40, Chapter 40(1/2)
The words were interrupted, and He Yue did not continue, but just watched Qiu Qing'an playing dice with them.
He held the tube in his hand and shook it with a casual smile on his face. He leaned over and wrapped her in his arms, and his face almost leaned against He Yue's shoulder. During the movements, his cheeks would occasionally rub against He Yue's side.
The two were very close, but they felt very far away.
After a while, the waiter came over with a tray, with a glass cup on it and beige yogurt inside.
Qiu Qing'an took down the cup and put it in front of Heyue.
"Why haven't you replied to my message these days?" After pausing, she asked in a low voice. Qiu Qing'an stopped and his words came from above.
"Oh, I didn't pay attention to looking at my phone."
"What about the phone? Why didn't you answer?" He Yue looked up at him, and something was about to come out of his eyes.
"I'm not in good condition these two days." Qiu Qing'an tied her hair behind her ears and spoke in a warm voice: "I'm afraid I'll scare you."
He Yue avoided his sight, and his fingers unconsciously rubbed the wall of the cup, as if he was talking to himself.
"I came back that day and found out that my father had sprained his ankle. He didn't say anything, and he had been taking care of him at home these days, so he didn't come to find you."
"Yes." Qiu Qing'an responded casually, unable to see his emotions.
"Are you angry?" He Yue looked at him and asked again, and Qiu Qing'an shook his head.
"No."
She was silent and continued to speak after a while.
"What happened to you recently? Is it related to me?"
"No." Qiu Qing settled for a long time, denied it, and then leaned over to her cheek and kissed her, coaxing her softly.
"Don't think too much."
He Yue sat aside and watched them play, quietly biting the straw, and the cup of yogurt was gradually left with only half of it.
I don't know how long it took, but Qiu Qing'an suddenly threw the card in his hand and rubbed his neck casually.
"No more fun."
"What's wrong, suddenly I won't play anymore?" someone asked, Qiu Qing'an's expression was a little depressed.
"It's boring, you guys play."
"Okay, okay."
The man shuffled the cards, and the group started playing on their own again. Qiu Qing'an turned his head and glanced at He Yue, leaned back lazily, and leaned back most of his body into her arms.
"Ayue...I'm sleepy." He leaned against her and murmured, and Heyue gently touched his hair.
"Then let's go back and rest."
He was quiet for a while before he raised his face and looked at her.
He Yue has been sitting next to him since he came in. Apart from the brief conversation before, he didn't speak anymore, and looked at them quietly.
Qiu Qing'an lowered her eyes and grabbed her hands to play with it. There was a silver ring between her fair and symmetrical ring finger. When you touch it, you could vaguely feel the uneven marks of letters below.
He looked up at He Yue.
“Isn’t it boring?”
"It's okay." She also looked back at him and said.
"Just like it."
It was obviously a very normal tone, but somewhere I suddenly touched Qiu Qing'an. He raised his lips and smiled, with the light above his head waving in his eyes, like the ice surface under the moonlight on the cold night.
"Will you satisfy what I like?"
Heyue hesitated and replied, "I can do anything I can."
"Well..." Qiu Qing'an seemed to be thinking, and glanced at the fruit plate on the table, with a smile on his face, and he snuggled in her arms and opened his lips carelessly.
"I really want to eat loquats now, Ah Yue."
Now in mid-August, loquats have already fallen. When a group of people heard his request, they seemed to hear some joke. They stared at him incredibly but did not dare to interrupt casually.
He Yue looked at him, but he was thinking about where to buy loquats for him now. The largest fresh food supermarkets in the city seem to have many rare fruits that are off-season.
Her reaction was delayed for a moment before nodding.
"Okay, I'll buy it for you."
He Yue let go and got up and went out. Qiu Qing'an sat there alone, with his head hanging down, as if thinking about something.
The light poured out, and most of his face was shrouded in shadows. For a moment, no one dared to quip.
Heyue was still a little optimistic. She took a bus to Yihetiandi first. There was a huge supermarket on the first floor of the brigade, and there were a wide variety of them. She carefully visited the fresh food area, but she didn't see any loquats sold.
I asked the taxi master to take her to several other larger supermarkets, but I still found nothing. Fortunately, Sicheng is not large in area, and it took only two hours to go shopping for almost all of them.
A small box of loquat was found in the imported supermarket with a membership system. The supermarket was set up in the villa area and was far from the city center. It took almost an hour to find it by taking a taxi.
She hurriedly checked the bill and rushed back, and it was already dark.
He Yue calmed down his breath, wiped off the sweat from the hot forehead, and then walked in.
There were only a lot of people inside, and it was still lively. Qiu Qing sat quietly in the corner without saying anything, not knowing what she was thinking.
She sat down and handed him the box of loquats in her hand, and the surroundings were quiet for a moment.
"I found several supermarkets to buy it, and it took some time."
Heyue explained that his voice was a little dry because he hadn't drunk water for a long time, and Qiu Qing'an looked down at him.
The loquats are golden, yellow, and plump. There are fine water droplets produced by taking them out of the freezer and suddenly touching the air.
Qiu Qing'an glanced at her, suddenly bent her lips and came over. Her rosy lips held her, her breath was hot and her tender murmurs were tender.
"Ayue, I knew you loved me the most."
His temperature seemed to be a little hotter than the sun outside. After being at a loss, Heyue quickly calmed down. Fortunately, Qiu Qing'an simply kissed her and left, looked at her for a few glances, and brought his cup over.
"You're thirsty, drink some water."
"Yeah." He Yue was indeed a little dry. I don't know if it was caused by his actions just now or because of the long running, she held the cup and drank most of the time, and her mood was slightly relieved.
"Do you try it sweet?" Her eyes emerged from behind the glass, looking at him with darkness and brightness.
Qiu Qing settled down and nodded slowly.
"good."
Take out the loquat that I hadn't been long since from the freezer, peel off a thin layer of skin, revealing the yellow flesh inside, but it's still cold.
It is sweet and has a great taste.
Qiu Qing'an ate one and never touched it again. She lowered her head and concentratedly peeled it and handed it to Heyue. She waved her hand quickly.
"I don't eat it, you eat it."
"Do you want to eat?" Qiu Qing'an asked everyone. Who doesn't know that He Yue bought it for him after running away from most of Sicheng. Of course, no one dared to speak up and refused, saying that he would not eat it.
Qiu Qing'an didn't make any noise, but just put the box of loquats on the table, which was very eye-catching among the pile of wine and drinks, but no one cared about it.
Until the end of the show, everyone started to get up and leave, and the loquats on the table were still not passive.
When Heyue was held hands by Qiu Qing'an, she couldn't help but look back.
It was placed there alone, like abandoned garbage.
Heyue suddenly felt inexplicable sadness.
She stopped.
Seeing her movements, Qiu Qing'an looked back at her, and then followed his joyful gaze and saw the box of loquats.
Her voice sounded in her ears, very low.
"It's a pity to put it there, let's take it back for food."
There was a loneliness that could not be hidden in her eyes, and there were some things that he couldn't understand.
Even Qiu Qing'an felt sad in an instant and couldn't breathe.
For a moment, Qiu Qing'an really wanted to ask her openly and honestly.
Is it because of guilt or like it that he is so good to him?
Put all the things that have been accumulated in my heart for so many days indifferently in the sun.
But he dared not.
You can maintain your appearance by pretending not to know.
She still indulges him infinitely, and he can still enjoy the warmth that belongs to her.
Qiu Qing'an took a deep breath, looked up at the top of his eyes, and suppressed his chest, but the corners of his eyes could not control the slight redness.
"Well, let's take it home." He lowered his head and said vaguely. He Yue immediately walked over happily and took the box of loquats in his hand and smiled at him.
"Let's go."
