Chapter 58
"Amei had good grades and was pretty in high school, making her very popular." Zhou Ying's eyes were filled with memories, as if she were seeing that time. "But Amei was arrogant and looked down on everyone. She was only focused on studying to get into the best medical university, which made all the boys who liked her fall in love with her."
Jiang Zhinian seemed to see the grand occasion of that year from this dusty old photo.
Zhou Ying took out a photo from the interlayer of the last page of the album, hesitated for a moment, and showed it to Jiang Zhinian.
The photo shows a man and a woman.
The man was extremely handsome, with a high nose, deep eyes, and slightly curly hair. Especially his eyes, his gray pupils were deep and charming.
"This is Shi Ye's...father?"
Zhou Ying held the photo and sighed, "This photo was given to me by A-Mei before she passed away. She wanted to tear it up, but after hesitating for a long time, she couldn't bear to do it."
Jiang Zhinian returned the photo to Zhou Ying: "Yes... Shi Ye, are you bothering me to tell me this?"
He said he would give him time in the afternoon, but he didn't expect that the matter would be resolved in the evening. This is indeed Shi Ye's style.
Zhou Ying nodded: "He said he didn't know how to say it, so he asked me to tell you."
She pointed at Shi Ye's father's eyes and said, "See these gray eyes? This is the symbol of their family."
family?
"How should I put it... Simply put, Shi Ye's father's family has a long history. For some reason, their descendants will definitely inherit a pair of such rare gray eyes."
"So that's how it is... Then, why did Shi Ye's parents separate?"
Zhou Ying shook her head. "I don't know about that. A-mei didn't want to talk about it. I even found out about her pregnancy when she was six months pregnant and couldn't hide it anymore. She's the kind of person who always finds a way to hide something she doesn't want you to know."
Jiang Zhinian couldn't help but turn his gaze back to the photo album, looking at Shi Ye's mother's former youth and lost love.
Seeing Jiang Zhinian's sad expression, Zhou Ying quickly changed the subject.
"I heard you're pregnant. How's the baby? Is he well behaved? Did he bother you?"
Jiang Zhinian smiled and touched her belly: "It's just nausea, morning sickness is not bad."
Zhou Ying pulled her under the light and carefully examined her skin. "She doesn't even have a single spot on her skin. Her skin is so smooth you could pinch it to make water come out of it. And she's so well behaved. I think she's probably a girl."
Jiang Zhinian was also very happy to hear this: "Really? If she doesn't have spots, then she's a daughter?"
"It's probably because of the spot on my face. Look at that spot. It's from when I was pregnant with that brat. I vomited so much bile when I was pregnant with him. Boys are always troublesome. Daughters are better. They're caring and make their mothers love them."
Jiang Zhinian had always wanted a daughter, but she had no elders and no one around to give her advice, so she could only search the Internet and heard all sorts of things.
Now I feel even happier hearing this from an elder who has given birth to a child.
"I hope it's a daughter, too."
"My daughter is good. You are my mother's sweet little cotton-padded jacket. Unlike a stinky boy, you are just a leaky leather jacket."
Jiang Zhinian thought about telling Shi Ye later and asking him whether he liked little girls or little boys.
…
On the way back, Jiang Zhinian held Shi Ye's hand and walked in silence.
"Why are you unhappy?"
Jiang Zhinian stopped and looked up at Shi Ye: "I'm not unhappy, I just feel very sorry."
Shi Ye put his arms around her waist, and they stood face to face: "Why should you feel sorry?"
"I don't know either. I just feel like I shouldn't have done something right. I feel like I did something wrong."
Shi Ye touched her head and said, "There's nothing wrong with that. I didn't tell you before because I just didn't know how to say it."
And there is no need.
He had no intention of having any interaction with his father's side, and the color of his eyes was not important to him.
“But I still feel like I did something wrong.”
Shi Ye thought about it, raised his hand and patted her butt gently.
"Shi Ye!" Jiang Zhinian looked around guiltily, his face flushed.
Although it is night now and there are not many people on the streets in the community, we are still outside after all.
Jiang Zhinian's sense of shame did not allow her to be as calm as Shi Ye.
"It's okay, no one saw it." Shi Ye reached out and touched her ear, soothing the little furry girl in his arms, "How is it, do you still feel sorry now?"
Jiang Zhinian heard his tone and was afraid that if she said sorry again, she would be spanked again.
I could only shake my head: "I now feel that I did nothing wrong."
Shi Ye smiled with satisfaction: "Very good, it seems that sometimes this kind of punishment is effective."
Jiang Zhinian patted his shoulder angrily.
At this time, the street lights in the community were very dim, which made the moon in the sky look very beautiful.
"There's something I think I should explain."
His rule is to solve problems immediately when they arise. Procrastination and avoidance will only lead to things going to extremes.
"Um?"
"Among my friends, only Wang Bo knows about my eyes."
Wang Bo's father is an international lawyer who specializes in large-scale transnational lawsuits. By chance, his father met Shi Ye's father and learned this secret.
So he told Wang Bo, with the purpose of getting Wang Bo and Shi Ye to have a good relationship.
Wang Bo is a very tight-lipped person most of the time, but one time he drank too much and accidentally let something slip, which was discovered by Yuan Miaomiao.
Jiang Zhinian didn't expect Shi Ye to take the initiative to explain this. In her impression, Shi Ye was a person who would be too lazy to explain even if he was misunderstood.
Because other people's misunderstanding of him is not important to him.
This kind of self-awareness made him live comfortably, and Jiang Zhinian was also envious.
"I see. I didn't misunderstand."
Shi Ye was very sensitive and heard something different from the word "misunderstanding", but he did not ask what other people's affairs had to do with him.
Shi Ye released the hand that was holding Jiang Zhinian, and the two continued to walk forward.
"By the way, Shi Ye, next Tuesday is New Year's Eve. Does your hospital have any plans?"
She used to watch medical TV dramas, and it seemed like doctors had to work overtime on New Year's Eve.
"Interns can take normal vacations."
"So, should we buy some New Year's gifts in advance?"
When it comes to the Chinese New Year, Jiang Zhinian actually has no idea what it means. When she was young in an orphanage, she would just hang lanterns and eat dumplings. Later, when she grew up and started living independently, her Chinese New Year celebrations were either sleeping alone in the dormitory or sitting on the sofa wrapped in a quilt and watching the Spring Festival Gala.
The Chinese New Year has no special meaning to her.
Shi Ye took out his phone and looked at it: "The hospital's interns have a day off on New Year's Eve. We can go shopping that morning."
His fingers quickly searched for things to buy for the New Year.
