Xin Gan saw from the terrace upstairs that Cheng Jiu's car was still parked by the roadside. He hadn't left and had no idea what he was doing in the car. It was getting late and the road was quiet. No one passed by.
Auntie went upstairs and saw Xin Gan standing barefoot on the terrace. She asked in puzzlement, "Xin Gan?" What are you looking at?
Xin Gan came to her senses and hurriedly said, "No, it's okay." She lowered the curtain, closed the glass door, went back into the room and asked the aunt, "Auntie, haven't you slept yet?"
Remembering that the door upstairs wasn't closed, I went up and closed it. It's you. Why are you standing there motionless? So late and still awake? Has Mr. Cheng left?
Xin Gan said, "Well, I just left. The room is a bit stuffy. I'm going out to get some fresh air."
The aunt didn't believe her refusal and said with ease, "You must be looking at Mr. Cheng. His car hasn't left yet. I've already seen it."
Xin Gan felt a little embarrassed but said nothing more.
It was still the aunt's tone as if she had come over, saying, "Little girl, you're shy. During this passionate period of love, I understand."
Xin Gan was even more embarrassed and made an excuse to go back to his room first.
It was almost like running all the way back to the room.
...
Cheng Jiu didn't follow the doctor's advice. He still smoked a cigarette before driving away.
However, he didn't go back home. Instead, he went to his house in the city center. After arriving, he sent a text message to Xin Gan, asking her to come out tomorrow and talk to her about something.
I originally intended to bring her here tonight, but considering it was getting late and she hadn't changed her clothes yet, I didn't mention it.
He folded his clothes and rested his head on the sofa, staring at the ceiling with the corners of his mouth curled up all the time. He was in a good mood. Nothing could make him happier than what happened today.
He was unusually excited and naturally couldn't fall asleep. It was so late and he had no idea if she was asleep.
She didn't reply to the text message. Cheng Jiu held his phone and looked at it for a while. Finally, he received her reply.
She replied with a word, "OK."
Cheng Jiu thought for a moment and made a phone call.
...
Xin Gan took a bath and was drying her hair when she heard a text message ring on her phone. She walked over and took a look at the phone. It was from Cheng Jufa.
He asked her out tomorrow.
She doesn't have a job at the moment either. Even on weekdays, she doesn't need to go to work, so she just replied, "OK."
She never thought of refusing to meet him.
I've already got the certificate. So why avoid him? Just be honest with yourself and get along with him.
As for the previously planned ones, they have to be disrupted and re-planned.
Besides, having come this far, it's too late to regret. She and Cheng Jiu have been completely tied together. There's no way out for her to regret.
She really likes him. She likes him all over, from head to toe.
Just as he was lost in thought, Cheng Jiu called directly.
After Xin Gan picked up the phone, she heard him call her name in a very low voice and ask her, "Why haven't you slept yet?"
Just washed my hair. Wait for it to dry.
"Still washing your hair so late?"
She has long hair and it doesn't dry well when washed at night.
Xin Gan scratched her hair and said, "I sweated a little during the day. If I don't wash it, I won't be able to sleep."
"Virgo?" "Cleanliness obsession?" When Cheng Jiu said this, there was a smile in his voice.
Xin Gan figured it out, but she didn't know if he was laughing at her for being a Virgo or for being overly particular about cleanliness. But she wasn't a Virgo after all. It's quite normal for girls to be clean, isn't it?
"A little obsessive about cleanliness."
Cheng Jiu suddenly became serious and said, "Then we'll sleep in separate beds later."
"..." Xin Gan was really not as thick-skinned as him. He just stood there, not knowing what to say.
After a few dozen seconds, Cheng Jiu asked her again, "Can I pick you up at ten tomorrow?"
Even if he wants to go and find her right now and bring her over.
Xin Gan said, "Ten o 'clock. Is it so early?"
"Well, accompany me to the mall to do some shopping." His injury was still not healed. Meng Shanchang originally didn't agree to let him go back immediately and asked him to continue recuperating for a while. But he couldn't sit still. He wanted to settle Xin Gan first and then go back. The wedding he owed Xin Gan would be made up at the end of the year.
"Ok. Then it's ten o 'clock tomorrow."
"Um."
Xin Gan licked his lips and said, "Is there anything else?"
"That's it. Then you rest. I'm hanging up now."
Good night. Xin Gan's voice was gentle and soft.
Although Cheng Jiu wanted to have another chat with her, he couldn't bear to let her stay up late. Besides, it was almost twelve o 'clock. So he hung up the phone and asked her to go and rest.
...
That night, Xin Gan didn't sleep well and was indescribable in his excitement.
Because she didn't sleep well, she had dark circles under her eyes, so she had to put on makeup to cover them up. She casually applied lipstick in the most ordinary shade, neither exaggerated nor eye-catching. Her outfit was very ordinary. She also wore a black dress with a halter top that accentuated her figure and cinched her waist, looking very cool and having a touch of seductive sexiness.
Xin Gan was dressed quite beautifully. When she went downstairs, she met Xin's mother. Xin's mother looked comforted but said, "Are you going out today?"
"Well, go out for a while."
Who are you going with? Are you going shopping with your friends? Mother Xin said.
Xin Gan suspected that Xin's mother had deliberately asked. She had just got her marriage certificate with Cheng Jiu yesterday and was going out today. Besides Cheng Jiu, who else could she go with?
Mother Xin didn't wait for Xin Gan's reply and instructed, "Then come back early. Don't play too late. If you can't come back, call me in advance. I'll ask Auntie not to cook your meal."
Xin Gan walked out of the house almost blushing.
Cheng Jiu arrived early and was leaning against the car door smoking.
He has a heavy smoking habit and is a heavy smoker. His low voice is also related to his smoking.
Cheng Jiu took a puff of smoke and was puffing away when he saw Xin Gan come out. His face turned dark instantly.
He almost lost his face for a moment.
Xin Gan was a bit confused and didn't know what was going on. She didn't dare to ask either. Timidly standing firm, she said, "Good morning."
Cheng Jiu sized her up from top to bottom without showing any emotion. With a heavy nasal tone, he hummed and said, "Get in the car."
It's a little cold.
Xin Gan felt a bit down in his heart. It seemed that he was not very happy?
As for why she was suddenly unhappy, she wasn't quite clear.
...
Yesterday, Xin's mother saw a car not far from Xin Gan's position and naturally saw Xin Gan and Cheng Jiu as well. After they got into the car and left, Xin's mother smiled with relief and turned back to tell her aunt, "There's no need to cook Xin Gan's meal tonight. She won't come home to eat."
