Chapter 146
After dinner, Xue Jingrui cleaned up everything, prepared fruits for Qi Ji, and got the water ready that Qi Ji would drink later that night. When he returned to his room, he reminded Qi Ji to go to bed early.
"Okay, I got it, Brother Jingrui," Qi Ji said, but she was not paying much attention, as she was still thinking about her plans for the night.
In the group chat with the three of them, only Shen Yin and Shu Yi were chatting enthusiastically.
[Yin Yin, our little friend Qi Ji is going to take action tonight.]
[What action?]
[She said she wants to have a baby.]
Upon seeing the message, Shen Yin's first reaction was to @ Qi Ji.
[@Little miracle, come online for a bit.]
Two minutes passed, but there was still no reply.
[Oh wow, this little rascal must have really taken action, not even looking at her phone now.]
Shen Yin [.............]
[What should we do, Yin Yin? Is Qi Ji being too impulsive?]
Shen Yin thought Qi Ji was being a bit impulsive, but the choice was hers to make. Life's path is one that each person chooses for themselves, and no one else can make that decision for them.
[Qi Ji is a girl with her own thoughts, don't worry about her.]
After sending the message, Shen Yin went to apply medicine to Zhengzheng, to prevent the little one from scratching his belly with his hands.
When they returned in the afternoon, as soon as they reached the third floor, Xu Xiuhe had trimmed Xu Yunzheng's fingernails.
In fact, both of them kept their eyes on the little one, taking turns watching him, afraid that he might scratch himself and make his condition worse.
"Zhengzheng, bear with it a little longer. We'll put the medicine on and then you can go to sleep and rest. You'll be fine in a couple of days," Shen Yin said soothingly as she applied the ointment to Zhengzheng.
At 11 PM, Qi Ji estimated that Xue Jingrui should be ready to sleep soon.
She tiptoed from the living room to Xue Jingrui's bedroom door, gently twisted the doorknob, and to her surprise, it wasn't locked.
In fact, she had already found the keys and considered various methods, afraid that her plan might not succeed.
Qi Ji felt that after finally mustering up the courage, she couldn't back down now. For the sake of the baby, she had to make some sacrifices and not hesitate.
With a burst of determination, Qi Ji approached the bedside. By the moonlight from outside, she could see where Xue Jingrui was lying on the bed.
She quietly climbed onto the bed, silently chanting to herself, "Don't be nervous, you've done your homework, this is the only chance, just this one time, and you'll have the baby."
As Qi Ji motivated herself, she slowly inched closer to Xue Jingrui.
The air conditioning was on in the room, and Xue Jingrui was covered with a blanket. It wasn't until Qi Ji pulled the blanket that he sensed something.
He was in a daze from sleep, only waking up a bit when someone tugged at his blanket. Could it be Qi Ji's cat wandering into his room at night?
"Watermelon, don't move, I want to sleep," the man said as he pulled the blanket back, intending to go back to sleep.
Qi Ji didn't dare move, thinking that Brother Jingrui had woken up, but little did she know that he had mistaken her for the cat.
After a few seconds, when Qi Ji felt that the man had fallen asleep again, she continued her actions, being even more careful than before.
She had even deliberately worn a spaghetti strap dress, and wasn't wearing any underwear, fully prepared for the endeavor, leaving nothing to chance.
After covering herself with the blanket, Qi Ji inched closer to Xue Jingrui, until she was right next to him.
Xue Jingrui didn't react, so she dared to move even closer, until their bodies were pressed together.
Her fingers lightly brushed against the skin on Xue Jingrui's waist.
Perhaps feeling a bit ticklish, Xue Jingrui turned over, facing Qi Ji.
What should she do next? Qi Ji wondered, as she had only planned up to this point, but hadn't thought about how to proceed.
Qi Ji curled up, like a little kitten, not daring to move.
Thinking it was Watermelon the cat again, Xue Jingrui reached out his hand, intending to push the cat aside, but coincidentally, his hand landed on Qi Ji's head.
At the same time, he seemed to realize that Watermelon's fur had never felt like this before.
"Watermelon, Watermelon," he called out.
"Meow, meow," Qi Ji responded in a falsetto voice, imitating Watermelon's usual meows.
Xue Jingrui felt it again, lightly patting it, until he finally realized something was off.
Opening his eyes, he said, "Qi Ji?"
Qi Ji felt a bit embarrassed, having been recognized so quickly.
"Brother, you're not asleep yet? How did you know I wasn't Watermelon?" Qi Ji's voice was small and soft.
Xue Jingrui replied, "I'm not stupid."
A grown person like her, he should have realized it earlier. Moreover, he could still tell the difference between hair and a cat's fur.
"It's so late, why did you come to my room?"
"Um, Brother Jingrui, I, I..." Qi Ji stammered, unsure of how to explain herself.
"What's wrong with you? Is the air conditioning broken in your room? Why are you feeling so hot?" Xue Jingrui asked.
"No, no, the air conditioning is fine."
"Did you have a nightmare then? Are you scared?"
"Ah yes, yes, I had a nightmare, I was scared, Brother Jingrui, you're so perceptive."
Xue Jingrui felt pleased and accomplished.
But he felt that he might not be able to sleep tonight, with this little girl lying next to him, and after he had consumed so many nourishing soups during the day, his body was even hotter than Qi Ji's.
"Don't be afraid, sleep peacefully. Dreams are the opposite of reality. I'm right here, no need to be scared," Xue Jingrui said as he shifted to the side. So that was Qi Ji's hand on his waist earlier.
He couldn't think about it, or the more he thought, the worse it would become.
"Brother Jingrui, why don't you ask me what kind of dream I had?"
"What kind of scary dream did Qi Ji have?"
"I dreamed that I couldn't have children, it was so terrifying. Wah wah wah, babies are so adorable, why can't I have one?"
Xue Jingrui's heart sank. What the hell, that's such a weird dream.
"Dreams are the opposite of reality. Qi Ji is healthy, how could she not be able to have babies?"
"Really?"
"Really."
"So when can I have a baby?"
Xue Jingrui: "..........."
"When does Qi Ji want to have one?"
"Now."
Upon hearing this, Xue Jingrui's heart skipped a beat. Was she implying something?
"Does Qi Ji really like babies that much?"
"Yes, babies like Zhengzheng are so cute, calling me 'auntie' and singing songs for me."
Xue Jingrui...
"Having a child is a decision between two people."
"I know, that's why I came to find you. What's wrong, Brother Xue Jingrui? Don't you want to have a child? I'm sorry, I was too selfish and didn't consider your thoughts carefully." Qi Ji seemed a little lost. Well, this was her fault, she hadn't asked Brother Xue Jingrui's opinion.
Qi Ji got up from the bed, preparing to return to her own room. It seemed that the dream she casually made up came true, and she really couldn't have a child.
Qi Ji knelt on one knee, stretching out one foot to find her slippers.
The white figure showed a sense of loss.
It took Xue Jingrui several seconds to react. He grabbed Qi Ji's ankle, not meaning what she thought.
"Qi Ji, you misunderstood me. I do want to have a child."
