Ao Rui's driver finally sent Ruotong back to Ruotong's own apartment under Ruotong's instructions.
At 5:30 in the afternoon, she rushed to Gao's house. After pressing the doorbell, Gao Yize's bright smiling face poked out of the door. "Ruotong, you are here! Please come in and sit down."
"It smells so good. Did you really buy calla lilies?" Ruotong, who has a particularly good nose, came in from the door.
"You'll know when you come in and take a look." Gao Yize tempted her. He personally went to the flower market to carefully select the bouquet of calla lilies, just to make the beauty smile.
Ruotong walked into the living room and saw fresh calla lilies quietly inserted in a vase on the oval dining table. She ran over with a smile, picked up the flowers, put them to her nose to smell, and then took a look out of the flowers.
Zhang's smile was as sweet as a flower. "Wow, it smells so good."
Her charming smile made Gao Yize's heart throb strongly. He had an urge to go up and hug Ruotong and tell her that he had liked her for many years. If he hadn't mistaken his thoughts for her,
Thinking it was nostalgia, he would not have gone abroad four years ago, would not have left her, and would not have given Ao Rui a chance to get close to her.
However, maybe it was too late now. He couldn't be a bad man who ruined other people's feelings. He tried hard to control his inner impulse and asked her softly: "Do you like it?"
"I like it so much." Ruotong smiled happily.
His efforts were not without any reward. Gao Yize looked at Ruotong and felt that it was hard to breathe because her smile was so beautiful. If her smile four years ago was innocent and bright, then she can definitely use it four years later.
To describe it, it is overwhelming the country and the city.
During these four years in a foreign country, it was her smile that accompanied him through those lonely days and nights.
At this time, Ruotong smelled the burnt smell coming from the kitchen, and she said to Gao Yize, "The vegetables are burnt."
"You take a look around first." After saying this, Gao Yize hurried into the kitchen.
Ruotong looked around at the Gao family, who had not been in for many years. As Gao Yize said, the furnishings here were exactly the same as four years ago, but with new furniture, giving it a completely new feel.
After looking around, Ruotong walked into the kitchen. "Do you need help?" she asked.
"Help me take these dishes out, I've prepared the bowls and chopsticks." Gao Yize turned over the almost-cooking cauliflower in the pot and said to Ruotong through the oil smoke.
"You cook Chinese food?" Ruotong asked.
"This is China, so you should eat Chinese food." Gao Yize showed a warm and sunny smile.
Ruotong smiled slightly, then took out the dishes and chopsticks he had cooked. After everything was ready, Gao Yize's last dish was freshly baked, and he took off his apron and walked out of the kitchen.
After the two sat down at the dinner table, Ruotong looked at the delicious Chinese dishes one after another and extended his thumbs out to praise Gao Yize repeatedly. She first tasted her favorite tomato scrambled eggs.
"How is it?" Gao Yize looked at her expectantly and intently.
Ruotong swallowed the food in his mouth, and then said with a smile: "When I heard you say yesterday that you could cook many kinds of dishes, I was eager to try it. I didn't expect that you are indeed a versatile chef."
"When I was studying in college in Canada, I moved out of my home and lived alone outside. What could I do if I didn't learn how to cook?" Gao Yize said with a smile.
"Hey, a rich young man actually learns to be independent?" Ruotong teased him with a smile.
"Don't you, a rich young lady, also go outside and live alone?" Gao Yize was not to be outdone.
"The main reason why I moved out was to get rid of the annoying old woman at home." Ruotong corrected. If her mother were still alive, she would not move out alone even if she were killed. She missed her so much that she disappeared after many years.
, the feeling of home.
Gao Yize put a piece of beef into his bowl and smiled at Ruotong: "Her sharp-tongued personality has not changed at all." He didn't hate her sharp-tongued personality at all. On the contrary, he liked her very much.
"Who told that old woman not to make things easier for me? She's been ringing in my ears like a bell all day long. It's so annoying." Ruotong cursed unhappily.
"I don't like Jiang Zhufang either." Gao Yize said.
He doesn't like Jiang Zhufang not because of his friendship with Ruotong, but because Jiang Zhufang is too narrow-minded. Every time he goes to Long's house to play with Ruotong, she doesn't give him a good look.
She hates Ruotong, who was not her child, and also hates all the friends who associate with Ruotong.
Ruotong put another piece of chicken fillet into his rice bowl, and then said: "Let's not mention that annoying old woman, so as not to ruin our good mood of eating."
"Okay, let's not mention her." Gao Yize smiled warmly at Ruotong.
"Eat." Ruotong also smiled sweetly at him.
Then the two of them began to eat with gusto. Gao Yize was solely responsible for all the cleaning up after the meal, while Ruotong was happy to make tea on the side.
After washing the dishes and tidying up the kitchen, Gao Yize walked out of the kitchen and sat down next to Ruotong, who was making tea at the coffee table.
Smelling the aroma of tea, Gao Yize said to Ruotong with a smile, "I haven't seen you for four years, and you have learned how to make tea."
"Others taught me." Ruotong simply replied. She followed Zhu Surong's example and used the first tea to rinse the cup, then poured boiling water into the tea leaves, and finally poured the brewed tea into a small
In a purple sand tea cup.
Gao Yize picked up the teacup, put it to his nose, sniffed it, and sighed with satisfaction. "It smells good."
Ruotong also picked up the cup and took a sip, then asked: "Did you prepare these tea sets and tea leaves?"
"I didn't prepare it, it was given to me by a customer. It is said that this set of purple clay tea sets and tea leaves were bought at a high price at an auction in Yunnan." Gao Yize answered truthfully, and then drank all the tea in the cup.
Ruotong filled his empty teacup with another full cup of tea.
There would be no chance to ask her such a question.
Thinking of Ao Rui, a corner of Ruotong's heart seemed to be touched by someone. She was immersed in everything she had spent with Ao Rui last night, with a focused expression, as if she was obsessed.
She missed him so much. When she was with him, she missed him unbridled; when she couldn't see him, she missed him crazily.
Seeing her intoxicated look, all the warm smile on Gao Yize's face disappeared, and there were only soft waves of pain and deep regret in his eyes. After a while, he found his lost voice. "Look at you,
You guys seemed to have a great time last night." This was the fact he least wanted to admit.
"What?" Ruotong quickly recovered his lost thoughts.
Gao Yize's face was shrouded in deep sadness, like the desolation of the sunset. It turns out that when he loves someone, he can never learn to bless her with other men.
"Yize, it's time for you to fall in love. You said you haven't had a girlfriend in Canada for four years. Now is the time. After studying, your career is on the right track. I believe there will be many women who like you.
"Yes." Ruotong smiled and gave Gao Yize suggestions.
"No..." Gao Yize told her painfully and firmly. "I already have someone in my heart, and I can no longer tolerate other women."
"Who is it?" Ruotong asked curiously. This boy is so uninteresting that he even has a crush and doesn't share it with her.
The saddest thing in the world is that I stand in front of you, but you don't know that I love you. Gao Yize stared at Ruotong, the pain was like dense threads, and it took him a while to find his voice.
"One day, you will know."
Although Ruotong is smart, she can't understand why Gao Yize is so sad. Because the two have been best friends since childhood, no one would think of that.
"Why are you so mysterious?" she mocked.
It's not a mystery, but maybe, there will never be a chance to say it out again. At the thought of this, all the sensations in Gao Yize's heart disappeared, leaving only the pain that magnified infinitely in the small atrium, suppressing all the nerves. In addition to the pain, it was still...
Pain...
For the first time in his life, he finally tasted pain.
Ruotong always felt that Gao Yize's return this time gave her a very different feeling. Compared with the sunny and cheerful four years ago, Gao Yize now looks much more reserved and deep. Those eyes always look lonely and unhappy. As a person grows up,
Has his mood begun to change, or has he experienced something profound in the past four years that has drastically changed his temperament?
Oh, she missed him so much four years ago.
Looking at the wall clock, he found that it read seven o'clock sharp. Then, Ruotong said goodbye to Gao Yize. "Yize, I'm sorry, I have to go back."
"It's so early..." Gao Yize subconsciously wanted to keep her, just for a little longer, but that was all he wanted.
"But, I really have something to do." Ruotong explained. If she guessed correctly, Ao Rui would definitely go back to the villa in Pudong tonight.
Helpless, Gao Yize could only respect her choice. "I'll drive you back."
"Okay." Ruotong agreed. Anyway, she had to go back to the apartment and put on the standard mistress attire.
After sending Ruotong back to her apartment downstairs, Gao Yize made a request to her: "Ruotong, I want to see where you live."
"I'm sorry, Yize, I have something to do tonight. Can I invite you here another day?" Ruotong had no choice but to compromise.
Gao Yize was a little disappointed, but he could only compromise. "Okay, remember what you said, I will definitely visit you another day."
"Absolutely." Ruotong smiled and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Then, Gao Yize drove the car away and Ruotong hurriedly ran up to the second floor. Su Muyu was watching TV. As soon as he saw her coming back, he turned off the TV and followed her into the room. While putting on makeup, she told Su Muyu this
What happened with Ao Rui in the past few days.
"It's difficult for a hero to pass the beauty test. It seems that you are in sight of victory." Su Muyu was truly happy for Ruotong.
"The problem now is that I have to go back and deal with him right away. Oh no, I'm late again." Ruotong finished speaking and hurried out of the room.
In order to save time, she stopped a taxi on the roadside and hurried to her villa in Pudong.
