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

Chapter 31 "I carried you here."

Zhu Xi raised an eyebrow and glanced at the sleeping Zhou Yinghuai.

Two words were repeating in my mind.

"Ah Huai."

She smiled, smacked her lips, and murmured, "Ah Xi."

After saying that, he felt disgusted with himself, shook his body, and got two pounds of goosebumps off.

Her own phone was still playing music, and the other end of the phone cable was still hanging on Zhou Yinghuai's ear.

Zhu Xi unconsciously turned Zhou Yinghuai's phone, hesitated for two seconds, and then placed the phone next to him.

Then, they tiptoed to the edge of the cool pool.

After being promoted to chief resident, Zhu Xi was busy all day long. On her precious days of rest, she mostly caught up on sleep and rarely came here anymore.

Zhu Xi is a very self-sufficient person. When she is busy, depressed, or unhappy, she always finds her own way to cope.

Coming here is one of the most frequent activities.

Zhu Xi sat by the pool with his knees drawn up to his chest, his right hand supporting his chin, and his left hand casually tossing stones into the pool.

A small stone falls into a bottomless pool, and the ripples that start up quickly subside.

She turned around and glanced at Zhou Yinghuai. "You said you weren't sleepy, but you're sleeping soundly."

The two weren't standing very close, yet Zhu Xi was still captivated by Zhou Yinghuai even with just a casual glance.

Zhou Yinghuai, a man of exceptional talent and elegance, is a figure who inspires awe even in his sleep.

Zhu Xi was secretly delighted and instantly became smug.

-

Zhu Xi sat quietly by the pond, trying to meditate and clear her mind.

She had just sat cross-legged, her hands resting on her knees, her fingers curled into a delicate, orchid-like gesture.

Unexpectedly, as soon as I closed my eyes, I was confronted with the patient after the craniotomy and a flurry of surgical instructions.

She clicked her tongue, unable to help but regret that she should have studied psychology in the first place.

Being a psychologist is a lucrative and easy job.

Unlike now, I'm working like a slave in neurosurgery.

He plunged into the hospital and from then on, he didn't distinguish between day and night.

Zhu Xi thought about it and reviewed the three major surgeries that lasted for eight hours.

After the patient in her mind was wheeled into the ICU, she got up with a self-deprecating laugh and walked around the cave.

As it passed by the sleeping Zhou Yinghuai, it even sketched his model-like outline from a distance.

Once her wild thoughts subsided, Zhu Xi returned to the pond.

With her cheek resting against her knee, she stared at the long-calm water, her clear eyes slightly closed.

The bright sunlight seemed to shrink, and the cave felt as if years had passed.

Escape the hustle and bustle of the city, the newlyweds slept together here for the first time.

When Zhu Xi opened her eyes again, the tilted stone became her temporary bed.

In the dim light, she first saw a broad, slightly wrinkled patch of white.

From this angle, Zhu Xi could not see Zhou Yinghuai's complete face.

The faint light from his phone on his cheek made it impossible to tell what he was doing.

Zhu Xi's vision gradually cleared, moving from near to far, her gaze slowly shifting upwards from the slightly wrinkled hem of his shirt.

Broad back and strong back muscles.

Having seen many people's bodies, Zhu Xi was certain that Zhou Yinghuai's back was perfect, so perfect that one could have cupping done on it, or even sit on it and swing.

She peeked at the man, whose good temper matched his good looks, and for a moment forgot to look away.

Zhou Yinghuai subconsciously turned around and met her bright eyes, which she was admiring.

Their eyes met, and they remained silent.

Zhu Xi smiled first.

Zhou Yinghuai locked his phone, turned slightly towards her, and opened a bottle of water for her. "Awake?"

Zhu Xi nodded, only then noticing the abnormality beneath her.

She sat up, and the suit jacket covering her slipped down to her ankles.

Even though it was already far from the nasal cavity, Zhou Yinghuai's unique scent became even stronger.

"How did I get here?" Her palms didn't touch the roughness of the stone; her gaze fell on the stone where she had sat alone before going to sleep.

"I carried you here," Zhou Yinghuai replied simply.

He slept for less than three hours, and when he opened his eyes, the first thing he saw was a white mass in the distance.

Zhou Yinghuai instantly regained consciousness.

He paused the music playing on Zhu Xi's phone.

In the light and shadow that diffused at the cave entrance, two half-sized packages could be seen.

The room was furnished with soft cushions, a cashmere blanket, water, and other necessities.

The Zhou family's driver was well-mannered, which didn't surprise Zhou Yinghuai.

To his surprise, the girl's protection was just right, and her approach was not abrupt.

At this moment, Zhou Yinghuai's understanding of Zhu Xi became even more vivid.

Zhou Yinghuai gave her a light touch, and was also smiling.

Afraid of startling her by saying too much at once, I lowered my voice and asked softly, "Want some water first? Hmm?"

Zhu Xi pouted, "I want something cold."

Zhou Yinghuai replaced it with a slightly chilled bottle and opened it for her.

Zhu Xi was overjoyed, her toes touching each other.

She took a sip of water to moisten her eyes, then glanced into the darkness of the cave entrance. "What time is it?"

Zhou Yinghuai: "It's almost 6 o'clock."

Zhu Xi's eyes welled up with tears, and she was startled for a moment.

Clearly, they hadn't expected to spend so much time together in that cave.

Zhou Yinghuai gently placed the object that had fallen on his shoulder behind him, gladly accepting Dr. Zhu's method of natural healing, and generously praising it, "It's a good place."

Zhu Xi looked up, smiling broadly, and complimented him, "Mr. Zhou is also a good person."

The two flattered and praised each other.

He praised her to let her know that he had slept very well.

She praised him for the food and water that suddenly appeared, and for the blanket that gave her a peaceful night's sleep.

Zhou Yinghuai stepped back a little, and the distance between the two widened again.

Seeing that she was conscious, he took the opportunity to answer her earlier question, "The drivers at home are all trained, they are perceptive and know their place."

He paused, then became serious. "It's not safe for you to sleep by the pond."

Zhu Xi held the bottle and smiled nonchalantly, "I'll be more careful next time."

Seeing that she stopped drinking water, Zhou Yinghuai took the water from her hand and tightened the cap, then indulgently and persuadingly asked, "Do you want to have a picnic here? We have all the camping gear ready."

Zhu Xi was stunned.

"A picnic?" Her laughter was a little loud. "Brother, are you from the last century?"

Zhou Yinghuai: "..."

Do you think I'm old?

Zhu Xi puffed out her cheeks, "No, I was just praising you. I was praising you as Doraemon's pocket."

She had to thank Zhou Yinghuai for letting her truly experience the power of money once again!

It's true, money makes the world go round.

No, money makes the world go round.

Her bright black eyes darted around as she looked at her surroundings, and she said with a mischievous grin, "I'm really grateful that you capitalists didn't develop this place."

After several encounters, Zhou Yinghuai had become accustomed to her casual jokes, big and small.

Now, he has a rough idea of ​​her unspoken message.

Zhou Yinghuai stood up, reached out to her with his palm facing up, and beckoned her with his finger, "If you don't want to camp, then leave. I'll take you back now so you can get another good night's sleep."

Zhu Xi didn't move; she just hugged her legs, tilted her little face up, and stared at him without moving.

Actually, she couldn't see Zhou Yinghuai's face clearly, let alone his expression.

Is he calm and composed, or does he show slight dislike for her, or is his anger growing?

But she just didn't want to move.

She did it on purpose.

on purpose.

Waiting.

We're waiting to see if Zhou Yinghuai will back down.

Sure enough, as expected.

The standoff lasted less than a second before Zhou Yinghuai reappeared in her line of sight, at eye level.

Still good-tempered and patient, her voice gentle, she asked, "What's wrong?"

Zhu Xi saw the depth in his eyes. "I saw that A-Xing sent you a message."

"Zhou Yinghuai, she's landed."
