Chapter 33 Fishy Rose
◎When you kissed me, you didn't say you disliked me so much.◎
How should I answer this question? Is it okay to praise someone's learning ability and kissing skills in front of others? Isn't that a bit too inconsiderate?
The long kiss just now caused Zhong Jiajing's brain to be a little deprived of oxygen. Now when she heard this question, her eyes went dark and she almost stumbled and fell to the ground.
She waved her hands dazedly. "I feel a little dizzy. I might need to go back to sleep."
Some things can't be rushed. Ji Nan nodded and said, "Go ahead. This is the first time I've seen someone use alcohol as a sleeping pill."
Zhong Jiajing had no intention of talking to him any further. She quickly ran back to her room, covered her head with the quilt, and fell asleep.
When I woke up again, it was already past ten in the morning. The rain was still pouring down. The room was already dark without the lights on, as if it was already five or six in the afternoon.
The heavy rain, the warm bed, and the slightly tipsy head, any one of these is an excellent aid to falling asleep, and Zhong Jiajing has them all.
It would definitely feel better if the kittens and puppies nestled in her arms, and Zhong Jiajing became even more greedy.
Sleeping on a rainy day can bring extreme comfort, but it will also inevitably leave behind the happy traces of back pain.
She sat at the head of the bed, hugging the quilt and lightly pounding her lower back, thinking that she wouldn't lose anything by agreeing to give it a try with Ji Nan.
After sitting there and blanking out for a while, Zhong Jiajing lifted the quilt and walked out.
Ji Nan was leaning on the sofa in the living room watching a movie. Zhong Jiajing took a glance and saw that it was the old movie "Roman Holiday".
There was nothing else in the house except the small sounds made by the pets playing and the dull sound of rain coming through the well-insulated windows.
The volume of the television was turned down to zero, and he felt like he was watching a pantomime.
Seeing Zhong Jiajing coming over, Ji Nan handed her the warm water he had just poured for himself. "You're awake so early? Is it because it looks dark, so your not-so-smart night owl system is messed up?"
He glanced at the time on his phone and said, "Or is it that, of all things, eating is the most important?"
If silence could turn into no rain, the entire Demon City would probably be driven to death by drought by Zhong Jiajing.
She sputtered, "If you can even watch a pantomime, can't you be more immersive and shut your spiteful little mouth?"
As she spoke, she seemed still unsatisfied and slammed the warm cup of water in her palm on the table. "Besides, who wants to drink the water you drank?"
Ji Nan said calmly, "You didn't say you disliked me so much when you kissed me."
Zhong Jiajing: “…”
The phone rang at the right time. It was a video call, and Ji Nan picked it up casually.
"I heard you went to Korea? Did you call me via video just so I could see your plastic surgery results?"
As Ji Nan spoke, he pulled Zhong Jiajing to sit down.
He even picked up Dongdong, who had occupied the doghouse, and stuffed him into her arms. His intention to please her was barely obvious.
Unfortunately, he chose the wrong gift. Ji Dongdong's revenge had not yet been resolved, and it rushed out like a madman.
Ji Nan was a little dumbfounded. He never expected that his lazy son could run at a world-class speed.
"Fuck you," the person on the other end of the phone roared, "With my looks, even if I had zero talent, I could easily win a championship as a vase."
"I'm telling you that you need to get treatment for your foul mouth immediately. Otherwise, how can you have the nerve to get a girlfriend?"
"You said you were always narrow-minded, but now I'm afraid the venom has taken over you, and your daily caution is starting to bite you back."
"Some people deserve it for not being able to find a wife, unlike me, who already has happiness firmly in my hands. I really feel sorry for you, brother."
A sarcastic tone continued to come from the phone, but no one present was listening at all, their attention was completely attracted by the little ghost Dongdong.
"Did you provoke it?" Ji Nan raised his eyebrows and looked at the girl in front of him who was lowering her head guiltily.
"Who are you provoking?" the other end of the line asked, bewildered. "I'm slandering you. Is your brain acting as a protective mechanism? Can't you hear it?"
Zhong Jiajing drooped her eyelashes and explained aggrievedly, "When I lifted the quilt yesterday, I accidentally threw the cat out with it."
She pulled the sofa pillow and quickly added, "But I brought it back to comfort her.
Yihua
It just seems to have no effect.”
Ji Nan was silent for a moment, then said, "A friend of mine came to visit, and he accidentally stepped on Dongdong's tail, and he held a grudge against him for three months."
"Three months!" Zhong Jiajing's facial features wrinkled into a ball. "Does that mean I won't be able to hold the baby this year?"
A female voice exclaimed on the other end of the line, "I knocked. I asked you out for dinner yesterday, but you didn't come. I even offered to visit you, but you refused. So, those friends you said were at home were actually your live-in girlfriends, right?"
Under his constant nagging, Ji Nan finally picked up his phone and replied.
"She hasn't agreed yet."
Zhong Jiajing's eyes flickered as she muttered, "I didn't say I disagree."
Ji Nan's eyes lit up, and he said to the man on the phone, "Doesn't your wife like Wei Ge? I'll get you two autographs in a few days. I'll give them to her as a birthday present in your name."
After saying that, he hung up the phone, completely ignoring the screams from the other end.
Zhong Jiajing blinked and asked cautiously, "Maybe you could make one for me too?"
That’s the most popular singer right now, Wei Ge! Who in the country hasn’t heard his songs?
"Are you giving your girlfriend a photo in the name of a boyfriend?" Ji Nan looked at her seriously and said.
Zhong Jiajing drank the remaining lukewarm water in one gulp and whispered, "Even if we don't get plastic surgery, we can still be boyfriend and girlfriend..."
Ji Nan laughed clearly, his eyes narrowed into slits, "Does this mean you agree to my request?"
"Maybe I just want to give birth to a Samoyed and a silver tabby without any pain." Zhong Jiajing muttered with a red face.
Seeing this, Ji Nan immediately stood up and picked up Dongdong and Duoduo from the corner and placed them at her feet.
"Come on, call me mom."
Duoduo's little head twisted left and right, then she barked twice softly at Zhong Jiajing, as if she really understood what people were saying.
Zhong Jiajing happily hugged the puppy and kissed it, but she felt a little worried when she thought of Dongdong who was trying to escape.
Ji Nan lifted the cat high and warned, "Englishman, who is the one who goes out early and comes back late to provide you with food and drink? Please recognize your position in the family."
As he said this, he opened a cat strip and stuffed it into Zhong Jiajing's hand, then put Dongdong, who was blinded by the food, on her thigh.
"Even a kitten understands the principle of being soft-hearted when eating someone's food."
The three people over there were already very close, and Ji Nan quickly carried out his task.
He held Zhong Heiya in his arms and shook him. "I've changed from a foster father to a biological father. Is Heiya happy?"
Zhong Jiajing had never seen a dog more servile than Heiya in her life. Whenever Ji Nan appeared, no matter whose arms the dog was in, it would rub against Ji Nan's arms and jump to his feet to whine.
The black duck was licking its face and grinning foolishly. Zhong Jiajing felt a little sour, "I've never seen it look like this towards its mother."
"It doesn't matter. After a long time, it will know how good you are." He said meaningfully.
Perhaps this was a disguised confession? Zhong Jiajing's face flushed.
Ji Nan turned up the volume of the TV and said, "You can watch TV for a while. If you're hungry, eat some bread. I'll go out to buy groceries and make lunch when I come back."
The rain is too heavy, so it’s not appropriate to order food delivery.
Ji Nan had no habit of cooking, and the family had almost no food at home except for instant food. The ingredients Zhong Jiajing brought wouldn't be enough for a meal for two, so they probably had to go out.
Zhong Jiajing stared at the rain outside and frowned, "How about making some porridge to make do?"
Ji Nan put on his coat and smoothed down her bangs, saying, "It's okay. I'll drive over."
The movie in the house was still playing. Zhong Jiajing was firmly sandwiched between the seats by the bay window by the two dogs on her left and right. Dongdong was lying on the floor one meter away, maintaining his Scorpio principles.
It was a little unbelievable that she was actually no longer single. Zhong Jiajing was a little dazed.
Her thoughts were brought back by a call from Ye Yaying, who asked, "Ms. Zhong, are you up yet?"
"Get up early. Social elites are always racing against time. We can't live like we did in our student days." She said nonsense casually.
"Guess why I called you after eleven o'clock? How could I not know what kind of person you are? You can get up at noon when the sun is high in the sky. It's a once-in-a-century chance that you can get up now when there is no sun today." Ye Yaying cursed.
She hesitated for a moment and then asked, "Well, although it may be a bit presumptuous, dear sister, please allow me to ask you a small question. I don't think you and Mr. Ji got anyone killed, right?"
The two have known each other for so many years, and Ye Yaying already knew how shameful Zhong Jiajing looked when she was drunk, so she asked the other three people in the dormitory if anyone had escaped her "harassment" when she was drunk?
She was very afraid that this rough guy would force himself on the person with a violent move, and then she would be the one who would suffer.
Zhong Jiajing grinned, "Hehe, even though there's no human life left, I've saved a dog's life and a cat's life."
She raised her phone, took a photo of herself and her furry friends and sent it over.
"I'm so sorry, we're a happy family of five now."
Ye Yaying was speechless. "My math grades aren't very good, but I've been counting since I was a kid. From left to right, and from right to left, there are only three dogs and one cat."
Zhong Jiajing didn't care that she called her a puppy. She smiled and said, "Didn't you say last night that Ji Nan is my husband? As a witness, you are so forgetful. You must be criticized."
“…”
It doesn’t matter, just hang up the phone and delete the call history as if nothing happened, Ye Yaying comforted herself, the only single guy left in the dormitory.
Ji Nan only returned when the movie was nearing its end.
Zhong Jiajing looked at his soaked trouser legs and said worriedly, "Go change your clothes quickly, I'll do it."
Ji Nan had his own plans. He nodded and said, "There's no rush to cook. You can pack the things in the bag first."
Although he just wanted to buy some random things, Ji Nan brought back three bags at once.
Zhong Jiajing first put the fruits, vegetables and other items neatly into the refrigerator, and then placed the snacks in the snack cabinet.
She stared at the last tightly sealed waterproof bag with some hesitation, wondering if it contained seafood or other ingredients.
Because she suspected that there was a living thing inside, Zhong Jiajing was cautious in opening it.
After carefully untying the bag, I found that there was only a bunch of bright red roses inside.
Ji Nan, who had changed his clothes, stood behind her and said, "The rain was really heavy. I was afraid it would get damaged, so I asked the owner of the seafood store for a bag to put it in."
He saw her frozen in place, so he approached the flowers suspiciously and smelled them, "Have they turned into fishy roses?"
Zhong Jiajing was very calm, "No, they are shrimps."
