The sudden coughs from the driver instantly broke the weird and delicate atmosphere between He Yunzhou and Huo Zheng.
As if some kind of magic spell suddenly lost its effectiveness, He Yunzhou and Huo Zheng suddenly leaned back, opening the distance between each other.
"Sorry, boss, my throat is not very good these days."
The driver's hoarse words came from the front seat.
Huo Zheng glanced at the rearview mirror, and saw that the driver's face was serious and expressionless—only the muscles on his cheeks twitched a little.
"fine."
Huo Zheng said quietly.
"..."
Then, the carriage suddenly fell into a short period of silence.
"Uh," Huo Zheng clenched his fists and put them in front of his lips for a few fake coughs. He averted his gaze from He Yunzhou's face, and then smiled with ease, "Actually, I just opened a joke."
Huo Zheng's face was on the verge of burning, and after he calmed down, he couldn't believe that those stupid words that exploded were actually said by himself.
"Hahaha."
He laughed dryly several times, racking his brains to say some remedial words.
But it was probably because of being too ashamed that my brain went blank instead.
"I, I know." He Yunzhou lowered his eyes, his eyelashes fluttering slightly.
Huo Zheng and He Yunzhou were sitting in the back seat of the car, with only a fist's distance between them, but they all looked straight ahead at the same time, both of them were a little embarrassed.
But the silence lasted only a few minutes.
"But thanks anyway—"
"Although it was a joke before, but... but I am not joking."
Huo Zheng and He Yunzhou said at the same time.
He Yunzhou stopped halfway, but Huo Zheng stammered and finished that inexplicable sentence.
OK, another round of silliness out there.
Huo Zheng could almost hear a voice shouting hysterically in his heart: Are you going crazy? ! Why can't you talk properly all of a sudden! ! !
But on the other hand, he uncontrollably continued to say tensely and dully in the quiet carriage: "I'm actually serious, that, that is... In short, you just need to know that no matter what happens to you, I will stand by your side."
Huo Zheng's throat was dry, and he swallowed a mouthful of dry saliva while talking.
"I'll always be by your side."
He said.
Really bad reaction.
Sweaty palms and a sudden warm heartbeat.
It was as if the social skills and EQ IQ he had accumulated in the mall for more than 20 years were completely dead at this time.
After saying this, Huo Zheng felt so nervous that he was about to spit out.
Obviously there could be more, more provocative, and more provocative words kept circling in his head—Huo Zheng himself didn't know why, but in the end, the only thing he could say was this kind of dry declaration like a primary school student making friends.
And after a long time, Huo Zheng heard He Yunzhou softly respond to him.
"Um… "
Pounding—
Pounding—
For a moment, Huo Zheng couldn't tell what kind of emotion He Yunzhou's soft humming actually contained.
Maybe he also thinks he is stupid, or is it inexplicable
Huo Zheng pretended to be calm, looking at the nighttime street scene flying backwards through the windshield, and silently increased his breathing.
After a while, he pretended to be nonchalant, turned his head slightly, and glanced at He Yunzhou from the corner of his eye.
For a brief second, he even held his breath unconsciously.
What came into Huo Zheng's field of vision was He Yunzhou's exquisite and perfect profile.
He Yunzhou's eyes were lowered, and he was also looking out of the window sideways, as if he was also admiring the street view outside the car.
However, from Huo Zheng's angle, he could clearly see the slightly raised corners of the mouth of the man with a gentle smile.
call…
Huo Zheng felt that his heart was suddenly let go.
No need to speak.
There is no need to painstakingly construct a communication model.
There is no need to use any so-called "speaking skills" that he knows and is proficient in.
unnecessary…
Well, the truth is, he doesn't have to do anything.
Huo Zheng realized this belatedly - he actually didn't have to worry about anything, he didn't have to do anything, he just needed to sit quietly beside He Yunzhou like this.
He Yunzhou knows everything.
Huo Zheng fell silent.
He no longer tried to rack his brains to think of beautiful and decent words to save his face, nor did he try to ease the silence between the two of them.
He stayed by He Yunzhou's side peacefully and securely, watching the night scene flying by outside the car window, feeling peaceful in his heart.
…
The car stopped steadily downstairs, and the overly luxurious license plate attracted several passers-by to watch.
After Huo Zheng and He Yunzhou got out of the car, the driver quickly left the Qianping, which was a bit too crude for this car.
"Well… "
Huo Zheng looked at the headlights of his car going away, and pondered for a while.
"What's wrong?"
He Yunzhou noticed his hesitation and couldn't help asking.
Huo Zheng came back to his senses, his slightly frowned brows instantly relaxed: "It's nothing."
But, is it his illusion? Why did he feel that he heard a muffled laugh overflowing from the throat of the usually steady family driver uncle just at the moment of closing the door
It's a pity that the seal of the car was too good, and the speed of the other party driving away was too fast, Huo Zheng didn't catch any real evidence after all.
Since Huo Zheng didn't say anything, He Yunzhou didn't continue to ask.
The two of them walked side by side naturally, and then pressed the elevator in the lobby.
The shadows of the two standing side by side were faintly reflected on the metal elevator door.
Huo Zheng's tall and slender figure still stands out even under such a vague outline.
"you… "
He Yunzhou's eyes fell on the constantly jumping down elevator lights, and then he said softly: "Would you like to come and sit at my house?"
"Um?"
Huo Zheng opened his eyes wide, and suddenly turned to look at He Yunzhou.
He Yunzhou, who was originally calm, also felt a little nervous for no reason.
"Well, in fact, you didn't have dinner at all today, didn't you? And you worked overtime today... So, why don't you come to my house and sit down, and I'll make you something to eat. "
He Yunzhou's tone was normal at first, but Huo Zheng's gaze was a bit too strong and weird, instead, his tone became much weaker as he talked.
"...Although it's not good to eat before going to bed, it's not good for your stomach to be on an empty stomach for so long. I'll make it lighter, at least to cushion your stomach."
"Okay, okay."
Huo Zheng tightly tensed the muscles on his face, using the greatest willpower in his life to keep himself from laughing uncontrollably.
"I also think I should eat something."
Huo Zheng said lightly, with a dazed expression on his face.
His boat... a shy and incomprehensible boat...
Finally, invite him to the house at night!
Huo Zheng's heart was beating like a drum, and he almost couldn't control his emotions.
He had never been so grateful for his muscles.
Although the effect was delayed for a long time than he thought, but finally, those damn tortured muscles finally paid off, didn't they? !
["Your muscles are not in vain!"]
In the car before, the scene where He Yunzhou hinted with a smile kept circling in Huo Zheng's mind.
However, will it be a little too sudden
After being ecstatic, Huo Zheng suddenly became nervous again.
Maybe He Yunzhou wants to get some comfort today because he reunited with the person who bullied him many years later and became vulnerable after emotional turmoil? If he really hit the snake with a stick, then...would it be somewhat suspected of taking advantage of others for He Yunzhou
No, no, when he was in the car, He Yunzhou was obviously relieved, so tonight it was probably just him who—
"Huo Zheng?"
A hand shook Huo Zheng reluctantly.
Huo Zheng was taken aback, only to realize that he was too cranky, and didn't even wait until the elevator stopped at He Yunzhou's door.
And He Yunzhou called Huo Zheng several times, but the latter was in a daze.
"You are really tired recently."
He Yunzhou glanced at Huo Zheng who was stunned, his reaction had become a little slow, and the feeling of guilt grew deeper in his heart.
"No, I'm not tired! Don't worry about me, I've been in good health recently."
Huo Zheng immediately said vigilantly.
"How could I not be worried."
He Yunzhou sighed softly, he pulled Huo Zheng, and brought President Huo back to his home, who was clearly out of order due to overtime work.
As soon as I got home, the pumpkin meowed up.
He Yunzhou hugged the pumpkin in his arms and gently rubbed it several times before he put down the big soft and fat orange cat with satisfaction.
After returning home and hugging the cat again, his whole body seemed to have been replaced by an invisible battery, and his whole body instantly became more energetic than before.
"Go and sit on the sofa first, and I'll make you something to eat."
He Yunzhou settled Huo Zheng on the sofa, and then said.
Turning around and entering the kitchen, he was still a little worried about Huo Zheng who hadn't eaten all night. He heated up a cup of milk in a small milk pot, and sprinkled a little bit of brown sugar in it when it was lukewarm, and then found it in the refrigerator. A can of custard biscuits that I baked casually in the morning, and delivered them to the tea table together.
Seeing the warm brown sugar milk and plain custard biscuits, which are simply snacks for school-aged children, Huo Zheng was obviously taken aback.
He Yunzhou's fingers itched slightly, and he suddenly wanted to touch Huo Zheng's head.
"Eat this first, and cushion your stomach."
He forcibly threw the weird impulse in his heart to the back of his head, and then said.
Huo Zheng was actually very obedient, and when He Yunzhou ordered him to do so, he also foolishly held the milk and obediently drank it.
He Yunzhou only glanced at him, then quickly returned to the kitchen.
It's just... not quite right.
In a corner that Huo Zheng couldn't see, He Yunzhou stretched out his hand in confusion, and pressed his chest.
But watching Huo Zheng take a sip of milk, he actually felt a sense of healing as his heart slowly melted away
It's normal to feel this way towards a kitten that is eating obediently.
But, that person is Huo Zheng...
Oh, maybe it's because he is too melon-like.
He Yunzhou absently took out a handful of chives, chopped them on the cutting board, and then thought. Although he also knew that the feeling this time was actually different from when he saw the cat.
The author has something to say: Huo Zheng: Let me eat next? (suddenly excited)
