"Can I go with you?" Lin Mengxi walked over gracefully, passed me directly, looked at Chang Yue, and asked softly.
Chang Yue barely hesitated, her lips curled up into a gentle smile as she readily replied, "Sure... You've come all this way, and if I refuse... it would seem like I'm being unkind."
I looked at Chang Yue in surprise and disbelief, wondering what she meant by this. This change in attitude was too sudden.
Upon hearing this, Lin Mengxi nodded slightly, lowered her head slightly, and followed Xu Qian silently. The group walked towards Zhu Wei's house.
…
When we got back to Zhu Wei's house, the table was already filled with food... Everyone was sitting around the table. I looked at Lin Mengxi who was sitting next to me... She looked reserved and her movements were restrained. I couldn't help feeling a pang of sadness in my heart.
During the meal, no one spoke first. The silence was so oppressive that the air seemed to be frozen... This silence was uncomfortable, as if even the sound of breathing was particularly clear.
After a while, Chang Yue suddenly turned to look at me, his eyes full of seriousness, and said softly: "Congratulations...Lin Yu, you survived this disaster..."
When I heard this, I was stunned at first, a trace of confusion flashed in my eyes. After coming to my senses, a smile appeared on the corner of my mouth and I responded: "Yeah, I finally made it through."
Zhu Wei and Xu Qian ate silently without interrupting. Lin Mengxi also quietly lowered her head and ate the rice in the bowl without making any other sound.
Chang Yue looked at me intently, and I stared at her as well. Her behavior today was so abnormal that I couldn't help but feel confused and had no idea why she was like this.
Late at night, everything is quiet, and the whole world seems to have fallen asleep... I leaned against the head of the bed, with a lot of thoughts in my mind... The sound of running water came from the bathroom.
Not long after, Chang Yue finished her shower and walked out of the bathroom wearing the sexy pajamas I bought for her... She had never worn them before... Her figure was looming, like a rose blooming in the dark night.
I looked up at her, a helpless smile appeared on the corner of my mouth, and jokingly said: "What are you doing? Are you trying to seduce me?"
Chang Yue walked gracefully to the side of my bed. A charming smile blossomed on her face. She leaned forward slightly, leaning on my chest, and asked softly, "Do you think you can do it now?"
I steeled myself, biting my lower lip. I said, "To be honest, I've been holding it in for a long time." Looking at Chang Yue in my arms, I smelled the fragrance of her hair. Then I said, "Anyway, I won't move. Even if I die under the roses, I'll still be romantic. Come on, come on."
"Okay." Chang Yue tilted her head slightly and responded with a smile.
….
The next morning...
I was sleeping when I was woken up by Chang Yue who was talking on the phone on the balcony. I turned my head slightly and looked towards the balcony. Although she tried her best to lower her voice, she seemed very excited and her voice still came through intermittently.
I called her name softly...not too loudly, for fear of disturbing her.
However, Chang Yue seemed immersed in the conversation on the other end of the phone and did not hear my call.
After more than ten minutes, Chang Yue came in. I noticed that her face was a little red.
I pointed at her face and asked, a little confused, "Who are you calling so early in the morning? You look so excited..."
Chang Yue's eyes dodged, and she said, "No... I made you some steamed red dates and eggs. I'll bring them over to you."
I was confused. Could something be wrong? Or was it Li Minghao again? Thinking of this, I felt a little angry.
At noon, Chang Yue pushed my wheelchair and took me for a stroll in the small garden downstairs. I turned my head and asked, "Who did you call this morning?"
"Could you please stop asking..." There was a hint of pleading in Chang Yue's tone, and his brows were slightly furrowed.
"Is it Li Minghao again?" I raised my voice, with obvious displeasure and questioning in my tone.
Chang Yue also looked at me with an unhappy expression. Then he walked in front of me, slowly squatted down, and looked me in the eye. He said firmly, "No... Don't think so. I will never do anything to let you down... And what happened last time was for a reason."
"What's the reason?"
"I don't want to talk about it, but you will know it eventually." Chang Yue sighed softly, with a hint of helplessness in his eyes.
I hesitated for a long time, and looking at Chang Yue's sincere eyes, the anger in my heart finally dissipated... I sighed helplessly, turned my head, and inadvertently saw Lin Mengxi sitting quietly on a bench by the lake.
I looked at Chang Yue and asked, "Why hasn't she left yet?"
"I have no idea.."
Chang Yue pushed me towards Lin Mengxi..
In just a few steps, I suddenly felt an inexplicable panic in my heart, and my heart was pounding as if it was going to jump out of my throat... I immediately turned around and looked around.
Chang Yue was confused by my sudden action and asked angrily, "What are you doing?"
At this moment, Lin Mengxi seemed to have noticed us and walked towards us...
I accidentally caught a glimpse of a figure behind a tree. I looked closely and gasped...
It was him! That bastard! How dare he show up!
He was smiling brightly at me... that smile looked like a demon to me! I don't know how he managed to escape Master Zhu's pursuit, twice... maybe there was someone behind him? But if there was someone behind him... why did he appear alone both times? If there was another one, he would have been doomed last time.
