Wearing this thing is to prevent Luo Suyun from recognizing . Of course, at this mont, Chu Ge couldn't let Chu Shiyao touch his mask. He quickly stepped back two steps, shook his head, and said, "Yaoyao, it's really nothing serious, it'll be fine in a mont. Actually, this isn't the first ti, I know my situation well, let's eat."
Seeing Chu Ge so insistent, and with Shu Lulu and Luo Suyun present, although Chu Shiyao was quite worried, it wasn't appropriate to say more. She hesitated for a mont and then sat down beside the dining table.
After saying this to Chu Shiyao, Chu Ge turned to look at Luo Suyun and called out, "Sister Luo, stop being so polite. Co sit here, hehe, please sit."
Looking at those eyes that seed so familiar to her, Luo Suyun picked up the gift box in her hand and walked over to Chu Ge.
"Mr. Chu, you helped my daughter so much, yet we've never co to pay our respects before. This is my little token of appreciation, I hope you like it. I didn't know you were eating so early, sorry for the disturbance, I'll leave now."
Chu Ge took the gift box and politely said, "Thank you, Sister Luo, but since you're here, stay for a al before you go, really no bother at all."
At this mont, Shu Lulu imdiately chid in, "Yeah, yeah, mom, sit down. Uncle's cooking is super delicious, and he's the nicest, he won't mind."
Saying this, Shu Lulu had already sat beside the dining table and looked at Chu Ge with a smile, asking, "Uncle, am I right? You surely won't mind, right?"
Looking at Shu Lulu, Chu Ge felt utterly speechless inside, even the corners of his mouth under the mask twitched. In his mind, he was eager for Luo Suyun to leave quickly. Wasn't he just making a polite remark? But this girl wasn't polite at all.
However, at this mont, he couldn't say anything else, so he nodded with a smile and said, "Yes, Sister Luo, don't be so polite, sit down."
Luo Suyun hesitated for a mont, then finally sat down opposite Chu Ge, smiling apologetically, "Well... then I won't feel embarrassed. Next ti, I'll invite you for a al."
Chu Ge gave a bitter smile inside but had no choice. He sat down next to Chu Shiyao, facing the mother-daughter duo, eating as awkwardly as possible.
With each bite, he had to lift his mask slightly with his left hand, carefully making sure it wouldn't fall off, exposing his face to Luo Suyun. This wasn't eating a al; it was pure torture.
Suddenly, as the saying goes, when it rains, it pours. As the four of them ate, a mosquito, coming from who knows where, started buzzing around and landed on the side of his face.
Chu Ge at this mont just hoped to finish the al quickly to send Luo Suyun and Shu Lulu off, completely absent-minded. It wasn't until the mosquito was about to suck blood that he noticed this unexpected guest.
"Uncle, don't move!"
He hadn't noticed the mosquito, but Shu Lulu saw it clearly and suddenly called out. Before Chu Ge could react, she swiftly reached out and waved her hand in his direction.
Shu Lulu's intention was to drive away the annoying mosquito, and she succeeded. However, as the mosquito was swatted away, her fingertip also brushed against the slick plastic bag on Chu Ge's mask.
With Shu Lulu's small hand touching it, the makeshift mask, which wasn't secured well to begin with, fell off all at once.
Involuntarily, Chu Ge inwardly exclaid bad luck. He had just wanted to put the mask back on when he suddenly heard a low exclamation full of astonishnt.
"You... you?"
The thing Chu Ge hoped wouldn't happen, happened after all. Luo Suyun happened to raise her head at this mont, her gaze fell on his face, and she was completely stunned, her exquisite features filled with shock.
"Huh? Uncle, there are no rashes on your face?" Shu Lulu's gaze also landed on Chu Ge's face at this mont, without noticing her mother's strange expression, and she asked curiously.
"Uh... really? There was one just now? I guess it really isn't a problem, it disappeared so quickly."
With the corner of his eye glancing at Luo Suyun's extrely shocked face, Chu Ge simply kept bitterly smiling in his heart, but outwardly he turned to Shu Lulu, touched his now exposed face, and pretended to be nonchalant.
Chu Shiyao looked at Chu Ge's face and also breathed a sigh of relief, suddenly noticing Luo Suyun's unusually shocked expression. She couldn't help but ask with concern, "Aunty Yun, what's wrong with you?"
"Ah... ah? I'm fine, it's just... just that Mr. Chu looks so much like an old friend of mine, I mistook him for a mont just now."
Hearing Chu Shiyao's voice, Luo Suyun finally ca back to her senses, forced a strained smile, and said with an incredibly complicated mood.
Looking at Luo Suyun, Chu Ge felt a bit of sweat on his forehead, gave a guilty smile, only feeling grateful to heavens, not caring about what would happen next, but at least Luo Suyun hadn't strongly reacted to make this awkward situation even more awkward.
Luo Suyun and Chu Ge exchanged a glance, and everything she hadn't understood before beca clear.
No wonder that night when she received a call from her daughter, his reaction was so huge, as if he was startled by sothing... no, it wasn't as if, he was indeed shocked, greatly shocked.
No wonder he looked as if he'd seen a ghost when he saw at the airport that day, instantly jerking, almost dropping his phone.
No wonder he's always said it's inconvenient to et , no wonder he ca out wearing such a strange mask, not daring to face with his real appearance...
No wonder! No wonder!
Upon figuring all this out, Luo Suyun's mood didn't beco relieved; instead, it beca even more complicated.
How could there be such coincidental things in the world?
Turns out the person who helped my daughter and the one who saved are actually the sa person.
My daughter seems to really like this man, and as for ...
This... this is too confusing, isn't it? Oh my god! What is this?
While Luo Suyun was filled with anxiety, not knowing how to face Chu Ge and her daughter, Shu Lulu took a bite of food, turned her head, and asked curiously, "Huh? Mom, how co I didn't know you had an old friend who looks like an uncle? Who is he?"
Hearing the sudden voice by her ear and feeling her daughter's puzzled gaze, Luo Suyun panicked, her expression imdiately becoming quite conflicted, "That... um... you... you don't know him."
Seeing the changes in her mother's expression, Shu Lulu giggled, patted Luo Suyun's shoulder, and mischievously grinned, "Mom, why do I feel like you're acting weird? Do you have so kind of story with that old friend? Why not tell ?"
As they say, the speaker ant no harm, but the listener took it to heart. Hearing these words, both Chu Ge and Luo Suyun broke into a cold sweat simultaneously. Damn, talk about bringing up the most inconvenient thing to discuss.
However, although Chu Ge was sweating internally, he couldn't say anything now, so he just buried his head in his al, hoping Luo Suyun would quickly change the subject.
"You little girl, can't even eat without talking, is this a question a daughter should ask her mother?"
Luo Suyun glared at her daughter, but the corner of her eye was watching Chu Ge, understanding dawning on her yet leading to deeper conflict.
"Oh co on, Mom, we're not strangers. Besides, Yaoyao and Uncle aren't outsiders either. Just having a al is boring. Won't you tell us?"
This wasn't the first ti Shu Lulu was joking with her mother like this, and she had no intention of letting her go. She shook Luo Suyun's arm, continuing to question her with a sweet smile.
Looking at her daughter, Luo Suyun initially wanted to change the topic, but seeing Chu Ge just focused on eating, besides feeling awkward, she felt a touch of resentnt and anger.
This heartless guy, he didn't even leave a phone number that day, just left like that, and he actually kept this matter from her until now, which was really too much.
Thinking like this, Luo Suyun tidied a strand of her rose-colored hair in front of her forehead, pursed her lips, and almost as if driven by so mysterious force said, "Well, okay, there's indeed a bit of a story with that guy who looks like your uncle."
"Wow, there really is a story! Mom, go on, I love hearing this kind of thing."
Shu Lulu's eyes lit up, and she couldn't even bother with her al anymore, putting down her chopsticks, all ears for the story.
Although Chu Shiyao didn't say anything, being a woman, she was also quite interested in gossip of this nature, looking at Luo Suyun with her ears perked up.
As for Chu Ge, at this ti, his heart was racing. What on earth was Luo Suyun trying to do? Surely she wouldn't play him like this in front of her daughter?
Under the eager and gossip-filled gazes of Shu Lulu and Chu Shiyao, and Chu Ge's utter speechlessness, Luo Suyun gave Chu Ge a aningful look, gently parted her lips, and began speaking softly.
"It was a dark and windy night, and I was walking ho alone. The streetlamps swayed, the night breeze was slightly chilly, and there were only a few people on the road."
Chu Ge sweated, sweat like a waterfall. This opening was obviously the scene from their first encounter, was she really going to tell this story?
And... did she have to look so dreamy and make it sound so evocative?
Unlike the awkwardness and distress in Chu Ge's heart, both Shu Lulu and Chu Shiyao were evidently attracted by Luo Suyun's words, having stopped eating to look at her in concentration.
"Just then, a van appeared like a ghost in the night, stopping abruptly beside . Imdiately, three n with fiendish appearances and an air of rage suddenly jumped out..."
No matter how conflicted Chu Ge felt, Luo Suyun's voice continued slowly, as if she was imrsed in the mories of that day.
Listening to Luo Suyun's soft voice and feeling her occasional glances, Chu Ge felt a chill running up his spine, but at that mont, a foot under the table started to move slowly towards him.
