Chapter 224: A Sudden Change
"Mom, I'm full."
After dinner, Xu Ke put down the dishes and chopsticks in his hand, and got up to clean up his things after speaking.
Liu Mei, who was on the other side of the table, had just finished half of her meal, and when she saw Xu Ke looking in a hurry, she hurriedly asked, "So anxious?" ”
"Ah...... It's not in a hurry, after all, I'm working in someone's house now......"
Xu Ke said while absentmindedly packing up her things, she stayed at home for a day today, Liu Mei didn't go to work, the mother and daughter parted for a while, and they got along very warmly at the end of the day.
During the period, it was inevitable to mention Xu Ke's recent affairs in Qin Luo's house, of course Xu Ke did not say anything about being humiliated and oppressed by Yao Yanyan in various ways, although Xu Ke had a grudge against this at first, but after a long time, he got used to it, and even now he can't say how much he hates Yao Yanyan.
Especially now that she has decided not to interfere in the relationship between Qin Luo and Yao Yanyan, she just wants to accompany Qin Luo more when conditions permit, so when she mentions things at Qin Luo's house with her mother, she just picks some happy things to say, so as not to make her mother worried.
Liu Mei was devoted to her daughter, and when she saw that Xu Ke had not suffered any grievances over there, she was naturally happy in her heart, but looking at Xu Ke like this, she also knew that although the relationship between Xu Ke and Qin Luo showed signs of repair, it was obviously impossible to reunite after breaking the mirror.
Because of this, she couldn't help but sigh when she saw her daughter wanting to rush back after eating hastily.
"Keke, how are Qin Luo and Yanyan doing?" Liu Mei asked tentatively, in fact, what she wanted to ask was, of course, whether there was any progress between her daughter and Qin Luo.
Xu Ke also knew what his mother meant, but he didn't know how to answer this.
After all, although she and Qin Luo got along well during this time, they felt like friends with each other at most, and the only intimate memory was the time when Xu Ke kissed Qin Luo while he was drinking before he became Qin Luo's nanny.
It's a pity that Qin Luo didn't show any emotional fluctuations at that time, which also made Xu Ke feel very sad, and it was also after that night that Xu Ke was determined to stay by Qin Luo's side and snatch him back from Yao Yanyan.
However, just a month has passed, and the change in mentality has made Xu Ke unable to raise this momentum.
"They're ...... It's good," Xu Ke replied casually.
Liu Mei hesitated a little when she heard this: "That...... Then you and him ......"
Xu Ke shook his head and interrupted: "Forget it, Mom, I don't want that, as long as Qin Luo can have a good time, I will be very happy." ”
As soon as she heard this, Liu Mei sighed helplessly, and her eyes were full of distress when she looked at her daughter.
The daughter who was obedient to her in the past has now grown up and has her own independent personality and way of thinking.
The first time she noticed this, it was on the day of the school celebration party, and Liu Mei couldn't accept it at that time, because of the distorted desire for control and love for her daughter, she couldn't accept the existence of someone more important than herself in her daughter's heart.
But her daughter's reaction at that time was too strong, so that Liu Mei had no way not to compromise, and so much time had passed, and Liu Mei had already calmed down.
From forcibly separating the two at the beginning, to not interfering in her daughter's feelings later, and now, she already wants to promote Xu Ke and Qin Luo.
But God doesn't fulfill people's wishes, Qin Luo and Yao Yanyan's relationship seems to be very good, although her daughter also lives in Qin Luo's house in the name of a nanny, there seems to be no progress between the two.
However, Liu Mei saw that Xu Ke no longer seemed to be as stubborn as before and wanted to recover Qin Luo, she still liked Qin Luo, but it was no longer as extreme as before.
The current Xu Ke only hopes that Qin Luo can live well, but ...... Except for Liu Mei, who is a mother, who can be considerate of whether Xu Ke feels good in his heart?
As soon as she thought of this, Liu Mei felt a little uncontrollable heartache.
She put down the dishes and chopsticks, walked behind Xu Ke step by step, gently held him in her arms, and muttered a little sadly: "Silly daughter......"
Xu Ke could feel his mother's heart from this warm embrace and simple three words, and while his heart was warm, he also felt that his nose was a little sour.
However, she endured it and didn't let her emotions show too obviously, just patted her mother's hand around her waist, and said with a smile: "It's okay Mom, it's good to be like this now, I'm not sad." ”
"So what are you going to do in the future? Just guarding Qin Luo like this? What if he never broke up with Yeon-yeon? ”
"That's fine, as long as he's doing well, as for me...... I'll talk about that later. ”
After speaking, Xu Ke picked up his small bag, turned to Liu Mei and said, "I'll go first, Mom, while it's still early, I guess Qin Luo hasn't eaten yet, and I should be able to help him cook dinner when I go back now." ”
Hearing this, Liu Mei also had mixed feelings in her heart, and in the end, a thousand words could only turn into a sigh of pity: "Silly daughter......"
Xu Ke smiled and hugged his mother, then left the house with his bag, and before leaving, he didn't forget to turn around and wave his hand to Liu Mei: "I'll go first, Mom, bye." ”
After speaking, Xu Ke closed the door, trotted out of the community all the way, and then took a taxi straight to Qin Luo's house.
"There are still a lot of dishes in the refrigerator, so it's no problem to make three dishes and one soup...... But it's almost eight o'clock now, if Qin Luo hadn't cooked, he and Yanyan should have gone out to eat...... Forget it, let's talk about it when we get home. ”
Xu Ke muttered to himself, and after arriving at his destination, he trotted all the way back to Qin Luo's house.
Type in your fingerprints, push the door and enter, and the room is pitch black.
"It's going out to eat......
Xu Ke thought so, and was about to turn on the light first, but found that there was a little light on the sofa in the living room.
The light emanated from the screen of the mobile phone, reflecting Qin Luo's face that seemed inexplicably silent.
Xu Ke blinked and said hello: "Qin Luo." ”
Qin Luo in the living room didn't seem to hear the sound, he didn't react at all, and he was still staring at his phone in a daze.
Xu Ke frowned when he saw this, and then walked into the house and pressed the light switch.
The moment the lights were turned on, the originally dark room was suddenly covered with light, and Xu Ke also saw Qin Luo lying on the sofa alone, but he didn't see Yao Yanyan's figure.
At this time, Qin Luo was staring at the phone a little distracted, and he didn't know what he was looking at, and he didn't react even when the lights were turned on, and his expressionless and stunned appearance made him look a little different from usual.
Seeing this, Xu Ke raised his voice slightly and shouted again: "Qin Luo? ”
"Huh?" Qin Luo finally reacted this time, he took his eyes off the chat box on his phone, and then looked at Xu Ke, with a soft smile as usual on his face: "Coming back so early?" Why didn't you spend more time with your mother at home? ”
When sending Xu Ke home in the morning, Qin Luo said that Xu Ke would stay at home for one night tonight, Xu Ke also planned to do so at that time, after all, she had been living in Qin Luo's house during this time, and she hadn't been close to her mother for a long time.
Although there was a slight gap between mother and daughter because of the school celebration before, the family relationship that blood is thicker than water is not so easy to crack, Xu Ke can feel his mother's meticulous love for him, and he has already forgiven his mother for what he did, so the relationship between mother and daughter is still very good, and Xu Ke also wants to sleep with his mother at home tonight.
It's just that for some reason, the longer he stays at home, the more Xu Ke thinks about Qin Luo in his heart.
It's not that she can't let go of Qin Luo - although she has loved Qin Luo to the point of hopelessness, she won't miss it after just one day of separation.
The reason why he was a little restless was because of Qin Luo's performance in the breakfast shop in the morning.
He didn't admit to the little girl that he and Yao Yanyan were a couple, which seemed to be just a small thing, but after experiencing the events at the school celebration, Xu Ke knew that Qin Luo was a very delicate person.
He may not take this matter to heart, after all, he is supportive of Yao Yanyan's debut as a star, and he must have been mentally prepared before this, but in Xu Ke's opinion, Qin Luo will definitely not feel too good in his heart, so she wants to come back to accompany Qin Luo as soon as possible.
Of course, she also knew that she was a bit redundant, after all, she was just a nanny now, and Qin Luo was accompanied by Yao Yanyan, who was his girlfriend.
No matter what kind of mood Qin Luo was in the morning, as long as the two of them got together again and got tired of it, they would definitely be happy - Xu Ke knew this, but she still came back.
It's just that she didn't expect that when she came back, she saw Qin Luo alone, but Yao Yanyan didn't know where she went.
It stands to reason that she usually goes home early at this point...... Thinking so, Xu Ke said to Qin Luo with a smile: "Well, after all, the summer vacation is almost over, and you can go home whenever you want...... Anyway, hasn't Yeon-yeon come back yet? ”
The meaning that Xu Ke wanted to express was naturally that there was not much time left to stay here, and Qin Luo could understand it, but he didn't care, he just responded casually: "She has a commercial performance tonight, she went to Suzhou, and she is estimated to come back later." ”
"That's right," Xu Ke nodded, not surprised.
After all, Yao Yanyan made her official debut yesterday, and she had already gained a lot of popularity on the first stage, Xu Ke didn't know much about the entertainment industry, but she also knew that if a newcomer wanted to get ahead, he must seize every opportunity to continuously improve his popularity.
At present, Yao Yanyan has already risen to the wind, of course, she will not let go of those opportunities that can increase her fame and worth, so there will definitely be more situations like today's in the future, in addition to commercial performances, there should be commercials or something, plus she has to participate in the show...... In this way, wouldn't I have more opportunities to be alone with Qin Luo in the future?
Thinking of this, Xu Ke felt happy in his heart, but after thinking about it, there have been many opportunities for him and Qin Luo to be alone in the past month, but the two have never had anything to do, normal chatting and interaction are not counted, but of course Xu Ke wants more than that, coupled with the change in her mentality, whether this opportunity to be alone seems to be so important, so the feeling of joy in her heart has been diluted.
"Did you have dinner? If I don't eat it, I'll do it now, what would you like to eat? ”
Xu Ke said as he took down his small bag and wanted to go to the kitchen to prepare dinner for Qin Luo.
After hearing this, Qin Luo shook his head: "No need, I'll do it later, Yanyan is busy during this time, I'll go stew pot soup later, and wait for her to come back to help her make up for herself." ”
Hearing this, Xu Ke pursed his lips, but after all, he didn't say anything, nodded and went back to his bedroom.
As a result, Qin Luo was the only one left in the living room.
He returned his gaze to his phone, which was a chat between him and Yao Yanyan.
8:40 a.m
"Yeonyan, I'm in your company, come here to talk about something, if you have anything you want to drink or eat, I'll bring it for you."
"Why don't you speak? Are you busy?"
"I'm practicing singing just now, it's hard work, I'll go first, go home early in the evening, don't be too tired."
These messages were sent to Yao Yanyan by Qin Luo when he went to Shao Hong Entertainment in the morning, at that time, Qin Luo always felt that Yao Yanyan was not in the right state when she left in the morning, and wanted to go up to see her, but Yao Yanyan never replied to the message.
So Qin Luo took the elevator directly to the 25th floor, but he was afraid that Yao Yanyan might be busy, so it was not good to go over and disturb casually, and then he met Shao Xinxin, and after some conversation, the two came to the singing room, and Qin Luo saw Yao Yanyan's dejected appearance in the house.
After knowing each other for so long, Qin Luo saw Yao Yanyan's appearance for the first time, combined with Yao Yanyan's appearance in the morning, saying that she had nothing in her heart was fake.
Qin Luo wanted to push the door in and ask Yao Yanyan what was wrong, but Yao Yanyan waved his hand to signal him to leave.
Is it because you want to be quiet? Or are you really practicing singing and can't get out of your body? Or just don't want to talk?
Qin Luo didn't know what was wrong with Yao Yanyan, but it was the first time that Yao Yanyan had made such a gesture to him since they had been together for so long.
Of course, Qin Luo also felt that he might be a little sensitive, so he didn't say much, just thinking that he would reply to the message after Yao Yanyan finished practicing, or wait for her to come back in the evening and ask her if something was wrong.
And when Yao Yanyan came back to the news, it was already three o'clock in the afternoon.
"I have to practice the song before the next show, and I may be busy during this time, so I didn't talk to you at that time."
"I'm going to Suzhou in the afternoon to attend a commercial performance, so you don't have to wait for me to eat in the evening."
These were the two messages that Yao Yanyan sent back, and then Qin Luo replied with two messages, one was to reassure her not to be too nervous, and the other was to ask her if she had anything on her mind, but until now Yao Yanyan has not replied to the news.
Since the two became a couple, they have stayed together most of the time, although Yao Yanyan will go to the company every day to practice singing and dancing during this time, but Qin Luo basically replies in seconds every time she sends her a message, and if she doesn't reply in seconds, she will reply as soon as she sees the message, and she will explain what she just did, and she will often send messages to Qin Luo, and she will also call voice and video or something when she is free.
Compared with before, Yao Yanyan's performance towards Qin Luo today is enough to be described by the word "cold".
Qin Luo was reluctant to associate something through this phenomenon, after all, the two had always had a good relationship before, and they had never quarreled or anything, and neither party had made any principled mistakes, so it was impossible to say that they suddenly changed their attitudes without being cold.
He only felt that Yao Yanyan was under pressure after her successful debut, so she was mentally nervous - this is a normal phenomenon, just like an author who wrote a book, when he first wrote it, he was looking forward to someone reading it, and some people were looking forward to the results, and when the results really came out, he was thinking about how to stabilize them.
People will not remain the same on the road of growth, now Yao Yanyan is no longer a simple student, she is already a young artist who has officially debuted, she is walking on her own path, in order to be able to fulfill her childhood dream, it is normal for her to be under pressure, Qin Luo also understands this.
So he blamed the inexplicable mood of the day on his own for being too sensitive, after all, the two of them had been like glue before, and it was indeed a little uncomfortable to come so coldly.
But this is not a problem, although Yao Yanyan did not reply, but Qin Luo and Shao Xinxin inquired about the situation, according to Shao Xinxin, the magic capital is not far from Suzhou, they went to participate in the event in the afternoon, and they can get it before ten o'clock at the latest, and if nothing else, they will rush back overnight after the event.
Qin Luo thought that when Yao Yanyan came back in the evening, he would stew her a pot of soup, talk to her about today's work, help her relieve her tense nerves, and finally hug her together and sleep together, and there would be nothing to do.
However, the idea is good, but the reality is always against people.
Time passed minute by minute, and Qin Luo stayed alone in the living room and waited quietly.
Xu Ke also came out a few times during this period, and she wanted to chat with Qin Luo or something, but as soon as she saw Qin Luo sitting on the sofa in a daze, she knew that he must be thinking about Yao Yanyan in his heart, so he didn't say anything after all.
When it was close to half past ten, Xu Ke walked out of the bedroom again.
At this time, she had just finished taking a shower and changed into her pajamas, her hair had not yet been dried, and she had only wrapped her hair in a towel, and a few strands of silky hair slid down her sideburns, hanging down on her jade collarbone, and also smeared a damp on her fair skin.
Seeing that Qin Luo was still in the same posture on the sofa as he was two hours ago, Xu Ke frowned and asked, "Hasn't Yanyan come back yet?" ”
Qin Luo heard the voice, glanced back at her, thought for a while and said, "I should be back soon, just go stew a soup now, the longer this thing is stewed, the more fragrant it will be, just wait for her to come back and eat it." ”
Qin Luo said that he was about to get up and go to the kitchen, but Xu Ke couldn't help but purse his mouth again.
Qin Luo's appearance full of Yao Yanyan really made her a little uncomfortable, especially since she had just come out of the bath now, and it stands to reason that it was the most delicate and moving time for a girl - this is what Xu Ke saw from the Internet, saying that the most handsome appearance of a man is when he works seriously, and the most beautiful appearance of a woman is when he has just come out of the bath.
It's a pity that this wave of eyebrows and eyes was thrown to the blind man, but Qin Luo didn't react at all.
However, even though he had a lot of feelings in his heart, Xu Ke still wanted to be by Qin Luo's side, and when he saw Qin Luo get up and go to the kitchen, he said, "I'll help you do it." ”
When Qin Luo heard this, he was about to ask Xu Ke to go back to his room early to rest, but the mobile phone that had been on the coffee table suddenly heard the sound of voice chat.
The moment he heard this movement, Qin Luo, who had just gotten up to go to the kitchen, paused, then turned back to the coffee table and picked up his mobile phone.
Just as he had hoped, it was a call from Yao Yanyan.
Qin Luo breathed a sigh of relief slightly, then showed a relaxed smile, and raised his hand to press it down.
