Chapter 16 16. Size “You could also say the size is not right. …
My whole body is about to burn. Can I watch this for free?
The faint light beneath the water vapor repeatedly reminded her that the answers to the questionnaire were quite rigorous and it was she who was ignorant.
She tilted her neck back, inserted her fingers into her hair, the blue veins on her neck blended with the water flow, and she shook her head casually. Mi Yanyan couldn't take her eyes off it at all. She was so engrossed in watching that she didn't notice the arc of her neck gradually tilting.
A flash of light swept over her, and she instantly looked forward. The sound of water stopped. She rubbed her knees with her fingers, her eyes falling on the toiletry bag that Shi Jingzhou had brought. She flipped through it casually and saw her lace bra and panties lying inside...
"How dare you open my closet without permission?" He turned around and glared at me with his almond-shaped eyes, then returned to his seat in an instant.
Okay, okay, now I understand it completely. I’m not lying.
A hand brushed past her ear, avoiding her change of clothes, and took out a black T-shirt and black shorts. Her voice was calm, "You can't tell Aunt Chen. I'll be the only one to sort out the clothes."
The tone is rather aggrieved, but at first glance it all sounds reasonable.
She obediently shut up, waiting for the ball of steam to finish dressing and stand before her. She raised her eyes, her memory filtering out all obstructions, and climbed up to the cold neck, asking, "Did you shower with cold water?"
He lifted her up to her waist with his large hands and asked with a dazed look in his eyes, "What else?"
She blushed and buried her head in the crook of his neck. Then she heard Shi Jingzhou's soft voice drift by, "Does it look good?"
......
She gritted her teeth, turned her head away to avoid looking at him, and replied crisply: "It's not good-looking, it hurts my eyes."
There was one more person in the ward. The scent of bath water replaced disinfectant. Mi Yanyan felt inexplicably happy. Apart from the slight itchiness of the wound, everything was fine. Shi Jingzhou got up from the sofa and sat down beside her bed, holding down her restless hand. "You can scratch it, but you won't be able to wear high heels in the future. Think about it."
She hit her right hand with her left hand, but Shi Jingzhou held her hand and turned her upside down on the quilt. The coolness passed and the heat returned.
It's amazing that the two of them have never held hands seriously, but they have interlocked their fingers on many special occasions.
He sat back and swiped the tablet on the bedside table. Mi Yanyan tilted her head to look at the drug information. She mentioned, "Our hospital has been using the drugs made by Ruisi."
Two years ago, several major domestic pharmaceutical brands entered the veterinary medicine market, focusing on the pet sector and gradually replacing the categories originally monopolized by foreign brands. They are affordable and have comparable effects. From the initial resistance and distrust of customers to now occupying a large market share, the road has been difficult, but the results are gratifying.
"We've acquired Zhongpai Supply Chain, and we'll be promoting more domestically produced medicines in the pet healthcare sector nationwide," Shi Jingzhou turned up the air conditioning, tucked a pillow behind Mi Yanyan's waist, sat down, and held her hand again. "The R&D cycle is long, the investment is high, and the returns are slow. It's very stressful."
The first time I heard Shi Jingzhou talk about work, the frustration in his eyes was something he had never seen before. Ruisi was a massive organization, and veterinary medicine was only a small part of it. He faced even greater challenges.
"Where is the vaccine?" Mi Yanyan asked.
"The jointly developed cat triple vaccine has obtained the approval number. It is prepared with a strong strain and has stronger immunogenicity. The virus content per 1ml is 20% higher than the standard."
"That will allow us to achieve a higher immune response." She exclaimed in amazement. This is a major step forward in Chinese medicine technology. It is hypoallergenic, targeted at domestic cat viruses, but the price is lower.
"Well, we've launched clinical trials in 300 cities, and no side effects have been found so far."
According to the plan, it will be gradually listed at the beginning of next year, and Shi Jingzhou will be one step closer to the Ruisi sector. This step determines that he will have more say than Shi Zekai, until the entire Ruisi Bio is swallowed up. At that time, the subsequent development of a certain sector will no longer be his priority.
"That's great. For so many years, foreign pharmaceutical companies like Huiteng, Lipei, and Weibang have monopolized most categories of hospital drug supply chains, but the proportion of foreign-origin APIs is only a single-digit percentage. If our independent research and development capabilities improve, the cost of treating animals will be reduced. Many diseases that are difficult to treat or even affordable can now be treated in a timely manner."
Mi Yanyan's eyes were full of stars when she looked at him. Shi Jingzhou smiled back at her and suddenly felt a little indescribable emotion. He pinched his soft fingers and comforted himself in his heart that they just had different perspectives.
"Would you like some fruit?" Shi Jingzhou stood up and took it from the coffee table. Ye Jinhe had come and brought two fruit baskets and four bouquets of flowers, decorating the ward to the hilt.
Her palms were also covered with a thin layer of sweat. It was time for everyone to cool down. She replied, "Okay."
The transparent glass box was washed and placed on the bedside. Shi Jingzhou sat with his legs crossed and peeled an apple. The circles connected together were like springs.
"You look especially like my grandfather now." He didn't choose from so many fruits, but just took out an apple, and he even brought his own knife. Mi Yanyan's tone softened when she saw this.
"It's my honor to be like the old man." He pinched the apple between his left middle finger and thumb, inserted a knife in his right hand, and applied a little force. A piece of light yellow flesh fell into the bowl, which soon filled it up.
Not seeing the fork, he went to look for a substitute. When he turned around, Mi Yanyan was already holding the food with a knife and fork and putting it into her mouth. The scene was really thrilling.
I don't know where I got a pair of chopsticks from, and replaced the knife in her hand. Mi Yanyan's cheeks puffed up and she said with a smile: "Why, didn't you eat like this when you were a child?"
"No, it's very dangerous." He took out a tissue and carefully wiped the moisture off the knife. Without looking up, he continued, "You're married now. You must protect yourself in everything you do. If anything happens, you should tell me immediately."
The apple makes a crunching sound when you bite it, and the sweetness is felt between your teeth.
She handed the bowl back to Shi Jingzhou and watched him eat the last few pieces. She felt as if the day was just coming to an end, and her eyes were sore for a second or two.
"I have something to tell you," Mi Yanyan thought for a long time and finally decided to say it, "My mother went to Zhongshan Villa privately and entered our bedroom. I apologize to you on her behalf."
No matter what, this is Shi Jingzhou and her home. It is really offensive for him to rummage through the drawers without saying hello. She minds it, and Shi Jingzhou, who has obsessive-compulsive disorder, must find it even more unacceptable.
He didn't react much, but leaned over again to hold Mi Yanyan's hand that she couldn't help but scratch, and replied: "I don't care. If you mind, just ask Aunt Chen not to open the door for her next time."
I never thought that Shi Jingzhou would say such words. It was so treasonous that it seemed like as long as you and I are happy in this world.
"Do you know there are condoms in the drawer?" She spoke so softly that the last few words were almost inaudible.
"Yeah." Shi Jingzhou nodded. He had seen it a long time ago. The two boxes were placed there neatly, with no one paying attention to them and about to grow weeds.
"My mom put it there on the day we moved," she said angrily, her eyes looking like someone had hidden a bomb next to their bed. "She said we weren't having sex."
These four words are even more painful to the mouth. Not only are there no sounds, but the mouth shapes are also extremely blurry.
"What did you say?" Shi Jingzhou asked her with a smile.
There was a long silence. He had already guessed that Mi Yanyan was probably blaming him, calling him a useless husband or something like that.
"I said, we don't use contraception."
“…”
This was unexpected. Shi Jingzhou laughed out loud. She tried to cover her face with her hands and took his hands to lean on her hot face.
He simply turned his wrist and pinched her chin. Her lips with the scent of apple were right in front of him. He stroked them a few times and got some water droplets on them.
He put more effort and leaned closer. The same bath scent on their bodies exchanged with each other, and Mi Yanyan's nose tip almost touched his.
"You could also say it's the wrong size."
She joked with genuine actions, then let go of her hand and took the glass bowl to wash it. She was still frightened by the sound of running water.
Just now, he was just a little bit away from kissing me.
Hospital stays wear down people's spirits. Mi Yanyan would ask anyone she caught when they would be discharged, even if it meant leaving half an hour earlier. She was anxious, but Shi Jingzhou wasn't at all. He spent half his day in meetings and on the phone. The nurses who came in would occasionally joke, "Sister, your husband is very busy, but he's very handsome."
She smiled awkwardly and casually asked the doctor when he would make rounds today because she wanted to go home.
I miss puppies and kittens.
On the last day, after breakfast, Jing Zhou went to get the follow-up report. Before leaving, he told her, "Be prepared. Mom and Dad know you're in the hospital and they'll probably be here soon."
Mi Yanyan almost choked to death while biting a boiled egg in her mouth.
Less than five minutes after they finished talking here, Ye Qionghua's voice rang out in the corridor, and the door opened, revealing three people.
Shi's parents and Aunt Chen looked both hurt and angry.
After checking it up and down and left and right, Shi Ting raised the film towards the light and shadow outside the window to confirm it again and again.
"You hid such a big thing from us. If your mother-in-law hadn't called to tell us about the wedding, we would have thought you went back to your parents' home to be with Grandpa." Ye Qionghua sat on the edge of the bed, her eyes sweeping over Shi Jingzhou. "And you, why didn't you give Yanyan a driver? If she got into an accident while driving, you're also responsible."
"Yes, I'll arrange it when I get back." Shi Jingzhou stood straight without arguing and took it all.
drive?
Mi Yanyan looked at Shi Jingzhou and saw that he slightly raised the corners of his lips.
She almost bowed to him, thanking him for helping her cover up her lie and sparing the motorcycle.
"Speaking of the wedding," Ye Qionghua went on to the next topic, "Our two families have agreed to hold it in the spring. You can choose the location, but it shouldn't be too far away, as our elders won't be able to move around."
Mi Yanyan had no idea how marriage was suddenly on the agenda. She winked at Shi Jingzhou again, but he didn't respond this time. His eyes were dull and his gaze fell on her hands.
"You two should give us some opinions, whether it's okay or not." Shi Ting walked around and stood beside his son again.
The Shi family had been thinking about the wedding, but since the two children hadn't mentioned it, they couldn't arrange it. After all, they had no emotional connection, so they wanted to let things take their own course. They hadn't expected the Mi family's mother to bring it up, and it would have been impolite not to arrange it.
"Xiaoyan, what do you think?" Ye Qionghua pulled her wrist, anticipation almost showing in his eyes.
It's going to happen sooner or later, it's going to be a knife anyway, she smiled lightly, "I'm fine with it, I'll listen to my parents."
Shi Ting nudged the person next to him and asked symbolically, "Ancestor, how about you?"
Shi Jingzhou raised his eyes and answered calmly.
"I'm fine with either. I'll listen to my wife."
