At the school gate.
Zhou Dingyu put one hand in his pocket and glared coldly at Qin Ziang who came out carrying a schoolbag.
Qin Ziang shrank his neck guiltily.
"cousin ... "
Zhou Dingyu was too lazy to pay attention to him , " Can't you let your mother worry less?"
Qin Ziang said with disdain , " I have already given Ms. Zhou enough peace of mind. Her heart is all on her career and those wild men outside. She doesn't give me a cent."
Zhou Dingyu kicked him directly , " You ungrateful bastard."
Watching Qin Ziang rubbing his butt and getting into the car with a grin on his face.
Zhou Dingyu held a cigarette in his mouth.
Although his cousin is thirteen years younger than him, his situation is not much better than his.
His mother and father divorced when he was three years old. After the divorce, his mother, Ms. Zhou Ningwei, took care of the family business for her father. She was like a madman, and transformed herself from a full-time wife who took care of her husband and children into a strong woman.
No one knows what she went through in her marriage.
All I know is that she seemed like a different person after she came back.
The focus shifted from the child's ex-husband to just herself.
But Qin Ziang is her son after all. Although he seems to be left alone, Ms. Zhou Ningwei has often asked her cousin to take care of him secretly.
No matter what, Zhou Ningwei is one of the few people in the Zhou family who is sincere to Zhou Dingyu.
If it weren't for her, he would have died long ago.
Zhou Dingyu cherishes him very much, otherwise he would not have made a special trip to school just for Qin Ziang.
Thunder rumbled in the distance. Zhao Zhe was about to start the car in front. Zhou Dingyu tilted his head to look at the empty school gate and said calmly , " Wait a moment."
Zhao Zhe looked over in confusion.
Zhou Dingyu leaned against the car door, gathered the flame and lit the cigarette , " Let me have a cigarette."
Zhao Zhe opened his mouth and thought, it's about to rain, why smoke at this time?
*
Summer rain always comes suddenly.
Just as she walked out of the school gate, small raindrops rushed out from the dark clouds like jumping beans and fell all over Xu Li.
In the dense rain, she held the bag on her head. The rain stuck to her eyelashes, making her vision a little blurry.
He shouted to Xu Shiyan:
"The nearest bus stop is 300 meters away. Let's run over there now before the rain gets too heavy!"
Xu Shiyan nodded, took off his coat, covered Xu Li's head with it, and ran forward quickly in silence.
Xu Li pursed her lips, pulled her coat, and followed Xu Shiyan.
At this moment, a black car stopped beside the two of them.
The rear door opened, and Qin Ziang came down with an umbrella , " Hurry up and get in the car. I'll take you there!"
Xu Li looked over and recognized that it was Qin Ziang who had just been punished with Xu Shiyan in the office.
That is, Xu Li was a classmate of Xu Shiyan, and they had a revolutionary friendship. Xu Li did not refuse and ran towards the car with Xu Shiyan.
Qin Ziang walked over with an umbrella , " You guys sit in the back row, I'll sit in the front."
Xu Li nodded , " Thank you for the trouble."
She lowered her head and was about to step into the car when she discovered that there was someone sitting in the back seat.
After seeing who that person was, Xu Li was stunned!
The light was dim, and in the distance lightning streaked across the sky.
With the brief brightness, the man's face in the car was half hidden in the darkness and half in the light, making his facial features appear deeper and more three-dimensional.
The man sat upright, wearing a noble and well-fitting suit, spotless. He tilted his head casually and looked over, his eyebrows slightly raised, his eyes meaningful.
Xu Li swallowed, and her foot was neither able to retreat nor advance, and the air was filled with awkwardness.
However, the heavy rain behind her left her no time to hesitate. She gritted her teeth, pretended not to know the other person, and leaned in.
In an instant, in the cramped carriage, the sandalwood scent mixed with the faint smell of tobacco on the man's body directly invaded Xu Li's nostrils.
Xu Shiyan got into the car right after him.
Qin Ziang closed his umbrella, walked around to the front and got on the car.
The car door closed, and the sound of wind and rain outside was instantly blocked out.
Zhou Dingyu handed over two dry and soft towels, his brows relaxed and he looked very easy-going, completely different from the carefree look he had when they met last time.
Like you are deliberately restraining yourself?
He said , " Wipe it?"
" ... Thank you." Xu Li pursed her lips and reached out to take it. She didn't know if it was a coincidence that when he handed the towel to her, the cool and round Buddhist beads on his wrist just brushed across the back of her hand.
She curled her fingers.
Hot.
He quickly gave one towel to Xu Shiyan.
In the front row, Qin Ziang put away his umbrella and turned to look at Xu Shiyan enthusiastically, and politely asked , " What's your sister's name?"
"Xu Li." Xu Shiyan answered for Xu Li while wiping his wet hair, but out of the corner of his eye he was glancing at the man with slightly folded long legs on Xu Li's left.
After seeing the man's face clearly, his pupils shrank slightly and then returned to normal.
"Hello, Sister Xu Li! Let me introduce myself formally. My name is Qin Ziang, and I’m a junior of senior Xu Shiyan. I’m a sophomore in high school!" Qin Ziang was warm and polite.
Xu Li smiled , " Hello, Ziang."
I was thinking about the relationship between the other party and Zhou Dingyu.
But before she could figure it out, Qin Ziang began to introduce Zhou Dingyu with great enthusiasm:
"This is my cousin Zhou Dingyu. He has been widowed for almost 30 years and is still single. Sister, are you single? If you are single, please consider my brother Yu! My cousin is handsome and has a lot of money to spend!"
Qin Ziang did not grow up in the Zhou residence, and his focus was not on the complicated relationships in the Zhou residence. Therefore, he did not know that Xu Li had ever been engaged to Zhou Huaian, let alone that the engagement had just been cancelled.
And the reason for his "boundaryless" matchmaking this time was not because of anything else, but just because of the moment when he turned around just now.
When I saw Zhou Dingyu and Xu Li sitting next to each other in the back seat, I inexplicably felt that they were a perfect match!
The fire of Cupid in the young man's heart is burning, and his e-human attributes are activated.
But Xu Li was choked by his words and started coughing violently.
Xu Shiyan noticed his sister's embarrassment and said:
"I don't need you to introduce me. The people chasing after my sister are lining up from here to India, but my sister has no interest in love."
He is telling the truth.
He was born nine years later than Xu Li, and he didn't know that Xu Li was engaged to the Zhou family, and his family never mentioned it to him.
But I know that my sister has attracted the attention and favor of many boys at school because of her outstanding looks.
He himself had received many love letters, roses and chocolates from boys asking him to bring them to Xu Li.
But Xu Li didn't even look at it.
He immediately gave the chocolate to Xu Shiyan, and threw the flowers and love letter into the trash can.
After Xu Shiyan finished speaking, the air was quiet for a moment.
Zhou Dingyu, who was sitting on the left side of Xu Li, casually put his slender fingers on the Buddhist beads on his wrist and gently moved them, with an ambiguous expression.
Fortunately, Qin Ziang was a man of good manners, and he did not feel embarrassed after hitting a wall. He smiled nonchalantly and said with a laugh:
"Well, it's okay. When my sister is ready to fall in love, she can give priority to my cousin!"
After Qin Ziang finished speaking, Xu Li raised her lips and tried to use a smile to dispel the awkwardness in the air.
The air continued to be quiet.
I thought this matter was over.
Unexpectedly, Qin Ziang was a persistent person. After he tried to say that, he saw that his cousin did not scold him, so he became even more excited and shouted:
"Whether it works or not, sister, why don't you add my cousin on WeChat first? Let him get a number first!"
Xu Li: ...
Just as her brain was buzzing, the man's slender hand reached out, holding a mobile phone. Xu Li glanced and saw that the WeChat scan function on it had been activated.
Zhou Dingyu said in a low and helpless voice , " If you don't let me take you with me, I'm afraid my cousin won't be at peace on this journey. Miss Xu, shall I sweep you?"
Xu Li pinched the sweat on her palms and laughed dryly , " Okay."
drop--
A WeChat avatar with a black background came into Xu Li's eyes.
After the WeChat verification was passed, both of them had a place in their WeChat list.
Zhou Dingyu looked at the woman’s rather funny “Seeking to Get Rich Quickly” profile picture and rolled his thumb over it silently.
In the front row, Qin Ziang finally smiled with satisfaction.
She even deliberately beautified Zhou Dingyu , " Sister, please keep in touch with my cousin! Although my cousin is so old, he is very innocent and gentle to girls!"
Xu Li coughed twice and almost choked on her own saliva , "... "
Innocence? Gentleness?
The corners of her mouth twitched as she thought of the man's lewd words and his harsh control over her when they were doing that.
She thought to herself: I'm afraid you have some misunderstanding about your cousin.
Xu Li chose to smile and shut up.
Fearing that Qin Ziang would continue talking, she tightened Xu Shiyan's coat around her body, covering up the lines that were faintly visible due to being soaked by the rain.
Close your eyes and pretend to sleep tactically.
But once a person closes a sense.
The rest of the senses will be very sharp.
Although she could no longer see, her hearing and sense of smell became many times more sensitive.
She heard the sound of the Buddhist beads being twisted.
The clacking sound was so pleasant to her ears that she could even feel how strong the man's knuckles were when he was rubbing and kneading her.
The memories of his powerful fingers gripping my waist tightly and controlling me came back to me uncontrollably ...
The cool sandalwood scent on the man was brought to her nose by the warm wind.
Like a seductive hook, it made her feel distracted and her eyelashes trembled.
For the first time, Xu Li felt that pretending to sleep was really tiring and difficult!
Fortunately, the small apartment that Xu Li rented was not too far from the school, and after twenty minutes of agony, she finally arrived.
She pretended to wake up by rubbing her eyes and muttered incoherently , " Oh, we're here."
Then he calmly thanked Zhou Dingyu and Qin Ziang and said goodbye.
He got off the car without changing his expression.
Smiling, waving, and saying goodbye.
The movements were done in one go, very gracefully and calmly.
--
And when she breathed a sigh of relief and prepared to go upstairs.
Xu Shiyan stopped her:
"Sister, are you hiding something from me?"
Hearing Xu Shiyan's sudden question, Xu Li's throat quickly rolled, she gathered her clothes and walked towards the stairs , " No."Xu Shiyan followed and asked intuitively , " Do you know Zhou Dingyu?"Xu Li slipped and almost tripped herself.She asked calmly , " Why do you ask?""Sixth sense."No one knows a sister better than her brother. Xu Shiyan is an extremely sensitive person. Just now in the car, she subconsciously felt that her sister and Zhou Dingyu seemed to have an unusual relationship.Xu Li's head was buzzing, and it took her a long time to come up with an excuse:"Oh, not really. We knew each other when we were kids.""When I was a kid?"Xu Li nodded , " It was probably when I was six years old, and you weren't born yet. During the summer vacation, my dad invited me to stay at Zhou's house, and I played with him.""I've never heard you mention it before." Xu Shiyan frowned slightly, "Then you two sho
Xu Li was looking at the text message sent by the man and her head was buzzing.At that time, in the suburban manor, Zhou Dingyu, who was drunk, was leaning on the leather sofa, rubbing his eyebrows.He just got home after a social event.I was exhausted and was about to take a rest when a text message from the woman popped up.Judging from the literal meaning, she was pleading for a friend of hers.Originally, he didn't mind doing her a favor.But at this moment, looking at the conspicuous red exclamation mark in the WeChat dialog box, Zhou Dingyu was almost laughing out of anger.It was the first time that someone deleted his WeChat account.It was still her.Zhou Dingyu crossed his long legs, adjusted his posture, touched the tip of his tongue to his back teeth, lowered his head, typed a line of words and sent it via text message."Come here, I'll give you a chance to explain to me face to face."His bony fi
The cat named "Congratulations" seemed to really understand Zhou Dingyu's words, and rubbed against his arms like a spoiled child.Congratulations?Xu Li instantly remembered the three cats named Fa Cai, Da Ji and Da Li that Zhou Yingzhi had mentioned when they were at Zhou’s house.It seems that this one should have some connection with them.She cleared her throat and looked towards the man.The man was wearing a linen home suit and had a tall and slender figure.He must have just taken a shower, his hair was not completely dry yet, and it hung softly in front of his forehead, weakening his aggressiveness.The atmosphere of a good family man is strong.It actually gave Xu Li the illusion that he was always easy-going.But this illusion was quickly dispelled, as the man shifted his gaze away from the cat and looked down at her with a lazy and distant attitude.The first thing he said was a low voice that was dull bu
Zhou Dingyu's tone was serious, as if he wanted to teach Xu Li some important survival skill.Xu Li's lips curved in self-mockery.At this moment, pleasing him and currying favor with him are indeed the survival skills she should master.She took a breath and said obediently, "Okay."After saying this, Zhou Dingyu stood up from the sofa and slowly walked towards her.The man's hair had dried out and was no longer soft and limp. It had regained its cold and hard shape and sharp aura, giving off a full sense of oppression.Every time he took a step closer to Xu Li, Xu Li's heart trembled.Until he stopped just an inch away from her, leaned over, and his tall body cast her in shadow.Zhou Dingyu , " Let me demonstrate it first, and you can feel it carefully, okay?"Hearing this, Xu Li's face flushed and she nodded with red cheeks.Her shy and obedient look in Zhou Dingyu's eyes aroused a certain hidden desire to destroy
Zhou Dingyu did not respond. He took another puff of his cigarette, and his voice became lazy and hoarse as he puffed out smoke:"It's hard to get a taxi here. I'll ask Zhao Zhe to take you."Xu Li did not refuse. She nodded to Zhou Dingyu and went out.But as soon as I went out, my legs and feet felt weak again, as if I was stepping on cotton, and felt a little weak.She felt a nameless anger in her heart and her eyes turned red because of grievance.I don't know where he got so much energy to do so many different things for so long.But when she thought about getting 1.5 million in one night, she gritted her teeth and was not so angry anymore.He moved step by step to the stairs and went down holding the handrail.Zhao Zhe was already waiting at the entrance of the villa. Seeing Xu Li walking strangely, he didn't dare to look at her any more. He helped her open the car door and handed her a paper bag."Ms. Xu, Mr. Zhou a
Xu Li cleared her throat, glanced at Xu Shiyan who was looking at her, and knocked on the table calmly , " Eat quickly, and do your homework after you finish eating."After saying that, he stood up and went back to his room.His fingers danced on the phone keyboard, and he began to weave white lies and send them to Cai Cai——"No, it was raining yesterday and I was riding in Xu Shiyan's car. I accidentally left something very important in his car. He found it at night and sent me a WeChat message to tell me to pick it up when I had time.""Then he found out I had deleted him, and got my phone number from somewhere, and called me to ask what I meant.""Well, I felt embarrassed, so I took the initiative to add him again, and to apologize, I posted that content on WeChat Moments."After sending this message, there was silence for a moment, and then a reply came:"Really? Didn't he force you to post that on WeChat Moments?"Xu Li , "
All of a sudden, the looks the employees gave Xu Li changed from questioning to admiration.Xu Li tightened her clenched palms and cleared her throat. "Everyone, please get busy first." After a pause, she said to the employee who answered the phone, "Please ask Mr. Zhou to come up."Soon, the front desk clerk personally led Zhou Dingyu up.Zhou Dingyu has an outstanding appearance. He wears a dark gray suit, revealing a line of snow-white shirt collar. He has long legs, broad shoulders and a narrow waist, and his whole temperament is extraordinary.As soon as he appeared, he felt like a crane standing out from the crowd.There are many girls who are fans of him in the office area. When they saw him in person, they all covered their mouths and acted like crazy fans.After Zhou Dingyu locked his eyes on Xu Li, he walked over without looking away."Mr. Xu." A playful gaze fell on Xu Li's face.He keenly captured the abnormal emotio
As for what to teach, although Xu Li did not specify it, it was obvious that Zhou Dingyu understood it immediately.Their eyes met and their breaths intertwined.The intensity of ambiguity suddenly increased.Zhou Dingyu looked at the little woman who was deliberately showing weakness and teasing him.Not much sincerity.But he seems to like it.His eyes darkened, and the tip of his tongue touched the soft flesh on the inside of his cheek. He sneered, and suddenly his strong arms wrapped around the woman's waist and pulled her towards him.He joked , " Since Miss Xu is so eager to improve herself, I don't mind teaching you a little more."After saying that, the man captured her lips with an irresistible domineering attitude and drove straight in.The refreshing masculine scent instantly enveloped Xu Li.In order to please the man and make him stay a little longer, she even used all the "lifelong knowledge" she had le
