Zhou Yanjing seemed to see her concerns and said, "I have money, don't worry, just buy whatever you want. I have saved some money in the past few years, it's enough for you."
"Didn't you take a thousand yuan as a betrothal gift? Do you still have money?"
Zhou Yanjing paused and looked at her gently, "That thousand is what I saved over the years, and some is given by my mother. Although my allowance is not much, it is enough for us to live. Don't worry, I won't let you suffer."
Shen Liwu felt warm in her heart, and her eyes were slightly hot. She lowered her head and twisted the corner of her clothes with her fingers.
Seeing that he didn't say anything, Zhou Yanjing took out the soda from the car, unscrewed the cap and handed it to her: "It's hot, drink some water first."
Shen Liwu shook her head, she couldn’t drink it.
There were two children playing not far away. It seemed that the boy made the girl cry. The boy was busy coaxing the girl and looking around. They should be the brother and sister. He was afraid that their parents would see the brother making the sister cry.
Shen Liwu thought: Zhou Yanjing will be alone until his death, how about she give birth to a child for him in this life?
And she was a virgin until her death. She couldn't live such a dull life forever, right?
Zhou Yanjing was helpless with Shen Liwu. He was really panicked when she didn't speak and didn't know what he had done wrong.
The sun was scorching, so he moved to a different position, which was good enough to block the sun so that she wouldn't be so burned.
Shen Liwu kicked the pebbles on the ground and looked up: “Zhou Yanjing, let’s have a child!”
Zhou Yanjing's grip on the soda bottle tightened slightly, and his knuckles became swollen from the force. He looked directly at Shen Liwu, his Adam's apple slid up and down, and his voice was low and hoarse: “What did you say?”
Shen Liwu stood by the road, his toes gently crushing a dead leaf on the ground, making a slight cracking sound. The sunlight shone through the treetops onto her shoulders, and mottled shadows danced on her fair face.
Her fingers tightly grasped the hem of her skirt, her knuckles slightly creaking, but her voice was surprisingly quiet: "I say, let's have a baby."
The wind blew, lifting the hair by her ears and gently brushing across her cheek.
She didn't look at him, her eyes were on the two children playing. The little boy was at a loss as to how to coax the crying little girl. He hurriedly took out a candy from his pocket and stuffed it into the girl's hand, muttering something, with an expression of anxiety and helplessness on his face.
Zhou Yanjing's gaze followed her line of sight and looked at the two children for a while, then moved away and fell on her profile.
"Look at me."
Shen Liwu slowly turned her head and met his gaze. There seemed to be a deep ocean hidden in those dark eyes, deep and elusive, and her fingers curled up unconsciously.
"Have you really thought it through?" His voice was low and contained a hint of repressed emotion, as if he was afraid of scaring her. His tone was gentle and restrained.
"Yeah." She nodded slightly, her eyes firm, "It's good to have a child."
Zhou Yanjing was silent for a few seconds, then suddenly strode towards her and grabbed her hand with some force, but it didn't hurt her. His palm was warm against her wrist, conveying an irresistible force.
"Do you know what this means?" His voice was hoarse and his breathing was a little rapid.
"I know." Shen Liwu raised her eyes and looked at him, her eyes clear and frank: "We are husband and wife, isn't it normal to have children?"
Zhou Yanjing stared into her eyes, as if to confirm whether what she said was true or not.
She was so repulsive to him when we got married that she ignored him for several months. She sent him letter after letter, but all of them fell on deaf ears. Today she suddenly said she wanted a child. Such an abnormal behavior made him suspect that she had other intentions.
Could it be that you want to exchange your child for freedom?
Zhou Yanjing's eyes suddenly darkened, and his hold on her hand tightened slightly. His voice was low and hoarse, with a hint of tentativeness and uneasiness: "Have you really thought it through? Not for anything else?"
Why did Shen Liwu feel something was wrong when she heard this? He wouldn't think...
She looked at Zhou Yanjing, her lips curled up, and a half-smile appeared on her face, "Zhou Yanjing, you don't think I want to exchange my child for my freedom, do you? Huh?"
His thoughts were exposed, Zhou Yanjing's ears turned slightly red, his eyes flickered for a moment, and then he regained his composure.
"I just don't want you to feel wronged." His voice was low, with a little suppressed emotion, "If you don't want to, I can wait."
"No grievance."
"Yes!" He agreed immediately.
Zhou Yanjing narrowed his eyes and urged: "If you don't want to buy anything, just go!"
