Chapter 236: I Only Want You
On Christmas Day, Zhong Yi refused everyone's invitations, she didn't go anywhere, and slept alone at home for a whole day.
When I woke up, it was pitch black and I couldn't tell whether it was day or night. The room forgot to turn on the heating, and the cold rushed to her heart, and she sneezed loudly. My head is a little dizzy, I just woke up, and my consciousness is returning.
After a while, Zhong Yi picked up the mobile phone on the bedside table, turned it on, stepped on the cotton slippers and walked out of the room, and sat down on the lazy sofa in front of the window.
She has a habit of sleeping, her mobile phone is turned off, and she is afraid that if she keeps her phone turned on, the message will be constant, affecting her sleep. No matter what is important, it has always been dealt with when she wakes up.
The Christmas greetings and messages received were endless, almost filling her mobile phone, and the circle of friends was posting Christmas-related pictures, and even the hot topics on Weibo were inseparable from this year's Christmas......
Zhong Yi's fingers kept sliding the screen, as if she was like a primitive person who had left the network society, she didn't do anything at Christmas, there was nothing to post in the circle of friends, and Weibo was not updated.
She received too many group blessing text messages, and she liked to manually clean up the trouble to death, so she was lazy, so she let spam text messages and group blessing text messages occupy half of her memory, until the phone was scrapped.
After not eating for a day, she put down her phone, got up and walked into the kitchen, opened the refrigerator door and searched for food to fill her stomach.
In the past few days, I often work overtime, order takeout in the company to vomit, in the evening, it is Christmas, it is estimated that some merchants' takeaway orders are crowded, and when a takeaway is delivered to her, she has probably lost the desire to eat takeout.
In order to survive, sometimes you have to rely on yourself.
Since college, Zhong Yi has hardly ever cooked, and his earlier cooking skills have long since faded over time, becoming rusty and miserable. Later, there were a few times when the kitchen was almost burned, and An Shu forbade her to step into the kitchen for half a step, and cooked for her to eat.
An Shu is not there, she has to go to work, and the three meals are usually solved outside, and occasionally when Xin Rui is not busy, she runs back to live at her house for a few days, basically preferring to be able to say goodbye to takeout and unchanged food for a short time.
Since Zhong's mother knew that Zhong Yi almost burned down the kitchen, she was heartbroken that she couldn't teach her how to cook, and she was determined to let her learn, otherwise she and An Shu would get married in the future, and An Shu would not come back for a month and a half on a business trip, would she still have to rely on ordering takeout to count An Shu back?
She didn't dare to imagine it at all, but fortunately, under her *, her cooking skills had improved a lot.
Zhong Yi walked out of the kitchen with a vegetable salad, sat back on the sofa in front of the window, picked up his mobile phone, glanced at the new message he received, opened it, and suddenly the whole person was not good.
Yasuki: Merry Christmas ~ [Cute]
An Shu, whom she knew, would not send her any words like "Happy Holiday So-and-so" on any holidays except for her birthday and Qingming Festival, and he once said that this kind of behavior was like a low-intelligence child. What makes him even more disgusted is a kind of emoji and various expressions.
His performance tonight...... It doesn't fit his cold temperament at all.
Could it be that he was stolen? Or was the phone stolen? Zhong Yi instantly had these two very likely thoughts in his mind, carefully compared An Shu's character, and nodded solemnly: He was definitely stolen!
Replies to him tentatively: You have been stolen?
As soon as the message was sent, she received a video request from him, which was so fast that Zhong Yi thought that the person who "stole the number" had been waiting for her reply by the phone.
Zhong Yi did not hesitate, clicked on the video call, she held her breath and looked at the boy who was looking down at the document in the video, confirming that she was not wrong, and the mobile phone was not stolen.
"Why don't you speak?" An Shu didn't raise his head, and looked through the stack of documents in his hand with a serious expression. There are a lot of company affairs these days, so busy that he has forgotten what day it is, if it weren't for the fact that he heard a female colleague discussing "Christmas" in the elevator in the morning, he suddenly remembered his favor and wondered how she spent Christmas this year.
The other person was not in the country, and the gift had already passed Christmas, so after thinking about it, he still used the most primitive method to send her a text message of blessings. But she didn't expect her reaction to be so surprised, carefully testing whether he had been stolen? Inexplicably, he wanted to laugh, and without thinking about it, he sent her a request for a video call during work, so that she could see that she had not been stolen.
"You're still working?" Holding the bowl of vegetable salad, he found a bracket to fix the mobile phone, and half-squatted in front of the mobile phone. Seeing the slightly cluttered background on the screen, I roughly guessed that he was still working, as if he was busy.
"There was something wrong with the documents last month and they are being dealt with urgently." An Shu looked up from the file, a pair of rimless glasses on the bridge of his nose, blocking the coldness under his eyes, and was staring at her deeply through the screen.
Zhongyi hugged the bowl and stirred the vegetables in the bowl with a fork: "You look tired?" Why don't you take more breaks and rest. ”
A shallow smile appeared on An Shu's face, and his voice was hoarse: "I want to deal with it quickly, so that the date of going back can be shortened a lot, and I want to see you as soon as possible." ”
"But you don't have to work so hard, do you...... It's important to be physical. Zhong Yi looked at An Shu on the other side of the screen with a distressed face, he seemed to have lost some weight, and a blue stubble appeared on his chin, and the tiredness that couldn't be hidden under his eyes all fell into her eyes.
"Compared to seeing you, everything seems less important." An Shu took off the glasses on the bridge of his nose, pinched his eyebrows with one finger, and suddenly laughed lowly.
There seems to be some kind of tacit understanding between the two, and soon An Shu devotes himself to work again, the video has been kept on, Zhong Yi is eating the vegetable salad he made, while silently watching An Shu on the screen, the two have a tacit understanding not to choose to open their mouths to break each other's quiet.
The bowl bottomed out, and Zhong Yi was reluctant to get up and leave, she watched An Shu deal with a certain document a few times, her brows were tightly locked, and she didn't dare to come out, for fear that her breathing would affect his thinking. There were a few times when Zhong Yi silently wanted to turn off the video call and let him concentrate on his work, but Yasuki seemed to notice it and gently called her name.
"Favorite."
"I'm here."
She gave up the idea of cutting off the video call and sat on the sidelines, hugging the computer and doing her own thing.
I lowered my head for a while, my neck was sore, I liked to close the computer, my hands massaged the back of my neck, I sat for a long time, and my legs were numb. Zhong Yi stood up, moved his stiff limbs in a small area, and never left the camera for three seconds.
After Anshu finished processing the last batch of documents, he raised his head and looked out of the office window from afar, large snowflakes fell silently, and the whole of France was covered with white snow.
An Shu quickly glanced at the screen of the mobile phone, Zhong Yi, who was doing people's radio gymnastics, held the mouse in his right hand, gently swiped a few times to open the browser, found the weather in the small city today, and exited the browser without a trace.
"Like, open the curtains."
The weather forecast said that there would be a snowfall in the town today, and he suddenly wanted to give it as a surprise.
Even if he is in a foreign country, he can't spend Christmas with her and enjoy the snow together.
Although he was a little curious, he did it. An Shu heard the faint sound of footsteps in the mobile phone video, and instantly guessed that she must be stepping on the cold floor barefoot, it seems that it is very necessary for him to fly back a lot of carpets and spread them in every corner of the living room.
Zhongyi walked to the window, opened the heavy curtains, and saw that it was pitch black outside, and originally wanted to say that it was Anshu's prank, until white snowflakes began to appear in his sight, falling in pieces, Zhongyi pursed his lips, and the corners of his lips crossed a graceful arc.
After admiring the snow for a while, she closed the curtains and sat back on the sofa, wrapped herself in the blanket, greedily absorbing the warmth on the blanket that had not yet dissipated: "I suddenly remembered that I still owe you a "Merry Christmas". The gift will be given to you when you return. ”
"I don't want any gifts, I just want you."
After a while, Zhongyi's voice came muffledly: "Anshu, when are you coming back?" ”
"Next Sunday." If he follows his current work process, it is not impossible to go back next Sunday. But he couldn't wait to see her, maybe a few days earlier.
There's just over a week left, which isn't much longer.
A trace of sweetness filled Zhongyi's heart, which instantly soothed her small injury that no one had accompanied her at Christmas, although it was a transnational Christmas.
I don't know how long I talked, Zhong Yi fell asleep in a daze, and when he woke up in the morning, he was lying on the bed with a quilt on his body. Zhong Nian's brain, which was not yet awake, a thought rose in his mind - An Shu is back!
With excitement and a small mood that she couldn't bear to see others for the first time, she hurriedly got out of bed, didn't even bother to put on slippers, opened the door of the room, and rushed to the living room to look around and see no one. The smell wafted from the kitchen, and Zhong Yi took a deep breath repeatedly, tiptoed to the kitchen, and saw a man in an apron with his back to her frying eggs.
The back is so familiar...... Zhong Yi's heart sank, and his whole face collapsed instantly.
Lu Yuchuan turned off the fire, bent down to find a plate, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw the love of standing outside the kitchen, with messy hair, and turned around to meet her complaining expression.
"Early in the morning...... What kind of expression do you have? Lu Yuchuan couldn't bear to look at her expression, he only felt creepy, and quickly turned his head and found a plate to put out the omelette.
Zhong Yi snorted lightly, turned around and left the kitchen door, washed up, and sat back at the table to eat the breakfast in front of him.
"When did you come?"
"It's been here a long time ago."
"Then I'm ......" Zhong Yi was afraid that if she continued, she would ruin the dream she had so hard to weave.
"I sleep like a dead pig, and I'm not a child anymore, I can sleep in the living room, and I'm not afraid of catching a cold." Lu Yuchuan ruthlessly pierced Zhongyi's sweet dream, and put on a disgusted expression cooperatively.
Lu Yuchuan...... Grab your stuff and get out of my house. "Zhong Yi almost went berserk, how can it be that the person who is going to get married is still so deliberately slandering her!
