Chapter 382: The Haggard Side
I scanned the street outside the villa, and beside a tree in the dark, I saw a human figure in a trance.
But when I squinted and looked closely, the figure was hidden in the darkness.
My heart couldn't help but speed up, and I had a very strong intuition that the figure must be Li Yunzhou.
I turned around and went back inside, took out a coat from the closet, draped it over my body, and hurried downstairs out of the small courtyard of the villa.
I was in a hurry, looking around inquiringly.
"Li Yunzhou, is that you?" My voice was still a little gasping, and my eyes were looking around.
No one showed up, only the cold night breeze echoed me.
But it also made me more sure of my instincts.
I paused, steadied myself, and said word by word: "Li Yunzhou, I know it's you, do you plan to hide like this for the rest of your life and never see me again?" ”
As my words fell, there was a sudden sound of very soft footsteps behind me.
Before I could turn around, my waist suddenly tightened, and then my shoulders sank, and I suddenly froze, subconsciously trying to break free, but I was hugged harder.
Li Yunzhou's familiar voice sounded in my ears-
"Don't move! Let me hold it for a while, just for a while. Li Yunzhou's voice was pleading, which made my heart tremble.
His muffled voice whispered in my ear, "Ruan Shi, I miss you so much." ”
His sudden confession stunned me and my heart was in turmoil. I was silent and didn't respond.
His warm breath sprayed softly on the side of my neck, and he quietly hugged me for a long time.
I gently broke away from his hand and turned to face him, but I was shocked by Li Yunzhou's appearance at this moment.
He probably hadn't slept well for a long time, the dark circles under his eyes were very heavy, and the stubble that had not been shaved for a few days made him a little sloppy, and the whole person was a lot haggard.
The way he looks makes me feel distressed, "You...... You okay? ”
He smiled bitterly, let out a mixed sigh, and then a deep exhaustion: "This is finally over, and I can finally rest." ”
I was stunned for a moment, what Li Yunzhou said was the matter of the Li family or the bankruptcy of the Li Group?
My chest was pressed with doubts, and I asked directly: "Li Yunzhou, is the current situation really the result you want?" ”
Destroying the Li family and destroying the Li family with his own hands, he should be more tormented and miserable than anyone else, right?
Li Yunzhou chuckled and didn't answer me, but just reached out and wrapped my coat tightly for me.
He looked at me with dejected eyes, "None of that matters, you and Xixi are safe." ”
I pursed my lips and wanted to ask him about Jiang Jin and Cheng Jia, but before I could open my mouth, I saw that his eyelids were already fighting, and his body was staggering back.
"Eh-" I hurriedly grabbed him, Li Yunzhou's body was pulled by me like this, he leaned forward by inertia, and his chin fell on my shoulder.
I patted him on the back in the car, "You are a big man, you can't be so unproductive!" ”
Li Yunzhou's dull voice sounded: "I've been spinning for several days in a row, I'm very tired, don't be so stingy." ”
Although I don't know what kind of life he has been living these days, listening to his weak voice, I am finally soft-hearted.
"Then you can't just stand like this for a night, can you? I have great mercy to take you in for one night and take you to sleep. ”
With my support, Li Yunzhou and I staggered into the villa, I took him to the guest room, and helped him lie down, at this time his eyes were almost open.
"You can sleep well." I helped him take off his shoes, covered him with a quilt, and was about to leave, when he was suddenly grabbed by the wrist.
With a force on his arm, I fell into his arms unexpectedly, and the whole person pressed on him.
My face turned red and I wanted to get up on the bed, but his hand was firmly imprisoned around my waist, and I turned around, and I couldn't help but lie on the bed, held in his arms, in a very ambiguous posture.
He muttered, "Don't go...... Stay with me......"
He was already so sleepy that he was confused by this time, and after he said this weakly, I could clearly hear his heavy but even breathing.
How tired are you? Let him fall asleep so quickly.
I couldn't help but feel a little sorry for him, and gently tried to remove his hand from my waist, but I heard him snort in displeasure, and instead hugged me tighter.
I was completely helpless, and I was afraid that I would wake him up again if I made a big move, so I simply didn't move anymore, and just stayed overnight.
At dawn the next day, I felt the hand on my waist being removed, and I woke up instantly, and I looked at Li Yunzhou, who had just gotten up.
Li Yunzhou was a little guilty and flustered, "I woke you up, right?" ”
I shook my head, sat up, and leaned against the head of the bed, "I saw that you were so sleepy last night that you couldn't hold it anymore, and you kept holding me, I saw that you were too tired, so I didn't wake you up." ”
I explained the ambiguous sleeping position last night, and I didn't want Li Yunzhou to misunderstand my thoughts.
But I still saw a flash of loss in Li Yunzhou's eyes.
There was a subtle embarrassment in the atmosphere, and Li Yunzhou spoke in time: "You can sleep for a while, I'll take a bath." ”
There is a separate toilet in the guest room of the villa, and when I heard the sound of water coming from inside, I had long since lost my sleepiness.
I got up, walked to Su Yu's previous room, and opened the wardrobe, which contained Su Yu's various sets of big brands.
I grabbed a shirt and a suit and went back to my room and placed them on the cabinet in the bathroom door.
I knocked on the door, and the sound of water inside stopped.
"I took Su Yu's clothes to you, on the cabinet outside."
"Okay."
Li Yunzhou was not taboo about this, and when he came out of the shower, he had already changed into Su Yu's shirt.
The placket of his shirt was open, revealing well-defined abs, and he walked towards me unconsciously buttoned it.
I awkwardly avoided my gaze, took a new towel and handed it to him, and pointed to the hair dryer on the table, "You can clean up and go downstairs for breakfast." ”
With that, I hurriedly exited the room and closed the door by the way.
It was still early, Xixi was still asleep, and when she went downstairs, the maid Sister-in-law Chen had already put breakfast on the table and was taking off her apron to go out.
"The food in the market in the morning is the freshest, you and Xixi eat slowly, and I'll go grocery shopping."
Since I said that I have a bad stomach, Sister-in-law Chen has been more worried about her daily diet, and she goes to the market early in the morning to buy vegetables, for fear that Xixi and I will get sick and uncomfortable when we eat stale vegetables.
I handed this month's food and salary to Sister-in-law Chen, "Sister-in-law Chen, you have worked hard during this time, and you are worried about everything in the family thanks to you." ”
"Don't be so polite, that's what I'm supposed to do." Sister-in-law Chen took the two envelopes, obviously felt the difference in thickness, and looked at me in a daze.
I doubled the cost of food and her salary.
"I see you taking care of me and Xixi, I've been at home for so long, and I also treat you as family, this salary should have risen a long time ago."
