Chapter 237 Heartbroken...
Chapter 237 Heartbroken...
After Liu Yingying rushed into the kitchen, tears burst out again.
Faced with her mother's usual concern, she wanted to throw herself into her arms without caring about anything.
But it was impossible. Her mother was in poor health and she didn't dare let her know, for fear that she would get angry and hurt herself.
Liu Yingying swam to the stove in a daze, sat on a small stool, hugged herself, and stared at the blazing fire in the stove with tearful eyes.
He was back, wasn't he? But why didn't he want to see her? Was he afraid that she would pester him?
Liu Yingying's heart and mind were in a mess, and she couldn't understand why he treated her like this.
Liu Yingying stayed in the kitchen for a long time. In the end, she did not throw the letter that was crumpled by her into the fire, but put it away again.
For the next half day, she fed the pigs and worked, as if nothing had happened.
But no one knows a girl better than her mother. Liu Yingying's unusual silence still made Zhou realize that something was wrong with her.
Unfortunately, her daughter's mouth was like a clam and she didn't say anything, so she didn't know where to start. She decided in her heart to pay attention to her words and actions.
Everything was normal until the evening.
At that time, the sky was full of fiery red glow, and there were heavy shadows of trees beyond the green mountains in the distance. The returning birds were alone, flying over the small village with curling smoke. They looked a little desolate, just like Liu Yingying's heart.
"Yingying, where are you going so late?" Zhou, who had been following her for a long time, stopped and asked when she saw her daughter go out.
"Mother, I'm going to Ze Ge'er's house and will be back soon." Liu Yingying tilted her head slightly and replied.
Zhou couldn't see her expression, but she felt that her daughter's voice sounded a little hoarse and her back looked a little lonely, and her eyebrows jumped involuntarily.
"Why don't you go so late? It will probably be dark by the time you come back. It's pitch dark and the road is difficult to walk on. It's not too late to talk about it tomorrow if you have anything to say." Zhou said.
Regardless of whether the daughter is worried or not, it is not safe for a girl like her to walk alone at night. How can she feel at ease?
Thinking of this, Zhou felt more and more that it would be better for her not to go, or she might as well go with him.
"It's okay, mother. I'll be back soon and make sure to be home before dark." Liu Yingying was about to leave after saying this, for she was afraid that if she said another word to her mother, the heart that she had built up with great difficulty would collapse.
In fact, she also thought about waiting until tomorrow to ask Ze Ge'er.
But she endured it again and again, but still couldn't calm her heart that was clamoring and on the verge of collapse.
She wanted to know the answer! She wanted to know it urgently!
Her intuition told her that Ze Ge'er and Yu Ge'er might have known about this for a long time!
It was because of this that they went to the stream, and Yuger looked at her with that kind of eyes and tested her thoughts, but became even more dejected after getting her answer.
The reason why she didn't look for Yuger wasn't because she was angry with him, nor was she annoyed with him, but because he was a bit timid and had a rather erratic personality. If she went to look for him herself, she might not be able to hide the matter from her mother.
Liu Yingying blinked her long and narrow eyelashes, and her nose began to feel sore and her eyes became dry again.
So she walked faster and faster as if she was trying to escape.
"Yingying, how about mother go with you?" Zhou chased after her, asking worriedly.
"No need!" The voice was urgent, and full of congestion.
After shouting, Liu Yingying regretted it.
She couldn't control her emotions...
When Zhou heard this, she immediately realized that something was wrong with her, so she slowed down and stopped.
After hesitating for a moment, he took two steps forward and said softly, "Yingying, did something happen to you? If there is something wrong, don't keep it in your heart, talk to your mother."
"Oh, what can happen to me? Don't ask me, mother. I will be back soon."
For the first time, Liu Yingying felt that her mouth was so stupid, but in order to prevent her mother from following her, she turned around and smiled at her.
"It's nothing really."
Zhou didn't believe it in her heart, but when she saw the pleading look in her daughter's smiling eyes, she pursed her lips and finally compromised.
"Then go quickly and come back soon. Mother is waiting for you at home."
"……Um"
Hearing this, Liu Yingying felt a pang in her heart, then she turned around and walked away quickly.
At this time, Xia Mo, who was discussing the cooked food business with Ling Chuan, had no idea that Liu Yingying had already learned the truth and was rushing towards his house at great strides.
So when he was writing the recipe furiously in his room, he heard noise outside the door.
"Brother Chuan, it seems like someone is calling me." Xia Mo raised his head and looked outside.
Ling Chuan had excellent hearing, so he naturally heard it. He put down the ink stick and said to the boy, "You continue, I'll go take a look."
Xia Mo looked down at the recipe he had almost finished writing and nodded: "Okay, I'll go out after I finish this one."
So Lingchuan went out.
When Ling Chuan saw Liu Yingying with slightly swollen eyes, his eyes moved slightly, then instantly retracted.
"Brother Ling, I'm looking for Brother Ze." Liu Yingying stated her purpose. She didn't smile because she couldn't.
Ling Chuan nodded and turned away: "Mo'er is inside."
Liu Yingying was full of things on her mind and didn't pay much attention to whether he called her "Mo'er" or "Ze'er". She nodded politely and went straight in.
Inside, Xia Mo just put down his pen and walked out.
"Ah, it's Sister Yingying, why are you here?"
Xia Mo stepped forward, but when he saw Liu Yingying's slightly haggard face, his heart suddenly skipped a beat.
Those eyes and nose clearly show that she has cried! Could it be that Yu Ge'er didn't keep it a secret? Did Sister Yingying know about it? !
Xia Mo was shocked, but also felt more pity.
Liu Yingying did not miss the flash of astonishment on his face. Her eyes narrowed slightly, and she became more and more certain that what she thought was correct.
Ze Geer, he really knows...
"I want to talk to you alone about something, is that okay?" Liu Yingying pursed her lips and went straight to the point, looking at Ling Chuan apologetically while speaking.
"Of course, I haven't chatted with Sister Yingying for a long time." Xia Mo agreed immediately.
"You guys chat, I'll go boil some water."
Ling Chuan didn't say much. After he finished speaking, he left very tactfully, leaving the space to the young man and the poor woman.
"Sister Yingying, please come in. I have some newly bought scented tea here. Drinking it can not only beautify your skin, but also nourish your heart and lungs. It's delicious." Xia Mo said dryly.
Liu Yingying did not refuse, "Okay."
The two entered the house and sat down.
Xia Mo poured a bowl of scented tea made with water from Linghu Lake for her and himself, "Sister Yingying, drink some water first. I see your lips are quite dry."
Liu Yingying was silent for a moment, then picked up the bowl and took a sip.
The scented tea was very sweet, but Liu Yingying had no appetite for it. She took one sip and put it down.
Then he looked at Xia Mo intently and said, "Ze'er, have you and Yu'er seen Gu Lang?"
Xia Mo's eyes widened slightly: "Sister Yingying, you know?!"
Liu Yingying smiled bitterly, "Sure enough, no wonder Brother Yu has been distracted recently and doesn't even dare to look me in the eye."
