Chapter 20, check if it's broken.
Shi Nianzhi blushed slightly, his lips parted, and he breathed in small, shallow breaths.
Those lips were so alluring; Lu Jiunian's eyes darkened.
He gently rubbed the corner of his eye with his thumb twice, and said, "Next time you make me angry, I'll grab you and make you cry."
"I didn't mean to upset you. And I didn't cry, I just couldn't breathe, I was suffocating. Next time, let me catch my breath, I'm about to suffocate."
Shi Nianzhi spoke in a serious tone.
"Oh."
This little man is so charming, yet so disappointing.
Lu Jiunian pushed Shi Nianzhi away and got out of the car.
He leaned against the car door, lit a cigarette, and after smoking for a while, instructed the driver, "Take him back."
Lujiang Bay.
Back in this place again, Shi Nianzhi took a shower and sat on the bed, looking at his ID card.
After thinking for a moment, he went outside, picked up the landline, and dialed his father's number.
"Hello, who is it?"
"Dad, it's me."
"You've arrived at President Lu's place?"
"Um."
Shi Dazhuang's voice was earnest and earnest, "Nianzhi, now that you're with President Lu, don't argue with him anymore. Remember what Dad told you? President Lu has been kind to us, so you should treat him well and move him with your kindness, understand?"
Shi Nianzhi sat on the sofa, fiddling with the telephone cord, frowning as if he wanted to say something.
Shi Dazhuang continued, "Remember, don't be willful. Also, study hard so you can have a bright future. Mr. Lu's people harvested the rice and helped sell the pigs at home. Oh, pork prices are so high now, we made a lot of money from those ten pigs. There's not much farm work to do at home now. Your mother and I are doing well, so don't worry about us. Phone calls are expensive, I'm hanging up now."
This is his father, Shi Dazhuang, a simple and honest farmer who lived a frugal life and never wasted a single grain of food.
Shi Nianzhi pursed his lips and put the phone back.
He went upstairs and, as he passed the study, he pushed open the door to take a look. He found that his books and documents were still there, without any signs of being disturbed.
Across from his study was Lu Jiunian's study, which was always kept closed.
Occasionally, when the door was not closed, Shi Nianzhi would see the layout inside.
His study was three times the size of his, clean and tidy, with many books on the bookshelves. So many books made Nianzhi, this academic underachiever, have a headache.
Therefore, he doesn't like to go to his study.
Shi Nianzhi walked into his study, opened the test paper, glanced at it, and saw the questions on it.
He knows the question, but he doesn't know the question.
So Shi Nianzhi stuffed the test paper back in his hand and decided to go to sleep.
He is a person who dislikes studying extremely much, which stems from the fact that he can't learn anything.
But he was also very afraid of his teacher.
Fortunately, he doesn't have to go to school anymore.
Shi Nianzhi lay on the bed and breathed a heavy sigh of relief.
God knows that ever since Lu Jiunian sent him to school, he has been dreaming about being in class or taking exams. It's terrifying. He's under so much pressure that he hasn't had a good night's sleep.
A large part of the reason Shi Nianzhi decided to leave Lu Jiunian was because she wanted to get a good night's sleep.
Lu Jiunian returned late at night, reeking of alcohol.
He prefers quiet and doesn't like to have too many servants at the villa at night, but he has a lot of social engagements. If he drinks alcohol and doesn't drink hangover soup, he will get a headache and feel unwell, so Aunt Zhang often stays at night.
Upon hearing that he had returned, Aunt Zhang prepared to go to the kitchen to brew some hangover tea.
Lu Jiunian called out to her, "Go and call him down."
Upon hearing this, Aunt Zhang bowed slightly. "Third Master, Young Master Shi went to bed early and is sleeping soundly at this hour."
Lu Jiunian leaned back on the sofa, pressing his aching temples. "Go wake him up and make me some hangover tea. You said he goes to bed early, he should be well-rested by now."
"OK."
Aunt Zhang hurried upstairs and knocked on Shi Nianzhi's door.
After a while, Shi Nianzhi rubbed his eyes and stood barefoot on the floor. He opened the door.
Fortunately, Shi Nianzhi has a good temper, doesn't have much morning grumpiness, and doesn't stay in bed long; he gets up whenever called.
Aunt Zhang smiled and said, "Young Master Shi, Third Master said you should go down and brew some hangover tea."
Shi Nianzhi squinted under the corridor lights. "Hangover tea? I don't know how to make it."
"I'll teach you, it's very simple. Third Master might have had a bit too much to drink. If you don't go down, he'll get angry."
"oh."
Shi Nianzhi walked back, his figure tall and slender beneath his gray pajamas. He put on his slippers and said, "Let's go."
They said they wanted him to come down and brew some hangover tea.
But actually, it was Aunt Zhang who cooked it, and he just took it out.
Shi Nianzhi held up an exquisite cup and handed it to the man who was leaning back on the sofa as if he were asleep.
He leaned down and called him softly, "Hey."
Lu Jiunian suddenly opened his eyes, which were slightly red from drinking. He looked at Shi Nianzhi and asked, "What should you call me?"
Shi Nianzhi stood there, thought for a moment seriously, and said, "President Lu."
The man's eyes suddenly turned cold. "You really want to sever ties with me?"
Shi Nianzhi lowered her eyes, "I called you husband because I was afraid you would be angry."
"You still know I can get angry?"
"You're always angry."
Shi Nianzhi looked around before finally fixing her gaze on Lu Jiunian's legs.
He blinked. He wasn't stupid. Did he think he couldn't tell whether he was angry or not?
Shi Nianzhi said softly again, "In your heart, I may not be worthy of calling you those two words."
The man countered, "Which two words?"
"husband."
Lu Jiunian laughed in exasperation, "Do you think I'm just playing with you?"
"no."
Lu Jiunian suddenly shouted sharply, "What is that?"
Shi Nianzhi was startled by his shout. His mind went blank, and he tightened his grip on the cup handle.
Then he lowered his head and said, "I don't know."
"What else do you know? All you do is annoy me. We've already got the marriage certificate, and you're saying you're not good enough for me, huh?"
Lu Jiunian grabbed Shi Nianzhi's wrist and pulled her forward sharply.
"Why----"
Before Shi Nianzhi could react, he watched as the hangover tea in his cup spilled out, soaking a large area of his trousers.
"I'm sorry! I'm so sorry!"
Shi Nianzhi quickly put the cup on the table, then bent down to pat the spot where Lu Jiunian had been burned.
This was a subconscious action.
He stopped taking pictures.
She bent down, looked up at the man sitting there with a stern face, and asked, "You're not burned, are you?"
Lu Jiunian's gaze swept over Shi Nianzhi's face, his eyes darkening slightly. "I don't know if it's burned, take a look."
Shi Nianzhi was at a loss, "What, how do we interpret this?"
"Take off your wet clothes and check if your skin is burned."
A man's serious voice.
Shi Nianzhi thought to herself that the cup of hangover tea was indeed quite hot, and Lu Jiunian probably wouldn't joke about it.
He probably didn't mean to take advantage of him!
So Shi Nianzhi bent down and knelt on the carpet. He lowered his head and stretched out his beautifully shaped hands. "Let me see."
