Chapter 317: A Mid-Autumn Night for One Person
He Chuang glanced at the whole room, put the mooncake on the table, gently hugged Guan Lei who came over, and said, "Why don't you take a good rest? Why are you cleaning again?"
Guan Lei hugged his waist, her tone full of tenderness: "I wanted to clean up the room so that you can stay more comfortably."
"But you don't have to clean every day. Your most important thing now is to take good care of the baby and don't overwork yourself."
"I'm not tired. My mom brought me some delicious food today. Wait a minute, I'll get it for you."
"Auntie is here, why don't you let her stay a little longer? I can treat her to a meal."
Guan Lei came out of the kitchen, carrying some desserts and crispy candies, as well as some small snacks like raisins.
With a smile on her face, she said, "Let's wait until next time. This time my mother was in a hurry to go home, so she only stayed for a while."
"it is good."
He Chuang hugged Guan Lei, started to move his mouth towards her face, and his hands started to get naughty.
Guan Lei pretended to push him away and said angrily, "Eat something first."
He Chuang smiled and said, "Don't worry, I still have some strength."
Guan Lei's face turned red like a tomato, "That's not what I meant."
The man, overwhelmed by lust, had lost his hearing and said bluntly: "I want to eat you."
Guan Lei instantly lost her bones and could only lean softly in He Chuang's arms.
He Chuang picked her up, breathing rapidly, and walked quickly towards the room.
It’s good to be young, especially for men who like fitness.
Every time this happened, Guan Lei couldn't help but curse Zhao Yang in her heart.
What sin did she commit to marry such a thing?
That useless thing had never made her happy.
After an intense exercise, He Chuang rested for a while and then started to get dressed, just like he did every time before.
Guan Lei felt a little disappointed, but she still carefully hugged He Chuang's neck and said coquettishly: "Today is a holiday, can you accompany me?"
He Chuang buttoned up his clothes, touched Guan Lei's face, and whispered, "I have something else to do. Let's do it next time."
Guan Lei has heard this sentence too many times.
She was very unhappy.
He Chuang put on his clothes, took out a hundred yuan, and said, "Be good, go buy something delicious."
Guan Lei stared at the money and a surge of anger rose in her heart.
"What do you take me for? A bitch?"
He Chuang was stunned.
He frowned and said, "What's wrong with you? I never thought of it that way."
"But isn't your behavior expressing this? I'm not a fool! Let me ask you, have you ever stayed at my place overnight in all this time?"
"I told you, I'm very busy. I'm not idle every day just to accompany you to eat, drink and have fun."
After a pause, He Chuang sighed, "Can you please stop being unreasonable?"
Guan Lei lost her temper instantly.
Yes, what right does she have to make trouble unreasonably?
She sat up, lowered her head, and said, "I'm sorry, I, I was just impulsive, don't be angry."
"It's okay, you have a good rest, I'm leaving first."
Guan Lei closed her eyes and listened to He Chuang's footsteps fading away.
Every step seemed to step on her chest, making her a little breathless.
It was already past six in the afternoon, but she didn't feel hungry at all having not eaten for the whole day.
In the morning, the mother brought food, which was brought by Aunt Zhang's daughter from other places, but she didn't eat it because she wanted to eat it with He Chuang.
Her belly jumped violently, and Guan Lei looked at it. Only this little life would always be with her.
She dressed slowly and walked into the living room.
She looked at the kitchen, where there were vegetables she had bought specially for the day.
In order to celebrate the founding of the company, she worked hard to practice her cooking skills.
I thought I could show him my skills today, but now, there is no need.
Today is Mid-Autumn Festival and she plans to eat out.
Even though she is just one person.
*
The county government attaches great importance to these traditional festivals and begins hanging red lanterns on both sides of the streets early in the morning.
In the gentle breeze, the lanterns swayed gracefully, as if greeting the bustling crowd.
It was almost evening and everyone came out.
At this time, the streets are filled with laughter. Children are chasing and playing with colorful paper lanterns in their hands, while adults are looking at them with smiles, their faces filled with love and joy.
The small vendors greeted the customers warmly. Long queues formed in front of the mooncake stalls. Various kinds of mooncakes exuded tempting aroma.
Grilled skewers, candied haws, fried noodles, all kinds of snack stalls are crowded with people, and the air is filled with the aroma of delicious food.
The melodious sound of erhu came from the small teahouse on the street, accompanied by people's laughter, and the whole county was filled with a festive atmosphere.
On this bustling street, Guan Lei's figure looks particularly lonely.
Today she was wearing a loose cotton skirt with a long sweater on the outside, and her face looked a little haggard.
She walked slowly among the crowd with a blank look in her eyes, as if she was out of tune with the festivity around her.
Her steps were somewhat heavy, as if every step was carrying endless worries.
what to eat?
She was thinking about having a good meal before going out, but at this moment, she had no appetite at all.
The little life in my belly moved again.
Guan Lei touched her stomach, walked to a snack stand, bought a simple fried noodles, and then found a corner to sit down.
She lowered her head and ate slowly, occasionally looking up at the joyous scene around her, a hint of sadness flashing in her eyes.
Sitting at the next table was a young couple of about her age.
They were happily feeding each other a large plate of hot chicken, with happy smiles on their faces.
Guan Lei looked at the fried noodles in her hand, her nose felt sore, and she lowered her head silently.
Not far away, a large family was sitting together, the table was filled with delicious food, everyone raised their glasses to celebrate, and there was constant laughter.
The excited screams of children and the laughter of adults made Guan Lei feel even more lonely and lost.
She gently stroked her bulging belly with her hand, and her tears could no longer be stopped and flowed out.
She wiped it hard, afraid that others would see it.
Night has fallen, and a bright moon hangs high in the sky, as if washed by water.
She stared at the bright moon.
The bright moon should be a symbol of reunion, but at this moment, she only felt deep loneliness and helplessness.
The fried noodles in her mouth were tasteless. Guan Lei reluctantly ate a few bites, then stood up and slowly left the noisy street.
Various festive music was playing in the small shops on the street. Amid the bright lights, Guan Lei's back looked so thin, as if out of place in this lively Mid-Autumn night.
Her heart was heavy and her steps were slow.
She couldn't help but think of He Chuang, wondering what he was doing at this time?
She gradually disappeared into the night, leaving the joyous scene fading away behind her.
When Guan Lei returned home, she saw a woman standing at the door.
