When Yu Sichun woke up, he looked up at the alarm clock on the table. It showed that it was 5:30. Thinking that it was time for Du Jiayi to come back, he immediately stood up, but fell back to his seat due to leg numbness.
Looking up, I saw Du Jiayi in a white shirt sitting on the sofa flipping through documents, standing up while holding the table and saying, "You're back, I'll cook."
"No, after I made it just now, it was warm in the pot, let's eat."
Du Jiayi put away the documents and walked out first. Yu Sichun followed closely behind him, feeling a little weak because he had slept for too long.
"The food in the refrigerator is almost finished, let's go out and buy some later." As he said, Du Jiayi opened the stool and sat down.
Yu Sichun went to the kitchen to bring out the food and put it on the table. She always knew he could cook, but he rarely did.
I heard that he lived abroad with his grandfather when he was a child, and then moved back to China.
He has the alienation and demeanor of a British gentleman. Although he has a faint smile on his face, it doesn't make people feel easy to get close to.
The two finished their meal in silence. Yu Sichun took the tableware to the kitchen to wash, and Du Jiayi followed, rolled up his sleeves, and said, "I'll do the washing, you just wipe it with a towel."
"En." Yu Sichun nodded.
"Sisi." Du Jiayi called out suddenly.
Yu Sichun lowered his head and didn't know what he was thinking, when he suddenly heard Du Jiayi's voice calling her, he was a little dazed, and it took him a while to react.
"What's wrong?" Yu Sichun asked.
"What major did you study in college?" Du Jiayi asked with a smile.
"Well, international relations." Yu Sichun pursed his lips and replied.
"Oh, really? I thought you were a German major?" Du Jiayi replied with a light smile, his voice was very pleasant.
The laughter is light, reminiscent of the hero of "Casablanca".
"Really?" Yu Sichun asked lightly, she didn't really want to talk about this.
She knew that Du Jiayi had read the articles she translated, and remembering her feelings when she saw those articles, she suddenly felt a little panicked.
But exactly what she was afraid of, she couldn't tell. I just feel that this kind of relationship seems to have reached the best, and the relationship between him and her has also reached the best. If there is any change, it must be separated, and she doesn't want to change any more.
It's not that she can't live without him, but with him by her side, even if he has no love for her. She also still feels happy.
The humble flowers are always waiting for the dew, for when the rain comes they die.
Thinking of this, he suddenly felt that he was really cheap, bit his lip, and didn't explain anything.
"Does Sisi Xue International Relations plan to become a diplomat in the future?"
"No."
She lied, not knowing why, but her reason told her that they should not continue this topic.
"What do Sisi's parents do?"
But Du Jiayi didn't intend to stop, as if he couldn't feel Yu Sichun's reluctance, he still talked on his own.
"Jiayi," Yu Sichun stopped wiping the bowl, closed his eyes wearily, and opened them again, "You seem to talk a lot today."
Du Jiayi paused, and then said, "Is it okay to care about you?"
Then don't ask me any more, okay
Yu Sichun wanted to yell at him like this, but she still didn't make a sound. Their feelings couldn't stand the waves, so she chose to keep silent and escape.
"Let's go out to buy vegetables after washing."
Yu Sichun put the wiped bowl into the disinfection cabinet, turned around and walked out of the kitchen, and went to the bedroom to change clothes.
Ten minutes later, she came out of the bedroom. She wore a long cotton dress with a pure white coat, and her long hair was loose, looking very gentle.
"Ok?"
Yu Sichun was in a daze when he heard Du Jiayi's gentle voice.
Du Jiayi is a master negotiator, he has long been accustomed to this method of retreating to advance, but Yu Sichun did not expect that one day he would use this method on her.
At this moment, she felt ice-cold all over her body, as if she had fallen into a cold river, and no one could see her. She could not be redeemed, and no one could help her. She only felt her limbs were stiff, and she would sink in the next moment.
She looked up at Du Jiayi who was only ten steps away from her, and she didn't understand why he was so abnormal.
It was pretty good before, right
Why do we have to pursue so much
Does what kind of future he chooses have anything to do with what reality looks like
Can't they just stay the same forever
Even if he saw the words she ticked, so what
It was a fact that he didn't love her, and she said that she shouldn't make it clear.
Then he can also pretend that he didn't see it, can't he
Why is it like this
"Um."
But she didn't say anything, she just responded quietly.
Their apartment in the supermarket was not far away, and Du Jiayi was almost the one talking along the way, and Yu Sichun only gave an occasional "hmm" to show that he was listening.
Of course Du Jiayi knew what Yu Sichun was thinking, he didn't know what his current behavior was, but they were husband and wife, couldn't he understand her? Was he so resistant to him coming into her life
The two people with different hearts kept walking. The ten-minute journey on weekdays was extraordinarily long today. Du Jiayi was originally not good at talking. After talking for a while, he felt that he had nothing to say, so he kept silent.
Yu Sichun first walked to the vegetable area, picked some vegetables, and went to look for honey. Du Jiayi didn't look at the label, and put a bottle in his hand, and Yu Sichun picked it out behind him.
"Is there a problem? Is honey bad?"
"Not very good."
"Then why not?" Du Jiayi was a little confused.
Too expensive because it's so good. Yu Sichun didn't say this, just shook his head without changing.
"Can't we afford it?"
Du Jiayi glanced at the price - 1080, it is affordable.
But he didn't say anything, he just thought that since Yu Sichun chose this way, maybe it was really bad.
Manuka honey is of course good, but she doesn’t buy it often. She usually buys Manuka 10+ honey. This kind of 15+ honey is never in her consideration.
"If we don't want it, we won't buy it."
"It's okay, take it."
"good"
After a while, Du Jiayi said that he was going to buy a bottle of red wine, but she didn't speak, so he pushed the cart to the wine selling area, far away.
Yu Sichun only saw the man pulling the cart with his left hand, picking up the wine with his right hand to check the date, lowering his head slightly, his hair covering his eyebrows and eyes, making it impossible to see what he was thinking.
After looking at it for a while, I put it back and looked at the others, as if I remembered something, and looked up at her. Her handsome appearance moved her a little.
He came out today without a suit, a dark shirt and a pair of black slacks, looking very casual, reminiscent of the ascetic boys in the novel.
There are girls around who frequently look at him. A bolder girl came up to talk to him, but he ignored her, just looked at her, his lips moved, and she saw that his mouth was—wife.
She stepped forward and called, "Chiayi."
His face was still slightly red because of the address he just called.
"Sisi, I've already chosen, let's go to pay the bill." Du Jiayi bowed his head and said to her, his voice was deep and magnetic, which made her heart beat faster for a few seconds.
"Okay," she heard herself say.
——
After returning home, it was already eight o'clock in the evening. After Yu Sichun put away the things he bought, he saw Du Jiayi coming out of the bathroom with his hair still dripping, so he went to fetch the hair dryer and asked Du Jiayi to sit by the bed and stand beside him. next to him, blow-dry his hair.
The woman's slender and fair fingers ran through his hair, and the quiet touch lingered in his heart, making Du Jiayi feel delighted.
"My parents were both diplomats."
Yu Sichun's voice was a little low, mixed with the rumble of the hair dryer, Du Jiayi still heard it.
After a long silence, she heard her say again: "They divorced when I was eight years old."
Yu Sichun put away the hair dryer with a flat expression, not feeling at all what she said that surprised her just now, Du Jiayi just looked at her busy figure and didn't speak.
"I was raised by a nanny and a servant." She put away the hair dryer and walked out of the bathroom, saying, "Later, the nanny went back to my hometown, so I quit the servant and lived alone."
Du Jiayi looked at her, her expression was soft, her smile was faint, and she didn't feel how miserable her experience was, and her tone was also calm, but slightly more indifferent than usual.
"What about your parents?"
"I was raised by my father, but he already had a son who was six years younger than me when he divorced, and he didn't care much about me, but he would transfer some living expenses to me every month."
"Sisi." Du Jiayi reached out to touch Yu Sichun's face.
"Don't look at me with this distressed expression. I have nothing to be pitied about. Compared with those poor children who don't have enough to eat and don't wear warm clothes every day, I am much happier."
She paused, and then said, "At least you don't have to run around for food and clothing, and there is no one to restrain you every day, and no one will control what you want to do. I heard from my junior high school head teacher that he always called my father because of my father." The secretary took it."
"I don't see him very often. He's really busy with work. I haven't seen him for four or five years. He's about to retire, so we don't have much contact."
"My mother will come to see me occasionally, but it's just for a meal, and then give me some things that girls should like. Although I don't like the things she sends, I can't refuse them, so I put them all in my spare time. Home, we haven’t seen each other since we got married.”
"Actually, it's okay. I haven't just come here for more than ten years. There's nothing wrong with it. I'm just like this alone. It's pretty good. Maybe I'm not delicate, but I'm stronger than being strong."
"Sisi, are you happy now?"
"I'm fine." Yu Sichun looked at Du Jiayi strangely and said, "It's fine."
"Sisi, are your parents also in Jiangcheng?" Du Jiayi touched Yu Sichun's earlobe and said in a low voice with a gentle expression on his face.
"No, my father is in the capital, and my mother should be in Haicheng."
"That's it." Du Jiayi nodded, "Can I go and see them?"
"After a while," Yu Sichun thought for a while, "I'll talk to them."
"Okay." Du Jiayi nodded, bowed his head and kissed Yu Sichun's gentle face.
"Go to bed first, I'll take a shower."
Yu Sichun put on his pajamas and walked to the bathroom. After closing the bathroom door, he stared at his pajamas in a daze.
Really... going to meet them
In fact, she is not very willing. She really doesn't know what to say about the strangeness with her relatives, the relationship between them and their husband and wife after meeting.
