C94 (1/2)
After reading Zhou Sichen's report, Fu Yi communicated with him on msn for a bit and completed the implementation of the project. Fu Yi asked him, ”Are you coming back for the new year?”
Zhou Sichen replied very quickly, ”No reply.”
Seeing Zhou Sichen's reply, Fu Yi was a little surprised. Didn't this fellow say that he wanted to return to his country a while ago? He joked, ”Do you need me to ask Meng Hao to send you something?”
”That's fine.” Zhou Sichen actually sent over a long list.
Fu Yi gave a simple glance and was a little surprised. ”Why is there sunscreen? Didn't I remember that someone said he wanted to suntan to the color of wheat?” If he remembered correctly, this sunscreen was a brand only for women.
”For a friend.” Zhou Sichen was unwilling to say more.
Fu Yi was just about to reply when he heard Chu Mengyao's voice, ”I didn't, I really didn't …” The voice was frantic.
Fu Yi turned his head to look. Chu Mengyao was actually sleep talking, and her expression was one of panic, and his face was extremely pale. He immediately placed the notebook on the cabinet beside him, and patted Chu Mengyao's face.
”I really don't have any!” Chu Mengyao exclaimed as she woke up with sweat on her forehead.
Fu Yi gently wiped Chu Mengyao's forehead, ”Have you had a nightmare?”
Chu Mengyao felt as if all the energy in her body had been sucked out.
Fu Yi passed a cup of water over.
She drank half of the cup in one breath, but her face was still very pale, as if she had not yet withdrawn from her nightmare.
Fu Yi was a little worried when he saw her current state. It was not the first time she had slept with him. When she was exhausted, she would quickly fall asleep, but he would always be able to sleep soundly. This was the first time that a nightmare had occurred.
”Why are you acting like a child, scaring you like this with just a dream?” Fu Yi caressed her hair and comforted his in a very gentle tone, ”Even dreams are fake, the reverse is true.
A lot of emotions flashed past Chu Mengyao's eyes. Even though she was by Fu Yi's side, her heart was still a little hesitant, and there were a lot of uncertainty in her heart. ”Will you break up with me?”
”Why do you ask?” Fu Yi looked at Chu Mengyao with a puzzled expression.
Chu Mengyao did not look at Fu Yi. Instead, she lowered her head and said with a slightly trembling voice, ”There are a lot of things related to me on the web. She was so upset, so worried and sad, that she was afraid he would break up with her. She had wanted to have an intimate relationship with him from the moment she saw him. It was also because the uncertainty in her heart had caused her to be too confused.
Only for a moment could she feel that he belonged to her.
”I saw it.” Fu Yi did not speak the truth. In fact, he had only seen a very small portion of it, because if he were to finish reading it all, he was afraid that he would not be able to control his emotions and would attack without caring.
”Have you all seen it?” Chu Mengyao's eyes were a little red.
”Just our pictures.” Fu Yi's voice was very gentle. Seeing that she was not in a good mood, he intentionally started a joke, ”The person who secretly took the photos must have a crush on you. Otherwise, why did he take you so beautifully, and make me look so ugly, like a wretched uncle!”
When Chu Mengyao heard him, she was originally very depressed. However, she could not help but chuckle, ”I'm really sorry to have pulled you in as well.”
”Little fool!” Fu Yi frowned, looking at her.
Chu Mengyao lowered her head and clenched her fists tightly. She was very nervous, ”The netizens don't understand the situation and the words they say are not nice either. Will it affect you?”
”Influence me?” Fu Yi asked.
”I was afraid someone would take another picture of us and post it online...” They didn't have anything to hide from the public during their days in the capital. They were always very intimate. It was inevitable that there would be surveillance in these places. If someone intentionally made a fuss about Fu Yi on the internet, he would be like her right now.
”It's fine even if we get shot. We're not married, what's there to worry about?” Fu Yi said very calmly.
”But other people thought that Wu Haoran and I were engaged, and that you would be misunderstood.” Wasn't Xie Nana a very obvious example. She didn't want Fu Yi to be criticized for no reason because of her.
”A marriage contract is only a kind of agreement, and is not protected by the law.” Fu Yi comforted her, ”Furthermore, marriage can also mean divorce, isn't it normal to cancel the engagement after?”
His words eased the unease in Chu Mengyao's heart.
”Have you not been sleeping well recently? Why do you have dark circles under your eyes?” Fu Yi asked.
”Do you believe it when they say online that my private life is a mess?” Chu Mengyao hesitated for a long time, but still asked.
”What do you think?” Fu Yi did not answer directly.
