Chapter 147: The reborn of paranoid boss cannon fodder wife
Chapter 147: Because I miss you
Xiao Wei picked up the phone, and finally realized that the number he remembered was not his brother's.
Reluctant, he had no choice but to put the phone back.
Bai Lu looked at the small figure frozen in place with a smile, drinking her soup.
"Ding Ling Ling!"
Puff—
A second before the soup sprayed out, Bai Lu covered her mouth and swallowed it back, her face turning red.
Who else could be calling back at this time?
Who else knew the home phone number?
Except for Xiao Cheng!!!
Xiao Wei finally picked up the phone, only to have his hand snatched away by a hand suddenly reaching over from above. Another hand landed on his back collar, lifting him swiftly to the corner.
Immediately after, a clear and melodious voice from the girl, who had finally recovered from her coughing fit, echoed in the main room.
"Ah Cheng."
"Where's Bai Lu?"
Two voices sounded simultaneously.
Both sides of the call were stunned for a moment.
Every time Xiao Cheng called back, it was always Xiao Wei who answered, and he would habitually ask for Bai Lu.
Bai Lu, on the other hand, was too nervous, too anxious, and didn't want to give Xiao Wei a chance to report indiscriminately. So, when she spoke, she subconsciously shouted the words "Ah Cheng."
Now, the phone fell silent for a while.
Silent to the point that no one knew what to say to salvage the awkward atmosphere that had suddenly warmed up at noon today after being cold since yesterday noon.
After a moment of silence.
"Big Brother!"
Hastily hurried footsteps came from behind.
Bai Lu immediately took the lead in speaking, "Have you eaten?"
The man on the other end of the phone replied, "I have."
Bai Lu pressed down Xiao Wei's head, preventing him from coming over to grab the phone. The consequence of finding words to talk about when there was nothing to say, which had troubled them since yesterday noon, was about to happen again at noon today: "Did you drink too much yesterday?"
A voice with an ambiguous meaning came from the handset, "Why do you think I drank too much?"
Bai Lu felt that things must be said and explained clearly. There was no need to engage in guesswork and misunderstandings. If you don't ask, I won't say, and in the end, it will lead to a melodramatic misunderstanding.
So, she spoke frankly, "Because you were in a bad mood, and you wouldn't act like that before drinking. Your temper has become more and more unpredictable recently, and it's even a bit irritable. Can't you feel it? I don't know why you are like this, but I hope you can tell us if something is bothering you. Let's be open and honest with each other. Don't get angry without any reason, like a three-year-old who's drunk."
Her tone was not aggressive, her voice still gentle and graceful, soothing the restless emotions.
There was silence on the phone for a while, as if contemplating. After a half-sigh, a serious reply finally came from Xiao Cheng, "I didn't drink."
"Then why are you so temperamental?"
"Because I miss you."
"Snap—"
Bai Lu stared blankly at her empty hand, looking at the handset that had fallen on the landline phone.
Finally, she looked at the little figure next to her, who had also frozen in place.
"It fell by itself."
"I didn't hang up."
Xiao Wei wanted to say, but he was also very shocked.
The last time he said, "Wait for me to come back," he thought it was his brother's most straightforward way of expressing missing someone. Unexpectedly, today's big brother was more direct, directly saying, "I miss you."
It shattered all his understanding. From childhood to adulthood, he had never heard his big brother say that he missed someone.
Absolutely not!
Xiao Wei remembered it very clearly.
The only time was just now when he said he missed Bai Lu. Unfortunately, this was the only time.
Because Bai Lu was frightened.
She couldn't even hold the phone steady and hung up.
Looking at Bai Lu's expression now, it was like the first time she saw the black tiles and bricks falling down from the roof, smashing a big hole in the pot, and the flames rushing up from the bottom of the pot.
Shocked, the whole person was dumbfounded.
Although very sympathetic, Xiao Wei felt that his big brother was even more pitiful: "If you have something bothering you, tell big brother. But big brother just said it, and you hung up."
"I really didn't do it on purpose..."
Bai Lu's hand, which had been in a daze for a long time, finally regained its vitality, quickly and accurately pressing the redial button.
