CH 69.2

Chapter 69 — Work

In December, winter had long arrived, and along with the first snowfall, Chi Zhengzheng received a message from Wen Sisi.

She said she had found a job in a new city, and that she was a little uncomfortable working for the first time, but was also trying to adapt.

When she saw the message, Chi Zhengzheng glanced at Wen Yu who was working in the office, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

– This time, in the original novel, was probably when Wen Sisi committed suicide.

– But the reality had successfully changed.

“What are you happy about?” Wen Yu looked up and saw her smiling, so he asked.

Chi Zhengzheng shook her head: “It’s nothing, I’m just happy.”

The Wen Sisi’s ending had changed, the Chi family had been hit hard but they still existed, the Wen family had also received their retribution and left the city, and the content she had seen could be changed.

So Wen Yu, the “CP-free” male lead, could also have love.

Wen Yu smiled, the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

He reached out and pulled up Chi Zhengzheng: “Let’s go, go downstairs to eat.”

“Oh, wait a minute! I haven’t finished translating yet! I have to give it in tonight!” Chi Zhengzheng exclaimed.

Wen Yu: “Then don’t hand it in.”

Chi Zhengzheng glared: “I’ll lose money!”

Wen Yu: “Then just lose it.”

Chi Zhengzheng: “It’s easy for you to say. This is a matter of professional ethics. Forget it, I will work again after eating.” It was just eleven o’clock and the chef had just arrived.

“Zhengzheng, you don’t have to work so hard.” Wen Yu sounded helpless.

“It isn’t hard work, I’m quite free, I arrange the time by myself. I will have to go out to work after the New Year. It will be true then…”

Wen Yu stopped in his tracks.

Chi Zhengzheng also followed and stopped, turning her head to look at him: “Why don’t you walk?”

“Going out to work?” Wen Yu looked at her and murmured.

Chi Zhengzheng nodded and planned with her fingers: “Yeah, I’ve got it all figured out, I’ll go do simultaneous translation first, then I’ll…”

Wen Yu’s lips were pursed all of a sudden, after a while, he said: “Zhengzheng, can you not go?”

“Why can’t I go? I should have a job too.” Chi Zhengzheng tilted her head to look at Wen Yu with surprise on her face.

Wen Yu didn’t say anything, he just pursed his lips.

Chi Zhengzheng frowned with a serious expression: “Wen Yu, I also need to have a job, not only for the income but also to enrich my life, I can’t always stay at home.”

Wen Yu didn’t understand: “Isn’t it good staying at home? I can see you every day, and you can see me every day.”

“I will commute to work, we will also be together every day.” Chi Zhengzheng looked back at him seriously, her eyes equally puzzled.

Wen Yu fell silent again, and only after a while did he say: “That’s not the same.”

“How is it different?” Chi Zhengzheng was stubborn.

Wen Yu stopped talking.

Chi Zhengzheng looked at him as always, but also didn’t say anything stubbornly.

They froze in place for a while.

“Zhengzheng, how about not going?” In the end, Wen Yu spoke first, stretched out his hands, and hugged her into his arms. “Just stay by my side, I’ll support you and give you everything.”

Chi Zhengzheng pulled away from his hands, broke free from his embrace, and looked him in the eyes: “Not like this, I’m not a canary, you can’t keep me at home and control everything I do.”

“I care about you…”

“I know you care about me, but won’t work if we go on like this.” Chi Zhengzheng looked at him with unprecedented stubbornness. “I should also have my own space, I can’t do nothing, then I’ll be very unhappy.”

The two stared at each other, once again, they were frozen in place.

After a while, Wen Yu took a deep breath and exhaled gently.

And then, he pulled the corner of his mouth and coaxed her in a low voice: “Okay, if you want to go, then go.”

Chi Zhengzheng’s eyes were suspicious: “Is that what you really think? Are you willing for me to go to work?”

“Hmm, I’m willing.” Wen Yu hugged her again, her face buried in his chest, unable to see the rough waves in his eyes: “Although I can’t bear it, I will try to support you and make you happy.”

Chi Zhengzheng revealed a smile and hugged him tightly, rubbed against him, and said sweetly: “Wen Yu! You’re so nice!”

Wen Yu’s hand tightened and didn’t say anything.

The arrival of the New Year meant the arrival of a new year.

This was the first time that Wen Yu and Chi Zhengzheng were spending the New Year together, and both of them took it very seriously.

“Zhengzheng, you’re up. Didn’t we agree yesterday that we would go shopping for New Year’s goods today?” Wen Yu reached out and picked Chi Zhengzheng out of the quilt.

Chi Zhengzheng slept very soundly, after Wen Yu shouted twice more, she finally opened her eyes: “Uhm… what time is it?”

“It’s ten o’clock.” Wen Yu replied, putting on her clothes.

Although there was heating at home, he still always put on a jacket for her.

“So late?” Chi Zhengzheng was startled and struggled to get down from Wen Yu’s arms.

“Yes, get up and have some breakfast, I’ll go down and wait for you first.” Wen Yu laughed.

“Okay!” Chi Zhengzheng responded while putting on her shoes.

Wen Yu shook his head helplessly and went downstairs.

Chi Zhengzheng put on her shoes and stood up abruptly, but her eyes went black and she fell onto the bed again.

She blinked her eyes and shook her head, and her eyes were clear again.

“Strange, why did I faint a little? Is it low blood sugar?” She murmured.

Then she stood up again, this time, there was nothing wrong, she knocked her head, didn’t take it to heart, and went into the bathroom to wash up.
