Chapter 57 Nobody Gains an Advantage
Once Wen Jinzhou left, Zhou Lin wanted to back down.
He suddenly understood the meaning of the saying "Drink today, for tomorrow we may die."
But Xie Zhizhi dodged it. When she opened her mouth, her voice was hoarse. "I want to drink water," she said pitifully, staring at Zhou Lin with pleading eyes.
Xie Zhizhi felt the hand gripping her waist tighten even more.
Xie Zhizhi said sincerely, "I'm really thirsty!"
Commander Zhou lowered his head and kissed her lips before speaking in a deep, hoarse voice, "I'll go get some water!"
He picked the person up and carried them back to the bed inside the house.
Once she sat steadily on the bed, Xie Zhizhi resumed her sword-selling business. She grabbed Zhou Lin, who was about to get some water, and said, "Let me drink some water first, then we'll continue."
This time, however, Zhou Lin remained silent.
He glanced down at a certain part of his body, a look of pain and inferiority flashing quickly in his dark eyes.
If things continue to develop, will Xie Zhizhi, who is ill, also find his place unpleasant?
Zhou Lin quickly poured water for Xie Zhizhi, and fearing that Xie Zhizhi would be impatient, he even used two teacups to cool it down before bringing it over. "You can drink it now!"
Xie Zhizhi took the teacup and gulped down half of it.
Zhou Lin drank the remaining half.
In this "kissing battle," it seems neither of them gained the upper hand.
After Zhou Lin finished drinking the rest of Xie Zhizhi's water, he noticed that Xie Zhizhi had already drawn the bedroom curtains.
Zhou Lin “…”
Xie Zhizhi lay on her side on the bed, propping her head up with her hand, and looked eagerly at Zhou Lin standing by the bed.
Zhou Lin silently turned around and left with his teacup.
Then, quite a while later, after Xie Zhizhi suspected he had run away, he returned.
After Zhou Lin returned, he dared not enter the dimly lit bedroom, not to guard against Xie Zhizhi, but to guard against himself.
He was afraid that if he acted impulsively, he would do something he shouldn't have, and then Xie Zhizhi would dislike him again.
He was indeed a bit too proud in that area, because he did have flaws.
Zhou Lin stood in the bedroom doorway, arms crossed, leaning against the doorframe, staring at the ground in a defensive posture. "Zhizhi, do you know about my health condition?"
"Hmm?" Xie Zhizhi couldn't remember for a moment.
The doctor said that in cases like Xie Zhizhi's, there might be some memory discrepancies.
Zhou Lin thought she must have forgotten. "I... I'm rather ugly down there!" Zhou Lin said, lowering her gaze even further.
"Where?" Although she asked where, Xie Zhizhi's gaze automatically locked onto the object.
Zhou Lin lowered his eyes, unaware of her gaze. Upon hearing this, he raised his finger and pointed.
"As long as it works, that's fine!" Xie Zhizhi was also very straightforward.
Her words stirred Zhou Lin's emotions. He looked up at Xie Zhizhi and saw that her expression was natural and without any pretense. He asked softly, "You... don't mind anymore?" As he spoke, he lowered his arms from his chest.
Then I thought about it again. Xie Zhizhi was sick. Sick Xie Zhizhi was different from before. It seemed like asking her would be pointless.
As soon as he said the word "dislike," Xie Zhizhi knew what he meant and immediately shook her head, "I've never disliked it. It was always my mom and Granny Tian who caused trouble."
"She insisted on asking me for money, trying to squeeze every last drop of blood out of you."
"Sigh, I used to be so stupid, I believed everything I heard, and I wasted my precious youth." Xie Zhizhi finished speaking, shook her head and sighed, looking truly regretful.
Seeing that she remembered, Zhou Lin tightened his grip on his side.
Perhaps Xie Zhizhi wasn't sick, but rather had truly come to terms with it.
Of course, we'll have to see a doctor to confirm this.
So this time, Zhou Lin brought up a condition with Xie Zhizhi: "Before we do *that*, can you grant me one request?"
Xie Zhizhi thought he was trying to turn the tables, so she asked, "Do you need money? I have some!"
"I'll give you a hundred!"
"Please provide better service."
Zhou Lin “…”
How can a man provide attentive service?
Later, he learned how to be considerate.
Just like kissing today, he will learn it on his own without being taught, and he will be able to apply what he has learned to other situations.
“It’s not about the money,” Zhou Lin said.
“I want to take you to the hospital, you…”
Xie Zhizhi recalled the last time he took her to see a psychiatrist, and lay back down on the bed. "Does he still think I have mental problems?"
She has indeed changed a lot compared to the Xie Zhizhi of the past, but she can't go back to being the Xie Zhizhi of the past. The two are two different people.
For Wu Caifeng and the other older, less educated people, she said she had come to terms with it, that she had been bullied so badly and didn't want to be bullied anymore, and they believed her.
But Zhou Lin, who became the commander of a legion at a young age, was not so easily fooled. Of course, he did not believe in any ghosts or demons, so he immediately suspected that Xie Zhizhi had been driven to mental illness by the Xie family.
When Xie Zhizhi asked him a question, Zhou Lin considered it for a moment and said, "It's not so much suspicion, it's more like... I'm worried about you!"
After a brief blush, Zhou Lin thought that since they had already kissed, it was easier to speak: "You are my wife, I am your man, and it's right that I care about you, isn't it?"
Xie Zhizhi immediately shook her head. "That's right, honey. Just because you said that, I'll go with you."
"Don't worry, it's definitely not because I'm lusting after you."
Zhou Lin still couldn't get used to her bold words, and his ears still turned red, but he hoped that Xie Zhizhi went there because she was lusting after his body.
"Then I'll ask for another day off tomorrow..." Today is Zhou Lin's last day of vacation.
Before Zhou Lin could finish speaking, Xie Zhizhi interrupted, "Don't invite him yet. I promised Director Zeng I'd visit his museum tomorrow!"
"Then how about the day after tomorrow?"
Xie Zhizhi nodded, "Okay!"
"But..." Xie Zhizhi's gaze automatically found its target, "Does it really have to wait until I see a doctor?"
Under her direct gaze, Zhou Lin turned around and said, "Zhizhi, I'm afraid you'll regret this!"
"I won't……"
Zhou Lin walked over and opened the curtains. "Wen Jinzhou just contacted me. I'm going to check on him. You rest for a while."
As soon as the light shone in, Xie Zhizhi knew that her beautiful moment for the day was over.
Zhou Lin walked to the door, then came back and kissed her forehead. "I'll be back in a bit," he said in a very gentle voice.
Xie Zhizhi suddenly felt energetic.
Indeed, it's still very important for men to experience sexual indiscretion.
Whether it's a small amount of meat or a large amount of meat, once it's served, it's what everyone craves.
Xie Zhizhi immediately winked at Zhou Lin, "Honey, I'm waiting for you!"
Zhou Lin's eyes were filled with lust again, but he still got up and left the bedroom.
As soon as Zhou Lin left, Xie Zhizhi got up and got to work.
Eating meat isn't something to rush, but making money is something you do every moment of every day.
Zhou Lin thought Wen Jinzhou had something important to tell him, but Wen Jinzhou told him, "It's over, I'm not going back, so my mom sent my sister."
"What should we do, Lao Zhou? You need to think of a solution quickly."
Zhou Lin's expression was very bad. "Let her go back, or you can go back."
Wen Jinzhou scratched his head anxiously, "There's no way I can go back. My sister isn't easy to talk to either, otherwise I wouldn't have come to you to talk to you."
“You have no idea how much my sister is spoiled by my mom at home. From childhood to adulthood, only my brother and I listen to her. She never listens to my brother or me.”
