94 I Want to Live With Him
Things were different now. Pei Zhi did not dare to agree to her request rashly. âTell me about it first.â
Lin Jiao leaned against his chest. âI want to move in with you after I get discharged.â
They had only spent a short time together in her previous life.
Now that they had met again, she only wanted to make up for all the regrets she had in the past.
âJiaojiao, we can only live together when we get married.â
âThen letâs get married.â
Pei Zhi felt like his brain was being struck by a wooden stick, causing him to lose the ability to think.
If she said that while she was in her right mind, he would definitely go home immediately to get all the paperwork done.
However, she was not.
Pei Zhi sighed helplessly. âLetâs get married when you turn 25, okay?â
âWhy?â
âItâs not good to get married too early.â
âButâ¦â She married him as soon as she reached a marriageable age in her previous life, so she did not think that age was an issue.
âBut what?â
She pursed her lips. âBut I donât want to wait too long.â
Pei Zhi was the same.
He stretched his stiff legs out of the blanket and flexed his knees before talking to her.
âJiaojiao.â He looked sideways at her. âI havenât had enough alone time with you yet. I donât want to have children too early.â
âWe can choose not to have children for now.â
âStill no. I have no self-control.â
Lin Jiao was in a dillema.
She thought for a long time but could not think of a solution. It was not until Shen Yi appeared that her worries were swept away.
âAre you two going to sleep?â Shen Yi looked at Pei Zhi, who was frozen on the bed like a mummy, and coughed to hide his smile.
Zhou Yanshen was also trying his best to fight back the urge to laugh out loud.
He walked to the bed and patted the leg that was hanging outside. âPresident Pei, isnât your leg cold?â
âNot really.â Pei Zhi glared at him.
He sat up, holding the railing, and was about to ask about the surveillance cameras when the person in his arms beat him to it.
âShen Yi, I have something to ask you.â
âAsk away.â
Lin Jiao asked, âHow can I avoid getting pregnant?â
âPfftââ
Zhou Yanshen spat out a mouthful of water.
He grabbed his collar and coughed a few times. When he felt better, he put down the cup and said in disbelief, âDid I hear it wrong?â
âNo.â Lin Jiao lifted the wet blanket and did not blame him. âBrother Yanshen, drink slowly next time. Donât choke.â
Zhou Yanshen only heard the word ânoâ.
He looked at the expressionless Pei Zhi. âWhy are you suddenly talking about having children?â
âThis topic just came up.â Lin Jiao looked at Shen Yi, waiting for his answer.
Shen Yi replied from the doctorâs perspective, âThereâs something called condom. Donât you know?â
âHe doesnât want to use it.â
Pei Zhi fell back on the bed, speechless.
âPresident Pei, do you want to give sterilization a try?â Shen Yi leaned against the wall and suggested seriously.
âSterilization? Is surgery needed for that?â
âRight.â
âThat wonât do.â Lin Jiao could not bear to let him suffer. She was silent for a moment. âIs there any other way?â
Under someoneâs warning gaze, Shen Yi stopped teasing. âThe best way is to use condom.â
âLetâs talk about this later.â
Pei Zhi pulled her into his arms so that she could not ask again.
He adjusted the pillow behind his waist and asked, âDid you find him?â
âNo news yet.â
Zhou Yanshen and Shen Yi sat down on the sofa.
He thought about it again and asked Lin Jiao in an extremely tactful manner, âJiaojiao, why didnât you go back home after work today?â
âI did.â
âThen how did you injure your head?â
Lin Jiao frowned, trying to find important information from that blurry memory.
But somehow, the more she thought about it, the more her head hurt.
âItâs fine if you canât remember.â Pei Zhi caressed her eyebrows to soothe her.
He handed the phone to her and changed the topic. âSee where the takeout is.â
âOkay.â Lin Jiao lit up the screen.
While she was doing that, Pei Zhi called them to the balcony to discuss this matter.
Zhou Yanshen asked, âWhen do you plan to tell Pei Yilan about her condition?â
âTomorrow.â
âAlright.â He stretched his neck. âSpend more time with her. Weâll go back first.â
Pei Zhi sent them off.
He picked up the takeout on the nurseâs desk and returned to the ward. âJiaojiao, eat first.â
Lin Jiao returned the phone to him.
She scooped a spoonful of cake and fed it to him. âTry it.â
A sweet but not greasy smell filled the air. Pei Zhi swallowed it and felt that it was sweet from his throat to his heart.
He put the straw into the milk tea cup and handed it to her. âIâm going out to buy makeup remover for you.â
âThen come back quickly.â
âOkay.â
Lin Jiao finished the cake and milk tea and stared at the door fixedly, expecting someoneâs return.
When he returned, she leaned back and waited for him to remove her makeup.
âItâs time to sleep.â Pei Zhi washed her up and leaned over to turn off the light.
Seeing that he was about to walk to the sofa, Lin Jiao grabbed the corner of his shirt and pulled him back. âThis bed is not small. Letâs sleep together.â
âIâm afraid Iâll accidentally touch your wound.â
âItâs ok.â
Pei Zhi could not refuse anymore.
He took off his shoes and socks and lay under the blanket with her, using his thin arms as a pillow.
âJiaojiao, good night.â
âWhat about a goodnight kiss?â
Lin Jiao slowed down and looked up.
The gentle moonlight shone on her expectant eyes, making his heart melt.
He planted a kiss on her forehead. âBe good and sleep.â
âDonât forget to kiss me tomorrow morning.â
âI wonât.â
After getting his promise, Lin Jiao closed her eyes happily and fell asleep in peace.
Pei Zhi sighed slightly and gradually tightened his grip on her waist. Surrounded by her sweet smell, he fell asleep with her.
âBoss, I brought the chicken soup.â Qu Shao came to the hospital early in the morning with a thermos.
He asked about Lin Jiao first to make sure that she was fine. âI made this this morning. Itâs enough for the two of you.â
âThank you.â Pei Zhi was very sincere.
After helping Lin Jiao clean her face, he turned around and walked into the washroom to wash up, leaving Qu Shao staring at her.
Qu Shao could see the sweetness in her eyes and suddenly had a guess. âMiss Lin, what did Boss say to you?â
âJust now?â
Under his gossipy gaze, Lin Jiao said slowly, âHe didnât say anything. He just kissed me.â
Qu Shaoâs eyes widened. âKissâ¦?â
