Chapter 36
The aunt's husband came over and patted her on the shoulder: "Why are you saying this? The doctor is busy and there's nothing we can do about it."
Auntie smiled and said, "Yeah, look at me. But it's also thanks to Shi Ye being well behaved and obedient, never running around. If it were my kid, he would tear the house apart when I'm not at home."
…
Jiang Zhinian returned home after dinner. His anger towards Feng Peipei suddenly disappeared after he heard about Shi Ye's childhood.
Now he only feels heartache, heartache for little Shi Ye.
How would he feel when he returned home alone and saw the dark room?
How would you feel if you got full marks on the exam but no one praised you?
If he falls sick and can’t get through to his mother on the phone, will he hide under the covers and cry alone?
Just like myself when I was still a kid, I would hug my little bunny doll and cry secretly under the covers every night.
If possible, she really wanted to go back to that time and hug the little Shi Ye.
It’s a pity that she herself had the same problem when she was little, and she didn’t have any happy childhood to heal Shi Ye.
They were like two rag dolls, one without eyes and the other without ears, leaning against each other for warmth.
If only she had parents who loved her, she could share it with Shi Ye now.
As she thought about it, she felt a little sleepy. Her body and mind were extremely longing for the scent of cedar to envelop her.
Rubbing his eyes, he went to Shi Ye's room, set the alarm clock, and rolled onto Shi Ye's bed holding the shirt.
…
Shi Ye has been feeling inexplicably anxious since he received the news that Jiang Zhinian would not come to the hospital for lunch.
He rarely feels this anxious because everything around him is within his control.
Only Jiang Zhinian is not some kind of small animal that can be kept in captivity, but a human being with her own thoughts and soul. She can make any decision for herself without Shi Ye's consent.
It's an emotion that's hard to control.
When he finally saw Jiang Zhinian sleeping in his bed again, the irritability in his heart slowly subsided, but it was replaced by a feeling of being scratched by a cat.
I want to see her, even when she's asleep.
Anyway, I was doing odd jobs organizing medical records and data in the hospital, so I simply told my senior brother, left work early, and took the things home to finish them.
When I opened the door, the room was warm and the girl on the bed was sleeping soundly.
Shi Ye walked in wearing cotton slippers, stood by the bed and looked quietly for a while, then slowly squatted down.
The girl's breathing was very light, and at such a close distance, he could even see the fine hairs on her face.
Because I sleep on my side, the right side of my face is pressed against the pillow, forming a round curve that makes people want to pinch it.
But Shi Ye just thought so.
…
The alarm clock rang and Jiang Zhinian woke up on time.
She began to tidy up the room and quilt with ease, then tiptoed to the living room.
About 15 minutes later, Shi Ye came in carrying the vegetables.
"I'm back." Jiang Zhinian had a good sleep, and his bad mood was gone.
Shi Ye looked at her rosy cheeks, and raised the corners of his lips slightly: "Yes, I'm back."
Jiang Zhinian walked over barefoot and leaned against the door frame to look at him: "Chef Shi, what are we having for dinner? I've already cooked."
"Fish stew."
Jiang Zhinian was lingering outside the kitchen, refusing to leave.
She didn't know what was going on, but these past two days, whenever she saw Shi Ye, she felt her heart soften and her cheeks get hot.
I really want to... throw myself into his arms, rub against him like a cat, and act coquettishly.
The more tired she got, the stronger her desire to be held tightly in his arms became, but the reality was that they were just a contracted couple who didn't know each other well enough.
Shi Ye noticed Jiang Zhinian's look and couldn't help but ask curiously, "Why are you standing here?"
Jiang Zhinian bit her lip and stammered out some corny love words she had learned online: "Can you play the guitar?..."
"meeting."
"Then how do you tease...ah, you know how?"
"Yes, I learned that in high school." Shi Ye put the fish into the pan, fried it on both sides, and then put it into the casserole and stewed it with water. "I didn't hear what you said just now."
Then how come you touch my heartstrings?
But the premise of this sentence is that you can't play the guitar.
Jiang Zhinian returned to the living room in frustration. It turned out that she couldn't believe those cheesy love words and secret recipes for teasing boys on the Internet. They were all lies.
Shi Ye stewed the fish and side dishes, washed his hands and went back to the living room to drink water.
"I'm leaving this Friday for the international conference I mentioned last time."
He was tall and had long legs, and he looked good wherever he stood. Jiang Zhinian said "Oh" and her eyes wandered to the cup in his hand.
She appeared calm on the surface, but she was actually a little reluctant in her heart.
Even though they had only lived together for a short time, her dependence on Shi Ye had increased exponentially.
She felt very sad after only being apart for five days.
"Has Changchuan been there?" Shi Ye put down his water cup and asked casually.
"No." In fact, Jiang Zhinian had never even left the province.
The farthest place she has ever been is to teach in the neighboring poor county.
Shi Ye leaned against the wall, crossed his arms and looked at Jiang Zhinian: "Why don't you go to Changchuan to play while the moon is still young?"
"Is it okay?" She had actually thought about this. She had saved some money in the past two years of working, so it was no problem for her to support herself and travel.
She had been looking forward to her first trip in her life.
Shi Ye spread his hands and said, "Of course, it's about buying an extra ticket."
He picked up his phone and looked at it, then said calmly, "I still have a ticket for the high-speed train I'm taking. If you want to go, I'll send you the train number."
Jiang Zhinian placed his hands on his knees and leaned forward slightly: "Go, I want to go."
After saying that, he picked up his phone and started buying tickets.
"Okay, then I'll book a hotel for you." Because Jiang Zhinian is pregnant, it would be better for her to book a room with them so that it would be easier to take care of her.
The professors at this conference all stayed in a five-star hotel, while the students were accommodated in the hotel's annex building, with two people sharing a standard room, and they only had to cross a long corridor to get between them, which was very convenient.
Jiang Zhinian thought about the hotel prices for international conferences that he had searched online, and couldn't help but hesitate.
"Um, is there any cheap hotel nearby, the kind that's quick and easy?"
She was going to stay for 5 days and didn't want to spend several thousand dollars on accommodation, which would be too uneconomical.
Shi Ye wanted to say that the students were staying in the older annex building, which was not expensive, but when he spoke, he turned it into: "The student hotel rooms are all double rooms. I happen to be the extra single person, so I have a room to myself. If you don't mind, we can share a room."
Jiang Zhinian thought, if he traveled with his family and booked a room alone, his colleagues would definitely be surprised if they knew about it.
Besides, she has nothing to mind about living in the same room with Shi Ye.
"Sure, I don't mind."
Jiang Zhinian smiled, obviously looking forward to this trip.
