Tang Yu raised her head as she looked at him in surprise. She did not expect him to be this direct.
“Yes.” She nodded.
The temperature in the surroundings suddenly dropped drastically. Tang Yu could feel the change in Song Huating’s mood. His deep eyes were almost frozen.
“When?”
“After you disappeared. About a month ago.”
The cold aura he had exerted seemed to have become colder.
Tang Yu looked at Song Huating’s ice-cold face, which had seemed to remain unchanged for tens of thousands of years, but now finally revealed a faint pained expression.
Was he sad? Tang Yu’s heart was filled with grief. She tried her best to restrain herself from thinking about him. What was he doing? He was the one who had left without saying goodbye back then. Why did he have this expression as if she was the one who hurt him?
She did not want to think about her past with him, nor did she want to have any entanglements with him. She liked Miles, and only wanted to be with Miles.
“I’ll leave Song Yi to you. If there’s nothing else, I’ll leave first.”
“Ms.Tang! Aren’t you being too cold? I heard that you two used to be schoolmates? Shouldn’t schoolmates catch up with each other when they meet? From now on, we’ll be living in San Francisco. We can help each other out…” Song Yi tried his best to liven up the atmosphere.
The more he watched, the more he felt that something was wrong.
Although he did not like his brother’s cold personality, he liked Ms.Tang very much. It would not be bad if she became his sister-in-law.
“Did you two break up?”
Neither of them answered.
“Why don’t we go to a coffee shop for a drink? I’m thirsty. Let’s go! Let’s go!” Song Yi held onto his brother with one hand and Tang Yu with the other.
Tang Yu and Song Huating fell into deep thought. There was indeed no need to act as if they were no longer friends. They could interact as friends, but they still didn’t know what to talk about.
The three of them sat down in a coffee shop. Song Huating knew what Tang Yu liked to drink, so he placed the order. “Three cups of mocha.”
Tang Yu heard this and quickly said, “Two cups will do. I don’t want it. I can’t drink coffee now.” She remembered that Miles had shown her a bunch of pregnancy instructions, and this was one of them.
Song Huating frowned slightly. “Get her a cup of hot water.”
Tang Yu kept telling herself to just act as a friend, but for some reason, she still had the urge to run away.
“I’ll leave after drinking a cup of water. I still have something to do tonight.” Tang Yu tried her best to look relaxed.
“How did you and your husband meet?”
“He’s a doctoral senior in our school,” Tang Yu said with a smile. “He’s a super genius. He’s very nice and talented.”
When Song Huating saw the smile on her face, his expression became even more depressed.
“Are you happy?”
“I’m very happy. He treats me very well. He’s meticulous and considerate. Otherwise, how could I have been attracted to him so quickly?” Tang Yu thought of Miles’ handsome face and tight, seductive muscles. Just the thought of him made her face reveal a gentle smile
“Will you still be in San Francisco?”
“I don’t know… My husband is the one who has the final say. I’ll follow him wherever he goes. Alright, I’ve finished my water. I’ll take my leave first. My husband is waiting for me at home. I can’t let him wait for too long.”
Song Yi clicked his tongue and said sourly, “Teacher, stop showing off. I’m getting tired.”
“Go home and reflect! And Song Huating, as his brother, you must discipline him well. Goodbye.”
Song Huating looked at her with a tense and stern expression. He had something to say, yet it couldn’t come out of his mouth.
Tang Yu was halfway out of the door before she recalled something. She turned around as she said in a bright smile, “I heard that you’re engaged. Congratulations.”
Song Huating’s heart tightened when he heard that. He had a complicated expression as he watched her leave. His hand slowly tightened as he hit the table.
Song Yi was shocked. “Brother, don’t be like this. I’m scared.”
Song Huating suddenly got up and chased after her. Song Yi wanted to take the opportunity to escape, but he did not want to miss out on a good show. He quickly followed his brother.
They followed Tang Yu from behind all the way to the subway that led to the city.
“Brother, aren’t we going home? Don’t tell me you still want to chase after her? It was clear what she said. It’s impossible for the two of you.”
Song Huating pursed his lips tightly as if he did not hear what his brother said. His expression was extremely serious, and his eyes were uncertain.
Tang Yu alighted from the train, and so did they.
She came out of the station alone and walked onto the empty street. They were separated by a block, and they followed her unhurriedly.
“If you just wanted to send her home, you should have said so earlier. Why are you so thick-skinned? Brother, I almost don’t recognize you.”
Song Huating covered his brother’s mouth as he squeezed out a few words between his teeth. “Someone is following her.”
Song Yi pried his hand away and looked at his older brother speechlessly. “Aren’t we the ones who are following her?!”
