Chapter 7: Surprise turns into shock 3
However, when Su Han returned home that night, something unexpected happened.
The little pandas were all asleep, and the house was dark and quiet, with only the sound of her footsteps on the floor. In the past, Xu Zhe would wait for her until she fell asleep on the computer, but today, he was not there.
"Xu Zhe? Xu Zhe!" She opened every door of the small apartment, but there was no familiar figure inside. Su Han suddenly felt a panic in her heart, and she couldn't describe the feeling.
Xu Zhe...where on earth did he go?
After taking a shower and sitting on the sofa, Su Han saw a wet note on the coffee table. The words on it had melted a little.
"Something happened at home, so I have to go back and take care of it first. Take care of yourself these few days and eat breakfast! There are honey-glazed grilled wings in the oven in the kitchen, remember to eat them."
Xu Zhe's handwriting was still so domineering and flying. It seemed that as soon as she closed her eyes, she could see Xu Zhe, who was soaked all over, lying here writing. The whole person was divided into two by light and shadow, with his eyes drooping, and his long and thick eyelashes dyed with a layer of gold, revealing a bit of careless laziness.
Su Han carefully put away the note, feeling sad... Chinese Valentine's Day was just a few days away, and he suddenly came home. What was he doing?
"It feels so lonely staying at home alone."
During the days when Xu Zhe was away, Su Han truly felt lonely. Although they could still contact each other via phone and WeChat, Xu Zhe always said a few vague words and hung up the phone in a hurry, as if he was busy with something.
At this moment, she suddenly realized that although he had only moved in for less than three months, she had already gotten used to Xu Zhe's company. He was like a silent shadow, following her faithfully. She didn't need to worry about any problems or difficulties because he would definitely help... But since when did she forget that Xu Zhe also had his own life, a side that she could not participate in?
Maybe it was because it rained that day and Su Han and Zheng Hao were caught in the rain together for a while. Her throat had been feeling uncomfortable these days and she also had a slight cold. In addition, Xu Zhe had not returned for a long time, so she was so depressed that she simply took a leave and rested at home.
On the Chinese Valentine's Day, Zheng Hao called to invite her out, but Su Han didn't want to go at all. She simply refused on the pretext of being sick. Not long after she lay down, Li Su's life-threatening phone rang. Hearing her lazy voice with a strong nasal tone, Li Su on the other end of the phone started shouting.
"You are really sick, Hanmei!"
"Yeah...what's wrong?" Su Han answered boredly.
"I heard that you just rejected my brother's invitation. I thought you were not sick, but crazy!"
Su Han pressed his temples in distress, not knowing how to explain. He dealt with Li Su vaguely and continued to stroke the red panda lying on the blanket in front of him while lying on the bed in a daze.
These past few days, Zheng Hao called her and sent her WeChat messages whenever he had time, asking about her well-being and wanting to come to her house to take care of her, but Su Han always found excuses to refuse. To be honest, she really didn't want to be alone with him at all. Even thinking of Zheng Hao made her feel stressed.
The sun was shining brightly outside the window, but his small apartment seemed like a place where the sun could not reach. Without Xu Zhe, life had lost all its joy. Even the red panda's hair seemed to have become much duller, and it would meow around him dejectedly all day long, as if asking him when he would come back.
"You're staring at me and I don't know either." She tapped the red panda's forehead gently and sighed.
At this moment, the doorbell suddenly rang, and a strong voice came from outside: "Xu Zhe, does Mr. Xu live here? There is a delivery! Please sign for it!"
Five minutes later, Su Han closed the door and stared at the cardboard box in front of him that was half a person's height.
This was the first time she had come into contact with something related to Xu Zhe in these days, although it was just a courier from him. Although she complained in her heart that this guy seemed to have evaporated from the face of the earth and it made her angry just thinking about it, Su Han still signed for him to receive this courier of unknown substance.
"Little boy, what's in such a big box? It's so heavy!" Su Han used all her strength to move the huge box to the living room bit by bit. Because it was so heavy, her movements were very rough, and it hit the corners of the table and chairs from time to time, making "bang bang" sounds.
"It better not be something important! It's your fault for not notifying me in advance, so you can't blame me even if it's broken..."
As she was talking to herself, she suddenly heard a "bang" inside the box, as if something had hit it. When she heard this, she immediately stopped.
"I can't move it anymore. I can't move it anymore. Just wait until you come back and do it yourself!"
Xu Zhe felt that he was about to die.
He planned everything and wrapped himself up as a big gift to return to Su Han, but he really didn't expect that Su Han would carry him in such a barbaric way.
Yes, that's right, he, Xu Zhe, because he was bumped around by her just now, so now he can only curl up in the huge cardboard box in an extremely twisted posture, bumping around everywhere. He let out a sad "ah" and then heard Su Han stop outside.
"Who? Who's talking?"
Xu Zhe was so scared that he held his breath and prayed that the red panda would suddenly appear and save his life. He didn't know if his prayer was answered, but the sound of the TV suddenly rang and Su Han seemed to be walking towards the sofa.
All I heard her say was, "Little Panda, do you want to watch the noon news again? Okay, I'll watch it with you!"
Xu Zhe finally breathed a sigh of relief, not caring about his silly look, and smiled triumphantly... Little panda, it turns out that my love for you is not in vain, you even know to help me turn on the TV at the critical moment!
As the sudden laughter sounded, the air suddenly became silent. Su Han hugged the little panda nervously: "I...did I hear someone laughing just now? You heard it too, didn't you, little panda?"
The red panda meowed and slapped the remote control twice with its paws. The volume of the TV suddenly turned up and the female anchor on TV laughed exaggeratedly, covering up everyone else's voice.
Su Han was full of doubts... Could it be that he had heard it wrong?
Su Han is going crazy.
Because she felt like she was suffering from auditory hallucinations, sometimes she heard a "click", sometimes a "squeak", and sometimes a "bang"...
The sound was neither far nor near, and it was hard to tell where it came from. Su Han stared at the red panda nervously. It also stared at her for a long time, and then finally meowed, moved its fat body, and jumped off the sofa gracefully.
It proudly raised its head and walked around the cardboard box for a while, occasionally coming over to sniff and wag its tail.
Su Han finally got the inspiration. She rushed to the huge cardboard box and reached out to the seemingly calm box...
At this moment, the voice of the female anchor on TV suddenly sounded: "Today, residents in many places have reported that there have been frequent vicious revenge incidents through express delivery. Many reporters said that they found knives with pig blood, funeral clothes and shoes, and other threatening items in the express delivery..."
The red panda jumped onto the sofa and turned off the TV . The female anchor's voice disappeared all of a sudden. Su Han trembled a little, prepared himself mentally to see the knife with pig blood on it, and then he resolutely opened the lid of the cardboard box.
“Surprise!”
"ah!"
A shrill scream burst out from Su Han's mouth, and a living person jumped out of the cardboard box. This is even more terrifying than seeing a kitchen knife covered in pig blood!
Xu Zhe was also startled by Su Han's unusual volume. He quickly wanted to pat her shoulder, but unexpectedly Su Han trembled violently, holding her head and backing away. Xu Zhe regretted it very much. Who could have thought that the carefully planned surprise actually turned into a scare!
"Su Han, it's me, don't be afraid, it's me!"
Xu Zhe hurriedly climbed out of the box, but his foot was tripped by the box when he took a step, and he rushed towards Su Han with a "ah" cry.
“Bang!”
"Well!"
An unexpected kiss just happened. Her lips were soft and fragrant, like chewy jelly, and the lip balm on her lips had a faint peach scent. He couldn't help but stay for a while, until the red temperature on her face burned him, then he pretended to have no strength to get up.
Su Han's face turned red, and she couldn't help but get angry: "Xu Zhe!"
This guy likes to play pranks normally. I didn't expect that he would do something so shocking when he comes back. It's so embarrassing!
He smiled and gently touched her face: "I'm back, happy Chinese Valentine's Day."
For a moment, the words of reproach that were about to come out of Su Han's mouth were stuck in her throat. She stared blankly at his glasses that were emitting warm light, and felt that the atmosphere suddenly became romantic, and even the air was filled with the sweet smell of peaches.
