A man’s feelings towards you are often very clear to a woman.
Just like Autumn Wind chose to follow Qiu Mowen without hesitation at that time, and later chose Liu Jian to heal her wounds. Without the other person's response, how could Autumn Wind have done those things!
You may not know if you truly like him, but you can clearly feel that man’s love for you...
Li Gu's feelings towards her, Autumn Wind is very clear about...
Huang Zihe handed over Li Gu's diary to her, and Autumn Wind naturally knew the contents inside.
"Give it to me? Why?" Autumn Wind did not take the diary but instead feigned surprise, even though she knew this was hypocritical.
"Just take a look!" Huang Zihe almost shoved the book into Autumn Wind's hands. Before she could react, he had already opened the diary to a labeled page.
Furrowing her brows, as if reading a will, she slowly lowered her head. After seeing the words on the page, Autumn Wind's hand couldn't help but start shaking. She knew she could no longer pretend to be oblivious because that page only had two lines: No matter whether you know or not, I just want to tell you, Autumn Wind, I love you...
The signature was Li Gu.
Suddenly closing the diary, Autumn Wind jumped up from the sofa. Her pupils dilated, yet there was no spirit in her eyes.
Her throat trembled for a moment before she managed to utter a few shaky words, "Is he... is he okay in there?"
How is he? You can ask him yourself when you get the chance!
Huang Zihe also stood up from the sofa. He pressed his face against Autumn Wind's and took the diary back, placing it in a black bag. "This is for you to read slowly..."
He pulled Autumn Wind's trembling hand and stuffed the bag into her grasp.
Autumn Wind's hand had no warmth; as soon as Huang Zihe touched it, he instinctively recoiled as if electrocuted.
Was she scared? Or was it guilt? Huang Zihe stared at Autumn Wind, observing her pale face and speculating about her thoughts. Was it regret? He really wanted to reach out and grip her slender neck, watching her struggle for breath and listening to her cries for help. No, that wouldn’t be enough to make up for what she owed Li Gu; he wanted to see her tortured slowly until death...
When Yu returned from shopping and saw no one to greet her, she pushed the door open with Oke in her arms and happened to catch Huang Zihe with his face close to Autumn Wind's.
"Ah... what are you two doing!"
Yu's loud scream startled Autumn Wind, causing her to step back and sit down on the sofa again. She noticed that her diary had somehow ended up in a bag.
Huang Zihe revealed a captivating smile. "It seems like you're really sick; you need to rest well!" He clasped his hands together and sat down as well.
"What do you have in your hand, Autumn Wind?" Yu quickly spotted the black bag in Autumn Wind's hand and curiously asked. She set Oke down on the floor and reached for the bag.
"Nothing! Sister Liu, take this to my room!" Autumn Wind raised her hand high, avoiding Yu's outstretched hand, and grinned at Yu while loudly calling for Sister Liu.
Sister Liu ran over to grab the bag. Yu led Oke in front of Sister Liu, hoping she could help watch him.
However, Oke tightly held onto Yu, pulling towards the Courtyard with all his might.
"Does Oke want to go out and play?" Autumn Wind peeked over the sofa, sitting quietly with Huang Zihe, who was equally tormenting.
"Quickly go find Aunt Qiu Feng and let her take you out!" Hearing this from Autumn Wind, Yu felt as if she had found a savior; shopping wasn't tiring, but carrying a child while shopping was exhausting.
Yu handed Oke's hand to Autumn Wind. "You take him out to play; I need to rest for a bit. I'm so tired!"
Autumn Wind picked up Oke and nuzzled his face. "How about going out to play with Auntie?"
Oke clapped his hands happily but suddenly turned around and saw Huang Zihe. His face flushed red as he opened his arms towards Huang Zihe, mumbling, "Hug me, I want a hug!"
"Wow, learning from your dad at such a young age!" Autumn Wind chuckled but froze when the words left her mouth.
She glanced awkwardly at Yu, who felt pricked by Autumn Wind's words but quickly regained her optimism. "He's learning from his mom; mom likes handsome guys too!"
Huang Zihe noticed the unusual exchange between Autumn Wind and Yu but continued to smile gently as he took Oke into his arms and softly cooed, "Is his name Oke? What a cute little friend!"
Oke obediently lay in Huang Zihe's arms, giggling as if he knew that the man holding him was praising him. He straightened up and gave Huang Zihe a kiss on the cheek.
The unexpected kiss left Huang Zihe momentarily blank; he even forgot that he had come to Autumn Wind's place to intimidate her and stir up her guilt towards Li Gu.
"Hey, are you going out to play? Uncle will take you out!" Huang Zihe whispered softly in Oke's ear. He smiled at Autumn Wind, turned around, and carried Oke to the courtyard.
"Alright, I'll leave this to you. I need to go take a nap!" Yu yawned, his gaze resting on Huang Zihe's retreating figure. He reassuringly patted Autumn Wind on the shoulder and headed upstairs to his room.
As Yu entered his room, Autumn Wind walked into the courtyard.
It was already afternoon, the sun shining at its brightest.
A few days ago, to provide Oke with a place to play, Autumn Wind had specially asked Uncle Liu to bring in a pile of sand and had placed many shells and conchs in it.
At this moment, Oke was leading Huang Zihe around, introducing his toys. Huang Zihe patiently played with Oke's mundane toys.
He occasionally looked back at Autumn Wind standing behind him. "Come play with us! I didn't expect this to be so much fun!"
Autumn Wind bent down and gently sifted through the sand beneath her feet, digging out a narrow trench and using a shell to create a tent. "Oke is hiding inside now; let's work together to destroy him!"
Oke mischievously came over and flattened the trench, mumbling, "All gone! All gone!" His vocabulary was limited to simple words.
"Wow, Aunt Qiu Feng's position has been destroyed by Oke! Give me five!" Huang Zihe extended his palm to celebrate with Oke.
Oke happily ran back into Huang Zihe's embrace and gently kissed the outstretched palm.
Ahe had already delivered the clothes Yu bought to his room. Seeing Autumn Wind squatting on the ground looking a bit strained, he brought over a rattan chair. "Sister, if you're tired, you can lie down here for a bit!"
"Thank you, Ahe!" Autumn Wind glanced at Ahe's forehead glistening with fine sweat. "What happened? Did shopping with Yu tire you out?"
"No, it's fine!" Ahe's face slightly flushed. "By the way, Sister, Ah Wei took leave today. If you need anything, just let me know!"
Autumn Wind nodded and looked up to see sweat beading on Huang Zihe's forehead. He was wearing a stylish leather jacket, and it was no surprise he was sweating in this temperature. "Help Mr. Huang with one too, and bring a towel!"
Ahe nodded and quickly brought over another chair, holding a towel in her hand but unsure whether to hand it directly to Huang Zihe or place it on the stool.
Autumn Wind took the towel from Ahe's hand and suddenly remembered the incident with Uncle Liu a few days ago. She asked Ahe, "Is today Uncle Liu's daughter's birthday? Let Uncle Liu and Sister Liu take the day off..."
Ahe's face, which had been flushed, suddenly turned pale. Her pupils dilated, and her mouth slightly opened, but she could only manage to say one word, "Yes!"
Autumn Wind waved her hand, signaling Ahe to leave. She walked behind Oke and Huang Zihe, bent down, and gently said, "Oke, would you like to play a game with Auntie?"
"Sure! What is it?" Oke replied in his childish voice, looking up at Autumn Wind with curiosity.
Autumn Wind's eyes sparkled as she said, "It's a treasure hunt! Auntie will hide lots of treasures in this pile of sand, and you have to find them one by one! How about that?"
Oke widened his eyes and nodded vigorously. Clearly, he had played this kind of game before. He obediently lay down on the rattan chair and covered his eyes. "Auntie, you can hide them!"
"Don't peek!" Autumn Wind said cheerfully as she hurriedly buried the shells that Oke had used to build a castle in the sand.
Huang Zihe cooperatively helped hide items like shovels in the sand. In a moment of excitement, he even took off his earring and stuffed it into a Conch.
"Hey, what are you doing?" Autumn Wind whispered urgently, taking the Conch that Huang Zihe was about to bury in the sand and retrieving the earring to hand back to him. "He doesn't even know what this is!"
"It's fine; it adds more fun! If Oke can't find it, then it's just a gift for you this time!" Huang Zihe's eyes sparkled like stars, making Autumn Wind's heart skip a beat.
If she were dating Huang Zihe, he would definitely be someone who knows how to create romance.
"Is it ready?" Oke asked while lying on the rattan chair, propping himself up slightly.
"Almost done!" Huang Zihe took the Conch from Autumn Wind's hand and stuffed the earring back inside before quickly burying it in the sand.
Feeling playful, Autumn Wind reached for the necklace hanging around her neck—the one that Chen Shanni had insultingly returned to her, which was also the only gift given to her by Qiu Mowen.
There was a slight hesitation, but she still found a larger Conch and tucked it in, hiding it in the sand.
She exchanged a smile with Huang Zihe, "Come on, Oke is here to find treasures!"
Gently patting Oke's bottom, Oke happily dashed into the sand pile, striking a pose like Ultraman, "I will definitely find it!"
Autumn Wind stepped back a few paces and sat down on the rattan chair. She pulled out a few wet wipes and wiped her hands, "Alright, go for it, Oke!" Then she handed some wet wipes to Huang Zihe, signaling him to take a break as well.
The warm afternoon breeze brushed over the two of them lying on the rattan chairs, their eyes fixed on Oke, resembling a couple doting on their child.
Autumn Wind handed the towel sent by Ahe to Huang Zihe, "You're so into it that you're sweating!"
"Yeah, I used to love playing in the sand. Back then, it was just me and Li Gu..." Mentioning Li Gu suddenly made Huang Zihe's previously relaxed mood tense up. However, he didn't want to darken his feelings in front of the genuinely cheerful Oke, so he changed the subject.
"That Oke's father and Sister Jiang..."
