Chapter 67: Hesitation
When Tong En was upstairs with his arms around Yu Hao, who had mixed feelings and sorrows in the past and reality, Zhong Yue sat on the sofa in the living room downstairs and waited patiently for her.
After being rejected by Tong Enyan a few times, Zhong Yue's anticipation for tonight made him very excited all day, and he didn't expect that all the time for dinner was taken up by his son, and he was still only waiting in the living room. Just wait, just wait, I've been waiting for so many days, what's this moment? Zhong Yue knew too well the speed at which his son could sleep, at most fifteen minutes, he would sleep like a pig, even if he was more excited than usual today, half an hour would be enough.
On his thirty-fourth birthday, Zhong Yue sat alone on the sofa in the living room, hoping that his baby son would fall asleep soon. He didn't even turn on the TV, and he couldn't watch it anyway, so he was panicking when he turned it on. I didn't read a book, I didn't even take a magazine or newspaper to pass the time, I just stared and waited.
The whole body was leaning back on the sofa, his hands crossed behind his head, his eyes staring at a certain place in front of him, and he felt a little regret in his heart. If it weren't for the fear that Tong En would refuse again, he tried his best to come up with the trick of celebrating his birthday at home, maybe they were sitting in a private room in a restaurant and enjoying the warm world of two people. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a little ashamed in his heart, feeling a little ashamed of his son. However, he did regret it a little, he had never wanted to be alone with Tong En for a while like he did today, even for a while.
Tonight's birthday dinner is him, but the protagonist should belong to Zhong Yuhao. Tong En was snatched by Yu Hao as soon as he entered the house, and the two of them didn't come down from the upper floor until the meal began, and throughout the dinner time, her attention was all on Yu Hao, and her real protagonist was completely ignored, almost not even a supporting role.
Thinking of this, Zhong Yue couldn't help laughing at himself, he actually ate his son's vinegar, Tong En and Yu Hao got along so well and so closely, he should be happy, why was he jealous? Thinking of his son's happy appearance tonight, Zhong Yue was relieved again, and it was time for his son's birthday today.
Although thinking like this, Zhong Yue always felt faintly unsteady in his heart, and this unsteady feeling began to occur when Tong En led Yuhao downstairs. He couldn't say why, but he felt that Tong En's eyes were a little erratic when he looked at him tonight, and now that he thought about it, that fluttering look never stayed on his face at all, and it always passed in a flash. This shows that she has something on her mind, and this matter is related to herself, thinking of Tong En's obvious abnormality that night a few days ago and avoiding herself these days, Zhong Yue suddenly felt a pang of irritability in his heart. He raised his eyes and looked at the wall clock on the wall, it was already past ten o'clock, could it be that Yuhao hadn't fallen asleep yet?
He got up from the couch, took two steps in the direction of the stairs and stopped, thought for a moment and turned back to sit down again.
The living room was silent, and the whole house was as if asleep.
Zhong Yue couldn't be quiet in his heart.
A slight sound of footsteps came from upstairs, and Zhong Yue turned back sharply to see Tong En walking down the stairs. The lights in the living room were very bright, but there was only one wall lamp upstairs, Tong En stood at the top of the stairs, the strong light contrast made Zhong Yue unable to see her expression clearly, she lowered her head and looked at the stairs under her feet very carefully, for fear of making too much noise, she went down step by step, and the focused appearance made Zhong Yue look out of her mind.
Finally walking down the last staircase, Tong En straightened his head, walked up to Zhong Yue who was in a trance, and reached out to shake it in front of his eyes.
"What do you think? So fascinating. ”
When she went downstairs just now, she knew that Zhong Yue's eyes had been following her, so she stared at the stairs under her feet more carefully, for fear that she would step on the air nervously.
Zhong Yue came back to his senses for a moment, hurriedly got up from the sofa, walked to Tong En, and looked at her eagerly, "What about you, why don't you come down, do you leave me and go back to the Immortal Palace?" ”
Tong En's heart skipped a beat, and his eyes dodged to the wall clock on the wall: "It's past ten o'clock?" Coaxed Yuhao to sleep, and accidentally took a nap by himself, who knew it would be so late. ”
Zhong Yue smiled, "I said why did Yu Hao sleep so slowly, it turned out that the fairy was asleep." Since you're sleepy like this, don't leave and stay here to sleep tonight, right? ”
Tong En's heartbeat suddenly stopped, and after a few seconds, he "bang, bang, bang, bang,
"I'm not sleepy anymore, I'm not sleepy at all."
Zhong Yue originally didn't mean anything else when he spoke, but his concern was too urgent, and when he saw Tong En's flustered tone and red-like face, his heart also jumped a few times.
"Shall we go to my study and sit down for a while? I'll send you back later. ”
"Okay."
It's so quiet, Tong En suppressed a pounding heart, and fell slightly behind Zhong Yue, his eyes were full of his tall figure. The whole house was so quiet that it seemed that there were only the two of them, and a subconscious tension made Tong En's muscles tense again.
"No, this is the study, can you visit?"
Pushing open the door of the study, Zhong Yue stood by the door with an expectant smile on his face. Tong En walked in front of him and tried to say in a relaxed tone: "Seeing that you are so solemn, this study must be very ......"
Big, too big.
Although I had a hunch that it would be relatively large, this study room was much more than Tong En expected in terms of area and luxury decoration. Before she could say the word "big", she was stunned by the grand, luxurious, and heavy momentum of the room, and she opened her mouth and looked in amazement at the luxuriously decorated room in front of her, the colonnade bookcase that occupied two walls, the treasure cabinet full of various collections, the large desk, the eighteenth-century European court-style sofa and the soft and comfortable chaise longue by the floor-to-ceiling window, each of which showed the special love of the owner of the house for this study.
"What? Doesn't it feel too big? Zhong Yue stood behind Tong En and looked at her expectedly, anyone who came to this study for the first time would feel this way.
"Yes, such a big study room, so luxuriously decorated, you must like this room very much, right?"
"I don't like it. Because I grew up in this house, I'm used to everything here, and for me, this room is just bigger than the others. When I was a kid, I didn't like going into this room the last thing because I had to listen to a lot of teachings every time I came in. Zhong Yue said with a smile.
"None of this was laid out by you?" Tong En looked at him in surprise.
"It's not. This study was designed by my grandfather, and until he passed away four years ago, he used to handle all kinds of things in this study, and everything here was arranged by him. After my grandfather passed away, I didn't want to continue using this study, but I thought it was too wasteful to have such a large room idle, so I continued to use it, but everything remained the same. ”
"I see, I wonder how you could be so Aeolian classical? It seems that your grandfather had a European eighteenth-century complex in his heart. Tong En couldn't help but say mischievously.
"Shhh There are gods three feet away. ”
Zhong Yue pretended to warn nervously, and stretched out his finger and pointed to the middle of the bookcase on the left.
Tong En was really nervous by his thoughtful expression, she pressed her heart and looked carefully in the direction pointed by Zhong Yue, and sure enough, on the shelf in the middle of the bookcase, there was a photo of an old man with a sixtieth birthday. Tong En walked over slowly, looking up at the eyes in the photo that seemed to see everything.
Zhong Yue walked behind Tong En, opened his arms and encircled her in his arms, put his chin against her sideburns and said, "This is my grandfather, don't be afraid, he is a kind-hearted old man." ”
Behind him was Zhong Yue's fiery chest, and his scorching breath was on his cheeks, and Tong En's nerves that had just relaxed instantly tensed again. The old man in front of him looked at them kindly, but the eyes that had gone through decades of life seemed to say, "Girl, I know who you are, don't forget your promise to me." ”
Tong En's eyes were moist, she leaned on Zhong Yue's chest weakly, and said silently in her heart, "I haven't forgotten, I haven't forgotten my promise." It was fate that brought me here, it was God who brought us back together, you are in heaven, you must have seen it, Zhong Yue and Yu Hao, they love me, they need me, please you, let's reunite! ”
The old man's eyes were silent, what did this silence mean?
Zhong Yue's fiery lips were imprinted on her sideburns, moving along her cheeks to her cheeks, and she asked softly, "What are you thinking?" ”
Looking at those silent eyes, Tong En murmured, "If your grandfather is still alive, will he agree to us being together?" ”
With his arms around her tighter, Zhong Yue raised his eyes to look at his grandfather's photo, "I will agree." ”
"Why?"
Looking down at one side of her cheek, she gently pressed her face up, "Because I like it." ”
"Really? Are you sure? ”
Zhong Yue felt an inexplicable suffocation in his heart, is it sure? A moment of hesitation made him lose time to answer. Tong En had already broken free of his embrace and turned to face him.
"Of course I'm sure." Zhong Yue said anxiously.
Tong En smiled stiffly, turned his face and looked at the photo on the cabinet again. Zhong Yue was anxious, grabbed her hand and said, "Tong En, grandfather has passed away, and he can't influence us. What's more, even if he is alive, he will definitely approve of us being together, because he has no reason to object. Tong En, these days, you have been hesitating, you are scared, right? Tell me what exactly you're afraid of? Are you not confident in yourself or not in me? ”
Can't it affect it? These eyes are clearly saying, "Tell him, tell him who you are, don't deceive him, let him choose." Do you have the courage? Do you have the courage to tell Zhong Yue who you are? Do you have the courage to tell Woo Ho who you are and why you left him? ”
No, I don't have the courage.
"I don't have confidence in myself." Tong En blurted out.
