Chapter 128 Stop Being Reserved
Hearing Su Qiu say she was coming back on the phone, Shen Yi's fingers tightened almost imperceptibly around the phone.
The joy in my heart was like bubbles that couldn't be contained, rushing upwards one after another.
But when he spoke into the receiver, he only gave a faint reply, his tone so calm it was completely unwavering:
"Okay, be careful."
The moment he hung up the phone, his calm and composed facade crumbled.
He got up almost immediately, grabbed his coat from the back of the chair, and hurried out.
He didn't even hear Lin Wei's report clearly, only waved his hand vaguely, and strode towards the elevator.
Lin Wei stood there, stunned: Wait, your wife gave birth? Why the rush!
……
The car was speeding along.
When he stopped at the villa entrance, Shen Yi practically ran inside.
As soon as the entryway light came on, he stood there, stunned.
Should I take a shower first?
Should I change into some clean clothes?
The thought had barely crossed his mind when he shook his head violently to suppress it.
What are you thinking about?
What kind of bath?
Making it seem like you're so impatient, making yourself appear...
His cheeks flushed slightly, and he quickly shook his head to clear his mind of those chaotic thoughts.
Shen Yi sat down on the sofa, his back ramrod straight, trying his best to appear calm and collected.
But after sitting for only ten minutes, he couldn't help but look up at the door, then down at his watch, his brows furrowing slightly.
Why is time passing so slowly?
He changed his posture, tapping his fingertips lightly on his knee.
My gaze kept drifting towards the door, and the anxiety in my heart was like a lit fuse, slowly rising.
I knew perfectly well that she had just set off and that the journey wasn't short.
But I just couldn't control my anxiety, wishing I could hear the door lock turning in the next second.
After waiting a while longer, he simply stood up and paced back and forth in the living room.
His pace quickened unconsciously, like a beast trapped in a cage, filled with barely suppressed anticipation.
"Should we buy her a bouquet of flowers?"
Shen Yi unconsciously rubbed the edge of his phone with his fingertips, muttering to himself.
Then, as if he had made up his mind, he nodded.
When meeting your girlfriend, you should act like one.
He immediately dialed Lin Wei's number, his tone leaving no room for argument:
"Prepare 999 red roses, the largest bunch possible, and deliver them to the villa within two hours, the sooner the better."
Lin Wei on the other end of the phone was stunned.
He thought to himself, "Seriously, buddy, are you kidding me? You've got a ton of stuff going on at work and you're not going to do anything about it?"
Lin Wei dared not object and did as instructed.
After all, it was Shen Yi who paid the salary.
I didn't expect that just an hour had passed.
Lin Wei appeared at the door, panting heavily, carrying a bouquet of flowers. Shen Yi took the bouquet and said indifferently, "There's nothing more for you here. You can leave."
Lin Wei looked at the bouquet of bright red roses, then at Shen Yi's tense but flushed ears, and muttered to himself:
Su Qiu has only been gone a short time, and this guy has already changed his mind?
Should we secretly tattle on him and teach him a lesson?
The thought flashed through his mind, but in the end he didn't dare. Lin Wei turned around and muttered as he walked away.
Shen Yi carried the heavy bouquet into the bedroom and placed the flowers on the bedside table.
I gestured at the air several times, trying to practice my tone of voice.
But he swallowed the words back down his throat.
How can I say it without feeling awkward or forced?
Shen Yi looked at his ears, which were so red they looked like they were about to bleed, in the mirror and scratched his hair in frustration.
Why is it so difficult?
……
Su Qiu arrived faster than expected.
Suddenly, the familiar sound of a car engine came from outside.
Shen Yi's eyes lit up, and he practically sprang out.
The car had just stopped at the door when the door opened, and Su Qiu got out.
After a few days apart, she was wearing a neat black jacket and stood tall and straight.
Shen Yi sighed inwardly: Damn woman, how come you've become even more handsome?
Following Su Qiu down was a colossal creature.
A wolfhound with thick fur, sitting up to be half the height of an adult.
When the dog saw Shen Yi, it immediately bared its teeth and growled.
"Shut up, you little rascal." Su Qiu frowned, raised her hand and slapped the dog on the head, her voice carrying an unquestionable authority.
"This is your future master."
The big dog, called "the mistress," tilted its head as if it didn't quite understand.
He looked at Su Qiu first, then at Shen Yi, and the low growl in his throat gradually turned into a sob.
Shen Yi was startled by the dog's size and felt a little scared; it was even bigger than the one he had seen in the video.
But seeing Su Qiu's familiar figure, she still mustered up her courage and ran over, her voice carrying a hint of barely perceptible grievance:
"You're back."
Su Qiu smiled and opened her arms wide.
Without hesitation, Shen Yi rushed in, hugging her waist tightly. His nose brushed against the dusty smell on her jacket, and he asked in a muffled, arrogant voice:
"You damn woman, tell me, did you miss me?"
Su Qiu lowered her head, pinched his waist, and said with a smile, "I want to, I really want to."
The voice just fell.
She bent down decisively, picked up Shen Yi, and strode into the villa.
Behind him, the mistress wagged her tail and followed closely.
She would occasionally look up at Shen Yi, who was being carried on her shoulder, her eyes full of curiosity.
Shen Yi was carried on Su Qiu's shoulder, his cheek rubbing against the fabric of her back. He was both ashamed and angry, and he flailed his arms and legs.
"You bastard, put me down! What are you going to do?"
Su Qiu didn't stop walking, a mocking smile playing on her lips: "Nonsense, I want to *you."
"Woof!" The little dog at my feet suddenly barked, its tail wagging like a little motor.
Su Qiu glanced down at Xiao San and called out, "Go take a stroll in the yard and get familiar with the surroundings. Don't go too far."
The mistress seemed to understand, let out a sob, and ran to the yard, circling the flower bed.
Shen Yi, who was on his shoulder, struggled even more fiercely, his ears turning so red they looked like they could bleed.
"Put me down first, I can walk by myself!"
He didn't want to be seen in such an embarrassing manner.
Su Qiu's roguish grin, in particular, made him both angry and flustered.
The fist landed on Su Qiu's back, the force as light as a tickle.
They simply didn't dare to fight.
Su Qiu bounced her head back and forth. "I haven't seen you for days, and I'm starving. Aren't you hungry?"
Hey babe, stop being so reserved, hurry up and let's do *%&b&%.
Hearing those straightforward yet passionate words, Shen Yi's face flushed bright red.
The tremor spread from the base of the ears all the way down to the neck, even making the voice tremble:
"Su Qiu! Are you crazy?!"
In the struggle, his fist gently struck Su Qiu's back, but the force was as soft as cotton.
"Put me down right now! Shameless!!"
Su Qiu's laughter came from his chest, making his ears ring.
Instead of stopping, she deliberately swayed her shoulders, causing Shen Yi's body to bounce on her shoulders.
"I'm shameless! What, you're not happy about it?"
"You...I..."
Shen Yi was both angry and anxious, unable to say no, and a wave of shame washed over him.
Because Su Qiu is right, it's been several days since they last saw each other.
He missed her terribly.
Not just in my mind and heart, but also...
Shen Yi pouted, his voice soft and sweet, "You damn woman~"
