Tempt Flirting/Camp With Love - Chapter 3
Cold winds blew in bursts, reminding those standing at the door that it was time to leave.
Yue Xingzhou looked at the curtain-like rain and was hesitating whether to rush into the rain. Qin Lezhi took out his umbrella from his bag, spread it open and raised it above his head.
After looking at each other with one look, Qin Lezhi smiled, took his arm, and the two walked to the parking place together.
The two of them walked for several minutes about ten meters away. When they stood in front of the car, Yue Xingzhou whispered: “ that. . . . . I’m going home. ”
Qin Lezhi held his arm and refused to let go, lowered his head and leaned on his chest, and said coquettishly: “ Just stay with me for a while longer. I’m afraid that at dawn I will find that all this is a dream. ”
Yue Xingzhou licked the corners of her lips, her eyes not knowing where to put them.
After a while, he raised his hand and hugged Qin Lezhi’s back.
The two of them looked crowded under a lady’s umbrella. The night rain drifted to Qin Lezhi’s neck. It was so cold that she shuddered, but she still did not let go.
“cold? ”
Yue Xingzhou asked.
Qin Lezhi hugged Yue Xingzhou tighter and tighter, “ it won’t be cold if you are here. ”
“um.” Yue Xingzhou said, “ I really have to go back and go to work tomorrow morning. ”
Hearing this, Qin Lezhi let go of Yue Xingzhou. When he looked up at him, there was misty water vapor in his eyes. His whole body was so weak that it seemed that the rain could shower her with more rain.
She hooked Yue Xingzhou’s little finger and shook it gently, “ Xingzhou, I hope you will think carefully about what I said today. Whatever she can give you, I can give it to you, and whatever she can’t give it to you, I can give it to you too. ”
After saying that, she let go and whispered: “ my brother-in-law is still waiting for me, I will leave first. ”
Yue Xingzhou watched calmly as Qin Lezhi sat into a Rolls-Royce, his eyes flashing under the street lights above his head, and his Adam’s apple moving slightly.
He turned around and walked slowly towards his car.
At night, his eyes blurred, he took out his car keys, pressed the unlock key, reached for the door, but touched something hard.
When he saw clearly what it was, his heartbeat suddenly accelerated, his bl00d surged, his consciousness instantly went blank, and his nerves were about to burst.
——
Three forty-five in the morning.
The rain must have stopped, and the whistle on the road was harshly clear.
Zheng Shuyi was lying flat on the bed, looking at the ceiling with her eyes open, her mind buzzing and chaotic, but her heart was empty, as if she had been evacuated of oxygen.
She didn’t have time when she came back. She went to the utility room to take out a cardboard box and put in everything Yue Xingzhou had given her these days.
She made a list of some that she couldn’t pay back, and planned to discount them all to him.
Including Song Lelan’s concert tickets, which were originally planned to be seen by two people together, now he can only return the money for the other ticket to him.
At this moment, she just needs to wait quietly for Yue Xingzhou to come to her.
Not long after, the doorbell rang.
With Zheng Shuyi’s understanding of him, he must be covered in rain now, standing pitifully outside the door, waiting to explain to her and beg her for forgiveness.
She even expected the line, and the opening was “, you listen to my explanation ”, and then he would blush his eyes and pull the corners of her clothes, just like he had confessed to her.
Thinking of this, Zheng Shuyi himself smiled.
It feels like it’s all a dream.
She didn’t have much strength when she got up, but she still appeared in front of Yue Xingzhou with strong energy.
There was only one light in the corridor, dim but dark enough to illuminate Qingyue Xingzhou’s face.
He held an umbrella with blue lace edges in his hand, and his hair was soft but clean, with no water stains on his body.
It’s different from Zheng Shuyi’s imagination.
He bowed his shoulders, lowered his head, glanced at Zheng Shuyi, and then immediately lowered his eyes.
“lettering. . . . . ”
Zheng Shuyi raised his chin, and when he was about to say the rehearsed words of never forgiving, he heard the other person say: “ let’s break up. ”
Zheng Shuyi:“…..?”
“I love you very much and want to be with you forever, but this kind of life is too tiring and I can never see where the node is. I want to buy a small house in this city, which is a luxury. I. . . . ”
“etc. ” Zheng Shuyi came to his senses and quickly interrupted him, “ what do you mean? ”
“meaning.” He frowned, gritted his teeth, and said what was in his heart in one breath, “ we all need to be realistic! Her family is unusual. Her brother-in-law drives a Rolls-Royce, and even the license plate number is a serial number. This is the only one in Jiangcheng! With money and power, I also want Pingbu Qingyun to reach the state twenty years later. I. . . . . I think we are still suitable to be friends. ”
Zheng Shuyi almost didn’t come up in one breath, leaving only one nail cover away from his death on the spot.
So in the end, before she even spoke, she was dumped by a preemptive strike?
“Yue Xingzhou.” Zheng Shuyi held his breath, grabbed the door frame tightly, and said word by word, “ have my mobile phone been brought up? ”
“brought, brought up. ”
Yue Xingzhou still didn’t dare to look at her. After glancing at her hastily, he lowered his head and took out his phone.
Zheng Shuyi grabbed his mobile phone, took a deep breath, and kicked the carton and Yue Xingzhou out in one go.
“who the hell wants to be your friend! Be your ancestor! ”
——
The sound of slamming the door resounded throughout the corridor. Zheng Shuyi could still feel the vibration of the door panel when she leaned on the door panel, and she followed her chest one after another to ensure that she would not carry it away in one breath.
After a quiet moment, there was finally a sound of footsteps outside the door.
Zheng Shuyi couldn’t hold back the last glimmer of expectation, hoping that Yue Xingzhou could still be a human being.
So she turned around and looked out of the cat’s eyes, but saw Yue Xingzhou walking two steps with the carton in her arms. Suddenly she squatted down again, put the carton on the ground, and then buried her head in looking for something inside.
The boxes were full of things sent by Yue Xingzhou, including ceramics, decorations, books, and many scattered gadgets.
After a while, he took out something small and put it in his coat bag, but dropped the box and went into the elevator.
No, right?
Zheng Shuyi was confused and blinked hard.
If she read it correctly, what Yue Xingzhou took was the only valuable gold brooch in the box?!
At this moment, anger came overwhelmingly, drowning out all pretentious emotions, shredding the filter of time in the past few years, and bloodily tearing up the worst side of Yue Xingzhou’s quality and spreading it in front of Zheng Shuyi, which could not tolerate any more nostalgia, even the most impressive beautiful memories were wiped out in an instant and turned into flying debris that ignited anger.
Zheng Shuyi threw himself on the bed, turned over and beat the pillow, but still couldn’t erase the pictures in his mind.
Every time she closed her eyes, she remembered Yue Xingzhou’s look of being with her as if she had been wronged, which made Zheng Shuyi open his eyes alive until dawn.
But she only took half a day off, and she still dressed up and went to the company in the afternoon.
Scumbags can be thrown away, performance cannot be thrown away.
——
“A phone call came from Mingyu Bank, and the interview was pushed to 3pm next Thursday. ” Editor-in-chief Tang also called her into the office and looked at the computer head without raising it. “, but it is best to change the topic. You can submit a new outline to me as soon as possible. ”
“oh.”
Tang also heard Zheng Shuyi’s lifeless voice and raised his eyebrows, “ this is a common thing, you have had a smooth journey, just because you are beautiful. Do you know how many reporters make ten calls, five are always in meetings, three are always perfunctory, and two are never convenient for interviews. You should be angry now, what will you do in the future? ”
“I’m not angry. Speaking of which, I still have to thank the banquet. ” Zheng Shuyi said in a tone without ups and downs, “ otherwise how could I find out that my boyfriend, oh no, my ex-boyfriend cheated? ”
“what? Became an ex-boyfriend? ”
Tang Yi seemed to be shocked, but when it came to the last word, the ending sound was raised and his eyebrows were dancing, so he almost wrote the words ““ is very funny” on his face.
Zheng Shuyi:“…..”
“ouch.” In order not to let himself go too far, Tang Yi covered his mouth and said, “ shouldn’t I be so happy? ”
Zheng Shuyi didn’t have the strength to put on any expression, so he just said lightly: “ is okay, it’s just that the fishtail pattern laughed. ”
Tang Yi instantly changed his face, turned his head to look at the computer coldly, raised his middle finger and pressed the end of his eye. “ I told you a long time ago, your boyfriend can’t do it, what’s wrong with your condition? ”
“So what conditions should I have a boyfriend? ” Another scene from last night appeared in Zheng Shuyi’s mind, saying to himself, “ is paired with a Rolls-Royce. ”
“no? ” Tang Yi stood up and stuffed a document into her arms, “ you have knowledge, looks, a decent job, and an unlimited future. Why can’t you be worthy? ”
This “ has unlimited future ” is actually a plan given to Zheng Shuyi by Tang Yi a long time ago.
She originally poached Zheng Shuyi from the newspaper office in order to create a humanoid sign exclusively for “Financial Weekly”.
Zheng Shuyi graduated from one of the top financial universities in China, majoring in journalism. She was born in a class with excellent business skills. The little girl can still endure the hardships of being a Times reporter.
Most importantly, Tang also felt that she had extraordinary beauty.
Even in serious industries, beauty is a particularly eye-catching medium.
If you play it together with the cards “ academic qualification ” and “ ability ”, it will be a king blow.
Therefore, she felt that when Zheng Shuyi published a few high-profile works, “Financial Weekly” helped her again, and the two complemented each other, making her a famous reporter in the circle. In the future, walking in the financial circle will be like being in a deserted place, which will bring greater benefits to the magazine.
“oh.” Zheng Shuyi was too lazy to discuss this issue with Tang Yi. He looked down at what he was holding, “ what is this? ”
“There is a financial summit in the afternoon. If you can’t die, follow the clues. ”
Tang also waved to her, indicating that she could leave, “ and an interview with Mingyu Bank next week, be prepared. ”
This is the advantage of having an impersonal boss. Zheng Shuyi didn’t even have time to be pretentious. He went to the bathroom to make up his makeup and left the company in a hurry.
The summit was held at Jiangcheng New Financial Center. It is located on the remote Fourth Ring Road. It was only completed last year and is still in the development stage. There are basically no pedestrians on the road except cars.
But Zheng Shuyi is no stranger to this place, firstly because she often comes and goes here for interviews, and secondly because Yue Xingzhou’s workplace is here.
In the past, she would come here to wait for Yue Xingzhou to get off work if she had time, and then the two of them would go to dinner and watch a movie together, and then go to a dessert shop where she liked best to buy small cakes.
So much so that now that Zheng Shuyi had listened to the entire summit, he subconsciously turned into the dessert shop.
By the time she came to her senses, the clerk was already greeting her warmly.
Zheng Shuyi took out the egg tart she usually bought from the cabinet. The two red grapes on the yellow cheese looked very hateful to Yue Xingzhou.
The clerk stood aside and watched Zheng Shuyi show an enemy-like expression towards an egg tart.
“miss, that. . . . . ” the clerk said cautiously, “ it’s afternoon, buy an egg tart and get one free. ”
As soon as he finished speaking, the welcome sounded at the door, and the clerk quickly went to greet the new guests.
And Zheng Shuyi was still staring at the egg tart until a familiar voice sounded behind him.
She turned around suddenly, caught off guard and looked at Yue Xingzhou.
Yue Xingzhou was stunned for a moment, standing at the door not knowing whether to go any further.
After a moment, he then turned away, pulled the woman next to him and said: “ come and buy it tomorrow. ”
Only then did Zheng Shuyi notice that the woman he was holding was the one he saw in the hospital last night.
Don’t even look like it?
I came to break up with her last night, but today the two of them came out hand in hand and swagged across the market?
“no. ” Although Qin Lezhi saw Zheng Shuyi, she didn’t plan to leave. “ I’m used to eating at this house, and it’s uncomfortable not to eat for a day. ”
She walked up to Zheng Shuyi, took out a whole box of egg tarts on her side, and glanced at Zheng Shuyi as she stopped.
The look in her eyes obviously meant that she knew who Zheng Shuyi was from Yue Xingzhou, but she didn’t realize it as a third party at all. She even revealed a sense of pride, as if a person who rushed into the banquet barefoot and spat into the dishes was showing off to everyone that she had got the whole table of dishes.
Zheng Shuyi’s temple hurt suddenly from the look in her eyes.
Okay, I’ll bear it.
She threw away her egg tart and left the dessert shop without looking back.
But when she stepped out of the door, she suddenly thought of something, so she immediately stopped and turned around, just in time to meet Qin Lezhi looking at her with the eyes of a winner.
Zheng Shuyi looked down and saw the golden thing she was wearing on her scarf. Sure enough, it was the brooch that Yue Xingzhou took away last night?!
“. . . . ”
Although his expression was calm, it seemed that tens of millions of hot coals were crushing Zheng Shuyi’s chest back and forth, and his anger would burst out anytime and anywhere.
After walking for a few days, Zheng Shuyi finally couldn’t help it and kicked him in a big tree on the roadside.
Dashu was extremely scared at the time and had never seen such an angry woman.
Zheng Shuyi lowered his head, his chest rose and fell violently, and he clearly felt that his cheeks were burning because he was angry.
The car kept chirping on the road. She turned her head slightly and saw Yue Xingzhou and Qin Lezhi walking out.
Yue Xingzhou held the dessert box in his hand, and Qin Lezhi jumped into his co-pilot holding his arm.
Haven’t you learned to walk upright since you were just released from the zoo?
Zheng Shuyi stared in that direction until his teeth were biting and sore, then he stepped forward with his legs open.
She didn’t know what she was doing.
Instead of taking a taxi or going to the subway station, I walked step by step on this vast and lonely road so aimlessly.
I don’t know how long I walked, but it was getting dark. Zheng Shuyi stopped at an intersection and was about to stop a taxi.
Just as she was looking into the middle of the road, a car parked on the opposite street caught her attention by surprise.
As her eyes gradually focused, the bright Rolls-Royce logo seemed to be shining with gold.
The license plate number is the string she saw in the hospital last night, and it is also the “ serial number license plate ” in Yue Xingzhou’s mouth. This is the only one in Jiangcheng.
An idea quickly flashed through Zheng Shuyi’s mind, and what Tang Yi said to her today.
——“ you have knowledge, looks, decent work, and unlimited future. Why can’t you be worthy? ”
The cold wind blew freely on his face, but his thoughts surged in his mind like a heat wave.
Not very rational or calm, but in just three seconds, Zheng Shuyi made a decision that would subvert her future life.
Some people, if you don’t let him pay for what he did, he will not think you are free and easy, but will only think you are stupid.
Don’t you want to fight for twenty less years?
I think so too.
Don’t you want to lean against the mountains?
I think so too.
Even if I can’t make you pay the price, you will have to call me my aunt respectfully when you flatter me in the future.
When he thought of this, Zheng Shuyi was already standing by the car.
She looked at herself reflected in the car window and brushed her hair.
Although the face in the mirror was a little haggard, it was not a different kind of charm. It was different from Zheng Shuyi’s usual smart beauty. There was a pitiful sense of vulnerability at this moment.
She raised her hand and knocked on the car window.
There was no movement inside for a long time.
After a long time, when Zheng Shuyi almost thought there was no one in the car, the car window finally rolled down slowly.
At first, Zheng Shuyi only saw a pair of gold-rimmed glasses with anti-slip chains.
Then, the whole face slowly showed its integrity, and what followed was a curse word secretly cursed by Zheng Shuyi.
Anyone who has seen this face will not forget it for a short time. Zheng Shuyi naturally remembers that this was the person who proposed to send her home at Warner Manor last night.
But she didn’t expect that Qin Lezhi looked at Qing Tang Wushui’s face, and his uncle actually looked like this?
There didn’t seem to be much surprise when the man was knocked on the car window, he just looked over lightly.
Although embarrassing, Zheng Shuyi felt that it was not entirely a bad thing.
At least, wasn’t he that interested last night?
So Zheng Shuyi bent down and said softly: “Mr. “, my mobile phone is out of power and I can’t get a taxi. Can I borrow your mobile phone to make a call? ””
Shi Yan didn’t even turn his head, he just tilted his face slightly and looked at Zheng Shuyi sideways.
In his eyes, Zheng Shuyi couldn’t see what he meant, so he became confused and said: “ or, you can give me a ride if you want. ”
Shi Yan stared at her for a while.
His eyebrows and eyes were narrow and long, and the cold texture of his glasses suppressed the frivolity that raised his eyes.
After a few seconds, Shi Yan slowly looked back.
“my car doesn’t have a boyfriend’s woman. ”
Zheng Shuyi:“…..?”
The vehicle fell out in front of her and galloped towards the road.
