Chapter 9 Love Moon 009 "What are you doing...
Silence, deafening silence.
He Chuyue noticed Dai Wenchun's scrutiny from the corner of her eye, and felt a chill on her back. But she was in a dilemma and could only hint to the other party with a stiff tongue, praying that Xiao Zhiyan, the taciturn man, would pick up her conversation.
"I just woke up and I'm shopping with my aunt. What are you doing?"
Please, please! !
If you can accept any conditions, just ask!
He Chuyue pressed the volume button, and the white progress bar slowly moved up, and up, until it reached the end.
Feeling the impatience of the person beside her, He Chuyue had barely opened her mouth to explain when the next second, a cold voice, accompanied by an electric current but still clear, came from her palm.
"Playing chess."
finally.
He Chuyue breathed a sigh of relief, but before she reached the bottom, she was tripped again by his stiff tone.
"Baby."
"Cough, cough, cough!"
He Chuyue's face turned red instantly.
"So careless."
Xiao Zhiyan heard another voice coming from the receiver and guessed that it was He Chuyue's aunt. His ears, which had just been heated by He Chuyue's tone, cooled down.
"Are you okay?" he asked.
He Chuyue waved her hands, then remembered that she was on the phone and he couldn't see her.
Before she could catch her breath, her palm was empty and her cell phone had been taken away by Dai Wenchun.
"Xiao Xiao, right? I'm Niuniu's aunt."
There was a pause for a few seconds, "Hello, Auntie."
Neither humble nor arrogant!
He Chuyue gave Xiao Zhiyan a thumbs up in her heart.
"Hello." Dai Wenchun looked over here, and the latter immediately sat up straight. Dai Wenchun ignored her and lied solemnly: "Niuniu was choked and couldn't speak. She asked me to tell you that she is fine."
He Chuyue: “…”
Dai Wenchun sat down opposite again, and with the background music from the coffee shop interfering, He Chuyue could no longer hear Xiao Zhiyan's voice.
It was unknown what he said, but the smile on Dai Wenchun's lips widened, and even the look in his eyes when he looked at her was full of joy.
He Chuyue on the side was dumbfounded.
Can Xiao Zhiyan make Dai Wenchun laugh with just two sentences? Why is she so unconvinced?
"Niuniu is shy. You only told me about your relationship now. Thank you for your hard work at the hospital last time. Can you come to my house for a simple meal when you have time?"
"Aunt——"
“Tsk!”
Dai Wenchun dodged her hand and glared at her, but his tone was completely different from the other end's. "Don't ask her. Why ask her? Auntie has made the decision for her. I'll let you have dinner at home. Is that okay?"
"Okay, see you the day after tomorrow."
I picked up the phone, but the call had already been hung up.
"Aunt, don't scare him." He Chuyue wiped the cold sweat from her forehead.
She was nearly frightened to death anyway.
"He's made of paper? How could he be scared by a phone call?" Dai Wenchun glanced at her, "I've told Xiao Xiao to come to my house for dinner on Tuesday, so you're not allowed to work overtime that day."
"On Tuesday I—"
Dai Wenchun glared again.
He Chuyue said honestly: "I know."
Going to the supermarket was just an excuse, but because of the sudden schedule on Tuesday, the aunt and nephew really went to the supermarket.
No matter what he saw along the way, Dai Wenchun would always ask, "Xiao Xiao, do you like to eat this? Buy some." He Chuyue had no idea what Xiao Zhiyan's taste was, so she could only follow her own taste. Finally, Dai Wenchun came to his senses and glared at her: "Aren't these all your favorites?"
"Yeah." Her heart sank again.
"I asked you where Xiao Xiao was, what did you say you were doing?"
He Chuyue took Dai Wenchun's arm and said in confusion: "It's okay, auntie, he eats everything, just buy what I like to eat, he loves it."
"That won't do. Your partner shouldn't take it seriously when he comes to your house for the first time? At least we should have this intention, right?" Dai Wenchun saw the fresh sea bass again and was delighted. "It's really fresh. Wait until Tuesday and I'll ask your uncle to come and pick it out. He knows how to tell if it's freshly killed."
Walking into the seafood area, the water in each fish tank is more visibly rippled under the light, and you can even see the reflective scales of the fish as they tumble.
He Chuyue felt as if all her senses were amplified, her stomach being pulled by the slippery movements in the bathtub.
She pulled the shopping cart and didn't move forward, but the fishy smell had already spread to her nose, leaving her nostrils with no chance of escape, and disrupted her breathing.
"vomit--"
Dai Wenchun ran over immediately after hearing the voice: "What happened?"
He Chuyue squatted on the ground and retched. The dazzling light from the lamp made her feel even more uncomfortable. Reason told her that she couldn't say she was pregnant now, but her stomach didn't give her a chance, so she could only try harder to vomit it all out.
...
After drinking a glass of warm water, He Chuyue met Dai Wenchun's eyes and her whole body tensed up.
"I really haven't been eating well recently. You see, I used to vomit because of irregular eating habits. It's an old problem."
Dai Wenchun sighed again, his tone full of blame: "You and Xiao Xiao, don't you two eat together?"
Oops.
He Chuyue had forgotten about this and was afraid that Xiao Zhiyan would have a bad impression, so she quickly explained: "Let's eat together. We made an appointment to have dinner together tonight. He also came to see me two days ago, but I'm not in the hospital to accompany you."
"Well, it's almost time now. Should he come to pick you up or should you go by yourself?"
Before He Chuyue could even finish the words "go by yourself", Dai Wenchun had already made the decision for her: "Let him pick you up. It's almost time. Why don't you call him?"
He Chuyue felt like she had dug a hole and buried herself.
Do the whole act.
She took out her phone and stopped at Xiao Zhiyan's phone page. She didn't dial and asked Dai Wenchun, "Then let me ask him to take you home first, and then we'll go out for dinner."
Dai Wenchun didn't respond. A few seconds passed between the aunt and nephew, and then the aunt shook her head: "It's not good to trouble others for the first time. I'll wait for two days to see you at home on Tuesday night."
He Chuyue was delighted, but she didn't dare to show it. She suppressed the corners of her mouth and asked, "Then I'll call a taxi for you now?"
"I can fight myself. I'll watch you get in the car before I leave."
"......"
Dai Wenchun was indeed worthy of being the class teacher for many years. His sharp gaze and strong attitude made He Chuyue's back wet.
She had never told a lie since she was a child. She didn't know why she had to lie to Dai Wenchun one lie after another because of Xiao Zhiyan. He Chuyue felt very depressed. This emotion continued until she got into Xiao Zhiyan's car.
"seat belt."
He Chuyue met Xiao Zhiyan's eyes and came back to her senses.
"Excuse me."
A knock was particularly abrupt in the silence. The driver did not look away. He Chuyue finally broke free from his thoughts and explained the phone call.
"I'm sorry to bother you during dinner time. I vomited in front of my aunt. I was afraid of being exposed so I talked about other things and talked about our dinner appointment in the evening, and then..." She paused and just asked, "Did I disturb your dinner?"
Twenty minutes ago, Xiao Zhiyan was sitting at the dining table, toasting with his family to celebrate his parents' wedding anniversary and to prepare for their departure the day after tomorrow.
Melodious symphony notes filled every corner of the house. Xiao Zhiyan counted the beats. At this moment, the cell phone beside him vibrated. On it was the name he had seen for the second time today.
While his parents were dancing in the living room, Xiao Zhiyan left the table, answered the phone, returned, announced his departure, and disappeared in full sight of his brother and sister-in-law.
Therefore, He Chuyue's call did not disturb his dinner.
Xiao Zhiyan's white and bony fingers tapped the steering wheel, making an almost faint sound in the small space.
The probability light passed in front of the car, stopped at the fingertips, and Xiao Zhiyan's clear voice broke the silence.
"No bother."
He Chuyue's gaze moved away and moved back again.
"Thanks for your hard work."
It took her a few seconds to realize that he was talking about morning sickness. He Chuyue frowned slightly, thinking that Xiao Zhiyan's train of thought was really strange, and then she felt that he was indeed a dull person.
......
But also sincere.
He Chuyue did not appreciate his kindness, and she didn't care about the apology on his lips. Anyway, she had her own selfish reasons for keeping the child, and she didn't expect Xiao Zhiyan to understand her more.
"Can you let me go a little further? My aunt should be watching us."
Xiao Zhiyan answered the question irrelevantly: "Did you eat dinner?"
“No.”
"Let's go, then."
"Where are you going?"
He Chuyue's eyes were full of questions, and Xiao Zhiyan started the car.
"Dinner." He stepped on the accelerator. "You said so."
...
On the way, He Chuyue took the opportunity to express her apologies to Xiao Zhiyan for today's sudden attack and unauthorized decision, and expressed her gratitude to Xiao Zhiyan for his cooperation. But no matter what she said, Xiao Zhiyan was indifferent. He responded at the beginning but fell silent afterwards.
He Chuyue was unsure whether he was angry or not, nor was she sure to what extent he was angry. She kept silent and quickly formulated a response plan in her mind.
At this moment, the car stopped by the roadside and her thoughts were interrupted.
I heard the sound of clothes rubbing against each other beside my ear, and subconsciously looked in the direction of the sound. I was caught off guard and fell into a pair of pupils that were dimmed by the street lights, and was startled.
Night.
On the snack street in the university town, she sat on the passenger seat next to a man who only knew her on four sides, listening to the uneven noise outside the window and feeling the silence inside the car. The sense of disconnection in her heart made her tighten her gaze on Xiao Zhiyan's face.
If the invisible could be made visible, He Chuyue's eyes flashed and fell on the shadow under his lenses.
Then there might be a hole here.
"No need to apologize."
The man pulled her back into the deep pool without saying a word.
He Chuyue felt something sliding in her throat, as if she was really having difficulty breathing, like a person falling into the water.
"You don't have to apologize to me for anything you do."
“There is no deadline.”
Extreme honesty turns into a powerful hand that pulls the drowning person ashore.
A drowning person will have hallucinations, but He Chuyue did not.
She truly felt Xiao Zhiyan's intuitive respect.
A strange feeling began to spread.
She rarely lets her emotions get affected by someone, nor will she be influenced by their words, but Xiao Zhiyan did it.
Today her heart has been swaying with the name Xiao Zhiyan all day long.
Xiao Zhiyan, who was unaware of the situation, paused, as if he was choosing his words, and separated and clasped his crossed hands again. He spoke again, very solemnly.
"In this relationship, I should be the one saying sorry to you."
"But not just sorry."
"You didn't respond to the information I sent you, and I want to know what you think."
