Chapter 242: Help me book a train ticket to Hong Kong City
Xu Xiaoyue glanced at He Zhiyu and made a provocative face.
She was grinning, but she was really pretty. Even though her little face was wrinkled and squeezed together, you could still see some liveliness in it.
He Zhiyu glared at her, turned around and looked like he didn't want to argue with her.
He Zhiyu really couldn't understand why his elder brother felt that such a vulgar little girl was like the lost Zhuzhu.
He was just thinking with his head down when the door of the ward was pushed open.
He Zhishu first glanced at the girl, fearing that she would be bullied by others when he was away.
The girl looked rosy-faced, and she had re-tied her hair into two smooth black braids on her shoulders. She looked more energetic than before.
On the contrary, He Zhiyu next to him had a gloomy face and no one knew what he was thinking.
"Where's my mother?"
He Zhiyu glanced behind the man and asked.
"My aunt has something else to do, so I'll go back first."
"Go back, why did she go back?" He Zhiyu's face was full of unhappiness. She was waiting for someone to make the decision for her, so why did she go back?
"When my aunt left, she told you to stop making trouble."
Make trouble?
Who is making trouble?
He Zhiyu's face darkened. She pinched her fingers into her palms and subconsciously opened her mouth to argue, but was stopped by He Zhiyu.
"Xiaoyu, listen to what mom says first."
Although He Zhiyu didn't understand why his mother suddenly backed down, after thinking for a moment, he still chose to back down.
This was the first time in He Zhiyu's life that he felt so miserable.
"Xiao Yu!"
Seeing the person running away, He Zhiyu hurriedly chased after him.
"Aren't you going to chase him?" Xu Xiaoyue asked, pointing outside the door.
He Zhishu shook his head. "Given Xiaoyu's personality, it would be better to let her calm down alone."
He Zhishu went abroad to study at an early age. He does not have a strong affection for his younger brothers and sisters at home, but he has more of a sense of responsibility.
Not to mention people like He Zhiyu, who is spoiled by his family.
He Zhishu's eyes fell on Xu Xiaoyue. He stepped forward and used his slender fingers to tidy up the girl's hair by her ear.
"Why is your hair so messy?"
Xu Xiaoyue didn't react immediately. In the blink of an eye, the two of them were very close to each other. She could even smell the scent of ink on He Zhishu's body.
If He Zhishu hadn't looked at her with a look that contained no ambiguity, Xu Xiaoyue would have almost thought that he was trying to molest her.
From He Zhishu’s perspective, what he saw was the girl’s almond eyes suddenly widened, and her ears moved like a frightened animal.
He looked at the girl's little head and felt that if the lost Zhuzhu grew up, her head would probably only reach his chest.
If the doctor hadn’t said it herself, He Zhishu really couldn’t tell that she was already a mother.
I am already a child, and I have another child in my belly.
She had taken a train all the way here from the capital, and I don’t know how her husband could be so relieved, or maybe... he just didn’t care at all.
Thinking of this, He Zhishu's dark eyes darkened, and he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.
Xu Xiaoyue stepped back and said, "Brother He, don't get so close to me suddenly next time."
Her tone was not good, more like a complaint, seriously complaining that He Zhishu scared her.
Aunt Zhang, who was listening nearby, felt that the girl was really brave.
He Zhishu was not angry, but bowed, "Okay, I won't do it next time."
As he spoke, he took a few steps back and put his hands into his bag, his movements done naturally and in one go.
He Zhishu tightly grasped his hair in his hands, his heart beating so fast that it seemed to exceed its capacity.
Although he had asked about Xu Xiaoyue's age, which did not match that of the missing Zhuzhu, a voice in He Zhishu's heart still kept echoing.
What if?
What if she really is Zhuzhu.
For this one in ten thousand chance, He Zhishu was willing to take a gamble.
"Xiaoyue, you almost scared me to death just now."
Only after everyone had left did Aunt Zhang dare to pat her chest, but the woman's face no longer had the calmness it had before.
"Next time, don't be so impulsive. That's He Zhiyu, and you're probably the only one who dares to slap her."
Aunt Zhang started to lecture people.
Xu Xiaoyue nodded, looking extremely obedient at this moment, and agreed readily, "Yes, yes, Aunt Zhang, you are right."
"Stop being so frivolous."
Aunt Zhang tapped Xu Xiaoyue's little nose. She had been worried ever since she entered the hospital.
"Since the doctor has said you need to be hospitalized, you don't have to go to the store during this period. I will pay you your salary as usual. You must take care of yourself in the hospital alone."
"Aunt Zhang, you are so kind to me. When the baby is born, I will let him recognize you as his grandmother." Xu Xiaoyue smiled and was in the mood to joke.
"What's the matter with grandma or not."
Aunt Zhang sometimes couldn't figure out whether this girl was born stupid or too frank. No matter what happened, she always looked optimistic and laughed all the time.
Aunt Zhang looked at the girl's flat belly, and felt a sense of inexplicable anticipation in her heart.
"No news yet?"
Yan Ye glanced at the calendar on the wall. The days when no one was found were filled with dense crosses.
The winter solstice is just two days away.
In December, the temperature in the capital city dropped suddenly, as if winter had arrived early.
Xu Xiaoyue was most afraid of the cold, so every night before going to bed, he would put two hot water bottles under the girl's feet to cover them.
Even so, when the girl got out of bed in the morning, she would still shiver all over from the cold.
I don’t know if she can take care of herself when the temperature drops.
Yan Ye stared at the calendar with a blurred gaze, his eyes gradually turning red.
These days, in order to find her, he couldn't remember how many times he had boarded that train along the way. Every time he passed a point, he expected to meet her at the next corner.
In his dreams at midnight, he even suspected that he was sick. Perhaps there was no such person as Xu Xiaoyue in the world, otherwise how could such a healthy person suddenly disappear?
He even hoped that this was just his imagination torturing himself.
Yan Ye had never known that finding someone was such a difficult thing. There was no news about her anywhere in the world.
"It will take some time."
Wang Jianhua couldn't remember how many times he had said this. He had become numb from saying it and his mind was confused. He was almost forgetting what Xu Xiaoyue looked like.
Yan Ye seemed to have expected this, his face showed no emotion, his voice was as cold as ice, and he gave the order without any emotion in his eyes.
"Please help me book a train ticket to Hong Kong City."
Hong Kong City is his last stop.
If he couldn't find anyone, he thought, he would go crazy sooner or later.
"Where are you going again?"
Liu Ye called out to the man and looked at the small bag in Yan Ye's hand.
Ever since Xu Xiaoyue disappeared, her brother-in-law seemed to have lost his popularity. He was cold and expressionless all day long, like an ice cube.
That face seemed tense and he never smiled. It seemed that nothing could arouse his attention except Xu Xiaoyue.
The more Yan Ye acted like this, the more uncomfortable Liu Ye felt. She was tormented by guilt and remorse, and she never had a good night's sleep.
"Go find someone."
After saying that, only the sound of the door closing was left.
