Chapter 124 It's not appropriate to have a child now
Yang Zhenting probably never imagined that his wife would dislike him; he never dreamed that one day he would be called an old geezer!
He came downstairs dejectedly, and Grandpa Li, seeing that he was still up so late, brought him some tea.
"Do I look like a decrepit old man?" Yang Zhenting said, feigning surprise.
Grandpa Li was completely bewildered, wondering what these two old men were up to now.
"What, is that so hard to answer? Do I really look that much like it? Aren't I already very trendy?" Yang Zhenting asked again.
He's dressed so much to fit the old lady's taste that he's almost looking like a young person, and he just can't understand why he looks like a grumpy old man.
Grandpa Li quickly shook his head, "You don't look old at all, you look much more handsome than me!"
The old man didn't believe him and was about to scold him with a stern face.
"Old man, come up here quickly and see which one suits me!" the old lady upstairs called out again.
Yang Zhenting glared at Grandpa Li and stormed upstairs. He hadn't figured out what went wrong even after Grandpa Li disappeared.
Unlike the excitement of the Yang family, the atmosphere here at Du Ruoxia's place was much quieter.
She took a shower and slept until dark, then had a simple dinner and had nothing to do again.
She wanted to go out for a walk, but then she thought about how Yang Zeyan might be looking for her, so she gave up on the idea.
The streets become quiet after nightfall; there's no nightlife at this time, and everyone goes to bed early.
When the knocking sounded, Du Ruoxia was still staring blankly outside. She wasn't surprised to see Yang Zeyan when she opened the door.
"Finished with work?" She didn't seem surprised; after all, she was leaving tomorrow, and it was time to get things done.
"Yes, Section Chief Zhao has already handed it over. The rest is a matter for the court." Yang Zeyan smiled as he walked in.
Du Ruoxia pouted, "When will his punishment be announced?"
Yang Zeyan pursed his lips and shook his head, "Not so fast yet. The specific situation depends on the leader's decision. This time things have escalated like this, he can't escape it, don't worry!"
Du Ruoxia nodded in agreement. "We can't let those innocent people die in vain. At least Er Gou's mother has a spirit in heaven."
"I'm going to take a shower. You can go to sleep if you're tired," Yang Zeyan said, and went straight into the bathroom.
Du Ruoxia then realized that Yang Zeyan hadn't booked another room. Before she could speak, Yang Zeyan had already gone inside!
She looked at the not-so-big wooden bed behind her. Besides the bed, there was only a small table and a small wooden chair. There was nowhere else to sleep!
"This bed is a bit small, how can two people sleep in it?" Du Ruoxia frowned.
In Yuyang County, they slept separately. Now that they're in Kyoto, Yang Zeyan is afraid his family will find out they're not a real couple, so they're sharing a room.
She sat on the edge of the bed, filled with questions, waiting for Yang Zeyan to come out. She remembered that Yang Zeyan was still injured, and she thought that even if Yang Zeyan shared a room with her tonight, nothing would happen.
Yang Zeyan came out in less than ten minutes, and Du Ruoxia stared wide-eyed at his bare-chested body.
Eight-pack abs – that's probably the standard for soldiers. A strong, muscular, and tall physique with not an ounce of excess fat, overflowing with hormones – he's totally in Du Ruoxia's ideal body type!
She really couldn't take her eyes off it. She even wanted to touch it. Her mind went back to the time when the two of them had been intimate. She even regretted not having experienced it properly back then. This thought was too dangerous.
However, looking at the shabby guesthouse, Du Ruoxia immediately wiped the lewd thoughts from her mind. The place was unhygienic and could easily cause gynecological diseases.
"Hey, Yang Zeyan, why don't you ask for another room?" Du Ruoxia suggested, pointing outside.
Yang Zeyan was bending over to find a piece of clothing when he heard Du Ruoxia's words and he was stunned, thinking that Du Ruoxia minded.
“It’s not safe here, and if we live separately, my family might find out about us,” he said dejectedly.
Du Ruoxia's eyes darted back and forth over him, and when she saw the redness and swelling on his shoulder, she remembered his injury and put aside her romantic feelings.
"Turn around, I'll apply the medicine for you." She turned to find the medicine.
Yang Zeyan obediently sat down, but his expression changed when Du Ruoxia's hand landed on his shoulder.
Du Ruoxia's entire focus was on his back, treating him completely as a patient. She was used to not thinking too much, so she didn't notice that Yang Zeyan's ears had turned red.
After applying the medicine, Du Ruoxia breathed a sigh of relief. "Okay, I'm going to wash my hands."
After saying that, she turned to go into the restroom. She wasn't used to the smell of medicine on her, but Yang Zeyan grabbed her arm.
Du Ruoxia lost her balance and sat directly on Yang Zeyan's lap. She exclaimed in surprise, but the sound was quickly swallowed up.
Yang Zeyan's enlarged face was right in front of her, and one hand was placed behind her neck to hold her still. Du Ruoxia opened her mouth slightly and stared at Yang Zeyan kissing her with wide eyes.
Du Ruoxia forgot to push him away, and Yang Zeyan, having already opened his mouth, had already crawled inside. Her hand, unsteady on her feet, landed on his waist.
The firm touch on her hands, accompanied by a passionate kiss, drew her in without her even realizing it.
Soon, the man in front of her became restless, his hands roaming over her body. Du Ruoxia had no idea that Yang Zeyan was such a direct person.
But the smell of liniment in her nose made her have no desire to do that kind of thing.
Yang Zeyan's hand had already landed on her sensitive spot, and she couldn't help but moan. Yang Zeyan's muscles tensed up even more.
However, Du Ruoxia remained unusually calm. She couldn't do that kind of thing in this place; she was afraid of getting sick!
Yang Zeyan was so engrossed in his work that he was completely bewildered when Du Ruoxia kicked him away.
Realizing that he had been kicked away by Du Ruoxia, his face turned dark and he felt terrible. Just how bad was he?
He stood up with a sullen face. Looking at Du Ruoxia's innocent face, he couldn't get angry and could only turn his face away.
"Um, I think this place is dirty," Du Ruoxia said shyly. "I think that kind of thing needs to be done in a clean environment, otherwise it's easy to get sick."
She had considered that relationships inevitably involve impulsive actions, and it wasn't impossible, but her professional ethics and the experience of being tormented by illness in her previous life made her cautious.
Yang Zeyan froze upon hearing this, so it wasn't that Du Ruoxia disliked him, but rather that the environment here was unpleasant.
He rubbed his forehead, rubbing his head in frustration, and cursed himself for not being careful enough; he should have noticed these things earlier.
"I'm sorry, I'll be more careful next time," he said apologetically.
Du Ruoxia nodded gently, "Next time, tell me in advance so I can take proper contraceptive measures."
Yang Zeyan was directly shocked by her words. He didn't know that this was a doctor's habit. His serious expression forced Du Ruoxia to explain.
Du Ruoxia gave an awkward smile. "I'm still young now, and I might go on to further my studies in a few years. It wouldn't be appropriate if I had children then. Besides, our relationship isn't stable, and we can't selfishly just enjoy ourselves, right?"
