Chapter 989: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon-He’s Here (74)
Zuo Yue’s eyes paused. She slowly turned her head and looked at the cleaning staff. Her eyes trembled twice, but she did not say anything.
“Ah, young people nowadays.” The cleaning staff shook his head.” Since you can’t see her, then don’t wait anymore. Even if you stand here until tomorrow morning, she definitely won’t show up. I think you’ve been waiting here for hours.”
Zuo Yue’s hand was still holding the stack of movie tickets and she did not say anything.
Yes, she knew that he wouldn’t come…
It was already eleven o’clock at night. If he was going to come, he would have come long ago.
If she was just late, he would definitely call to tell her.
However, he did not respond. It was as if he had not seen the text message that day.
What was she waiting for?
Wait for him to completely give up?
Or was he punishing himself for gradually waking up to a relationship that shouldn’t exist?
However, she felt that her head was constantly burning. Not only did she not wake up, but she would rather freeze her body and numb her limbs than give up…
Uncle, are you really… Didn’t you like me before?
Even if it was just a little…
Was there no time when he was tempted?
“Little girl, do you want to go in and wait? Will you get sick standing here like this?”The cleaning staff couldn’t help but say,”Look at how thin you are. This is the coldest place. How did you stand here for several hours in such a cold wind? If you really want to continue waiting, you can go in and wait…”
Zuo Yue shook her head gently.” I’m fine. Thank you.””
“Sigh, you’ll get sick like this…”
“I’m fine.” Zuo Yue still shook her head.
She felt that she was almost terminally ill. Perhaps it would be better if she woke up from the cold.
The cleaning staff saw that she was so persistent and didn’t listen to his advice. He could only shake his head and turn around to clean with a sigh.
Zuo Yue slowly raised her head to look at the night sky. The stars were flickering non-stop. She stiffly moved her feet and when she turned around, she realized that the people who rushed to the last round before midnight had already entered.
In the past few hours, there were not many people in front of the cinema. Occasionally, there were two or three people passing by, but they were just passing by in a hurry or running into the cinema.
She turned around and walked back to the place where the tickets were sold. She wanted to buy the tickets after midnight.
The ticket seller looked at her with pity in his eyes, but he still gave her the ticket.
He had seen too many young people’s separation and reunion in front of the cinema. It was not that he had never seen such a scene of waiting for the other half to appear.
However, in such cold weather, he really doubted if this little girl could hold on.
“It’s already winter, little girl.”the ticket seller said softly after giving her the ticket.
“I know.” Zuo Yue smiled.”
“I heard it’s going to snow tonight.”
“Yes, I know.”
Zuo Yue took the tickets, turned around, and walked back to the most obvious spot in front of the theater. She held the stack of tickets tightly in her hand.
It was only when a few snowflakes suddenly fell in front of her eyes that she was startled. She looked up at the night sky again and saw that it was indeed snowing.
The snowflakes fell one by one, falling on her already cold face and the tip of her nose. It was as if she could not feel the coolness of the snow.
It was until the scattered snowflakes became more and more, until it was almost blurred by the falling snow.
Zuo Yue suddenly wondered if she should really give up.
If his uncle was just an ordinary man, it would be fine.
However, he was her uncle. They were separated by blood and moral ethics.
Even if she waited here for seven days and seven nights, he probably wouldn’t come.
Because he was too rational, he kept reminding her rationally.
Zuo Yue slowly lowered her head, her eyes gradually turning red.
Although the movie was still playing in the cinema, there were not many people coming and going. The lights in front of the door flickered a few times at midnight and dimmed a few degrees. There were not many people in the surrounding coffee shops, milk tea shops, and western restaurants. Although there were signs of 24-hour service, some shops were ready to close because of the snow.
The world seemed to darken. Zuo Yue shifted her feet and looked up sadly. She looked at the road ahead for the last time.
Vaguely, the dark gray Porsche that she had been waiting for hours had finally appeared, but it did not seem to have any intention of driving here. The car did not seem to be coming from the original direction, but seemed to be returning from the east and passing by.
Zuo Yue’s gloomy eyes suddenly lit up. She looked in the direction of the car. She could not see the license plate clearly. She did not know if it was the car she had been waiting for.
The dark gray Porsche suddenly braked on the side of the road. The screeching sound of the brakes rang out, and at the same time, it stirred up the snow on the ground.
The car door opened. The moment she saw Xu Chengfeng get out of the car, a smile finally appeared on Zuo Yue’s face.
No matter how hard he waited, he still came!
Even though it was already midnight, he was here!
Xu Chengfeng slammed the car door heavily with a gloomy expression. He looked at Zuo Yue, who was still standing in front of the cinema like a little fool. His expression was extremely ugly as he quickly crossed the road and walked in her direction.
Seeing him walking towards her, Zuo Yue suddenly felt a little nervous. Did he just rush back because he went to do something?
Did he really want to watch a movie with her, but he was so busy that he only found time now?
If she had left after waiting for a short while, would Uncle be disappointed to find that she was not there when he arrived?
Fortunately, she had been waiting. Fortunately, he had come!
Zuo Yue’s face was already frozen. She tried her best to pull up the corners of her mouth, wanting to give him a smile.
It was only when Xu Chengfeng walked over quickly like a gust of wind that the smile on Zuo Yue’s face finally spread. She smiled at him, her eyes filled with happiness.
When he got closer, he saw that Zuo Yue’s face had been frozen to the point where there was not a trace of blood left. Xu Chengfeng was so angry that he cursed,””Who asked you to stand here and wait? Do you know what time it is? Do you know how high the temperature is today? Can’t you see that it’s already snowing? If I don’t show up the whole night, are you going to stand here and wait the whole night?!”
The man’s voice was mixed with anger, without any warmth or emotion.
The smile on Zuo Yue’s face froze for a moment. She looked at him in a daze. She looked at the windbreaker on his body, then at the snow that had fallen on his shoulders when he walked over, and then at the suit and tie under his windbreaker.
“Uncle…” She said in a soft, stiff voice,”Did I…” What are you delaying again…”
Xu Chengfeng’s brows furrowed, but he did not answer. He only looked coldly at her persistent eyes in the snow.”How long do you want to go crazy? I’m your uncle! I’m not a man who can make you like me and make you miss me!”
