Tang You was tired of hearing Fang Lai say this, she lowered her head and said nothing.
But in my heart, I stubbornly feel that Zhou Qinyao is better than anyone here.
But thinking about how long he and that woman had been in the room on Sunday night, Tang You suddenly lost his confidence. He sighed and was about to go outside to get some fresh air when someone called his name from behind:
"Youmei, long time no see."
The voice was light and casual with a hint of provocation. Tang You knew what was going on and turned around.
It was indeed Jiang Ding.
He arrived late, standing behind me with a glass of champagne in his hand, his suit half open and a few buttons of his shirt undone.
He looked so casual, as if he had just gotten out of bed and came here to have a meal.
He doesn't have the aura of a best actor at all.
Tang You was used to him being like this, and muttered, "It hasn't been a long time."
The Jiang and Tang families are old friends, and Tang You and Jiang Ding are childhood sweethearts and have a very close relationship.
Jiang Ding has become a movie emperor at a young age and has a bright future in the entertainment industry. Fang Lai originally wanted to match him with her daughter, but later, when Jiang Ding was involved in scandals every other day, she gave up the idea.
This man has a pair of peach blossom eyes that are naturally popular with women, and he always smells of various perfumes.
She is beautiful, but like a monster, making people feel very insecure.
Seeing that some reporters were looking over here, Tang You deliberately distanced himself: "Jiang Ding, stay away from me."
Jiang Ding glanced sideways and suddenly laughed cheerfully: "What's the matter, sister? I haven't seen you for a few days. Why are you so resistant to your brother Ding?"
He leaned over and lowered his voice to tease, "Are you having a man?"
Tang You's ears suddenly turned red for no reason, she turned her back and ignored him, and asked Fang Lai: "Mom, do we have to leave?"
It was almost nine o'clock, and Tang You had to take the last flight of the night back to City C. After being away for two days, she had to go back to continue her classes.
Fang Lai glanced at his watch and nodded: "You guys go ahead."
Tang You was stunned: "We?"
"Mom can't leave for the time being. Your brother Jiang Ding is going to City C today, so I'll ask him to come pick you up and keep you company."
"Don't worry, Aunt Fang." Jiang Ding put down his wine glass slowly and smiled softly at Tang You: "Youmei, will you go with your brother?"
Tang You: “…”
After seeing Tang You’s back at the AS entrance on Friday night, Zhou Qinyao hadn’t seen the little girl for two days.
I tried calling twice later, but the phone was turned off both times.
When asked about Cheng Hyun, he also said that he didn't see her at school.
In short, Zhou Qinyao tried every way to contact Tang You, but none of them worked.
As the employees in the store, no one dared to mess with Zhou Qinyao these two days.
His face was inexplicably gloomy and he seemed to be in a very bad mood. His colleagues saw him taking out his mobile phone every once in a while. They didn't know what he was waiting for, but when he couldn't get anything, he would lock the screen in annoyance.
In short, it's like a firecracker with the fuse lit, ready to explode at any moment.
Everybody stayed away.
After get off work in the evening, everyone left, except Zhou Qinyao, who had no intention of going home. He stayed in the store, saying that he wanted to work overtime to finish a modification plan for a customer.
Wei Kai usually went back to the alley with him. After observing him for two days, he also felt that something was wrong with him, so he asked cautiously, "Brother Yao, are you okay?"
The customer didn't need the car urgently, so there was no need to work overtime.
Zhou Qinyao had no expression on his face and said coldly: "No."
He was so absorbed in his work that Wei Kai couldn't get to the bottom of it, so he quietly went to the side and called Cheng Xuan. After the two of them talked, they still couldn't come to a conclusion.
Wei Kai was worried, so he didn't go back and stayed in the store playing games with him.
The two of them stayed like this until half past eleven in the evening. Wei Kai felt sleepy and yawned continuously. Zhou Qinyao knew that he didn't go back because he was worried about him, so there was no point in wasting his friend's energy.
So after smoking the last cigarette, he kicked the sleepy man:
"Leave."
Zhou Qinyao didn't ride his bike. The two of them walked back to Huaishu Hutong in silence.
Wei Kai looked at him secretly: "Brother Yao, you seem to be worried."
It was late at night, and the streets were very quiet. Zhou Qinyao replied calmly, "No."
But only he himself knows.
If not, why has he been constantly looking for things to do these two days
Whenever I have free time, I will think of Tang You’s face and the back she left for me that night.
Zhou Qinyao himself couldn't help but admit it—
He really cares about that girl.
This feeling that had sprouted up at some unknown time was contradictory and humble. He had thought that it might have been just a momentary impulse, and that he could control it, but when such days of no response lasted for two days.
Just two days.
He simply couldn't stand it.
When they reached the entrance of the alley, Zhou Qinyao stopped and did not go in, letting Wei Kai go home first.
Wei Kai asked: "Where are you going so late?"
He replied: "Just walk around."
…
Crossing the alley is Huaishu Street.
Zhou Qinyao came to check on her every night for the past two days, but perhaps because his timing was unlucky or Tang You was already asleep, he didn't hear the usual piano music.
Only the first floor of the villa was still lit. Zhou Qinyao slowly approached and tried to find an angle in front of the iron gate from which he could see the inside of the house clearly.
But unfortunately, the door was closed and nothing could be seen inside.
Zhou Qinyao once impulsively wanted to ring the doorbell, but he had heard Cheng Xuan talk about Tang You's family situation more than once, and knew that she had a strong mother. Even if her mother was not around, she still had a 24-hour surveillance spy, Rong Mama.
So if I pressed the doorbell, it might only cause more trouble to Tang You.
Not to mention, she doesn't answer the phone or reply to text messages, so it's still a question whether she wants to see me.
The shadows of the trees swayed and small insects flew in groups under the street lights.
Zhou Qinyao stood for a while out of habit.
Well, I didn’t wait for her today.
He had no choice but to go home, but the moment he turned around, he saw car lights coming from the end of the road. Then he looked again and a familiar white minivan came into view.
The man was startled, then quickly retreated and hid in the dark.
The nanny car gradually approached and stopped at the door of the villa.
The car door opened and a man and a woman got out.
Tang You was still wearing the white dress she had worn to the dinner, and Jiang Ding followed her out of the car.
"I have a sister." He loved to joke: "How about I stay at your place for a night?"
“I don’t have any room in my house.”
This excuse was so lame that Jiang Ding didn't bother to expose it. He narrowed his eyes and smiled: "Then tomorrow I will go to your school to promote the movie. Will you put up a banner and give me a bouquet of flowers or something?"
Tang You: "I'm not a fan of celebrities."
"You're not even willing to help your brother Ding?"
“No time.”
"Hey little girl, what's wrong with you?"
…
Jiang Ding is an extrovert who likes to joke. His teasing laughter can be heard from time to time on the quiet street.
But the man behind the wall felt like punching someone.
After entertaining Tang You enough, Jiang Ding returned to the car and Uncle Yang took him to the hotel where the crew was staying.
"Go back quickly, see you tomorrow."
Tang You stood at the door and waved to him symbolically. Then he took a deep breath of air after the car drove away.
After being restrained for two days, I can finally relax.
She didn't go in immediately, but looked straight at the alley across the street that had already become pitch dark.
It was half past eleven and everyone in the alley had already gone to bed.
The little girl blinked her eyelashes gently, and her girlish thoughts were written all over her face.
I haven't seen her for two days, and I don't know if Zhou Qinyao has looked for her...
It was late at night and the dew was heavy. A gust of wind blew by, and Tang You felt cold. He could not help but gather his arms to hug himself, and turned around to go into the house.
But before Tang You could press the doorbell, a shadow suddenly flashed out from the darkness, and before he could see clearly, he was grabbed by a pair of hands.
She was terrified, thinking she had met a bad guy, and subconsciously wanted to shout out, but when she felt the warmth of his arm, the sound stopped in her throat.
She was familiar with that temperature.
In just two seconds, she was quickly pulled to the dark corner of the villa. There was only a faint light shining here, but Tang You could see it very clearly.
She opened her eyes wide and looked at the man in front of her in disbelief:
"you-"
"Where have you been?" Zhou Qinyao's voice became heavy first.
"… "
In fact, Tang You’s mind was blank for several minutes.
The person she was thinking about suddenly appeared in front of her. She couldn't tell whether it was real or an illusion. It wasn't until the man's strong and hot breath lingered in her breath that she realized -
It's true.
The man's eyes were dark, and he was forbearing and restrained: "Why don't you reply to the text message."
Tang You was a little at a loss: "Let go first-"
“Why do you want to turn off the phone?”
Zhou Qinyao raised his voice a little. He held Tang You's wrist in his hand with force, and had no intention of letting go.
Being questioned repeatedly, Tang You looked at Zhou Qinyao in confusion.
She had never seen him like this before. He was completely different from his usual calm self, and he grabbed her without any sense of propriety or rationality.
In that instant, Tang You suddenly realized that it was almost midnight.
So why was he at his doorstep
Is he waiting for me...
A thought suddenly flashed through his mind, and Tang You slowly sensed a possibility, but he was not quite sure in his heart.
So she moved her lips hesitantly and deliberately changed what she was about to say into:
"I... went out to play."
Sure enough, Zhou Qinyao's eyes darkened: "With that man just now?"
Tang You suppressed her pounding heart and tried to pull her arm out of his grasp, but the man only increased his strength and held her arm even tighter.
"Zhou Qinyao." She frowned and called his name in full for the first time: "Let me go first."
Then he asked, "Can't I play with other men?"
Hearing this, Zhou Qinyao's body stiffened briefly. He looked at the woman under the light, relaxed, and released his hand that was clasping her.
Yes, what ridiculous possessiveness is he expressing here
They are nothing.
All the suppressed emotions of the past two days burst out uncontrollably after seeing her appear with a man.
Zhou Qinyao found himself jealous.
Crazy jealousy.
After a long silence, he suppressed his irritation, calmed down a little, and stepped back: "I'm sorry."
In the unclear light and shadow, I couldn't help but feel distressed when I saw the thin skirt on the girl.
He took off his coat and put it on her. He paused at his collar for a while, then let his hand drop in silence. After a while, he asked sourly:
"Are you having fun?"
Feeling the warmth of the man's coat, Tang You's guess became more certain. She pursed her lips, looked up at Zhou Qinyao, and smiled like a bright flower: "I'm happy."
Zhou Qinyao: “…”
I was irritable for two days, but it turned out that it was just my wishful thinking.
There was a storm in his heart, but he nodded, forcing himself to look calm: "Yeah, as long as I'm happy."
After a pause, he said with mixed feelings: "It's getting late, let's go in."
Tang You didn't move.
There seemed to be a faint starlight in her eyes, and she looked at him clearly: "What about you?"
Zhou Qinyao was stunned: "What?"
The girl slowly stepped forward, pointed her index finger at her left chest, and said in a gentle voice that melted into the night:
"Are you happy here now?"
Under the silvery moonlight, the light in the girl's eyes matched the night, filled with starlight, more moving than any countless diamonds he had ever seen.
The floating wind conveys subtle hints and reminders.
Zhou Qinyao was stunned for only two seconds before he realized her cunning intention.
It was as if he was suddenly pulled from the abyss to a bright place. His emotions fluctuated too quickly and the blood in his brain rushed rapidly. He could not control himself for a moment, so he clasped his hand on his chest and pressed her hard against the wall.
The man's hot breath fell on her ears, his voice low and hoarse:
"Then tell me."
"I'm not happy now, what should I do?"
