But Tan Jiao hesitated and gently poked my back. Cheng Baozhu mustve fallen head over heels for Zheng Zhiwei for so reason. Sotis, what a woman wants is not a man's idea of being respectful.
Even though it was only a poke, I felt as if her soft touch had gone through my back and straight to my heart. Yet, she was already in front of with her hands behind her back as she said, Lets go then, Ah Yu.
She seed sowhat happy, walking leisurely on our way back. Her expression looked calm as if she had not said anything just now.
I, on the other hand, still felt a weak, restless voice constantly urging .
When we got back to the garden, we saw Feng Yan sitting alone there, enjoying so tea. She was wearing a thick, white downed jacket and a black dress. She greeted us with a smile.
She invited the two of us to tea. I must admit that a warm cup of tea in the cold truly ward and cald my heart. I had always respected Professor Cheng and his wife. As such, I was determined to save them from the fire.
Wheres the professor? Tan Jiao asked.
With a smile, Feng Yan replied, Probably in his reading room. We sotis dont see each other for the whole day.
How is Ruyings cold? I asked out of courtesy.
Shes much better now. She always catches a cold, so dont be too worried.
At that mont, so noise ca from the front of the garden. They were from the workers that we saw yesterday. Feng Yan stood up and told us, I need to attend to them. You guys carry on.
Then one of the workers called out, Miss Cheng, weve co to work.
Feng Yan walked over, greeting them with a smile as she asked, Have you two eaten lunch?
Not yet, Miss Cheng.
In that case, Ill go cook up so of the dumplings we made this morning. You guys can start working, Ill bring you the food later.
Thank you, Miss Cheng, the two said simultaneously.
The two workers took a few glances at us before going to the other side of the garden to work.
Your professor and his wife respect each other a lot. I havent seen them talking once today.
I did not think there was anything strange about this. The professor was conservative, a workaholic. Naturally, he would not be too close to his wife. As such, I thought that their relationship seed normal. However, later events would prove that won are sotis more sensitive about these things compared to n. Especially a woman like Tan Jiao who liked to co up with pretty far-fetched theories about things.
At that mont, Tan Jiaos phone rang. It was the phone that I got her from the village. She seed surprised. Zhuang Yu, why are you calling ? I thought you were already leaving?
She got up and walked away. Perhaps the conversation with Zhuang Yu was private. Keeping my distance, I followed her. When she stopped by so bushes, I took out a cigarette and waited for her.
The two talked for quite so ti. The volu was low, so I could not hear anything. Initially, Tan Jiao would take glances at from ti to ti. Later on, she turned her back to .
After finishing three cigarettes, her conversation with Zhuang Yu finally ended. Yet, she stood there without moving.
Whats the matter? I ca to her after putting out the cigarette.
Tan Jiao turned to with a smile, but her eyes looked watery. Zhuang Yu said shes worried about , so she decided to co after getting back ho.
