After the meal was ready, Wei Yunrou hurriedly carried the food box and ran to Su Huaiyue's room.
She walked briskly to the table and placed the lunch box steadily on the table with a "pa" sound, with a hint of playfulness in her movements.
Then, she grabbed Su Huaiyue's hand, her eyes full of anticipation, and said anxiously, "Sister-in-law, please go and bring some food to Fifth Brother. He must be so busy that he doesn't even have time to eat! You don't know, when I saw him yesterday, he had lost a lot of weight, and his face was pale. It was so heartbreaking to see him."
As she spoke, Wei Yunrou's eyes revealed genuine worry.
Su Huaiyue followed Wei Yunrou's gaze to the lunch box on the table, sighed softly, and shook her head helplessly, her eyes showing a bit of embarrassment: "Yunrou, my new product research is at a critical stage, and I really can't get away. You know, the formula of this new product is still a little short of being finalized. If I leave now, all my previous efforts will be in vain."
Su Huaiyue frowned slightly, looking helpless.
When Wei Yunrou heard this, a hint of disappointment flashed across her originally bright eyes, but soon, the corners of her mouth raised, and she lay on Su Huaiyue like a koala, shaking her arms tightly with both hands. Her voice was soft and sticky with a long tail tone: "Sister-in-law, you have been studying for four days, and it's time to take a break. Look at you, you haven't been out for a long time these days. You have been stuck in this room all the time, and you have become a lot more haggard. Besides, if Fifth Brother sees you coming to bring him food, he will definitely be very happy! He will definitely sweep away his fatigue and be in a good mood. Sister-in-law, just think of it as going for Fifth Brother and for me."
As Wei Yunrou spoke, she rubbed her head against Su Huaiyue's shoulder, her eyes full of pleading.
Su Huaiyue was really helpless under her series of coquettish offensives. Looking at Wei Yunrou's pitiful yet expectant eyes, she had no choice but to compromise. She reached out to take the lunch box and said with a wry smile, "Okay, okay, I really can't do anything about you. I'll go take the food to your fifth brother. But don't run around. Wait here for me to come back."
When Wei Yunrou heard this, she immediately jumped off Su Huaiyue, a big smile bloomed on her face again, and she nodded vigorously: "Okay, okay, sister-in-law, go ahead!"
Su Huaiyue walked towards the county government office with a lunch box in his hand.
Along the way, the breeze blew gently, but it failed to blow away the boredom in her heart.
When she arrived at the back hall of the county government office, she saw Li Ruolan and Lin Yuan sitting in high seats from afar.
Li Ruolan was concentrating on organizing the files. Her fingers moved quickly between the piles of files with skillful and neat movements. From time to time, she picked up a brush to write something on the paper next to her. Lin Yuan was writing furiously, his brows slightly furrowed, his expression focused, as if the whole world only contained him and the pen in his hand.
This scene made Su Huaiyue stand there in a daze, and the valve of memory opened instantly.
She remembered that in the original book, even without her help, Wei Che could rely on his own ability to sit in the high position of the county magistrate's back hall, and Li Ruolan and Lin Yuan had always been his right-hand men, giving him advice and assisting him in handling government affairs.
She couldn't help feeling a little lost, and a feeling of self-doubt spread in her heart.
She couldn't help but think that after she came to this world, although she and Wei Che had experienced so much, it seemed that she had not brought any substantial changes to him. In his career path, her existence seemed insignificant.
At this time, Li Ruolan had sharp eyes and saw Su Huaiyue standing not far away.
A friendly smile immediately appeared on her face. She put down the file in her hand, quickly stood up and walked over to greet him, "Madam Wei, you're here! Master Wei has been very tired these past few days. He just finished dealing with some urgent matters and is resting in the bedroom in the back."
Su Huaiyue finally came back to her senses. She tried to force a smile, her lips moved slightly, and she whispered "thank you" with a hint of reluctance in her voice.
Then she walked towards the bedroom.
Along the way, her steps became heavier. The worries and self-doubts that she had buried deep in her heart now surged into her mind like a tide, making it difficult for her to breathe.
Su Huaiyue gently pushed open the bedroom door. The light in the room was soft and Wei Che was taking a nap on the table.
His face was resting on his arm, a few strands of hair hung on his forehead, and his long eyelashes cast a faint shadow on his eyelids, trembling slightly with his breathing. Under his high nose bridge, his lips were slightly pursed, and the lines that usually showed determination now seemed particularly soft in his sleep.
Wei Che's skin was fair, and it glowed faintly under the light in the room. His handsome sleeping face was like a beautiful painting, which made Su Huaiyue stunned.
Su Huaiyue was feeling complicated. She walked very lightly, with the soles of her shoes almost touching the ground, and slowly walked towards the table.
Her eyes were fixed on Wei Che who was taking a nap on the table, and she held the lunch box firmly in her hand, afraid that she would make any noise by accident.
The lunch box seemed to carry a thousand pounds of weight. She moved extremely carefully and slowly placed the lunch box on the table. Every movement was gentle as if she was handling a rare treasure, and even her breathing became unconsciously lighter.
After putting the lunch box away, Su Huaiyue breathed a sigh of relief and turned around to quietly leave the room. Just as her toes touched the ground and she was about to take the first step, her wrist was suddenly grabbed by a warm and strong hand.
The sudden touch made Su Huaiyue lose consciousness for a moment. She turned around in surprise and found that Wei Che had woken up at some point.
Wei Che was sleepy, and his eyes, which were usually bright and lively, were now a little sleepy, with the corners of his eyes slightly red, as if they were stained by dreams.
His eyes were focused on Su Huaiyue, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly uncontrollably, revealing an extremely gentle smile, just like the warmest breeze in spring, which could blow away all the haze in people's hearts.
His voice was a little hoarse because he had just woken up, but that unique voice was particularly clear in the silent room: "Sister-in-law, why are you here? Why don't you stay a little longer?"
After that, he raised his other hand and gently pointed to the chair next to him. His eyes were full of expectation, and he beckoned: "Come, sit down and eat together. You brought it to me specially. It would be boring for me to eat alone."
When Su Huaiyue heard Wei Che calling her "sister-in-law", she felt mixed emotions. All kinds of emotions intertwined together made her chest feel a little stuffy.
She lowered her head slightly, shook her head gently, and said in a low voice: "No, you eat, I have things to do when I go back." She didn't dare to look directly into Wei Che's eyes, for fear that he would see through her inner emotions.
