Chapter 52: They Didn't Go Back to the Past, He Didn't Love Her
At the mention of going on a trip, Tang Xiuyun looked up at him, "Travel? Do we have time to go? β
Zhou Junyu looked up at the sky. "There will be time. I'll take you there as soon as I have time. β
Tang Xiujun is very willing to travel. To be honest, she has never been on a tourist. Due to family reasons, her father left her mother and her to go to the United States to make products. Her mother was not in good health and did not have the opportunity to travel.
Besides, there's no time. When she was in college, she worked and studied alone. In all her spare time, she works to support her family.
She looked up at him, "Where are we going?" β
He smiled and his eyes were full of longing, "Go to Bali." β
Tang Xiuyun looked puzzled, "Bali? Isn't that a honeymoon destination? Don't newlyweds usually go there? β
Zhou Junyu gently scratched his nose, "When we got married, wasn't it our honeymoon?" When we got married, we were going to be newly married. β
Tang Xiuyun suddenly realized that she reached out and patted her forehead. "I'm stupid, it's a good idea. After we got married, we would go to Bali for our honeymoon. β
He clapped his fingers to indicate that there was no problem.
Still uneasy, she reached out her finger to hook him.
Seeing that she had to pull the hook, he smiled, reached out and hooked her fingers.
"Pull the hook, a hundred years, not allowed to change. The one who has changed is the dog. Tang Xiuyun said with a smile on her face.
Zhou Junyu thought it didn't matter and wanted to let go.
"Wait."
Zhou Junyu looked at her suspiciously. Tang Xiuyun stretched out her thumb and stuck it on Zhou Junyu's thumb.
Looking at Tang Xiuyun, who was smiling like a child, Zhou Junyu was also very infected, with a knowing smile on his face.
The two hugged each other, looking at the starry sky and the bright moon, their eyes full of longing and anticipation.
After getting off work the next day, Zhou Junyu drove Tang Xiuyun home first, and then went to the city to have dinner with Shen Xingyao.
Shen Xingyao came to the steakhouse early, waiting for Zhou Junyu's arrival, while paparazzi lurked nearby.
At six o'clock, Zhou Junyu, who sent Tang Xiuyun, also arrived at the Western restaurant.
"Sorry, I'm late." Zhou Junyu smiled at her.
Shen Xingyao smiled. "It's fine. You're not late. I came early. β
Zhou Junyu pointed to the menu on the table and said, "Okay, eat something." I'm in for a treat. β
The waitress immediately stepped forward, took out her small notebook, and waited for the customer to order.
Shen Xingyao flipped through the menu and said, "Let's eat your restaurant's signature honey steak." Half-cooked. I prefer to eat it thoroughly and then have a glass of red wine. β
The waiter quickly recorded the dish ordered by Shen Xingyao and said, "Sir, what do you want to eat?" β
Zhou Junyu looked at the menu, and just as he wanted to speak, he heard Shen Xingyao speak.
"Australian steak, he likes to eat half-cooked and drink a cup of American coffee."
The waiter looked at Zhou Junyu suspiciously, but found that Zhou Junyu nodded and said, "Just like the lady said." β
"Okay, please wait." The waiter put away the notebook and turned to leave.
"Do you remember my taste?" Zhou Junyu said, with a hint of surprise in his voice.
"Always remember, never forget."
Shen Xingyao's words were profound, and her eyes were bright and firm. What she wants to convey is that she has always remembered and will never forget, not only for his taste, but also for him.
As a person with a high IQ, he understood the meaning of her words. But in order not to embarrass the atmosphere, he can't be too direct.
"It's better to forget about these things. They're all in the past. In fact, I can't eat them right now. β
Zhou Junyu had something to say, on the one hand, to persuade her to forget those things that had passed, and on the other hand, to tell her that they had not returned to the past, and that he did not love her.
"Waiter." Zhou Junyu stretched out his hand and waved for the waiter to come over.
The waiter immediately walked over and respectfully asked, "What else do you need?" β
Zhou Junyu said expressionlessly, "Replace the Australian steak with sauce steak, half-cooked, and replace the American coffee with another coffee." β
"Okay, please wait." As soon as he finished speaking, the waiter withdrew.
Zhou Junyu's meaning is very direct. He tells her that he doesn't love her anymore and that he doesn't want her to stay in the past.
Shen Xingyao is a smart person. She naturally understood what he meant, but she didn't want to give up. She thinks there's still hope for her.
A brilliant idea flashed through her mind. She glanced out the window. In fact, several paparazzi were taking pictures of them.
She stood up, picked up the orange juice on the table, and said, "Let's use orange juice instead of wine to commemorate our unapologetic youth, and hope that we can forget the past and our future will be better and better." β
After listening to her words, he thought that she wanted to forget the past and embrace the future, so he did not hesitate to pick up the orange juice and say, "I hope we are getting better and better." β
As soon as the orange juice of the two people was about to touch, Shen Xingyao became dizzy. The orange juice cup in her hand also fell to the ground. Orange juice splashed on her clothes. Her center of gravity is unstable, and she's about to fall. Zhou Junyu hurriedly stretched out his hand to hold her. The paparazzi hurriedly took out their cameras, pointed them at the lens, and filmed them. Shen Xingyao was very proud.
"Are you alright? Do you want me to take you to the hospital for a check-up? Zhou Junyu asked with concern.
Shen Xingyao pretended to be weak, waved at him, and whispered, "I don't need to go to the hospital." I didn't eat lunch, so I felt dizzy. β
Zhou Junyu breathed a sigh of relief and picked up the napkin. Like a gentleman helping her wash the orange juice off her clothes.
Paparazzi take pictures. It's a big hot spot. President Zhou had a close meeting with the city's most talented female pianist. The two interacted intimately and hugged each other. It's definitely the headline of tomorrow and it's sure to be a sensation across the city.
After the meal, because Shen Xingyao drank some wine, she was still a girl, and Zhou Junyu planned to drive her home.
Zhou Junyu glanced at Shen Xingyao in the passenger seat and said, "Where is your home?" β
She said with a calm face, "Where we used to live." β
He paused. She actually lives in the apartment they used to live in. Does she want to relive their old days?
"Why don't you go back to your house? Will you live in the house we have lived in before? β
She looked at him, "Because I think all our memories are there, and it's important to me." β
What she said embarrassed him for a while. They are all in the past tense. Now they're different things. He already has Tang Xiuyun and no longer loves her.
So along the way, none of them spoke.
The car was parked in front of the apartment. Zhou Junyu glanced at it slightly, but quickly withdrew his gaze because he was worried that it would make her think more.
However, Shen Xingyao broke the silence and said, "Aren't you going to get out of the car and take a look?" Let's go up and have a cup of tea. After all, the house is ours. We've been living together for two years now. β
He smiled and said, "No, there are still people waiting for me at home." It's late now. β
"Okay, then I won't force you, you go home. Stay safe on the road. Shen Xingyao was about to get out of the car.
She feigned dizziness as soon as she pushed the door.
Zhou Junyu hurriedly stretched out his hand and said, "Forget it, I'll take you up." β
She smiled and shook her hand. "It's okay, don't bother you, I can go up by myself."
As soon as she finished speaking, she walked out of the car door, but as soon as she stepped out of the car door, she pretended to be dizzy again. Zhou Junyu got out of the car and bent down.
"You come up, and I'll help you up."
Shen Xingyao's right hand stroked his forehead, pretending to be dizzy. "Thank you."
"It's okay, come on."
She walked over and leaned against him. He helped her to the door of the apartment.
The dΓ©cor in the house is the same as they used to live in. The white piano is still in the living room.
A long time ago, a scene appeared before his eyes, she was wearing a white dress, sitting there playing the piano, while he leaned on the piano, listening to the piano music she played with his eyes closed.
The scene was particularly warm, just like yesterday. She looked at the piano and said, "Can I make a wish?" β
Zhou Junyu didn't divert his attention, just nodded.
"Can I play the piano again for you?"
Zhou Junyu turned around, looked at her expectant eyes, and nodded, "Okay." β
Shen Xingyao seemed to have received a lot of recognition, and walked over and sat down with joy on her face.
Slender fingers, dancing rhythmically on the keys, very skilled. Her fingers beat like elves, cheerful and compact.
He walked over, leaned against the piano, closed his eyes and listened.
The lights are bright. She is wearing a lace white dress today. At first glance, she looks like a fairy. Her remarkable temperament, combined with her gentle and elegant appearance, is a beauty.
Shen Xingyao played the tune of the dream wedding. This piece is very contagious, and it is also the inheritor of her heart.
But can he understand her thoughts?
As the song ended, Zhou Junyu slowly opened his eyes.
"I'm going back, you go to bed early."
Shen Xingyao nodded and looked at him with a smile, "Be careful on the road, drive slowly, good night." β
He smiled at her, "Don't worry. Go to bed early. β
As soon as he finished speaking, he went out and drove away.
When he got home, he walked in gently, afraid of disturbing Tang Xiuyun's rest.
After walking through the living room, his gaze was focused on the couch. Tang Xiuyun slept soundly. She seemed tired of waiting and fell asleep.
He walked over and bent down and looked at the sleeping Tang Xiuyun.
She closed her eyes, her long eyelashes drooping. Her cherry-like mouth looks more doll-like and more charming.
He leaned over her forehead and kissed her lightly, the corners of his mouth rising into a knowing smile.
It was this kiss that woke her up. She opened her eyes and saw Zhou Junyu looking at her with a smile.
"When you came back, I was asleep." She smiled awkwardly and prepared to get up.
Zhou Junyu grabbed her arm and ordered, "Don't move, I'll stop you." β
Tang Xiuyun looked confused and stared at him.
Seeing him pick her up, he still had a smile on his face.
Back in the room, he gently placed her on the bed, "The way you sleep is so beautiful. β
Did he praise her? Does she look beautiful when she sleeps? Is he sure?
Tang Xiuyun has always been bullied by him, so naturally he doesn't believe this.
She looked defensively at him and said, "Are you complimenting me or are you laughing at me?" β
