Zhou Jingze had a fever, and the condition was good and bad, which lasted for a day and a night. All the things that he didn't dare to recall these years all became a dream.
In the dream, just when he could no longer resist, Yan Ning rushed back. In front of his wife, Zhou Zhengyan played the role of a refined and gentle husband. As soon as he saw her coming back, he immediately went to pick up the big and small bags in her hand.
Yan Ning sat down and drank two sips of tea, pointed to the gift on the soft sofa, and said warmly: "Zheng Yan, I saw a beautiful Windsor knot when I was shopping in France. The style is very special, so I bought it for you."
"Thank you, wife." Zhou Zhengyan smiled and peeled a grape and fed it to Yan Ning.
"The one in the blue bag next to it belongs to Jingze. He wants a pen." Yan Ning bit the grape and pointed to the bag next to him, "Hey, what about others? Let him come over and see if he likes it."
Zhou Zhengyan's expression flashed for a moment of panic, and his tone was evasive: "He has gone to class."
"Okay, then I'll go to rest, to catch up with the jet lag." Yan Ning put down the cup in his hand.
Zhou Zhengyan also stood up, put his arms around Yan Ning's waist, kissed her on the cheek, and said in a doting tone, "Honey, I'm going to work, if you wake up, you can call me if you want something to eat. Buy it back for you."
"Okay." Yan Ning stretched.
After Zhou Zhengyan left, she stepped up the steps, and within two steps, she felt a throbbing pain in her heart. Yan Ning stopped to rest for a while, feeling that something bad had happened, and then walked up the stairs slowly.
After Yan Ning returned to the room, she removed her make-up and combed her hair in front of the mirror. For some reason, her eyelids twitched and her heart flustered.
Xing is a bond between mother and child, Yan Ning feels something is wrong, subconsciously worried about his son. Suddenly, she glanced down inadvertently, and there was a string of torn Buddhist beads lying on the ground.
Yan Ning's eyes froze, he picked it up, immediately called Zhou Zhengyan, and cut directly to the topic: "Where's my son?"
"Honey, didn't you say he went to school?" Zhou Zhengyan smiled apologetically over the phone.
"You're lying! He left all the Buddhist strings he brought with him at home." Yan Ning tried his best to calm down his emotions, but finally couldn't help it, and said sharply, "Zhou Zhengyan! If anything happens to my son, don't think about it! "
After finishing speaking, Yan Ning threw his phone to pieces. Aunt Tao asked for leave and went back to her hometown. She called the nanny in. After all, she was famous and had someone backing her at home. The whole person was trembling non-stop:
"The basement...the basement, sir locked him up there."
Before she finished speaking, Yan Ning rushed down, and when she found Zhou Jingze, she was sobbing so hard that she carried him out while wiping her tears.
In a daze, he heard his mother keep apologizing to him, and then he heard the emergency siren honking, and a group of people surrounded him. The doctor said that if Yan Ning sent it one step later, his ears would be deaf due to high fever.
Later, after Zhou Jingze recovered from his illness, he was afraid of the dark for a long time and could not stay alone or speak. It was his grandfather who took him back and taught him to play chess and model airplanes every day. After a long time, he Only slowly got better.
Fortunately, his grandfather taught him very well.
Yan Ning, because he was too soft-hearted and still had feelings for Zhou Zhengyan, reluctantly forgave him after he knelt down and confessed his mistake desperately.
Zhou Jingze has been living at his grandfather's house, and Yan Ning often came to persuade her to go home, until the third year when his grandmother became seriously ill, and his grandfather didn't have the energy to take care of him, it was Zhou Jingze who offered to go back to that home.
He was no longer afraid of Zhou Zhengyan. In the past three years, Zhou Jingze had learned Taekwondo and practiced fencing.
Weeds eventually grow wildly into big trees, which will not fall down when encountering strong winds, and will not scatter when encountering wind and sand. They live tenaciously, sharply, and arrogantly.
…
During the period when Zhou Jingze had a fever, Xu Sui took two days off to take care of him. After feeding him medicine, he repeatedly cooled his temperature.
Five or six in the afternoon, at dusk and sunset, the most beautiful time of the day. Xu Sui touched Zhou Jingze's forehead, seeing that the temperature had almost subsided, he got up and went to the kitchen, intending to make some porridge for him.
As soon as Xu Sui opened the door of the refrigerator, Xu Sui was startled. There were three layers of refrigeration without any ingredients. The top layer was the family's white peach milk that she often drank, the second layer was the carbonated drink he often drank, and the third layer was ice water. .
Not to mention the frozen layer, it is cleaner than the face of that young master.
Xu Sui closed the refrigerator door, took out his mobile phone, and ordered some ingredients and seasonings online. Half an hour later, the express delivery was delivered to the door.
Xu Sui walked into Zhou Jingze's kitchen with a milk straw in her mouth and a large bag of ingredients in her other hand. After a cursory glance, she found that except for the kettle, all other household appliances were new, and the labels had not been removed.
Xu Sui tilted his head to turn on the gas stove, and the blue flame jumped up, and then cleaned the millet and put it in the pot. After a while, there was a bubbling sound from the steamer.
Xu Sui washed his hands, took out a rubber band from his pocket, and tied up the hair behind his back. The original shoulder-length hair had grown to his waist because it hadn't been cut for a long time, and it took a lot of time to tie it. a little time.
After the porridge was cooked to a certain degree of heat, Xu Sui poured the cleaned ingredients—blocks of ribs, diced carrots, ginger, and yam—into the pot.
Xu Sui looked at the porridge in the pot while drinking milk. The profile of his face was quiet and beautiful. There were fine hairs falling from the back of the ear, and it was itchy when he rubbed his cheek. She just wanted to reach out to hook the ear, and a tall The shadow fell, and one hand took a quicker step to hook her broken hair behind her ear.
"Are you awake?" Xu Sui's eyes were filled with surprise.
"Is there any discomfort?"
Zhou Jingze put on a gray sweater casually, with a loose neckline, revealing two collarbones, messy hair on his forehead, a little pale lips, and a lazy smile:
"A little thirsty."
"Ah," Xu Sui let go of the straw he was biting on, and paused, "Then I'll get you some water."
Indoors, Xu Sui was wearing a white Dumbo sweater, holding a milk box in his right hand, a little milk was on his moist red lips, and his thick and long eyelashes drooped down, looking ridiculously obedient.
Zhou Jingze's eyes were dark, suppressing the turbulent emotions, when Xu Sui passed by him to get water, he reached out his hand to stop her waist.
Xu Sui was forced to slam into his chest, and when he raised his eyes, their noses were about to touch each other. Zhou Jingze pinched her chin with his hand, tilted his head and kissed her, licking off the milk on the corner of her lips bit by bit. The warm breath brushed against the neck, and the voice was hoarse:
"Isn't this ready-made?"
As the sun sank, the last ray of warm light was divided into small grids by the window next to the kitchen and fell on the two of them. The shadows intertwined, Xu Sui only felt hot, his waist was hit against the sink, but was blocked by a wide palm, all the milk between his lips was sucked away, and a drop unconsciously dripped on his collarbone.
Zhou Jingze bit it, and Xu Sui felt pain immediately, his thick black eyelashes trembled, and there was a tingling numbness in his collarbone.
Until the porridge in the pot made the sound of rapid topping, Xu Sui pushed him away, turned his face away, his voice was broken, but with an inexplicable coquettishness:
"Zhou Jingze! Porridge... porridge, hiss."
After shouting several times, Zhou Jingze let go of her, Xu Sui straightened his clothes, turned off the fire hastily, took out a portion of porridge, and a portion of winter melon and lily soup.
At the dining table, Xu Sui sat beside him, moved the porridge and soup to the side, and said, "Drink and watch."
It just so happened that Xu Sui's cell phone that was set aside made a "ding dong" sound. She clicked to see that it was Guan Xiangfeng's message, asking about Zhou Jingze's later reaction and symptoms.
Xu Sui replied seriously, so he naturally forgot about the people around him.
Zhou Jingze pulled away the chair, from sitting down to picking up the spoon, he found that the girl's eyes were not on him for a second. The eldest young master stirred the porridge with a spoon, and said without emotion:
"Xu Sui."
"Huh?" Xu Sui moved his eyes away from the phone.
"This porridge doesn't seem to have any salt." Zhou Jingze raised his eyebrows, his voice still a little hoarse.
"Really? Let me see." Xu Sui immediately put down his phone, took a sip of the porridge from his hand, and asked in confusion, "Why do I think it tastes good?"
"Really?" Zhou Jingze answered without changing his expression, then took the spoon and continued to drink the porridge.
Zhou Jingze was well-educated when he ate, and he ate in an orderly manner, with his cheeks puffing up slowly, as if he was tasting some delicious food. He gave Xu Sui a lot of face, and drank most of the porridge.
Xu Sui looked at the phone and raised his head: "How do you feel now?"
"It's like having a long dream. After it's over, I won't be afraid when I wake up." Zhou Jingze said slowly.
"You can get used to the closed and dark space now. If you sleep, you need to cooperate with drug treatment later." Xu Sui said.
The nightmare was over, and Zhou Jingze returned to his previous carefree and carefree appearance. The corners of his lips were raised, and his tone was serious but with a frank viciousness:
"Okay, you sleep with me."
Xu Sui's cheeks became hot quickly, she pretended to look at the time on the wall, her tone flustered for a moment: "It seems to be very late, if you are fine, I will go back to school first."
Xu Sui packed her bag in a panic, threw books, notes, hand cream, etc. into the bag angrily, put on a white down jacket and was about to go out.
"Xu Sui." Zhou Jingze called out to her.
"Yeah." Xu Sui looked back at him holding the bag.
Zhou Jing sat there, his dark and deep eyes nailed her in place, and his voice was faint:
"You will."
In the end, Xu Sui ran away, and when he walked out of Zhou Jingze's house, a gust of cold wind blew, his heartbeat was still accelerating, and the screen of the mobile phone he held in his hand lit up:
ZJZ: [I called you a car at the alley, and send me a message when I arrive.]
After Xu Sui returned to school, he plunged into the ocean of knowledge, desperately trying to make up for the notes left behind in the past two days, and went back and forth to the classroom or library all day long.
As for Zhou Jingze, he finally returned to school after disappearing for a whole week. He explained his situation to the head teacher. Although the teacher valued Zhou Jingze, he still followed the rules. punishment.
The teacher gave him a winter vacation and asked him to adjust as soon as possible.
"Be sure to adjust well, otherwise, even if you pass our test, you will still face difficulties in recruiting after graduation in the future."
Zhou Jingze accepted the punishment given by the school without any dissatisfaction. He nodded, "Thank you."
Xu Sui felt that she and Zhou Jingze had changed during this relationship. If the time at the ski resort was a mutual test of affection, she seemed to feel that Zhou Jingze really liked her this time.
When we first got together, Zhou Jingze was laissez-faire towards her, even if he cared about her, it was a casual gesture. Now, Zhou Jingze called and texted her more frequently, and even more quietly controlled her schedule.
On Friday, Xu Sui memorized books in the library all afternoon, and the classmates around her left one after another, and some people were holding meal cards and discussing the roast ribs in the cafeteria softly, and she realized that it was already evening.
Xu Sui glanced at the time, only to realize that it was six o'clock. She made an appointment with Zhou Jingze. He said that he would take her to try a new restaurant today. She hurriedly packed her books and ran downstairs.
Unexpectedly, I ran into Shi Yuejie downstairs, and Xu Sui was surprised. She hadn't seen Shi Yuejie for two months. I heard that he was already in graduate school. Some time ago, he went to Xi'an with his teacher to do a project .
"What a coincidence, Senior Brother." Xu Sui greeted him friendly.
Shi Yuejie shook his head: "No, I came here specially to find you."
"Looking for me?" Xu Sui said in surprise.
"Well," Shi Yuejie glanced at the students coming and going, with a gentle voice, "Can you change the place? I have something to tell you."
Xu Sui glanced at the time, and said in an apologetic tone, "I'm afraid I can't, I have a date with my boyfriend for dinner."
Hearing the word boyfriend, Shi Yuejie's expression froze a bit. Xu Sui thought that Shi Yuejie had something important to say, and pointed to the tree not far away: "Why don't we go there."
The two came under the tree one after another. Shi Yuejie's speech this time was not as indirect as before, and directly cut to the topic: "I heard that you and Jingze are together."
"Yes." Xu Sui was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect this to be what he was going to say.
"To be honest, it's a bit abrupt to tell you these words, but I'm sincere. Jingze is not as good as you seem on the surface. He... actually has an unknown side, and he promised to talk to you together. Maybe it was just a whim, just for fun, because—"
When it came to his mouth, Shi Yuejie seemed to be unable to speak, and then changed the subject: "I suggest you—"
To be honest, Xu Suizi thinks that she is a pretty good-tempered person, and she never takes the initiative to collide with others, but this time, she interrupted Shi Yuejie's speech:
"Thank you brother for your concern. I can feel what kind of person he is. We are doing well now." Xu Sui's tone was not very good, and he smiled, "I always like to listen to myself, and I don't like others to tell me. suggestion."
Xu Sui turned around and left with the book in her arms. She seemed to think of something, stopped and turned around: "Also, I don't want to hear someone say that he is not good anymore. If it is his friend, I won't say that about him behind my back."
Xu Sui walked out of the campus all the way, took out his mobile phone to check, Zhou Jingze sent her a message saying that. The sky was a bit dark and gloomy. Although she defended Zhou Jingze firmly in front of Shi Yuejie just now, his words still appeared in her mind from time to time along the way.
What is Zhou Jingze's other side? Could it be that he was really with her on a whim, with the attitude of casually dating anyone
After all, he will never be short of love.
After Xu Sui walked for about ten minutes, he opened the door and walked into the restaurant they had agreed upon. As soon as she entered the door, she saw Zhou Jingze with her back facing her. He was wearing a black sweater with white cuffs. The coat was draped over the back of the chair, and his elbows were resting on the table. He was studying the menu, in an unruly state. .
Zhou Jingze's face was left there, and it was a disaster of its own. After a while, a girl sitting next to her came up to ask for a phone number.
Xu Sui tightened his hand on the doorknob, and stopped for some reason. That strange self-esteem came out again, and she stood behind to see if Zhou Jingze would refuse.
The girl stood in front of him with a happy face and explained her reason for coming. Zhou Jingze moved his face halfway from the menu and glanced at her.
When Zhou Jingze was asked for his number, he usually gave it depending on his mood, or just ignored it.
Zhou Jingze took a look at the mobile phone at the side, and for the first time raised his hand to indicate that he had something to say to the girl. The girl bent down, the expression on her face was first happy, then depressed, and finally she smiled heartily, said something to him, and left .
After hearing this, Zhou Jingze relaxed his eyebrows and smiled very lightly.
Standing not far away, Xu Sui only felt tightness in his chest, the kind that he couldn't breathe. Shi Yuejie was right, maybe Zhou Jingze was with her on a whim for some other reason, maybe because of novelty, curiosity, whatever it was, it couldn't be serious.
She was in a daze when the very busy waiter who passed by accidentally bumped into Xu Sui, and a few drops of warm water splashed on her hair.
The waiter handed over the tissue and apologized repeatedly, Xu Sui took it and wiped it casually, shaking his head: "It's okay."
Zhou Jingze turned around when he heard the sound, and got up to come over. Xu Sui hurried over, sat down opposite Zhou Jingze, put down her bag, and said, "Sorry, I'm late."
"Didn't it be agreed last time, you have the right to be late," Zhou Jingze poured a cup of buckwheat tea for her, his tone slow.
Xu Sui took it and took a sip of tea without speaking, and reluctantly raised the corners of his lips.
Xu Sui likes to eat hot pot in the winter, everything is spicy, but Zhou Jingze's taste is mild, so she ordered a mandarin duck hot pot.
The atmosphere of the meal was very good, Zhou Jingze also took good care of her, he didn't move his chopsticks much during the whole process, he was rinsing something with one, and then put it into her bowl calmly.
"What are you thinking, huh?" Zhou Jingze's voice was low.
Xu Sui was staring at the bubbling meatballs in the butter pan in a daze. Hearing this, she came back to her senses. She lowered her head and took a bite of the lettuce, hiding a smile:
"I'm thinking about the question that the teacher gave this morning, it's a bit difficult."
"Difficult?"
"Well, it's too difficult to solve."
After eating, at eight o'clock, the two went back for a walk together. Zhou Jingze sent her all the way downstairs to the girls' dormitory. Xu Sui said "goodbye" to him and turned to go in.
The winter wind was so strong for no reason. Zhou Jingze stood on the spot and lit a cigarette in the cold wind. The smoke was exhaled from his thin lips. He squinted at her back and suddenly said:
"Xu Sui."
Xu Sui stopped, thinking that he had something important to do, walked up to him again, raised his eyes to look at him: "What's the matter?"
The scarlet on Zhou Jingze's fingertips was extinguished, and his tone was loose: "You haven't said good night to me yet."
"Huh? Then... good night."
"Good night."
The next day, after Xu Sui finished her class, she went to the cafeteria to eat with Hu Qianxi and Liang Shuang. After finishing the meal, the three of them sat at the same table. Halfway through the meal, Hu Qianxi felt something was wrong and said in confusion:
"Hey, it's a little strange that our cafeteria goddess didn't get called today."
Just as Hu Qianxi finished saying this, two men behind him with dinner plates were whispering, and the slightly fat man pushed the friend wearing glasses next to him:
"Don't look at it, if you look at it, she still has a boyfriend."
"Besides, you won Zhou Jingze."
Hu Qianxi lowered her head and whispered to the sisters: "Baby, what's the situation, when did you become so high-profile?"
"I don't know." Xu Sui stuffed a bean into his mouth.
She and Zhou Jingze have always kept a low profile when they are together, and Zhou Jingze is not the kind of person who likes to share, he is lazy, he seems to be careless about everything, and he doesn't care about anything.
Zhou Jingze had never posted her in Moments, so when did passers-by know they were together
"Hey, let me, who has been in Beihang's gossip forums all year round, search for answers for everyone." Liang Shuang excitedly took out his phone.
Liang Shuang was browsing the web page intently with her mobile phone, but suddenly there was no sound. After a while, she showed Hu Qianxi with her mobile phone.
Hu Qianxi glanced at her phone, bit a small piece of broccoli and dropped it. The atmosphere was surprisingly weird, Hu Qianxi looked at Xu Sui and said:
"Anything, Zhou Jingze is coming for real."
"What?" Xu Sui felt a little strange.
Hu Qianxi handed her the phone, Xu Sui took it, and slid down the screen with her thumb. The amount of information was so dense that she was a little confused.
On Beihang's post bar, there is a post about Zhou Jingze, which contains the confession posts and discussion posts of various girls to him. Just drag down and you will see:
Strawberry-flavored me: I ran into Zhou Jingze in the Feiyuan playground today. His handsome side profile killed me.
Want to travel around: Hey, I have been pretending to meet him outside the training base, but I haven't seen him once.
My husband Zhou Jingze: I met him playing ball in the playground in front of the Sizheng Building. He had a nice jacket. I wanted to wear the same style as him. I checked and found that it was a limited edition, but I still couldn’t buy it.
…
This post has been posted since Zhou Jingze's first day of school, and now a year and a half ago, more than 2,000 floors have been built.
Zhou Jingze never went to see it, and he didn't care about it. He always had the attitude of muddling along and squandering his life, by comparison. He cares more about what to eat the next day.
It was such a person who suddenly registered an account, and replied briefly but forcefully in that post of more than 2,000 floors:
[There is someone, Xu Sui.]
This reply stirred up a thousand layers of waves, and the girls in this school and the school next door who liked Zhou Jingze couldn't accept this reply.
It is really not his style to blatantly announce his preference to the world.
Someone replied at the bottom: [It's fake, unless you have a real name.]
Someone else said: [I just want to sleep with him, it seems that I can't do it now?]
Most of the people commented: [I don't quite believe it, he doesn't seem to have a fixed girlfriend, doesn't it mean that his girlfriend's shelf life won't exceed three months? Now one pops up out of thin air.]
Xu Sui kept scrolling down the post, and his index knuckles felt a little sore when he saw that one of the replies from these voices stopped:
A can of Seven Up: Although I don’t want to believe it, I have to tell my sisters that it’s true. Yesterday, I was having dinner with my roommate at a newly opened hot pot restaurant. I thought he was the only one, so I jumped up and asked for his WeChat account, but he spoke in a very serious tone with a strong voice: Sorry, no. The girl standing behind you at seven o'clock—
Xu Sui's heart skipped a beat when he saw the second half of the sentence, his heart was like being poured into overturned sparkling water, slightly sour, and then sweet in all directions:
"That's my wife and my wife."
