How to trap a beautiful wife

Back in the room, Chu Ci ran to the suitcase and found the medicine bottle, poured out a piece, and swallowed it without even thinking about drinking water.

He sat on the floor with his back against the bed, buried his head deeply between his knees, and waited for the string of sharp noises in his ears to disappear before moving.

Outside, it was getting dark.

The phone rang, it was the ticket information sent by Gu Qi'an, and he flew early the next morning.

Gu Qi'an: [It's exactly noon when I arrive in Chicago, I'll pick you up. 】

Chu Ci typed slowly: [No, I'll just take a taxi. 】;

After replying to the message, he threw the phone aside, took a deep breath, got up from the ground and began to pack his luggage.

There is not much luggage, and it will be done in less than 10 minutes. He made the bed, put away the teacups, notes, and phone book on the table, and arranged the clothes hangers in the closet in the same direction. I also dragged it again, and when I really had nothing to do, I sat by the computer and started to edit the film.

He forced himself not to be idle, and filled his brain with scattered things, filling his brain to the brim, but he still couldn't control some thoughts slipping through the cracks.

What does Chen Xun's last question mean?

Why is he asking that?

Chen Xun seemed to have said something, but unfortunately he didn't hear it.

It's not that he didn't have expectations in his heart, but meeting Chen Xun again was already an unexpected surprise, and he didn't dare to expect too much.

After tossing and turning all night, he checked out of the room early the next morning, and on the way to the airport by taxi, he received a call from the agency.

The agent's voice sounded extremely excited: "Mr. Chu, great news. Someone wants to buy your house and agrees to pay in full. I'm drafting the contract now, so hurry up and sign it."

This is indeed great news.Chu Ci hurriedly asked the driver to turn around first, and then asked the agency: "Where is the contract?"

The agent said: "The buyer proposed to meet at the cafe at the north gate of S University, and I will send you the location later."

Hearing that it was this place, the smile on Chu Ci's face fell, and at the same time, his heart sank suddenly.

Half an hour later, the taxi stopped in front of the cafe.Chu Ci stood at the door and saw on the glass door that the business hours were from 10:22 to 9:[-], but it was only [-]:[-] now.

Is the door open yet?

He dragged the box and walked over, pushed the glass door open with a slight push, and a string of wind chimes sounded above his head.

There was no one in the cafe, and only one light in the middle was turned on, making it a bit dim.

Did he go to the wrong place?not here?

Chu Ci stood the box at the door, took out his mobile phone and was about to call the agent when he suddenly caught a glimpse of a person standing behind the bar.

The light was dim, and the distance was far away. He couldn't see the man's face clearly, but only vaguely saw the man raised his head.

Their gazes intersected in mid-air, and the man asked, "What would you like to drink?"

Chu Ci froze for a moment.

Why is Chen Xun here?

"Is American style okay?" Before waiting for an answer, Chen Xun continued to ask, this time directly giving a choice.

Chu Ci pursed his lower lip, walked over and stood in front of the bar, and found that Chen Xun was wearing an apron, his shirt sleeves rolled up, and was skillfully brewing coffee.

The furnishings here are exactly the same as in memory, the people are exactly the same, and the dialogue is also exactly the same.

In an instant, Chu Ci seemed to break into another time and space.

He saw himself sitting by the window, with his chin tilted and his head tilted, looking in the direction of the bar, drowsy from the summer afternoon sun.Whenever Chen Xun behind the bar sneaked a look at him in his busy schedule, he would sit up a little bit and exchange a tacit look with each other.

"Okay." Chen Xun put a cup of coffee in front of Chu Ci, wiped his hands, "Let's find a place to sit."

Chu Ci wanted to ask Chen Xun what was going on, but he held back when he saw the toffee on the white porcelain plate.He picked up the coffee and saw a coat draped over the chair by the window. He guessed it was Chen Xun's, so he walked over and hesitated when he saw a "Reserved" sign on the table.

"sit down."

Chen Xun took off his apron and followed, holding coffee in one hand and what seemed to be a document in the other.

Chu Ci sat down, and only after he sat down did he realize that this seat was the one he used to sit on.

Chu Ci put the coffee on the table, and didn't want to drink it at first, until Chen Xun said, "It's low-cause, it won't affect your sleep, let's have a sip."

I don't know if it was an illusion, but he actually heard the coaxing tone in this sentence.

Chu Ci suppressed the soreness in his heart, peeled off the toffee and put it in his mouth, then took a sip of coffee.

The sweetness of the toffee dilutes the bitterness of the coffee and relieves the dryness of the throat just right. Chu Ci said, "Why are you here?"

Chen Xun also picked up his coffee and took a sip. Instead of answering Chu Ci's question, he turned his head to look out of the window, turned back after a while, and answered something irrelevant: "I asked the boss to lend me this place for an hour."

Chu Ci was a little surprised: "Is it still the original boss?"

"Yes."

Chu Ci remembered that the boss was a fat middle-aged man, who was very welcome to him, a guest who came to accompany his boyfriend to work, and often gave him cakes.

But he was afraid of affecting Chen Xun, so he insisted on paying every time.

Smelling the aroma of coffee, Chu Ci smiled.

It turns out that mentioning the past is not as bitter as imagined.

Chen Xun had never talked much, and Chu Ci also put aside the purpose of coming here for the time being, letting himself enjoy this dreamlike time.

From his angle, he could just see the north gate of S University. In the bleak winter, all the ginkgo leaves had fallen, and there were two student couples hugging vigorously at the school gate.

Chu Ci was fascinated. He didn't look back until a bus passed by and blocked his sight. Only then did he realize that Chen Xun was looking at him for an unknown amount of time.

Unconsciously, Chu Ci blinked slightly.

His eyes are beautiful, always like a puddle of water, and his focused and affectionate look can easily make the person who looks at him fall.

Chen Xun lowered his eyes, picked up the cup, paused for two seconds in mid-air, and then put it down again.He suddenly asked: "You haven't answered my question yesterday."

The voice is gentle, but with a hint of irrefutable.

Chu Ci spent some time recalling what happened yesterday, remembering that he suddenly had ringing in his ears yesterday, and completely lost hearing in his left ear again, and ran out of the car in a hurry before he could answer Chen Xun's question.

It's really... so embarrassing.

Chu Ci thought, is his answer so important?

He stirred the coffee with a small silver spoon, creating a vortex, and watched the vortex disappear before raising his head.

Chen Xun didn't urge him, but just looked at him deeply.

"No." Chu Ci finally told the truth, "I don't have anyone to associate with."

Not all the time.

These words are spoken in my heart.

Chu Ci felt that he was delusional again, otherwise, how could he feel that Chen Xun was relieved.

Chen Xun glanced at him again, put the document he was holding on the table, and unfolded it.

It is a purchase contract in duplicate.

Chen Xun nodded his chin, signaling Chu Ci to open it.Chu Ci didn't move, but his heartbeat accelerated uncontrollably, hitting his chest.

Chen Xun stared at him for two seconds, and didn't want to make a detour, and went straight to the point: "I know that you are going to sell the house when you return to China. I can buy it, and I agree to pay according to your conditions. The full amount will be paid immediately after signing the contract." .I have already signed the agreement."

After a pause, he said, "But I have one condition."

Chu Ci listened quietly, even a little distracted.The overlapping of Chen Xun's voice and his memory reminded him of many things.

After a long time, he raised his head and looked at Chen Xun with calm eyes: "What conditions?"

Chen Xun's Adam's apple slipped, his gaze was fixed on him, and he slowly uttered four words: "Marry me."

Reserved for whom?
