âChengfeng has been in China for the past few days. He might go to City A this week. If thereâs nothing between you and Chengfeng, I can rest assured if he sends you back.â
As soon as Xu Yuan finished speaking, Zuo Yue suddenly stood up from the sofa.
She suppressed the surging waves in her heart, but her nose was extremely sour. She even had a feeling that her uncle might be outside the window, right beside her. She rushed to the window and looked out, but there was nothing but snow outside the window. The figure she wanted to see was not there.
âZuo Yue, are you listening to me?â
âIâm listening.â Zuo Yue leaned against the window and suddenly realized that the air in A City was fresher. She suddenly felt as if she was about to come back to life. She tried her best to suppress her excitement and said calmly,âThereâs really nothing unpleasant between Uncle and me. If he has the time and is willing to personally bring me back to America, thatâs fine too.â
Xu Yuan listened carefully to Zuo Yueâs tone and then smiled.ââI havenât told your uncle about this yet. He probably doesnât know that youâre in Chinaâs A City now. Iâll find an opportunity to call him in the next few days and ask him when he has time to pick you up.â
âYes.â
â Zuo Yue, although the Xu and Zuo families are prestigious families, we donât have many people in our families. The Xu family only has me and your uncle. The Zuo family only has you and Hancheng in your generation. When your father and I are old, the only relatives you can rely on will be Hancheng and Chengfeng. So, I hope that you can get along well with your brother and uncle. Donât let anything unpleasant happen.ââ
âYes.â
Zuo Yue could barely speak at this moment. She could only respond in a hoarse voice.
â I didnât suspect anything between you and Chengfeng. I just thought that youâre young and itâs easy for you to mess up your feelings. I think your uncle might be avoiding you or something. It seems that Iâm overthinking it. Since thereâs nothing between the two of you, I donât have to worry anymore.â
âYes.â Zuo Yue continued to respond softly, but her eyes were red.
âChengfeng has something to do in China, so I donât know if heâll be very busy. Besides, Iâm not sure if heâll agree to it. Iâll contact him in the next two days and ask for his opinion. If he canât find the time to bring you back to the United States, then I can only ask your brother to send someone to send you back. Although I donât want to trouble your brother, he has quite a lot of things to do recentlyâ¦â
âMom, donât tell Uncle that I was caught by my brother in China, okay?âZuo Yue said in a very soft voice, with a hint of pleading.
âWhatâs wrong? Are you afraid of embarrassing yourself now? When I see you flying around, you seem to be very happy.â
â..âZuo Yue raised her hand and gently scratched her hair.ââAnyway, donât tell himâ¦â
He was the one who suggested ending the relationship, and he was the one who pretended to be rational in the end.
She really did not want her uncle to know what kind of irrational life she had been living these days.
If he found out that she almost secretly flew to Russia, how could she put her faceâ¦
Xu Yuan teased her a little more before hanging up.
Zuo Yue put down her phone and leaned against the window. Her previously deathly still mood had somehow become excited again.
She clearly knew what her mother meant. She was implying that even if Xu Chengfeng was in A City, he might not agree to come and see her, nor would he agree to send her back to America.
It didnât matter if she went back to America or not. It wasnât that she didnât have long legs. What was important was that she could still see himâ¦
However, when he thought about how the distance between the two of them would immediately shrink to the point where they could stand in the same city and look at the same sky, this feeling was really great.
The feeling of loneliness and emptiness seemed to have disappeared.
She suddenly turned around and returned to the sofa. She picked up her phone and looked at the screen.
She had deleted her uncleâs number a few days ago, but even after deleting his name from her contact list, some things lingered in her mind. Those numbers kept flashing across her mind.
Her fingers pressed the numbers on the phone one by one, but she did not have the courage to call them in the end. Although she really wanted to ask, where are you now, uncle? Which part of China are you in? Do you know that Iâm in China too? Do you know that Iâm very close?
However, she held her phone for a long time and finally stared at the string of numbers in a daze.
When Zuo Hancheng returned, he saw Zuo Yue sitting on the sofa like a little fool. Zuo Yue looked up at him and then looked behind him.âThat Gu Anhao isnât back yet?â
âSheâs staying at school.â Zuo Hancheng did not mention much about Anhao in front of Zuo Yue. After looking at Zuo Yue for a while, he walked over.âWhen do you plan to go back? The United States shouldnât be able to send anyone to pick you up in the next few days. Shall I arrange for someone to send you back?â
Zuo Yue immediately raised her head.â No need. Letâs wait a few more days.ââ
âWhat are you waiting for?â Zuo Hancheng glanced at her.â
Zuo Yue held her chin with one hand and turned her head away.ââIâm not telling you.â
Zuo Hancheng smiled when he saw her childish behavior. It was rare for him to have the leisure to sit beside her and chat with her.
âI will be going to T City for a business trip in the next two days. Anhao will be staying at school to prepare for her final exams. If you are bored here alone, you can look for Mobai. He will take you around when he has time.â
Zuo Yue turned to look at her.â Brother, I see that you seem to have a lot on your mind these past few days. Iâve never seen you like this before.ââ
âDo you know what it means to have a lot on your mind?â Zuo Hancheng glanced at her indifferently.â
Zuo Yue rolled her eyes at him. Iâm not thirteen years old. Why are you still looking at me five years ago? Your wife is only a year older than me, and you dare to marry a nineteen-year-old girl. Why canât you treat me as an adult? Besides, I wasnât wrong when I said that you had a lot on your mind. You even went out for a smoke a few nights ago.â
Zuo Hancheng smiled, but it was obvious that he did not really mean it.
â Brother, let me ask you something.â Zuo Yue suddenly leaned over to his side.â
âWhat?â
She suddenly held his arm and leaned against him intimately. She leaned her head on his shoulder.âIf I lean on you like this, will your heart beat faster?â
â..âZuo Hancheng looked at her as if she was a lunatic.ââIf youâre sick, go get treated. Why are you acting crazy here?â
âI was just asking.â Zuo Yue blinked and looked at him.â Iâm just asking you. Will you feel anything different?ââ
Zuo Hancheng pulled his arm away with a look of disgust.ââI donât feel anything. How can my own sister feel anything?â
Exactly, what kind of feelings could there be between family members?
However, her feelings for Xu Chengfeng were so strong that it was not just a simple attraction. She had really let her guard down. It was really loveâ¦
