Chapter 27.21: A quiet life
Taoyuan is surprisingly a quiet city. The past week, apart from the doctors, nurses and part timers, there are no one else who actually visits. Under this situation, his confidential work is also completed.
So when there are guests whom arrives, He He was very surprised.
That day Zheng Xie color looks good. She continued to be treated as transparent, so she felt very bored. And when the part-timer is going out to buy food, she volunteered to go together.
Arriving home, she saw unfamiliar vehicles park in front of the house. When she enter the house, Aunty w.a.n.g pointed upstairs and said: “Little Master Xie have guests. Secretary Wei brought them.” She looked very happy. “He is willing to meet people. It shows that he is feeling much better.”
“Who?” He He had intuition that she know the guest.
“Miss Yang.”
“Which Yang….” He He said the words in half when Zheng Xie’s door suddenly open.
“That the Little Master Xie before….. Huh?” Aunty w.a.n.g found He He gone.
Zheng Xie was dress in his pajamas plus a thick coat. He personally sent Yang Wei Qi to the door.
Yang Wei Qi said: “Go back. Be careful. It’s cold.”
“It’s okay. Long time I did not breathe the open air.” Zheng Xie voice was low and rough, quite unlike him.
“Recuperate well. Although it is only a minor operation, it is debilitating. Take care of yourself.”
“You take care too.”
When He He guess it was Yang Wei Qi, she immediately escaped. But she choose the wrong direction to escape. She ran into the yard. And they also went into the yard. She dodge behind a low shrub, just enough to hid her.
She just did not want to face Yang Wei Qi, to avoid any embarra.s.sment. “Well, why should I feel so guilty?” She pitifully think again. And then she heard Zheng Xie could finally speak but in front of her all day, refuse to say a word, she suddenly became angry.
Zheng Xie turned to go back into the house. He looked towards the direction of the bushes. He He shrink and shrink. She is angry about what she overheard. She crouched there motionless, hoping that Zheng Xie will continue to ignore her and hurry into the house.
But Zheng Xie seems to deliberately embarra.s.s her. He stared into the yard enjoying the cherry blossom for a few minutes. He He crouching, felt her legs are numbs. He suddenly said something softly: “Are you not afraid of snakes?” His voice is hissing, sound very strange.
He He reflex with “ah!” and bounced behind, taking the bait. Winter season, where are there snakes?
Zheng Xie immediately after saying it, just as she jumped up, had turned around and left.
He He tried to catch up angrily but Zheng Xie legs, although he had not eaten for many days, she did not managed to catch up. As she was crossing the living room, Aunty w.a.n.g stopped her: “Miss He He, where did you go? Hey, how come there are so many leaves stuck in your hair? Do not move. Do not move. I help you to remove them.”
He He asked: “What….. How serious is brother’s sickness?”
