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

Chapter 145 "I'm not clean yet."

Zhou Yinghuai was stunned for a moment after being pushed, and began to wonder if he had been too serious and frightened her.

He was terrified on his way from the port city, and his heart was in his throat the whole way before he saw her safe and sound.

However, his expression remained instinctively serious, which was completely out of his control.

He was terrified when he heard Huo Xi crying and pleading with Lou Yan.

Lou Yanhui sat beside him, her mouth was incredibly sharp, but her words sounded like flirting.

Looking at his phone, which sat silently like a brick, Zhou Yinghuai felt an indescribable bitterness in his heart.

He took a deep breath and looked at Zhu Xi, who was clutching her left shoulder, thinking that he had bitten too hard.

"Does it hurt a lot?" Zhou Yinghuai asked, even though he hadn't used much force.

Zhu Xi frowned, not replying to him, but just staring at him intently.

They said they were looking, but they were actually asking questions.

Doubt, inquiry, and misunderstanding.

The pain in my left shoulder during the video call this morning is very similar to the pain in my right shoulder right now.

She is a doctor and can accurately describe pain.

This is a question that needs to be proven.

Pain in the right shoulder is equivalent to pain in the left shoulder.

If Zhou Yinghuai bit your right shoulder, it's the same as him biting your left shoulder as well.

The pain in my left shoulder only started last night.

That means Zhou Yinghuai last night.

This proves that Zhou Yinghuai, the ghost who stole his relatives, returned last night.

During the day, he would pretend to act with her in video calls.

Zhu Xi squinted, turning from passive defense to active attack.

"You came back last night?"

Zhou Yinghuai scratched his brow with his fingertip. He had married such a smart wife; she was truly lovable.

He nodded in agreement.

"Yes, I'm back."

Zhu Xi pursed her lips, stammering, "You, you..."

"How could you steal a kiss from me!" she cried, completely terrified.

Knowing she was a coward, Zhu Xi started arguing again, "You already stole a kiss, why only kiss the shoulder?"

She clearly has more wonderful places to kiss and touch.

It can even be more embarrassing.

Zhou Yinghuai hadn't expected her second half of the sentence. Faced with Zhu Xi's unconventional approach, he was always caught off guard and unable to extricate himself from it.

Zhu Xi turned her head to the right to look at the man standing opposite her, as reflected in the window.

Two days, two round trips between Gangcheng and Libei.

He traveled thousands of miles to share a bed with her, rescuing her from fire and water and from the mundane world.

Zhou Yinghuai stepped forward again, grasped her hand, and said, "I was questioned by the security guard downstairs for a long time as if I were a thief. When I walked into the house, I saw a drunk cat lying in the living room."

"The security guards are quite responsible." She grinned mischievously, but when she saw Zhou Yinghuai clench his teeth, her bright eyes instantly dimmed. "Oh."

Her obedience lasted only three seconds.

"So, you're only interested in the drunkard's shoulders," she chided, shaking her shoulders. "I'm incredibly attractive, and you only want to gnaw on chicken wings?"

With her unique and insightful thinking, Zhu Xi successfully dispelled the sense of loss that had accumulated on Zhou Yinghuai Road.

The drunkard, unaware of his hardship and forbearance the previous night, instead scolded him for not recognizing his worth.

Zhou Yinghuai smiled as he stared at the hair on her head, then lifted her chin with his right hand.

Eyes facing each other.

He leaned down and kissed her forehead, then whispered in her ear, "The chicken wings are delicious too."

As soon as she finished speaking, Zhu Xi's face turned bright red.

She buried herself in Zhou Yinghuai's arms, clutching the side of his shirt.

Zhou Yinghuai pulled her into his arms and kissed her hair with his cheek. "You're sleeping so soundly, I don't want to disturb you."

Zhu Xi nodded in his arms and said nothing more.

Zhou Yinghuai smiled again, "Leave the mess to Lou Yanhui, let's go home."

"Okay, let's go home."

Zhu Xi's voice was still muffled, but her tone did rise in a pleasant manner.

Zhou Yinghuai released her. "Can you walk?"

"Sure." Zhu Xi lifted her leg high, demonstrating her strength. "Zhou Yinghuai, I'm not injured."

Zhou Yinghuai's smiling eyes instantly turned serious, and his face became stern. "The hands of a surgeon are so precious. Zhu Xi, leave the head-opening procedure to Huo Xi."

Zhu Xi bit her lip, raising her eyebrows slightly. "Huo Xi is afraid too."

"The swallows return, unafraid."

"So you're afraid?"

"Yes, I'm scared." Zhou Yinghuai said earnestly, "Sister Xi, I'm very scared. I'm scared that it will affect your role as dean, and I'm scared that I won't be there when you need me the most."

"Didn't you send Lingyi?" She tiptoed and kissed his lips. "Lingyi is so cool!"

Zhou Yinghuai responded to her kiss with a light, fleeting one, saying, "Then I'm afraid too."

Zhu Xi felt a warmth in her heart. The water plants were already so lush that they were about to drop their seeds. "I understand. I won't be impulsive anymore."

Zhou Yinghuai took her hand and led her out, through the long, brightly lit corridor of the police station, into the courtyard, and into the car.

The man driving whistled and joked as he drove, "Flying to work, ugh!"

Zhu Xi didn't recognize the driver, so she glanced at Zhou Yinghuai beside her.

Zhou Yinghuai ignored the driver's words and raised the partition in the middle.

In the few seconds it took to slowly rise, the driver, Lanqi, said again, "Hey, I haven't given it to my sister-in-law yet..."

The greeting was swallowed up by the rising partition, but Zhu Xi still heard it.

She grabbed Zhou Yinghuai's wrist. "He is... Lan Qi?"

Zhou Yinghuai pulled her into his arms and patted her face with his other hand. "It's not important."

"Is he your brother-in-law?"

"Hmm," Zhou Yinghuai kissed her eyes, "So, it's not important."

Zhu Xi puffed out her cheeks and let out a long "oh".

This was the first time she had ever seen Zhou Yinghuai act so childishly.

The two leaned against each other, their fingers intertwined.

"Zhou Yinghuai, Huo Xi said that the events in Hong Kong are very important to you."

Zhou Yinghuai tightened his arms and pulled the person closer to him. "It's not important."

Zhu Xi nestled against his neck, her eyes crinkling with a smile, somewhat touched.

"Then what is important?" she asked, knowing the answer already.

"You're the most important!" Zhou Yinghuai pressed his forehead against hers, his thumb stroking her skin. "Go to the hospital under the Dazhou Group tomorrow for a full physical exam."

Zhu Xi sat up abruptly, for which Zhou Yinghuai yanked out a few strands of her hair.

"Zhou Yinghuai!"

Zhou Yinghuai sighed and pulled the agitated man into his arms again. "I'm not at ease without a physical exam. What if he's injured somewhere..."

Zhu Xi raised her hand and pinched his rambling mouth, manually muting his microphone. "I'm a doctor myself!"

Her almond-shaped eyes were filled with tears, concealing the source of her life force. Her red lips parted slightly as she protested, "I did get into a fight, but I knew my limits."

Zhu Xi wasn't foolish enough to risk his career.

Zhou Yinghuai only wanted to scare her so she wouldn't be so impulsive in the future.

When faced with injustice, she doesn't need to take action herself.

Hearing her say that, Zhou Yinghuai casually mentioned, "In the future, if I go to Qinhuaiyuan while I'm away on business or not, I'll send someone to follow you."

Before Zhu Xi could speak, he made the final decision: "Following from a distance won't affect your enjoyment of Qinhuaiyuan."

Zhu Xifei's bright eyes lost their luster. "Okay."

Zhou Yinghuai simply pulled her onto his lap; her waist was slender and soft, her shoulders delicate. "Sister Xi, please be considerate of me. Hmm?"

"Okay, I feel sorry for you."

Zhu Xi cupped his face in her hands, her starry eyes bright and her expression sincere and bold, "How about we go to Huanxisha tonight?"

Zhou Yinghuai: "I'm not completely clean yet."

Zhu Xi grinned mischievously, her supple waist slumping slightly, "Let's shower together."

"What a coincidence, I wasn't clean either."
