For the past few days, Xu Dazhi had been coming over to cook for her. Although he was boring, rather quiet, and always had his head lowered to avoid seeking attention, Zhuang Nainai had already understood what was going on.
Xu Dazhi liked her, so he was treating her like this. But she couldn’t possibly end up with Xu Dazhi. Since this was so, why were they wasting each others’ time and energy?
She had wanted to tell him this a long time ago, but Xu Dazhi refused to give her the opportunity to speak. Today, she finally got her opportunity.
As soon as she finished speaking, Su Yanbin looked over immediately.
Xu Dazhi also raised his head in disbelief. In his slightly narrowed eyes, there was bewilderment. As Zhuang Nainai looked into his eyes, she got carried away.
Why did she feel like Xu Dazhi’s gaze felt familiar?
Xu Dazhi remained silent while Su Yanbin stepped forward immediately and put his arm around Xu Dazhi’s shoulders. He said to Zhuang Nainai jokingly, “Why? Do you find the food that my Dazhi cooks unpleasant?”
Zhuang Nainai shook her head. “That’s not what I meant. I…”
“If that’s not what you meant, why are you being like this? We are all friends. Isn’t it normal for us to take care of you?” Su Yanbin said, interrupting her.
However, Zhuang Nainai was very insistent. “He’s not like you…”
“How is he not like me? Could it be that he is too ugly for your liking?” After saying this, Su Yanbin suddenly made a fuss over nothing. “Zhuang Nainai, you are so shallow! How could you judge a book by its cover?”
Zhuang Nainai completely ignored his annoying jokes and looked at Xu Dazhi. “Don’t come over tomorrow. I don’t know you that well.”
As soon as she finished speaking, Su Yanbin wanted to say something. However, Zhuang Nainai said immediately, “Su Yanbin, shut up!”
Su Yanbin sealed his mouth instantly, causing the room to become significantly quieter.
Lin Xi’er also watched with wide eyes as this scene unfolded in front of her. It had been more than 20 days since Nainai started her confinement. It was indeed fine even if she didn’t continue eating confinement meals. Even though she thought that this Xu Dazhi was generally a good person, his looks aside, Nainai had someone in her heart and didn’t want to accept Xu Dazhi. Hence, she couldn’t say anything about that.
After all, this was Nainai’s problem.
After a few moments of silence, Xu Dazhi said, “Okay.”
Upon saying this, he lowered his head quietly, turned around, and walked toward the living room. He picked up his bomber jacket and was about to leave.
That demeanor could make someone feel guilty unknowingly.
Zhuang Nainai looked at him for a moment before lowering her head and remaining silent.
All this while, she had been trying her best to eat well, drink well, sleep well, and not dwell on things. She had more or less recuperated, but that person had still not made an appearance.
Unknowingly, whenever Xu Dazhi was in the room, she seemed to feel more calm.
Her sorrow, despair, anguish, and disappointment toward Si Zhengting would not feel as intense as she had thought they would.
She felt like time was crawling past because she missed her children too much. She hoped that 30 days would pass quickly so that she could see her children. Other than that, she felt unusually calm.
Su Yanbin followed Xu Dazhi closely. When Xu Dazhi walked, he would walk too. Meanwhile, Lin Xi’er sent them off like the owner of the house would.
When they reached the door, Xu Dazhi looked back and nodded at Lin Xi’er. “Thank you. Please take good care of her.”
“Erm…” Lin Xi’er was dazed. After a while, she nodded. “Alright. Erm… You’re welcome.”
