Chapter 18
It was so comfortable. Jiang Yu was a little sleepy at first. She soon felt sleepy lying like this. Half asleep and half awake, she felt a piece of clothing covering her body. When she opened her eyes, she found Jiang Zhe next to her. She rubbed her sleepy eyes and asked, "Is it okay for me to lie here like this and not meet your friends?"
Jiang Zhe didn't think anything was wrong. Seeing that she had woken up, he said, "You go back to sleep. Wait for me for a while, and we'll go back."
Apparently, they might have something else to say.
Jiang Yu thought about it and decided that she should meet his friend, so she followed him and said, "I'll go see if there's anything else to eat."
When they arrived, they saw a group of people gathered together with wine bottles on the ground. Jiang Yu remembered that they drove here, so she asked Jiang Zhe, "You didn't drink?"
Jiang Zhe shrugged his shoulders and said, "I have no interest in alcohol."
Wei Cheng came over and heard their conversation. He quickly said, "We dare not let him drink. Let alone if he drives, we can't drink even if he doesn't drive. What if he gets drunk and still needs you to take care of him? That's not a manly thing to do."
Jiang Yu had actually met such men before. After hearing what Wei Cheng said, she suddenly had a good impression of them. Apart from anything else, their values were still very positive.
People around greeted Jiang Yu one after another, some called her sister-in-law, some called her sister-in-law, and some called her boss lady.
Jiang Zhe brought the recliner over. A boy named Xiao Luo wearing glasses next to him said, "Tsk tsk, when I asked Jiang Zhe out before, he would always cross his arms and stay away from the crowd. This is the first time I see him being so diligent. It's true that everything is different after having a wife. I just tasted a bite of Jiang Zhe's barbecue, and I didn't expect that he grilled it so well."
They have known each other for a long time. They knew each other in college and are still in contact at work. Although Jiang Zhe is not very close to them, he is used to it. So he said this to Jiang Yu as a joke when she was around.
The man who was grilling next to the grill also joined in the fun: "Azhe, I'm not as good as you at grilling. It just so happens that your wife is here, so you should show off your skills."
Jiang Zhe ignored him and asked Jiang Yu: "Do you want to eat more?"
Jiang Yu had already eaten a lot there just now, and now she couldn't eat anymore and refused, "I don't want to eat anymore."
Jiang Zhe said coldly, "Oh, then I won't bake it."
Everyone immediately laughed at Jiang Zhe: "Good man, if your wife wants to eat it, you bake it, if she doesn't want to eat it, you don't bake it. How can you be like this?"
After laughing, someone asked, "When will the baby be born?"
Jiang Yu: "There are still more than three months."
The man then smiled and said, "Okay, when your child is born, I will give you a red envelope."
Then someone nearby immediately started to make a noise: "Why wait until the baby is born? This is the first time you meet A-Zhe's wife, you should at least give her a meeting gift."
Because someone started to make a fuss, soon everyone started giving Jiang Yu red envelopes. Some had already prepared red envelopes, while those who hadn't prepared directly transferred money via WeChat. Suddenly, she was stuffed with so many red envelopes, and each of them was worth thousands. There was even someone who transferred 10,000 to her. Jiang Yu was a little overwhelmed. She looked at Jiang Zhe next to her, but he didn't care. He said, "Take it. They don't need it."
Jiang Yu: ...
After receiving the red envelopes and sitting here for a while, Jiang Zhe saw that Jiang Yu seemed bored and asked, "Do you want to go for a walk on the beach?"
They could hear the sound of the waves here, which was very soothing. There were people picking up shells on the beach with flashlights, some with children. Jiang Yu really wanted to walk on the beach, so she agreed: "Okay."
Jiang Yu said something to everyone and went over. Before leaving, someone was very considerate and took a piece of Jiang Yu's clothing.
The wind is stronger at the seaside, and if she doesn't wear clothes, it might be a little cold. But fortunately, Jiang Zhe brought her a piece of clothes, so even though the wind is strong, she still feels warm.
There were children digging crabs with their fathers using shovels at the beach. Jiang Yu looked at the children jumping around and recalled the time when she played at the beach with her family when she was a child. She asked Jiang Zhe curiously, "Have you ever been to the beach?"
Jiang Zhe shook his head: "No."
She thought he should have been here. After all, her childhood was so colorful, and she thought he should be like this too.
She was slightly surprised when she heard that. She opened her mouth slightly and asked, "What were you like when you were a child?"
Jiang Zhe recalled for a while: "Maybe I spend more time with books, and maybe I'll take some interest classes on weekends."
"What are your specialties?"
As Jiang Yu was talking, she suddenly found it a little funny and felt like she was in an interview.
"I have learned boxing, I can play the violin a little, I have a basic understanding of painting, and I have also learned chess and go for a few years."
Jiang Zhe knows a little bit, but it is definitely different from what I understand.
He said he knew a little, but to Jiang Yu, it meant he knew a lot.
Jiang Yu thought about what she knew and smiled, "I don't think I know a lot. When I was little, I always ran around with other kids. I learned a lot of things, but I didn't know how to do them. When I joined a club in college, people asked me what my special skills were. I thought about it for a long time and finally said that I could sing."
Jiang Zhe felt that there was nothing wrong with this. At least, her life at the beginning was simple and happy.
"What songs can you sing?"
"That was in the past. Later, I was busy with work and didn't sing much. Now I may be out of tune when I sing."
"Can I listen to it for a minute?"
The wind blew up Jiang Yu's clothes and hair. She wanted to refuse, but there seemed to be some expectation in his eyes. Jiang Yu thought for a while, and finally hummed a little song for him. After humming, she felt a little embarrassed: "Is it a little out of tune?"
Jiang Zhe said: "I think it sounds good."
“I think there’s sand in my shoes.”
Jiang Zhe squatted down and reached out to take off her shoes, fearing that he would not be able to stand steadily. Jiang Yu could only hold his hand and asked, "Am I a little heavy?"
Jiang Zhe helped her pour out the sand from her shoes, put them back on for her, and said, "No."
After putting on their shoes, they walked along the beach for a while and then went back. Before leaving, they saw a nice shell and asked Jiang Zhe to pick it up for her. Jiang Yu was physically disabled and couldn't bend over. She wanted to play in the water but was afraid of catching a cold, so she could only go back with some regrets. On the way back, she said to Jiang Zhe, "After I give birth to the baby, I will definitely come to the beach to have some fun."
Jiang Zhe agreed.
After Jiang Zhe fell asleep at night, he suddenly felt that he was back at the beach. He was walking alone in the dark beach. At dawn, he saw someone on the beach. He looked over and saw Jiang Yu from a distance. She was playing freely on the beach with a little girl who looked very much like her. He also heard her voice. It was the song she sang to him tonight. She sang it very beautifully.
