On the road
The two of them walked at a fast pace and soon reached the parking lot and found the car, but at this moment, a question emerged in Liang Yi's mind.
"Should I sit in the front passenger seat or the back seat? Wouldn't it be too intimate to sit in the front passenger seat? If I sit in the back seat, wouldn't that mean Huang Yijie is the driver? That's super rude."
Before Liang Yi could think of the correct answer, Huang Yiji had already opened the passenger door for her.
Huang Yiji looked at her with a smile on his face, his hand resting intimately on the door frame, his gesture as if inviting her in, well, very gentlemanly.
now that
Since Huang Yiji had already given the correct answer, there was no need for Liang Yi to hesitate. She walked to the passenger seat and smiled back at Huang Yiji.
"Thank you."
Perhaps because he was touched by Liang Yi's cuteness, Huang Yiji turned his head and smiled secretly after helping her close the door.
Seeing Huang Yiji sitting in the driver's seat and fastening his seat belt, Liang Yi realized that she also needed to fasten her seat belt in the passenger seat. She immediately turned around and fastened her seat belt. She was particularly afraid that the scene described in the novel where the hero helps the heroine fasten her seat belt would happen to her. Although this is an indispensable step to create ambiguity and bring people closer, it would be too embarrassing if it actually happened to her.
Huang Yiji watched Liang Yi fasten her seat belt before starting the car. During the journey, Huang Yiji did not take the initiative to talk to Liang Yi. Instead, Liang Yi took the responsibility of starting a conversation.
"We live in the same neighborhood, what a coincidence."
"It's a bit of a coincidence, maybe it's fate." After saying this, Huang Yiji showed his classic smile again.
"So which area and building do you live in? If it's nearby, we can visit each other often!"
"Building 2, Block C."
He had thought that coincidences would happen, but this was too much of a coincidence. They actually lived in the same building. Such a magical fate instantly woke Liang Yi's confused mind.
"It seems that we are really destined to be together." Even though he was very upset inside, Liang Yi could not reveal his true self.
After hearing this, Huang Yiji guessed that they really lived in the same community and even in the same building by coincidence.
"So which floor do you live on? It seems like it would be really convenient for us to visit."
"12th floor, how about you?"
"Hey, hey, I live higher up than you. I live on the 15th floor."
Liang Yi used his playful smile to hide his happiness, "Is there anyone else in your family?"
When this question was asked, not only Liang Yi, but also Huang Yiji was stunned. This was too strange. Liang Yi's expression was probably not correct. "Ahem... No, I said it wrong. What I wanted to ask is, do you live alone?"
"Yes, I prefer living alone. I always feel tired staying with my parents every day. Sometimes when I come home late from work, they will worry about whether I have eaten or if I am tired. But most of the time I am very tired. I don't even want to talk. But rejecting their kindness would hurt their feelings. So I just moved out and lived on my own. I can go back to see them occasionally. Anyway, I don't live far away."
This was the first time they talked about family-related matters. Liang Yi didn't expect that her casual question would lead to such a private topic. Family relationships are secrets that adults will not easily reveal, at least in Liang Yi's opinion.
"It must be very happy to have mom and dad taking care of you..." Liang Yi said this blankly after hearing what Huang Yiji said.
Huang Yiji noticed something was wrong with Liang Yi, but he didn't intend to ask any further questions. It was obvious that the topic of family had special meaning to Liang Yi.
The topic between the two ended here, but fortunately they had returned to Yusheng Garden. After parking the car, the two walked towards the elevator one after the other.
After the topic of family ended, there was no more conversation.
Perhaps it was the effect of alcohol that magnified Liang Yi's emotions. In fact, she was not very sad. She was just a little overwhelmed and confused. Hearing Huang Yiji talk about his family, even a small fragment, made her feel unfamiliar and curious. Her parents had not been with her since she was a child, but she did not mean to blame them at all. They had their own pursuits and their own freedom. She could not be a burden to them. She was similar to her parents. She was also a person who yearned for freedom.
So a family like Huang Yiji's makes her curious and confused. Is this happiness? This is happiness.
Thinking alone became Liang Yi's habit. She walked in front alone, thinking, while Huang Yiji followed her silently behind her. In Huang Yiji's perspective, she was slowly getting smaller. This was the first time he saw a different side of her, fragile and depressed.
