Chapter 55 55. When thinking of him, Jing Zhou suddenly wanted to kiss her. ...

Even though Mi Yanyan buried herself in the sheets with a pillow, she could not avoid the scene when their eyes met in the mirror.

All I remember is that Shi Jingzhou told her over and over how much he missed her during the days they were apart, and he held her tightly with both hands. He also said that if she dared to have a cold war with him again, he would punish her twice as much. Mi Yanyan said yes to everything in a daze.

He suddenly threw up the pillow and faced the person who was about to get into bed.

"You were the one who didn't go home first, so why am I the one who started the cold war?" she asked.

Be clear-minded, think carefully, and don't suffer any loss.

He threw away his robe and ran over to hug her, rubbing her in his arms to make sure she wouldn't run away before saying, "You didn't answer the phone, so I knew you were angry. What's the point of talking about something you haven't agreed on?"

"Is it settled now?" She didn't have the energy to struggle anymore, so she nestled in his arms and looked up to ask.

"Tomorrow."

Zhou Shu just replied to the message ten minutes ago. Li Xun clearly rejected Bei Fan and is currently negotiating with other team members.

Shi Jingzhou offered him double the price on the condition that the contract be signed tomorrow. He really didn't want to argue with Mi Yanyan about this matter anymore, and wanted to resolve it sooner so that he could feel at ease.

"It's quite fast." Mi Yanyan said this in a tone that showed she had almost calmed down. She stretched out her arm to touch the switch beside the bed.

Click. The room was plunged into darkness, and then I lay back on my pillow. The faint light from outside the curtains shone in, soft and quiet.

She was about to turn over when she heard Shi Jingzhou suddenly speak.

"Can you please stop thinking so badly of me when something happens to you?"

Her voice was faint and filled with resignation. She closed her eyes. "Hearing it from someone else's mouth has somewhat changed the meaning, but... I still apologize to you."

"I'm not asking you to apologize."

"But I did misunderstand. It was just a tirade, don't take it to heart."

"I'm used to it."

In the darkness, his hand was patted, neither lightly nor heavily.

Mi Yanyan pretended to suddenly understand and sighed, "Why am I always the first to give in?"

She said this, but her heart was thinking otherwise. After they got married, Shi Jingzhou really gave in to her and compromised for her in all matters big and small.

But most of the time, he likes to solve the problem first and then tell her. On the surface, it seems that he is arbitrary and does not respect her ideas, but the results are all the result of the most careful consideration.

After the cold war, Mi Yanyan just said a few random words and he accepted it all, continuing as if his mood was not affected at all.

This person.

Love to do, not to talk.

He is a simple-minded person who treats her well but doesn't say anything.

"You're giving in?" Shi Jingzhou clearly disagreed and smiled softly, "You should give in if I give you a way out, right?"

"Let's talk more in the future," Mi Yanyan suggested.

"As you say."

She curled her lips and snuggled into Shi Jingzhou's arms, thinking that this man was not as unkind as everyone said, and was quite negotiable.

"We won't interfere too much in Jianuo's future, but we will remove some of Li Xun's rights. He has made a lot of sacrifices over the years, and perhaps he really has difficulties, but he has also had thoughts that he shouldn't have," Shi Jingzhou stroked the end of her hair, "You should be more careful."

Mi Yanyan thought that Jianuo would soon change its owner and sat up in surprise, "Am I really going to be the boss's wife?"

A successful acquisition means absolute control. Shi Jingzhou shook his head: "You are the boss."

"I don't want to be a boss, I just want to be an unknown little doctor."

Mi Yanyan had a lot of grievances. Although Mingyuan's affairs were not under her control, she had to report twice a month. Now with Jianuo involved, she felt as if Shi Jingzhou was really not idle. He was busy with Ruisi's century-old development and had to find time to contribute to her.

The money on the books is getting more and more, and it has really become a constantly rolling number. Half a year ago, when I wanted to buy a small apartment, I was hesitant about the size. Now, as long as I make up my mind, it is not difficult to buy one.

Let’s be realistic, her husband didn’t buy Jianuo, and her most beautiful ideal was immediately shattered;

It’s dreamy, right? Her husband said to buy it, so she bought it.

Saying more would be hypocritical, so she could only rub his chin. "I still have to thank you." After saying this, afraid that he would ask for an immediate reward, she quickly added, "I have to go to Suzhou on a business trip early tomorrow morning. I have several surgeries that need support."

"Oh." Shi Jingzhou moved his body and leaned towards the head of the bed. Mi Yanyan's head was left empty and she moved over to lean against his chest.

"The roof of my senior's stable collapsed, breaking several horses' bones. Professor Fu has just been hired as a veterinary consultant for the Global Equestrian Championships, so this is a rare opportunity to observe."

When Professor Fu's name came up, Shi Jingzhou subconsciously asked, "Is your dean going too?"

After in-depth contact with Jianuo, Shi Jingzhou's perception of Xu Chang is no longer limited to "not open", but has evolved into a combination of many negative words such as "premeditated", "unyielding", and "pervasive".

Classmates from high school to university, if it weren't for studying abroad, their marriage would probably have been seamless. Furthermore, given his education and financial resources, his attachment to Jianuo certainly wasn't for technical training or personal gain.

"You mean Dean Xu?" Mi Yanyan brushed her hair, her fragrance lingering in the warm breeze, and replied softly, "He's going too. Teacher Fu specifically named him as the first assistant."

The answer she received was a snort from her nose, which was abrupt and funny.

Mi Yanyan didn't expect that this was the sound that Shi Jingzhou could make. She tilted her head back and smiled while pinching his nose.

The glasses were in the way, so she took them off. The moonlight shone sideways on his straight nose, and his eyes were long and cold, with a bit of childish stubbornness.

At this time, Mi Yanyan felt that the distance between them was closer, as if they were just a simple couple bickering and amusing themselves over trivial matters in life.

She turned around, lifted the duvet and draped it over her shoulders, then pulled the whole bed towards Shi Jingzhou, kneeling in front of him. Her long palace dress with a square collar and lace fluttered, her green sleeves were surrounded by fragrance, and her white clothes were covered with snow.

"Xu Chang and I have been classmates, friends, and colleagues since we were young." Mi Yanyan looked into his eyes, and her eyelashes fluttered, making her look even more alluring.

"I never thought of developing anything further with him," she added confidently.

No lover?

Shi Jingzhou tried to avoid looking puzzled, but Mi Yanyan still saw through it and asked softly, "What's wrong?"

"Is there no... regret between you?" Shi Jingzhou asked.

"Pity?"

Mi Yanyan puffed out her chest and sat on her lap, pondering this baffling question with considerable embarrassment. After a moment, she muttered, "We all feel a little regretful that the MRI equipment hasn't arrived yet."

“…”

After all, several customers have to go to neighboring hospitals for examinations these days, which wastes time.

Shi Jingzhou rubbed his temples with his thumb and sighed deeply.

The identity of the second suspect X was also released. Perhaps he was really worrying too much. That person had long since left Mi Yanyan's life and they did not interfere with each other.

"Why are you sighing?" She leaned on Shi Jingzhou and asked lazily.

"worry."

"What are you worried about?"

He pinched her waist hard, and Mi Yanyan cried out "ouch" and tried to pull his hand away.

Shi Jingzhou refused and held her tighter, his nasal voice, as if about to fall asleep, becoming fainter and brighter. "Please spend more time on me..."

After saying that, he fell asleep.

Mi Yanyan heard it and giggled while hiding in the quilt.

The next morning, before the alarm clock rang, Mi Yanyan was awakened by the laughter of children outside the window.

In a daze, I heard my parents stopping them from running too fast, saying that the road was slippery in the snow and they should not fall.

The sensitive nerves of the southerners were instantly aroused.

She grunted and sat up from the quilt. Seeing Jingzhou standing by the window, she moved the window slightly open.

Hearing the noise, he turned around and said with a faint smile, "I woke you up."

"It's snowing???" She couldn't hide her joy on her face after just waking up, and her hair was scattered on her shoulders.

Shi Jingzhou suddenly wanted to kiss her.

"Is it heavy? Is there any snow on the roof?" Before she could finish her words, the person at the window leaned over, holding the headboard with his hands, and gave her a good morning kiss on her lips.

"Oh, I haven't brushed my teeth yet..." Mi Yanyan turned her head away and rubbed his neck.

It was warm and had a lingering scent of bath water, the same scent as hers.

"Well, it just rained a while ago, so the roads might be difficult to walk on. Where are you meeting?"

"We've chartered a bus and we'll meet at the entrance to the Agricultural University."

Shi Jingzhou raised his phone from behind her head and pressed it, "It's still early, I'll take you there."

Mi Yanyan nodded, her nose circled around his collarbone, and she quickly jumped out of bed and ran to open the curtains in two steps, exclaiming "Wow" at the snow outside.

"Hurry up and put on your clothes." Shi Jingzhou called her.

"Okay." The house was equipped with floor heating. She walked barefoot to the cloakroom. She had packed her luggage for the past few days long ago. She stood in front of the closet with her arms folded, thinking about what to wear today.

It shouldn’t be too cold today. I just took out my velvet dress when it was pushed back.

"It's getting colder, wear more clothes."

"oh."

She reluctantly took the cardigan and jeans, and hesitated for a long time until she saw that Shi Jingzhou had no intention of retreating.

This is very troublesome.

Xie Churan sent a message very late yesterday, saying that he would take time out in the next two days to take her to the newly opened live house. However, something happened suddenly and we didn't have time to prepare before it was time to leave.

"Why don't you go downstairs and have breakfast first?" Mi Yanyan said with a smile on her face.

"Waiting for you."

My heart is dead.

Mi Yanyan simply pushed him downstairs and said, "Let's eat first."

Her palms were pressed against his back, and he didn't move at all. She leaned over in a daze and blinked.

Unexpectedly, Shi Jingzhou interrupted her thoughts directly, chuckled and pointed to the suitcase in the corner.

"I asked Aunt Chen to wash the things inside and put them in the cupboard. You are not allowed to wear them until the temperature in South City rises back to 30 degrees."

“…”

"Time, scenery, boat!"

He responded and turned around, looking at her with a smile on his face.

"It's not that you don't care about me..."

"I don't care. It's not good enough to help you clean it."

"It's winter now, 30 degrees Celsius, can't we wait until summer?"

He pondered for a moment and waved his hand. The fresh air switch on the wall lit up and the real-time temperature in the house showed 23.

"You can wear it at home."

“…”

Mi Yanyan stamped her feet in anger. She turned around and opened the closet. Everything was neatly arranged in the closet, not a single piece was missing. However, it was snowing heavily outside, and she really couldn't wear any of them.

Besides, this time I will be taught by Teacher Fu throughout the whole course, so I am afraid that I will have very little time to escape.

Shi Jingzhou was considering the weather, not refusing to let her wear it. He figured this was a concession; at least she didn't have to hide it anymore. He glared at him angrily and went downstairs.

Aunt Chen got some advice from Ye Qionghua and now starts to stew soup in the morning. She said that since the couple are not at home for dinner all day, they have to focus on supplementing nutrition at breakfast.

She drank a lot of supplements and fell asleep in the passenger seat. There were not many cars on the road in the snow, so they chatted without noticing. When they opened their eyes again, the gate of Agricultural University was right in front of them.

The familiar scene seemed like returning to college. Mi Yanyan looked at the students entering one after another and asked him with a smile, "Have you been to our school?"

"Yes," Shi Jingzhou nodded, "Ruisi R&D has a partnership with Agricultural University."

Mi Yanyan wanted to ask him to come visit her when she had the chance, but he acted like he was very familiar with the Agricultural University. "Yeah, you guys make veterinary medicine."

"It's too late today. Wait until you come back and take me for a closer look."

"You don't come here often."

"I haven't been here with you."

As he spoke, he took Mi Yanyan's hand that was hanging on the seat, stretched it out little by little, intertwined their fingers, and then put it back on his legs.

He looked ahead calmly, then turned to look through her, a smile hidden in his eyes.

Mi Yanyan suddenly felt that this was Shi Jingzhou's way of wanting to understand her past. He became more and more involved in her life, as if to make up for the beginning where they got on the bus first and bought the ticket later.

Her regrets in this marriage are being filled quietly.

The stitches are fine and dense, dense and sweet.

She leaned over, touched his shoulder, and said, "No problem."

Xu Chang was standing at the bus door chatting with students. He looked up and saw Shi Jingzhou's car. The three of them greeted each other through the glass.

At half past eight, the bus was about to be full and start.

"Then I'll be leaving. You'll be late for work." Mi Yanyan said as she unbuckled her seat belt.

The hand that had been withdrawn was grabbed again, and Shi Jingzhou said, "Come back and I'll pick you up."

She replied: "I'll message you when I get there."

Before getting on the bus, she stopped and turned to look. The black car was still parked there. She waved and went up to chat with a familiar classmate.

The bus started moving, and she looked again. Shi Jingzhou hadn't left yet. He only turned around and left when their bus was about to turn.

Some emotions emerged in her heart, and the laughter and joy in the carriage became background noise. She began to face her own thoughts.

She missed him before she even left.

==

Deep winter.

It was lunchtime when the group arrived at the racecourse. Mi Yanyan put away her headphones and looked over. Xie Churan was already waiting at the door with his arms open to her.

She is dressed in a dashing manner and is still handsome even after not seeing her for several years. Among the campus beauties of the previous two classes of the Agricultural University, this one is unique. She is not the delicate and pure type. She plays in a band and participates in activities. She has a smart short hair style, which makes boys attracted but also stops in their tracks.

The aura is too strong and it feels difficult to chase.

"Sister Ran, long time no see."

Xie Churan's hug turned into a stranglehold. With his 1.75 meter height, he easily carried Mi Yanyan inside. "How dare you say that? I haven't seen you send me a message in all these years."

Mi Yanyan knew she was in the wrong and explained with a smile: "I was worried that you would be busy."

The girl, no longer childish and immature, was now beautiful and bright, with a touch of charm. "Without you being so busy, I wouldn't have known you were married. If Old Madam Fu hadn't let it slip when she was drunk, I would have almost introduced you to someone."

"No, no," Mi Yanyan quickly evaded, "You can't introduce me to someone before I'm married. It's not suitable."

Xie Churan laughed at her for being useless.

"It's still the same as when I was in school. I get panicked when I hear a joke."

"I'm most afraid of you joking."

What was originally a joke finally came true, but unfortunately it didn’t have a good outcome and it hurt me.

"That was the year, why can't I remember it?" Xie Churan narrowed his eyes.

Mi Yanyan smiled brightly and replied, "That's right, I forgot too."

"Just forget it. Unimportant things should be forgotten!" The two walked in with a smile.

The welcoming banquet was held next to Xie Churan's horse farm, a luxurious villa with a lake view, with unique landscaping and extraordinary charm.

Mi Yanyan was not surprised. The Xie family was generous and had been doing business in Jiangnan for five generations, covering many businesses.

"The best equine hospital in the country has to be Chu Ran. They have extensive clinical experience in diagnosing and treating the musculoskeletal system, and these students from the Agricultural University can learn real skills."

Teacher Fu was speaking and all the students were listening attentively. Mi Yanyan was sitting in the audience and looked over, her young face full of curiosity.

Many years ago, when she first came to Chu Ran Racecourse, she, like them, sat nervously at the table, listening to Teacher Fu talk about lameness diagnosis, arthroscopy, fasciotomy and a series of orthopedic surgeries.

At the beginning of the same year, the temperature dropped sharply and it snowed heavily for two days.

The highway was closed and cleaned day and night, delaying the one-week field research and study trip by two days.

It was during these two days of doing nothing that she saw the man who had come from the snow and ice, exhausted.

If it happened again, she probably wouldn't stay here, and would leave resolutely no matter how strong the wind and rain were.

"Doctor Mi will be in charge of the foal's OCD. Eat more. You're not as strong as a horse."

"I know, Teacher Fu, I will never let you down on the operating table." Mi Yanyan's thoughts were brought back.

Although it was an exchange and learning activity, the intensity was no less than the busiest time in the hospital. After standing for a long time and returning to the room, Mi Yanyan's legs felt like a thousand pounds when she sat down.

Yu Wan called at the appointed time, knowing that Mi Yanyan had been living alone these days, and they had returned to the 40 to 50 minutes of phone calls they used to spend with each other in school.

Yu Wan: "Next week's New Year's Eve will be your first New Year in the Shi family."

Ye Qionghua has always been a democratic person. She had already discussed with Mi Yanyan whether to stay in Nancheng or go on vacation with the family. She was willing to do either, but she was only afraid of returning to the old house.

Don’t meet the old man’s black-faced Buddha during the New Year. After all, she is not liked either.

Mi Yanyan: "Just hide from the Shi family Buddha. Every time he looks at me, I think he saw something dirty."

"How did it get decided in the end? Logically, we should go back. After all, it's Chinese New Year."

"It's not decided yet." She certainly couldn't just say she didn't want to go back. It was somewhat impolite for married people to have so many opinions on such a big thing as the New Year and the holidays. "Just listen to them. It's just a meal. Just bear with it."

The noisy other side was rarely quiet. Yu Wan also had something on her mind. Mi Yanyan had long noticed that her bestie had been chatting with her far too frequently these days. "How are you? Have you explained everything to Qin Muchuan?"

"Same old."

Qin Muchuan has been very attentive recently. He often blocks the door of Ruisi after get off work. The plane ticket to Hong Kong on his phone also has a fixed return date, but he doesn't mention it as if it doesn't interfere with the other two things.

Yu Wan added, "A lot of things in his room have changed. He just bought new ones because he was afraid I'd find out."

Qin Muchuan's mother had been to their home several times and cleaned up the house without even saying hello. Not to mention the slightest clue, anyone with a blind eye could tell.

Yu Wan was sitting in a bar. She had deliberately avoided the familiar ones and went to a newly opened one in the west of South City. "Since he's leaving, he should at least give himself some time to recover. He keeps showing up every day to make his presence felt. If I hadn't seen his plane ticket, I would have thought he wasn't planning on leaving."

"Are you planning on not leaving?" Mi Yanyan asked tentatively.

"What are you thinking? Too naive. He can't make the decision in a family like theirs."

"Why don't you have a good chat."

"Let's talk about it later."

Yu Wan leaned alone at the bar, having drunk about five or six points. Her cashmere dress covered half of the high stool, and her wrist hung down on the edge of the wine glass. Every twenty minutes, she would wave at the men who came up to her.

"There are a lot of flies in the winter. It's hard to drink in peace even if you travel this far."

"Go back early and don't get drunk." Mi Yanyan did not forget to remind him, but she was also worried. The Qin family and the Shi family were no different. They could live a carefree and happy life secretly, but when something big happened, Shi Jingzhou could not take much control. The calendar showed the countdown to New Year's Eve, and she breathed a sigh of relief.

It was already past eleven o'clock, and Yu Wan hung up the phone to pay the bill. The young man at the bar smiled and said that he had already paid, waving his finger.

Yu Wan turned around, holding onto the bar. A few meters away, in a booth, Qin Muchuan was sitting alone, legs crossed, slumped in the sofa, looking over at her with an intoxicated and dazed look.

She smiled bitterly and threw away her handbag.

"You've been a drug detection dog before? You have such a sharp nose."

Qin Muchuan pulled the person into his arms and said, "I haven't replied to any of your messages. It's not because I'm worried that something might happen to you."

No matter what happens, the message will be sent even if he doesn't reply to the Moments. It is clear that I want to draw a clear line between us and cut the Gordian knot.

"If you hadn't shown up, nothing would have happened to me." Yu Wan couldn't stand Qin Muchuan's smiling attitude at all times. Even if he turned around and left tomorrow, he could still make people willingly fall into his trap tonight.

"Wanwan, can you please stop ignoring me?" he asked.

Yu Wan raised his head, his mouth filled with the sweet aroma of whiskey mixed with fruit, and his tone was filled with the bitterness that he couldn't get rid of.

"Sure," she smiled faintly and looked over, "Then can you not leave?"

"I'm not leaving yet, I'm sending you home?"

"No, those with hands and feet should go back to their own homes for safety."

Qin Muchuan rarely insisted and called a taxi for her. When he wanted to go up together, he almost got his hand pinched by the door.

Before going to sleep, Yu Wan did not forget Qin Muchuan's final answer, his evasive smile, and his long silence.

When she woke up in the morning, Mi Yanyan picked up her phone and saw dozens of voice messages sent by Yu Wan late at night.

When she opened the phone, all she could hear were cries, the sound of wind, cars and road horns. She listened carefully and tried to translate it into text, but she couldn't find a single complete sentence.

I called back but no one answered, so I tried to find Xiao Yichi. After hearing what he said, the person on the other end got up and went all the way to Yu Wan's house.

Sometimes I think that feelings are also wonderful.

I just had a problem with falling in love with Qin Muchuan. Even though I knew I couldn't go all the way with him, I still took a step forward. When I came to my senses, I was nothing but sad and upset.

So boring.

Xiao Yichi replied, saying that he had arrived downstairs in the community and asked her not to worry.

There was still surgery today, so Mi Yanyan forced herself to be strong and prepared to go to the restaurant with her heart in turmoil.

When I reached the door and looked down, I realized I was still wearing the slippers from my room.

"Yan Yan, are you okay?"

She turned her head at the sound.

A figure leaned against a stone pillar with his arms folded. His peach blossom eyes were more affectionate than before. Even without smiling, unidentified emotions could be seen flowing from his eyes.

Xie Jingyang had the same expression when he was here before, which made Mi Yanyan panic.
