Chapter 45 My husband isn't outside the car again.
Am I being taken advantage of as a wife of a gay man?
First of all, Zhou Lin is out of the question; he's been ruled out.
Zhou Lin was so chaste...
Xie Zhizhi bit her finger and paced back and forth, wondering just how likely it was that she would be labeled a "wife of a gay man".
First of all, she knew about Zhou Lin's reaction at noon.
Putting aside the fact that he's bisexual, a true homosexual wouldn't react that way.
Then again, since he'd taken them all, there was no way he could have run away in defeat.
So, since the original owner didn't join the army for two years, Zhou Lin decided to find her here instead?
This wasn't mentioned in the original book!
But then again, if she's just a mediocre cannon fodder character, why would the author write about her man's time in the military?
Xie Zhizhi: I transmigrated into the book and even read through the entire plot, but I'm sorry, the plot doesn't specifically mention cannon fodder.
And I am the cannon fodder.
I'm so tired!
Sitting back down at her workbench, Xie Zhizhi resumed her workaholic motto: "Men are just a spice of life; making money is the true meaning of life."
"come on(_)!"
After being repeatedly met with cold water, Xie Zhizhi couldn't muster much enthusiasm when she saw her handsome husband the next morning. She could only manage a weak "Good morning!"
She was listless and didn't call him "husband" anymore. Zhou Lin set out breakfast while observing her expression, guessing whether she was angry again or her illness had improved a bit.
As he handed her the chopsticks, noticing the dark circles under her eyes, Zhou Lin asked, "Didn't you sleep well last night?"
Xie Zhizhi blurted out, "Without a man, how can I sleep well!"
"Cough cough!" Zhou Lin had just picked up the porridge when he choked on it.
Choking on the fumes, Xie Zhizhi's handsome face turned red. She couldn't resist asking, "Honey, honey, how are you? Can't you breathe?"
"Do you need artificial respiration?"
Her words and actions convinced Zhou Lin that she was still not well.
"Cough cough cough!!" Zhou Lin coughed even more violently, but kept retreating.
Xie Zhizhi didn't want to put on a show of enthusiasm only to be met with indifference, so she backed away, muttering to herself, "It's pointless."
Zhou Lin lowered his head, not daring to meet her eyes, afraid that she would discover that he really wanted to kiss her.
After breakfast, Zhou Lin washed the lunchbox as usual.
Zhou Lin also had to drive Xie Zhizhi out.
Because he was on vacation.
Xie Zhizhi wasn't the type to force herself to endure hardship; she was the type to enjoy good fortune even when she wasn't meant to. So she decisively asked Zhou Lin to deliver it.
She not only asked Zhou Lin to deliver the goods, but also planned to have him help her sell them.
"Park the car further away later, and we'll walk there. Don't let anyone find out you're using the company vehicle for personal purposes. If they report you, you'll be in big trouble."
Zhou Lin told her apologetically, "I have some things to do this morning, so I can't go with you to sell things. I can pick you up around noon."
"What's wrong?" Xie Zhizhi asked.
Zhou Lin hesitated and didn't say anything.
Xie Zhizhi then pressed further, "Is it inconvenient to talk about official business?"
Zhou Lin shook his head. "No, it's a private matter."
Xie Zhizhi suddenly became excited, "No, you really have someone else outside?"
"Um?"
Xie Zhizhi shrugged. "Otherwise what?"
"You absolutely refuse to let me touch you, and you won't accompany me to sell things. You say you have something to do, or rather, personal matters, but you don't have any relatives in the provincial capital. What else could this be but having connections outside?"
"You're telling me, do you have another family outside?"
Zhou Lin finally understood what she was saying.
Having understood, her face, which had been slightly flushed, suddenly darkened. "My health condition, others may not know, but don't you?"
"I would never do something so morally questionable." He said very seriously.
He was fine until he mentioned his health, at which point Xie Zhizhi's gaze automatically fixed on him.
Zhou Lin was driving, and he couldn't even close his legs, so he had to use his hand to stop the car.
But it would have been better if he hadn't blocked it; the more he did, the more wicked Xie Zhizhi's smile became.
Zhou Lin's dark face turned red in an instant, like a chameleon.
Hearing Xie Zhizhi's wicked laughter, Zhou Lin knew that covering himself like this wasn't a solution, so he raised his hand to push Xie Zhizhi's head, diverting her gaze to the outside of the car window.
Xie Zhizhi didn't look out the window. "What's so interesting about looking out the window?"
"My husband isn't outside the car!"
Zhou Lin blushed even more.
“Zhizhi…” he began, his voice slightly hoarse.
Xie Zhizhi's expression remained unchanged, and she obediently said, "Honey, you speak, I'm listening!"
Seeing her expression, Zhou Lin decided to give up.
I endured her harassing gaze the whole way and escorted her to the vicinity of the department store.
Xie Zhizhi only used eye contact and not physical harassment because she kept traffic safety in mind.
Zhou Lin sat down in front of the psychiatrist again, and the doctor asked him, "Don't your family members want to come?"
Zhou Lin shook his head, then his lips tightened into a line as he considered how to begin, "...What would happen if the patient didn't receive treatment?"
Will it affect my health?
After Zhou Lin finished speaking, he noticed the smile had disappeared from the doctor's face, and he already knew the answer in his heart.
Sure enough, the doctor told him very seriously, "Although she seems more cheerful than before, this is like a person's last burst of energy before death. If we don't intervene in time, her emotional fluctuations will only become more intense, which will not only affect her daily life but also have a great impact on her physical health."
"Like sleep disorders, overeating..."
Upon hearing "overeating," Zhou Lin immediately asked, "You're eating much more than before, and you seem to have a great appetite. Does that count as overeating?"
"If you were eating very little before and have only started eating more recently, then it's fine."
Zhou Lin nodded, indicating that he understood.
The doctor quickly said, "Family members, please don't give up. Although mental illness sounds serious, as long as you take your medication on time and cooperate with the treatment, it won't affect your daily life."
Zhou Lin nodded.
After leaving the hospital, Zhou Lin immediately drove to find Xie Zhizhi.
When Zhou Lin arrived, it was just past ten in the morning, which was Xie Zhizhi's busiest time, and she was surrounded by customers.
Zhou Lin was afraid of disturbing other people's shopping, so he didn't go over immediately. He only went over when Xie Zhizhi was alone.
It was already past eleven o'clock, and Xie Zhizhi's stall didn't have much left.
Business was so good yesterday that Xie Zhizhi brought a lot of goods today, and they still sold a lot.
Xie Zhizhi counted the items; there were still about ten yuan worth left, so she decided to sell a little more.
When it was past midnight and no one was around, she left.
Just after I finished lighting it, the sun overhead was blocked by someone.
Before she even looked up, Xie Zhizhi's mouth was already open: "New styles of hair accessories, hair clips, earrings, prices..."
Then she saw Zhou Lin.
"Husband!" she said sweetly, her eyes crinkling, looking as beautiful as a porcelain doll.
Zhou Lin liked Xie Zhizhi very much, but he couldn't let her get sick; his conscience wouldn't allow it.
"Are you almost sold out?"
"Yes, a lot of people come to this department store to buy things. Everyone who passes by my stall takes a look. They like what I make," Xie Zhizhi stood up, hands on her hips, very proud.
"Are you tired?" Zhou Lin asked.
Xie Zhizhi shook her head, "Not tired at all." With so much money earned, what's there to be tired about!
Zhou Lin looked at her stall on the ground and said, "I'll make you a small shelf and a small stool later. You can take it with you when you go out, hang the things you're selling on the shelf to display them, and sit on the stool to rest when no one is around."
Xie Zhizhi's eyes sparkled (★ω★) "Honey, you can do all this? You're so amazing!"
