Chapter 1028: Spreading a Sky Net for Her (8)
Su Weiyi carried the thermos upstairs, went into the apartment, and stood in front of the dining table. Since she had previously eaten Japanese food, which is mostly raw and cold, and considering it was sent by Sheng Yanxiao.
Su Weiyi poured out a small bowl of fragrant soup and tested the temperature; it was no longer hot, which suggested that it had been awhile.
She took a sip and slightly furrowed her brows; the taste was off. However, thinking it might be due to the long duration inside the thermos, or maybe Mrs. Zhang’s culinary skills have declined since she’s quite advanced in years and rarely cooks for the Sheng Family now.
Su Weiyi finished the small bowl, put it down, and turned around to go back to the bathroom to take a shower.
Today, she felt inexplicably exhausted. Su Weiyi filled the tub full of water and submerged herself completely, staring at the glaring light above, and her heart slowly calmed down.
Reflecting on her return, everything was far from what she imagined; she thought she could be very calm, she thought Sheng Yanxiao could be very calm. Although there would be awkwardness, they’d surely handle it well.
That relationship had ended three years ago. Although time wasn’t very long, it wasn’t short either and should be handled well.
But the result?
Sheng Yanxiao was very calm, but she wasn’t calm at all.
His distant politeness made her feel a piercing pain, and his tenderness towards another person made her body ache to the point of numbness, so much so that a multitude of unpleasant emotions threatened to burst out.
She desperately wanted to grab his shirt, ask him whether he no longer liked her? Ask him whether he liked that girl named Yue Wei?
She also wanted to loudly tell him she was uncomfortable, truly very uncomfortable, more than ever before.
These strong thoughts were suppressed by the remaining trace of rationality. What right did she have? She simply had no right to ask him these things.
Unconsciously, Su Weiyi had soaked in the bathtub for more than half an hour; her mind was a bit dazed. She quickly stood up and almost fell to the ground due to dizziness, but fortunately, she reacted quickly, wrapped herself in a towel, and without caring for her still wet hair, she collapsed onto the bed.
After a spell of dizziness, she finally felt better, and Su Weiyi suddenly turned sideways, curling her whole body up, closing her eyes tightly.
The feeling of discomfort spread from her heart, extending to every limb, as if someone had dug a big hole right in the middle of her heart, with a chilling wind pouring in, cold and dark.
——
Downstairs, Sheng Yanxiao hadn’t left; he circled around to make sure Su Weiyi had gone inside, then stood by the big tree outside the door as he always did, leaning his back against the trunk, a cigarette between his fingers flickering in the night.
Sheng Yanxiao recalled when he received a call from Si Nian, right after sending Lu Yuewei into the community, and his expression sank afterward.
Lu Zhang...
This name made Sheng Yanxiao insanely jealous.
Not because he might replace me and be with Su Weiyi, such a thing he’d never allow to happen.
But because for these three years, it was him by her side.
Even if they were innocent, even if they had nothing, Sheng Yanxiao was still insanely jealous.
It took a great effort to suppress the frantic elements inside his heart, and finally, he thought of such a clumsy way—buying some soup, putting it in a thermos, and waiting downstairs for her, just like he used to.
Watching Lu Zhang send her home, already much more mature and stable than he was back then, Sheng Yanxiao’s inner impulse was exactly the same as it was years ago.
