The lunch unexpectedly tasted good, and even Jiang Hua couldn't help but add an extra bowl of rice.
After eating, Meng Chu went to the director. Because she had an appointment with a doctor in another hospital to remove the stitches the next morning, she planned to go back to Beijing in the afternoon.
The three commercial vehicles were usually parked not far from the entrance of the village. Zhou Ningjiao used them. The director agreed and asked someone to call the driver to take her back. On the way, they would stay in Beijing for one night and take her back tomorrow.
Who knew that before she could pack up, Feng Shan walked in from the outside, "Xiao Meng, just now they said that the director was at the gate and asked you to come over there."
Meng Chu didn't think much and walked straight out the door.
Just as she stepped out of the high threshold, the shallow smile on the girl's face suddenly froze and disappeared in the next second.
She held on to the door frame to stabilize her shaky body.
She panicked for a few seconds, trying her best to hide the urge to turn around and walk away.
It was indeed the director who was looking for her, the filming crew and the logistics team were not there.
It would have been fine if the director did not have that person by his side.
Seeing her dazedly standing there, the director waved to her enthusiastically, "Meng Chu, come here."
Meng Chu lowered her eyes, avoiding the man's gaze, but she couldn't pretend that nothing happened, she paced slowly and walked up to the two of them.
As soon as she approached, the director hurriedly stepped aside. "Meng Chu, Professor Chen came to pick you up on purpose. You guys can talk, I still have something to do."
The director actually made room for the two of them.
Chen Shuguan watched her for a while, his scent made her breathless, the girl took a half step back, her feet twirling nervously on the slate floor.
He actually chuckled softly and said: "Meng Chu, you look a little fatter."
He hasn't seen her for more than ten days. She seems to be in much better condition, her chin has grown a little bit, and she is completely different from the depressed person at that time, lacking vitality.
Meng Chu didn't want to see him, especially after she almost confirmed the man's mind, she couldn't agree with him, she didn't know how he could be twisted to such a degree.
He didn't seem to care, and only said: "Chuchu, I'll pick you up, you should remove the stitches tomorrow."
Meng Chu's reaction was as expected by the man.
But she left before he finished.
The girl stood there and raised her head, separated by a distance of nearly one meter, as if she was looking at him seriously for the first time.
Next to this blue-brick, white-walled, and black-tiled building in the middle of the mountain, a narrow stream runs along the wall in front of the door.
Neither of them made a sound, except for the sound of the stream flowing by.
She looked at him silently like this, and asked for a long time, "Chen Shuguan, do you want me?"
She didn't mean to just take a break, but she didn't want to use the words "like" or "love".
Chen Shuguan should have understood.
He pursed his lips, and there was a trace of bitterness on his face. He didn't evade, but nodded directly, "Yes, but Chuchu doesn't want to, right?"
Meng Chu suddenly laughed, and Chen Shuguan couldn't help but look at her with stunned eyes. The frantic heartbeat told him that if she was willing to face him like this, he... But he saw that smile fade away a little, her eyelashes fluttered, and tears rolled from her eyes.
He didn't stretch out his hand, letting the drop instantly fall on the slated floor.
"Yeah, I don't want to. I don't want to be entangled with you in my life. Chen Shuguan, what are you going to do, break my leg again?"
Meng Chu didn't show any joy or anger on his face. She spoke calmly as if she was talking about something unrelated to her.
"No."
As soon as the man said these two words, the girl turned around and left.
But he continued behind him, "Chuchu, I'll take you to remove the stitches and help you with the most annoying thing right now, okay?"
Meng Chu turned her head to look at him in surprise, with disbelief clearly written in her eyes, and then it changed in an instant.
She should have thought of it earlier.
Her strange reactions, inexplicable longings, all stemmed from the day she woke up from his bed.
