Chapter 105: Habits should be formed from childhood
In a few days it will be my happy second birthday.
Ruoyu and Zhou Xu don't want to miss every happy moment of life.
Moreover, after the birth of Huanyu and before Ruoyu was out of confinement, Zhou Xu made a decision for Ruoyu that she would only have Huanyu in this life.
After the video conference in the study, Zhou Xu glanced at the clock on the desk. It was still early, only 8:30 in the evening.
Huanyu has been unable to sleep without someone these days, so she's been clinging to Ruoyu. Zhou Xu wondered if Ruoyu should be telling Huanyu a story in the house right now.
When I pushed open the door of the master bedroom, what came into view was Ruoyu lying on the bed, covered with a small blanket, and Huanyu curled up in her arms like a kitten.
Presumably, both mother and daughter fell asleep without realizing it. The light in the master bedroom was not turned off, and the eye-protecting warm yellow light fell on the two of them, outlining a soft and warm feeling.
Zhou Xu curled the corners of his lips and walked slowly to the bed.
When Ruoyu takes Huanyu to sleep, her sleep level is usually light. She will wake up when she hears any noise, for fear that Huanyu will roll off the bed or cry for milk.
I slowly opened my sleepy eyes and saw Zhou Xu sitting beside my bed.
She was a little confused, blinking her eyes slowly twice, looking at him like a deer in the forest.
Zhou Xu gently stroked her head with his palm, then made a gesture to silence her, "Shh."
Zhou Xu picked up Huanyu from the bed again. Huanyu, the little soft ball, was sleeping soundly. Even if she noticed any movement, she was too lazy to open her eyes. She snuggled into Zhou Xu's arms and smacked her lips twice, unaffected at all.
Zhou Xu carried Huanyu out of the door and handed her over to a special nanny.
After a while he came in again.
Ruoyu had already sat up from the bed, one shoulder strap of her silk suspender dress slipped down to her slender arm. She had not yet noticed how pure and seductive she looked at the moment.
Zhou Xu doesn't wear formal clothes at home. He wears a black turtleneck cashmere sweater on the upper body and a pair of black suit pants on the lower body. The simple outfit perfectly outlines his broad shoulders and narrow waist.
The clothes in his wardrobe are all black, white and gray, with no other colors or patterns.
Seeing Zhou Xu walking towards her from outside the door, Ruoyu asked in confusion, "Why did you send Huanyu away?"
Huanyu has been sleeping with them recently.
The only problem with his sleeping posture is that he sleeps happily. Everything else is fine. He doesn't cry or make a fuss when he gets up at night, and he is well behaved when he wakes up in the morning.
Zhou Xu remained calm and said in a light voice, "Habits must be formed from childhood."
Ruoyu curled her lips: "Huanyu is not even two years old yet."
Zhou Xu didn't respond to this. He walked to the bed and sat down. While Ruoyu was in a daze, he reached out and held her in his arms.
The sudden movement made Ruoyu's heart skip a beat.
She immediately realized why the first thing Zhou Xu did when he entered the house was to take Huanyu away and give it to her aunt.
Huanyu lived with them this winter. Now that she could run and walk, she always liked to look around. Zhou Xu dragged her to the bathroom, dressing room, living room, or other bedrooms, but Huanyu would interrupt several times.
It can be said that Zhou Xu has not had a single fun time this winter.
Ruoyu was trapped in his arms, making her look petite. Her face flushed, and her eyes shone with a faint light. "It's not so good..."
"What's wrong with it?" Zhou Xu lowered his head and gently kissed Ruoyu's forehead with his thin lips.
…
When the feelings reached their peak, Zhou Xu opened the bedside table with ease.
When he took out the box, he saw that it was empty and his brows suddenly frowned.
Ruoyu put her hands on her chest and groaned, unable to suppress her emotions: "No more?"
"Um."
Ruoyu pursed her lips: "How about..."
Zhou Xu's lips blocked her from saying anything next. When their lips and teeth touched, Ruoyu felt like she was about to be swallowed by Zhou Xu.
Zhou Xu let out a long breath and didn't continue. Instead, he hugged Ruoyu in his arms.
Strong arms trapped her, and his warm breath sprayed on her earlobe, making her feel itchy. "Ayu, help me."
Ruoyu trembled and quickly compromised.
It’s not the first time anyway.
…
When she was in Guangnan, Shi Huai had been embroidering happy birthday gifts. Even after returning to Changkyo for a few days, her hands were still busy.
Although she did not inherit her grandmother's legacy, she is also able to do Suzhou embroidery with ease.
Having lived under her grandmother's watchful eye for so many years, she had always wanted to teach her Suzhou embroidery skills, both verbally and practically. But Shi Huai never managed more than a month, and so her grandmother gave up.
Fortunately, Shi Huai was intelligent, quick to learn, and a quick learner. She hadn't completely forgotten the embroidery techniques. She could still embroider a small jacket for Huanyu.
Zhou Jibai came out of the shower and saw Shi Huai still embroidering the small jacket in her hands, so he walked forward to block her light.
Shi Huai raised his eyes, glanced at him, and stopped what he was doing, "You're blocking the light."
"Take a break." Zhou Jibai said without hesitation.
Shi Huai: "My birthday is just a few days away... I'm afraid I won't be able to finish it."
"It doesn't matter if we can't finish it. We can do it during the day." Zhou Jibai raised his hand to take the clothes from Shi Huai's hand and put them aside. "It's too late now. It's not good for your eyes."
Suzhou embroidery is delicate work, and Shi Huai's eyes felt dry after staring at it for so long. Unable to dissuade Zhou Jibai, she remained silent.
Zhou Jibai went to bed, held her in his arms, and did eye exercises for her.
Zhou Jibai's massage technique is quite comfortable.
Shi Huai felt comfortable being served by him, leaning on him and enjoying his service.
"Do you have any other surprises that I don't know about?" Zhou Jibai couldn't help but kiss Shi Huai on the cheek.
She can restore ancient paintings and do Suzhou embroidery.
Shi Huai was in the field she was good at. In Zhou Jibai's eyes, she seemed to be covered with a layer of soft light, and was extremely dazzling.
Shi Huai's cheek was tickled by his kiss. She smiled and asked, "Then what other surprises do you have that I don't know about?"
Zhou Jibai answered frankly: "No, you know everything."
"You've been secretly in love with me since the beginning, right?" Shi Huai slowly opened her eyes and looked up at him.
Zhou Jibai: "Hmm."
"You see, a man without a mouth can't get a wife." Shi Huai said with a smile.
Zhou Jibai raised his eyebrows and asked her, "Did you like me at that time?"
Shi Huai lowered his eyes and did not answer for a long time, not knowing what answer to give him.
Before she met Zhou Jibai, she had just arrived in Guangnan to attend high school. She had been in a relationship since she started school and had basically no gaps.
During the summer vacation… She had just broken up with Shang Jue, leaving them with only two months of separation. With nothing better to do, she went to the sycamore tree at Guangnan Hospital to tease the blind boy.
After thinking for a long time, Shi Huai slowly replied: "Yes, I like it."
"I like it, yes?" Zhou Jibai emphasized the last word and laughed angrily. "Is it me who is so unconfident?"
"But you didn't say you liked me then..." Shi Huai curled his lips, not quite confident in what he said, "And even if I said I liked you then, you probably wouldn't agree to be with me, right?"
At that time, Zhou Jibai was extremely sensitive and inferior because he was blind.
Shi Huai could sense that his self-esteem was high and his whole heart was wrapped tightly and locked in a silent dark room to ensure that all the thorns from the outside world would not hurt him.
Zhou Jibai could not deny: "Yes."
Even if Shi Huai confessed to him at that time, he would find all kinds of reasons to reject her.
For Zhou Jibai at that time, he was a blind man with no bright future.
Shi Huai is young, beautiful, sunny and has a bright future.
He can pave the way for her and serve as a stepping stone, but he will not be a stumbling block for her on the road.
In fact, for Shi Huai at that time, she had a clear mind.
It is true that she has a crush on Zhou Jibai, but she will not fall in love with him.
She cherished this hard-earned relationship and was grateful for Zhou Jibai's appearance. But for her at that time, being in love was not a way to cherish this relationship.
More than friendship, but not yet lovers.
This is how sixteen-year-old Shi Huai comforted himself.
Shi Huai threw herself back into his arms, "So, can you say that you have finally experienced happiness after suffering?"
Zhou Jibai looked into Shang Shihuai's sincere eyes, and raised the corners of his lips: "Yes."
"After suffering comes happiness."
"I'm in your sight now. We must stick together through thick and thin from now on. Okay?" Shi Huai said seriously.
Shi Huai thought again, "When did your eyes get better?"
Zhou Jibai replied, "It's been three months since I left Guangnan, and winter hasn't arrived yet."
Shi Huai originally thought that during the five years Zhou Jibai had been missing, he had been looking for a doctor to treat his eyes, but he didn't expect that his eyesight would be restored before the winter when he turned nineteen.
"Then you didn't think of coming to see me?" Shi Huai asked, biting her lip, "Or did you just treat those two months as a fleeting encounter?"
With the power of the Zhou family, it would be easy to investigate her.
She just didn't believe that Zhou Jibai hadn't come to see her after his eyesight recovered.
Unless Zhou Jibai just regarded himself as a passer-by and never took it to heart.
Hearing the hesitation in Shi Huai's second half of the sentence, Zhou Jibai smiled: "I've already had a secret crush on you, and you still thought those two months were just a fleeting encounter?"
Shi Huai realized that her question was a bit stupid, but she was still conflicted.
He clearly recognized me from the beginning and knew that I was the same person from five years ago...but he didn't tell me.
"Then why don't you come to see me..." Shi Huai's cheeks puffed up, and his voice sounded muffled, revealing his dissatisfaction.
Zhou Jibai lowered his eyes, taking in Shi Huai's depressed expression, "There's a reason for this."
He looked for it.
It’s just that Shi Huai didn’t know.
During the five years when he was alone, he stood in the dark, watching the people coming and going around Shi Huai.
She smiled heartily at others, would hold other people's arms while taking a walk, ride other people's motorcycles to escape from the campus, and sneak into the dark alleys of Internet cafes to light cigarettes and chat with others.
I escorted her home, helped her carry her schoolbag, bought her milk tea, held an umbrella for her on rainy days, and accompanied her throughout her youth. The person standing next to her was not myself.
He could only stay in the dark and take a peek.
Just one look and he was satisfied.
Shi Huai, for the past five years, Zhou Jibai has always been out of your sight.
Just thinking about these things makes my heart tormented.
Shi Huai didn't ask any further questions. She would try to understand Zhou Jibai and consider his thoughts from his perspective.
And, unconditional trust in Zhou Jibai.
Since he said that everything happened for a reason, it just happened for a reason.
At least they are together now and have a child.
From now on, the three of us will stick together through thick and thin.
No one will let go of anyone's hand again.
Shi Huai raised his head and kissed Zhou Jibai's eyes, "Will there be any sequelae?"
Zhou Jibai: "You need to wear sunglasses when the sun is too strong, because you can't see when it's dark."
"I feel the same way. When the sun is too strong, I can't open my eyes. When it's dark, I can't see anything clearly. I feel the same way as you."
Zhou Jibai's eyes fell on Shi Huai's chattering lips, and he answered somewhat nonchalantly: "Yes."
Shi Huai noticed that there was something wrong with his gaze.
She raised her hand and waved it in front of him twice, then tilted her head to look at him: "Why did you become dazed while you were talking?"
Zhou Jibai's Adam's apple rolled around: "I want to kiss you, can I?"
Shi Huai was stunned.
She lowered her eyes, without much hesitation, and finally nodded slightly.
Zhou Jibai held her waist, held her in his arms, and leaned over to kiss her lips.
The lingering kiss made Shi Huai's heart beat fast. Zhou Jibai's kiss was no longer as fierce as before. He gently kissed and licked his lips, then pried them open and sucked.
It was a long time before he let go of Shi Huai's lips. Shi Huai was breathing heavily in his arms, looking down at the man who was burying his head in her chest and gently biting her collarbone.
"Aren't you going to stop yet?"
Zhou Jibai's body trembled slightly, and he raised his amber eyes, the desire in his eyes was obvious.
Shi Huai bit his lower lip and closed his eyes silently, realizing that it would be difficult to stop the snow today.
…
"Tell me if you feel uncomfortable." Zhou Jibai kissed Shi Huai's forehead, "Relax, Zhizhi."
Shi Huai shielded his eyes with his snow-white elbows, "Have you prepared that..."
Before, I just skirted the line with Zhou Jibai and didn't cross the line.
Now... Shi Huai is still a little nervous.
And pay attention to hygiene during pregnancy.
Zhou Jibai chuckled and stretched out his long arm.
Then Shi Huai heard the sound of the bedside table drawer being opened, and the next moment the whole room fell into darkness.
…
"Didn't you say you couldn't see clearly at night when it got dark?"
Shi Huai had never thought it would go so smoothly. His voice was a little soft, trembling with tears.
The first time they did it, both of them were very impatient, but it took several tries before they succeeded.
Zhou Jibai said in a daze, "Is it considered a talent to learn without a teacher?"
"Get lost! You big liar!"
Zhou Jibai's eyes recovered well.
The sequelae are almost 0
"Zhizhi, you are so beautiful."
Zhou Jibai gently bit Shi Huai's peach-pink cheek.
…
Considering that Shi Huai was still pregnant, Zhou Jibai was extremely restrained and patient.
It was over in one go. Then he carried Shi Huai to the bathroom and gave her a bath himself.
Shi Huai felt languid from head to toe, from skin to bones, and was too lazy to lift a finger. He was completely dependent on Zhou Jibai for his care.
Zhou Jibai served willingly and hummed a little tune happily.
