Apologize
At the banquet, a tall figure rushed to the pool regardless of everything and jumped into the water.
Screams rang out again in the crowd, and the situation gradually became out of control.
The sun was exceptionally bright that day, so Shang Xu felt the warmth of the sun when he first entered the water. However, as his body continued to sink, the coolness of the water became stronger and stronger. This was nothing for him who had been exercising all year round.
He just felt that she would be cold and was afraid of losing her again.
…
As the night deepened, the lights in the merchant's villa dimmed considerably.
The merchant stood outside the door, a cane in his hand, his eyes fixed on the little boy lying on the big bed. He hesitated for a moment, then slowly said, "Ah Xu..."
"Grandpa, I'm going to sleep."
There was a chill in the childish voice.
Then, the merchant saw the child on the bed grab the quilt, turn over and close his eyes.
Still mad at him.
The merchant reached out to turn off the light, then gently closed the door and sighed helplessly: "Ah Xu, don't blame Grandpa."
Then the old man left with the help of his crutches.
The room was plunged into darkness, and since there was only one person in it, Shang Xu felt inexplicably irritated. He got up from the bed, walked barefoot to the floor-to-ceiling window, and pulled open the light-proof curtains.
The night wind was mixed with a hint of coolness, ruffling the black hair on his forehead. Shang Xu stood in front of the window, looking up at the bright moon. It was so bright and flawless that he wanted to treasure it in his heart forever.
For some reason, he was obviously stunned for a moment, then he withdrew his gaze, snorted coldly, and turned to walk towards the bed.
A person like him would actually have such thoughts.
The night was getting deeper and deeper. The bright moonlight spread evenly on the white quilt. The little boy on the bed closed his eyes tightly and fell asleep unknowingly. He slept more peacefully than usual.
That night, he had a strange dream and met a special person.
Rays of sunlight shone through the gaps between the leaves, and the air around was filled with intermittent crying sounds.
Shang Xu stood under a big banyan tree, and heard soft sobbing sounds in his ears. He frowned and tried to move forward, but he couldn't get out. It turned out that there was a layer of transparent barrier around the banyan tree. He could see the scenery outside, but couldn't get out.
Knowing that this was another cage, Shang Xu simply leaned against the tree. Just as he was about to close his eyes, the crying sound in his ears never stopped. It was difficult for him to describe this sound. It was soft and made him feel itchy in his heart, and inexplicably irritated.
He walked around the banyan tree.
"It's so noisy."
The little girl, who was originally crying, cried even harder after hearing this fierce and cold voice.
My head suddenly started to hurt.
Shang Xu closed his eyes and looked back at the small group of people huddled together under the tree. He said with a bit of awkwardness, trying to make his voice sound gentler: "Don't cry. How can you be happier?"
Yu Yueyue, with tears in her eyes, stopped crying instantly, looked at him with eyes full of confusion, and then couldn't help laughing out loud.
The person who was mean to her just now is now begging her to stop crying, and she doesn't seem to be at all averse to the person in front of her.
Yu Yueyue wiped the tears from her face with her hands and said softly, "Unless you tell a joke and read it as I said."
Shang Xu was a little surprised to hear her request and agreed without thinking, but when he heard her so-called joke, he instantly wanted to take back what he had said.
After Yu Yueyue finished speaking, she looked up at him, her eyes bright and filled with a hint of expectation.
Shang Xu: “…”
He took a deep breath and spoke with some difficulty, "Every summer when I eat watermelon, I pick out the seeds one by one from the cut watermelon and give the clean watermelon flesh to my dog. But one day, my greedy dog ate my share while I was picking out the seeds. So when I saw a few pieces of watermelon rind on the ground, I hugged my dog and burst into tears. I wasn't crying because the dog had eaten my watermelon, but because the dog didn't have much time left. Soon the watermelon seeds would sprout and grow in its stomach..."
By the time he finished telling the joke, Yu Yueyue was already laughing out of breath, and her shoulders were shaking uncontrollably.
This was an embarrassing thing that happened to her when she was a child. Later, her grandmother made it into a joke. Whenever she was unhappy, her grandmother would use this joke to cheer her up.
However, when the fierce-looking boy in front of her told this joke, she inexplicably wanted to laugh and was not afraid that he would be angry at all, because she felt that he was different from those who bullied her.
In front of him, she felt the joy of doing whatever she wanted, which was something she had never experienced before.
After finishing his speech, Shang Xu coughed lightly a few times, and then he encountered a bright smile.
The girl smiled with her lips curved, the breeze ruffling her smooth black hair, her bright eyes fixed on him firmly: "My name is Nuonuo, which means promise."
He stood there, stunned for a moment.
"And you?"
"Shang Xu."
The wind was very light, and two fallen leaves slowly fell to the ground.
It has just begun.
-
Yu Yueyue walked out of the changing room slowly. She was not seriously injured after falling into the water just now, but the image of the little boy kept appearing in her mind.
This made her feel a little uneasy. She always felt like she had forgotten someone very important.
"Miss, are you feeling better?" Butler Lu came over at this time, his tone concerned.
Yu Yueyue pursed her lips and smiled: "I'm fine, Housekeeper Lu, you don't have to worry."
"That's good." Butler Lu breathed a sigh of relief. "When I heard that you fell into the water, the young master was very worried."
Speaking of him, Yu Yueyue's heart suddenly paused. She asked uncertainly, "So... was it Shang Xu who saved me?"
Butler Lu replied, "Yes, fortunately the young master reacted quickly."
"Then where is he now? Why can't I see him?" Yu Yueyue felt a little confused.
Butler Lu said, "Miss, follow me."
After saying that, Yu Yueyue followed Butler Lu into a long and narrow corridor. After walking for a while, she was suddenly blocked by someone.
Yu Yueyue recognized that person; she was the woman who pushed her into the water.
The woman's hair was a little messy, and her body was trembling slightly: "Miss Yu, I'm sorry, it was my fault that you fell into the water and almost died."
Yu Yueyue listened with an indescribable complex emotion. Thinking of those who had bullied her before, could she hear the long-awaited sorry?
Suddenly, the woman grabbed her hand and shouted anxiously: "Miss Yu, please let our family go..."
Yu Yueyue looked at the woman with impure intentions, pushed her hand away, and said firmly, "Miss, I'm sorry, you've got the wrong person."
Hearing this, the woman's face turned ugly. She glanced at Yu Yueyue, then she clicked her tongue and walked away arrogantly.
"Miss, the young master will handle these things himself, so don't take it too seriously." Butler Lu observed the expression on Yu Yueyue's face and looked a little worried.
Yu Yueyue curled her lips and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Housekeeper Lu, I won't take such a person to heart."
After hearing this, Butler Lu breathed a sigh of relief. He originally thought that the young lady would mind the young master's behavior, but now it seems that the young lady actually likes the young master very much.
Afterwards, Butler Lu happily took Yu Yueyue to the young master.
As soon as she entered, Yu Yueyue heard that familiar voice.
Shang Xu's eyes fell on her and he opened his thin lips slightly: "Are you okay?"
Meeting those tender black eyes, Yu Yueyue felt a little uncomfortable for a moment. She avoided his gaze and whispered, "I'm fine."
"What's your name?" His tone was emotionless.
"ah?"
Yu Yueyue turned her gaze back to him, her face full of confusion, but then she quickly realized what he meant and blushed unconsciously.
Shang Xu casually observed the rich expressions on her face, feeling inexplicably enjoyed.
"Husband." Yu Yueyue said hesitantly, with a hint of shyness in her tone.
I don't know how she can speak so fluently.
"Well," he raised the corners of his lips, his voice low and pleasant, "Are you hungry? I'll take you to eat hot pot, something you've been thinking about."
After Yu Yueyue came to her senses, she was led out by Shang Xu.
"How do you know I like hot pot?" She was confused.
He replied, "In a dream."
Yu Yueyue was even more confused now. When did she talk in her sleep? She shouldn't have been talking nonsense back then!
-
In a private room in a high-end hot pot restaurant.
The young waitress walked over to the table and politely asked, "Hello, what kind of soup base would you like?"
Shang Xu's eyes fell on her and he opened his thin lips slightly: "What kind of soup base do you want?"
Yu Yueyue raised her eyes to look at him and asked softly, "Can you handle spicy food?"
Shang Xu hummed calmly, then turned to the young waitress and said, "I want spicy hot pot."
Soon after the conversation ended, the waitress changed a spicy hot pot for the two of them, then placed the hot pot ingredients neatly on the table, and then turned and left the private room.
The fresh ingredients soaked in the steaming spicy soup quickly become flavorful.
Yu Yueyue stared at the tempting ingredients in the pot and swallowed unconsciously. She was so greedy.
Shang Xu looked at her disappointing appearance, curled up the corners of his lips, and lowered his head to pick up the delicious meat slices from the pot and put them into her bowl.
Because she suddenly fell into the water today, she didn't eat anything, not to mention that she was eating hot pot. Yu Yueyue didn't think much about it, she just lowered her head and started eating with relish.
After she finished eating the fragrant meat slices in the bowl, she found that Shang Xu was putting ingredients into the pot without eating a single bite.
Yu Yueyue reached out to stop his hand from moving, and instead of letting him put more ingredients in, she placed the freshly prepared bowl in front of him, saying firmly, "I'll put more in later, eat quickly."
He glanced at her, hummed helplessly, and slowly put the food she had served him into his mouth.
Yu Yueyue stared at him, but soon she saw that his face was red and he was coughing badly. It was obvious that he couldn't eat any spicy food.
"Or I'll ask the waiter to change the soup base for you." She said as she handed a glass of cold water to him.
Shang Xu lowered his head and continued to stuff a mouthful into his mouth, not even looking at the cold water beside him: "No, I just like spicy food."
He just liked everything she liked.
It was like this before and it is like this now.
Yu Yueyue couldn't help laughing when she saw him lowering his head and eating desperately. People who didn't know him would think he loved eating very much.
Men's words are not only deceptive, but also very hard.
A message suddenly popped up on the phone.
Yu Yueyue clicked it to read, then she typed a few words and turned off the phone screen with satisfaction.
Soon, the Weibo post telling everyone that she was fine after falling into the water received many reposts.
There is a line of text written under the picture of spicy hot pot: Hot pot and hard mouth.
