Chapter 104: Alone in an Empty Room

The driver was a middle-aged man in his forties, with a mellow and kind face. On the way, he chatted with Chu Shuang and lamented that it was really not easy for young people like them to work overtime until now.

Hatsushimo chuckled, "Aren't you still working now? It's not easy for everyone."

The uncle sighed, "Yeah."

His car music was full of cheerful songs, and he would occasionally hum a few lines to express his good mood. Chu Shuang listened in the back and felt that all the fatigue from working overtime was relieved by his happiness, and her body and mind were relaxed.

He is a very interesting uncle.

"Girl, the navigation route will pass by my house soon. Can you wait for me for a minute while I deliver something to someone at home? It will be quick. She will come and pick up the things and we will leave."

"Okay, no problem."

A few minutes later the car arrived at the door. The uncle honked the horn and a graceful woman came out of the house. She seemed to be the driver's wife.

The man came over, and the uncle smiled and took out a cup of milk tea from his leather coat and handed it to him.

"Your favorite taro ball milk tea with milk. It's still hot. Drink it while it's hot."

He kept it warm with his own body temperature.

The woman raised her eyebrows and complained, "Why are you buying milk tea so late at night? You deliberately don't want me to lose weight successfully."

Although she complained, it was obvious that she was in a good mood. It was obvious that she was spoiled and had a delicate temperament.

The uncle looks rough and burly, but his wife is well-maintained, with a round and smooth figure and is very beautiful.

"Drink less, it's okay, you're not fat at all, you're beautiful."

The woman took the milk tea, snorted softly, and also saw Chu Shuang in the back seat.

"Come back after you finish this job. Don't stay out all day just to make a few bucks. If you're not back by 11 o'clock, I'll lock the door."

The uncle smiled submissively, seemingly spoiling his wife, "Okay, this order is not far, I'll be back soon."

Hatsushimo watched the interaction between the two from the back seat and felt a slight movement in her heart.

Suddenly I felt a little jealous.

Such natural and undisguised intimacy.

She also has a good marriage, but due to their personalities, they will probably never be able to get along so recklessly.

Sheng Ting is considerate, but his emotions are restrained and rational, and he will never humble himself. The so-called pampering is given within his control.

He understood her, but he would not tell her too much about himself.

Even now, when he is busy with work, he will just solve the problem silently by himself and will not confide anything to her.

He accepted her concern calmly, but did not take it to heart.

She cared so much about his health, but he didn't care about it at all.

Thinking of this, Chu Shuang felt a little depressed.

On the surface, he indulged her and doted on her, but in fact, she was the passive one. He only listened to her instructions and then did things according to his own ideas.

It is difficult for others to influence him.

…

Sheng Ting went home early for dinner, but Chu Shuang said she had to work overtime and would not be back.

He ate dinner alone. The living room was so quiet. He was used to eating alone for so many years, but today he felt it was too quiet.

It even made him feel a little uncomfortable.

The huge house seemed to become empty all of a sudden. She wasn't talkative when she was around, but when she wasn't around, the whole house felt lifeless.

Even the two cats and dogs seemed much quieter and more well-behaved. The hamster looked out the door from time to time, as if he was still looking forward to his hostess coming home late.

The meal tasted like wax and Sheng Ting lost his appetite the more he ate.

So this is what it felt like for her to have dinner alone at home during this period.

Putting down his bowl and chopsticks, he got up and went to the back garden, where he saw the wall full of flowers she had mentioned.

The fragrance is rich, the petals are intricate, and countless pink Da Vinci flowers are in full bloom.

Really beautiful.

The man's figure stretched out under the streetlights, the evening breeze brought bursts of fragrance, he stared at the flowers, his dark eyes deep and calm.

Suddenly, he felt a little sad, and he realized what he had neglected during this period of time.

When I went back to my room to sleep, the softness and warmth of the woman was no longer by my side, and I was not used to it for a while.

The scent of her tea still lingered on the pillow. The man closed his eyes and took a rest, but he thought of that night in his mind.

Her delicate voice, flushed cheeks, bitten red lips and... marks all over her body.

He opened his eyes suddenly, his Adam's apple rolled, and he suddenly felt very thirsty.

She was so delicate and soft that she got addicted to it after just one try.

That night he knew he was asking for too much, so he let her have a good rest in the next two nights with the intention of making up for it. Later, as things became busier, he forced himself to stop being restless.

From her point of view, maybe she felt that he was ignoring her.

Thinking of this, Sheng Ting felt a sense of panic in his heart that he couldn't explain.

She said today that she was working overtime and not going home. Was it the real reason or just an excuse?

Thinking about this, he called her.

Hatsushimo had just returned to the apartment when she received his call.

"Have you arrived at your residence?" he asked.

"Just arrived. I'm tired after a long day. I'm going to take a shower and go to bed."

"How did you have dinner?"

“Ordered takeout at work.”

Sheng Ting paused, "Don't work too hard, have you been so busy recently?"

Hatsushimo had just filled the bathtub with water. When she heard what he said, her eyebrows slowly raised.

It was a familiar conversation, but now the protagonists were reversed.

"Yes, the new comic is about to be released. I'm the lead writer, so of course I'm very busy."

"You still have to eat well and not just order takeout. I'll ask Aunt Yuan to deliver your meal to the company tomorrow."

"No, they're all the same. Many restaurants serve healthy and nutritious food."

There was silence on the other end for a few seconds, and then I asked her, "Do you have to work overtime tomorrow too?"

“High probability.”

Chu Shuang said this with a slight curl of the corners of her mouth.

"You're pretty busy anyway, so it'd be more convenient for me to go back to the apartment."

Sheng Ting was silent for a while, and then he heard the sound of water splashing over there.

"I'm going to take a shower. Good night. You should go to bed early."

After saying that, the other party hung up the phone.

Sheng Ting's eyes were dark and he went downstairs to get a glass of water.
