Han Jiaojiao released his hand and said, “Even though it doesn’t affect your daily life right now, it’s still an illness. You should get it treated as soon as possible.”
“Yeah, I’ve booked an appointment with a doctor next Tuesday. If nothing unexpected happens, I’ll have surgery.”
“Surgery? Who told you that you need surgery? Chen Xiaoying?”
“How did you know?”
So that’s it!
That doctor in the provincial capital—Chen Xiaoying was the one who told Shen Junshan about him.
She was probably trying to use this favor to get closer to Shen Junshan. If she really managed to cure his eyes, maybe she could get Shen Junshan to divorce her and marry Chen Xiaoying instead.
What a well-played scheme!
But based on her judgment, Shen Junshan’s eyes still needed to be observed for a while longer. He couldn’t have surgery right away.
The county hospital probably didn’t even have the facilities to operate on him.
Technology was one thing, but sanitary conditions were another. Maybe the surgery would fail due to infection.
She thought back to that dream.
She’d previously assumed it was just “you dream at night what you think about during the day,” but now it seemed that after her rebirth, heaven had given her an extra Waigua.
Something like the ability to have prophetic dreams.
If that were really the case, she absolutely couldn’t let him go.
“I’m going to Wanshi on Tuesday. Honey, will you come with me?”
“What?”
“I want to go to Wanshi—the one at the west end. They sell all sorts of things there.”
Shen Junshan’s face immediately fell.
He knew about the Wanshi at the west end. Even a grown man like him wouldn’t want to go to that place where all sorts of shady characters mixed, unless it was absolutely necessary.
Jiaojiao was so beautiful and so innocent—how could she go to such a filthy place?
“Honey…”
Han Jiaojiao stood on her tiptoes and wrapped her arms around his neck.
Her soft body pressed against his chest, her eyes full of sparkling stars.
“I want to go shopping. Will you come with me? I won’t make you accompany me for nothing—when we get back, I’ll cook you a big braised pork hock.”
“But I have that doctor’s appointment next Tuesday. This slot was really hard to get.”
“The doctor is hard to get, but is my chance to go shopping with you any less precious? If you dare abandon me, I’ll go find the young educated youth!”
“Jiaojiao…”
“I don’t care, I don’t care, I don’t care! If you don’t come shopping with me, I’ll elope with the young educated youth!”
Faced with Han Jiaojiao’s unreasonable tantrum, Shen Junshan suddenly felt reassured. All his doubts about her over this period dissipated like smoke.
But he’d finally managed to book an appointment with a specialist from the provincial capital. If he didn’t go, he might never get another chance in his lifetime.
While Shen Junshan hesitated, Han Jiaojiao looked at him with tearful eyes, pitifully sniffing.
“You—you—you—you really don’t love me anymore! I’ll go find the young educated youth tonight while you’re asleep. Don’t you dare regret it!”
“Jiaojiao!”
Shen Junshan rubbed his temples.
Thinking of her running wildly behind the educated youth’s bicycle, he suddenly felt a headache coming on.
Compared to that, his eyes occasionally not opening was a minor matter.
“Fine, I’ll go shopping with you on Tuesday. I won’t go to the hospital.”
“Honey is the best! Honey is the most handsome man in the whole world!”
With that, she beamed with joy and threw herself onto him, planting two firm kisses on his cheek.
Feeling it wasn’t enough, she kissed his left cheek twice more.
Not only was the handsome man good-looking, but his skin also felt wonderful to the touch.
Her barrage of flattery truly turned Shen Junshan pink all over.
Han Jiaojiao pursed her lips and smiled like a little sun.
Completely ignoring Han Fang, who stood nearby, dumbfounded.
Shen Junshan was dizzy from her kisses, and only managed to escape to take a shower when Han Jiaojiao finally put away her lovesick expression.
Shen Junshan was a man of his word, especially when it came to the original owner of this body.
Since he had agreed not to go to the doctor, he certainly wouldn’t go back on his word.
But Chen Xiaoying had drawn a blank—she’d gone to all that trouble for nothing. He wondered what expression she’d have when she heard the news tomorrow.
“How interesting. Very interesting!”
“Sis, your smile is terrifying…”
“Hehe, A Fang, tomorrow morning I’ll make you some shredded pork noodles. Do well on your exam—I believe in you.”
The next morning, Shen Junshan woke with a start to find it was already seven o’clock. He bolted upright in bed, startled, and saw a new shirt and a new pair of socks laid out on the bedside table.
He knew these weren’t his clothes, but since they were placed there, they must be for him to wear.
Shen Junshan was puzzled for a moment, but he put the clothes on anyway. When he walked out of the room, he heard a pleasant voice.
“Good morning, honey! I turned off the alarm because I wanted you to sleep a little longer. Did you sleep well?”
“Very well…”
Han Jiaojiao was wearing a white cotton-linen long-sleeved top and a pair of black trousers with cinched ankles.
Though the outfit was simple, and he’d never seen anyone dressed quite like that before, she looked capable and lively overall, without losing any of her feminine charm.
She had pulled up half her hair into a little bun on top of her head, which added to her lively, adorable look.
From the moment he laid eyes on her, he couldn’t tear his gaze away.
How could she be so beautiful?
Shen Junshan felt like he was going crazy with happiness.
Han Jiaojiao had no idea what kind of storm was raging inside his heart.
She had bought clothes for everyone in the family, but not for herself.
Because she didn’t want to wear the old-lady style blouses with big red flowers on a green background, nor did she want to wear patched-up clothes, she could only pick out styles from the Kongjian.
One or two sets weren’t enough to rotate through, so she had to buy clothes for them every few days while pretending she’d bought some for herself too. That way, wearing new clothes together with everyone else wouldn’t arouse suspicion.
She smiled and said, “It’s my first time buying clothes, so I was worried they wouldn’t fit. I didn’t expect them to be just right.”
“You really bought these for me?” “If not for you, would I have bought them for A Fang? He couldn’t even fit into your clothes. Turn around and let me take another look.”
Shen Junshan turned around slowly.
He was 1.8 meters tall, with broad shoulders, firm muscles, and a well-defined silhouette. When he wore shirts and uniforms, he was absolutely captivating.
She stepped forward to help him adjust his clothes a little, taking the chance to sneak a feel of his muscles.
Shen Junshan inexplicably felt his mouth go dry.
Seeing that it was about time, she slung her bag over her shoulder and urged Han Fang: “Hurry up, don’t be late today.”
“I know, sis. You’re something else—it’s not even the college entrance exam. Do we really need the whole family to wear new clothes? You’re wasting money again.”
“Oh, I was actually planning to buy you a pair of sneakers, but since you say that, forget it.”
“I-I don’t want any sneakers! I’m a thrifty, good kid.”
Han Fang said that with his mouth, but his face was beaming with joy.
He was also clutching the aluminum lunchbox Han Jiaojiao had made for him that morning, holding it carefully against his chest.
“Honey, I’ve made your breakfast—it’s keeping warm on the stove. Help yourself. I’ll be taking A Fang to and from school today, so dinner will probably be a bit late. If you have work to do, go ahead and handle it.”
Han Jiaojiao had already stepped out the door when she turned back to remind him, “You can work, but don’t you dare fool around with other women.”
Shen Junshan felt happiness come too suddenly; it wasn’t until her figure had long disappeared that his senses gradually returned.
Shen Junshan murmured, “Jiaojiao, she’s getting stranger and stranger.”
