Moonlight Moves You

Chapter 84: Try it

Views:

After coming out of the sanatorium, Su Xian took the initiative to invite Wen He to dinner. Wen He still insisted on his principle: "You treat me to dinner, but I must pay for it."

Su Xian didn't argue with him and agreed readily.

After getting in the car, Wen He was reluctant to start the car, and seemed a little absent-minded. Su Xian thought he was worried about the old lady's health. "I think the old lady is in good health. You don't have to worry too much. I will come to see her when I have time in the future."

"I'm not worried about that." Wen He explained: "Actually."

"You mean to say." In fact, I already knew it in my heart: "In fact, you asked me to come here just to make the old man feel at ease. You took advantage of me, do you feel embarrassed?"

That's exactly what I mean.

"You guessed it all. I can't help it. The old man keeps talking about these things whenever he sees me."

"Then you must hurry up and settle your lifelong affairs. As an impostor, I can only help you out in your immediate situation."

Wen He smiled thoughtfully, said nothing, and slowly stepped on the accelerator.

When they came out of the restaurant after dinner, it was already past two o'clock in the afternoon. They were thought to be two people who would not have much in common, but they actually chatted for a long time while eating. Perhaps it was because they had some similar experiences in the past, or perhaps Wen He had never caused any embarrassing situation to Su Xian.

They came out of the restaurant, Wen He went to get the car, and Su Xian stood at the door waiting for him. In order not to give the old man a bad impression, she specially wore a dignified and ladylike light blue suit today, revealing a pair of long legs wrapped in black stockings, which was particularly attractive. Facing the gazes of strangers, Su Xian was accustomed to it and could respond well to their covetous or envious eyes.

Among these gazes, there was one person's gaze, filled with confusion and resentment.

"Su Xian?"

Someone called her softly from behind. Su Xian turned around and saw Zhou Ling, the person who had been appearing in her phone calls all these years.

Next to Zhou Ling is Zuo Yueyao. The mother and son are in the same frame, instantly elevating the surrounding environment to a higher level.

Perhaps people who haven't seen Su Xian for many years, when they see her again, will probably ask questions with a rising tone, including Zhou Ling, because her impression of Su Xian is limited to that naughty but sensible little girl.

Su Xian was still kind and amiable, but she knew that there was a hint of alienation in those kind eyes. This alienation came from the entanglement between her and Zuo Yueyao, even if it was from the past.

"I didn't expect you to be so tall and beautiful now."

Su Xian was not moved by Zhou Ling's compliments, but thought to himself: I never thought that I would run into you in such a big city like Beicheng.

"Auntie Zhou." She called out in a very awkward way, "What a coincidence."

Zhou Ling smiled and said, "Today is Yue Yao's birthday, I came here specially to accompany him."

Birthday Is Zuo Yueyao's birthday today? After Su Xian pondered for a while, she realized that it seemed to be today! No wonder Zuo Yueyao wanted to have dinner with her a few days ago.

She said she had something to do over the weekend, but she didn't expect to be caught in the act, so she should avoid doing bad things. It's easy to choke to death when drinking water! But she also felt that everything had a first come first served basis. Why should she feel guilty for not going to Zuo Yueyao's appointment? There was no relationship between them.

Su Xian was struggling with this. Ever since he met Zuo Yueyao, he, who had always been decisive in doing things, was becoming less and less decisive!

"Happy birthday."

I really admire myself for being able to say such blessing words.

Zuo Yueyao said nothing, and responded to her perfunctory blessing with a cold look and a cold remark, "What are you doing here?" The tone of the question was like an interrogation of a prisoner. Even Zhou Ling was surprised, because her son would never behave so rudely in front of others.

"What else can this kid do here? Eat, of course." Zhou Ling reproached softly.

Perhaps he was feeling a little uneasy, Su Xian did not care about his attitude, instead he felt it was natural. Today's Zuo Yueyao was no longer the modest gentleman he used to be. There was a demon hidden in him that often caused trouble and would come out from time to time to stir up his emotions.

"With whom."

This is not a question, this is a question that must be answered. In front of Zhou Ling, Su Xian couldn't say anything like "It's none of your business", so he could only perfunctorily say: "With friends."

As soon as she said this, she felt something was wrong. What if he asked again, which friend? How should she answer

Sure enough! "With which friend?"

This chat requires some technical content!

Zhou Ling was somewhat dissatisfied with Zuo Yueyao's aggressiveness and called out softly, "Yueyao." to remind him to pay attention to his image. Zhou Ling attached great importance to Zuo Yueyao's image.

"You're not going to tell me that you came here dressed so beautifully to have dinner with a client."

Of course she wouldn't say that. Who would go to a restaurant like this to accompany a client for dinner? This restaurant wasn't actually chosen by her or Wen He. It was just that when they passed by, the waiter at the door was too enthusiastic. He offered them a discount for a meal for two and was eager to drag them into the store.

Faced with other people's enthusiasm, one can't just pour a bucket of cold water on it. Neither she nor Wen He are heartless people. Seeing the waiter's enthusiasm to make a living and the double discount, she went into the store. After sitting down, she found that after the double discount written on the sign, there was another line of words: A lifetime double meal.

It turns out that this couple is not that couple.

At this moment, the couple's sign was placed carelessly next to her and Zuo Yueyao. They could be seen as soon as they raised their eyes. It was so conspicuous that it couldn't be more conspicuous. There was also a big heart shape drawn next to it.

This is really killing me! Why didn't she see it when she came in? This feeling can't be washed away even if you jump into the Yellow River. It's really disgusting.

A soft call broke the brief silence. As Wen He approached, Su Xian's heart beat a little too fast.

Zuo Yueyao recognized Wen He, and of course, Wen He also recognized Zuo Yueyao. After the two men exchanged glances briefly, Wen He was the first to extend his hand in friendship: "Hello, long time no see."

Zuo Yueyao's hand was still not extended, which made Su Xian feel that he was being too arrogant. This feeling of trying to please someone coldly was really embarrassing.

But Wen He didn't care too much about whether it was embarrassing or not. He took his hand back generously and said to Su Xian: "I'll wait for you in the car."

Su Xian thought to himself: Why should I wait for her in the car? Could she stay here and have a detailed talk with the mother and son

Zhou Ling spoke before Su Xian: "Is this your boyfriend?"

Su Xian and Wen He were both stunned. With Zuo Yueyao's aggressive gaze, Zhou Ling slowly spoke: "I feel relieved that you have someone to take care of you in the future. You can tell at a glance that this guy is not someone who will do anything reckless. You have a quick temper, so you two should be more considerate of each other."

Zhou Ling's few words completely defined the relationship between them. Su Xian suddenly wanted to laugh. Her intention of laughing at Zhou Ling was too obvious. She just wanted to completely distance herself from Zuo Yueyao.

Indeed, Zhou Ling didn't want them to have any lingering feelings. The girl named He Xinwan was a good one. Moreover, Zuo Yueyao was already at the age of marriage, and being involved with Su Xian would only waste time.

Su Xian stopped Wen He who was about to explain. She put her hand on his wrist, and the gesture made Wen He shut up immediately and look at Su Xian calmly.

"Thank you Aunt Zhou for your concern. We will both be fine. If there is nothing else, we will leave first." Although she saw Zuo Yueyao's unhappiness, Su Xian still acted calm. In front of Zhou Ling, her self-esteem was being trampled on invisibly. Between saving her life and preserving her dignity, she chose the latter without hesitation.

Zhou Ling looked down on her, a girl from the countryside, and her concern for her was just out of sympathy. No matter how high her position was, it could not change the fact that her bloodline was impure. Perhaps in Zhou Ling's heart, she and her useless father were similar, as the saying goes, like father, like daughter.

She no longer looked at Zuo Yueyao, but straightened her back and pulled Wen He away. The pair of eyes behind her made her feel uneasy. Su Xian walked faster and faster, wishing she could grow wings and leave this dangerous place.

After walking a long way, Su Xian stopped and leaned against the wall, panting. Looking at Wen He who was confused, she could only smile bitterly: "You took advantage of me this morning, and now I take advantage of you. Now we are even."

Wen He wanted to say something, but he opened his mouth but didn't say anything. Seeing her uneasy look, he couldn't bear it: "Should I take you back, or should I take a walk first and wait for you to calm down?"

"go home."

Wen He sent Su Xian back home. This time, Su Xian had no intention of letting Wen He sit upstairs. He just said softly, "Thank you."

Wen He was worried: "Let me take you upstairs. I'll just watch you walk into the house and never go in. Okay?" His attitude was extremely serious. If she wasn't in a bad mood, she would really laugh at him for being like a child.

Not wanting to let him down, I agreed to his request: "Okay."

The elevator door opened, and Wen He got out of the elevator and stopped moving. Su Xian took two steps and looked back at him: "Why don't you come in and sit down."

Wen He still didn't move, just waved his hand, signaling her to go in quickly.

When she opened the door and was about to step in, Wen He's voice came again. This time, his tone was a little urgent, but hesitant.

"Su Xian."

Su Xian knew that he had something to say, and it might be something that would put her in a dilemma. But at this moment, seeing him struggling and hesitant, her heart softened. She wondered how his ex-girlfriend could have the heart to abandon such a pure man at heart.

"Between you and him"

This was the second time someone had asked her the same question in just a few days.

"You think too much." Or maybe she thought too much, "It's over between him and me a long time ago."

In order to live a normal life, the recent entanglements should be ended. It will be a good thing for both her and Zuo Yueyao.

"If, I say if" Wen He was too unconfident: "If there is no possibility between you and him, and you think I am worthy of you, can you consider it?"

"Have you considered giving it a try?" Su Xian finished the rest of the sentence for him.

After being stunned for a few seconds, Wen He nodded seriously: "Yes."

She rubbed her thumb on the door handle for a long time, her mind full of thoughts. At this time, another couple came out of another elevator. Su Xian recognized them as neighbors on the same floor. They smiled and nodded at her, and then looked at Wen He, who was a little restrained at the moment. Although she was curious, she was tactful enough not to stay for too long.

Ever since she moved here, the person of the opposite sex who comes in and out the most here is none other than Zuo Yueyao. Today, a new man came, and there is some indescribable ambiguity in this situation. It's no wonder that people are curious.

The person who didn't get an answer for a long time was annoyed that he shouldn't have been so reckless: "Sorry, just pretend I didn't say that just now."

"I heard it all, how can I pretend I didn't say it?"

Su Xian's words made Wen He not know what to do. It was not right to leave, nor was it right not to leave. While hesitating, he heard her say, "I think we can give it a try. It won't cost us a single piece of meat anyway. What do you think?"
