Chapter 408: She Loves Him Very Much]

The Huo family and the Ye family are not far from each other, but not very close either.

One time, Ye Xianghong suddenly felt unwell, but Ye Qingyue was working overtime in the hospital, and only Ye Feng was at home.

At that time, Ye Xianghong was in so much pain that she couldn't be taken away by bicycle, so Ye Feng had to go to the Jiang family to call for help.

In the end, it was Jiang Shaoyan who drove Ye Xianghong to the hospital.

Ye Qingyue felt uncomfortable for a while because of this.

Huo Qingchi knew that she loved her family very much, so he wanted to share some of the burden for Ye Qingyue and help her take care of her family.

So, Huo Qingchi secretly bought a house near Ye Qingyue's house. Now that it has been renovated, he can move in directly. He told Ye Qingyue and gave her a surprise.

Ye Qingyue was stunned when Huo Qingchi said he was going to move closer to his home. She said, "Why are you moving suddenly?"

Her reaction was different from what Huo Qingchi expected.

Huo Qingchi thought that if they lived closer, it would be more convenient for them to see each other during breaks, and Ye Qingyue would be happy.

In the past few years, after they got together, because their respective careers were on the rise, either Huo Qingchi was on a business trip or Ye Qingyue had several major surgeries in succession.

When they were busy, they would only see each other once every two or three months.

Ye Qingyue had an independent personality, but when they were alone together, she couldn't help but tell him that it would be nice if they could have more time like this.

Huo Qingchi kept Ye Qingyue's words in mind.

"I..."

Huo Qingchi hesitated, and told him that when Ye Xianghong was sick, Ye Qingyue couldn't take care of her in time, and he wanted to help.

As for his memory of Ye Qingyue's words that she wanted to see him more often, he didn't mention it.

For some reason, Huo Qingchi didn't want to mention it.

He felt that saying such words would bring more pressure to the relationship between the two.

"No need."

Ye Qingyue didn't expect that Huo Qingchi was planning to move in order to help her take care of her family. She said directly: "You are busier than me. Even if you move to a place near my house, you may not be at home often. If something really happens, let Ah Feng go to grandma's house to find someone to help. It's faster to ride a bicycle."

Moreover, Ye Feng is already an adult, and his family is also considering letting him learn to drive.

Huo Qingchi was silent when he heard this.

Ye Qingyue noticed that the atmosphere was not right and looked at him. Seeing that Huo Qingchi didn't have much expression on his face, those messy emotions began to surge in his heart again.

"...I'm sorry."

Ye Qingyue took a deep breath and stopped.

Huo Qingchi also stopped to look at her, but didn't say anything.

"I know you did it for me, I shouldn't have poured cold water on you."

Ye Qingyue said, "I just..."

The pressure was too great.

And this pressure was just not convenient to tell Huo Qingchi.

Ye Qingyue looked at Huo Qingchi for a while, then looked away, not daring to look at him again.

"Qingchi, give me a little time, wait until I calm down, then we can talk again, okay?" Ye Qingyue said.

Huo Qingchi said, "How long is a little time?"

He had an inexplicable feeling -

Ye Qingyue was pushing him away.

This scared him.

Having been with Ye Qingyue for several years, they had never quarreled, and people around them were surprised by this. How could a couple not quarrel?

But they just wouldn't quarrel.

The two have the same values, the same views on things, and can empathize with each other.

Even if there is a little friction, they can quickly understand each other's feelings and reconcile.

Ye Qingyue's behavior made Huo Qingchi feel that it would be better to have a quarrel.

At least it is better than pushing him away.

Huo Qingchi didn't want his relationship with Ye Qingyue to be so cold.

"...I don't know."

Ye Qingyue didn't know how to respond to Huo Qingchi's question, "Anyway, let's talk when I calm down."

Seeing Huo Qingchi's hurt expression, she hesitated for a moment before saying, "As for the move, you can go according to the plan. I am also happy to be your neighbor."

This was not a lie to coax Huo Qingchi.

Even at this moment, Ye Qingyue wanted to avoid Huo Qingchi because of her premarital anxiety and felt stressed when she was with him, but Huo Qingchi was the man she loved the most. How could she not be happy if the two of them could stay close to each other and protect each other?

It's just that her current condition is too bad.

After saying that, Ye Qingyue left in a hurry without even looking at Huo Qingchi's expression.

"Qingyue."

Huo Qingchi quickly followed, his voice still so gentle, just a little muffled, "I will give you time to calm down, but it's too late today, let me take you home, okay?"

"Yes."

Ye Qingyue nodded, and the two walked on the road in silence.

Not long after, they arrived at the door of Ye Qingyue's house.

"You should go back early, too."

Ye Qingyue stood at the door, turned around and said to Huo Qingchi, "You must be very tired after your business trip, right?"

"Well, I'll be leaving then."

Huo Qingchi saw that Ye Qingyue was talking to him with some reluctance, and he had an indescribable feeling in his heart.

He didn't want to look at Ye Qingyue's expression at this time, so he turned and left.

Huo Qingchi didn't understand what exactly went wrong between him and Ye Qingyue.

Did he do something wrong?

Or did Ye Qingyue encounter something but didn't want to tell him?

Huo Qingchi had vaguely felt before that Ye Qingyue had been avoiding him a little recently. She was no longer like before. As long as they were free, the two would stick together. Even if they didn't do anything, they would stay together to pass the time.

He thought of what the adults said about the seven-year itch. Two people will always get bored after being together for a long time.

Is Ye Qingyue tired of him?

When Huo Qingchi thought of this, he couldn't help but look back.

At this time, he had walked a long way, and only a small piece of Ye Qingyue's house remained in his eyes.

But in that small square, there was a thin figure standing, looking at him from a distance.

He didn't know how long he had been in this posture.

Seeing him looking, the figure waved at him.

Huo Qingchi's nose was sore, and his heart, which was about to turn cold, suddenly felt warm.

He was ashamed of his previous thoughts.

How could Ye Qingyue not love him?

With this glance, Huo Qingchi was sure in his heart that Ye Qingyue really loved him.

He also loved Ye Qingyue very much.

But why did they suddenly become like this?

...

Ye Qingyue stood at the door of her house, watching Huo Qingchi gradually walk away.

The man's behavior was the same as usual, but she could detect that the man was in a bad mood from the smallest details.

It seemed that Huo Qingchi's steps were slower than before, and his head was slightly lowered, unlike his usual high and broad walk.

Ye Qingyue watched for a long time, and when Huo Qingchi's back was only a small part in her sight, she suddenly turned around.

On the dim road, the two of them couldn't even see each other's faces, but at this moment, they felt that their eyes met.

Ye Qingyue raised her hand and waved, motioning him to go back quickly.

After she could no longer see him, Ye Qingyue turned around and went into the house.

After she finished washing up, she saw the paper bag that she had put on the table when she returned to the room. She took out a sugar-roasted chestnut from it, peeled one and put it in her mouth.

It was already cold.

Ye Qingyue slowly finished the whole bag, then lay on the table, buried her head in her arms, and said nothing.

…

The next day, Ye Qingyue went to work as usual. There was no outpatient clinic today, but there was a small surgery in the morning.

Ye Qingyue changed her clothes and asked the nurse to help her put on a mask.

The nurse approached her and said in surprise: "Director Ye, did you stay up late last night? You look so bad! This is the first time I see you have dark circles under your eyes!"
