  Before I left, I gave Tao Hao a call. She had gone to a city in the Northeast after graduation. It was a strange and unfamiliar place that we had never been in contact with before. In my impression, it should be a cold city. But inexplicably, I felt that it was very suitable for Tao Hao. The four seasons are distinct, the folk customs are refreshing, and from any point of view, they will make Tao Hao feel at home.

  Actually, I have little contact with Tao in daily life, but true friends can be seen at this time. Even if we haven't been in touch for so long, when we talk again, it won't feel awkward. It's as if we were strolling together on the street yesterday, intimate and unreserved, without any worries in our conversation.

  This nightmare that has been torturing me for several months was actually just a matter of a few minutes, with Tao's ear-piercing screams and loud curses.

  "I've been saying that Jin Tongtong is a worthless person!" After thinking for a moment, he added another sentence "Your sister is even more hopeless!"

  "What? What's going on?"

  "Hmph!" She let out a heavy sigh "Forget it, you don't need to know the Northeastern dialect's curse words."

  Alright... but I already knew that...

  Tao is good at this point, can learn to scold people's words wherever he goes.

  It's okay... anyway, I won't be at a loss.

  "I said!" Tao Hao came again with energy "Your brain doesn't turn around either, how can I just believe that everything is so coincidental."

  "Why didn't I turn around?"

  For the sake of my IQ, I had to argue desperately: "I didn't understand it all along, did I?"

  "What use is it after the fact? Are you dreaming? Pretending to be a wise guy after the event, what were you thinking at the time? Normally I think you're quite clever, but when it comes down to it, your IQ seems like zero?"

  I was speechless, but Tao Hao continued to press his advantage: "Do you think you're being wronged? Let me tell you! You deserved it! If I were Shen Zhuo, that little brat, I would have dumped you long ago. How could he tolerate your constant nagging and harassment?"

  I bit my lip lightly and after half a day, I finally said: "Okay... I'm pregnant."

  "You're pregnant...... You're pregnant!!!!!!!!!!"

  I had to take the phone far away in order to protect my ears.

  "Whose child is this whose whose ah ah ah ah!"

  Tao Hao's attitude makes me wonder if this child is really hers. Otherwise, why would she be more excited than the two men who might be the child's father?

  "It's hard because I don't know... If I knew, it wouldn't be so difficult."

  She finally regained her composure and asked: "But didn't Shen Zhong break up with you? What did Du Bin say?"

  "I'm planning to go abroad with Du Bin, it's just a matter of days."

  "Fine, you... step by step, rushing out of Asia and into the world." Her tone was filled with strong dissatisfaction. "Hey, I'm just asking... can this earth still hold you?"

  Tao has always been good at talking, and listening to her sharp and sarcastic language, I somehow feel inexplicably close.

  I will be back.

  She snorted: "You're talking like Grey Wolf. What's the point of coming back? Who's waiting for you? That little handsome guy has already dumped you, without any hesitation, your future life will be so bleak... Tsk tsk tsk..."

  I shrugged: "Anyway... things are like this now, it sounds unbelievable. Ah... I actually don't know why I made such a decision either."

  "Love makes people blind."

  "I'm numb now!"

  "You said you..." She looked very annoyed. "Such a top-notch guy, if I were you, I would use all my skills to grasp him tightly and not let him slip away! How could you let him get away! Besides... your first boyfriend is already so excellent, I predict that you won't be able to marry in the future!"

  I burst out laughing: "With a child in tow, you still want to get married? Do you think others are stupid?"

  "So you'll end up being lonely for the rest of your life then."

  "Who knows... let's wait and see." I looked at the sunset outside the window, the afterglow filling the sky, breathtakingly beautiful. "Maybe a few years later, I'll be relieved, after all, time is so magical. Perhaps when I'm older and wiser, it will be fine."

  "Then I wish you a night of old age."

  "Wishing you good luck."

  "Ask our big treasure how she's doing, and say that her mom is thinking of her very much, and ask who the father of the treasure is."

  My hand strokes my not-so-obvious belly as if I can really feel that little treasure.

  "Good." I smiled slightly, feeling relieved for the first time "I have to ask."

  ——————————————————————————

  Canada is located in the northern part of North America. It borders the Atlantic Ocean to the east, the Pacific Ocean to the west, and the US state of Alaska to the northwest. To the northeast, it shares a maritime boundary with Greenland (Denmark) across the Nares Strait. The country's southern border is shared with the contiguous United States, while its northern border is bounded by the Arctic Circle. Canada's coastline is approximately 243,000 km long. The eastern part of the country has slightly lower temperatures, the south has a moderate climate, the west has a mild and humid climate, and the north has a tundra climate. The highest temperature in central and western Canada can reach over 40°C, while the lowest temperature in the north can drop to -60°C.

  This was written on a geography magazine I bought before coming to Canada, and the city I came to is called Calgary. The locals also call it C- Town.

  Because I'm a graduate student, and Du Bin has been taking care of me every day, my classmates and teachers actually think we're husband and wife, and it's also become natural that I'm pregnant. I feel much less pressure in my heart, but I vaguely feel sorry for Du Bin.

  We live in a 200-ping apartment, not a loft, so the house seems particularly large. After I got pregnant, I became extremely sleepy. That day, I had already fallen asleep, but when I turned over, the quilt fell to the ground. The air conditioner was on in the room, and I was really sleeping too soundly to get up and pick up the quilt.

  Du Bin didn't know when he came in, he sighed, picked up the quilt and covered me with it carefully, for fear of waking me up.

  "Don't blame me..."

  I probably haven't told you guys... Now that it's come to this, I really don't blame anyone. Can I really say everything is someone else's fault? Can I really complain about Shen Dong's abandonment?

  Now I only wish to give birth to this child smoothly, then find a way to make a living and raise my child. Maybe I'll get married, maybe I'll be alone until old age, but what's the difference anyway?

  One afternoon after finishing class, I still had one more lesson in the afternoon. I was so tired and didn't want to go home, so I went back to my dormitory.

  As soon as I pushed open the door, I heard the woman's gasping voice.

  I'm not inexperienced in romantic matters, I immediately understood what was happening and my face turned red as I backed away with a racing heart.

  "Who?"

  A low, husky male voice, even if you can't see the person, just listening to the sound makes you feel incredibly sexy.

  "Uh... it's me... osie."

  My roommate walked out wearing pajamas and slippers, saw me, and let out a slight sigh of relief: "Osie, how did you get back?"

  "I... I seem to be more nervous than she is, tongue-tied."

  A man came out of the house, but it turned out to be an Oriental person. He saw me and was taken aback for a moment, then asked in Chinese: "Chinese?"

  I nodded.

  His shirt was unbuttoned a few buttons, and I only saw clearly as he walked closer. It turned out that this man looked so good, with high nose bridge, deep eyes, charming smile, and suffocating sensuality!

  “osie？”

  "My name is Liu Jia."

  "No wonder."

  Osie is the English word for willow or willow branch, so he said something unexpected.

  He turned around and looked at my roommate, smiled: "Dear, I'll leave first, I'll call you another day."

  My roommate gazed at him with a pair of rabbit-like eyes, ignoring me, and said affectionately: "You must remember to call me."

  He responded somewhat absent-mindedly: "Uh-huh."

  Then he walked past me and pushed the door away.

  My roommate rushed to the window and I curiously followed her, it turned out she was waiting to see that man.

  The man left the apartment and saw four bodyguard-like figures walking up on either side of him, surrounding him as he got into a car.

  I know very little about cars, so I asked my roommate: "What kind of car is it?"

  "Bentley, Phantom."

  As they spoke, her roommate's eyes were filled with boundless longing.

  It wasn't until now that I remembered, the woman beside me seemed to be our school's beauty queen.

  Can't help but laugh, this oriental person really knows how to enjoy himself!
