Chapter 45 Love Hurts

  Hurry up and explain to her brother Zhou: Brother is not wrong, it's all because of my own wishful thinking, please don't blame yourself! Brother can come to see little sister, little sister is already satisfied, will you often come, Brother Zhou?

  Suddenly, Zhou Yu hastily said: Big brother will come to see little sister every day until little sister is fed up with it, you say is that okay?

  Hu Mei's eyes lit up, and she eagerly asked Zhou Yu: Really? Brother Zhou, will you come to see me every day?

  Yes, Brother Zhou promises to his little sister that he will come every day and watch over her until she gets better. When you recover, Brother Zhou will take you out for a spring outing! Meier, is that okay with you?

  Really? Is what Big Brother said true? Hu Mei asked Zhou Yu with a disbelieving tone.

  Don't worry! Big brother guarantees it's true, even more genuine than gold and silver!

  Watching Zhou Yu deliberately making funny faces and answering himself in a strange way, Hu Mei couldn't help but burst out laughing. Suddenly, she remembered something and hastily retreated into the quilt with a flustered expression.

  Hu Mei only then remembered the word "body" that Zhou Yu had said earlier. Doesn't that mean, her own ugly appearance was seen by Zhou Yu? For the sake of her image, she hastily used the quilt to cover her entire body.

  After a long time, Hu Mei found that there was no sound, and she was afraid that Zhou Yu would leave, so she secretly stuck out half of her head to see if Zhou Yu was still there, but found that Zhou Yu was staring at her with a surprised and strange gaze.

  Suddenly, Hu Mei felt her heart beating rapidly and uncontrollably, her face burning with a fiery sensation, and she quickly buried her head under the covers.

  Zhou Yu was at a loss, staring at Hu Mei who had become extremely thin but now had a rosy complexion and was acting extremely abnormally. In Zhou Yu's mind, which basically had zero love quotient, countless questions were arising - what was wrong with Hu Mei?

  Oh! Let me give you a piece of advice; don't try to guess what's on a girl's mind, no matter how hard you try, you'll never get it right!

  After calming down, Hu Mei suddenly felt her stomach growling and hesitantly poked out her head to say: "Brother Zhou, could you please help me call in our maid Zhuer? I need to talk to her about something."

  Zhou Yu was taken aback; Oh, okay, I'll go right away! He quickly walked out of the room and asked the maid who was waiting outside the door, who had just looked at him with a murderous gaze: Excuse me, miss, which one is Zhu'er? Meier asked her to discuss something.

  "Hmph! I'm the one, you wait outside, don't come in! Zhen'er gave Zhou Yu a deeply resentful order, and even made a digging motion with her eyes, meaning: if you sneak a peek, I'll dig out your eyes."

  Zhou Yu hastily nodded in agreement. In his heart, he felt extremely strange, as if they didn't know each other at all! Why was this girl's attitude towards him so bad? Didn't he have any dignity?! Zhou Yu thought to himself with great discontent.

  Without mentioning Zhou Yu alone outside the door, Ya Ya and Zhu Er hurried into the room, saw Hu Mei's two bright eyes rolling around, which was completely different from her previous dullness.

  Then, she had a mind to tease Hu Mei, and Zhu'er said seriously to Hu Mei: "The person who just came has left. Why did you call me? What instructions do you have?"

  Ah! Hu Mei was suddenly shocked, her eyes widened with surprise, and a line of clear tears flowed down from the corners of her eyes. At the same time, she felt her heart beating as if it were piercing through her bones, and her body suddenly became cold, starting to shiver uncontrollably.

  Zhu'er took a look and saw that the joke had gone too far, so she hastily stepped forward and apologized to Hu Mei: Miss, I'm sorry! I was just joking with you, Mr. Zhou is still waiting outside! How could he possibly bear to abandon a lovely lady like you?

  Really, I'm telling the truth, he's indeed outside the door, hasn't he left yet?! Hu Mei seemed to have lost her temper and tearfully asked Zhu'er.

  Miss, don't cry anymore. If you continue to cry, I'll also cry! Looking at Hu Mei who was crying more and more as she tried to comfort her, Zhu'er was momentarily flustered and didn't know how to handle the situation.

  When Zhu'er stood beside her, at a loss for what to do, Hu Mei's mind was in disarray as she asked Zhu'er in a low voice: Is Big Brother Zhou really not outside anymore? He promised to accompany me every day...

  Zhu'er hastily swore to express; Zhou Yu indeed was still outside, he said: He would always accompany Miss. Just now it was all Zhu'er's fault, shouldn't have teased Miss again! If you don't believe me, I'll go invite Mr. Zhou to come before you right away.

  After making sure Zhou Yu hadn't left, Hu Mei finally regained her composure and instructed Zhu'er to take good care of Zhou Yu, saying that she was hungry and wanted to eat.

  Zhu'er was overjoyed, as Hu Mei's appetite had been decreasing lately and she spent her days lying in bed with a blank stare. Now, out of the blue, she suddenly exclaimed that she was hungry and wanted to eat, how could Zhu'er not be delighted!

  Then Zhen'er hastily rushed to the kitchen to instruct the chef on Miss's meal, and in her haste, she even forgot about Zhou Yu.

  Zhou Yu didn't dare enter Hu Mei's room again and could only stand outside waiting foolishly.

  It wasn't until everyone had finished eating and was busy that they suddenly realized they had left Zhou Yu, the person involved, standing alone for a long time.

  It wasn't that everyone discovered it, mainly after Hu Mei ate some easily digestible liquid food and gained strength, she immediately asked everyone about Zhou Yu, and only then did everyone realize the problem.

  He quickly invited Zhou Yu back to the room. Originally, according to Hu Xueyan's intention, he was going to talk to Zhou Yu in the front hall, but he was afraid that his daughter would be too worried, so he simply and directly invited Zhou Yu to Hu Mei's boudoir again.

  Anyway, Hu Xueyan has now acknowledged Zhou Yu as his son-in-law and doesn't care about what others think. He thinks of his daughter as a heart-wrenching matter, while Zhou Yu is indeed the most outstanding young talent he has ever seen in China, and he and his daughter are a perfect match made in heaven, so he must make this good thing happen no matter what!

  When Zhou Yu entered Hu Mei's room, the others unconsciously started playing hide-and-seek again, leaving only Hu Mei and Zhou Yu, a lonely boy and girl, in the room.

  Hu Mei had always been pining for Zhou Yu, and her beauty had withered away. Now that the person she loved was right in front of her, her heartache had improved by more than half. Having just replenished some food, she also regained some strength. However, to restore her frail body to its former best state, she would need to slowly convalesce.

  Hu Mei is now in a joyful mood, everything she sees is wonderful and everything she hears is pleasant, it's as if she's about to sing a happy tune.

  Hu Mei smiled and said to Zhou Yu, who had just entered the room: "Brother Zhou, please sit down! Why aren't you sitting? Little sister has a lot to say to big brother!"

  Zhou Yu saw that Hu Mei's body had become thin and weak, completely different from before. However, she had now recovered her former spirit and vitality, just like when they first met. In his heart, Zhou Yu also secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

  He didn't want the lovely younger sister he had just met to wither away in front of his own eyes!

  Zhou Yu adjusted his mood, and with a smile on his face, he asked Hu Mei: "Little sister, do you have anything to say or ask? Feel free to ask, and I'll definitely answer you truthfully."

  Big Brother has already won a small victory over the French army, is he still going back to Vietnam? Hu Mei seemingly carelessly asked Zhou Yu.

  Hehe! Little sister, don't test big brother anymore. I promised you that I'll accompany little sister every day until Meier's body recovers. Later on, I'll also ask Meier to take me on a tour of Shanghai!

  Sister, isn't it that you hope big brother leaves Shanghai early?!

  Brother can stay to accompany Mei, Mei is happy and hasn't had time yet! How could she be tired of Big Brother Zhou? Hu Mei hastily explained to Zhou Yu, she was afraid that Zhou Yu would misunderstand and leave her, which was the last thing Hu Mei wanted to see.

  Big brother! Nowadays, Mei'er has some doubts about music and wants to ask for advice from Brother Zhou. I don't know if Brother Zhou can help his little sister resolve her confusion? Hu Mei asked Zhou Yu with a forced smile.

  What kind of question can stump our multi-talented Miss Hu Miao? Zhou Yu deliberately teased Hu Miao.

  Big brother would tease little sister, but Mei'er wasn't as good as big brother said! Hu Mei didn't agree and twisted her shoulders, her charm was very enticing. Zhou Yu wouldn't feel this way, after all, he was a man who had never been handled before!

  Zhou Yu saw Hu Mei speaking to him in a coquettish manner, and his heart was also relatively warm. He had been in this space for more than three years, and except for a group of subordinates and allies, he didn't have any relatives or friends.

  Due to his extensive knowledge and memory, the eyes of his subordinates looking at him were filled with reverence and admiration. Where was the affection and casualness? Even Tian Ergou, who he usually treated as a brother, was extremely respectful towards him, making Zhou Yu feel very lonely, like an isolated and solitary person.

  Now Hu Mei speaks to Zhou Yu in a casual and familiar tone, as if she were a family member, giving Zhou Yu an illusion of communication with relatives and friends.

  At this time, the atmosphere between the two was quite harmonious, and there was a subtle sense of casualness between them, which made Zhou Yu feel very comfortable and fond.

  So, Zhou Yu often becomes more casual without realizing it, giving the originally dull Zhou Yu some vitality.

  Little sister learned the ancient zither of China in her early years, and now she has also learned Western piano. Little sister thinks that both instruments have good timbres, but doesn't know if big brother can tell little sister: which one is better, the music played on the Western piano or our national instrument, the guzheng? Little sister is really confused about this!

  Good grief, heavens! Do you really think I'm a Baidu god? I'm also human, and as a person, there are things I don't know how to do! Please don't think I'm invincible! I can't even kill cockroaches! Although Zhou Yu lamented in his heart, he still had to save face and not tarnish the reputation of "Pig's Foot" - what do you all think?

  As little sister said, big brother thinks that little sister learned Western modern piano and triple piano, because ancient piano has obvious disadvantages, that is, it cannot adjust the volume, and cannot play strong and weak sounds with different finger forces.
