Ah Chou then realized that Chen Qingxuan was wearing the same clothes as when he went out yesterday, and he hadn't even taken off his cloak, which was still on his body. It was hanging on the ground, and a large area was wet.
"Mr. Chen, what happened to you?" Ah Chou looked at Chen Qingxuan's slightly wet hair. Then she looked at the cloak hanging on the ground. She felt that Chen Qingxuan was a little abnormal. She bent down and picked up a corner of the cloak from the ground. She was surprised to see that there was a big tear on it. "Mr. Chen, didn't you go to a banquet last night? Why is the corner of your clothes wet and torn so big? Did you fall?"
"Where did you go last night?" Chen Qingxuan did not answer, but stared at Ah Chou without blinking. The look in his eyes expressed depression and anger. It was the first time Ah Chou had seen such a look.
"I... I went home," Ah Chou was a little afraid of Chen Qingxuan. Not because she was afraid of him as a person. But because she was habitually afraid of doctors. She put a corner of the cloak on the chair, and then shrank her neck back. She whispered, "But I took the medicine. And when I went out, I wore very thick clothes, you see. I put on Grandma Chen's cotton robe, and I'm not cold at all. Mr. Chen, today I..."
"Didn't I tell you not to go anywhere? Why are you so disobedient?" Chen Qingxuan tried so hard to suppress the anger in his heart that the veins on his forehead bulged. He looked at Ah Chou who was drooping his head in front of him and felt that he had spoken too harshly. He took a deep breath and was about to slow down his voice and talk to Ah Chou nicely, but at a glance he saw two red marks on Ah Chou's neck, and his hands in his sleeves suddenly clenched into fists.
"bump!"
The next second, Chen Qingxuan punched his thigh hard.
"Mr. Chen!" Ah Chou was almost scared to death. In her impression, Chen Qingxuan had always been gentle and refined, and this gentleness was not only reflected in his conversation, but also in his behavior. This kind of inappropriate behavior was the first time Ah Chou had seen it, and she was naturally scared. She vaguely knew that Chen Qingxuan was angry, and he should be angry with her, but she really didn't know why Chen Qingxuan was so angry. Isn't it just going home? What is there for Chen Qingxuan to be angry about?
"Mr. Chen, this is all my fault. Please be magnanimous and don't be angry with me," Ah Chou went to apologize to Chen Qingxuan. "I should have left you a note before leaving last night, but you know I can't read, so I can't write a note. If you..."
"Is this a matter of whether you can read or not?" Chen Qingxuan suddenly interrupted Ah Chou's words. He looked at Ah Chou coldly, "Last night, you clearly promised me that you would not go out without permission, so why did you break your promise and sneak out? And in the middle of the night! You know I..."
Do you know how scared I was when I came back and couldn't see you?
Do you know that I was groping in the dark looking for you until late at night?
Do you know how many times I fell while climbing the mountain against the wind?
Do you know how long I have been wandering around your door but never dared to knock?
…
Chen Qingxuan took a deep breath and swallowed all the anger and bitterness in his heart. He knew it was not Achou's fault, and he also knew he shouldn't have said such nonsense to Achou, but he felt really bad.
Yesterday, at the prefectural government office, he was absent-mindedly eating the tasteless banquet, thinking about the furry little head that popped out from behind the door. His heart was like grass growing on it. He really couldn't sit still, and finally he said goodbye in advance without caring about the prefect's face, and hurried back. In fact, what would it matter if he came back? Ah Chou must have gone to bed, but he still wanted to come back early, even if he couldn't see Ah Chou, but it would be good to stay under the same roof with Ah Chou. In this life, he was destined not to be with Ah Chou, so he must cherish this short time.
His sweetheart was sleeping across the wall from him, and he would remember that sour and sweet feeling for the rest of his life.
However, when he came back in the wind and snow, the house was dark and cold. He searched the mountain for Achou like crazy, but what was she doing at that time?
…
Chen Qingxuan suddenly turned his eyes away and stopped looking at Achou's neck.
Ah Chou was even more at a loss: "Mr. Chen, you..."
