Chapter 68 "There are always beautiful women in the world" "The affectionate one is annoyed by the heartless one."
On the lower back, an ink-wash butterfly entwined with branches and leaves, its wings a gradient of color, its delicate vines as fine as silk, entwining the outstretched butterfly like a hazy mist, the branches and leaves shackle the free-spirited butterfly, yet the butterfly willingly submits. The oriental charm and elegant artistic conception are particularly sexy when reflected on his narrow waist.
Shi Huai suddenly thought of her own rebellious high school days. Back then, she also wanted to get a tattoo, an ink-and-wash butterfly on her neck. Every breath she took was like the flutter of a butterfly's wings, full of life.
But later she was afraid of the pain and didn't dare to go. This wild idea was put aside in her mind.
Shi Huai asked softly, "Why do you still have tattoos?"
Zhou Jibai's eyelashes drooped as he answered nonchalantly, "I want a tattoo."
"You are not a good boy." Shi Huai muttered.
Zhou Jibai: "It's worth it to marry a good girl."
Shi Huai was too embarrassed to laugh out loud and held it back silently.
If Zhou Jibai knew me in high school, he would definitely not say that I was a good girl.
"I wanted to get a tattoo before." Shi Huai said.
The ointment on his back hadn't dried yet, and Zhou Jibai's pajamas were still pulled up high. He was lying on the bed, and when he heard Shi Huai's words, he sneered, "I advise you not to get a tattoo. It will affect your height."
Shi Huai leaned in front of him and asked in confusion, "Why haven't I heard of this? Could it be that tattoo ink can change genes?"
Zhou Jibai narrowed his eyes and stared at her: "Getting a tattoo will break your legs."
Shi Huai: ...
"I didn't see your leg broken."
Zhou Jibai grinned: "That's what you didn't see."
He couldn't help but focus all his heart and soul on the scars behind him. "When my grandma found out about my tattoo, the wound was much more serious. At least this time I can still walk."
Shi Huai was surprised: "Is it so serious?"
"Hmm." Zhou Jibai whispered.
"Then you still want to get a tattoo even though you know you'll be beaten?" Shi Huai was puzzled. "What's the meaning of this tattoo? Is it a commemoration of your ex-girlfriend?"
Zhou Jibai sneered, "Do I look like the kind of idiot who would tattoo someone else's name on his body?"
Shi Huai held up his chin: "It's hard to say."
Zhou Jibai: "Tsk."
"So what's the meaning of your tattoo?" Shi Huai pressed on. "You're willing to get it even at the risk of having your grandma break your leg. It must be very memorable, right?"
Zhou Jibai didn't refute this time, and hummed softly: "Indeed."
I didn't expect Zhou Jibai to answer so swiftly this time! Shi Huai blinked, wanting him to continue.
"Tangled branches."
"Um?"
"Entangled Branches is the name of this tattoo."
Shi Huai curled his lips: "Then what is the meaning of this butterfly's existence?"
"It's entangled in the branches." Zhou Jibai joked.
Shi Huai's face suddenly turned red, just because her nickname was Zhizhi.
"Haha, I think it's in memory of your ex-girlfriend?" Shi Huai sneered, "These branches and leaves are integrated with the butterfly. Haven't you heard the poem about the butterfly in love with the flower?"
"The willow fluff on the branches is blown away, and there is fragrant grass everywhere in the world."
"The laughter gradually fades and the voice becomes quieter, the affectionate one is annoyed by the heartless one."
Shi Huai specifically picked out the two most famous lines of poetry and recited them to Zhou Jibai. His tone was rhythmic and his face was full of joy as he said teasingly, "I didn't expect that Young Master Zhou Er would also be unable to find love when he was young?"
A taboo for couples is to talk about their ex at night.
Zhou Jibai's face was slightly gloomy, and he did not answer Shi Huai's words.
Shi Huai saw Zhou Jibai's unusual silence and realized that he seemed to have... hit the nail on the head...
She never expected that Zhou Jibai, the dignified and arrogant man who looked down upon everything and had no taboos, would actually be hurt by love?!
Shi Huai moved closer to him cautiously: "Um...I didn't mean it."
Zhou Jibai: "Well, it seems to be sincere to me."
For some reason, her heart felt heavy when she thought that Zhou Jibai had once deeply loved someone.
But then he thought again, he hadn't even been single before he met Zhou Jibai... What qualifications did he have to blame Zhou Jibai?
Shi Huai tugged at Zhou Jibai's clothes twice. "It's okay, it's all in the past. As the saying goes, old things must go before new things can come."
Zhou Jibai chuckled, "You're so experienced, I'm afraid you've had a lot of conversations, right?"
Shi Huai: ...
I chose to move quietly into the bed. It is not good for the relationship between husband and wife to talk about this late at night.
"Shi Huai, I don't have an ex-girlfriend, only you." Zhou Jibai's amber eyes met Shi Huai's, and he said this to her piously and solemnly.
Shi Huai's eyes flickered, and he was a little confused by Zhou Jibai's sudden words.
In other words, Zhou Jibai married me before he had ever been in a relationship?
A delicate pink flush appeared on Shi Huai's face. "Really?"
"Um."
"Then I will treat you well." Shi Huai also said solemnly.
Zhou Jibai was amused by Shi Huai's words. He always felt that there was something unreliable in them.
"How do you want to be nice to me?" Zhou Jibai moved close to her and quietly took Shi Huai into his arms.
"I will only be good to you for the rest of my life! Special, special, special!"
Zhou Jibai smiled sweetly at Shi Huai's words, "And then?"
Shi Huai leaned against his chest, stretched out her fingers and circled around his collarbone, "Well... I'll give you another baby."
At this point, Shi Huai suddenly looked up and said to Zhou Jibai very seriously, "A woman is willing to sacrifice her body to bear a child for you. This is already the greatest gift you can give."
"It's my great honor." Zhou Jibai responded in a low voice.
Then, Zhou Jibai held Shi Huai's hand, brought it to his lips and kissed it gently: "You said that you would be extremely, extremely, extremely good to me and only me in this life."
Shi Huai nodded affirmatively: "You are my only husband."
"Tsk, how many more do you want?"
Shi Huai pouted. She had once imagined having eighteen husbands taking turns to serve her. However, she didn't dare tell Zhou Jibai, fearing that this jealous guy would get jealous again.
"I'll go for a prenatal checkup this weekend, so I can have a good rest now, right?" Zhou Jibai said.
"Uh-huh!"
Shi Huai had been so busy lately that she had forgotten about the prenatal checkup. Unexpectedly, Zhou Jibai was still thinking about it.
She arched her back into Zhou Jibai's arms and said, "Time passes so slowly. How come our baby is only four months old?"
In fact, it’s still a week away from being four months old.
Shi Huai's belly didn't show any movement, and she didn't look pregnant at all.
Zhou Jibai's palm involuntarily rested lightly on Shi Huai's lower abdomen, "Zhou Jianqiang, you must grow up well."
Shi Huai gritted his teeth: "...Get lost."
