Stand-in Relationship - Chap 23
Xu Chengyan looked at the phone, still felt a little lost.
Mr. is accompanying the young master again.
Xu Chengyan stayed alone on the terrace for a long time. After a long time, it was windy and raining outside, so he got up and went back to his room.
It’s already past eleven o’clock in the evening, but Mr. still hasn’t come back. He probably won’t come back.
Xu Chengyan sat on the bed with his mobile phone, flipped through tomorrow’s flight schedule, and bought a ticket to other provinces at noon tomorrow.
After buying the ticket, Xu Chengyan clicked on Mr.’s chat dialog box, thought about it, and sent a message over——
[Sir, the wontons are in the refrigerator, and auntie will come over to cook these days. 】
[The potted plants on the balcony are best watered once every three days. If the weather is good, you can move them outside in the sun. It doesn’t matter if the husband forgets, the auntie will also help to take care of it. 】
【It will cool down in the last few days, sir, pay attention to your body. 】
After the message was sent, Xu Chengyan waited for a while, but still didn’t get a reply, so he put the phone aside and didn’t look at it again.
When Xu Chengyan woke up the next morning, the seat beside him was still empty.
Mr. didn’t come back all night.
After Xu Chengyan washed up and changed his clothes, he called Mr.
After the call was connected, Xu Chengyan asked, “Sir, will you be back tonight?”
“I’m sorry, He Yang has something to do, wait a moment.” A somewhat familiar male voice came from the other end of the phone, “He Yang, the phone—”
Xu Chengyan held the phone and heard the voice of the young master.
And there was a rustling sound on the other end of the phone, and after a while, He Yang’s voice came.
“What’s up?”
Xu Chengyan asked, “Sir, will you be back tonight?”
He Yang said lightly, “I won’t come back.”
Xu Chengyan held the phone tightly and couldn’t help but ask, “Do you want to accompany Shen Xiuzhu, sir?”
He Yang: “Well, accompany him to the hospital for a checkup.”
“I see.” Xu Chengyan responded and said, “Sir, I will go out in the afternoon, I’m not sure when I will be back.”
“It’s up to you.” He Yang didn’t take it to heart.
Xu Chengyan wanted to say something more, but the phone had been hung up.
On the other side, after He Yang hung up the phone, he put the phone aside and took the water glass and poured a cup of hot water.
Shen Xiuzhu saw it, walked over, and asked softly, “Is there something important?”
“If you have something to do, just go do it first.” Shen Xiuzhu smiled shyly, “It doesn’t matter if I am alone.”
“It’s not an important matter.” He Yang said lightly, and just handed over the cold medicine and the water cup, “Take the medicine first, and then go to the hospital later.”
Shen Xiuzhu obediently took the cup and prepared to take the medicine.
The water glass was still steaming, and Shen Xiuzhu was wearing glasses again, and a layer of fog instantly formed on the lenses.
He Yang stretched out his hand and skillfully helped Shen Xiuzhu take off his glasses, took out a piece of paper from the side, and wiped it on the lenses.
Shen Xiuzhu finished drinking the hot water, leaned against the table, and quietly watched He Yang wipe the lenses.
After cleaning the glasses, Shen Xiuzhu leaned over very naturally and asked He Yang to help him put on the glasses.
The actions between the two are very familiar, as if they have done it countless times.
After that, He Yang accompanied Shen Xiuzhu to the hospital for a re-examination and stayed by Shen Xiuzhu’s side.
By the time He Yang returned to the apartment, it was already evening.
The curtains in the living room were drawn tightly, and the lights were not turned on in the room, it was pitch black.
Go to the bedroom, He Yang turned on the light, but did not see a familiar figure in the bedroom, Xu Chengyan was not at home.
There was one less person in the apartment, and it instantly became a little deserted.
But He Yang only thought that Xu Chengyan didn’t come back because there was a class in the afternoon, so he didn’t care much.
Until it was dark outside, Xu Chengyan hadn’t come back, and he didn’t send any news.
He Yang sat on the bed, still took the phone and called Xu Chengyan.
“Yanyan.” He Yang asked, “Still outside?”
“Hmm.” The other end of the phone answered.
He Yang asked, “Where are you? I’ll ask the driver to pick you up.”
“No need.” Xu Chengyan said, “Sir, I’m in Anshi.”
Anshi is in the next province, He Yang suddenly asked, “Why did you suddenly run over there?”
Xu Chengyan explained: “I told Mr. last time that I want to rest for a while, so I will go out for a walk.”
He Yang also remembered the time when Xu Chengyan told him he want to rest.
He Yang asked: “When will you be back?”
The other end of the phone was silent for a while before replying, “I don’t know.”
It wasn’t until then that He Yang noticed something was wrong and asked, “Yanyan, what happened?”
There was no sound from the other end of the phone, it was quiet.
He Yang asked, “Why did you suddenly run out without saying a word?”
“Sorry, sir.” Xu Chengyan held the phone, stayed in the hotel room alone, looking at the night view outside the window, and said slowly, “I still can’t accept that Mr. treats another person so well.”
He Yang frowned slightly, “Yanyan, don’t make trouble.”
“Sir, I’m not making trouble.” Xu Chengyan lowered his head and said softly, “Why does Mister think I’m making trouble every time?”
He’s had enough of that.
“Sir, maybe we all need a little time to calm down.” Xu Chengyan suppressed his emotions, his eyes were slightly red, “It’s best to stay away for a while.”
He Yang listened to the voice on the other end of the phone, the expression on his face became cold, “I said, he is my friend.”
“Sir, there are many kinds of friends…” Xu Chengyan’s voice choked.
“He has a heart condition and cannot be stimulated.” He Yang rubbed his eyebrows, “Someone needs to take care of him.”
“How long will the gentleman take care of him?” Xu Chengyan’s tone became a little excited, “One year? Two years? Or twenty or thirty years?”
“Xu Chengyan!”
Xu Chengyan closed his eyes, took a deep breath, slowed down a bit, and finally said, “Sir, I don’t want to talk about him anymore.”
“Xu Chengyan, What do you promise me five years ago?” He Yang’s tone became a little heavier, “I regret it now, why are you angry?!”
Xu Chengyan lowered his eyes.
Five years ago, he promised his husband that he could not be named.
He also promised Mr. that he would be very obedient and obedient, and he would obey Mr.
“But five years ago, Mr. didn’t say that you wanted me to be a substitute.” Xu Chengyan said slowly, “It was Mr. who lied to me.”
“I can’t accept his existence, and I don’t want to be his stand-in.”
“Sir, I just need a little time to calm down.”
After speaking, the phone fell silent, and no one spoke again.
After a long time, He Yang said coldly, “Then don’t come back.”
He Yang hung up the phone.
