Chapter 29
Zhou Mother smiled very deliberately. 'You are having a family party today? Oh, our family is very lively today helping Zhou Mo meeting his match. The other party conditions are very good. Is the wealthy daughter of a consortium! If all goes well today and there is good news, you will be invited to a wedding dinner. Shu Zen, you must not be polite with me.'
Zhou Mother said those words before leaving. Even if the blind date did not succeed, at least the Song Family will understand the gap between the two.
Song Mother shake her head and directly leave.
Zhou Yue sadly left behind her mother. After passing by Song Anyi, she cautiously stopped. 'Sister Anyi…..'
Song Anyi turned to look at her without a word.
She misses Sister Anyi time in her elder brother home every minute every second. She misses Sister Anyi braised beef ribs and even those sometime terrible little snacks. But what she misses the most is eldest brother satisfied look when sister Anyi is around.
Ever since Sister Anyi ceased contact with them, her older brother whom hardly hang around, stepped up his time in the studies. Expect for sleeping, washing and eating, he spent most of his time in the study because that is where most memories of him and Sister Anyi.
Song Mother is not satisfied. 'Really too much. Want to remind us of their difference? Really confused with the situation! Chasing my daughter, from here till end of the alley would be the queue. Really need to consider the cold-faced Zhou Mo?'
Song Mother is angry and did not notice the pace face of her daughter.
Song Mother and daughter went back to their seat. Song Mother urgently update the family about what just happened. Song Father did not speak. His quiet and paled daughter is making him worried.
'That is very good. I wish him happiness!' Song Brother said in provocation of tone.
Sister-in-law is still very angry. 'Already here for blind date but also staring at Anyi. So sick!'
In view of this, in addition to the heroine, the other two should be the woman's family.
The heroine looks very satisfied with the blind date hero. Also, deliberately lean forward to close the distance between them with no slightest reserved.
'Disgusting!' Sister-in-law exclaimed quickly. 'Originally rich daughter also need to rely on business to please men?'
However, the cold Zhou Mo whom do not bothered with the wealthy daughter did not even resorted to the 'woman advantage'
'Mummy, that aunt's chest is big!'
Xiao Yue innocently praised. 'Stinky child, how old are you? Still not out of milk? What is the big deal!'
Xiao Yue touched his head and his eyes were inexplicable red, deflated mouth wanting to cry. He remembered little aunt said, if misbehaved in the restaurant then Xiao Mi will not like him…….
The whole family is upset with the other family, so no one comforting the innocent him, only the little aunt whom touched his head with comfort. Woo….. the world only had little aunt whom is the best…. But his little aunt mood looks not so good, eyes still red red……
Song Anyi is quiet. Blinking the eyes, her heart only had one idea…. Since he is getting married then she will not be bothered by him. She could let him go?
In such a weird atmosphere, Song Father's birthday party ended.
The group of people not willing to stay and move to the door. Sister-in-law and brother went to pay the bill. Song Father accompany the twins to the toilet. Song Mother and daughter wait for them at the restaurant door.
Unexpectedly, this 'surprise' of the night is not over yet. Zhou Mo even bring over the coat that Song Anyi forgot to the door.
Looking at his appearance, Song Anyi had a thousand thought. She always thought about how she will react when they meet again? Would it be anger or shame? Or what stupid thing she will do. But she did not expect that when she really meet him, there is only one emotion - grievances. She want to cry, wronged heart bursting out.
'Your coat.'
Looking at her appearance, he had once had thousands of thoughts about meeting her on the street. What would happen when they meet again? Would it be anger or grievances, angry at her words or feeling wronged that she gave up on him? But he did not expect that when he really meet her, he only had one emotion - heart-broken. Heart-broken at Anyi's gray sad face, distressed till his heart is about to burst!
Song Anyi did not speak. Her stiff head is down as if alienated from him.
On the side, Song Mother unhappily rushed over. 'Zhou Mo, my family Anyi did not want to speak to you. Thank you for your help in sending over the coat. Give it to me!'
But Zhou Mo did not give the coat to Song Mother but step forward personally to put them on Anyi's shoulder.
Man's madness is too mad. Too sad, even Song Mother is not able to confront him but only startled while looking at the man without a word.
His hands did not leave her shoulders. The distance between them is so close to the extend they are breathing into each other. As long as he bowed, he could kiss her hair….
'It's cold outside. I am glad that you're accepting this gift.' The man's tone was light his eyes slightly cautiously fragile.
After a brief quietness, Song Anyi once again armed herself. She took a step back and never once lifted her head.
She was a little embarrassed that she could not decide to accept or reject his gift. She wondered how to return it to him…. Maybe if she had insisted on packing it up, it would have been sent back long ago….
'Thank you, Professor Zhou. In fact, you do not need to do so.'
Zhou Mo looked at her skinny face. It is only a short period of two weeks. How could she become this skinny?
'You have lost weight.'
The voice of the man suppressed both worries and gentle. Song Anyi's heart is pulled into a tense string.
Professor Zhou had more thought.
'How are you lately?'
'I am very good.'
He stared at her. Her gaze was strongly trying to avoid him. And seeing each other two weeks later, nothing to say but the strong huge emotions continue to impact!
Zhou Mo looked at her. Even if Anyi droop eye avoid his sight, he was still carefully staring at her. Even if she behaves alienated, even if she was tight lips without any laughter, he will pursue every opportunity to meet her like crazy. Even if he had to had dinner at a table with stranger as long as he could see her.
Song Mother said: 'Mr Zhou, if there are nothing else, we…'
'I cannot find the change of bedsheets.'
Zhou Mo suddenly said the sentence, shocking Anyi. She looked up and could only stare at him.
As always, the man looked serious like how he usually explained things. He finally saw her lifting her head to see her beautiful eyes. His strange dark pupil shining, different from the usual burning.
She bites her teeth, avoiding his gaze. This man is bent on reminding her about what happen? The sheet…. When she thought of the little traces left that morning, this clean-cut man would have not changed the sheet since then?
'I will tell Zhang Sister where the bedsheet was placed.' She said, trying hard not to think about the dirty sheet. She could not forget even half a minute about the process when getting the sheet dirty. Her cheek is turning red.
'I will not let other people clean up the master bedroom.' The man added. And because of the faint blush on her cheeks, his tone had become more pleasant.
Song Anyi gritted her teeth. She is very clear that he is a lonely man. She did not want to think that she is the only person who can walk into his room!
'I will ask Sister Zhang to pass you the fresh sheet!' She was embarrassed in her response.
'And, I cannot also find the flower tea.' The man attacked again as if to instruct her and reminding her of the memories between them.
She did not look at him, bitterly said: 'I did not leave them behind.'
'You said that bone china tea set is used with flower tea.'
Yes ah, do not have to remind her that her baby bone china tea set and her little white car is still at his house. She did not have enough time to ask for her belonging back when she saw the hurried heading forward them, Zhou Mother and the blind date heroine. Zhou Mother looks like a guardian beast-like alert.
Song Anyi dully self-deprecating. Quiet eyes greet Zhou Mo burning eyes. 'Professor Zhou, you can choose your favourite Longjing tea. Flower tea is too cheap, not worthy of you.'
Zhou Mo with his lonely face replied: 'You did not ask me. How do you know that I am used to drinking Longjing instead of flower tea?'
