C38 The Atmosphere Is Stiff

"Huang Jia."    

    

Huang Jia felt as if she was pushed in her sleep. She slowly opened her eyes and looked up. Zhou Yi, who had a smile on his face, entered her sight.    

    

"Ah, senior!" Huang Jia was startled and quickly stood up from the sofa. Her face turned red all of a sudden.    

    

"Are you alright?" Zhou Yi smiled when he saw her frightened look.    

    

"Senior, I'm sorry, I just fell asleep." Huang Jia stammered. There were too many things today. In order to meet up with Xu Xiaoting, she missed her afternoon nap time, so she just fell asleep. She didn't expect Zhou Yi to see her sleeping appearance and felt a burst of fear in her heart.    

    

"Did senior see something?" Did I embarrass myself when I was asleep …? " At the same time as she was apologizing, Huang Jia was also upset with herself. She was very worried if she did something bad when she was sleeping or not to let Zhou Yi see it.    

    

However, Zhou Yi woke her up the moment he entered the door, so of course he didn't see anything.    

    

At this moment, when Huang Jia wanted to speak again, she suddenly noticed the middle-aged woman standing behind Zhou Yi.    

    

Seeing Huang Jia's gaze pass by him, Zhou Yi glanced at the middle-aged woman who was looking around and explained with a smile, "That's my landlord."    

    

It turned out that the landlord had arrived at the same time when he was out shopping for drinks. Zhou Yi had already paid off the rent at the coffee shop and knew that he wouldn't renew the contract, so he came to check the house.    

    

After listening to Zhou Yi's explanation, Huang Jia nodded in understanding as she gradually calmed down.    

    

"If you're tired, then take a rest. The people from the moving company should be coming soon." Zhou Yi laughed.    

    

"No, that's not necessary. I was just feeling a little sleepy a moment ago, but I'm feeling a little better now." She didn't want anyone to find out about her little secret while she was still unprepared. While she was sleeping, people would always accidentally leak it out through the form of sleep talk.    

    

Hearing her words, Zhou Yi couldn't say anything more, so he said, "Then you take a seat first, I'll check if there's anything wrong with the house with the landlord."    

    

"Yes." Huang Jia nodded. Suddenly, she remembered something and said to Zhou Yi, who was about to turn around, "Senior."    

    

"Hmm, what's wrong?" Zhou Yi asked.    

    

"Is that picture of Miss Xu Xiaoting on the TV cabinet?" Huang Jia looked at the framed photo on the television cabinet.    

    

"Photographs?" Zhou Yi also looked at the TV cabinet and found the photo that he took with Xu Xiaoting.    

    

Zhou Yi's expression suddenly changed. He quickly walked over and bent down to pick up the photo that was placed on the TV cabinet.    

    

As Huang Jia watched, a look of determination flashed in her eyes. Then, she threw the photo into the empty trash can.    

    

"Senior, you …?" Huang Jia was shocked. She didn't know why Zhou Yi did that. Wasn't that Zhou Yi's past memories?    

    

She wanted to ask what was going on, but when she saw Zhou Yi's gloomy face and the fear in his heart, she stopped herself.    

    

However, Zhou Yi threw the photo into the trash can without any hesitation. Then, he revealed a smile and said, "Huang Jia, I'll be going to the landlord's place first." After saying that, he went to look for the landlord who was checking on him elsewhere in the house.    

    

Huang Jia felt uneasy and didn't have the courage to speak.    

    

She had heard that Xu Xiaoting and Zhou Yi were male and female friends, but when Zhou Yi saw the photo, his reaction was even greater than when he saw the real person. It made her feel like she had done something wrong.    

    

At the same time, Zhou Yi, who was following beside the landlady, was a bit absent-minded. Even though the landlady pointed at him for some small problems he caused in the house, he did not say a word.    

    

After talking for a long time, the landlady's face revealed a look of displeasure, and she said: "Oh Zhou, what's wrong with this aluminum buttonboard in the bathroom? Little Zhou? " After she finished speaking, she saw that Zhou Yi did not have any reaction, so she raised her voice a little. The expressionless Zhou Yi said: "Little Zhou, are you listening!?"    

    

At this moment, Zhou Yi finally woke up.    

    

"Ah, I'm listening. What's wrong?" Zhou Yi suddenly blinked his eyes, then looked up at the bathroom ceiling that the landlady pointed to.    

    

The landlady pursed her lips, revealing her dissatisfaction. "Why is the aluminum buckle reversed?"    

    

"Oh, that was when the bath was broken. Maybe he was acting the opposite." Zhou Yi was stunned for a moment before he answered.    

    

"Sigh, it's not like I'm talking about you tenants. Even if you're renting a house, you still have to seriously return to your original state. How could you turn it around?" The landlady complained.    

    

"…" Zhou Yi looked deeply at the landlady and replied, "How about I bring it back for you now?"    

    

"No need, you're already leaving. I'll get it next time." The landlady left the bathroom and returned to the living room. She checked the house carefully, but there was nothing wrong with it.    

    

"I'm dizzy. If you don't want me to put it back, why are you talking about it …" Zhou Yi felt helpless, but he knew it was his own problem and followed him out bitterly.    

    

"Little Zhou, when will the people from the moving company come?" The landlady crossed her arms as she came into the living room.    

    

Zhou Yi went back to the living room and took a look at Huang Jia first. He found her sitting on the sofa like a child who had done something wrong. After being stunned for a moment, he replied, "Ah, I just called.    

    

"Yes." The landlady nodded her head, but she didn't know where to go.    

    

Zhou Yi didn't want to hear her nagging, so he rushed to the table where the plastic bags were. He took out two bottles of mineral water and said, "Landlord, do you want some water? Let's have a rest."    

    

"No need." The landlady looked at the bottle of mineral water in Zhou Yi's hand and coldly refused.    

    

"Fine." Zhou Yi nodded and looked at Huang Jia on the sofa. He hesitated for a moment and then walked over.    

    

"Huang Jia …"    

    

Huang Jia, who looked dejected, suddenly heard Zhou Yi's voice. She looked up and saw him pass her a bottle of mineral water. She smiled and asked, "Do you want to drink?"    

    

Huang Jia raised her head and was stunned for a moment. Then, she took the bottle of mineral water from Zhou Yi in a daze.    

    

"Was my reaction too harsh?" Seeing that Huang Jia didn't even say thank you, Zhou Yi was a bit troubled. He also didn't think that he would have such a huge reaction when he saw Xu Xiaoting!    

    

It had been a long time, the first time they'd spent time together on the beach when they were still in college, and the only one they hadn't discarded since they'd parted. However, it was not like he didn't have the time to think about it. He had been busy with the company's matters for some time and had forgotten about the existence of this photo.
