Chapter 44: You're not coming to steal the kiss, are you?
Shuang Xu just got home from get off work.
She did not reply to Yue Zifeng, but answered Lu Manman: [I was dispensable that day]
Lu Manman said: [I hope you can come and witness it, but I am also afraid that something unexpected will happen if you come]
They know each other very well, so both sides can be honest with each other. There is no need to beat around the bush when speaking, it is better to be direct.
Shuang Xu said: [Then I won’t go]
She didn't want to miss this important moment in Shen Yu's life. Even though she knew that kind of happiness would be built on her own sadness, she still wanted to bless him on the spot.
But at the same time, she didn't want to ruin this equally important moment for Lu Manman. If Lu Manman wished, she could not go.
Lu Manman said: [You are not coming to snatch the kiss, are you? ]
Shuang Xu had a blank expression on his face: [You are just proposing, not getting married, what am I trying to steal? ]
Lu Manman: [Withdraw! Withdraw! You ruined my surprise.]
Frost Sequence: [. . . ]
Shuang Xu hadn't had dinner yet. She still hadn't learned how to cook and had no interest in learning. She ordered a takeout on her phone. While waiting, she sat on the floor by the window, looking at the night view.
This large flat at No. 9 Songming Road is very large and empty. When only one person lives in it, it can feel so quiet that you can hear a pin drop.
Outside the floor-to-ceiling window are the bright lights of thousands of homes in Yancheng, a city with a population of more than 20 million. Every time Shuang Xu looks at the night view from the folding window, he feels his own insignificance.
The takeaway arrived and she went to get it and put it on the dining table.
Maybe she had a revengeful mentality, although she didn't know who she wanted to take revenge on. Anyway, she ordered a lot, including fried chicken covered with shredded cheese and a large pizza.
It's very rich, but it's boring to eat alone.
She thought about it, took a photo and sent it to Shu Yang and Xiao Liao.
Shu Yang, who felt like he was going to become an immortal after eating the nutritious meals in the hospital every day, sent her a 60-second voice message.
At last, he said, "Blacklist now. I'll bring you back when you finish eating."
Xiao Liao was very direct: [Wait! I'll take a taxi there now!]
Shuang Xu is in a much better mood: [Come on, you can sleep in the fish tank tonight]
Half an hour later, Xiao Liao came rushing over, bringing with him a half-dozen beers.
"Wow, what a beautiful night view! It turns out that the Yancheng of you rich people is really different from our Yancheng!" Xiao Liao leaned on the glass, "Living in a place like this, will there be no worries?"
"Yes." Shuang Xu said, "Rich people also get constipated."
"That's right!" Xiao Liao suddenly felt more balanced.
Shuang Xu simply put the mat by the window, and the two of them sat on the floor, enjoying the night view while eating fried chicken and drinking beer.
"Little Boss, haven't you found your turtle yet?"
Shuang Xu shook his head: "I guess it can't be found. It has been lost for a long time."
Although turtles are very resistant to hunger, they are not invincible. We haven't found them for such a long time. I wonder if they have starved to death in some corner.
"Then you can get another one." Xiao Liao looked at the matter in a relaxed way. "If you find another one in the future, you will have two."
"I don't want to keep you anymore." Shuang Xu said, "Where would you sleep if I did?"
Xiao Liao rushed towards her: "You scolded me!"
Shuang Xu fell to the ground laughing.
With Xiao Liao's company, she felt much happier.
At night, Shuang Xu didn't really let her sleep in the fish tank, but took her to the guest room.
The guest room had not been occupied by anyone yet. Xiao Liao rolled around on the bed like a dog peeing to mark its territory, then calmly folded his hands on his belly.
"Don't call me tomorrow. I want to sleep here for three days and three nights."
Shuang Xu returned to her bedroom, and before going to bed, she looked at her phone and saw a long message.
[I still hope you come, sincerely. Ah Yu must also hope you are here.]
On Saturday afternoon, when Shuang Xu changed into light mountaineering clothes and carried a backpack to go downstairs, Shen Yu and Yue Zifeng had already arrived downstairs of her building.
This was the most crowded time, Lu Manman brought a few of her friends. Several cars were lined up, and each car was full of people.
Lu Manman said to Shen Yu from the passenger seat, "Xiaojiu, Ayu's friend is in our car, you can take my cousin's car first."
The rear window was lowered, revealing a handsome man and woman sitting inside.
The man was Shen Yu's friend, the president of Hengtai Bank, and Shuang Xu had met Shen Yu before. His new wife was the eldest daughter of the Bai family in Yancheng.
"Brother Sheng'an, Sister Qingmei." She greeted them politely and walked towards the car behind.
He Tingzhou drove the Kurinan, but Shuang Xu still felt unnatural when he saw him, so he simply skipped the co-pilot.
She climbed into the back seat, fastened her seat belt, and when she looked up, she unexpectedly met He Tingzhou's eyes in the rearview mirror.
He wore a black stand-up collar sprint jacket, which made his features look deeper and sharper.
He Tingzhou bit a candy in his mouth and looked at her casually in the mirror.
"Do I look like your driver?"
Shuang Xu said, "I don't feel well today. I want to sit in the back."
"Where do you feel uncomfortable?" He Tingzhou asked.
Shuang Xu: "I feel uncomfortable everywhere."
He Tingzhou twitched his lip and said, "If you feel so uncomfortable, we can find a sedan chair to carry you up the mountain later."
Shuang Xu looked away and stopped talking to him.
What made her feel a little more relaxed was that after a while, Yue Zifeng, who had gotten off the car to buy water, came over and sat in the passenger seat.
"Let's go, let's go."
Yue Zifeng kept chattering all the way, while Shuang Xu sat in the back and was quiet all the way.
As the commander-in-chief of this marriage proposal operation plan, he assigned Shuang Xu a glorious and arduous task.
"Sister, you don't have to do anything today. You are responsible for delivering the ring to your brother at the critical moment. Then listen to my orders. Do you understand?"
Shuang Xu said "hmm".
Yue Zifeng turned his head to look at her: "Why are you so passionless?"
Shuang Xu raised his voice: "Hmm!"
He Tingzhou suddenly laughed.
Shuang Xu didn't understand what he was laughing at and continued to look out the window.
He Tingzhou held the steering wheel with one hand, rested his left hand on the car window, and crushed the hard candy in his mouth. The crisp and dull sound had a hint of orange flavor.
"Where did you get the candy?" Yue Zifeng opened the glove box and looked through it, but couldn't find it.
He Tingzhou tilted his chin back and said, "Ask the little princess."
Shuang Xu glanced at him in confusion. How could she have any sugar?
Yue Zifeng actually reached out to her and asked, "Princess sister, give me one."
"…I've finished eating." said Shuang Xu.
The convoy headed eastward and arrived at the Dongyu Mountain camping base more than an hour later.
