C20 Cold War

Wine was both a good medicine and a poison. It made people worry and add oil to the fire. He had drunk too much of the foreign wine last night, and his head was still aching from the dizziness.

In the morning, he didn't want to work nor think too much. He plugged in the phone and turned it on. He called Wang Huan and gave her a simple task. Then, he muted his phone and fell asleep.

She slept until two in the afternoon. Only when the phone rang in her ear did she reluctantly wake up.

His head hurt even more when he saw the caller ID.

"What's wrong with Mom?"

As if she had foresight, she clicked on speaker, and the phone fell flat beside her pillow.

"Su Yue, tell me honestly, why don't you agree to be with that boy? Do you think you have water in your head or are you asking for a beating? "

Su Yue was exhausted. She knew this would happen, but she didn't expect her mother's reaction to be so intense.

Besides, that eye of hers was interested in someone else? Is there any point in breaking the rules just by looking at a bunch of flowers?

She didn't want to explain more when faced with her mother who was unable to remain calm. At the same time, he was secretly glad that he wasn't in front of her when she was lecturing. Otherwise, he would definitely have been scolded on the spot by her using her finger to poke his forehead.

His head was caught by the door.

What the lucky ones didn't know was that their father had been involved with her mother last night. Where was he now? In the cold war with her mother, people were starving to the point that their stomachs ached. They didn't even eat breakfast or lunch today.

"Su Yue, speak. Tell me honestly, do you hate me? Do you hate my decisiveness at that time? Do you hate me for obstructing your longing for love? Do you hate me for cutting off your marriage? Do you really want me to die earlier? Then no one will nag at you?" At this point, Aunt Su's eyes had already turned red and she began to sob softly.

She didn't think she was wrong when she tried to stop Su Yue from falling in love.

On the contrary, she firmly believed that if she hadn't been forced to do so, she wouldn't have her current life.

Life is often you and I did not expect, no one can be able to figure out what will happen tomorrow.

Su Yue massaged her temples with a headache when she heard that her mother had moved out those rotten grains. When had she ever thought about it like that?

She had already told her at least ten times that she didn't have such thoughts. It was just that she didn't meet with any.

Why did she have to force him into a corner? Shouldn't she persuade herself to find the right one? Or could it be that she felt that she was an item and that it was about to expire, so she had to deal with it cheaply?

Hearing her mother's sad sobs, she also felt uncomfortable, but that didn't mean that she was going to compromise. She helplessly explained, "Mom, this isn't what you think. I'm just a colleague, nothing else."

She denied it, even the relationship they had only just had last night.

She turned off the speakerphone, put the receiver to her ear, and patiently listened to her mother's complaint.

Su Yue didn't say anything else, she just kept saying "yeah" every now and then before turning around and sighing.

No one was so tired of her...

At this point, she really wanted to get some rice porridge to nourish her stomach.

But the imagination was very good, and the reality was very hard. He took off the pot on the kitchen counter. There was nothing inside.

Sighing, she resisted the dizziness and the urge to move. She went to wash her face first. The cold water washed her face, allowing her to feel a bit more awake. However, the dizziness in her head was still lingering.

She quickly washed up and wiped off the excess water on her face. Then, she went to the kitchen and made herself a bowl of plain noodles. When she saw that there was not a single bit of oily liquid floating on the noodles, she could not bring herself to eat.

She picked up the chopsticks in her hands and put them down. In the end, when she received the protest from her stomach, she chose to use the chopsticks.

If even what he had done was disdained, then there was probably nobody left.

The person who had no taste in his mouth could not help but furrow his brows, put down the chopsticks in his hand and ran to the bathroom after eating only two bites.

"Ouch ~"

She held the toilet and spat out everything she had just eaten. Her stomach was full of acid, and she felt like she was about to vomit all of her internal organs.

She slid down the wall and sat on the floor. It was as if she had experienced a great calamity. She sat there helplessly. Her bones were lazy and she was not under her control. She was numb. She didn't even have the strength to walk out of the bathroom.

The crystal clear tears slid down from the corner of her eyes. The uncomfortable feeling in her heart rose involuntarily, as it deeply engulfed her calm heart.

"Snap." Lu Yichen stood at the door of her room and knocked on the door with the soup in his hand.

The drowsy man in the bathroom felt uncomfortable and heavily exhaled when he heard the knock on the door. At this time, he reluctantly shouted out, "Coming!" He propped himself up from the floor and went to open the door.

She walked over to the door as if she hadn't woken up. When she saw the person, she subconsciously wanted to pull the door open, but he pulled on the door before her.

Su Yue had no choice but to let him go. She put her defensive hands in front of her and asked, "Mr. Lu, what's the matter?"

"It's nothing, you just drank a lot last night. I thought you would have a headache right now, so I made you some sobering soup. Remember to drink it yourself." He held out the soup to her.

Staring at her pale-faced face, she felt a wave of pain in her heart. She wanted to reach out and caress her face, but she couldn't avoid it.

He was not anxious about her current rejection of him. There were some things that needed to be boiled like a frog in warm water. They had to be stewed slowly and not be rushed.

Su Yue had no reason to reject Lu Yichen's kind heart. At this moment, she really needed to be so kind as to accept it from his hands in gratitude.

"You're already like this, why are you still planning to go to work today?"

Su Yue was confused first. She was already like that? After which, those who had reacted nodded their heads heavily and pursed their lips, "There's nothing we can do. There's someone resting today."

Actually, the most important thing was whether or not someone else was taking a rest today or this month. If the HR Department came at the end of the month to ask for her time form, then she would definitely be done for.

Lu Yichen pursed his lips and nodded, "Alright then, you should rest for a while. Remember to drink the sobering soup, otherwise, it will give you a headache."

"Alright, thank you. Bye bye."

After regaining his vitality, he nodded his head and closed the door. Then, he took the sobering soup and walked into the living room. This dish was much better than the plain noodles.

She happily drank it. At this moment, she didn't feel as if her head hurt any more.

It had been almost half a month since the last incident, the scorching summer day.

Su Yue worked according to schedule every day, and every day at 2.1am every day. She would meet early in the morning after a meeting, and after the meeting, she would go on a date in the afternoon. She would meet her old friends that she hadn't seen for a long time, listen to them gossip about the hottest things in the world, and occasionally express her opinions.

There were rules in life, and in the eyes of others, it was a comfortable life.

Lu Yichen and her seemed to have made an agreement with each other. Ever since they met that day, they did not take the initiative to look for each other. It was as if this person had never appeared at all.

The days flowed on like flowing water, and this situation continued all the way until the end of the month. Before Su Yue left, the two of them had never met.

This morning, Su Yue had changed into a green, shoulder-missing V-neck, straw hat, beach shoes, and a pair of sunglasses the size of a palm on her oval face. Her lips were painted a bright red, and she carried a bamboo handbag that gave her the impression of strolling along a beach.

She had put on the style of a oneesan when she saw the casual look on the beach. She had an outstanding temperament as she dragged her luggage as she walked out of the district.

At this point, the driver she had booked hurriedly helped her put her suitcase in the trunk of the car, while she herself opened the rear door and got in.

After the driver put his things away, he got into the driver's seat, fastened his seat belt, and drove away.

This time, she applied for a half-month leave of absence from the company, not only to attend her best friend's wedding, but also to relax for a while and clear her head.

She rolled up the window, cutting off sight.

What Su Yue didn't notice was that the moment she rolled up the window, Lu Yichen coincidentally turned the steering wheel and entered the parking lot. The two of them just missed each other.

He parked the car in his own parking space and got out of the car.

He took the elevator upstairs.

When the guest elevator stopped on the 18th floor, he strode to the door of Su Yue's room. Just when he wanted to knock, Lin Le opened the door from the inside.

Lu Yichen sized up the person in front of him. A familiar feeling came over, but he couldn't tell where he had seen it before.

Lin Le felt guilty after being stared at by Shi Yan. He lowered his head as his pupils flashed with surprise. He was inwardly annoyed at his own negligence: why did he meet him here.

"You?"

"That Director Lu, you must be here to see Sister Su. Sister Su has been on leave since yesterday afternoon. She didn't tell us when she would be back."

Lin Le took his words and quickly told him what he wanted to know. The meaning behind his words was: You can leave now.

Lin Le, who was still inexperienced, would always panic when facing the mature and steady Lu Yichen. She hurriedly put on her high heels and went out, closing the door with a "bang" sound.

The sound of the door closing echoed in the corridor.

She pretended to be calm as she walked past him in big strides, escaping until she entered the elevator and confirmed that he wasn't following her. Only then did she pat her small body in relief.

It scared her to death. He removed the black eye sockets from the bridge of his nose, exposing her lively eyes.

The light in the room was dazzling him. He took advantage of the moment before the video broadcast to get to the content and walked over. With a wave of his hand, he drew the curtains to the living room. Suddenly, the entire room was shrouded in darkness.

He opened the lid of the beer and gulped it down, watching the content on the TV. He held the can and slowly applied some pressure to the bottle until it deformed.
