Lu Yubei didn't hide, he lowered his eyes and looked at the top of Yun Wei's hair, feeling a stinging pain on his hand.
After a few seconds, seeing that he didn't move, Yun Wei let go and lowered her eyes.
There were teeth marks on one side of his wrist, which were very deep and slightly blue around the edges.
After two seconds, Lu Yubei called her: "Yunwei."
"Can you tell me what are you angry about?"
Yun Wei met his gaze and opened her mouth to say something, but he blocked her again.
His voice was low and hoarse: "Wen Yu? Grandpa? Is it because I don't like you?"
"Or both?"
Yunwei swallowed her saliva and didn't know how to answer him for a moment.
His umbrella tilted toward her, and snowflakes fell on his shoulders, covering them with white.
After a long time, she finally said: "Lu Yubei, I can't really afford it."
"I'm very vindictive. I always have been. The identity of Mrs. Lu is actually a shackles for me, and so are you. I can't be my true self."
Lu Yubei opened his thin lips slightly and wanted to say something, but Yunwei called out.
His eyes met hers, and she heard her voice, soft and strong: "Can you tell clearly, are you chasing me because you like me, or is it just because I suddenly broke away from your control and you are not used to it?"
"Yes."
He responded without much hesitation, paused for a moment, and then said, "I can't tell this clearly."
Perhaps he might not have been able to tell the difference before.
He never shied away from what he was thinking. Whatever he wanted, no matter how strong the idea was, he would definitely get it.
Yun Wei lowered her eyes slightly, and her gaze fell on his hand.
His hand was still holding hers tightly, his knuckles turning white from the cold.
Yun Wei paused for two seconds, then raised her eyes to look at him: "Let's go."
"Let me go first and go get your coat."
After hearing what she said, Lu Yubei relaxed his grip and let her go.
Yun Wei turned around and walked home. Lu Yubei slowed down and followed her on the left.
As soon as she entered the door, Danyang pounced on her and kept rubbing against Yunwei.
She rubbed the dog's head and pushed it in: "Egg Yolk, let me enter the house first."
The room was warm, and her body, which was stiff from the cold, stretched a little.
Egg Yolk took two steps back and tilted his head to look at her.
Seeing Lu Yubei behind her, Danyang was about to pounce on him again, but Yunwei called out.
It snorted twice and made no further movements. It stared at Lu Yubei for two seconds and then looked at Yun Wei.
Yun Wei didn't look at him, walked to the armrest next to the sofa, and handed him the coat on it.
She never touched it, and her coat was always thrown on the sofa.
"Here's your coat. It's getting late. Mr. Lu should go back."
Lu Yubei didn't answer. He glanced at the coat in her hand and said, "There's no rush."
Yunwei: "?"
Her hands were a little sore. Seeing that he didn't answer, she threw it back on the sofa and asked, "What, do you want to stay here for dinner?"
He chuckled: "It's not impossible."
Yunwei choked, then said, "I don't know how to cook, and I have no intention of keeping you."
"I can."
He should.
When he was studying abroad, he didn't live in a student dormitory. He lived outside by himself and didn't want to eat out three times a day, so he learned to cook for himself, and his cooking skills were pretty good.
Before Yun Wei said anything, he continued: "What do you like to eat? Cumin mutton?"
She didn't answer him.
How does he know she likes to eat this?
I must have asked Aunt Zhang.
Seeing that she was silent, Lu Yubei didn't ask any more questions. He raised his hand and took off the black watch on his left hand, placed it on the table aside, and took off his jacket again.
He turned around and walked towards the refrigerator.
Yun Wei quickly followed and said: "There is no mutton at home, you should go back..."
"You can do something else."
He interrupted her in a low voice, as if he had already acquiesced that he would stay.
Yunwei watched him open the refrigerator. There were a lot of ingredients in the refrigerator. She had just bought them. She originally wanted to learn to make some, but she hadn't had time yet.
Lu Yubei took out the beef and asked, "Are there any taboos?"
Yunwei was silent for a while, as if a little compromised, and said, "No."
She didn't buy any vegetables she didn't like.
Lu Yubei didn't say anything more, picked a few ingredients and walked inside.
Yun Wei stood there for a while, tilting her head to look at the balcony.
The snow was a little light, and as if she thought of something, she took out her mobile phone and sent a message to Jian Fubai.
Yun Wei: [Teacher Jian, are you home now? 】
She stared at the chat box for two seconds. The other party hadn't responded to her yet, so he was probably still on the way.
Yunwei put away her phone and turned her head to look at the kitchen.
Lu Yubei was washing vegetables with his eyes slightly closed. He was only wearing a white shirt now, with the sleeves rolled up to his forearms, revealing his smooth and beautiful lines.
The original condescending aura has been weakened a lot, and it seems a bit gentle.
As if she had realized something, she quickly turned her head and walked towards the sofa.
Yunwei turned on the TV, found a random movie, and turned up the volume.
The phone on the table vibrated and the screen lit up.
Yunwei reached out to get it, and Jian Fubai sent her a message back.
Jian Fubai: [Just got home. 】
Yunwei: [Okay, have a good rest. 】
She replied the message, put her phone aside, and turned her head to look in the direction of the kitchen.
Not long after, she smelled the aroma of food.
She didn't eat much at noon, so she was really hungry.
But she still didn't move a step, sitting on the sofa and staring at the TV screen.
Lu Yubei put the black pepper beef in his hand on the dining table and called her, "What? Do you want me to feed you?"
Yunwei swallowed, threw the remote control aside, stood up and walked towards the dining table.
Why don't you eat the food you bought? Thanks.
Seeing her coming, Lu Yubei lightly pulled his lower lip and turned towards the kitchen.
Three dishes, two meat and one vegetarian, looked very appetizing.
Lu Yubei put the empty bowl aside, pulled out the chair opposite her and sat down.
Yun Wei stared at the dishes on the table in a daze.
It's been a long time since she had food cooked just for her. The last time it was cooked for her was when her mother was around.
The mobile phone placed aside vibrated. Lu Yubei tilted his head and raised his hand to take it.
Lu Yunxun: [Aren’t you going to celebrate your birthday here this year? Wen Yu has been waiting here for a while, saying that he wants to celebrate your birthday with you. 】
Lu Yubei glanced at the message and typed on the keyboard with his fingertips: "I'm not going, someone is with me." 】
Lu Yubei: [From now on, don’t call me when Wen Yu is around. 】
He finished sending it and put the phone aside.
Yunwei didn't say a word, just lowered her head to eat, and didn't look up at him.
It was a weird meal.
Yun Wei put her chopsticks aside and looked up at him: "Can you leave now?"
Lu Yubei met her gaze and lowered his voice: "You are hiding someone and you are so anxious to drive me away?"
Yunwei stared at him without saying a word.
Lu Yubei was quiet for a while before speaking: "Today is my birthday."
Yunwei's eyelids trembled, and she calmed down for a while before speaking: "Then why don't you go back to Lu's house and spend time with Grandpa Lu?"
