Chapter 25
After returning home, Jiang Zhinian felt very tired. She was not sure whether her efforts were effective for the girl.
She didn't dare to think about what kind of world she would face in the future, whether there would be rumors, ridicule and mockery.
…
Shi Ye returned home in time for dinner and found that there was no one in the living room and there was the sound of water in the bathroom.
Did you vomit again?
After washing his hands, Shi Ye wanted to pour a glass of lemonade. When he walked into the living room, he met Jiang Zhinian, who was wrapped in a bath towel and half of his body was sticking out.
The two stared at each other for a while, and then Jiang Zhinian suddenly retracted his neck like a little hamster.
Shi Ye retracted his gaze, walked over and knocked on the door: "Did you forget to take your pajamas?"
A vague voice came from inside: "Yes...put it on the bed."
She just took a shower on a whim, and halfway through she remembered that she had forgotten to bring her pajamas. This was a habit she had developed when she lived alone. It didn't matter if she forgot to bring them, she could always just wrap herself in a bath towel and go out.
Thinking that Shi Ye wouldn't get off work so early, he bravely stuck half of his head out, and was caught red-handed.
Shi Ye took his pajamas to the bathroom door and knocked.
The door opened a crack, and a small hand stretched out and quickly took the clothes.
Shi Ye asked her: "Have you got your underwear? Do you need me..."
"No need." The door slammed shut like a mole with a hit on the head.
Shi Ye smiled and went to the kitchen to cook.
Because he came back early, Shi Ye stewed beef with tomatoes and potatoes, and then blanched broccoli.
After Jiang Zhinian changed into her pajamas, she sneaked back to her room and put on her underwear.
"Is this the baby's crib?" A huge package was placed in the living room. "Why did you buy it so early?"
The beef was stewing, Shi Ye wiped his hands and walked out.
"Get rid of the smell first." He picked up a paper cutter and began to unpack the package. "Children under three like to chew on everything. I bought a pure solid wood one, no paint, just a little wood wax oil, which is safer."
The crib is made of hard maple wood and the color is beautiful. Jiang Zhinian liked it at first sight.
"So, do I have to buy the mattress in advance?"
"I've already bought it. It should arrive in a few days."
"Well, what about the pillow?" Jiang Zhinian squatted aside and watched Shi Ye unpacking various parts. They were like an ordinary newlywed couple, discussing what to add to the baby's crib.
"Newborns don't need pillows. Let's wait until after they're a year old." Shi Ye began to look at the blueprints and prepare to assemble the crib. "For babies under one year old, try not to put soft knitwear, including pillows and crib bumpers, in the crib. Sudden Infant Death Syndrome is very likely to occur during this period."
"Oh, so...what about the small quilt and the comfort doll?" She had already picked out a little rabbit doll, which was very cute and could be used by both boys and girls.
"It would be safer to use a sleeping bag instead of a blanket, especially for babies in the first three months. They will still have a startle reaction, and a sleeping bag can give them a sense of security. As for the comfort doll..." Shi Ye thought of the old but clean little bunny doll placed on Jiang Zhinian's bedside, and changed his words, "You can let the baby play with it under adult supervision."
Jiang Zhinian breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that he could use a comfort doll.
She now unconditionally believed every word Shi Ye said. If he said that the baby could not use a comfort doll, although she would feel a little regretful, she would not go against his wishes.
But fortunately, the little rabbit was saved.
"Doctor Shi, you know a lot." Jiang Zhinian squatted aside and spoke, his slightly damp hair scattered on his shoulders. His voice was soft, and his tone was full of sincere admiration.
Shi Ye paused while tightening the screw and looked up at the person next to him. She had just finished taking a shower and her face was still a little rosy, like a plump peach.
I don’t know if it’s the smell of shower gel, but my body exudes a warm and sweet fragrance.
Shi Ye's eyes slowly swept across her neck, and a drop of water that had not yet dried slowly submerged the collar of her pajamas.
He remembered what he had just seen accidentally: her skin exposed outside the bath towel was very white.
Jiang Zhinian was being looked at by Shi Ye, and for some reason she had the illusion that she was being stared at, and she moved uneasily.
"What, what happened?"
Shi Ye calmly withdrew his gaze and said calmly, "It's okay."
He has always been calm and composed. No matter how turbulent his heart is, he will never let anyone notice that his emotions are leaking, even a little bit.
Jiang Zhinian swallowed, feeling a little hot for some reason.
It was the kind of damp and sultry summer afternoon with a rainstorm about to come, which made people feel depressed and their hearts palpitated.
As if vaguely expecting something.
Jiang Zhinian shook his head, feeling that something seemed to be wrong with him recently, especially his body. It was as if he had become addicted to Shi Ye's taste.
"I'm a little thirsty. I'll go get a glass of water." She stood up and saw a glass of lemonade on the table, so she picked it up and took a sip.
Shi Ye's eyes followed her: "I want to drink some water too."
Jiang Zhinian put down the cup in his hand, responded, and went to find a cup.
"No need to look for it, I'll just take a sip." Shi Ye's eyes swept over the glass of water she had just drunk.
"Ah? But I've had this before..."
"It doesn't matter."
Shi Ye stood up and walked to her with his tall body, almost covering her completely.
The distance between the two of them suddenly shortened, so close that Jiang Zhinian couldn't help but take a step back and stepped on the screwdriver on the ground.
"ah……"
In fact, she was not unsteady, she was just startled, but Shi Ye still reached out and grabbed her waist, his masculine, muscular forearm wrapped around her waist.
This posture was very similar to that night when he picked her up from the ground and held her in his arms.
"Be careful." After saying that, Jiang Zhinian was put aside by him, and then watched him pick up the water cup, tilt his head back and take a sip.
The Adam's apple slides up and down.
Jiang Zhinian had never understood why a man’s Adam’s apple was associated with sexiness, until this moment, when she suddenly seemed to understand.
Shi Ye handed the half-full cup of water to Jiang Zhinian.
He squatted down again and continued to do his handicrafts.
Jiang Zhinian was holding the cup of water which was obviously cold but seemed to be scalding hot, and was at a loss for a moment.
It seemed inappropriate to pour it out. Would Shi Ye feel that he was disdaining him? But if he drank it directly, wouldn’t that feel a bit ambiguous?
Indirect kiss or something...
"Don't you want to drink?" Shi Ye's expression was calm and frank, which made Jiang Zhinian feel that he seemed a little too pretentious.
She quickly said "Drink", then picked up the cup and took a sip.
Shi Ye waited until she put down the cup before moving his gaze away from her lips.
He read a paper today that said kissing can soothe a pregnant wife's emotions better than physical contact.
Just now he was thinking in his mind whether the other party would agree if he directly proposed a kiss.
Just when Jiang Zhinian was drinking water, her red lips opened slightly, giving him an inspiration.
Indirect kissing should also be considered kissing, right?
