Chapter 57: Popping out from the cracks in the rocks
Shi Huai didn't even dare to look at Zhou Jibai, and turned away.
When Zhou Jibai heard that the person just now was her best friend from Shihuai University, her clenched heart suddenly relaxed for a moment.
The man followed Shi Huai slowly, muttering softly, "You've never blown me a kiss."
Shi Huai paused: "..."
He hummed but said nothing.
Arriving in the study, Shi Huai originally wanted to keep Zhou Jibai out so she could immerse herself in the restoration alone. The process might be tedious for Zhou Jibai, so it would be better not to waste his time.
But when her eyes fell on the desk, surprise flashed across her eyes. The tools for restoring cultural relics were already displayed, and the tools were brand new and complete, and it was obvious that they were newly purchased.
The tools she had looted from Song Xuwen hadn't been taken out of the box yet. These tools were...
Shi Huai turned sideways and looked up at the tall figure that quietly walked in behind him, "Did you prepare this?"
Zhou Jibai raised his eyebrows: "It jumped out from the cracks in the rocks."
This time, Shi Huai did not retort him. Instead, he walked slowly to Zhou Jibai. When Zhou Jibai was stunned, he took the initiative to throw himself into his arms and rested his little face on his chest.
"Thank you." Shi Huai said softly.
Unexpectedly, Shi Huai would actually throw herself into his arms. Zhou Jibai reached out and gently patted her back: "Then give me a flying kiss as a reward."
Shi Huai immediately raised his head from his arms, "Didn't they just pop out from the cracks in the rocks? Why should I pay you?"
Zhou Jibai tutted his words, "Who knows, they might be taken away by the stone again in the blink of an eye."
Shi Huai curled his lips and didn't respond to him. He was very touched in his heart and didn't want to refute him.
I didn't expect Zhou Jibai to have such a thoughtful and soft side, and he even prepared repair tools for me.
This stubborn fellow. Shi Huai muttered to himself, looking at him with his crescent-shaped eyes.
Zhou Jibai let her look at him, but still subconsciously touched the area of his left ear bone.
He hadn't worn ear bone studs for a long time, and the ear holes had gradually grown bigger, leaving a few barely noticeable marks on the ear bones.
"Have a meal."
Grandma and her eldest sister-in-law and their family went to travel to Country A, leaving only her and Zhou Jibai at home.
Every day, I eat alone with Zhou Jibai, face to face, and occasionally chat with him. This peaceful and warm daily life seems pretty good.
As he thought about it, Shi Huai gently stroked his belly again, looking forward to the arrival of the little life.
After finishing his meal, Shi Huai went back to his study and began to repair the painting "Spring Mountain with Birds on the Branches".
Once she starts doing something, she will forget about eating and sleeping and immerse herself in it. Even if Zhou Jibai blew up the study room right now, she probably wouldn't even raise her eyelids.
Zhou Jibai sat in the rest area, holding an English magazine in his hand. He glanced in Shi Huai's direction from time to time, watching her concentrate on her own work.
She wore a long dress dyed in ink and emerald green, and had her long hair neatly tied up in a bun. Her eyes were focused, and her hands were skillfully switching between tools.
It's quite pleasing to the eyes.
Zhou Jibai glanced at the mobile phone stuck in the middle of the magazine. He inadvertently stood up the book and the phone to cover his face. The rear camera of the phone quietly popped out and took a picture of the scene.
Although Zhou Jibai was a resolute and efficient leader in the group, handling his work with ease and being respected by everyone, he had only one principle: apart from necessary social engagements and international conferences, he would never handle any work after work.
He would lazily lean on the sofa and take a nap, or occasionally flip through magazines or novels.
After being immersed in the situation for too long, Shi Huai felt a little tired. He put down the pen in his hand and stretched.
Zhou Jibai's gaze drifted along with the noise she made. Seeing that Shi Huai had finally made some other movements, he slowly stood up: "It's almost eleven o'clock, go back to bed."
Shi Huai looked at the face in the portrait that he was almost done with and said softly, "It's just a little bit more. I'll paint for another half an hour."
Zhou Jibai didn't say anything, but still moved closer to Shi Huai.
Seeing that Zhou Jibai had no intention of giving in, Shi Huai felt a tightness in his heart and sat a little uncomfortably in his chair.
Suddenly, an idea came to her mind. She pouted, put her palm on her lips for a moment, made a "mua" sound, and stretched her palm towards Zhou Jibai.
A flying kiss.
After receiving a sudden flying kiss from Shi Huai, Zhou Jibai was stunned.
Shi Huai begged again, "Please! I swear, in half an hour I will go back to bed with you obediently!"
Shui Yangyang's eyes flickered with fragmented light, like apricot blossoms wet by the spring rain. She stared at Zhou Jibai eagerly, and it was difficult for her to say no.
Zhou Jibai pointed to his watch worth tens of millions of yuan with a serious face and said, "I've timed it."
"Okay, okay! I promise to do what I say!" After getting the consent, Shi Huai curled up the corners of his lips and immediately picked up the pen to start repairing.
Zhou Jibai sighed lightly and sat back on the sofa.
When it was half past eleven, seeing that Shi Huai still had no self-awareness, Zhou Jibai did not move, and said in a cold voice: "Shi Huai, it's half past eleven."
When Shi Huai heard Zhou Jibai's reminder, he immediately put down the pen in his hand, but his eyes were still reluctantly staring at the original work on the table.
"Let's go, let's go back to the room and sleep!" Shi Huai stood up from his seat and walked to Zhou Jibai, pulled his arm in a flattering manner and went back to the room with him to sleep.
Zhou Jibai chuckled, stood up and let her pull him.
*
This happened for several days in a row.
Shi Huai hasn't left the old house for several days. Apart from eating, he stays in the study every day, immersed in restoring the original work.
After Zhou Jibai got home from get off work, he listened to the servant's report.
"I invited the Young Madam several times today before she finally came out of the study. We didn't have lunch until a little after 1 p.m. After lunch, the Second Young Madam took a walk in the garden, but she returned within ten minutes. She hasn't left the study since then."
Zhou Jibai handed the suit to the servant and hummed, "I understand."
He went upstairs and pushed open the door to the study. He saw Shi Huai still diligently restoring the original. He didn't even hear the sound of him opening the door.
"Shi Huai."
Zhou Jibai called out softly.
But Shi Huai remained indifferent and didn't hear anyone calling her at all.
Zhou Jibai walked to the desk and waved his hand in front of Shi Huai.
His vision blocked, Shi Huai put down his pen and looked up at Zhou Jibai.
She was surprised for a moment: "When did you come?"
Zhou Jibai noticed the bloodshot in Shi Huai's eyes, and his brows knitted together: "You haven't left the study all day?"
Facing Zhou Jibai's questioning, Shi Huai lowered his eyes guiltily: "No... I spent an hour in the garden today! And took a nap in my room."
Little liar.
