Chapter 1934 Each Has Its Own Way of Getting Along
Zhou Yunxiao glanced at Shen Xi walking ahead, not daring to get closer. If he did, she would start showing off her husband to him, and the thing is, he actually got caught up in her showing off.
Then look at Lu Jun and Wen Jing behind them. This pair of people are like conjoined twins, oblivious to everyone else, sticking together like glue. There seems to be some kind of barrier around them, preventing others from getting close. Moreover, the barrier is pink and keeps emitting pink bubbles.
How infuriating is that?
As if everyone else is single, Zhou Yunxiao is a married man, isn't he?
In the busiest night market in Hecheng, amidst the endless stream of people and lively vendors' cries, Zhou Yunxiao suddenly realized what loneliness truly meant.
He took out his phone, found Ji Shucan's number, hesitated for a long time, and couldn't decide whether to dial it.
He seemed to be looking for her for no reason, yet he wanted to talk to her. This damn complicated feeling...
"If you want to fight, then fight."
When the pleasant voice rang in his ears, Zhou Yunxiao almost jumped up.
"Sister-in-law! When did you arrive?"
Wasn't she just squeezed into the rice cake stall, watching people pound the rice cakes?
Shen Xi smiled and said, "Old Zhou, you're a master at love, you can win over women with ease, what are you afraid of?"
Zhou Yunxiao put his phone back in his pocket: "I'm not afraid at all. I'm just worried that I might disturb her work."
"Is Judge Ji still working so late?"
"Yes, she's a workaholic and doesn't know how to take care of her health at all." Zhou Yunxiao didn't even realize the concern in his tone.
The sheer volume of work at the grassroots courts is unimaginable.
Since arriving in Qing City, Ji Shucan has basically had no rest; weekends are just for show.
There may not be many major cases, but there are always small cases, and many of them are trivial. They don't differentiate between them very finely, and when there are not enough people, everyone has to fill in.
They have to visit rural areas from time to time, keeping them extremely busy.
He often called her at night, but she was either in a meeting or had work to do, and several times she was at a fellow villager's house.
Working themselves to the bone for little pay, most people would have quit long ago, but Ji Shucan wouldn't.
She will feel like she's in her comfort zone.
She particularly enjoys her current life; she's always busy and fulfilled, and has plenty of energy for everything she does.
She also told Zhou Yunxiao that she was glad she had been assigned to a grassroots position.
She used to think that coming to Hecheng meant going to the grassroots level, but now she realizes that our country is very big and has many different places. The task of popularizing legal knowledge in underdeveloped areas is arduous and long-term, but she likes it this way.
"Luckily we got married, otherwise I would never have had the chance to come here in my life."
She was even glad she'd gone ahead with it. What could Zhou Yunxiao say? This was actually one of the benefits of marrying him; she hadn't expected it.
He has a wife who is extremely career-oriented and devoted to her work. All he can do is offer his support. After several phone calls disturbed her work, he's even become hesitant to call her anymore.
When Shen Xi asked him, he hesitated for a moment, but still told her about his current situation with Ji Shucan.
Shen Xi remained silent.
"Old Zhou, this isn't right."
"How to say?"
“You two are husband and wife, how is that disturbing? You're just showing concern.”
Oh?
“If you call her and she’s busy, just tell her to get some rest. If she’s not busy, you can chat. Isn’t that great? Why are you acting like you’re not even close?”
Zhou Yunxiao muttered, "We weren't that familiar to begin with."
Shen Xi laughed: "So this is a woman's lament?" The resentment was overwhelming.
He glared at her, annoyed: "All you do is spout nonsense all day long."
Haha, the two looked at each other and laughed. Zhou Yunxiao said, "Let's go, didn't we say we wanted to go to the night market?"
Aren't you going to make a phone call?
"So I'll fight now, so you can watch the show?"
Wow, that's clever.
Shen Xi continued browsing with great regret.
Since the government started trying every means to revitalize the economy, night markets have become increasingly prosperous, and I heard that many residential buildings have set up stalls there.
Not to mention this busiest night market street in Hecheng, where you can find everything from food and drinks to entertainment and clothing.
Not only do locals love to stroll around here at night, but tourists also consider it one of the must-visit spots in Hecheng, with an astonishing daily flow of people.
Tonight was no different; everywhere was packed with people, shoulder to shoulder, but Shen Xi really enjoyed this lively atmosphere.
Crowded places always give people a sense of prosperity, just like watching 7 pm, which makes you feel great, the future is bright, and life is full of hope.
There were so many things, and she wanted to buy everything she saw. In less than fifty meters, Zhou Yunxiao's hands were already full of all sorts of things, including pastries, snacks, toys, hair clips, and so on, all for Caibao.
Regardless of the circumstances, it's really unethical of this unscrupulous couple to trick their daughter into going out for barbecue.
Now that the barbecue was over, Shen Xi's dwindling conscience led her to decide to buy some things to take home to appease her daughter, so she wouldn't feel guilty if she did it again next time.
Zhou Yunxiao was very good at coaxing women, whether they were eighty years old or three years old. He accompanied Shen Xi on her shopping spree and even helped her pick out various jewelry.
"This is good, it's pink and sparkly, Sister Caibao will definitely like it."
Shen Xi disagreed.
"She doesn't seem to like pink; she prefers red."
Sister Caibao's aesthetic sense is quite... bright red, purple, and green; the more vibrant the color, the better she likes it.
As for cute pink and blue, she commented: boring.
Red, yellow, green, and purple are still the most exciting.
I don't understand why a child like her needs so much energy. Besides, what's so great about jewelry or clothes?
Shen Xi didn't understand, but respected, and always bought things according to Cai Bao's preferences.
Zhou Yunxiao watched as Shen Xi picked up a bright red hair accessory and was speechless.
"Sister-in-law, are you sure Sister Caibao will like such a bright color?"
"Definitely and definitely."
"Ok."
"That purple one looks nice too, I'll have one."
Zhou Yunxiao was numb.
How come his son, Ah Chuan, with such high aesthetic standards, gave birth to such a down-to-earth child as Cai Bao Jie?
However, he goes along with whatever his sister-in-law says. His greatest virtues are his respect for women and his excellent temper and patience.
"You know what, bright red and green are the best colors. They're the most eye-catching among all this stuff."
Very well, after less than half an hour of browsing, Zhou Yunxiao's refined taste has been swayed, and now he's—
"Sister-in-law, this one is really eye-catching!"
Not only is it bright red, but it's also studded with fake diamonds, sparkling so brightly they could blind his dog eyes.
Yes, Shen Xi also thinks Caibao will like this, let's get it!
Of course, Zhou Yunxiao paid the money; she couldn't take it from him.
So they strolled around and bought things along the way. Soon Zhou Yunxiao was carrying a lot of things. After walking for almost half a street, a commotion suddenly came from ahead.
