Chapter 34
When I got home, Song Yizhu seemed not to have returned yet, and the whole floor was quiet.
Xu Zhiyan glanced at her door, paused, and finally went into her room.
She originally wanted to talk to Song Yizhu, but after thinking about it, she decided not to. After all, it was not a big problem.
The river view in midsummer is quite nice. At night, the neon lights are reflected on the river. From a distance, it looks quiet and vast, as if it can accommodate everything.
Xu Zhiyan's gaze fell on the distance, and his mind was a little blank.
I don’t know how long I sat on the balcony, but suddenly there was a movement from the balcony door next to me, and a white figure swayed and sat casually on the rattan chair.
She seemed not to notice Xu Zhiyan next to her. She was facing the river opposite. She was no longer wearing the complicated dress, only a white shirt and dress pants. Her sleeves were rolled up, revealing most of her arms.
Xu Zhiyan's gaze unconsciously fell on her. She always felt that there was something wrong with the person on that side, but when she looked closely, there seemed to be nothing wrong.
She just sat quietly on the rattan chair, with her legs crossed and her face supported, not knowing what she was thinking about, quietly.
Just when Xu Zhiyan thought she just came out to get some fresh air and look at the river view, she suddenly straightened up, and as if she had changed her magic, a brown wine bottle appeared in her hand.
It must have been held hanging down, blocked by her thighs, so she didn't see it.
Xu Zhiyan looked at her movements with some curiosity. No wonder she felt that something was wrong with Song Yizhu. Could she be drunk?
While I was still speculating, the person next to me had already raised his head and taken a sip of wine.
Drink from the bottle...
Song Yizhu is so brave.
Xu Zhiyan simply gave up the river view in front of him and instead stared at Song Yizhu silently.
The other person stopped after only two sips, put the bottle down again, and continued to support his face.
I also know not to drink too much.
This posture probably means he is not drunk.
However, Song Yizhu is probably not a person who likes to drink, and there is no special wine stored in the house.
If you don't drink because you love it, then it means you have something bothering you, right?
Xu Zhiyan made random guesses and didn't think the person opposite her would notice her thoughts. It would be difficult for them to notice her now, so how could they know what she was thinking?
As expected, the person on the other side didn't turn his head to look at her at all. Maybe he noticed it, but Xu Zhiyan didn't notice it.
I looked down at the time. It was already ten o'clock in the evening. At this time, the Marshal should be getting ready for bed.
It seems that the worries in my heart are really big.
Xu Zhiyan was thinking this when suddenly there was some movement on the opposite side. She suddenly came to her senses and met Song Yizhu's gaze. Her heart seemed to be burned, causing her to subconsciously avoid it.
What is she hiding from?
She didn't peek!
She was watching it openly, and she was the one who sat down first.
After reacting, Xu Zhiyan looked back, but the other party had already withdrawn his gaze, as if he didn't care about her existence.
Xu Zhi was so angry that he ground his teeth.
It would have been fine if she hadn't noticed before because she was too quiet, but now that she had clearly discovered it, she was pretending nothing had happened and didn't take her seriously at all!
Song Yizhu acted as if she didn't exist, and the peach wood pheromones on his body emanated again, stronger than before, as if he did it on purpose for her to smell it.
The air was filled with the aroma of peach wood, which was astringent and not as soft and sweet as usual. It was more like peach gum formed after the peach wood was damaged by external forces. It still had the fragrance of the wood, but it made people feel inexplicably bitter.
Now she really suspected that Song Yizhu was drunk. She had previously suspected that she was deliberately releasing her pheromones, but now it seemed that she really did it on purpose.
It was clearly a breathable place, but her pheromones were spreading wildly as if they were free, disturbing her heart.
Their eyes met again, and Song Yizhu frowned slightly. She couldn't see clearly in the night. The person opposite her looked a little familiar, but she was a little confused at the moment and couldn't tell who it was.
The two looked at each other, but no one spoke first. The atmosphere was a little awkward for a moment, but it was only Xu Zhiyan who was embarrassed. After all, Song Yizhu still looked like nothing had happened.
"Are you drunk?" Song Yizhu did not move her eyes away. Xu Zhiyan could only walk over from this side of the balcony and sit on the other side of her, asking awkwardly.
The other party was stunned for two seconds, then shook his head.
"Do you remember who I am?" He didn't look drunk.
"My...wife." Song Yizhu frowned deeply, obviously the result of hard thinking.
These four short words made Xu Zhiyan's breathing stop for two seconds.
Aren't they partners? There's no one else here, so there's no need to act so realistically.
"Do you still remember my name?" Xu Zhiyan asked again tentatively, his voice full of inquiry.
"Xu Zhiyan." This time she didn't hesitate, as if she remembered everything. She answered quickly and firmly, almost scaring Xu Zhiyan into sitting upright.
The tone was so serious that if you didn't know better you would think he was scolding someone.
Is he drunk or not?
Xu Zhiyan couldn't help but frown. His mind was clear and he could recognize the person, but his mouth looked abnormal.
Her eyes fell on Song Yizhu's lips. The lip color was light, the lower lip was thin, but still plump.
"What's wrong?" Song Yizhu was originally supporting her face, but when she noticed her eyes fell on her lips, she simply turned to face her.
"No, it's okay. Aren't you going to rest? It's very late." The sudden sight made her panic for a moment. Her eyes were flushed and misty, and she looked easy to bully, just like her emotional appearance during her sensitive period.
"It's okay, you don't have to go to the military headquarters tomorrow." Song Yizhu shook his head slightly and looked away again.
Hearing this, Xu Zhiyan nodded, not quite understanding. As a marshal, isn’t she busy?
It seems... she is quite busy. Apart from the few days when she is susceptible to the virus, she has not met her much.
"Aren't you going to sleep yet?"
"Ready." It didn't matter whether he slept or not. It was only a certain time now. Who would go to bed early on a holiday? Xu Zhiyan added silently in her heart that only Song Yizhu went to bed before 11 o'clock every day. It was simply the sleep schedule of an elderly person.
Song Yizhu hummed lightly in response, and then looked at Jiang Ye in front of him without saying anything else.
"Are you in a bad mood? Drinking alone late at night." Xu Zhiyan also looked into the distance like her. The river view, which had been seen bit by bit, would be a little boring no matter how beautiful it was.
"No." Song Yizhu glanced at her and replied very quickly, which seemed more like a cover-up that had been seen through.
"Feeling guilty?" Xu Zhiyan half-jokingly and half-guessingly said this, but the person opposite him was completely silent.
Song Yizhu took another sip of wine, not even daring to meet her gaze. He just stared straight ahead. He had been looking at the same scene for so long that he must be tired of it.
