Chapter 15 Love Moon 015 Pressing with fingertips...
He Chuyue was most afraid of the sudden silence in the air. She didn't look at Xiao Zhiyan, but held Dai Wenchun's hand and begged, "Aunt, he listens to me. This is what I mean. It's useless for you to embarrass him."
Xiao Zhiyan's gaze moved slightly.
Dai Wenchun, however, looked very disappointed: "Hiss, you kid——"
"What are you talking about?" Qin Tai, who had tidied up the storage room, walked to the stairs. "Xiao Xiao, can you cook?"
Xiao Zhiyan has already started to roll up his sleeves: "Yes, uncle."
"Okay, then you can help me today, okay?"
Xiao Zhiyan smiled faintly: "Of course."
Qin Tai patted his shoulder and boasted to the two people in the hall: "I never thought that one day a high school teacher like me would be able to cooperate with a professor of biochemistry. It's really new."
Qin Tai looked at He Chuyue as if nothing had happened and then looked away. He smiled again but cold sweat broke out on his back. "Come on, Xiao'er, let's go to the battlefield."
Xiao Zhiyan: "Okay."
In the room, He Chuyue and Zhou Yu were talking on the phone. Zhou Yu lamented that Qi He Chuyue was pregnant, but the latter sighed, "Now every time I wake up, I feel like I ran 800 meters. I am so tired."
"Pfft, your description is very vivid. But I think it's amazing that you have the courage to give birth to the child. It turns out that mothers are great."
There was no emotion in He Chuyue's eyes: "You know why I kept him."
Zhou Yu paused and didn't respond.
The small bodhi wood gourd ornament on the table sat safely on the shelf. He Chuyue brushed over the top with her fingertips, and there was no dust on her fingertips. She swept over the other few and found the same thing.
Not only the ornaments, she looked around the warm-toned room and saw that every corner had signs of being carefully tidied.
Dai Wenchun did more than that for her.
Because the monk said that the gourd can bring safety, so she would travel thousands of miles to ask for a Bodhi wood gourd, and come to He Chuyue just to say "it won't be a wasted trip if it can bless you."
Having been exposed to the fickleness of human nature too early, He Chuyue feels that the most real and intuitive premise in interactions between people is interest, while family affection and feelings are the most unpredictable and uncontrollable.
She does not ask for anything, nor does she dare to desire it.
Because Dai Wenchun was so good to her, He Chuyue didn't want her to be sad, so she kept the child and had a fake marriage with him.
The original purpose of everything she did for the child could be for herself or for the future, but the only thing she did was not out of maternal love.
The fabric under her hands was cold, and He Chuyue spoke rationally: "He parasitizes in my body, which makes me uncomfortable, but I need his existence and cannot drive him away. Similarly, he also needs me to survive, so we are just using each other."
A gourd suddenly fell down, and she helped it up: "Talking about love is too noble."
"Chu Chu..." Zhou Yu felt that He Chuyue was too pessimistic about relationships. "People can interact with each other not only for their own interests, but also for each other. We are just pure love, and you and my aunt are also family members."
He Chuyue's breathing was off balance when she heard Zhou Yu's voice again.
"Besides, the child in your belly has your and Xiao Zhiyan's blood flowing in his body. He is a relative other than your relatives. Isn't this a very wonderful life? As for love, it can only be encountered by chance, but I think Xiao Xueshen is a good man that can only be encountered by chance. You should hold on to him firmly."
"Last time when we were having dinner, they added juice and seasoning for you, but you just dove into the hot pot and ate like crazy."
"......"
He Chuyue's subconscious rebuttal was choked in her throat.
After spending these few days together, she felt that Xiao Zhiyan's silence depended on the situation, and it was not as if he was being frugal with words as her impression. He is also humorous, has high emotional intelligence, can comfort people, pays attention to her emotions, and is very considerate.
If Xiao Zhiyan also...
Lying on her back on the bed, she was touched but remained sober and decisively gave up that assumption.
Raise your hands to cover your eyes.
“Not to the point of liking it.”
"Even if he doesn't like you, he treats you differently. Otherwise, why wouldn't he pour juice and make sauce for me?" Zhou Yu struck while the iron was hot. "I think you two should discuss living together. It's a good opportunity to see if he has that intention."
After the last banquet between the two families, Dai Wenchun had almost finished asking Xiao Zhiyan all his questions. He also wanted to use this meal to observe from a closer distance whether Xiao Zhiyan knew everything as Qi Yan said.
It turns out that he really can do it all.
In the kitchen, Qin Tai cut his hand on purpose. Xiao Zhiyan took over the knife and cut the meat and vegetables neatly and evenly.
In the living room, Dai Wenchun couldn't turn on the light, so Xiao Zhiyan took on the task of changing the light bulb and put the ladder and the switch back in place.
Finally, He Chuyue looked at Xiao Zhiyan who was busy preparing five dishes and a soup, and felt a little embarrassed, so she brought him some warm water.
“Thank you for your hard work.”
He took it: "It's not hard."
Seeing that he really wasn't unhappy, He Chuyue was unsure: "Really?"
Xiao Zhiyan nodded, his eyes turned down: "Really."
She looked away.
Not tired, not tired, what are you laughing at.
After dinner, Dai Wenchun and Qin Tai pulled Xiao Zhiyan aside to give him some instructions. He Chuyue's eyes became sore as she listened beside them. She was reluctant to leave, but Dai Wenchun's words made her hold back her tears.
"Xiao Xiao, don't let Niuniu do it when the time comes to move."
Xiao Zhiyan agreed: "No, auntie."
He Chuyue: “…”
Downstairs, the car turned off and He Chuyue spoke.
"My aunt said today——"
"I think Auntie is right."
He Chuyue motioned for him to continue.
Xiao Zhiyan: "I agree to live together after marriage."
Thinking of Zhou Yu's words, He Chuyue raised an eyebrow: "Can I hear the reason?"
He looked over and said, "It is common sense to live together after getting a marriage certificate. If we refuse, it will arouse suspicion."
He Chuyue nodded and said okay.
Xiao Zhiyan: "Then I'll pick you up after get off work the day after tomorrow after you get your license and help you pack your things?"
"Okay." He Chuyue held the door handle, "Then I'll leave."
"Be careful on the road." He unlocked the car.
When Xiao Zhiyan got off the car, He Chuyue had already walked up the stairs. He didn't move forward, but waited until the slender figure disappeared from his sight before he looked away and counted the floors upwards.
It was pitch black there.
He looked at his watch, it was 7:10, he leaned against the car and waited quietly. After about four minutes, the light replaced the brightness. Xiao Zhiyan raised his wrist again. It was a quarter past seven.
He turned, got into the cab, and drove away.
The day for getting the marriage certificate was an extremely auspicious day, which Dai Wenchun had calculated himself and also spent another five thousand yuan to have a master calculate it. So when He Chuyue looked at the red book worth 5,009 yuan, she suddenly felt that it was not worth it.
This is too thin.
She casually put it in the car cabinet. She rummaged through her bag and realized that she had forgotten to take the powder. She asked Xiao Zhiyan, "Do you have a mirror in your car?"
"The sun visor is open."
He Chuyue moved her eyes away but did nothing. Thinking back to the cases she had handled, eight out of ten were cases where the wives saw traces left by the mistress on the passenger seat of their husbands, and the sun visor was the hardest hit area.
Seeing that she didn't move, Xiao Zhiyan was distracted: "What's wrong?"
"It's okay, it's just that in your car... cough cough." Feeling awkward, He Chuyue coughed twice again, "Has anyone sat in your car before?"
Xiao Zhiyan felt strange, but still answered, "Yes."
He Chuyue felt that her question was ambiguous, so she asked again: "Your colleague?"
Xiao Zhiyan: “No.”
She slowly pulled down the sun visor: "Did anyone in the family sit there?"
Xiao Zhiyan: “Yes.”
"Who is it?" She was applying lipstick in front of the clean mirror, but her attention was not on her lips. "Auntie? Uncle?"
"They didn't." Xiao Zhiyan turned the steering wheel, "Aunt and uncle-in-law."
He Chuyue felt something was wrong, and with a stroke of her hand, the lipstick reached the edge of her lips.
The car stopped steadily at the intersection. Xiao Zhiyan looked over and saw He Chuyue, who had a strange makeup on. He didn't smile but raised his hand.
He Chuyue hid back: "What are you doing?"
He pointed at the corner of her lips and said, "It's drawn."
"I'll just wipe it with paper--"
Warm fingers touched the corners of her lips and chin. He Chuyue widened her eyes and wanted to hide, but her waist was stiff.
With tacit consent, Xiao Zhiyan pressed his fingertips on the fair skin until all the red color remained on his fingertips, then he withdrew his hand.
Crushing with his fingertips, he said, "And you."
...
He Chuyue buried her head at the table with her face covered. She didn't even have the time to look at her makeup after being "fixed" by Xiao Zhiyan. She just felt her face was very hot, especially where he had pressed.
I subconsciously rummaged through my bag, and after searching for a long time I finally remembered that I didn't have a mirror.
"What the hell is yelling so early in the morning?"
As soon as Mei Qingxue came in, she saw the depressed He Chuyue.
He Chuyue looked up suddenly: "Why didn't you knock when you came in?"
Mei Qingxue said innocently: "You didn't close the door."
He Chuyue: “…”
She forgot.
"Why are you here?" Didn't you say yesterday that you wouldn't talk to her?
"I'm notifying you that there will be a meeting on the 12th floor." As he turned to leave, Mei Qingxue came back and said, "That person is here."
Finally, Mei Qingxue glanced at the stone that was still on her desk, shook her head and left.
In the large conference room on the twelfth floor, He Chuyue sat in the corner, holding her waist and looking at her phone.
Dai Wenchun: [Have you received the certificate? ]
He Chuyue: [I’ve received all the gifts.] ]
Dai Wenchun: [Didn’t you take any photos? show me. ]
He Chuyue was very honest: [I didn’t take any pictures. ]
Before Dai Wenchun sent another message, he added: [Aunt is in a hurry to go to work, so she doesn’t have the time. ]
Dai Wenchun sent a voice message. He Chuyue looked around and put the phone to her ear when no one noticed her.
"Really? Your uncle-in-law has a better sense of ceremony than you do. Niuniu, take a picture for me right now."
He Chuyue switched pages and went to find Xiao Zhiyan.
He Chuyue: [I left my marriage certificate in the cabinet in front of the co-pilot seat. When do you have time to take a photo for me? My aunt wants to see it. ]
“Zhizhi”: [Okay, wait for me and the get out of class will end in thirty minutes. ]
He Chuyue returned to the page with Dai Wenchun: [Wait for me for forty minutes, aunt, I'm in a meeting now, and the marriage certificate is in the office. ]
Dai Wenchun sent an emoticon of flipping a table.
He Chuyue smiled secretly, and He Wen looked at her and said, "Lawyer He, did you know that there will be a welcome party tonight?"
He Chuyue was stunned: "I don't know."
He Wen reminded: "Boss Tang said something on the eleventh floor this morning, but you were not there at the time."
"......"
He Chuyue didn't ask such a simple question as who to welcome, she just waved her hand and said, "I have something tonight and can't go."
"Mr. Tang said that every senior lawyer must be present, so that you and Lawyer Xiao can get familiar with each other in advance. Mr. Chen, Mr. Zhang and some business tycoons will also be here."
He Chuyue, who was looking at her phone, suddenly looked at him: "Is the new lawyer's last name Xiao?"
"The first month."
He Chuyue turned around and met that face. The blood in her body rushed back and she forgot to react for a moment.
Seeing this, Xiao Wei joked, "What's wrong? You look like you've seen a ghost. Are you surprised that I'm here?"
"No." She quickly smiled, "What a coincidence."
"Unfortunately, I could have joined HC just for you."
Xiao Wei's voice was not loud, but it just happened to cause a commotion around him.
The members of this meeting were all colleagues and knew each other well. The only new face was Xiao Wei, whom they had never seen before. He was handsome, so naturally he attracted attention as soon as he appeared, especially when he was talking to He Chuyue and saying such ambiguous words.
Hearing the gasps beside him, He Chuyue remained calm: "Senior, please stop teasing me. I don't have that much face."
"It's true." Someone on the other side called Xiao Wei, and he responded and looked at He Chuyue, as if explaining, very gently, "Someone called me, I'll go over first, see you in the evening."
Watching Xiao Wei leave, He Chuyue ignored the inquiring looks of the people around her and mechanically sent a message to Xiao Zhiyan.
[I have something to do in the evening, so you don’t have to pick me up. ]
Finally, a few whispers were heard in my ears.
-"Have you heard? Lawyer Xiao is very close to Gu's company. Gu Qianqian will also come to the welcome party tonight."
-"true and false?"
- "Of course it's true!"
He Chuyue silently withdrew the message.
Retype: [Please come and pick me up in the evening. ]
