Chapter 49
Before returning to work at the Southern Hospital, Shi Yu still had two desensitization training sessions to complete, so at the old man's urging, Yun Lin'ai and Shi Yu stayed in Bitan Garden for a week before returning to the manor.
"You didn't even bother to tell me when you came back. The two of them went off to have a good time, leaving me alone busy at the company!" Yun Zhi came over with the help of the housekeeper, leaning on a cane. Even at such an old age, he still acted like a child.
Yun Linai remained calm, "The company's agent heard that you often play chess with old friends in the office."
Yun Lin'ai had uncovered all of Yun Zhi's movements. He snorted coldly and didn't want to say a word to him. He said that the newly recognized grandson was better.
Shi Yu said apologetically, "Can I spend more time with you next time?"
Yun Zhi regained his amiable demeanor when facing Shi Yu. "I'm busy every day, I don't need you to accompany me! Xiao Shi, just focus on your health, don't worry about so many things."
"Come back when you're tired of working at the hospital. I think it would be best if both of you quit. Can't Jinhai Bay even afford to support two people?" Yun Zhi felt sad and heartbroken when he thought of Yun Lin'ai's high-risk job.
Unexpectedly, Lian Shiyu also has to become a doctor. The two of them will be so busy in the future that they will rarely see each other.
If people don't see each other for a few months, they will drift apart. Yun Zhi began to worry. Shi Yu couldn't be snatched away by someone else.
Yun Linai said nothing and took out two red notebooks. The old man's eyes lit up instantly.
"Married!" Yun Zhi quickly took it and looked at it several times, "You are not lying to me, are you?"
Seeing that the steel stamp inside was real, he finally felt relieved and patted Yun Linai's shoulder several times.
"He can't run away." Yun Lin'ai remained calm. Shi Yu's ears turned red and he tried to pinch his palm, but was held.
Yun Zhi was really happy and told the housekeeper, "Call that Xiao Lu to come for dinner, and Xiao Jiang too!"
Shi Yu walked behind and asked Yun Linai, "Isn't it a bit too high-profile?"
Unexpectedly, Yun Lin'ai told him, "Lu Yichuan went to get the certificate with Doctor Jiang the same day he returned. They got there earlier than us, and the whole team knew about it within an hour."
Shi Yu was speechless, which was very much like Lu Yichuang's style.
The old man was in a good mood today. He put a table full of dishes on the table and invited four people to sit down.
Yun Zhi doesn't like drinking, and Yun Lin'ai and Lu Yichuang always have to be prepared for emergency tasks even when they are on vacation. Shi Yu and Jiang Kuo can't drink much, so there is a bottle of pineapple soda on the table for each person, which is kept ready by the housekeeper because the young master of the Yun family likes to drink it.
Shi Yu took a bite, and the pineapple flavor filled his mouth. This reminded him of the charity dinner six years ago, when Yun Lin kissed him, he also tasted the pineapple flavor.
A piece of rice cake was placed in the bowl, and Yun Linai said, "The dishes haven't been served yet, so let's fill our stomachs first."
Shi Yu took a sip and it tasted like osmanthus.
Lu Yichuan hadn't tasted the food in the manor for a long time. He was a little tearful at this moment, with a sense of sweetness after bitterness. "Grandpa, you don't know how hard it is to swallow the canteen in the war zone. It's nothing compared to yours!"
Yunzhi was happy: "If you like it, come often. You can't forget me just because you have Xiaojiang."
Jiang Kuo's usually expressionless face also showed a hint of gentleness, and he followed Lu Yichuan in calling Yun Zhi: "No, Grandpa, I will come to see you with him."
Halfway through the meal, Shi Yu could no longer eat anything. His appetite was much smaller than before. Perhaps it was because of the hot weather, which made him have no appetite.
Yun Lin'ai saw that he didn't want to eat, so he asked the chef to serve each of them a bowl of stomach-moistening clear soup, and stared at Shi Yu as he drank a little.
"Are you full?" Yun Lin'ai lowered his head and asked him, rubbing his stomach with his hand under the table.
Shi Yu grabbed his hand and was embarrassed to let him move. He nodded and said, "I'm full. My stomach doesn't hurt anymore."
Yun Lin'ai then withdrew his hand.
While Lu Yichuang was eating, he did not forget to peel shrimps for Jiang Kuo. He tasted every dish while chewing slowly. Jiang Kuo's bowl was piled up like a small mountain.
He reluctantly reached out and quietly pinched Lu Yichuan's leg, "Eat it yourself, I can't eat that much."
The person being pinched didn't get angry but smiled and said, "I'm worried you won't have enough to eat. It's okay, you can eat first. If you can't finish it, give it to me."
Jiang Kuo felt helpless and softened his heart. He took out a tissue and wiped the other person's hands clean while peeling shrimp. He also lowered his head and reminded him, "Remember to wash your hands later, and..."
Before he could finish, Lu Yichuan interrupted him: "You have to clean the nails too, or you won't let me get in bed."
He said the last sentence in a very low voice, and only the two of them heard it. Jiang Kuo glared at him.
The old man looked at the four people with some relief. He rolled his eyes and suddenly said with emotion, "Since we're married, we have to have a wedding, right? And we should also consider having children."
The four people present remained silent and didn't respond. Yun Zhi knew they had their own careers to pursue, so he assumed they didn't care much about it and let it go. "Forget it, forget it. If you don't want to, then don't worry about it. I can't interfere in young people's affairs. Just ignore what I said."
After the meal, old man Yunzhi felt a little tired, so the housekeeper took the lead in helping him to rest. Suddenly, there were only four people left in the restaurant.
Everyone has different thoughts in their minds. Yun Lin'ai and Shi Yu have not yet carefully considered whether to have children in the future, while Lu Yichuang and Jiang Kuo seem to have had an argument over this matter.
Jiang Kuo had mentioned children to him, but Lu Yichuang showed a frightened expression when the topic was brought up, so the matter was dropped.
So Lu Yichuan, who always disliked silence, suddenly fell silent at this moment. Jiang Kuo was the first to speak, "Little boy, I just heard from grandpa that the back garden is very beautiful. Can you take me to see it?"
Shi Yu silently sensed the atmosphere between the two people and understood: "Of course, I'll take you there."
......
As soon as the two left the restaurant, Yun Lin'ai heard Lu Yichuang let out a long sigh.
Yun Linai led the group to the teahouse. Although he didn't like tea, he made some tea for Lu Yichuan. "It seems you two don't agree on the same idea."
Only in front of Yun Lin'ai did Lu Yichuan open up. "You know what? The last flood really scared me. Now I just hope he's healthy. Giving birth is so dangerous, I will never agree to it in my lifetime."
Yun Linai nodded, "So what did you tell him?"
Lu Yichuan was baffled. "Of course he's firmly against it. I admit he's sad, but I have to make him give up the idea. The two of us are enough to be together for a lifetime. Why do we need to have a child?"
Yun Linai remained neutral. "He really wants to give you a child?"
Lu Yichuan was very troubled: "Not really. He just asked me if I had thought about it that day. After I strongly objected, he ignored me. I tried to coax him back these past two days, but who knew grandpa would bring it up again."
Later he slowly came to his senses and thought, "Is it my bad attitude that made him angry?"
Yun Lin'ai unexpectedly raised her eyes to glance at Lu Yichuan. After receiving his gaze, Lu Yichuan indeed wilted. "My attitude was a bit bad, but I was just too afraid of losing him."
Yun Linai refilled his tea and took a sip of the pineapple soda in his hand. "Isn't that what he is?"
"Although he doesn't have his parents by his side like you, he thinks about things more than you do. You're afraid of losing him, and he's just as afraid of losing you. He might even be thinking about what you'd do if he really wasn't in this world anymore."
Yun Lin'ai's face was expressionless, as if he was also dissecting Shi Yu's heart, "I can't die first, he will be sad."
Shi Yu took Jiang Kuo to stroll around the garden from beginning to end. The basket of flowers he carried was full of freshly picked flowers. The two of them went to the flower room, and Shi Yu cut each flower branch to the right position, wrapped them up and gave them to Jiang Kuo.
"Thank you." Jiang Kuo took a big bunch, and the fragrance of flowers surrounded his nose.
Shi Yu took him to the flower pavilion to sit down and rest. He opened his mouth but still said nothing.
Jiang Kuo noticed his expression and smiled slightly, "Want to ask about me and Lu Yichuan?"
Shi Yu was embarrassed for a moment, then nodded. "If you feel offended, you don't have to say it. Don't force yourself."
Jiang Kuo: "There's nothing I can't say. It's just that I hadn't thought about having children yet, and he flatly rejected me."
"Your attitude is so firm that I don't know what to say." Jiang Kuo thought of Lu Yichuang, his expression still gentle.
Shi Yu asked him, "What about you?"
Jiang Kuo was surprised: "Me?"
"He's already like that, what else can I think? Having a child is a matter for both of us to decide. If he doesn't want one, I won't want one either. After all, raising a child takes too much energy."
Jiang Kuo sighed, "He's afraid of me having a baby. Since that fear can't be eliminated, it doesn't matter how much I want it. No Omega wants to have a baby and have to worry about the Alpha's emotions."
Shi Yu listened silently. The problem Jiang Kuo mentioned didn't seem to be applicable to him and Yun Lin'ai.
Their child was conceived completely by accident, and Yun Lin'ai didn't find out until many years later after the miscarriage. Shi Yu only felt his sadness and never heard him mention his views on the future.
To outsiders, the loss of this child seemed unimportant to him, but only Shi Yu knew how much self-blame and sadness Yun Lin'ai felt.
At night after the reunion, Shi Yu would sometimes wake up in a daze and move around. When the people around him noticed his movements, they would immediately become aware of it and hold his lower abdomen tightly again. However, they knew something subconsciously and did not dare to use too much force. Even when they loosened their grip, Yun Lin'ai would always touch him gently up and down.
It was an action that I had never taken before I knew that child.
Shi Yu was so lost in thought that he didn't notice he was sweating from the summer heat. The housekeeper brought two glasses of iced sour plum juice, and Shi Yu drank a few sips to cool down, only to be caught red-handed by Yun Lin'ai, who had come out looking for them.
There was still half a glass left in the glass. Yun Linai raised his hand and pulled the straw out of the person's mouth. "It's too cold. Ask the housekeeper to prepare something cold."
Yun Lin'ai took the ice cup away and tried the person's hand, and it was indeed cold.
Shi Yu frowned and complained softly, "I only drank a little."
Yun Lin'ai chuckled, "I understand." But he still didn't let him drink the sour plum juice filled with ice.
The sprinkler in the garden started to spray water on time. Jiang Kuo stood under the eaves and took out his mobile phone to take pictures in high spirits. A hint of rainbow could be seen in the sunlight.
"A rainbow can be drawn with one stroke. Do you know how to do it?"
Jiang Kuo raised an eyebrow when he heard the source of the voice, crossed his arms and asked, "How do we do it?"
Lu Yichuang found the electric sprinkler from somewhere. He held Jiang Kuo's right arm from behind and lowered his head to teach him.
The sprinkler head was pointed at the flower field in the sun, and Lu Yichuan told Jiang Kuo, "Press this."
Jiang Kuo had never used this before, so he listened to his instructions patiently and fiddled with the sprinkler in his hand very seriously. He pressed the button, and a stream of water was released from the nozzle, spraying directly into the blooming garden.
Jiang Kuo stared blankly at the place not far away. As Lu Yichuang drew a semicircle with his arm, the sunlight was refracted and reflected in the water droplets, forming a semicircular rainbow, which gradually appeared as Lu Yichuang fiddled with it.
It really is a rainbow that can be drawn with one stroke.
"Did I lie to you, Doctor Jiang?" Lu Yichuan stood very close to Jiang Kuo and said humbly, "I know I was wrong. It was my bad attitude."
Jiang Kuo's lips curved slightly, but Lu Yichuan didn't notice and thought he was still angry. "Although I still have my own opinion about the child, I will also respect your choice. From now on, your choice is the most important. Forgive me?"
Lu Yichuang pretended to be pitiful and poked Jiang Kuo's back with his finger, but because there were other people around, he didn't dare to do anything else.
Jiang Kuo turned around and looked at the dog-like eyes with amusement.
"So there's still room for negotiation?"
Lu Yichuang bit his lip, gritted his teeth and hummed, looking ready to die, which made Jiang Kuo laugh.
"Okay, then forget it. It's fine for two people."
Lu Yichuan raised his eyes and looked at him in surprise, "Really?"
Jiang Kuo didn't respond. "Let it be. What if you like it again?"
Lu Yichuan instantly made a gesture of swearing to the heavens, "Not at all, I only want you."
