Chapter 29.8: Climbing up Half A Moon
“What is the bet this time?”
“When the result is out, then we discuss the bet.” He He said looking back with an unsteady breath.
For Zheng Xie to catch up with her is really effortless. But he deliberately tease her, and leisurely kept behind her by one meter. When she was quick and fast, he also followed slowly. She turned around and saw that the man is left with a small black spot and stopped on the beach. She was caught by Zheng Xie. She hang onto his arm and lie on Zheng Xie’s back with her arms around his neck while getting him to finish the rest of the journey by carrying her.
When they got back, Zheng Xie became really busy and often worked late into the night. He He said: “There is no need to rush. We can go in a few days.”
“When all things are done, I want to take a long break.”
He He is actually very free. Since she bid farewell to her nine to five life, she had become very lazy. And slowly getting accustomed to the lazy life. She would read manga daily, draw for a few hours and when the weather is good, head out to see exhibition. She would spend half a day in the exhibition hall.
Her mother towards her choice in life have no objections. When she wants to continue her studies, she said okay. When she changed her mind, her mother also said nothing. And now she wants to study again, she did not extend any advice. She just asked how much money she is short of and if she needed any help. Zheng Xie seems more like her parent in comparison.
The Zheng old house is very quiet. Basically hardly anyone come. So not many people knows that she is staying there. The neighbors knew her since childhood so considered her as his younger sister.
That day, when He He returned from her day out, she saw a black car parked outside. The car license plate carries the three provincial capital code. When she saw the car license place, her heart went into a chaos.
She wandered outside but the door had been opened. She saw a familiar face in front of her. He kindly said to her: “Miss He He, come inside. It is cold outside.”
She hesitantly step into the house. Standing in the living room with her head down, she greeted: “Uncle Zheng”. Then she only dared to look at his fingers.
“Sit down. Thank you for taking care of Zheng Xie recently.” Zheng Xie’s father tone is still as cheerful as ever.
He He stood still. The secretary that asked her to come in, took her shoulder and gently get her to sit down while patiently explained: “Secretary Zheng is here to just check out how is Zheng Xie.”
“I am bringing you to see my old house. Who say I am here to see him?”
The secretary carefully smiled.
“Since the last I saw you during the Spring Festival, you have gain some weight. A girl with some weight looks better. Don’t go and lose too much weight.”
“Ah.” He He obediently answered. She had always been respectful to the elders. At the moment, because of the guilty conscience, she is more worried.
