Chapter 176: Where to Change
As time passed little by little, although the people upstairs and downstairs regretted not being able to see Yue Qingxuan again, they also left the table one after another with their new friends before it was too early.
And because the authorities have always sought to do things perfectly, those who did not buy a return ticket still received official help, and even before leaving, almost everyone received a small gift.
Xiao Shuyi drooped his head and sat down opposite him, at this time, there were no more players in the hotel left, and even if there were, they came here with the mentality of traveling here, so they were not in a hurry to leave.
Because Hai Lichuan was the manager of the hotel, he didn't have time to come down to greet her, the friend Meng Youran brought over, knowing that she hadn't left yet, he just asked people to bring a few more snacks and the like.
She sighed that Hai Lichuan didn't come down at this time, but after thinking about it, she felt that she understood a little, it was because there were only three sisters and a few weak women around her, but now it is Cheng Yi who is by her side, and her face is not very good-looking.
In such a situation, if Hai Lichuan dared to come down to set it up, she felt that she should admire and admire him.
Xiao Shuyi still lowered her head and did not look at him, took the sugar-free Blue Mountain coffee she ordered from the waiter's hand, and gently put it in front of her, stirring it for a while, the rich fragrance of coffee lingered on the tip of her nose, making her unconsciously relaxed.
She enjoyed sniffing the aroma of the coffee, squinting her eyes and unconsciously revealing a shallow smile at the corner of her mouth, and only when the coffee cup she was holding was not so hot did she lower her head and take a sip, and the silky mellow aroma like chocolate instantly spread between her lips and teeth.
"Chengyi, I, I..." she put down the spoon and looked up at him, wanting to explain to him but didn't know how to explain, and she didn't think there was anything wrong with her in her heart.
Nowadays, there are literally a mountain of people who play online games, and now it is a society where men and women are equal in the 21st century, and there is no law that says that girls are not allowed to play games, let alone most of the top players in the game are women.
The men and women of this era are no longer what they used to be.
After all, because her heart is no longer all in him, she can't realize his intentions for her, right?
She was silent before she finished speaking, and after a pause, she said: "I have come out for an internship, and I have a sense of proportion in many things, I didn't want to come to this carnival event, but then I thought that since I didn't play anymore, I agreed to come and join in the fun." ”
That's not all the reason she's here, some of them she deliberately ignored and didn't tell him, not because she didn't say it, but because she didn't want to say it.
Xiao Shuyi lowered her head without looking at his face after she finished talking to him, thinking that she wasn't telling a lie, she couldn't let her say in front of him that she came because she wanted to know about the relationship between him and Yue Qingxuan, right?
She pursed her lips secretly, and she would rather not say it.
"Hmm." Yue Chengyi only glanced at her lightly, took a sugar cube from the small plate on the table and stirred it in the coffee, picked up the coffee cup and took a few sips elegantly before putting it down.
"Chengyi, are you still angry?" Xiao Shuyi glanced at his face, it seemed to be better than just now, but it was also colder, she wasn't sure what his attitude was now, whether he was still unhappy because he was playing online games, or didn't want to mention it again.
At this moment, she felt that she really didn't know him well enough, even if she played with him from childhood to adulthood, she still couldn't understand him.
It's like she should believe that he won't have anything to do with Yue Qingxuan, but she always can't stop thinking about it in her head, and sometimes a woman's intuition is also very accurate, so she doesn't trust him so much.
It is said that Yue Qingxuan was kicked out by the Yue family when she was very young, and she will definitely suffer a lot if she is kicked out at such a young age, but there is no one to take care of her, give her food and clothing, and she can be admitted to university if she is wandering alone, so someone must be behind her back.
As for the person who funded her, it was most likely someone from the Yue family.
Xiao Shuyi naturally didn't notice his scrutiny when she thought about it, she only thought that the person who helped Yue Qingxuan was either Uncle Yue or Chengyi, and she thought of the rumors from the outside world, and she was also a little disappointed.
Yue Chengyi didn't answer her, but reached into the snack plate and put a piece of rose cake on the plate in front of her, and said softly: "You shouldn't have eaten enough upstairs just now, right?" This rose cake is not bad. ”
As he spoke, he took a piece and put it on his plate, picked it up with a fork and gently took a small bite and chewed it carefully, it was sweet and fragrant, and the amount of oil used was just right, so it tasted unique.
"I, Cheng Yi, I-" She glanced at the rose cake he had brought over, even though she felt very smelly just by smelling it, she had no appetite, and she felt uneasy if she didn't make it clear to him for a day, after all, many things had changed in three years, just as she couldn't figure out what he meant now.
"Well, I know, I'll send you back after eating in a while." He didn't wait for her to repeat the words before interrupting her, not because he didn't want to listen to her explanation, but because it was no longer necessary, just like what she said herself, she had already come out for an internship and had her own measure.
Therefore, there is probably no need for him to worry about her anymore, he just needs to take care of her and treat her wholeheartedly.
As soon as his words came out, Xiao Shuyi couldn't speak anymore, and her little face picked up the rose cake and ate it sullenly, it was not big, and she ate it all into her stomach in less than two bites.
As for the taste of this rose cake, it may be that she ate it too quickly, so she didn't taste it.
After another half an hour, Xiao Shuyi was already in her stomach with three rose cakes and two cups of Blue Mountain coffee, and when she looked up at him again, he had just finished eating, and was elegantly wiping the grease stains from the corners of his mouth with a napkin.
"Let's go, I'll send you back." He said lightly, got up and took his blazer and tucked it between the wrist of his left arm, and naturally stretched out his right hand to take her little hand, and then walked out.
Xiao Shuyi was a little inexplicable by such a strange atmosphere, but she didn't say anything, let him take his hand and walk out, and couldn't help but secretly raise her little face and glance at his side face.
It's still gentle and handsome, but suddenly something has changed.
And where exactly has changed, in fact, she can't say, but she just feels like this for no reason.
Perhaps, it's because my heart hasn't been cleared up yet.
Time flies quickly when she comes from City A to City B, but when she returns to City A from City B, it seems like a long torment, Xiao Shuyi raised her eyes and turned her head to look at him with a faint face, and wanted to ask him many times, asking him if the scandal was hype or if he really had it, and also wanted to ask him if he was still as affectionate as before.
But these words always swallowed back when they were almost in her mouth, and she thought that she might be too insecure, how could she suspect that the feelings she had cultivated since childhood would be fake.
So she never said those words to him, so she closed her eyes slightly and rested on the backrest, and her impetuous heart slowly calmed down.
This night, she slept very deeply, but it was also very sweet, and when she woke up leisurely, it was already the next day, during which Yue Chengyi called to ask her if she was awake, and Mrs. Xiao only apologized after receiving the call and said that she had not woken up yet, just because of this, she was a little more satisfied with this prospective son-in-law.
Not only did he send his daughter back, but he also cared about his daughter very much.
Mrs. Xiao curled her mouth a little proudly, and turned to go upstairs.
Xiao Shuyi, who had just come out of sleep, was still in a trance, sat up wrapped in a thick quilt, rubbed her hazy sleepy eyes vigorously, turned her head and picked up the mobile phone on the bedside table and looked at it, and suddenly thought that she was still asleep.
"This, it's the second day?" She smacked her lips and looked up at the bedroom she knew all too well, and swallowed in amazement.
She, didn't she come back with Cheng Yi? And the distance from city B to city A is not particularly close, why did it arrive so quickly?
And, and it's daytime, which means she hasn't been awake since she fell asleep last night?
Xiao Shuyi covered her face with her hands and was a little embarrassed, she was really tired and sleepy last night, but she just wanted to squint for a while, but she didn't expect to sleep like that until dawn the next day!
Suddenly, as if she remembered something, she lifted the quilt and hurriedly got out of bed, walked quickly to the window and opened the curtains, and looked downstairs as if she was looking for something, but saw nothing but the green artificial lawn.
She was a little reluctant, and leaned her upper body out of the window again, and looked very hard at the villa next to her, and when she saw the extended Lincoln parked in the front yard of the Yue family's villa, she bent the corners of her mouth and withdrew her gaze.
"Sure enough, it's the next day." She muttered secretly, it should have been Cheng Yi who didn't wake her up last night when he saw that she was already asleep, so he didn't immediately turn around and go back to the company, right?
Xiao Shuyi had a faint but warm smile on the corner of her mouth, and after a while, she went downstairs to his house to find him!
It's just that in the end, she still didn't catch up with the time for him to leave, and when she went downstairs to wash up and finish breakfast, Yue Chengyi sat in the extended Lincoln car and glanced at her bedroom lightly, and then started the car and went back to the company.
Xiao Shuyi sat at the dining table and swallowed the last bite of bread, picked up the oat milk next to her and drank a few sips, and after washing away the dry smell of bread, she looked up at her mother who was coming down from upstairs.
