3 Chapter III
The translucent light shone overhead, casting a line of gray shadows under his eyelids.
Jin Zhou glanced at Xu Huaizheng lightly and did not give him a response.
His gaze crossed his shoulder and fell to An Zhiyu, who had retreated to a safe distance.
"Miss An," Jin Zhou raised his hand: "I'll return your key." β
Xu Huaizheng was still staring at him incredulously, "Mr. Jin, Mr. Jin, why are you here?" β
Only then did Jin Zhou put his gaze back on his face, and looked at him shallowly: "Do you know me?" β
Of course Xu Huaizheng knew him, but he also knew that he was just a small department manager, and it was far from enough to make Jin Zhou remember.
"Iβmy name is Xu Huaizheng, I work at the Jin family, and currentlyβ"
But Jin Zhou didn't give him enough time to introduce himself, and his tone sounded tepid: "It's so late, you are making a lot of noise here, which affects the rest of others." β
Xu Huaizheng's face suddenly turned like earth: "I'm sorry Mr. Jin, I, I didn't know you lived here!" β
Seeing that Jin Zhou's eyebrows began to twist together, Xu Huaizheng knew that he had talked too much: "I'm sorry Mr. Jin, I, I'll leave!" After saying that, he didn't even greet An Zhiyu with his brother, and hurried out of the corridor.
It wasn't until the sound of the elevator "ding" that Jin Zhou withdrew his gaze.
An Zhiyu had already walked to the door, "Thank you." β
She knew that this person should have heard the noise outside before coming out, maybe it was because he was noisy, maybe he wanted to relieve her, either of them was good, if it wasn't for him just now, she really didn't dare to think about what Xu Huaizheng would do to her.
Jin Zhou handed the key to her while pretending to be casual: "Do you live alone?" β
An Zhiyu took the key in his hand and said "um" lightly.
"Girls live alone, pay attention to safety."
An Zhiyu looked up at him.
She is no stranger to the title "Mr. Jin", in addition to Xu Huaizheng's frequent mention, financial news often reports on him.
But today is the first time An Zhiyu has seen him in real person.
He is very tall, and his delicate facial features are patched together, a little flamboyant and a little restrained, like a thick and colorful painting.
An Zhiyu smiled apologetically at him: "I'm sorry to disturb you." β
"Didn't bother." After speaking, Jin Zhou bowed his head to her: "Rest early." β
Two doors, one after the other, slammed shut.
An Zhiyu felt scared in hindsight.
Tonight's Xu Huaizheng is a stranger to An Zhiyu.
Half a year of getting along is not short, but it really takes half a year to get to know a person, maybe it's just scratching the surface, not to mention that in these half a year, they don't have much time to get along, and it is precisely because of this that his impression of Xu Huaizheng is only on the surface.
An Zhiyu sat on the sofa with his knees crossed, thinking about the picture of eating or chatting with Xu Huai in the past, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that he was like two people tonight.
But no matter what, it is also a kind of luck to be able to see a person's face clearly before marriage.

Jin Zhou's work and rest are regular, and when there is no work to deal with, he is used to going to bed at eleven o'clock.
The biological clock at seven o'clock allows him to wake up naturally, and after a simple wash, he will go out for a jog.
It's just that I didn't expect that as soon as the door opened, there was a "tick" sound on the other side.
The four looked at each other, and both of them had surprises on their faces.
"Early." A shallow smile rose to the corner of his mouth, and Jin Zhou politely greeted her first.
An Zhiyu is not a warm person, but others are polite, and she always has to respond.
So she also replied "morning".
The two entered the elevator one after the other.
Jin Zhou stood behind her half a meter away, and as far as his eyes could see, he could see the piercings behind her earlobes.
His gaze only dared to be presumptuous and short-lived, and Jin Zhou withdrew his gaze.
The elevator stopped, and as when she came in, Jin Zhou walked out one step behind her.
There was a person behind her, which made An Zhiyu always feel like she was being followed, so she slowed down.
The afterglow was already holding her back, so when he saw the movement of her feet slowing down, Jin Zhou's feet couldn't help but slow down.
So the distance between the two remains the same as before, one before and one behind.
Just a second before An Zhiyu let go of the corners of her lips and turned her head, the person behind her spoke before her.
"Miss Ann."
Although Jin Zhou wanted to call her full name, for her, today was just the second time they met, and Jin Zhou felt that such a title was not rude.
Although he is never rude when dealing with people.
An Zhiyu stopped, turned his head to look at him, asked in his eyes, and did not make a sound.
Jin Zhou walked up to her and separated him from her at a normal social distance: "I wonder if there is a supermarket here?" Just like yesterday, after Wen Sheng's inquiry, he explained: "I just arrived here, and I am not very familiar with the neighborhood. β
When you move to a new place, you can't get rusty.
Out of politeness, An Zhiyu replied: "There is a 24-hour convenience store two hundred meters to the right when you go out. β
"Thank you."
After that, the two walked outside the community, one left and one right.
Unlike yesterday's white shirt and black trousers, Jin Zhou wore a thick cardigan when he went out today, with a mid-length style, and the hem of the cardigan without buttons swayed gently as he walked.
One by one, he got into the afterglow of An Zhiyu's slight drooping.
The morning wind poured cool air, and after retracting the afterglow a few times, An Zhiyu suddenly realized that he was also wearing a sweater and cardigan.
It's just that he's black, and hers is milky.
"Why don't you sleep a little more on the weekend?"
A voice suddenly came from beside him, and An Zhiyu reflexively turned his head.
is not as polite as before, what he said just now, it seems that they are already very familiar with each other.
Looking at each other, An Zhiyu quietly withdrew the surprise in his eyes, and said lightly: "I usually get used to getting up early at work." β
But she looked tired, as if she hadn't slept well all night.
Also, whoever encounters something like last night will be uneasy.
When he arrived at the door, Jin Zhou stopped: "So now is it time to go to breakfast?" β
She nodded, and after a soft "um", she looked south: "The convenience store is right in front." β
Jin Zhou followed her gaze and turned his head to look, "Thank you." β
An Zhiyu pursed his lips and smiled, not saying that he was polite.
The sky was gloomy and cloudy.
It's perfect for snuggling up at home, watching an unaccompanied movie, or taking a long lazy nap.
There were not many people in the breakfast shop on the weekend, and when she was about to finish eating, An Zhiyu looked up at the opposite side, and the figure that people could remember at a glance just fell into her eyes.
When I came back last night, I met him in the elevator, and I went out in the morning and opened the door at the same time.
The number of coincidences, in less than twenty-four hours, is particularly frequent.
An Zhiyu is a person who rarely 'complains' to her friends, and when she received a call from Chu Feifei, she couldn't help but mention it.
"Really?" Chu Feifei was shocked: "Are you sure it's the same person?" β
Xu Huaizheng called him Mr. Jin, and there would definitely be no fake.
However, knowing Xu Huaizheng until now, it is the first time that An Zhiyu has seen him so groveling.
Thinking carefully about his humble posture last night, I still felt a little uncomfortable at the time, but now I feel quite happy.
Seeing that she didn't speak, Chu Feifei said "hey": "What do you think?" β
An Zhiyu came back to his senses: "It's a person." β
Chu Feifei couldn't figure it out: "You don't live in a high-end community, why did he move there, and it's still so far away from their company!" β
An Zhiyu drank porridge while listening to the broken thoughts on the other end of the phone with interest.
The other end of the phone didn't squeak for a long time, and Chu Feifei "belched": "Did you listen to me?" β
An Zhiyu had a sad face: "You say... If I let Xu Huaizheng take the initiative to tell my mother to postpone the marriageβ"
"My eldest miss," Chu Feifei interrupted her, "what do you think!" That kind of garbage, you don't kick it away, but you have to postpone the wedding? β
Knowing that she would be wrong about what she meant, An Zhiyu told her what she was planning.
"What if that cheap man doesn't want to?"
"I have a video of him and that woman in my hand, and he won't want to!"
Chu Feifei smiled: "Yes, I will keep my hands behind!" Speaking of this, she was filled with righteous indignation: "If I were you, I would simply put that video on the Internet, and let that pair of dog men and women accept the judgment of the majority of netizens."
Compared with Chu Feifei, An Zhiyu has a calm temperament: "In a society governed by the rule of law, his derailment is a moral issue, but if I put the video on the Internet, I will bear legal responsibility if I don't say it well." β
Chu Feifei couldn't refute it, but in her heart she was worthless for An Zhiyu: "When I think of that pair of dog men and women are so happy together, I, I ......"
"Okay, don't talk about them, I really can't think of a better way now, you have more ideas than me, help me think about it."
Chu Feifei sighed: "According to your concerns, there is indeed no better way now. β
"Okay, I'll see how I tell Xu Huaizheng about this when I go back."
Broke up yesterday, and today seems to be fine, Chu Feifei couldn't figure it out: "Is your strength for breaking up a little too slow?" β
Chu Feifei is deeply touched by the stages she has to go through after the breakup, I don't know if her best friend is born a little dull to feelings, but no matter how dull she is, she shouldn't be so calm, right?
Seeing that she didn't speak, Chu Feifei guessed: "Did you already cry last night?" β
An Zhiyu flatly denied: "No." β
Chu Feifei didn't believe it, but when she was hard-mouthed, she diverted the topic: "You said that you met Jin Zhou when you just went out?" β
"Well, what's wrong?"
Chu Feifei smirked twice: "Anyway, I'm fine today, I'll go to you later!" β
An Zhiyu understood what she meant: "Don't make a mess!" β
"How can this be a mess, today is Sunday, if you can't tell me that the surname Xu will go to you, I will go to support you and slap him twice by the way!"
An Zhiyu no longer wants to have anything to do with Xu Huaizheng: "No need, he shouldn't come today." β
"How do you know?"
Based on An Zhiyu's understanding of Xu Huaizheng, he just ate ashes at Jin Zhou's place last night, and it is impossible for him to hit the wall again today.
So if he wants to come to the door to 'make trouble' in the future, he will also take care of her neighbor at the door.
Thinking about it this way, An Zhiyu suddenly felt that it was good for an ex-boyfriend's boss to live in the opposite door.
This person, who can stomp Xu Huaizheng under his feet regardless of his family background or conversational temperament, just walked to the door of the unit.
"Hello."
Jin Zhou turned his head.
A very young woman stood behind him, and Jin Zhou politely replied, "Hello." β
Even if he is dressed casually, it does not reduce his compelling noble temperament in the slightest.
The woman's eyes were fixed on his face, and after a brief moment of stunnedness, she hurriedly handed over an album: "I do home design, this is a case I have done before, if you need to-"
"I'm sorry," he said politely, even if he refused, "I don't need that for the time being." β
With that, he turned around.
Maybe it was to sell, or maybe it was the man's appearance and bearing that made people think about something else, the woman didn't have time to think about it, and at the moment when the door was about to close, she caught the doorknob, and she quickly chased after Jin Zhou, "It's okay, you can look at this album first-"
Jin Zhou is a person who doesn't like to repeat the same words twice.
He turned around again: "Do you live here?" His voice was as gentle as before, but his eyes were colder.
seems to be a gentle and gentle person, but in fact, it is not easy to approach at all.
The woman subconsciously took a step back, and wanted to say something more, but was shocked in place by his slightly warning eyes.
Jin Zhou didn't speak again, and stood there motionless, his gaze falling over the other party's head to the door behind her.
If he can convey the meaning with his eyes, he will try not to speak.
It was at that time that An Zhiyu walked to the door.
A man and a woman, one in front of the other, stand face to face in the door, and whoever looks at it will have room for imagination.
An Zhiyu's eyes flashed with a brief moment of surprise and stunned, and he didn't know whether to go in or turn around for a while.
And the moment she appeared, Jin Zhou also saw her.
The thin coldness in his eyes suddenly lifted the clouds and revealed a shallow smile.
But she could also see the hesitation on her face, Jin Zhou retracted his gaze and looked at the woman blocking the door, "If you don't live here, please go out." Although the tone was light, the meaning of driving people away could be clearly heard.
The embarrassed look on the woman's face grew, and she turned around after saying sorry.
Seeing the album in the other party's arms, An Zhiyu probably guessed something.
"Come in."
Raising his gaze to his breezy and moon-like face, An Zhiyu couldn't hold back for a while, lowering his eyes and secretly bending the corners of his mouth.
But he was still captured by Jin Zhou.
"Laughing at what?"
He didn't have a questioning tone, but an embarrassment that was rarely revealed in his questioning voice.
originally wanted to say that it was nothing, but somehow, An Zhiyu blurted out: "Are you often accosted like this?" β
Maybe it's a pick-up, but it's not all.
So he said, "She just asked me if I needed a home design, don't get me wrong." β
It seems to be a very casual explanation, but I can hear it in my ears, but I feel that something is wrong.
Does he care a lot about other people's eyes?
This is a question that An Zhiyu shouldn't think about when he stood behind him and looked at the hem of his black sweater, but he couldn't help but think about it.
The elevator stopped on the eighth floor, the door opened, Jin Zhou stood sideways, and the gentlemanly lady gave priority.
One after the other stepped out of the elevator door, they turned their backs to each other and walked towards their door.
What An Zhiyu didn't expect was that as soon as the door opened, a sentence suddenly came from behind him: "Can you stop introducing me to blind dates in the future?" β
