Chapter 442: Considerate to Xie Gou, She is Too Calm (Part 1)
"Are you hungry?" The man was the first to look away, pretending to be calm.
Jiang Fuyue glanced at him suspiciously: "A little bit."
Xie Dingyuan flipped up the small table, took out a thermos bucket, opened it, took out the layers of small grids inside, arranged them side by side, and finally handed the chopsticks to Jiang Fuyue.
He probably rarely does this kind of thing, and his movements are obviously unfamiliar, but the whole process is organized and not chaotic at all.
"Eat it."
Two meat dishes and two vegetable dishes, still steaming hot.
Jiang Fuyue raised an eyebrow and asked him, "Did you buy it?"
"The nanny at home made it and brought it over."
"Thank you for your help."
The man waved his hand.
She lowered her head and took a sip of the vegetable porridge, which was fragrant, soft and glutinous, leaving a lingering taste in her mouth.
Xie Dingyuan stood aside and watched quietly: "How is it?"
"tasty."
After hearing this, the man smiled slightly.
But the moment the girl looked at him, he hid all his emotions.
"Have you eaten?" Jiang Fuyue asked him.
"Um."
Jiang Fuyue nodded and began to concentrate on cooking.
Her left hand, which was holding the needle, could not move, so she had to rely on her right hand throughout the process.
The table top was smooth, and sometimes it was easy to poke the small square for the dishes forward if you used too much force. Whenever this happened, Xie Dingyuan would always reach out and hold it in place, then push the small square back to its original position.
Two meat dishes and two vegetable dishes, four small grids are placed side by side, neatly on a horizontal line.
Oh, she forgot, this guy is obsessive-compulsive.
After eating, without Jiang Fuyue having to do anything, Xie Dingyuan collected the dishes and put them all back into the thermos.
"Take it back and wash it." He took out a tissue and handed it to her.
Jiang Fuyue raised her hand to take it, wiping her mouth while expressing her gratitude for his thoughtfulness.
It seems that for researchers, as long as they are willing to pay attention, even the smallest details can be noticed.
"Did the doctor say when I can be discharged?"
"You need to stay for two more days."
Jiang Fuyue thought for a moment and asked, "Can I use the computer?"
"Not a big deal. Just, what do you do with the computer?"
"I have a new idea that should make the model better. You see, we are currently building the architecture using the Tat algorithm. If we switch to..."
Jiang Fuyue told him her general idea. When she talked about professional knowledge, her pupils sparkled and her whole body seemed to be glowing.
Xie Dingyuan also listened carefully, occasionally interjecting a few words.
"...So, can you get me a laptop? Ugh, the higher the specs, the better."
It turns out that I've been talking for a long time and waiting for him here.
A smile flashed in the man's eyes: "Tell Lao Bai and the others to bring it over this afternoon."
"Ah? They're coming?"
"Um."
"No need," Jiang Fuyue said with a troubled look in her eyes. "It's not a serious illness. Why is he so idle? Has the data been released yet? Believe it or not, after being discharged from the hospital in two days, he still won't be able to catch up with me."
Xie Dingyuan's mouth twitched.
In the end, under her insistence, Xie Dingyuan agreed not to let Lao Bai and others come.
"Then I'll deliver it to you in the afternoon?" He said calmly.
Jiang Fuyue nodded immediately and agreed: "Thank you."
The man raised a smile, but it disappeared in the blink of an eye.
At first glance, he is still the mature, steady and flawless Professor Xie.
At 11 o'clock in the morning, Xie Dingyuan left only after Jiang Fuyue finished the last bottle of IV drip.
A tall and handsome man with an extraordinary demeanor, carrying a large thermos in his hand?
This picture looks weird no matter how you look at it.
But the person involved was completely unaware of it. The moment he walked out of the ward, he even curled his lips with a cunning look of success.
Jiang Fuyue called Han Yunru and said that she had been staying in the laboratory and not going home for the past few days. She kept nagging her to take care of herself and not to work too hard. Jiang Fuyue responded patiently.
The mother and daughter chatted for a while about the renovation of the new store before ending the call.
Jiang Fuyue put down her phone, lay back on the bed, and soon fell asleep.
When I opened my eyes again, the sun was setting outside the window.
Xie Dingyuan brought a laptop as promised. Jiang Fuyue took a quick glance and knew it was the latest high-end model.
It was still the same thermos bucket, but he brought two meat dishes and two vegetable dishes, which were different from those in the morning.
Jiang Fuyue: "It's delicious."
After dinner, she wanted to go downstairs for a walk.
Xie Dingyuan: "I'll accompany you."
"No need. The lab should be very busy, right? You should go back and rest early. You don't need to come tomorrow."
It's not like she's bedridden and needs someone to take care of her.
What's more, this person is Xie Dingyuan, the soul commander of the project. Without him in charge, the overall progress will be more or less affected.
Jiang Fuyue doesn't want to be the culprit.
The man glanced at her, his eyes darkening slightly, but the next second, he nodded: "Okay. Don't you want to go for a walk? It's just right for me to leave and walk with you for a while?"
This is fine, Jiang Fuyue agreed.
The setting sun painted the sky a bright orange-red, and the white clouds were also cooked, turning into a red glow.
The two walked side by side on the tree-lined avenue, and the early autumn breeze brought a bit of coolness.
"Yesterday..." the man suddenly spoke in a hoarse voice, "The circumstances were special..."
"I know." The girl's eyes were open and her expression was without any grudge. "Come to think of it, I have to thank you."
Xie Dingyuan's eyes flashed slightly, trying to see something different on her face.
But, there is nothing.
The road always ends. Jiang Fuyue sent him to the gate, and Xie Dingyuan had no reason to stay any longer.
His Adam's apple rolled: "I'm leaving."
"Um."
In the setting sun, the girl looked at him with eyes as clear as ever, as if he was the only one who could not forget and was worried about those beautiful moments.
But she just treated it as normal, said "thank you" and distanced herself from it, staying out of it.
Xie Dingyuan felt a little depressed and walked away.
Jiang Fuyue wandered around downstairs for another half an hour before returning to the ward.
At night, she finished two parts, turned off the computer, and fell into a deep sleep.
…
Yutian Mansion, study.
Xie Dingyuan sat in front of the computer. The screen was black, but his eyes did not move away. Instead, he let them wander in a blank state.
In the silence, as if waiting for something.
Suddenly, there was a ding-dong sound, and the new email notification sound rang out.
The originally black screen suddenly lit up, and he moved the mouse and clicked to read.
The man read quickly with a serious expression.
After turning the last page, Xie Dingyuan released the mouse, picked up the mobile phone beside him, found a number in the address book, and dialed it.
The other end quickly answered: "How is it? Did you receive the email?"
"Um."
"Everything is in there, but the strange thing is that after she flew to City A, she stayed in the hotel the entire time and didn't go out at all. This is very strange. She doesn't look like she's traveling, and she doesn't look like she's doing business. Is it just to stay in a hotel in City A for two days? That hotel isn't some internet-famous check-in spot..."
Xie Dingyuan just listened to the question from the other end without answering, but his eyebrows and eyes became more and more profound.
"...But then again, why would you investigate a high school student? A girl at that? What, are you interested in her?"
The last sentence was a pure joke, but it stung the man's ears.
Xie Dingyuan's face turned cold, and his tone also turned cold: "You talk too much."
There was silence on the other end for a long moment, and then a muffled voice replied, "...I'll be more careful next time."
Xie Dingyuan ended the call, stood up and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window.
The light lengthened his shadow, creating an inexplicable sense of loneliness in the gloomy night.
Of course she could only stay in the hotel, otherwise how could she appear at Katie's auction with another identity, become the guest of honor in the private room, and buy the red chalcedony?
Tsk, a woman dressed as a man...
If they hadn't fought at close range, and he hadn't happened to grab that slender waist that didn't look like a man's, he would probably still be in the dark.
Jiang Fuyue...
Who are you?
Xie Dingyuan closed his eyes tightly, his temples throbbing uncontrollably.
Suddenly, several images popped up in my mind uncontrollably.
White snow, red plum, long legs, beautiful back...
He suddenly opened his eyes and gasped.
Besides the look of confusion on his face, there was also a hint of self-loathing that was well-hidden.
He turned back to his desk and bang—
He slammed his fist on the table.
After an unknown amount of time, all his fantasies were suppressed and he returned to his rational and calm state.
Turning off the computer seemed to get rid of the influence left by that person.
He left the study and went downstairs to get some water.
"Sir, you haven't slept yet?" Aunt Liu came out from the kitchen.
"Um."
"Do you need to get food tomorrow? I bought an old hen, perfect for making soup."
"No."
The other person doesn't appreciate it at all, so why should he go for it?
Xie Dingyuan's mouth corners tightened, his eyes became a little sharp, and under Liu Ma's puzzled gaze, he turned and went upstairs.
The back is cold.
Aunt Liu: “?” Wasn’t he fine this morning?
He gave all kinds of instructions, fearing that the taste would not be right, and specifically asked for onions, ginger and garlic to be present.
Why now?
First update, 3,000 words.
Xie Dingyuan: She doesn’t care about me.
Second update, midnight.
