“Zoey Baker?” he suddenly spoke up and called her name.
“Hmm?” She turned her face slightly sideways and looked at him strangely. They were so close that his breath was spraying all over the back of her neck.
Instead, he didn’t open his eyes and simply asked, “What do you think of him?”
“Which him?” The question that came out of nowhere left Zoey confused.
“Lucas Wang,” he replied after a moment’s pause. Three words, spitting out a little hard.
“Oh. He’s quite nice.” Strange why he’d suddenly bring up the name, but Zoey replied seriously anyway, “Very gentlemanly, polite, generous, and a good boyfriend.”
Seemingly dissatisfied with her answer, he hummed heavily from his nostrils and did not speak again, only releasing her and furrowing his brow deeper.
Zoey knew he was angry, but at what? Is it that she shouldn’t have gone on a blind date with him? Is that possible?
She didn’t dare to think so, but only pursed her lips and couldn’t help asking, “What about you?”
“I what?” He swept him away without a good-natured glance, before sullenly leaning his head back against the couch.
It’s really weird! Why isn’t the headache subsiding? It makes him feel so annoyed!
“You and my sister-in-law.” Zoey paused, deliberately trying to lighten her tone a little, “She’s married, after all! My brother is a good man, you can’t hurt him like that …”
Jerry Xiao moved his body and suddenly turned his eyes sideways, gazing at Zoey with complicated eyes, “You’re so against it because of your brother?”
Obviously not expecting this question, Zoey froze for a moment, but quickly came back to her senses and nodded, “Of course.”
Other reasons for objecting, she doesn’t have that qualification yet.
Jerry Xiao’s deep eyes grew darker and darker, and he grunted indifferently, “I warned you beforehand to tell your brother to beware.”
“If you really want to start, can you wait for their marriage to break up first? They don’t love each other, and even without you, the marriage doesn’t necessarily go well. My brother …”
Zoey’s urgent request was interrupted by Jerry Xiao’s impatience, “Zoey Baker, you’re so nosy!”
He frowned in annoyance and pressed his fingers against his brow. Zoey, fearing that his condition would get worse, did not dare to go on, and could only stare at him blankly.
After a long moment, he suddenly spoke, “I’m hungry.”
“Didn’t you eat a lot with Nabi at night?” When saying this, there was an unconscious sourness in his tone.
“The one who eats a lot should be you.” At that moment, he inexplicably just wasn’t in the mood to eat. He opened his eyes and looked at Zoey , “I paid for you guys, shouldn’t you symbolically cook a meal for me too?”
Zoey looked at him and nodded, “Then you rest. I’ll go see what’s in the fridge.”
In fact, even if he didn’t pay the bill, now if he said he was hungry, she would have cooked for him.
Zoey heads for the kitchen, sweeps in, and soon comes back out, looking at him with a helpless expression, “The fridge is empty! Aren’t you going to restock?”
Jerry Xiao looked unconcerned, “Last time I got annoyed and threw it all away.”
That day she left from here, he was really annoyed that he did not know what to find catharsis.
Zoey obviously knows exactly when he’s talking about the last time.
“So, you didn’t drink the porridge I cooked either?”
“Hmm.” He spread his hands and told the truth.
Zoey shook her head helplessly, so helplessly. Even the two little things in the house know to cherish food!
“Zoey Baker, what’s that look on your face?” He looked as helpless as if he was a capricious child, which was humiliating to Jerry Xiao.
Zoey didn’t want to educate him and just packed her bag while saying, “Give me the house keys, I’ll go out to the supermarket and get something to cook while you rest on the couch for a while.”
…
Zoey has been gone for a long time, and Nabi Yan is still staring blankly at the foyer.
Zoey has friends with WIID disorder too …
Jerry? Could it be him?
He had a seizure?
But why is he calling Zoey instead of himself?
It all seems so wrong!
Nabi Yan sat on the sofa and couldn’t help but think of Jerry Xiao’s disorder in the restaurant tonight and how Yami Hu had just asked Zoey about a blind date, everything was connected and Nabi Yan couldn’t sit still any longer.
He got up abruptly and headed upstairs to the dressing room.
After picking several times, she picked a set that she was slightly satisfied with. She cocked her head and surveyed herself for a while, thinking that such a dress would be liked by Jerry.
Jerry loves pearl earrings, so Nabi Yan tried to go along with him, but after picking around in the jewelry box, she couldn’t find a pair that fit.
I had to carry my handbag and walk towards Zoey’s room.
When she knocked on the door and entered, Nini happened to be in the room, and when she saw her, the little one called out obediently, “Auntie.”
Nabi held the baby in her arms and asked, “Auntie wants to go out now and would like to borrow a pair of earrings from your mommy, is that okay?”
“Sure.” The little one was generous and slid out of her arms again, “I’ll go get it for my aunt.”
“Okay, thanks Nini.”
Nini carried out a jewelry box and put it in front of Nabi, who saw the pair of pearl earrings lying at the bottom.
The workmanship is exquisite, with just the right amount of shine and moistness. It is also engraved with ‘L and Y’ in English respectively, obviously taken from her name.
“Lend this pair to your aunt, will you? Auntie will return it later.” Nabi took it in her hand and looked at it, a little lovingly.
It’s a perfect match for her outfit today!
Nini held her little chin and tightened her cute brow, so hesitant, “But this pair is Mommy’s favorite yeah … she said it was specially given to her by Uncle.”
“So ah …” Nabi also did not want to make things difficult for the child, so she put the earrings back, “then aunt pick another good!”
Nini thought for a moment and sent the pair of earrings to her aunt, “I’ll lend them to her!
Nabi raised her lips and smiled, reflecting a kiss on Nini’s cheek.
“Thanks Nini.” What a cute and generous kid.
Nini’s eyes squinted into a lovely crescent moon. Very beautiful …
“Dingdong …”
When the doorbell rang, Jerry Xiao was coming out of the bathroom. A fresh bathrobe, only casually draped over his body.
The sexy chest, which is hidden, has a kind of indescribable sexiness.
The headache, has been relieved a lot, along with the face has also become much better. Just, really hungry! Good thing, she’s back!
The corners of his lips lifted slightly, and stepped down to open the door.
“Where are the keys? You are not yourself …” words, unfinished.
The sudden appearance of a figure at the door caused his words to pause. His eyes floated slightly before he spoke, “Why are you here?”
Nabi Yan raised her eyes and smiled, “Who did just think I was? Is anyone coming?”
“No.” He turned sideways, looked at the thin clothes on her body and frowned slightly, “Come in first, it’s cold outside.”
Nabi rejoices in his concern for her continued presence and turns to go inside. Unobtrusively, she looked around, but fortunately there was no sign of Zoey, let alone the presence of her things.
Looking at him again, he also looked well and did not look like he was having an attack.
Could it be that one is overthinking?
“What are you looking at?” Jerry Xiao asked, noticing her small movements.
“It’s nothing.” Nabi smiled and shook her head, and then, gazing deeply at him, “It just feels like it’s been a long time since I’ve been here. It feels, well, a little strange.”
Her words caused Jerry Xiao to shoot a glance around with her, and then, with a deep-eyed glance at her, “Five years is such a long time, people change, not to mention the environment.”
Obviously, there’s something in the words.
Nabi Yan only felt astringent at the bottom of her heart, put down her handbag, stepped forward and gently hugged Jerry Xiao, burying her face deep in his arms, “Jerry, my heart has never changed.”
Her hug, with a warm temperature. His face eased a lot, hanging his head to look at the top of her head, eyes dark, faintly can see a few helpless, “But your identity, but changed …”
“I can regain my freedom anytime I want.” She replied sharply. The arms around him tightened a lot more, “Jerry, tell me, your heart, has it changed? Have you liked other women in these five years?”
No! Of course not!
These five years, met countless women, but really no longer any woman can move his heart.
What’s more, every time late at night, the three words ‘Nabi Yan’ will shake in his mind and make him want to stop. The company’s main business is to provide a wide range of products and services to its customers.
“Jerry, why don’t you answer me?” After a long time of not waiting for an answer, Nabi Yan anxiously looked up from his arms.
Jerry Xiao lowered his eyes to look at her face and was about to speak when he froze because of the earrings in her ears.
The earring she was wearing in her left ear was clearly the one he had lost!
“These earrings, where did you get them from?” Not answering her earlier question, but instead asked rhetorically. He moved his hand to ruffle her hair on the right side, and there, Hao Rang also had an identical one! This is a pair?
Moving his hand to take off the one in his left hand, with the word ‘Y’ engraved on it, he said, “This stud has always been in my collection, no one can take it away except Zoey Baker, but now, how come she is in your hands?”
Nabi Yan looked at him strangely.
His shocked look made Nabi Yan’s heart flood with questions.
Obviously, these earrings mean a lot to Jerry! And, Zoey treasures them to death!
Could it be that something different happened between them?
With that in mind, after Jerry Xiao asked another question like ‘where did it come from’, Nabi Yan replied, “It’s mine.”
“Yours?” Jerry Xiao looked at her in astonishment.
“Yes. Zoey had seen my other earrings at home and she knew how important they were to me. So when I saw this one here, I couldn’t resist bringing it back for me, just to make a pair.” Nabi took a chance.
Jerry Xiao clasped the stud, his eyes locked on her with a heavy gaze, and Nabi took the other stud off with some difficulty and put it in his hand, comparing the words ‘L’ and ‘Y’ clearly visible on the stud.
“Do you know what each of these two words stands for?”
Jerry Xiao looked at her incomprehensibly.
“‘X’ stands for ‘like,’ and ‘Y’ stands for ‘feather’ — that is, you.” Nabi took a long breath and gazed at Jerry Xiao with deep emotion, opening her arms to embrace his entire body, “Jerry, although we haven’t been together for these five years, I really never forgot you!”
“Nabi, that night five years ago, it was really you!” For a moment he thought it couldn’t be her, the impression was that the smell wasn’t hers at all.
But, he was drunk! And how can you identify a person by smell alone?
