Chapter 645 - You All are Good, Right? (2/2)

”Ruoxin, are you not eating?” Gao Yi asked her before putting the chopsticks in her hands. ”The food will get cold if you don't eat soon.”

”Eat, why not?” Xia Ruoxin picked up her chopsticks and took a piece of fish. It was better that someone was not eating so that they could have the fish all to themselves. If not, they still had to prepare another bowl of rice.

”Ruoxin, he's gone.” Gao Yi laughed. However, his face darkened; but his smile still remained. It's just that there seemed to be something missing from the smile.

”Huh, who left?” Xia Ruoxin's chopsticks stopped for a while, and after the question that she asked casually, she nonchalantly continued eating her fish and rice.

Gao Yi picked up his bowl and sighed before continuing to eat nonchalantly as well. Just that, no one knew how many of them started losing their appetite during the meal.

After eating, Wei Lan brought Rainy out to play while Gao Yi helped Xia Ruoxin with the dishes and squeezed some detergent. Xia Ruoxin looked down and started washing the dishes until she felt a man's body coming close, and she squirmed away subconsciously before continuing to wash the dishes.

She did not know that Gao Yi's hand was left in mid-air, and he slowly kept his hand back before walking away. When there was only Xia Ruoxin left in the kitchen, she suddenly felt that even the air was fresher.

The suppression feeling that people gave her was not only from the other man.

Outside, Gao Yi stood in front of the window with his arms crossed in front of his chest. He was smiling, but there was something intolerable behind his smile as if he had thought of something. Meanwhile, Xia Ruoxin placed the plates back one by one, and her eyelids were starting to get heavy.

At night, Xia Ruoxin got her daughter to sleep; and she felt exhausted. Her daughter wanted to listen to bedtime stories—all the bedtime stories that she owed her—so she read Snow White four times before Rainy finally slept. Then, she finally had her alone time. All these days, she was extremely busy with Gao Yi's illness and had put all her other stuff aside. As for that man's departure, all of them had an unspoken mutual understanding.

Whether he left or not, it was as if they had a tenant.

Rubbing her sore neck, she sat on the couch and took her canvas over. She had not forgotten the work she owed other people; she had to pay them back.

She turned on the computer that she had not touched for the recent few months.

Almost at the same time—once she came online, that person's penguin lit up, too.

She hurriedly typed some words and sent it.

Summer's Not Over, ”Sorry, I had some stuff going on at home that ended just recently. I will make up for the paintings I owe you very soon.”

A Sunny Day will Come, ”No rush at all. Also, has your business finally finished?”

Summer's Not Over, ”Yeah, finally. Everything is over. The sun finally came out after the rain.”

On the other side of the computer, Chu Lui brought a cup of tea over to his table that was filled with all sorts of doc.u.ments. At that moment, he smiled; but the smile was fleeting.

Really? The sun is out?

You mean the sun is out for you, right?

Xia Ruoxin turned off her computer. Even though the other side did not rush her for her work, it was better if she finished her tasks at hand as soon as possible. She would not take others' generosity for granted.

To her, what she owed was a debt; and debts must be repaid.

She drew stroke by stroke and was so focused until she did not even notice that Gao Yi was sitting beside her for a long time. It was only until she felt that her shoulder was aching and she wanted to stop painting that she felt a hand replacing her movement and started massaging her shoulders skillfully.

She was stunned and wanted to hide away, but once she saw it was Gao Yi, she started to relax her body.
