Chapter 84

Shi Ye never loses his pen. Every time he gets off work, there will magically be a few more pens in his pocket.

Therefore, there is always a famous saying circulating among the interns’ group.

"If you can't find your pen, go look for it at Shi Ye's place."

Shi Ye didn't ask any more questions, but nodded calmly: "Then please trouble Teacher Jiang to prepare a lock for me."

…

After dinner, Shi Ye put the dishes into the dishwasher and Jiang Zhinian followed.

In fact, she felt a little sorry that Shi Ye always took care of all the housework, which made her feel a little guilty.

"I will be responsible for putting the dishes into the dishwasher from now on." The dishwasher under the sink can be operated by standing directly without bending over, which will be very convenient for her even if she is pregnant in the future.

"No, I'll do it."

"But I also want to share the housework." She knew that Shi Ye was taking care of herself, but within her ability, she also wanted to be a part of this family and contribute her own efforts. "We are a family of two. I can't let you do all the housework."

Just like thousands of ordinary families in this world, husband and wife share the housework. No one is a slave in the marriage, so naturally they have to serve the other.

She doesn't like this. She likes a family that supports each other. Each person is a tree in the family, sharing the sunshine and facing the wind and rain.

Shi Ye turned off the dishwasher and looked back at her: "But I can't get pregnant."

"What?"

Shi Ye wiped his hands clean and gently poked her soft belly: "You are pregnant, and I take care of you. We each shoulder our respective responsibilities in the family. This is fair."

Jiang Zhinian hadn't thought of this. In her opinion, a woman's pregnancy was a very normal and natural thing. She had never regarded it as a "household chore".

"Is pregnancy considered housework?"

Shi Ye raised his hands and hugged her, letting her back rest gently on the white tiles of the kitchen. "Of course, if you don't believe me, you can start a poll online and ask male friends whether they would rather wash dishes or get pregnant."

It is foreseeable that the voting result will be that no man is willing to choose to be pregnant, just like in "Journey to the West" where Tang Monk and his disciples accidentally drank the river water of the Kingdom of Women and became pregnant, and everyone was as nervous as if they were facing a great enemy.

"So, don't underestimate the contribution your pregnancy makes to the whole family. No amount of housework can compare to that."

Jiang Zhinian raised his head tremblingly, his eyes like raindrops hitting branches on a spring night, looking at Shi Ye wetly, then he raised his feet to hold his neck, leaned into the crook of his neck, and whispered: "..."

Shi Ye was stunned, as if he didn't hear clearly: "What did you call me?"

Jiang Zhinian's cheeks flushed red, and after teasing him, he wanted to run away: "Forget it if you didn't hear it."

Shi Ye exerted a little force on his hands, and the slender waist that had not yet bulged was grasped in his hands. Jiang Zhinian was trapped in the other person's arms and had nowhere to go.

"Call me again..." Shi Ye lowered his head and sniffed the fragrance beside her ear.

Trembling all over her body, Jiang Zhinian bit her lip and whispered, "Husband..."

Although she was shy and immature, Shi Ye still tasted a hint of tenderness and obsession from the gentle whisper between her lips.

The night was deep outside the window. At this moment, Jiang Zhinian seemed to have merged into the soft moonlight. She was not as pure and gentle as she was during the day, but she had a bit more shy charm that was watered by love and was about to bloom.

Shi Ye raised his hand and lifted the hair that was scattered by her ear: "Don't call me like that normally."

Jiang Zhinian opened her red lips slightly, puzzled: "Why..."

With his lips pressed against her earlobe, he whispered in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "I'm afraid I can't help it..."

The last few words entered his ears, shocking Jiang Zhinian so much that he turned his head away and could no longer listen.

"Then I just don't usually call."

Shi Ye laughed and let go of his hands.

…

The day before the Lantern Festival, Shi Ye received a message from Wang Bo saying that he and Miaomiao had obtained their marriage certificate and would treat his brothers to dinner in the evening.

Jiang Zhinian listened to the book and was a little surprised: "So fast?"

She thought that according to the plot of the TV series, there would be more than ten episodes of chasing the husband to the crematorium, explanations, misunderstandings, reconciliation, and then the happy ending and marriage.

Shi Ye asked her: "If you don't want to go, you can wait for me at home. I'll show up and come back."

"I'm not reluctant to go." She was very willing to go and see Shi Ye's Peng Yu.

"You don't mind her provocations before?"

When Jiang Zhinian mentioned this, he raised his eyebrows and said with a little pride: "I have forgiven her magnanimously."

"oh?"

"Really? I really think... how should I put it, it's not a big deal." Jiang Zhinian really didn't take it to heart. She was busy with too many things every day, and there were some things and people that didn't need to be held accountable. "Besides, you can't say that just because someone provoked us, I'm going to make her kneel at the door for three days and three nights. It feels a bit weird."

Instead of worrying about these things, she would rather live her own life well and take good care of her own family. As for other people... she doesn't need to care too much and naturally won't dwell on how the other person has wronged her.

Jiang Zhinian felt that she was not an open-minded person, but she was not one who held grudges. Simply put, she was not that quick-tempered. She would let things go if they could be let go, and would not keep them in her mind to torture herself, such as thinking about revenge over and over again, or hoping that the other party would suffer misfortune. Otherwise, based on her past experience, she might have become depressed a long time ago.

Shi Ye touched her head and said, "Then let's go together."

"They are getting married, so should we give them a red envelope?"

After the last dinner, I heard that they had no plans for a wedding for the time being, so everyone actually gave them red envelopes privately.

"They should be having a wedding, let's wait until the wedding."

Jiang Zhinian felt a little longing after hearing about the wedding.

She began to imagine that scene: "Maybe they will hold the wedding in April or May, when the weather is neither too cold nor too hot, which is the most suitable for an outdoor wedding."

"Do you like outdoor weddings?"

Jiang Zhinian was afraid that if they continued talking about this topic, Shi Ye would think that she was unhappy about not having a wedding, so she quickly shook her head.

"No, I just like attending other people's weddings. If I had to do it myself, I would find it expensive and troublesome."

In Yongning, holding a decent wedding, from venue decoration to wedding banquet, from photography and videography to wedding dress, would cost at least 100,000 yuan in total, and it had to be planned three months in advance. She and Shi Ye had no parents to help them, and they would have a child later, so they would not be able to take care of it all, both in terms of energy and financial resources.

It’s better to save money on unnecessary things like this.
