Chapter 171 Love at First Sight
For several days in a row, Bai Zhu came to the orphanage, got along well with the director and the children, and was very popular.
Compared with his cheerful and positive attitude, Li Yuehu is much more silent. He usually won't speak unless asked by others.
At first, Bai Zhu was a little surprised because the children in the orphanage said that she was very enthusiastic and loved to laugh, which was very different from her current appearance.
Gradually, after deliberate inquiries, Bai Zhu also learned some things about Li Yuehu and was greatly shocked.
It turned out that the "Sunflower" that shocked the entire Internet was her work, but unfortunately it was burned in the fire.
It can be seen that her painting skills are still there, but the colors are not as bright as before. Is she in a bad mood?
Bai Zhu wanted to understand her and make her happy, so he put a lot of thought into it. Today he took her and the children on a picnic, and tomorrow they would have a barbecue together...
Li Yuehu went there and said she was very happy, but there was no smile in her eyes and even the smile on her face was stiff.
Bai Zhu knew that she was not really happy, she was just pretending to be happy.
However, if a person has to pretend to be happy, she must be very depressed.
Bai Zhu felt very distressed, and because he didn't want to make her feel sad, he even spoke carefully.
He thought he had hidden it well, but Li Yuehu still saw through it.
"Bai Shu, what can I do for you?"
The two were walking side by side on the road, originally very quietly, but Li Yuehu suddenly asked a question that surprised Bai Zhu.
"No, why do you ask?"
"You've looked at me several times. Don't you have something to say?"
Li Yuehu looked into his eyes, with a rare hint of doubt in her eyes.
Bai Shu's heart skipped a beat. He thought he had concealed it well, but did she see it all?
"I wasn't peeking at you, I was just looking at the car!"
Explanation is a cover-up, nothing more.
Bai Zhu also knew that his excuse was lame, and he felt even more ashamed, his ears turned red.
"You blush really easily, are you shy?"
Li Yuehu's eyes were so clear, like a mirror that could reflect people's hearts, making Bai Zhu's heart even more confused.
At this moment, Bai Zhu really wanted her to stop looking at him, because he felt so flustered and confused.
However, if she looked away, Bai Zhu would feel disappointed again.
This contradictory emotion has been tormenting him, making him want to get close to Li Yuehu, but afraid that she would resist.
If possible, he hopes to become a ray of sunshine, or a gust of wind, or even a fly will do!
He just...
I want to stay with Li Yuehu all the time, even if I can only talk to her, I will be satisfied.
Bai Zhu took a deep breath and took another peek, but was seen by Li Yuehu. His heartbeat suddenly accelerated and he even walked limply.
"Yuehu, I want to say..."
"Ok?"
Bai Zhu thought about it, trying not to offend her, and asked carefully: "I want to ask, maybe you have depression?"
"Why do you ask?" Li Yuehu was a little surprised, because when she began to lose her emotions, even her depression was slowly disappearing.
I thought no one would notice it anymore, but is it still obvious?
Bai Zhu waved his hand and explained: "Don't get me wrong, I was just asking randomly, I didn't mean anything else!"
After saying this, he cursed himself in his heart for being so stupid, not even knowing what to say and what not to say.
Li Yuehu showed a "perfect" smile and said lightly: "It's okay, I'm fine now and I don't have depression anymore."
Yes, she just said that she doesn’t have depression now, she didn’t say she didn’t have it before.
"That's it..."
Bai Zhu was thinking deeply, perhaps he thought of something, but he didn't say it out loud, but there was a trace of heartache in his eyes.
For a moment, neither of them spoke and the air felt suffocating.
Bai Zhu felt even more regretful and was afraid that Li Yuehu would be unhappy.
In his heart, Li Yuehu’s joys and sorrows are more important than anything else, even more important than his life!
So Bai Zhu racked his brains to try to make her happy. He told all kinds of bad jokes and even searched secretly on the Internet. The more he searched, the more worried he became.
At this moment, the two were shopping in the mall. Bai Zhu was pushing the shopping cart, but he looked absent-minded.
Li Yuehu turned around, put down a bag of enoki mushrooms, and asked before Bai Zhu spoke: "Are you trying to make me happy?"
He told so many jokes just to make himself happy, right?
Bai Zhu was stunned for a moment. After she asked him the question directly, his heart started beating wildly again, and his sunny and handsome face showed a little embarrassment.
"Yes……"
His temperament is very clean and as hot as the sun. He seems to be emitting a warm and positive aura all the time, which makes people feel very good about him.
Along the way, girls would secretly look at him from time to time, but Bai Zhu only had eyes for Li Yuehu.
Li Yuehu actually felt a little burdened by this, and forced a smile and said, "You don't have to coax me, I'm already very happy."
In order to make his words more credible, Li Yuehu smiled even more "brightly".
Bai Zhu looked at it but remained silent.
“Yuehu, if you don’t want to laugh, then don’t laugh.”
After hearing this, Li Yuehu gradually put away his smile and didn't know what to do.
"But if I don't smile, how will you know I'm happy?"
Bai Zhu shook his head, feeling even more distressed for her, "You don't have to be happy. No one is forcing you to be happy."
Li Yuehu was speechless and fell into deep silence.
Can she not be happy?
If she was unhappy, wouldn't they be worried about her?
Li Yuehu couldn't understand it, because she was not happy, but she felt that she should be happy so that everyone around her would be happy.
It's like an obsession. She doesn't know why she is so obsessed with making others happy. It's like a program that has been set long ago.
"It's okay, I can do it..."
Li Yuehu said something in a low voice, as if he was explaining to Bai Shu, or as if he was speaking to his own heart.
Bai Zhu sighed. Although this woman, who was a head shorter than him, was older than him, he couldn't help but want to be nice to her. He wanted to hold her in his hands and make her never have to force a smile again.
Bai Zhu touched her head as a comfort.
"What are you doing?"
Suddenly, an angry voice sounded in front of them, startling both of them.
When I looked up, I saw Han Jing and Liu Ruyan right in front of me. It turned out that they also came to the mall and happened to see Li Yuehu and Bai Shu together.
For Han Jing, this was an unbearable betrayal.
