But in the end, He Xiu still caught up with her.
"Where are you going?" He Xiu blocked Da Zhuang's way.
Dazhuang felt inexplicably uneasy.
"Where I go is none of your business. It's my own affair."
"Who said that?" He Xiu still wouldn't move aside. "If you don't tell me where you're going, I'll keep following you."
"Are you crazy?!" Dazhuang exclaimed, his eyes wide. "Are you that free? Don't you have to go to work?"
He Xiu smiled and said, "I don't have to go to work today."
Da Zhuang paused, glanced at the clothes He Xiu was wearing, and realized they were indeed ordinary clothes, not the white coat from the hospital.
"It's your business if you don't have to go to work, it has nothing to do with me. I have other things to do, so don't bother me anymore."
Dazhuang was thinking about Xia Ran; he had just contacted that classmate.
They're waiting for him at home right now.
"No, I told you, I won't let you pass unless you tell me what you're going to do."
"Are you sick in the head?" Dazhuang snapped. "If you're mentally ill, go get treatment. Don't come here and bother other people. It's really annoying!"
“He has a disease, and it’s the kind that only you can cure.” He Xiu looked directly into Da Zhuang’s eyes.
His words were even more sarcastic, and Da Zhuang's face turned red and green in turns. In the end, he decided to ignore He Xiu and walked straight ahead.
He must have lost his mind. He clearly knows that He Xiu has ulterior motives towards his butt, yet he still wants to talk to He Xiu!
He Xiu didn't say anything, and simply followed Da Zhuang out, showing an attitude that he would follow Da Zhuang wherever he went.
It wasn't until Dazhuang hailed a taxi and he got in that Dazhuang yelled at him again.
"What are you doing! I flagged down the car first! If you want a ride, can't you flag down another one? Don't you know about first come, first served?"
He Xiu looked innocent. "I didn't mean to steal your car. I just wanted to ride with you. I told you, if you hadn't said anything, I would have followed you wherever you went. I'm not joking anymore."
"You!" Da Zhuang was furious and tried to open the door to get out of the car again, but to his surprise, the door wouldn't open.
"Driver, could you please open the door? I need to get off."
Driver: "Young man, couples always make up before they get out of bed. I think your husband already knows he was wrong, so give him a chance. You can talk about it when you get home. I'll take you home first."
"No, uncle, you...you've misunderstood! I don't know him, and we're not..." Da Zhuang tried to explain, but the driver interrupted him before he could finish.
"Hey, you don't need to explain, I understand. You young people like to stand up for yourself and think that the other party has to give in before you can make up. Or maybe you've been watching too many novels and TV shows online."
Dazhuang: "No, Uncle..."
He Xiu suppressed a laugh and said, "That's true, Uncle. You're right. We young people are all like that. We definitely shouldn't read too many novels or watch too much TV in the future."
"He Xiu!" Da Zhuang exclaimed, calling out He Xiu's name.
Upon hearing this, the driver quickly spoke up again.
"Look, you still say it's a misunderstanding? If you really didn't know them, how would you know their name?"
"..." Da Zhuang was speechless.
He Xiu's eyes crinkled with laughter as he stood to the side. If he weren't afraid that Da Zhuang would really get angry, he would have burst out laughing.
The driver was completely oblivious to the strange behavior between the two and kept talking.
"Actually, the feelings between people are all different. Just like drinking water, only the person drinking knows whether it is hot or cold. It's okay for two people to admit defeat a little when they are together. If they keep being stubborn, they might break up in the end."
“The uncle meets all sorts of different people every day and has seen a lot of people. He has seen many people who lost their loved ones because of their strong will, and then they regretted it.”
The older man talked a lot about ways and principles for couples to get along, and Dazhuang went from being angry at the beginning to being indifferent, or rather, resigned, letting the older man continue.
The main problem is that he has no choice but to accept his fate. Every time he tries to speak, the uncle always manages to shut him up, making it impossible for him to continue.
When they finally arrived at their destination, Dazhuang was completely numb. He didn't even care when He Xiu offered to pay.
Since He Xiu has already ridden in this car, it doesn't seem unreasonable to let him pay.
He Xiu directly took out two hundred-yuan bills and gave them to the driver, saying,
"Uncle, thank you, you don't need to look anymore."
"That won't do," the man tried to refuse. "One hundred is already a lot. Wait a minute, I'll give you your change."
He Xiu: "No need, Uncle. Good things come in pairs. My partner isn't waiting for me, so I'll be going now."
He Xiu caught a glimpse of Da Zhuang about to enter the residential area, and he quickly followed.
The uncle wanted to say something, but He Xiu had already turned and left, so he could only accept the money.
Looking at the money in his hand, he smiled, and a moment later his phone rang.
When he saw who was calling, a hint of tenderness appeared in his eyes.
"Hey, honey, I just met a very interesting couple of guests. I'll tell you the details when we get back. Oh, and they even gave me two hundred yuan, saying that good things come in pairs. I'll buy you your favorite roast goose when we get back."
"Okay, okay, drive carefully." The voice coming from the phone was clearly that of a man.
"I just wanted to call and let you know that I'm having dinner at my parents' house tonight, so you should leave work early."
"Okay, honey! I'll be home early and on time!"
The driver hung up the phone, humming a tune, and happily went to pick up his next passenger.
His wife is so nice; the first thing she said when she called was to remind him to drive safely, instead of telling him to go to his parents' house for dinner.
Chapter 310 I'm Chasing You
He Xiu caught up with Da Zhuang, who was furious and gritted his teeth.
"Dr. He! What exactly do you want? I'm going to find my friend now! Can you please stop following me? Haven't you caused enough trouble yet?"
He Xiu wasn't angry, he just said,
"Don't get angry, getting angry is bad for your health."
"What exactly do you want? He Xiu, I'm not in the mood to play with you!" Da Zhuang stopped in his tracks, intending to figure out what He Xiu was up to.
"I didn't intend to do anything, I just like you and want to be with you."
He Xiu's words came out without thinking, but his tone was very serious, completely different from his joking manner just now.
He Xiu went back and thought about it for a long time. He felt that his relationship with Da Zhuang could not remain stagnant, so he had to take action.
Da Zhuang was startled by He Xiu's words and was so stunned that he didn't know what to say.
"I'm serious, I'm not kidding. You're single too, so how about we give it a try?"
He Xiu took another step closer, and the two were now very close.
At the entrance of the bustling residential area, the two attracted the attention of many people. Hearing the whispers around them, Dazhuang's face suddenly turned red.
"Shut up! Don't get so close! If you get any closer, don't blame me for being rude!"
After saying that, Dazhuang turned and walked inside. His steps seemed somewhat disordered and tense.
He Xiu sighed helplessly and could only chase after them.
Da Zhuang's heart was pounding. He felt that something was not right, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.
So he forgot about why He Xiu was following him until they got into the elevator.
There were only the two of them in the elevator. This big guy, who was nearly 1.8 meters tall, somehow ended up standing in the corner, looking rather small.
He Xiu was both amused and exasperated. Had he really scared Da Zhuang?
But if he were frightened, Dazhuang wouldn't react like that. Observing Dazhuang's eyes, he saw that he was more shy.
A hint of a smile appeared in his eyes as he moved closer to Dazhuang and said...
"Don't worry, I just want to make my feelings clear to you. In other words, I'm just pursuing you, so you don't need to be afraid."
These words caused Dazhuang's face to flush red again, and he stammered,
"Shut up! Don't say another word! If you keep talking nonsense, don't blame me for being rude!"
"But everything I said is true." He Xiu said innocently.
The college student took a deep breath and said, "You're a grown man! Stop pretending to be innocent! Stop acting all cutesy!"
Moreover, his heart beats even faster when He Xiu acts coquettishly.
He Xiu's expression froze for a moment. He was about to say that he hadn't been acting cute when the elevator arrived.
As soon as Dazhuang saw the elevator doors open, he rushed out.
He Xiu originally thought Da Zhuang was going to run away, but to his surprise, Da Zhuang stopped.
As he walked over, he saw Dazhuang looking distressed.
"What's wrong?"
Dazhuang looked up and glared at He Xiu, saying in a vicious tone,
"It's all your fault! If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have forgotten to buy a gift!"
After yelling, Da Zhuang turned around and entered the elevator again, and He Xiu followed him in with a smirk.
Da Zhuang didn't know whether it was because he compromised or because he understood that no matter what he did, he couldn't let He Xiu leave, so he simply let He Xiu follow behind him.
Sensing Dazhuang's thoughts, He Xiu's smile deepened.
Sure enough, it wasn't his imagination; Dazhuang wasn't indifferent to him either.
If Dazhuang didn't have feelings for him, he wouldn't have taken him back to the hotel so late.
There was a supermarket in the neighborhood. He Xiu originally thought that Da Zhuang wanted to buy something like fruit, but Da Zhuang went straight to the counter and ordered.
"Hello, do you deliver here? I mean to B2101."
"OK."
"Okay, give me two cases of Lao Tan pickled cabbage instant noodles, two cases of Coke, a case of potato chips, and a case of your most expensive instant coffee."
When He Xiu heard what Da Zhuang had ordered, his brows furrowed immediately. He reached out and pulled Da Zhuang over, asking,
"Aren't you going to visit friends and relatives? Why are you buying all this junk food? You should buy some fruit baskets and milk."
