Chapter 229 Rainy Day
The heavy rain arrived as expected, covering the entire sky in an instant. The thin rain lines were like silver threads sliding down from the sky and suddenly disappeared.
The rain poured down all afternoon. Ye Rou took off her white coat and walked into the hall. She was hit by a chill. She was wearing thin clothes and shivered as she hugged her arms.
The jeep drove all the way to the steps outside the hall before stopping. Ye Rou hurriedly wanted to run over.
The car horn honked.
Ye Rou stood still.
In the rain, Jiang Chen got out of the car holding an umbrella. He walked quickly to Ye Rou, pulled open the thin long sweater he had brought and wrapped it around her, frowning slightly. "Are you cold?"
"Just a little bit." Ye Rou said indifferently.
Jiang Chen reached out and touched her face, which felt like jelly and cold.
Your face is so cold, but you still say you’re not cold.
He frowned slightly.
Jiang Chen still remembers how Ye Rou looked when she had her first period pain after moving into his house. She lay on the kang with a pale face. The needles stuck in her arms couldn't relieve the pain. She couldn't sleep well all night. Even when he held her stomach all night, she would still cry out in pain.
"Go home." Jiang Chen held Ye Rou half-in his arms while holding an umbrella, walked quickly to the car, opened the door and let Ye Rou in.
As soon as Ye Rou got in the car, she found her small blanket.
After Jiang Chen put away his umbrella and got in the car, Ye Rou held up the blanket and asked in surprise, "Didn't I tear this this morning?"
She was unconscious in her sleep, only feeling that she was tied tightly with ropes. She was so annoyed that she tore the blanket and punched through the solid wood backrest of the sofa.
"Newly bought." Jiang Chen started the car and explained.
Ye Rou liked this blanket. When she got up and saw that it was torn, she felt a little sad. Jiang Chen asked someone to buy a new one and send it to her.
But this time I bought ten more as a backup.
Ye Rou spread out the blanket and wrapped it around her legs. There was no air conditioning in the car, but it could block out the cold air outside, and the temperature in the car rose little by little.
Jiang Chen didn't drive away immediately. He stretched out his hand and rubbed Ye Rou's stomach. He frowned and asked, "Does your stomach hurt?"
"A little bit." Ye Rou leaned her head against the seat and tilted her head to look at Jiang Chen. Her lips were pale but she was still smiling, as if it really only hurt a little bit.
Jiang Chen said dissatisfiedly: "Don't go to work tomorrow, rest at home."
"I'm fine." Ye Rou didn't love going to work, but Liu Jintang was coming to the hospital tomorrow and she didn't want to miss it.
Seeing that Jiang Chen was still frowning, Ye Ruan said coquettishly, "I'm so sleepy. I want to go back to sleep."
Jiang Chen bit her cheek angrily before starting the car.
The car was quiet, and Ye Rou felt a little sleepy when she heard Jiang Chen say, "Old man Zheng said you wanted to change your name?"
"Yeah." Ye Rou turned her head and looked at Jiang Chen.
He was driving with one hand, his profile was handsome, and he seemed to feel her gaze, so he stretched out his big hand and ruffled her hair, messing it up, then he withdrew his hand with a smile on his face.
"It's all static electricity." Ye Rou was wearing a sweater and wrapped in a blanket. Her hair was all frizzed up by the sudden blow and couldn't be combed. Ye Rou complained to him, "My hair is all messed up."
Jiang Chen chuckled softly before saying, "It's not messy, it's very cute."
"Hmph." Ye Rou was immediately coaxed into smoothing her hair patiently.
Jiang Chen looked at her as if he was watching a kitten licking its fur. If his wife could turn into a cat, she would definitely be a soft little white cat.
He thought of the painting that Old Zheng showed him, and inexplicably felt that the name Xueruo was very appropriate.
He asked, "Why did you suddenly think of changing your name?"
Ye Rou paused as her hand stroked her hair.
If this name was given by Liang Yushan or anyone else, Ye Rou would not want to change it. After all, the name "Ye Rou" has been with her for two lifetimes, which is a kind of fate.
But this name was given to her by Zheng Lili, and it is a mother's expectation for her unborn child.
Zheng Lili had a very tragic life. She was sold twice. In her desperation, she saved Tang Panxia, who was also imprisoned. She was afraid that Wang Mazi would find out about her pregnancy, so she carefully concealed it along the way. She was finally bought home by Old Man Ye and gave birth to a child safely. However, she was bullied by Ye Hai and finally chose to commit suicide because she could not bear the humiliation.
Ye Rou felt sorry for Zheng Lili's experience and admired her bravery.
She originally wanted to leave this name to her and Jiang Chen's daughter, but after her treatment over the past few days, Jiang Chen's health still showed no improvement.
The two of them might not have children in this life. Although Ye Rou was disappointed, she never complained. This name was Zheng Lili's little wish before her death. Since she had no daughter, she simply changed the name to this, which could be regarded as a comfort to Zheng Lili's soul in heaven.
Ye Rou's mind was full of random thoughts. When she spoke to Jiang Chen, she concealed her idea of a daughter and simply said, "This name sounds nice."
Jiang Chen suddenly said, "Then I want to change my name too."
"?" Ye Rou was stunned for a moment before asking, "What name do you want to change to?"
"I also want the surname Zheng." Jiang Chen made the final decision.
"Zheng Chen, that's a bit strange." Ye Rou called out again, but it felt strange, so she muttered, "It's a bit like calling someone else."
Jiang Chen glanced at her. His wife was wrapped up plumply and was mumbling something, trying to get used to calling the name Zheng Chen.
His wife is particularly good in this regard. No matter what he does or says, she is very accepting.
When the car arrived at the door, Jiang Chen got out first, holding an umbrella to pick up Ye Rou, and the two walked home together.
After passing the outer hall, Liu Yutang suddenly rushed out and called Ye Rou.
"Xiao Rou." He handed Ye Rou a bowl of hot soup and reminded her, "This is good for your health because it replenishes your qi and blood. Drink it all."
Ye Rou glanced down at the medicine in front of her. It was dark and exuded an extremely bitter taste. The bitterness seemed to soak her internal organs. She dodged back a bit, but was blocked by Jiang Chen. She reluctantly said, "Do I have to drink it?"
"Drink it quickly." At this moment, Liu Yutang was not facing his beloved disciple, but a patient who did not listen to the doctor. He handed the medicine forward again and motioned Ye Rou to hold it.
Seeing that she couldn't refuse, Ye Rou took a deep breath, closed her nose, and drank the water in one gulp under the watchful eyes of Jiang Chen and her master. The bitter water instantly permeated her internal organs, and Ye Rou shuddered with the bitterness.
After drinking, she proudly shook the bowl upside down to indicate that she had finished it.
"That's good." Liu Yutang took the bowl with a smile, turned around and left, saying, "You must drink a bowl every day from now on."
"Ah?" Ye Rou froze.
Jiang Chen saw that his wife had turned into a wooden figure and would not move when he poked her. He shook his head helplessly, picked her up with one hand, held the umbrella with the other hand, and continued walking towards the dining room.
After walking a long way, Ye Rou finally reacted. She put her arms around Jiang Chen's neck, snuggled up to him, and complained that the medicine was too bitter and she didn't want to drink it.
Jiang Chen saw through her little thoughts and knew that she didn't dare to tell Old Man Liu, so he let him go.
He didn't respond, and said dryly: "This is for your own good, old man."
Seeing that the situation was hopeless, Ye Rou complained, "Master, why did you suddenly think of asking me to drink the medicine? You're killing me."
The bitter taste in her mouth has not yet dissipated.
When Ye Rou thought about drinking a bowl every day, she suddenly felt that the whole world was dark.
Jiang Chen coughed dryly and looked away guiltily.
