Chapter 55
"Yes, of course. Oh my god, we've been brothers for so long, and I've never eaten a meal cooked by Shi Ye."
"Um... take me home?"
"Anything else, anything else?"
"Help me, encourage me, give me a sense of security..."
Jiang Tao was shocked and said, "Are you talking about Shi Ye? Why do I feel like he's a warm man?"
Zhou Hongsheng adjusted his glasses and said, "I also find it a little hard to imagine what it would be like for God to encourage people."
Wang Bo threw a box of tissues in front of Jiang Tao: "You kid was still talking about it. You forgot that Shi Ye gave you free tutoring in your senior year of high school. Now you're saying he's not a warm man in front of his wife."
Speaking of this, Jiang Tao scratched his head sheepishly: "That's right... At that time, Shi Ye suddenly said that he wanted to give me extra lessons. I was shocked. I thought he was playing a trick on me, but he actually gave me extra lessons very seriously. To be honest, the person I am most grateful to in my life is Shi Shen."
"Come to think of it, the title of Time God probably originated from the time when I was giving you tutoring."
"Of course not. To make up for a last-place grade and get into a top university, that's nothing short of godlike."
Jiang Zhinian propped up his chin and listened with great interest to them talking about Shi Ye's high school stories, which he found novel and unfamiliar.
That was a past she had never come into contact with, but from the mouths of these good friends, as they spoke one after another, it seemed as if Shi Ye in high school slowly became a clear image.
"Do you guys have photos of Shi Ye from high school?"
Everyone looks at me and I look at you.
"Shi Ye doesn't like taking photos. If we want to take a photo together when we go out to play, he will make an excuse to walk away."
"I think he was only there during our high school graduation photo."
"Sister Jiang, do you want to read it? If you do, I'll look it up for you when I get home. I think I have it at home."
Jiang Zhinian quickly thanked him: "I'd like to see it, thank you, but there's no rush. If it's hard to find, you can look for it when you have time."
…
When Shi Ye came in after finishing his call, the atmosphere in the box had already become heated as they kept talking about each other's embarrassing moments in high school.
"When I was in my first year of high school, I regarded Shi Ye as my lifelong enemy." Wang Bo took off his coat and looked much younger. He looked more like a student than a lawyer.
"Of course not. I was so fed up with you back then. You always bothered Shi Ye. Do you remember what harsh words you said back then, like you must surpass Shi Ye next time?"
Wang Bo smiled and waved his hand: "Alright, let's not talk about the past."
Shi Ye returned to sit next to Jiang Zhinian. Seeing that the dishes had been served, he asked her what she wanted to eat.
"I want to eat...beef rolls."
Shi Ye was picking up the serving chopsticks to eat the meat when Jiang Tao started to tease him, "Wang Bo, you may not agree with Shi Ye in other aspects, but when it comes to marriage and having children, you're a complete loser. Unless you quickly get married and have twins, you'll have no chance of surpassing Shi Ye."
Yuan Miaomiao had been absent-minded, and was a little stunned when Jiang Tao suddenly called her out.
Wang Bo smiled and slapped the table, saying, "Don't worry, I'll definitely treat you to a banquet this year."
"Wow, you said it. Congratulations."
In the lively atmosphere, Jiang Zhinian saw Yuan Miaomiao's confused face through the steaming steam of the hot pot.
…
After dinner, everyone left together, and just like last time, Zhou Hongsheng sent them home.
But when Wang Bo went to get the car, he suddenly stopped Shi Ye and said he had something to talk to him about.
Shi Ye followed, and the two walked along the garage for a while.
"Shi Shen, this is what happened. When I was paying the bill just now, Miao Miao told me that she seemed to be in trouble. She wanted me to tell you something. Please don't be angry."
Shi Ye paused and looked at him; "What's wrong?"
"Hey, just now when we were playing basketball, your wife suddenly asked Miaomiao if she knew what country you were from and why your eyes were gray. Miaomiao got nervous and hesitated, so your wife thought there was some secret and kept asking. Then Miaomiao had to say that it was your privacy and let her ask you herself."
After listening to Miaomiao's words, Wang Bo felt really embarrassed. When Miaomiao first knew about this, it was because he had spoken out of turn after drinking. He also apologized to Shi Ye at that time.
Shi Ye glanced at Wang Bo thoughtfully and patted his shoulder: "You can't be in a relationship for too long. If you really like Miaomiao, find an opportunity to get married quickly."
Wang Bo looked at Shi Ye in confusion: "So this is why you got married so quickly?"
"No, I just read it in a romance book, but I think it makes sense." He lowered his head to fiddle with his phone and sent him a link. "Take a look when you have time."

After returning home, Jiang Zhinian, who had learned all kinds of gossip about Shi Ye's high school days, went to wash his hands in a good mood.
This is a habit I developed after living with Shi Ye. The first thing I do when I get home every day is to wash my hands.
The two of them squeezed in front of a sink, one in front and one behind. Jiang Zhinian squeezed some hand sanitizer and applied it to Shi Ye's hands.
Shi Ye lowered his head to smell her neck: "It smells like hot pot."
Jiang Zhinian raised his hand and sniffed his sleeve: "It seems to smell a bit strong. I'll take a shower first. Can you wait until I'm done before taking a shower?"
There was a round mirror above the sink. Shi Ye looked into Jiang Zhinian's eyes in the mirror and suddenly leaned close to her ear and asked, "Do you want to wash together?"
Jiang Zhinian's face instantly turned like a peach, white with a hint of pink.
Shi Ye rinsed his hands and took a step back to get a towel. Perhaps it was a doctor's occupational disease, as he wiped his hands with an unusual meticulousness and casual elegance.
"Just kidding, go wash first."
Jiang Zhinian wasn't sure if this was a joke, but she'd daydreamed countless times while taking a shower.
Given her current relationship with Shi Ye, it seems... not impossible.
I looked down at my body. My stomach was still flat, and my breasts... I guess they were a little attractive.
With a bit of trepidation, she deliberately opened the bathroom door wrapped only in a bath towel.
"Shi Ye..."
After waiting for a pot of tea, no one answered. Jiang Zhinian opened the door and walked out. After looking around, he found that... no one was home.
Shi Ye went out?
The courage she had mustered collapsed in an instant, and she hurried back to the bathroom to change into pajamas. When she came out, Shi Ye just came back with a package.
"You just went to pick up the express..."
Shi Ye opened the express, painted over the necessary information on the box and placed it directly at the door. A cleaning lady would come and take it away soon.
"Yes, I just happened to be at the express locker so I went to pick it up. What's the matter?"
"Ah...no, you, what did you buy?" She usually never asked what Shi Ye bought, but this time she was just making small talk.
"Your folic acid and iron supplements should be almost finished. I bought you a multivitamin. You can start taking it around 11 weeks."
"Oh..." Jiang Zhinian stood there for a while, clearing his mind of all the nonsense, and said helplessly, "I'll go blow dry my hair."
