Chapter 534: A Chance Encounter in Front of the Community
After Guo Jinchen left, Yu Xiaoai felt a little absent-minded.
Su Jinqi advised her: "It's just a matter in the company. I'll come back when it's done."
Yu Xiaoai nodded and said a little worriedly: "It's a big holiday. If something suddenly happens in the company and I call him back, it must be a big deal. I don't know whether he can come back or not."
"Yeah, judging from his nervous expression on the phone just now, it probably couldn't be an ordinary matter." Su Jinqi said to her, "It's okay, he can handle it."
At one o'clock in the morning, Yu Xiaoai was lying on the sofa, waiting for Guo Jinchen to come back.
On the sofa at her feet was Xu Zhehan's snoring. She didn't dare to be in the living room by herself, so she asked him to come and accompany her.
She yawned, forced her eyes open, and played with her phone to prevent herself from falling asleep.
Suddenly, a WeChat message came on the phone, it was from Guo Jinchen.
"Xiao Ai, are you asleep?" he asked.
Yu Xiaoai immediately sat up and replied to him instantly: "I haven't slept yet. I'm waiting for you to come back."
Guo Jinchen said: "Xiao Ai, I'm sorry, things in the company are quite tricky. I have to fly to country B now. You should go to bed early."
Yu Xiaoai looked at the message he sent, and for a moment, she felt disappointed.
"Are you going abroad? How many days will it take you to go abroad?"
"I don't know the details. I'll contact you when I come back. During the few days I'm away, you have to be good and don't run around. I'll try to get things settled before the holiday."
"Then please be safe."
"Okay, go to bed quickly. Good night."
Yu Xiaoai knew that he was busy now, so she turned off her phone without saying anything.
Lying on the sofa again, her mind was filled with thoughts. She felt that both she and Guo Jinchen were working towards reconciliation.
"Come, drink!" Xu Zhehan talked in his sleep.
Yu Xiaoai kicked him gently with her toes, "You're still drinking. Look how drunk you are!"
She turned over, resting her head on her hands, thinking about Guo Jinchen, and gradually fell asleep.
Just like that, the days flew by and it was October 5th. This day was the day when the Yu family returned from their trip.
This morning, Xiao Ai and Xiao Ba returned home early to clean up briefly and welcome their parents back.
At around ten o'clock, the old couple dragged their tired bodies open the door of their home. After entering, they lay weakly on the sofa.
"Dad, Mom!" Yu Xiaoai asked in panic: "What's wrong with you?"
"Tired." Zhang Yi said weakly.
Yu Xiaoai poured some water for the two elders and said, "Drink some water first. Have you had breakfast?"
"Have breakfast." Yu Zhenghong sat up, took the water, took a sip, and said: "The food we eat out is quite good. Your mother and I are just getting older and can't keep up with our physical strength. We spend the whole day
I wandered around a lot, and before my body could recover, I went to the next scenic spot, and I never replenished my energy."
"Isn't it a slow swim? Why are you in such a hurry?" she asked in confusion.
Zhang Yi drank the water, waved her hand and said, "That's it. Who can really swim slowly? It's just a little slower. If we really swim slowly, we won't be able to come back in two months."
Yu Xiaoai said distressedly: "Look, you two are both tanned."
"It's weird if it's not dark when we walk outside every day!" Zhang Yi stood up, dragged his heavy bag to the room, and said, "I'll catch up on my sleep first. If you need anything, I'll talk to you after I wake up."
Yu Zhenghong walked towards another hut and said, "Then I'll sleep in this hut. Your mother snores too much, which affects my rest."
Yu Xiaoai watched the old couple finish washing and go back to their respective rooms. She hugged Xiaoba and asked, "They are all sleeping, are you sleeping?"
"Woo."
"Aren't you going to sleep? Mom, let's take you out for a walk." Yu Xiaoai said with a smile, "By the way, let's buy some food and come back."
She put a leash on Xiaoba and led him outside.
After walking around the community for three or four times, Yu Xiaoai took Xiaoba to buy vegetables at the farmer's market not far from the community. As soon as she walked out of the community gate, she suddenly saw a familiar figure standing on the roadside making a phone call.
It's Lin Zhan.
She thought she had recognized the wrong person, so she rubbed her eyes and looked carefully, and it turned out to be him, yes.
She walked over slowly, just as he had just hung up the phone. She patted his shoulder in surprise and shouted: "Lin Zhan!"
Lin Zhan turned around suddenly, also quite surprised, "Xiao Ai?"
Yu Xiaoai said happily: "Is it really you? When I saw you just now, I thought I had mistakenly admitted the wrong person. Why are you here?"
Lin Zhan smiled and said, "Ah, what? I have a friend's wedding tomorrow. I came over today and couldn't find the place."
"Really? Show me the address and I'll take you there." Yu Xiaoai said, "So you're here to attend a wedding."
Lin Zhan took out his mobile phone and clicked on a screenshot in the photo album. It showed the address of a hotel.
"Ah, Maplewood Hotel, it's quite far from here. Let me take you there. Taking the subway is a bit complicated. I'm afraid you won't understand." Yu Xiaoai said, "Wait for me here first. I'll take you there."
Send Xiaoba home."
Lin Zhan watched her walking quickly home with her dog, with a smile that couldn't be hidden on her face. She clicked on a certain profile picture in WeChat and said happily: "I finally waited until she came out!"
The message came back quickly: it was a girl's voice, saying to him: "Congratulations, you are successful in waiting for the rabbit. Where will you take your little rabbit to play soon? By the way, didn't she ask you when she saw you?
?”
"Asked, I found an excuse to make up for it." Lin Zhan said, "I won't talk to you anymore. I told some lies. I will try to find a way to make up for it now."
Yu Xiaoai sent Xiaoba home, changed out of her home clothes into formal clothes, and then went out with her bag.
Lin Zhan stood on the side of the road like a green pine, watching Yu Xiaoai come over, smiling as she walked in front of him, her heart pounding as if it was about to jump out of her chest.
"I haven't seen you for a few days. You seem a little fat?" Lin Zhan asked with a smile.
Yu Xiaoai touched her cheek a little embarrassed and said, "I've been staying at my best friend's house these past few days. Her chef's cooking is very delicious, and I've gained weight these past few days."
After she finished speaking, she pointed to the right and said, "Let's go this way."
The two of them were walking and chatting.
"You are serious, why didn't you look for me when you came to Ningcheng? You were lost and stood on the road, and you didn't think of me?" Yu Xiaoai asked him angrily.
Lin Zhan said: "I came here with my friends today, but something happened before, and I appeared in front of your community by accident. I planned to find you, and I wanted to see you after the wedding tomorrow.
I'll call you."
"I didn't expect that God couldn't wait any longer and allowed us to meet so early." Yu Xiaoai said with a joking smile.
