Often when two people are together, what they fear most is the sudden silence of the air. But at this time, what Gu Nianxi fears most is the silence of the air and being stared at by him.
She lowered her head and finished eating the Yangchun noodles, then picked up the bowl and walked towards the sink.
The silence between the two people made the air a little dull. Gu Nianxi heard Su Yuheng put down the water glass behind her, and guessed that he must be angry again.
"Why?"
Gu Nianxi didn't want to answer his questions. Some things didn't need to be said clearly. Saying them would make others lose face.
Su Yuheng walked up behind her and held her slender waist. He hugged her and whispered in her ear, "Nian Nian, stay with me and don't run away again..."
Gu Nianxi's heart was shocked and she couldn't believe what came out of his mouth.
"You, you are burned out. Let me pour you some more water."
Gu Nianxi wanted to escape from his arms, but was trapped in his arms. He turned her to face him. Gu Nianxi leaned on the island and lowered her head deeply.
"It's not me you need," she said.
"Then who do I need?"
The flustered expression betrayed Gu Nianxi. She didn't dare to raise her eyes to look at him, for fear that he would notice the disappointment in her eyes.
"You don't belong to me... and I don't belong to-ah!"
Before Gu Nianxi finished speaking, Su Yuheng held her slender waist and placed her on the island table. Her hand knocked the freshly washed dishes to the ground, and the crisp sound broke the tranquility of the night.
Su Yuheng held her in his arms, rubbing the tip of his nose against hers, and his warm palms pressed against her back, making her nervous mouth go dry.
"Then who do you belong to?" he asked in a low voice, his voice was low and full of temptation.
Gu Nianxi swallowed her saliva. In his arms, she looked like a cooked crab, all red. Her subtle changes were seen by Su Yuheng. He snickered in his heart and had some sinful thoughts. Gu Nianxi blushed.
Tide, white and translucent skin will look more attractive.
"Who do you belong to?"
He asked, waiting for her answer. If she dared to say that it didn't belong to him, he would make her remember the correct answer.
"I belong to myself."
"..."
Her answer surprised Su Yuheng. He looked at her quietly and saw tears in her eyes.
She cried, and his heart softened.
"I belong to myself." Gu Nianxi said firmly again, "I don't want to be a canary, I don't want to lose myself, I want to regain my independence and confidence, and I want to return to my original self."
Su Yuheng was silent. Her courageous words were more of a resistance to him than encouragement to him. He held up her cheek and looked at her seriously.
"Okay, you belong to yourself, but you belong to me..."
Gu Nianxi thought he would fulfill her wish, but she didn't expect that the second half of the sentence would still maintain Su Yuheng's unique style of being domineering and willful. She didn't want to quarrel with him when he was sick, so she jumped off the island and ran away from his arms.
"You can go upstairs and take a nap while I put away the dishes."
Just as Gu Nianxi was about to turn around, Su Yuheng grabbed her wrist and dragged her away.
"Don't forget you are here to take care of me."
"But the debris on the ground——"
"Think again about what you are here for?"
"..."
The next morning, Gu Nianxi felt the pain of being pulled on her scalp in her sleep. She opened her eyes and found that it was Su Yuheng's arm pressing her long hair. She gently moved his arm away, stood up and entered the bathroom.
In the past three days, under her constant care, Su Yuheng's condition has improved, and she is ready to go back to school.
Summer vacation was approaching and there were a lot of things going on at school. When Gu Nianxi asked for leave that day, she thought the professor would not agree. However, she did not expect that she casually mentioned the reason that the dog at home was sick, and the professor actually agreed! The kind-hearted professor also
Let her take good care of the dog before returning to school.
Seeing that the dog had recovered, it was time for her to retire.
Gu Nianxi chose clothes in the cloakroom for a long time, and finally chose a sky blue dress to wear.
This skirt was bought when she and Su Yuheng were on vacation in Saipan last year. She still remembered that when she bought this skirt, she secretly heard him telling the sales lady that my girlfriend looked best in blue.
Blue was originally Gu Nianxi's favorite color, but since she met Su Yuheng, she also liked white because the way Su Yuheng looked in a white shirt left a deep impression on her.
Looking at herself in the mirror, Gu Nianxi remembered her past appearance. At that time, like many girls, she liked to dress herself up and look glamorous. But after being with Su Yuheng, she never dressed up and deliberately chose her clothes.
Ordinary style, the reason why she is like this is because she is afraid that if others pay attention to her, her relationship with Su Yuheng will be discovered.
In fact, if they were a real couple, she would definitely not hide her.
Gu Nianxi walked out of the house, took a taxi and headed towards Zhouji Teahouse. She wanted to buy Su Yuheng his favorite seafood porridge before he woke up.
While sitting in the car, Gu Nianxi felt a little warm in her heart when she thought of the three days she and Su Yuheng had spent peacefully together.
It turns out they can stop quarreling.
As soon as Gu Nianxi walked away, Su Yuheng woke up. He looked at the empty space beside him. After being stunned for a few seconds, he grabbed the phone on the bedside table and pressed the number one button.
She actually ran away again!
Just when the call was about to be dialed, Su Yuheng caught a glimpse of the lace nightgown on the pillow, and he immediately hung up the phone.
Well, she didn't dare to run away.
Usually when Gu Nianxi leaves, she hangs her pajamas in the closet. If she puts her lace pajamas on the bed like this, she will probably come back.
Su Yuheng lay down peacefully and was about to sleep for a while when he heard the doorbell.
Ding dong——
The doorbell rang several times, and Su Yuheng reluctantly put on his nightgown and walked downstairs.
Did this idiot forget that the door lock has a fingerprint recognition function?
"When you get home, do you have to ask me, the patient, to come downstairs to pick you up in person? Did you lose your finger?"
Su Yuheng complained and opened the door to his house. Unexpectedly, the person standing at the door was not Gu Nianxi, but Zhao Ziti.
How did she know he lived here? What was she doing here?
Su Yuheng glanced at the open courtyard door behind Zhao Ziti, his expression suddenly changed, and a hint of displeasure hung on his face.
"I heard Susan said you were sick and came here to see you."
Zhao Ziti had a smile on her face, but she was actually in a very bad mood. She listened to what Su Yuheng said when he opened the door just now, word for word, especially the word "go home" that particularly concerned her.
It seemed that this was his and Gu Nianxi's love nest. She had the courage to visit today because she wanted to give Gu Nianxi a warning. As long as she, Zhao Ziti, was here, she would never want to live a carefree life here.
"Don't you invite me to come in and sit down?" Zhao Ziti said with a smile.
Su Yuheng didn't like guests at home, and he didn't like to reveal his home address to others. Even Jin Huaiqian rarely came to his home. He didn't believe what Zhao Ziti said. Susan had been with him for so many years, so he wouldn't be stupid enough to understand.
My own boss’s taboo.
In fact, Su Yuheng has more than one property in New York. He originally chose this property because it was closer to Gu Nianxi's school, and because it looked very much like the ideal home posted on Gu Nianxi's friends.
At the beginning, her circle of friends wrote:
——I hope that my future home will have a flower field in the front yard and a backyard full of wisteria flowers.
One time, Su Yuheng passed by this place by chance and was attracted by the fragrance of flowers in the courtyard. He asked the driver to stop and look at it for a long time. All he could think of was Gu Nianxi's illustration.
Later, he spent a lot of money to buy this building from the owner and left Gu Nianxi here. Unfortunately, she later preferred to stay close to the distance rather than live here. She did not buy into his sincere heart.
"Aheng?"
Su Yuheng stood at the door, blocking the door like a door god. He opened his mouth and was about to reject Zhao Ziti, but he heard what she said.
"I have something to tell you. I'll be leaving in ten minutes."
After hearing her promise to leave in ten minutes, Su Yuheng allowed her to enter the house.
"Come in." He turned around and walked in first, then looked up at the time.
"It's 7:12 now, and it will be 7:20 in ten minutes." Su Yuheng said to Zhao Ziti as he walked to the living room.
His words were really heartbreaking. The corners of Zhao Ziti's mouth twitched slightly, and her expression was even more ugly.
Is he afraid that she won't leave?
"Sit down." Su Yuheng asked Zhao Ziti to sit on the sofa, "I'll get you a bottle of water."
"Thanks."
After Su Yuheng went to the kitchen, Zhao Ziti got up from the sofa. She looked around and was very satisfied with the decoration style of the house. Su Yuheng has always had good taste. His style can be seen in all the details in the house, including the color of the leather sofa and the placement of objects.
The handicrafts placed on the shelves and the colors of the curtains were very similar to the rest room in his company, but the difference was that it was not difficult to find that some of the small details here were mixed with another person's preferences.
For example, the pink lisianthus on the side table in the living room, the aromatherapy essential oil on the side cabinet by the door, and the pair of women's slippers at the door.
Zhao Ziti looked at the budding bouquet, and the smile on her face gradually disappeared. Judging from the freshness of the flowers, they must have been planted just a few days ago.
She got up, walked to the door, took off her shoes, put on the women's slippers, and then a sly smile appeared on her face.
"Drink."
Su Yuheng's voice came, and Zhao Ziti looked back at him. Although she felt very uncomfortable, she still pretended to be elegant. She returned to the sofa and found Su Yuheng looking at the clock.
Strong jealousy surged into her heart, and it was difficult for her not to care about his coldness. She clutched the mineral water bottle tightly and placed it on the coffee table.
Su Yuheng sat opposite her, a little absent-minded. He had just entered the kitchen and saw that Gu Nianxi had tidied up the broken plates, but he had just discovered that there were some ceramic slag on the ground. He wanted to wait for Zhao Ziti to leave and quickly use them.
He vacuumed it, worrying that Gu Nianxi, who didn't like to wear shoes, might puncture his feet.
"What do you want from me?"
Zhao Ziti looked at him steadily, and was fascinated by his homely appearance. She was used to seeing him in suits and leather shoes, but this homely appearance turned out to be even more handsome.
It turns out that his nightgown is black, it turns out that there is a scar on his chest, and it turns out that his dark hair looks so fresh on his forehead.
"Don't you even have coffee?" Zhao Ziti said jokingly, trying to ease the awkward atmosphere. She tried hard to get closer to Su Yuheng, and moved her body towards his position, but she heard him say something coldly.
"Oh, it was all drunk."
"Her?" Zhao Ziti's heart dropped again when she heard Su Yuheng's understatement. She forced a smile and pretended to be calm and said, "I didn't expect you to be so warm."
Following Zhao Ziti's gaze, Su Yuheng looked at the vase, "She likes to play with these. This place is done according to her wishes. I don't care much."
"..."
At this moment, Zhao Ziti regretted coming to him today. She lowered her head unnaturally and looked at the slippers on her feet, wishing to tear Gu Nianxi into pieces.
Su Yuheng looked at the Platycodon flowers, with a faint smile on his lips.
Gu Nianxi would buy some flowers to decorate the house every time he stayed here. At first he didn't like them very much, but then he gradually got used to them. Every time he came back here, if he saw the flowers, he would know that she had been there. If he didn't see the flowers, he would know that she had been there.
Haven't been here for a long time.
"Are you feeling better?" Zhao Ziti raised her hand to touch his forehead, but saw Su Yuheng hiding back. His deliberate keeping of distance made her almost explode.
"Yeah." Su Yuheng replied casually, "What do you want to tell me?"
"With you dressed like this, I really don't know how to talk about work with you."
Su Yuheng lowered his head and looked at the nightgown on his body, stood up and said to Zhao Ziti, "I'll go upstairs and change clothes. You sit down for a while."
"Okay, I'll wait for you."
Su Yuheng walked upstairs, and Zhao Ziti followed behind.
