Chapter 7 Chapter 7 There was a soft cream sandwich lying on the bed
The lingering fragrance in the bathroom has not yet dissipated, and when I step into the bedroom, a different smell lingers in the air.
Shi Jingzhou fixed his gaze on the source of the moisturizing mark on his skin. The texture was mellow. Automatic analysis revealed strawberry milk blend, glycerin, propylene glycol, sodium hyaluronate...
Mi Yanyan couldn't laugh, and had to pretend to be calm. She secretly picked up the corner of the quilt to cover her thighs and asked in a calm tone.
"Are you...done washing?"
He regretted it the moment he asked. Shi Jingzhou had only been in the bathroom for two minutes, and even the high-pressure water gun on his head couldn't completely wash it.
As God knows, she pricked up her ears and listened to the sound of water before she felt at ease to apply body lotion.
"I didn't take pajamas." Shi Jingzhou couldn't answer her question. He walked to the bed, grabbed clothes, and then stopped.
The person in front of him was stiff and motionless, holding a tube of aluminum paste in his hand, with milky white liquid oozing out of the opening from time to time.
He suddenly stretched out his hand, meaning - give it to me.
Mi Yanyan raised her head and widened her eyes, "How about you take a shower first and then use it after you're done?"
Shi Jingzhou didn't say anything else, leaving his arm hanging in the air, so she had no choice but to hand it over.
I couldn't see through his intention. He was trying to grab her body lotion when she hadn't even finished applying it. Besides, what normal man would take the initiative to use the sweet and fragrant strawberry and milk flavored body lotion.
Shi Jingzhou turned his two fingers, stared at them for a few seconds, put them back in her hand, and then pinched the trace of stain on his fingertips.
"Excessive use of chemical fragrances can be harmful and useless if used long-term."
“…”
There was no emotion in his words, just like the steady professors on health programs. There was no concern in his voice, only a strong sense of dogmatism.
Mi Yanyan quietly clenched her fists. Since she was at the Shi family, it was particularly important for her to maintain a gentle image. Thousands of words in silence turned into a suppressed smile at the corner of her mouth, indicating that the other party could leave.
When Shi Jingzhou came out of the shower, the big bed was already two-thirds occupied. He didn't blow-dry his hair, but simply sat on the sofa and waited for it to dry naturally. He flipped through his phone and saw Ye Jinhe's missed call, so he replied.
【What's up. 】
Ye Jinhe's voice was cut off again by him, [Type.]
The other party pauses the call and displays the message "input is in progress".
[My aunt said my sister-in-law is coming home for dinner today? Why didn't she call me? I really want to see her in person.]
Shi Jingzhou didn't understand what his cousin said, so he put down his phone and wiped his hair with a towel.
The person on the bed pursed their lips in sleep, resting their oval face on the soft pillow, resting their hand on it. Their drooping eyelashes occasionally fluttered, casting a faint dark shadow under their eyes. They were sleeping very lightly, as if they could wake at any moment.
He turned off the last dim light and immersed himself in the darkness.
The upside-down phone buzzed three times. He grabbed it and frowned, then the screen lit up and showed constantly refreshing photos.
【Is this my sister-in-law? 】
[So beautiful, so beautiful.] The doctor's profile photo looked quite old. In it, Mi Yanyan still had her hair cut to her ears, the ends curling slightly inward, creating a charming curve around her snow-white neck. She wore a blue surgical gown under her white lab coat, her hands in her pockets, and a slight smile on her face.
Scrolling down, there are photos of her seeing patients, with cats, dogs and other pets in her arms. In the last photo, there is a snake coiled around her wrist, its body snaking as it looks at her with a smile.
She responded gently, her eyes free and relaxed, without any nervousness or anxiety.
[Brother, your wife is so handsome, you are not worthy of her. ]
He enlarged the photo and saw a watermark in the lower right corner. It was a well-known red-icon APP, but he didn't have it on his phone.
Seeing that the other party didn't reply for a long time, Ye Jinhe teased again: [Do you want me to share the link with you? There are many photos of my sister-in-law. ]
Finally waiting for a reply, Ye Jinhe picked it up and took a look. As usual, there were three cold words: [Not needed.]
Two hours later, Shi Jingzhou got up again, his hair was completely dry, the silver charging port was inserted into the heating groove, and the mobile phone battery icon turned red, with 3% remaining power.
Under the dim light, someone was lying on the bed at an angle, with the only quilt rolled up underneath her body. A bit of pink and white lace was visible at the edge of her pajamas, mixed with the lingering frankincense in the room, and it seemed as if a soft cream-filled egg roll was lying on the bed.
Too sweet can easily cause a rapid rise in blood sugar, which is not good for your health and body shape.
Don't eat.

"Xiaoyan, come and eat the cake, it's just out of the oven." Ye Qionghua stood in front of the black oven and pulled out the tray with heat-insulating gloves. The chiffon cake climbed very high, and after shaking a few times, the fragrance filled the entire restaurant.
She stroked her hair, quickly shook off the sleepiness, and replied with a smile: "Here I come."
When she woke up, there was no one around her. She remembered that Shi Jingzhou was sleeping next to her last night. Around five or six in the morning, she dimly saw him get up and tinker with the air conditioner panel.
During the hottest days of the year in South City, this person always likes to turn off the air conditioner in the middle of the night, causing her to wake up several times due to the heat.
She sank a small spoon into the cream and took a bite of fresh strawberry flesh. It was sweet and smooth in the mouth, and tasted better than she expected. She wanted to praise it, but when she looked up, she saw Shi Jingzhou pushing his portion in front of her.
The fresh scent of the shower wafted through his body at all times. He had already changed into a shirt and trousers, and silently finished half a vegetable salad, sliced chicken breast, and hard-to-swallow whole wheat bread.
You keep eating these same few things, don’t you ever get tired of them?
Shi Jingzhou lifted the sugar-free, milk-free coffee from his hand and brought it to his lips. His Adam's apple rolled as his broad hands gripped the ceramic cup. The veins in his wrists were visible, spreading down his forearms, his muscles toned and defined. He must have been very particular about his figure; the food he ate was more about health than taste, which was quite boring.
Beneath the tissue, the bored man coughed twice, not as if he had choked on water, because he quickly resumed coughing. Ye Qionghua looked up at the sound and asked, "Jingzhou, are you feeling unwell?" She was a doctor, and the sound of phlegm suggested a cold.
Mi Yanyan also followed his gaze. He took a breath and replied, "It's okay."
Such a big guy is busy with fitness and running every day, eats a balanced diet for every meal, and doesn't use air conditioning at night.
Even though I take care of my health like an athlete, I still can't avoid getting sick. Age really doesn't spare me.
The conclusion is that Shi Jingzhou is old and very weak.
After finishing a portion of cake, her stomach was half full. She felt embarrassed to waste her mother's kindness, but also angry that Jingzhou didn't eat any himself and was putting pressure on her. The cream stuck in her throat. She gently nudged his arm and asked with a smile, "Would you like some?" Afraid he wouldn't respond, she grabbed a small spoon and scooped a piece herself.
The look in his eyes carries a warning: Take your things away quickly, I’m almost dying of stuff!
The person next to her glanced at the spoon, then looked at her and replied confidently, "I won't eat it."
If you don’t want to eat it, tell your mother. What are you doing to me? Mi Yanyan had no choice but to turn the hanging spoon around and stuff it into her mouth.
She felt so full, she rubbed her belly.
Before I could swallow it, the whole plate was taken away, including the spoon, and everything disappeared...
The person next to him quickly finished the rest. Jingzhou covered his mouth and coughed again, not knowing if it was too sweet. He stood up and glanced down at her, "Let's go. We're going to be late for work."
One button of his neatly ironed shirt was undone, revealing the slightly red skin on his neck due to the vibration, which looked like the marks of being pinched, exuding an inexplicable sense of abstinence.
Also, that's the spoon she used.
However, Shi Jingzhou didn't seem to care. Maybe he just didn't want to waste it, or didn't want his mother to see his disappointment.
Mi Yanyan withdrew her gaze in panic and waved to the Shi family's parents at the other end of the dining table. Her tone was sweet and calm, "Mom and Dad, we will go to work first. We will come back to see you when we have time."
Shi Ting, who had spent a rare morning with Ye Qionghua, packed up the prepared dishes and handed them to his son, admonishing him, "No matter how busy you are at the company, remember to go home and have dinner with your wife often." He then smiled and told Mi Yanyan, "I made this according to your taste. Try it. If you like it, ask me to make it more often."
The first time she heard someone mention the word "wife" in front of Shi Jingzhou, she unconsciously looked at his expression, the corners of her mouth curved slightly, and replied, "I know."
It was unclear whether he was being perfunctory or agreeing. He took the thermal bag calmly and waited very politely for her to change her shoes before going out together.
From the moment they arrived to the moment they left, Mi Yanyan suddenly felt a little sad. Shi Jingzhou's parents were far different from what she had imagined, and they were overly tolerant and considerate towards her. After a few words, she really felt a little bit like a daughter-in-law. In addition to the warmth in her heart, she also felt a little ashamed.
They should be matched with a daughter-in-law who is truly gentle, intelligent and family-oriented, rather than someone like her who is hypocritical.
The car slowly drove out of the residential complex and headed towards the crisscrossing south city center. Uncle Wu tried his best to avoid congested roads, but still waited three times at a traffic light and was unable to pass.
She focused all her attention out the window. The patience, etiquette, and counterattack and revenge that her mother talked about the most year after year formed an impenetrable net in her mind. She tried to break through through the gap, but was pulled back at the critical point of escape.
From the moment he got on the bus, Shi Jingzhou sat far away from her, at the end on the left, without saying a word. I wonder if he also sensed that he had married an insincere wife. When his parents' earnest hopes were exposed, perhaps he, like her, would inevitably feel disappointed.
This distance is the best proof.
After Uncle Wu stepped on the brakes, he waited in the middle of the road, pretending to casually observe the situation behind him through the rearview mirror.
The wife is worried, and the husband knows that she is worried.
The wife looked outside, and the husband looked at his wife for the tenth time.
Green light, go, for the eleventh time.
Shi Jingzhou's throat was itchy. He took the bottle of mineral water and opened it, suppressing a cough that was about to burst out. "Uncle Wu, open the window."
The ground temperature is about to break through the 40-degree mark, and the Meteorological Bureau has issued a high temperature warning.
He actually wants to open the window?
Mi Yanyan's cheek was burned by the scorching sun. She covered half of it and asked him, "Do you want to go and have a look?"
Go see a doctor right away. You are so afraid of the cold. Are you colder than a woman?
Then I thought, my body was very hot when I was sleeping in the quilt.
According to traditional Chinese medicine, it is probably caused by excessive internal heat and a strong exterior but weak interior.
Half an hour later, they finally arrived near Mi Yanyan Hospital. Seeing that it was less than a hundred meters away, she grabbed her bag and rushed to the driver's seat.
"Uncle Wu, please just put me down in front."
The sign for Jianuo Pet Hospital was barely visible from this spot. Shi Jingzhou frowned slightly, her coughs raspy. She turned around and reluctantly explained, "This car is too conspicuous. I'm worried it'll have a bad impact on my colleagues if they see it."
"Are you going to have a secret marriage?" Shi Jingzhou's eyes were embedded in her pupils. He was well-behaved and obedient in front of others, but he would say something shocking if he wasn't paying attention.
Mi Yanyan heard a very new word.
The two of them had indeed not discussed the extent to which they would disclose their marriage to the outside world. However, it was clear that the outside world was also unaware of Shi Jingzhou's updated marital status.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have been considered one of the women who rushed after the successor of the Shi family that night in the bar.
If he didn't announce it on his own initiative, she naturally wouldn't rush to tell him.
"Secret marriage is not bad either."
Doctor Mi is incredibly popular in the hospital, but being married is a hindrance.
"Why?" Shi Jingzhou raised his eyebrows and looked over.
She beckoned Shi Jingzhou to come closer, leaned over and whispered softly in his ear, "The premise of our marriage is that we don't bother each other. You said you wouldn't care about me, right?"
The sweet smile hides a dagger that pierces the heart. Mi Yanyan brought out the countless conversations between the two of them and used Shi Jingzhou's words to remind him to remember to abide by them.
It sounded so harsh that Shi Jingzhou not only felt an itchy throat but also a stuffy chest.
Mi Yanyan realized belatedly that her words were a bit sharp, and looking at Shi Jingzhou's slightly pale face, she added a sentence.
"There are so many customers at the hospital entrance, and I'm afraid everyone will gossip about it. If it's a commercial vehicle next time, it doesn't matter where you get off."
It's true that you can't blame her. Shi Jingzhou's car today is a Rolex, and its black streamlined body is too flashy.
When she paused, her colleagues and clients saw that it was really difficult to continue with the work today.
Soon she wanted to slap herself in the face.
Shi Jingzhou looked calm, raising his eyelids and looking straight ahead. "Stop the car."
When Mi Yanyan opened the door and stepped on tiptoe, the person behind her added lightly.
"There will be no next time." The author has something to say:

Just waiting for the male protagonist Granite's slap in the face for the hundred and eight times.
I said.
