Chapter 15: [Too Fateful]

Xia Chengyou knew that his parents liked Zhou Huaiyu very much since he was a child, and thought that he was handsome, had good grades, had good character, had a good family background, and was modest. It is a rare character for the children of rich families.

I remember when I was six years old, I brought Zhou Huaiyu to my home for the first time to play. He opened his study, took the Luban lock and Kong Ming lock to Zhou Huaiyu, and asked him to help untie it.

Because Xia Chengyou really can't solve it, and he doesn't like to play with these educational toys. But Qiu Cheng likes to buy him these educational toys very much, and also asks him to play every day, saying that they can inspire thinking and so on.

In order not to disappoint Qiu Cheng, Xia Chengyou thought about letting Zhou Huaiyu untie it, but it was all unraveled quickly. Xia Chengyou looked stupid, and he looked stupid like this.

But it was finally solved. It just so happened that Qiu Cheng went home. Xia Chengyou's brain and melon seeds flashed, and with a smile, he took out the unlocked Luban lock and showed it to Qiu Cheng.

"Mom, I've got it all untied." Xia Chengyou's fleshy and small face showed an expectant expression.

But Qiu Cheng saw that something was wrong at a glance: "Did you really untie it?" Didn't lie to me? ”

Xia Chengyou's smile froze, his brain was running quickly, and he was a little hesitant to answer.

Qiu Cheng snorted lightly: "Who untied it for you?" ”

Careful eyes were seen through, Xia Chengyou had no choice but to admit it, saying, "My good friend Zhou Huaiyu." ”

Then Qiu Cheng saw the little Zhou Huaiyu on the stairs, and said with a smile: "Not bad, I'm quite good at making friends, handsome and smart." ”

"Hehe," Xia Chengyou was praised by his mother and had a smile on his face, "He lives next to my house." ”

"It turned out to be a neighbor," Qiu Cheng said to Zhou Huaiyu, "and I often come to play after that." ”

The call continued, Xia Chengyou retracted his thoughts, and didn't dare to look at Zhou Huaiyu's eyes again. I heard Qiu Cheng say on the phone: "Have you ever planned to go back to Nancheng to work?" The development of Jiangcheng is not as good as that of Nancheng. You're not going to settle in Jiangcheng, are you? ”

Xia Chengyou straightened up: "Oh, I've already returned to Nancheng." ”

"Then why don't you say it?" Qiu Shen's tone was a little dissatisfied.

Xia Chengyou hurriedly said, "I've only been back for about a week. ”

"And where do you live? What company do you work for? "Qiu Shen.

Xia Chengyou accidentally glanced at Zhou Huaiyu again, looked away, and said cautiously: "I'm ...... Ah Yu works in the company and also lives in Ah Yu's home. ”

There was silence on the other end of the line for a few seconds. Finally, Qiu Cheng spoke, and her voice was very calm: "When did you two get in touch?" ”

"It was, just a while ago. Ah Yu went on a business trip to Jiangcheng and happened to meet him, and then I went back to Nancheng with him. Xia Chengyou touched the hem of his clothes. He didn't say the details.

Qiu Cheng sighed imperceptibly. The tone was not as relaxed as before, and he said: "Eight years ago, you went to study in a foreign university without telling us. At that time, Ah Yu was very angry and came to the house and asked me and your father why you did this. I didn't know what you were thinking, and I couldn't answer him. He moved after he left that day and has not been in touch since. I thought you two had some contradictions, and they would never cross paths again. I didn't expect him to bring you back eight years later. ”

Xia Chengyou held her mobile phone tightly, listened carefully to Qiu Cheng's words with straight eyes, and her heart was slowly sinking, sinking, uncomfortable, and bitter. Asked: "He came to the house and asked...... Is it? ”

Qiu Cheng: "If you don't say goodbye, of course he has to come and ask." After all, you have been friends since you were six years old, and after so many years of friendship, you can break it if you say it, and anyone will be angry. I remember that it was raining heavily that day, and Ah Yu was soaking wet when he stood at the door, and he had never seen him so embarrassed, so panicked that he forgot to play the umbrella. ”

Xia Chengyou's eyes were sad, and he lowered his head slightly, not daring to look at Zhou Huaiyu's expression at this time.

He seemed to be able to imagine that the eighteen-year-old Zhou Huaiyu was wet with pride and dignity in the rain, and knocked on the door of his house angrily and frustratedly, wanting to get the reason for his betrayal from Qiu Xi.

However, Qiu Cheng didn't know that this completely trampled on Zhou Huaiyu's self-esteem.

Zhou Huaiyu may think - it turns out that this friendship is not a fart in your Xia Chengyou's eyes.

Xia Chengyou choked up a little. At the age of eighteen, he is really very ignorant, stupid, and timid. was extremely afraid that his crush would be discovered by Zhou Huaiyu and disgusted with him, so he thought about going to study in other places, thinking that time could dilute his unbearable thoughts.

And the reason why he didn't say goodbye at that time was that the idea was very simple - as long as he walked quietly, he would not have to face Zhou Huaiyu's questioning, he would not be reluctant to let Zhou Huaiyu go, and he would not be seen by Zhou Huaiyu.

Qiu Shen: "I don't know what happened to the two of you, and I don't want to ask about this." Since you're back in Nancheng, let's pick a time to take Ayu home for a meal. I haven't seen Ah Yu for eight years, and your dad has been talking about him many times. ”

"yes, okay." Xia Chengyou lowered his head.

Suddenly, a voice changed on the other end of the phone, between a man and a boy, and said, "Brother, go home early, I haven't seen you and Brother Ayu for a long time." ”

"Got it. Go to bed early. Xia Chengyou said.

Xia Chengye is his younger brother, who is about to read the first year of high school, and has already begun to change his voice, and his size has jumped quickly. looks more like his father, his facial features are more three-dimensional than his, and he looks more mature.

The call finally ended, and Xia Chengyou silently put the phone back in his pants pocket. His breathing was a little messy, and he was bold enough to slowly look up at Zhou Huaiyu.

The night was dark, and as soon as the phone was hung up, the room was surprisingly quiet, and there was not even the sound of Zhou Huaiyu flipping through the book. The air seemed to be compressed, and Xia Chengyou felt a lot of pressure.

"Huaiyu, I'm sorry." Xia Chengyou's voice was low, especially soft in the silent night.

Zhou Huaiyu's eyes were as dark as night, his eyebrows were cold, and he pursed his thin lips without saying a word. At this moment, his pupils moved slightly, and his body leaned lazily on the back of the chair as if he had unloaded his strength, restricting a little oppression, unwilling to say more on this issue, and said, "Go back to sleep." ”

Xia Chengyou looked at him: "My mother said that she would take you home for a meal when she was free, you, would you like to?"

Zhou Huaiyu closed the book on the table and stood up: "Let's go a few days." ”

Does that mean willing?

Xia Chengyou's heart rippled slightly, but the corners of his eyes and eyebrows couldn't hide the joy and expectation, and his eyes lit up again: "Great, they will be very happy to see you." ”

The next day, Zhou Huaiyu changed the tires of the BMW M5.

In the past few days, when he came home from work, Xia Chengyou drove the car to practice. After practicing for a few days, I finally felt that I could drive to the company.

I drove carefully and cautiously along the way, and the speed was relatively slow, and I was urged by the driver behind me several times.

It wasn't until he finally drove the car to the garage intact that Xia Chengyou breathed a sigh of relief.

The garage is large and there are several hundred parking spaces.

Xia Chengyou wanted to park in the farthest corner, after all, he was still worried that his colleagues would find out that the car belonged to Zhou Huaiyu, although Zhou Huaiyu said that he rarely drove this car. But so many people in the company who have a crush on Zhou Huaiyu will definitely pay attention to Zhou Huaiyu's words and deeds.

As soon as he parked the car and got out of the car, he heard someone not far behind him shouting to him: "Bucao? You came here by car today. ”

Xia Chengyou closed the car door and saw that the person was a colleague from the second group of the art department, named Sun Tan, twenty-seven or eighteen years old, wearing a plaid shirt, walking this way.

"M5, not bad, the grass, the family is very solid, I thought you were the rich second generation before, it's true. Eh, this car seems to be the same as Zhou. Sun Tan walked around the car.

Xia Chengyou was a little nervous, and quickly changed the topic: "Did you eat breakfast, I bought pancakes, roasted wheat, and buns, what do you eat?" ”

Sun Tan waved his hand, and when he saw the license plate number, he was a little surprised: "99600? This license plate number is also very similar. By the way, Mr. Zhou's license plate number is 99800 or 99600, I only saw him drive this car once, and I can't remember it clearly for too long. ”

He stretched out his hand and beckoned to another colleague: "Curly hair, let's see if this license plate number is very similar to Mr. Zhou's." ”

The person who was called Curly came over and tilted his head to look at the license plate number: "I can't remember Mr. Zhou's license plate number either." But even if this car is the same model, the license plate number is also similar, so it's too fateful. ”

Xia Chengyou stubbornly pulled the two of them: "There's nothing to see, let's go to work." ”

At this time, an orange McLaren GT sports car drove over, and the window slid down, revealing Shang Yixin's graceful and handsome face: "Mr. Shang's license plate number is 99800. ”

"Oh, I still have a good memory." Sun Tan didn't think much about it, and was pulled forward by Xia Chengyou.

Xia Chengyou turned his head and showed Shang Yixin an expression of thanking your whole family, you will be my comrade-in-arms from now on.

Shang Yixin hooked his lips, his peach blossom eyes bent into a charming smile, and his eyebrows were all amorous. There was an interested light in his pupils.

It's really interesting, Zhou Huaiyu never lends his personal belongings to others, such as cars. Now he actually drove the car to this innocent little bamboo horse. It seems that the relationship between the two is not generally good.

After arriving at the art department, Xia Chengyou gave a bag of steamed buns for breakfast to Ah Fei, and gave pancakes and siu mai to the team leader.

The team leader's name is Wang Yanchu, although he is thirty years old, he looks very young, like a twenty-seven or eight-year-old boy. The facial features are light and handsome, 1.85 meters tall, wearing a simple cotton and linen shirt and loose slacks, and wearing a ring without patterns on his thumb. Usually quiet, gentle and gentle, there is a kind of quiet temperament.

Xia Chengyou has a good impression of the team leader, because he is very similar to his senior in college.

He reviewed the work tasks he had completed overtime yesterday to the team leader.

Wang Yanchu's workstation was by the window, his fine forehead hair was casually hidden in front of his forehead, and a pair of quiet eyes looked at the painting completed by Xia Chengyou on the computer, and showed a faint smile after a few minutes.

"Very nice. At first, I thought you were a recent college graduate, and I didn't give you more difficult tasks, and I wanted you to come step by step. I didn't expect me to underestimate you, but your drawing skills are very proficient, and it seems to be easy for you, right? Wang Yanchu turned his head to Xia Chengyou and said.

Xia Chengyou was so happy when he was praised, like a refreshing wind blowing, and he smiled and showed eight teeth: "Thank you team leader for your approval." ”

Indeed, the task assigned to him by Wang Yanchu is not difficult, that is, to design distinctive costumes for the little monsters in "The Ascension of the Queen of Ten Thousand Demons". He looked at the personalities and personalities of those little monsters, and easily designed the costumes.

"Ah, Xiao Xia's design is really good." Shrimp Plum came over to take a look.

Siyan also looked at it, raised his glasses and said, "That's right, our grass is not a vase." ”

Wang Yanchu looked at Xia Chengyou's clear and clean eyes and asked, "Where did you work before?" ”

"I worked as an art teacher at Jiangcheng Experimental Middle School." Xia Chengyou.

"Hello Mr. Xia!" Shrimp Plum is like a conspicuous bag, imitating a student calling him teacher.

"Hahaha, you don't look like a student at all," Siyan smiled exaggeratedly, turned his head and asked again, "The students must like you very much, after all, you are so good-looking and have a cute personality." ”

Xia Chengyou smiled embarrassedly: "It's okay." ”

Four Eyes: "Why do you suddenly want to go back to Nancheng to work?" Did you go back to Nancheng to get married? ”

Xia Chengyou shook his head: "No, my friend asked me to come back." ”

"It's good to come back, after all, Nancheng is your home." Wang Yanchu said with a smile.

Xia Chengyou pushed the pancakes and roasted wheat on the table in front of Wang Yanchu: "Team leader, let's have some breakfast." ”

"Eh, blatant bribery, I'm going to report you. Unless you give me a copy too. Shrimp Plum said pretentiously.

"Stinky and shameless." Four-eyed scolding him.

Wang Yanchu gently raised his hand and touched Xia Chengyou's head: "No need, thank you Xiao Xia." ”

Xia Chengyou was touched on the head. The team leader should approve of him, so he will be assigned more important tasks.

Suddenly, Zhou Huaiyu's voice came: "Xia Chengyou." ”

"Ah, yes!" Xia Chengyou stood up and turned his head.

Zhou Huaiyu stood at Xia Chengyou's workstation with his hands and arms in his hands, looking unpredictable. Just standing like this, the dignity and bearing of the whole body are extraordinary. Just such a glance attracted all of Xia Chengyou's attention and attention.

Zhou Huaiyu raised his eyebrows, and his eyebrows flew obliquely: "Come here." ”

Xia Chengyou walked over obediently.

Zhou Huaiyu: "Come to my office." ”

Xia Chengyou was slightly stunned and looked at Zhou Huaiyu for some reason.

The colleagues around me were also puzzled, but they all bowed their heads and didn't say anything.

After the two left, someone began to whisper -

"Mr. Zhou has been working so hard in our art department recently."

"And every time I only stare at Xiao Xia."

"I've been in the company for two years, and Mr. Zhou doesn't know my name. Xiao Xia has only been here for a few days and has been calling so clearly. ”

"yes, that's weird."
