"It's not much, but it's a little crucial. I told Her Majesty the Queen something she would never have thought of, which eliminated her last hesitation." Chonglou was very honest. "If you didn't want to be a princess, you could have snatched the princess back by the way."
"Without clear real power, and being restricted everywhere, it's meaningless." Zhu Jin looked up at Chonglou and asked, "What news did you tell the Queen?"
"Well..." Chonglou's eyes lit up, "Kiss me and I'll tell you, or let me kiss you!"
"I'm just a little curious. It doesn't matter if I don't know." Zhu Jin gave him a cold look.
She didn't believe what he meant by a kiss. With his wolf-like eyes, how could it really be just a kiss...
"Zhu Jin, you can't do this. What is our relationship? We haven't seen each other for such a long time. It's said that a short separation is better than a new marriage, but you can't even kiss me. You are inhumane!" Chonglou was very dissatisfied.
"You are like this, and you are still not honest!" Zhu Jin's face was a little hot. They haven't even got married yet, and you said such words! Zhu Jin hardened his heart and exerted force with his hands.
"Ah... Zhu Jin, be gentle, be gentle." How could his legs, which were slowly regaining consciousness, withstand such torture? Chonglou couldn't help but let out a howl, and all the thoughts in his mind disappeared without a trace in an instant.
Zhu Jin smiled with satisfaction.
"Also, let's not talk about the others, but why did you think of being so arrogant and harassing the reporters?" Zhu Jin raised his head and glanced at Chonglou, whose face was distorted.
"I just really don't like them. Who asked them to bully you when I was not around?" Chonglou and Zhu Jin asked for credit. "Did I do well? Was it really satisfying and satisfying? Did you feel less angry?"
"It's really enjoyable, satisfying, and makes me feel better." Zhu Jin nodded and shook his head. "However, you opened your own hospital, and it wouldn't be good if those reporters wrote nonsense." The patient's mentality is very important during recovery.
"You don't have to worry about me, don't worry about anything for me, I can handle everything." Chonglou leaned forward and touched her hair, "As long as you are well, everything is fine."
Zhu Jin looked up into Chonglou's eyes and nodded slowly.
It was already 20 minutes later when Chonglou's legs fully recovered. Zhu Jin came out to wash up, checked the time, and said to Chonglou, "Shi Wei and the others should be back by now. I'm going to go check on them."
"That little brat?" Chonglou curled his lips.
"Yeah." Zhu Jin nodded. She thought she would see Shi Shangbai and Shi Wei outside the prison today.
She still remembered what Basil had said before, and she was afraid that something would really happen between them.
"You go and see. I won't go over." Chonglou lazily slept on the sofa with no intention of moving. If he went over, it would be a blatant show-off. Although he liked to show off, Zhu Jin just came back today, so he had to be more restrained.
Zhu Jin didn't answer him. He walked out the back door and arrived at the front door of the Shi family. After looking around to see if anyone was there, he rang the doorbell.
No one opened the door, so he probably hadn't come back yet. Zhu Jin turned around and walked back. Just as he was opening the back door, he heard the sound of a door opening behind him.
Zhu Jin turned around and saw Shi Shangbai.
Unlike the Ishigami Kashiwa I had seen before, he was only wearing a bathrobe, revealing part of his chest, and his wet hair was still steaming.
"…I just came out of the bathroom and opened the door late." Shi Shangbai looked at Zhu Jin in front of him and explained in a slightly raised voice, "Congratulations on your release from prison."
"Well, thank you. I thought you guys should be back so I came to see you." Zhu Jin turned around and took two steps, avoiding Shi Shangbai's chest and looking into his eyes. "Is it convenient for you to come over for a quick meal tonight? Is Shi Wei back?"
"Shi Wei hasn't come back yet." Shi Shangbai wiped his hair carelessly with a towel, avoiding Zhu Jin's gaze, "I won't be there tonight."
No explanation, just a flat rejection.
Zhu Jin, who originally thought they would definitely come over, was stunned. She had thought they would pick her up at the prison gate and that they would definitely not refuse dinner in the evening...
No, in the end, they didn't pick her up and refused dinner.
Zhu Jin was stunned for a moment, "Oh, you guys are busy, if you are busy, then let's do it another day, are you free tomorrow?"
"It's okay, but I won't bother you anymore since I've finished cooking." Shi Shangbai stopped and met Zhu Jin's gaze.
"Oh...I see." Zhu Jin stared at Shi Shangbai blankly, paused for a moment, and looked at Shi Shangbai with an inquiring look, "Shi Shangbai, is there something wrong?"
Zhu Jin felt that everything was wrong. Shi Shangbai was disheveled and didn't give her any explanation when facing her. He didn't even ask her to come into his house and refused her invitation to dinner. There was a cold look on his face, and there was no longer the closeness and warmth of the past.
It was as if the days half a year ago were all a dream. "Nothing, why are you asking?" Shi Shangbai shook his head, looking at the rare clear emotion on Zhu Jin's face, he tightened his grip on the towel and asked nonchalantly, "Zhu Jin, do you want to restore our previous relationship?"
"Ah?" Zhu Jin nodded, "Ah, yes, has anything happened in the past six months?"
"A lot of things have happened." Ishigami Kashiwa answered casually, and then asked, "Do you want to restore the relationship you had before?"
"I want to, is it okay?" Zhu Jin looked at him hesitantly and asked.
Ishigami Bai looked at Zhu Jin steadily and finally took a step forward. He walked forward in his bathrobe and stood in front of the door. He looked at Zhu Jin through the door and nodded, "Okay, if one day you tell me in person that you love me, we can resume our previous relationship."
Seeing Zhu Jin's eyes wide open and mouth slightly opened in shock, Shi Shangbai laughed, revealing a smile that Zhu Jin was unfamiliar with, and looked at Zhu Jin leisurely, "Are you shocked?"
"A little bit." Zhu Jin lowered his head slightly. This was a completely different Shi Shangbai from before, but Zhu Jin strangely didn't find it abrupt, as if he had always been like this and was supposed to be like this.
Ishigami Bai looked at Zhu Jin with deep eyes, then looked away after a few seconds. He turned around, closed the door, and left without saying goodbye.
The sound of a door closing brought Zhu Jin back to his senses. He looked up, but there was no one in front of him.
Zhu Jin stared at the closed door in a daze. Why did it become like this? Zhu Jin was stunned for a long time before turning around and entering the house.
Inside the house, Shi Shangbai, who was sitting on the sofa looking at the gate management system, saw Zhu Jin turn around and go home. He looked at the empty gate for a while and finally turned off the management system.
The room was silent.
"Miss, are Xiao Shiwei and the others back? Didn't they come with us?" Zhu Jin ran into her aunt who was looking for her just after she entered the house. "The food will be ready soon."
"No, they can't tell me anymore." Zhu Jin looked at her aunt and smiled apologetically, "Let's save the extra food we made today. We'll eat it tomorrow or the day after tomorrow."
"Hey? Yeah, okay." The aunt was also stunned for a moment before she agreed with a look of doubt on her face. She wanted to ask about the situation, but when she saw that Zhu Jin's face didn't look good, she swallowed it again.
"What's wrong?" Zhu Jin and Chong Lou met, and Chong Lou stood up. "What happened?"
"Nothing." Zhu Jin sat next to Chonglou and spoke again after a moment, "Shi Shangbai said he won't come to dinner."
"Hmm." Chonglou nodded without saying anything. He knew that what Zhu Jin needed at the moment was quietness.
"Maybe we will have less contact in the future." Sure enough, after a moment, Zhu Jin spoke again, turning to look at Chonglou, "Chonglou, do you know what happened to them in the past six months?"
"I don't know either. Apart from you, I don't have much contact with them." Chonglou shook his head and looked at Zhu Jin and asked, "Did he say that he should have less contact with them?"
"Yeah, almost." Zhu Jin nodded, "I was wondering if it was because of me, if I did something that made him so distant all of a sudden."
"You're already in jail, what can you do?" Chonglou curled his lips secretly, thinking that he was the best boyfriend in the world. Look, he even helped his girlfriend analyze the situation of her love rival.
"Yeah." Zhu Jin nodded and cheered up. "Auntie said the dishes are almost ready. Let's pick a few dishes to eat and save the rest for tomorrow or the day after tomorrow."
"Okay." The two of them carefully selected the dishes. Chonglou asked Zhu Jin while he was ambivalent, "When are you going to see Her Majesty the Queen? Tomorrow?"
"Yes, tomorrow." Zhu Jin nodded. "I'll go see her tomorrow morning. In the afternoon, I want to go to the General Hospital to see Huhu. Huhu is still in the General Hospital, right?" Zhu Jin knew that Chonglou would definitely help her keep an eye on this person.
"Let's meet. I'll go with you." Chonglou nodded. "She's at the General Hospital. The General Hospital helped her apply for a subsidy system. Do you have any idea about her illness?"
"Yes, I got it." Zhu Jin nodded. "Let's go check on the situation tomorrow." Half a year can't be spent only on studying. " Oh, that's amazing. It's really stressful to have someone as talented as you." Chonglou exclaimed exaggeratedly as he brought the dishes to the table.
"Stop talking nonsense..." Zhu Jin was just saying this when he heard the doorbell ring.
"Who is this? He looks familiar..." The aunt looked at the boy outside the door puzzledly.
"It looks so familiar..." Zhu Jin frowned slightly, "It looks like Pseudostellaria scabra..."
As he spoke, he walked out, passing the aunt directly, needless to say, he would go and open the door himself.
Chonglou looked at Zhu Jin's back, glanced at the person outside the door and paused, then looked again and curled his lips. What does he look like? He's just a little ghost!
Humph, you've grown up and become more and more annoying.
I don't know what he ate to grow up. He has grown so tall in just half a year. He didn't grow so fast before, did he? Chonglou recalled, and Zhu Jin opened the door.
"Shi Wei?" Zhu Jin looked at the tall and thin boy standing outside the door, who was a little taller than her, and confirmed it carefully.
Is this really the Shi Wei who never grew up half a year ago? The change is too great.
"It's me, Auntie. I'm back from school." Shi Wei looked at Zhu Jin and nodded. He scratched his head and grinned, "Auntie, I've grown up."
"Yeah, I can see that you've grown up a lot." Zhu Jin smiled as he watched the boy in front of him open the door and step aside, "Come in, you can still come in directly, why did you ring the doorbell?"
Zhu Jin felt emotional, not only girls change a lot when they grow up, boys also change a lot when they grow up.
