Chapter 13 love moon·013 "She is my...
It was the lunch rush hour in the cafeteria. Amid the noisy voices and constant gazes, He Chuyue slowly approached Xiao Zhiyan, not forgetting to look at Duan Zeming's position.
After making sure that he couldn't hear what was said, he said to Xiao Zhiyan, "You have a good relationship with Duan Zeming?"
Xiao Zhiyan also glanced at someone in the distance who was struggling over whether to choose braised pork or kung pao chicken, "Yeah."
"It's very reluctant." He Chuyue leaned towards him, "Should we tell him? If we do, with his big mouth, all our high school classmates will know about it in less than ten minutes."
Xiao Zhiyan shook the hand holding the soup, and the soup hit the wall of the cup, creating ripples.
Putting it on the food plate, he looked at He Chuyue who was waiting for her answer, "Is your high school group still active?"
"Yeah, isn't yours? We have a big group, and there are seniors in it who get along well with each other."
Senior?
Xiao Zhiyan forgot to look away.
He Chuyue was confused by his look and was about to say something when Duan Zeming's voice sounded from behind her.
"Have you made your choice? He Chuyue, if you want to pay by credit card, I can lend it to you. Our Professor Xiao is very cool. His meal card——"
"drop--"
Duan Zeming looked over and He Chuyue discovered that her meal had been eaten by Xiao Zhiyan.
"Old Xiao, you——"
"drop--"
With another sound, Xiao Zhiyan swiped his own.
Duan Zeming handed over his plate and said, "Then wash mine too."
"Brush your own."
After Xiao Zhiyan finished speaking, he walked away, leaving behind the heartbroken Duan Zeming and the smirking He Chuyue.
"Oh, he's just joking with me." Duan Zeming explained to He Chuyue, "You go sit first, I'll go after I finish brushing my teeth."
"OK."
When Duan Zeming came back, he found that the two people were already sitting face to face. He felt that the scene was a bit weird, but he couldn't tell what was wrong, so he sat down next to Xiao Zhiyan.
He asked He Chuyue: "Why did you, a busy person, come to school? Didn't you say that your appointment as lawyer He is scheduled until next year?"
He Chuyue pointed downwards, "My client is right here."
Xiao Zhiyan on the opposite side looked over, but He Chuyue heard Duan Zeming's voice.
"Who? From our school? Don't you HCs take cases worth tens of millions? Do you also take cases involving teachers from our school?"
He Chuyue frowned: "Who told you that?"
Duan Zeming said innocently: "That's what everyone is saying. HC is the best law firm in North City, located in the most prosperous area. You guys also take on a small case like this?"
He Chuyue was completely speechless: "I'm too lazy to tell you, I have the right to protect the privacy of my client."
"Hey! If you don't want to tell me, then don't tell me." He hesitated, "What is Zhou Yu doing now?"
"she--"
Interrupted by the ringing of the phone, He Chuyue glanced at the notes, then looked at Duan Zeming who was still expecting, and picked up the phone.
"姌姌."
She caught a glimpse of someone listening attentively, so she turned up the volume of the receiver.
Zhou Yu: "What are you doing? How about lunch?"
He Chuyue: "I'm in the cafeteria of Beijing University. I met my high school classmate after finishing my work here in the morning."
Duan Zeming's ears perked up again.
"Didn't you go to see Xiao Xueshen?" Zhou Yu's voice paused imperceptibly, "You...didn't you see that bastard Duan Zeming?"
"Damn it! Zhou Yu, who are you calling a bastard?"
“..........”
The noise disappeared in an instant, but the person involved didn't realize it at all and even went to grab He Chuyue's phone: "Zhou Yu, who are you talking about!"
He Chuyue, whose cell phone was taken away, followed Xiao Zhiyan and moved her food tray to the seats next to her.
She explained: "He and Zhou Yu had been arguing since junior high school. They would fight whenever they met. They were often assigned to the same class in high school, which gave the class teacher a headache. It's still like this now."
"Um."
Seeing that he was in a bad mood, He Chuyue recalled the call record that she had glanced at in the car, "You called me this morning?"
He acquiesced, and He Chuyue explained again: "I was grumpy when I woke up. Did I scold you? I'm sorry."
Without waiting for Xiao Zhiyan to speak, she continued, "But don't blame me. I woke up in the early hours of last night and felt like throwing up. I sent a few voice messages to scold you and then withdrew them. You didn't let me listen to them, but you insisted on listening to them, and you sent them to me to scold me. Don't you think you can blame me?"
"I bought you folic acid and vitamins. They're in the car." He lowered his eyes. "It's my fault. I forgot yesterday."
He Chuyue didn't care and said unceremoniously: "It's okay, then remember, let me take it away later."
"good."
Xiao Zhiyan took the autumn pear soup from the plate and asked: "Would you like to try it?"
"Okay." He Chuyue took a sip, the sweetness satisfied her entire mouth, her eyes curved, "You remembered my preferences so quickly, Professor Xiao, please behave well tomorrow night and don't let the cat out of the bag."
Xiao Zhiyan's expression finally relaxed: "Definitely."
"Here." Duan Zeming handed over the phone, "She wants to talk to you."
"姌姌."
He Chuyue heard Duan Zeming ask Xiao Zhiyan if he had time in the evening, and Zhou Yu also heard the same question.
"How about dinner? Do you want to go to Chunxi Road for hotpot?"
"It's night..."
He Chuyue scratched her chin and met Xiao Zhiyan's eyes. There was a sudden pause, and she looked away first.
"I have a court session this afternoon. I don't know what time it will end."
"It's okay. I'll wait for you."
"It's okay. I'll wait for you."
The person on the receiver and the person on the other end said the same thing.
He Chuyue looked at Duan Zeming, "You treat?"
"It's my treat." He didn't care and approached Xiao Zhiyan, "Old Xiao will go too, I'll introduce you to each other."
After talking to Zhou Yu and hanging up the phone, Duan Zeming kept his eyes on Xiao Zhiyan who was silent beside him, and finally realized something was strange.
Didn't I call and ask yesterday? He Chuyue happened to come to Peking University today. He even mentioned that there was someone involved. I'm afraid that the two of them had already agreed to meet at school and he got in the way.
Okay, let’s make an appointment to meet without telling him! You don't even consider him as a friend!
Thinking of this, Duan Zeming smiled wickedly.
"Hey, He Chuyue, have you heard any news about Xiao Wei recently?" He saw someone tense from the corner of his eye, and he laughed even more wildly, "I remember he went abroad for further studies after graduation, right? How is he now?"
Unexpectedly, Duan Zeming would suddenly mention Xiao Wei. He Chuyue shook her head: "I don't know."
"What's the matter? You haven't paid attention to him?" Duan Zeming was very surprised and raised his voice. "I wrote him love letters and asked about his major in high school. How come I haven't contacted him now?"
With her true colors exposed, He Chuyue quickly glanced at Xiao Zhiyan, who was eating slowly and looking indifferent.
She didn't know why she suddenly felt guilty, and just wanted to shut Duan Zeming's mouth quickly.
"I already told you that the love letter wasn't written by me. Besides, it's been so many years. What's the point of bringing it up now?"
"Why is it meaningless? If you were single by then, would your uncle still need to call my mom to introduce you to someone? You wouldn't have forgotten about Mr. Xiao, would you? Hey, I suddenly remembered that it was Old Xiao that your uncle was asking about yesterday, so today..."
The meaningful ending tone and the frivolous expression made He Chuyue's heart skip a beat. She actually forgot that Duan Zeming's mother was the teacher of the class next to Qin Tai, and she had walked into a den of thieves.
She asked Xiao Zhiyan with a headache: "Speak?"
The person eating opposite finally raised his head, his brows and eyes were gentle: "Yeah."
"Go ahead." Duan Zeming, who thought his provocation was successful, boasted: "I guessed long ago that you guys were going to meet up today--"
"She's my girlfriend."
Xiao Zhiyan interrupted him.
"Yes, she's your blind date for—what?!"
With a loud bang, Duan Zeming fell off the chair.
-
The sun was brighter than in the morning. When He Chuyue came out of the court, she was greeted by the warm sunshine. Suddenly, she felt much better.
After saying goodbye to the person concerned, He Chuyue was about to leave when someone called her from behind.
"He Chuyue."
Turning around following the sound, He Chuyue looked at the man standing on the steps behind her and held her breath.
Xiao Wei...
"It's really you." Xiao Wei put his hands in his pockets and stepped onto the stairs, his narrow eyes curved, as if He Chuyue was a friend he was very familiar with but had never met, "Do you have time to chat?"
He Chuyue looked at the time and saw that it was still early, so she agreed and the two of them found a nearby coffee shop.
"Nowadays, people in China order food through their mobile phones. It's very convenient. I still remember the joke I made when I first returned from Paris."
Xiao Wei nodded with a smile, and after a few seconds, he looked at the person opposite him with a smile: "I was so hungry after getting off the plane, so I went straight to the private restaurant to ask for the menu. As a result, the restaurant was very busy, so the waiter asked me to scan the code. But you know, in Paris, waiters take orders, and I didn't understand what scanning the code meant. Coincidentally, there was a statue of Mouton's horse at the door of their house, so I went to clean the horse for them."
"......real?"
He Chuyue said calmly, "Sorry."
"I said this just to make you laugh so I can get closer to you. How's that? Are we getting closer?"
He Chuyue smiled and nodded: "Yes."
"That's good. You won't be able to refuse me next time." He handed her his phone, which had already opened the order page, "Order whatever you want. Senior, please buy me a cup of coffee."
Before her eyes fell on the screen, He Chuyue looked at the person opposite her again.
The senior whom she had a crush on during her school days had not changed much in terms of facial features, nor had he gained weight, and his sense of humor and talent remained the same. Unlike what a certain website said, after not seeing each other for many years, the male god I had a crush on had become a middle-aged man with a big belly. He was no longer young and full of vigor and vitality. Instead, he was sophisticated, worldly, and difficult to talk about under the hardships of society.
He Chuyue's faint joy seemed to only arise at the moment of her reunion with Xiao Wei. At this moment, she looked at the handsome face opposite her, which was the same as before, without the blushing and heartbeat she had when she was in school.
Maybe it's just like she said.
That emotion gradually faded after that incident.
What are you looking at? "Xiao Wei waved his hand in front of her eyes,"Are you moved to tears? ”
He Chuyue shook her head, a smile twitching her lips: "Thank you, senior. I'll be welcome then."
After clicking, she returned the phone without any unnecessary movements in between. Xiao Wei couldn't help but look at her again.
She had a smooth face and superior facial features, as if every one of them was designed, perfect and beautiful, especially her eyes, which made him remember her at a glance when she was giving a speech on the stage when he graduated from high school.
pity......
After exchanging breaths, Xiao Wei started the conversation again: "It's fate that I met you just after returning to China today."
"Just landed?" She raised her eyebrows, obviously not believing it.
Coming to court right after landing?
"Before you return to China to work, you must first get acquainted with the courts?" He straightened his clothes and looked at He Chuyue with a long gaze. "I was in the audience for the case just now. I haven't seen you for a long time. I didn't expect that my junior high school sister has really become an excellent lawyer as they said. At first I was..."
Xiao Wei shook his head and smiled, then took a sip of coffee and looked up with admiration: "I saw it with my own eyes, I believe it."
Hearing him say that, He Chuyue was in a trance for a few breaths. She didn't notice that he was in the audience, but the discomfort soon disappeared. She smiled politely and said politely, "Senior, please stop teasing me."
"How can you be joking? I'm serious." He took in He Chuyue's expression, and it seemed that she really couldn't understand the meaning of his words, so she didn't take it seriously, and changed the subject, "I'm a newcomer now that I've returned to China and started from scratch. I wonder if any of my junior schoolmates have any recommendations?"
He Chuyue quickly remembered what Mei Qingxue said about the sky falling. She kept smiling, but her underlying tone was alert: "How dare I recommend it to you."
After he finished speaking, the screen at hand lit up, and it was a message from Zhou Yu.
The other party asked: "What is the information of the person involved?"
"No, it's Zhou Yu's." He Chuyue didn't hide it, "We'll have dinner together later."
"What time is the appointment?"
"Seven o'clock."
"That's good, we can have a cup of coffee in exactly half an hour."
He Chuyue lowered her eyes and replied to Zhou Yu.
[When I met Xiao Wei, he called me in two minutes to urge me. ]
Zhou Yu on the opposite side deleted the message "I'm here, where are you" that she had just typed and looked at the person who came.
"Duan Zeming, what are you wearing here?" Zhou Yu looked at the man in red and green and felt like her eyes were being raped.
Duan Zeming straightened his coat and crossed his legs: "Why, this year's most fashionable outfit, you're a reporter, how can you be so insensitive to the wind direction?"
"You're sick." Zhou Yu looked at Xiao Zhiyan.
The latter was looking at his mobile phone, and when he saw her looking at him, he nodded politely. Duan Zeming then realized that the three of them all studied undergraduate courses at Peking University, so he asked Xiao Zhiyan, "Then you and He Chuyue have been dating for more than a year. Have you been in touch since college? You've been in Peking University for nearly half a year, and I haven't heard you talk about it."
"Why would I tell you about someone's private affairs?" Zhou Yu, who had been in love for more than a year, knew what was going on and tried to smooth things over. "Do you think everyone is as talkative as you and has to tell others everything?"
"I'm not a big talker." Duan Zeming was about to say something, but suddenly lost interest. "Where's He Chuyue? Why hasn't she come yet? Old Xiao, why don't you ask her?"
Xiao Zhiyan put down the phone: "She said she would wait a while."
"It's like this, Xiao Wei is back." Zhou Yu spoke, noticing Xiao Zhiyan's expression, "The two met at the entrance of the court, and now they are reminiscing about the past."
On the other side, He Chuyue, who had said goodbye to Xiao Wei, had already entered the alley, saw Xiao Zhiyan standing at the door, and got out of the car.
"Why did you come down?"
"There are too many people, I'm afraid you won't be able to find it."
Turning her eyes away from the noise, she thanked him, "Let's go."
The meal was very pleasant. Although Duan Zeming loved gossip, he was a thick-skinned person. He did not doubt Xiao Zhiyan's words and quickly accepted the fact that they were in love. I was arguing with Zhou Yu the whole time, which livened up the atmosphere a lot.
But in the middle of the night, the drunk Duan Zeming suddenly sat up and scratched his head: "Did Lao Xiao ask him about He Chuyue and Xiao Wei today?"
Unable to remember, he rubbed his head and continued to sleep.
The next day.
Xiao Zhiyan appeared at the door on time, and He Chuyue opened the door for him, holding a half-empty bottle of yogurt.
"Want some yogurt?"
"No, thank you."
He Chuyue still stuffed it into his mouth, "Drink it. I've poured half of the latte and there's still half left. I can't drink it on an empty stomach."
"good."
On the way to the hospital in Xiao Zhiyan's car, He Chuyue confirmed again: "Your aunt is taking a day off today, right?"
"Yeah." Xiao Zhiyan turned around the intersection and said, "If they knew, they would only blame me, not you."
"Your parents know your personality. Who would believe that you can suddenly have a pregnant girlfriend after being alone for 28 years? I don't believe it anyway."
After saying that, he remembered that Xiao Zhiyan was not a virgin, so he did not correct her and made the decision directly: "So in order to prevent suspicion and trouble, it is better to be safe."
Xiao Zhiyan had no objection.
...
In the hall of the color ultrasound room, He Chuyue kept rubbing her eyes, and she did it so many times that it attracted Xiao Zhiyan's attention.
"Are your eyes uncomfortable?"
"No, my eyelid keeps twitching." He Chuyue pointed at her right eye, "Look, it's twitching again."
He Chuyue leaned in to look at the mirror on her palm, but the mirror that was just right for her to touch up her makeup was not enough at this moment, causing her to lean forward.
He kept muttering: "I am not paralyzed, am I——"
With her wrist supported by a hand, He Chuyue looked away from the mirror and met those deep eyes.
"Let me see."
"oh."
She sat facing Xiao Zhiyan, they were facing each other, her arm still in his palm. He Chuyue moved unnaturally and moved away from his pulse.
Xiao Zhiyan said lightly: "Are there any other places twitching?"
"No." She scratched her ear.
The direct and exposed gaze was more dazzling than the lights from the hospital ceiling. He Chuyue blinked twice, and finally surrendered and looked away.
His straight spine suddenly felt numb, and he couldn't find a place to look. He looked around behind him, and then, his eyes met with a woman wearing purple new Chinese style.
The latter had no intention of moving away.
He Chuyue felt empty inside and held his arm: "Xiao Zhiyan——"
"What's wrong?"
Following the line of sight, Xiao Zhiyan and the person who came looked at each other.
"mom."
