Chapter 61
As the words fell, Su Orange’s face turned white at a speed visible to the naked eye, her chest felt like it had been heavily stepped on, and the problem she had been unwilling to face for so long was spoken out in such a bare/naked/naked manner without any maneuvering.
If she hadn’t been against the table, she might have stumbled and fallen.
He was right, what did he have to do with Grandma’s death, he wasn’t the one who wanted the old man to get sick, and in the end he hadn’t done anything to Grandma.
He didn’t even know Grandma was sick.
She was the one who had forced the issue.
Su Orange didn’t remember how she walked out of the office, she took her leave from Qin Yuan on her cell phone and then grabbed her bag and left the company.
Walking aimlessly, she didn’t know where she was going, the daylight reflected her shadow, falling and lonely.
Walked from dawn to dark, until the pain came from her heel she came back to her senses, looked down and wore off a large layer of skin.
Someone next to her passed by and stopped, reminding her, “Your cell phone is ringing.”
Su Orange only then heard the ringing of her cell phone, she nodded, “Thank you.”
Then took out her cell phone from her bag, it was Su Liangshu’s call, she didn’t answer it, she directly hung up, then Su Liangshu called again, she picked up.
Su Liangshu angrily said, “Su orange, you are really my good daughter.”
Su Orange walked all afternoon, her legs were tired, she was in a bad mood and didn’t want to care about people, she asked him, “What do you want to say?”
“Do you really want to keep the millions of demolition money all to yourself?” Su Liangshu said, “That is the old lady’s.”
“The house book is in my name, I’ve already consulted, it’s mine.” Su Orange just wanted to end the call quickly, “If you have doubts you should still sue me.”
Su Liangshu, “You think I don’t dare?”
Su Orange lightly hummed, “What wouldn’t you dare, it’s not the first time you’ve done it.”
Previously, Su Liangshu had already fought for the property but was unsuccessful, “Your grandmother’s house, your brother should also have a share.”
Su orange said in a deep voice, “I repeat, the house book is in my name, the house is mine, it has nothing to do with any of you.”
The words fell, she hung up the phone directly despite Su Liangshu’s tirade, and then blacked out her cell phone number and micro-signal together.
Ears finally clean, she continued to walk forward, not far away cell phone rang again, this time it was Zhou Yuchen calling, Su orange hesitated for a moment and then connected, her voice sickly, “Hello.”
She was really a bit unable to stand, and when the wind blew, the person followed and swayed.
Zhou Yuchen had been worried for the whole afternoon and finally contacted her, his voice was trembling, “Orange.”
He called her in a mute voice.
“Uh-huh.” Su Orange paused in her steps and stood on the side of the road, in front of her was the intersection, she suddenly didn’t know how to go.
It seemed like how to go was wrong, just like those eight years, choosing and choosing she chose the most difficult road, everyone followed her in pain.
“I’m sorry.” Zhou Yuchen sounded like he was about to cry.
I don’t know if she was infected by him, Su Orange’s emotions also bubbled up all of a sudden, her eyes were wet, and her eyelashes were tinted with moisture, her voice was very soft, “You’re not wrong, it really isn’t any of your business.”
She stubbornly trapped herself in that small side of the world, and also forcefully said that it was him who caused it.
In truth, it was her own unwillingness to come out.
“No, it’s my fault.” Zhou Yuchen coaxed gently, “If I hadn’t disappeared, you wouldn’t have missed the meeting with Grandma, and maybe nothing would have happened to her.”
“It’s my fault.”
Zhou Yuchen regretted the words he spoke in the office, it wasn’t his intention, he didn’t want to shirk his responsibility, and even more so, he didn’t want to upset Su Orange.
That was her closest person, no one would hurt more than her. No one was qualified to preach anything, including him.
“Where are you?” He asked.
She looked around with red eyes, feeling familiar and unfamiliar, shaking her head, “I don’t know, I might have gotten lost.”
“You send me the location.” Zhou Yuchen was anxious, “Send it now.”
Su Orange heard footsteps, and Zhu Ran’s voice, asked Zhou Yuchen where he was going, Zhou Yuchen didn’t reply, Su Orange said, “Don’t come.”
Zhou Yuchen paused, “What did you say?”
“Don’t look for me.” Su Orange walked back to the street, bent her knees and squatted down, wrapped her arms around herself and restrained herself from crying, “I don’t want to see anyone.”
“Su Orange.” Zhou Yuchen’s voice heaved some, then lightened again, “Do you want to see me go crazy.”
Just finished speaking, the beeping sound came from the other end of the receiver, Su Orange ended the call and turned off her cell phone, she slowly stood up with her hands propped up on her knees, then walked aimlessly again.
Ahead there were small couples walking hand in hand, the boy fed the girl milk tea, the girl fed the boy ice cream, the boy rubbed the girl’s head, the girl snuggled into the boy’s arms.
They were still wearing their high school uniforms, they looked like high school students.
Su Orange remembered her own high school life, in addition to studying, probably to follow Zhou Yuchen, creating coincidental encounters, secretly walking the same way home with him, even if the detour is far, but also willing.
She bought the same school bag pendant as his, as a couple’s model.
Even the water cup, she also bought the same model, but did not dare to bring to school, only dared to use at home, every time she used that cup to drink water, she had a kind of in and Zhou Yuchen do the same thing feeling, as if they are closer.
He ran through her entire youth, and was the brightest light in her world.
Later that light went out, or she extinguished it with her own hands, Su Orange’s vision became blurred, and she realized with hindsight that she was crying.
Since the burial of her grandmother she had rarely cried, and every time she went to the cemetery to see her, she only reported the good news and not the bad news, and all she said was happy things.
As if sadness was far away from her.
In fact, sadness has always been there, just hidden by her.
Su Orange didn’t notice the pit under her feet, she tripped a little, after standing steadily and just about to move, there was a pain there in her ankle, she laughed to herself, it was really a leaky house, there was really no way to walk now.
She looked to her left and right, there was neither a stop sign nor a place to sit, her feet wouldn’t last long.
Fishing out her cell phone from her bag, turning it on, she wanted to take a taxi, the car was not yet available, Zhou Yuchen’s call came in, he spoke in a breathy voice, “Where the hell are you?”
Realizing his tone was wrong, he lightened it again, “Tell me, Orange.”
Feet too painful, Su Orange did not have the temper to carry it anymore, put down his face, choked his voice and said, “I’ll send the location to your cell phone.”
“Okay, I’ll wait for you.” Zhou Yuchen urged, “Don’t hang up the phone.”
“Uh-huh.” Su Orange tapped into WeChat, poked into his avatar, and sent the location over.
“I’ll come to you right away.” He said.
The next second, Su Orange heard the sound of a car starting, he said while driving, “Don’t go anywhere, just wait there.”
Su Orange gave a hmmm and no sound after that.
Zhou Yuchen was worried about her and kept looking for a topic, “Have you had dinner?”
She returned, “No.”
“What do you want to eat?” He asked again.
“Not hungry.” She said.
“Szechuan food?”
“Don’t want to eat.”
He coaxed softly and asked, “What do you want to eat then?”
“Barbecue, beer.” She said.
“Okay, then let’s go eat barbecue.” Zhou Yuchen turns the steering wheel, hears that she has lost her voice, and moves the Bluetooth headset on his ear, “Who was that man yesterday?”
It was actually quite dangerous for him to ask this question, but he couldn’t help it, and had wanted to ask it since last night when he had her against the wall.
“Dated.” Su Orange said it naturally, “Talked for a month.”
“And now?” Zhou Yuchen’s fingers on the steering wheel tightened, “What relationship now? Still talking?”
“No.” Su Orange pursed her lips, “Split up long ago.”
Zhou Yuchen’s heart dropped to the ground with a thud, his voice sounded a little light, “Why?”
“Not suitable.” Some cold, Su Orange gathered the clothes on her body, “Not electric.”
Zhou Yuchen hmmmed, “It’s true that it’s not easy to be electrified with his looks like that.”
His appearance is quite similar to the time when he was in school again, mixed up in saying that other people do not look as good as him, Su Orange subconsciously retorted, “In fact, the looks are also okay.”
“You like that?” Zhou Yuchen realized that his emotions were completely following Su Orange, one word from her could send him to the sky, one word could send him to the ground.
She was the one at the helm, dominating all of him.
“Zhou Yuchen,” she called him by his name again, every time she called him by his name it was always no good, Su Orange said, “You’ve crossed the line again.”
Zhou Yuchen knows, knows everything, but just can’t control it, can’t control the jealousy and envy crazy, he wants to hug her, kiss her, press her on the bed against the death.
Kiss every part of her body.
Crazy like want.
However, he can not, he has to wait, wait for her heart soft, wait for her to compromise, wait for her to forgive.
Zhou Yuchen’s body is like two people living, one keeps persuading, “Give her time, take your time, those hurts will always pass.”
The other sharpened his teeth and hissed, “You do not see her smiling at others, if you wait for her to be someone else’s, are you willing.”
He was torn by these two voices, and his person was about to be ripped apart.
After a long time, Zhou Yuchen only said, “Su Orange, I have no way to let go.”
Zhou Yuchen found Su Orange after half twenty minutes or so, at that time Su Orange no longer had the strength to stand, staggering, a man passed by and saw that she was in pain and asked if he needed help.
Su Orange shook her head and said, “Thank you.”
The man insisted, “You look very bad, I’d better send you to the hospital.”
Between pulling and pulling Su Orange was pushed to the ground, the man reached out to help her, Zhou Yuchen ran down from the car, picking up the man’s collar to beat him up.
Su Orange called out to him, “Zhou Yuchen stop.”
Zhou Yuchen let go of his hand and bent down to help Su Orange, the man cursed and left.
Su Orange sees Zhou Yuchen keep turning his head to stare at the man and says softly, “He didn’t do anything to me.”
Zhou Yuchen retracts his line of sight, seeing Su Orange’s difficulty in walking, he bends down and picks her up horizontally, “Hold me tight.”
Su Orange didn’t dare to joke about her body, hurriedly wrapping her arms around his neck, but her body was leaning outward, not close.
Getting into the car, Su Orange sat in the passenger seat in a regular manner, not even giving Zhou Yuchen a chance to fasten his seatbelt.
He asked her if it hurt, and she endured it, saying, “It doesn’t hurt too much.”
To the hospital, Zhou Yuchen also want to hold her, she shook her head, hopped on one foot into the elevator, leaning in the farthest position from him.
In a trance, that harmony on the phone just now is gone again, Su Orange has become a rejectionist again.
Zhou Yuchen wanted to say something a few times, but seeing her face pale and unable to speak, he could not bear to force her, he could only force himself to endure.
Fingers pinched on the palm, told himself, don’t be anxious, people have to chase slowly, one eight years is already enough, can’t have another eight years.
The check is quite smooth, no fracture, just a slight contusion, nourish can be good, the doctor did not even prescribe medicine, is Zhou Yuchen do not feel at ease, forced the doctor to prescribe medicine.
The cost of the medicine was also paid by Zhou Yuchen, after returning to the car, Su Orange transferred the money to him.
Zhou Yuchen stared for a while, “What do you mean?”
“You take it.” Su Orange’s fingers gouged the seatbelt, her teeth biting her lip, “There’s no reason to let you pay.”
She really knows how to be frustrating.
Zhou Yuchen wanted to grab her hand and bite it hard, but held back and nodded, “Okay, I’ll take it.”
He could see that if he didn’t accept it, she wouldn’t even sit in the car.
Su Orange really thought that way, if he didn’t accept it, she would rather walk back by herself.
The car drove slowly and finally stopped in front of a barbecue stall, Su Orange spoke first: “This time I’ll treat.”
Zhou Yuchen didn’t argue with her, “Okay, your treat.”
He took the first step to push the door to get off the car, and then went to her side to help her, Su Orange looked at the hand in front of the cold white long fingers after a moment of silence, or did not help, she held the door off the car.
When walking, Zhou Yuchen wanted to help her several times, but was also refused, Su Orange said, “I can do it myself.”
Zhou Yuchen smiles to himself as he follows her and lowers his voice to say, “It seems that you really don’t need me.”
Su Orange paused and continued to walk, never picking up his words, between her and him, even if there was no grandmother there were other barriers.
Sun Xia and his family, all count.
What his father had said, she was not worthy of their family, don’t even dream of it.
Su Orange’s tastes Zhou Yuchen remembers them all, and the orders are all what she likes to eat, the waiter pushes the fruits and asks what they want, Zhou Yuchen purposely mentions his mouth, “Don’t want mango, and all the others come with some.”
After eight years, he still remembers her mango allergy.
Su orange mood is a little complicated, heart sinking, did not eat much, but kept drinking, Zhou Yuchen did not stop, just in her need for paper towels at the right time to hand over paper towels.
And then when she wanted to pour wine, pour her full.
He rested his cheeks and looked at her, watching her face turn a little red, the corners of his lips followed, just on the way to find her, he was panicked to death, more panicked than that early in the year when he arrived in the United States and was robbed of his wallet.
That half an hour was just half an hour for other people, but not for Zhou Yuchen, his heart was in his throat and would jump out at any time.
Good thing she was fine in the end.
Su Orange finished another cup, this is the fifth cup she drank, her stomach was rising, her consciousness was a little shaky, her drinking capacity is almost up to here, if she drinks more, she will definitely get drunk.
Zhou Yuchen asked her, “Still drinking?”
She burps, narrowing her eyes and asking, “You want to get me drunk, don’t you?”
Zhou Yuchen raised his eyebrows and said, “No.”
Su Orange didn’t believe it, lightly humming, “You are.”
Her consciousness was really messed up, it was like there was a mass of hemp in her mind, she couldn’t make sense of it.
Suddenly, she put her head over and blinked, “Zhou Yuchen, we’re not possible anymore.”
If she told it when she was sober, Zhou Yuchen would be very sad, but she was drunk at this time, her face was red, her pear swirls were deep, and she looked so good that she suppressed those discomforts, and he asked, “Why?”
She probed forward again, probed to the very front, stopped at a stone’s throw away from his face, her breath all seemed to mingle together.
The atmosphere became somewhat ambiguous.
Her long eyelashes fluttering, her eyes dense, the corner of her lips pulled down and flattened, just to say what, was he grabbed the jaw and kissed his lips.
