Chapter Seventy-Five: The Future is Long

He answered the phone for more than half an hour.

Zhou He sorted out his luggage and took the cold medicine given by the boss. went downstairs to watch the cherry blossoms in the courtyard for a while, and Cheng Wei came downstairs. He handed her a cup of piping hot tea and said, "You can also look in the house, go inside, don't catch a cold." ”

His gaze fell through the crimson courtyard and looked into the distance, not knowing what he was thinking, and he paused for a moment before returning to the house.

The boss prepared a small snack and asked the two of them to eat something to cushion their stomachs, saying that they would be able to eat in a while.

Cheng Wei nodded, telling him to be busy and leave them alone. Push the plate with the snacks in front of Zhou He.

Zhou He may have been a little frozen, and even though the dinner was hearty, she didn't eat much. After eating, she went straight back to her room, took a hot shower, collapsed on the bed and fell asleep.

She woke up in the early hours of the morning, took out her phone and looked at the time, and she lay back under the covers. She often suffers from insomnia, and when she wakes up, she can't sleep again, and her mind is extremely clear in the night.

The courtyard had fallen into a deep sleep, and it was quiet all around. Zhou He lay down for a while and suddenly felt a little thirsty, she turned on the lamp at the bedside and sat up, planning to go downstairs to pour water and drink.

She had thought everyone was asleep, but when she reached the staircase, she saw a long figure standing in front of the window at the end of the corridor. The fireworks flickered in the faint light.

The owner's family lives downstairs, and there are only two people on this floor, her and Cheng Wei. Zhou He's footsteps paused, did not pass, and went downstairs gently.

Cheng Wei didn't know what he was thinking, and when she came back, he was still standing still. Zhou He stood at the entrance of the building for a while and walked over.

Walking closer, Cheng Wei should have heard her footsteps. His body moved slightly, but he didn't look back. It wasn't until she was completely close that he looked back at her and said, "Can't sleep?"

He had drunk wine, and he had a faint smell of wine.

"Woke up. Zhou He said a word and asked, "Don't you sleep?"

Cheng Wei was a little careless and said, "I'm going to sleep." He said as he dusted off the ashes of his hand.

He knew that something was wrong at a glance, Zhou He pursed his lips slightly, lowered his head, and asked, "Is there anything I can help with?"

Cheng Wei paused slightly as he pinched his cigarette, raised a pair of peach blossom eyes to look at Zhou He, chuckled, and said, "What is Xiao Ahe going to help me?"

His voice was low and not serious. As he spoke, he propped himself on the windowsill with one hand, trapping Zhou He between the walls. He didn't know how much wine he drank, as if he was a little drunk, and his breath smelled of wine.

In the faint light, his drunken eyes looked at Zhou He, and the ambiguity spread between the two.

Zhou He's body stiffened, and he suddenly raised his hand and hugged Cheng Wei's neck. Slightly cool lips pressed on.

probably didn't expect her to be so active, Cheng Wei froze. Zhou He's youthful temptation made his whole body tense, and his breathing gradually became heavier. His hand fell on Zhou He's slender waist, and he said in a low voice, "Will you regret it?"

Zhou He's mind was clear, and he shook his head gently.

Cheng Wei couldn't hold it anymore, his hand pressed her waist tightly, and he turned passive to active and bit her lip. He picked her up, kicked open the door and entered the room, locking the door with his backhand.

It was so quiet in the middle of the night that his palms were hot. In the midst of the entanglement, Zhou He could hear the thumping of his heart. So real, so powerful.

It's been too long, and Zhou He is not adaptable. Cheng Wei has been vegetarian for too long, not gentle, and urgent. Zhou He couldn't control his low whimper, and he leaned over and kissed her on the lips.

Zhou He's whole person was dazed, and he didn't even know how long Cheng Wei had been tossing and when he had fallen asleep.

She woke up a little late the next day, and there was no longer Cheng Wei by her side. It was as if last night was nothing more than a dream. Her body was a little sore, she quickly got up, went to the bathroom to wash up, and went downstairs.

When I got to the top of the stairs, I heard a faint conversation coming from downstairs. When she went down, she saw Cheng Wei and the boss sitting under the eaves of the porch at the door, drinking tea and playing chess.

Seeing her coming downstairs, Cheng Wei didn't get up, said that he woke up, and said gently: "Go and have breakfast, we have already eaten." ”

The boss didn't get up, but just shouted for someone to prepare breakfast for Zhou He.

Breakfast is the specialty seafood porridge and shrimp dumplings here, which are very fresh. The boss asked Zhou He to eat outside, saying that he would go out to fish at noon and make them the freshest local grilled fish in the evening.

Zhou He smiled slightly and said thank you. She was a little uncomfortable and didn't go to see Cheng Wei.

Cheng Wei and the boss didn't play this game of chess for a long time, and after she finished breakfast, the boss put the chess away. gave Cheng Wei a map of the island and asked the two to go out for a walk.

The island is not big, just the size of a small town. Those who come here are all for the peach blossoms all over the island, and there is no special entertainment.

Zhou He and Cheng Wei are not very comfortable walking together, but Cheng Wei is casual. walked out of the small courtyard and got out of the boss's sight, so he reached out and held Zhou He's hand.

His movements were natural, he took out the map and looked at it, looked at Zhou He, and said, "There is a playground, go and play?"

Zhou He didn't know where to go, so he nodded and said yes.

The island is quiet and there are very few vehicles except for sightseeing cars and bicycles. The roads on both sides are lined with cherry blossom trees, and cherry blossom petals fall on the ground, so you can get on the soles of your feet after a few steps.

Although the island is not big, it has a lot of tourists. There were people taking pictures along the way. Cheng Wei looked at Zhou He and asked, "Do you want to take a few shots?"

Zhou Ji didn't like to take pictures, shook his head and said no.

Cheng Wei was not reluctant, took her hand and continued to walk forward. His palms were warm, as if he had returned to the beginning of being together. Zhou He was slightly in a trance.

Cheng Wei called her twice in a row before she came back to her senses and looked at him.

Cheng Wei patted her on the head and said, "What are you thinking about so preoccupied? There's a dessert shop over there, I heard it's worth trying, do you want to try it?"

Zhou He's brain was a little sluggish, nodded indiscriminately, and said yes.

The dessert shop that Cheng Wei mentioned is a small storefront, and there is already a long queue. Cheng Wei was very patient, let Zhou He wait on the side, and he lined up himself.

Zhou He looked at it and couldn't help but come to his senses.

There are so few places to have fun on the island, and there are many playgrounds. Cheng Wei bought a ticket, but he refused to play, and asked Zhou He to play in a team with a girl who came alone.

Zhou Ji was not interested, and refused to play after playing for a while. I went back to the hotel where I was staying.

When he went back, Cheng Wei's mobile phone rang again, and when he finished answering the call, Zhou He said, "It's not fun, let's go back." ”

Cheng Wei sighed and was noncommittal. Jean packed his luggage in the evening, but he didn't go back the next day, but took Zhou He to visit the streets and alleys of Y City. She also bought some gifts for Zhou He to take back to her roommate.

The two stayed in Y City for three days and returned to Yucheng in the evening. It was already past nine o'clock when they arrived in Yucheng, and Cheng Wei's driver came to pick them up.

Cheng Wei still had something to do, so he asked the driver to send Zhou He back to the apartment. He didn't reply, saying that there was something to be done with the company and that he would not be able to go back until later.

There was a car waiting for him on the side, and Zhou Ji didn't ask much and got into the car.

Running all the way back, it should be tiring. But she didn't feel sleepy at all, and school was about to start, so she simply took the book and sat in the living room to read.

When Cheng Wei came back, it was already past twelve o'clock, and he didn't drink, but his face was not good. Seeing that Zhou He didn't sleep, he asked why he didn't sleep, and then poured himself a glass of water.

His face was a little pale under the light, Zhou He put down the book in his hand and asked, "Are you uncomfortable?"

Cheng Wei sighed and said, "It's okay, my stomach is a little uncomfortable." ”

"I'm going to get some stomach medicine. Zhou He said and went to find the medicine box, and soon turned out the stomach medicine. poured water again and gave it to Cheng Wei.

Cheng Wei should have been very uncomfortable, but he didn't make any sound. After taking the medicine, he leaned back on the sofa and fell asleep.

He's been drinking, and he's drinking badly. After seeing him close his eyes, Zhou closed into the kitchen and boiled light porridge.

The stomach medicine didn't relieve Cheng Wei's stomach pain much, and dense sweat broke out on his forehead. Zhou He had never seen him hurt like this, and he refused to call an ambulance.

Cheng Wei, who was sick, was like a stubborn child, silently and silently. He will do whatever Zhou Herang does. After boiling the porridge, Zhou Hesheng came out, although he didn't have much appetite, he still ate it slowly.

After eating a bowl of hot porridge, his pale face finally had some blood. Zhou He didn't dare to give him any more medicine, and he couldn't find a hot water bottle, so he bottled hot water with mineral water and asked him to put it on his stomach to cover. Cheng Wei was disgusted, but he still took it, closed his eyes and curled up on the sofa.

Probably because of eating porridge, his pain gradually eased. People are also more energetic.

It's almost dawn, so it's a little tiring to toss around. Cheng Wei, who had eased the stomach pain, had a little toss, and pulled her to toss again when she went to bed, and this time she fell asleep deeply.

The next day, Cheng Wei was still going out, and Zhou He was reading the book. Cheng Wei had a stomach ache like that last night, and originally thought he would come back earlier in the evening. But no, he called in the afternoon, saying that there was something in the company tonight, he was working overtime, and he would not be able to go back until later.

He should have dealt with overtime casually, Zhou He was idle, and he made side dishes and made porridge. I'm going to send it to his company and let him come down and get it.

It was drizzling when Zhou He went out, she looked at the time, didn't go back to get her umbrella, and trotted all the way to the bus stop.

She originally planned to call him at the door of Cheng Wei's company, but it was raining, and she didn't want people to see it, so she went around to the entrance of the underground parking lot.

There should be only Cheng Wei who works overtime, and it has been past the end of work, and the whole building is quiet. The parking lot is similarly deserted.

She thought about going to the elevator to call Cheng Wei again, and when she got inside, she took out her mobile phone, only to find that there was no signal in the underground parking lot.

She reached out and rubbed her eyebrows, intending to go out and make a phone call and come back. As soon as he walked to the pillar next to him, there was a voice from the elevator, as if Cheng Wei had come down.

She stopped and waited for someone to come out. But the footsteps inside did not go out, and stopped.

Cheng Wei's voice rang out again, and said, "Have you dealt with everything over there?"

The man replied respectfully, "Deal with it quickly." He paused when he said this, looked at Cheng Wei, and said, "Those boys have a lot of appetite. ”

The voice is a bit like that of the man in gold wire glasses.

Cheng Wei obviously didn't care, took out a cigarette and lit it, with a faint expression on his face, and said, "Is it interesting if your appetite is too small?"

The man understood what he meant, and nodded. After hesitating for a moment, he said, "I'm afraid that it won't go as smoothly as we thought." ”

Cheng Wei spat out a puff of smoke, his handsome face was cold, and said, "You underestimate the greed of human nature too much. His tone was understated, but he was determined to win.

The man nodded and said, "I'll do as planned." ”

Cheng Wei snorted. After dusting off the ashes in his hand and about to go out, the man said in a deep voice: "The guy surnamed Ji over there on Hehuan Street, you have to be careful." His side has been very secretive lately, and he suffered a loss last time, so there should be action in the near future. Later when you go out you must bring small holes to them. ”

His tone was solemn.

Cheng Wei didn't care, and said, "I know, don't worry about this." I'm measured. His tone was nonchalant.

The man immediately said, "Don't take this lightly. I said at the beginning that you shouldn't show your face on Hop Huan Street and increase the danger. No one knows the surname Ji better than me, he is not an ordinary ruthless, you have to listen to me this time, don't go out alone......"

Before he could finish his words, there was a slight sound similar to the vibration of a mobile phone. Cheng Wei immediately sat down with a silent gesture and walked out quickly.

Standing outside was Zhou He, and Shu Hua called her. She had already cut it off immediately, but she didn't expect Cheng Wei to hear it.

He probably didn't expect it to be Zhou He, his eyes fell on the thermos bucket she was carrying, and asked casually, "Why didn't you call?"

He was casual, but the man with gold wire glasses had a sharp gaze, looking straight at Zhou He, as if he wanted to dissect her.

Zhou He knew from the beginning of the conversation between the two of them that he should not have listened to himself, lowered his head, and said, "I want to call, but when I come in, I find that there is no signal." Just getting ready to go out ......."

It meant that she heard everything she should have heard.

The man with gold wire glasses turned even colder, a sneer appeared on the corner of his lips, he took a step forward and said, "It seems that Miss Zhou came quite coincidentally." ”

He said word by word, obviously not believing Zhou He's words.

Cheng Wei's face remained unchanged, he took the thermos box in Zhou He's hand, looked at the time, and said to the man with gold wire glasses, "It's not early, you go back first." ”

His tone is irrefutable.

The man in gold-wire glasses glanced at Zhou He, turned on the car next to him, and quickly drove away.

There were only two people left in the entire parking lot for a while, Zhou He and Cheng Wei, and it was very quiet. She was silent for a while, and just as she wanted to say something, Cheng Wei opened the door of the car on the side, motioned for her to get into the car, and said, "Ah actually spoke rushed, don't pay attention to him." ”

The Ah in his mouth is actually the man with gold-wire glasses.

Zhou He was silent for a moment and said, "I didn't mean to. ”

Cheng Wei snorted, took the thermos box, and started the car. No one spoke for a while, the car drove out of the parking lot, and the rain was heavier than when Zhou He came, and it crackled on the car.

At this time, it was the time of traffic jam, and the front was already jammed into a sea of traffic. Cheng Wei took out a cigarette and smoked it.

The two didn't speak all the way, and when they returned to the apartment, Zhou He took out the porridge in the thermos box. It's still hot.

Cheng Wei was not in a hurry to eat, after washing his hands and smoking a cigarette, he sat down at the table and ate porridge.

Zhou He went to the kitchen to stand for a while, took his pajamas and went to wash.

When he came out, the dining table had been cleaned up, and Cheng Wei was sitting on the sofa watching the news boredly. He had something to say, but he didn't. It wasn't until Zhou He poured a glass of water and drank it to go back to the room that he said: "The door on the other side of the house is only uninstalled, and it can be done before school starts." ”

That's a tactful way to let her go.

Zhou He's body stiffened slightly, and he nodded in response.

Cheng Wei didn't speak again, and his eyes moved back to the TV. Zhou He returned to the room, closed the door and leaned against the door, and stood with his eyes closed. She still didn't move, like a sculpture.

I don't know how long it took, but she reopened the door. The lights and TV in the living room were turned off, except for the flickering fireworks on the balcony.

Zhou He walked over, and the slippers stepped on the ground silently, I don't know if Cheng Wei noticed him, and he didn't look back.

Zhou He walked behind him, stretched out his hand to wrap around him from behind, and said in a low voice, "I'm not leaving." ”

Cheng Wei's body stiffened, took Zhou He's hand away, turned around, dusted off the fireworks in his hand, and said slowly: "Didn't you hear it all in the afternoon?" After a slight pause, his eyes looked at Zhou He, and said, "Ah He, you should know that I am not a good match." That night, I drank, it was me who was impulsive. ”

His tone was cold and unsentimental.

Zhou He stood still, and after a while, he looked at him and said softly, "What about when you didn't drink?"

probably didn't expect her to ask this, Cheng Wei quickly looked away, and said casually: "Don't you know that men are the same?"

The cheap delivery in front of you is not who will not take advantage of Megumi Yanagishita.

This is a bit hurtful. The room was quiet for a while.

When Cheng Wei thought that Zhou He couldn't speak, he heard her say, "I won't go." Her voice was soft and firm.

Cheng Wei didn't expect her to insist, his expression was cold, and he said, "Okay, if you want to live here, it's up to you." ”

He didn't plan to dwell on it, so he snuffed out the cigarette butt in his hand and went back to his room. As soon as she was about to cross Zhou He, she grabbed her hand tightly. She raised a pair of clear and bright eyes to look at him, and said, "Cheng Wei, I want to be with you." No matter what the future holds, I am not afraid and I will not regret it. ”

Her eyes were firm, like the stars in the sky in the faint light.

Cheng Wei's body stiffened slightly, and he looked back at her. A little playfulness appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he said, "Do you know what you're talking about? How can you be sure that you won't regret it? How old are you? Nineteen or twenty?"

There was a hint of mockery in his tone.

Zhou He met his gaze and said, "I'm not a child, and I know very well what I'm talking about now." ”

Her tone was serious. A pair of eyes were so clear that Cheng Wei didn't dare to look directly at her.

He fell silent for a moment and said, "If you follow me, you may be in danger at any time. I may not be able to take care of you. ”

"I'll protect myself. Zhou He said seriously, paused, and said, "You don't have to worry about me." ”

Cheng Wei didn't speak anymore now, and after a long time, he shook Zhou He's hand that was holding him cold, his voice softened, and said, "It's not early, go to sleep first, I'll take a bath." ”

He compromised.

Zhou He's nose was already sour, and he didn't let go of him, hugged her, and buried his face in his chest.

Cheng Wei's body stiffened slightly, reached out and patted her head, and said with a low smile: "Wasn't it quite able to say just now? ”

Zhou He didn't speak, just hugged him tightly.

Cheng Wei let her hold her, and after five or six minutes, he whispered, "Wash together?"

He didn't give Zhou He a chance to repent, and directly hugged her horizontally. Carried into the bathroom.

He was rough tonight, and he turned on the hot water and ripped off Zhou He's clothes

Wear. Fierce demanding. Heavy wheezing was drowned out by the sound of rushing water.

Zhou He was insecure, so tired that he wanted to fall asleep, but he still didn't forget to drag Cheng Wei tightly.

It was early in the morning, and Cheng Wei wanted to reach out for the cigarette on the bedside, but he didn't get it. He reached out and hugged the slender man under the quilt. It wasn't until Zhou He made an even breathing sound that he withdrew his hand, got out of bed in his slippers, and went out with the door.

It was dark in the living room, and he went out onto the balcony, grabbed a cigarette, and smoked it. He stood for more than an hour, opened the window and waited for the smell of smoke on his body to dissipate, and then went back to the bedroom and lay down.

His body was cold, and he didn't go next to Zhou He. Who knew that she seemed to have sensed it, and she got into his arms. Face pressed against his chest.

Cheng Wei gently patted her back and closed her eyes.

Zhou He didn't sleep well this night, and when she woke up the next morning and saw Cheng Wei sleeping on the side, she breathed a sigh of relief. just motionlessly looked at Cheng Wei's quiet sleeping face.

She was in a trance, and closed her eyes after a long time. Tightly tugging at his hand under the quilt.

When she woke up, she couldn't sleep, her mind was empty, and she didn't know what she was thinking.
