Met You in the Most Beautiful Year [195] Follow Yu Zhongxiao to join friends
The phone rang once and the call was answered.
Almost instantly, Ye Hehuan's originally swaying heart fell firmly to the ground, and her troubles disappeared. She preemptively said, "It's me."
Yu Zhongxiao replied: "I know."
Ye Hehuan didn't answer in a hurry, and then heard him ask himself, Yu Zhongxiao's deep voice was full of warmth: "What are you doing?"
"..."
This seems to be her line.
Unconsciously, Ye Hehuan found that she seemed to have lost the initiative again. She hugged her bent legs tightly, rested her chin on her knees, and asked without answering: "What about you? Where are you now?"
When Yu Zhongxiao heard her slightly petty question, he was not displeased at all, but just indulgent. His voice became clearer on the phone: "You are chatting with some old friends. Have you taken a nap?"
Ye Hehuan hummed unconsciously, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.
He raised his hand and touched the diamond ring hanging around his neck.
She suddenly heard someone calling Yu Zhongxiao on the other side of the phone. She stopped pestering him to waste the phone bill, "Go and do your work."
"Hehuan."
Before he was about to hang up the phone, Yu Zhongxiao called her name in a low voice.
Ye Hehuan felt unspeakably awkward because he was not used to him calling her that, "What are you doing?"
"I may not be able to have dinner with you tonight." Yu Zhongxiao paused and added: "It's better to go back to Qinghe Garden to sleep."
Ye Hehuan's cheeks were slightly hot because of the word 'sleep', and he asked in an unnatural tone: "Then who are you eating with?"
"Friend, I haven't seen you for a long time, so——"
As he spoke, he suddenly stopped talking.
Just as Ye Hehuan was about to ask what was going on, she heard Yu Zhongxiao's magnetic voice reach her ears through radio waves: "Do you want to come together?"
"..." Ye Hehuan held the phone, a little cautious, but he had some scruples.
"If that's okay, I'll pick you up later."
"No need -" Ye Hehuan refused a little quickly. After saying these two words, she found that she was speechless and could only find words in her brain, "Go on your own, and drive carefully."
"Any other plans for the evening?"
"……without."
Yu Zhongxiao said: "Then I will pick you up at the family home at six o'clock."
Ye Hehuan's toes curled up on the edge of the chair, which was a sign of her tangled mood. She said in a low voice: "Forget it, go ahead."
Yu Zhongxiao seemed to know her concerns. His voice was calm and casual: "They are all old acquaintances. You haven't seen them before. Don't worry about anything. Jiang Hui should also be there by then."
His meaning was obvious. If she was afraid of being bored, she could keep Jiang Hui company.
Ye Hehuan began to waver again.
"That's it, I'll call you when I get there."
Before Ye Hehuan could speak, Yu Zhongxiao had already finished his words: "Get ready first. If you need anything, call my cell phone."
——
After making this call, Ye Hehuan realized that she was being manipulated like a puppet. She wanted to tell Yu Zhongxiao that she was not going, but she did not press the call button for a long time.
Because she couldn't deny the true thoughts in her heart.
Ye Hehuan really wanted to try to understand Yu Zhongxiao's life circle, but she was afraid that she would cause unnecessary trouble.
I couldn't help but send a text message asking Qin Shousheng.
In less than a minute, Qin Shousheng returned——
[How do they, who are born in the 1970s, know us who are born in the late 80s? Don’t mess around. Just tell yourself when the time comes. 】
Ye Hehuan had just finished reading the text message when another one came in - [Also, people of their generation are more ideological... Anyway, don't dress too much. In short, (づ￣3￣)づSister, please go forward boldly
Wow, move forward and don’t look back!】
Finally, Ye Hehuan's eyes were fixed on the four words "dress".
She turned to look in the mirror on the desk.
The woman in the small mirror had dyed chestnut curly hair. Ye Hehuan looked down at the hot pants and vest.
It seems that someone once told her that soldiers prefer quiet beauties with flowing black hair. Ye Hehuan can't remember who said this. She may have heard it when the orderlies were chatting in the yard, or she might have heard it when her grandpa went to visit her during the New Year.
Over dinner at home, several elders of the opposite sex in the military gave advice on how to choose a girlfriend for the younger generation.
But one thing is certain, the other party is a genuine officer.
Ye Hehuan then thought about Yu Zhongxiao's friends. Most of them should be soldiers, or at the worst, policemen.
She looked at the time, it was already a quarter past four in the afternoon.
Ye Hehuan bit his lip and hesitated for about a minute, then got up and went to the wardrobe, quickly picked out an embroidered half-open short-sleeved white shirt, and denim trousers underneath, covering himself tightly, and changed
Good clothes, she randomly picked an inconspicuous handbag and put her wallet, ID bag, and other bits and pieces in it.
Before opening the door and going out, she thought that she had smoked just now and ran to the bathroom to brush her teeth.
Aunt Fan happened to be cleaning up on the second floor. Seeing Ye Hehuan's anxious look, she also noticed the bag placed beside the washstand: "Miss, do you want to go out?"
"Well." Ye Hehuan said slurredly with his mouth full of toothpaste foam, "I won't come back for dinner..."
As she spoke, she poured water into her mouth to rinse her mouth.
After vomiting it up, I asked Aunt Fan: "Does this suit me if I go out to a dinner party?"
Aunt Fan looked at it carefully and nodded: "It's quite decent."
Ye Hehuan immediately beamed, went over and hugged Aunt Fan, then wiped his mouth and prepared to go downstairs.
Seeing her happy mood, Aunt Fan remembered one thing. If she didn't say it now, she would worry about Ye Hehuan not being able to miss her home later. She had no choice but to remind Ye Hehuan when he took the handbag: "Miss, it will be two days later."
It’s my wife’s death anniversary.”
Sure enough, the smile on Ye Hehuan's face faded a little.
"The things for worship have been bought. The chairman has brought them there in the past few years. The eldest lady is back now. Then she can go with the chairman -"
"If I want to worship, I will go there myself."
Ye Hehuan interrupted Aunt Fan. She pursed her lips and looked slightly disapproving: "Whatever happened in the past few years, it will be the same this year, don't worry about me."
After speaking, Ye Hehuan walked out of the bathroom with his bag and went downstairs.
——
When Ye Hehuan received a call from Yu Zhongxiao, the hair-washing girl had just washed her hair, and Yu Zhongxiao had already arrived near the west side gate of the compound, allowing her to go out.
"Just wait for me, I'll be there right away."
Yu Zhongxiao heard the noise from her side: "Why is it so noisy at home?"
Ye Hehuan gave a random excuse. After hanging up the phone, she took off the towel wrapping her wet hair and urged the hair-washing girl to blow-dry her hair.
…
The hair salon was not far from the military compound. Ye Hehuan turned a corner and the SUV parked in a remote place appeared in front of her.
Yu Zhongxiao didn't get out of the car.
He was sitting on the driver's seat, his left arm resting on the edge of the window, his shirt cuffs rolled up to his elbows. Ye Hehuan looked over from behind and vaguely saw faint white smoke floating out of the window. There seemed to be people in the car.
In response, when she approached, he turned his head and looked deeply into the reflector.
When he saw Ye Hehuan, Yu Zhongxiao was stunned and even made a smoking motion.
She had already walked to the car, raised her hand and knocked on the car door.
Ye Hehuan looked at the cigarette he held between his fingers, with a disgusted expression on his face: "Smoking in the car is full of cigarette smoke, and it kills people."
As soon as she finished speaking, all the windows were lowered, and even the sunroof of the car was opened.
Yu Zhongxiao put out the cigarette butt on the cigarette case.
Ye Hehuan held the handbag with both hands and curled his lips slightly. Yu Zhongxiao's eyes came out of the car, looking at her black hair falling smoothly on her shoulders and her 'formal dress'.
A faint smile appeared in his eyes.
Seeing the faint smile on Yu Zhongxiao's face, Ye Hehuan felt a little hot on his face, and at the same time he couldn't move his eyes away from staring at him.
Yu Zhongxiao's face, maybe because he has been tense all year round, suddenly smiled like this, and there was something indescribable about it.
Calm, yet charming.
It has nothing to do with appearance, it is the unique charm of a mature man.
After getting in the car, Ye Hehuan was about to pull up the seat belt, but her hand suddenly grasped it. The dry warmth made her feel a little shy. Yu Zhongxiao's low-pitched voice sounded in her ear: "Why aren't you wearing the ring?"
"It's too eye-catching." Ye Hehuan calmly withdrew his hand.
As if by accident, she took out a necklace from her clothes and the diamond ring hung on it.
Yu Zhongxiao glanced at the ring. He sat upright and started the car. When the car entered the driveway, his right hand left the steering wheel and reached over to hold her little hand.
——
When the car drove into the community, Ye Hehuan realized that the place for the dinner was not at a restaurant, but at the home of a friend of Yu Zhongxiao.
Just as the car parked, Yu Zhongxiao's cell phone happened to ring.
Ye Hehuan turned to look at him.
Yu Zhongxiao had already picked it up. When he heard the urging from the other side, he unbuckled his seat belt and said, "We're here, get in right away."
