Chapter 272 Song Shuyue is a foodie
Song Shuyue wasn't blind; she couldn't ignore the dark circles under his eyes. "I'll drive."
Xie Junchen nodded. If he were to push himself any further at this point, he would truly be driving while fatigued.
"Wake up, Xie Junchen, it's time for you to get off the bus." Song Shuyue patted his face, not caring at all whether he was sleeping soundly or not.
Xie Junchen opened his eyes groggily, looking puzzled. "Yueyue, are we home yet?"
Song Shuyue: "You've arrived! I've already booked your hotel room and had someone bring it up for you. Hurry up and get out of the car!"
The word "hotel" instantly jolted Xie Junchen awake, all traces of sleepiness vanishing.
Looking out the window, I could see the hotel entrance.
She asked incredulously, "Yueyue, you're letting me stay in a hotel?"
Xie Junchen felt a chill run down his spine as he stared at Song Shuyue's expression, wondering if she was joking.
Seeing her expressionless face as she played on her phone, Xie Junchen's heart sank completely. She really wanted to leave him alone in the hotel.
How could she be so cruel?
They are now in a relationship!
They should naturally be together.
Xie Junchen approached her pitifully, trying to seduce her with his good looks, but as it turned out, he underestimated his place in Song Shuyue's heart.
Three minutes later, Xie Junchen's face was covered in bright red marks from the slap. He stood alone in the breeze, bewildered, watching the car drive away with lingering reluctance.
Woohoo!
After washing up, Xie Junchen lay in bed and started texting Song Shuyue: "Have you eaten?"
【What are you doing? 】
Where do you live? Can I come over?
Is Yueyue busy?
Several messages he sent went unanswered. Xie Junchen threw his phone on the bedside table and sighed. It had only just begun, and he was already feeling anxious and uncertain.
I miss her so much, I want to see her so much.
With a loud rumble, a storm was brewing. Xie Junchen suddenly sat up in bed, feeling as if heaven was on his side.
Xie Junchen deliberately wore a white, somewhat sheer shirt when leaving the hotel.
After learning about some things to be aware of abroad, Song Shuyue shut down her computer, turned on her phone, and saw that she had 99+ messages.
Song Shuyue paused, opened the message, and saw that it was full of messages from Xie Junchen. The last message said that he had come to find her.
Just as Song Shuyue was about to speak, she heard a loud rumble, followed by heavy rain. The pattering rain made her feel uneasy.
Don't come looking for me. Go back.
The message was sent, but no one replied.
Song Shuyue irritably threw her phone on the bed. Xie Junchen was such a troublemaker. She shouldn't have agreed to his request. What kind of favor was this? She was just asking for trouble.
You've created this trouble for yourself.
He pinched the bridge of his nose and went into the bathroom to wash up before talking.
Xie Junchen saw her message and replied with a smile, "[Yueyue, I want to see you. I'll go back after seeing you.]"
Xiao Zhou opened the car door and handed him the umbrella. "Mr. Xie, are you really going to do this? It's raining so hard right now, you'll catch a cold. For your health, I think..."
Before he could finish speaking, Xie Junchen interrupted, "What cold? What's wrong with me, a grown man, getting caught in the rain? Nothing good ever comes at a price, don't you understand that? Go back now!"
After saying that, Xie Junchen walked alone into the pouring rain. Xiao Zhou took a deep breath, shook his head helplessly, and said, "Love is really hard to fathom. I think I'd better not fall in love in the future."
An hour after Song Shuyue finished washing up, she finally saw three messages on her phone: "[Shuyue, I want to see you. Just one meeting, and then I'll go back.]"
[Yueyue, I'm at your doorstep. I know it's inappropriate for a man and woman to meet alone so late at night, so please ignore me. I'll just stand here for a bit and then go back to the hotel.]
[Yueyue, it's getting late, you should get some rest.]
Song Shuyue: "..." Does he think I'm an idiot?!
Song Shuyue tightened her grip on her phone slightly, took a deep breath, and drew back the curtains. The person standing in the heavy rain was none other than Xie Junchen.
Song Shuyue was almost amused by his childish behavior. Did he really think of himself as a three-year-old?
They even resorted to such clumsy tactics.
Song Shuyue covered her face and laughed, then turned and went downstairs. She opened the door, and Xie Junchen's eyes lit up when he saw it. "Yueyue, I'm so sorry, I must have bothered you!"
Song Shuyue: "..." Pretend! Keep pretending.
Xie Junchen lowered his head in disappointment. "Yueyue, I know that this relationship was something I forced. I shouldn't have expected you to treat me differently. I'm sorry for disturbing your peace. I'll leave right away. Please don't be angry."
Song Shuyue: "..." Sometimes I really wonder if their identities have been switched. I always feel that there is something wrong with these words coming from Xie Junchen's mouth, but when he says them, they seem to fit his personality.
His soaked white shirt clung to his heaving chest, and shimmering silver light clung to the hollows of his collarbone. A few strands of black hair fell across his brow bone, and water droplets slid down the bridge of his nose to the peak of his lips.
A gust of wind blew by, lifting the hem of his clothes, revealing his pale waistline through the fabric.
Xie Junchen raised his head, and after he finished speaking, his Adam's apple rolled sharply in the rain.
Her eyelashes were damp with moisture, her face was handsome yet sharp, and her deep eyes were pitiful.
Song Shuyue: "..." Now I understand a little better what it means to be a femme fatale.
Seeing that she remained silent for a long time, Xie Junchen gritted his teeth, turned around, and was about to leave.
After walking about five or six steps, Song Shuyue still didn't say anything to stop him. Xie Junchen was already feeling uneasy, but he could only grit his teeth and continue walking out step by step.
Just as he was about to step out of the corner, Xie Junchen suddenly stopped in his tracks.
Seeing that he didn't move, Song Shuyue asked with a hint of teasing, "Why aren't you leaving?"
Xie Junchen stiffened upon hearing her icy voice. She... had already seen through his intentions, hadn't she?
Xie Junchen turned around abruptly, "Yueyue, are you just trying to play me for a fool?"
Song Shuyue was wearing a pink and white nightgown. Her hair was dried and draped smoothly and blackly over her shoulders. Her face was fair and glowing. She crossed her arms over her chest, and a half-smile played in her clear, beautiful eyes.
Her posture was both languid and dignified.
"What makes you say that? What do you mean I'm playing you for a fool? Didn't you say you were coming to see me and then leaving? Xie Junchen, shouldn't a person keep their word? Or do you have ulterior motives?"
Xie Junchen didn't know how to explain. He was flustered and his uneasy eyes showed his helplessness after being exposed.
"Yueyue, you know perfectly well who I am."
Before she could finish speaking, Song Shuyue immediately denied it, saying, "I don't know!"
Xie Junchen was truly at a loss for what to do.
Song Shuyue gave a sneer, "Xie Junchen, I'm not stupid. Shouldn't you have said that I was just playing with you?"
Xie Junchen hurriedly waved his hand, "No, it's not that I didn't want to play a trick on you, Yueyue. I admit that I came here on purpose to make you feel sorry for me. I was thinking of using a self-inflicted injury and a handsome man to get you to let me into the house, but now it seems impossible."
As he spoke, he lowered his head, his voice growing weaker and weaker. "Yueyue, I'm sorry. I should have known better than to bother you. But I think you really do want to be with me. Since you've already seen through my little tricks, I'll just ask directly. Yueyue, can I come in and sit down? Although we're a couple now, don't worry, I won't do anything out of line. I just don't want to be alone in a lonely hotel."
Song Shuyue: "If you don't want to be alone, go to any bar. There are lots of people there, and you'll never feel lonely."
Xie Junchen: "Yueyue, you know perfectly well that's not what I meant. I just..."
Before he could finish speaking, the door slammed shut with a loud bang, leaving Xie Junchen's outstretched hand hanging in mid-air.
"Yueyue."
Xie Junchen waited for a long time until the lights went out, then he left dejectedly. Xiao Zhou was still waiting in the same spot. When he saw Master Xie walk back in a daze, he had already guessed what would happen.
He quickly opened the car door for him. "Mr. Xie, are you alright? You've been standing in the rain for so long, why don't you go to the hospital?"
Xie Junchen remained silent, got into the car, and said, "Back to the hotel."
No amount of seduction or self-inflicted injury tactics worked.
Song Shuyue wasn't buying it.
Xie Junchen leaned back dejectedly. As Xiao Zhou got into the passenger seat, he asked, "Xiao Zhou, tell me, am I really annoying?"
Xiao Zhou, eager to survive, said, "Master Xie, how could that be? Master Xie is the most perfect man in the world. In my heart, no one can compare to you."
Xie Jun said self-deprecatingly, "Then why does Song Shuyue have no good feelings towards me at all? I tried my best to squeeze into her life. I don't expect her to like me. I just hope that she can give me a little bit of emotion that is different from others. But in her eyes, I am always a clown."
Xiao Zhou wanted to say something, but Xie Junchen didn't give him a chance and continued, "Actually, I know that all of this was forced by me. It was all wishful thinking on my part. I was delusional, trying to touch her who was out of reach. But Xiao Zhou, do you think I really did something wrong? It's Mingyue, everyone wants her. I couldn't control my excitement, I couldn't suppress my longing for her, so I took advantage of her and kept getting closer, which made me disliked. Wasn't I terrible?"
Xiao Zhou: "..." To be honest, you've told me all your shortcomings.
I can't pick any more.
“Mr. Xie, I think Miss Song is no ordinary person. She is outstanding and self-disciplined. It is because of these qualities that you are so devoted to her. So I think you don’t need to feel inferior. In my opinion, you have already obtained something from Miss Song that others have not. At least one thing I can be sure of is that you have a special place in Miss Song’s heart.”
Even if it's a negative impact, doesn't that count?
Upon hearing Xiao Zhou's statement, Xie Junchen suddenly raised his head. "Xiao Zhou, you're right. I was too hasty and didn't know how to proceed step by step. We had just gotten together, and I wanted to be alone with her in a room. I practically had my intentions written all over my face. I didn't think things through tonight."
Xiao Zhou looked at the spirited Xie Junchen and gave a stiff smile.
He knew that someone like Xie Junchen would never engage in internal strife.
He's like an unkillable cockroach when it comes to what he wants.
After returning home, Xie Junchen did his homework on dating overnight, taking notes in a notebook and clearly writing down all the normal developments between couples.
Dressed neatly, he arrived at Song Shuyue's house early in the morning and rang the doorbell.
Song Shuyue was in a bad mood when she woke up. She stared at him with a gloomy face and no expression.
"You'd better have something really important to say."
Xie Junchen, carrying several large bags of groceries, grinned and said, "Yueyue, I'm sorry I disturbed your sleep. I came to make you breakfast. I don't have a key to your place, so I had to use the hidden doorbell. Yueyue, please continue sleeping. I promise I won't disturb you again. I'll make you breakfast quietly, okay?"
Song Shuyue coldly refused, "No, I don't need it." Then she turned to close the door.
Xie Junchen quickly blocked the door. "Yueyue, I'm your boyfriend. This is what I should do. Please give me a chance. If you're not satisfied, I promise I won't bother you tomorrow."
