Chapter 40 They've already kissed, she's all his now.
The room was still the same room, but it seemed like something was missing.
Pei Jiuyan strode to the foot of the bed, opened the wardrobe, and found that the wardrobe, which should have been full of clothes, was now almost empty, with only a few of his clothes hanging there forlornly.
The dressing table was basically emptied. Pei Jiuyan turned to look at the three large snakeskin bags and couldn't help but laugh in exasperation.
How come I never noticed before that this girl is so proactive? If it hadn't been so late yesterday, would she have packed her bags and left the moment she brought up divorce?
Pei Jiuyan turned to look at Qin Suisui on the bed, thinking carefully about what this brat had eaten in the past three years to make her heart so hard.
But at first glance, he sensed something was wrong.
Qin Suisui's face was frighteningly red at this moment!
Pei Jiuyan quickly reached out and touched her forehead. It was burning hot! Alarmingly hot! Even without a thermometer, he knew her temperature was definitely over 39°C!
Moreover, Qin Suisui hasn't woken up since he came in. This little girl is usually a very light sleeper; he doesn't even dare get dressed in her room before his morning training, afraid of waking her. This is clearly not right!
Pei Jiuyan picked him up and ran downstairs.
Aunt Wu and Aunt Tu from the first floor also came out. When they saw Pei Jiuyan carrying Qin Suisui downstairs with a sullen face, they were startled. When they went over to take a look, they found that Qin Suisui's expression was strange.
"Oh, what's going on? I have a fever!"
"Did you stay up all night for days and get exhausted? It's all our fault!"
"Get her to the hospital right away!"
The two sisters-in-law were immediately filled with remorse. The child was in imminent danger, and they were too anxious. They had forgotten that Qin Suisui had also been through several days of hardship. Even a person made of iron could not withstand such an ordeal!
Pei Jiuyan didn't say anything, and couldn't wait for a car to be called over. He picked up the person and ran to the hospital.
It's breakfast time in the early morning, and since almost everyone in the residential compound was woken up by the pre-dawn broadcast, they're either eating or making breakfast right now.
The second residential compound is located inside the compound, so many people saw Pei Jiuyan carrying someone and running wildly outwards.
Everyone's minds immediately started racing: "Oh no! They've caused this mess! They've gone too far, driving that young girl to suicide!"
The news of Qin Suisui's suicide quickly spread throughout the entire family compound.
The villagers who were responsible for delivering vegetables to the military compound also heard about it, and it quickly spread back to the village. Within a morning, almost everyone in the surrounding villages knew that the little benefactor they had wronged had committed suicide!
In the hospital.
Pei Jiuyan stood guard by Qin Suisui's bedside, his eyes fixed on the person on the bed.
Aunt Liu came over carrying a thermal lunchbox. Seeing him like this, she sighed, "Ayan, Sui Sui just hasn't rested for too long and is too tired. The doctor said she's fine now and is just sleeping. You should go and eat something. I'll take care of things here!"
Pei Jiuyan shook his head and said nothing.
Doctor Zhao also came over. She and Pei Jiuyan were old acquaintances. Seeing Pei Jiuyan, she felt a little sorry for him: "I'm sorry, Yan, this is indeed my fault. When Sui Sui came to me and said it might be the Japanese encephalitis virus, I was a little anxious. Later, after the test confirmed that it was indeed the Japanese encephalitis virus, I hurried to report it to the higher-level hospital. I didn't expect these messages to be circulated in the hospital."
Dr. Zhao felt truly guilty. By the time she returned from the higher-level hospital, the rumors had already spread. However, when she returned to her office, she learned that Qin Suisui had visited the hospital again after she left, leaving behind a series of prescriptions for encephalitis B virus and various mosquito prevention and repellent measures.
She also found the dean in time to explain things clearly, but as the saying goes, "Good news doesn't travel far, but bad news travels a thousand miles." Rumors about the "capitalist lady" are most likely to touch people's sensitive nerves, and rumors are no longer something they can control.
On the farm next to the wild forest, Xue Jiao was led out by the administrator. Seeing Xiao Sheng waiting beside her, her eyes lit up. She straightened her hair and clothes, then walked over quickly and held out her hand to Xiao Sheng. "I know you, you're Pei Jiuyan's guard! Did he ask you to pick me up?"
Xiao Sheng hesitated for a moment, then nodded.
Xue Jiao's smile widened: "He knows Qin Suisui's true colors, doesn't he? Just as I thought! I knew that once he knew Qin Suisui's true colors, he would definitely come back to me!"
Xiao Sheng, though only 20 years old, frowned like an 80-year-old. He explained to Xue Jiao, somewhat speechlessly, "Comrade Xue Jiao, I am here on orders from above to take you to deal with matters related to the defamation of Comrade Qin Suisui."
What Xiao Sheng didn't say was that this woman might be criticized and denounced, yet she still had designs on his superior!
Xue Jiao instinctively stepped back: "What slander? Weren't you going to find Pei Jiuyan? I'm not going to find the leader, I'm going to find my brother!"
Xue Jiao panicked at this moment. How could she be considered slandering her? Hadn't she just asked her sister-in-law to spread the news that Qin Suisui was the daughter of a capitalist?
No, she absolutely couldn't go with them alone; her brother had to be there. Xue Jiao realized then that in this world, only her brother was worthy of her trust and reliance.
Xiao Sheng tried to reason with her, "Captain Xue is in danger now because you and your sister-in-law Yang Rucui conspired to murder military dependents, causing harm to innocent comrades. Therefore, the organization has issued an order that this matter must be dealt with seriously."
Xue Jiao was dumbfounded: "What murder of a military family member? I just asked my sister-in-law to spread the news that Qin Suisui is a capitalist's daughter. What did I plot?"
What Xue Jiao didn't know was that in Commander Jia's office that morning, under the watchful eyes of several leaders, Yang Rucui had already confessed the whole story with her neck hunched over. The only thing she concealed was that she said Xue Jiao had told her that the Japanese encephalitis virus outbreak was related to Qin Suisui, and that she knew nothing about it and had been misled.
Yang Rucui only realized the enormity of her troubles when she heard the broadcast outside this morning. However, she's never been one to let herself suffer internally. Since the deed was done, the most important thing now was to find a solution. After much thought, she decided to shift the blame onto Xue Jiao. After all, it was Xue Jiao who told her Qin Suisui's identity. Besides, Xue Jiao was currently undergoing ideological reform; one crime is one crime, two crimes wouldn't be too much. She could take the blame herself; she couldn't drag the whole family down with her, could she? She'd consider it Xue Jiao repaying her for raising her all these years!
But she didn't expect that Commander Jia would actually have Xue Jiao brought over to confront her!
Xue Jiao naturally objected, and the two women, sister-in-law and aunt, started arguing right there in the division commander's office!
Qin Suisui was unaware of this; she slept until after 5 p.m. The afterglow of the setting sun shone through the window onto her, casting an orange-red glow on her face.
Qin Suisui frowned, slowly opened her eyes, and met a pair of deep eyes.
Having slept all day, she was somewhat disoriented, even experiencing temporary amnesia. Seeing Pei Jiuyan staring at her, she frowned, covered her face, and, in a fit of morning grumpiness, kicked him playfully: "Quick, draw the curtains! It's so hot! You're making me get a tan!"
Pei Jiuyan was stunned. He had imagined many possibilities, thinking about how he would refuse her request for a divorce after she woke up. But before he could say anything, he was kicked.
Pei Jiuyan, who had been on edge all day, instantly relaxed. He couldn't help but chuckle softly as he walked over and drew the curtains. It was almost June, and even at five in the afternoon, the sun on Qiongtan Island was still quite strong. It was his fault that the young lady was so concerned about her appearance.
Pei Jiuyan drew the curtains, then helped the person up, his voice extremely gentle: "You've slept all day, are you hungry? Aunt Tang cooked your favorite shrimp and crab porridge this afternoon and brought it over, would you like some?"
Qin Suisui rubbed her aching forehead and scanned the room. It was all white. She was lying on a single bunk bed. Could this be a hospital? What were those piles of fruit and snacks on the table? And why was there a bouquet of flowers? Where was she? What was she doing?
Ah! Right! Divorce! She wants to divorce Pei Jiuyan! What time is it now? I must have been half asleep.
Pei Jiuyan found it amusing to see her bewildered expression and her eyes darting around. He walked to a table, poured the shrimp and crab porridge into a small bowl, and was about to hand it to her when he heard her blurt out, "When are we getting a divorce?"
Pei Jiuyan paused, his hand holding the bowl still. He poured the porridge back into the thermos, turned around and walked to Qin Suisui's side, his face serious and earnest like never before: "Why have you been wanting a divorce? Is it because I didn't protect you well enough? I apologize to you and promise you that this will never happen again!"
Qin Suisui shook her head blankly: "No, I'm afraid of implicating you. You know, I'm most afraid of..."
Pei Jiuyan interrupted her through gritted teeth: "I'm not just anyone, I'm your husband! We're a legally married couple!"
Qin Suisui lowered her head: "I know, but you were willing to marry me because of an agreement between our elders, right? Now that our family is in this situation, there's really no need to deliberately abide by this agreement. I think my parents don't want to drag you down either..."
Pei Jiuyan laughed out of anger again. He suddenly stretched out his big hands like iron pliers, grabbed Qin Suisui's little face, lifted it up forcefully, and kissed her heavily.
Qin Suisui was stunned. Her eyes widened, and she felt as if her breath had been stolen away, her lips and teeth filled with the unique hormonal scent of Pei Jiuyan.
He...he...he actually kissed her! What should she do? Why is she so upset?
Just when she felt so uncomfortable she was about to explode, she heard a gentle voice reminding her, "Exhale."
Qin Suisui finally breathed a sigh of relief, as if a robot had found the right instructions, and felt completely comfortable.
Pei Jiuyan chuckled softly, biting her lip. It was only when he touched the girl's soft lips that his mind came to a complete sense of reality, but now that he had kissed her, she was his, and she wasn't going to run away!
