"Why aren't you saying anything?" Zhen Tian popped a persimmon into her mouth and looked back at him.
Normally, whenever she turned around, she would see him looking at her with a warm, sickeningly sweet smile. But this time, all she saw when she turned around was a sorrowful expression.
"What happened? No way." She put down the fruit bowl, turned around abruptly, and grabbed his collar. "Is this really the calm before the storm? What are they going to do to you? Suspended again? Someone reported you again? We still haven't found that person from last time!"
Ji Yuzhi was a little mischievous. He liked the way she was anxious for him, and teased her until she was extremely anxious. Then he put her hand in his palm and placed it under his chin, saying, "No, none of that is true."
"You scared me!" Zhen Tian saw him smile and angrily tried to pull her hand away, but couldn't get it out. So she took his big hand and punched him twice in the chest.
"Okay, okay, I was wrong, I was wrong." Ji Yuzhi willingly accepted the two punches.
Zhen Tian turned back to watch her TV.
The atmosphere was once quiet and peaceful.
Ji Yuzhi sat behind her, holding her small body in his arms. He pondered for a long time whether or not to tell her the truth.
This can't be kept secret any longer. Once he appears, he'll inevitably be in all sorts of news, and Tian Tian will definitely see it at home.
He reached for the remote control and paused the variety show that Zhen Tian was watching with great interest.
"Huh? It's stuck?" Zhen Tian saw the screen freeze and looked around for the remote, only to find the little thing being held in Zhizhi's hand: "Zhizhi?"
"Turn around, I have something to tell you." Ji Yuzhi put down the remote control.
"Oh." Zhen Tian obediently got up, turned over, and knelt on the sofa facing him: "Go ahead and say it, I'm ready."
Seeing her obedient little face, Ji Yuzhi couldn't help but lean closer.
Although Zhen Tian is a mother, she still blushes every time she gets close to Ji Yuzhi.
She closed her eyes, waiting for Zhizhi to kiss her.
I was still thinking, "Zhizhi has so many tricks up her sleeve now. She can kiss me whenever she wants. It's not like she won't let me kiss her. She even said she'd say something really nice."
A soft touch pressed against Ji Yuzhi's waist and abdomen. He stared blankly at the person he was still ten centimeters away from kissing.
Zhen Tian was stunned, and she opened her eyes.
The distance between the two was tightly pressed together by a bulging belly, preventing their heads from touching, let alone kissing.
This might be the first kiss the two of them had since Zhen Tian became pregnant. So, with her belly blocking the view, all the romantic atmosphere dissipated, leaving only the two of them staring at each other and laughing foolishly.
"You're already a third wheel at this little size." Ji Yuzhi smiled and touched her belly. The little thing inside seemed to understand Ji Yuzhi's meaning and kicked her belly hard.
Then they saw that Zhen Tian's belly bulged out. The force was considerable, and the heavy kick made Zhen Tian groan involuntarily.
"Be good, don't bother Mommy." Ji Yuzhi scolded the child.
Then we did some personal activities – prenatal education.
Zhen Tian cooperated with Ji Yuzhi in lecturing the baby in her belly, just like when she used to scold her when she was a child.
The shadow seemed to gradually overlap before her eyes.
In the end, Ji Yuzhi had forgotten what his purpose for today was.
He touched her belly one last time, then whispered to his little wife, who was beginning to radiate maternal tenderness, "Sweetie."
"Hmm?" Zhen Tian touched her belly and looked up.
"I have to go on a business trip tomorrow."
"A business trip? In this environment?" Zhen Tian was surprised, and immediately frowned.
"It is precisely because of this situation that it is even more important to appease the people. The higher authorities have arranged for a high-ranking leader to go down to inspect the situation, understand the people's conditions, and reassure the masses. That's why I have to go with him."
"Why should a foreign official like you be traveling with someone?" This is completely unreasonable.
"Yes, my identity wasn't suitable, so the higher-ups arranged a new one for me." This series of actions was because of his high popularity; accompanying the top leader on inspections made it easier to win people's hearts and appease public sentiment.
"This is so dangerous! Where are you going?" Zhen Tianxin asked anxiously.
Ji Yuzhi sighed silently, his tone heavy: "D City."
“D City!!!” Zhen Tian’s voice suddenly became shrill: “D City is a severely affected area. If you go there, there’s a high chance you’ll get infected. No, I won’t let you go.”
She gripped his collar tightly.
“Not just D City, but also the neighboring B City, Y City, and L City. D City is the last one.” He patted her back gently. “D City is the last stop. Maybe the pandemic will be over by the time I go.”
"No, I won't let you go, you're not allowed to go."
“This trip might take a month, plus half a month of quarantine, I will definitely be back before you give birth. So listen to your mothers at home, and I will try to bring your fathers over in a few days. I will feel at ease with them all by your side.”
"No, I told you not to go, I don't want you to go, did you hear me?" Zhen Tian tightened her grip on his neck, her hands gripping him tightly, her eyes turning red.
"Sweetie, I have to go." He knew all too well the significance of this trip. But as a matter of duty, he enjoyed the prestige this profession brought him, and therefore inevitably had to bear any unreasonable work tasks that this profession assigned him.
“We have no choice but to go. Can’t we just quit our jobs?” Zhen Tian paced anxiously. “I don’t want you to go. I don’t want you to. It’s too dangerous.”
Zhen Tian was really anxious. That wasn't just any place; it was City D.
"Good girl, good girl." He held her in his arms, gently patted her back, and coaxed her softly.
"I don't want to be good, I don't want you to go." She broke free from his embrace and ran away without even putting on her shoes: "I'm going to call Mom to stop you."
She opened the doors to the two mothers' rooms on either side, and her crying disturbed both mothers.
"Mom, Zhizhi is going to D City."
This commotion made the whole family find out.
"What do you mean, going to City D?"
The two fathers also called.
Having no other choice, Ji Yuzhi had to explain it to the four parents again.
After he finished speaking, there was a moment of silence in the room.
Zhen Tian didn't get the support she wanted: "Mom and Dad, please stop him!"
The mothers remained silent, and Zhen Tian stamped her foot impatiently: "Hurry up!"
"Sweetie." Lu Ti pulled her daughter to her side, but didn't say another word.
Zhen Lei and Ji Quanzhou both wore the same serious expression. Finally, Zhen Lei sighed slowly and asked in a hoarse voice, "Can you protect yourself?"
"Okay." Ji Yuzhi nodded in agreement.
"Then go, child." Zhen Lei's words were followed by silence in the room once more.
"Mom and Dad!" Zhen Tian's sobs echoed in the room.
"Sweet!"
"Don't touch me."
