Let's talk about Chapter 39 next year.

In the blink of an eye, only the two of them remained in the room. Zhang Pengfei was a little uneasy: "Chen Jingyang, I... I'm a patient, I'm telling you, don't do anything reckless! My stomach is still hurting!"

Chen Jingyang sat on the bed, dipped a cotton swab in the saline solution, and laughed, "Baby, what are you thinking? Even if you told me to do something reckless, I wouldn't dare! Come on, open your mouth."

Zhang Pengfei felt that these words coming from Chen Jingyang's mouth had a slightly frivolous tone!

But he dared not make any big moves, so he opened his mouth with some doubt.

Chen Jingyang moistened the cotton swab and, following the nurse's instructions, slowly moved it inside his mouth. He was very focused, applying the swab evenly, carefully, and meticulously, as if he were sculpting a work of art.

The damp cotton swab, carrying a slight coolness, brushed against my mouth, like opening a window in a stuffy room.

After applying the ointment, Chen Jingyang withdrew his hand: "How does it feel? Are you feeling better?"

Zhang Pengfei nodded: "Hmm, can I apply it again? It doesn't feel quite right, it still feels a bit uncomfortable."

"Okay!" Chen Jingyang said, but he didn't do it. He took a few sips of salt water to rinse his mouth, and before Zhang Pengfei could react, he leaned down slightly and kissed his lips.

It carried the warmth of Chen Jingyang's body and a hint of sweetness.

Like a gentle spring rain, it silently nourishes the parched land.

Like gentle breezes caressing the willows, they slowly blow across my chapped fingertips.

Zhang Pengfei had never known that Chen Jingyang's kisses could be so gentle, so intoxicating, so submissive, and so easy to take.

This was the first time since they started dating that Zhang Pengfei had taken the initiative to put his arm around Chen Jingyang's neck and refused to let go!

At that moment, he let his instincts take over, forgetting the time, the place, and even who he was!

It was as if all things had returned to nothingness, the world had returned to chaos, heaven and earth were no more, time had ceased to exist, and a moment was eternity!

Only when the abdominal pain gradually intensified did Zhang Pengfei reluctantly release Chen Jingyang.

The two were only inches apart, close enough to feel each other's breath. Chen Jingyang's hand was on the bed, his eyes bright like a moon reflected in a deep pool, shining clear and bright: "Baby? Are you feeling better?"

Much better. The burning and sticky sensation in his mouth caused by dehydration had subsided considerably, but Zhang Pengfei was too embarrassed to say it. He slightly raised the corners of his lips, pursed his lips tightly, and turned his head away in embarrassment.

Chen Jingyang immediately grew bolder, pressed his face close to Zhang Pengfei's, took his hand, and said impatiently, "Baby, I've missed you so much! Can I hug you?"

Zhang Pengfei's hand trembled, and he couldn't help but turn to look at him!

"You...!" Chen Jingyang really left him speechless!

He reached out and pulled the blanket over his head, looking utterly disgusted: "Get out of here! I'm a patient!"

Chen Jingyang pulled the blanket open a crack and carefully rubbed his forehead against the person's: "Baby."

"You motherfucker...!" Luckily, Zhang Pengfei was feeling unwell and dared not move too much, otherwise he would have kicked Chen Jingyang away!

Seeing that he was about to make the other person anxious, Chen Jingyang quickly explained, "I won't touch you, it's really just a hug, okay?"

Seeing that Zhang Pengfei was still reluctant, Chen Jingyang pressed his waist and hissed in breath.

Zhang Pengfei glanced at him: "What's wrong with you now?"

Chen Jingyang forced a wry smile: "Baby, you don't know, I was especially busy today. In order to get off work before Huahua got out of school, I didn't stand up once I sat down. I didn't even have time to drink water. I've been sitting for too long, and my back is starting to hurt."

Zhang Pengfei looked him up and down, but he didn't think it looked like him! Nevertheless, he moved to the side.

The single bed in the hospital wasn't spacious enough for one person to sleep on. Chen Jingyang was tall and strong, and when he lay down, he took up two-thirds of the bed. Zhang Pengfei felt that the bed had sunk several centimeters!

"Won't this bed get crushed?"

"No, don't worry!" Chen Jingyang lay down on his side, gently wrapped his arms around Zhang Pengfei, pressed his face against the other's arm, let out a long sigh, and said with satisfaction, "Baby, I didn't sleep a wink last night without you by my side."

Who isn't?

"Baby, there's something I'd like to discuss with you."

"Um."

Chen Jingyang was silent for a moment: "But you have to promise me first that no matter what I say, you won't be in a hurry. Listen to me. I really am discussing this with you this time."

"Okay, go ahead and say it, I'm not in a hurry."

Chen Jingyang grasped Zhang Pengfei's hand and gently stroked the back of his hand: "Baby, I still hope you can come work for our company."

He paused for a moment, making sure Zhang Pengfei wanted to hear, and continued, "Our company is now a key enterprise and has been recognized by the Municipal Economic and Information Commission. We have a quota for settling down. After you settle down, Huahua can also settle down, which will make everything much more convenient for her in the future."

Seeing that Zhang Pengfei remained silent, Chen Jingyang continued, "I know you want to join a law firm, but that's not a problem. You can join a law firm after you've settled your household registration."

"Or, if you want to take the civil service exam, I can help you find a way, but the competition is fierce now, and I don't think your personality is suitable for the officialdom."

Zhang Pengfei remained silent, and Chen Jingyang, a little nervous, said, "Of course, if you want to continue with postgraduate studies, that's fine too. After all, for law majors, the higher the degree, the better. But this doesn't conflict with settling down. What do you think? Which one do you choose?"

It seems that being kicked half to death by Chen Jingyang this time wasn't entirely without its benefits.

To make up for his guilt, the man actually conceded and agreed to let him go to the law firm.

Moreover, it seems that Chen Jingyang has already planned out his future. But will he really be able to live his future as Chen Jingyang has planned?

Can he really be tied to Chen Jingyang?

What should Dou Qiaoyun do?!

People are the most fickle. Even the most devoted couples experience the seven-year itch. How long can Chen Jingyang's initial excitement for him last?

Throughout history, countless passionate loves, even those that seemed destined to last until the seas dry up and the rocks crumble, or the mountains crumble and the heavens and earth unite, have been defeated by the passage of time. Even Emperor Xuanzong of Tang, who was the most powerful man in the land, could not fulfill his love at Mawei Slope!

He was just an ordinary man, unable to bear children for Chen Jingyang or help him rise to the top. What merit did he have to dare to hope that he could keep Chen Jingyang's heart for a lifetime?

Moreover, Chen Jingyang had repeatedly reminded him to remember his identity, so he could only be a dog by Chen Jingyang's side!

He absolutely could not entrust the rest of his life to Chen Jingyang!

Zhang Pengfei exhaled softly: "It's too early now, let's talk about it next year."

If Dou Qiaoyun recovers well next year, perhaps we can find a less expensive place to do rehabilitation.

Perhaps he could find a job elsewhere and leave Beijing...
