Chapter 214 Can We Do It Again?
Shen Jiheng smiled slightly upon hearing this: "Of course, I will stay by your side for the rest of my life and carry you on my back for the rest of my life."
"lifetime......"
Han Xi leaned on Shen Jiheng's shoulder, her voice trailing off, seemingly oblivious to whether she had actually understood him.
Shen Jiheng turned his head and pressed his face against hers. He really liked how they were interacting now.
As long as Han Xi stops resisting him, he is confident that he can make her fall in love with him again.
"Han Xi, I know I was a bastard in the past and caused a lot of harm to you and the child, but please believe me, everything will be alright."
The person on his shoulder didn't respond, so Shen Jiheng carried her slowly forward, looking for a nearby pharmacy.
Shen Jiheng asked again, "Han Xi, when you were drunk last time you said you fell in love with me back in college, was that true? You're usually so eloquent, why are you afraid to admit this?"
"I don't admit it!"
Han Xi stubbornly replied with two words, which amused and annoyed Shen Jiheng. He wondered if she was drunk or deliberately trying to provoke him.
“It’s okay if you don’t admit it, but I believe it’s true. I was really happy after hearing those words. It’s a pity I was blind back then and didn’t know how good you were. I missed so many years.”
If time could turn back, Shen Jiheng would definitely go back to the past, slap his confused self awake, and make himself see clearly who he truly loves.
Feeling a dampness on his neck, Shen Jiheng suddenly stopped and turned around to see Han Xi crying.
Shen Jiheng immediately became anxious and tried to comfort him, "Why are you crying? Are you feeling unwell?"
He looked around and saw a chair by the roadside, so he quickly put her down.
Shen Jiheng cupped her face in his hands and, seeing that Han Xi was still crying, felt sorry for her and wiped her tears away.
"Han Xi, are you alright? Is something hurting? I'll take you to the hospital."
Han Xi grabbed his hand and shook her head, saying sadly, "Shen Jiheng, do you think time can be turned back? If it can, then let's do it all over again, okay?"
Shen Jiheng's pupils dilated upon hearing this, and he looked at her incredulously.
"Han Xi, do you know what you're saying?"
Han Xi hugged his arm, tears welling in her eyes, and said, "If we could do it all over again, none of this hurt would have happened, right, Shen Jiheng? You won't hurt me again, will you?"
Shen Jiheng was heartbroken and pulled her into his arms, choking back tears as he said, "No, I promise it will never happen again, Han Xi, I'm sorry."
Shen Jiheng felt guilty. He was determined to seize any opportunity Han Xi could give him.
Han Xi cried and laughed at the same time, leaning against him and murmuring, "But time can't be turned back, and I won't love you as unconditionally as I used to..."
Although Han Xi's voice was very soft, it resonated in Shen Jiheng's heart like a bell or drum, causing him to ache with each beat.
"sorry!"
Now, besides these three words, he doesn't know what else to say to soothe Han Xi's wounded heart.
She thought that the recent harmonious relationship between the two of them had made her forget the hurt from the past, but she didn't expect that it was still buried deep in her heart.
Shen Jiheng would try any method that could make her forget.
Han Xi leaned against him without making a sound. Shen Jiheng saw that she was asleep, and tenderly stroked her face, gently kissed her forehead, and carried her forward.
Back at the Gu family home, Gu Beichen couldn't help but run up to her and say, "I heard from the driver that you carried her all the way back. I've never seen you go to the gym before. Your arm strength is impressive."
Shen Jiheng glanced at him, not in the mood for jokes.
"What happened? Did something unpleasant happen? You helped her solve a big problem this time, and the Gu family looks at you with new respect. I believe Han Xi is also grateful to you."
"You know that's not what I want, and could you please stop following me?"
Shen Jiheng followed behind me from the moment I entered, which was annoying.
But Gu Beichen still didn't leave. He followed Han Xi back to her room and even stood in front of him while he fetched water to wash Han Xi's face.
Shen Jiheng rolled his eyes at him, and Gu Beichen then shamelessly smiled and said, "Jiheng, for the sake of our brotherhood, I have a tricky matter I'd like to ask you for advice on."
Helpless, Shen Jiheng had no choice but to put down his things and go out with him.
"Tell me quickly, I still need to take care of Han Xi."
Gu Beichen looked around to make sure no one was watching, then asked in a low voice, "I just want to know what your secret is to having twins."
Shen Jiheng: "......"
Shen Jiheng sent a message to someone who seemed to know something about this kind of secret technique, seriously suspecting that Gu Beichen had lost his mind.
Gu Beichen said awkwardly, "Forget it, this question is a bit difficult. Let's try another one. Is there any way to get Qianqian pregnant?"
Shen Jiheng stared at him as if he were an idiot, wondering how he could have been brothers with such a person for more than ten years.
"Don't look at me like that. I've tried many methods, but Qianqian is too smart. Although she accepted my proposal, she refuses to have children. That's why I had no choice but to ask you for advice!"
Shen Jiheng rolled his eyes at him and said, "If she still doesn't do anything even after you've done something, then she must be secretly taking medication. You just need to search her house."
What if I flip it over?
Gu Beichen's eyes revealed a clear stupidity, which prompted Shen Jiheng to tap him on the head.
"Are you an idiot? Just replace those pills with vitamins, and poke a few more holes in the condoms. I guarantee you'll see results in a month."
Upon hearing this, Gu Beichen gave him a thumbs up and couldn't help but praise, "You really are a master, even thinking of these underhanded tricks."
Shen Jiheng slapped him on the head and made him fall down.
"Is that how you praise someone?"
"I was wrong, I'll take care of it right away. I'll come back to thank you for your great kindness after I have a child."
Shen Jiheng sighed and kindly reminded her, "But don't be too happy yet. Since she doesn't want children, even if she is pregnant, she may not agree to give birth."
These words were like a bucket of cold water poured on Gu Beichen's heart, extinguishing the flames that had been burning.
“You’re right. What should I do? But I also want to be a father.”
It was fine in the past, but ever since Han Xi's child came back and called him "Dad," Gu Beichen has felt unsatisfied and dreams of having his own child.
Shen Jiheng patted him on the shoulder and said, "The one who tied the knot must untie it. If you figure out why she really doesn't like children, you might still be able to salvage the situation."
Gu Beichen nodded dejectedly, then became excited again as if he had been injected with adrenaline, saying, "In short, let's get her pregnant first, and then I'll think of other ways."
Shen Jiheng's words were wasted. He gave him a "you'd better watch yourself" look and went back to his room to take care of Han Xi, not wanting to pay any attention to this energetic young man.
When Shen Jiheng returned to Han Xi's room, he saw that her blanket had fallen to the floor again and her collar was open. He went over to help her put on her clothes and then covered her with the blanket again.
"Han Xi, I will definitely make up for what I've lost, and I will never let you regret falling in love with me."
Han Xi felt hot and threw off the blanket. She reached out to take off her clothes but was grabbed by Shen Jiheng. It seemed that he really had to clear his mind tonight in order to take care of her.
