Ye Zi Xuan saw that Huo Jing Yan seemed to be indifferent to what he had done today, so he shut his mouth and packed his things quietly.
Both parties did not say a word, and Huo Jing Yan's depressed mood had eased in the midst of this silence, as he tried to find a topic to talk about. Seeing the large and small bags that Ye Zi Xuan had thrown on the sofa when he returned, he frowned and asked: "Why are you buying so many things?"
Ye Zi Xuan saw that Huo Jing Yan's mood seemed to be a little unhappy, and carefully replied: "En, I went shopping with mom in the afternoon, and bought a lot of things, but it's not a rare opportunity … …"
As she spoke, her hands did not stop moving.
Huo Jing Yan acknowledged and did not continue the conversation. Both sides fell into silence once more.
After knowing that Ye Zi Xuan had finished packing her things and had thrown all the lunchboxes on the table back to him, she looked at Huo Jing Yan who was still lying listlessly on the sofa, sat beside him and said: "Jing Yan, why do you look so dispirited today, is it uncomfortable? "Don't always order take-out food in the future, it's just something with no nutrition."
Huo Jing Yan replied with his eyes closed: "It's boring to eat alone, eat anything you want. It's good as long as you don't die from hunger."
In Ye Zi Xuan's opinion, Huo Jing Yan's words were aimed at him.
"Um, Jing Yan, I'm really sorry I didn't accompany you to dinner today." I really made an appointment with my mother yesterday. Don't be angry. " Ye Zi Xuan hurriedly tried to curry favor with Huo Jing Yan. It turned out that Huo Jing Yan was sulking because of this.
Huo Jing Yan opened his eyes and looked at Ye Zi Xuan: "Then why didn't you tell me last night when we were on the phone? I took care of the company early today, and then... I've been lying alone since noon. " Huo Jing Yan's tone was a little dissatisfied. In the past, it was only because other people saw his expression and acted accordingly, but now, he still had to wait for other people's time to make an appointment.
Ye Zi Xuan felt like laughing when she saw Huo Jing Yan's angry look, but she still said it seriously: "Last night, when I heard you talking on the phone, I didn't seem to be too happy. I thought you weren't feeling well, so I didn't chat much with you. After saying that, Ye Zi Xuan acted as if she was wronged that she did not understand.
Huo Jing Yan listened to Ye Zi Xuan's story and sure enough, he did not bother with her any further. Ye Zi Xuan was a little pleased with herself, as she herself had slowly become better at handling Huo Jing Yan now.
However, Huo Jing Yan's next sentence still caught her off guard.
"Let's go and help me bathe."
With that, Huo Jing Yan got up and went to his room to change. He did not forget to tell Ye Zi Xuan: "Hurry up and put in the bath water, pay attention to the water's temperature."
Huo Jing Yan's move had really made Ye Zi Xuan, who was a little proud a moment ago, unable to defend against it. However, there was nothing he could do, all he could do was go to the bathroom and prepare to take a bath.
"Why did it take so long? Have you finished putting it away?"
Just as Ye Zi Xuan was concentrating on taking a bath, she suddenly heard a voice from behind him. She was slightly angry and said, "Can you not appear behind me so soundlessly, it's very scary …" When Ye Zi Xuan turned around and saw Huo Jing Yan standing at the bathroom's door with no clothes on, she suddenly choked.
Although he had seen Huo Jing Yan's naked body before, facing such a sudden scene, Ye Zi Xuan was still a little flustered. With a slightly red face, she immediately lowered her head and said shyly: "Alright, come in. Can you not be so shameless? "
Huo Jing Yan ignored Ye Zi Xuan and went straight into the bathtub. Then he lightly said: "Yeah, a bit hot."
Ye Zi Xuan knew that she would definitely be troubled by Huo Jing Yan tonight, but why was this man so petty. Didn't she just not eat a meal with him before? Did she really have to keep a dark face all the way until now?
Although he was unresigned, Ye Zi Xuan still obediently helped Huo Jing Yan to replenish the cold water.
"It's too cold." Huo Jing Yan's cold voice sounded again.
"Enough!" If you want to heat it up, you have to cool it down! " With that, Ye Zi Xuan stood up and no longer looked at him. There was no need to settle her own grievances, right? Ye Zi Xuan was a little angry.
But when she saw that Huo Jing Yan was really adjusting the temperature of the water, could it be that she really did not put away the bath water properly? Wasn't he purposely making things difficult for him?
Ye Zi Xuan turned around and brought over a towel and a small stool, preparing to sit down and help Huo Jing Yan bathe.
Seeing that Ye Zi Xuan wanted to help him bathe, Huo Jing Yan did not reject her. She put down the towel in her hand and let her do it.
The two of them did not argue with each other for the rest of the day. The process of bathing was unusually smooth, and there were no problems that had occurred two days ago when they helped him bathe.
For some reason, Ye Zi Xuan felt very fortunate, but she also felt a little disappointed.
After Ye Zi Xuan finished helping Huo Jing Yan with the bath, Huo Jing Yan went to his own room to rest.
Ye Zi Xuan took a comfortable shower before going to her bedroom.
When he walked into the bedroom, he found that Huo Jing Yan was already lying on the bed. He did not know if he was asleep, but Ye Zi Xuan was afraid that he might be so noisy that Huo Jing Yan had not turned on the lights.
Ye Zi Xuan walked to the door of the bedroom, gently closed it, and called Jiang Wan Lan.
"Hey, Mom, are you asleep? I've bought some clothes today, but they look really nice. I'll show them to you when I have time. "Also, the restaurant we went to today, I still have to go next time. I heard his XXX is so delicious that we didn't even get to eat it today …" Ye Zi Xuan chattered on like a child.
On the other side of the phone, Jiang Wan Lan was lying on her bed preparing to sleep.
Ye Zi Xuan kept on talking to Jiang Wan Lan. It had been a long time since she had experienced her mother's love, and now that she was talking to Jiang Wan Lan, she was acting like a child.
Huo Jing Yan was actually not asleep at all. He was just resting while lying on the bed with his eyes closed.
Hearing Ye Zi Xuan and Jiang Wan Lan talking on the phone outside the door, Ye Zi Xuan was like a child, constantly chatting with each other. Hearing Ye Zi Xuan's happy laughter, Huo Jing Yan's mood became very strange.
He clearly wanted her to be happy, but he didn't want her to be so happy because of Jiang Wan Lan. He didn't even understand whether it was because he was the one who made Ye Zi Xuan happy, or the person who made Ye Zi Xuan happy, that made him feel so uncomfortable.
Outside, Ye Zi Xuan had already hung up, but she did not go in. She also felt that something wasn't quite right with Huo Jing Yan today, but she didn't know the specific reason either.
The two of them, separated by a door, were speculating on each other's thoughts.
On the morning of the second day, Huo Jing Yan opened his eyes and discovered that his bedside was completely empty. Even he was confused when Ye Zi Xuan came in to sleep last night.
