    Chapter 12. A Sour Swelling…

    He Shuyu left. Just as suddenly as she had come, there was no sign of leaving.

    At a certain point, when his thoughts were out of control, Chi Xiuyuan had even thought that she would stay for New Year’s Eve, but in retrospect, it was funny.

    It was New Year’s Eve when it was time to reunite with the family. What would be the point of staying with him?

    He Shuyu had only said a few words in front of him about when her grandfather died and her parents were not in harmony. Was he really foolish enough to believe that she was a homeless stray cat?

    She not only had countless followers but also friends in the same circle. There were even countless people like him waiting for her to pity them.

    As long as she wanted, she could find anyone to spend the New Year with her.

    Chi Xiuyuan’s heart became sour and swollen.

    Thinking that He Shuyu had once helped other men as she helped him today. That she told other men that she wanted to sleep with them and wanted to touch their abdominal muscles…

    He took out his mobile phone to send a message to He Shuyu, and he inevitably thought of the WeChat message she had received before she left.

    With his fingertips already on the keyboard, he quickly turned off the phone and stuffed it back into his pocket.

    This woman was an untouchable poppy.

    Addictive.

    On the second day of the new year, Chi Xiuyuan went to the city hospital to visit his mother. He was about to pay off the medical expenses for the next period of time, but was told that the He Group’s foundation had assisted him and covered all the medical expenses.

    It was self-evident which foundation would still be running on the second day of the new year, and whose handwriting this was.

    Not only that, but when he had been about to pay back some money to the relatives who had lent him money, he was told that a strange man had come to the door on New Year’s Eve and paid off all the debts he owed.

    He Shuyu was not there, but Chi Xiuyuan’s life was full of traces of her.

    When Chi Xiuyuan returned home, he felt a little lost.

    A woman couldn’t resist a man’s fierce offensive, so how could a man resist a woman’s unrelenting provocation?

    He couldn’t help but think of He Shuyu’s joking words. “What you owe others, it is better to owe me”.

    He really owed her more and more, just as she said.

    Chi Xiuyuan took out his mobile phone and wanted to send her a message again.

    Advertisements

    He wrote, deleted, and wrote again. It took half an hour, but not a single word was sent.

    Chi Xiuyuan closed his eyes and was about to break down and ask her for a bank card account number, but the upper left corner of the dialogue box suddenly showed that she was typing.

    He was taken aback and felt guilty. The message from He Shuyu made him feel so ashamed that he buried his head in the quilt.

    [President He: It’s been half an hour. What do you want to say? Can you be direct? You are not tired of dawdling, but I am tired of waiting!]

    Half an hour!

    He Shuyu had been staring at his message box for half an hour?

    Realizing this, Chi Xiuyuan blushed.

    He felt that he was out of sorts, so he put his phone on the bed and washed his face.

    Chi Xiuyuan looked at himself in the mirror as the cold water vapour penetrated into his skin.

    He was not a shy person. Before meeting He Shuyu, he never knew that his ears could be so hot.

    He thought to himself, “Ms. He is really amazing.”

    At least it was impossible to have no emotional experience.

    Advertisements

    Otherwise, how could he have stepped into her trap step by step, despite knowing from the beginning that there was no possibility for them to be together? His heart ebbed and flowed because of her words and mannerisms.

    Chi Xiuyuan forced himself to calm down. He sat down beside the bed, and retrieved his phone.

    In the message box, He Shuyu had sent several question marks in succession, as if she wanted to know why he took the initiative to message but disappeared without a trace after getting a response.

    Chi Xiuyuan stared at the question marks in the message box and thought for a long time before finally returning with a Happy New Year.

    It was a little late to send a Happy New Year since it was already the second day of the Chinese New Year.

    He Shuyu had waited for such a long time just to receive four bare words. She sent an “angry cat expression bag.”

    [President He: I thought you were thinking about me and you were shy, so you didn’t know what to post for a long time. However, it turned out to be simply “Happy New Year”.]

    It was just a few words, but anyone could see her disappointment.

    Chi Xiuyuan’s ears had cooled slightly, and the temperature started to burn again. He replied dryly.

    [I wanted to bring up the debt, but it didn’t seem like the right time.]

    He Shuyu sent another emoji of a cat throwing a phone.

    Chi Xiuyuan stared at the emoji for a long time, not knowing what to reply.

    After a while, she sent another picture. It was a snowman. At her front door, the snow was piled high.

    There was also a hand in the picture.

    The hand was very beautiful, with slender fingers and a silver ring on the little finger. It could be seen that it was a man’s hand.

    He was holding a carrot, and the cool white skin contrasted sharply with the colour of the carrot. There was no one who wouldn’t want to know what the owner of the hand looked like.

    Chi Xiuyuan’s eyes stayed on the silver ring. He watched for a while, and then he exited the dialogue box unexpectedly. He opened the circle of friends, scrolled down a long list, and stayed on one of the photos.

    The young man in the photo was holding a paintbrush, and the camera was shot from the side. It was just in time to capture the silver ring on his little finger.

    Shen Yuen…

    It was really him.

    He Shuyu sent another message.

    [President He: I want to build a snowman with you]

    Chi Xiuyuan’s ears were no longer hot and his cheeks were no longer red when he heard these words, the way they usually were in line with her usual provocative tone. Instead, he felt an indescribable feeling of aggrievement in his heart.

    A few minutes later, he transferred his account, a full 50,000 yuan.

    It was the money He Shuyu gave him at the train station.

    He pursed his lips and avoided looking at the photo of the snowman and the hand in the photo that was only slightly in the mirror, but was not obvious at all.

    He held his breath and started editing the information.

    [C: Ms. He, thank you for your help before. I will pay you back this money first, and I will pay back the remaining money slowly.]

    After sending the message, he exited WeChat as if running away. He put his phone under the pillow, took his pajamas, and went into the bathroom.

    He Shuyu stared at the message in the dialogue box, her brows furrowed, and her sharp eyes instantly pierced at Luo Zhiyao, who had given her the bad idea.

    “Luo Zhiyao! Can you be more reliable? I managed to coax him to be a bit softer, and didn’t I place the hand in the photo as you said? Instead, he drew a clear line with me!”

    Her emotional consultant had patted her chest and assured her that she would inadvertently make the child jealous. She said that it would be best to reveal some suggestive details when taking pictures.

    He Shuyu had been hesitant at first and hadn’t quite believed it, but she had still taken the photo with the former’s advice.

    Half an hour ago, she had turned on her phone and hesitated to send a photo to Chi Xiuyuan, but found that the upper left corner of the dialogue box showed that he was typing.

    She felt happy at the time.

    But after waiting patiently for ten minutes, he was still typing. There was still no response after waiting twenty minutes. After waiting for half an hour, he finally stopped typing, but still, no message came.

    The child was a little tortoise, just sticking its head out of its shell. It would shrink back when there was the slightest little nuisance.

    It was rare for He Shuyu to be so impatient. She had taken the lead in sending a message, but the child ignored her.

    The man’s heart was a needle at the bottom of the sea. She couldn’t judge what he was thinking at the moment by observing his expressions as they were across the screen of the mobile phone, so she simply sent a few question marks as a test.

    After waiting for a long time, when he said “Happy New Year”, He Shuyu almost laughed angrily.

    President He, who was a leader in the business world, had suffered several losses in the matter of flirting with her little boyfriend.

    She simply sent the photo, as Luo Zhiyao said, trying to test the child’s reaction.

    She didn’t know if the test was too much. The dry child started to repay the debt as soon as he disagreed.

    Luo Zhiyao blinked blankly. She put one hand on Shen Yuen’s shoulder and stretched out the other hand to hook, “Show me the message?”

    He Shuyu wouldn’t give her the phone. She patted her hand off, and said with a sneer, “You are not very good at walking through the grass without getting wet.”

    Shen Yuen was He Shuyu’s cousin. The two had basically the same growth trajectory. Their parents were not in harmony, and they were from the same generation. Mr. Shen and Mr. He had been friends and neighbours for many years.

    The relationship between cousins—older sister and younger brother—had always been very good. In the past few years since Grandpa He passed away, the two had basically made do with celebrating the New Year together.

    After listening to He Shuyu’s words, Shen Yuen, who stood beside her, glanced at Luo Zhiyao. Luo Zhiyao smiled at the latter, and immediately looked up and kissed him on his cheek.

    Turning her head to face He Shuyu, she said fiercely, “You can shut up. When did I pass through the thickets of grass? Sister, I have only hung myself on the beautiful little tree in my house, Enen.”

    The stench of being in love made He Shuyu feel dizzy.

    She looked away in disgust and stared at the dialogue box for a while. The little friend didn’t seem to plan to send her any more messages. After thinking about it for a while, she also replied dryly.

    At this time, Wen Shu, who was wearing an apron, patted the door, “Your Majesty, the two queens, the little ones are ready for the hot pot. Don’t blow the cold wind outside. “

    Luo Zhiyao let out a soft tsk, hugged her cold and handsome boyfriend, and started to poke her sister’s heart, “The old aunt who has been solo for 25 years has a spring heart [1]. Her sister gave her some advice, and she also blamed her sister for having a bad idea. Let’s go. Let’s ignore her and eat hot pot.”

    Shen Yuen shyly replied, “um”, and tilted her head to peck her on the side of the face.

    Luo Zhiyao immediately poked his waist with his elbow and said, hypocritically, “Don’t make trouble.”

    He Shuyu: “…”

    It was so sour. Someone, please come and drag the dog man and woman.

    She lowered her head and glanced at the dialogue again, but still, nothing happened. She could only sigh, turn off the phone, and put it in her pocket.

    There was a long way to go when it came to chasing the child.

    Chi Xiuyuan came out of the bathroom, covered in water and wet hair.

    Taking a shower had not washed away the restlessness in his heart. Even more uncontrollably, he remembered the message he accidentally caught a glimpse of when He Shuyu left.

    He wiped his wet hair and saw the emotionless words on the screen of his mobile phone. The chaotic emotions were instantly twisted together by an invisible hand, and his heavy heart felt suffocated by the tide.

    He silently twitched the corners of his mouth and exited WeChat.

    [1] Reference to first love being compared to the first bud of spring.
