Ni Jiu (Intoxicated) - Chap 26

Shen Tingwei’s wrist was suddenly grabbed by someone, and he was not able to regain his senses completely. His eyes were gray as if covered in morning mist, and he stared blankly at Lian Jue: “What’s wrong?”
Lian Jue’s expression was difficult to maintain steady, grabbed Shen Tingwei’s hand and almost rudely pulled the person up from the chair: “Follow me to the hospital.”

Shen Ting was not pulled by him and staggered slightly, his wrist was so painful that he could not take it back, his heart tightened suddenly, as if he understood the sudden abnormality of Lian Jue.

Lian Jue’s expression was stiff, but there was an unprecedented panic in his movements. Shen Ting was not dragged by him and took a few steps to the door, before he quickly stopped Lian Jue: “Wait, wait a minute, are you going out like this?”
Lian Jue stopped in his footsteps, and there was a moment of dullness in his eyes that did not belong to him. After a few seconds, he let go of his hand and stepped up to the second floor.
Shen Ting didn’t rub his red wrist, and waited until Lian Jue’s figure completely disappeared on the stairs, he suppressed the urge to go back to the room to take a pill, raised his hand and beat his chest, trying to make his abnormal heart rhythm. Calm down.
No matter how high-end private clinics are, the smell of disinfectant that is hard to ignore in the air cannot be avoided.

Shen Tingwei was sitting on the chair in the deserted corridor with his hands on his lower abdomen unconsciously, and there was a small talk from the closed clinic door beside him. “”, “anemia” and other words are not painful or itchy when singled out, but they are disturbing words in pregnancy.
Lian Jue responded with a single word from time to time, sounding as serious as a primary school student answering questions in class, Shen Ting stopped for a while with his eyes half down, and a pair of shiny black leather shoes appeared in his sight.
“Mr. Shen, this is your salary in the trampoline park.” Lin Chen handed him a bulged kraft paper bag, “Mr. Lian has asked me to go through the resignation formalities on your behalf today.”
“Well.” Shen Tingwei took it in a low mood and didn’t say much.
Lin Chen sat down beside him, aware of his emotions and couldn’t help but say a few more words: “Actually, Mr. Lian is mainly worried about your health. Last night, Mr. Lian knew that you were injured and asked me to send me some medicine for bruising. The original board meeting this morning was also postponed. It can be seen that Lian always attaches great importance to you, and I hope Mr. Shen will not blame President Lian for making his own decisions.”
Shen Ting did not shake his head, but reluctantly pulled the corner of his mouth: “I know.”
Lin Chen smiled, but Shen Ting didn’t say anything, and continued to stare at the tile pattern on the corridor floor in a daze.
Lian Jue came out of the consultation room with the examination report, Lin Chen stood up and quickly returned to work: “Mr. Lian, the contract has been prepared as you ordered, and the ticket has been booked, and the flight is at 0: 0 tonight. Seventeen points. The application materials have been submitted this morning, and we will land at nine o’clock tomorrow morning. The driver has been contacted to pick you up and Mr. Shen. ”

Lian Jue let out an “um”, his eyes still on Shen Tingwei who was sitting on the seat. Out of professional habit, Lin Chen subconsciously reached out to pick up what was in his hand, but was avoided without a trace.
Before Shen Ting got up from the chair, he caught a glimpse of a dark corner of his clothes from the corner of his eye. He raised his eyes unexpectedly and saw Lian Jue standing in front of him, stretching his hand in front of him.

Shen Ting was stunned for a moment, and was made nervous by his unnecessary thoughtfulness. He raised his forearm and looked at him, his expression changed slightly: “…Is the test result bad?”
Lian Jue glanced at Lin Chen next to him. The other party took a few steps back with insight. Lian Jue withdrew his hand and replied in a low voice, “No.”
The words that were almost perfunctory didn’t make Shen Tingwei’s face show much relief. Since there were others around, he closed his mouth.
Lin Chen didn’t go back with them. He probably drove the car by himself. In short, he didn’t see him again after he came out of the luxurious private hospital. The driver who was in charge of driving was also left with him.
The return trip was Lian Jue’s car. Shen Ting didn’t open his mouth, and after a while, he reminded him in a low voice that the overnight drink might not have been metabolized.
“I didn’t drink much.” Lian Jue didn’t say that the drunkenness last night mainly came from Shen Tingwei’s smell. He didn’t want to think too much about the bad behavior last night, “Fash your seat belts.”
Shen Ting didn’t say “Oh”, bowed his head to fasten his seat belt, raised his head and asked, “Are you going to have a meeting today?”
“No.” Lian Jue said.
The conversation fell into a two-way silence again. The air conditioner was not turned on in the car, and Shen Ting did not lower the window to a very narrow gap, allowing the wind flowing with the vehicle to blow in.
The car window was quickly raised, and Lian Jue looked straight ahead and asked, “Hot?”
Shen Tingwei said, “No, I’m thinking about it.”
“I’ll catch a cold.” Lian Jue said.
Shen Ting did not speak, and after a while, Lian Jue added: “Your physical resistance is relatively poor now.”
Shen Tingwei felt at a loss for Lian Jue’s good manner of speaking, he nodded, raised his eyes, his fingers twisted with the seat belt were strangled with red marks, and carefully followed Lian Jue’s words and asked: “The doctor also said Anything else?”
Lian Jue glanced at him in the rearview mirror and said, “No.”
Shen Ting didn’t breathe for a while, and the drum-like vibration under his chest made him unable to control his tone, and he clearly said nervously: “Then… is the child okay? Is he healthy?”
The calm maintained on Lian Jue’s face changed slightly in his questioning. He thought he adjusted his sitting posture naturally, but his blunt tone revealed his concealed mood: “There is no problem at the moment. The number of weeks is too short, Whether it is healthy or not can not be seen now, and it will take multiple inspections in the future to determine.”
Shen Tingwei finally felt relieved.
The two rarely had such a continuous, almost awkward conversation. Shen Ting could not see his awkwardness, so he simply stopped talking.
On the contrary, Lian Jue seemed to have something to say, but Shen Ting did not wait for a long time for him to speak, so he had to turn his face out of the window.
The workers in the villa are still busy tending the garden.
Shen Ting didn’t change his slippers at the entrance. After thinking for a while, he decided to follow Lian Jue to the study on the second floor.
Lian Jue stood in front of the window with his back to Shen Tingwei, and when he heard the sound of the door closing behind him, the cigarette he had just touched in his hand returned to its original place.
“Mr. Lian.” Shen Tingwei watched him push the window open, “Do you have time now?”
In fact, Lian Jue wanted to be alone for a while now. He closed his eyes, his mood couldn’t be completely sorted out in such a short period of time, so he could only try his best to turn around seemingly calmly, and said to Shen Tingwei, “Sit down.”
The person who wants to chat has not spoken for a long time, as if waiting for Lian Jue to speak first.
Even the tactic was really unable to hold back.
This morning, the moment the test results were presented in black and white, his first reaction was that if there was no problem with the test results, then there must be someone between him and the doctor who needs to see a psychiatrist. But he knew that the chances of making mistakes after doing so many inspections were very small, and trying to keep himself calm and sane was not something he could do with hard work.
The doctor worked harder than him to maintain the professionalism and calmness of the doctor – even though his eyes were full of disbelief – he was digging his forehead to tell him about Shen Tingwei’s situation with difficulty.
Lian Jue looked at his flat belly that was no different from a normal male under the thin clothes. His face was not ugly, but he was stiff enough: “Are you, a transgender?”
He wanted to rationalize the status quo as much as possible, even if the possibility was extremely bizarre.
Shen Tingwei frowned and stared at Lian Jue, so he didn’t ask him if he was joking at this time. He shook his head and said, “I’m not.”
“Then you—” Lian Jue paused, his eyes hard to take away from his abdomen, “Why are you pregnant?”
Shen Tingwei’s expression suddenly became very strange. He watched Lian Jue for a long time and found that the confusion on Lian Jue’s face was not fake, and his mood became depressed for a while.
Shen Tingwei had to admit that it was impossible to say that she never blamed Lian Jue since she found out she was pregnant. He tried his best to avoid thinking about these things just to make himself feel better, but at this moment, the words that were pierced by the other party seemed to induce the grievances he had suppressed for a long time, and then slowly spread to the whole eye socket.

Before he lost control of his emotions, he closed his eyes and said briefly and in a low voice, “You won’t wear… condoms.”

Lian Jue was obviously stunned by his answer. He didn’t expect that he would lead the topic to such a serious place, but it seemed very reasonable, so that Lian Jue could not find any evidence that he deliberately seduced.
The atmosphere froze for a long time.
Lian Jue seemed to suddenly realize something: “So you already knew?”
Shen Tingwei said dully: “…what do you know?”

Lian Jue’s expression gradually became serious. He looked at Shen Tingwei with deep and sharp eyes, as if he wanted to stare him in the opposite direction: “You can get pregnant.”
His tone changed from the repressed soothing to aggressive: “You always knew that, so you came to me.”

Shen Ting didn’t have to think about it to know that he must be saying “what’s your purpose?”.
“I didn’t find you on purpose.” Shen Tingwei felt very wronged, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that Lian Jue was really that kind of excessive person. He raised his eyes and looked at Lian Jue, the mist in his eyes almost blinded the original The color of the pupils, the voice became lower and lower, as if tears were about to fall, “I was not sober during that time, my head was very dizzy, and my body was not feeling well, it wasn’t you, it could be someone else… I wanted to treat that day as a In an accident, you asked someone to take me back again…”
Lian Jue was not satisfied with his rhetoric, and couldn’t find any faults. He probably subconsciously believed his reasonable explanation. He didn’t think the fault was entirely his own, so he reminded him for the purpose of defending himself: “You fainted on the road, and I saved you.”
If it wasn’t for Lian Jue’s heart to recall the previous two times, he would almost have been confused by his pitiful appearance.
Lian Jue staggered his eyes and felt that Shen Tingwei was really too good at pretending to be pitiful. It was clear that he took the initiative to join him in the first two times, but instead he seemed like a beast who forced him.
Shen Ting could not have sensed the wrong, and bit his lip with red eyes, not wanting to say any more.
Lian Jue glanced at him wearily, with a slight sharpness in his eyes, and asked him again in a different wording: “What happened to your body? When did you know…that you can get pregnant.”
Shen Tingwei didn’t know how to answer, saying that transmigrating or explaining his body structure was not something that could be explained clearly in a few words. The second half of his question: “Last year, I found out when I was not feeling well and went for a medical examination.”
Strictly speaking, he did not cheat, and he did complete the differentiation of the second gender only last year.
Lian Jue mistakenly regarded the long silence in front of him as being helpless. This rare medically unexplainable situation made it impossible for the patient to explain himself. He put his knuckles on his forehead and closed his eyes: “Forget it. You find me. What’s up?”
Shen Tingwei didn’t speak for a long time, and Lian Jue didn’t plan to speak in front of him. The study lasted for a period of time before Shen Tingwei finally spoke.
“Would you agree with me to keep the child?” His voice was low, unease in his tone, “if he’s healthy.”
Lian Jue opened his eyes and looked at him. After being silent for a while, he gave an ambiguous answer: “It depends on the situation.”
Shen Ting didn’t lift his eyes to look back at him, his eyes showed perseverance and stubbornness that Lian Jue had never seen before.
He succinctly expressed his needs to Lian Jue: “I agree to marry you, just to be able to give birth to a child smoothly.”
Lian Jue frowned.
Shen Tingwei said again: “I will give birth to him.”
Lian Jue stared into his eyes for a long time, while quickly thinking in his mind whether he could afford the responsibilities and time needed to raise one more child, and then it didn’t take too long, he almost made a hasty compromise: “Yes. ”
Shen Tingwei seemed to be confirming the credibility of his words. He paused for a while, and his expression of pretending to be rigid gradually became soft and gentle. He pursed his lips, nodded and seriously said “thank you” to Lian Jue. , Li Shang exchanged: “What do you need me to do?”
“I just need a marriage.”
Lian Jue’s tone was very casual, and it was true, his other half was male or female, it made no difference to him whether it was Shen Tingwei or anyone else.

As long as it’s not Chen Ningxue.
Shen Ting didn’t ask any more questions, just said “Okay”.
Lian Jue looked at his low-brows pleasing to the eye, pouted his forehead for a while, and added another condition: “Be obedient, there may be some occasions that you need to attend in the future.”
Shen Ting didn’t understand and nodded: “I see.”
“There will be doctors at the hospital who will come over to give you regular physical examinations, and may conduct some necessary research on your body structure, you…” Lian Jue wanted to say “you cooperate well”, but his eyes stopped on his face In just half a second, his voice paused slightly and changed his words flatly, “Try to cooperate with the parts that can cooperate.”

“I will.”
Lian Jue briefly explained to him the flight time to country C tonight and the registration process tomorrow. Shen Tingwei seriously acted as the “obedient” person in his mouth and listened to him patiently, gentle and not too much. Smiling emotionally: “You can arrange it.”
Before leaving the study, Shen Ting put the kraft paper bag that Lin Chen gave him on the spacious table, and turned around before Lian Jue could speak.
Lian Jue leaned back in the chair, raised his eyebrows and let go, his slender fingers tapped the kraft paper bag, and below it was a stack of numbers that he knew without counting—Lin Chen put it in as he ordered this morning of.
The phone on the table rang, and Lian Jue didn’t rush to answer it. When the incoming call rang for the second time, he slowly answered, “Dad.”
In the morning, he took people to the hospital in a hurry, and it was no accident that Chen Chulian called at this moment.
Fortunately, Lian Jue greeted the hospital in advance, and the other party’s remarks were reasonable: Lian Jue drank too much, it was not serious or serious, and the child on the bed was brought into the hospital.
Chen Chulian must have believed the rhetoric. After Lian Jue answered the phone, he didn’t ask anything. He told him to go back for dinner on the weekend as if nothing had happened, and told him lightly that he should calm down and not be like an ignorant young man. Bullshit.
He should: “I know.”
