Chapter 61 (Little Green Tea)
Until Huo Zhenyu left in a furious manner, Yu Li was still inexplicably aware of what he was crazy about just now, but seeing that his mood was much higher than before, he was somewhat relieved.
He was still holding an insulation bucket in his hand, and the fitness equipment could not be accessed. Yu Li had to go home early and put the insulation bucket back into the cabinet while her parents were not paying attention.
"Why did you come back so early?" Dad Yu was surprised when he saw her.
Yu Li looked at him innocently: "It's too cold outside, I'm wearing a little bit."
When she was talking, Yu's mother happened to come out of the house. After seeing her dressing up with a down jacket and sweatshirt, she was speechless. She wanted to make excuses and not find a better one. Only a fool would believe that she would be cold when wearing this way.
When Dad Yu heard this, he nodded immediately: "I'm wearing less clothes. Remember to wear thicker ones when going out tomorrow. Don't forget to wear autumn clothes and pants. If you catch a cold, your mother and I will feel distressed."
Yu Ma: "..." Fool.
She looked at Yu Li speechlessly, and Yu Li secretly pursed her lips and smiled. This matter was revealed.
In the evening, after the video with Huo Chen ended, Yu Li put down her cell phone and lay flat, staring at the ceiling in a daze. The last time she met Huo Zhenyu was the first time before the New Year. Now it has been ten days in the blink of an eye. When we first met, we felt like we were dreaming. We always felt that it was not real, especially now that we were sleepy and our minds were turning slowly. She even felt that everything we had just been her hallucinations.
Just as his thoughts were getting worse and worse, the phone suddenly vibrated. Yu Li paused and opened the phone and saw a message from Huo Zhenyu: Are there any dumplings left?
Yu Li: “…”
Before she could reply, Huo Zhenyu replied again: No dumplings or anything else is OK, I want to eat what you made at home.
He posted this sentence just to make no words, but unexpectedly hit Yu Li's weakness. Whenever he thought of him turning from the most important child in the family to a homeless wanderer overnight, she couldn't help feeling distressed.
After Huo Zhenyu sent the message, he couldn't wait for a reply and couldn't help but feel nervous. Although he only said two words and looked a little rogue, in fact he used all his courage. He had already acted as low as possible. If Yu Li still refused... he didn't know if he still had the strength to do it again.
As time went by, his heartbeat became faster and faster, and his palms began to sweat. Just as he couldn't control himself, his message suddenly came: There were dumplings.
In an instant, the heart seemed to jump out of his chest, and there was a sense of intense pain, and this pain was accompanied by joy and disbelief, so that he was about to fall in love with this feeling. The intense emotional reaction on his limbs was an inexplicable and exaggerated move. After hitting the basket twice with empty hand, Huo Zhenyu finally calmed down and restrained his trembling fingers and replied slowly: I'll give me a meal when I have time, I want to eat it.
Yu Li responded very quickly this time, but there was only one word: OK.
Huo Zhenyu looked at this word and his joy reached its peak instantly, and then slowly fell along the parabola, creating a little sadness... He was originally her real boyfriend, and had eaten with her many times, but never like he is like now. He just begged for a bite, which made him ecstatic.
...So they are really different from the past. Huo Zhenyu sighed melancholy and quickly cheered up again. No matter what, she was willing to reply to his message and was willing to send him dumplings, which was a good change.
Huo Zhenyu lowered her requirements to a very low level, and then found that this was not bad. It was better than being able to take it and unable to let it go and refused to give in.
After this unknowing mood change, he finally welcomed Yu Li's dumplings at noon the next day, but it was delivered by the hotel's duty staff.
Huo Zhenyu knew that she didn't want to have too much involvement with her, so she couldn't help but feel a little discouraged, but after eating the dumplings, all the bad emotions were digested by him.
After eating this meal, he sent a message to Yu Li: Thank you, it’s delicious, when will you come to get the insulation bucket?
Yu Li replied: Just put it in the hotel front desk.
Huo Zhenyu frowned and replied with his lips pursed: I'm afraid it won't work. The staff are the most impatient with this matter, you'd better get it yourself.
Yu Li was stunned when she saw the news and recalled the attitude of the hotel staff. She thought it was pretty good. Why did he think the other party was impatient? Before she could ask, Huo Zhenyu took the initiative to explain: I had a wink.
Yu Li: "..." Is this connotation that she has no eyes?
After Huo Zhenyu posted it, he seemed to realize that something was wrong. After calming down, he added: I have no other intention.
Yu Li chuckled, then realized that she shouldn't have laughed, and then quickly turned his face tense: OK, when will you have time, I'll get it.
After receiving the message she agreed, Huo Zhenyu felt relieved. In order to avoid appearing too impatient, he deliberately set the time for three hours. Yu Li didn't think much about it and agreed directly.
After the matter was settled, Huo Zhenyu began to wait, and then he found that three hours were too long and it seemed that he could not finish it. He regretted it a little, and wanted to make time ahead, but was afraid that Yu Li would be on guard again, so he could only grit his teeth and continue waiting.
After waiting for about a century, he looked at his phone and it was very good that only half an hour had passed.
Seeing that it was five centuries still, he lay down in depression, barely slept for less than an hour, and then woke up and continued to wait. After he had nothing to do, he remembered the three courses he had spent a lot of money to buy online. He was struggling for a moment, and finally, he turned on his phone with the idea of passing the time and learning some knowledge, and started a new round of learning.
Unexpectedly, this study will be more valuable than before, because this course talks about... how mistresses get to the top. Although he thinks he is not a mistress, some of the knowledge in it is worth learning from, because they all have to steal another person from one person.
The lecturer on the mobile phone was talking about various techniques while helping the students outline a bright future with all their voices. Huo Zhenyu was fascinated by the sound of hearing it without even hearing the knock at the door.
When the knock on the door continued to increase, he finally reacted. Only then did he realize that it was already the agreed time, so he quickly got up and ran to open the door.
"Come?" The door opened and he looked at the cramped little girl outside.
Yu Li coughed: "Where is the insulation bucket?"
"On the table, you can get it yourself." Huo Zhenyu couldn't help but frown when she saw that she didn't plan to enter the house.
When Yu Li heard this, she had to walk into the house. She had just walked in and walked a few steps before she even left the entrance hall. Huo Zhenyu closed the door. She paused and looked at him with panic.
"What are you looking at? I won't eat you anymore, go get it yourself." Huo Zhenyu looked stern.
Seeing that he looked upright, Yu Li smiled and went to pick up the insulation bucket: "Then I'll leave first."
"...Wait a minute!" Huo Zhenyu hurriedly stopped her.
Yu Li was stunned and looked at him in confusion.
Huo Zhenyu cleared his throat and wanted to find a reason to keep her for a longer time, but when things came to an end, he didn't know what reason to use.
"You have something to do?" Yu Li asked patiently when she saw his ears that were red.
Huo Zhenyu pursed his lips and said for a while: "I want to eat fried eggs with tomatoes and rice, and then a meaty eggplant."
Yu Li: "?"
"Can you give it to me tonight?" Huo Zhenyu couldn't help asking when she saw that she didn't speak.
Yu Li was speechless for a moment: "My dad doesn't like eating eggplant." Recently, it's basically my father's hand in hand, and the possibility of making eggplant is almost zero.
"...But I want to eat." At this time, I should follow her words to change the dish. However, when Huo Zhenyu looked into her eyes, his mind was inexplicably slammed, and he felt regretful after he finished speaking.
...It's bad now, she must refuse.
Yu Li couldn't hear the voice in his heart, but could see his nervousness. After thinking for a while, she sighed: "Huo Zhenyu, there is also a kitchen in the hotel, so you can make it in the hotel."
"Why?!" Huo Zhenyu blurted out.
Yu Li calmed down and lowered her head and whispered: "We meet so often, it's not good." She really didn't want to spend the days of cheating on both sides before.
When Huo Zhenyu heard her rejection again, she was surprised not too uncomfortable, especially after seeing her hand clenching the corner of her clothes, she knew that she was not indifferent to herself.
As mentioned in the online class, you are not afraid of refusals over and over again, but you are afraid that the other party will not have any sympathy for you. Pity is often the most critical key to opening a person's heart.
Huo Zhenyu remained silent for a long time before turning his face and whispering: "I'm sorry, I'm too much, just pretend you didn't hear it."
"Huo Zhenyu..." I thought he was going to continue to get entangled, but I didn't expect him to give up like that. Yu Li looked at him with some surprise, not understanding why he suddenly changed his attitude.
No matter why, at least she doesn't have to make things difficult for her anymore. Yu Li smiled gratefully: "Thank you for understanding me, then I..."
"It's just a simple dish. The hotel kitchen will definitely make it. I'll let them cook it for me," Huo Zhenyu smiled miserably, his eyes full of desolation. "To be honest, I haven't eaten the minced meat eggplant made at home for a long time, and I've long forgotten what it tastes. I believe that if I make it in the hotel, I can't eat it any difference from the one I make at home."
Yu Li suddenly felt sad when she thought of his fallen family.
"Wait a minute, I'll tell the kitchen to see if I can add more money and add more meat and less seasoning. Maybe it will taste like home. What do you think?" Huo Zhenyu looked into her eyes.
Yu Li opened her mouth, but couldn't say anything.
"Okay, it's getting late, you can go back quickly. I'll go to the kitchen later." Huo Zhenyu urged her to leave. Seeing that she was standing still, she simply pushed her shoulder from behind and sent her off.
Yu Li passively walked out of his room door and was about to grit her teeth and leave cruelly, but when she turned around and said goodbye to him, she saw the corners of his red eyes.
