Looking closer, the door wasn't fully closed, leaving a crack. I peeked inside and saw the aunt sitting alone on the sofa.

The sound of the TV came from inside. I hesitated for a moment before raising my hand to knock on the door. She immediately walked towards the door.

I stepped aside before she opened the door. The aunt wasn't surprised to see me and politely asked, "Are you looking for Shi Yu?"

Hearing her call Pei Shi Yu by her given name showed they had a casual relationship, so I immediately smiled and said, "Yes, is she home?"

"Not yet, I'm waiting for her."

"Did she say when she'd be back?"

"She should be soon, come on in." As she spoke, she stepped to the side.

I calmly walked inside. The house was very clean. The first thing I noticed was that it was spotless. The aunt followed me in and said warmly, "Have a seat, it's been a while."

I smiled awkwardly and replied, "I was too embarrassed to come again."

"I'll make you a cup of tea."

"No need, I just had a drink before coming."

She ignored my words and quickly brought over a glass of water, then asked, "Why don't you call Shi Yu and ask?"

"No need, I'll just wait for her here."

"I'm afraid you'll be bored."

"No, do you wait for her to come home every day?" I asked curiously.

"Yes, Shi Yu is pregnant, I won't be at ease if she doesn't come back."

"Thank you, Auntie!" I said without thinking.

As soon as I said that, the aunt immediately looked at me and asked very cautiously, "Is this child yours?"

"Auntie, why do you ask that?"

"I've been here for almost four months, and I haven't seen Shi Yu with any other boy."

"She didn't tell me about this."

"You didn't come either, how could she tell you?" The aunt was clearly on Pei Shi Yu's side this time.

I understood. After a brief silence, I was about to find something to talk about when the sound of a car suddenly came from outside. I immediately stood up and walked towards the door. The aunt said from behind, "Shi Yu is back."

"I'll go take a look," I replied casually.

Perhaps Pei Shi Yu saw my car, because when I went out, she was shining her headlights on the rear of my car. I walked over to her car, and she rolled down the window at the same time and asked, "What are you doing here?"

"Isn't that obvious?"

"Trespassing, I'll call the police." Pei Shi Yu said as she turned off the engine.

"I have something to tell you."

"Say it." Pei Shi Yu sat in the car, showing no intention of getting out.

"Let's go inside and talk."

"Planning a long conversation?"

"That's the intention."

"It's always the same few words, I'm tired of hearing them."

"This time is different, get out of the car first."

As I spoke, I reached out and opened the car door. Maybe it was too hot outside, seeing Pei Shi Yu instinctively wanting to close the door, my first reaction was to block the car door with my leg and urged again, "Get out, it's getting late, let's make it quick."

"Rogue."

"Don't get me wrong, I just want to say a few words to you, so you can rest early too."

"Are you annoying or what?"

Pei Shi Yu got out of the car while complaining, and slammed the car door shut. As for her attitude, it didn't matter anymore, as long as she could have a normal conversation with me.

I stood next to her and explained, "If the matter isn't resolved, it will be even more annoying in the future. You giving birth to the child without my consent is also a kind of deception. How can I get married and have children in the future? Who will accept me?"

Pei Shi Yu's eyes suddenly became sharp, and she stared at me and asked, "What do you mean?"

"That's what I mean, do you think it's necessary for us to communicate?" I questioned.

"Well, it's good to make a clean break."

Pei Shi Yu walked directly into the house. I stared at her back. The way she walked was stiff, making me feel that it was an angry back view. I followed her in. When I entered, Pei Shi Yu was saying to the aunt, "You go to sleep first, I won't eat anything tonight."

The aunt looked up at me, as if she understood something, smiled at me as a greeting, and then went straight into her room.

"Where shall we talk?" I asked her first.

"Say it."

"I think it's better to talk upstairs, in case your voice gets out of control and affects the aunt's rest."

"Why would I lose control?" Pei Shi Yu said a little unhappily.

"You speak with emotions, and besides, can I still have ideas about you like this?"

"Did I make you have ideas?"

I discovered a weakness of Pei Shi Yu. I realized that the more submissive I was, the more her aura would suppress me, and I would be led by her rhythm. Like now, I didn't follow her temper anymore, and Pei Shi Yu had less of an arrogant posture.

"Then let's go upstairs and talk."

"What is it, just say it downstairs, otherwise you can go back."

"Do I still need to tell you what it is? I'm going abroad at the end of the month, how can you pretend that I don't exist about such a big thing? What will it be like when I come back in three to five years?"

"Then tell me, how should we deal with it?"

"Let's get a marriage certificate first. I think since you want this child, it means there's still a possibility for the two of us, otherwise it will be a concern for both of us, especially me..."

Pei Shi Yu interrupted me and asked with an unbelievable expression, "Wait, who am I concerned about?"

I was choked for a moment, and then corrected myself, "I will be concerned about you."

"No need."

"Can you speak properly? Is this a matter of can or cannot? Let's get a certificate this week, do you agree?"

"Is this a negotiating tone?"

"Ever since I found out that day, I've been patiently talking to you, have you shown a sincere attitude yourself? I will agree to whatever you ask."

"Isn't your purpose just to make up?" Pei Shi Yu said sharply.

"Yes, you said you wanted to break up before, I respected you, right? But now it's impossible for me to follow you, let's be frank today, just tell me directly what you want." My tone suddenly became a little firm.

"I haven't thought so much now, I'll accept it when the child comes."

"Then do you accept my proposal?"

"Let me think about it, it's useless for you to force me now, I really haven't thought so far ahead."

I stared at Pei Shi Yu's face and felt that she was telling the truth. She might be looking forward to the arrival of the child, but as far as I was concerned, she was not prepared to accept me, or rather, it had not reached a point where she could accept me with ease.

"Pei Shi Yu, you may think I'm annoying now, but in a few days..."

"I know, I already told you this morning, you haven't left yet, you have to give me time to adjust, right?"

If Pei Shi Yu had spoken to me in this tone from the beginning, I wouldn't have kept chasing her and asking, and at this moment her words made me understand her thoughts.
