Chapter 527: Backing off
Chapter 527: Backing off
In the bathroom on the first floor of the villa in Blue Lake Bay, Xu Zhishan was very conflicted and didn't know how to deal with the feelings that had been hidden in her heart for a long time.
She didn't know what Su Chenyi thought of her. After all, Su Chenyi had never had a deep conversation with her, nor had he ever really revealed his true thoughts.
She knew that she had to be the active one in this secret love, but it was difficult for her to take the first step towards Su Chenyi.
After all, when she was a child, Xu Zhishan followed Su Chenyi every day, hoping to express her love so that her cold brother would like her.
But what she got later was Su Chenyi's harsh attitude and bad words, which made her think that Su Chenyi hated her.
Before, when she was sticking to Su Chenyi, Su Chenyi's impatient and indifferent expression had always been deeply remembered by her.
Whenever Xu Zhishan decided to confess her love or boldly pursue Su Chenyi, Su Chenyi's annoyed expression would appear in front of her.
This made her back out immediately, and the idea that had finally come to her mind was extinguished.
This is also one of the important reasons why she sometimes dares to tease Su Chenyi boldly, and sometimes hides in regret and fear and dares not see Su Chenyi.
Even after so many years, the relationship between Xu Zhishan and Su Chenyi has become quite good, and is no longer as distant and indifferent as it was at the beginning.
But she was still afraid that she might displease Su Chenyi again, and was very afraid that Su Chenyi would look at her with that hurtful expression again one day.
"Crash..."
The sound of the shower in the bathroom lasted for an unknown amount of time, and Xu Zhishan didn't know how long she held her breath.
After a while, Xu Zhishan's body protection mechanism finally made her remember that she had forgotten to breathe.
Then she suddenly opened her mouth, eager to take in air quickly.
"Puha! Haho! Cough cough cough..."
As a result, she was choked by the water and started coughing violently.
Xu Zhishan was originally leaning back to be showered with water, with her eyes closed. Now she was choked by the water and could only step back with her eyes closed.
At this moment, she was unable to open her eyes immediately, and the continuous backward steps made her back lean directly against the frosted tempered glass door separating the bathtub area.
Xu Zhishan's peach-like buttocks first hit the frosted tempered glass.
"Bang!"
Then her back leaned forward, making a muffled sound that was neither loud nor soft.
The next second, there was a "click" sound coming from the other side of the frosted glass, as if something was falling.
Xu Zhishan heard the sound and realized that she might have bumped into the glass door, causing the bath products leaning against the glass side to fall.
But she didn't hear any sound of anything falling, so she thought maybe she just knocked something over.
So, after Xu Zhishan took a breath, she reached out to feel for the towel rack high up on the side.
After a while, she successfully touched the towel, quickly pulled off a milky blue towel, and wiped the water off her face.
When she wiped the water off her face, the tears from her eyes that had been flowing with the water seemed to be wiped away as well.
Xu Zhishan didn't move immediately. Feeling a little tired, she just leaned quietly against the frosted glass door.
She held the towel in both hands and placed the hands holding the towel on her chest, covering her chest which was heaving up and down due to the feeling of suffocation just now.
She slowly opened her slightly stinging eyes and looked up at the ceiling. She seemed to be in a daze with nothing on her mind, but in fact her mind was a mess.
At this time, what Xu Zhishan didn't know was that there was someone in the villa who saw all her emotions.
And the feelings that she had been hiding were inadvertently exposed to that man tonight, making it impossible for him to hide.
At this time, the atmosphere on the second-floor terrace was much more cheerful, unlike the dull and melancholy atmosphere of the bathroom on the first floor.
Xiao Zhuo and Xiao Xiao were still enjoying their meal. Ou Junli was curious about Li Chuyue, so she took the time to ask Li Chuyue some questions while eating.
Ou Jinghuan always stays silently by Li Chuyue's side. The fragrant barbecue cannot attract him. Only Li Chuyue can capture his heart.
Sometimes he took out his mobile phone to check important messages, and sometimes he tasted fine wine. It seemed that only Li Chuyue existed in his eyes, and he was watching Li Chuyue as if no one else was around.
Tang Hezi and Liu Cuirong heard interesting stories from Chen Yaxin. They were already very full and had no intention of sitting there eating and drinking for the rest of the day.
So, being conscientious and responsible, they decided to get up and help their busy colleagues to bake the next batch of food.
Seeing this, Li Chuyue asked Tang Hezi and Liu Cuirong to tell the busy service staff that they could take a break, and even let all the staff present enjoy the food together.
Upon hearing this, all the people who were working diligently on the scene smiled happily, delighted by the boss's generosity.
Afterwards, under the persuasion of Tang Hezi and Liu Cuirong, the service staff who dared not take a break picked up the barbecue they had wanted to eat for a long time and started eating happily.
For a moment, the cheerful atmosphere on the second-floor terrace reached a new level. Everyone present was in a good mood and there was constant laughter and joy.
At this time, Li Chuyue looked at Chen Yaxin who was about to sit down. Seeing Chen Yaxin's worried look, she asked:
"Yaxin, what's going on? Is he okay?"
Ou Junli, who was sitting next to Li Chuyue, also turned to look at Chen Yaxin, as if she wanted to know what was going on.
When Chen Yaxin heard Li Chuyue talking to her, she stood up again when she was about to sit down.
She walked directly between Li Chuyue and Ou Junli, sat down in the empty seat, then shook her head and said:
"I just took the forehead thermometer Junjun put down and took a test. My fever hasn't subsided yet...
He seems very uncomfortable even when he's asleep. Maybe he just took the medicine a while ago, so he needs to wait a while for the fever to go down."
It turned out that Chen Yaxin had just gone downstairs to the first floor to check on Han Yangxu who was sleeping, and took Han Yangxu's temperature again.
