Chapter 71 71. Suffering a loss “You really can’t bear to suffer a loss at all. …
While porridge was stewing in the pot, Aunt Chen went to the laundry room as usual to pack up the clothes that had been taken off yesterday.
Flowers on the coffee table, a normal number of laundry baskets, and two people who haven't gotten up yet.
She couldn't help humming a little tune, and Shi Jingzhou also knew how to please others.
There was a buzzing vibration from the living room from time to time. She washed her hands, turned back, picked up her phone and went upstairs.
When he heard the knock on the door, Shi Jingzhou didn't want to pay attention. Mi Yanyan struggled for a while, and managed to get out of his arms and hide back under the quilt.
"Madam, you left your phone downstairs. People keep calling. Is it something urgent?"
Mi Yanyan quickly responded and kicked Shi Jingzhou, "Go open the door quickly and help me get my phone."
Shi Jingzhou took two tissues from the box and wiped his hands. "Turn off your phone during your breaks next time. This wasn't intentional..."
Torturing people?
Mi Yanyan covered herself tightly, "I had a major surgery yesterday. We can't delay. Hurry up."
She felt comfortable, but he was still hanging there in the air.
Shi Jingzhou pulled on a pair of home pants and opened the door, and Aunt Chen exclaimed, "Oh!"
"Jingzhou, the temperature has dropped these days. You'll easily catch a cold if you go shirtless."
“…It’s not cold, it’s very hot.”
"You have too much internal heat. I'll make you some pear soup tonight."
Shi Jingzhou sent Aunt Chen away and heard Mi Yanyan giggling in bed.
Zhao Mei made the third call before Mi Yanyan answered. She moved her whole body to the head of the bed, half-leaning on the edge of the bed to answer the call.
The other end was crying.
"Don't cry, godmother answered the phone." Zhao Mei finished scolding, "Something's happened. She said she dreamed of a dead kitten last night, and she kept making a fuss with me for nearly forty minutes this morning. She cried so hard that my head hurt, so I had to call you."
Mi Yanyan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Turn on the speaker and I'll talk to him."
The baby-voiced boy on the other end of the phone first called out "godmother," then asked, "Where's Chongchong Cat? Is he dead?"
Mi Yanyan laughed out loud and replied seriously, "How is that possible? I'm still waiting for the injection. It will probably take another half a month before I can give it to Chong Chong."
Even through the phone, I could see Zheng Xiaocong's pouting mouth and his proud look with his arms crossed in front of his chest.
"It's been too long. Chong Chong wants to play with the kitten."
"Godmother, please get better as soon as possible."
Zhao Mei didn't spoil the child and yelled, "Old Zheng, get rid of the little bug. I have something important to talk to Yan about."
The howling of ghosts and wolves on the other side died down, and then Zhao Mei's voice was heard.
"How are you thinking about it?"
"Do I have to go?"
"First, I can trust you. All surgical procedures in Suzhou are concentrated in our hospital. This is a good opportunity for you to gain experience."
Zhao Mei walked to a deserted area nearby, covered the receiver, and lowered her voice. "Another thing, Xu Chang and Lao Zheng told you that you clearly rejected him. Now that you're both assigned to the referral center, I imagine you're also feeling uncomfortable."
Mi Yanyan glanced at Shi Jingzhou guiltily, not sure if he had heard her or not. She only felt that the hand he was taking away was getting hotter and hotter, and the frequency was getting faster.
"Don't talk nonsense, it's all in the past."
"Okay, you're so hesitant because you can't bear to leave your husband?" Zhao Mei teased her.
"It's a bit long, I still want to discuss it with him."
"Okay, I'll wait for your news."
After the call ended, the person next to him finally breathed a sigh of relief. Mi Yanyan blushed terribly and blamed him: "Are you so anxious?"
"You were more anxious than I was when you wanted it."
"...be gentle." She bit her lip tightly and let Shi Jingzhou take what he wanted. But she also felt that this man was really clueless. He was still in the recovery period, so he should take it easy.
"If you feel bad, change your approach."
Mi Yanyan was trapping herself again, but she felt that she was becoming more courageous, so she said "OK".
It's embarrassing.
I feel like I'm helping him, but I also feel like I'm selfish.
Shi Jingzhou looked at her eyes still filled with tears and curled his lips, "You really can't stand any loss."
She said nothing and let him take her place this time.
It was not until Aunt Chen knocked on the door and said that lunch was cold that Mi Yanyan opened her eyes half asleep. The person next to her was not asleep and was holding a tablet to read emails. The dim light shone on her, and a pair of large hands lightly covered her eyes.
"Awake." Shi Jingzhou turned up the screen light before letting go of his hand.
"Well, you didn't take a break."
Nowadays, the technology is still quite good. The recovery after surgery is perfect, and the feeling of smooth and unobstructed flow is even more wonderful. Mi Yanyan moved her waist slightly and felt extremely sore.
"I'm not sleepy," Shi Jingzhou put down the tablet, lay down and hugged her, "Or are you going to Suzhou to take up your post?"
"I'm still thinking about it. If I go, we'll be separated for at least half a year..." Mi Yanyan was struggling internally. At this moment, she knew very well that as long as Shi Jingzhou said casually that he didn't want her to leave, she would reject Zhao Mei without hesitation.
"Go if you want to."
It will take time to solve all of Ruisi's problems. He doesn't want Mi Yanyan to be called to the hospital again. If she can be transferred to the position, it will be a peace of mind.
Mi Yanyan suddenly sat up from the bed, angrily inserting her hands into her fluffy curly hair, and looking down at Shi Jingzhou's lazy face, deliberately intensifying her anger.
"It will take half a year, half a year!" she emphasized.
"Well, I can go and accompany you every week."
"What about the puppies and kittens?"
"One for you and one for me?"
Mi Yanyan disagreed, "How can it be the same as splitting up the family..."
"nonsense."
"I'm afraid they won't be able to adapt to the changing environment all the time. Why don't we just leave them alone? Aunt Chen can take care of them, and I'll come back more often to visit." Mi Yanyan was still worried after saying this, and reminded him, "At least six months."
"I know."
What the hell do you know? Half a year, that's not just a few days, half a year is at least six months. If Zhao Mei extends her maternity leave after giving birth, her return date will be extended indefinitely.
Mi Yanyan, full of resentment, was sniffing with the corner of the quilt between her legs. Shi Jingzhou simply raised his arm and pulled her back into his arms, rubbing her slowly.
"I don't want you to change anything because of me. I didn't need to in the past, and I won't need to in the future."
His warm lips rubbed against her ear and the back of her neck as he spoke, his deep and gentle voice and the fresh scent from after the bath all lingered in her.
"So you're having the surgery just because I don't want children?"
Mi Yanyan was tickled and turned over to curl into his arms. Pressing against his hot chest, she could easily hear his steady heartbeat.
Shi Jingzhou raised his eyebrows and said, "Because I can't afford a condom."
"..." Mi Yanyan's nostrils shrank, her eyes looked up, and she gave him a big eye roll.
"Answer it properly."
“Because there will be no gaps.”
"...Do you know why grandpa is looking for me?" she asked.
Shi Jingzhou sighed, "I can't stop him. He has his own considerations. Don't take it to heart. There's always a limit to what I can sacrifice."
The only one who can be sacrificed is himself. If he really has to force Mi Yanyan to do something she is unwilling to do, he will really give up.
"Grandpa isn't in good shape either. Just give in if you can. Don't take it too seriously. I'm fine."
At the last moment, the old lady just wanted to see the prosperity and harmony of the Shi family with her own eyes. The only mistake she could make was a matter of life and death. She understood this and didn't want to make things difficult for Shi Jingzhou.
A soft wrist wrapped around his waist, and his reluctance was on the tip of his tongue, but he couldn't say it out loud.
How to say it.
She was jealous that Xie Jingyang could witness her true thoughts without restraint, and she envied every tear she shed in front of him.
When I first married her, I couldn't say I loved her, but I was determined not to let her suffer any injustice.
I always feel like I have done it.
But it seemed like it wasn't enough, not enough to make her feel completely at ease, not enough to let her be honest about all her weaknesses.
The two of them understood each other in silence. Mi Yanyan looked over and put her head on his shoulder again.
Shi Jingzhou made this decision not just based on physical considerations.
Going to get stabbed secretly was Akagi frankly handing over the power to her. From now on, if anyone in the family brings up the matter, the responsibility will fall on him.
This makes people feel even more guilty.
"Honestly, I'm just not ready yet. Maybe with a little more time..."
Before Mi Yanyan could finish her words, she was embraced again. A hint of warmth came from above her head. Shi Jingzhou's slightly hoarse voice suppressed her words, "It's okay. Just let it go. Don't force yourself to make any changes."
She felt sad for a moment, but then was surrounded by gratitude. She tapped her chest and lightly hit her forehead.
After a brief silence, Mi Yanyan thought Shi Jingzhou had fallen asleep. She looked up and found that he was looking at her intently, outlining every inch of her with an irrefutable tenderness.
Too affectionate, as if he loved her to the core. Mi Yanyan leaned slightly from this seemingly illusory warmth, making a little distance between the two of them, and said calmly.
"You know that after surgery, if you want to recover, the sooner you do, the higher the chances, right?"
Shi Jingzhou was speechless that she was still struggling with this issue. He slapped her lightly in the face. Mi Yanyan dodged quickly and rubbed her butt.
"More nagging than the doctor."
"It's irrational to act first and ask for instructions later," Mi Yanyan couldn't help but criticize. "Next time, we need to report and ask for instructions first for such matters."
"Report." Shi Jingzhou suddenly became serious.
Her eyelashes flickered in the moonlight, and she frowned quietly, "What are you going to do now?"
"Excuse me, will there be any difference after this is done?"
"......" Mi Yanyan punched Shi Jingzhou's chest, but not only did it not hurt him, but his wrists were pinned in place, unable to move. His eyes changed from expression to charm, and a smile was hidden in the corners of his narrow eyes.
"Judging from the sound, it is indeed different." Shi Jingzhou heard the melodious and tortuous deep meaning in her blurred eyes and intoxicating sobs. It was different from before and more bold and full.
"You think too much." Mi Yanyan said stubbornly.
"Really..." He leaned forward.
Mi Yanyan covered her chest and declined, "Let's eat first. It's getting late. We can discuss this later."
Her arms were quickly raised above her head, still in an inseparable position, and were pressed and caressed by rough fingertips until her fingers were intertwined without any gap.
"Leave it until tonight?" Shi Jingzhou breathed into her ear, and the smaller earlobe that had originally returned to normal quickly became hot and scarlet.
"That's not necessary."
Restless hands covered her soft waist, and the cell phone on the bedside table vibrated endlessly.
It's really weird.
This phone is not working today.
Shi Jingzhou pressed it twice, and when he reached out for the third time, he was stopped by Mi Yanyan. She stood up to take it and took a look.
"Yes, Mom. Go ahead."
