Chapter 54: Can't you be friends after breaking up?
Xu Yuanning was about to step forward, but Zhou He had reached out and grabbed her finger and pressed it down little by little. Looking up at Xie Yao's delicate but distorted face, he smiled faintly and said, "I am indeed poor and sour, but I have nothing to be ashamed of." The elders of the family once taught that money has to be earned with both hands. Sorry, it didn't go as you wanted, and you wasted all your time. ”
At this time, I don't know who has taken Senior Brother Qiu upstairs and taken Xie Yao's computer down.
As soon as Xie Yao saw the computer, she went crazy, rushed over, and shouted hysterically, saying, "Who let you touch my computer?" She was a little at a loss, looked back at Xu Yuanning, and complained: "Senior Brother Xu, they want to join forces to wronged me." ”
Zhou He didn't even want to look at it, and said to Senior Brother Qiu, "Senior brother, give it back to her." ”
Nowadays, it doesn't make sense to look at the computer or not.
No matter how sluggish Senior Brother Qiu was, he knew that this matter was caused by Xu Yuanning, but he still didn't say anything, and returned the notebook to Xie Yao.
Xie Yao immediately hugged the notebook tightly, as if she was afraid of being snatched away by someone.
Zhou He didn't look any further and squeezed out the crowd.
She had just left the school gate with her front foot, and Senior Brother Qiu followed her with her back foot. He probably had an accident in Zhouhe, laughed dryly, and said, "Later, your Senior Brother Xu will come out and teach him a good lesson for you." ”
Zhou He shook his head with a smile and said, "It has nothing to do with Senior Brother Xu. ”
Not to mention Xu Yuanning, even she didn't expect it to be Xie Yao at all.
"It doesn't matter, he likes to laugh at people when he has nothing to do, and this time something happened to laugh, right? I want to see him laugh again in the future, and I'll sew his mouth up." Senior Brother Qiu said righteously. He said and looked at Zhou He's face cautiously, and asked, "Are you going to forget it like this?"
This incident has been made so far, and she will be regarded as a 'celebrity' in the school in the future. Zhou He naturally knew what he meant, she shook her head and said, "After all, there are roommates." ”
Senior Brother Qiu didn't speak again.
The two stood at the school gate for a while, and Senior Brother Qiu's phone rang. It was Xu Yuanning who called, he said the location, and Xu Yuanning ran out after a while.
He was guilty, and as soon as he saw Zhou He, he said, "Ahe, I'm sorry......"
Zhou He smiled and said, "Okay, senior brother, you're flying into trouble." You've been helping out these days, and I didn't have dinner well tonight. What does Senior Brother Qiu want to eat?"
Senior Brother Qiu laughed hesitantly and said, "Go back to your Senior Brother Xu and eat, it's a waste if you don't finish eating." Oh yes, bring some skewers, this must be invited by your Senior Brother Xu. Whoever made him a curse. ”
Xu Yuanning didn't have an opinion and went to grill skewers.
The night view of Xu Yuanning's apartment was very beautiful, and the three of them had dinner, and they sat on the ground by the window without even cleaning up, picked up a beer and drank it.
Senior Brother Qiu has a lot of words, and he has been chattering. Zhou He listened with a smile, in a daze from time to time.
After drinking several cans of beer in a row, Senior Brother Qiu smiled and said, "Little Senior Sister, you have to do me a favor next week." ”
Zhou He was distracted just now, and he didn't know where he and Xu Yuanning were talking about. This time he looked up at Xu Yuanning.
Xu Yuanning smiled and said, "Your Senior Brother Qiu's girlfriend is coming next week." ”
Zhou He sighed, his mind was foggy, and said, "When did Senior Brother Qiu have a girlfriend?" She had never heard of this at all, she always thought that Senior Brother Qiu was single.
"Your Senior Brother Qiu is in a long-distance relationship. It's been talking about it for a few years. It's been kept in such a tight silence that none of us have ever seen it. Xu Yuanning said teasingly.
Senior Brother Qiu scratched his hair uncomfortably and said, "Won't we be able to see you next week?" Little Senior Sister, I don't know what girls like, so you have to help me come up with ideas when the time comes. There are also some attractions nearby, you can get a guide, and I will take her to play when the time comes. ”
These are just trivial things, and Zhou Heying nodded in response.
Senior Brother Qiu was very proud, and came up with the intention of drinking, stretched out his hand to pat Zhou He's street, and said, "Little junior sister, there's nothing to be afraid of falling out of love." Don't think about it. Senior brother sues you, just like you, put it in our place, and the whole village and the young men in the village will have to go to your house to propose marriage. Don't be discouraged, wait, when Senior Brother goes back this year, I'll bring a bunch of young men with you to pick and choose!"
His voice was imposing.
Zhou He couldn't help laughing and said, "Then I'll thank Senior Brother first." ”
Xu Yuanning was not angry, stretched out his foot and kicked Senior Brother Qiu, and said, "If you are drunk, go in and sleep." ”
Senior Brother Qiu laughed, and just as he wanted to say that he was not drunk, the phone in his trouser pocket rang. He took out the phone, and immediately showed a flattering smile on his face, and called his daughter-in-law to go to the guest room crookedly.
Only Xu Yuanning and Zhou He were left in the living room, and they suddenly quieted down.
Xu Yuanning coughed lightly and said, "Don't listen to your Senior Brother Qiu's nonsense. ”
Zhou He looked at the lights in the distance, took a sip of beer, smiled slightly, and said, "Senior Brother Xu, I am very lucky that you met you and Senior Brother Qiu." ”
But no, whether it was Aunt Qi's surgery or trivial matters, they all helped her.
"Ahe, you're welcome. Xu Yuanning said softly. He wanted to speak again and again, but finally asked, "Are you okay during this time?"
Zhou He's hand on the beer can stiffened slightly, looked sideways at the night outside the window, smiled, and said, "It's good, the sky hasn't fallen, has it?"
Her tone was lighthearted. Xu Yuanning smiled and nodded, and drank the beer in silence.
The two didn't speak for a while, just sat silently.
The next day, when Zhou He got out of class, he saw Ren Yurong standing outside. She walked out of the classroom until everyone was gone.
Compared with last time, Ren Yurong's face softened a little, looked at Zhou He, and said, "Everything has been dealt with?"
He's been following it all along.
After last night, those posts on the forum have been deleted. Although Xie Yao had seen her in the future, she also posted an apology on the forum.
Zhou He nodded and said, "It's done." Thank you. ”
Her tone was polite and detached.
Ren Yurong was not as annoyed as last time, took a deep breath, and said, "I'm sorry, as a father, I'm not qualified. Nor are you qualified to forgive us. At that time, your mother and I were arguing all day, and we didn't take measures in time to get you to run away from home......"
Before he finished speaking, Zhou He looked up at him, smiled, and said, "Are you here to repent?" I've never hated you. On the contrary, I am grateful to you for giving me life. After a slight pause, she said lightly: "When people are young, it is inevitable to make mistakes. I'm glad I realized early on that I was the fruit of the mistake. did not become a drag oil bottle for the two, nor did it drag down the good years of the two. As you can see, I'm doing pretty well right now. Thank you for believing in me, and in the future, you will not come again. ”
After she finished speaking, she stopped looking at Ren Yurong, and passed by him with a book.
Ren Yurong opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't make any sound. watched Zhou He's back go farther and farther until it became a black dot.
Shu Hua's flower shop opened outside the store, and because the price was affordable, the business in the store was quite good. Because it was the first time to do business, he was in a hurry at first, and Zhou He ran to her side as long as he got out of class to help. It's been smooth sailing.
On Friday afternoon, Zhou He received a call from Xu Yuanning, asking where she was.
Zhou He said that he was in the flower shop.
Xu Yuanning hung up the phone directly, and came over with Senior Sister Yin Xue after a while.
Zhou He was a little surprised when he saw the two of them, put down the work in his hand, and asked, "Senior sister, why did you come here, Senior Brother Xu?"
Yin Xue looked into the store and asked with a smile, "The store isn't busy now, is it?"
"It's okay, it's not busy. Zhou He replied.
Yin Xue stretched out her hand and hooked her neck, and said, "It's okay not to be busy, go take off your apron and go with Senior Sister and I." ”
I don't know what's going on. Zhou He didn't ask much, took off his apron and went in to say hello to Shu Hua, and then came out in a hurry.
Yin Xue directly took her to the side of the road to stop the car, Zhou He was a little puzzled, and couldn't help asking, "Senior sister, where are we going?"
Yin Xue winked at her and said, "Go to the mall." The professor is going to take us out today to learn more, so he pulled out a sum of money and handed it to me, so that we can all pick out a suit. ”
Zhou Yi was stunned, touched his nose, and said, "Do you want to be so grand?"
"It's not very grand, but it can't be like this T-shirt jeans in the past. Do as the locals do. Yin Xue said.
Zhou He touched his nose again, smiled wryly, looked behind him and saw that there was no car coming, so he said, "Can I not go......?"
Before she could say the excuse she was looking for, Yin Xue slapped her and said hatefully: "You are stupid, you can't ask for it to follow Professor Xu out to see more people." Even if you look for a job in the future, it will be easier to find it. ”
Zhou Ji didn't like socializing, and he didn't think about it at all. laughed dryly, and said again and again: "I'll go, I'll go." ”
Yin Xue was satisfied.
The two went to the mall, but Xu Yuanning didn't follow him. Zhou He almost never bought a skirt, and he never paid attention to what he worn, so he didn't know what to buy at all. Most of the time, Yin Xue is picking. In the end, I picked out a long dress with floral flowers in bright yellow.
Zhou He hadn't worn a skirt in many years, and he didn't feel comfortable anywhere now. Yin Xue was very satisfied, and said, "You have white skin, it's just right to wear this." You see how discerning I am. ”
Zhou He was awkward and said, "Can't you just wear my original one?"
"Of course not. Yin Xue replied without thinking about it, and taught again: "Girls must learn to dress themselves up and respect youth." T-shirts and jeans every day, that is a waste of youthful skin. ”
Zhou He didn't dare to argue with her, so he quietly stuck out his tongue and said again and again: "Senior sister is right, senior sister is right." ”
Yin Xue was satisfied, knowing that Zhou He couldn't wear high heels, so she took her to choose flat heels.
Waiting for Zhou He's pick, she went to pick her own. This pick took more than an hour, and if it weren't for Professor Xu's limited funds, she estimated that she would have to take half of the mall away. In the end, Xu Yuanning called and said that she was already waiting for them in the parking lot of the mall, and she was reluctant to give up.
Xu Yuanning came by car, and it was rare to see Zhou He wearing a skirt, so he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. Senior Sister Yin threw a wink at her and said, "How about junior brother, my vision is good, right?"
Xu Yuanning coughed lightly and said, "Of course." He said very gentlemanly and opened the car door for Yin Xue and Zhou He.
There was no one in the car, so there was no need for Zhou He to ask, Xu Yuanning explained first: "Professor Xu, they have already gone first, and I was ordered to come here to pick you two up." ”
Yin Xue laughed and said, "I didn't expect the two of us to have this treatment." ”
This is not the first time Yin Xue has gone to this kind of social occasion, let Zhou He eat and drink, they are all small shrimps, and no one will notice them at all.
Even if the bigwigs have something to talk about, they won't talk to them. They are purely from the past, and they have a long knowledge of making soy sauce and filling their stomachs.
Xu Yuanning laughed when he heard her say this, and also said to Zhou He: "Senior Sister Yin summed it up very well. ”
The atmosphere in the car was relaxed.
By the time they got there, Professor Xu, they had already arrived. After greeting Professor Xu, the group entered the hall.
Professor Xu knew a lot of people, and there were people who greeted him all the way. When he got to the banquet hall, he didn't care about them at all.
Then the group followed him with an eye-catcher, and after following him for a while, Professor Xu let them disperse. Xu Yuanning and another senior brother in charge of the core of the project were left to follow him.
Yin Xue was already familiar with this kind of occasion, and took Zhou He to eat. When the party and dance began, Yin Xue was invited to dance by her fellow brothers. Leave Zhou Yiren in the corner.
There were also strange men who came to invite her, but she refused on the excuse that she wouldn't be.
After sitting for a while, she was a little thirsty, and she was about to get some drink, but just as she stood up, she saw Tan Ziran holding Ren Yurong's arm and walking over here.
Zhou He didn't expect them to come at all, so he didn't go any further, and took advantage of their lack of attention to go around outside.
Outside is a wide balcony that stretches out, and beyond is a huge swimming pool, sparkling in the lights. It's much quieter outside than it is inside.
Zhou Ji was not suitable for this kind of occasion, and quietly sighed.
The dance party inside was in full swing, and there was no one outside, Zhou He was about to find a corner to sit in for a while, and when he turned around and was about to walk to the corner on the right, he saw a person sitting by the pillar smoking a cigarette.
The light outside was dim, and she hadn't noticed it just now.
The sound of her footsteps also startled the seated man, and he looked up. Cheng Wei was still the usual lazy and lazy look, and he raised his eyebrows slightly when he saw Zhou He. Suddenly, he chuckled and said, "Little Ahe, come here." ”
He didn't know if he had drunk too much and looked like he didn't have anything to do.
Zhou He's footsteps paused and did not pass.
Cheng Wei didn't move, just raised his eyebrows and looked at her like that.
Zhou He stood in place, and after a while, he said lightly: "I don't know what happened to Mr. Cheng?"
Cheng Wei chuckled, put the cigarette to his lips and took a puff, chuckled, and said, "Little Ahe, don't be so serious." Even if we break up, can't we be friends?"
He was lazy and lazy, and his tone was nonchalant, obviously not taking the breakup seriously.
The corners of Zhou He's lips hooked up with some sarcasm, and his tone was still light, and he said: "Mr. Cheng has promoted me, a poor student like me, I'm afraid I can't be friends with Mr. Cheng." ”
Cheng Wei stopped talking now, and looked at her sideways, as if he was thinking about something.
Zhou Ji didn't stay any longer, and then said, "If Mr. Cheng is okay, I'll leave first." ”
She was polite and polite, detached as if she were a stranger.
Cheng Wei leaned back lazily, didn't speak, just looked at her.
Zhou He turned around and went back to the hall as if he hadn't noticed his gaze at all.
When she went back, Yin Xue had already finished dancing and was looking for her everywhere. Seeing her walking over quickly with her skirt, she said, "Where have you been, Senior Brother Xu was still looking for you just now." ”
Zhou He squeezed out a smile and said, "It's a little boring, go out and breathe for a while." ”
Yin Xue nodded and said, "Do you want to dance too?"
Zhou He shook his head and said with a reluctant smile: "No, I'm ...... Not very skilled. ”
Yin Xue didn't force her, and said, "Then don't run around, just stay here." I'll call you later when I leave. ”
Zhou He nodded in response, and Yin Xue quickly disappeared into the crowd.
Knowing that there were acquaintances here, Zhou He stopped walking around and sat in the corner. Xu Yuanning came to find him later, and she stayed by his side all the time and never stayed alone again.
Professor Xu came here to attract investment, and Xu Yuanning and the senior brother both drank a lot of wine.
Later, a few people were resting in the corner, and Xu Yuanning asked softly, "Professor Ren is also here, have you met him?"
Zhou He didn't hide it from him, nodded, and said, "I saw it from afar before." ”
This means that they did not see her.
Xu Yuanning nodded and said, "I'll excuse myself to go to the bathroom later, and we'll leave later." "He obviously can't drive a car like this, so he can only call a substitute driver.
Zhou He smiled at this time and said, "Senior brother, you think too much, it's okay for me." ”
When he said that, he obviously wanted to avoid Ren Yurong and his wife, for fear that Zhou He would be willing to meet.
Xu Yuanning sighed, thought for a while, and suddenly said, "Ahe, you are really stubborn." ”
But no, as long as she is willing to go back to Ren's house, she doesn't have to work as hard as she does now. Ren Yurong owes her a debt and will definitely compensate her.
Zhou He looked up at the hall where Yan Yan smiled, lowered his head and looked at the shadow, and said with a faint smile: "Senior brother, whether it was before or now, I am superfluous. ”
Yes, both Ren Yurong and her mother have a new family. Her existence was originally superfluous.
Her voice was soft.
Xu Yuanning's heart ached, and he turned his face to the side and stopped talking. After a while, he forced a smile and talked about something else.
His change of topic was a bit blunt, and Zhou He was willing to cooperate, smiling and nodding or echoing a few sentences.
When it was time to leave, Xu Yuanning really didn't go with Professor Xu, saying that he was going to the bathroom and avoided everyone. Because he also drank alcohol, Professor Xu was not at ease with him, and asked Zhou He and Yin Xue and a senior brother who had not drunk to stay and wait for him.
Xu Yuanning looked fine, but he seemed to vomit and stayed in the bathroom for a long time before coming out.
He called the substitute driver early, but when he arrived at the side of the car, he found that the substitute driver had not yet come. So several people waited in the parking lot.
Xu Yuanning looked at it, although it was fine, his face was red. Zhou He went to the opposite side to buy water while standing, and took a bottle by himself.
Xu Yuanning leaned on the car with his eyes closed, and when it was his turn, Zhou He first opened the bottle cap, then handed it to him, and said, "Senior brother, drink some water." ”
Xu Yuanning opened his eyes and said thank you, junior sister. When it was time to pick up the water in Zhou He's hand, his hand paused. I looked at the exit of the hotel.
Zhou He subconsciously followed his gaze and looked over, Cheng Wei was standing not far away, and he was also casually sweeping to this side. Seeing Zhou He also look over, the corners of his lips seemed to be smiling. He put the cigarette in his hand to his lips and smoked it.
Zhou He quickly retracted his gaze, and he didn't know if it was intentional, but Cheng Wei actually walked over.
His face was quite eye-catching, Yin Xue touched Zhou He with her elbow on the side, and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Look at the handsome guy." ”
Xu Yuanning's whole body was tense, and his face was not much better. blocked in front of Zhou He without a trace, and looked at Cheng Wei vigilantly.
Cheng Wei's tie was crooked, and the suit was not elegantly draped on his body. walked over, his eyes swept over Xu Yuanning, and asked casually, "Xu Gongzi and others?"
He can really do it like nobody.
Xu Yuanning didn't answer his words, and said in an understated tone: "Mr. Cheng hasn't left yet?"
Cheng Wei's gaze swept over Zhou He behind him, spat out a puff of smoke, and said, "Isn't this also waiting for someone?"
His driver hasn't come yet.
Xu Yuanning nodded and stopped talking.
Cheng Wei didn't stay long, his eyes swept over Zhou He, and went to the car next to him.
Only then did Zhou He notice that his car was parked next door to them.
Because of Cheng Wei's presence, the atmosphere was much stiffer. Fortunately, the driver rushed over not long after, and said sorry again and again, saying that there was a car accident on the road and the traffic jam delayed the time.
Xu Yuanning didn't say anything, opened the door behind him and let Zhou He get into the car first.
In the car next to him, the fireworks in Cheng Wei's hands flickered and flickered.
Yin Xue's nerves were a little big, and she didn't notice that something was wrong just now, as soon as the car drove away, she said with a gossipy face: "That person just now is really handsome, I have never seen such a good-looking man." ”
She looked like a nymphomaniac, and after speaking, she looked at Xu Yuanning in front of her and asked, "Senior Brother Xu, do you know that person?"
She really can't open any pot.
"I don't know each other, I've met once before. Xu Yuanning's tone was very light. Originally, I wanted to see Zhouhe, but in the end I didn't look back.
Zhou He at the back was as usual, and there was no wave on his face.
