Five o'clock.
Mu Xiaoya, who was already packing up and getting off work, suddenly received a message from Bai Chuan, opened it, and she couldn't help but let out a strange yawn.
"What's wrong?" Fang Hui asked.
"Xiao Chuan said he was going to work overtime." Mu Xiaoya looked puzzled, she planned to pick up Bai Chuan from get off work later, and then find another place to spend the Qixi Festival.
"Isn't it, working overtime on the Qixi Festival? Didn't you remind him?" Fang Hui asked.
"No reminder... Xiaochuan never works overtime." A major feature of autism is that life is extremely regular.
"Then what's the situation?"
"Let me ask." Mu Xiaoya found Bai Zheng's WeChat and sent a message: Brother, Xiaochuan is going to work overtime today
Bai Zheng also seemed a little strange, and replied: I'll go take a look.
Five minutes later, after Bai Zheng checked it, he replied with another WeChat message: I have to work overtime, don't worry, I will arrange for the driver to take him back.
"It seems that you can only spend this Qixi Festival with me." Fang Hui said regretfully, leaning on Mu Xiaoya's shoulder.
Mu Xiaoya dropped her phone and lay down on the workstation with a disappointed face.
"Don't be sad, isn't it just a Qixi Festival, you haven't had one in the past twenty years or so." Fang Hui comforted.
"Can it be the same?" No one had been with her in the past 20 years. Now that she has a husband, she still can't be with her. Thinking about it, she feels depressed, "I gave him a gift in the morning, so I specially reminded him. Today is Tanabata, and he actually went to work overtime, idiot."
Isn't that a nerd? Moreover, he is not an ordinary sleeper. So far, he has never heard of autism being cured. Fang Hui only dared to spit out these words in her heart. Of course, she still had to work hard to appease her lost married woman friend.
"Okay, my sisters will accompany you on Qixi Festival, eat, go shopping, watch movies, and accompany you to the end. You can definitely make you happier than your husband."
"Let's go, I'll max out his card." Mu Xiaoya said angrily.
"I have to buy a house, otherwise it will be hard to blow up." Fang Hui teased.
Naturally, the two didn't go to buy a house. They went to eat together and strolled around the street for a while. In the end, they dispersed without buying anything. There is no other reason, just because Mu Xiaoya was absent-minded throughout the whole process, looking at her phone over and over again, Fang Hui saw her like this and simply let her go back, and then went to find love by herself. The more the days are like this, the more single men and women are in the bar. Today is a good time to hunt each other, and there is no need to worry about hunting people who already have boyfriends and girlfriends.
When Mu Xiaoya returned home, Bai Chuan still did not come back, but the rest of the Bai family were all in the living room.
"Xiaoya, I'm back." Li Rong saw Mu Xiaoya who was alone, with a hint of apology in her eyes. Today is Qixi Festival, that is, she and her husband are already old wives, and Bai Guoyu also gave her a gift. But Bai Chuan was working overtime on such an important day. Thinking of this, Li Rong couldn't help but glance at the other two men in the family.
"..." Bai Guoyu, who was stared at for the gift, felt a little aggrieved. Although he was the chairman of the board, he never interfered in the game company's affairs. To show his innocence, he and his daughter-in-law united the front and looked at Bai Zheng on the other side of the sofa together.
Bai Zheng got up calmly, left a message, I'm going back to the house, and left freely.
"Mom and dad, I'm going up too." Mu Xiaoya was indeed in a bad mood. After saying hello, she followed Bai Zheng and left.
"Look... how did you become the chairman of the board? On such an important day today, you let Xiaochuan work overtime?" Li Rong asked her husband.
"How do I know that I don't care about this game." Bai Guoyu explained, "Besides, Xiaochuan's character, if he wants to work overtime, even if I force him to leave work, he won't listen."
"...No matter, it's your fault anyway." Li Rong also knew that her husband was right, but as a woman, Li Rong understood Mu Xiaoya's mood better than them. What's more, for Mu Xiaoya, Bai Chuan's only advantage is that everything is centered on her. If there is no such advantage, what will Bai Chuan rely on to keep Mu Xiaoya
"Okay, okay, we're all big pig hooves." No one can compare to a woman in terms of being unreasonable, so he should be a big pig hoof quietly.
Back in the room, Mu Xiaoya was a little uncomfortable with the emptiness. It seems that since she and Bai Chuan got married, this is the first time that she has returned to this room alone. The servants of the Bai family are very dedicated and will clean their rooms with due diligence every day, but without Bai Chuan's company, this extremely tidy room looks a bit like a hotel.
Mu Xiaoya took out her mobile phone and sent a WeChat message to Bai Chuan: Xiaochuan, when are you coming back
Bai Chuan: I'll be back when I'm done.
Mu Xiaoya: Pay attention to your body, don't be too tired.
With a sigh, Mu Xiaoya put down the phone, turned around and went to the cloakroom, took the pajamas from the closet, and when she looked back, she saw the shoebox that was placed on the shelf like Baby Bai Chuan.
"I was so happy when I received the gift, but I didn't come home at night." Mu Xiaoya stared at the shoe box angrily, as if she was staring at Bai Chuan. Although there is some resentment, she actually knows better than anyone else that Bai Chuan is like this.
He has autism and is born with a low emotional intelligence. He cannot think and take care of many things. He will not understand your request, he will not be able to discover your hidden meaning, and he will not even repay your efforts. Before getting married, Mu Xiaoya had already prepared for these things. And it turns out that after getting married, Bai Chuan has performed very well.
He would hug her when she was crying, give her flowers the next day, and walk three hours to pick her up from get off work just to make a surprise. These are far beyond Mu Xiaoya's expectations, but sex is always more inflated than reason, and it is eager to ask for more.
"Wait for you to come back and see how I deal with you." After the harsh words, Mu Xiaoya felt a little better. She had already thought about it, when Bai Chuan came back, she must read to Bai Chuan every festival in the future, and let him keep in mind that overtime is not allowed on these festivals in the future.
Taking a shower, blowing her hair, watching a movie, Mu Xiaoya sat on the bed alone, and waited until eleven o'clock, and she still hadn't seen Bai Chuan come back.
"Why so late?" Dissatisfaction turned into anxiety, Mu Xiaoya couldn't help but called Bai Chuan with her mobile phone.
The phone was quickly connected, and without Mu Xiaoya asking, Bai Chuan spoke first: "I'll be done in ten minutes, and I'll be back before twelve o'clock."
"Can't we do it tomorrow?" Mu Xiaoya worried.
"No, it must be done today, you wait for me." After speaking, Bai Chuan took the initiative to hang up Mu Xiaoya for the first time.
At the same time, on the balcony on the third floor, Bai Zheng was also calling the special assistant Lu Yang: "Is Xiaochuan still in the company?"
"It's still there, but it's coming soon. Astro Boy said that Er Shao is already finishing up, and it is estimated that it will be finished soon." Lu Yang reported the report while drinking coffee.
"Send him back in person in a while, pay attention to safety."
"Yes." Lu Yang hung up the phone and went to get himself a cup of coffee with a wrinkled face, "I have to drink another cup to refresh myself."
Bai Chuan didn't come back, Mu Xiaoya didn't feel sleepy at all, she wrapped a blanket and sat on the balcony looking at the gate of the villa. Although she knew that Bai Chuan was still in the company at this time and would not be here for a while, but looking at it like this, she felt more at ease in her heart.
"Ding!"
The alert light of the phone lit up, Mu Xiaoya picked it up quickly, and saw Bai Chuan send a message: I'm back, wait for me.
"Wait, I'll sleep for you." Mu Xiaoya stood up angrily, walked back to the bedroom, and even lay on the bed for a while, but after tossing and turning for a while, she returned to the balcony honestly.
"I'm waiting, I'll let you come back to see me, I'm sorry." The wind in the summer night was cool and pleasant, with the smell of sunshine in the wind, which also dispelled the anxiety in Mu Xiaoya's heart. If only there was a plane tree here, and a swing was installed below, she could go to enjoy the shade.
It's already eleven forty-five, and if I don't come back, the Qixi Festival will be over.
Suddenly, a beam of light shot straight from the front, Mu Xiaoya narrowed her eyes and saw a car approaching the gate of the villa.
"Second Young Master, is Second Young Master back?" Uncle Li, who had been worried about Bai Chuan, hadn't slept yet when he saw the car hurriedly opening the door of the villa.
The car drove in, stopped, the rear door opened, Bai Chuan was holding something, got out of the car and hurried into the villa. Uncle Li, who diligently wanted to help in the past, didn't even have time to see Bai Chuan clearly.
"Second Young Master..."
"Uncle Li, I'll go back first." Lu Yang, who had completed the task, greeted Uncle Li with a smile, and then went back the same way. This Qixi Festival is the day when the Cowherd and Weaver Girl meet. He is just a magpie.
"Dong dong dong..." A series of footsteps were heard, heavy and urgent, Mu Xiaoya controlled her urge to go up, stood there, waiting for Bai Chuan to come in.
As soon as the door was pushed open, Bai Chuan saw Mu Xiaoya standing on the balcony at a glance.
"I'm back." Bai Chuan smiled, with a very happy smile, like a wanderer who had returned from a long trip and saw the lights at home.
"I'm back." Mu Xiaoya also smiled, all her resentments, all her plans, all those ideas that she wanted to make Bai Chuan look good were all disintegrated when she smiled at Bai Chuan.
"11:50." Bai Chuan walked in front of Mu Xiaoya, even panting.
"You also know that you came back late." It's too embarrassing to tell the time.
"Ten minutes left." Bai Chuan raised his hand and held the thing in his arms to Mu Xiaoya's eyes.
"AR glasses? Why did you bring these back?" Bai Chuan was holding a white AR eye in his hand, and the indicator light flashed a faint blue light.
"The Qixi Festival gift." Bai Chuan added, "I made it myself, it's unique."
"You... made it for me?" Mu Xiaoya suddenly couldn't breathe, could it be...
"Look, there are nine minutes left, seven minutes of the video, you can finish it." Bai Chuan anxiously helped Mu Xiaoya put on the AR glasses and pressed the power button.
The faint blue light emanated from the glasses, and Mu Xiaoya entered a whole new world in a halo.
