The family went to the rest area to rest. He Zikai wanted to buy some food, let Nuoer and the children eat some first, and then after playing all the rides, the family went to have a big meal.
But Cheng Nuo didn't want the children to eat snacks. He thought they were junk food, so he said to He Zikai, "Akai, just buy a few bottles of water. Why don't you buy some whole wheat bread? Don't buy other snacks.
Let the children eat something to satisfy their stomachs first."
He Zikai understood Nuo'er's thoughts and nodded, indicating that he listened to Nuo'er's wishes.
Cheng Nuo saw He Zikai going to a nearby shopping kiosk to buy things, and he was sitting next to the children to accompany them.
Suddenly, the mobile phone in Cheng Nuo's bag rang.
"Mommy, phone, answer the phone quickly." He Xiaoxi reminded her mother.
"Yeah." After Cheng Nuo answered his daughter, he hurriedly opened his bag and took out his phone.
Cheng Nuo was a little confused when he saw the caller displayed on the screen was Jiayi.
Jiayi and Ouyang have been abroad recently. They don't know if they are working or playing every day. However, Jiayi is calling now...
Cheng Nuo couldn't guess it, so he had to answer the phone quickly.
"Hello, Jiayi." Cheng Nuo said into the phone after answering the call.
"Yes, Auntie." He Jiayi's voice came over.
With just three words, Cheng Nuo heard something was wrong with He Jiayi's voice. He was startled and immediately asked, "Jiayi, you... what's wrong with you?"
Jiayi's voice was obviously choked, as if she had just cried.
Is she over there? What happened?
"No, it's okay," He Jiayi said hurriedly, and then added, "I just miss you and my uncle, and Xiaomei, so I called you and wanted to talk to you."
After listening to He Jiayi's words, Cheng Nuo could understand that she was in a bad mood, missed her family, and wanted to talk to them.
"Well, I'm not busy now, let's chat." Cheng Nuo replied. Because of worry, he wanted to ask Jiayi what happened, but he was worried that if he asked again, Jiayi still refused to say, which would make Jiayi even more sad.
, let alone talk to myself about what’s on my mind.
"Well, Auntie, how are you and your uncle doing recently? How are Xiaomei and the others studying recently? Are they naughty?" He Jiayi's voice came again.
"Well, we are all pretty good. Ah Kai usually goes to work, and I stay at home when I have nothing to do. Xiao Mei and Li Chen Xiao Xi are both very well-behaved..."
Cheng Nuo chatted with He Jiayi. Gradually, he felt that Jiayi's tone was better, and her mood seemed not as sad as when she heard it at first. She felt less worried, but she was still worried that something had happened to her.
?
"Jiayi," Cheng Nuo couldn't hold it back and asked softly, "Did something happen to you over there? If anything happens, just tell me. Although I am your aunt, I am also yours.
Good sister, as you said, our relationship is closer than others, so you can’t hide anything from me.”
Cheng Nuo tried his best to use a calm tone, hoping that Jiayi would open up and chat with him, and tell him all the sad things in her heart, or the grievances she felt.
Only in this way can I know what happened to her over there and how to help her?
"Aunt, it's really okay. I might have been in a bad mood just now because I've been here for a long time and I miss home, you and your uncle, your children, and your grandparents," He Jiayi said.
Cheng Nuo believed this reason in her heart, but some speculations in her mind suggested that her sad voice just now had something to do with missing her, but it was not at all because of missing her.
Because I know this girl Jiayi, she has stayed abroad for so long. It is certain that she misses her family, but she will not miss her to the point of being sad and crying, unless...
The reason that Cheng Nuo can think of at this moment is that Jiayi's mood is probably related to Ouyang. After all, they are husband and wife and they are together, so the person who can directly affect Jiayi's mood is Ouyang.
But Jiayi was unwilling to do anything. If she pressed him again, she would only scare Jiayi.
He Jiayi on the other end of the phone had not heard her aunt's words for a long time, and she was worried that she would show any bad emotions and let her aunt guess something, so she hurriedly said, "Aunt, I have some things to do here, so I may not be able to talk to you.
If you talk too much, I’ll call you and talk to you another day.”
Cheng Nuo was brought back from his thoughts. After hearing Jiayi's words, he could only respond, "Well, okay, you must take care of yourself over there. If you need anything, remember to call me. Your uncle and I will
I'm thinking about you."
"Well, I know, Auntie." He Jiayi said.
After that, the two briefly said a few words and hung up the phone.
Cheng Nuo held the phone in his hand but did not put it into his bag.
Next to him, He Lichen and He Xiaoxi both saw Mommy like this. They looked at each other and then looked at Mommy.
"Mommy, what's wrong with you?" He Lichen asked Mommy obediently.
After Cheng Nuo heard his son's words, he quickly put his thoughts back, looked at his son and little daughter, shook his head and said, "It's okay, Mommy is okay."
At this moment, He Zikai also came over and noticed at a glance that something was wrong with Nuo'er's mood.
"What's wrong?" When He Zikai asked, he was already sitting on the stool next to the little woman.
Cheng Nuo did not answer He Zikai immediately, but took the shopping bag from He Zikai's hand, handed the water and bread to the children, and asked them to eat and drink some water first.
Seeing the children eating bread obediently next to him, Cheng Nuo looked at He Zikai and said, "Akai, Jiayi called me just now. Her voice sounded like she was crying at first. I'm a little worried about Jiayi."
Afterwards, Cheng Nuo told He Zikai everything he had talked about with Jiayi.
After hearing this, He Zikai's expression changed. What he could think of in his heart was the same as Nuo'er's.
The only person I can think of who knows Jiayi's emotions and what happened to Jiayi is Ouyang.
"I'll give Ouyang a call." He Zikai said, and was about to take out his mobile phone and call Ouyang Ruize.
Cheng Nuo nodded.
He Zikai did not make a call in front of Nuo'er and the children, but got up and walked to a quiet place not far away before dialing Ouyang Ruize's number.
"Hello, Zi Kai." Ouyang Ruize's voice came from the phone.
"Ouyang, are you and Jiayi... together?" He Zikai first asked Ouyang Ruize if he was with Jiayi.
"Well, we are all in the hotel." Ouyang Ruize's voice was very calm, and He Zikai couldn't hear any special emotions here.
"Well," He Zikai responded, and then asked, "Did nothing happen to you and Jiayi?"
Ouyang Ruize on the other end of the phone had already guessed the meaning of Zi Kai's call, because he knew it when Jiayi called Cheng Nuo just now. (To be continued)
