Chapter 334 Don't overthink it, life is too short.
After Lu Congyue coughed several more times, Zhuang Qingxiang finally agreed to stay for two days.
Finally getting the result he wanted, Lu Congyue felt relieved, but then hunger surged up, and his stomach started growling loudly.
Zhuang Qingxiang suppressed a laugh and said, "Alright, can we eat properly now?"
Lu Congyue nodded.
"I'll go heat it up for you. I'll also ask Dr. Shi if he's had dinner yet. If not, you can all eat together."
As Zhuang Qingxiang spoke, she went out of the inner room. The food in the main room had long since gone cold, so she took it all to the kitchen.
As soon as she made a sound, Sun Yongxian and Shi Peiran heard it and immediately came out with their three children.
"Teacher Sun, what did my parents finally decide? Will my mother still take us with her?" Xiao Luyue asked worriedly, her voice very soft.
The one who answered her was Shi Peiran.
"Don't worry, your parents have made up and won't leave," he said confidently.
"How did you know?" Sun Yongxian immediately asked.
Shi Peiran winked at her, reminding her that what he had just seen could not be discussed in front of the child, as it was far too shocking.
He really wants Zhuang Qingxiang to take the three children away so he can have a private talk with his wife behind closed doors.
Or ask your wife if she'd like to do that too...
As he thought about it, his gaze grew intense. Sun Yongxian immediately smacked him on the head and scolded him in a low voice, "Shi Peiran, you better tone it down. What are you thinking about in front of the children?"
Shi Peiran: "I wasn't thinking about anything, oh no, I was thinking, should we go over and help Sister Zhuang?"
Sun Yongxian completely ignored his question and went straight to the kitchen. Seeing Zhuang Qingxiang heating up food, she quickly said, "Sister Zhuang, my Peiran hasn't eaten yet either. Is there enough food?"
"That's enough. Let Dr. Shi wash his hands and wait in the main room. Dinner will be served soon," Zhuang Qingxiang replied with a smile.
The firelight from the stove reflected on her face, making her appear even more gentle, which almost stunned Sun Yongxian.
Sister Zhuang smiled. It seems Director Lu has succeeded in winning back his wife, and the two have reconciled!
"Alright, stop standing there like an idiot, hurry up and go play in the main room with Dr. Shi and the children," Zhuang Qingxiang said again. After a pause, she added, "Yongxian, I'll be staying here tonight, can you sleep with me?"
Sun Yongxian: "What? You two... haven't made up yet?"
Director Lu was home, and she was asked to sit on her kang (heated brick bed). This was meant to make Director Lu hold a grudge against her.
"Sister Zhuang, this...this isn't right. How can I sleep on your kang (heated brick bed)..." Sun Yongxian muttered.
Zhuang Qingxiang laughed and said, "What's wrong with that? I've seen you sleep on my kang (heated brick bed) quite often before! It's settled then."
When Sun Yongxian came out of the kitchen, the three children had already run into the house looking for their father, Shi Peiran, who was waiting for her.
Sun Yongxian could almost feel the burning intensity of Shi Peiran's gaze once again.
Hmm...it seems she really should share a room with Sister Zhuang, otherwise, what will she do at night? She can't do *that* in someone else's house...
"Peiran, Sister Zhuang said she'll be staying over tonight, but... she wants me to stay with her, and I've already agreed..."
Shi Peiran: "..."
Shi Peiran had originally planned to discuss with his wife that evening the unusual, clandestine hobby of Director Lu and Sister Zhuang, but now that plan was completely ruined.
He could only channel his grief and anger into his appetite, shoveling food into his mouth like a whirlwind.
That night, all three children were asleep, with Zhuang Qingxiang and Sun Yongxian lying side by side.
The first to speak was Sun Yongxian: "Sister Zhuang, the children are all asleep. If you have something to say to me, just say it."
Zhuang Qingxiang then told Sun Yongxian about her obsession with something.
Of course, not a single word about the specifics can be mentioned.
It took Sun Yongxian a while to understand. She scratched her head and said, "Sister Zhuang, what nonsense are you talking about? You and Director Lu are already married, and you're still telling me you're unsure whether you should marry him?"
"Sister Zhuang, do you know what we call someone like you where we're from?"
Zhuang Qingxiang shook her head blankly: "I don't know."
Sun Yongxian chuckled: "That's called being bored out of your mind!"
Zhuang Qingxiang pinched her, both amused and exasperated: "Don't talk nonsense."
"That's exactly right," Sun Yongxian argued confidently. "Sister Zhuang, don't overthink things. Thinking too much will only upset you. Besides, there's really nothing to worry about. You like Director Lu, and he likes you too, isn't that enough? It's that simple. Life is short, Sister Zhuang, seize the day! Do I have to teach you that? If you keep obsessing over it, what if Director Lu suddenly accepts another woman's advances? Can you guarantee you won't be upset?"
Sun Yongxian has always believed in living for the moment, so she finds it unbelievable that Zhuang Qingxiang is getting stuck on something so trivial.
She talked a lot more, and eventually Zhuang Qingxiang fell asleep while listening, and then she fell asleep as well.
When Zhuang Qingxiang woke up the next day, she could still hear Sun Yongxian's voice echoing in her ears. When she looked around, Sun Yongxian was gone. She didn't know if she had left after waking up early in the morning or if she had gone back to find Shi Peiran in the middle of the night.
Zhuang Qingxiang shook her head, woke up Xiao Luyue, and gestured for her to be quiet so that her two younger brothers could sleep a little longer.
After Xiao Luyue got dressed, Zhuang Qingxiang helped her get up to wash up and then went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast.
Soon, Lu Congyue also got up and came over to help, but was chased away by Zhuang Qingxiang.
"Patients should be aware of their own health and go back to their rooms to lie down!" she said.
Lu Congyue turned around and saw that the door to the room where Shi Peiran and Sun Yongxian lived was still closed. He angrily went up and knocked on the door.
His wife was busy in the kitchen, and the two of them were sleeping soundly in the house. How could they be so shameless?
A moment later, Shi Peiran opened the door: "Director Lu, good morning."
"It's getting late, your Sister Zhuang is already preparing breakfast for you in the kitchen!" Lu Congyue snorted coldly, sounding very resentful.
Shi Peiran quickly said, "Yongxian and I will go over to help right away."
"Hmph...that's more like it..." Lu Congyue was slightly more satisfied.
As they were talking, Sun Yongxian, dressed neatly, came out. When she saw Lu Congyue, she glanced at him once, twice, three times...
Shi Peiran quickly tugged at her, telling her not to stare so blatantly.
In the middle of the night, Sun Yongxian ran back. He immediately woke up from his dream and couldn't wait to tell her what he had seen.
As a result, the couple suffered from severe sleep deprivation and both woke up late today.
However, let's keep these private conversations to ourselves and not bring them out into the public eye.
Judging from how Sun Yongxian looked at Director Lu, she might end up angering both Director Lu and Sister Zhuang. After all, there's an idiom that means "to become angry out of embarrassment."
"I know, I know, I'm not stupid." Sun Yongxian started to get annoyed after he gave her a few instructions. "Alright, stop talking, I'm going to help in the kitchen."
Shi Peiran breathed a sigh of relief; Sun Yongxian seemed to be obedient...
Unexpectedly, during breakfast, Sun Yongxian's gaze began to uncontrollably sweep over Lu Congyue and Zhuang Qingxiang again.
