Chapter 13 Chapter 13 I'll Accompany You
Lu Mingzhou recalled the night when he first met Ye Anyu. He couldn't sleep, so he wanted to go to the rooftop to relax.
But as soon as he walked into the rooftop, he heard soft sobbing. Lu Mingzhou thought he had heard it wrong. After all, only children from this area would come here, and he basically knew all the children in this area. These people would definitely not come here to cry in the middle of the night.
When Lu Mingzhou gently pushed open the door, a small figure appeared in front of him. It was a little girl with two ponytails. Lu Mingzhou had never seen her before.
But thinking about what his father said during dinner that the daughter of the Ye family would be brought back today, could she be the daughter of the Ye family?
Lu Mingzhou slowly walked to the little girl and sat down next to her. The little girl was crying so hard that she didn't notice him until Lu Mingzhou gently patted her back and took out a lollipop given to her by her deskmate at school during the day from his pocket and handed it to the little girl.
When the little girl saw someone sitting next to her, she was obviously startled and instantly became hostile, but when she saw the lollipop in front of her, she said "thank you" softly.
They sat side by side on the rooftop for a long time that day.
After returning, Lu Mingzhou was actually looking forward to meeting the little girl again, because he found that he felt very safe sitting next to the little girl. It was a kind of peace that he had never experienced before.
The second meeting was not long after. Someone gave him a diary of his biological mother that day, and he learned some hidden truths. After reading it, he felt very painful and ran to the rooftop and cried loudly.
This time it was the little girl who came to comfort him. She tiptoed to his side and sat down, but she didn't say anything. She just sat quietly beside him until he stopped crying. The little girl asked in a childish voice, "Brother, what's wrong with you?"
Lu Mingzhou didn't say anything, just shook his head.
The little girl blinked her big eyes and took something out of her pocket and handed it to Lu Mingzhou. It was a lollipop that was bigger than the one he had in his hand yesterday.
The little girl said sweetly, "My grandma said that if you feel bitter in your heart, eat something sweet, and your heart will become sweet."
Lu Mingzhou took the candy handed to him by the little girl, and the two of them sat side by side on the rooftop again.
When Ye Anyu grew up, he found out that what his grandmother said was totally wrong. When one feels bitter, even sweet things will turn bitter.
Lunch was prepared by Ye Anyu. Ye Anyu always had a strong appetite on weekends. Although he had breakfast late, his stomach would rumble on time at mealtime.
Ye Anyu rummaged through the refrigerator and found that the vegetables she bought a few days ago were basically eaten. She ran to the study and knocked on the door. After knocking for a long time, no one answered. Just when Ye Anyu was confused, Lu Mingzhou walked out of the bedroom.
Ye Anyu raised his head and looked towards the second floor, then raised his voice and asked, "I plan to cook lunch. I'll go to the supermarket to buy what you want to eat."
Everything about the villa area is good except that the supermarket is a long way away. On weekdays, Lu Mingzhou orders groceries online, while Ye Anyu buys some at the supermarket on his way home from get off work and brings them back.
"You can buy it with your mobile phone." Lu Mingzhou reminded.
"No need, I'll just go out for a while. What do you want to eat?" Ye Anyu likes the feeling of shopping in the supermarket. When she lived with her grandmother as a child, her grandmother often took her to the vegetable market. Ye Anyu felt that it was full of life. Although her grandmother had passed away for a long time, she had always kept this habit.
Lu Mingzhou didn't answer. He went downstairs to the entrance, put on his coat, and saw Ye Anyu standing there motionless. He asked, "Aren't you leaving?"
Ye Anyu was also surprised by Lu Mingzhou's actions, so was he planning to go shopping with her? There was no doubt about it, because Lu Mingzhou had already opened the door and half stepped out.
"I can go by myself." Ye Anyu muttered softly, but his legs followed Lu Mingzhou out very consciously.
"I'm going to drive, wait for me." After saying this, Lu Mingzhou walked towards the parking garage.
After a while, a black Bentley stopped steadily in front of Ye Anyu. Lu Mingzhou motioned her to get in the car. After a long mental struggle, Ye Anyu finally opened the back door.
Because Ye Anyu had heard from others that Lu Mingzhou didn't like others sitting in his passenger seat. Although sitting in the back seat was a bit impolite, in order not to make Lu Mingzhou dislike him, Ye Anyu felt that his approach was wise.
Lu Mingzhou frowned and said, "Sit in the front."
Hearing this, Ye Anyu obediently closed the back door, walked to the front, opened the door and sat in the passenger seat.
"I heard from others that you don't like others sitting in the passenger seat." Ye Anyu explained.
"Yeah." Lu Mingzhou did not deny it.
After saying this, Lu Mingzhou fell silent.
The two looked at each other in silence all the way. After arriving at the supermarket, Ye Anyu felt that she still needed to remind Lu Mingzhou: "There are a lot of people in the supermarket. How about I go there by myself and you wait for me here?" If someone recognized Lu Mingzhou and found out that they were shopping in the supermarket together, then all their three years of hiding would be wasted.
Hearing this, Lu Mingzhou shook his head and said, "I'll go with you."
There were bright and clean shelves and a wide variety of goods. The two walked side by side. Lu Mingzhou was pushing a small truck and looking around with interest.
This was the first time Ye Anyu went to the supermarket with Lu Mingzhou. Ye Anyu glanced at Lu Mingzhou out of the corner of his eye. Because he didn't have to go to work today, Lu Mingzhou was wearing a black and gray casual outfit with a well-tailored coat on the outside. Unlike his usual serious appearance, Lu Mingzhou looked a little youthful at this moment.
Ye Anyu couldn't help but take a few more glances, but was caught by Lu Mingzhou.
"What's wrong? Is there anything you want to eat?"
"I want to eat that." Ye Anyu pointed casually at the shelf next to Lu Mingzhou.
Canned cat food.
…
The air suddenly froze.
"I mean the little orange cat in the community wants to eat that." Ye Anyu explained dryly.
Lu Mingzhou was silent for a few seconds, then took a few cans from the shelf and put them into the pickup truck.
Ye Anyu lowered his head guiltily, feeling extremely annoyed. Beauty really can lead to misleading people!
"Is there anything else you want to eat?" Lu Mingzhou seemed not to notice anything unusual just now.
That's right, Lu Mingzhou's train of thought seemed to be different from that of ordinary people. Ye Anyu felt relieved and said, "I want to go to the snack area over there."
After saying this, Ye Anyu quickly walked forward a few steps, but she didn't see Lu Mingzhou in her peripheral vision. She stopped and turned to look over.
Lu Mingzhou stood there in a daze, staring at her straight. That look was something Ye Anyu had never seen before. Ye Anyu was stunned for a moment. Why not give up the snacks today and let her come and buy them herself later.
Just as she opened her mouth slightly, Lu Mingzhou, who had been standing there in a daze, followed her.
"Why don't we go directly to the vegetable section." Lu Mingzhou has always been a person with detailed plans and clear goals. His goal of coming to the supermarket today was to buy vegetables, but Ye Anyu asked him to buy snacks just to satisfy his appetite, which naturally made him unhappy.
"Let's go." After saying this, Lu Mingzhou pushed the small truck straight towards the snack area. Now it was Ye Anyu's turn to stand there in a daze.
In the past, when Ye Anyu arrived at the snack area, she would definitely pick and choose carefully and buy a bunch of her favorite snacks. At this time, Lu Mingzhou was standing beside her, and her mind was all on Lu Mingzhou.
After Lu Mingzhou arrived at the snack area, he took several bags of snacks from the shelves and put them into the small truck: potato chips, sandwich biscuits, pork jerky, candied fruit...
They were all snacks that he usually ate. If it was just one or two, it would be fine, but the snacks that Lu Mingzhou took were all his favorites. Ye Anyu didn't believe it would be such a coincidence, unless Lu Mingzhou had specially observed them.
Ye Anyu looked at Lu Mingzhou's back, tears welling up in her eyes. This emotion was inexplicable. In the final analysis, Ye Anyu was blaming herself for not doing her best. No matter what Lu Mingzhou did for her, her heart would be moved by him.
After realizing that there was no one behind him, Lu Mingzhou stopped and turned his head to look. Lu Mingzhou seemed a little at a loss.
"The air conditioner is blowing too strong." Ye Anyu wiped his eyes with his sleeve, walked to Lu Mingzhou, and said, "This is enough for us to eat. Let's go buy some groceries."
Without waiting for Lu Mingzhou to nod, Ye Anyu walked straight towards the vegetable area.
Don't have any illusions. Lu Mingzhou has a good memory. He just wrote it down when he saw it occasionally. You are about to get divorced. Don't be so reluctant to let go. Otherwise, you will be the one who gets hurt in the end. After comforting yourself in this way, Ye Anyu returned to normal on the surface.
In the following time, Ye Anyu was absent-minded and casually picked a few dishes that she would eat on a daily basis. However, Lu Mingzhou followed her closely, pushing a small truck.
When the two returned home, it was already one o'clock in the afternoon. If Ye Anyu had cooked something casually, she could have finished it quickly, but with Lu Mingzhou included, she couldn't cook anything casually, which meant that she would not be able to finish the meal until two or three o'clock in the afternoon.
She decided to discuss it with Lu Mingzhou. She pointed to the time, looked at Lu Mingzhou, and said, "How about we just grab something to eat?"
Lu Mingzhou was also aware of this problem and looked at Ye Anyu and said, "Let's do it together."
Before Ye Anyu could figure out what this meant, Lu Mingzhou had already walked past her and reached the kitchen door.
So Lu Mingzhou was planning to cook with her? Ye Anyu immediately followed him into the kitchen.
"Wash this vegetable." As Ye Anyu just walked into the kitchen, Lu Mingzhou stuffed a pot of vegetables in front of him.
While washing vegetables, Ye Anyu looked at Lu Mingzhou stupidly. Lu Mingzhou picked up the kitchen knife very skillfully, and after a while, the peppers were neatly arranged on the chopping board.
This is the married life I dream of, shopping together, cooking together, eating together, and sleeping together.
Ye Anyu did have some expectations at that time, but when she heard those words, she knew that expectations were just expectations. After getting married, the two of them treated each other with respect, just like real guests.
——From now on, Party A and Party B begin their three-year contract marriage.
——During the contract period, Party B must act like Party A’s wife and must not interfere with the other party’s private life.
——When the contract ends, Party B must forget the past three years and is not allowed to bother Party A.
Party A: Lu Mingzhou, Party B: Ye Anyu.
Over the past three years, whenever Ye Anyu had a trace of delusion in her heart, these three contracts would severely shatter her fantasy.
But this was not Ye Anyu's delusion, but he actually appeared in front of her, less than a month before the contract expired.
Ye Anyu really wanted to rush over and ask Lu Mingzhou what he meant, but unfortunately she didn't have the courage. Her spirit had been worn away by three years of marriage.
… “What do you mean?”
... "It doesn't mean anything."
She didn't have the courage to take on Lu Mingzhou's answer.
"Are the vegetables ready?" Lu Mingzhou asked.
After not hearing any answer, Lu Mingzhou looked up at Ye Anyu, and Ye Anyu hurriedly handed over the washed vegetables in his hand.
"Bring these two dishes to the table." Lu Mingzhou said as he cooked.
Ye Anyu quickly took it away and then returned to the kitchen. Ye Anyu stared at Lu Mingzhou who was stir-frying the food in his hands, "What else should I do?"
Lu Mingzhou didn't even raise his eyelids, "Wait for dinner."
