Chapter 172: Chapter 172: A Letter Chapter 172: Chapter 172: A Letter He Xiuyu stared intently at Qiao Qingyu, noticing the bright sparkle in her eyes, and he couldn’t help but speculate what was written on the letter she had just received.
He didn’t ask, because Qiao Qingyu didn’t ntion it.
As night fell, Shen Haoze and Su Yunyao were also due to head ho.
Su Yunyao, who felt she had seen through so real aspect of Qiao Qingyu, stared at her with a condescending gaze as if looking at an ant.
There was even an extre suppressed loathing.
Qiao Qingyu, seemingly oblivious, smiled warmly at her as if they were best friends, to which Su Yunyao responded with a forced smile, unexpectedly saying, “Qiao Qingyu, the tomatoes you grew are really sweet and delicious.”
“It’s the thod Uncle taught , and it seems it was indeed correct.”
Then, sowhat regrettably she added, “But the ripe ones were all eaten today. Otherwise, you two could have taken so back with you.”
Shen Haoze quickly waved his hands, “It’s not right to eat and then take as well, this is already so kind of you. I didn’t expect your cooking skills to be so good, Comrade Qiao Qingyu.”
He had long lost his old prejudices when talking to Qiao Qingyu.
Any fool could see that He Xiuyu and Qiao Qingyu got along very well.
It would be stupid and distasteful to persist here.
“In the future, you should take the chance to co over to our place,” Qiao Qingyu said with a smile.
“That’s for sure, as long as I have ti,” Shen Haoze hurriedly replied, then pretending not to see He Xiuyu’s frown. But it was indeed ti for them to leave, Rongrong was already getting sleepy.
Shen Haoze and Su Yunyao leisurely walked toward the front door.
Qiao Qingyu tugged on He Xiuyu’s hand which was hanging by his side.
Though she said nothing, He Xiuyu understood.
He spoke, “Rongrong is falling asleep, I’ll take her into the house first, Qiao Qingyu, can you see them out…”
Shen Haoze interrupted with a smile, “We are not outsiders, no need for formalities, just go attend to your matters.”
His words were sincere, yet Qiao Qingyu couldn’t take them literally. She followed behind the two while He Xiuyu carried He Xuerong into the house, and Xiao Hu also rubbed his eyes; his mother was working a double shift today, and his aunt hadn’t co back from school, so he was staying at Aunt Qiao’s today.
But he was happy about it.
Xiao Hu followed He Xiuyu into the house excitedly.
Shen Haoze stood at the front door and, as usual, stretched out his hand to pull the door, but unexpectedly, a letter stuck in the door gap fell to the ground.
It landed right at Shen Haoze’s feet.
Shen Haoze was briefly stunned, but quickly picked up the letter, only glancing at it before his expression changed drastically.
What kind of expression was it?
Qiao Qingyu, who was following behind, saw it clearly. Was it jealousy?
It had to be admitted, Shen Haoze treated Su Yunyao very well.
Even during als, he often took care of her, and Su Yunyao and Shen Haoze appeared very affectionate.
At this mont, Shen Haoze stared at Su Yunyao, glaring intensely with suppressed fury in his eyes, but soon his face darkened, and with a snap, he threw the letter into Su Yunyao’s arms, his voice cold as he said, “Seems like your love letters have even reached He Xiuyu’s house. You really are relentless…”
Su Yunyao furrowed her brows, for she still hadn’t understood what had happened.
She puzzledly lowered her head to look at the letter.
Written in English on the envelope was—”Dear Comrade Su Yunyao.”
Underneath it was signed, “A person who has silently loved you for two years!”
Su Yunyao, holding the letter in her hand, started heading for the door because Shen Haoze had already angrily walked ahead.
Although Su Yunyao disdained such a love letter, she also couldn’t just randomly throw it on the ground, so she placed the letter in the shoulder bag she was carrying.
And at this ti, her mind was already checking through who it could be.
There indeed were many young n at the base who liked Su Yunyao, be it because of her looks, family background, or other qualifications, she had consistently been among the top girls at the base and naturally had many admirers.
To her, this was only normal.
After all, the two of them had co together, and she shouted annoyingly from behind, “Shen Haoze, what’s wrong with you, why are you walking so fast, wait for …”
Shen Haoze’s face darkened and his hands were stuffed in his pockets as he stood at the crossroads ahead, looking far away at Su Yunyao, who was approaching out of breath, and turned his head away without looking at her again.
The approaching Su Yunyao said resentfully, “What’s with that face you’re making?”
Shen Haoze exhaled, and after a mont, adjusted his emotions, his voice again beca calm, sowhat awkwardly he said, “I’m sorry, seeing the words written on the envelope made upset.”
“It’s just a letter, I’ve received plenty since I was young, do you need to be this anxious?”
Shen Haoze was silent for a mont, his eyes losing their anger, he stepped forward first, and then the two of them walked together towards their dormitory direction.
Qiao Qingyu saw Su Yunyao put the letter into her shoulder bag, a faint smile spread across her lips, and a mont later, she also turned around, then closed the door of her house, only to see He Xiuyu standing under the grape trellis.
At this mont, this handso man had a gentle gaze, carrying a slight smile.
He Xiuyu pulled Qiao Qingyu into the study, then shut the door.
It felt sowhat sneaky.
Qiao Qingyu bit her lip, looking up at He Xiuyu.
And He Xiuyu was also looking down at Qiao Qingyu, their eyes t, and Qiao Qingyu, in this mont of understanding, quickly explained, “Don’t worry, I won’t do anything illegal or undisciplined.”
Qiao Qingyu was naturally confident in this regard; she herself liked to stand on the moral high ground to judge others, so how would she allow herself to be in a perilous position?
At this ti, Shen Haoze and Su Yunyao had also arrived at the staff dormitories, which consisted of three buildings, housing the single male and female employees of Tenghai Research Base and the married employees who had not yet been assigned a house.
Shen Haoze looked at Su Yunyao’s shoulder bag, his gaze darkened, yet he still spoke gently, “You’ve had a long day, get so good rest.”
Although Su Yunyao did not pay much attention, every woman has a bit of vanity.
She really wanted to find a place where no one was around, to take a good look at the letter, and then figure out who this person was, before deciding how to reject him.
Anyway, Su Yunyao wasn’t interested in anyone except He Xiuyu!
She absentmindedly waved at Shen Haoze, then quickly walked towards the dormitory main entrance, Shen Haoze watched Su Yunyao’s figure disappear behind the door, and stood there for a long while before turning to head back to his own staff dormitory.
Su Yunyao still lived alone, and after she entered the room, she locked the door from the inside, she had patience and after washing up, she curiously opened the letter…
