Chapter 31
Chapter 31
Bai Jiling looked at Chu Jiayun's reaction and that haggard face, and couldn't believe it. It's only been a while since we saw each other, so why have they changed so much?
She stood by the door, watching Chu Jiajun skillfully rinsed her mouth and washed her face, she was obviously used to the reaction just now.Bai Jiling had an ominous premonition in his heart, but it was quickly broken by his own reason.
Impossible, how could this be pregnancy, maybe sick or not having a good rest.
Chu Jiayun ignored the seriousness and search in her eyes, and went back to the living room, poured her a glass of water, and prepared to continue cleaning up, obviously not planning to have a detailed chat with her.
Bai Jiling didn't care about these things, she stepped forward and grabbed Chu Jiayun's wrist: "What happened, you returned to Ancheng suddenly, and then changed cities without saying a word, there must be a reason?"
Chu Jiayun didn't look at her, and gently broke away from her hand, and carefully stuffed a professional book into the cardboard box.
"Actually, there is no particular reason. I have never been used to staying in one place for a long time. There is nothing wrong with changing the environment."
"At the beginning, you chose Ancheng because the climate here is suitable and there are doctors you know and trust who can help Jiaxi. Now these are not important?"
Chu Jiayun stopped tidying up, but still turned her back to Bai Jiling.Rarely has she been so helpless, even a little vulnerable.
Bai Jiling walked around in front of her, unable to see the emotion in her eyes clearly, but there was no need to ask her how she was feeling anymore.The last time I saw Chu Jiayun so sad was not long after Chu Jiaxi's accident.
"If you are really in trouble, you can tell me, and we can solve it together."
Chu Jiayun quickly denied her statement: "We can't solve it together, and you can't help me either."
Bai Jiling frowned, she didn't completely push herself away about Chu Jiaxi's matter, what kind of thing would make her so decisive now?
"We have known each other for so many years, don't you still believe in our friendship? If you are worried that our strength is not enough, I can still ask Uncle for help."
Knowing her character, Chu Jiayun could only look up at her: "Ji Ling, you really can't help me this time, because this is my business alone."
Bai Jiling's face paled in an instant, and she tried to find various reasons, just to hear an answer from Chu Jiayun that would make her feel at ease.No matter how difficult the problem is, even if it takes a huge price to solve it, it is much better than what she has heard now.
Now, she can no longer lie to herself.Now that I've come and seen it again, I might as well ask clearly and ask myself to understand.
Bai Jiling took a deep breath: "Jiayun, are you...pregnant?"
Chu Jiayun shuddered slightly and frowned, but she did not deny it.
Bai Jiling clenched his fists and hung them by his sides, unable to use his strength.
The two of them stood not far away, neither of them spoke anymore.The fact that Chu Jiayun was pregnant broke all the balance in Bai Jiling's heart. She didn't understand, she didn't understand, and she couldn't accept it.
"Can you tell me whose it is?"
Chu Jiayun shook her head, her emotions had returned to calm: "Just treat it as my own."
Bai Jiling finally couldn't help it, and said loudly: "Is this something you can do alone? You still have to protect the other party at a time like this, what's wrong with you!"
Ever since Chu Jiayun resolutely took on the responsibility of taking care of her younger sister, Bai Jiling knew that she was a person with a strong sense of responsibility.How could he be so tolerant to an irresponsible Alpha when it came to him?
Chu Jiayun was much more fragile than before, and felt tired at this moment, so she had to sit on the sofa and relax.Bai Jiling chased after her again and sat beside her, but the volume was suppressed.
"It doesn't matter if you don't want to say who the other party is, but you don't need to move because of this. If the other party pesters you, I can help you solve it. If you are worried about being criticized, then I..."
Chu Jiayun supported her forehead with one hand, and interrupted her: "Ji Ling, let me handle my own affairs, okay? I have my own arrangements, and I know what I'm doing."
Bai Jiling felt like there were countless ants crawling in his heart, and he still couldn't really accept this reality.She was even more convinced that Chu Jiayun's sudden absence that day must have something to do with it, but she wasn't sure if it happened before or after.
She got up to help Chu Jiajun tidy up the books, put the books on the floor into boxes one by one according to Chu Jiajun's preference, and said in an unspeakably sad tone: "I don't mean to interfere with your life, I just "I didn't expect such a big thing, I didn't know anything about it."
"sorry."
"If you need my help, just ask. It will be very hard to carry it alone at this time."
Chu Jiayun didn't tell her that he had arranged for the operation, nor did he tell Bai Jiling about his future plans.The pregnancy had already had a great impact on her, if she talked about other things, Chu Jiayun was afraid that Bai Jiling would faint at her house.
Continuing to talk about the child's topic would only increase embarrassment, and Bai Jiling didn't want to make himself feel wronged, so he took the initiative to change the subject: "This time you brought Jiaxi to change cities, wouldn't it be easy if there was news of an SS-level Alpha? miss?"
"I haven't found it after four years of searching. Life still has to go on as usual. Just let it happen."
Bai Jiling talked about Bai Shiqian's research progress again: "But Uncle let me tell you some good news, there has been a major breakthrough in the study of simulating the replication of glandular gene sequences, and it may be possible to extract cell samples minimally invasively soon, and by then Jiaxi's glandular The chances of a fix will be high."
They were looking for SS-level Alphas for nothing more than to obtain cell samples from the other party's glands.However, the current technical means are limited, and the extraction must go through a relatively large operation, which poses a great risk to the owner of the gland.
Before that, Chu Jiayun would not hesitate to choose her younger sister. To a certain extent, she was selfish.But now, she hesitated because that person was Yu Sui.
She is very clear that human nature sometimes cannot stand scrutiny and testing, and always subconsciously seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, and always want to choose the side that is beneficial to oneself.
Yu Sui's status in Chu Jiayun's heart was inferior to that of her younger sister, but those eyes that genuinely cared about her and worried about her often accompanied her to sleep in the silent night.Occasionally, she would be fragile and let her thoughts conjecture. If Yu Sui was by her side at this time, would she find her troublesome or would she take good care of her?
But this kind of unrealistic guess is only in the middle of the night, as long as reason has the upper hand, Chu Jiayun knows that Yu Sui will not be willing to be dragged down by such things.She has done a psychological assessment for Yu Sui, and also had personal contact with her, she knows what Yu Sui is pursuing in his heart.
It is freedom, many details revealed by Yu Sui inadvertently show that she wants to live freely and live the life she wants to live.
Chu Jiayun knows how hard it is to catch someone like the wind.Besides, Yu Sui was here to help her, she didn't want to use this to tie up Yu Sui's pursuit of freedom.
She has feelings for Yu Sui, but it's not strong enough to insist on her, let alone using children to put pressure on her,
Bai Jiling saw that instead of being happy when she heard the news, she was even more worried and puzzled: "Don't you want to cure Jiaxi sooner?"
"Of course I do. No one wants her to get well soon more than I do."
"But you didn't seem to respond. I thought you had changed your mind."
"I've just been disappointed too many times, so I dare not be happy too soon."
Bai Jiling wanted to stay a few more days to help her pack her things, but Chu Jiayun was afraid that she would know about the operation, so she forced her back to Jingcheng.
The day before the operation, Chu Jiayun turned off all her work and stayed at home alone.Her decision wavered occasionally, but never changed.She sat from sunrise to sunset, and finally when night fell, there was a crack in her heart. Maybe she could try to ask Yu Sui for her opinion, after all, the child was not hers alone.
She hesitated for a long time before dialing Yu Sui's number, but she did not answer after waiting for a while.She calmed down and called again, but this time she was picked up quickly.
Before she had time to speak, a familiar voice came from over there, but it wasn't Yu Sui's.
The slightly noisy background music made Chu Jiayun inexplicably upset, and Ren Xuran's excited voice made her dizzy even more.
"Instructor Chu, are you looking for Yu Sui? She has gone to the bathroom, please wait a moment."
"Are you singing outside?"
"No, we're going abroad next week, and we're here to choose some custom-made speakers and ship them over."
Chu Jiayun's heart sank, and she kept her tone steady and said, "Are you going to the school you mentioned earlier?"
There was less noise from Ren Xuran's side, and his voice became clearer: "Yes, but Yu Suifei said that she would apply to change schools after she left, and Sheng Nanxi and I couldn't persuade her."
Chu Jiayun's voice was thinner than usual, and there was a faint vibrato, Ren Xuran thought that he had hallucinated during the sound test just now.
"Instructor Chu, are you in a hurry? Can I go to the bathroom to find Yu Sui, or ask her to call you back later?"
"No, I just want to ask a former student about the assessment experience, so don't tell her."
When Yu Sui came back, after listening to Ren Xuran's words, he wished he could hit her with his mobile phone.
Ren Xuran was aggrieved: "Who told you to go to the toilet and refused to bring your mobile phone, and said you were waiting for takeaway, let me pick it up for you."
While dialing the number, Yu Sui glared at her: "Instructor Chu, how does it sound like a takeaway?"
What surprised Yu Sui was that Chu Jiayun answered the phone very quickly this time, and Yu Sui was not even ready to speak.
"Instructor Chu, are you looking for me?"
Compared to Yu Sui's stuttering, Chu Jiayun seemed very calm: "I'm writing a research report, and I wanted to find some past students as samples for some data."
"Oh, that's it." Yu Sui couldn't help being disappointed, she didn't expect that Chu Jiayun took the initiative to find her, and it was only for work.
But she quickly went on to say: "I can be a sample, what do you want to ask?"
There was a brief silence on the other end of the phone, and then remained calm as usual: "I've got it done, thank you."
"Then...if you need any other help, feel free to come to me."
"Ah."
Yu Sui didn't know if she should say goodbye and hang up the phone now, but she didn't want to.
Chu Jiayun listened to the sound of breathing on the other end, which seemed real and fake, just like the person who woke up that evening and fell asleep beside him.
"Let Xu Ran say that you are going to study abroad next week, and have a safe journey."
"I've settled down there, shall I send you a message?"
Chu Jiayun pinched her palms: "I will be very busy in the future, and you are so far abroad, I can't help you much."
Still full of distance, Yu Sui didn't want to be humble and pester others, for fear that Chu Jiayun would misunderstand that he was relying on her.
"Then Instructor Chu, you too...everything goes well."
