Chapter 911: Chapter 908: Lovesickness
The albums Yan Bo sent over contained quite a few songs that Tong Xiaohua really liked. So, she simply took them to the car to listen to. Chauffeur Yang always listened to old revolutionary songs, so these slightly agitated rock tunes were a bit much for him to take.
"Miss, where did you find these CDs?"
"Yan Bo lent them to me. Take good care of them, and don’t let them get damaged!"
Although Tong Xiaohua wasn’t a fan herself, she knew that there were fanatics who would treasure their idols’ CDs and all related posters meticulously. Whether Yan Bo was such a fanatic or not, she didn’t know. But she would cherish his belongings, and that was for certain.
"Miss, don’t worry, I won’t just let anyone listen to them."
Chauffeur Yang was someone with discernment; he noticed that this Young Master Yan was very much favored by Miss and both her elder brother and sister-in-law. It could be possible that in the future, the Tong Family’s affairs might be managed by this Young Master—certainly not someone to offend.
Ever since Yan Bo had brought breakfast and CDs that day, several days had passed without Tong Xiaohua and Yan Bo meeting.
For one, Tong Xiaohua was busy, and besides, she needed to accompany her parents at home. But most importantly, Yan Bo had been away on a business trip since Tuesday afternoon and wasn’t returning until Friday night.
Having not seen him for several days, Tong Xiaohua really missed Yan Bo.
So, by Friday afternoon, she found her mind wandering throughout her class.
She kept wondering whether she should call Yan Bo later to ask about his exact return time and if it wasn’t too late, whether they should meet up?
In the afternoon class, which she happened to have with Zeng Xianghai and Xiao Mi, Tong Xiaohua sat between them. Zeng Xianghai was taking notes diligently, while Xiao Mi, after listening to the class for a while and seeing Tong Xiaohua absentminded, started poking her arm with a pen.
"Hey, what’s wrong with you? Did you have a fight with your boyfriend?"
Tong Xiaohua shook her head.
"Then why do you look half-dead?" Xiao Mi leaned in close, quietly scrutinizing her face.
"He’s gone on a business trip... for several days now..." Tong Xiaohua replied listlessly.
"Tsk, tsk, this dog food hit me when I least expected it!"
Xiao Mi humphed twice then turned her attention back to the blackboard.
However, the nature of gossip eventually overcame everything else; after a while, Xiao Mi poked Tong Xiaohua again, "What about the last time you met his brother? What happened with that?"
Tong Xiaohua was taken aback. She had been nervous about it for two days and then completely forgot.
It seemed she really was quite carefree!
"I don’t know. He didn’t say!" Tong Xiaohua shook her head, her hand clutching a pen and absentmindedly drawing circles on her notebook.
Xiao Mi rolled her eyes, "You’re not a fool. Can’t you feel whether his brother likes you or not?"
Talking about this made Tong Xiaohua’s heart flutter, so she drew even more circles until her vision blurred.
"I think his brother doesn’t mind me, probably even likes me a bit..."
Recalling the encounter, Tong Xiaohua thought of Yan Yuan who, despite being stern, had a genuine smile when looking at her. It wasn’t the kind of sly smile that disgusted people.
Yet, even so, she still felt that there must be something not quite right about herself, something that Yan Yuan could not accept.
Could it be because she was too young, and Yan Yuan thought she and Yan Bo were not reliable?
Could it be because of her family background that they didn’t like her? But that didn’t seem right either. At the time, Yan Yuan had been extremely respectful and polite to his own parents as well.
It could only be said that someone as deep and calculating as Yan Yuan was beyond Tong Xiaohua’s ability to see through.
"As long as you like him that’s good enough! Don’t overthink it, but even if they don’t like you, it’s no big deal. You’re going to live with your boyfriend, not his older brother, right?"
Xiao Mi’s words coincided with what Tong Xiaohua had been telling herself.
The talk with Xiao Mi stirred the waters of Tong Xiaohua’s heart. Although she claimed that matters of the heart were between two people, it was impossible for her not to care at all.
After school, she couldn’t resist any longer and dialed Yan Bo’s phone.
The phone rang twice before it was answered. Along with Yan Bo’s voice, the noisy sound of a bustling crowd came through.
"Xiao Hua, I’m passing through security now. I’m on the six o’clock flight back to L City."
Tong Xiaohua’s previously unsettled heart, perhaps due to his voice or the fact that he was coming back, suddenly felt grounded.
"What time will the flight arrive at L City? I’ll come to pick you up."
Tong Xiaohua, who had been sitting up straight in the car, now felt at ease, relaxed, and leaned back, sprawling on the back seat.
"No need, I can take a taxi home. Just stay at home and be well, I’ll come over to your house in the morning to meet up with everyone."
Yan Bo’s voice was very gentle but carried an undeniable firmness.
But who was Tong Xiaohua? Nobody could persuade her from what she had set her mind on.
As a result, the flight landed half an hour later than scheduled, and by the time Yan Bo collected his luggage and emerged from the gate, it was already past ten at night.
Not far away, someone was waving their hand, but Yan Bo automatically ignored it, his heart set on getting home quickly to take a shower and then call Tong Xiaohua.
Even if it was just to hear her voice, it was better than nothing and would temporarily soothe his yearning. A little longer, and he’d be able to see and touch her tomorrow!
"Hey, you person..." Yan Bo, speeding up with his luggage, almost couldn’t stop in time and bumped into someone who suddenly appeared in front of him.
Before he could finish his reproach, he felt a punch on his chest and a familiar voice drilled into his ears, "Yan Bo, are you blind?"
Yan Bo lowered his eyes to see the girl standing in his path, glaring at him in frustration – it was the person he had been longing for over the past couple of days. Who else could it be?
"Xiao Hua? How come you’re here?" Surprised and delighted at the sight of her, his hand acted before his brain, pulling her into a hug.
Tong Xiaohua, still huffy, looked up at him from his embrace and rolled her eyes again, "I came to pick you up. I’ve been waving until my hand’s about to break, and you didn’t even glance at me. Are you in that much of a hurry to be reincarnated or rushing to meet someone else?"
Tong Xiaohua was somewhat angry. She had rescheduled the majority of her plans with Uncle Ming just to see him sooner.
He said they would meet up early in the morning, but she couldn’t wait until tomorrow after enduring the past few days!
Yet he seemed different; he seemed to have something more important than meeting her. As soon as he came out of the gate, he walked briskly towards the exit, completely ignoring her—his girlfriend, who wanted to surprise him!
Yan Bo felt her chest rise and fall, and saw her pouting. Clearly, she was quite upset.
Bowing his head, he softly caressed her forehead and face with his lips, tenderly coaxing her.
"Sorry, I didn’t expect you’d come pick me up. Wasn’t I just rushing home to call you?"
