JJ – Chapter 30

Jian Ci did not quite understand why Zhou Bai could never find an appropriate timing to discuss “major life events”.

Just like the incident that happened the day before, not only did he ask Jian Ci if he felt uncomfortable, he even asked if he experienced any unfortunate events… was he worried that Jian Ci would die of a sudden death?

Let’s not talk about these for the time being.

Holding a wedding ceremony… A wedding ceremony… He would actually be receiving gift money instead of giving gift money for his first ever wedding ceremony, and the number of guests invited by the Jian and Zhou family would not be meager as well. He was a little nervous and at a loss. 

This was his first marriage, but it was Zhou Bai’s third.

Jian Ci was relieved at this thought — with an old-hand leading the way, he felt assured.

It was not clear whether or not Zhou Bai was freeing up his time for the wedding and vacation, but he was exceptionally busy these two months, going on frequent and long business trips. Jian Ci did not get to see him often and even if he did, they spoke no more than twenty words.

It was as if they were in a long-distance relationship, mostly communicating through their phones, and there was no “romance” in their conversations at all. Their exchange was as plain as boiled water. 

For example:

— Go for a tuxedo fit at nine in the morning tomorrow, alter it if it doesn’t fit.

— Okay. Is it hailing there? I watched the news and they said the hailstones were as big as eggs. 

— [hailstone.jpg]

— Oh, quail eggs.

— Working overtime again today?

— Mm, I’m almost done and going home soon.

— I’ll ask Xiao Li to pick you up.

— It’s okay, I’ll just book a cab via the app.

— [Article: Breaking news! Cabby robs passenger! Thorough investigation found loopholes in taxi booking apps!]

— =_=|||

— Xiao Li will arrive at your company’s lobby in five minutes. 

— Oh…

Subsequently, Zhou Bai finally returned two days before the wedding.

Under the lead of the old-hand, Jian Ci clumsily put on his wedding tux.

  1. Even If their texts are not romantic, they show the big affection they share. They care for each other. It’s up to Zhou Bai to change their dynamics… Maybe in their wedding night?

    Thanks for the chapter!
