He didn’t resist me to take his arm, and he just stared at me after getting into the elevator, “Why do you want to please me like this? Have you been fooling around on me?”
I let go of his arm, “Mr. Hua, do you have victim paranoia? You keep thinking about people being unkind to you all the time, but in fact, it’s only you doing something bad to others, okay?”
Leon grunted coldly, and replied in a serious manner, “That’s true.”
That pissed me off. What did he mean? Does that mean he admitted that he had fooled me around?
“What have you done again?” I asked impatiently.
He replied earnestly, “In what way do you ask?”
“Things you’ve done that you feel sorry for me!”
“That’s too much to say,” he said, putting a bold face.
Seeing that I was furious, he said again slowly, “When you are not with us, I let Alex say that he loves me more than you.”
I knew he was teasing me, and I certainly wouldn’t fall for it. “What do you want to eat?”
“Whatever.” He said simply.
I took him to a nearby noodle restaurant and ordered him a bowl of noodles with green, which he ate well.
While waiting for him to eat, I took my phone to go through the news and saw the news that there was a major car accident happened on Suyang Highway and traffic was blocked for five hours.
“You drove here, didn’t you?” I looked to him.
“Yeah. Do you think I walk here?” He asked me.
“Suyang Highway was blocked for five hours and how did you get here?” I shook my phone.
“Not long after I got on the highway, I got stuck in the traffic. Otherwise, I would have been here earlier.” He said lightly.
I froze for a moment, “You were stuck on the highway for five hours?”
“Actually, it was more than five hours. It was nearly six hours.” He still kept eating his noodles, without raising his head.
“So, you’ve arrived here in the early morning?”
He looked at me, “You are too fragile and cry badly because of a nightmare, so I’m coming over to make sure whether you’re good.”
I almost burst into tears. Does he mean that once he got my call in the early morning of yesterday, he immediately headed for Yang City? But there was a traffic jam, so he got here until now.
He noticed my reaction, “Hey, don’t be. I mainly came over to check how the project is going on.”
I wiped my eyes, “I’m not moved.”
After finishing the noodles, he said, “I’m a little sleepy. How about taking me to the place you live.”
That’s right. He had come over early in the morning and he needed some sleep. No wonder his face looked a little pale.
“Xuanlong told me that Wenbei Su introduced the house to you? And the price is quite cheap?” Leon said.
I was wondering what he wanted to express in his words and I found out he meant nothing else.
Then I said, “Yeah, it’s located in the city center, convenient to get to the bank and some institutions. The house belongs to a friend of Mr. Su, who has been settled abroad, so it can be rented in a low price.”
“Show me the house.” Leon said.
The rush hour was over and there was no traffic jam, and we drove to the South Residence in a short time.
“Look, this house is awesome, right? It is surrounded by tall buildings, and itself has not been pulled down, so I bet the owner is very rich, otherwise the house would have been sold a long time ago. This place is definitely worth than anything else.”
But I didn’t get a response, and I turned back to look at Leon, who was wandering off, and his eyes fixed on the gate.
“Well? Isn’t it a nice house?” I asked him. But he still didn’t reply, and his eyes were drifting. He was completely absent-minded.
“Hey, what are you thinking about?” I raised my voice.
It was only then that he regained his thoughts and said ‘Oh’ to me. “Is this house that Wenbei Su rents to you?”
“No, he didn’t rend it to me. It belongs to his friend, who has settled abroad for a long time. Then the house is vacant, and he felt it was cheerless, so he rented it out and let the tenant take care of it for him, thinking in this way the house would be with more vitality.”
Leon, however, did not respond.
After parking the car, we got out. Leon walked towards the stone bench carved out of bluestone in the courtyard and extended his slender fingers, gently rubbing them. there was a strange look on his face.
“You like the house a lot, don’t you? I like it very much.” I asked him.
But he didn’t say anything, just sitting on the stone bench, and his eyes were still drifting.
“Don’t sit here. Let’s go and sit inside. Take a shower and get a good sleep. You must be tired.” I said.
“Which bedroom do you live in?” He asked suddenly.
“Uh, I live in the second room in the side hall, and Long lives this side.”
“Hmm.” Leon nodded lightly. And then he fell back into silence. I felt he acted strangely since he had come to this house.
“Let me show you around.”
Leon walked to the main hall door and reached out his hands to touch the pillar, slowly, as if he was performing a very solemn ceremony. And his eyes were closed.
“What are you doing? You really love this house, don’t you? I kind of like it too, but I don’t think you liked more.” I said with a smile.
“Here, let me carry you.” Leon said suddenly.
I froze for a moment, “What?”
He had already bent down, “Here, come to my back.”
I was a little puzzled, but it was rare that Leon gave me such an honor, so of course I should try the feeling of being carried by him, and I did as he said.
“Now you need to hold my head and cover my eyes. Don’t let me see anything.” Leon said.
I was even more puzzled, “What are your intentions?”
“Don’t worry. Just do as I say.”
“I can’t do this. You carry me on your back, and make me cover your eyes, but if you fall, will I be miserable? You should know I’m on your back.” I shouted.
“You don’t believe me?” Leon asked.
“No. It’s too risky. I can’t. There’s no need for you to do this.”
Leon sighed, “I know no one believes me, only…”
He stopped and asked me again, “Do you have a silk scarf? Black one will be nice.”
I thought for a moment, “I have one in my suitcase, but it’s gray.”
“Bring it.” Leon said.
Although I thought it was strange, I found it out for him.
He tied it around his head, which completely blinded himself, “You follow me and now I’ll show you around. Let’s go to your bedroom first.”
He finished, without waiting for my reaction, and took a step forward. He was counting, “One, two, three…”
Although I wasn’t quite sure if the silk scarf could completely cover the eyes, I was sure that even if it couldn’t, Leon wouldn’t open his eyes. He seemed to be performing a very sacred thing.
When he counted to 36, he started to turn left, and then kept counting. When he counted 17, he said, “Your bedroom is here.”
Yes, he was standing exactly where the bedroom was. He didn’t have to see anything to find my bedroom. I could feel something.
