Film and TV: Starting from childhood, I will give up Zhong Yi

Chapter 296 Ma Suqin Gives Birth to a Child; "When You Are Old" is Published

Nanjing Xiangyang Junior High School is located not far from Sha Mao Lane.

This school was where Lin Yuan and Qiao Yicheng studied.

Qiao Sanli and Qiao Simei are now studying here.

Lin Yuan had no classes during the third and fourth periods this morning, so he arrived at the junior high school gate early and waited for Qiao Sanli under the dappled shadows of the trees.

Before Qiao Sanli could even leave, she saw Qiao Simei walking briskly out of the school gate.

Qiao Simei, who had just started junior high school, was developing quite well. She had grown taller and, wearing a blue and white school uniform, looked like a young girl from a distance.

"Brother Lin Yuan".

Qiao Simei liked pretty faces. When she saw Lin Yuan, who was handsome and tall, her face lit up and her voice became sweet.

"Four Beauties," Lin Yuan replied with a smile, "It's been a few days since I've seen you."

Sometimes, if Lin Yuan happened to see Qiao Simei, he would take the two sisters out for lunch.

"It's all my older brother's fault! Now he insists I eat lunch at his school every day." Qiao Simei's face immediately fell, and she complained with a pout.

Lin Yuan asked curiously, "What happened?"

Just then, Qiao Sanli walked out of the school gate. Her delicate features shone with gentleness in the sunlight, and she couldn't help but tease Si Mei: "How dare you say that?"

Then he turned to Lin Yuan and explained, "Brother, Si Mei was secretly dating someone, and the teacher found out. So the teacher called you over, and you told Si Mei to come to his school for meals from now on."

"Mind your own business!" Qiao Simei huffed angrily.

Aside from her eldest brother Qiao Yicheng, who could keep her in check, she wasn't afraid of Qiao Erqiang or Qiao Sanli.

Especially Erqiang, she always treated this second brother with disdain, thinking he was silly and not handsome.

She often felt a deep regret that her two older brothers were not handsome enough.

She deeply envied Sanli for having met such a handsome and gentle 'brother' as Lin Yuan.

Qiao Sanli retorted without backing down, "Why can't I care? You ate all those snacks for nothing."

Lin Yuan chuckled and teased Qiao Simei, "Simei, you're quite trendy, even thinking about early romance. Next time, point out that boy to me, let me see what your taste is like?"

Qiao Sanli chimed in from the side, "I know, I know. Brother, I'll point you out next time. That boy repeated two years; he's quite famous at school."

Qiao Simei glared at her talkative sister with a look that was both embarrassed and annoyed.

Lin Yuan teased, "You're much better than your eldest brother. When he was in junior high, he probably couldn't even speak properly when he saw a girl he liked. How could you be as bold as Si Mei?"

Qiao Simei couldn't stand Lin Yuan's teasing and blushed. "Brother Lin Yuan, I'm leaving now, or my older brother will get anxious again."

"Well, be careful on the road."

Lin Yuan gave a word of advice, then turned and led Qiao Sanli toward their usual restaurant.

"The fact that the four beauties are dating early is probably enough to make your older brother's hair turn white from anger."

Qiao Sanli nodded emphatically: "Si Mei has read a lot of Qiong Yao novels. She was thinking about romance at such a young age. It's all because of this."

Lin Yuan turned his head to look at the gentle and kind Qiao Sanli beside him, his eyes full of smiles: "My Sanli is still the most obedient and sensible."

……

In the days that followed, Lin Yuan devoted most of his energy to accompanying Ma Suqin, who was pregnant.

Of course, the other girls weren't all left behind either.

Even so, he still had to set aside some time to deal with other things.

The company is at a critical stage of development, and he needs to personally finalize the strategic direction and expand the business scope. Fortunately, the newly promoted management team is highly capable and has taken on a lot of the work for him.

The academic discussion surrounding "To Live" remains heated. Nanjing University held a seminar on "To Live," inviting literary experts from all over the country to participate. Lin Yuan also had to attend these events to share his creative insights and feelings.

CCTV also sent a reporter to interview him once, asking detailed and comprehensive questions that covered all aspects. Lin Yuan could refuse interview requests from local TV stations, but he couldn't refuse official requests, so he had to cooperate fully.

Although I'm very busy, time is like water in a sponge; you can always squeeze some out.

As a master of time management, this is naturally no challenge for him.

As for schoolwork, Lin Yuan often had a week-long break.

With Principal Wen Jingyu's special approval, the teachers naturally had nothing to say.

At Wenxue's home.

In the bedroom, Wen Xue was wearing high heels and was a little unsteady on her feet, so she could only hold onto the wall for support.

The clattering of black high heels on the floor, mixed with disordered breathing, was exceptionally clear in the quiet room.

Lin Yuan's hand suddenly fell, the muffled sound startling Wen Xue.

The next second, Lin Yuan pulled her into his arms, leaned down and bit Wen Xue's reddened earlobe, saying flirtatious words: "I really want to have a child with you, a child as beautiful as you."

Wenxue knew that these were just passionate whispers of love, but they still made her heart beat uncontrollably fast.

Her emotions were so turbulent that she was completely overwhelmed, and her whole body trembled uncontrollably, like a leaf rustling in the autumn wind.

Behind the glasses, her peach blossom eyes were veiled with a layer of mist, hazy and dreamy. Her lips parted slightly as she breathed in the air, lost in thought.

To ensure Lin Yuan's enjoyment and to eliminate any future worries, Wen Xue went directly to the hospital to have an IUD inserted.

Otherwise, at her current age, if she were to have another child, she wouldn't know how to face Wen Ju'an, let alone how to explain it to others.

After a tender moment, Wen Xue leaned against the headboard and said softly, "Xinhua Society wants to transfer me to its headquarters in Yanjing."

Lin Yuan, who was standing to the side, looked at her face and asked, "You want to go over there?"

Wen Xue countered, "What do you think?"

Although Wen Xue had already made up her mind, she still wanted to hear Lin Yuan's answer.

Lin Yuan's lips curled into a faint smile, his tone slightly teasing: "Do you want to hear the truth or just polite words?"

What are polite words?

"The polite way to put it is, this is a new height in your career, why would I stop you from pursuing such a bright future?"

"What about the truth?"

Lin Yuan suddenly moved closer, wrapped his long arm around her, and pulled her into his embrace. His warm breath whispered in her ear, "The truth is, I don't want you to leave. I haven't had enough of you yet."

Wenxue felt her cheeks burning. She took a deep breath and said, "My dad has been suffering from angina lately. The medical level in Nanjing is not good enough, but the medical resources in Yanjing are better. I was thinking that the whole family should go to Yanjing together so that we can take care of each other."

Lin Yuan frowned, his tone tinged with suspicion: "Just because of this?"

Wen Xue forced a smile, looked up at her, and said in a casual tone, "When you have time to visit Yanjing in the future, I can be your tour guide."

Wen Xue had fantasized about staying by Lin Yuan's side forever.

But that day on the street, when she saw Lin Yuan and Chang Xingyu walking side by side, the adoration in the girl's eyes as she looked up pierced her heart like a thorn.

The two chatted and laughed, behaving intimately, clearly like lovers.

She shouldn't keep deceiving herself like this. The age difference between them is obvious, and there's no way she and Lin Yuan could ever have a future together. Their relationship is nothing but a shameful entanglement.

Perhaps it won't be long before Lin Yuan marries someone else and has children.

The transfer order from Xin Hua Society came suddenly; perhaps it was fate. Choosing to leave is the best outcome.

Lin Yuan's fingers dug deep into her soft skin, the force so great that Wen Xue couldn't help but groan, as if he wanted to brand a unique mark on her skin. Lin Yuan said coldly, "What if Principal Wen's body is fine?"

Wenxue frowned in pain, but still forced herself to explain, "The hospital has already confirmed it. I'm worried about my dad going to Yanjing alone. Besides, I've already made arrangements there. I'll go there as soon as Ju'an finishes his high school entrance exam."

Lin Yuan's face instantly darkened. He grabbed Wen Xue's chin, forcing her to look up at him: "You dare to decide to go to Yanjing without my permission?"

Wen Xue was in pain from being pinched. The two had known each other for almost ten years. She had seen Lin Yuan's gentle and affectionate appearance and his spirited smile, but she had never seen Lin Yuan with such a sinister expression.

She shook her head, equally reluctant to part, and gently stroked Lin Yuan's face with her palm. "You will meet a woman who is more beautiful and more suitable than me. I am just a passerby in your life..."

This woman actually chose to go to Yanjing for such a reason. She's not even forty years old yet, and she's already thinking about wasting resources. She's truly unforgivable.

Lin Yuan shook off her hand and sneered, "What do you mean by this? You're tired of playing around and just want to walk away? Did you get my permission?"

As soon as Lin Yuan finished speaking, he suddenly turned her over, the movement carrying an uncontrolled force, and a muffled thud echoed in the room.

Wenxue looked aggrieved and patted her bottom.

Her eyes welled up with tears, but she still patiently advised, "Don't be childish. Even if I stay, how long can this kind of life last? You'll get married and have children sooner or later. Rather than waiting until you're old and faded, I'd rather you remember me at my most beautiful now."

Lin Yuan didn't strongly object to Wen Xue going to Yanjing, since he would have many opportunities to travel to Yanjing in the future. He was just annoyed that she had made her own decision without consulting him at all.

If all my women acted like this from now on, wouldn't things be in complete chaos?

Lin Yuan said in a stern voice with a straight face, "I'm angry. I'm going to teach you a lesson this time."

In the evening, Wen Ju'an returned home from school.

Seeing Lin Yuan sitting on the sofa in the living room wasn't surprising. Lin Yuan often came to her home to help her with her studies.

I didn't see my mother. Did she go out again?
A tearing pain spread throughout Wenxue's body. She bit her lip, afraid to breathe loudly, and was quietly resting in bed.

Lin Yuan said, "Your mother has a fever today, so you'll have to cook dinner yourself."

Wen Ju'an was taken aback, then frowned and said, "I don't know how to do it." Over the years, although Wen Xue had been strict with her, she had always considered her needs in everything. She had never let Wen Ju'an lift a finger to do housework such as laundry and cooking.

"You're so old and you still can't cook? Look how good your mother is to you." Lin Yuan sighed. "Then go out and buy something to eat, and bring some back for your mother while you're at it."

Wen Ju'an hesitated for a moment, then asked softly, "Aren't you going to eat?"

Lin Yuan stood up and straightened his clothes: "I have to go back now. Your mother has been taking good care of you, and I'm sure you won't let her go hungry, right?"

After saying that, he walked straight to the door, opened it, and left, leaving the rest of the time to the mother and daughter who usually had a somewhat awkward relationship.

……

Lin Yuan then took some time to visit Wen Jingyu at the Wen family home. Unintentionally, Lin Yuan used his miraculous healing technique on him, which enabled him to recover quickly.

As the president of Nanjing University, Wen Jingyu has provided Lin Yuan with a lot of convenience at the university, so it is only right and proper for me to help him.

When Wen Jingyu feels better, he will likely not resign from his position as president of Nanjing University.

As the days went by, Ma Suqin's belly became noticeably protruding.

With Lin Yuan's meticulous care, Ma Suqin's health remained excellent throughout her pregnancy, and she experienced no discomfort.

On the other side, Wen Xue continued to cooperate with Lin Yuan's actions.

Thinking that such opportunities to spend time together would probably become fewer and fewer in the future, she was even willing to talk some nonsensical nonsense with Lin Yuan, which made Lin Yuan increase his attack speed.

That day, Lin Yuan arrived at Wen Xue's house carrying his guitar.

As the editor-in-chief of the newspaper, Wen Xue is always busy, but when she finishes her interviews and research, she can go home and rest for a while.

Seeing the guitar, curiosity flashed in her eyes: "Why did you bring a guitar?"

Lin Yuan smiled, took down his guitar, and strummed the strings to test the sound: "I wrote a song and wanted to play it for you."

Wen Xue's eyes lit up immediately, she nodded, and then looked at Lin Yuan with anticipation.

Lin Yuan held the guitar in his arms, his fingertips plucked the strings, and a soothing melody flowed out like a clear spring.

When you are old

"Hair has turned white"

Feeling drowsy and lethargic

When you are old

"I can't walk anymore."

"Nap by the fire"

"Remembering Youth"

How many loved your moments of glad grace?

"Is my admiration for your beauty genuine or feigned?"

"Only one person still loves your devout soul."

I love the wrinkles on your aging face.

……

When I'm old

I really hope so.

This song is for you.

Lin Yuan's fingertips glided gently across the strings, the notes flowing like a babbling brook, slowly washing over his heart.

Wen Xue listened quietly, her eyes slightly reddening.

She knew that Lin Yuan had specially written this song for her, and that every word of it was telling her: Don't be afraid of getting old, no matter how time changes her appearance, I will always love you for who you are.

"I regret leaving." Her voice trembled slightly.

Strangely enough, Wen Jingyu's angina pectoris miraculously recovered, and he is now preparing to continue serving as the president of Nanyang University.

The daughter, Wen Ju'an, was also extremely resistant to going to Yanjing.

As the time to leave drew closer, he felt increasingly reluctant to part with Lin Yuan, and now he felt that his initial decision had been too hasty.

Lin Yuan put down his guitar, his tone teasing: "I'll have plenty of opportunities to go to Yanjing in the future. Just wait to bathe, change clothes, and serve you in bed. Once you're my woman, you'll be forever. You can't escape me no matter where you go."

Wen Xue sighed softly, "Now that you mention it, I regret going to Yanjing even more."

But she also knew in her heart that it was no use to regret it. Things that had already been communicated with the organization could not be treated as child's play and changed arbitrarily.

"It's no use regretting it now. Who told you not to discuss it with me beforehand? How many soulmates can one have in a lifetime? In my heart, you will always have a place."

Wen Xue gave a soft "hmm". She naturally had no right to demand that Lin Yuan be with her for life. If Lin Yuan could always remember her, that would be enough.

Lin Yuan patted Wen Xue on the back, his voice softening with a touch of nostalgia, "I still remember the first time we were together, that thrilling, fulfilling feeling, I still remember it vividly to this day."

Wen Xue's face also showed a look of reminiscence. After many years, the quiet room welcomed guests again after a long time. How could she not remember it vividly?

After Wen Ju'an returned.

Lin Yuan tutored her in her studies.

Wen Ju'an looked aggrieved: "My mom wants to take me to Yanjing, but I don't want to go! Brother Lin Yuan, can you help me?"

"How can I help you?" Lin Yuan smiled helplessly. "You can't just let your mother go to Yanjing alone. You are her precious child. How can she leave you behind?"

Wen Ju'an shoved Lin Yuan's arm and said angrily, "All you do is defend my mother."

She buried her head in her homework, tears streaming down her face.

He hadn't written much when he suddenly slammed the book shut and threw it on the table.

The little girl glanced at Lin Yuan: "Does our agreement still stand?"

Plans can't keep up with changes. The two had initially agreed on whether Wen Ju'an could get into Jinling High School.

"If you do well on your exams, feel free to tell me what you wish for." After all, she is Wen Xue's daughter, and he would treat her well out of both kindness and reason. Seeing Wen Ju'an's hopeful expression, Lin Yuan added, "Except for not going to Yanjing."

Wen Ju'an gave a disgruntled snort.

For Wen Ju'an, going to Yanjing meant that he was getting further and further away from his father.

In the past, I could find some free time to secretly visit my father, but now that I'm in Yanjing, it will definitely become increasingly difficult.

Lin Yuan said softly, "I know you're reluctant to leave your dad, right? After you finish high school, you can come to Nanjing for university. Then you can take care of your dad yourself. If your mom doesn't agree to you going back to Nanjing for university, I'll help you persuade her."

"But that was three years..."

"It's not like you can't come back during holidays. You're a student, with long winter and summer vacations. Come back to Nanjing to see your family and friends. Can your mother stop you?"

Wen Ju'an nodded as if he understood but not quite.

"Keep doing your homework!" Lin Yuan tapped his textbook. "I'm impressed by you. I think your score is definitely high enough to get you into Jinling High School."

Wen Ju'an wrinkled her pretty nose, then suddenly grabbed Lin Yuan's arm and bit him on the web of his hand: "You underestimate me!"

……

Time flies by like a white horse.

June 18th, night.

Lin Yuan and He Qinghuan were waiting for Ma Suqin outside the operating room.

Having experienced too many such things, Lin Yuan was already indifferent to them.

As for how He Qinghuan found out...

As Ma Suqin's pregnancy became more and more obvious, it was naturally inconvenient for her to appear in public.

The two of them never intended to hide it from her.

After all, it would be more convenient for Ma Suqin, who is pregnant, to have a woman by her side.

As long as she doesn't spread it around, that's fine.

He Qinghuan is a smart and somewhat ambitious girl. With Lin Yuan's guarantee, she is naturally clear-headed, not to mention that Ma Suqin is her own aunt.

"Ma Suqin's family." A nurse carrying a newborn baby pushed open the door and came out.

He Qinghuan quickly stepped forward and asked, "Doctor, how is he?"

"Mother and child are safe. Boy, weighing 7.6 pounds."

He Qinghuan nervously took the swaddled baby. The baby's wrinkled little face was waving its fists and crying like a kitten.

She turned around and gently lifted the baby in front of Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan reached out and took it; he seemed to feel a strange bond of blood connection.
