C78 (1/2)

Probably dealing with personal matters? Chu Yu secretly thought and lowered her hand that she was about to knock on the door. She knew that Xiang Qicheng really didn't like to be disturbed when dealing with things.

Taking off his shoes and holding it in his hands, with his bare feet stepping on the wooden floor, Chu Yu quietly avoided the door.

Xiang Qicheng went into the kitchen to heat up some milk and made a simple breakfast. After a while, Xiang Qicheng opened the door and walked towards the direction of the washroom.

”Did I wake you?” Chu Yu bit his bread and blinked his eyes as he looked at the man in front of him, whose clothes were all messed up.

Although he closed the kitchen door, he still tried to move slowly as quietly as possible. Logically speaking, he shouldn't have entered the room at the end of the corridor.

Xiang Qicheng shook his head, his messy hair falling in front of his forehead, he wiped the distance away from his cold facial features.

When he came out of the bathroom again, he had a completely different appearance. His hair was neatly combed, and his well-cut suit adorned his almost perfect figure. However, the faint red mark on his face had yet to fade, making him look especially out of place.

”What happened to your face?” Chu Yu asked with a frown on his face as he raised his hand to caress Xiang Qicheng's face, completely unaware of how intimate and ambiguous his actions were.

Xiang Qicheng's eyes contracted slightly, and subconsciously, he grabbed onto the hand she was stroking his cheek with.

”I'm fine.” The magnetic voice was a little hoarse, he looked deep into her eyes, sensing that something was wrong, Chu Yu's heartbeat instantly sped up, and anxiously pulled his hand away from his palm.

”Do you drink milk? I just got warm. ” Chu Yu went around to the table and placed a plate, then changed the topic. He immediately placed a cup of milk on the table, and on the white porcelain plate, he made himself a salad and toast.

Xiang Qicheng did not answer her. Instead, he took two steps forward, and raised his head to drink the hot milk in the cup. His Adam's apple rolled up and down, and he uncomfortably averted his gaze as his face slightly flushed.

It was already noon of the second day when the plane arrived at Anlan City.

The assistant drove straight towards the Xiang Family villa, the scenery flying past quickly, Chu Yu's heart was filled with mixed emotions.

”Xiang Qicheng, can you go to a place first?” She looked out the window and spoke slowly. Although it was an inquiry, her tone was firm.

”Where?” He looked up at her, his eyes soft.

Chu Yu gave him an address, and the car turned at the intersection in front and headed towards the suburbs.

After getting off the car, he found a familiar building. Even the small shop downstairs hadn't changed.

Chu Yu headed towards the direction of the building alone.

The narrow corridor had been filled with dust for a long time. She covered her nose with her hands as she walked up the stairs. The lights in the corridor seemed to be broken. The bright yellow light in broad daylight was a bit strange.

Chu Yu took a deep breath as he stopped in front of the anti-theft door he was once familiar with.

”Dad …” He raised his hand and knocked on the door. The security door was knocked on, but there was no response from inside.

”Dad, are you home? ”I'm Little Chu …” She shouted in frustration, but there was still no sound from the closed anti-theft door.

Just as he was about to knock on the door with all his strength, the door next door suddenly opened with a ”creak”.

A woman with long, thin eyebrows stuck her head out and stared at Chu Yu with an impatient look: ”Stop knocking! So noisy! The people who live here have long since moved away. ”

Just as she was about to close the door, Chu Yu stopped her: ”I'm sorry, do you know where I've moved to?”
