Endless Fall Novel - Chapter 94
94 I Want to Live With Him
Things were different now. Pei Zhi did not dare to agree to her request rashly. “Tell me about it first.”
Lin Jiao leaned against his chest. “I want to move in with you after I get discharged.”
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.
!!
“Jiaojiao, we can only live together when we get married.”
“Then let’s get married.”
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. “Let’s get married when you turn 25, okay?”
“Why?”
“It’s not good to get married too early.”
“But…” 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.
“But what?”
She pursed her lips. “But I don’t want to wait too long.”
Pei Zhi was the same.
He stretched his stiff legs out of the blanket and flexed his knees before talking to her.
“Jiaojiao.” He looked sideways at her. “I haven’t had enough alone time with you yet. I don’t want to have children too early.”
“We can choose not to have children for now.”
“Still no. I have no self-control.”
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.
“Are you two going to sleep?” 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. “President Pei, isn’t your leg cold?”
“Not really.” 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.
“Shen Yi, I have something to ask you.”
“Ask away.”
Lin Jiao asked, “How can I avoid getting pregnant?”
“Pfft—”
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, “Did I hear it wrong?”
“No.” Lin Jiao lifted the wet blanket and did not blame him. “Brother Yanshen, drink slowly next time. Don’t choke.”
Zhou Yanshen only heard the word ‘no’.
He looked at the expressionless Pei Zhi. “Why are you suddenly talking about having children?”
“This topic just came up.” Lin Jiao looked at Shen Yi, waiting for his answer.
Shen Yi replied from the doctor’s perspective, “There’s something called condom. Don’t you know?”
“He doesn’t want to use it.”
Pei Zhi fell back on the bed, speechless.
“President Pei, do you want to give sterilization a try?” Shen Yi leaned against the wall and suggested seriously.
“Sterilization? Is surgery needed for that?”
“Right.”
“That won’t do.” Lin Jiao could not bear to let him suffer. She was silent for a moment. “Is there any other way?”
Under someone’s warning gaze, Shen Yi stopped teasing. “The best way is to use condom.”
“Let’s talk about this later.”
Pei Zhi pulled her into his arms so that she could not ask again.
He adjusted the pillow behind his waist and asked, “Did you find him?”
“No news yet.”
Zhou Yanshen and Shen Yi sat down on the sofa.
He thought about it again and asked Lin Jiao in an extremely tactful manner, “Jiaojiao, why didn’t you go back home after work today?”
“I did.”
“Then how did you injure your head?”
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.
“It’s fine if you can’t remember.” Pei Zhi caressed her eyebrows to soothe her.
He handed the phone to her and changed the topic. “See where the takeout is.”
“Okay.” 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, “When do you plan to tell Pei Yilan about her condition?”
“Tomorrow.”
“Alright.” He stretched his neck. “Spend more time with her. We’ll go back first.”
Pei Zhi sent them off.
He picked up the takeout on the nurse’s desk and returned to the ward. “Jiaojiao, eat first.”
Lin Jiao returned the phone to him.
She scooped a spoonful of cake and fed it to him. “Try it.”
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. “I’m going out to buy makeup remover for you.”
“Then come back quickly.”
“Okay.”
Lin Jiao finished the cake and milk tea and stared at the door fixedly, expecting someone’s return.
When he returned, she leaned back and waited for him to remove her makeup.
“It’s time to sleep.” 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. “This bed is not small. Let’s sleep together.”
“I’m afraid I’ll accidentally touch your wound.”
“It’s ok.”
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.
“Jiaojiao, good night.”
“What about a goodnight kiss?”
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. “Be good and sleep.”
“Don’t forget to kiss me tomorrow morning.”
“I won’t.”
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.
“Boss, I brought the chicken soup.” 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. “I made this this morning. It’s enough for the two of you.”
“Thank you.” 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. “Miss Lin, what did Boss say to you?”
“Just now?”
Under his gossipy gaze, Lin Jiao said slowly, “He didn’t say anything. He just kissed me.”
Qu Shao’s eyes widened. “Kiss…?”
