No wonder that kiss was so real that I could still feel the throbbing and heartbeat it brought even after waking up.
It turned out... it was Zhou Zhan who kissed me!
Tang You suddenly felt an indescribable shame surging through his body.
How could she let this happen to her...
How will she face Zhou Qinyao in the future
He no longer had the heart to wash his face. He closed the door and leaned against it, feeling confused. Tang You had been angry for a long time, angry at himself, and even more angry at Zhou Zhan for taking advantage of him.
She took out her cell phone in anger and dialed Zhou Zhan's number.
After the call was connected, it rang twice and then hung up.
Very good, I have done something wrong and now I don’t even dare to answer the phone.
Tang You was angry and sent him a string of angry and venomous words:
You kissed me when I was drunk, thinking I would know nothing when I woke up? You villain, you hypocrite, don't let me see you again!
I typed it all in one breath and clicked send without any hesitation.
After doing all this, Tang You was stunned.
She would never have been so decisive in the past. At that time, she thought Zhou Qinyao had touched her buttocks, so she dared not say a word. She only dared to secretly write a big-character poster and follow him.
Times have changed, and time can really change a person.
But Tang You still felt that it was Zhou Qinyao's appearance that changed her, and it was he who taught her to be firm and brave.
Thinking of this, the little girl felt a strong sense of guilt.
Perhaps because last night was Valentine's Day, after listening to Cheng Xuan talking about many sad things in the bar, I couldn't help but think of Zhou Qinyao. I drank a few more glasses out of sadness and actually mistook a stranger man for the person I had missed for too long.
Whatever you think about during the day, you will dream about at night. Unfortunately, it was a disgusting person who acted as her dream.
The beautiful dream turned into a nightmare, and Tang You was very depressed.
She leaned against the door for a long time, then she washed up listlessly, got dressed and walked out.
Fang Lai was having breakfast downstairs. When he saw her coming down, he asked casually:
"I heard that Zhou Zhan sent you back last night?"
Tang You felt disgusted when he heard the name: "Mom, can you please stop mentioning him?"
Fang Lai was stunned, put down his knife and fork, and laughed inexplicably: "What's wrong?"
Fang Lai got up early in the morning and listened to the servants at home telling him what happened last night. He thought that two young people couldn't control their emotions and met each other, but now listening to Tang You's tone, it seemed that it was not what he thought.
Tang You collapsed and covered her face: "Stop talking, I don't want to mention this person anymore, he is a stalker and a pervert."
Fang Lai: “…”
I couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Tang You looked over with dissatisfaction: "Mom, what are you laughing at?"
Fang Lai ate his breakfast leisurely: "I laughed at you... I won't say that after seeing him in person."
Tang You knew that Zhou Zhan was the noble young master and diamond genius in his mother's eyes, so it was normal to see him through a filter.
But she doesn't like it and doesn't want it.
He curled his lips in disdain: "No, I'm going back to school."
Before leaving, Fang Lai suddenly remembered something and stopped her and asked, "By the way, when does your department's concert start?"
The Orchestra Department of the Haiyi Institute of Art holds a concert every academic year, inviting well-known symphony orchestras from home and abroad and students to perform together. This is considered a practice and also an auditory feast benefit for the whole school.
Tang You said, "I heard from the student union that they are still looking for sponsorship and it might be held in May. So, do you want to come?"
Tang You was selected for the first time to be one of the five cellists in this performance. As a freshman, this was a great honor and professional recognition.
Fang Lai looked at his schedule and said, "Unfortunately, I may have to go to Hong Kong to discuss something in May."
Tang You: “…”
Turn around and close the door.
After breakfast, Fang Lai went to the Zhou Group building to listen to the monthly report. The new brand was developing strongly and all data were increasing year-on-year. After the meeting, Fang Lai and Zhou Qinyao had a rare meeting.
Both of them were busy before, and they talked about many things over the phone. Now that they are together, they can't help but talk about Tang You.
Fang Lai teased him: "You didn't expose yourself when you sent Youyou home last night. You are more rational than I thought."
Zhou Qinyao: “…”
Actually, I'm not fucking rational at all.
Zhou Qinyao couldn't laugh at all now.
Just now, he was speaking at a meeting analyzing a piece of data when his cell phone rang. He subconsciously hung up, but later realized that it was Tang You calling.
Immediately afterwards, I received a barrage of text messages from the little girl.
Zhou Qinyao, who was in a meeting, saw those words and his expression was full of helplessness.
How could this girl still remember what happened last night even though she was drunk
Being considered a pervert, Zhou Qinyao felt angry and wanted to laugh.
I want to taste her lips again.
"Based on the trend from today's meeting, the company will be profitable in less than two or three months." Fang Lai said calmly, "You really didn't disappoint me."
Zhou Qinyao came back to his senses and smiled modestly: "I have to thank my aunt for her help."
"I'll cheer you on, but you have to be able to run."
Fang Lai then calmly took out a plan from her bag that her secretary had found for her. "Don't say that I'm an unkind aunt. The school is looking for sponsors for a concert. Although such a small school event is not worth your presence, I think you can use it."
Zhou Qinyao took it and after seeing the date below, he immediately understood what Fang Lai meant.
This finally got approval to release him from prison.
Zhou Qinyao smiled softly and said, "Thank you, auntie."
Fang Lai left slowly: "It's up to you from now on."
With such hope, time passed faster and faster. The day of meeting Tang You was getting closer, and Zhou Qinyao's work was getting busier and busier.
But no matter how busy I am, May 7th is still marked on my schedule early.
That day, Zhou Qinyao had only one task to complete—see her
Time passed like the wind. Clearly early spring had just passed, but Haicheng was getting hot quickly and we could already smell the scent of summer in May.
The Orchestra Department of the Haiyi University has been busy with concerts recently. This time, the publicity department of the department has secured a large sponsorship, and the event is more grand than any previous one, attracting students from other schools to ask if they have tickets so they can come in and take a peek.
Tang You, one of the cellists, only found out the day before the performance that the sponsor of this event was Zhou's You Jewelry.
At the request of advertisers, all the ground advertisements outside the performance venue were posted with brand posters.
This time, the slogan on the poster has been changed to -
You are the most precious
"I went to take a look, it was so corny." Cheng Xuan came back and said to Tang You, "It felt like Zhou Zhan was confessing his love to you from a distance."
Tang You also felt uncomfortable when he heard the news.
But she is just a performer, and the student union is in charge of the sponsorship matters, so she has no say in the matter.
After a pause, Cheng Xuan asked thoughtfully:
"Actually, Brother Yao has been gone for so long. Have you ever thought about whether it was your mother who gave him some money to let him leave quietly, so..."
"Impossible." Tang You answered almost decisively: "He is not that kind of person."
"But your mother..."
"Yes, my mother might do what you said, but she wouldn't accept it."
After saying that, Tang Youyou looked at her cello and murmured softly, "He also said that he would give me a cello inlaid with diamonds."
Cheng Xuan: “…”
I don’t know whether Tang You is deceiving herself or she doesn’t believe that there are such good men and love.
The atmosphere fell into silence. Cheng Xuan felt a little lonely and lost in thought.
Tang You then noticed her expression and asked her: "By the way, you and Jiang Ding..."
Cheng Xuan's expression froze, and he managed to force out a smile: "It's okay, we're done."
Tang You: “???”
Tang You had always wanted to ask before, but Cheng Xuan always avoided the question. She never took the initiative to mention the things between her and Cheng Xuan, and Tang You didn't know when it started or when it ended.
Tang You felt a little guilty about the result. After all, it was he who introduced them to each other in the first place.
"Hyun, are you okay? If you are unhappy, you must tell me."
"Okay." Cheng Xuan shook his long hair. "You know, I took another advertisement. This time I'm working with that popular guy Jin Yang. I don't know if I can develop a new relationship. I won't rely on one tree for everything."
"… "
Tang You could see that Cheng Xuan was deliberately pretending to be indifferent when he said these words.
She and Cheng Xuan are actually two different types of people. One is gentle on the outside but strong on the inside, and the other looks like a big-tailed wolf but is actually very fragile inside and not strong at all.
The only similarity is that both girls value feelings.
Tang You went to hold Cheng Xuan's hand: "No matter what happens, I will always be by your side."
"Me too." Cheng Xuan also held her back: "I believe Brother Yao will be back soon."
"Um."
Early summer finally arrived as promised, and the day of the concert soon arrived.
The concert was held in the largest gymnasium center of Haiyi, which had hosted concerts by national first-class performers in the past. It was ranked among the best in Haicheng in terms of both scale and impression level.
This time the school invited the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra to hold a concert in cooperation with the Haiyi Orchestra Department. In addition to reserving seats for sponsors, the president, director and other teachers of Haiyi, half of all tickets were available for self-service collection through the school's official account, and the other half were sold to the public.
Because someone had spread the word in advance that the Zhou family's young master, who had never appeared in public, would appear, the tickets for the concert were sold out as soon as they were released.
Zhou Zhan's methods over the past year have been extraordinary. Not only did he bring back a company that was on the brink of bankruptcy, he also successfully created a new brand. Such a man is destined to be a legendary figure.
Therefore, everyone wanted to see the true face of this prince, to see if he was really as cold, noble and arrogant as described in the article.
At seven o'clock in the evening, half an hour before the show started, the audience filled the entire stadium.
Tang You was putting on makeup backstage when she heard her classmates whispering:
"Is Zhou Zhan here?"
"I don't know. I just checked and the first row of guest seats is not full. They probably haven't arrived yet."
"I'm so excited. I really want to see if he's really that handsome."
“… Me too, me too!”
A group of girls gathered together and had a heated discussion. Someone came over and asked Tang You who was not participating:
"Tang You, aren't you curious?"
Tang You said softly: "Not curious."
She has fought with that pervert several times, and not only is she not curious about him, she also hates him.
As expected, the more mysterious a personality is, the more girls like him. The classmates around her are like they are possessed by a ghost. It is obviously a professional exchange concert, but it has turned into a carnival feast for watching the prince of the Zhou family.
Everyone was making various guesses, only Tang You was as quiet as a chicken.
Just then, someone ran over from the front desk, saying happily as he ran: "Here he comes! Zhou Zhan is here! Oh my god! I'm going crazy! So handsome!"
With a loud noise, the girls backstage collectively stood up from their dressing tables and rushed to the small corner where they could see the backstage. They peeked at the man who came in from outside and sat down in the front row with a proud look on his face.
Then, the crowd exclaimed in unison: "Fuck... so handsome..."
At this time, Tang You seemed like an out-of-place existence, watching coldly a group of classmates going crazy for Zhou Zhan.
In fact, she had never really seen what Zhou Zhan looked like, but even if he was so handsome that it was intolerable, it could not change the paranoid and perverted behaviors he had done to her.
It couldn't change his unwavering love for Zhou Qinyao.
The teacher came in and urged them to make final preparations. Tang You was about to get up when he suddenly received a text message from Zhou Zhan.
A very simple sentence -
The performance went well.
Tang You then realized that she hadn't blocked him after what happened last time. But after thinking about it carefully, if what Cheng Xuan said was true, Zhou Zhan came to such a small concert just for fun because of her...
Could it be that Zhou Zhan had some misunderstanding about her unconscious behavior after she was drunk last time
Tang You thought about it carefully for a while and realized that he couldn't continue to be so confused.
She must have a serious talk with Zhou Zhan and make things clear face to face.
She didn't like him, there was no chance for them.
The teacher then notified all the actors to go on stage. Tang You calmed down and sent him a message:
Don't leave when it's over. I have something to tell you.
After sending it, he quickly put away his phone and followed the crowd onto the stage.
This concert was a collaboration between the Haiyi Orchestra and the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra, with a total of eight classic pieces.
Tang You's seat is in the front row on the right, next to the violin and recorder.
When she sat down, she subconsciously looked down at the audience.
But the lights in the venue had been turned off, and the faces of the people sitting below were dim and blurry. She couldn't see clearly, and she didn't want to lose her composure on the stage, so she tried desperately to find someone she had never met and had no interest in.
Forget it, let’s wait until the performance is over.
With this thought in mind, Tang You calmed down on the stage and focused all his attention on the performance.
Her hair had grown very long and was draped softly and quietly behind her. Her body occasionally leaned forward as she drew the bow. Her neck was long and perfect, and the uniform black dress made her fair skin look even brighter.
Tonight, she is more mature, gentle and beautiful than before.
Zhou Qinyao in the audience was intently watching Tang You on the stage, his eyes following her. Her every move, every ups and downs, filled the man's entire field of vision.
There is no other person in his eyes.
The other girls simply don't understand this fact.
They try their best to show themselves, hoping to attract the attention of the high-quality prince in the audience and thus have a rich romance.
The music was melodious and dreamy. After the one-hour performance, the conductor led the audience to bow and the lights in the audience were all turned on.
Sweep away the previous darkness and silence.
Tang Youyi also bowed slightly to express her gratitude, but the moment she stood up, her eyes suddenly met a figure sitting in the first row of the audience.
Her smile froze on her lips.
It turned out to be the face I had been thinking about day and night...
The man was also looking at her, and when their eyes met, he smiled faintly and clapped calmly like everyone else.
The familiar handsomeness was mixed with an unfamiliar coldness and nobility.
This picture seems to be filtered through a hazy filter and does not look real at all.
Tang You was stunned.
Forget to laugh, forget to react, forget all the actions in the moment.
It was not until her classmates reminded her that she reacted and hurriedly followed suit to express her gratitude in another direction.
After thanking everyone, I hurriedly turned back to look at the place I was just at, wanting to confirm again, but I only saw a picture of people leaving.
The man was tall and dressed in a neat and elegant black suit. He left surrounded by a crowd of people.
Even his back has a strong aura.
Tang You rubbed his eyes seriously again.
I was thinking to myself - I must be dazzled, what am I seeing, am I crazy...
She followed her classmates off the stage in a daze.
As soon as I stepped into the backstage, a classmate screamed in surprise—"Fuck, whose flowers are these?!"
Tang You thought about it and inexplicably felt that this matter was related to Zhou Zhan.
Normally, she didn't like to gather in crowds to watch these gossips, but this time she quickly pushed through the crowd and stepped forward to take a look.
On the dressing table, there is a huge bouquet of roses.
Wrapped in noble black satin paper, the warm roses are paired with plain baby's breath.
Use the simplest colors to create the sexiest feel.
Everyone nearby came over:
"Who sent these flowers?! I cried, they are so beautiful."
"Could it be Zhou Zhan?"
"I refuse! If it's true, I'm going to die... So who is it? Do you have a card?"
Tang You kept silent. She sat next to Hua in a low-key manner. When she heard her classmates say this, she immediately glanced at Hua and found that there was indeed a card in the wrapping paper.
Faintly, I can see the words "to you" written on the cover.
Tang You: “…”
She didn't want to become the hot topic of discussion at school tomorrow.
While no one around noticed him, he quickly and secretly took the card into his hand, then pretended to change clothes and hid in the locker room.
As the door closed, the little girl's heart began to pound.
Slowly opening the card, a line of beautiful and neat words appeared -
You look beautiful tonight.
The signature was indeed Zhou Zhan.
Tang You's heartbeat suddenly became a little unstable.
I leaned over to look at the mirror in the dressing room and found that my face was actually blushing.
Perhaps because Zhou Qinyao had said the same thing to her, the little girl seemed to be aroused by something invisible and her mind was a little confused.
She shook her head and carefully thought about what happened a few minutes ago.
Yes, she seemed to have seen Zhou Qinyao just now, but from a distance, with just a quick glance, she was not so sure.
The aura of the man in the audience was so strong, completely different from the casual, unrestrained and undemanding man she knew in the past.
And everyone said that the person sitting in the audience was Zhou Zhan, the city's diamond prince.
Tang You turned around and leaned against the wall, closed his eyes, and tried to calm himself down.
It must be because I have been rehearsing too hard recently and haven't had enough rest that I am hallucinating, and coupled with my daily thoughts, I see everyone as Zhou Qinyao.
She let out a breath, and her cell phone rang.
It was Zhou Zhan who came back: I haven’t left, I’m waiting for you.
Tang You lowered her eyes and thought of the bouquet of hot roses outside.
Well, you have to face this person and explain things to him clearly.
She pressed her finger on the screen—
Okay, here I come.
The author has something to say: Actually, Gua Ge begged me to leave him another piece of clothing, but I sternly refused!
Brother, you have been carrying Pinru's wardrobe for so long, it's time to strip you naked! !
