Tang Feifei fell into a deep sleep again. She was still sleeping soundly when Tang Yu finished his work.
The little head was resting on his legs, and because of the warmth, the little face was bright red and as fresh as a peach.
"Fei Fei." Tang Yu called her in a low voice, and used his long fingers to lift the messy hair on her cheek. The touch of her skin on his fingertips was as delicate as fragile petals, and he suddenly felt his fingertips burning hot.
"Hmm..." Tang Feifei was dazed and didn't open her eyes.
"Let's go home." He put his hand far away and no longer touched her casually.
"Hmm." She grumbled in her throat and climbed up lazily. Before she sat up straight, she hooked her hands around his neck again, and her little head tilted sleepily, pressing on his shoulder, rubbing against his neck twice like a kitten, "Brother, let me wake up from my sleepiness."
As she spoke, her warm and soft lips brushed against his earlobe.
The air around him seemed to be much thinner. Tang Yu could clearly smell the girl's gentle fragrance.
His eyes darkened a little, and after a while, he lifted her little head with his big hand, "Alright, get up, it's getting late."
Tang Feifei had to open her eyes.
Tang Yu brought her the coat beside him, his expression remained calm, "Put on your clothes. I'll just pack up, wait for me two minutes."
After saying that, he began to collect the documents on the coffee table without even looking at her from beginning to end. It was as if the little action just now had no effect on him.
Tang Feifei held the clothes, feeling a little disappointed.
She actually had some ulterior motives in doing those little actions just now, she just wanted to test his reaction.
If he was interested in me, even just a little bit, his reaction wouldn't be so indifferent.
Therefore, she couldn't even cause a ripple in his heart - he always treated her as just a sister.
Along the way, Tang Feifei was not very motivated. Tang Yu seemed tired as well and did not take the initiative to talk to her. The two of them drove quietly back to the villa.
When they got home, a light was still on in the villa and Yuan Qing opened the door for them personally.
"Mom, why haven't you slept yet?" Tang Yu asked.
"I was just talking to your dad!" Yuan Qing took the car keys from his hand, "You took Feifei to your place for a day?"
"Yeah." Tang Yu glanced at Tang Feifei.
She was still in a bad mood. She changed her shoes, called out "Mom" and went in.
Yuan Qing glanced at her back and asked in a low voice: "How is it? Does this girl really have a boyfriend?"
Tang Yu changed his slippers and walked inside. "He's a boy studying abroad in Beijing. I didn't agree with them dating."
"What's her attitude?"
"Normally. Didn't seem particularly positive."
Yuan Qing nodded, "She usually believes in you. If you say no, she probably won't care about it anymore."
She and her son walked side by side through the porch back into the villa's living room.
Tang Feifei was drinking water from her cup when she heard them chatting.
"Come back and stay here for a few days. Your father and I will be returning to Youcheng in a few days." Yuan Qing advised her.
Tang Feifei pretended to drink water, but her ears were perked up. If her brother was willing to come back and live with her, at least she could see him every day. It would be good to see him once.
However, Tang Yu said: "I happen to be going on a business trip tomorrow."
Tang Feifei's heart dropped after rising. She put down the cup and asked quietly, "Brother, how long will you be away on business?"
"Three to five days, depending on the situation over there." He looked at her and asked, "What's wrong?"
"…Nothing." Tang Feifei shook her head. With her mother around, she was afraid that her disappointment and reluctance would be revealed, so she immediately said, "Mom, I'm going upstairs to sleep."
"Go ahead." Yuan Qing waved his hand, glanced at the back, smiled and shook his head, "This little girl is still the same as when she was little, she likes to stick to you whenever she has the chance. I see, the look on her face just now shows that she can't bear to leave."
Tang Yu's expression was deep and inexplicable. He only sighed and said, "He is still a child who has not grown up."
"When she really gets a boyfriend someday, it will be impossible to get her to stick with you."
“… Yeah.” He looked upstairs and said nothing more.
The next day.
When Tang Feifei woke up, Tang Yu was no longer at home.
I really don’t know when I will see him again.
On the third day after Tang Yu left, Tang Feifei finally couldn't stand the torture of missing him. After much hesitation, she sent him a message: "Brother, Mom asked when you will be back."
After sending the message, she lay on the pillow, staring at the bright lights on the ceiling in a daze, hoping that he would reply to her message, but she was afraid that if she had high expectations, he would disappoint her in the end.
She didn't know how much time had passed, but when she was about to fall asleep, her cell phone rang.
Her heart skipped a beat, and she almost immediately fished out her phone from under her pillow. As she swiped the screen, the corners of her lips unconsciously raised.
"I'll be back the day after tomorrow. What's up?"
She put down her phone and waited for a while before replying:
It's okay. Bro, what are you doing
I had already prepared myself mentally that he would keep me waiting for a long time, but he was not slow in replying to this message.
—Just got back to the hotel and went to bed right away. You should go to bed early too, don't stay up so late for no reason.
Tang Feifei sighed and threw her phone on the bed. Her deep longing for him was frozen in her chest by his indifference, making her feel suffocated.
If missing someone is a disease, then she must be seriously ill.
Perhaps it was because of my depressed mood, the next day when my relatives came to visit me, I felt the most pain I had ever felt.
"Fei Fei." Yuan Qing came over and knocked on the door.
"Mom." She held her stomach and climbed out of bed.
"What's wrong with you?"
"Relatives just came." Tang Feifei rested her head on Yuan Qing's shoulder. Yuan Qing rubbed her and asked, "Are you feeling better?"
"Um."
"When you feel better, come downstairs and have breakfast. Your father and I will have to go out soon."
"Where are you going?" Tang Feifei sat up straight.
"Your dad and his friends have arranged to go out for some photography. They'll probably be gone for three or four days."
"You all left me behind." Tang Feifei said with a pitiful face, "You all don't want me, I'm all alone."
"Anyway, you're not alone. There are other servants at home! Besides, your brother will be home tomorrow. I told him not to go anywhere at night these few days and just come home to accompany you."
Tang Feifei felt more energetic after hearing her mother's words. But the next moment, she felt distressed and unsure, "Will he be willing to come back to accompany me?"
"What nonsense are you talking about? Your brother accompanies you, so who else will accompany you?"
Tang Feifei pursed her lips, not daring to let herself have any expectations. After all, Tang Yu's thoughts were really hard to guess.
