Rose Manor

During this year's Mid-Autumn Festival, Shen Jia Nian was unable to accompany Fu Jichen back to her old home for a reunion dinner. She had a public performance to perform, so she had to collaborate with her teacher Yan Qiusheng.

Half a month in advance, word spread on the Internet that Shen Jia Nian was going to participate in Capital TV's Mid-Autumn Festival Gala.

"The last time there was news about her was in July. Some netizens happened to meet her and Fu Jichen while playing in Paris. How can we, the fans who are waiting for food, live without raising eyebrows!"

"Eh? Didn't Shen Jianian's symphony orchestra have a concert last month? It's not easy for fans to see her. They can just buy tickets and go to see her live."

"I can't get a ticket! I can't get one at all!"

"Damn! The latest news is that Shen Jianian will perform on the same stage as her teacher Yan Qiusheng. I can't imagine what a grand audio-visual feast it will be!"

"Blessed are those who can go and see it live."

"I've set the alarm, moved the bench, and sat down to wait!"

"Okay, okay, Capital TV, if we can invite Yan Qiusheng and Shen Jianian, the ratings will be stable."

"Capital TV came out to be praised! You are really amazing! [Thumbs up] [Thumbs up]"

At this moment, in the busy studio backstage, Shen Jianian was sitting in front of a makeup mirror studded with light bulbs. She was wearing a dark blue velvet dress and a cashmere shawl. A stylist next to her was making final adjustments to her makeup. She picked up the mobile phone on the table and sent a message to Fu Jichen.

Shen Jianian: "My program is scheduled for the first half and is expected to end at nine o'clock. After that, I will have a dinner with the teacher and several of the teacher's friends. I may not be able to make it back to my old house for the reunion dinner."

Fu Jichen sent her a photo. It was in the dining room of his old house. It was decorated. There were several dishes on the table and a bottle of red wine was opened.

Fu Jichen: "Get ready to eat. I'll pick you up later."

Shen Jianian: "Okay! Remember to help me explain to grandpa that my absence was not intentional."

The Mid-Autumn Festival is a day for family reunion. The old man pays attention to the rituals of traditional festivals and hopes that the younger generations can put down their work and come back to reunite, eat moon cakes, drink tea, and admire the moon together.

Fu Jichen: "I've told grandpa, he can understand."

Shen Jianian: "[kiss]"

After sending the emoticon, Shen Jianian saw "The other party is typing" displayed at the top of the phone screen. After waiting for a while, she did not receive a reply from Fu Jichen.

Shen Jianian then concluded: "I'm going to start preparations, see you later."

Fu Jichen: "[kiss]"

Shen Jianian stared at the emoticon sent by Fu Jichen and was stunned for two seconds. The emoticon he sent was exactly the same as the one she just sent him. This man hasn't responded to the message for a long time. Could it be that he saved her emoticons and sent them to her? Shen Jianian was amused by his guess.

At nine o'clock in the evening, the performance ended successfully.

Shen Jia Nian got into the business car driven by Yan Qiusheng's assistant and headed to the dinner venue.

I came here for rehearsal in the morning and had a working meal from the TV station for lunch. I don’t know whether it was because of being too tired or for other reasons. Shen Jia Nian didn’t have much appetite and didn’t eat much. Before he even got to the dinner place, his stomach was growling with hunger.

Yan Qiusheng was leaning on the back of the chair with his eyes closed to relax when he was disturbed by a growling sound from his stomach. He opened his eyes and sat upright.

When Shen Jia Nian heard the slight creak of the leather seat, he guessed that the person next to him who was catching up on his sleep had woken up. He turned his head and met Yan Qiusheng's warm and loving eyes, and his face turned red.

"Didn't you have lunch?" Yan Qiusheng asked with a smile.

Shen Jianian was very reserved in front of her elders. When asked by the teacher, she smiled shyly and said, "I have a bad appetite. I only took a few bites."

"Eat more when we have dinner together later. The food in this restaurant we ordered is good."

"it is good."

Entering the reserved luxury box, Shen Jianian saw Bai Changxia, whom he hadn't seen for more than half a month. After being stunned for a moment, a smile overflowed from his eyes.

Bai Changxia seemed to have known she would come here for a long time, and he waved to her with curved eyebrows.

Shen Jianian walked over and sat in the empty seat next to her. He turned his head and asked softly, "Why are you here?"

"The manager of our orchestra is a friend of Teacher Yan. I was talking to her nearby tonight. She said there was a dinner party here and asked me to accompany her. I thought you would not be absent from Teacher Yan's dinner, so I followed her. Come here to have a meal." Bai Changxia pointed to the large TV in the private room, "I just saw your performance with Teacher Yan, and you performed so well. How can you be so stable when competing with Teacher Yan on the same stage? So silky, given time, you will be the next Yan Qiusheng!"

Afraid of being overheard, Shen Jianian pushed her and told her to restrain herself: "Stop flattering me!"

Bai Changxia smiled and changed the subject: "Where's your boss Fu, didn't he come with you?" "There is a reunion dinner at the old house. I can't go. It would be a shame if he doesn't show up." Shen Jianian He picked up the cup and took a sip of water, "But he said he would pick me up later."

Bai Changxia winked: "How sweet."

"Where's the one in your family?"

"I'm on a business trip to the United States and won't be back until tomorrow."

After chatting for a while, people started to arrive in the box one after another. Some of the big names in the industry had only heard their names. Shen Jia Nian had never seen them in real life. After being introduced by Yan Qiusheng, Shen Jia Nian greeted them politely.

Not long after, the food was served, and a group of people chatted while eating. The topics they talked about were all professional-related, and Shen Jia Nian listened with great interest.

Yan Qiusheng still remembers that she was so hungry in the car that her favorite dish was served. Yan Qiusheng was afraid that she would be embarrassed in front of her elders, so he took the initiative to put the dish in front of her.

Shen Jianian gave the teacher a grateful smile and picked up the chopsticks to pick up the food. He was very hungry, but for some reason, he felt a little nauseous after eating a few mouthfuls, similar to the situation at noon.

She was scrupulous about table manners and tried not to show it in front of others, but she couldn't hide it from Bai Changxia, who was closest to her. When she felt nauseous again and raised her hand to cover her lips, Bai Changxia quickly put down his chopsticks without disturbing the others at the table. He lowered his voice and asked her, "What's the matter? Are you feeling unwell?"

Shen Jianian shook his head gently and motioned for her to keep quiet. Those present were all well-known figures in the music and art circles. It was not easy to get together once a year. She couldn't let her little condition ruin everyone's fun.

"Shall I accompany you to the bathroom?" Bai Changxia suggested.

Shen Jia Nian thought for a while, but did not refuse. He left the table temporarily and went outside without using the bathroom in the box.

There was no one in the corridor. Bai Changxia no longer spoke in a low voice and asked, "Did you eat something bad?"

"It shouldn't be..." When Shen Jianian opened his mouth to speak, his stomach suddenly churned. He couldn't help but vomit and walked faster to the bathroom.

It was just nausea and retching, but nothing was vomited. Shen Jianian struggled for a while, his face turned a little pale, and he rinsed his mouth with warm water in his hands.

Bai Changxia looked on anxiously and couldn't help. He was about to say that he would go to the hospital if it didn't work out. Suddenly he thought of something and took a breath: "Jianian, could you be..." When the words came to his lips, She didn't say it, but changed the question and asked her first, "When did you get your period?"

Shen Jia Nian's menstrual period was fairly accurate. After counting the days, he found that it had not come this month and was delayed by about ten days. Since she was busy preparing for the Mid-Autumn Festival Gala recently, she didn't pay much attention.

"The last time I came here was almost forty days ago."

Bai Changxia became more convinced of his guess, and said what he had not finished just now: "I said, you must have it, right?"

Shen Jianian held the edge of the sink with both hands and slowly stood up straight. His eyes shifted from the mirror in front of him to Bai Changxia's face, with a blank expression.

When Bai Changxia saw this, he smiled.

Just now he was worried that she was not feeling well, and now he speculated that she might be pregnant. Bai Changxia's mood was naturally different, and he was already thinking about joking.

"You don't know whether you and Boss Fu have taken any measures."

Shen Jia Nian looked confused and blinked a few times. She took the time to do a targeted examination last month, and Fu Jichen accompanied her. The test results came out and she was shown to the doctor. The doctor said that she was in good health and there was nothing wrong with her.

After that, the safety measures were no longer in place, and it seemed reasonable to have children...

Bai Changxia smiled and asked, "How about you test it now?"

"How...how to test?" Shen Jianian raised his eyelids in confusion.

Bai Changxia brought a bag with her when she came out of the box. She put her hand into the mezzanine, fumbled around for a while, took out a pregnancy test stick and handed it out: "Here, here you go. It's quick, the results will be out in a few minutes."

Shen Jianian stared at the pink and white thing in her hand, almost biting her tongue in surprise: "Why do you carry... this with you?"

Bai Changxia touched his nose and looked at the ceiling: "Last month, my period was postponed for five days. I was so scared that I immediately went to the drugstore and bought a few pregnancy test sticks to test. Who knew it was an error. Moreover, I finished the test My period came that afternoon. I still had a few bottles left, so I threw them into my bag."

Shen Jia Nian pursed her lips and hesitantly reached out to take the pregnancy test stick. Under Bai Changxia's encouraging and urging gaze, she turned and walked into the toilet cubicle.

Bai Changxia was waiting for her in the corridor. After a while, he heard no movement. He raised his hand and knocked on the door of the cubicle. He asked kindly: "Can you use it?"

"...I am literate, eldest sister."

Shen Jianian's slightly speechless voice came from inside.

Bai Changxia laughed, continued to wait, and chatted with her: "I think it's 90% possible! Shen Jianian, you are going to be a mother. Thinking about it, you can't help but sigh, time flies so fast."
