Chapter 18 love moon·018 She was trapped in...
Almost at the same time, Xiao Zhiyan hurriedly stepped back but did not forget to reach out and pull her.
He Chuyue was still in pain, so she slapped his hand away. She wanted to rub it, but because he was there, she could only vent her anger at him: "Why is it so heavy? It hurts to begin with, and it hurts even more when you press on it."
She was curled up on the sofa with a frown on her face. She didn't hear the words in front of her. She looked over and found that Xiao Zhiyan's ears were unnaturally red.
Maybe it was because of his fair skin that the two pig-blood-colored ears stood out particularly well. If you looked closely, you could even see that his cheeks were tinged with a light pink.
With her evil taste in her mouth, He Chuyue suddenly felt much better and asked tentatively, "Xiao Zhiyan, are you just standing there?"
The person opposite was a little dazed, even his gaze towards her was unnatural, he only dared to look at her face.
It doesn't hurt at all now.
She held back her laughter and leaned forward: "Hey, didn't you ask me where I feel uncomfortable? If I feel uncomfortable here, can you rub it for me?"
She pointed to her chest, but it was Xiao Zhiyan she was looking at.
"I......"
His gaze seemed to be sealed on her face.
He Chuyue's eyes curved even wider: "Didn't you ask me where it hurts? What should I do if it hurts here?"
"......"
Xiao Zhiyan turned his back and a muffled sound was heard near his legs, but he stood there as if he had no reaction.
He Chuyue retracted her gaze from the coffee table: "You can't be——"
He spoke quickly and went straight to the restaurant: "Let's eat, it's getting cold."
"Xiao Zhiyan."
Without stopping, she called out again: "Hey! Xiao Zhiyan!"
Finally stopped.
She covered her lips and gave a "kind" reminder: "Do you know that you have the same hands and feet?"
bass.
Someone's redder ears.
She snickered.
This person... is kind of cute.
-
It was a good day on the moving day. A man and a dog sat in the back seat. Latte was sniffing around out of curiosity and even put his head on Xiao Zhiyan's shoulder. He Chuyue saw this and pulled him away.
"Don't disturb the driver from driving."
Latte whimpered and lay down, but his paws were on her.
When she looked out the window, she realized that this was not the way to the Beijing University Family Building, so she asked, "Don't you live in Area B of the Family Building?"
"Don't go there, it's too small." Xiao Zhiyan turned around, thinking she thought it was too far to go home, "This place is across the street from Beijing University, not far."
"That's not what I'm talking about."
He Chuyue originally thought that they were going to the family building where Xiao Zhiyan lived. Dai Wenchun and Qin Tai lived in A, which was a fixed apartment type for each family, a very traditional four-bedroom and one-living room. Because Area B is behind Area A, the facilities and decoration inside the house are newer than those in Area A, and the house type is also larger, but He Chuyue has never seen what it is like specifically.
She originally wanted to invite Xiao Zhiyan to her home, but was criticized by Dai Wenchun, saying that when getting married, the couple should stay in the man's wedding room, and it is not appropriate for the man to come to the woman's home.
Helplessly, I gave up the idea, thinking that a four-bedroom, one-living-room apartment would be more than enough for two people. But Xiao Zhiyan didn't tell him in advance that they had temporarily changed to a wedding house today. She remembered that Qi Yan had said at the dinner table that she had bought him a wedding house, which was in a high-end residential area opposite Peking University.
Seeing the car waiting to be released, He Chuyue still spoke: "Is it not a good idea for us to live in your wedding room?"
Xiao Zhiyan: "What's wrong?"
"......We are just making an agreement. If you live in your wedding house now, it will be so bad in the future." She suddenly thought that Xiao Zhiyan was richer than her. Maybe he would buy another house for him next time he found a wife. It would only take a simple move. She was not the one worrying about it.
The car was driving at a constant speed in the community. Latte was attracted by the artificial lake and pavilion in the community. It came over and stepped on He Chuyue's legs to look out, which attracted He Chuyue's attention. She didn't even notice the gloomy gaze of someone in the rearview mirror.
He Chuyue didn't have much luggage, only three suitcases were taken by Xiao Zhiyan, and she followed behind holding Latte.
The elevator stopped at the twelfth floor. Xiao Zhiyan opened the door first and led people into the room.
The oversized floor-to-ceiling windows that came into view illuminated the entire room, and combined with the simple decoration style and furniture, it made He Chuyue's eyes light up.
She looked at Xiao Zhiyan who was wiping Latte's feet, "It looks like the design style of my home."
After wiping all four of Latte's paws clean, he stood up and simply asked, "Do you like it?"
"Yeah, I like it very much." She looked around the room, and what she was most satisfied with at the moment was the floor-to-ceiling window.
He Chuyue doesn't like rooms without windows. She suffers from mild claustrophobia and can only withstand short periods of confinement like in an elevator. She likes big windows, and even her study has a window that takes up half of the wall.
Xiao Zhiyan opened the shoe cabinet, took out a pair of pink slippers and placed them at her feet: "Come in."
Her attention fell on the fluffy slippers, and she paused: "Did you buy them?"
"Well, there are very few types of women's slippers in the supermarket, and there is only this pair of pink ones." Seeing her hesitation, Xiao Zhiyan was embarrassed and said, "Sorry, I should have asked you in advance."
"You should have asked me in advance." He Chuyue leaned against the cabinet to change her shoes and scratched her neck unconsciously. "You should have told me last night that you were coming here today, instead of telling me when we got here."
She stood still: "I'm serious with you. If I live here, I won't be able to move out within three years. Of course, you can't bring anyone in. I can't control the future, but I'm the only one who can live here for the next three years, so you have to think it over."
Xiao Zhiyan looked at her neck and frowned: "Think about it."
"Okay." He Chuyue changed the hand that was scratching her neck to scratching her face, "Where is my room?"
"What's wrong with you?" He pulled her hand down and took her to a place with more sunlight. He saw the red spots on her neck and face. "Are you allergic?"
He Chuyue felt a chill in her heart when he held her hand.
She forgot that Xiao Zhiyan's cat was also there.
“Woof woof woof!”
Latte's barking came from somewhere in the room. He Chuyue called it but it didn't respond, so she pulled Xiao Zhiyan to find it.
"Where did you put the cat? He must be meowing at it."
As soon as he finished speaking, a golden cat ran out of the room, followed by Latte...
Five minutes later, the cat and the dog were locked in two rooms respectively. He Chuyue sat on the sofa and let Xiao Zhiyan play with them.
"Hiss—I'll do it myself in front of the mirror."
He Chuyue tried to reach out for the medicine bottle again, but Xiao Zhiyan dodged her.
He doesn't look well.
He Chuyue, who didn't get the seat, could only sit down obediently: "I didn't tell you that I was allergic to cat hair, and you didn't tell me that you wanted to live here, so we're even, okay? Are you trying to show off to me on the first day of living together by making a face?"
Hearing this, Xiao Zhiyan's tightly pursed lips finally relaxed, "I didn't."
He Chuyue thought he said he wasn't upset, so she didn't care and patiently explained, "I didn't say it at the beginning because I didn't want us to live together. Think about it, you saw that I have a dog, so you said you also have a cat, and then I responded by saying that I'm allergic to cat hair? What does that mean? It makes me seem like I really want to live with you."
The man's hand trembled and two drops of potion splashed out.
"Later, I thought living together could also be a way of acting, so I bought another apartment upstairs or downstairs from your family building, so that I wouldn't be afraid of being caught if I suddenly attacked. Anyway, I wouldn't have the chance to meet the cat. Who knew I would think like this now."
Xiao Zhiyan cleaned the house very cleanly, and there was not a single cat hair on the floor. However, He Chuyue felt itchy again when she thought that the cat might have rolled around where she was sitting.
But her allergy came suddenly and disappeared quickly. After comforting Xiao Zhiyan, she began to look at the house and asked tentatively: "How much is your house? No, I grit my teeth and buy a house upstairs?"
Glancing over, He Chuyue said aggrievedly: "Why are you glaring at me?"
She put the band-aid on her finger in front of him and said, "Look, I got hurt in various ways in order to hide the truth, and in the end I still have to face your cold face. Don't I deserve it?"
"I didn't glare at you, it was me who handled it improperly."
He put away the medicine bottle, still worried: "Let's go to the hospital first."
"It's okay. This medicine has no effect on pregnant women. I've checked it. While I'm still packing my suitcase, shall we go to the family building? There's still time to rent a house upstairs."
Xiao Zhiyan grabbed her wrist and said, "Chu Yue, there's no need to do this."
He Chuyue looked at him and asked, "So which one do you want?"
She had made up her mind that if Xiao Zhiyan dared to tell her to be patient, she would take the latte and leave immediately.
"Please sit down for a moment. I'll take care of it."
He stood up, but this time it was He Chuyue who held him back: "I think I need to know how you deal with this."
Xiao Zhiyan didn't move, as if he found this particularly difficult, but he didn't hide it and turned his face to say: "Send the coffee away."
I didn't expect that Xiao Zhiyan would go to such a length for me. In addition to being touched, another emotion quickly rose in my heart.
strangeness.
Totally different from being patient with latte at home.
Holding his wrist and lowering it, she heard herself asking incredulously, "You're going to send it away? Where? To a pet store or to a family member to take care of it?"
"I--"
"No matter which one it is, that's not its home. Xiao Zhiyan, I don't know how long you've kept it, but if you're sending it away because of me, then I'd rather be the one leaving."
...
The lights in the Patrol Mountain Villa were bright as if midnight had dissipated.
He Chuyue was dragged by Xiao Sheng to appraise treasures in front of the shelf, and she didn't even notice Qi Yan coming in with a fruit plate.
"Niuniu, how is it? Is the dinner tonight to your liking?"
He Chuyue narrowed her eyes, took the fruit plate and put it down: "These are all my favorites, thank you, mom."
Qi Yan's eyes were filled with love, but also a little reproachful: "We are a family, why should we be so polite? You should also say thank you when I serve you food. You have said thank you so many times this whole night."
He Chuyue accepted it: "Okay."
Xiao Sheng patted Qi Yan's hand, his eyes full of admiration: "Ayan, let me tell you, I didn't expect Niuniu to be such an expert. Her eyes are so beautiful and she knows how to see. Our Zhizhi is really a treasure!"
Qi Yan was also happy.
She originally thought that the two were just having a simple chat, but who would have thought that they were talking about antiques and even seemed to be having a very pleasant conversation.
"Niuniu, how did you know this? Did you learn it from your uncle-in-law?"
He Chuyue generously took the blueberries handed to her by Qi Yan and replied with a smile: "No, I met a client later and he taught me."
Seeing that both of them wanted to ask, she took the initiative to say, "The old man said that his son and daughter-in-law always quarreled, and he wanted someone to help them get a divorce. I also learned that the old man actually has Alzheimer's disease and has no judgment ability. His son thought that it was better for him to come to the law firm to see me every day than to stay at home and think about it, so he asked me to guide him to ask some questions about antiques. The old man likes this, and his memory has gradually improved after talking to me more."
Xiao Sheng laughed so hard that he couldn't close his mouth: "There is such a wonderful encounter. What happened to the old man later?"
"At that time, his son was in the process of going abroad, and later the whole family immigrated."
The two looked at each other with regret. At last, Xiao Sheng asked again: "In life, there are always regrets. For example, my son won't play chess with me. Playing chess is my regret."
Qi Yan was about to tease him when she heard He Chuyue recommend herself: "Dad, what kind of chess are you playing? I'll play with you?"
Without waiting for Qi Yan to speak, Xiao Sheng had already agreed and went to get the chessboard diligently.
The two of them went downstairs and were very excited. Qi Yan did not stay in the study any longer and went to look for Xiao Zhiyan, but found him in the study on the other side.
Holding the phone, I don’t know what I’m thinking.
"Why are you here?"
Xiao Zhiyan looked at him and said, "Mom."
Qi Yan walked closer and closed the door. "What's wrong? Did you have a bad argument with Niuniu today?"
Xiao Zhiyan's eyes dodged, "Mom, you think too much."
The two didn't speak to each other the whole day after that incident, and only left together at dinner time. Although they acted very harmonious at home, they still felt uncomfortable.
Qi Yan didn't expose him and asked him to sit down: "Zhizhi, Niuniu got pregnant and married you because you didn't fulfill your responsibility as a man. You should treat her twice as well after marriage. Even if you don't agree, she is your wife and the person closest to you. You should discuss it with her."
"You have been independent since you were young. You are used to making your own decisions and are not used to discussing with others. We, as your parents, know that we owe you. Even if we feel bad, we will tolerate you. But now that you and Niuniu are married and have your own family, you should no longer be so independent and should learn to discuss with others. An engagement is not as simple as getting a marriage certificate, living together, and having a child, do you understand?"
There was only a desk lamp on in the study, and moonlight poured in from the window, falling on Xiao Zhiyan's shoulder.
He nodded: "Thank you, Mom. I understand."
Xiao Zhiyan had already opened the door and went out. Qi Yan then remembered that she had not yet told him where He Chuyue was, and then she saw him walking straight towards the study.
It would be better if this child was smarter. He would get things quickly.
Qi Yan quickly took out her cell phone to send a message to Xiao Sheng, asking him to make room.
In the study.
A lamp, a pot of tea, a tea table, and two people playing chess.
There was one party who was obviously in collapse, holding his head. He Chuyue was in a dilemma. She wanted to end it but was afraid of hurting Xiao Sheng's face. She was in a dilemma.
The two played Gobang, Chinese chess, international chess, and Go, and Xiaosheng lost every game, regardless of the type of chess he played. In the second game, He Chuyue had already seen Xiao Sheng's level and intentionally let him win. However, his chess skills were so poor that even if she emptied the Three Gorges Dam, Xiao Sheng still couldn't win.
No wonder Qi Yan had that expression when she heard about playing chess. Now He Chuyue finally understood, but it was too late.
Qi Yan is gone, and now no one can save her.
“Zhizhi.”
He Chuyue suddenly turned her head and met the eyes of the person at the door.
Xiao Sheng looked alert, protecting He Chuyue like a child, "Niuniu is playing chess with me, come back later to ask for her."
He Chuyue looked away and made a move.
"Niuniu, I've told you so many times, don't let me win. Dad can win."
The chess pieces were stuffed into the phone, and Xiao Sheng urged: "Come on, play again."
He Chuyue smiled bitterly. As she looked at the chessboard, her thoughts drifted away with the falling shadow. She held the chess piece in her hand for a long time without knowing where to put it.
Xiao Zhiyan did not sit in the chair next to him, but leaned against the back of He Chuyue's chair, put his arm around her and enveloped her in the projection.
Her fingertips were gentle, and she suddenly loosened her grip, letting the black spot fall into the palm of her waiting hand.
He Chuyue turned her head to look, only to see that face almost passing over her. The tall nose bridge and smooth lines blocked the light, leaving only him in the corner of her eyes.
Her breathing was staggered, and she heard a crisp sound.
Xiao Zhiyan placed the chess piece on the square and captured five of Xiao Sheng's white pieces at once.
"Tsk! Watching chess in silence!" Xiao Sheng was angry!
Xiao Zhiyan was thinking the same thing, so he took He Chuyue's hand and was about to leave: "Then I violated the rules, and we lose."
"Hey, forget it, next time, next time."
Within ten moves, there were no more white pieces on the chessboard.
Xiao glared at him angrily, almost overturned the table, and chased him away.
The time was almost up, and the two prepared to leave. It was not until Qi Yan stuffed a lot of nutritional supplements into the trunk that the off-road vehicle finally started.
There was silence all the way until we stopped downstairs.
"Chu Yue, don't rush to get off the car, let's talk."
He Chuyue turned her face away: "Talk."
"today--"
He Chuyue couldn't figure it out, so she interrupted him directly: "If you follow my idea, you can at least play 20 rounds with dad, but you gave him nothing in 8 moves. Is he your dad or mine? Xiao Zhiyan, you treat your own dad like this, and even send your cat away because of others. Do you have any feelings for him?"
The emotionless questioning was like the howling cold wind outside the window, and the voice was so shaky that even He Chuyue was startled.
She was so angry.
She got angry at her partner just because of such a small thing.
She didn't know what she was angry about, or what Xiao Zhiyan was angry about. The subconscious fear and dread forced her to get herself into the state.
fear?
He Chuyue came back to her senses.
Xiao Zhiyan looked at a loss: "You were very happy when you saw me come in, I thought you——"
"I... when did I see you happy?" He Chuyue was tongue-tied, "You... not only do you not know how to be roundabout, you are also shameless."
With her chest heaving violently, He Chuyue returned to the question: "Your father was unhappy in the end anyway, so go and apologize yourself."
"Feel sorry."
He Chuyue glared at him, "Why are you apologizing to me?"
She really felt that she couldn't understand Xiao Zhiyan's way of thinking and they couldn't get along at all.
Her breathing became heavier, and she felt like she was going to be pissed to death by Xiao Zhiyan.
"I know you want to make Dad happy, but I want to make you happy."
cough......
My breathing was disrupted and I went to see him choking.
The latter reached out and patted her back to soothe her breath, his tone so gentle that it almost softened He Chuyue's ears: "I didn't discuss what happened during the day with you. I made you unhappy. I apologize to you. Lawyer He, can you give me a chance to make a new beginning?"
"......"
He Chuyue was annoyed: "I am a lawyer, not a judge. Professor Xiao can't even tell the difference."
"But I know a lawyer."
She raised an eyebrow.
so?
He became overbearing: "So you have to help me, Lawyer He."
He Chuyue was unwilling: "Why?"
"Because I want to know if there is any chance to make amends, and only the person involved knows how to do it."
"Chu Yue, I'm sorry. I sincerely apologize to you."
So formal?
She loosened up.
Clearing her throat, she sat up straighter, facing him.
"I'm not the kind of person who won't give in to others even if they are right. Today is our first day as roommates, so if there are any conflicts, we just need to resolve them."
"Xiao Zhiyan, you have to know that my coming here is part of our cooperation. We don't owe each other anything. We have come here because of mutual achievement. It is a mutually beneficial result. But it is not my original intention to harm your interests because of this. Even if you don't mind, or if your interests are harmed for the sake of someone else, you are forced to make a decision that goes against your heart. This is not what I want to see."
"In today's matter, coffee is your interest."
"Mom said that Coffee is the kitten you have raised for three years. It has accompanied you for more than a thousand days and nights in a foreign country. I know how important it is to you. But the child and I are inseparable at the moment. I can't choose one or the other, but I can try to change, such as taking medicine and desensitization."
"Actually, I was scared when I opened the door tonight. I was afraid that once I came out you would say you gave the coffee away. I won't hide it from you. If that really happened, I would leave right away. I don't like my partners to hide things from me, including acting on their own initiative."
Her eyes were bright and dazzling under the moonlight, and Xiao Zhiyan could only stare at her and into her eyes.
Those pure, sincere, moon-like eyes.
"I won't." He responded with equal sincerity.
The back of his hand felt hot, and he lowered his eyes, but heard her say, "Xiao Zhiyan, this has nothing to do with the agreement. It's the first thing we discussed after we got married."
She put pressure on her fingertips and said it more bluntly: "I don't want to send Coffee away. I don't want my arrival to make everything in the house missing, including the cat."
