Thinking about it afterwards, on that almost perfect morning, He Yunzhou's gaffe was actually only a short moment.
Afterwards, the slightly stiff expression gradually changed into a gentle smile as usual, and there was hardly any clue in his behavior. It must be said that there is something wrong with him, but it is just a little absent-minded.
If Huo Zheng hadn't put all his attention on that person, he would have thought that nothing really happened.
According to Huo Zheng's previous understanding of He Yunzhou, it is probably really important to make He Yunzhou, who is somewhat sloppy and evasive in character, try his best to whitewash the peace and pretend that everything is fine...
Huo Zheng lowered his eyes, the delicious breakfast suddenly lost its taste in his mouth.
As an adult, Huo Zheng knows very well that there are some things that don't need to be explored or get to the bottom of it, especially if the other party has already covered it up so clearly—but as a lover, Huo Zheng can't help but care about what He Yunzhou received. What happened to the message.
However, the moment he was about to speak, a ghostly voice suddenly reverberated in his mind.
"Aren't you going to end up like me..."
Huo Xiaoyun's distorted face suddenly came to mind, Huo Zheng's hand trembled, and the spoon lightly tapped on the edge of the bowl.
Huo Zheng once witnessed the suffocating twisted relationship between his mother and that man, and Huo Xiaoyun's almost perverted obsession and desire to control that man made him feel extremely disgusted.
He has always been sure that he will not become a person like Huo Xiaoyun, let alone why someone has such a strong obsession with another person.
But at this moment, he found that he seemed to feel somewhat the same mood as Huo Xiaoyun.
"you… "
"I'm going to have dinner with someone else tonight, so I won't be cooking at home tonight."
While Huo Zheng was thinking wildly,
He Yunzhou spoke abruptly.
Then, he was startled, and looked at Huo Zheng: "Sorry, I took your words away again. What did you want to say just now?"
Who are you going to have dinner with
Is it the person who sent the message just now
Haha, I just felt that your face was not right just now, and I want to care about you.
Ah, by the way, when will you come back in the evening, and where will you eat? Do you want me to pick you up
In a short moment, Huo Zheng had considered countless insinuating questions word by word in his mind, and rehearsed countless scenes in his mind, assuming how he should respond to He Yunzhou's reply.
But no matter how proficiently he rehearsed in his mind, what he really said in the end was only a dry, short reply with a hint of bravado.
"Coincidentally, I just wanted to say that I need to work overtime at night."
Huo Zheng squeezed out a stiff smile.
While he was talking, his eyes could not help but fall on He Yunzhou's cell phone from time to time.
If He Yunzhou hadn't been so absent-minded, he might have been keenly aware of his strangeness at this time.
I really want to ask why I don’t have time to cook, is it related to the news I received before...
But until he left He Yunzhou's house, the other party didn't explain anything to Huo Zheng.
Huo Zheng was sitting in the car, his expression so gloomy that even the driver cast worried glances at the back seat from time to time.
An unprecedented mood spread in the chest.
It is of course a lie to say that you work overtime. Before that, you just worked overtime to catch up with the schedule. Everything is to make room for further cultivation of relationship with He Yunzhou.
But looking back on everything from last night to today, even the most optimistic person would not think that the progress of him and He Yunzhou can be called "smooth".
Very anxious, and very lost.
Although he couldn't tell the specific problem, Huo Zheng still felt that there seemed to be some secret issues between himself and He Yunzhou, which he couldn't explain clearly.
"Uncle Chen."
Seeing that the car was about to drive into the garage of Huo's Building, Huo Zheng couldn't help but speak.
"Master, what are your orders?"
The back of the older driver, who had been a little subtle since yesterday, suddenly tensed up, but his attitude was as calm and calm as ever when he spoke back.
"If Sister-in-Law Chen is going out on a date with someone else at night, will she tell you all the other party's information?"
Huo Zheng asked.
The driver was silent for a few seconds before replying: "Master, my wife usually doesn't date anyone."
After a pause, he added: "If she goes out to meet people, she usually takes me with her."
Huo Zheng: "..."
Seeing that his young master's expression became even more strange, the driver hurriedly corrected a few words: "Of course, if Ali and her little sister have a party or something, she will definitely not bring me with her, hahaha, after all, the party between them is still Think I'm in the way."
Huo Zheng: "Oh, that's it."
The driver observed his young master, and was sure that it wasn't his illusion - when Huo Zheng heard the last sentence, he obviously became more depressed.
And this depressed atmosphere continued until Huo Zheng got out of the car and went to his office, but there was no sign of disappearing.
What the hell happened? The driver holding the steering wheel worriedly looked at Huo Zheng's bleak back, and thought with rare curiosity. Is it because of the young man yesterday? The driver did not forget the innocent but clumsy interaction between Huo Zheng and that person last night.
No matter how dull a person is, he can clearly see the tenderness between those two people... To be honest, after working for Huo Zheng for so long, Lao Chen sincerely hopes that this young master of his family can take care of himself. After all these years, it was the first time he saw such a relaxed and happy Huo Zheng.
The young master of the Huo family has finally found someone he really likes.
The driver couldn't help but sighed in his heart.
However, looking at the situation this morning, these two people may...
Just when the driver, Old Chen, was silently worried about Huo Zheng and He Yunzhou, as the other protagonist of the incident, He Yunzhou's condition was not much better than that of Huo Zheng.
It's just that the person who made him feel anxious was not Huo Zheng, but the sender of the mobile phone message, the man named Ouyang Chenglin.
Although in front of Huo Zheng, He Yunzhou didn't behave much differently, but as soon as Huo Zheng left, he became extremely weak.
Obviously there is still a lot of housework to be done, and the pumpkin has been begging for morning snacks... But He Yunzhou has been sitting motionless on the chair.
The mood is very chaotic, and the mind is blank.
"Ouyang..."
He Yunzhou gently repeated that person's name.
The face of a tall man with light brown skin suddenly flashed through He Yunzhou's mind.
Back then, Shu Ran was almost the goddess in everyone's minds, and the corresponding "male god" in the whole school was naturally Ouyang.
And He Yunzhou, as the most inconspicuous little follower in the trio, was often teased because of this—no one knew why everyone from Shu Ran to Ouyang Chenglin took such good care of such an ordinary rookie.
Of course, until now, He Yunzhou has not found the answer.
All he knew was that even though he and Ouyang had completely opposite appearances, status and identities back then, they surprisingly had a tacit understanding. It seems that unconsciously, the two have become quite good friends.
He Yunzhou also regretted it very much. If only he hadn't been so stupid at the time, pretending to be a same-sex couple with Ouyang... This is also the stupidest thing He Yunzhou has ever done in his life. He always thought that with the passage of time, he could pretend that everything was over. It has passed, but who knows, the people who are rumored to have settled abroad will appear in his life again.
When I was hanging out with the other party back then, I thought that I would always be best friends with him, but who would have thought that now, just seeing the other party's invitation, he would be so nervous that his stomach tightened.
"Om—"
At this moment, He Yunzhou's cell phone beeped suddenly.
Another message from Ouyang appeared on the screen.
[I know you are probably in a difficult situation right now. Don't think too much, I'm just coming back this time to take a look and meet my old classmates by the way. Besides, I heard that Shu Ran and her family have officially fallen out? I haven't been in China for so many years and no one told me if I wanted to eat a melon, so you just pretend that I came to find out the situation.]
Holding the mobile phone, He Yunzhou looked down at the line of words on the screen.
I haven't seen each other for so many years, but inexplicably, He Yunzhou can almost see Ouyang's expression when he is typing this passage through the screen.
It's a gentle and considerate smile, coupled with clear eyes and decent manners, anyone can feel like a spring breeze in front of Ouyang and become his friend.
He Yunzhou felt a little sad for no reason.
If it weren't for his stupidity, Ouyang would have been the most pleasant friend in the world.
Before he could think of a suitable reply, another message from Ouyang appeared again.
[Also, there are some things I always want to talk to you face to face. After so many years, the matter between me and you still needs to be made clear in person, don't you think so?]
[I have always owed you an apology.]
It has to be said that Ouyang is still Ouyang after all.
If he used other reasons to ask He Yunzhou, He Yunzhou might still not be able to make up his mind to meet him.
But because he so straightforwardly pointed out what he did at the beginning, He Yunzhou was unable to prevaricate the other party.
After hesitating for a moment, He Yunzhou took a deep breath, and then gave Ouyang Chenglin his reply.
[Let's go out and have dinner together.]
Ouyang returned him a smiling face.
And He Yunzhou stared at the smiling face, becoming more and more upset.
Although he had a premonition that he would meet Ouyang today - but after setting the meal time, He Yunzhou was still a little nervous.
He really didn't know if he would regret meeting Ouyang today in the future.
The author has something to say: The driver old Chen feels that Huo Zheng has met true love = Mrs. Chen knows that Huo Zheng has met true love = the whole Huo family knows that Huo Zheng has met true love = the whole social circle knows that Huo Zheng has met true love.
…
As for He Yunzhou, he still doesn't know anything about this matter at this time...
