It's hard to quit, but it's the perfect marriage!

Zhu Xi didn't eat much for dinner and wasn't hungry.

Zhou Yinghuai gave most of the Japanese food that Master Bai delivered to the nurses' station and the doctors on duty.

Zhu Xi ate a little bit.

She doesn't like Japanese food; she has a strong Chinese stomach.

For this, Zhou Yinghuai even joked that he had gotten a great deal and had even picked the wrong horse.

He pinned her against the wall and kissed her for so long that Zhu Xi's lips went numb.

Zhu Xi also said that he should owe it to her first, and she would repay him with her body later.

-

Zhu Xi returned from her rounds at 12 o'clock.

He gently pushed open the door and was glanced at by Zhou Yinghuai, who had already changed into his pajamas.

That one glance made her heart flutter for no reason.

"You're back?"

"Um."

"What kind of conversation is this, between an old married couple?" Zhu Xi wondered.

Since last night, Zhou Yinghuai's lodgings have felt unusually natural.

He refused to leave, and she didn't try to get rid of him.

Zhu Xi took off her white coat and hung it on the coat rack by the door.

I squeezed some foam into my palm, rubbed it, and washed my hands thoroughly.

After washing my hands, I started brushing my teeth carefully.

She didn't have time to take a shower; she was too tired to even think about it.

While he was washing up, Zhou Yinghuai went out and took the trash and expired food from the refrigerator.

"I'm going to throw out the trash. Your pajamas are on the bedside table, remember to change."

Zhu Xi, who was brushing her teeth, glanced at the bed and saw a new T-shirt and shorts.

It must have been Zhou Yinghuai who bought it; she didn't recall ever buying this style online.

As Zhou Yinghuai passed by him, he smiled at her.

Zhu Xi's cheeks were puffed out, and her lips were covered in toothpaste foam.

Hearing his words, she opened her big, sleepy eyes, just like a child, and showed a strong curiosity about her new clothes.

"It's the kind of uniform you usually wear at the hospital," he explained, "so you can get to work on time in the middle of the night."

Zhu Xi blinked and spat out foam after he left.

She quickly changed her clothes and got into bed.

She was lying close to the edge, but when she realized there was a man in the dormitory, she crept back a little.

I leaned against the wall, found a more comfortable spot, and started playing on my phone, replying to messages.

Hoch's message is at the top.

Each message was nearly 60 seconds long, and more than a dozen were sent in succession.

Zhu Xi only clicked on one message, listened for ten seconds, and then turned it off.

Then switch pages to reply to other people's messages.

After listening to the voice message for a while, I switched back to reply to Huo Xi's message.

Zhu Xi: [Yeah, let's mess around with him!]

After posting one, I felt it wasn't serious enough.

Clearing her throat, she pressed the voice message button. "Honey, I'm on your side in the dorm. I think an old man like Lou Yanhui needs an angel like you to deal with him!"

Just then, Zhou Yinghuai pushed open the door and walked in.

As soon as I walked in, I said, "Turn on the bedside lamp, I'll turn it off first. Otherwise you'll complain that the light is too bright and you won't feel comfortable sleeping in it."

Zhou Yinghuai's sudden and unexpected remark was perfectly embedded in the voice message Zhu Xi sent to Huo Xi.

Let's have a happy and unexpected ending.

Hoch replied almost instantly.

Zhu Xi, acting like a complete idiot, actually clicked on the first WeChat message under Zhou Yinghuai's watchful gaze.

"Damn it, Zhu Xi, how come there are wild men in your nunnery?!"

Huo Xi roared with the force of thunder, "Girl, no matter how much you can't stand being alone, you can't bring someone to the dorm!"

"Bao'er, I don't ask you to uphold traditional virtues, I just want you to have the right to know."

"But you can't be foolish! Your shabby little temple isn't soundproof. If you don't perform well, it will affect your future as the abbot!"

Several voice messages came in succession, like dominoes, one falling and the rest collapsing.

"Congratulations! Congratulations!"

Hoch's last voice message was...

"My best friend, my best friend, if you just give me the right to know, the child can be mine!"

After listening to the last voice message, Zhou Yinghuai turned off the main light in the dormitory with a smile.

Zhu Xi's face, freshly washed, glowed with a rosy luster, appearing even more exquisite and translucent under the light of the bedside lamp.

She lightly licked her lips with the tip of her tongue and then blocked Huo Xi.

He then gave Zhou Yinghuai a wry smile, "Huo Xi was just joking."

Zhou Yinghuai leisurely busied himself in the dormitory, pacing back and forth.

Zhu Xi's gaze followed her upper body, and he seemed even busier than he was.

"We were just discussing the movie plot."

Zhou Yinghuai was shutting down his computer and didn't even look at her. "Hmm? What movie?"

Zhu Xi hadn't been to the cinema for almost two years, so how would she know what movies would be shown?

"It's about the relationship between best friends. The director is very good at filming. The language and camera work are very effective, the lines are profound, and the plot is full of twists and turns."

"I even shed a couple of tears," Zhu Xi sniffed. "Really."

Zhou Yinghuai gave an "oh," glanced at her, and leisurely walked to the refrigerator to take out a bottle of water. He then asked her seriously, "Would you like some water?"

Zhu Xi shook her head.

"Have some water. You've said so much and even shed a couple of tears. Let's have some water and go to sleep."

Zhu Xi: "Oh."

She sat up straight and drank some from Zhou Yinghuai's hand.

Zhou Yinghuai took a tissue to wipe away the cool water stains, and then took her water cup from the desk to his side.

After finishing his bedtime preparations, he patted her face and said, "Lie down and close your eyes."

As he spoke, he went to move the folding bed.

Zhu Xi tugged at the hem of his T-shirt and gently pulled it down.

Zhou Yinghuai turned around. "Hungry?"

Zhu Xi slowly shook her head, then carefully patted the not-so-spacious bed with her empty hands. "Come on up and sleep."

"You won't sleep well if we're all huddled together."

Zhu Xi shook her head again, "I sleep soundly with my head on your arm."

Zhou Yinghuai felt a warmth in his heart, and forced a smile as he sat down. "You really won't be able to sleep well."

Zhu Xi: "I have outpatient appointments tomorrow afternoon; I don't have any surgeries during the day."

Zhou Yinghuai misunderstood her meaning and immediately abandoned his intention to continue teasing her.

He put his arm around her shoulder seriously. "Sister Xi, the dorm isn't soundproof. Besides, there are no condoms in the dorm, and I don't want you to suffer."

Zhu Xiqing's eyes widened, and she said shyly, "Are you sick?!"

She brushed Zhou Yinghuai's hand away and lay down first.

The dormitory room only had a small bedside lamp on, so it wasn't very bright.

The lights were soft and gentle, and Zhou Yinghuai lay down as usual.

With a long outstretched arm, he pulled the person into his embrace.

Zhu Xi also got the hang of it, and as soon as she snuggled up, she found a comfortable position.

I rested my head on his arm and felt his pulse.

"You're the first man to lie on this bed." Zhu Xi tilted her head back, her skull gently brushing against Zhou Yinghuai's chin. "Oh, right, and my brother too."

Zhou Yinghuai bent down and kissed her forehead, feeling that something was off about what she said.

Sure enough, Zhu Xi couldn't be serious for more than a second.

"I haven't laughed like this in a long time before you came."

"Hmm?" Zhou Yinghuai continued the conversation, playing along with her joke. "You must have had a tough time before!"

Zhu Xi chuckled and adjusted her position in his arms.

Zhou Yinghuai kissed her lips again, then raised his hand to extinguish the only light source in the room.

"Go to sleep."

Zhu Xi closed her eyes contentedly and began to drift off to sleep.

Once Zhou Yinghuai had adjusted to the darkness of the room, he tried his best to banish Huo Xi's joking words from his mind.

Zhu Xi suddenly blurted out.

"Zhou Yinghuai, do you want to do it?"
