll start trying to conceive from now..."

Because Li Jianjia had already attempted suicide once, he didn't want her constantly thinking about this and that, triggering another depressive episode.

If he refused Li Jianjia's request, she might suddenly ask "Don't you love me anymore," and he'd probably have to spend ages explaining with great effort.

Even if he explained, Li Jianjia might not listen, and would still have all sorts of wild thoughts.

So he could only yield again and again to the demands Li Jianjia raised.

He could only pray in his heart, hoping she wouldn't get pregnant so easily.

And comfort himself that this time probably wouldn't make Li Jianjia pregnant.

After all, they had already done it once this afternoon with protection, so the probability of pregnancy this time would naturally be a bit smaller.

But even thinking like this in his heart, Wang Xiaohua still couldn't help worrying.

He was truly afraid one wrong step, and every step after would be wrong.

Disrupting Li Jianjia's entire life plan.

It also disrupted his own life planning.

It was precisely because he carried worry in his inner heart that, when he was intimate with Li Jianjia this night, he was somewhat not in the right state, causing them to lose their tacit understanding and no longer able to achieve that kind of extremely perfect experience.

Li Jianjia was naturally able to sense it, so afterward she was somewhat angry:

"If you don't want me to get pregnant, just say it out, I never said I insist on forcing you to accommodate me."

Xiao Hua hurriedly said:

"Don't think like that, this isn't accommodating you, it's respecting you. This is because I was tired all day today, not in the right state."

Li Jianjia, however, said:

"This is not in the right state? Not in the right state yet still able to last nearly an hour. I just feel we've become not tacit, making doing this kind of thing feel off."

Li Jianjia's intuition was correct.

Actually, not only did she feel it was off, Xiao Hua also felt a bit off.

Afternoon and evening, two times intimate, separated by only a few hours, but the experiences of the two times were vastly different. The afternoon one was a natural, effortless tacit understanding; this evening one instead resembled working overtime, tasteless and carrying fatigue.

Xiao Hua could still only comfort Li Jianjia:

"Don't think so much. Let's sleep early tonight, okay? Tomorrow we still have to go see your dad."

Li Jianjia didn't say anything more.

In a blink it arrived at the next day early morning. Xiao Hua was still in a dream, drowsy, but Li Jianjia took the initiative to make him wake.

"Jianjia, what's wrong?"

Li Jianjia said by his ear:

"I have a feeling I really might get pregnant. However, now it's estimated we still need to again..."

Xiao Hua's face was full of astonishment. He felt Li Jianjia had become somewhat pathological.

But he couldn't bring himself to refuse, could only agree.

Fortunately, after passing through one night's rest, this morning this time, the two were quite tacit.

He finally gave Li Jianjia a satisfying experience, so as not to let Li Jianjia have wild thoughts again.

But instead it became Xiao Hua's turn to have wild thoughts.

The last two times no protective measures were taken at all. Could it really make Li Jianjia pregnant?

He began to regret in his heart. How could he not be more resolute? He should have refused Li Jianjia this kind of unreasonable demand.

If Li Jianjia really gets pregnant at this time, it would very likely ruin her lifetime.

He doesn't want Li Jianjia to end up becoming an ordinary full-time housewife. Li Jianjia should have her own pursuits, her own free personality, and shouldn't become an appendage of his, Xiao Hua.
