Bai Lu did not return to the private room, but stood in a corner with red eyes in deep thought. After a long time, her mood calmed down.
Bai Lu returned to the private room. By this time, everyone had almost eaten and was ready to leave.
When Bai Lu followed her colleagues out of the restaurant, Bai Lu couldn't help but look at where He Ziyu was before. There was no one there anymore.
After leaving the restaurant, Bai Lu greeted her colleagues and took a taxi home.
On the way home, Bai Lu was absent-minded and felt uncomfortable. Finally, she couldn't help but took out her mobile phone and dialed He Ziyu's number.
"Hello, Lu'er." He Ziyu answered the phone quickly.
Bai Lu listened to He Ziyu's clear voice and said nothing.
"Lu'er, are you there?" He Ziyu asked again without hearing the answer.
Bai Lu then replied, "Yeah."
"Call me if you have anything wrong?" He Ziyu asked.
Bai Lu collected her emotions and asked, "You, where are you now?"
"I... am on my way home." He Ziyu paused and replied. He would take Zhan Yi home now, and then return to his own home, which would be considered on his way home.
"Alone?" Bai Lu asked deliberately.
Hearing Bai Lu's words, He Ziyu glanced at Zhan Yi in the passenger seat next to him, and wanted to tell the truth, but he was afraid that if he couldn't explain it clearly, there would be a misunderstanding.
So, He Ziyu replied, "Well, I'm alone."
He Ziyu thought that since Bai Lu didn't know that he was eating with Zhan Yi, he might as well say that he was alone, and when he saw her next time, he would truthfully explain what happened today in front of her.
Bai Lu didn't believe it in her heart. He had been eating with that woman just now. Didn't he send that woman home? Or did they go do other things?
On a night like this, the timing couldn't be better for him and that woman, right?
"Are you sure?" Bai Lu asked again.
"..." He Ziyu was a little confused, and then he vaguely noticed that Bai Lu's tone was wrong, and asked doubtfully, "Lu'er, what's wrong with you?"
Bai Lu didn't hear He Ziyu's answer, and didn't intend to answer He Ziyu's words, so she hung up the phone directly.
On the other side, when He Ziyu heard the busy signal on the phone, He Ziyu suddenly panicked, hurriedly put the phone aside, held the steering wheel with both hands, and parked the car on the side of the road.
"What's wrong?" Zhan Yi, who was in the passenger seat, didn't know what was going on and looked at He Ziyu in surprise.
He Ziyu ignored Zhan Yi at all. After picking up the phone again, he dialed Bai Lu's number, but the other party hung up after not ringing twice.
He Ziyu refused to give up and continued to call, but Bai Lu on the other end kept hanging up and finally turned off her phone.
He Ziyu was so angry that he wanted to throw his phone.
She was sure that Bai Lu didn't know about her dinner with Zhan Yi, because it was a temporary decision and she hadn't told anyone, so it was impossible for Bai Lu to know.
But there was something wrong with that woman's behavior at all. Did something happen to her...?
Thinking of this, He Ziyu suddenly felt terribly worried and wanted to go find her, but he had to take into account the situation in front of him.
"I'll take you home first." He Ziyu said this to Zhan Yi.
After saying that, he immediately started the car and continued moving forward, but this time the speed was very fast.
Zhan Yi was unclear about the situation. Because He Ziyu was driving at a high speed, he had to become nervous and hold his seat belt with both hands.
He Ziyu dropped Zhan Yi at the door of his house. After Zhan Yi got off the car, He Ziyu drove away immediately.
"Ziyu, then..." Zhan Yiben wanted to say see you tomorrow, but before he could finish his words, he saw that He Ziyu's car had already left.
Zhan Yi was disappointed and could only look at the shadow of He Ziyu's car and get sulky.
On the way to Bai Lu's house, He Ziyu kept calling Bai Lu, but couldn't get through. yyls
When he arrived at the gate of Bai Lu's community, He Ziyu parked the car and kept calling Bai Lu, but he couldn't get through.
Just like that, He Ziyu didn't plan to leave. He waited for a while and continued to call. If he couldn't get through, he waited for a while and continued to call. This lasted until about 12 o'clock in the morning. He Ziyu still couldn't contact Bai Lu.
Seeing that the gate of the community had long been closed, and although the lights in the security room were on, there were far fewer residents entering and exiting from the small door, He Ziyu felt helpless, and finally drove away reluctantly and went home.
…
The next morning, He Ziyu got up at around six o'clock, washed up in a hurry, and was ready to go out.
"Ziyu, don't you want to have breakfast?" Mu Yiyi asked her son when he saw him changing his shoes at the entrance.
"No, I'm in a hurry." He Ziyu answered his mother.
"No matter how urgent it is, it won't take a while, right? You can have breakfast." Mu Yiyi persuaded.
"No, Mom, I'm leaving first," He Ziyu said, looking around, but saw no trace of his father, and then said to his mother, "Tell my dad."
"Hey, okay."
After He Ziyu left home, he hurriedly drove to Bai Lu's school.
…
On the other side, Bai Lu was sitting with her parents eating together. Bai's mother didn't notice it at first. When she noticed that her daughter's eyes were swollen, Bai's mother asked in surprise, "Lulu, did you stay up late last night? Why are your eyes like that?"
swell?"
Hearing what her mother said, Bai Lu hurriedly lowered her head, not wanting her mother to see her again, and then replied, "Well, it's too late to read a book."
For example, the reason for staying up late is better than the reason for crying all night, so I don't intend to explain and tell the truth.
"Then it won't be swollen like this. Are you crying?" Bai's father asked now.
I occasionally stay up late, and at most I have black eye sockets, but my daughter's eyes are obviously swollen.
"No, I, why should I cry?" Bai Lu was brave and refused to admit it.
Bai's father and Bai's mother looked at each other and couldn't think of a reason, so they said nothing more.
Bai Lu had no appetite to eat. This was noticed by her parents, and she lost her appetite even more. "Dad, Mom, you guys eat. I'm going to change clothes. I have to go to work later."
After Bai Lu finished speaking, she put down her chopsticks, got up and went back to her room.
Sitting in front of the dressing table, looking at her bloated eyes, and thinking about the scene of He Ziyu and that woman together last night, Bai Lu wanted to cry again, but she kept telling herself in her heart that she couldn't cry, she couldn't cry.
Bai Lu held it back and didn't cry. Then she started putting on makeup and modified the bloated areas around her eyes so that they didn't look so obvious.
When Bai Lu arrived at the school gate, it was already half an hour later. Bai Lu took a taxi to work. As soon as she got off the bus, she saw a person walking not far away.
When Bai Lu looked over, she saw He Ziyu's eager steps, and his car was parked on the roadside not far away.
"Lu'er," He Ziyu couldn't wait for a long time. He rushed forward and stood in front of Bai Lu. He stretched out his hand to take Bai Lu's hand and held it tightly. Then he looked at Bai Lu and said seriously, "
