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

Zhu Xi was always adept at playing games with Du Zhou Yinghuai.

"But before I bring you in," she paused deliberately, her eyes like spring water, "I'd like to offer to shave you."

Zhou Yinghuai never expected that she would be so persistent in helping him shave.

After she enjoyed taking his pulse, she developed a new hobby.

You could also call it a hobby.

"You'll be late." He wished her understanding; yesterday morning, Zhu Xi had helped him shave, which took an hour.

That one clock strike was both a pleasure and an ordeal.

Pain and happiness.

Zhou Yinghuai felt this deeply.

I'd like to experience it again, but Zhu Xi has important responsibilities today.

She has to go to the hospital today; she has two more surgeries scheduled.

Zhou Yinghuai pulled the person into his arms, "Sweetie, let's go eat breakfast first."

"I'm not hungry," Zhu Xi said stubbornly, her words reaching Zhou Yinghuai's ears along with the rumbling of her stomach.

Yesterday, after returning from the villa, the two of them took a detour to the food street near the university town.

Zhu Xi looked like she had eaten quite a lot, but it was all food with no nutritional value.

"You didn't eat much for dinner, aren't you hungry?" His smile was hard to decipher, as if he were both expectant and restrained. "Sister Xi, I can't let you have fun on an empty stomach."

Zhu Xi's vision went black for a moment, and he belatedly realized that he had misunderstood.

It's completely off track, and it still smells strongly of meat.

"Get out of here!" Zhu Xi punched his chest. Her good intentions had been misinterpreted by him as a deliberate attempt to have fun.

Zhou Yinghuai took several blows from her, but it didn't hurt much; instead, it made him even more aroused.

"Wife, am I overthinking this?" He switched roles again, and the word "wife" confirmed their legal relationship.

Zhu Xi spat at him, "You're the one who's stupid!"

She even wanted to tell Zhou Yinghuai that in matters of seeking pleasure, sometimes it's better not to deal with them at all.

Zhu Xi snorted and told him to leave, "I'm leaving right away. Pack up your breakfast and I'll take it to the hospital to eat."

"Really?" Zhou Yinghuai was hoping to have breakfast with her; it was a rare and precious morning. "Have pity on me, will you?"

Zhu Xi: "Every pitiful person has something hateful about them."

She was outside, her voice sweet and coquettish, "Brother, do you want to become a hateful person?"

"Oh." Zhou Yinghuai was at a loss. "I'll go pack it up."

He left the bathroom, but returned less than half a minute later.

She carried two similar sets of clothes in each hand, one on the left and one on the right.

Linen material.

White shirt, black trousers.

White T-shirt, black wide-leg pants.

"Wearing this today?"

Zhu Xi was defeated by his naiveté, "Fine."

Once you enter a hospital, it's like entering a deep sea; once you put on a white coat, who cares what you're wearing underneath?

Zhou Yinghuai liked it, and she was willing to grant his wish.

-

The driver was changed this morning.

The two sat in the back row, and Zhu Xi took a bite of her sandwich.

Zhou Yinghuai wasn't hungry, so he waited until she started eating before turning on his tablet to handle official business.

Traffic is always heavy during the morning rush hour, and it takes longer than usual to travel a short distance.

After Zhu Xi finished her breakfast, Zhou Yinghuai, who had been busy, handed her a tissue.

This is just the right thing to do, providing timely help.

Zhu Xi took it, raised an eyebrow, and said, "Zhou Yinghuai, I really want to tear open your heart and see what's inside."

Zhou Yinghuai glanced sideways. "No need to look, your name must be engraved on it."

"No." She pursed her lips and moved closer to him. "Whether my name is there or not is unimportant."

Zhou Yinghuai touched the corner of her lips with his fingertip, "Hmm?"

"I want to see what a heart with seven orifices and exquisite details looks like."

Zhou Yinghuai smiled, leaned down and pressed his lips to hers, "I want to see too."

Zhu Xi leaned on his shoulder, her voice trailing off, "What do you want to see? Even if you can't get it out of your eyes, it's still mine."

She misunderstood too.

Realizing this, Zhou Yinghuai whispered in her ear, "Sister Xi, I just wanted to see your accelerated heartbeat, that's all."

The two exchanged blows and were temporarily tied.

Soon, we arrived at the hospital.

The car was parked downstairs in the inpatient building as usual.

Zhu Xi got out of the car first.

Zhou Yinghuai carried the snacks he had prepared for her that morning, and like sending a child to school, he instructed, "Eat something if you're hungry, I'll bring you dinner."

Zhu Xi puffed out her cheeks, put her hands behind her back, and twisted her shoulders.

"Remember to put the fruit in the refrigerator. This batch of strawberries wasn't very sweet, so I didn't bring any for you." As he spoke, Zhou Yinghuai opened a corner of the food bag. "The pink lid is for sandwiches. I added extra seaweed flakes. Give it to Lezhi Shi."

Zhu Xi looked up at the sound of the voice, "Le Zhishi?"

Zhou Yinghuai cupped her face in one hand; there weren't many people passing by at the moment.

He leaned down and kissed her plump, moist lips.

The attempt to separate them by skimming the water failed, and Zhu Xi slightly parted her lips to ease the subtle anxiety of being apart all day.

The long kiss ended in the morning glow, Zhu Xi's red lips glistening, her eyes smiling.

Taking her food bag, like a traveler about to embark on a long journey, he said, "Alright, go back now. Even after a thousand miles of farewell, we must part ways."

Zhou Yinghuai: "?"

Zhu Xi turned around and quickly walked up the steps.

She turned around in the bright, dazzling light, her hair flying and shimmering like golden scales.

Her empty right hand traced a long parabola in the golden light and shadow, and her outstretched palm turned into a fist at her heart.

Then slowly raise it to your lips.

With a gentle breath, she blew on her lips, which had been kissed many times by the man below the steps, and said with a smile, "Zhou Yinghuai, I present you with a beauty's heart."

Zhou Yinghuai accepted the order steadily, clenching his fist and pressing it against his heart.

Their eyes met.

Zhu Xi smiled brightly, her eyes relaxed, and said, "Bye-bye, husband."

-

Neurosurgery.

Zhu Xi obediently gave the sandwich with seaweed flakes to Le Zhi Shi.

"Give me the money!"

Lezhi only slept for three hours all night and is now exhausted and hungry.

"Your patient had a second hemorrhage in the middle of the night, and Dr. Huang and I were busy until dawn." Le Zhishi had lost his usual fierce demeanor and didn't forget to explain to Zhu Xi, "This sandwich isn't what I wanted."

Zhu Xi crossed her arms and said, "My brother wants it? He lives too far away to eat it. If you eat it, it's the same as him eating it."

When the congratulations were mentioned, a sweet blush appeared on Lezhi's tired face.

"I did mention to him that I wanted some seaweed flakes, but I didn't expect..."

Before Lezhi could finish speaking, Zhu Xi had already taken two bottles of Red Bull from her and left gracefully.

"Hey, Zhu Xi!" Le Zhishi jumped up again, "I haven't finished speaking yet."

Zhu Xi didn't even turn her head. "My brother has loved feeding cats since he was a child."

Lezhi Shi: "Congratulations!!!"

"Stop right there!"

Zhu Xi glanced back once and said, "The leg is mine. You're not even married into the family yet, so your decision doesn't count."

Lezhi Shi: "......."

"I'll be a member of their family sooner or later!"

-

Morning rounds concluded.

Zhu Xi is preparing for today's surgery.

The money from the swiping still allowed him to call Zhu He.

After Zhuhe left the country without saying goodbye, the brother and sister had little contact.

The WeChat chat content is now back and forth, unlike the frequency of previous chats.

Zhu Xi scrolled up to see her chat history with Zhu He.

Suddenly I realized a very serious problem.

It seems that ever since Zhou Yinghuai went to Zhu He, she has never reported to him in detail about anything again.

Even among the chats that have become much less frequent, Zhou Yinghuai still makes up the majority.
