Chapter 170: Confinement

When I went back this time, I was directly locked up and confined.

It wasn't until after his personal freedom was restricted that Zhong Yi realized that the "trouble" caused this time was not small, but he didn't have a little remorse in his heart.

Shut down, shut down, shut down, anyway, she has nowhere to go for the rest of the summer, as usual, she is bored in the house to surf the Internet, fiddling with the camera. The only difference is that there is an additional ban on her going out and prohibiting her from surfing the Internet.

knew that she never made people feel at ease, and also forbade her from contacting the outside world.

Zhong Yi has long been accustomed to the rules and regulations of the old Zhong family and all kinds of unfair corporal punishment, as long as she is not sent to the compound, she is forbidden to restrict her personal freedom, she has no complaints or dissatisfaction.

After returning from Los Angeles, Zhong Yi has been locking himself in the darkroom and developing his own photos, repeating the same work every day, and never getting tired of it.

Xin Rui knew that after she was "escorted" back from Los Angeles by Lu Yuchuan, she was the first to run to her house, pointing at her nose and scolding her for being "indifferent and selfish", "cold-blooded and ruthless" and "a big fool" Although the words that scolded her could never match the meaning she wanted to express, and Zhong Yi heard it in a fog, but she was still very happy that Xin Rui did not abandon her.

I received her reply email in Los Angeles, and I read her emotions at the moment from between the lines, anger! Even the words that were typed out were mixed with words such as "broken friendship".

But when she knew that she was back, she was the first to run to her and vent her frustration, anger and worry in her own "revenge" way.

"I scolded you, and you still laughed!" calmed down the fluctuating emotions, Xin Rui raised her hand and brushed her slightly messy hair, looking at Zhongyi's smirk, without hiding the disgust on her face.

"I'm sorry to worry you." Zhongyi grinned, turned his head, and took the tweezers in his rubber-gloved hand to fish out the picture soaked in the potion.

It was very hot in the darkroom, and there was already dense fine sweat oozing from his forehead, Zhong Yi raised his arm and gently wiped the fine sweat oozing from the corners of his forehead, his cheeks were stuffy and red, and the smile at the corners of his mouth kept spreading.

"Stupid." Xin Rui glanced at her slantedly, and reluctantly handed over the tissue, she couldn't take it, and she carefully wiped the fine sweat on her forehead with a proud face, and kept talking: "You learned to develop photos when you went to Los Angeles?" It's so hot, and you have to be stuffy in it all day long, I really don't know where the fun is. ”

"Look." Zhong Yi used tweezers to hold a wet photo and approached her: "When I arrived in Los Angeles, I happened to encounter the Geminid meteor shower, and the environment was too bad to shoot successfully. ”

"It's beautiful." Xin Rui said with heartfelt appreciation.

"That's the fun about it."

Xin Rui sat back on the barstool, gently twisted a grape with her fingertips and put it in her mouth, sighed lightly, and said, "You know very well that Aunt Zhong will not agree to you engaging in photography, but you like it, and even fall into it." ”

"It's the only thing I've stuck to, and I don't want to give up halfway or quit."

"No way, who made us friends. If you like me, of course, you have to support me strongly, and you can do whatever you want, so that your youth will not leave regrets. Xin Rui solemnly patted Zhongyi's shoulder, and her tone was rarely serious.

…………

Except for Xin Rui, only An Shu remained.

An Shu's frequency of appearing at the Zhong family in the past few days has become more and more diligent, and the estrangement between the two seems to have been diluted by time a long time ago, and each other has forgotten when the last cold war was.

Sometimes An Shu would sit quietly beside her, watching her develop photos, and sometimes he would come out of the dark room and go downstairs to the kitchen to pour water, always attracted by the figure facing away from her on the sofa in the living room, and reacted slowly for a while before he realized that they had no cold war.

The conversation between the two is indifferent and pitiful, and he likes to spend time developing photos, and he hardly talks to An Shu, who is also a taciturn person, if you don't talk to him, he won't take the initiative to talk to you for a day.

In this way, the two maintained a delicate relationship until the end of the summer vacation, when it was broken.

When Zhong Yi was called downstairs from the dark room by Zhong's father, the plastic gloves on his hands had not had time to be taken off, and the gloves stained with chemicals emitted a pungent and unpleasant smell. She spent a lot of time in the darkroom, and she had long been accustomed to the pungent smell, and she didn't think anything was wrong.

Father Zhong's voice kept coming from the living room, his tone was slow and a little serious, his curiosity was completely aroused, Zhong Yi stopped going downstairs, stood on the stairs with only three steps left from the staircase, and listened to the corner.

Father Zhong quietly glanced up and down at Xu Huaisheng, who was sitting on the opposite side, his skin was good, but he didn't know how his character was? Father Zhong smiled: "Classmate Xu is also the oldest?" ”

"Yes." Xu Huaisheng's slender and white fingers were gently clasped, put them on his lap, and replied without humility or arrogance.

"Coincidentally, I like the same school as my family." Father Zhong straightened his back, and his tone was still serious: "I don't know which department classmate Xu is from?" ”

"Mathematics Department."

Hearing this, Father Zhong was shocked, and carefully scanned Xu Huaisheng up and down, with an approving look in his eyes, and nodded: "In the future, you and Zhongyi will be classmates in the same school, Zhongyi will ask you to take care of it, and your friendship must continue to develop."

It is no wonder that Father Zhong's attitude has changed 180 degrees, it is true that the entrance threshold of Z University is higher than that of other first-class universities, and those who can be admitted to Z University must have superior academic performance.

This is not the most important thing, the "mathematics department" in front of the Z gate is more than 80% of the students enrolled every year. If the entrance threshold for Z University is high, the mathematics department of Z University is even more heavenly.

Of course, a parent like Father Zhong, who understands righteousness, naturally understands the level of his daughter, and he likes this kind of pure shit luck before he will be taken by Z.

Others rely on strength, she relies on luck.

There is no comparison at all, only a good relationship, and Z Da, who is thousands of miles away from home, will not be bullied.

"Uncle, don't worry, I will definitely take care of my favor." Xu Huaisheng smiled mildly and nodded at Father Zhong, his eyes always on the empty staircase.

Zhong Yi, who had been eavesdropping on the corner, heard Xu Huaisheng's voice, his cheeks were slightly hot, his heart was beating non-stop, and when he heard the words he promised to Father Zhong that he would take care of her, he actually heard a trace of ambiguity......

I can't help but think of what he once said, and now I think about it carefully, how can I have a sense of seeing my future father-in-law.

Zhong Yi was excited, stumbled a few steps under his feet, and almost rolled down the third staircase with a sprained ankle, but fortunately he held on to the wall on one side to stabilize his body, so that nothing embarrassing happened.

Xu Huaisheng happened to accidentally bump into Zhongyi's "eavesdropping corner", and finally the whole process of the incident ended in embarrassment.

"Why are you here?" Before his brain turned the corner, he subconsciously blurted out, smiled awkwardly, raised his hand to touch the tip of his nose, only to notice that he was still wearing plastic gloves on his hands, and finally put them down.

Xu Huaisheng raised his eyebrows and replied to her as an "ordinary classmate": "Oh, the senior brother of the Z University sent me an admission form to fill in, and I have already sent it to you, but you don't seem to have checked it, so I specially came to ask you, that form is very important, and it can't be a red deer." ”

"How do you speak, classmates Xu came to inform you to fill out the form on a hot day, you should be grateful." Father Zhong turned his head and glanced at Zhong Yi, who was still standing at the top of the stairs, and hated that iron could not become steel: "Go and pour a cup of tea for classmate Xu." ”

Zhong Yi was stunned for a moment, thinking to himself, can I get it, the mobile phone has been confiscated, and it is still locked in the drawer of Zhong's father's study.

Zhong Yi took off the plastic gloves on his hands and walked to the kitchen, turned on the faucet, washed his hands three times, opened the locker and took out Biluochun, which Zhong's father cherished, thought about it, leaned out half of his body and asked, "What do you drink?" ”

Worst! Zhong Yi covered his mouth with both hands, he was really used to killing people, and he almost showed his stuffing, and finally pulled it back: "Dad, do you drink Biluochun or Pu'er tea?" ”

A meaningful smile crossed Xu Huaisheng's eyes, and Father Zhong turned his head to look at the voice coming from the kitchen, and muttered: "Why are you so slow to make tea, do you have such a hospitality gift." ”

Zhong Yi pursed his lips, pulled back, put Bi Luochun back in the locker, poured two glasses of lemon and honey water, brought it out of the kitchen, approached the living room and put it down on the coffee table in front of Father Zhong and Xu Huaisheng.

"Classmate Xu, you must be thirsty all the way, drink water, you're welcome." Father Zhong smiled, kept signaling Zhong with his eyes, asked her to make a tea, and finally brought two cups of lemon and honey water.

Xu Huaisheng should be really thirsty, first took a sip, and finally during the intermittent conversation with Father Zhong, a glass of water had already reached the bottom of the cup.

"I'm making you a drink?"

Xu Huaisheng nodded, and handed the glass to Zhongyi: "I'm in trouble." ”

When the conversation was almost over, Xu Huaisheng raised his wrist and looked at the time on his watch, got up and said goodbye: "Uncle, it's not too early, I should go back too." ”

"That's right. Favorite, send Xu classmate. Father Zhong glanced at Zhongyi, and his eyes kept hinting at her cleverness.

"Classmate Xu, let's go." Zhong Yi forced a smile to open the door and walked out of the room.

Father Zhong looked at the backs of the two leaving, and thought to himself that his wife should also let go of her heart, and meet a classmate from the same school, and they can take care of each other in the future.

"Why did you come to my house all of a sudden? Without prior notice...... "I'm so mentally prepared." choked in the second half of the sentence, she really hasn't been in the sun for a long time, her head is rusty, and her mobile phone has been confiscated after being banned from the Internet, how could Xu Huaisheng inform her in advance.

"And then?" Xu Huaisheng's focus was not on how to inform her, but only on what she said in the second half of her pause.

"Then you'll come to my house." Zhong Yi lowered his head, and his ears slowly turned red. How does it sound like you're flirting with him......

"You're not happy?"

"Happy." Zhong Yi was afraid that if he answered later, he would think of the bad things.

"Next time, don't run around alone, your family is very worried about you." Xu Huaisheng's tone softened a little, and even when he looked at her, he could pinch out the water tenderly: "I'm also very worried about you." ”
