During dinner, Madam Yi and the others were very enthusiastic with Xia Zhi and fought to hold the dishes for her, piling her bowls up high.
Xia Zhi felt a warm feeling in her heart, so she ate as much as she could, not wanting to let down their kindness towards her.
When lunch finally came to an end, Lady Yi pulled her around and chatted with her for a while.
She ran off.
Madam Yi shook her head helplessly, and said gently to Xia Zhi: "She's still a silly little girl, and doesn't have any sense of propriety when speaking with her. After you have been with her for a long time, you will know that although she has an open mouth, she is kind and interesting. You will definitely become good friends with her. "
Xia Zhi chuckled, "I like her now! The innocence in her makes me think of my youth. "
"You are in your prime right now! "Humans, as long as they know how to cherish and choose, it's not hard to have a beautiful life." Lady Yi gently patted her hand. She took a red embroidered box from Mrs. Chen and handed it to her. "Take this and hold it. It's a greeting gift from me. Open it to see if you like it."
Xia Zhi looked at the exquisite patterns on the embroidered box, and knew that the items inside must be very valuable, she anxiously waved his hand, "Aunty, I cannot take it, please take it back!"
"This is a pair of jade bracelets passed down from the Yi family. They are gifts that granny will give to her future daughter-in-law. You must accept them. If you don't accept it, that means you haven't thought about marrying Zi Han yet. Now tell me, have you made up your mind? " Lady Yi looked at her expectantly.
"I've thought about it. However, Zi Han and I both felt that since we were still young and were planning to fight for our careers, the marriage wasn't that quick. Help me collect this jade bracelet. On the day that I marry you, it won't be too late for you to give it to me as a gift. Xia Zhi spoke tactfully.
Lady Yi opened the box and took out two jade bracelets, placing them on her hands. She smiled and said, "I've already said, this is only our first meeting. After you go through the door, there will be another set of jewelry for you. Now you just take this. "
"This?" Xia Zhi looked at Yi Zihan for help, hoping that he would say a few words for his.
However, Yi Zihan smiled and said, "Just keep the gift that mother gave you. Although our Yi family is not rich, we are not poor either. Unless you don't want to be my wife, you can just take it! "
"That's right!" Hurry up and keep it. This could also be considered as an order! I like you, and our whole family likes you, so they all chose me to represent you and show you our attitude. Since you have already worn this bracelet, it means that you will be a member of our Yi family for the rest of your life, you are not allowed to go back on your words! " A mischievous expression flashed across Madam Yi's face.
"This …" Xia Zhi still wanted to say something.
Yi Zihan laughed: "That's enough. This is a gift from an old man, just accept it. Refusing too much would only make you look less magnanimous! This isn't like you! "
Xia Zhi also knew that it wasn't a good idea to keep pestering her like this. Moreover, her stomach was rolling in pain, if she stayed any longer, she was afraid that she would vomit in front of everyone.
She smiled helplessly. "Thank you, Auntie."
When Lady Yi heard this, she couldn't help but laugh happily. "That's more like it!" Okay. I've finished my business, so I won't disturb the two of you to go on a romantic trip alone! Let's go! While the weather is good today, you guys can go shopping or go to a movie or something. "Anyway, how do you want to be romantic?"
"Then we really are leaving!" Yi Zihan pulled her and ran.
Xia Zhi waved goodbye to everyone one by one.
When they got in the car, the car drove off and she looked to be in pain. She turned around and said to Yi Zihan: "Find a place with dustbin s and stop for a while!"
Yi Zihan asked worriedly, "Are you sick to your stomach?"
Xia Zhi waved her hand but did not say a word.
Yi Zihan did not speak anymore, and stopped his car by the side of the road, reaching out to help her.
Xia Zhi looked at the road and could not help but frown, she was about to speak when she saw Yi Zihan take off his jacket and holding it in front of her, "You want to puke?"
"There's no need..." Xia Zhi hastily waved her hand. She opened her mouth and spat out uncontrollably.
This puke was unstoppable.
When he finally finished vomiting, Xia Zhi looked at his expensive suit and did not know whether to laugh or cry.
"Compared to you, these are nothing!" Yi Zihan bundled up the suit and put it in the trunk, "Besides, this can't be considered a waste. I'll just take it back and wash it. I don't have an obsession with cleanliness. "
Hearing this, Xia Zhi's heart became complicated.
He really took her too seriously.
"How are you feeling? If you're not feeling well, can I walk with you to get rid of the food? Or go to the hospital. Your face is truly a bit ugly. " Yi Zihan asked with concern.
Xia Zhi shook her head powerlessly, "I'm fine. "But I just ate a little too much. I just need to take a piece of stomach medicine when I get home."
"Are you sure it's just an upset stomach?" Yi Zihan was not at ease and passed over a bottle of mineral water.
"I'm sure. It's been a long time since I've had so much to eat, and today it's really far over my load. " Xia Zhi smiled bitterly as he pressed down on his abdomen.
Although he had vomited it all out, his stomach was still cramping in waves, and the pain was unbearable.
"Hurry up and get on the carriage. "It's windy outside." Yi Zihan anxiously helped her up into the car, pulling a blanket from the back seat to cover her body, he said gently, "Wait for me here for a few minutes, I'll be there shortly!"
He didn't wait for her to say anything as he spread his legs and ran towards the pharmacy across the street.
When he came back, he held a cup of warm water in his hand and gently handed it to her. "Take one!"
She took it, drank it, and tiredly closed her eyes.
Yi Zihan immediately got on the car, he was not in a rush to drive, and only silently reached out and grabbed her cold left hand.
As time passed, the medicinal power gradually took effect. Xia Zhi finally felt the pain ease down a lot, and when she opened her eyes and saw the nervous and uneasy look on Yun Che's face, she couldn't help but feel moved. She said gently, "Don't worry, this is a small problem. I feel a lot better now that I've taken the medicine. "
"Next time, don't be so uncaring because of me!" Yi Zihan said solemnly.
Xia Zhi shook her head and chuckled, "It's not that I don't care about myself. I just enjoy your warm and beautiful atmosphere too much. My grandparents and aunts gave me care instead of food. Family care. I wish for it, but how can it be wasted? "
When Yi Zihan heard this, he felt his heart ache, and he clenched her hands even more tightly, "Actually, as long as you are willing, you can have the things that you desire right away. Xia Zhi, have you ever thought that maybe you should give up on your previous plan? "
Xia Zhi stared blankly, and only after a long while did she speak in a low voice: "I'm sorry. I can't do it. "
When Yi Zihan heard it, he let out a long sigh and said with a wry smile, "Actually, I always knew you would answer like that. Okay. Don't take my words as a burden. I'll take you back now. Close your eyes and rest for a bit! "
"Alright." Xia Zhi responded softly as she slowly closed her eyes.
Yi Zihan hesitated for a long time before finally saying: "If you are willing, I can lend you my shoulder to lean on for the time being."
She said nothing, but laid her head gently on his shoulder.
The warmth of her face passed through her thick shoulders and into the depths of his soul, causing his heart to feel soft …
When the car arrived at Xia Zhi's house, he still did not move.
Yi Zihan turned his head to take a closer look at her, only to realize that she had actually fallen asleep.
The light snoring made him feel extremely emotional.
She must not have slept well again last night.
Or else he couldn't have fallen asleep in the car.
Thinking of how she would be alone in such a desolate and empty house everyday, Yi Zihan felt so much pain in his heart.
He couldn't bear to wake her, but he was afraid that she wouldn't feel well sleeping, so he extended his hand to help her adjust her seating. However, just as he extended his hand out, Xia Zhi woke up.
She opened her eyes and looked at him in confusion, then turned her head to look outside, and immediately sat up straight, as if she had just awoken from a dream, and said: "When did you get home? How come I don't know anything at all? Why didn't you wake me up? "
"But I just arrived."
"Is that so? I slept! But I feel a lot more comfortable! " Xia Zhi stretched himself, turned his head, and asked while yawning, "Do you want to get off the car and go in for a while?"
Yi Zihan shook his head, "No. You've worked hard all morning and you're not feeling well yet. You need time to rest. I won't disturb you. "
"Are you really not going?" Xia Zhi tilted his head and asked.
"I really am not going. "Rest well." Yi Zihan said gently.
"Then I'm getting off!" Xia Zhi did not remain polite any longer, got off the car, and directly opened the door and walked in.
Out of habit, she went to the window to see if he had left, but when she saw him driving out of the yard, she was stunned.
It was the first time she remembered him leaving so cleanly.
