Chapter 28 Let's have a baby
When they fell, Zhou Linjin himself was also seriously injured, but he was still able to hold on, so he let Chen Lianxiu rest and sleep for a while, and he would stay with her.
But gradually, Zhou Linjin discovered that something was wrong with Chen Lianxiu.
The two of them were almost pressed together. Through their wet clothes, he could feel Chen Lianxiu's body gradually getting hot. Not long after, she began to shiver in her sleep.
Such heavy rain, especially in the middle of the night, was unbearable even for him, let alone her.
Zhou Linjin didn't know whether it was right to wake her up, but his intuition told him that if he didn't wake her up, she might never wake up.
So he began to call her nickname over and over again.
Fortunately, she was woken up.
At this time, the rain had gradually subsided and was almost about to stop. Zhou Linjin's thin undershirt was half dry. He first pushed her against his chest, trying to warm her with his own warmth.
Although Chen Lianxiu had woken up, she was still drowsy and subconsciously snuggled into his arms.
Zhou Linjin heard the sound of her upper teeth hitting her lower teeth as she trembled.
In the inky black night, Zhou Linjin's brows were tightly furrowed.
He helped Shen Lianxiu up slightly. Shen Lianxiu asked, "What are you doing?" Zhou Linjin did not answer, but just took off her clothes without saying a word.
To say that it is a rip-off is not an exaggeration at all.
Zhou Linjin couldn't see that her clothes were soaked again, and it was difficult to take them off smoothly. She could only half-pull and half-tug at them.
Zhou Linjin didn't breathe a sigh of relief until he touched her smooth and fair skin, and then he stopped.
Then, he quickly took off his half-dry undershirt and wrapped it around Shen Lianxiu. Fortunately, his clothes were much larger for her. Even though he couldn't fit her comfortably, it was more than enough to cover her upper body.
Only then did he help her lie on top of him and sleep soundly again.
At this time, his upper body was naked, but he still held her in his arms and hugged her tightly.
This way, she can be warmer and more comfortable.
Even though Shen Lianxiu was fuzzy, she had already felt his movements. Probably feeling comfortable, she rubbed his chest twice and murmured, "Erlang..."
Zhou Linjin's heart softened.
"Ayuan, don't fall asleep," he whispered to her in a low voice, as if rubbing her ears, "Let's talk, talk to me!"
He felt the person in his arms nod.
"Didn't you ask me during the day what wish I made in front of the Buddha? Do you still want to know now?" He led her to speak again.
Chen Lianxiu also knew that Zhou Linjin wanted her to cheer up, so she reluctantly said, "What is it? Didn't you say that it won't work if you say it out loud?"
"It's okay. Zhu'er also said that it doesn't matter. I was just teasing you about whether it works or not." Zhou Linjin said, "I originally wanted to make a wish for my eyes to be restored soon, but I thought about it and changed it to something more important."
Hearing this, Shen Lianxiu chuckled.
"I pray to the Buddha to let Yuan and I be together forever and never be apart."
Chen Lianxiu bit her lower lip lightly. Perhaps because he kept talking to her, her mind was much clearer than when she first woke up. "Did you also call Ah Yuan in front of the Buddha?"
"Of course." Zhou Linjin was injured after all, and he couldn't help coughing a few times after saying so many words.
Chen Lianxiu waited until he finished coughing before saying, "Then I'll tell you what wish I made in front of the Buddha." "It doesn't matter if you didn't wish for your eyesight to be restored, because I already made it for you."
I didn't ask the Buddha to protect my identity from being exposed, but I asked him to restore your sight.
She silently added the second half of the sentence in her heart.
After a long silence, Chen Lianxiu felt a slight tingling sensation on the side of her face. She closed her eyes but did not fall asleep, just feeling it quietly.
Zhou Linjin's kiss gradually intensified, from the initial light pecks, all the way to her neck, and then the long sucking.
After a long time, he finally stopped panting.
"The first time I met you was in Shouzhou," Zhou Linjin's voice was a little hoarse as he slowly told her, "At that time, I was frustrated in the investigation of disaster relief funds. I was very angry and disappointed. When I went to patrol the streets, I happened to see you handing out porridge on the street. There were so many disaster victims waiting, but you didn't look impatient at all. Instead, you carefully scooped up bowls of porridge for them one by one."
"I know that wealthy families everywhere are like this. When faced with such a situation, in order to accumulate virtue and gain a good reputation, most of them will send their families to the streets to donate alms. But when I saw you, my heart was filled with joy. The impetuous heart that had been restless due to the difficulties in official work in recent days was also soothed. I think this is probably love."
Chen Lianxiu's heart felt like a small wound, a little sour, but she refused to let it get bigger. She quickly forced it shut and said, "Yes, I gave away porridge on the street for several days at that time."
Unfortunately, Zhou Linjin didn't see her that day.
He never saw her from beginning to end.
"If one day, I look different from the one you remember," Shen Lianxiu choked up, but continued to ask, "Will you still like me?"
Zhou Linjin buried his head in her neck and answered without hesitation: "No matter what you become in the future, I will always love you as much as I do now."
“At this moment…” Shen Lianxiu was stunned for a moment.
A small sprout seemed to be tremblingly growing out of the broken hole.
The person he knew at first was not her, but at least at this moment, he admitted that the person he loved was her.
At least, he did have a little bit of love for her.
She asked again, "Really?"
"After we go back, let's have a baby," Zhou Linjin said softly, as if to coax her, "Zhu'er said she wanted a sister, so let's have a daughter first, okay?"
Chen Lianxiu's face was burning hot, not sure if it was from a fever or something. She was afraid that Zhou Linjin, who was leaning against her neck, would notice it, so she turned her head away. However, this only attracted more of his attention, so he pressed her head back lightly.
"Answer me," he said.
"It's not up to us to decide whether to have a boy or a girl..." Chen Lianxiu said in a whisper, "Let's talk about it when we get back..."
"Will you bear me a child?"
Chen Lianxiu couldn't say anything no matter what. She twisted as if trying to break free from his arms, but she was weak all over due to the fever, and her body felt limp as if she was scratching an itch.
"You..." She was furious.
"You just asked me if what I said was true," Zhou Linjin suddenly became serious again, "If I lied, I will never be able to find you."
"Let's... just keep walking like this, for the rest of our lives. Even if I never see you again, as long as you're here, it doesn't seem to matter."
I don't know when the sky had risen above the horizon, the night rain finally stopped completely, and the chirping of birds came from the woods, as if they had returned to the world from purgatory.
Chen Lianxiu was finally able to see his face clearly in the dim morning light. Even though he looked so flustered and embarrassed, he was still handsome and clear, like a jade tree in the courtyard. She stopped talking and just snuggled up to him even tighter.
Finally made it through the night.
When the sky brightened and the sun shone into the bottom of the pit, many noises finally came from outside.
Zhou Linjin listened carefully for a while and recognized Bing's voice, so the two of them shouted a few times upwards. The people outside were paying attention and soon heard their cry for help, and immediately started to find a way to get them up.
At this time, Chen Lianxiu had recovered some strength. She patted Zhou Linjin's hand lightly, and Zhou Linjin let her go.
Chen Lianxiu got up from him and picked up Zhou Linjin's coat from the ground, but saw that Zhou Linjin didn't move at all. Chen Lianxiu thought he was waiting for her to take off his undershirt. Just as she was about to take it off, she heard Zhou Linjin say to her, "A Yuan, come and put it on for me. I... my chest hurts and I can't move."
Hearing this, Shen Lianxiu was startled. Her first reaction was that she had leaned on him for too long. Then she thought that Zhou Linjin must have been injured when he fell, and he had hugged her for so long last night, which must have made the situation worse.
She hurried over to check, only to see a large area of redness, swelling, and purple bruises on Zhou Linjin's fair and well-muscled chest. Chen Lianxiu was afraid that his ribs were injured, so she didn't dare to touch him, but just carefully wrapped him in clothes.
When she was getting dressed, she saw his back, which was also bruised. Shen Lianxiu was anxious and distressed, and could not help complaining: "Even in this state, you still want to hold me..."
"What should we do? Let you faint in the rain?" Zhou Linjin coughed a few times. He didn't feel any pain in his body last night because of the critical situation, but now he could feel it. Coughing affected the injured area, and he covered his chest for a long time and couldn't speak.
Fortunately, people from the Duke Cheng's Mansion and the government came down and rescued them both very quickly. Zhou Linjin's injuries were serious, so it naturally took some effort, but fortunately they were successful.
Chen Lianxiu was still running a fever. Although she was worried about Zhou Linjin, she could hardly hold on and fell asleep in the carriage on the way back.
When I woke up, it was dark again.
Chen Lianxiu still felt pain and fatigue in his body, but his spirits had improved a lot and he felt hungry.
She was helped up and sat on the couch. After washing up, Nanny Lou brought her some porridge and side dishes.
When Chen Lianxiu saw Madam Lou, she hurriedly asked, "Is my husband okay? Why isn't Madam Lou with him?"
Hearing this, Madam Lou smiled and said, "The doctor has already examined my husband. His injuries are not serious. Madam, there is no need to worry too much. You should take care of yourself first and recover peacefully. As for Cheng Lanjiang, he has been arrested by the government and will not harm our family again."
Chen Lianxiu felt a little relieved. Nanny Lou was the managing nanny of Zhuoxinzhai. She had taken care of Zhou Linjin since he was a child and was even closer to him than Zhou Linjin's own wet nurse. If Zhou Linjin was really seriously injured, she would never show up here.
Seeing Chen Lianxiu's brows relax and she lowered her head to eat seriously, Nanny Lou sighed inwardly.
Although Zhou Linjin's life was not in danger, he was seriously injured after falling from such a high place. After hearing the news, Yang rushed back from the villa with Zhou Yishao. She was now guarding the still unconscious Zhou Linjin and refused to leave.
And it was Yang who asked her to come here to look after Shen Lianxiu.
Zhou Linjin was injured so badly, but Shen Lianxiu just had a fever from being caught in the rain. It was obvious that Zhou Linjin protected her. Zhou Linjin even let her lie on his already injured chest, which made her injuries worse. Yang was an experienced person. She used to think that Zhou Linjin only cared about her good looks, but now she can see that Zhou Linjin is deeply in love with her.
As for her son's beloved, Yang naturally couldn't let anything happen to Shen Lianxiu, lest Zhou Linjin blame her or even be dissatisfied after waking up, so she quickly asked Nanny Lou to come and take care of her.
After finishing the meal and taking the medicine, Nanny Lou let Shen Lianxiu continue to sleep and recuperate, while she slept on the soft couch beside her.
Soon the night grew deeper. Although the Chengguo Mansion was in chaos for a while, it gradually calmed down. Fortunately, nothing serious happened to Zhou Linjin and his wife.
However, at the Shen family's other side, the tightly closed door was knocked loudly.
