Chapter 835
The sound of a car approaching from afar grew louder. Tang Zhou was driving back from outside. As he passed by Ye Xingguang, he hit the brakes, rolled down the window, and leaned out from inside the car, honking the horn, “Bro Ye! Bro Ye! Where have you been these days? Do you know that I’ve been waiting for you to save me every day, and in the end, it was Li Yu who came to my rescue!”
With the car window rolled down, a strong aroma wafted through the air. Ye Xingguang, standing outside the car, asked, “Is there anything to eat in the car?”
“Wow! Bro Ye, you have such a good nose! Barbecue, beer, spicy hot pot, vermicelli casserole, brown sugar rice cakes, take-out hot pot, and milk tea…”
In recent days, Tang Zhou had eaten so much seafood that he had been craving something spicy, and now that he was back on land, he couldn’t wait to buy all the foods he had been longing to eat underwater, even if it was just for a whiff, with no concern whether he’d finish it all.noveldrama
“Give it all to me.”
“Why?” Tang Zhou protested. “I drove all over town to find these, all from famous old-brand shops in the capital. If you want to eat, can’t you have someone else buy it for you? I want these for myself!”
Ye Xingguang looked at him with dangerous eyes, “Do you think you can finish it all?”
“Even if I can’t, I won’t give it to you!”
“Leave the brown sugar rice cakes, the take-out hot pot, and the milk tea. You can keep the rest for yourself.”
“Bro Ye, you’re too cunning. Why don’t you ask me to leave the spicy hot pot and vermicelli casserole for you too?”
Actually, Tang Zhou was reluctant to give away the spicy hot pot and vermicelli casserole. He would at most part with a skewer of grilled squid, and that was only because he had eaten too much of it underwater.
Ye Xingguang stood outside the car and repeated with a chilling voice, “Leave the brown sugar rice cakes, the take-out hot pot, and the milk tea. Don’t make me say it a third time!”
Tang Zhou clenched his teeth in frustration, “Bro Ye, you can’t possibly finish the take-out hot pot by yourself. Let’s eat it together, okay? We could even go to your place. I can’t compromise any further! Touch my hot pot, and I’ll cut ties with you!”
With a grim expression, Ye Xingguang didn’t speak, and both men took a step back, reaching an uncomfortable compromise.
“Bro Ye, get in the car. I’ll take you.”
“You go ahead to my place, and I’ll walk back.”
After Tang Zhou drove away, Ye Xingguang continued his search along the path. With no sight of the person he was looking for, he became increasingly distressed. Damn it, where did she run off to? When he told her to leave, she just left; when he told her to mistrust Li Yu’s act, why didn’t she believe him?
A gust of cold wind lifted the fallen leaves off the ground and brushed against his face, darkening Ye Xingguang’s already somber complexion. It was so cold—where could she be?
Tang Zhou drove into the courtyard of Ye Xingguang’s villa, turned left, and parked in the lot. As soon as he stepped out of the car, he saw someone crouched in the corner of the wall, which startled him in the dim light.
“Oh my goodness, you gave me such a scare. My dear Queen, what are you doing squatting here with your suitcase? Aren’t you cold? Hey, what’s wrong, have you been crying? Did someone bully you, was it Bro Ye?”
Tang Zhou crouched in front of Ye Xingguang, reached out, and nudged her head.
Ye Xingguang looked up, knocked Tang Zhou’s hand away, and didn’t want to speak.
Tang Zhou tried to pull her up, “Little Xingguang, you’re in for a treat. I bought lots of food—let’s go have hot pot. Want milk tea? Even though I only bought one, but what’s our relationship? I’ll give it to you. Come on, get in the car and help me with the stuff.”
