Chapter 10 Love Moon 010 "It should be...
"Information? What information?"
After saying that, He Chuyue took a breath and thought of the file that Xiao Zhiyan sent her when she woke up in the afternoon, which she had not had time to open yet.
Knowing the situation from her reaction, Xiao Zhiyan unbuckled his seat belt.
"In that case, let's talk after dinner."
"Okay." She opened her phone and found the document. "What do you want to eat?"
He Chuyue found a restaurant that she liked. After sitting down and looking at the menu, she realized that it was a restaurant with a complete range of pasta dishes. Remembering that today is the beginning of winter, I asked the person opposite me.
“Did you eat dumplings today?”
He nodded, "What about you?"
"I ate too." He Chuyue ordered what she wanted to eat and pushed it to Xiao Zhiyan.
The latter didn't touch the menu, but said to the waiter: "Same as her."
The meal was eaten in silence. He Chuyue finished the pumpkin porridge in four or five mouthfuls, while the porridge in Xiao Zhiyan's bowl seemed untouched.
Seeing her look, he naturally handed the one in his hand to her, "Do you want it?"
He Chuyue was stunned for a moment, then waved her hand: "I'm full."
She took out her phone and opened the document.
The signal was bad and the circle kept spinning. He Chuyue put it on the table and went to ask Xiao Zhiyan.
"The file you sent cannot be opened. What is the content?" He Chuyue clicked on the screen a few times after exiting the loading page. "I'll send you the electronic version of the prenuptial agreement."
"Okay." Xiao Zhiyan took the phone.
"The file contains my information and all my assets."
He Chuyue had already seen the densely packed text in the document. After listening to what Xiao Zhiyan said, she felt her pupils were shocked.
When will she see the hundreds of pages of documents?
Xiao Zhiyan: "There is a paper version of this document in the car."
He Chuyue's expression didn't improve much after she understood the implication of his words.
She thought it was just an auxiliary document and that she needed to hear the client's explanation. But who knew that the client had no intention of explaining at all, and the hundreds of pages of information were all he had to say.
After imagining flipping through a thick paper document, He Chuyue decided to give it up.
Just as she was about to say something, their eyes met and the latter was staring at her straight in the eye.
The air was stagnant for a few seconds, and He Chuyue was the first to look away, hurriedly picking up the phone.
This person's style of doing things is exactly the same as his own.
Saying one more word is like taking my life.
Forget it, it's what it is.
He Chuyue curled her lips, quickly adjusted her state, and looked at the personal information carefully. Ten minutes later, she had a general understanding of Xiao Zhiyan's resume.
She secretly destroyed her phone and didn't read the content about his assets. She got straight to the point.
"Thank you for the detailed information, but we are getting married by agreement. We only need to get the marriage certificate and take responsibility for raising the child. I don't want your property, you only need to pay for the child. At the end of the three-year period, we will divorce and raise the child together. There are twelve months in a year, half a year in your home and half a year in my home. What do you think?"
After a brief thought, Xiao Zhiyan curled up his fingertips on the table and looked into her eyes with a rare strong attitude: "I agree. But I am willing to pay for all your expenses, indefinitely."
Perhaps it was because she had never seen Xiao Zhiyan express his emotions so strongly, or perhaps it was because the restaurant was too quiet. He Chuyue paused for a moment after hearing the man's voice. When she reacted, she had already heard her own voice.
"Why?"
With the experience of the first hospital visit, Xiao Zhiyan's answer this time was obviously much more cautious. "Marriage means being responsible for the child and the child's mother. It's what I should do."
"......"
He Chuyue was speechless at the official answer that was impeccable, but she did not refuse. After all, the person involved said it was what she should do.
But does the phrase “no deadline” appear too many times tonight?
He Chuyue coughed lightly: "Do you have anything to ask me?"
"have."
As expected, she nodded: "Excuse me."
“Are you in debt?”
That’s it?
He Chuyue said succinctly: "No, I will also prepare a copy of my information for you later, but it will not be as detailed as yours."
Xiao Zhiyan had no objection.
The process had taken shape, and He Chuyue was about to ask him if there were any problems with the prenuptial agreement when the latter pushed his cell phone over to him.
A blank.
"What is this?" He Chuyue was also confused.
"The prenuptial agreement you sent."
"......"
She searched her documents for a long time, but all the prenuptial agreement documents were blank. He Chuyue didn't understand why this happened. Fortunately, she had printed out three copies last night and they were on her desk.
But she wanted to know more about what Xiao Zhiyan was doing during the ten minutes she was looking at the documents instead of looking at the prenuptial agreement.
"I saw it."
He Chuyue raised an eyebrow: "After seeing it, you said it was blank only now?"
"I'm afraid to bother you."
Somehow, He Chuyue instantly understood what he meant.
The two had planned to resolve the matter yesterday, but it was delayed until tonight because of her sudden abdominal pain. In the process, many unexpected situations occurred that were beyond He Chuyue's control and almost affected her original prediction results.
If Xiao Zhiyan pointed out that her document was blank when she was reading it, He Chuyue would definitely solve the problem, delaying her reading and interrupting her progress.
Although he has not read the agreement now, at least she has an understanding of Xiao Zhiyan and is not as completely in the dark as she was during the day.
"Sorry, it's my fault. Maybe the app got stuck, or I forgot to save it after printing it." Remembering that Xiao Zhiyan was afraid of dogs, He Chuyue said tactfully, "Maybe I need to trouble you to wait for me downstairs. I'll go get the paper version."
Not missing Xiao Zhiyan's hesitant expression, she asked, "Is there anything inconvenient?"
"No."
He Chuyue packed up her things and stood up: "Then let's go--"
"Can't I go upstairs?"
"squeak--"
The chairs moved across the floor, making a piercing noise that echoed throughout the restaurant.
The noise attracted many people in the museum to look at him, but the person involved ignored it and just looked at Xiao Zhiyan with a strange look, full of disbelief.
"I don't want you to run back and forth." He explained calmly.
"......"
He Chuyue breathed a sigh of relief.
She thought...never mind.
...
Fearing that what happened yesterday would happen again, He Chuyue explained to Xiao Zhiyan before opening the door: "Wait for me at the door first. I'll lock up the latte so as not to scare you."
"Need not."
"No need?" He Chuyue paused while typing the password. "Aren't you afraid of dogs?"
Xiao Zhiyan was also stunned. He realized why she didn't let him come up in the restaurant, and his tense expression relaxed.
"I'm not afraid. I left yesterday because I was afraid you'd get tired again." He pushed the document bag in his right hand forward, "After all, there are too many words."
"oh."
The flattery hit the horse's leg.
He Chuyue rolled her eyes inwardly.
The door was opened, and He Chuyue still stood in front of Xiao Zhiyan. The two of them, one in front and one behind, made eye contact with the Border Collie guarding the door.
Latte's wagging tail was not wagging much before the door opened. Now, seeing the stranger standing behind his owner, he growled in warning.
“Woo——”
"Shh!" He Chuyue was prepared.
“Woo.”
Latte lay down very reluctantly under the warning look from his master, but he was staring at Xiao Zhiyan.
"It's okay, come in."
"It's very smart." Xiao Zhiyan stepped into the door.
When he first entered the door and carried He Chuyue out, Latte only barked twice and then stopped trying to stop him, as if he understood that he had no ill intentions.
But yesterday and today, it was clearly claiming its territory and trying to intimidate him.
"Yeah." After closing the door, He Chuyue said politely, "What would you like to drink? There are mineral water, juice, and wine in the refrigerator--"
Their eyes met, He Chuyue smiled, covered her stomach and quickly walked past him to sit on the sofa, "Anyway, we have everything, you can get it yourself if you are thirsty."
Xiao Zhiyan said calmly: "No need to bother."
The two sat opposite each other. There was silence in the air for a moment. Only the sound of the dog's paws hitting the ground and its breathing quietly eased the awkwardness.
"Shall we begin?"
When the official arrived at He Chuyue, he thought he was meeting the person involved.
She nodded, signaling him to start.
After a few breaths, Xiao Zhiyan opened his briefcase, and then placed several neatly bound A4 papers on the coffee table. Under the bright light, the hand with blue veins on the back pushed them in front of He Chuyue, and then, under the owner's gaze, his voice like a spring stream rang out, completing the words in the restaurant.
"I'm not sure which version you're used to, so I prepared them all and leave this one for you."
He Chuyue held his forehead with his hand.
After all, she saw this document which was apparently thicker than the Civil Code.
He raised his hand to put his nails in his mouth, but shivered from the cold air around him. I glanced at the floor heating controller in the distance, hesitated for a moment, and finally decided to wrap myself tightly in the blanket.
Only then did I remember that I forgot to give him the agreement first.
Thinking of letting her body temperature return to normal first, the person in front of her moved. She looked up and met Xiao Zhiyan's eyes.
"Would you like some water?"
"No." He shook his head, his eyes falling on the blanket, "Where are the controls for adjusting the temperature?"
Xiao Zhiyan raised his hand and pointed, and walked over. Then a few mechanical sounds were heard. He Chuyue didn't pay any more attention to him. She just felt that this person had very high requirements for temperature.
"Okay, please pick it up--"
He Chuyue's stomach suddenly made a sound.
Seeing Xiao Zhiyan's look, He Chuyue coughed twice in embarrassment, trying to cover up the words in her mind, "Go get the agreement yourself, it's on the desk in the study."
After thinking for a few seconds, Xiao Zhiyan quickly glanced at the person wrapped up like a dumpling on the sofa to make sure it was not his illusion: "Are you not full? Do you want to eat something?"
He didn't know how much He Chuyue ate, but the portion of that bowl of porridge was indeed a little small. He was also worried that He Chuyue would have to wait if she wanted a second bowl, so he simply left his own portion untouched and waited until she said she was full before drinking it in two gulps.
"......"
Sure enough, I heard it.
But this person really wants to expose it without leaving any room for doubt...
Remembering that the same situation happened the day before yesterday, He Chuyue decided to get back on track and deliberately said, "Order takeout? But I don't want to drink porridge."
Xiao Zhiyan nodded, stood up and took off his coat: "What's in the refrigerator?"
She blinked: "You want to do it?"
He had rolled up his sleeves, "If you can."
Not wanting to expose the fact that she didn't cook often, He Chuyue made a decision: "I won't eat anymore."
He stood still: "The doctor said that we need to supplement nutrition and not abuse pregnant women."
"......"
She was indeed hungry.
Holding her empty stomach, He Chuyue wondered who had eaten the porridge she had just drunk?
"Then I'll just order some takeout," she explained helplessly. "There's nothing to eat in the fridge except for drinks, and my natural gas ran out last month. I was so busy during this period that I forgot to pay the bill, so I can't cook."
Xiao Zhiyan sat down and seized the loophole in her words when she came in: "Is there anything in the refrigerator?"
He Chuyue raised an eyebrow.
Is this a criticism of her?
She didn't notice the subtle change in her eyes when she looked at Xiao Zhiyan, and she didn't suffer any loss: "Professor Xiao, we haven't signed the contract yet and you're already teasing me. Then, won't you abuse me after we get the marriage certificate?"
As soon as the words came out, the room fell completely silent.
When their eyes met, she looked into Xiao Zhiyan's deep eyes, and seemed to see herself sitting on the beige sofa in his obsidian pupils.
Peach-pink cheeks, sparkling eyes, and...a blanket that fell to the floor.
He Chuyue quickly bent down to pick up the blanket. She felt the heat burning in her body surrounding her, even restricting this simple action, prolonging the seconds. It seemed like it happened in the last century when she sat up straight with the blanket in her arms.
“Ahem.”
She touched her lips, trying to dispel some of the dryness.
Hearing this, Xiao Zhiyan put his hands back in motion while tidying up his clothes. He also caught the sight of someone running away and curled his lips: "I won't commit domestic violence, don't worry."
He Chuyue's eyes froze: "Thank you."
“It should be.”
"......"
Xiao Zhiyan looked up from the food delivery app: "Are there any dietary restrictions?"
“No cilantro, celery, or carrots.”
When the person opposite cast a look at her, He Chuyue looked back confidently: "I won't eat any food that smells good."
"Then take a look at what you want to eat." He handed over the phone.
He Chuyue hugged the blanket tightly: "I don't want to eat."
After saying that, he felt that he had too much to do, so he reluctantly said, "Order another bowl of porridge. What do you want to eat?"
Xiao Zhiyan, who deleted the shredded carrots, didn’t look up: “Same as you.”
"You want porridge too? You could actually eat something else."
"Need not."
"......"
Perhaps because he heard the word "eat", Latte got down from the sofa and sat down in front of Xiao Zhiyan. He Chuyue hurriedly patted the seat beside her to ask for the latte to be brought back, but when she met Xiao Zhiyan's smiling eyes, her fingertips trembled.
"It's okay." His gaze fell on those caramel eyes, and his smile was obvious, "I have a cat at home, too."
He Chuyue came back to her senses: "Cat?"
"Yes, it's a golden tabby named Coffee."
Noticing the thoughtful look on the sofa's face, Xiao Zhiyan asked, "What's wrong?"
He Chuyue is allergic to cat hair, to the point where she gets a rash when she gets close to it. However, she once adopted a stray cat when she was six years old, and she didn't have any allergic symptoms. Doctors attribute this to a psychological rejection allergy, which may be alleviated by more exposure.
As a result of the frequent contact, He Chuyue had an allergic reaction and a fever and was hospitalized for two days, and she almost died. From then on, Dai Wenchun strictly forbade her to get close to stray cats for the purpose of desensitization.
"Nothing." He Chuyue withdrew her thoughts.
Anyway, we're just getting a certificate and pretending in front of our parents, and we're not going to live together. Saying that you're allergic seems like you're being self-indulgent.
"Has it eaten yet?"
He Chuyue followed his gaze towards Latte and said jokingly, "It said it wanted to eat some vegetables."
Xiao Zhiyan said he understood and took the phone to show her: "How about this lightly cooked vegetable dish?"
He Chuyue:......
Looking at the people nodding their heads and placing orders, He Chuyue's thoughts drifted away a little, and she always felt that today was really subtle.
Apart from Zhou Yu and her family, no one else has appeared at home.
At this time, Xiao Zhiyan was sitting on the sofa opposite her, leaning on the cute pillow in exaggerated bright colors she bought, and wearing the disposable pink slippers that she had never used when entertaining guests... It looked so weird and incongruous no matter how you looked at it.
If Zhou Yu were here, she would definitely hold her SLR and take a lot of photos, and then give them to the editor-in-chief, saying that they could have an issue on the theme of "Famous professor at Peking University actually likes dopamine in private."
He Chuyue put it over in her mind, but still felt something was wrong.
But he just sat there, adding food to the two of them while considering whether her dog wanted to eat something too.
As a professor, can't you tell that she is joking?
What a taciturn person.
The next moment, her pupils shrank, she thought of something, and looked at Xiao Zhiyan.
"A paternity test, don't you need to do one, to confirm...?"
Xiao Zhiyan just submitted the order and looked up.
The girl's expression was too nervous. Her fingers on her legs were clasped together, and the veins on the back of her hands were raised, which was so glaring against her fair and slender wrists.
As he retracted his gaze, Xiao Zhiyan remembered that it was this hand that was hooking his hand that night. The wrist was so thin that there was still a gap when he held it. It was obvious that it would break if he used more force, but he couldn't bear it. He was afraid that it would hurt her, so he just held it gently.
The hand holding the phone tightened unconsciously, and when I raised my eyes, those emotions returned to hiding in the deep pool.
"No need to bother, I believe it."
He Chuyue was not sure: "Do you believe me?" But we have only met four times.
"Um."
Under He Chuyue's puzzled gaze, Xiao Zhiyan rarely seemed to want to joke, and a smile so faint that it was barely noticeable appeared on his lips.
“And I believe in myself.”
