Chapter 39: Marrying a Wife and Becoming a Father is Different
Zhou Jibai glanced at Shi Huai, whose face suddenly looked a little unnatural, and asked, "Seasick?"
"No." Shi Huai's eyes involuntarily looked in the direction of the noisy scene.
Zhou Jibai walked in front of her without asking any questions, blocking her view.
"I've been quite busy lately." Shang Jue said with a smile.
"Well, you're the only one who's busy, so we're all unemployed vagrants?" Ling Qingyu cursed loudly enough for everyone on the deck to hear.
Shi Huai followed Zhou Jibai, and her steps slowed down as she heard the familiar voice. Her heart began to pound, and she lowered her head, hesitating whether to continue forward.
He Yunxun also teased Shang Jue, who had arrived late, "Ji Bai even invited his wife and children, but you are the only one who is so noble."
When Zhou Jibai was mentioned, Shang Jue's gaze involuntarily fell on Zhou Jibai who was not far away, and he accidentally caught a glimpse of a slender figure blocked behind Zhou Jibai.
Although his face was not shown, Shang Jue recognized this person as Shi Huai based on this part of his figure.
Shang Jue looked away, no longer paying attention, "My fault."
"Isn't it your fault?"
Ling Qingyu bumped Shang Jue's arm and waved in Zhou Jibai's direction, "Jibai, Shang Jue is here."
Zhou Jibai's expression remained unchanged, still as casual as ever, with that naturally lazy attitude towards everything. "Next time, just invite him over in a sedan chair, so that I don't have to go here in person."
Several people were amused by Zhou Jibai's words.
Shi Huai had already seen Shang Jue's face and was completely certain.
Compared to a few years ago, he has lost a lot of his youthfulness, but the only thing that remains unchanged is his gentle and elegant temperament and this clear and handsome face.
One of Zhou Jibai's good brothers, and his first love in his youth.
Shi Huai is going crazy.
No! How could such a coincidence happen in the world!?
Shi Huai wanted to run away. If he had known this yesterday, he would not have been tricked by Zhou Jibai into coming here.
Shang Jue probably didn’t see me, right?
Several people called Zhou Jibai and Shi Huai over to play games. Shi Huai let out a long breath and planned to find an excuse to leave the cabin.
Unexpectedly, Zhou Jibai reached out his hand and took hers, the corners of his lips raised in a playful arc, and his voice was neither too loud nor too soft, enough to be heard by everyone, "Let's go, wife."
The word "wife" hit Shi Huai's ears, and Shi Huai got goose bumps all over his body. He pursed his lips uncomfortably and looked up at him: "I won't go... Just have fun with you guys."
Zhou Jibai raised his eyebrows slightly, his playful smile still lingering: "Your ex-boyfriend is in here, why are you feeling so guilty?"
Shi Huai: ...
For a moment, it was hard to tell whether Zhou Jibai did it on purpose or just unintentionally.
She and Shang Jue met in Guangnan when they were teenagers. At that time, she and Zhou Jibai were strangers who had never met each other. How could Zhou Jibai know?
He has always been sharp-tongued, so it's no surprise that he can make some inappropriate and sarcastic remarks.
Shi Huai turned his head away and didn't look at him.
In fact, she was not afraid of meeting Shang Jue, but she was a little nervous. For a moment, she didn't know whether to tell Zhou Jibai that your good brother was my ex-boyfriend during my school days.
But Zhou Jibai has a vengeful personality. If he knew about this, he would probably mock him again.
Shi Huai calmed down and decided to keep this matter secret in his heart.
Shang Jue is a gentle and calm person who knows the big picture. He would not rush to tell Zhou Jibai about their past.
It's already in the past, and we broke up peacefully, so there's nothing to worry about, Shi Huai thought.
However, Zhou Jibai did not take Shi Huai to their side, but took her hand and came to the leisure and entertainment area at the stern.
Zhou Jibai hadn't slept the entire night. He leaned lazily on the sofa, his feet resting on the coffee table in front of him. He closed his eyes and leaned against Shi Huai. "Sleep with me for a while, don't wander around."
"How about going back to the cabin and sleeping?"
The club is open-air, the sun is shining brightly outside, the waves are roaring, and people are coming and going. The atmosphere is not suitable for catching up on sleep.
Zhou Jibai didn't reply, but took the cloak that Shi Huai had just taken off and covered his eyes with it to block the scorching sun above his head.
Immediately afterwards, the sound of even and gentle breathing fell into Shi Huai's ears.
Zhou Jibai's head rested lightly on Shi Huai's shoulder, not letting his entire weight fall off, just leaning against her. Their movements were intimate and ambiguous, and even from a distance, everyone envied this loving couple.
Seeing that Zhou Jibai was really asleep this time, Shi Huai didn't feel sleepy at all and just looked at the blue sea and sky. The cool sea breeze blew gently on her face, and she quietly enjoyed the healing brought by the sea.
If I had gone to the cabin with Zhou Jibai to sleep, I wouldn't have been able to see such a beautiful sea view.
After only a few hours of sleep, He Yunxun, Ling Qingyu and others came over.
Seeing the newlyweds being so affectionate with each other, He Yunxun jokingly said, "Tell the chef not to cook the fat black sea bream I just caught. They're already full of dog food."
Hearing this, Shi Huai raised her head slightly and looked at the people walking towards her. Seeing that everyone had arrived, she gently nudged Zhou Jibai, who was sleeping soundly beside her.
Zhou Jibai seemed to be completely unaware, and pressed closer to Shi Huai, saying in a hoarse voice, "Don't mess with your wife."
"hiss--"
Everyone took a deep breath and raised their eyebrows to look at Shi Huai, whose face had already turned red. Only Shang Jue, standing aside, remained calm.
Ling Qingyu stretched out his foot to move Zhou Jibai's foot off the coffee table, "Master, get up."
Zhou Jibai gently lifted the cloak covering his face, his eyes hazy with sleep, and he slowly sat up, "Who kicked me just now?"
Ling Qingyu admitted generously, "I am your lackey."
Zhou Jibai: "I'm allergic to dog hair, you should find another owner."
"Sister-in-law, can you please control your husband's mouth?" Ling Qingyu couldn't stand it anymore. What would happen if Zhou Jibai missed a word?
After receiving the instructions, Shi Huai said to Zhou Jibai seriously, "He's getting a little angry, don't be so angry with him."
Ling Qingyu: ...
After Zhou Jibai said "OK", he slowly put his cloak back on Shi Huai.
"I'm not cold." Shi Huai looked at the cloak that was draped over his shoulders again and wanted to take it off.
Zhou Jibai lowered his eyes and glanced at Shi Huai's lower abdomen: "You are not cold, how about him?"
Considering that I was pregnant, and that we were outdoors with the yacht on the sea, the sea breeze would blow stronger from time to time.
Shi Huai tacitly accepted Zhou Jibai's inexplicable thoughtfulness.
"It's different after getting married and becoming a father. Our Poison King has been trained to be a warm man."
"Okay, stop showing off your affection." Ling Qingyu threw a deck of cards on the coffee table. "King's Game? Or Truth or Dare?"
Several people took their seats one after another. After Shang Jue sat down, he and Shi Shihuai looked at each other from a distance for a moment.
Neither of them spoke, and looked away unnaturally.
Shang Jue was sitting diagonally opposite Shi Huai.
