"Can't go back?" Song Zhixing was a little surprised. None of them had thought of staying outside today.
"It's raining heavily outside, and there are no cars going into the city right now. And our clothes are not dry yet. I don't mind, but you two girls... can't take a night train dressed like this."
What Xi Nan said made sense. Besides, the heavy rain outside didn't look like it would stop for a while.
"Call home and tell them, then wash up and come out for dinner. The fish you caught has been cooked."
Song Zhixing nodded. Xi Nan was a very gentlemanly man, and he did not stay outside their room for long, but went to the restaurant first.
Song Zhixing closed the door, and Chen Cheng woke up. Rubbing his eyes, he sat up from the quilt and asked, "What's wrong?"
"We can't go back tonight. It's raining heavily outside!"
Chen Cheng glanced toward the window and said, "Then I have to call my mother right away to let her know. You should also call her right away to let her know so that her family won't worry."
Song Zhixing called Sister Li, but of course he didn't dare to say that he was staying overnight outside, so he could only say that he was at his aunt's house. Fortunately, Sister Li didn't suspect much.
She had just hung up when her cell phone rang again. When Song Zhixing saw the two words flashing on the screen, she felt a little dazed.
If I'm not mistaken, this is already the third day...
This was the first time he had called her since that day with Xi Nan, when she had been the first to hang up on him.
"Xingxing, your second uncle!" Seeing her in a daze, Chen Cheng gently nudged her with his elbow.
Song Zhixing was a little nervous. If he knew that he was outside at this moment, he would definitely be furious.
She signaled Chen Cheng not to make a sound. After the phone rang several times and she had prepared herself mentally, she picked up the phone and put it to her ear.
"Where?" Tang Yu still spoke in a calm tone, with no emotion in his voice. However, Song Zhixing could also hear the deep exhaustion in his tone.
He must have had a very hard time during this period!
Song Zhixing wanted to ask, but after moving his lips, he couldn't say a word of concern. He just lied and said, "At my aunt's place."
He must have called the villa and found out that she was not at home.
"I'll ask Lao Mo to pick you up."
"No need, Second Uncle." Song Zhixing said hurriedly, but was afraid that his tone was too anxious and would expose himself. He slowed down his breathing and said, "Don't bother Uncle Mo. It's raining heavily outside and the visibility is poor when driving."
Tang Yu didn't say anything for a while. Song Zhixing couldn't figure out what he meant and was so nervous that his heart was in his throat.
But, fortunately, in the end, Tang Yu just said "hmm", which was considered to be in line with her. Song Zhixing breathed a sigh of relief, "Then second uncle, I won't talk to you for now. I have to go to dinner with my aunt. I'm so hungry."
"Go ahead." Tang Yu didn't bother her anymore.

After hanging up the phone, Tang Yu and his group came out of the airport with their luggage. There were already several cars waiting at the airport gate. When they saw them coming out, the driver quickly came over with an umbrella.
"Second Master, are we going back to the villa directly?" the driver asked as he opened the car door for him.
The team had been busy day and night in Country S these days, and they had hardly slept. Tang Yu and several others had bloodshot eyes. He was so tired that he could fall asleep almost as soon as he touched the bed.
He threw himself into the car, pressed his brows tiredly, and waited until the car started, and then ordered in a deep voice: "Go to Xiyue Lake District."
The driver didn't ask any questions and just did as he was told.
Tang Yu looked at the heavy rain outside the window. He was obviously very tired, but he still hoped to see the little girl as soon as possible. It was only a few days, but it felt like half a century had passed.
What about that little girl? Have you thought about him these days? I'm afraid not.
He hadn't called her once in the past few days. He had hoped that maybe the little girl would come to him on her own initiative, even just once.
However, she disappointed him again...
She would always make his expectations of her become a luxury.
Tang Yu smiled bitterly. In this life, he was probably really going to fall into the hands of this heartless little girl. Even if he was disappointed many times, he couldn't get away from it.
Car, drive all the way.
After about an hour, the driver stopped the car. "Second Master, is this the place?"
"Yeah." Tang Yu opened his eyes. The car had already stopped at the neighborhood where Li Hanyan lived. "Wait for me in the car, I'll be down soon."
"Yes, Second Master." The driver responded and was waiting outside the car with an umbrella.
In the rainstorm at night, Tang Yu walked towards the elevator with heavy steps. Dusty and exhausted, he came to pick up his beloved little woman to go home. He no longer expected how surprised the little thing would be when she saw him, he just hoped that she would not be frightened.
Arriving at the door of Li Hanyan's apartment, Tang Yu pressed the doorbell.
"Who is it?" Li Hanyan's voice came, and then the door was opened. Li Hanyan stood at the door and saw Tang Yu, as if she couldn't believe it. She was stunned and didn't react for a long time.
"What's wrong?" Tang Yu asked in a low voice.
Li Hanyan came back to her senses and realized that this person was really standing at her door. It was not an illusion. She smiled and regained her usual composure. "I just didn't expect you to come here so suddenly. I thought it was an illusion. Come in first. I'll boil some water and make tea for you."
Li Hanyan squatted down and took out a pair of men's slippers and placed them in front of him. The slippers were new and just the right size for him.
She had prepared this pair of shoes here since the first day she came to Youcheng. She was expecting Tang Yu to appear in the house where she lived one day, but he never came.
until today…
Li Hanyan was very happy. "I bought your favorite tea. Since you are here, try it."
Tang Yu looked at the eager figure, then lowered his head to glance at the new pair of slippers, bent over to put them back into the shoe cabinet, and said calmly: "You don't have to worry, I'll leave right away."
Li Hanyan was stunned and looked back at him, but saw that the slippers had been put away, and disappointment appeared in her eyes.
"... You don't even want to drink tea?" She was still expectant, and Tang Yu understood. However, he was unwilling to give any response that would cause her to misunderstand.
Li Hanyan actually always understood his attitude.
Tang Yu put his hands in his pockets and didn't take a step forward. "I'll pick up Xingxing and leave. You call her out."
My heart sank again and again.
Li Hanyan suddenly felt that her eagerness seemed particularly ridiculous.
Perhaps, what connected her and Tang Yu was not the insignificant engagement, but the star.
"… She's not here with me." Li Hanyan said weakly.
Tang Yu seemed to be confused, frowning and staring at her. If he wasn't here, then where else could he be
"She was playing outside with her classmates. They said it was going to rain heavily tonight and they couldn't come back. I agreed. It's not safe to come back so late." Li Hanyan didn't hide anything from Tang Yu. Who is he? There's no way she could hide it from him in this situation.
