"This is the first time I've heard you say something like this, and I'm not used to it for a while."
Ai Zhiyin smiled with relief. "So, what difficulties have you really encountered? Is it that your work is not going well, or is it that your new unit is not doing well? I heard from Ding Ce that the two leaders of your new unit are like two mountains, and they love to fight among themselves..."
Han Ji suddenly raised his head and looked at her with a frown: "Why did Han Jue tell you everything?"
Ai Zhiyin was puzzled. "We're all family, so what's wrong with a few words? He doesn't come home often, and Grandpa misses him from time to time. I want him to come back more often. You brothers are all busy, and some are not here. The old man is alone at home, very lonely. Of the six of you, who can I persuade? Only Han Jue doesn't deal with people and comes back occasionally."
Han Ji was inexplicably annoyed. He sat up and said, "I haven't been home before? Compared to them, I've been home quite often, right?"
Ai Zhiyin was a little confused. She could feel that Han Ji was angry, but she couldn't find the reason why he was angry.
"What's wrong with you?" Ai Zhiyin was a little anxious. She also turned over and said, "If you have any questions, just tell me."
Han Ji realized that his aggressive attitude had become inappropriate.
Don’t say Ai Zhiyin feels that he is not like him.
Even he himself felt that something was particularly wrong with him today.
"I'm sorry," Han Ji said, "I shouldn't have spoken to you in such a questioning tone."
"It's okay," Ai Zhiyin didn't mind at first. Han Ji was always like this. He would apologize proactively when there was a problem, even if it was something very small. "So... what happened to you?"
"I don't know either," Han Ji said a little irritably.
After he lay down, he closed his eyes and kept rubbing the bridge of his nose, trying to calm himself down, but this feeling of upset was too difficult to subside.
Suddenly, he felt a slight warmth on his forehead, and someone covered his forehead with the palm of their hand.
He opened his eyes and saw Ai Zhiyin withdraw her hand.
She said, "You don't have a fever."
He certainly didn't have a fever, he knew that very well.
But...his heart seemed to be suddenly lit on fire. The flame was small, but it warmed his entire heart.
"Are you feeling uncomfortable elsewhere?" Ai Zhiyin asked, "Do you have a headache?"
"No," Han Ji didn't dare to meet her eyes, so he could only pretend to be sleepy and close his eyes.
Ai Zhiyin also wiped herself and lay down. "Since you're not feeling uncomfortable, then you must be worried about something."
Han Ji: “Yeah.”
Ai Zhiyin: "You're indeed the one who comes home the most out of you brothers, and you're doing a great job at that. Come back more often in the future. You've been in school before, and Grandpa was worried that you'd lose your ambition and drive if you stayed in such a comfortable place for too long. Now that you've changed jobs, your new workplace isn't far from home, so it's convenient for you to come back and spend more time with him."
Han Ji suddenly asked, "What about you?"
Ai Zhiyin didn't understand, "Me what?"
Han Ji: "Do you want me to come back?"
Ai Zhiyin smiled in confusion and said, "What are you talking about? This is your home. You can come back anytime you want. I haven't turned you away, have I?"
yes.
Han Ji then realized that his legs were on his body and whether to go home or not was his own decision.
Whether he replied or not, Ai Zhiyin never stopped him, let alone asked him to.
No, there is still one requirement.
Ai Zhiyin only asked him to let her know in advance when he was going home so that she could prepare a meal for one more person.
"Soulmate," Han Ji suddenly changed her.
"Huh?" Ai Zhiyin was a little surprised. It was rare for her to hear him call her like that when they were alone.
On weekdays, they basically speak directly and don't use any titles to address each other.
"Have you ever liked someone?" Han Ji asked.
Ai Zhiyin was suddenly stunned. "Why are you asking this? I'm already married. There's no point in talking about this."
"I mean, before we got married." Han Ji felt it was a bit unfair.
Ai Zhiyin knew everything about him before marriage, or rather, everything about himself, he had told her everything before marriage.
But he knew nothing about Ai Zhiyin's past.
In the past, Han Ji didn't think much about it. He just thought that marrying Ai Zhiyin would be a victory. As long as he won, nothing else mattered.
But now, he felt that he needed to understand his wife's past, otherwise, he would feel unfair and want to argue.
Ai Zhiyin scoffed, "What kind of person is it? I like him."
Han Ji: "Never been in a relationship? As long as you've been in a relationship, it counts."
Ai Zhiyin: "The ones I've dated don't like them, and the ones I like, I've never dated."
Han Ji was suddenly stunned. It was obvious that Ai Zhiyin's answer was beyond his expectations.
He always thought that Ai Zhiyin was the kind of lady from a wealthy family who was naive to the ways of the world. After all, she was nearly five years younger than him, and she married him almost right after graduation. She had been working for him for less than a year. The Ai family was strict, so it was impossible for Ai Zhiyin to have any emotional experience.
But Ai Zhiyin's words clearly included at least two men.
Ai Zhiyin looked at him and said with a smile, "Who hasn't had a secret crush when they were young? Who hasn't encountered scumbags?"
Han Ji took advantage of the situation and asked, "So, who do you like? Who have you been dating?"
Ai Zhiyin smiled sheepishly and said, "We were in love in college, but we broke up after graduation. He cheated on me first and then went abroad. I liked him... I can only call it a secret crush, but it was something that happened when I was very young. During adolescence, who doesn't have someone they like?"
Han Ji suddenly squinted his eyes and looked at her: "If... I mean if, if we get divorced, which of them will you go to?"
Ai Zhiyin was suddenly stunned. She obviously didn't expect to hear the word "divorce" from Han Ji's mouth.
"Don't joke," Ai Zhiyin said, "We both have Haoxuan, as well as our parents and families. Whether we divorce or not is not up to us to decide."
Han Ji suddenly realized, "Yes."
There is no possibility that this assumption will be true.
Ai Zhiyin gave the most honest answer, but it was not the answer he wanted to hear.
He could understand Ai Zhiyin's consideration of reality, but he hated the ease with which she answered, which made it impossible to find fault with it and even harder to get a glimpse of her thoughts.
"Does knowing my past make you feel better?" Ai Zhiyin suddenly asked.
Han Ji's heart skipped a beat. He was surprised that Ai Zhiyin actually understood his thoughts.
Ai Zhiyin smiled and said, "The reason I don't mind you having a relationship is because I've had one too. At least I think it's fair. If I had one and you didn't, I'd feel like I owed you something."
Han Ji suddenly became curious, "Even though I was a bad bastard at that time? I saw the watermelon and immediately threw away the sesame seeds, and you didn't mind?"
Ai Zhiyin: "If reality can separate you, it only means you don't love enough. If you're cowardly because you don't love enough, don't blame it on other reasons. If you love enough, you'll always be together no matter what. Just like Han Chen and Miss Zhou, even after ten years, even if Grandpa, you, Dad, and Uncle repeatedly obstructed him, Han Chen didn't intend to give up on Miss Zhou. They were meant to be together, and they will be together."
