Worriedly, Ai Zhiyi wondered whether Chu Weixu heard everything or not. It was the first thing that came to his mind after he heard Chu Weixu's words.
However, besides that, he also believed that Chu Weixu didn't completely overhear his conversation with Qing Hua. By his reaction, he believed that Chu Weixu woke up when Qing Hua and he were arguing about something that made him jealous. The jealousy wasn't because he saw both of them kissing, but how they talked about something that he tried to complain about.
Because Chu Weixu was a person who couldn't be candid about his jealousy, he could only babble on like a kid who had just snatched his candy.
Thinking of that, Ai Zhiyi slightly felt relieved. The thought finally calmed him down. He thought that at least Chu Weixu didn't hear their conversation about how he was being mocked when Chu Weixu was in prison for three years and didn't see both of them kissing. It would be quite hard for him to explain everything.
It wasn't that Ai Zhiyi distrusted him, it's just that he worried about their relationship in the future.
Nor did he mean to not tell him, but during these two years, he just had not been able to find the right time to explain everything.
After a moment of silence, Chu Weixu finally was heard sighing heavily as he slowly let his hand off Ai Zhiyi's body.
"I'm going to rest." He turned around, stepping towards their bedroom.
However, before Chu Weixu opened the door, Ai Zhiyi exclaimed, offering the cake he had just served to Chu Weixu, "You don't want to eat this cake first? I'll make a cup of tea for you."
Ai Zhiyi looked at Chu Weixu's back with eyes full of hope. He hoped that Chu Weixu would turn around and show a smile that could make him feel convinced that Chu Weixu wasn't indignant with him. At least, as Ai Zhiyi saw his smiling face even though it was deceitful, he would feel more relaxed.
But, the response was the one that made his heart feel like it was being pricked with a dagger. Chu Weixu didn't even turn his head to look at him and opened the bedroom door right away, closing it loudly without a word. It broke his heart at the same time.
Ai Zhiyi felt pain in the part of his heart that was hurt out of Chu Weixu's attitude. His weak eyes slowly dropped to the floor, and his head carefully moved toward the cake on the dining table. He smiled bitterly at his fragile feelings, but he couldn't cry because his heart had already done it.
It was bad. Yet today he intended to tell Chu Weixu that he would go back to Guangzhou to visit his mother who was currently sick. However, their situation didn't allow him to say that. If he persisted in saying it, then their situation would get worse, so he thought of telling Chu Weixu while he was in a good mood.
Holding back the bitterness in his heart, Ai Zhiyi cleaned up their slightly messy kitchen and placed the cake in the larder. But, accidentally he saw some medicine that Chu Xinian had given him this afternoon in a brown cake parcel. He immediately carried them into their bedroom and put them in a drawer.
Closing the drawer, he could faintly hear the sound of water pouring behind the bathroom door. He glanced sideways at the bathroom door and saw a light under the slit of the door. He smiled weakly. Then, he sat on the bedside, staring at the black screen of his cell phone before finally receiving an incoming message.
Ai Zhiyi frowned. He tapped the message to read it.
"Brother Ai, Sister Nian said that you want to go back to the village with me. She just told me tonight."
Ai Zhiyi replied by confirming it, and then a reply came within two seconds of pressing the 'send' button with his thumb.
"Great! Since my exams are over this week, we can go next week!"
After reading the second message, the next message came in shortly thereafter.
"Brother Ai, I'll notify you soon. Also, sorry that I couldn't come to help Brother Chu serve guests today. I had to focus on my exam earlier. If my grades are bad on the exam in this class, then I'll end up at the university. But, don't worry, tomorrow I'll come to help."
Ai Zhiyi smiled faintly when he read Wen Qi's short message which he thought was too much but still made him feel absurd after reading it.
He turned off his cell phone and put it on the bedside table. As soon as he was about to stand up to change his clothes, Chu Weixu also came out of the bathroom just wearing a towel that covered his lower body.
Ai Zhiyi's face was immediately burning as if blood was running down his face and gathered at one point. He blushed like a fresh apple that had just been picked.
Even though he had always seen Chu Weixu's half-naked body many times, the pose still always made him blush like two people who had just gotten married.
Since long ago, Chu Weixu had an ideal body. As Chu Weixu was a former member of the basketball team at their school in High School back then, his body, which was half-head of Ai Zhiyi's height, gave Chu Weixu an incredible allure that made women unable to take their eyes off him. Ai Zhiyi had thought that Chu Weixu's good-looking face rivaled the world's most handsome god.
However, because of that, Ai Zhiyi had been worried. He used to be distressed. Because many women were trying to get close to Chu Weixu, he was afraid that his man would turn away from him. But, over the years, time had answered his fear that he was convinced that Chu Weixu would never do such a thing.
Ai Zhiyi slightly lowered his head, pretending to unbutton his shirt while walking towards the wardrobe without saying anything, passing through Chu Weixu who was currently drying his wet hair with a towel.
However, even though Ai Zhiyi's attitude seemed indifferent, he felt his heart blush when he saw Chu Weixu coming out with such an appearance, thus Ai Zhiyi lowered his head on purpose just because he wanted to hide his blushing face.
Ai Zhiyi opened the wardrobe and took out his pajama tucked between several folds of clothes. He didn't wear it immediately but put it on the bed. He took his dirty clothes into the bathroom and put them in the basket.
After that, he turned on the water tap and stood under the shower, enjoying the warm water that fell, running down to every part of his slender body.
A few moments later, he turned off the tap and remembered that he had forgotten to bring a towel. As he didn't want to come out naked, he shouted to ask Chu Weixu to bring a towel for him.
"Weixu, can you bring a towel for me? I forgot to bring it here."
