At this moment, Zhu Qinghao noticed that she seemed to have never seen Sheng Yi's left hand all day, as it had been almost entirely behind his back.
Upon hearing her question, Sheng Yi's smile faded slightly, but not noticeably, and he answered nonchalantly:
"Well, it's just a small matter. The hospital gave me leave, so I went back to Kyoto to take care of some things. I just didn't expect Hao Hao to be here too."
The voice was as warm and pleasant as ever, and there was no other emotion in it; it really seemed to be just a minor matter.
However, a big question mark slowly rose in Zhu Qinghao's heart. Sheng Yi must have something on his mind, but he didn't want to say it.
For no apparent reason, Zhu Qinghao suddenly felt a little irritated, unsure whether it was because of Sheng Yi's concealment or because his appearance would disrupt her plans.
So Zhu Qinghao didn't speak for a long time, but just walked forward with her head down. Neither of them realized that they were walking in the direction of the Zhu family villa, which they could never return to.
Sheng Yi was very perceptive and quickly noticed that Zhu Qinghao was in a bad mood, but he couldn't figure out why.
Could it be that Hao Hao doesn't want to see me? Or is it because I said I was happy to see her earlier, which made her feel abrupt?
Sheng Yi frowned and thought for a while, but in the end he gave up and chose to ask directly, because he was afraid that he might misunderstand Zhu Qinghao's thoughts and cause unnecessary misunderstandings.
So, he stopped after walking only a few steps.
"Okay? Why do you suddenly seem unhappy? Is it because you don't want to see me? Or did something I just said upset you?"
Zhu Qinghao sensed that the person beside her had stopped, so she didn't continue walking forward and turned to look at him.
The light of the setting sun shone from behind Zhu Qinghao, as if gilding her entire body, making her already outstanding appearance even more dazzling.
Sheng Yi was stunned for a moment, even forgetting why he had stopped, and only focused on admiring the beautiful scenery in front of him.
What he didn't know was that at that moment, he was also quite eye-catching in Zhu Qinghao's eyes.
Sheng Yisheng was tall and handsome. Zhu Qinghao thought he was good-looking the moment she saw him.
Now, after half a year apart, his originally fair skin has darkened slightly, but it doesn't affect his overall appearance at all; on the contrary, it adds a unique charm.
"Mom, look, what are the uncle and aunt doing?"
Before Zhu Qinghao and the other woman could react to the innocent child's voice, they heard an anxious female voice:
"Baby, don't talk nonsense! Besides, those are older brothers and sisters."
Zhu Qing looked over and saw a young woman bending down, leading a child towards them, probably heading home.
Upon meeting Zhu Qinghao's gaze, the young woman smiled apologetically:
"I'm sorry, comrade, the child doesn't understand..."
Zhu Qing looked at the two- or three-year-old child, then at Sheng Yi, and shook her head with a smile, indicating that she didn't care.
Then the child's voice asked again:
"Brother, are you and sister married? If you are married, can we call you uncle and aunt?"
Children's mouths are incredibly fast; by the time the young woman realized what was happening and tried to cover her son's mouth, he had already finished speaking.
Sheng Yi and Zhu Qinghao looked at each other, both unsure how to respond.
"Okay, let's go back, okay? Your older brother and sister have things to do, and it will be dark soon. If you delay any longer, they won't be able to finish their work."
I'm so sorry, comrades, I have to say...
