Chapter 75 Chapter 75 You don't listen to me, do you? ...
Jiang Jun didn't say anything, closed his eyes, and a tear flowed down the corner of his eye, which replaced his answer.
Chen Zhuo wiped her tears distressedly: "So... you like him?"
Jiang Jun didn't answer directly. She said, "I thought I could control this relationship."
"What about him towards you?" Chen Zhuo frowned, his tone no longer able to suppress his anger.
Jiang Jun shook his head slightly.
"Damn! This Liang Yuchen is really..." Shen Zhuo cursed angrily. She didn't know what to say, but at this moment she really wanted to curse.
"Zhuozi, you must not go look for him. We agreed from the beginning not to talk about feelings." Jiang Jun's voice was nasal. "I shouldn't have fallen in love with him. I deserve it."
Chen Zhuo stood up, feeling a breath in his chest, and paced back and forth beside the bed with his hands on his waist.
In fact, when she and Jiang Jun went to "Ferry" for the first time and saw Liang Yuchen, she knew that he was definitely the type that Jiang Jun would like, but at that time Jiang Jun told her firmly that he would not have any contact with her, and she really believed it.
Who knew the two of them would still...
"That message just now was also sent by Liang Yuchen, right?" Shen Zhuo asked after calming down.
Jiang Jun nodded: "Hmm..."
"What does he want from you?"
"He asked me what was wrong with me."
"How did he know?" Shen Zhuo narrowed his eyes and thought for a few seconds, "I give up, it must be Shao Chengzhang who told him." Shen Zhuo only told him that Jiang Jun was in the hospital.
This Shao Chengzhang...Chen Yu really wanted to rush up to him and scold him at this moment.
She asked, "Did you tell him?"
"No, I said I had gastroenteritis," said Jiang Jun.
"You really are..." Chen Zhuo was angry and distressed, and was speechless for a long time. Finally, he sighed.
"I'm sorry, Zhuozi." Jiang Jun looked up at her. "I didn't tell you before because I was worried you and Shao Chengzhang would be embarrassed between us. Besides, we didn't want to develop a long-term relationship. I thought even if it ended, you wouldn't know, so it wouldn't be awkward when we meet in the future."
"But I overestimated myself. I thought I could handle it easily." She then laughed at herself. "Even though I knew exactly what kind of person he was, I still fell in love with him. Maybe people are just mean. They always fall for what they can't have."
Chen Zhuo was filled with indignation: "No, what right does Liang Yuchen have?"
Why did he let Jiang Jun lie here and suffer after he had his fun? Why did he not want to take responsibility and still disturb her life? Why didn't he like her?
The more Shen Zhuo thought about it, the angrier he became. His voice was filled with anger and heartache: "He's not worth it."
"Yeah, I know." Jiang Jun said softly, "But sometimes, when people fall in love, it's like their brains are broken. Even if I tell myself rationally that I can't, I can't help thinking about him and want to find him."
"But now, it's all over." Jiang Jun closed his eyes and took a long breath. His voice was hoarse and filled with uncontrollable tears. "It's all over."
*
Jiang Jun fell asleep in a daze, but was woken up by abdominal pain in the early morning. Painkillers cannot be taken frequently, so Chen Zhuo could only give her a warm pack to relieve the pain.
The doctor came to check on Jiang Jun and told her that her uterus was retroverted, making it difficult to evacuate completely. Chen Zhuo couldn't help but hold her hand tightly as he listened. Jiang Jun told the doctor that she wanted to evacuate again, so the doctor gave her a uterine contraction injection to promote blood evacuation.
During this time, Shao Chengzhang asked Chen Zhuo how Jiang Jun was doing and if he needed someone to take care of them. Chen Zhuo, still angry at Liang Yuchen, took it out on him and replied very briefly, saying no.
The ultrasound results two days later were not ideal, so Jiang Jun had to choose a uterine curettage.
Shen Zhuo waited outside the operating room, her heart tightening as she heard Jiang Jun's heart-wrenching screams as she was given anesthesia. She had read many related posts and knew how painful the surgery would be.
The operation went very quickly, and Jiang Jun was still unconscious when he was wheeled out. Back in the ward, the doctor told Shen Zhuo not to let Jiang Jun fall asleep and gave him some additional precautions.
Shen Zhuo sat by the bed, calling Jiang Jun's name, squeezing her palm, and listening to her intermittent mumbling responses. Looking at Jiang Jun's haggard and tired face, Shen Zhuo wanted to stab Liang Yuchen a few times.
After the allotted time, Chen Zhuo let her sleep peacefully. The anesthesia left Jiang Jun unconscious for a day, and she didn't wake up until the next day. After drawing blood that morning, the doctor told her she could be discharged.
Jiang Jun was in a very low mood. She sat motionless on the bed, her eyes fixed on a certain spot on the floor, her eyes empty. Shen Zhuo was helping her pack her things when he suddenly heard her sobbing.
"I didn't even have the chance to know about his existence, and he just left like that." Jiang Jun touched her lower abdomen, she lowered her head, and tears slowly slid down, dripping on the back of her hand, "Zhuozi, is it because I'm so bad that he doesn't want me to be his mother." After the words fell, she couldn't hold it in anymore, as if her whole body was suddenly defeated. She covered her face and burst into tears, her shoulders shaking, and she cried heartbreakingly.
Chen Zhuo's heart tightened, and he walked over and hugged her in his arms, protecting the back of her head with one hand and patting her back gently, his eyes instantly red.
"He must have tried very hard to stay in my body, but...but he still doesn't want me..."
"That's not the case, Jiang Jun, don't think like that."
Jiang Jun's tears soaked Chen Zhuo's T-shirt. She couldn't hear a word he said, but just kept repeating: "If I knew... I would definitely protect him..."
"I know." Chen Zhuo hugged her gently, "I know you will." She looked down at Jiang Jun, feeling distressed and suffocated.
After being discharged from the hospital, Shen Zhuo first sent Jiang Jun home and told her to eat and take medicine on time. Jiang Jun had calmed down and urged her to go home and rest as Shen Zhuo had delayed many things because of her.
When Shen Zhuo returned home, only Aunt Chen was there. Aunt Chen knew that she had been in the hospital taking care of a friend these days. Seeing that she looked exhausted, she quickly persuaded her to rest first and she would make her a nourishing soup.
Knowing that Chen Zhuo had returned to Yuelan Bay, Shao Chengzhang returned home earlier than usual. He pushed open the bedroom door; the curtains were drawn tightly, leaving the room pitch black. He didn't turn on the main light, only the bedside lamp on his side, dimmed to its lowest setting, barely illuminating the sleeping figure. There, curled up in bed, Chen Zhuo slept, his face peaceful yet radiant with fatigue.
He tiptoed onto the bed, and just by looking at her profile, he felt that she had lost weight. After looking at her for a while, he couldn't help but lower his head and kiss her.
I miss her so much.
At first, he just pecked and kissed her cheeks a little, but then Chen Zhuo turned over and lay on his back, and he couldn't help but kiss her soft lips again.
Chen Zhuo was woken by the kiss, and looked at the handsome face in front of her with sleepy eyes. If it were in the past, she would definitely hold his face and kiss him again, but now she just felt that he was annoying.
She was angry at Liang Yuchen, but she barely knew him, so she had to transfer her emotions to Shao Chengzhang. Besides, Shao Chengzhang was not without responsibility in this matter.
She pushed Shao Chengzhang away and said dissatisfiedly, "Go away."
There was no intimacy as imagined. Shao Chengzhang could hear her unhappy mood and was obviously stunned. "What's wrong?"
Chen Zhuo closed his eyes and turned his back to him: "I don't want to see you now."
"Why?" Shao Chengzhang frowned slightly, "Don't you miss me?"
"No, I'm very angry now."
Shao Chengzhang was caught off guard by this sudden emotion. He twisted her shoulders and stared down at her face: "Why are you angry with me? What did I do wrong?"
Chen Zhuo sat up suddenly and glared at him: "It's all because of you. When Jiang Jun and I went to the Ferry, why didn't you send her home first? Instead, you let Liang Yuchen send her home. If it weren't for you, the two of them wouldn't have—"
Having said that, he stopped abruptly.
Shao Chengzhang was so smart that he immediately understood what Shen Zhuo meant. "So Liang Yuchen and Jiang Jun are together?"
Shen Zhuo didn't answer directly, she rolled her eyes, "No!"
As a long-time friend of Liang Yuchen, he certainly knew who he was. No wonder when he went to "Du" to ask Liang Yuchen for wine, he asked a few more questions when he heard that Jiang Jun was not feeling well.
"But this matter can't be blamed on me. I didn't know they would develop into this."
"You clearly know what kind of person Liang Yuchen is, but you still let him send Jiang Jun home!" If there hadn't been that initial contact, perhaps Jiang Jun wouldn't have gotten involved at all.
Chen Zhuo was very emotional, "Do you know that Jiang Jun is pregnant with... Never mind." The last bit of rationality stopped her from saying it.
Jiang Jun didn't want Liang Yuchen to know, so she kept the secret for her.
"Wife, you can't ask me to foresee the future just because of the outcome." Shao Chengzhang was also anxious. "Jiang Jun is an adult and has the ability to judge. You can't put all the consequences on me. Besides, we both know that they didn't do anything that night. Even if they developed into their current relationship, it didn't happen until later. If they were destined to meet, it wouldn't matter whether that night happened or not."
"Don't tell me it's fate, it's a doomed fate?" Chen Zhuo glanced at him speechlessly. "I don't care, you are responsible anyway! And why did you tell Liang Yuchen about Jiang Jun's hospitalization?" Chen Zhuo was so angry that he spoke incoherently. "Anyway, I'm very angry now and don't want to see you."
Shao Chengzhang pursed his lips and was silent for a few seconds. Finally, he said, "Then you should rest first. Aunt Chen has cooked some soup and it's warm. Remember to drink it when you get up." He turned over and got out of bed, turning off the bedside lamp.
The room immediately fell into darkness. Shen Zhuo heard rustling sounds, and then a ray of light flashed from the direction of the door and disappeared. Shao Chengzhang walked out of the bedroom, and the room became quiet again.
Chen Zhuo pounded the bed in frustration, then lay down again with the quilt in his arms, but he couldn't fall asleep no matter how much he tossed and turned.
She simply got up and went to the kitchen to find something to eat. As she passed the living room, she caught a glimpse of Shao Chengzhang sitting cross-legged in front of the eco-tank, feeding Ares with tweezers in his hand. Shen Zhuo subconsciously slowed down his pace and glanced at him furtively.
Seeing Shao Chengzhang with his head down and one hand on the floor, looking unhappy, Shen Zhuoxin suddenly softened.
Noticing his sudden sideways glance, Shen Zhuo immediately retracted her gaze and pretended to be nonchalant as she walked into the kitchen. She turned on the rice cooker and poured out a bowl of steaming chicken soup. She deliberately sat on the island counter, and when she tilted her head slightly, she realized that Shao Chengzhang was no longer looking at her.
Hey, did I just say something a bit too much? Chen Zhuo thought to himself. In fact, he was just angry and had no place to vent. He thought that if he had a few words with him, she would feel better.
"Would you like some chicken soup?" She hesitated for a moment, then suddenly turned around and shouted towards the living room.
"I don't drink."
Chen Zhuo slid down from the high chair, walked to the sofa with the chicken soup, sat down, and asked again: "Really? Aunt Chen's stew is delicious."
"No," Shao Chengzhang lowered his head and stretched out his hand to tease Ares, "I'm afraid someone will see me and get angry again."
Chen Zhuo tutted and said, "Who would get angry seeing you?"
"How should I know? Someone said so."
Chen Zhuo pursed his lips and smiled, saying, "Then you misunderstood. I said I didn't want to see you because I was angry, not that I would be angry when I saw you. You misunderstood the logic, understand?"
Seeing Shao Chengzhang remained silent, Shen Zhuo coughed and tried to save face: "Stop making trouble and have a drink." She stood up and squatted beside him, handed him the bowl of soup, and added, "This is for you."
Shao Chengzhang turned his head away and ignored her.
"Shao Chengzhang, turn around and look at me."
Seeing that he still didn't move, she raised her eyebrows: "You don't want to listen to me anymore, right? If you don't want to listen, then don't listen to me anymore. Let's just leave it like this."
"Do you only know how to bully me?" Shao Chengzhang turned his head to look at her, his eyes red. "You've been ignoring calls and messages in the hospital these past few days, and you didn't let me visit you. I finally waited for you to come back, and you said you didn't want to see me..."
Chen Zhuo was a typical soft-hearted person. Hearing him complain about her behavior so aggrievedly, she felt that she had really gone too far, so she apologized to him: "I didn't mean to bully you. I just lost control of my emotions. I'm wrong, okay?"
"In your heart, everything is more important than me. Your studio is more important than me, your artists are more important than me, your besties are more important than me. Every time something happens, you just notify me and then I won't see you for a few days."
Shen Zhuo nodded: "Yes, yes, I was wrong."
"Liang Yuchen knew that Jiang Jun was in the hospital because he said he had received two bottles of Wild Pony. I went to get them from him and he asked about it," Shao Chengzhang explained.
"Okay, I was wrong." Shen Zhuo said.
Shao Chengzhang stared at her: "Your apology is not sincere at all."
"How am I not sincere? I even gave you chicken soup."
"Then kiss me."
Chen Zhuo pursed his lips and smiled: "You're pushing it too far, aren't you?"
Shao Chengzhang curled his lips and wanted to say something else, but was caught off guard by Shen Zhuo who kissed him on the cheek.
