47 The Lantern Goddess, so touching!
Since Chen Yuang got up late, his plan to cook for his love fell through.
There were a bunch of ingredients in the refrigerator, and it would take at least an hour to prepare them. But neither of them had eaten lunch, so they were both starving.
I simply ordered some Xiaocun fried chicken takeout, a platter of three flavors, and mixed a salad myself, with both meat and vegetables, which was pretty good.
While waiting for the takeaway, Chen Yuang ran to the bathroom to take a shower, brush his teeth and shave.
I walked out with wet hair and saw Ni Yue sitting on the sofa, looking down at his phone without saying a word.
"What are you looking at?" He came over curiously.
Ni Yue raised her eyes, and two strings of tears flowed down her face, sparkling and bright, like the Milky Way.
He was surprised, "What happened?"
He quickly sat down, held her shoulders with both hands and turned her to face him. Their eyes met and their breaths met, and the woman's tears flowed even more violently.
"Did something happen at home?" Chen Yuang was confused.
Ni Yue cried out, "The Lantern Goddess is so touching!"
"Ahahaha!" Chen Yuang laughed and hugged her in his arms, "Are you so easily moved? I still have many touching stories to tell you!"
"I don't want to listen!" Ni Yue sobbed and acted coquettishly in his arms, "Don't lie to me about my tears again!"
Chen Yuang lifted her chin with one hand and said, "I have never lied to you."
"Slippery!" Ni Yue rolled her eyes at him, stopped crying, and asked, "So that's why you like me?"
"What's the reason?"
"You're a nurse taking care of the sick, and I'm a bathing assistant bathing the elderly, the sick, and the disabled—do you think we're the same kind of people?"
"Hmm..." Chen Yuang looked up at the ceiling, as if thinking. "Maybe there are indeed reasons related to values, but honestly, feelings can't be explained in a few words. Anyway... I was captivated by you without knowing why."
Although he said this, he had a very clear thought in his mind.
He was certain and certain that his love for the woman in front of him began with their first encounter outside of "Whispering".
On that ordinary early summer evening, he was standing by the roadside sipping sea salt lychee drink - an aperitif before dinner, when he suddenly heard a woman shouting something.
"...And I am the bath assistant who helps them take a bath! Do you have any objection to this?!"
Following the sound, I saw a petite woman in a wrap dress, pointing at a man's nose and cursing him. Her words were sharp, her eyes were full of life, and her strength was matched only by a hint of pity.
His eyes lingered on her.
He suddenly felt his heartbeat quicken and his body temperature rise suddenly, as if a heat wave from nowhere was sweeping over his body. He was caught off guard and was swept up in the heat wave, his breathing becoming rapid.
He felt both excited and suffocated.
At that moment, he didn't know what it meant.
The scolded man fled in panic, but the woman pouted her lips, with sparkling tears dripping down the corners of her eyes.
As if an invisible hand was pushing his back, he unconsciously walked over, handed over a pack of tissues, and then turned around and left in a pretentious manner...
From then on, this brief and beautiful encounter was deeply engraved in his mind.
Unexpectedly, a few days later, he met the girl again in OVERDOSE under the pretext of meeting an online friend.
Their fates are inevitably intertwined.
She became the only one in his heart.
...However, he did not intend to reveal this to her. He had his own little plan - he was worried that she would become complacent and look down on him after knowing this.
His gaze slowly fell back on her face, and he saw a large, crystal teardrop about to fall, half hanging at the edge of her eye socket, flickering under the light, just like when they first met.
But this time, there was a hint of infatuation, resentment, and alluring femininity in her eyes.
His Adam's apple trembled and he lowered his head to kiss her.
The second time I ate her tears, they tasted salty, just like before.
…The two rolled together on the sofa, kissing each other, not knowing what was happening in the world.
Suddenly, the doorbell rang. It must be the takeaway being delivered.
"Um, can you help open the door?" Chen Yuang let go of her and asked embarrassedly.
Seeing her confused expression, he blushed again and stammered, "I, I need some time... to calm down."
Staring at the dark sky outside the old steel window, Zhang Chenling silently took a puff of cigarette and reached out to flick the ash into the sink behind her head.
But his movements were a little clumsy, and a wisp of ash fell to the ground.
I remembered that one day a few months ago, she was just like now, soaking herself in the bathtub and smoking.
At that time, she was worried about Shangshanruoshui's future.
At that time, she didn't know that her cousin Ni Yue was about to break into the house with a lot of bags, jump into her bathtub, and become Shangshanruoshui's partner.
What she didn't know was that the frustrated man Xu Zhiqian, with whom she had randomly slept while whispering the night before, would become her capable subordinate in the future.
...Every day of life is like opening a blind box.
Fortunately, all the difficulties and obstacles that arise can be overcome one by one.
She let out a long sigh, leaned her head back on the edge of the bathtub, and completely relaxed.
Not long after, the alarm on my cell phone rang: 8 o'clock Beijing time.
I couldn't wait to pick up my phone, open the official media app, and click on the interview program.
I feel a little excited.
At this moment, in Huashan Apartment, a few kilometers away, Ni Yue and Chen Yuang were helpless in front of a 100-inch TV screen.
"TV series, movies, anime, variety shows, VIP..."
Chen Yuang held the remote control and clicked on each program one by one, but he couldn't find any live TV broadcast.
"Are you so unfamiliar with your TV?" Ni Yue couldn't help but sneer.
"I'm sorry, I've hardly ever turned on this TV. Didn't you see me just wipe off a layer of dust?" Chen Yuang felt incredibly ashamed. Seeing that it was already eight o'clock, he suggested, "How about we just cast the screen?"
"Great idea! Do you have a tablet?"
"No."
"Where's the laptop?"
"I do have a computer, but it had a minor problem a few days ago. I sent it to be repaired and haven't picked it up yet..."
"It's the same as nothing!" Ni Yue rolled his eyes at him, thinking that this rich second generation was just like an ordinary person, living a tight life.
Chen Yuang scratched his head embarrassedly. "Let's use our phone to cast the video. But I have to be careful first. I've been arguing with my mom these past few days. If she calls in the middle of the show, it might affect our time watching TV."
"Then just use my phone!" Ni Yue joked with him, "I'm not as busy as you."
…
However, Ni Yue forgot that things often disguise themselves as she takes them for granted, and then develop in unexpected directions.
Just as she and Chen Yuang were snuggling together, moved to tears by what she and her teammates said, the TV camera suddenly switched to Wu Xia taking a shower.
Although there was a small mosaic on her face, her iconic figure with several layers of fat, like the Michelin man, and the limp leg in plaster sticking out of the bathtub, would inevitably make her recognized by acquaintances around her at a glance, and embarrass herself in front of her relatives and friends.
Ni Yue and Chen Yuang laughed so hard at this embarrassing scene that tears welled up in their eyes.
The next second, Wu Xia’s WeChat voice message came in.
Looking at the extremely oppressive figure on the TV screen, whose image was magnified several times, Ni Yue quickly put away his smile and hesitated whether to answer the call.
"Well... I can avoid it!" Chen Yuang's voice came from above his head.
Ni Yue curled her lips and hugged him tighter, "Forget it, I won't take it. I think my mom will regret going on this show and will keep arguing with me!"
Of course, she didn't want to quarrel with Wu Xia in front of Chen Yuang and ruin the atmosphere of the night.
Finally, the ringing stopped and the two continued watching TV.
Unexpectedly, a few minutes later, the TV screen was interrupted again.
This time, Ni Yue directly pressed the reject button and casually set the message to do not disturb. "Let her go to the small dark room for a while!"
Chen Yuang was a little worried. "Is it possible that Auntie has something else important to talk to you about?"
"It could indeed be something else!" Ni Yue smiled helplessly, "But it doesn't matter!"
Calling for help to help primary school students with their homework, complaining about Ni Daming not coming back from fishing, complaining about her period being late and light, and inserting a piece of gossip about the neighbor in between... Which one is the most urgent matter?
"Don't worry, the sky won't fall," she reassured Chen Yuang, "At worst, I'll call her back after I finish watching TV!"
The interview program was only an hour long and ended quickly.
Having said that, ever since muting Wu Xia, Ni Yue couldn't help but feel a little worried. He wasn't as absorbed in watching the show as before, and had no intention of flirting with Chen Yuang.
Chen Yuang was as nervous as she was. At the end of the show, he couldn't sit still anymore and asked, "Do you want to call Auntie back now?"
Ni Yue had already picked up the phone and gave him a devilish smile, "I think it's okay!"
When Ni Yue clicked into WeChat and saw a long list of unanswered calls in the dialog box, his heart skipped a beat.
The ringing seemed to last only a brief second before the call was connected.
Wu Xia's voice sounded extremely urgent. "Yue'er, why didn't you answer my calls? Are you with your cousin now?"
Ni Yue was worried, "No, we're not together! Why?"
"Can you contact her?" Wu Xia's voice choked with sobs, "Something bad happened in her family!"
