Chapter 15: Holding hands reveals whether your heart is fluttering...
How amazing.
His same gesture could make her so shy she held her breath, or it could make her overcome her timidity and boldly ask to confirm his feelings.
"Yes," Gou Qing admitted.
He paused for a moment and apologized again.
"It's my first time liking someone, and I think I didn't do it well. I scared you."
When Yan Yuehe asked, she was somewhat reckless, simply wanting to find out the truth of the matter.
But when her pounding heart was actually caught, she wanted to scream and run away.
How could she actually admit it? What should she say?
It's okay? Or why?
Now that we've come this far, Gou Qing continues to dissect her feelings: "At first, I thought you were the one who liked me first."
Yan Yuehe looked up in a panic, almost knocking over the rice bowl that was now half-weightless: "Huh?"
Gou Qing laughed self-deprecatingly: "Because I always felt like you were spying on me, I narcissistically assumed that you liked me."
Yan Yuehe's eyes widened, and she almost wanted to cover her face.
She'd actually been discovered! She thought she'd hidden it so well...
"I've never had anyone I liked before, so it took me some time to sort out my feelings."
"Actually, just two hours ago, I was still wondering if you liked me."
"But now I understand, I was just being delusional."
Yan Yuehe nervously bit her chopsticks: "...There's something you're not mistaken about."
Her bright eyes lifted for a fleeting moment, meeting his gaze before quickly looking away.
"I did peek at you, no, not peek, I looked at you openly, but I would hide before you looked over."
Why are you hiding?
"I'm not used to making eye contact with people..." That face was so impactful.
He's not like that fat, blond dog who, once he falls in love, shamelessly clings to you.
Fatty, whose wife was nearby and who had successfully lain in the same bed with her, suddenly felt a tickle in his nose and quickly begged his wife to rub against him.
In fact, even if Gou Qing asked, Yan Yuehe couldn't say anything right now.
Before, some boys had told her they liked her.
Yan Yuehe's immediate reaction was happiness: "I like you too, we can be good friends."
Ms. He Yanli, who witnessed the incident firsthand, said that she was naturally clueless in this regard and found it difficult to grasp the concept.
Yan Yuehe had initially believed this wholeheartedly, but now she felt it wasn't true.
She imagined that if Yu Zhi had said this to her, she would still be happy to be good friends with him.
But if it were a dog's in-laws... she probably wouldn't have the thought of "wanting to stay in a friendship with him".
So it's not that she's clueless, but that she hasn't met the person who can attract her at first sight.
That might sound a bit superficial, but so what?
His appearance is also part of him.
He's not just about looks.
Yan Yuehe wasn't sure if she just liked his face or if she was truly falling in love; she might need more time to find out.
so.
The two finished their meal in silence.
It seems the time has come for us to say goodbye.
"I'll see you off." Gou Qing stood up with Yan Yuehe.
Yan Yuehe's body froze instantly.
Gou Qing: "...Sorry, I scared you again."
His feelings became clear, and every action he took clearly conveyed: I am trying to get closer to you.
Yan Yuehe didn't find it annoying.
But she still refused: "No need to trouble yourself, it's just a short walk."
She practically dragged the reluctant and unwilling-to-leave chubby baby to the door.
Gou Qing, holding onto the door, reminded her, "Don't forget about class tomorrow. We're leaving at nine tomorrow."
Yan Yuehe nodded in agreement: "Okay."
Gou Qing wanted to laugh, for no particular reason.
"sleep tight."
It's not just goodnight, but better than goodnight.
Yan Yuehe was completely dazed from being hit. She let out an "Ah" and replied dryly, "You too."
After saying that, she grabbed Fatty and started running away.
My adrenaline spiked for no apparent reason.
This time, it wasn't her dog walking her; Yan Yuehe ran faster than her dog today.
I got home and closed the door.
Yan Yuehe didn't even have time to remove the leash from her dog's neck before rushing into the yard and running around a few times.
Having exhausted her excess adrenaline, she simply wanted to lie down.
Fatty thought his mom was racing him, so he dragged the rope and followed behind her.
Yan Yuehe pulled her dog son over, took off the leash from its neck, sat down on the spot, grabbed its chubby head with both hands, and said seriously, "Fatty, tomorrow is your first day of school. Can you learn everything you see and master it in just three days so that all the dogs know you're a genius dog?"
"Woof woof woof!" What are you saying, chattering away?
"Very good, very impressive!" Yan Yuehe patted its head. "Tomorrow it's up to you."
She released the struggling chubby baby, stood up, brushed the sand off her body, and went into the bathroom to take a shower.
No allergies, no discomfort, just some residual heat.
So, she just stayed there with that face for over an hour with her dog in-laws?
horrible!
Yan Yuehe hid in the bathtub, and only came out reluctantly after her whole body had changed color from the steam.
The phone on the table, which had been forgotten by its owner for several hours, vibrated. Yan Yuehe walked over while drying her hair.
They all came from Ms. He Yanli.
Yan Yuehe quickly called back.
"Yan Nongnong! Are you trying to scare your mother to death?" He Yanli's voice was trembling. "I don't expect you to answer immediately, but you can't just disappear for four or five hours in broad daylight, can you? Is your phone broken?"
"I forgot my phone..." Yan Yuehe knew she was guilty and felt extremely guilty.
"Forgot your phone? You must have been drawing all night and are catching up on sleep during the day!" He Yanli was even angrier. "You've even learned to lie now. You're someone who stays home all day and never goes out. Besides taking Pangbao out, would you ever go out on your own initiative? And with your small frame, can Pangbao even walk you around for two hours?"
Yan Yuehe: "..."
"Don't say 'but' yet, have your medical examination results come out yet?" He Yanli started to ask about the important matter. "I'm going to the hospital tomorrow, so send me your medical report and I'll make an appointment to have the doctor take a look."
Yan Yuehe has become mute.
The medical examination report is out.
It came out the day before yesterday.
It's as bad as ever.
It was so bad that Yan Yuehe even suspected she had taken the wrong one. She felt perfectly fine; she could run and jump, and at most, she had low blood sugar, was prone to dizziness, and occasionally experienced stomach cramps from being too hungry...
Ms. He Yanli still had something she didn't understand: "If you don't send it to me now, I'll still take you to the hospital when I get back from my business trip."
"Do you want to come with me to see the doctor, or do you want me to wait until I get back and tell you?"
It seems like they've given her a choice, but in reality, they just want her medical report now.
Yan Yuehe surrendered, but before sending it out, she was still bargaining: "Mom, let's make a deal first, you can't be angry after reading it."
Ms. He Yanli did not answer, but kept urging, "Send it over quickly."
Less than a minute after the electronic document was successfully sent, Ms. He Yanli asked with loving concern, "Yan Nongnong! Have you been eating and sleeping on time every day?"
She felt her blood pressure rise just reading it aloud: "Anemia! Abnormal fasting blood sugar! And chronic gastritis?"
"Mom, don't be upset. There are a bunch of other abnormal values that I don't understand." Yan Yuehe comforted him in a nonchalant manner. "But don't worry, I checked online and they are just minor problems. As long as I maintain a regular diet and sleep schedule, I can get them back."
"Then why don't you make the adjustments?" Ms. He Yanli shouted.
Yan Yuehe immediately vowed: "...Starting tomorrow, I will not stay up late to paint, I will eat three meals on time, and I will take Pangbao to exercise for at least two hours every day. If I can't do it, I will move back home next year!"
"Nongnong! You fooled me like this last year too."
Yan Yuehe: "..."
After calming He Yanli down, Yan Yuehe dried her hair under He Yanli's video supervision and went to bed before 11 o'clock.
"Mom, I can't sleep," Yan Yuehe said, her eyes open. "How about letting me go downstairs and draw a picture to help me fall asleep?"
He Yanli wasn't buying it: "If you can't sleep, just close your eyes."
Yan Yuehe obediently did as she was told.
It was very quiet around her, so quiet that Yan Yuehe started to have random thoughts again.
"Why are you grinning like an idiot instead of sleeping?" Ms. He Yanli's cold voice pulled her back to reality.
Yan Yuehe didn't tell her, but suddenly asked curiously, "Mom, how did you and Dad get together?"
“Your maternal grandmother took me to buy new clothes. Your father was sitting at the entrance of your paternal grandmother’s shop reading a book. I took a liking to your father at first sight and kept pestering your maternal grandmother to buy clothes at your paternal grandmother’s shop.”
Yan Yuehe asked in confusion, "I remember that Grandma only ever owned one men's clothing store."
He Yanli said, "Yes, it's a men's clothing store. Aren't all the clothes the same? Who cares if they're for men or women, as long as they're wearable."
Yan Yuehe admired her mother's confidence and composure: "And then?"
He Yanli chuckled: "Then before I paid, I asked your grandma if the young man at the door had a girlfriend. Your grandma said no, so I asked her if I could ask the young man to hold my hand if I bought two more items."
"Your dad is shy. When he gets shy, his face turns completely red. That bright red face is so cute."
"He initially refused, but later he probably agreed because he thought I was pretty."
Yan Yuehe: "That's it?"
"That's it. After we held hands, your dad probably fell for me and insisted on taking responsibility for me. I don't know what kind of responsibility he was going to take, but we ended up together in a daze."
In the darkness.
