Zhu Jin had been receiving Mid-Autumn Festival greetings since morning, some calling in person, some sending messages, and his phone had basically never stopped ringing. Ishigami Kashiwa's situation was similar to Zhu Jin's, except that his was more serious.
The dinner was too rich, and it was painful. I was almost full after eating a little of each dish. In terms of cooking, Zhu Jin had basically not cooked in the past two years, while Shi Wei and Shi Shangbai competed with each other and improved each other, so both of them were far better than her.
As Zhu Jin was eating, she felt a little ashamed as a woman. "I haven't cooked for a while. I'll cook for you two when I have a break. Although it may not taste as good as what you cook."
When Shi Wei heard this, he raised his head and looked at her suspiciously, his eyes full of suspicion.
Shi Shangbai shook his head without hesitation and said, "Goodbye. Shi Wei and I will cook the meal. If you have time, you might as well take a good rest." Zhu Jin was undoubtedly the busiest among the three.
"Uh... Shi Shangbai, you are so virtuous..." Zhu Jin quietly swallowed the words "how can I take responsibility as a husband in the future".
"This is the most basic thing. Nowadays, there are few unvirtuous men. This is what I should do." Ishigami Kashiwa said as a matter of course.
"Hehe..." Zhu Jin couldn't help laughing. If the men in her previous life heard these words, they would despise her to death, but she liked it.
"Don't laugh. Seriously, just focus on your work from now on. After you're done, take more rest and don't worry about household chores like cooking. Take more rest and take better care of your body. You're still this thin after the last illness." Ishigami Bai was a bit nagging and not manly at all.
"You seem to be too controlling during this period, and... a lot more assertive." Zhu Jin couldn't help but say as she looked at him. She could feel these changes.
"Ahem..." Ishigami Bo coughed and pretended to be calm and said, "My status is different now."
Zhu Jin was a little unresponsive for a moment. Shi Wei looked at his expression and secretly showed a contemptuous expression, and explained to Zhu Jin, "Auntie, what he meant is that he is now in the role of a boyfriend."
Zhu Jin was silent for a moment.
Shi Shangbai knocked Shi Wei on the head, "Children should not interrupt when adults are talking!"
"Who is the child in this family now?" Shi Wei felt that it was enough. "I am an adult, okay? There are no children here, unless you two give me a brother or sister."
Shi Wei originally said it casually, but after thinking about it, he felt that this was a great idea, so he immediately continued.
"Yes, auntie, daddy, please give birth to a brother or sister soon, so that I don't have to look at Brother Luo Le's arrogant face in the future. If Xin Yi wasn't so cute, I wouldn't bother to go play with him."
Xinyi's full name is Luo Xinyi, and he is Luo'er's son. Now he is just learning to speak and walk unsteadily. He has a cute head and a chubby face. He is everyone's treasure, and Shi Wei likes him very much.
Zhu Jin didn't reply after hearing what Shi Wei said. However, Shi Shangbai's eyes became brighter as he listened. He didn't reply to Shi Wei's words but asked Zhu Jin, "Teacher, why are you back? It seems like you haven't been back for a long time?"
"Hmm?" Zhu Jin looked up, "My dad?"
"Yeah." Ishigami Kashiwa nodded.
"Is there something you need to talk to him about? He probably hasn't replied yet." Zhu Jin wondered.
"Yes, there is something." Ishigami Bai felt a little heavy-hearted after hearing this.
"Dad, what do you want to do with grandpa?" Shi Wei felt sad and depressed when he saw them ignoring him. "You haven't answered what I just said."
"Idiot." Shi Shangbai was speechless to his stupid son. How could he have a child without getting married? Only after getting married could he have brothers and sisters! Shi Shangbai felt hot in his heart when he thought about Zhu Jin having their children one day. He felt his palms burning when he thought about it.
Looking at Zhu Jin who was frowning slightly, Shi Shangbai couldn't help but ask, "Zhu Jin, are you free during this period?"
If he wanted to go to Su Mu to propose marriage according to the ancient custom, he had to get Zhu Jin's consent first. Shi Shangbai thought that human desires were indeed infinite. In the past, he just wanted to stay by Zhu Jin's side, but when Zhu Jin and he became lovers, he wanted Zhu Jin to become his real wife.
Of course, he went there early in the morning for his wife.
"Which day? What's the matter?" Zhu Jin quickly went over his recent schedule in his mind.
"It's something important." Ishigami Kashiwa replied, "When are you free?"
"There is one the day after tomorrow. What are you going to do?" Zhu Jin thought for a moment and answered.
Before Ishigami Bai could answer, Shi Wei, who was called an idiot by Ishigami Bai, suddenly burst into laughter. He couldn't help laughing when he saw the two people talking seriously.
Ishigami Bai frowned, and couldn't help but "disdain" him again. He didn't feel that way before, but now when he was so short-sighted, he would especially "disdain" this big light bulb that could blind people.
"Dad, you're so funny." Shi Wei, who was being 'disdained', was unaware of it and was still making fun of Shi Shangbai. When Shi Shangbai's face became darker and darker, he finally realized that he had gone too far. He stopped laughing and consciously stepped aside.
"Stop glaring at him." Just when Shi Shangbai's expression had eased and he wanted to continue making an appointment, he heard Zhu Jin say.
Ishigami Kashiwa heard the sound of his own heart breaking.
In other people's families, a man with a child has to worry about the bad relationship between the child and his wife. He has to worry about the good relationship between the child and his wife, and his status is not as good as the child.
"Okay." Ishigami Bai responded speechlessly, swallowing his anger.
"Yeah." Zhu Jin nodded in satisfaction. He had almost finished eating, so he put down his chopsticks and went to find Shi Wei, leaving Shi Shangbai sitting alone at the dining table. Hearing the laughter coming from the other side, he began to worry deeply about himself.
Zhu Jinke was completely unaware of Shi Shangbai's worries, and she didn't think she did anything wrong. To be honest, between Shi Shangbai and Shi Wei, she was most familiar with and closest to Shi Wei. When she first met Shi Wei, she only thought he was childish and unlovable, but as time went by, her impression of him slowly changed.
She didn’t know whether others liked Shi Wei or not, but to her, Shi Wei was always by her side. Even during the most difficult times, Shi Wei was always by her side. Even when Shi Wei was not with her, he would secretly contact her.
After all these years, he is still half a son, so it is normal for her to protect Shi Wei.
Shi Shangbai was tidying up in the kitchen while Shi Wei and Zhu Jin were watching TV in the living room. After a while, Shi Wei secretly looked in the direction of the kitchen and whispered to Zhu Jin, "Auntie, I guessed that Dad wanted to ask you something important."
"Did you guess? What is it?" Zhu Jin asked immediately.
"I guess he wants to propose to you, haha..." Shi Wei said the answer proudly, waiting for Zhu Jin to laugh, but Zhu Jin shook his head.
"That shouldn't be the case. Didn't the proposal ask me to agree to marry him? I already promised him that. There's no need to ask for it."
"What..." Shi Wei's jaw dropped to the ground, "Auntie, when did you agree? I was just about to tell you not to agree to him so easily and to teach him a lesson."
"You are too mean." Zhu Jin criticized Shi Wei, "I agreed to it that day, the day I came back from the hospital."
"Auntie, you are really!" Shi Wei was furious, "Men are not good things, they must suffer a little, Auntie, you listen to me, I will arrange it."
Zhu Jin: “…”
However, after thinking carefully about the order of what was said just now, what Shi Wei said might be true.
When Shi Shangbai packed up and went for a walk with Zhu Jin, Zhu Jin thought for a moment and asked Shi Shangbai, "Are you asking me if my father will come back because you want to propose? Are you asking me if I have time? Are you proposing?"
"Oh, yes, you guessed it." Shi Shangbai was a little at a loss under Zhu Jin's gaze. At his age, it was still a bit unreasonable for him to do the romantic things of young people. However, Shi Shangbai felt that it was very meaningful, and it would be a good memory when he thought about it in the future.
"I didn't guess it." Zhu Jin muttered, looking at Shi Shangbai in confusion. Shi Wei really guessed it right.
"The day after tomorrow..." Ishigami Kashiwa started, thinking about what to say next.
"Shi Shangbai, have you forgotten that you have already proposed to me and I agreed? Why do you want to do it again?" Zhu Jin said it before he could say anything.
"Eh? When?" Shi Shangbai asked immediately, unable to help but try to recall. Did he ask in his dream? "That day, the day I was discharged from the hospital, didn't I agree?" He couldn't remember, so Zhu Jin could only remind him.
"Ah, so you agreed to marry me." Ishigami Kashiwa was a little dizzy by this surprise, "Then when are we getting married? When are you free?"
"Getting married, well...getting married is a big deal, but I'm too busy. I'm afraid I don't have time to hold a wedding. The marriage has to be postponed." Zhu Jin couldn't agree to this readily.
The surprise came too quickly, and the blow came even faster. Before Ishigami Kashiwa could finish being happy, he was devastated by the next piece of news.
What do you mean she is too busy? She is afraid that she won’t have time to hold the wedding, so the wedding has to be postponed!
Shi Shangbai looked at Zhu Jin and felt like crying but had no tears and was speechless.
Sure enough, this is the disadvantage of having a wife who is too capable.
Zhu Jin pursed her lips, patted Shi Shangbai's shoulder to comfort him, and said, "You really can't be rushed when it comes to marriage. You can't be rushed."
Although the wedding date was a bit far away, the relationship between Zhu Jin and Ishigami Kashiwa was still spread shortly after the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the person who made it public was Ishigami Kashiwa.
In October, Ishigami Kashiwa was promoted again, and his official position was even higher. He was young and good-looking, and he looked like a political star. After the promotion, interviews were inevitable, and Ishigami Kashiwa accepted the most formal and traditional media program interviews.
The first part was all about politics, which many people didn't pay much attention to. But at the end of the show, the host joked in a friendly manner to ease the atmosphere, "Mr. Shi is so handsome, young and promising, he should be very popular with ladies, right?"
"No, no, I am...taken." Ishigami Bai immediately waved his hands and finally said that he had a boyfriend.
"Got a boyfriend? Mr. Shi is really humorous." The host laughed, "It seems that Mr. Shi is about to have good luck with his family and career. I wonder who is so lucky!"
"I am lucky." Shi Shangbai smiled, "Everyone knows Doctor Zhu Jin, right?" He said this with a look of pride.
Their relationship would be made public sooner or later. The two of them did not go out of their way to make it public, but they did not hide who was asked first. It was something they had agreed on long ago.
"Dr. Zhu Jin!" the host exclaimed and stood up from his seat reflexively. The program that was about to end was immediately extended.
"Yes, it's her." Ishigami Kashiwa nodded and admitted, "I also want to get married soon, but she is too busy and has no time to get married."
Ishigami Kashiwa looked happy yet distressed.
The news spread quickly, and the news that Ishigami Bai and Zhu Jin were together quickly became a hot topic. When Zhu Jin saw the news, she had just received an invitation.
The most special wedding invitation was sent from a distant planet. The sender was Chonglou, who informed Zhu Jin of his upcoming marriage but did not invite her to attend.
