Tong Mai's fingertips gently brushed Huo Yize's QQ profile picture on the screen. It seemed that a slight touch could bring out the overwhelming longing in her body.
Clear images were rolling before her eyes. It was as if she could clearly see Huo Yize anxiously waiting for her in front of the computer screen...
He would habitually frown, frown tightly, and have a serious face. He would even call her when he couldn't wait any longer.
Sure enough, a moment later, it was Huo Yize's overseas call.
Tong Mai looked at his caller ID, and the corners of her lips could not help but curl into a faint smile. By now, she really understood him very well, and could accurately guess what he would do in the next second.
"Pressed" and the phone went off. QQ came online.
Just be lonely: Brother Zhengzhi, you are too impatient.
Tong Mai couldn't help teasing him. She was also trying to ease the endless longing between them due to the long distance at this moment. It was clear that the words were not sad. But Tong Mai didn't know why now she was staring at the words running across the screen. Her chest Pain.
Huo Yize seemed to be as expected by Tong Mai. Chatting was not his thing. Besides, he was naturally orderly and deadly serious.
After a while, I sent a video...
Tong Mai was a little hesitant. Although the video couldn't tell what was wrong with her legs, her face looked very bad. At least now, she looked a little weak and slightly pale. There was even an illusion. It seemed like her body couldn't hold on any longer.
She finally pressed the "accept" button. Huo Yize was dressed neatly on the other end of the video. It was still the white shirt he liked...
The moment the video screen was revealed, Huo Yize stared at the screen extremely seriously, as if he was doing some delicate work.
"What are you looking at? Xiaosha went to sister Fen's house to play. I am the only one at home." She said deliberately. How could she not know what he was looking at...
Huo Yize's gaze became more and more intense. "You didn't sleep at night, okay? Your eyes are dark. You look very tired."
She definitely didn't sleep well without him by her side.
But since he was indispensable without her, why did he make his own decisions? He even secretly asked Sam to send her back.
If it weren't for the doctor's result, and it was a critical moment, Paul's situation was under control. He was just waiting for him to hand over the method to save Tong Mai. Huo Yize could still let him go. But he didn't expect that Paul wouldn't be able to do it either. People who give in easily will not compromise casually.
In fact, he guessed it right. Without him, she couldn't sleep well at night. She almost tossed and turned in bed. Suddenly, she didn't have the familiar and warm embrace. She was so uncomfortable.
As for him, does he feel the same as her?
But Tong Mai's answer was, "It's normal to have dark circles under the eyes. I'm a mother of several children. You think I'm still young."
Speaking of youth, Tong Mai changed the topic again. "I only have dark circles now. If I get older, I will have freckles and age spots. My skin will be rough and ugly. By then, you will definitely hate it to death."
"No matter what you become, I still love you."
He is not a superficial person. Once he falls in love, he will not change his mind because of whether he is beautiful or not.
A few short words. There were no unnecessary rhetoric, but they were the most sincere. And she looked at Tong Mai's face and sensitively noticed something was wrong with her. "I had nightmares again at night." Otherwise, he would not be able to be well. Explain clearly where the paleness on Tong Mai's face comes from.
"I sleep better without you by my side. You say it's strange. I think... it's probably because my horoscopes don't match yours."
Their conversation seemed very serious, especially Huo Yize's too serious face at the moment. Tong Mai felt like he was being seen through. He pretended to be sleepy and yawned again and again. "You keep staring at me. Enough. I'm going to sleep. .Otherwise you will think that I have dark circles under my eyes again. Let’s talk tomorrow.”
Tong Mai didn't want to continue video chatting with him. She had never video chatted with anyone else. Although she and Huo Yize were so familiar with each other that they could no longer be familiar with each other, she was a little uncomfortable with meeting each other through a computer screen...
At this moment, Tong Xiaosha and Xia Niuniu knocked on the door. "Mom... open the door. Open the door. Aunt Mai. Open the door..."
The two little devils were singing and beating in harmony, as if they were trying to tear down the door.
"Oh. Here it comes. Wait a moment."
I don’t know whether he was frightened by the sudden door knock or whether Tong Mai felt guilty. He was panicked for a moment. “I won’t tell you anymore. Xiaosha is shouting at the door. I turned off the video.”
Tong Mai was too eager to open the door. He pushed the wheelchair without even pressing the mouse button...
At this end, Huo Yize could see the scene clearly. She was actually sitting in a wheelchair...
Huo Yize was dumbfounded at this scene. His heart seemed to stop beating in an instant. It turned out that she went back because of her legs. It turned out that she asked herself to be carried on her back that day. It was not acting coquettishly. At that time, she could no longer move well. .
She actually hid this from him.
Whether it was because she cared too much about him, because she was afraid that he would worry so she didn't tell him, or for other reasons, Huo Yize could not easily forgive her at this time.
However, it was rare that he didn't call her immediately to question her. Instead, he quickly returned to the country without having time to think about it...
He originally planned to take Lin Meili back to China with him, but because he was too anxious to go back, he had no choice but to let Ah go in and take Lin Meili back.
Lin Meili became even more taciturn during the days she was imprisoned by Qiao Ran. Although Qiao Ran was good, she was always empty in her heart. Without Jiang Chengyi, her life would be so bleak...
"Beautiful. What do you want to eat tonight? Mother Qiao will cook for you personally." Mother Qiao is a pure optimist. She walks around Lin Meili all day long. The more she looks at this future daughter-in-law, the more she likes her. Moreover, the sadness that was revealed all over her body when she was quiet was very pitiful.
Mother Qiao could easily detect that Lin Meili was a person with a story. Sure enough, after getting to know Qiao Ran a little bit, she finally understood what happened between Lin Meili and Jiang Chengyi...
Not only did Qiao's mother not dislike Lin Meili, but she pampered her even more. As for cooking the food herself... even Mo Xin'er had never enjoyed such excellent treatment.
So, at this time, Mo Xin'er decisively jumped out and complained. "Mom, you are partial. I am also your wife and I am pregnant with your grandson. How can you only cook for the second daughter-in-law? You are partial."
Mo Xiner hummed repeatedly. There was a childish, mischievous and jealous look on her face. Even though her expression looked quite resentful, there was no trace of hostility.
"Oh, my good wife, aren't I going to cook for you? Just stop yelling and tell me what you want to eat. Tell me what you want to eat so that I can prepare the ingredients for you in advance." Mother Qiao and her daughter-in-law The words between them are not at all alienating between the elders and the younger ones. They are more like close friends.
Lin Meili once again had to be impressed by the way the Qiao family got along with each other. Frankly speaking, everyone in the Qiao family, except Qiao Ran, seemed to treat her well...
But since Qiao Ran can't help Tong Mai, what's the point of her staying here? Maybe her family will think that she is staying here and won't leave.
Mo Xin'er felt relieved after hearing this. "Mom, this is what you are doing. I want to eat braised eggs, stir-fried pork with hot peppers, sweet and sour pork ribs, golden cheese balls, and... crispy pancakes as a meal... …”
Mo Xin'er ordered the dishes without any politeness at all. She completely regarded Mama Qiao as a god-like chef who could cook all kinds of delicacies in the world.
As she said this, Mo Xin'er's mouth watered instantly...
"Little Greedy Cat, Mom has written it all down. Don't worry, you won't miss anyone." Mother Qiao didn't care about Mo Xin'er's "making things difficult". On the contrary, she enjoyed it.
"Beautiful. What about you? What do you want to eat?"
Mother Qiao still took the trouble to ask Lin Meili.
Lin Meili out of respect for her elders. Even if she doesn't want to stay here anymore, she must at least give face to Qiao's mother. "Mrs. Qiao, thank you for your kindness. I appreciate it. I just want to go home now."
Even though saying this would spoil Mrs. Qiao's good mood, Lin Meili had to say it.
She could just leave here while Qiao Ran was not at home today. As soon as Lin Meili mentioned leaving, Mo Xiner immediately stopped her. "Meili, let me tell you. If you go home, you and Qiao Ran will be together in the future." The chance of getting together is zero. Even though my mother and I are very optimistic about you, my father-in-law is back. That would be a big deal. In his eyes, Gu Rongyan is the only woman Qiao Ran wants to marry. What my father-in-law said does not matter. People can disobey, including Qiao Ran. Our whole family must listen to him. This is what he does at home."
Mo Xiner gave her thumbs up and said proudly.
Lin Meili has never met Dad Qiao, and she has no interest in meeting Dad Qiao.
When Mo Xiner talked about Gu Rongyan, Lin Meili disagreed. Who Qiao Ran married was none of her business. She even hoped that Qiao Ran could find a woman quickly...
"Fortunately, I was born pretty and cute. My father-in-law thought I was a good person at a glance, so he didn't make it difficult for me to get in. Otherwise, I don't know how much hardship I have to endure to be with my dear." Mo Xin'er's words made Qiao's mother She almost couldn't help laughing. She suppressed laughter. "Come on. Stop being so beautiful. Don't listen to her nonsense. Father Qiao is not as scary as Xiner said, although he does like Gu Rong. Yan also decided to get engaged to Qiao Ran and Gu Rongyan. But Qiao’s mother is optimistic about you. You must be the daughter-in-law of the Qiao family who cannot escape. Although our Qiao Ran is sometimes a bit evil and cold, but his She has a good heart. Especially for you. Mother Qiao can see that she is very considerate. So, you, just stay here peacefully. Don't think about leaving. Or if you want to go out for a walk, let Qiao Ran Taking you for a drive or a walk can also enhance the relationship between the two of you. It doesn’t matter if two people don’t have feelings for each other at the beginning. As they gradually get in touch, they will.”
