Chapter 16.7 (1/2)

Understanding that is too deep

Zheng Xie stood up and found himself numb from sitting from one position for too long. He saw He He’s clear and articulate eyes. Totally sobered up. Truly magical. He couldn’t help but go and put her hair back to the back of her head. He cannot tolerate to see such stuffy hairstyle.

He He suddenly took a big step backwards and she step up against the wall.

Zheng Xie did not mind and smiled at her: “You sober up very quickly.”

“I am not drunk.”

“I know. You’re just drank too much.” Zheng Xie said in a soft tone, “Next time don’t drink so much. Girls are likely to suffer more.”

“I didn’t drink too much. I was just sleepy.” Xiao He He insisted on her innocence.

“Ok. Next time if you are sleepy, do not drink. Or else you would easily fall asleep outside.” Zheng Xie also start feeling a little sleepy. He did not want to talk too much. “Would you like something to drink? Milk? Honey?”

“I will get it.” He He still holding on the quilt that she intended to cover him with while standing stiffly against the wall.

“Then I will go back. I would be staying opposite tonight. Call me on the phone if there is anything.” He He did not like the dark night. She is afraid to look at the starts and moon in the sky and always not willing to partic.i.p.ate in any night outdoors activities. When she is outside at night, she often show abnormalities, such as two or three hours ago, she was acting childish with him but now treating him like a stranger.

Zheng Xie tugged his crumpled clothes. He greeted He He and turned away. He He holding and dragging the quilt walked behind him, sending him to the door.

Zheng Xie opened the door. He heard He He calling him softly behind him: “Brother.”

He paused for a while and turned his head.

“When you were sending me back, I did not create any trouble. I did not say any strange thing?” Her eyes showing her uncertainty.

“No, you have been behaved well. Once you got into the car, you fell asleep.”

“Oh!” she lowered her eyes. When Zheng Xie was going to shut the door, he heard her gently said: “Thank you for sending me back.”

Zheng Xie paused his action of wanting to close the door, and finally reminded her: “Remember to lock the door.”

After Zheng Xie left, He He put the quilt on the sofa and went to the refrigerator to take out the cat food. Walking to Xiao Bao’s plate, she found Xiao Bao fast asleep after being fed. She carefully picked Xiao Bao up, wrapped it in a towel. She hold Xiao Bao and walked to the balcony. She sat on the rattan rocking chair that Zheng Xie sat earlier while starring in a daze into s.p.a.ce.
