After swimming and having a sumptuous meal, Gu Shishi went into seclusion.
She stared blankly at the drawing paper on the table and tried to draw lines repeatedly …
Her inner nature as a homebody was completely revealed at this moment.
Even when Huo Sishen entered the room, she was still in a daze. She held the paintbrush in her hand and started to draw subconsciously. Various compositions flashed through her mind, but she rejected them all.
She was so focused that Huo Sishen did not disturb her. He sat quietly on the sofa and looked at the minutes of the company's meetings on his cell phone.
He was only interrupted when Gu Shishi's cell phone alarm rang.
"Ah, it's already 11 o 'clock!"
Gu Shishi scratched her head.
She was devastated!
"I haven't even thought of a small hill yet!"
There were tens of thousands of hills. It was not easy to find the one that shocked the big shots!
Huo Sishen got up and stood behind her to take a look.
He raised his eyebrows slightly.
Yes. It was indeed not as imposing as the "Shadow of the Mountains" that she had given him.
"Is this the work you're going to send to the exchange meeting?"
It was said that the works sent to the exchange meeting would be kept at the association for the younger generation to admire and learn from.
"Yes."
Gu Shishi scratched her head with her paintbrush.
"I can't let myself be satisfied."
She wanted to try to break through!
"It's already not bad."
Huo Sishen furrowed his eyebrows.
When he thought of the fact that someone else had collected her work, he … felt that he should just draw casually!
However, his little wife had her own goals. She wanted to be perfect.
He could only support her.
He wondered if the association would give him a painting if they received donations.
It was worth a try.
Huo Sishen looked down and thought for a while.
"Aye, I'm going to bed first."
Gu Shishi looked at the alarm clock and decided to give up for the time being.
She had to prepare for pregnancy and get rid of her bad habit of staying up late.
She had to go to bed at 11 o 'clock and turn off the lights!
As she thought about it, she decided to make a decision. She elegantly washed the paintbrush in clean water and poured the murky water into the bathroom. In less than half a minute, she was lying flat on the bed at lightning speed.
"Turn off the lights, Huo Baba."
Huo Sishen: "…"
The person who usually flipped through a few pages of comic books in bed had changed today.
However, Gu Shishi had already patted the empty space on the other side of the bed. "We have to sleep early and wake up early. There will always be overtime. Life is a long-distance race, not a 100-meter sprint. Let's think about the long term and take good care of our bodies. "
She really couldn't bring herself to say that giving birth to a baby would nourish her body.
Sigh.
She was a little shy.
After all, giving birth to a baby was related to something indescribable …
Since she did not mention it, Huo Sishen did not link it to the child. He thought that she was only concerned about his health.
It was only a few days later that he realized something was wrong.
Because he was in a remote meeting, he was having lunch alone in his study.
But Qin Ruhai happened to come.
As soon as he arrived, he found a chair and sat down.
Checking on the patients' meals was also one of the family doctors' jobs.
In particular, a certain patient was picky about food and did not like vegetables.
Qin Ruhai paid special attention to it this time.
What he saw gave him a fright.
"Yo, Boss, you're quite fast. Third base has just been hit and you're already thinking about what to do next. "
At this moment, Qin Ruhai felt that he could not help but be impressed.
Huo Sishen could not be bothered with him.
But his disregard did not stop Qin Ruhai from thinking about other things.
It was rare that Qin Ruhai got it right this time.
"Big Brother, why did you suddenly think it through? Hehe, do you want a boy or a girl? "
He had to admit that he was addicted to watching the drama.
Even if Huo Sishen ignored him, he was still very interested in watching the drama.
"It's not bad to have a boy like you and a girl like Sister-in-law. At the same time, she will inherit your artistic and scientific mind and be beautiful like Sister-in-law."
Huo Sishen's handsome face suddenly darkened. "I don't have time to listen to your nonsense."
Qin Ruhai knew that he did not want him to continue talking.
He pretended not to hear him.
"Since you want a child, you have to adjust your schedule. Stop taking all your medicine. Don't take it anymore. Stop taking your medicine for at least half a year, understand? "
Huo Sishen raised his eyebrows.
He had stopped taking his medicine a long time ago.
Continue taking medicine when he realized that it was useless?
He was not a fool.
But —
"There's no such thing."
He came to a conclusion without hesitation.
"We don't need a child for the time being."
His tone was very certain.
Qin Ruhai was stunned and looked at the composition of the lunch in front of him.
"Ha, you don't mean what you say."
He took out his phone and flipped to the popular science article written by his sister.
"Look, the second recipe recommendation. Isn't it your lunch today?"
Huo Sishen glanced at it.
His thin lips immediately pursed.
From the vegetables to the beef, it was exactly the same. Even the rice was sprinkled with sesame seeds.
It was exactly the same …
The scenes of the girl going to bed early, exercising, and adjusting her diet suddenly floated in his mind.
She wanted a child?
A child that would carry on their bloodline, look like her, and have a soft voice …
Instantly, his chest rose and fell softly.
However, Huo Sishen lowered his dark eyes and closed the laptop screen.
"You know, I'm not suitable to have a child."
Qin Ruhai was stunned. "Who said that?"
"At least for now, you're not suitable."
How could a person who carried the legend of misfortune give a child a stable and happy environment to grow up in?
Even Chu Chu, who was already five years old at that time, was in incomparable pain because of him.
"As a family doctor, you have the responsibility to inform your client."
Huo Sishen looked up.
Qin Ruhai was dumbfounded.
He really did not know!
Inform what?
Well, this person had gone into a dead end again!
Ten minutes later, Qin Ruhai helplessly went to see Gu Shishi, who was adjusting the ink concentration in the room next door.
His opening statement was very direct.
"I'm sorry, sister-in-law, the person next door has fallen ill again."
Gu Shishi, who was engrossed in her painting, was stunned when she heard this.
"How can that be? He was fine last night. "
Speaking of this, her face was a little red.
Because of a certain posture, she went to bed five minutes late last night. Cough.
The big boss was quite brave.
She did not see any problem with him!
Qin Ruhai sighed. In simple words, he repeated the problem he encountered next door and explained his point of view.
"Because of the trauma of his youth, he rejects the memories of his childhood and may have some difficulties in accepting children."
"You know, at that time, he was the eldest brother who looked after his younger sister-in-law. After that incident, their previous intimate relationship was overturned overnight. He may have subconsciously felt indebted to them."
Gu Shishi was stunned. "You're saying that he's afraid of children and doesn't want children?"
She did not hear the last few words at all.
She was directly shocked by the opening statement.
Fortunately, she did not say it out loud these few days. She had been secretly preparing for it.
Otherwise, wouldn't they have quarreled after their wedding?
Qin Ruhai scratched his head. "Let's put it this way. His way of thinking is not something we can think of from a normal person's point of view."
"But one thing is for sure. He once saw the two siblings, Huo Wencheng and Huo Chuchu, from infancy to childhood, and even the entire process of adulthood. And when a family has no elders, the eldest brother is like a father. "
Gu Shishi opened her mouth.
"So, when they grew up the wrong way, it caused some negative psychological effects on him?"
Qin Ruhai shook his head and nodded. "These more or less became a burden for him. Subconsciously, he felt guilty. Because of him, Huo Chuchu, a good girl, rebelled when she was young. This caused her studies, friendships, and relationships to not go well. "
"As for Huo Wencheng … he's also a crooked person."
Qin Ruhai did not like this person.
"As the eldest brother in the family after their father and grandfather died, he felt that he should take responsibility. However, he did not have the opportunity to teach them at that time. When they grew up the wrong way, there was nothing he could do.
"So, if he wanted to have a child, it might be a very difficult decision for him. He might be afraid that he would ruin another person's life, and it might be his own flesh and blood … Hey, sister-in-law, what's wrong with you?! Why are you crying? Don't cry! "
Qin Ruhai raised his head halfway through his sentence.
He was instantly shocked by the girl who was crying in front of him.
"Boohoo, I can't help it. I'm sorry."
Gu Shishi's tears seemed to have opened the floodgates.
"Hmm … these are not his fault. If he wants to take responsibility for them, they should give him a chance!"
They were the ones who pushed him far away.
In the end, he felt that he did not fulfill his responsibility as their eldest brother. He did not teach them well.
Was that why he destroyed two children who were once perfect and had endless possibilities?
Was that why he felt that he had let down his late father and grandfather?
Was that why he was afraid when he became a father? He was afraid that he would not be able to do well this time? That he would become an outstanding and responsible father?
Boohoo, oh my god, what kind of responsible and good man was this?!
"I can't take it anymore. I'll cry for a while before I listen to you. Give me five minutes … Why is my boss so pitiful?"
Gu Shishi's tears could not stop.
She could not control her emotions at all.
Just imagining the scene of her boss's childhood made her feel so heartbroken that she could not breathe. She could not control her tears.
It was his mother and grandmother who pushed him away as a scourge. It was Huo Wencheng who was afraid of his older brother and became more selfish as he grew up. It was Huo Chuchu who chose the wrong way to work hard and attacked each other with a rebellious double-edged sword …
He was the one who was chased away. Yet, he watched silently and blamed himself for their failure?!
"This … Alright, go ahead and cry."
Qin Ruhai was dumbfounded.
Gu Shishi said that she would cry for five minutes, so she meant it.
When the time was up, although she was still sobbing, she tried her best to hold back her tears and clenched her fists tightly.
"Doctor Qin, tell me, how can I help him?!"
Like a small beast protecting its territory, it looked up at him seriously.
Qin Ruhai was stunned.
His heart was on the verge of collapsing at this moment.
In fact, as a family doctor, he had lost his rationality.
What was it that made a man who locked himself up walk out of a dark room?
It was because he had a girl who would cry for him and work hard for him!
At this moment, as a man, he was both envious and moved.
But more than that, he was happy.
"Thank you, sister-in-law. Many of the patients' relatives would involuntarily show signs of fear, avoidance, or even giving up when I talk about their conditions. "
But she did not.
Many people did not want help. They just wanted someone to support them.
No matter what happened now or in the future, there was someone who would always stand behind them.
That was enough.
Qin Ruhai smiled. "I'll go back today and prepare a red packet for the one-month-old celebration in advance."
Not only did that man have a reliable support, but he also had a beautiful wife who was willing to pull him forward.
This was a treatment method that was more effective than any medicine or any doctor!
Gu Shishi blushed instantly. "It's not set in stone yet. I'll take a look at the counseling book you sent me today."
"Okay! Tonight, I'll excerpt a few important and possibly useful passages and send them to you. "
