Chapter 10: Miss You
He had been in the hotel for two more days before the company had notified Su Yu that someone would be coming to continue the work with him soon. He was a little helpless, but thinking that the remuneration for this trip and the future development were both good, he had to endure it.
It was getting dark early here. The sunset had burned the clouds clean at seven or eight o’clock, and the sky was dark and gloomy. The tall buildings were connected to the tall buildings, and the neon lights were flashing. Occasionally, he could see a few scattered stars.
Su Yu was lying on his back on the bed, and he was fiddling with his phone. Gu Zhi seemed to have really left this time. He had just had a little bit of a thought, but he had suddenly found that he could not contact the other party at all. She had sold the villa, and she had not left him a phone number. She was like a handful of sand that could not be held, and she had been scattered by the wind.
He had rubbed his temples and had simply given up. He had sent her a message to report his safety, and he had thrown his phone aside. He had then buried his head and had started to prepare the materials for the meeting with other companies. He had been busy until after eleven o’clock at night, and his eyes were sore and wet. When he had had a break, he had found that his phone, which had been on silent, had received several calls.
Su Yu was a little stunned. He had rubbed his eyes and had seen the caller clearly, and he had suddenly had a headache. Too many things had happened in these two days, and his spirit was not good. And besides, he had been too busy with work and had forgotten. He usually had to send a message to report, and the weekend was the day they had agreed to have a video call.
He had stood in front of the mirror and had casually played with his hair a few times. He had relaxed his stiff muscles from working for too long, and his whole person had looked much more energetic. He had dialed Xia Qiange’s phone.
“Hello…”
The phone had connected, and he had heard the familiar breathing on the other end. He had just opened his mouth when it had been hung up with a beep.
Su Yu was staring at the screen in a daze. He had thought that she would be angry again, but he had not expected that she would just hang up on him. This was a treatment he had never encountered before.
His heart had sunk even more. He had been on a business trip, and he had said that he had believed her. He had originally thought that a month would be enough, but now it had been delayed again and again.
The blood in his blood vessels was thick and cloudy. He was caressing the screen with his abdomen, and he was suddenly uneasy.
After a long while, he was thinking of a remedy, and another video call had come in.
The internet in the house was not good. He had rushed to the balcony in a panic. The phone in his hand was like a bomb with its fuse lit. He was afraid that the other end would explode, and it would be out of control. After so long, she was still as fragile as porcelain. The dense and numerous cracks were spreading from the bottom up, and it was as if it would be shattered with a light touch.
His fingertips were trembling, and he had immediately answered the call. His face was still calm, and he was looking at the screen.
She seemed to have just taken a shower, and she was leaning on the bed. Her dark and smooth hair was drooping on her shoulders, and she was wearing a plain black slip dress. Her shoulders and neck were slender and could be held in one hand. Her beautiful bones were very thin under a thin layer of skin. She was not wearing any makeup, and her dark black eyes were wet, as if they had been washed with water. The blood color had been washed away, and her pale face was so pale that it was heartbreaking.
Su Yu had looked at the bright lights on her side, and the lights in the house were on. It was as if she were afraid of the dark. He had also seen the expression on her face clearly. Her messy hair was covering her eyes, and the color of her eyes that was revealed was gloomy and dark. Her face was pale. His heart had been choked, and his breathing was light. He was afraid that he would accidentally break her with a single touch.
His heart was tight, and it had sunk and had sunk. He had made the worst plan. He had to go back. This trip of work might just be in vain.
Xia Qiange had squinted her eyes and was staring at him. After a long while, her voice had slowly come out from the receiver. “Why don’t you turn on the light? I can’t even see your face.”
“Oh, oh. I’m on the balcony.”
Su Yu had answered and had fumbled on the wall for a while. He had found the switch, and the white incandescent light above his head had lit up. The light in the night was hazy, and it had slowly outlined the contours of his face, and his gaze was gentle and calm.
“Alright, alright. This looks much better.”
Unexpectedly, Su Yu had seen her smile, and her eyes were shining. It was as if she were satisfied just by looking at him.
“What are you doing? You’re not answering my calls.”
“Work.” He had paused for a moment and had said vaguely, “I was busy and forgot. We were supposed to have a video call today.”
“Not just today.” She had squinted her eyes and was looking at him. The words she had said had made the back of his neck cold. “The message you sent me last night was only sent to me in the early morning. That doesn’t count as the same day. Did something happen?”
A sensitive and fragile woman would instinctively pay attention to details, and her sixth sense was amazing.
Su Yu had opened his mouth, and in the end, he had said in a muffled voice, “I’m sorry…”
“I don’t want to hear you say these things. Are you being charmed by other girls? Have you been chaste?”
“There is one…”
He had looked at the girl for a while, and her eyes had widened, and she had bitten her lip. He had immediately continued to say, “It’s Gu Zhi. She found me, and then she left.”
He had thought that she would really be angry this time. He had not expected that she would quickly change the subject, as if she didn’t care at all. She had asked him if he had lost weight, and he had smiled and had said no.
“What about you? Have you been eating well, and sleeping on time? Don’t stay at your desk for too long…”
She had shaken her head at all of them and had patted her chest and had said that she had taken good care of herself, and that he should rest assured.
“It’s my turn to ask you. Have you missed me?”
Xia Qiange had tilted her head, and her hair was like a waterfall, and it was scattered. She had finally gained some weight on her bones, and her bright and moist eyes were blinking like a cat.
He had lowered his eyes, and his eyelashes had trembled a few times in the darkness. His eyes were a little deep. He had pursed his lips and had thought for a while. He was not so frivolous, and his voice was a little sandy from the evening wind.
“Yeah, I miss you. It’s not as good outside as it is at home.”
“Really?”, she had looked at his eyes with a suspicious look. After a while, she had nodded, and her face was calm. “Alright, I believe you.”
“Why is the screen black?”
Su Yu had thought that there was a problem with his phone. He had found that the camera on the other end had been covered.
“Nothing. I… I’m sleepy.”
Xia Qiange had put her phone on the bed and had covered her chest. Her heart was beating so fast that she couldn’t keep up with her breathing. Her eyes were burning hot, and they were filled with tears.
When had he become so good at talking? Why wasn’t he so good at pleasing her when they were face to face? She was lying on her stomach, and her calves were in the air and were swaying. In the end, she had very restrainedly suppressed her voice. “Then I’ll go to sleep.”
“Oh, oh.” He had been stunned for a while and had repeatedly said okay. “Go to sleep early.”
Xia Qiange had rolled her eyes, and her charm was alluring. It was a pity that his screen was dark and he couldn’t see it.
“Be good at home alone.” Su Yu had added.
“Okay, I… I know.”
She had suddenly glanced at the half-open suitcase by the side of the bed. It was already more than half full. The computer screen on the table was the ticket for these two days. She was suddenly guilty, and she felt a little sorry for him. She had originally planned to be two days late, but his words had been in her mind again and again. Happiness, joy, and a little bit of a loss from him not being by her side were all mixed together, and they were slowly luring her already-agitated heart.
She couldn’t hold it in anymore. The feeling of being impatient was probably immediate, right away!
She had again shamelessly blown hot air in his ear, and her tone was well-behaved and obedient. She had called his name. “Su Yu…”
“Hmm?”
“Actually, I also miss you very much. I always have.”
Su Yu had let out a light sigh, and he couldn’t help but slowly curl his lips.
“Go to sleep. Good night.”
She had also replied to him sweetly.
“Good night.”
