"Sister, are you really not coming home with us for the New Year?"
A week before the Spring Festival, Gu Yueji stopped all her work and bought plane tickets home for Gu Jiahui and Sun Xiaohui. She is currently driving them to the airport.
“I’m not going back. I don’t want to have any unpleasantness with my parents during the Chinese New Year. Besides, I can’t leave your brother-in-law here alone for the New Year.”
Gu Yueji didn't mention going home for the New Year to Ren Jin. If she had, Ren Jin would definitely have gone back with her, but she wanted to spend the New Year happily with him.
Gu Jiahui wanted to bring Ren Jin home with him, but thinking about the absurd things his parents had done last time, like making Gu Yueji divorce and remarry, he figured Ren Jin probably didn't want to go back. Besides, his parents still thought of him as just a migrant worker, so they probably wouldn't treat him well if he went back. It was better if he didn't go back.
"What are your plans for the Chinese New Year, sister and brother-in-law?"
"I haven't decided yet. I'll discuss it with your brother-in-law when he's done with his work."
This year is the year Gu Yueji has given herself the most vacation. The garment factory workers will not return to work until after the Lantern Festival, so she asked Gu Jiahui to spend the Lantern Festival with his parents before coming over, and scheduled the live broadcast work after the Lantern Festival, so she had nearly a month of vacation.
After dropping Gu Jiahui off and returning home, Gu Yueji ate lunch alone at the construction site, and then lay down on the bed to take a nap, something she rarely does.
However, she lay there for nearly an hour, unable to fall asleep. She opened her phone but couldn't find any entertainment apps, and she couldn't even scroll through her phone.
She lay sprawled out, staring at the ceiling, and realized how boring it was not to work.
Unable to bear it any longer, she called Ren Jin.
"Honey, what's wrong?" Ren Jin's phone rang loudly on the other end; the construction site was working hard to finish before the holiday.
"Are you occupied?"
"No, I just came to check on the construction progress. What's wrong? Did you take Jia Hui and the others to the airport?" He must have walked to another place, where the rumbling sound was getting quieter.
"It was delivered this morning."
As the environment quieted down, Ren Jin noticed that Gu Yueji's voice sounded muffled and asked with concern,
"What's wrong? Are you unhappy because you can't bear to part with your brother?"
"No way, don't really think I have a brother complex."
Ren Jin silently pursed his lips. She got up at 7 a.m. to pick him up and take him to the airport, providing him with a car service. He had never received such treatment before, but he didn't want to mention it to her, lest she accuse him of being a jealous person.
"Then why does your voice sound so listless?"
Ren Jin couldn't help but recall the time he had made a scene with her in the bathroom last night. Could she have caught a cold?
However, Gu Yueji said, "I feel so bored."
Ren Jin was taken aback. "Boring?"
When has Gu Yueji ever uttered the word "bored"? She keeps herself busy like a spinning top every day, only pausing briefly in his arms at night.
"I ordered takeout for lunch and wanted to take a nap, but I couldn't fall asleep. I also lost interest in scrolling through my phone. It's not even half a day of vacation, and I already feel like I can't take it anymore. What am I going to do with the rest of my vacation that lasts a month?"
Gu Yueji was really troubled. She even started thinking that she should continue live streaming during the holiday to keep herself occupied. However, her sudden appearance would not only make netizens feel strange, but it would also disrupt the couple live streaming style that Gu Jiahui and Sun Xiaohui had worked so hard to establish.
The more she thought about it, the more she felt she was going to go crazy during this holiday.
This was the first time Ren Jin had encountered someone who was unhappy even on vacation. "Why don't you come work at my construction site?"
Gu Yueji's eyes lit up. "What can I do there?"
Ren Jin chuckled softly, "To warm the bed."
Gu Yueji's newly ignited hope was extinguished. "Don't come back tonight! Stay at the construction site!"
Ren Jin laughed even harder, but said in surrender, "I was wrong. What do you want to do? I'll help you."
Gu Yueji bounced on the bed in frustration. "I don't know either. I just lie here all day like a pig being raised. What can you do to help me?"
Now that you mention it, I suddenly realized I can help you with something.
"What?"
"Why don't you take this time to rest and recuperate? I'll try my best to help you get your belly bigger."
Gu Yueji was taken aback.
When she went to a class reunion, she saw photos of her classmates' babies. The chubby little babies were so cute that she couldn't help but imagine what her and Ren Jin's child would look like. In addition, Situ Ying and Xiao Yao were clamoring to be godparents, so she had the idea of having a child again.
But she didn't mention it to Ren Jin. Wasn't he indifferent to matters concerning children before? Why did he suddenly take the initiative to say he wanted one?
"Do you want to be a father?" Gu Yueji asked.
Ren Jin didn't actually want a child right now; he just realized that he wasn't a childless couple. Having a child with Gu Yueji would make their family more complete, and he also wanted to enter another stage of life with Gu Yueji and experience different identities and roles.
"I want to see what a child with both of our genes would look like. Since my sperm quality is good now, why don't we have one soon?"
But having children will definitely be based on Gu Yueji's own wishes. "What about you? Do you want to be a mother now?"
Gu Yueji thought about her previous failed attempt to conceive with Ren Jin, "I'm thinking about it, but we haven't been able to conceive before, have we? Should I go get another medical checkup?"
Given Ren Jin's strong physique and the energy he had when he tormented her, Gu Yueji could only think of her own problems.
Ren Jin disagreed, saying, "If you're not feeling unwell, don't go. Having a child is a matter of fate, so don't put pressure on yourself. Didn't you say you were bored lately? I'm just giving you something to do."
Gu Yueji thought about it and realized that she could finally take a good rest this month. If she could conceive, it would be a great achievement.
She used to think she would wait until her job was stable before having children, but now she realizes that her job is only going to increase, and as long as she and Ren Jin have a good relationship, it doesn't matter when the child comes.
"Okay then, let's focus on trying to conceive this month!"
"Okay, I'll go home early tonight!"
