Chapter 2016 Side Story 4: I Will Always Be The One Losing Between Us
Wen Xinya watched as the crystal turtle floated up from the bottom of the water tank and raised its head proudly. Its pair of green bean-like eyes were even looking around vigilantly, looking indescribably silly and cute.
Wen Xinya suddenly reached out and grabbed the turtle"s tail, causing it to sink into the water. It was just as timid as before.
This turtle was given to her by si yiyan back then, and she had named it Little Si.
All these years, after her careful care, the little turtle had grown up a little. It was the size of a two or three-year-old child"s palm, but it was still so exquisite and beautiful.
Many people liked to raise turtles because turtles had longer lifespans and were easier to raise. They didn"t have to worry that their pets would leave their owners due to their lifespan after they developed feelings for them.
After a long time, the little turtle stuck his head out from the bottom of the tank, his s.h.i.+fty eyes making people laugh.
Wen Xinya reached into the water tank and picked up the little turtle. The little turtle retracted its head and waved its four short legs in the air.
Wen Xinya said in disdain, " &Quot; Little Si si, it"s been so many years and you"re still so timid. You haven"t improved at all. &Quot;
She couldn"t help but laugh at the thought of si yiyan"s dark face every time she called the little turtle " Little Si. &Quot;
In the past, in order to change her mind, si yiyan gave the little turtle a new name. He took out a whole book of Cihai and gave her dozens of names to choose from.
Back then, she had asked si yiyan to choose between " Little Si, " " little Yi, " and " little Yingluo. &Quot; he had finally given in.
Wen Xinya"s smile deepened at the thought of the situation back then.
"You"ve simply buried this name when you named it Little Si." She stretched out her fair and tender finger and gently poked the little turtle"s belly. The little turtle"s four short legs waved even more vigorously. Wen Xinya smiled and said, " &Quot; haha, Little Si, you"re so cute. &Quot;
Seeing that she was fine, si yiyan continued to tease the little turtle. His face darkened and he said, " "Come here, I have something to tell you."
This little turtle was definitely the biggest failure of his life.
If he had known earlier, he would have given the little turtle to Xinya back then.
Every time he heard Wen Xinya calling the little Si, he would look calm on the outside, though he would break down on the inside.
The first time he saw Wen Xinya playing with the little turtle, he had a very strange feeling. It felt weird, but he could not put his finger on it.
"Alright!" Wen Xinya placed the little turtle in her hands into the water tank. The timid little fellow instantly sank to the bottom of the water and never emerged again.
She looked at si yiyan"s sullen expression and the little one in her heart burst into laughter.
&Quot; old Mr. Du just called. He suggested that we stay in the hospital half a month before the expected date of delivery. I"ve already arranged the hospital. We"ll go there tomorrow! &Quot;
Si yiyan heaved a huge sigh of relief that Wen Xinya did not have any signs of premature labor after the arduous eight months of pregnancy.
There was still half a month to the expected date of delivery. Old Mr. Du and the doctor"s examination showed that the fetus and the mother were in good condition. Even if the symptoms acted up earlier, there would not be any major problems.
However, due to Wen Xinya"s relatively weak health, it would be a dangerous test for her whether it was a C-section or natural birth. Hence, it was safer for her to be hospitalized in advance.
Wen Xinya pouted slightly, clearly not too happy. However, she still nodded and said, " "Alright then!"
The closer it was to her due date, the heavier her body felt. It was uncomfortable sitting, standing, and all over her body. These few days, she spent most of her time lying in bed. However, in order to prepare for the delivery later, she would bear with the physical discomfort and do some appropriate exercises.
Si yiyan held her slightly cold hand and said, " "Don"t worry, you"ll definitely give birth to this little brat safely."
Due to the approaching due date, Wen Xinya developed a phobia of childbirth and was often woken up by nightmares at night. He ma.s.saged her with bitter orange essential oil every day, and although it did relieve her condition, the effect was not obvious.
For this, he had read a lot of related books, and her mood had stabilized a lot in the past two days.
That was the main reason why he had arranged for Wen Xinya to be hospitalized in advance.
"Richard, who do you think has conquered who?" Wen Xinya suddenly thought of this question while leaning into si yiyan"s arms and couldn"t help but ask.
The little fellow, whose due date was approaching, was also getting more and more restless. He kicked and punched her in her stomach all day long, causing her to be restless day and night. Si yiyan also lectured his son more and more often.
Si yiyan asked,"why did you suddenly ask this question?"
He hadn"t really thought about this question.
However, from his own perspective, he felt that Wen Xinya had conquered him.
After all, the one who fell in love first would always be the one who was conquered.

Wen Xinya thought for a while and answered,"I"m just asking." &Nbsp;
Si yiyan fell silent.
Wen Xinya pushed his chest. &Quot; hurry up and answer me. Don"t brush me off. &Quot; she said.
Si yiyan"s fingers ran through her hair gently, and her s.h.i.+ny black hair was smooth and unruly in his fingers. &Quot; "Is this question very important to you?"
He felt that this question was not important.
What was important was that he was head over heels for her and had an unswerving determination.
For him, she did not turn back, and she admired and believed in him.
In that case, it didn"t matter who conquered who.
After a moment of silence, Wen Xinya shook her head and said, " &Quot; not really. I"m just a little curious. &Quot;
Si yiyan laughed. &Quot; who do you think has conquered who? " he asked.
He really didn"t know how to answer this question.
Wen Xinya glared at him. &Quot; after beating around the bush for so long, you"re throwing the question back at me again. How boring. Isn"t it just a question? " Is it that hard to answer?"
She then ignored si yiyan.
Si yiyan held her in front of his chest and suddenly said in a low voice, " "Although I can"t really answer this question, I know that I will always be the one who loses."
There was no winning or losing in love.
However, he would rather be the loser forever in front of her.
Wen Xinya was stunned. She looked into his eyes, which were like the vast ocean. She suddenly thought of a pa.s.sage in Anderson"s fairy tale, " daughter of the sea, " which described the ocean.
In the distance, the water was so blue, like the most beautiful cornflower chrysanthemum petals, but also so clear, like the brightest gla.s.s. However, it was very deep, so deep that no chain could reach the bottom.
In order to reach the surface from the bottom of the sea, many church spires had to be connected one by one.
That pair of eyes was so beautiful, so clear, so deep, so vast, like the spire of a Gothic house, full of beauty and magnificence.
