Chapter 62 So is this a reward for me?
Although surprised, Xie Zhizhi still acknowledged Guo Hong's character at this moment. "Sister-in-law, consider the remaining money as food for the children. You've worked hard these past few days."
Upon hearing this, Guo Hong put the money back in her pocket without hesitation, and then said happily, "Oh, it's not hard work. I can take care of ten kids like that. They're just too spoiled."
"Since this money is for your child, I'll accept it."
For a moment, Xie Zhizhi couldn't help but admire Guo Hong's genuine nature.
"Okay, let's go then."
Guo Hong then asked, "Are you and Commander Zhou staying for dinner tonight?"
Xie Zhizhi declined, saying, "No, sister-in-law, I have some things to take care of at home."
"Alright then, I won't keep you any longer!"
After leaving Guo Hong's place, looking at the darkening sky, Zhou Lin couldn't help but ask, "It's so late, what about your mother and the others...?"
Xie Zhizhi immediately raised her hand to stop him from acting like a saint, "Stop, don't even think about saying you want to arrange accommodations for them?"
Zhou Lin shook his head, "I was thinking of arranging for someone to keep an eye on their safety. It's too late, and I'm worried about their safety."
Zhou Lin had something else she didn't say: After all, she was Xie Zhizhi's biological mother. If something really happened to her, she was afraid that Xie Zhizhi wouldn't be able to get over it in the future.
After all, he didn't know that Xie Zhizhi had had her soul replaced.
After hearing what he said, Xie Zhizhi gritted her teeth and said, "If something really happens, at least someone has rid the people of a scourge."
Zhou Lin did not comment on these remarks, but in the end, he still arranged for someone to keep an eye on Tian Fang and the others' movements.
Upon learning that Tian Fang and the others were staying at a nearby guesthouse that night, Zhou Lin didn't pay much more attention.
After returning home with Xie Zhizhi and closing the door, Zhou Lin only cared about what Xie Zhizhi would eat that night, and what he would eat.
Xie Zhizhi wasn't too concerned about what to eat for dinner, because she had something much happier to share with Zhou Lin: "Honey, I went to the museum this afternoon."
Zhou Lin nodded; Xie Zhizhi had mentioned this before.
But seeing Xie Zhizhi's happy expression, Zhou Lin guessed that there must be something else going on.
Sure enough, Xie Zhizhi, clinging to his neck, shared with him in a coquettish tone, "Honey, guess what Director Zeng said to me after I helped repair two pieces of jewelry?"
Zhou Lin's hand was now resting on Xie Zhizhi's lower back, his eyes lowered tenderly as he asked, "Hmm?"
"Director Zeng told me that I could set up my stall with peace of mind from now on, without worrying about being kicked out, and that he would put in a good word for me."
Seeing how happy she was, Zhou Lin couldn't resist leaning down and kissing her.
Xie Zhizhi was stunned for a moment: Huh? An initiative to kiss?
Has it changed that much?
"Honey, why are you being so proactive today?" Xie Zhizhi had some doubts in her mind, but she was about to ask them aloud.
This made Commander Zhou blush a little, "You seem quite happy!"
"So is this a reward for me?" Xie Zhizhi asked, her eyes sparkling.
Xie Zhizhi asked sincerely, but Zhou Lin blushed a little. Before he could explain that he couldn't help wanting to kiss Xie Zhizhi, he heard Xie Zhizhi happily shout, "I like it so much, I want more!"
Zhou Lin “…”
That's a fairy!
Without bothering to explain, Xie Zhizhi tugged at his collar, and he lowered his head to lean closer.
They didn't get to eat, and almost ended up "cooking vegetables instead".
At the crucial moment, Zhou Lin restrained himself again.
He clutched his pants, panting, "I'll go cook first!"
Xie Zhizhi: "???"
I've already taken my pants off, and this is what you're telling me?
"Honey, I'm going to see a doctor tomorrow, to see a mental hospital..." Xie Zhizhi said pitifully, hooking her finger around Zhou Lin's.
Seeing her like that, Zhou Lin wished he could take his pants off himself, but…
Isn't Xie Zhizhi afraid?
If she saw his ugly appearance, would she avoid him even more than before?
But... but if the two of them continue like this...
He grasped Xie Zhizhi's hand in return, "Then I'll help you..."
Xie Zhizhi "..."
"...No, that's not how it is..."
Xie Zhizhi quickly lost the ability to describe exactly what it was.
Xie Zhizhi discovered that as long as Zhou Lin didn't take off his pants, he would do anything.
And they are very happy to do it, even enjoying it immensely.
After dinner, without Xie Zhizhi saying anything, he quickly started cleaning the house. After Xie Zhizhi finished washing up, he also quickly went into the bathroom.
Xie Zhizhi sat at her workbench while waiting for him to come out.
Busy with her hands and feet moving quickly, Xie Zhizhi could only give him a quick glance and say, "Honey, I've fallen behind on too much work. You should rest first!"
Zhou Lin didn't rest; he moved a stool and sat next to her to help her.
Zhou Lin was very fast, and he was already quite skilled at sewing hair accessories, able to sew a whole bunch in no time.
He can sew hair accessories and bows.
Working together as a man and a woman makes the work easier. The two of them worked until after 10 o'clock and finally finished the job.
Impatient Commander Zhou immediately said, "It's getting late, let's go to sleep!"
Xie Zhizhi stretched, looking tired. "Yeah, it's getting late. Let's go to sleep!"
Xie Zhizhi thought everyone was simply sleeping.
I never expected that someone who is "clumsy" would also be addicted.
Xie Zhizhi lay in bed the next day, unable to get up; she felt completely drained.
When Zhou Lin picked her up, he asked her, "Are we going to the hospital today?"
"Should I pick you up at noon, or should we go to the hospital first in the morning?"
Xie Zhizhi looked at him and saw a kind of undercurrent of emotion beneath the calm in the depths of his eyes.
Xie Zhizhi suddenly felt a little regretful.
Perhaps... perhaps I shouldn't have provoked certain people.
"Um, I..."
"Zhizhi, don't be afraid. The doctor said it might not be an illness. Let's go see a doctor first."
"And even if you are sick, your condition is not serious."
Xie Zhizhi suddenly asked nervously, "After I saw it, will you sleep with me when I get back?"
Zhou Lin glanced at her, then lowered his eyes. "You go and see first!"
He would be more than happy if Zhizhi didn't mind him, but if Zhizhi was afraid, it would be fine to stay the way things are. He already liked it very much and was very satisfied.
Although he hadn't slept all night, he was still full of energy.
"Oh, oh, okay," Xie Zhizhi said, a little scared.
The feeling of being hollowed out really terrified this young and inexperienced woman.
Zhou Lin noticed Xie Zhizhi's hesitation and fear. He tightened his grip on Xie Zhizhi's arm. Had he revealed something last night?
Why does it seem like Zhizhi is... afraid of him?
"Zhizhi, you..."
To think that in just two days, and without even a real contest, she had been so badly beaten... If...
Xie Zhizhi didn't dare to think about it and immediately looked away, "I'm hungry, I want to eat!"
"Breakfast is back," Zhou Lin said, not having time to think about anything else, and led her out to eat. Hearing that she was hungry, Zhou Lin took her out to eat.
After finishing her meal, Xie Zhizhi waved goodbye without hesitation and went off to make money.
Commander Zhou rubbed his temples, then roused himself to get back to work.
At noon, Zhou Lin was supposed to pick her up alone, but Wen Jinzhou came along as well.
Upon seeing Wen Jinzhou, Xie Zhizhi asked curiously, "Battalion Commander Wen, what brings you here?"
Wen Jinzhou scratched his head. "My...my sister is here?"
Xie Zhizhi: "???"
That's even more wrong, isn't it? Your sister is here, shouldn't you be at home with her?
Come here...
Wen Jinzhou couldn't tell Xie Zhizhi that it was because Wen Qianqian had special feelings for him, her older brother, that he had run away in fear.
