Chapter Seventy-Six: On the Cusp

It's raining outside, but it's probably nothing, and Cheng Wei hasn't been anywhere that day. Nest at home and accompany Zhou He to read a book. He is addicted to coffee, although he doesn't have a stomachache anymore, Zhou He still doesn't let him drink coffee, only boiled water.

At noon, someone brought him materials, and he looked at them. And Zhou He went to the kitchen to cook. She still did it lightly, only letting him drink porridge to nourish his stomach three times a day.

The day passed quickly, and in the evening, the two of them had their own time, and Zhou He snuggled in his arms and watched a movie on the sofa.

The movie is an American drama, and both the male and female protagonists are killers. The male protagonist killed the female protagonist by mistake in an operation, and finally jumped off the bridge to die for his love.

The plot is mainly suspenseful, and the emotional line is very light. Even so, Zhou He still cried profusely when he saw the end. She didn't make a sound of crying, just her eyes were red and swollen, and she used a lot of tissues.

Cheng Wei was a little funny, took out a tissue to wipe her tears and snot for her, and said, "It's just a movie, what's there to cry about." Don't cry. ”

His voice was gentle. Zhou He gradually stopped after a long while, she was a little uncomfortable, buried her face in Cheng Wei's chest and didn't move.

A soft smile appeared on the corner of Cheng Wei's mouth, and he gently patted her back. waited for her to really calm down, then let go of her and let her wash her face. And he went to the kitchen to boil an egg for her to put on her eyes, in case her eyes were swollen when she woke up tomorrow morning.

Such a night is peaceful, Zhou He couldn't sleep when he went to bed early, and he played a game with him in the quilt, and I don't know when I fell asleep.

Time flies quickly, and school starts in a flash. Cheng Wei wanted to go on a business trip, so he had to send Zhou He to school first, but Zhou He didn't let him, saying that he would go over. She knew what Cheng Wei was worried about, and said, "I hardly leave school, and nothing will happen." ”

In the past, because Aunt Qi was there, she had to go back once a week. Now that Aunt Qi is gone, she will be alone when she goes back. I think I will only go back for a long time during the holidays.

Cheng Wei didn't insist, nodded, and said, "Call me if you have something." ”

His people soon came to pick him up and take him to the airport, and Zhou He insisted on watching him get on the bus and leave, and then went to the side of the road to take the bus.

The dormitory was lively at the beginning of the school year, and several roommates brought special products over and gave them to each other. However, in just one month, Zhouhe seemed to be as long as a whole century. When I was in the dormitory, I felt a little strange.

The sound of He Mi's chirping dispelled some of the loneliness, and she cheered up and began to make up her bed. In the evening, the dormitory had dinner outside, and I didn't come back until ten o'clock. Cheng Wei called her at eight o'clock, but she didn't hear it, she originally wanted to call back at this time, but she didn't know if he was resting or not, and finally didn't call, just sent him a simple good night.

The first week of school is busy, and Professor Xu has a lot of things to do, and many trivial matters for the senior brothers and sisters to graduate fall on her.

Zhou He's phone rang as soon as he came out of the cafeteria on Friday evening, and it was an unfamiliar number. She motioned to He Mi, who was traveling with her, to go upstairs first, picked up the phone, and fed her.

The voice on the other end of the phone was cold and indifferent, and said, "I'm Li Jing, Mr. Cheng will come back tonight, let me come and pick you up." ”

Zhou Yiyi didn't react to who Li actually was, and after a while, he remembered what Cheng Wei said that day, and was stunned for a moment, and said: "I'll just go over by myself, I still have to go to the dormitory to get something......"

Before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by Li Jing, and his tone was impatient, saying, "I'll wait for you at the traffic light opposite the school." ”

He hung up the phone straight away.

Zhou He pursed his lips slightly, looked at the time, and quickly went upstairs.

Rao is her movements are fast, and the past tense is still about twenty minutes later. Li was still wearing the pair of gold-rimmed glasses, and he saw a little ridicule at the corners of her lips. Apparently haunted by what she heard them say that day.

Even so, he still opened the car door when Zhou He got to the side. Zhou He whispered thank you, and then got into the car.

The atmosphere in the car was also dreary, and after getting into the car, he took out a cigarette and lit it.

After driving the car for a while, he glanced at Zhou He from the rearview mirror with compassion, and said with a smile: "I can't see it, Miss Zhou is quite bold." After a slight pause, he continued: "It seems that Miss Zhou was not frightened that day on Hehuan Street. ”

He also meant that Zhou Hedu heard their conversation and was still dangling in front of them. is obviously dissatisfied with her and Cheng Wei together.

Zhou He didn't know what to say, so he was silent and didn't speak.

Li Jing glanced at her sympathetically from the rearview mirror again, and said, "I hope Miss Zhou will keep in mind the 'accident' in the parking lot that day." The biggest advantage of me is that I have a good memory, and if I have a ...... next time," he snorted twice when he said this, and said with a smile: "I'm afraid I don't know what I'll do." Mr. Cheng has a lot of things, and I'm afraid he can't always notice Miss Zhou's movements. ”

He was a naked threat. A sneer appeared on the corner of his lips, and after speaking, he looked at the road ahead and stopped talking.

Instead of sending Zhou He back to his apartment, he took Zhou He to a restaurant in the city. He booked a private room, but before Cheng Wei came over, he stood at the door of the private room.

The waiter quickly brought a few desserts, but Zhou Ji did not eat them. I don't know when Cheng Wei will come over, she picked up the book and flipped through it.

Li actually stood at the door, looking at her with a gloomy head from time to time, as if she didn't notice, and she didn't raise her head.

After waiting for more than half an hour, Cheng Wei came over.

Seeing that he had changed his face, Li called Mr. Cheng respectfully and said, "Miss Zhou has been here for a while." ”

Cheng Wei nodded, let him go down, and then entered the private room.

Zhou He had already put down the book and stood up, Cheng Wei was dusty, threw his suit aside, and said, "Have you waited for a long time? ”

"I've only been here for a while. Zhou He said, pouring him a cup of tea.

There was a place between the two, Cheng Wei sat down, hooked the corners of his lips, and said, "Come here." ”

His voice was low and deep, and it was unusually pleasant. Zhou He's face turned slightly red uncontrollably. When he arrived at the position next to Cheng Wei, he was about to sit down, but he grabbed his waist and sat on his lap.

I haven't seen him for a whole week, he is about to move, his big palm is tightly pressed against Zhou He's slender waist, he chuckles, and asks, "Do you miss me?"

He said as he held Zhou He's head with one hand and kissed her on the lips.

The waiter will come in at any time, Zhou He is worried, staggered a little, and whispered: "Someone will come." ”

Cheng Wei didn't care, and bit her lip harder. It was as if he was going to rub her into his body.

Zhou He's mind was dazed, and it wasn't until there was a knock on the door outside that she suddenly came back to her senses, jumped up in a panic, and sat down next to her. A face was as red as a ripe shrimp.

Cheng Wei was very calm, chuckled, and called in.

Li had already arranged it, and it was the waiter who came in to serve the food, put down the dishes one after another, and then left quickly.

was almost bumped into by someone, and Zhou He never looked up. Waiting for the waiters to leave, Cheng Wei chuckled and said, "Everyone is gone, let's eat." ”

As he spoke, he put a ball in Zhouhe's bowl.

Zhou He came from eating from school, and said slowly: "I have eaten, I am still full, not hungry." ”

Cheng Wei ignored it at all, put half a bowl of chicken soup into her bowl, and said, "Eat more, you can't be too thin." When he said this, he swept Zhou He's chest, chuckled, and said, "Especially eat more meat, how can you grow meat without eating meat." ”

His expression was narrow, and he deliberately accentuated his tone when he spoke of meat.

Where did Zhou He think that he would say such a rogue remark at such a time, and his face turned even redder. Afraid that he would make any more surprising remarks, he quickly picked up his chopsticks and ate with his head bored.

After eating, Cheng Wei didn't let anyone send it again, it was his own car.

After eating, he was much more relaxed, and the tiredness between his eyebrows dissipated a little, and he played soft music, and asked, "What have you done this week?"

"Didn't do anything, it was all trivial. Zhou He replied, looked up at him again, and asked, "Is the business trip going well?"

Cheng Wei nodded, sighed, and said, "It's okay." He tapped his fingers on the steering wheel a few times and asked, "Where do you want to go tomorrow weekend?"

Zhou He hadn't been back to the house for a while, so he said, "I want to go back and clean up the house." ”

"That's fine. In the past, if there was anything I wasn't satisfied with, I asked someone to get it together. ”

Cheng Wei was very gentlemanly in the car, and when he got out of the car, he kissed Zhou He at the elevator entrance. There was no one all the way, and when the door was opened, he pressed her against the door and ripped off her clothes.

Cheng Wei was originally going to go back to the house with Zhou He the next day, but there was something temporary, so he sent her over and left. Let her leave and call the driver and ask the driver to come and pick her up.

Zhou Hecheng responded, watched the car disappear into the alley, and then entered the yard.

In fact, she didn't need to clean it up at all, Cheng Wei should have ordered it, and the yard was neatly tidied up. Even the flowers and plants are well cared for.

Nothing has changed except that the gate has been changed, surveillance has been installed, and the fence has been reinforced, and nothing has changed when she left. In the closed door of the house, it seemed that Aunt Qi would come out at any time.

Zhou He's heart ached sharply, saying that he had come to clean up, but in the end he didn't sit on anything. I sat in the yard for an afternoon. She didn't even dare to go into the house.

It wasn't until Cheng Wei called in the evening that she cheered up.

When Cheng Wei came over, it was already completely dark, Zhou He didn't wait for him in the house, but walked to the bus stop outside, the sky was still a little cold, and her hands were frozen.

Cheng Wei knew that she remembered Aunt Qi, and held her hand tightly. Zhou Hexiang squeezed out a smile, but in the end he couldn't squeeze it out and closed his eyes.

At night, Zhou He still couldn't sleep, Cheng Wei opened a glass of red wine, and the two sat with their backs against the glass of the balcony and drank slowly, and no one spoke.

Xu Yuanning didn't know what he was busy with, there was nothing to do with the company, and Zhou He had never seen him. It wasn't until half a month after the start of school that I saw him in the cafeteria.

He was busy, and greeted the people who came with him, and then sat down opposite Zhou He with a plate.

Zhou He pushed the soup he had called and asked him, "Has Senior Brother been busy lately?"

Professor Xu didn't see him for a while.

Xu Yuanning smiled helplessly and said, "I'm not very busy." There was something going on at home, so I took a leave of absence and just came back yesterday. ”

Zhou He had seen Senior Brother Qiu, but he hadn't heard of it at all, so he was stunned and asked, "What's the matter?"

Xu Yuanning obviously didn't plan to talk about this topic, and said: "It's nothing, it's all trivial." ”

Zhou He knew not to ask, so he nodded and didn't ask again.

Xu Yuanning took a bite of food and asked, "What about you, how are you doing, are you busy?"

Zhou He said that it was okay now.

Xu Yuanning nodded, not knowing what he remembered, and looked up at Zhou He again. After a pause, he hesitated and said, "You all live in the school, do you want to rent out the house?" You can rent the downstairs, keep the upstairs room, and you can live if you want to go back." ”

Zhou He is still working part-time, but because he is not as busy as before. This suggestion was made out of consideration for her life. After renting out, at least she doesn't have to run around for living expenses.

Zhou He shook his head almost without thinking about it, and said, "I will go back occasionally, and I don't plan to rent." ”

Renting to someone else, whether it is the house or the yard, it is inevitable that there will be changes. She wanted to keep all the traces of Aunt Qi's time in the original.

Xu Yuanning knew what she was thinking, and said in a low voice: "Ahe, Aunt Qi doesn't want to see you like this." ”

Zhou He buried his head and didn't speak.

Xu Yuanning continued: "She must hope that you are well." His voice was soft.

Zhou He's hand holding the chopsticks stiffened, and he continued to eat.

For the rest of the day, neither of them spoke. It wasn't until he finished eating that Zhou He greeted Xu Yuanning and left.

Xu Yuanning watched her figure disappear into the crowd in a hurry, and she didn't move for a while.

Probably wanting to keep himself busy, Zhou He's time was spent in the library except for Professor Xu's side. There are also several other materials, and sometimes when the lights are turned off in the dormitory, she is still reading books or memorizing words with a flashlight.

She had just sat down in the library that day, and a few of the girls next to her whispered.

The girl with long hair and light makeup looked at her and said, "See, I heard that she is Professor Ren's daughter." ”

Although her voice was low, it was quiet in the library, and Zhou He still heard it. Her body stiffened slightly.

This kind of gossip is always welcome, and the eyes of several girls fell on her, and another baby-faced girl said, "No." How could she be Professor Ren's daughter. Hasn't she always been working part-time? I've heard that Professor Ren has a lot of background, so how can her daughter go around doing part-time work?"

The long-haired goddess snorted and said, "You have all seen Professor Ren's wife, right? I heard that she was dissatisfied with Professor Ren's marriage, and she broke off her relationship with Professor Ren. ”

"Ah......h

Someone immediately asked, "How do you know this?"

The long-haired girl said: "You don't care about this, it was revealed by a person in the know, anyway, it's quite reliable, I don't think it should be fake." She is really stubborn, Professor Ren has long been divorced, she is handsome and knowledgeable, she can't always stay unmarried, right?"

"yes. She often works part-time, making herself pitiful, I think she just wants to slap Professor Ren in the face. Tsk, bitter meat trick, it's really enough to do. The other interjected.

Probably because he was afraid that Zhou He would hear it, a few people gossiped a few words and left with the books one after another.

Zhou He sat in his seat and did not move, and it took a long time before he began to read the book.

She didn't pay much attention to it, but it wasn't as simple as she thought. When I walked out of the library and walked around the campus, I would look at her from time to time, and I would take it back immediately after seeing it, and then whisper something.

Zhou He was greeted by a lot of salutes all the way from the library to the dormitory, and when she entered the dormitory, He Mi pulled her to the computer and said, "Ahe, come and see this." ”

Zhou He wondered what to see, and when he arrived in front of the computer, the whole person froze.

On the webpage that opened, there were a few big headlines: Pick up the daughter of a professor in our school.

Zhou He's gaze was fixed on it.

He Mi hesitated and asked, "Ahe, this is not true, is it?"

Zhou He didn't speak, and read the post. What was said in the post was similar to what the girls in the library were gossiping. However, there are photos of her in it, when she walks, when she eats in the cafeteria, and when she waits at the bus stop.

Shoot very carefully, it's all sideways. She didn't even notice it.

The post said how willful she was, just because Professor Ren got married, so she ran away from home silently. And refused to go home and refused to recognize Professor Ren, so that he had to come to Yucheng from Kyoto. Just to take care of her up close. At the same time, he also criticized her unfilial piety, her parents are people who give life, and they want to break away from the father-daughter relationship because of their father's marriage.

The post was sent in the morning, and by this time, it had already become popular. There are already thousands of comments below. The forum was once paralyzed by too many views.

After reading the post in a few lines, I couldn't see any expression on my face. The comments below are all criticizing her, and at this point, He Mi can't guess it. He quickly closed the webpage and said, "It's all messy, and I don't know who would be so boring." Ahe, don't take it to heart, this kind of rumor will be dispersed in a few days. ”

She regretted letting Zhou He see it.

Zhou He's expression was calm, and he even squeezed out a smile, mumbled, and said, "I'll go wash up." ”

She was soon gone.

But he didn't wash up, and after closing the door, he leaned against the door with his eyes closed. According to the last time Xu Yuanning said that Ren Yurong had admitted that she was his daughter for a long time, she couldn't think of who would make this post at this time.

She stayed in the bathroom for a long time, until He Mi was knocking on the door outside, and then she washed her face and went out.

He Mi was worried, and asked in a low voice, "Ahe, are you okay?"

Zhou He shook his head, squeezed out a smile, and said, "It's okay." ”

He Mi was about to say something, and someone outside shouted: "Who is Zhou He, there is a phone." ”

Zhou He said now, opened the door and went out. She didn't know who called her, and when she picked up the phone, she realized that it was Xu Yuanning.

His tone was hesitant, he called out to Ah He, paused for a moment, and then asked, "Are you okay?"

He's probably seen that post too.

Zhou He whispered that it was okay.

Xu Yuanning was a little annoyed and said, "I have already found the administrator of the forum and asked them to delete the post. Don't be cranky. ”

The post was full of nonsense, and what was even more annoying was that those comments and comments were all about everything, all of which were attacking Zhou He. He's been busy all this time, and it's too late to know it.

Things have developed to the current state, and even if you delete the post, you can't stop the gossip. Despite this, Zhou He still thanked Xu Yuanning and told him that he was fine.

Everything has happened, and it is useless to say anything now. Xu Yuanning hesitated for a moment to let her have a good rest, and then hung up the phone.

Things are indeed not as simple as Xu Yuanning thought, although the post was deleted. But people's mouths can't be stopped, and Zhou He received more attention when he went out the next day.

Although the post was deleted, more posts about it popped up on the forum. All of them are asking why the post disappeared and whether it is true.

And Xu Yuanning asked the administrator to delete the post, but Ren Yurong didn't want her to be disturbed by the attention, so he asked people to delete the post. For a while, Zhou He was pushed to the cusp.

When Xu Yuanning came to find Zhou Heshi again at lunch, he also didn't expect that things would become like this overnight after people deleted the post.

Let the rumors spread, as long as the person concerned does not respond, everyone will gradually lose interest and pay attention again. And this deletion of the post, apparently there is no silver three hundred taels here, which indirectly admits this fact.

He was extremely sorry and said, "I'm sorry Ahe, I've already asked people to check the ID of the person who posted the post, and I will definitely pull him out and apologize." ”

He was annoyed. is also annoyed that he himself took the liberty of letting people delete the post, so that things have evolved into the way they are.

Zhou He shook his head and said, "It's none of your business, Senior Brother." You don't have to check it, after a while, everyone will lose interest and won't pay attention anymore. ”

Her tone was understated, and I don't know if she really didn't take it to heart.
