Chapter 206: A Dirty Mind
Chapter 206
Why would it be so completely different?
No matter how Zhao Runze thought about it, he couldn't figure it out. Could there be others who have also awakened their memories, which is why it has affected the normal trajectory of their lives?
Zhao Runze also thought back to that girl from 4 years ago. As she threw away that piece of paper, there seemed to be a thick notebook in her hand.
He had never thought carefully about these things before, and more often he would fantasize about when the girl from his memories walked towards him, how he would guide her to avoid those painful experiences.
He didn't even dare go find her, afraid that he might inadvertently change something that would affect the development between them.
But things did not go as smoothly as he had waited for, which made Zhao Runze very sad.
...
The weather these past few days has been sunny one moment and cloudy the next, with rain that would start pouring without warning.
Zhou Nan had just left with the two children when the door was pushed open again.
"Second brother, I already said you don't need to accompany me..." Knowingly turned her head in exasperation, but upon seeing the man enter, her tone changed complicatedly, "What are you doing here?"
"I...I just wanted to come..." To see her. But in what capacity could he say those words?
Zhao Runze switched topics dejectedly, "Sorry, Comrade An, although I truly did not intend to pester you, after thinking it over, I still feel that I should give you something."
As he spoke, he handed over the envelope in his hand.
Knowingly hesitated for a long time before taking the envelope from his outstretched hand, full of doubts, "What is it?"
"You can open it and see." Zhao Runze's eyes revealed longing.
Knowingly opened the envelope. Inside was a piece of paper, not stationery, but seemingly ripped from a notebook, with very heavy crease marks and a strong worn look, yet you could also see that it had been carefully protected.
She looked at the handwriting on the envelope, and her heart tightened.
She recognized An Meiyun's handwriting with one glance, but the contents of the letter...were things that happened in the first lifetime?
An Meixia's beloved was Zhao Runze?
She didn't know any of this. In all those years following An Meiyun, she had never heard her mention someone like this before.
Wasn't An Meixia married to Pei Jianguo in her first life? How did this Zhao Runze pop up?
Knowingly smiled calmly on the surface despite her doubts, "Who are Zhao Runze and An Meixia? And what do they have to do with me? Why are you giving this to me?"
"Zhao Runze is..." me.
He hadn't gotten the words out when someone entered from the doorway.
"Knowingly..." Pei Jing's tired voice was tinged with joy, but unexpectedly, the first thing that met his eye wasn't the wife he had been missing, but a tall man.
When the man turned around, his expression was panicked, his eye sockets sunken, looking flustered and haggard.
"You're back..." In contrast, Knowingly was delighted, stepping forward lively to take his hand.
She actually really wanted to hug him, if not for her bulging belly getting in the way.
The gentleness in Pei Jing's brows and eyes was completely tender. His thumb rubbed the back of her hand for a moment, signaling they weren't alone.
"This is...?" Pei Jing looked at Zhao Runze in puzzlement as he asked.
"Comrade, hello, I am..." His gaze subconsciously darted to Knowingly, but saw that she wasn't paying attention at all here, her eyes completely on the man before her who seemed imposing. "I'm Zhao Runze, a teacher at Hongxing Elementary School."
The pain in the depths of his eyes could not be suppressed, along with...unwillingness!
Seeing that Zhao Runze was just standing there not moving, Knowingly made introductions, "Comrade Zhao, this is...the father of my five children."
Regardless of how things were in their previous life, she would soon be the mother of five children in this life, living a happy and smooth life, and had no desire for any changes.
Zhao Runze could hear the implied meaning in her words.
So she wasn't truly unable to guess anything, was she?
Or perhaps those memories weren't only his alone, it was just that in the end he had disappointed her, so she chose a different path in this life.
Otherwise, how else to explain that those things which should have followed the original trajectory had changed slightly?
"Congratulations to you both." Zhao Runze gazed at Knowingly's belly, obviously preoccupied. "I still have things to do, so I'll take my leave first."
His footsteps staggered as he beat a hasty retreat, clearly fleeing in distress.
After he went out the door, Pei Jing went to close it, staring pensively at Zhao Runze's retreating back for a while.
When he turned back, he was still his taciturn self, "Who was that person? Someone you just met?"
Pei Jing's own state wasn't actually too great either. He had just gotten off the train, dropped off his luggage at home, hurriedly asked for this address, and rushed over without even showering or shaving his stubble.
But he had tremendous momentum, not appearing weak despite his dishevelment, instead exuding an oppressive aura that made people unconsciously overlook his messy state.
"Can't say we know each other. Just ran into him twice at the hospital. He's probably a patient." In Knowingly's hand was still that piece of paper which she had already stored away into her space.
Pei Jing didn't ask further. He walked over and picked her up to sit her on the bed. She nestled into his embrace, rough palms stroking her belly through her clothes. "Is baby being good in your tummy? Were Chengye and Wanqing troublesome? And you, how have you been these days?"
Knowingly circled her arms around his neck, her ten fingers clasping together tightly. "The rest has been fine, it's just that they start brawling in my belly every night as soon as its late, keeping me from sleeping well. Chengye and Wanqing haven't been home much, coming and going between both sides since Dad and grandparents have been fighting over who gets to bring them out." Knowingly's tone paused for a bit, her eyes bright with a trace of a smile, "I just missed you."
With beauty laid out before him, Pei Jing's broad palm braced her slender neck as he kissed her. The nimble kiss was tentative at first, gentle caresses grinding and nibbling until she showed slight arousal before his tongue plunged in relentlessly tangling.
Her breath was gradually taken away. Knowingly gave a soft moan as her fair fingers likewise probed into his heavy clothes.
As Pei Jing's reason gradually returned, he was reluctant to part from her, nestling his chin on her shoulder as he slowly calmed himself.
When An Zhiren came to the hospital room, the door was shut.
He pushed at it but it didn't open.
"Knowingly...Knowingly..." He called out twice but no one inside responded. He muttered under his breath puzzedly, "What's going on? They even locked it?"
Not realizing that Knowingly had truly been frightened badly.
She was currently still held in Pei Jing's embrace, the two's posture intimate. Lips parted slightly, eyes and brows still carrying traces of passion, even her earlobes flushed red.
Pei Jing on the other hand looked normal on the surface, if one could ignore that aggressive weapon below.
"Hold on..." Pei Jing's tone after arousal was slightly hoarse. Impatient, he yelled at the doorway, "Just wait..."
Bowing his head back down, he was once again tender and loving, calmly setting Knowingly back down and tidying both their clothes.
Fortunately his cotton overcoat was long enough that when let down, it could completely obscure anything unusual below.
Knowingly also patted her cheeks, doing her utmost to make herself look more normal.
An Zhiren was already over 20 himself, naturally not some ignorant youngster who knew nothing.
When the door opened and he first walked in, the first thing he saw was his little sister's face, still flushed despite her attempts to stay calm.
Like a rainbow after rain, dazzling and colorful.
In contrast, the old man Pei Jing looked normal, nonchalantly turning to pour water. "These days, thanks for taking care of Knowingly. I'll be with her from now on so you can relax a bit more."
"No trouble at all. As her older brother, isn't taking care of my little sister only natural?" An Zhiren gave a refined laugh. As he drew near Pei Jing however, his face changed. "I'm saying, do you even act human? When her belly's this big you still have the nerve to make a move? Aren't you afraid something will happen?"
Pei Jing shot him an icy glare. "Put away your filthy thoughts."
In the past there was a difference in seniority between them that he could pull, but things were different now. With his mother-in-law as Knowingly's birth mother, he truly wasn't afraid of Pei Jing anymore.
Not lacking in nerve, his tone even carried some teasing. "Yes, yes, I'm the filthy one while you're clearly not when you already have a whole pile of kids."
