Chapter 81 81 "Then I will marry you tomorrow, since you are my...
The call of "husband" made He Jingsui feel refreshed. He let go of her contentedly, leaned over, took out a piece of paper from the tissue box on the coffee table, and wiped his hands slowly. He glanced over and happened to see Chen Zan tidying up his clothes and trousers that were messed up by him.
He chuckled and pulled his lips.
Chen Zan glared at him in reproach, her face still flushed and moist.
She felt good after the tossing and turning, but Chen Zhan didn't feel good at all. With a dark face and a look of displeasure, she stood up and put on her slippers. She pulled the pillow beside her towards him and angrily said to He Jingsui as she walked towards the room, "He Jingsui, you sleep on the sofa tonight. I don't want to sleep with you anymore!"
Chen Zan was angry with him for a long time. At night, she locked the bedroom door and refused to open it no matter how the man outside knocked.
She was determined to make He Jingsui sleep on the sofa.
But lying on the soft big bed, she couldn't fall asleep. She tossed and turned for a long time but still couldn't fall asleep. Chen Zan then realized that she had developed a habit these days and had to hold him in her arms to fall asleep.
Chen Zan helplessly raised her hand to support her forehead, cursing herself in her heart when she had become so delicate and difficult to coax. She was unwilling to accept this fact, but she could not help but admit that sleeping with two people was indeed better than lying alone in bed.
She got up and quietly got out of bed, turning on only the bedside lamp. Putting on her slippers, Chen Zhan carefully walked to the door and unlocked it.
He slowly pushed the door open, revealing a small gap. Unexpectedly, He Jingsui was just outside the door, sitting on the floor, leaning against the wall, taking a nap with his eyes closed.
She thought he was sleeping on the sofa.
He Jingsui had not slept in the first place, and he could hear every little noise clearly. Turning his head and looking up, he saw Chen Zan, who had also not slept, standing behind the door.
Standing up, they met eyes through the door.
"Why aren't you sleeping yet?"
Chen Zhan's hand was still on the bedroom doorknob, sweating from nervousness. Fortunately, He Jingsui couldn't see. She swallowed hard. She clearly couldn't sleep, but she was making up excuses.
She said, "I'm thirsty and want to come out and drink some water."
This little trick could not be hidden from He Jingsui at all. He looked at her with his eyelids raised, his eyes fell on her face calmly and leisurely, but with deep meaning.
He liked Chen Zhan playing these little tricks with him. The corners of his lips rose slightly. He Jingsui did not expose her. He even took the initiative to pour her some water and asked her to wait for him in the room.
Chen Zhan returned to the bed and sat down, her fingers fidgeting restlessly as she pondered what to do next. Should she ask He Jingsui to come back to her room and sleep with her? If she took the initiative, would her anger seem too hasty?
She thought about it for a long time until He Jingsui came to her with a cup of warm water.
She was so engrossed in her thoughts that she was a little slow to react before taking the glass from He Jingsui's hand.
"Thanks."
The temperature was just right, flowing down her throat into her stomach, warming her entire heart. She drank the entire glass of water, and He Jing took the empty cup she handed over and was about to walk out.
“Eh…”
He Jing paused and turned to look over. "What's wrong?"
Chen Zhan raised her eyes cautiously and looked at him. The movement of her fingers showed her hesitation and nervousness. "Were you sleeping at the bedroom door just now?"
"No." He Jingsui answered her neatly, "I don't plan to sleep tonight."
"ah?"
"Admit your mistake to someone." He Jingsui curled the corners of his lips and said, "Let her forgive me as soon as possible and let me go back to my room to sleep."
"I can't sleep without holding her."
My heart feels like it's filled with honey, bubbling with sweetness.
In fact, she was not really angry. Maybe it was just that moment, and after some time she would be back to normal. Just like when she lay down on the bed and prepared to sleep, what she thought about was not the actions of He Jingsui that made her angry, but He Jingsui who held her to sleep every day.
She had developed the habit of sleeping with He Jingsui. When she looked at the empty space next to her, she actually felt lonely and uncomfortable.
So, in order to improve her sleep quality, she softened her heart and gave He Jingsui a way out.
"I'm actually... not mad at you." She made excuses for her thoughts, "It's not easy to sleep on the sofa... why don't you go back to bed..."
He Jingsui didn't even go out. He put the glass on the bedside, then lifted the quilt and got into bed. His movements were neat and skillful, as if he were familiar with the process.
He even patted the empty seat next to him, calling out to Chen Zhan, who was still sitting there staring at him in a daze, and urged her, "Come here quickly, it's too late, we should go to bed."
Chen Zhan walked over and got on the bed beside him. Before she even had time to cover herself with the quilt, the person next to her came over quickly, put his arm around her waist, and pulled her into his arms.
He held her tightly with both hands.
"It's more comfortable to sleep with you in my arms..."
Chen Zhan also hugged him and snuggled into his arms. She closed her eyes and nodded, uttering a lazy "hmm" before continuing his words, "It's different with you here. I'm about to fall asleep..."
"Then go to sleep, wife." He lowered his voice and coaxed her softly.
Sleepiness hit Chen Zhan, who couldn't open his eyes. He could only hold on to the last bit of energy and refuted him in a gentle voice, "He Jingsui, can you please stop yelling? We haven't even gotten married yet. I'm not your wife..."
"Then I will marry you tomorrow. You are my wife anyway."
She thought she was dreaming, rubbing against his arms, sniffing his scent, and happily agreed, "Okay... then you can never leave me for the rest of your life..."
During the days when He Jingsui was by her side, Chen Zhan was very happy every day. They seemed to have returned to that hot summer. She would sleep on He Jingsui's body, read on his legs, open her mouth and wait for him to feed her fruit, sit obediently and let him blow her wet hair, and then she found that she was becoming more and more dependent on him.
Even Xiao Tao couldn't stand their sweet love and said frankly that there was no difference between their showing off their love and dog abuse.
"Once a woman starts to fall in love, she becomes ruthless and desperate."
Chen Zhan felt a little embarrassed by her teasing. His cheeks flushed red and he couldn't control the smile on his lips. "Don't make fun of me..."
"Sister Zhanzhan, I'm not making fun of you," Xiaotao said with a smile, "I'm just summarizing objective laws and facts based on phenomena. You know, when you talk about love, it's like you become a different person, lively, bright, and soft. I feel that this is your truest self."
This was the first time she had seen this side of Chen Zhan. She also felt that this was how Chen Zhan should live.
So, Xiao Tao wished her well, "I hope you and He Jingsui can be well together for the rest of your life."
Chen Zhan gave her a hug and nodded in agreement, "I will continue to walk with him well."
After get off work in the evening, He Jingsui came to pick up Chen Zan. Instead of going back to Chen Zan's house, they changed the route and drove towards He Jingsui's house.
Chen Zhan watched him drive further and further away, then turned and asked him, "Where are we going? Aren't we going home?"
He Jing then drove the car and said, "Let's go back."
"Go back to my house."
The car drove to the doorstep and stopped. Chen Zan unbuckled her seat belt and got out. She ran into the yard and to the flower bed.
It is already autumn, and many flowers in the flower beds have withered. There are also many dead branches and leaves. Some even have only bare branches left, but it can still be seen that they are well cared for.
In fact, she had seen it the last time, seeing the branches and shadows of the flowers and trees in the flowerbeds were full of vitality and green. But just a glance from a distance, she knew that He Jingsui had taken good care of them in the five years she was away.
The man behind her caught up slowly. He stood beside her and turned to look at her. In the autumn dusk, the smile on her lips only grew stronger, brighter and more lively. It was a moment he had never seen before.
His heart was beating fast for her. He Jing rolled his Adam's apple and looked at the bare branches in the flowerbed in front of him.
"The flowers have all withered, yet you are still smiling so happily."
Chen Zhan took his arm and leaned forward lazily. She said, "But they are all growing well. Asui, you've taken good care of them."
The person next to him was smiling like a flower, so He Jing turned around, put his arms around her waist and pulled her into his arms, with a deep smile on the corner of his lips, looking at her so dotingly.
They were affectionate in the evening sun, a cool breeze blew by, and He Jingsui hugged Chen Zhan and smiled as they swayed. It was such a beautiful scene that he even wanted to stop the flow of time, to stay at this moment.
"Where's the reward?" he asked her.
Chen Zhan hugged his waist, hugging him very tightly. After just a few seconds, she poked her head out of his arms and said, "Let me hug you for a while."
He Jingsui chuckled, "That's it?"
"Yeah." Chen Zan nodded.
He pressed the person back into his arms and said, "It's not enough. I want more."
"He Jingsui, why are you so greedy?"
He continued naturally, "Who made you so greedy for me?"
“…”
The words seemed to choke his throat. She clenched her fist and hit him hard on the waist, "Who is greedy for you?"
The man she was holding groaned, a helpless smile spilled from his lips. He lowered his eyes and looked down at the girl in his arms, and said to her seriously: "Do you know where you just knocked?"
Chen Zhan didn't care, "Where?"
"A man's kidney."
“…”
He teased her, "You're quite strong. If anything breaks, you'll be responsible..."
“…”
I knew he would be a scoundrel. After living with him for so long, Chen Zhan was gradually influenced by him and became very sharp-tongued. "If it breaks when I knock on it, then it's not that good."
"Okay, then you try it tonight." Before Chen Zan could react, He Jingsui picked her up and carried her sideways into the house.
Chen Zhan was so frightened that he threw his arms around his neck.
He Jingsui pulled a wicked smile from the corner of his lips and said to her, "It's just right, the things at home are almost gathering dust..."
That night, He Jingsui let Chen Zan see how healthy his kidneys were. All the daily necessities he had bought before were taken out and each type was used.
No matter how much Chen Zan cried and screamed in pain, he didn't stop. In the end, she fell asleep exhausted and had no strength left.
When I stay with He Jingsui, I always feel that time goes by faster. Winter has arrived in the blink of an eye, and the temperature in northern Beijing continues to drop.
The temperature changed too quickly, and Chen Zan fell seriously ill in this fluctuating weather. He had a high fever in the middle of the night, and his little face was as pale as if he was dehydrated. He Jingsui was so distressed that he dragged him directly to the hospital.
After going to the emergency room and getting an IV drip, the high fever finally subsided.
He Jingsui took care of her all night and didn't sleep much himself. The next day, he looked tired and exhausted, and even had a lot of light stubble on his chin. His hair and clothes were messy, and he looked more than ten years older.
Chen Zhan hadn't woken up yet. He had no intention of cleaning himself up. His eyes remained fixed on her, his hands tightly clenched. Only when she woke up did he breathe a sigh of relief.
"How do you feel?" He Jingsui's face was full of fatigue, and there were dark circles under his eyes, but he perked up and asked her, "Are you feeling better?"
"A Sui..." Chen Zan's pale lips opened and closed. He was still weak and his voice was as light as a gust of wind.
"I'm here."
"I still feel bad..." Her white fingertips hooked his palm. In front of him, she gradually learned to take off her armor of pretending to be strong, like a kitten drenched in rain, revealing her vulnerability.
But He Jingsui was heartbroken. He kissed the palm of her hand and then put his face against it.
"It's okay, Zhanzhan, I'll stay with you."
"Hmm..." Chen Zhan curled the corners of his lips, and when he saw the dark circles under his eyebrows, he frowned slightly. "Did you not sleep well because of taking care of me?"
It’s not that he didn’t sleep well, it’s that he didn’t sleep at all.
He stayed by her bedside and sat quietly all night.
"No, don't worry about me." He Jingsui coaxed her, "Stay here and recover from your illness first, then we'll go home."
He leaned over and used his long, bony fingers to smooth her slightly furrowed brow.
They got closer and their eyes met.
He Jing then leaned over and kissed her forehead lovingly.
The next second, the ward door was pushed open from the outside, and Jiang Qiannan and He Shiyi rushed in one after another. As soon as Jiang Qiannan entered the room, he saw He Jingsui and Chen Zan being affectionate with each other. He turned around smoothly without any hesitation and pushed He Shiyi out before she entered the room.
“…”
"What are you doing, Jiang Qiannan..."
He Shiyi's struggling sound could be heard outside the door, and Jiang Qiannan followed behind him, "Don't look at anything indecent, go in later..."
“…”
He pushed the person and helped them close the door. Holding He Shiyi with one hand, Jiang Qiannan freed up his other hand and made an "OK" gesture to the two people in the ward. He also turned back and met the eyes of He Jingsui who was looking at him from the other side.
He said very calmly, "You guys continue."
“…”
In the end, He Jingsui walked to the door, opened it, and asked the two people who were making a fuss outside.
"Why are you here now?"
"It's Shiyi..." Jiang Qiannan didn't finish his words before He Shiyi snatched them away. She took away the hand covering her mouth and asked him about Chen Zhan's situation, "How is Zhan Zhan now?"
"It's okay, don't worry."
He Shiyi refused to listen to He Jingsui's one-sided story. She walked around him, entered the ward, and quickly ran to Chen Zan's bedside, "Zhan Zan..."
Chen Zan saw He Shiyi running towards him, and a smile appeared on his pale face, "Shiyi."
"How are you..." He Shiyi looked at her with a worried look on his face, "Are you feeling better?"
"I'm fine. I'm much better now. Don't worry about me." Chen Zan comforted her.
"How could I not worry about you!" He Shiyi sat on the chair next to the bed, holding Chen Zhan's hand, and said to her with a beaming face: "When my brother told me that you were sick and hospitalized, I was almost scared to death."
"I'm glad you're okay."
Chen Zhan curled his lips, "With your brother here, how could anything happen to me?"
He Shiyi thought about it and agreed with this, but he still tried to show off his authority in front of her. He lowered his voice and whispered to Chen Zhan, "If he dares to get you into trouble, I will make him pay for it."
"No, that won't work. I'll feel bad." Chen Zan said shyly.
He Shiyi was fed a mouthful of dog food for no reason. She raised her finger to poke Chen Zhan's arm, leaned close to her ear and teased her, "Zhan Zhan, are you so in love now?"
"He Jingsui is so happy." She whispered in her ear, "I'm so envious."
"Jiang Qiannan is also very good to you." Chen Zhan was not afraid of her at all, and turned the tables on her. "Don't you feel happy?"
“…”
He Shiyi blushed instantly, covering her face with her hands in shyness, "Why did you mention him so nicely——"
With He Shiyi around, Chen Zan felt much better. He Jing then went to the breakfast shop outside and bought some rice porridge for Chen Zan, which warmed him up after drinking it.
The two sisters sat together and chatted for a long time.
In order not to disturb the sisters from reminiscing about the past, the two grown men went to the hospital corridor.
This was the first time Jiang Qiannan saw He Jingsui looking so sloppy, with messy hair and clothes, dark circles under his eyes, and stubble on his face.
It’s all because of love.
Jiang Qiannan laughed and teased him, raising his hand to help him straighten his wrinkled collar, "Brother, are you ready to go all out?"
He Jing glanced at him with a lazy look and pushed his hand away.
He looked too tired and listless.
Jiang Qiannan was happy, concerned about his health, and asked him to go back and rest.
"She's here, I can't leave."
"Why can't you leave?" Jiang Qiannan didn't think too much and assured him, "Shi Yi and I are here. We promise to take good care of you."
"No." He Jingsui frowned, "I'm worried."
“…”
"I want to see her with my own eyes."
