Chapter 173: Extra, He's Lying

Although Jiang Ting repeatedly said that she was not injured, and Zhao Xi did not scratch her, Zhou Zifan still nervously grabbed her hand and checked it before reassuring.

"Zifan, I ......" Zhao Xi felt angry when she looked at Zhou Zifan's meticulous appearance towards Jiang Ting, she originally thought that Jiang Yuewei and Luo Jiaxin were alarmist, Zhou Zifan has been obsessed with her for so many years, how could she suddenly be dead set on Jiang Ting, even if it is fresh for a while, it is impossible to develop to this point, right?

As a result, seeing this scene with his own eyes today, Zhao Xi believed that a man could really change his mind so quickly, saying that if he didn't like her, he wouldn't like her, and he could immediately transfer all those tenderness and sweetness to another person.

Zhou Zifan looked at Zhao Xi, she looked pitiful, not at all like Jiang Ting's fierce words just now, she was somewhat disappointed in her heart, for a moment, Zhou Zifan even suspected that she had never really understood or known Zhao Xi, what kind of person she was, how many faces she had, he didn't know everything, he just couldn't let go of the love when he was a child.

Jiang Ting pulled the corner of Zhou Zifan's clothes and said, "Help me move the books?"

Zhou Zifan looked back at Jiang Ting, compared to Zhao Xi's pitiful and aggrieved appearance, Jiang Ting seemed much more normal, obviously she was the one who was bullied, but she didn't want to complain, and she didn't want to be wronged, she looked at Zhou Zifan with a smile, and wanted to pull him out of here, don't look at Zhao Xi so embarrassed and entangled, she is so understanding.

Zhou Zifan nodded: "Okay, go move things." ”

Then he followed Jiang Ting upstairs, and never looked back at Zhao Xi again, he thought that he should re-examine the Zhao Xi in his heart, and this real Zhao Xi, which one was his childhood playmate.

Jiang Ting took Zhou Zifan up to move things, looking at Jiang Ting's busy back, Zhou Zifan stopped her with some hesitation and said, "Tingting, Xiaoxi and I, we are not that kind of relationship, and I don't have that feeling for her anymore......"

"I know. Jiang Ting answered, still bowing her head to sort things out.

Zhou Zifan thought, Jiang Ting has always been so empathetic, and she has always stayed by his side so well-behaved, she said that she knew, that is, she really knew, unlike that kind of duplicitous girl, who needs him to guess all the time and coax all the time.

When Zhou Zifan went downstairs with the box, Zhao Xi was no longer there, he paused, didn't say anything, carried the box and put it in the trunk, Jiang Ting helped him tidy it up, and it didn't take long to get it done, and then Zhou Zifan drove her back to the apartment.

When she arrived at the apartment, Jiang Ting asked, "Didn't you sleep well last night?"

Zhou Zifan scratched his head in embarrassment and said, "I'm not used to sleeping on the sofa, but it's okay, don't listen to Zhou Ziyu's nonsense!"

Jiang Ting said with a smile: "I didn't sleep well and came over to help, you go back to rest first, you don't have to accompany me all day." ”

Zhou Zifan was indeed tired, he nodded: "Okay, then I'll go back and rest first, you have something to call me." ”

Jiang Ting nodded, watched Zhou Zifan leave the apartment, and then turned around and returned to the studio, she still had a lot of design drafts to paint, and she really didn't have any intention to be with Zhou Zifan all the time.

After Zhou Zifan went home, as soon as he parked the car, he saw Zhao Xi at the door of his house, she was wearing a white long skirt and a beige coat on the outside, looking thin and pale, as if she would fall down when the wind blew.

Zhou Zifan got out of the car and walked over and asked, "Xiaoxi, why are you here?"

Zhao Xi looked up at Zhou Zifan, her eyes were red, as if she had cried, that delicate face, with these red eyes, it looked like that.

Zhao Xi watched Zhou Zifan come over, suddenly threw himself into Zhou Zifan's arms, and cried and said, "Zifan, do you hate me too?

Zhou Zifan was dizzy by Zhao Xi's enthusiastic embrace, he pulled Zhao Xi out of his arms and asked, "Xiaoxi, what are you talking about?"

"You ignore me! You ignore me! I'm alone, you obviously said that you would be kind to me for the rest of your life!" Zhao Xi wrapped around Zhou Zifan's arm again, hugged him and cried.

Zhou Zifan was very embarrassed by her, he has never been good at rejecting others, Zhao Xi is the person he has liked since he was a child, even if he doesn't like it, he has some affection, it's not good to throw a girl to the ground directly like this, he can only pull Zhao Xi's arm, try to keep a distance, and say: "Xiaoxi, don't cry first, I didn't ignore you, you calm down." ”

Zhao Xi finally stood up, wiped his tears and sobbed: "Zifan, is Miss Jiang angry? I didn't mean to, I'm just afraid that you will ignore me like Achen, I ...... I'm sorry, it's me who is not good, you persuade Miss Jiang, don't be angry with me, okay?"

Zhou Zifan took out a handkerchief from his pocket and handed it to Zhao Xi, and said, "Xiaoxi, you think too much, Tingting won't be so easy to get angry, don't cry, as long as you stay honest, how can I ignore you?"

Zhao Xi sobbed and asked, "Really?

"It's true!" Zhou Zifan looked at her helplessly and said, "How old is it, crying all day long? Brother Chen ignores you because you are angry with your little sister-in-law? You just stay down-to-earth and talk about a boyfriend, so that uncles and aunts can rest assured, and Brother Chen will not always guard against you!"

"But I'm ...... I don't want to talk about boyfriend......" Zhao Xi said hesitantly.

"Look at you, you haven't talked about it, how do you know you don't want to?" Zhou Zifan said helplessly: "Okay, don't stand here and cry, go back, have you driven?"

Zhao Xi shook his head and said, "I didn't drive, I took a taxi." ”

Zhou Zifan sighed and said, "Let's go, I'll send you back." ”

"Okay, thank you Zifan. Zhao Xi smiled and got into the car with Zhou Zifan, didn't pay attention, twisted his feet, Zhou Zifan quickly supported her, and asked, "How is it?

Zhao Xi moved, let out a painful "oops", and said, "I can't go, I've twisted it." ”

Zhou Zifan also had to send it next time, he drove the car and sent Zhao Xi directly to Wen Ziyang's hospital, Zhao Xi twisted her foot, and Zhou Zifan took her to shoot the film first.

When Jiang Ting was painting in the studio, the doorbell rang, she opened the door, stunned: "Jiang Yuewei?"

Jiang Yuewei looked inside and said, "This is the apartment Luo Qianning arranged for you?"

Jiang Ting didn't want to say more to her, she stretched out her hand to close the door, Jiang Yuewei blocked the door with one hand, supported the wall with the other, and said, "What is this for?

Jiang Ting frowned and said, "Who is a family with you, Jiang Yuewei, if you don't leave, I will call the police." ”

Jiang Yuewei smiled "hehe" and said, "Jiang Ting, are you so afraid of me? Don't worry, I'm not here to arrest you, I'm just here to apologize and coax you home." ”

Jiang Ting smiled sarcastically: "Will you apologize?"

Jiang Yuewei shrugged: "I can't help it, I can only do my father's order." ”

Jiang Ting pushed her and said, "Jiang Yuewei, you go, I won't go back, you don't have to coax me." ”

"What are you so anxious to refuse to do?" Jiang Yuewei said with a smile: "You are so confident now, isn't it because Luo Qianning and Zhou Zifan support you? To put it bluntly, if there is no Luo Qianning and Zhou Zifan, you are nothing!"

No matter how Jiang Yuewei mocked, Jiang Ting didn't want to quarrel with her, she just wanted Jiang Yuewei to stay away from her, Jiang Ting was about to close the door hard, Jiang Yuewei suddenly said: "Jiang Ting, if Zhou Zifan doesn't want you, what are you arrogant?"

"What did you say?" Jiang Ting was stunned.

Jiang Yuewei took out her mobile phone, pressed it a few times, handed it to Jiang Ting, and said, "Just look at it, see if Zhou Zifan really likes you." ”

Jiang Ting took the phone, the screen was Zhou Zifan and Zhao Xi, Zhao Xi buried his head in Zhou Zifan's arms, hugging him tightly, although Zhou Zifan did not hug, but still raised a hand to pat Zhao Xi's back, with a helpless smile on his face, it looked like a man coaxing his girlfriend with a good voice.

Jiang Ting's mind "boomed", she crossed the photo, and the next one was Zhao Xi holding Zhou Zifan's arm, and Zhou Zifan holding her hand.

The next one is two people standing at the door talking, both with gentle smiles on their faces, and Zhao Xi pulling the corner of Zhou Zifan's clothes, Zhou Zifan grabbing Zhao Xi's arm, if these are not direct enough, then the last one is Zhou Zifan holding Zhao Xi into the car.

Jiang Ting flipped over and over a few photos and looked at them a few times, not ps, not synthetic, Zhou Zifan was still wearing today's coat, this is today's photo, and the time was almost after she asked Zhou Zifan to go back to rest, Jiang Ting looked dazed, she felt that she hadn't figured out the situation yet, she looked at Jiang Yuewei blankly, wanting to ask something, but she didn't know where to start.

Jiang Yuewei said with a smile: "Do you see it clearly? Do you think that Zhou Zifan is really serious about you? I saw him and Zhao Xi hugging with my own eyes today, so I said, everyone in the imperial capital knows that Zhou Zifan has liked Zhao Xi for more than ten years, how can he say that he doesn't like it?"

Jiang Ting closed her eyes, returned the phone to Jiang Yuewei, and said, "You just want to provoke our relationship, do you think I will really believe it?"

"Am I provoking?" Jiang Yuewei looked at Jiang Ting with a smile and said: "You call and ask Zhou Zifan yourself, is he with Zhao Xi? Jiang Ting, you are a joke, Cinderella and the prince are together, it is a fairy tale, do you really think you have crystal slippers? Go back to Jiang's house honestly, otherwise you won't be able to go back in the future." ”

Jiang Ting had such a big temper for the first time, she pushed Jiang Yuewei out of the door, glared at her, but didn't know what to scold, and finally could only slam the door shut, as if she wanted to shut all Jiang Yuewei's words out of the door.

After the door was closed, Jiang Ting heard Jiang Yuewei shouting twice outside the door, probably because Jiang Ting didn't mean to open the door, she left, Jiang Ting squatted at the entrance, those photos and Jiang Yuewei's words seemed to be imprinted in her mind, lingering.

Jiang Ting is soft-hearted, but not a fool, she likes Zhou Zifan, but not infatuated, she needs to know clearly what her status in Zhou Zifan's heart is, and whether Zhao Xi is his friend or a lover who can't be loved.

Jiang Ting dropped the paintbrush, casually pulled a piece of clothing and went out, she took a taxi directly to Zhou's house, she thought, as long as Zhou Zifan is here, this matter will pass, and she will act as if she didn't see anything.

Jiang Ting knocked on the door, and the maid at home came to take a look, they had only seen Jiang Ting once, or the last time Luo Qianning had a birthday here, after Zhou Zifan and Jiang Ting were together, Jiang Ting had never been here.

The servant asked, "Who are you looking for?"

"Is Zhou Zifan here?" Jiang Ting asked eagerly.

The servant shook his head and said, "The eldest young master is not here, and he hasn't come back since he went out this morning." ”

Jiang Ting's heart sank suddenly, Zhou Zifan told her that it was good to rest on the sofa last night, so she came back to make up for sleep, but the maid said that Zhou Zifan had never come back since she went out in the morning.

The maid looked at Jiang Ting and asked, "Miss, do you want to leave a contact information?" I will help you tell the eldest young master that you have been here." ”

Jiang Ting was stunned, shook her head, and said, "No need, I'll call him, thank you." ”

Jiang Ting walked out of the door, she took out her mobile phone, her fingertips crossed Zhou Zifan's name, hesitating whether to dial this number, she was very scared, once she dialed out, all this beauty would become a shattered dream, and she would have to accept another reality again.

After hesitating for a long time today, I dialed Zhou Zifan's phone, and after waiting for a long time, the phone was connected, Zhou Zifan's voice was tired, as if he had just woken up, and asked, "Tingting, what's wrong?"

Jiang Ting stabilized her mood and asked, "Are you at home?"

Zhou Zifan was stunned, he sent Zhao Xi to make a film, instructed the nurse to take care of her, and was about to leave the hospital, he thought that if he told Jiang Ting that he was with Zhao Xi, it would be another indescribable misunderstanding, not to mention that he didn't do anything, he just sent a friend to treat the disease, and he was leaving.

So Zhou Zifan paused and said, "Well, at home." ”

At that moment, Jiang Ting only felt that her heart sank, Zhou Zifan didn't tell her the truth, no matter what the reason, he did lie, but what other reasons? She had just seen the photo of Zhou Zifan and Zhao Xi hugging, watching Zhou Zifan hug Zhao Xi into the car, and now, Zhou Zifan lied to her with a nasal voice that he didn't wake up and said that he was at home, what happened, do you still need to ask?

Jiang Ting sniffed and said, "It's okay, I'm just asking." ”

Zhou Zifan breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I'll pick you up for dinner later, right?"

"No!" Jiang Ting immediately refused, she said: "No need, I made an appointment with Qianning in the evening, don't come." ”

"That's right, that's fine, then you have a good meal. Zhou Zifan patiently instructed.

"Well, good. Jiang Ting nodded, and when she was about to hang up the phone, she heard a faint female voice shouting "Zifan" over there, she smiled sarcastically and said, "I'm going to draw a draft, hang up." ”

"Good. Zhou Zifan immediately hung up the phone, for fear that Zhao Xi's voice would be heard by Jiang Ting just now.

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Ting sat on the ground, tears fell unconsciously, she thought too much, but she was too self-righteous, and actually believed that a boy like Zhou Zifan could be with her with all his heart, in the end, she was just a woman who passed the time when he was bored, Jiang Yuewei was right, she didn't have crystal shoes, why did she think she could be the Cinderella who climbed the prince?

Zhou Zifan turned his head to look at Zhao Xi, who was helped by the nurse and walked over, a little helpless, how could he feel that Zhao Xi had become more and more clingy to him recently?

"Zifan, are you leaving?" Zhao Xi limped over.

Zhou Zifan nodded and asked, "Is the result out?"

Zhao Xi smiled and said, "It's not a big deal, it's just a twist, the doctor said that it would be good to rest for a few days, but please send me to the hospital." ”

"Nothing, as it should be. Zhou Zifan looked a little absent-minded, he really didn't want to talk to Zhao Xi anymore, he was inexplicably a little uneasy in his heart, and he felt very tired, he didn't want to last too long in this kind of lying situation, he was a little nervous, and he always felt ashamed of this.

"Zifan, what's wrong with you?" Zhao Xi asked as he looked at Zhou Zifan's stunned appearance.

Zhou Zifan came back to his senses, shook his head, and said, "It's okay, I'm leaving." ”

Zhao Xi grabbed him, lowered his head and asked, "Zifan, can you send me home?" ”

Zhou Zifan looked at his watch and hesitated, he was a little embarrassed, he just couldn't wait to go back now, and he didn't want to stay with Zhao Xi.

Zhao Xi rubbed his hands and said, "If you don't have time, I'll take a taxi back by myself, you go to find Miss Jiang, she shouldn't be happy if she hasn't seen you for so long." ”

Zhao Xi said that she was about to walk forward, but as soon as she got rid of the nurse, she fell to the ground, her palm pressed on the floor, and her skin was broken all of a sudden, and tears of pain were in her eyes.

Zhou Zifan hurriedly helped her up and said, "What are you doing here, I didn't say I wouldn't send you, what are you in a hurry to go?"

Zhao Xi lowered his head aggrievedly and said in a low voice: "I don't want to trouble you and make you too embarrassed......"

Zhou Zifan looked at her hand and said, "It's all bleeding, go back and bandage it before leaving, I'll send you." ”

Zhou Zifan can't help it, Zhao Xi fell in front of him, it is obvious that he can't go, if she takes a taxi back by herself, maybe she will have to fall a few times, anyway, it doesn't matter if she goes back to make up for sleep for a few minutes, it doesn't matter if she sends her a trip.

Zhou Zifan kept his distance very clearly, and asked the nurse to help Zhao Xi to bandage, he was waiting outside, and when Wen Ziyang came over, he was leaning against the wall in a daze with nothing to do.

Wen Ziyang patted him and asked, "Why are you stepping on two boats?"

Zhou Zifan glanced at him and said, "Am I this kind of person?

Wen Ziyang leaned against the wall with him and asked, "Then what are you doing here?"

"Xiaoxi's foot is twisted, don't you see?" Zhou Zifan said angrily, he was also very irritable, he didn't want to accompany him, but now he can't find a more suitable person to replace him, he has known her for so many years, this can't leave her alone in the hospital, right?

"I saw it!" Wen Ziyang shrugged: "So what? If Zhao Xi gives birth to a child in the future, you will also accompany you?"

Zhou Zifan suddenly turned his head and looked at Wen Ziyang, his eyes lit up, isn't there a ready-made reliable one?

Wen Ziyang was uncomfortable by him, shuddered, and asked, "What do you want me to do?"

Zhou Zifan patted Wen Ziyang's shoulder and said, "You're right, Xiaoxi is sick, and I can't stay with her all the time, after all, I am a person who has a girlfriend, so this has a bad impact, so trouble you, brother, send Miss Zhao home safely, and I'll go coax my girlfriend!"

Wen Ziyang: "...... What do you say?"

Zhou Zifan shrugged his shoulders and said, "Anyway, you're single! It's a doctor again, it's okay to take care of the patients in your hospital, right? I'll leave first, anyway, I don't want to stay here for a long time!"

Wen Ziyang glared at him: "Then I don't want to!"

"No way, who called us brothers!" Zhou Zifan patted Wen Ziyang's shoulder and slipped away.

He felt very uncomfortable, he didn't like Zhao Xi anymore, so Zhao Xi's current overtures made him very unaccustomed and embarrassed, he didn't know how to refuse well, but it wouldn't hurt Zhao Xi's feelings and the love they grew up together.

What's more, he now has Jiang Ting, he doesn't want such a situation of lying again, and he doesn't want Zhao Xi to become a misunderstanding between them, so he can still hide.

Zhou Zifan drove back to Zhou's house directly, and called Jiang Ting while entering the door, Jiang Ting was sitting in the dark living room and didn't turn on the lights, she had been sitting like this for a day, trying to sort out her thoughts, seeing the caller ID, she sniffed and asked, "What's wrong?"

Zhou Zifan's voice was brisk, and he asked, "Tingting, did you go to dinner with Qianning?"

"Not yet, I'm getting ready to go out. Jiang Ting looked at the bright lights outside the window and spoke calmly.

Zhou Zifan looked outside tangled and said, "I'll send you there, it's dark now, I'm not worried." ”

"No need, Qianning will come to pick me up, you can rest at home. Jiang Ting said.

Zhou Zifan heard Jiang Ting say that he should rest at home, his heart was shocked, and he quickly regained his composure and said, "Okay, then you have fun." ”

After hanging up the phone, Zhou Zifan didn't have much heart to sleep, thinking that Luo Qianning was having dinner with Jiang Ting today, so Mo Tingchen must have been left dry, so he went to find Mo Tingchen to sit down.

At this time, Jiang Ting's doorbell rang, she walked over to open the door, and when she saw the person outside the door, she was stunned: "Qin Yu, what are you doing here?"

Qin Yu looked into the room, and said as he walked inside, "Xiaoting, why don't you turn on the light?"

Then Qin Yu turned on the switch with a "click", Jiang Ting frowned and watched Qin Yu wander around the living room uninvited, and asked, "What are you doing here?"

Qin Yu looked at her with a smile and said, "Friends who grew up together, just returned to China, can't I catch up with you?"
