"From now on, you will live here. The password is XXXXXX." Hiding the excitement in his eyes, He Qingyu turned around and said lightly.
Stepping over the threshold, Zhou Xuanqing gazed around the room, sizing up all the decorations around him. Then, he answered leisurely, "My dad is not in good health right now, and the recent events have hit my mom hard. I want to take care of them and come back at night."
The meaning was that she wouldn't be staying here during the day. She thought that He Qingyu wouldn't agree, but she didn't expect him to nod his head so straightforwardly.
"Sure, no one visits this villa except for the hourly work."
He Qingyu walked to the entrance and changed into slippers. His movements were casual, yet graceful. His tone was very amiable.
Zhou Xuanqing once again had the illusion that the two of them had returned to the past. Suppressing the astonishment in his heart, he nodded and replied, "En."
When both of them reached the living room, the atmosphere began to change.
Looking at He Qingyu who was standing at the foot of the stairs, Zhou Xueqing stopped in his tracks. Upstairs was the bedroom. There was no need to think about what would happen next.
He Qingyu pretended not to know when the woman hesitated. He lazily asked, "What's the matter?"
Zhou Xuan Qing forced a smile. "I'm fine."
Then he walked up the other side of the stairs.
The woman's shoulders looked delicate and her back was straight. He should be very nervous, but he was pretending to be relaxed. Helplessly shaking his head, He Qingyu could only pretend that he did not know.
There were three bedrooms on the second floor, and each of them was closed. Zhou Xuanqing stared at one of the guards, stopping right in front of the entrance.
"It's this one." Taking a step over the woman, He Qingyu opened the door and led the way.
The room was very large. The windows were facing the sun. The simple and elegant room was equipped with large French windows, making the view much wider.
Zhou Xuanqing had never denied He Qingyu's taste.
After entering the room, the two of them got closer due to the changing environment. The atmosphere became somewhat awkward. He Qingyu faked a cough and said, "I'm going to take a bath first."
Zhou Xuanqing had no choice but to reply obediently, "Yes."
Her heart was tense and did not budge. As the bathroom door closed, the atmosphere became even more serene. Zhou Xuanqing walked up to the french window and forcefully pulled open the curtains embroidered with beautiful designs. As he lifted his eyes, all he could see was a pitch-black phantom.
It was the shadow of the trees on both sides of the road, which made the moonlight look dim and yellow.
"Tap, tap, tap!" The clock on the wall turned from time to time. It had been a long time since He Qingyu had come out from the bathroom. The quiet and unfamiliar room made Zhou Xuanqing feel even more at a loss of what to do.
She walked over to the bed and touched the soft bed, then looked at the display on the table. It was a music case shaped like a wooden horse. It was very delicate. He turned the switch and soon, very soft and gentle music came out. After calming her heart down, she heard a light sound coming from behind her.
She put down the music box and didn't look back.
"I'm done washing. I've prepared a bathrobe for you. You can go in and wash!"
Zhou Xuanqing's words were so natural that they made Zhou Xueqing blush. She pursed her lips, lowered her head and turned around before replying, "Okay."
Then, flustered, she hurried into the bathroom.
His eyes left the closed bathroom door and fell onto the music box on the table. He Qing Yu, who was wiping his hair with a towel, couldn't help but laugh.
In the bathroom, Zhou Xueqing heaved a sigh of relief as he slammed the door shut. She used the slowest method of bathing, wishing she could wash until dawn arrived.
In this way, perhaps He Qingyu outside would be too impatient to sleep.
Although his thoughts were good, that was not the case. Just when the hot water in the bathtub had cooled down and Zhou Xuan Qing was staring blankly at his somewhat pale hands, a knock sounded on the door.
"Lucky?"
The familiar shout caused her heart to slightly clench.
The voice quickly followed, "Lucy, I got someone to bring dinner over. If you're done, come out and eat with me."
What a firm sentence. It was as if he had already guessed that she was hiding in this bathroom on purpose.
Reality had shattered Zhou Xueqing's fantasy of escaping, and she couldn't help but open her mouth to reply, "I'll be right out."
Outside the door, He Qingyu could not help but laugh. He walked gracefully to the improvised table and sat down.
When Zhou Xuanqing walked out, he saw a man gracefully stripping the prawns on the table.
After peeling off a plate full of meat, the alluring fragrance of bright red prawn meat was exceptionally alluring to her. This caused her, who had not eaten properly for two days, to suddenly feel hungry.
What did that mean? Could it be that he still remembered that he liked to eat lobsters that were fried with special seasonings the most?
Walking up to the table, Zhou Xuanqing stared at the steaming hot dishes on the table, hesitating to take a seat.
"You aren't afraid of my revenge, so you fell to the ground in a sorry state."
This sentence, which was neither light nor heavy, reminded Zhou Xueqing of the time three years ago, when they had been out for a meal together. In a moment of mischief, she had Simon, who had never been embarrassed in front of anyone before, fall to the ground.
At the time, he had spoiled her like a spoiled princess.
He could still see the past, but when he thought about it now, it made his heart ache. She pulled out a chair and sat down. Without asking why she was eating in the room, she stiffly picked up a bowl and chopsticks to add some food to her bowl.
Since she was unhappy in her heart, she couldn't force herself to act as if nothing had happened and greet him with a smile.
Upon seeing this, He Qingyu's nimble and agile movements froze for a moment before he quickly put the prawn down. He picked up the chopsticks and lowered his head, swallowing all the previously peeled meat into his stomach.
There were some things that could no longer be salvaged, even if he wanted to.
If that's the case, then we'll continue torturing each other. As long as Lucky was around, even if her heart wasn't here, it didn't matter.
Ignoring the fact that the man's anger had already overtaken him, Zhou Xueqing quickly grabbed the food in his hands. Out of the corner of his eyes, he saw that the prawn meat on the plate was quickly eaten up by He Qingyu. He could not help but feel depressed in his heart. Suppressing the fondness in his heart, he forced his chopsticks not to reach towards the remains of the remaining crayfish.
"Why didn't I realize before that you loved to eat lobsters so much? You must have bought them on purpose to tempt me, yet you ate them all yourself."
He cursed in his heart and looked depressed. He didn't notice that the man had already finished eating and was reaching out to grab his shoulder.
The sudden contact almost made Zhou Xuanqing choke in fright.
She turned her head around with a stiff expression, only to see He Qingyu coming over with an expressionless face. He indistinctly swept up her hair and sniffed it. Then, he quickly approached her and covered her ears with his earlobes.
However, his eyes seemed cold and hard.
