A month laterâ¦
Zuo Yue was discharged from the hospital, but because she had injured her internal organs when she was shot, although she had recovered a lot, she could not return to school for the time being.
Under her strong request, Xu Chengfeng gave up on hiring a senior nurse to take care of her at the villa. Instead, he stayed at home to take care of the stubborn little troublemaker.
Zuo Yue was really not willful.
Based on her observations over the past month, she could tell that Xu Chengfeng was already pretty much done with his work in the United States. Even if he occasionally received calls from the company and needed to handle some matters, he did not need to be there personally.
It was because she realized that he wasnât very busy lately that she dared to pester him and let him stay at home to accompany her.
If she didnât let him accompany her, he would probably find another reason to go out with that woman named Chries, or he would have plans to return to Russia.
The days after returning to the villa were really leisurely. Other than watching TV and playing with his phone in his room every day, he would stand in front of the window and watch the snow.
Since winter came so quickly, spring would not be far away.
She did not know how long it would take for spring to come between her and her uncle.
The bedroom door was suddenly pushed open. Zuo Yue turned around and saw Xu Chengfeng walking in with a glass of water in one hand and a box of medicine in the other.
âTake your medicine.â The manâs voice was silent but irresistible.
âEvery day, I ask you to come to the bedroom to talk to me for a while, but you refuse. Every time itâs time to take your medicine, youâll appear more punctual than the alarm clock.âZuo Yue said as she walked over with a smile. Although she was still recovering from her injuries, she still ran to him like a happy bird. She took the cup of water and took out the medicine. She put it into her mouth and obediently drank a whole cup of water.
After she finished drinking, she turned the glass upside down.âThen, Iâm done!â
Xu Chengfeng chuckled when he saw how obedient she was. He took the empty glass and suddenly looked at the open window in her room.
âDidnât the doctor tell you to avoid the wind as much as possible? Why did you secretly open the window in the room?âAs Xu Chengfeng spoke, he walked over and closed the window. At the same time, he caught a glimpse of the rows of indistinct but still distinguishable handwriting on the glass.
It was the words that Zuo Yue had written on the window when there was some white smoke on it.
Now that the white gas had disappeared, he could still vaguely see some traces.
It was filled with Xu Chengfeng, I like you, and Ken, I like you. His name was written all over it, and there were circles of heart-shaped patterns around his name.
Seeing those marks, Xu Chengfengâs gaze shifted away and he closed the window without batting an eyelid. When he turned around, he saw Zuo Yue standing behind him, looking at him with a red face.
Xu Chengfengâs expression did not change.â Donât watch your phone or television. Rest more.ââ
With that, he was about to leave.
Zuo Yue stood beside him and muttered softly,ââIâve been back for three days. You say this every day after you come to supervise me taking my medicine. Canât you change it?â
As she spoke, she turned to look at him.
Today, his uncle was wearing a dark brown knitted sweater. He looked very casual and at home. As he had been taking care of him at home recently, he did not go out, so his hair was not done up. It was just that it was clean and fluffy. He really looked like he was living a good life, unlike the man who was high and mighty and was called Boss by Ait.
She really felt like she wanted to spend the rest of her life in peaceâ¦
Xu Chengfeng stopped in his tracks because of her words and looked back at him.ââIâve already stayed behind to take care of you. What else do you want me to say?â
â You can say,âMy dear little darling Zuo Yue, you should watch less of your phone and television. Youâre still recovering from your injuries, so youâll hurt your eyes.â You can also say,âHoney Zuo Yue, my most beloved Zuo Yue.'â Zuo Yue deliberately leaned closer to him as she spoke. She smiled slyly and even put her little head directly beside his arm.âLittle uncle, when exactly do you plan to submit to meâ¦â
Just as she leaned her head on his shoulder, Xu Chengfeng raised his hand and pushed her away.
After Xu Chengfeng pushed her an arm away, he glanced at her indifferently.ââDonât mess around. Go lie down and rest.â
âHow am I messing around? You clearly know that I like you now, and you clearly know that Iâm deliberately pestering you, but youâre not willing to leave. Doesnât this prove that you actually have me in your heart?âZuo Yue suddenly turned around and walked in front of him in a slightly overbearing manner. She reached out to hug him.
Xu Chengfeng gave her a warning look.ââIf you donât listen to me, Iâll go back to Russia tomorrow.â
Zuo Yueâs movements froze, but she rolled her eyes at him unhappily. She leaned back against the door, blocking his way. Then, she glanced at his obviously unhappy expression.âYou only know how to use this sentence to threaten me.â
âMove aside.â Xu Chengfeng frowned when he saw her leaning against the door on purpose.
Zuo Yue stubbornly stood in front of the door and did not move. She raised her small head and looked at him with sparkling eyes.âKiss me!â
âNonsense!â Xu Chengfengâs face turned cold.
Zuo Yue pouted,âKiss me and Iâll let you out.ââ
Xu Chengfengâs expression was ugly as he stared at her stubborn expression.ââIâm already the greatest indulgence I can give you by staying behind to accompany you and take care of you. Before you sort out the emotions in your heart that arenât clear enough, we can only maintain this kind of relationship of taking care of each other.â
â I didnât ask for more. Itâs just a kiss. Even if Iâm just a child and you only treat yourself as my uncle, a kiss on the forehead is also good. Just like how an adult treats a child, a gentle kiss will doâ¦â Zuo Yue pouted as if her eyes were really filled with childishness.
Xu Chengfeng frowned and glanced at her. It was unknown whether he agreed or disagreed.
Zuo Yue continued to lean against the door with a smile. She raised her finger and pointed at her forehead and cheek. Then, she pointed at her mouth with a red face.âThen, there are three places. Choose one and kiss it. After you kiss it, Iâll move away. I wonât pester you!â
Xu Chengfeng was silent.
Zuo Yue smiled and said,â Although I recuperate in my room every day, I wash my face and shower every day. Iâm clean. Thereâs not a single stain on my face. You can kiss me without worry!ââ
âAre you done? You want me to go crazy with you? Donât you know how old you are? Youâre only eighteen. If you were still so persistent when you were twenty-eight, I might be able to face your nonsense. But Zuo Yue, I have no reason to hurt you at your ignorant age. My rejection is the greatest protection for you. Do you understand?â
Zuo Yue stared into his eyes. The more rational you are, the more I like you. The more you protect me, the more I love you!â
