"The weather is cold. When you and Auntie Li go out, put on your scarf. Don't catch a cold." After breakfast, Han Rui sent her home, and told her not to worry.
Xu Muyun ignored him as she chased after the episode she didn't finish last night. Han Rui rubbed her face and told his auntie about what happened helplessly, asking her to take care of this idiot at home.
In order to prevent her from watching TV for too long, Han Rui switched on the remote control at home. When the time came, he would turn off the television, so that she wouldn't have to watch it all day. This was definitely not a good thing for a pregnant woman.
Han Rui was like a butler, he went to the company after arranging all the big and small things in the house. The time for the morning meeting was 10 o'clock, and he estimated that she was sitting in front of the TV to watch the show. He didn't inform her, but Han Rui directly locked up the TV in the house from a distance so she could go rest.
"Yi, what's going on? I've watched for too long, did it burn?" Xu Muyun saw the TV at home go off, and thought something was wrong with the TV. She quickly got out of bed, grabbed a pair of bamboo chopsticks from the kitchen, and switched off the power.
"Eh, that's fine too. It's not that hot!"
He leaned close to the television and took a sniff. There was no smell of burning plastic. What was that? Was there a blackout? He pressed the button on the bedroom wall. The light was on, why did the TV go black!
"Auntie, Auntie?" When Xu Muyun walked out of her bedroom, she wanted to ask Auntie Li if she knew what had happened.
"What's the matter, ma'am?" Auntie Li, who was busy cleaning the room, answered without looking back.
Xu Muyun heard the sound and came to find her. She laid by the door and said, "Auntie Li, help me see why that TV can't be switched on."
Auntie Li looked back at her pitiful little expression and couldn't bear to tell her that her husband had turned off the TV, but was afraid that she was going to get to the bottom of it, so she told him the truth. "My wife, I won't let you watch for too long, so I told you the truth.
"Ah?" When did he return? Why didn't I know? " I haven't even seen him come back, how did he close the door?
Auntie Li also didn't understand what was going on, so Mr. Li told her that if there was a TV at home and the computer suddenly turned off, he was the one who did it, so she didn't have to worry. She stammered for a long time, but still didn't make it clear. Thus, Xu Muyun didn't ask and went to the balcony to play with the dogs.
But the balcony was also locked by that person, and there was a note on it saying 'I'll open the door for you tonight'. Whoa, this was for her, or for Lucy, he was restricting her personal freedom! If she wasn't allowed to do it, then how was she supposed to live?
She stood in the bedroom holding a pillow to vent her anger for a long time. The paper he put on the table was thrown all over the place by her. She was so bored! Auntie Li looked at the mess in the room and was forced to give Han Rui a call. She asked her wife what she was going to do if she kept doing this.
Han Rui told her that if she was going to buy vegetables in the afternoon, she would take her out for a stroll, get some fresh air, and walk around nearby. Auntie Li had to give the order. When she went out to buy vegetables in the afternoon, she asked Auntie Li if she wanted to go to the supermarket. Xu Muyun naturally raised her hands and feet in approval.
The husband said that the wife's body was weak. Auntie Li protected Xu Muyun as if she were a national animal, afraid that something would happen to her. Xu Muyun was also very careful. She knew how much meat she had and wasn't in a hurry to buy anything. The two were just strolling in the supermarket and would buy whatever was suitable.
Xu Muyun and Auntie Li held each other's hand like a mother and daughter, without any sense of restraint between an employer and a servant. This was also Auntie Li's happiest place in the Han family, the male owner was handsome and refined, never spoke loudly, and compared to those stern big bosses, he was as gentle as an ordinary office worker.
There was no need to mention his wife. She was as meek as a kitten. Aside from the occasional tantrum between him and her husband, it was rare to hear her voice. Auntie Li's husband had been working in the city when he fell from a high place to his death, so he had been working as a babysitter in the city to maintain his family's life for the children to go to school. Now that the children were old and had a stable job, he wanted to take her to his home to live, but Auntie Li wasn't able to get along with her daughter-in-law in the city.
She didn't expect that the employers she met were even more intimate than her daughter-in-law. On the way home, Auntie Li's face bloomed with a smile as she thought of something. Xu Muyun whispered into her ear, "Auntie, what are you thinking about? Why are you so happy!"
Auntie Li patted her hands, "Just now at the supermarket, I seemed to see a shop selling embroidery. Madam, I'm from Yi, and my embroidery is very good. I was thinking that when I have time, I can embroider some small clothes for my baby."
"Really, thank you Auntie, you are so good! "I'll tell Han Rui that he has to give you a raise later." Xu Muyun, who had never enjoyed motherly love since childhood, was very touched by Auntie Li's heartfelt care.
"Madam, why do you keep calling him by his full name? This is too unorthodox." Auntie Li kindly reminded her that it was always a bad habit to be neither cold nor hot.
"Then what should I call him? Is that his name?"
"Call him husband? Even we rural people call him husband and wife. Sir, I'm fine with calling you by your nickname, but you keep calling him by his name. I can't stand it any longer."
Xu Muyun's excited face calmed down a lot and sighed: "Auntie, my situation is different from his, we don't have any feelings, I can't call him."
"What do you mean you can't say it? Didn't you see how much Teacher dotes on you? I'm even afraid that you'll be tired from drinking water, what feelings do you want? Silly child, it's not easy to meet such a teacher in your entire life. You have to cherish him!" Auntie Li advised her earnestly.
Xu Muyun smiled awkwardly. He was good to her, but it was because of the child in her stomach or the guilt he felt for her. In short, it wasn't love.
As the two of them walked home leisurely, Xu Muyun's heart was covered by a layer of mist. She didn't want to admit that Han Rui was becoming more and more important to her, and it seemed like he hadn't appeared in her dreams for a long time.
Sometimes, when she saw his face, her heart would throb, just like when she saw Yang Ziye. His gentleness was slowly devouring her, and his kindness towards her was like a vast ocean soaking her in a boundless sea.
