Chapter 229 A World of Difference
Huayue was completely unaware of what was happening in the living room. After lunch, she packed up her things and prepared to go out to look for an apartment that afternoon. If she found a suitable one, she would move out as soon as possible.
She had been staying at the Big Pendulum for several days. Huayue felt a little guilty for bothering it for so long.
Huayue packed her luggage, sat on the edge of the bed, and stared out the window in a daze.
The sky is blue and the sun is strong.
But the world is so big, where can she find a place to stay?
Hua Yue's thoughts were in a mess, and somehow she suddenly thought of Yu Qingchuan.
When Mu Ai was young, she also fantasized about what her future partner would look like.
A gentleman is modest and gentle like jade.
Yu Qingchuan almost fulfilled all of Hua Yue's fantasies during her girlhood.
Unfortunately... she doesn't deserve it.
Huayue pursed her lips tightly, her hands unconsciously clenching the sheets on both sides of her body.
She could only bury this feeling that had not yet blossomed deep in her heart.
Then leave quietly with regret and blessings.
"Knock knock knock", the sound of knocking on the door interrupted Huayue's thoughts.
Hua Yue was startled, and quickly stood up and ran to the door to open it.
Yu Qingchuan's handsome face came into view.
"Doctor Yu?" Hua Yue smiled. "What can I do for you?"
Yu Qingchuan was a little afraid to look at Hua Yue when he saw her smile. He lowered his eyelashes slightly and asked, "Have you... eaten?"
Although Huayue has been staying here these days, she has never eaten with them.
She knew that supplies were in short supply in the end times, so she didn't want to cause them trouble.
"I've eaten." Huayue smiled again.
Yu Qingchuan pursed his lips, took out the brown paper bag he had been hiding behind his back, and asked with a slightly reddened ear: "Then... do you want some dessert?"
Huayue was slightly stunned when she heard this. In this environment, there are still desserts?
While Hua Yue was still confused, Yu Qingchuan had already handed over the brown paper bag in his hand.
The bag was open, Huayue looked down and saw that it was indeed a dessert.
The bag contained many puffs, small cake rolls with fillings, and two butterfly cakes.
"This... where did you get this from?" Hua Yue widened her eyes in slight surprise.
Yu Qingchuan pursed his lips and did not answer the question. He just stuffed the bag into Hua Yue's hand and whispered, "Here you go."
He didn't want to lie to Huayue. But Qiao Yu obviously didn't want Huayue to know about the space, so he could only choose to avoid talking about it.
Huayue was caught off guard and he suddenly stuffed the paper bag into her hand.
Hua Yue licked her lips as she looked at the bag of desserts. These things were a favorite food of many girls even before the apocalypse, let alone in an environment like today.
And Huayue just happened to be a person who liked to eat sweets.
But as the saying goes, no reward without merit.
Although she wanted to eat it very much, she had not done anything for them, so how could she have such good food?
Hua Yue handed the bag back to Yu Qingchuan, "No thanks, Doctor Yu...you guys should eat it."
"Don't you like it?" Yu Qingchuan didn't take the bag, but just blinked and asked softly.
Cheng Sinian said that girls all like to eat, especially desserts.
He didn't know what Huayue liked to eat, so he asked Cheng Sinian to order some of each dessert.
It’s just that Cheng Sinian was a bit stingy. Since Luo Zhenzhen liked to eat butterfly cakes, he only gave her two pieces.
But Cheng Sinian clearly used butterfly cakes to win over Luo Zhenzhen.
What if he didn’t give enough butterfly cakes and failed to win over Huayue?
Could it be that Huayue doesn’t want it because she has seen too few butterfly cakes?
Hua Yue, unaware of the bizarre logic in Yu Qingchuan's mind, simply shook her head. She whispered, "It's hard to find desserts of this quality these days. These things must have been hard-earned. I feel bad for not accepting them."
After listening to Hua Yue's story, Yu Qingchuan knew she wasn't rejecting the butterfly cakes because she hadn't given them enough, and he breathed a sigh of relief. Then he shook his head, pushed the bag toward Hua Yue again, and said gently, "We have more. These are specially for you."
"Anything else?" Hua Yue's eyes widened when she heard that.
These are already a lot, but there is more?
How could they find so many sweet treats in the apocalypse?!
Hua Yue looked at the paper bag, then at Yu Qingchuan, "Doctor Yu...would you like to come in and sit down?"
"There are too many desserts for me to finish. Why don't we share them?"
In such hot weather, desserts will go bad quickly if you don’t finish them.
Although she didn't know where Yu Qingchuan found such a fresh dessert, since he insisted on giving it to her, she had to eat it as soon as possible and absolutely not let them down.
When Yu Qingchuan heard Hua Yue inviting him into the house, he subconsciously wanted to refuse, but when he looked at Hua Yue's pretty face, the words Cheng Sinian had said to him suddenly emerged in his mind.
——"When it comes to getting married, being shy is useless."
So the rejection that was about to come out of my mouth immediately turned into "yes".
Huayue smiled at him, moved sideways to make room at the door, and motioned for him to come in.
It was the first time Yu Qingchuan entered Hua Yue's room, and the tips of his ears were slightly red.
But when he saw the luggage neatly packed and placed on the ground, his heart sank.
"Are you... planning on leaving so soon?"
Seeing his eyes fixed on the luggage on the ground, Hua Yue twitched the corners of her mouth and forced a smile, "Yes. Thank you so much for your care these days. But I can't always trouble you."
"I plan to go out and look for a house this afternoon. Once I find a suitable one, I'll probably move out tomorrow."
Yu Qingchuan pursed his lips and said, "It's not a big deal. Now that you've left the team and are all alone, if you go out and live with me...we're a little worried about you."
"How about staying a little longer?"
Qiao Yu said she needed to observe Hua Yue for a while. Yu Qingchuan thought about it and felt that the fastest way was to keep Hua Yue so that Qiao Yu could observe her.
And just now Cheng Sinian had been persuading him to keep Huayue.
——Because… “The one who is closest to the water sees the moon first.”
Hua Yue was stunned when she heard this.
Dr. Yu...is he trying to keep her?
Huayue was a little confused for a moment and couldn't help but fall silent.
From an emotional point of view, she really wanted to stay, but her mind told her that she couldn't get any deeper into it.
Hua Yue is not a fool. She can vaguely feel that Yu Qingchuan treats her differently.
No one has ever been so kind to her as Yu Qingchuan.
But she is a person who has been stuck in the quagmire since childhood.
He is the moon in the sky and she is the mud on the ground.
The world of mud is muddy and dirty, so how can we dare to hope for a gentleman as bright as the moon?
A world of difference is never just an idiom.
