After they finished their midnight snack, they returned to their room on the third floor. After closing the door, Su Tiantian hugged Liu Jingze from behind. Her arms were around his waist, and her face was pressed against his broad back: "Brother Jing, thank you for today."
Liu Jingze placed his hand on the back of Su Tiantian's hand, and the warmth from his palm passed on, bringing a tingling sensation. His hand was warm and dry, and a gentle, low voice rang out: "Hearing you call me Brother Jing makes everything I do worthwhile. Your father used to be my Uncle Su, and now he is my father-in-law. Regardless of who he is, what I am doing today is what I should do."
Su Tiantian said: "I'm embarrassed to call you Brother Jing when there are others around. We are all grown up."
Liu Jingze's tone was filled with dissatisfaction: "When you were in elementary school, before you even grew up, you didn't want me to call you Tiantianmei. Now you don't want me to call you that when there are people around."
Su Tiantian's tone was filled with regret: "Thinking back then, I treated you like this just to avoid the gossip of my classmates. I didn't let you call me Tiantian sister, and I missed out on so many warm moments. I really regret it."
Liu Jingze turned around and kissed Su Tiantian on the forehead tenderly: "Don't regret it, you will still be my sister Tiantian in the future. You are tired today too. It's past eleven o'clock. Hurry up and take a shower and go to bed. You have to get up at six o'clock tomorrow morning. Grandma needs to have breakfast at half past six. You have to go to the hospital to see your father-in-law at around seven o'clock and return to the company at around eight o'clock. I really don't want you to work so hard."
Su Tiantian said, "It's not hard at all. It's a rare opportunity for me to have breakfast with grandma. You help with Dad's affairs. As for work, it's not like I haven't worked overtime before."
After they washed up and leaned against the headboard of the bed, it was already past midnight. Su Tiantian said, "Brother Jing, happy birthday. This is a gift from me to you. I wonder if you like it."
Liu Jingze took the gift box. The small box probably contained jewelry. He opened it and said, "You are my best gift. I like whatever you give me." In the box was a gold-inlaid jade gourd with a gourd bracelet, large Hetian jade beads, the jade was oily and clear, the gold-inlaid jade gourd was exquisite, and the gold gourd was majestic.
Su Tiantian was a little embarrassed. "I really don't know what gift to give you. I've never been in a relationship before, and I'm getting married to you so suddenly. This bracelet was chosen by my best friend Qiaoyi's husband. The gold-inlaid jade gourd symbolizes attracting wealth and good fortune, and the gold gourd plaque symbolizes good luck and peace. He said this bracelet makes the wrist look elegant. He said that people who truly love each other value the most the gift of love."
Liu Jingze said, "He's right. Next time, introduce your best friend's husband to me. This bracelet isn't cheap, it's thoughtful and valuable. Thank you, my sister Tiantian, for putting it on me."
Su Tiantian said as she helped Liu Jingze put on the bracelet, "It's so hard to choose a gift for you. You have everything you need."
Liu Jingze looked at the bracelet, it looked nice, and whispered, "I told you that you are my best gift. I like whatever you give me."
Liu Jingze was already awake before the alarm went off. He usually woke up at 5:45, his biological clock already in place. The warm yellow light from the wall lamp shone on Su Tiantian's cheeks and exposed collarbone. Her long, thick eyelashes trembled with her breathing. Looking at Su Tiantian sleeping peacefully, he had no intention of waking her. The alarm would go off at 6 o'clock, so he let her sleep a little longer.
At 6:30 in the morning, when the couple arrived at the dining room downstairs, Grandma Lu, Liu Zhaosheng and Liu Liangjie were already there.
"Good morning, Grandma, Dad, and Godfather." The couple called out in tacit understanding.
Grandma Lu said, "Jingze, Tiantian, sit down and have breakfast. I know about Jinyuan's situation. He will be discharged from the hospital in a few days. Don't worry too much."
Su Tiantian said: "I see, thank you grandma."
Liu Zhaosheng said, "Liangjie, when you go to the hospital to see Tiantian's father, please buy me a fruit basket to bring back."
Su Tiantian quickly said, "Godfather, no need, and Dad can't eat fruit now."
Liu Liangjie said, "I'll ask Ah Xi to buy it."
Liu Jingze said, "Tiantian, this is a kind gesture from my godfather. Oh, and I've already sent breakfast to Zhihao. My father-in-law is feeling better now. I'm going to go run some errands with my godfather, and then visit him at the hospital this afternoon. Ah Xi will take you to work, and someone will pick you up after get off work."
Su Tiantian said: "Brother Jing, I know."
After breakfast, Liu Jingze received three red envelopes. These were given by his grandmother, father, and godfather. They were given every year on his birthday. Of course, the money had to be handed over to his wife for management, so after returning to the room, Su Tiantian opened the red envelopes openly. The amount in each red envelope was 800 yuan.
Liu Jingze said: "It's been like this for the past few years. Dad said he didn't know what gift to buy, so he gave me a red envelope for good luck, which was great."
Su Tiantian said: "The thoughts of the elders are the most important."
When we arrived at the hospital ward, it was almost eight o'clock. Sang Yimei and Li Yunling had already arrived, but Su Zhihao had not left the hospital yet. The environment in the single room was nice.
Su Jinyuan had already laid down and leaned against the headboard. Although his complexion was not good, he was in much better spirits. Liu Liangjie came forward and asked with concern: "Jinyuan, how are you? Are you feeling better?"
Su Jinyuan said, "Much better."
Su Tiantian said: "Dad, does the wound hurt? Are you hungry? You can't eat yet."
Su Jinyuan said: "The wound hurts a little, but I'm not hungry. Maybe I got a lot of injections, so I don't feel hungry."
Holding Wu Xilun and putting down the fruit basket, Sang Yimei said: "Brother Liang, it's good that you come to see Jinyuan, and you also bought some fruit."
Liu Liangjie said: "Jingze's godfather bought it, I didn't buy it. Why should I buy it? I paid for it."
After saying that, he took out the prepared money and stuffed it into Su Jinyuan's hand: "Don't push it back and forth. It's customary to give some money when visiting a patient. It's only a few hundred yuan, not much."
After hearing this, Su Jinyuan, who had been Liu Liangjie's friend for decades, had no choice but to accept the money.
Li Yunling walked over to Sang Yimei and whispered, "I'm going to the factory first."
Sang Yimei said, "A Ling, thank you for your hard work. If you have any questions, call me. Zhihao, you haven't slept all night. Go back and get some rest first."
Su Zhihao said, "I won't leave until the doctor finishes his rounds."
Liu Liangjie said: "When I arrived at the hospital, I called Vice President Zhang and the doctor will be here soon."
Sang Yimei said with gratitude: "Brother Liang, thank you so much. Fortunately, Jingze was here last night."
Liu Liangjie said frankly: "A son-in-law is half a son. These are things Jingze should do. He has something to do this morning and will come over in the afternoon."
After Su Jinyuan finished the operation, he was still very tired and spoke slowly: "Today is Jingze's birthday, so don't let him come to the hospital."
Liu Liangjie said, "We don't have that kind of tradition in my family. Two years ago, Jingze celebrated his birthday in the hospital because his grandmother was sick. Jinyuan, you should just focus on recuperating. Look at how filial your children are."
