Zhao Xin was silent and did not speak.

Seeing her like this, the security guard waved his hand to drive away: "Miss, don't disturb our work, let's go." ”

Zhao Xin took a few steps back, and heard Shi Yan's voice coming from the other side of the phone, calling Chu Mei over.

"Just come." Chu Mei responded, and said to Zhao Xin, "There are a lot of rotten people here, Ah Sui is like that, I don't think there is a shortage of blessings from others." On the big weekend, you can rest early by yourself, and there is no need to waste money for him. ”

Zhao Xin looked at the gift bag he was carrying and said, "Hmm." ”

The weather is warm, but the cold wind is rampant, and the decorative ribbons on the gift box are flying randomly, which is quite embarrassing.

Zhao Xin sniffed and said, "Then I'll hang up, you have fun." ”

She had to go back to school.

On the subway, she pondered for a while what to do with this dress, it is impossible to leave more than 10,000 yuan in dust, and it can probably only be sold as second-hand.

When Zhao Xin returned to school, he found that Chu Mei had transferred 20,000 yuan to herself.

She didn't accept it, and she didn't take the initiative to ask her to accept it.

The roommate looked at her suspiciously: "Didn't you say you were going to celebrate your friend's birthday today, why did you come back?" ”

Su Xiu was originally sitting in her place chatting with people, but when she heard this, she glanced back at Zhao Xin.

"I'm not going." She smiled, she returned to her position, turned on the computer and started watching the TV series.

"Zhao Xin, we're going to watch a movie together and eat Haidilao, are you going?" The roommates made an appointment to eat together today, and yesterday they also asked Zhao Xin if she would go, but she refused at that time, and now Su Xiu followed, so she naturally still won't go.

"Go ahead, I'll watch the show and have fun." She said mildly.

"Okay."

They finished putting on their makeup and went out in the afternoon. When taking a taxi, Su Xiu said: "Today is Chu Sui's birthday." ”

So who Zhao Xin is going to celebrate today's birthday is simply a very easy guess. And the sweatshirt that Zhao Xin bought looks like it suits Chu Sui's style, and the size is even more suitable. Moreover, if it is the birthday of an ordinary friend, does Zhao Xin need to buy such a good one?

"How do you know?" No matter how famous Chu Sui is in school, no one usually deliberately remembers his birthday, right?

And he generally doesn't invite ordinary students, doesn't talk about it, and doesn't spread the word.

"Have you forgotten, I'm the school office officer. Chu Sui filled out the form when participating in the Internet competition. Su Xiu said, "Zhao Xin must have gone to celebrate Chu Sui's birthday today, and the reason why he came back was probably because he didn't go and was driven back." ”

The roommate frowned: "It's not good to talk nonsense about this kind of thing without evidence, and the relationship between Zhao Xin and Chu Sui doesn't seem to be so bad, right?" ”

"Do you think that Chu Sui's fiancée doesn't mind Zhao Xin, or do you think that in Chu Sui's heart, his fiancée is not as important as Zhao Xin? Miss Shi didn't beat Zhao Xin in one aspect, right? ”

My roommate doesn't want to talk about this topic anymore, and it's not interesting to say bad things about others all day.

Su Xiu saw the other party's impatience, so she didn't say anything more.

Until the evening, Shi Yan called her and asked her where Zhao Xin was.

"She's in the dorm."

Su Xiu and Shi Yan, the two of them are still because of Jiang Shen's relationship and friends.

Two days ago, Jiang Shen took her to a banquet, which included Zhang Xiaodie and Shi Yan. Su Xiu only knew at that time that they were sisters.

She said to Jiang Shen: "Zhang Xiaodie also chased Shi Yan's boyfriend. ”

Jiang Shen said coldly: "Caught up? ”

"Nope."

Jiang Shen said: "That's all she has to do. ”

"I heard you're brother and sister?"

"No, it's none of her to do with it."

Su Xiu also started from that day, and felt that Zhang Xiaodie had nothing to be proud of. Most of the power of the Zhang family is in Jiang Shen's hands.

As soon as Shi Yan heard that Zhao Xin was in the dormitory, she said, "Can you convey it and let her come to the Dream Circle Hotel, everyone is here." ”

Su Xiu was interested, but she always had to refrain from asking questions, she slowed down her voice: "I heard her say that she was going to celebrate her friend's birthday today, but she suddenly came back, and I don't know what's going on." ”

"Friends?" Shi Yan smiled meaningfully, "Today is Chu Sui's birthday, but my future mother-in-law didn't agree to her coming over and told her to leave." After all, she is a member of the Chu family, so I plan to let her come over. ”

This news passed through Su Xiu and another roommate, and reached Zhao Xin's ears.

"I see." Zhao Xin was silent for a while, and then gave these four words.

But she didn't really want to go.

Shi Yan seems to be generous, but in fact, she is silently declaring her sovereignty, and she is also calling her heart if she doesn't go.

Zhao Xin looked at the clothes that she hung up and planned to sell, and was in a daze.

......

The lobby of the hotel is bustling.

The identity of the Zhong family's Dumiao Miao has plated a layer of gold for Chu Sui, which is very valuable, and many characters with heads and faces have come.

There are many celebrities, and the birthday party has another reason.

Most of them are here to attract contacts, birthdays are not called birthdays, they should be called socializing.

Chu Sui greeted for a long time, about a long time, I don't know why, he gradually lost his mood and went to the lounge.

He sat on the cold nanmu sofa and looked at his watch.

Seven twenty.

On the twenty-second birthday, but not nine in the evening, the gift cannot be received more than nine o'clock in the evening.

His expression was a little cold.

But when Shi Yan came in, he put away his emotions and glanced at her sideways.

Shi Yan closed the door, and the voice outside was cut off, she said, "I called Zhao Xin, but she couldn't say it." ”

Chu Sui was cool and indifferent: "Oh." ”

"She's also your family, so logically speaking, she should come."

Chu Sui: "It doesn't matter if she comes or not." ”

After sitting for a while, it was the official birthday banquet, and Chu followed the main owner, ate a little at will, and was about to withdraw.

Seeing this, Zhong Hecheng took the opportunity to announce the engagement arrangement: "The engagement will be on the sixth of next month, and I hope everyone will come to cheer at that time." ”

Congratulations.

Chu Sui stared at the crowd for a moment, bowed slightly, raised his feet and left.

Chu Mei chased after her: "Where are you going?" ”

"It's breathable, it's stuffy." He took Zhu Shixin and a few friends from the laboratory with him, "It's the second half, I'll live it by myself." ”

Chu Mei looked at him coldly, and the smile on the corner of her mouth was sarcastic: "Look at you, it's really useless." ”

Chu Sui paused and did not speak.

Shi Yan comforted her: "His birthday is arranged to be social, he is always unhappy, and he also wants private space." ”

Chu Sui left while they were talking, a group of men, the bar of choice.

He drank a lot, looked at the time again, and it was eighty-forty.

Chu Sui's face completely drooped, like a living Hades.

Zhu Shixin said: "What's going on with you today, and you have to be unhappy on your birthday?" ”

Chu Sui tugged at the corners of his mouth: "I met a liar." ”

Liars, it's just nice to say.

After asking him to help, he deliberately said two thoughtful words, pretending to care about his affairs very much, and coaxed him.

Zhu Shixin shrugged: "What else can you be fooled?" ”

Chu Sui took a sip of wine and didn't speak.

Since he went back to school for a while, the group of classmates in his laboratory who have been with him the most are with him. A senior came back and said, "It seems that Zhao Xin didn't come today." ”

Zhu Shixin restrained his face and was not so relaxed.

The senior said: "I met her last night, and she said that she was coming today. ”

Chu paused and said, "No one is there, it's rare for her to come." ”

Zhu Shixin pondered and echoed: "Her coming is just an eyesore for the Shi family, at least Shi Yan still doesn't want her to come over." ”

Zhu Shixin is partial to Shi Yan in his heart and gets along a lot.

In the bottom of the senior's heart, he favors Zhao Xin a little, also because he is more familiar. He just wanted to refute a few words for Zhao Xin, but when he turned his head, he didn't expect her to stand not far from them, hesitating whether to come over.

She's so good-looking today, obviously dressed up with care.

Long hair and long skirts, well controlled by her well-proportioned figure.

Zhao Xin is gentle, wearing a skirt, even more gentle.

The senior was a little stunned, but Zhao Xin saw it, she beckoned to him, and then walked into the corner.

He followed.

Zhao Xin handed him the bag in his hand: "I just happened to touch it, you can give it to Chu Sui for me later." ”

"Why don't you go by yourself?"

"No, I still have something." Zhao Xin looked at him with sparkling eyes, "Can you help me?" ”

"Can ......"

Zhao Xin said, "Thank you." ”

"You're welcome." He said, "I'm just a little surprised, why did you come to the bar?"

Zhao Xin looked at him, didn't answer, and said, "I have to go." ”

It wasn't until she was out of the bar that she caught her breath.

In fact, she came with them, originally she was waiting at the door of the hotel, but when she saw Shi Yan there, she didn't go over directly, so she had to follow them.

Zhao Xin also hesitated for a long time before deciding to come to celebrate Chu Sui's birthday, but he didn't expect to be stopped by the security guard here, and the other party said that there must be an invitation, otherwise no one would be let in.

She contacted Chu Sui, but no one answered, so she kept waiting at the door.

It's been a long time.

......

Wine table games, Chu Sui is still good at it.

After playing for less than two games, the senior brought a gift bag and put it in front of him: "Zhao Xin asked me to give it to you." ”

Chu Sui only glanced at it, and he could see that it was a sweatshirt, and the price was comparable to the clothes he usually wore.

He didn't speak.

The senior continued: "I just happened to bump into it, let me convey it on my behalf, she still has something to do, so she left first." ”

Zhu Shixin looked at Chu Sui and thoughtfully: "Zhao Xin is really measured, and he is afraid that others will gossip." ”

Chu Sui didn't touch the gift, and then went to play dice with them.

At about ten o'clock, they dispersed.

Before leaving, the gift was left alone in the corner, and Chu Sui left as if he didn't bother to take it with him, and was almost lost in the bar.

It's still the senior's kindness to bring it.

Zhu Shixin asked Chu Sui: "Where are you going?" ”

"Hotel."

Chu Mei was reluctant to live in the Zhong family after all, and Chu was a son and grandson, so she naturally had to accompany her and live in a hotel together.

Zhu Shixin nodded and took the lead in stopping the car and leaving.

Chu Sui was waiting for the driver to come over, and the senior handed him the gift: "Don't forget the things." ”

Seeing his overly weak mood, he joked again: "You shouldn't turn your head and just throw away = this dress, right?" ”

"No, it won't." He said.

But the tone is really lackluster, and it always feels like there is no sincerity.

But that's something that people give Chu Sui, no matter how he deals with it, it doesn't have much to do with him.

Chu followed the car and stared at the clothes for a while, Zhao Xin still had a good eye in picking out a style for him.

He didn't guess wrong, a few days ago, he heard from his roommate that Zhao Xin spent more than 10,000 yuan on clothes, and they were really given to him.

Chu Sui quickly lowered his head, but when he swiped his phone, he was stunned.

Zhao Xin's number topped the list of missed calls.

His finger paused on the screen for a moment, and first sent a message back to Shi Yan, she asked him if he had left, and then asked him where he would go later.

Chu Suihui; "Go to my mother's. 】

Shi Yan asked again, doesn't your mother like Zhao Xin very much?

[Why do you say that?] 】

[It's just a feeling.] 】

Chu Sui didn't reply, he quit WeChat and dialed Zhao Xin's number.

Zhao Xin answered quickly, but spoke slowly, causing a long silence between the two people.

In the end, Chu Sui said lazily, politely and detachedly: "Thank you." ”

"You're welcome."

Silence again.

Zhao Xin felt that it was a good thing that Chu Sui hung up the phone as he wanted at this time, and this embarrassing atmosphere made her a little unsure how to speak.

"Happy birthday." She barely found a word.

"Thank you."

"You're welcome."

“......”

Zhao Xin said: "I saw it at the door, this birthday banquet is very grand, and the occasion is also very beautiful, you should be very happy, right?" Shi Yan's father should also like you, and her aunt also likes Shi Yan, the two families are harmonious, but there are not too many. ”

Chu Sui: "Oh. ”

Zhao Xin: "......"

She sensed his impatience, was stunned, smiled and said again, "Happy birthday." You should be busy, I'll hang up. ”

Chu Sui's hanging over there is much more quickly than her.

Zhao Xin was a little helpless, she was still a little dizzy now, today she thought she would be able to go in, so thinking about how to represent the Chu family, she just wore less and just looked good, but she didn't expect the wind to blow for a long time.

She washed up and went to bed.

After Chu Sui said hello to Chu Mei over there, he also planned to go back to rest.

Chu Mei stared at the gift in his hand for a while, and said, "Why didn't you see anyone giving clothes before?" Someone else sent it? ”

He didn't speak.

Chu Mei said: "Xiao Xin sent it, right?" ”

Chu Sui: "Hmm."

"I asked her not to come today, since you chose Shi Yan, you must satisfy the Shi family. She came, and the Shi family and her were uncomfortable. ”

He stood there for a moment, his eyes blocked by his soft, fluffy hair. I don't know if he listened to it, so he answered a few times perfunctorily and left.

......

Zhao Xin was woken up by his mobile phone in the middle of the night.

Chu Sui should have been waiting for a long time, and his tone was not very good, he said, "Come down." ”

Zhao Xin came to his senses and was a little surprised after understanding what he meant.

"If you don't come down, I'll go up."

Zhao Xin remembered his experience of climbing over the wall during the winter vacation, and was a little afraid, this kind of thing was discovered by the school, it was very serious, it was a violation of discipline, and it was not good for his reputation.

Almost immediately, she got out of bed and opened the balcony door to go out.

Chu Sui was really standing downstairs, and she didn't even need to recognize that height, she could be sure of him.

Zhao Xin said softly: "It's so late, what are you doing coming to me?" ”

Chu Sui said: "Boring. ”

"Where's Shi Yan?"

"She slept."

Zhao Xin sighed: "Won't I sleep?" ”

Chu Sui was quiet for a moment and said, "You come down and come with me to sleep with me." ”

Zhao Xin: "......"

"Don't worry, don't sleep with you, I don't want to do it today. Hope. ”

Zhao Xin was a little disappointed, Chu Sui really didn't care about her words, so she said a few times that she didn't want to be a child. Three, she needs respect, and he never listened. Even if he doesn't do anything, is it okay to go to a place to sleep in the middle of the night?

To really get on the right track, you can't see each other alone at night, and you can't have any intimate actions.

What's more, if Chu Sui is there, there is a feeling that there are no three hundred taels of silver here.

Zhao Xin stared at him in the dark, and her voice was much calmer than she thought: "No, you want to sleep with me." ”

“......”

Chu Sui was choked and really thought.

From the moment he saw the dress, he thought that it was like a wildfire, and it was ignited all at once.

"Chu Sui, you listen to it once, there are many choices around you, but I don't, my reputation is bad, and I can't marry in the future." Zhao Xin's voice was a little choked, in fact, she knew what many people in the school had said about her recently, but she had treated it coldly and didn't think about it, so as not to let it bother her.

But that doesn't mean she doesn't care.

Zhao Xin lies in bed many times, and when he thinks of these things, he feels irritable. And then into deep worry, what will she do with her future? The classmates may not care very much, but the other half, will they look at her with colored glasses?

Chu Sui said: "Come down for a while, just like last time, I will pick you up." ”

Zhao Xin felt that she almost couldn't lift it in one breath, she said it so clearly, but he was still like this, she was a little cold, her body was already a little uncomfortable, and the uncomfortable feeling was even stronger at this time, Zhao Xin didn't speak again, and walked back to the dormitory directly.

The conversation between the two people just now was through mobile phones, and in a place like the dormitory, everyone is asleep, and they can't be too loud, only with a mobile phone can it be clear enough.

Zhao Xin closed the balcony door and hung up his phone.

She glanced back and vaguely saw that he was leaning against the street lamp not far away, hanging his head and not moving.

For a moment, Zhao Xin felt as if he was a little sad.

Then I remembered today's birthday party, all of them were high society, all people I didn't know. Zhao Xin clearly realized that the road between her and Chu Sui would inevitably not be the same, now that there is Old Man Chu, they may still have a broken relationship, but as long as Old Man Chu is gone, the Chu family will be Chu Yang's Chu family, and the Chu family will no longer have a place for her, and she will not be considered a Chu family.

And Chu Sui, the relationship with the Chu family will also become weaker and weaker, and the label of the Zhong family on him will only become more and more obvious.

When the time comes, no one will think that they are family.

If they contact again, Shi Yan will definitely not let her go.

Chu Sui's phone calls came in several more, but Zhao Xin didn't answer.

Then he stopped fighting.

Zhao Xin thought that he should go.

But Chu didn't leave, he stayed downstairs for most of the night, staring at the door of the balcony of Zhao Xin's bedroom for a long time, but he never saw her sneaking out to take a few looks, whether he had left.

Chu Sui does not deny that he still has that idea today.

Not today, he always has.

But he came over tonight, mainly to hear her say happy birthday in person.

In the first year of their relationship, Zhao Xin said that when Chu Sui was twenty-second birthday, she would give him whatever she said, even if the two of them were in different places, she would climb to his side if she had a broken leg, and then buy him a sweatshirt for tens of thousands of yuan.

At that time, Chu Sui still didn't wear clothes at this price, only a few shirts, which exceeded this price.

At that time, Chu casually said, I don't believe you.

But when he was twenty-two years old, when he saw this sweatshirt, he still remembered this incident.

Chu Sui turned a blind eye to the sweatshirt at first, guessing that Zhao Xin might not remember it, because she hadn't sent any news.

Still, he wanted to come and testify.

It turned out to be ridiculous, he remembered clearly a person who didn't believe it, and the person who swore to speak didn't remember anything.

......

Chu Sui returned to the hotel and found Chu Mei standing at the end of the corridor, looking out the window and not knowing what she was thinking.

He walked over.

"I really like this sky, there is not a single star, but I hate rainy days, the ink plate has no stars is the rain phase." Chu Mei said, "You still can't have both, right?" ”

Chu followed half a meter away, and his footsteps stopped.

"Ah Sui, we will get engaged on the sixth of next month, less than a month. I don't want to give birth to a son who has no sense of responsibility and is not neat, and it hurts two people like that, since I have chosen the result, I must stick to this path. ”

Chu Mei stared at him: "What's more, you don't like her that much, do you?" ”

Chu Sui was silent for a long time, then raised his feet and walked in the opposite direction, and the moment he opened the door of his room, he let out a "hmm" that was not light or heavy.

"Lose that dress. When Shi Yan saw it, she would think about it more. ”

Chu Sui said lightly: "Hmm." ”

Chu Mei didn't know what Chu Sui did with that dress, anyway, she went to see it the next day, and it was indeed gone.

Chu said casually: "I gave it away." ”

Chu Mei thought he was looking for a reason at first, but that afternoon, she saw the waiter wearing exactly the same one.

She asked casually, the waiter did bring breakfast to Chu Sui this morning.

Chu Suizhen doesn't care, that's a good thing.

For Zhao Xin, Shi Yan, and himself, it is all a good thing.

A man, since he has made a decision, whether he regrets it or not, is responsible.

In the next two days, she went back with Old Man Chu.

Before leaving, she repeatedly warned Chu Sui to listen to Shi Yan's words more.

Chu Sui is really not good in other aspects, but he can still listen to her words as a mother.

Shi Yan kissed the affectionate aunt and the long aunt called short.

Originally, she also thought about calling her mother, but Chu Mei never meant to speak, and she didn't want to be too active. Her family told her that there was no need, Zhong Hecheng was unwilling to marry a woman who entered the door, as long as she was passable on the surface, she didn't need to stick it too high, maybe it was not the right thing for others.

After Chu Mei left, Shi Yan also had to send Chu Sui to school, she took the lead to wait for him at the door, but saw Zhong Hecheng, who said that he was going to work early in the morning, sitting in the car and smoking silently.

Shi Yan said, "Uncle, why haven't you left yet?" ”

Zhong Hecheng smiled kindly: "Let's go." ”

Later, when Chu Sui came out, they left, and she didn't know when Zhong Hecheng left.

......

Zhao Xin heard that Shi Yan came to school more and more frequently, probably because she lived with Chu.

Further evidence is that he never went to the dormitory again.

The girls in the school are quite jealous of Shi Yan, and they don't dare to provoke Chu Sui at all.

When Xu Qiaoyuan and Zhao Xin met in the library, they said with some emotion: "Chu Sui is afraid that he really wants to be a strict wife." ”

Zhao Xin said: "It's good. ”

She also felt that Chu Sui's temperament and willingness to be managed and become calm would be beneficial to inheriting the family business in the future.

"He used to be quite self-serving."

"Yes." Zhao Xin thought for a moment and said, "I can almost only listen to his opinion." Especially in the first two years, I listened to everything he said, and I gave him whatever he wanted, and it was difficult for him to serve. ”

Xu Qiaoyuan said: "But he actually liked you too, and several people in the school who were going to chase you were stopped by him." Once after physical education class, he was too lazy to buy water by himself, and he went to buy milk tea for you. ”

It was a person in the class who said that he wanted to buy it for his girlfriend, and it was cold, so he drank it warmly. Chu Sui listened and followed.

The people in the class knew that he never drank.

Who has a Zhao Xin by his side.

Zhao Xin also vaguely remembered this incident, it was a very cold afternoon, she finished class, Chu Sui came late, and when she came, she carried a cup of milk tea in her hand.

He asked her if she wanted to.

She refused.

Later, when he returned to the house rented by Chu Sui, he asked again.

She still doesn't.

Chu Sui drank it by himself, but that night, he didn't talk to her for a long time, and the next day he went to class by himself, but that night, he returned to normal.

Zhao Xin came back to his senses, there was no need to think about these ambiguous little things.

He may probably be on a whim, and it doesn't mean anything to him at all.

After Xu Qiaoyuan finished speaking, he also regretted it a little, the two of them were broken, and he said what was the meaning of this.

Zhao Xin and Xu Qiaoyuan, since this meeting, have rarely seen each other.

used to meet Qinqin, but it was just because she was familiar with Chu Sui, so she was also familiar with the people in his class, not a major, and the courses were staggered, in fact, it was difficult to meet.

However, Zhao Xin and Shi Yan still met a few times.

She has a good relationship with Su Xiu, and Shi Yan intends to introduce her to a part-time job, so she has come to the bedroom to sit a few times.

Once, I took a watch from Zhao Xin, and she said, "This is Chu Sui borrowing from you, right?" ”

Zhao Xin said, "Hmm."

"I'll take it back." She didn't want Zhao Xin to take advantage of Chu Sui, and the reason why she knew it was because she had seen Chu Sui wear it a long time ago.

Zhao Xin didn't tell her that this was a birthday gift she had given to Chu Sui.

But within a few days, Shi Yan brought the watch back to her.

She smiled decently: "I heard him say yesterday that you gave him this watch." I didn't speak, and he insisted that I pay you back. ”

In the last half of the sentence, it was full of helplessness.
