Chapter 114 They Won’t Agree
Chu Yue smiled without saying a word, pulling him down and kissing him. Zhou Xingzhi hunched his back, took off his suit jacket, and half-knelt on the sofa with his slender thighs. His bony hands moved from Chu Yue's shoulders to the back of her neck.
When the thin calluses on her fingers touched her skin, Chu Yue couldn't help but stretch them upwards, making a coquettish sound.
"It's cold here, can you go to bed?" Zhou Xingzhi let go of her lips and whispered in her ear.
"You're sick...and you haven't recovered yet." Chu Yue always felt that there was something else to do, but he coaxed her into forgetting everything.
"It will be fine in a while." His voice was low and rough, not knowing whether it was due to the high fever or the desire. When he saw the ring on her ring finger, he was in a very good mood.
Seeing that he had taken off his coat, she stood up, worried that he was cold. Zhou Xingzhi picked her up, put her on the bed, took off her coat, touched the zipper at her waist, unzipped it skillfully, and kissed her neck.
Chu Yue suddenly realized what he meant by physical cooling, and her ears began to redden. She unbuttoned his shirt and touched the belt around his waist...
At the end, probably because the air conditioning temperature was set a little high, Zhou Xingzhi had beads of sweat on his forehead. He didn't know if it was because of the medicine or if he was really tired, but he lay down and wanted to sleep.
Chu Yue was also tired and thirsty. He picked up his watch on the bedside table and looked at it. It was a little after eleven o'clock.
He moved his body and stretched out his white arms to pick up the coat from the ground.
"Where are you going?" Zhou Xingzhi bent his arm and pulled her back into his embrace, rubbing her hair, which was thin and soft. His other hand circled her slender waist.
"Drink some water, you go to sleep, I'll take a shower."
"I want to drink too." He said that, but he refused to let go.
"Go to sleep, I'll pour it for you." Chu Yue quietly put her legs down again.
"Hmm. You smell so good." Zhou Xingzhi lowered his head and took a deep sniff at her neck, then reluctantly let go.
Chu Yue wrapped her coat tightly around her and got out of bed to drink some water. It seemed like falling in love and getting married was going too smoothly.
The emerald diamond on her hand sparkled, and the two rings were intertwined, with countless small diamonds around them, connecting the rings tightly.
"Would you like some water?" Chu Yue poured the water from the thermos into the lid and asked him to get up and drink.
Zhou Xingzhi was worried that she would look at her phone while pouring water, so he was relieved when he heard the sound.
I turned on the bedside lamp and took out a tissue to wipe his forehead. "Let me get you some hot towels to wipe your face."
"Go to bed first." He put the cup on the bedside table and held her back to prevent her from leaving.
"You go to sleep, I'm going to take a shower." Chu Yue wanted to break free and comfort him to go back to sleep.
"I can't sleep when you're not around." Zhou Xingzhi hugged her waist and buried his head in her.
"Okay, I'm here. Lie down quickly and don't catch a cold." Chu Yue scratched his hair and patted his back.
The person in my arms didn't make a sound for a long time, but he didn't fall asleep either, and moved from time to time.
"Okay, I'm not going anywhere. Just get some sleep, okay?"
He finally let go and moved his body to make room for her.
Chu Yue unbuttoned her coat and climbed onto the bed. She knew it was her emotional cleanliness at work. In his arms, looking at his straight nose, thick eyebrows, and slightly thin upper lip, she couldn't tell any emotion.
"Zhou Xingzhi, I like you."
"Yeah." He responded subconsciously and hugged the person tighter.
Chu Yue slept until 10:30 the next day. After getting up and washing up, she kept looking for her phone. Zhou Xingzhi was still sleeping, his fever having subsided.
I couldn’t find my cell phone, so I had to use the hotel’s landline to call the front desk to have the food delivered.
After hanging up the phone, Zhou Xingzhi had already woken up.
"Why don't you wake me up?" He lay in bed, unwilling to get up.
Chu Yue got up and went to the second floor to find a hair dryer to blow dry her hair. The air conditioner had been blowing too much and her skin was dry. She also had to apply a facial mask later.
"You sleep a little longer while I blow-dry your hair and make a facial mask. I'll call you when the hotel delivers food."
He sat up, shook his head, put on his pajamas from the bedside table, and went to the bathroom to take a shower.
"By the way, where did you put my cell phone? I couldn't find it after searching for a long time, and I still want to call Yingying!" The sound of water and music coming from the bathroom drowned out her question.
After the hotel waiter brought the meal, Chu Yue took the thermos to the front desk to get some hot water. When she returned to the room, Zhou Xingzhi was already sitting at the dining table, ready to eat. He wanted to ask her where she was going, but when he saw the thermos in her hand, he didn't ask.
Chu Yue went to the bar to open the tea bag and make tea. After it was brewed, he brought it to the table and sat down to eat. Only then did he see his phone. He opened it and saw no message. Su Ying had not sent a WeChat message either.
Zhou Xingzhi picked up some food for her and urged her to eat first. "Let's leave around 1pm. I have some work to do at noon."
"How about I drive? Uncle Miao rarely has a day off." I don't know who exactly are coming for the team building, I just know that Uncle Miao is there too. You can't ask them to work overtime at any time during the team building.
"I'll open it. The fever's gone anyway. Besides, this is my first time meeting them as their grandson-in-law, so I should do everything myself."
Chu Yue was a little worried. These past two days, she'd been showered with cold water and had a high fever. She didn't know how much online public opinion had fermented. Logically, his phone should have been ringing non-stop, but she didn't hear a single one.
"The company... must have a lot of things to deal with, right? Does it take up a lot of your time?" She always felt that Zhou Xingzhi was hiding a lot of things from her.
"It's not that much. I can handle it with my efficiency." The hot pot last night was too light and he didn't eat much. He also didn't have breakfast in the morning, so he was really hungry now.
After dinner, Chu Yue was on the second floor, using her phone to send a WeChat message to Su Ying. She didn't get a reply for a long time. She worked late and often slept during the day, so it was normal for her not to reply. She then sent a message to Ji Yan, asking: [Yingying said you're back?]
"Yueyue, hasn't your comic been updated in a long time?" Zhou Xingzhi went upstairs with his iPad, opened her account, looked through the comment section, and only handed it to her after blocking all the bad comments.
"Didn't you say comics are childish? How do you know if I update them?" Chu Yue took the iPad and opened his account. It was still the same as a few days ago. "How can my wife's comics be considered childish? Come on, you draw over there and keep me company while I work overtime."
Zhou Xingzhi pulled her up from the stool and touched her hair, which had been blown dry. The skin on her face also looked much better.
"You need someone to accompany you when you work overtime, and you need someone to accompany you when you sleep. You, can't you get anything done without someone?"
"It's normal for newlyweds to be affectionate." He dragged her downstairs and sat at the bar to work. "Nonsense!" Chu Yue was amused by his remarks, and he spoke lewdly.
It wasn't that he had to have her accompany him, but he was worried that she would be disturbed by the online chatter, and he didn't want her to call or send WeChat messages to Ji Yan. In his opinion, it was enough for Chu Yue to have him.
In the afternoon, we drove to the graves of our grandparents to pay our respects. There were still incense sticks left by Chu Jie'an and Huang Yunfu from Qingming Festival. During Qingming Festival, the couple could still return to their hometown to pay their respects together, but now they are separated forever.
For a moment, Chu Yue didn't know whether to say that it was his grandparents who waited for their disappointing son, or whether to say that he lost his grandparents and then his father.
Zhou Xingzhi placed the offerings he had bought one by one, and turned around to see her staring at the photo on the tombstone in a daze, wondering what she was thinking about.
"What are you thinking about? Seeing your grandparents reminds you of your childhood?"
Chu Yue handed the chrysanthemums in her hand to her grandmother's grave and said calmly, "No, I thought of my dad. The three of them are reunited. Zhou Xingzhi, what the trainee lawyer said is actually very right."
Zhou Xingzhi had thought the matter was over, but it turned out she was still thinking about it. "How could you listen to what those insignificant people said?"
"Grandpa and grandma, Dad died in a car accident and Mom is in jail. Is it because I didn't do well enough?" Chu Yue squatted in front of the grave and talked to them.
"How could grandpa and grandma blame you? Don't blame yourself." Zhou Xingzhi also squatted down and held her shoulders to comfort her.
Chu Yue leaned on his shoulder and said, "Zhou Xingzhi, your parents won't agree. I have a mother in prison, my father left behind a debt-ridden company, and a younger brother who hasn't graduated yet." As she spoke, she was about to cry.
