Just Sit Quietly Beside Me

Ji En walked out of the dressing room and saw Ji Aier sitting on the sofa with her eyes closed. At that moment, he felt his heart stop beating.

"Aier," he rushed over and shook Ji Aier.

"Ji En, what's wrong?" Ji Aier, who had fallen asleep unconsciously on the sofa, woke up immediately when shaken by Ji En, thinking something had happened.

Ji En pulled Ji Aier, who opened her eyes and looked at him in confusion, into his arms and held her tightly. At that moment, he clearly understood that he had become so fragile that he couldn't face the possibility of losing Ji Aier again.

"Did you think I fell asleep again?" Ji Aier asked, leaning in Ji En's arms. Because of the strength with which he was holding her, it was as if he was afraid she would run away again.

Ji En didn't say anything and still didn't seem to want to let go. Just now, he really thought she had fallen asleep again, just like ten years ago, lying there with her eyes closed quietly. The anticipation every day that she would wake up, as if it was time to wake up when the day came, but every day ended in the same disappointment. For a while, he even doubted whether his soul still existed. He lived and worked like a walking corpse. The only things that made him think he still had to live well were seeing Ji Minze every time and Ji Aier, who was lying in the hospital bed so quietly that she almost had no signs of life.

"I won't leave you and Minze again!" Ji Aier said to Ji En. This was her promise to him. In the future, she would take good care of herself and protect herself.

Ji En let go of Ji Aier and imprinted his mark on her lips.

"I... I... haven't... taken a bath yet!" Ji Aier pushed Ji En a little awkwardly. Although she had taken a bath once when they came back in the afternoon, she still felt the smell of medicine on her body. Plus, she was sweaty after walking around for so long in the evening.

"I don't mind!" Ji En looked up and said.

"I do!" Taking this opportunity, Ji Aier pushed Ji En and walked into the bathroom. She raised her hand and smelled herself. She thought the smell of medicine and sweat was so strong, yet Ji En actually said he didn't mind. "It stinks!" Actually, because Ji Aier had stayed in the hospital for a long time, she had become very sensitive to smells.

When Ji Aier walked out of the bathroom, she saw Ji En looking at some documents.

She just sat quietly beside him.

"Sorry, I have an important meeting tomorrow morning!" Ji En looked up and gave her an apologetic smile.

"No need to say sorry. It shows that my husband is very responsible at work!" Ji Aier said with a smile. This was the first time she called Ji En "husband", and it came out very smoothly!

Ji En looked at her, and the smile on his face became even wider. The first time he heard her call him "husband" felt really good!

"Do you want some milk? I'll go get it for you!" Ji Aier thought he might stay up late, so she wanted to make him a cup of milk to help him sleep later.

"No need!" Ji En grabbed her and said, "Just sit here with me!" Originally, he wanted her to go to rest early, but he was worried that she would fall asleep and not wake up. Sometimes he felt as fragile and willful as a child.
