Chapter 500 What is he?
Chapter 500 What is he?
His voice was cold and without any emotion.
Anjiu put down the bowl and chopsticks, "After eating, I will clean up, you go and rest."
Pu Huai looked at her coldly.
"Okay, I don't have to do anything, you do everything."
"..."
Anjiu suddenly figured out why he was angry.
"When did you go outside?"
She was watching the whole time and didn't see Pu Huai go out.
"I don't have to do anything. I have to report to you where I go. What am I? Your pet?"
The more Pu Huai spoke, the uglier his expression became.
He took a deep breath to calm himself down, stopped looking at Anjiu, and picked up the dishes to wash.
Anjiu knew that he was really angry.
This was the first time she saw Pu Huai angry, just because she didn't call him when installing the window...
Pu Huai put the washed dishes back to their original places, hung up the pots and rags, turned off the stove, then washed his hands and sat on the double inflatable mattress in the rest area.
When Anjiu was hesitating whether to go over, he raised his eyes and looked over.
"Let's talk."
"……it is good."
An Jiu sat beside him and took the initiative to explain: "You didn't sleep well all night, grandma and I wanted you to have a good rest, and it's not a difficult thing, there's no need to wake you up."
"I hope you call me." Pu Huai looked at her seriously. What made An Jiu feel uneasy was that he looked a little sad.
This discovery made Anjiu a little overwhelmed.
"It's not a big deal..."
"No," Pu Huai interrupted her, turning his head to hide his eyes that revealed his emotions, "I know you very well. I know that what you said just now was just to comfort me. You didn't even think of looking for me at that time. You... just didn't want to rely on me."
"…Sorry, I'm just used to it."
"That's why I asked you, what am I to you?"
He drank the wine and remained silent.
Whether she admits it or not, she subconsciously believes that it is safest to rely on herself for everything.
So whenever she encounters anything, she would try to do it herself first, and then think of other ways if it doesn't work.
"It's not that you don't want to rely on me, but rather that you don't trust me. You think there's a possibility that I might hurt you one day."
Pu Huai frowned slightly, his eyes a little dim.
He admired Anjiu's self-reliance and appreciated her independence and strength.
From Anjiu's point of view, this is completely fine. He just... not often... occasionally wonders if he is not that important in her heart?
Why do you never ask him to help with household chores?
Rather than saying that Anjiu was worried that he would betray her, it would be more accurate to say that he felt more insecure.
Where can he go if he leaves the space?
Who else can see him and hear his voice?
The longest time he had ever spent in the mine was a week, and when the eighth day came, his toes were gone.
If he wanted to recover, he would have to eat twice as many crystals as usual, and he couldn't maintain that. As long as he slowed down his eating speed, the tip of his toe would slowly evaporate again.
This phenomenon did not disappear until he entered the space.
He didn't understand why.
But at that time he didn't think it was a big problem because Anjiu was worthy of his trust.
After several attempts, he came to a new conclusion.
——If you stay in the mine and have enough crystals with you, you can extend the time it takes to return to space.
But in general, it is more free to follow Anjiu.
He knew clearly that when the living environment is harsh, it is several times more difficult for women to survive than for men.
This is not Anjiu's fault, it's caused by the environment.
His requirements are not high. He just hopes that he can do it when some hard work is needed.
The more you use it, the smoother it becomes. Maybe you will find it very convenient to use after using it for a while?
Pu Huai's fingers were stuck in the gap of the air mattress. He pressed against the cushion, feeling every move of the person next to him.
In the Beehive Building, there are very few people who can express their feelings openly. Everyone's emotions are restrained. Over time, it has become a habit for no one to speak and everyone relies on guessing.
Maybe others are struggling to survive and don’t have time to think so much, but he has a full stomach and has more ideas than others.
When faced with the same thing and with the people he cares about, he doesn't want to guess and chooses to speak directly, expressing openly what he cares about.
——Although he may not express himself clearly yet, once he opens his mouth, it will get better and better.
——No, there won’t be a next time.
At this moment, Pu Huai keenly felt the air mattress under his palm bounce.
He suddenly became nervous.
It wasn't until Anjiu came close to him and took his hand that he felt like a taut string had been plucked.
With a clang, all the nerves began to vibrate violently.
Anjiu's tone was sincere and full of apology.
"I understand your thoughts. This incident was indeed my negligence. There won't be a next time."
It was a simple sentence, but Pu Huai felt as if a heavy burden in his heart had been lifted.
He forced a straight face and asked, "Who do you think I am?"
Anjiu considered his words carefully: "Boyfriend?"
boom--
Pu Huai's ears turned red as if they were on fire.
He pretended to be calm, "Am I worthy of trust?"
Anjiu raised three fingers, "Except for grandma, you are the person I trust the most!"
"Great, that's what a boyfriend is for."
"Forehead……"
Why did it come back again?
"Working?"
Pu Huai: “…” That’s not wrong.
An Jiu reached out and pulled his face, asking him to turn around. "Why don't you look at me when you talk - your face is so hot."
"I'm angry."
Pu Huai took her hand and held it in his palm.
"But the corners of your mouth are turning up."
"intrinsic."
"Then your eyes... I understand."
Pu Huai could no longer bear her gaze, so he pressed her into his arms, holding her tightly with his arms.
The voice was low and hoarse: "...Then don't say it."
"Oh."
An Jiu found that Pu Huai was easy to coax. Although he pretended to be complaining that An Chuangcheng didn't call him, he actually just felt insecure.
Perhaps what she and grandma thought was letting Pu Huai have a good rest was not the case for Pu Huai.
He needs to contribute his own strength to the family to prove that he is needed.
For example, standing guard outside all night long, and installing the windows today, it was obvious that he would be faster and more comfortable than Anjiu and grandma.
There are one old and one young in this family, but they are the ones who take on any problem. As an adult male, Pu Huai feels that he is very bad both physically and mentally.
It was really unfair and disrespectful to him.
That’s all for this time, and try to avoid the same thing happening again.
I also have to tell grandma that sometimes Pu Huai should not be polite when doing the work that he should do. We are all family and everyone has to contribute to the family.
Anjiu found a comfortable position and told him in detail what happened during the day.
Grandma came back quietly out of sight of them, but when they saw the two of them communicating with each other, she disappeared even faster than when she came.
