Chapter 63: Dodge
Another sleepless night.
Forcing myself to lie in bed, forcing myself to close my eyes, my body is very tired, but my brain is still extremely excited.
With his eyes closed, only the sound of the boy's even breathing in his ears could be heard, and every nerve in his body could feel the presence of that little body.
Tong En lay on his back on the bed, struggling with sleep for twenty minutes, still no sleep, and the thoughts he suppressed were like tenacious grass, growing tenaciously upward, and finally emerging from the thick soil.
The boy next to her, Zhong Yuhao, may be the child she gave birth to five years ago.
And Zhong Yue is likely to be the first man in her life, the man who changed her fate.
When this thought completely popped out of his brain, Tong En also lost sleep completely.
Ridiculous, ridiculous.
Staring at the ceiling with wide eyes, Tong En told himself that the idea was ridiculous.
Is she too sensitive, or is fate playing tricks on her again?
The details that had been overlooked, the scenes that could not be explained, kept playing back in front of her eyes like a slideshow.
At the auction, the tremor of the heart during the first handshake; At the entrance of the hospital, his heart beat faster when he saw him again; At the sorority, the big hands in the dark; playground, painful sweet feeling; Tonight, the sound of familiar and real footsteps.
The five-year-old boy, what He Xiao once said, loves Yuhao from the heart.
Is all this really just a sensitivity or a coincidence?
If all this is not due to sensitivity and coincidence, if this ridiculous speculation of oneself is true, then will God have mercy on her or torment her?
Tong En lay on the bed, countless thoughts rushing chaotically in his mind, sadness, joy and fear intertwined.
Yuhao next to him was probably too excited to play before going to bed, and suddenly let out a short laugh in his sleep, and turned over and reached out to hug one of Tong En's arms.
Tong En's heart trembled, turned his body sideways, and looked at the little face beside him. It was late at night, the curtains covered the moonlight, and Tong En could only see a rough outline when he looked closely.
The heart beats suddenly, and the hands tremble slightly.
Yes, or no?
Tong En felt that he was about to be driven crazy by this thought.
In the second half of the night, Tong En looked at Yu Hao stupidly until dawn.
For a few days, Tong En didn't dare to meet Zhong Yue, every time Zhong Yue called, she excused herself from being busy with work, she didn't know what she was afraid of, but she just didn't have the courage to face Zhong Yue.
Every day after work, she sat in the office and stayed until late before returning to the apartment. She really wished that she had never had that kind of thought, so that she could happily date her beloved and happily play with Yuhao as she did some time ago.
But now, she can't do it anymore.
Straight look, she didn't dare to check, whether it was, or not.
Until I received a call from Yuhao.
"Aunt Tong, you don't keep your promises, you said you would come to pick me up and go to your house to play, but you didn't come." Yu Hao said aggrievedly on the phone.
Tong En was speechless, and he didn't know how to answer the child, so he had to bite the bullet and say, "I'm sorry Yuhao, Auntie is busy with work these days and has no time." ”
"Then will you come to our house for dinner tomorrow night?"
"Tomorrow? Auntie has to work overtime tomorrow night, and she really can't go. ”
No, no, she can't see them, she's not mentally ready.
"Please, Aunt Tong, come on, I miss you. It's my dad's birthday, and Aunt Chen has to cook a lot of delicious food, but she doesn't know how to make chocolate milkshakes. Come on, let's make a chocolate milkshake together, okay? ”
Zhong Yue's birthday, Tong En hesitated.
"Aunt Tong, come on, come on." Yu Hao was coquettish on the phone.
Tong En surrendered.
"Okay, Auntie is going to make a chocolate milkshake with you."
"Yay, that's great!" Yu Hao jumped up excitedly on the other end of the phone.
As soon as he put down the phone, the ringtone rang again, it was Zhong Yue.
Tong En picked up the phone, "Hey." ”
"Tong En, it's me."
"Yes."
"Are you free tomorrow night? I'd like to invite you to my house for a meal. On the phone, Zhong Yue's voice was a little nervous.
"Tomorrow, it's your birthday, right?"
"How do you know? I don't seem to have said that......" Zhong Yue said in surprise.
"It was Yuhao who told me, he just called me."
"Really? This little ghost, he's been clamoring to find you for the past two days. Tong En, can you come? On the other side of the phone, Zhong Yue's palms were sweating nervously.
"Well, if you have a birthday, I'll definitely go."
"Great. I'll pick you up at your company after work tomorrow, and I'll be waiting for you. ”
Putting down the phone, Zhong Yue's heart was overjoyed.
Since leaving Tong En's apartment that night, he felt that Tong En was deliberately avoiding him, and asked her to dinner several times, but she said that she was busy with work and pushed it off. Tong En is not a person who is good at lying, and Zhong Yue can tell that she has something on her mind.
Regarding Tong En's changes, Zhong Yue was really a little puzzled. What happened that day, he didn't ask the reason from Yu Hao's mouth, if it was because of that sailboat, Zhong Yue believed that Tong En would not react so violently. What is the reason for this? Zhong Yue was puzzled.
Zhong Yue, who has always been work-oriented, has been distracted even in meetings these days, and at the regular meeting on Monday, Lin Yinan reminded him three times in total, and after the meeting, he kept worrying and asking him if he was sick?
The next afternoon, Zhong Yue arrived at Tong En's office building 30 minutes early, sat in the car and waited until he got off work in five minutes before calling Tong En.
After receiving the call and knowing that Zhong Yue had arrived downstairs, Tong En began to panic again. She quickly closed her computer, picked up her handbag and walked to the door, hesitated for a moment, turned and walked back, pulling out the mirror in a drawer and looking at her hair and face. The expression on her face in the mirror was a little nervous, and she tried to relax her expression, adjusting her breathing to try to calm her beating heart, and then she put down the mirror and turned out of the room.
When she walked out of the company's big house, she saw Zhong Yue standing in the sunset at a glance.
The orange sunset cast a dazzling gold rim on Zhong Yue's tall body, and he was half-leaning on the black car, one arm resting on the body, and behind him were trees with yellow leaves in autumn and colorful buildings reflected by the sunset.
Tong En's heart jumped wildly again, and Zhong Yue at this moment exuded the irresistible charm of a mature man.
Facing Tong En, Zhong Yue smiled from the bottom of his eyes to his eyebrows, and the gloomy mood of the past few days was swept away.
"Happy Birthday!"
Tong En sat beside Zhong Yue and turned his head to meet his affectionate and happy eyes.
"Thank you!"
Driving the car with one hand steadily, Zhong Yue's heart was happy, and all the worries and anxieties of the past few days were gone, because Tong En was sitting beside him at the moment, looking at him quietly with beautiful and clear eyes, and his soft little hands were not dodged by his touch.
"I just knew you had a birthday, and I didn't have time to choose a suitable birthday gift for you."
It was too late to receive the call yesterday, and today was too busy to leave, so Tong En had to buy a tie in a hurry while he was eating at noon.
"Things have been too complicated these days, if it weren't for Sister Chen's reminder, I would have forgotten about it."
Zhong Yue clenched Tong En's hand and turned his head to look at her: "You are here, it is the best gift." ”
Tong En smiled, his clenched hands numb, and something was melting in his heart.
She gently pulled out her hot hand and picked it up and put it on the steering wheel.
"Concentrate on driving." She said seriously with a smile.
Zhong Yue also smiled and clenched the steering wheel, and replied without squinting, "Yes." ”
