Chapter 37

Views:

He Yunzhou didn't think too much about rejecting Huo Zheng's invitation, and pressed the floor of his house before the other party was still in a daze.

And he looked at Huo Zheng with a hint of helplessness.

"The wound on your face was also wet by the rain, you must remember to re-sterilize it when you go home..."

He Yunzhou instructed Huo Zheng.

Huo Zheng still looked dazed by the heavy rain, and could only nod stiffly when he heard He Yunzhou's instructions.

"I know, but..."

Before he could finish speaking, the elevator had slowly stopped on the twenty-third floor.

The elevator door was pushed open in front of He Yunzhou and Huo Zheng, and outside the elevator door was the neighbor's grandmother who was waiting for the elevator.

Huo Zheng's words stuck in his throat instantly.

But the neighbor's grandmother didn't seem to notice the subtle sense of stagnation at the scene.

Seeing the distressed appearance of the two people in the elevator, the neighbor's grandmother just let out a surprised voice: "Wow, it's raining so hard outside?"

"Yeah, it's raining heavily... are you going down or up?"

He Yunzhou replied very naturally.

The neighbor's grandmother shook the garbage bag in her hand: "Go down, down, oh, it's raining so hard, it's a lot of trouble to throw out the trash, this property company is really, it should put a trash can in every stairwell... "

Seeing how many familiar grandma started nagging habitually after living for so many years, He Yunzhou took a step outside with a polite smile. However, the moment he stepped out of the elevator, he remembered that Huo Zheng hadn't finished speaking, so he quickly turned his head to look at him.

"Are you really okay?"

He Yunzhou asked again with a little worry.

Under the pale light of the elevator, Huo Zheng's face was green like a water ghost.

"nothing."

He said to He Yunzhou with difficulty.

"I just wanted to say goodnight to you—"

The end of his words was cut off by the closing of the elevator door.

"..."

He Yunzhou stared at the cold metal door, and for some reason he suddenly froze.

Something doesn't seem quite right... He couldn't help thinking.

(Am I a bit too direct in my rejection?)

And it wasn't until he opened the door and returned home that this thought slowly slipped through He Yunzhou's mind.

Pumpkin heard the movement at the door, jumped off the cat climbing frame with a bang, ran all the way, meowing and begging for food.

When He Yunzhou saw his cat's chubby, anxious and obsequious face, he was in a trance, and couldn't help but think of Gua Ji back then.

Ah, to put it this way...

The appearance of Huo Zheng standing alone in the elevator in a daze just now seemed familiar.

It was a special period when Guaji had been home for a while, and finally let go of his guard against He Yunzhou, but he still hadn't fully integrated into the family.

Probably because he felt that he was just a sojourner and needed to pay for food, Guaji began to bring half-dead geckos and cockroaches to He Yunzhou's bed from time to time, and looked at He Yunzhou seriously, waiting for him to give the "" "food expenses" to eat.

And once he found that He Yunzhou firmly refused and disposed of its prey, Guaji would stand in a corner with a subtle and silent attitude, quietly watching all the movements of He Yunzhou.

Of course, this episode only lasted for a short period of time, after which Guaji realized that he could enjoy the care and feeding of He Yunzhou without any additional payment, and such things as catching prey never happened again (the only exception was , probably around the time it finally started getting sick).

He Yunzhou sat on the sofa with a pumpkin in his arms, found the photo of Guaji in his phone, and looked at it quietly for a while.

Ah, it's true...

It's really the same look.

Huo Zheng's invitation to drink coffee just now was actually a... friendly gesture, right

It was only at this time that He Yunzhou reacted belatedly.

Speaking of which, Huo Zheng and him have been friends for so long. It has always been Huo Zheng who took the initiative to come to He Yunzhou's house. Today's invitation in the elevator is the first time Huo Zheng asked He Yunzhou to go to his home. .

"Oh, really... I'm so stupid."

After He Yunzhou thought about it, he couldn't help feeling annoyed. He lay back holding the pumpkin and fell into the messy sofa.

"Why am I always so slow?"

He lifted the pumpkin into the air, stared at the big round eyes of the pumpkin, and sighed.

In fact, it wasn't a big deal, but he didn't realize it and directly rejected Huo Zheng's kindness, but that subtle sense of guilt still made He Yunzhou a little restless.

and…

Obviously, he could clearly perceive that person's hidden thoughts before, but for some reason, Huo Zheng seemed to be becoming difficult to understand.

Hidden unease.

Elusive emotions.

There are also feelings towards that person that cannot be summarized and sorted out.

Everything gathered together made He Yunzhou's heart messed up.

"Ah, so annoying."

He Yunzhou sighed, habitually began to escape, and stopped thinking about these things that he couldn't figure out.

"Forget it, let's make an apology for his favorite dish next time, what do you think?"

He rubbed the pumpkin's head and whispered to it.

"Meow… "

Pumpkin whimpered.

However, although there are plans to cook a few more dishes for Huo Zheng to eat.

After all, the plan cannot keep up with the changes.

First of all, it was Huo Zheng's side. It seemed that there was some new problem at work. He started to leave early and return late. He had been stationed in the company for several days in a row, and he couldn't spare time to come to He Yunzhou's house for dinner.

Of course, He Yunzhou himself also encountered some minor problems during this period, which made him a little unwilling to cook.

The job of illustrating the novel version of "God Cat" is gone.

In fact, He Yunzhou was not surprised when he received Xiaoxi's news. After all, the attitude of the publishing house, and Editor Ding's abnormal appearance before, had already inoculated He Yunzhou.

Even Editor Ding was very "rule-abiding", and he paid off the trial draft fee for the people who worked so hard to drive out He Yunzhou.

However, when he rejected He Yunzhou, that editor Ding's very arrogant words on the phone still managed to disgust He Yunzhou.

"I don't think it's easy for you, so I specially applied for this manuscript fee for you."

It was obviously the money that should be given according to the normal process, but Editor Ding said it was like some kind of extra reward.

After hearing He Yunzhou's report, Xiaoxi was so angry that she cursed directly on the phone, and even went to the editorial department directly to clarify the matter in front of the editor-in-chief there.

"Go to tmd, what kind of shit editor, what kind of shit project - don't you know if you are still an old lady?! There is nothing wrong with your person design, but they still want to break the contract, because those people have already made a choice before they approached you, They only plan to find that shitty beauty to draw this picture of the god cat... "

It turned out that during this period of time, Xiaoxi had actually been paying attention to this matter, and she actually managed to find some inside information. He Yunzhou was obviously the designated artist before, and the person design he gave has also received unanimous praise from within the editorial department. However, even though He Yunzhou's painting skills are superb and he has painted many classic works, in editor Ding's side, he is still far inferior to the beautiful painter who has been popular on social networks during this period of time.

"Ah, it's her... She is indeed quite famous..."

Upon hearing that name, He Yunzhou couldn't help but say.

The beauty artist is not best known for her paintings, but for her photos that were circulated at a comic exhibition. In the photo, she has beautiful facial features, exquisite figure and slim figure, and her temperament is even more charming. It is in stark contrast to the image of an "illustrator" who is simple in appearance and not too dressy in everyone's impression. She has attracted a lot of attention in just a short period of time. force.

As a result, several sets of her photos were released on the Internet. Compared with the previous photos taken by Manzhan Road, she can already kill most of the Internet celebrities in the photos, and directly promoted to the beauty of fairy level...

In short, after such an operation, people on the Internet have seen her photos even if they haven't seen the painting of Jing Wang Luo Hua.

"It's normal. If you find her, you can save a lot of money in marketing the book. That Jingwang Luohua can bring a lot of sales by herself. I really can't compare with this point..."

He Yunzhou said it calmly, but when Xiaoxi heard his answer, he became furious in an instant.

"If they had long wanted to find that famous painter, why did they deliberately say that you were an unofficial appointment, and forced you to make a picture like that? Isn't this tm playing tricks—"

"Xiaoxi, you don't need to be so angry, it's nothing."

He Yunzhou wanted to comfort Xiaoxi, but he didn't know what he said wrong. He just said a few more words to let Xiaoxi not be angry, but the latter was even more furious than before.

"He Yunzhou! Why are you still like this after everyone bullied you?! Obviously those people are wrong, why can't you fight for yourself? Do you know that your current appearance makes me think that I am the idiot? I'm not angry, of course I don't have to be angry, the person they messed with is you, you're not angry anymore, I'm angry with wool—"

"Xiaoxi..."

Xiaoxi hung up the phone directly.

He Yunzhou held the phone blankly, and after a long time, he slowly put it down.

Really not angry

How can you not be angry...

He Yunzhou lowered his eyes and looked at the black screen of the mobile phone.

["Brother He... It's not good for you to cosplay hermit crabs like this all the time."]

["No matter how hard the shell you find, as long as you hide in that little corner, the problem will never be solved."]

["Injured? Pfft, please, people are born to be injured, why are you afraid of it..."]

Shu Ran's words sounded in He Yunzhou's ears in a trance.

Back then, that was the way he fell in love with that person.

He will always pretend that everything is fine, but actually hides in his own world, it is really hard not to love Shu Ran.

The girl who goes forward bravely, laughs loudly and cries loudly, is like the person who came out of his dream.

It's a pity that after so many years, Shu Ran is still the same Shu Ran, and he is still the cowardly and timid man who only pretends that everything is fine.

And just when He Yunzhou thought of Shu Ran, his cell phone lit up and a call came in.

As if in a dream, the person who called was exactly the person he was thinking about before.

"He Xuedi, hehehe, a good news and a bad news, which one do you want to hear first?"

As soon as the call button was pressed, Shu Ran's happy voice sounded.

"...Pfft, forget it, I can't wait to let you choose, let me just say it, the bad news is that you have to prepare a sum of money to make a red envelope..."

"The good news is that Mengmeng and I plan to officially get married in the United States."

"Hahahaha, of course, it is impossible to actually hold a wedding here in China, but there will still be a small private banquet. At that time, my family and friends on both sides of Mengmeng and I will come-you must come! Did you hear that?! Are you My most important family and friends."

"I reserved a double seat for you, you should understand, right! Just bring that good gentleman with you, and I'll throw the bouquet at your side when the time comes, so it's settled!"

"good."

He Yunzhou heard himself say to Shu Ran.

"I will definitely be there and give you a big red envelope."

Please, for goodness sake.

Let his voice sound natural and pleasant.

He Yunzhou prayed in his heart.

"... I wish you a happy union for a hundred years and grow old together."

Facing the phone, he spoke slowly, word by word.

The author has something to say: after counting, I feel that Ouyang is about to appear.

as well as…

Mr. He really got the situation wrong.

Guaji just wanted to pay for food.

And Mr. Huo wants to make a promise with his body...
