Hear My Heart: My World Falls into the River of Love

Chapter 33 - I know; he is very good.

He Xiu finally turned his head and gazed steadily at Jian Yan, as though he was trying to find something in her face. Mentally, Jian Yan felt bashful and began talking, trying to defend her words. "Didn't I tell you last time that I have misandry? It's very difficult to come across a guy I can sit with in his car and chat like this."

"Oh." He Xiu made a sound of understanding, an elusive smile gracing his lips.

Jian Yan pointed ahead, fiercely saying, "Look at the road when you're driving!"

He Xiu chuckled softly before withdrawing his gaze, not forcefully pursuing this topic anymore.

His aunt lived in an ordinary neighborhood. When he and Jian Yan walked up the stairs, he said to her, "Because auntie is barren, she lives by herself after she and her husband divorced."

Jian Yan was stunned slightly before nodding. "I understand."

"I originally wanted to bring her to a place close to the He Mansion, as it would be more convenient for me to look after her, but she didn't want it."

Jian Yan commented, "My mom is like this as well. I asked her to move together with me, but she steadfastly refused."

He Xiu smiled and said, "Moving in with you is also because you want her to look after you?"

"..." Why was it that he said the same thing as her mom! Within her heart, Jian Yan was unconvinced. "Although I am normally busy with work, I'm not as busy as you. Since you can take care of your aunt, how come I can't take care of my mom?"

He Xiu stated, "Because I am my own boss. If I don't want to work, then I don't have to work."

Jian Yan: "..."

She was immediately convinced.

He Xiu's aunt lived on the seventh floor, so after the two climbed up there, Jian Yan discovered that the door to her left was unlocked, like the resident had specifically left it like that.

"Is it this side?" she asked.

"Mn." He Xiu still walked up and rapped on the door. "Aunt Jiang."

The layout of this room had the door leading straight into the kitchen, where Aunt Jiang just happened to be cooking. Hearing his voice, she took two steps towards the door. After the door was opened, she stared blankly at them.

Today, Jian Yan had dressed specially for the occasion. She was wearing a dark, floral print dress along with a long, golden brown fur vest. With a brown, broad-brimmed hat atop her head, the vibrancy and transition of color made her appear fashionable and retro.

"This beautiful woman is..." Aunt Jiang's gaze fell upon He Xiu, a faint light flashing through her eyes.

He Xiu said, "Her name is Jian Yan, a friend of mine."

"Friend?" Aunt Jiang repeated his words.

He Xiu nodded, and Aunt Jiang nodded in understanding. Oh, meaning he has not caught her yet.

"Hello, Aunt Jiang," Jian Yan courteously greeted her. "I wish you a happy birthday."

"Thank you, thank you. Quick, come in and take a seat. Don't stand in the doorway." Aunt Jian invited them into her home before hurriedly giving them cups of hot water. "Look at you, you brought a friend over but didn't tell me ahead of time. I didn't make any preparations at all."

She emphasized 'friend' strongly. He Xiu calmly smiled and said, "Only this way will you get a nice surprise."

"It's a very nice surprise." Aunt Jiang once again examined Jian Yan and then walked to the kitchen. "You two have fun first; I still have food cooking in the kitchen."
