Tang You quickly changed her clothes in the dressing room. When she came out, her classmates backstage were still gathered together discussing the bouquet of beautiful roses.
I had only been away for a few minutes, but they seemed to have already determined who the owner of the flowers was, and they all gathered around Ye Yuan, the Youth League Secretary of the Orchestra Department, to flatter her.
Ye Yuan also studies cello. To be honest, her appearance is indeed outstanding in the department, and she is honored as the most beautiful girl in the department together with Tang You.
Tang You is used to keeping a low profile and doesn't like to stand out when encountering things. After coming to school for a year, no one knows that she is a rich girl. Ye Yuan is more outgoing and spoiled.
Haiyi has never lacked beauties. If Ye Yuan is the capable and sociable type, Tang You is the low-key and elegant type.
This time, Ye Yuan brought in the sponsorship, the amount exceeded that of previous years, and the sponsor was still the popular Zhou Enterprise. Now, Prince Zhou sent such a large bouquet of roses to the backstage.
Someone attentive said: "I just saw Zhou Zhan was looking at the cello area the whole time. Maybe he is interested in Yuanyuan? Otherwise, with his status, why would he need to come to the scene in person?"
"That must be the case. You may not know this, but when I accompanied Yuanyuan to discuss sponsorship, he talked to her a lot and was very enthusiastic."
Ye Yuan proudly admired the fiery rose, neither admitting nor denying it. She just smiled silently, accepting everyone's envy with a ambiguous attitude.
She really likes the feeling of being sought after.
Tang You heard their discussion when she passed by, but she didn't say anything, nor did she show her card to slap anyone in the face. She just glanced at the roses and left the gymnasium.
Zhou Zhan sent a message saying that his car was parked at the back door of the school. Tang You walked all the way there and saw his eye-catching Rolls-Royce at a glance.
After calming her breath, she walked over and was about to bend down to knock on the car window when Xiao Lu suddenly got out of the car, walked around to the back to open the door for her, and said politely:
"Ms. Tang, please get in the car. Mr. Zhou is waiting for you at Yunduo Restaurant."
"… "
Cloud Restaurant is a French restaurant famous for its romantic atmosphere.
This must be another trick of this overbearing president.
Tang You hesitated for two seconds—
Okay, as long as I can make things clear in person, I'll just satisfy him this time.
Tang You got in the car.
Xiao Lu drove the car very steadily, as if he had received special instructions. Tang You didn't notice any bumps along the way.
Even the brakes were feather-light, with no feel at all.
When they arrived at the restaurant, Xiao Lu came down to help Tang You open the door, looking very cautious:
"Miss Tang, are you feeling comfortable?"
His expression looked as if he would lose his job immediately if he said no.
Tang You frowned: "Is Zhou Zhan so harsh?"
Xiao Lu immediately shook his head: "No, no, no, no, our boss is a very good person, but I am afraid of neglecting you."
After watching the usually decisive boss carefully picking up a bunch of rabbits from the pink claw machine that day, Xiao Lu knew that the boss' heart was locked by a woman.
Later he gradually realized that this woman was the daughter of the Tang family in front of him.
She is also the future boss lady.
How dare he neglect it.
Thinking of this, he led Tang You to the elevator more attentively: "Miss Tang, the boss is waiting for you in the VIP-A box."
Tang You: “… Got it.”
The Yunduo Restaurant is on the top floor of this building, with an elegant and luxurious environment.
Tang You took the elevator upstairs and found that the restaurant, which was always crowded, was unusually deserted today.
Or it seemed as if the scene was deliberately cleared.
The waiter stood at the door politely, as if he had been waiting for Tang You. He politely bent over and opened the door:
"Miss Tang, please come in."
Tang You: “…”
The restaurant was very quiet, and the hall was filled with a light bergamot scent, which was fresh, pleasant, mellow and intoxicating.
Another waiter came over and guided Tang You to the door of box A.
I pushed the door open, but there was no one inside.
The waiter said, "Ms. Tang, Mr. Zhou has gone to the bathroom and will be back soon. Please sit down for a moment."
"Oh." Tang You nodded: "Okay."
The door was closed and she sat alone at one side of the dining table.
Looking around, it is indeed a restaurant famous for its French romance. From the decoration style to the cutlery, everything is minimalist, grand and elegant.
In this atmosphere, some pink girlish items are added to decorate the place, which looks carefully arranged at first glance.
The elegant French atmosphere thus adds a hint of sweetness.
It's like a place for couples in love.
Tang You withdrew his gaze, picked up the glass in front of him, and took a sip of soda water.
Just then, the door behind him was pushed open.
—Zhou Zhan is here.
When Tang You realized this thought, the water in his mouth was inexplicably stuck and he choked for a while.
She tried hard to suppress the urge to cough, straightened her back, sat down calmly, and waited for the man to sit opposite her so that they could have a good talk.
But after a few seconds, she didn't see such a scene.
What he waited for was a pair of slender arms that wrapped around him from behind and a warm warmth that approached him:
"Baby, you're finally here."
The man's suit sleeves were straight and stylish, with delicate jewel cufflinks on them, and it was obvious at first glance that he was a possessor of wealth and power.
Tang You was caught off guard when he embraced her, and the smell of tobacco and hormones rushed into her nose. She was stunned and in a trance for a moment.
Reason told her that she should refuse.
But the man's deep voice and smell made her feel a little confused for some reason.
It was as if I had suddenly traveled through time and space, back to more than a year ago, when Zhou Qinyao hugged me and said he would be back soon.
In just three seconds, Tang You struggled to wake up, and a voice loudly pulled her back to reality -
This person is Zhou Zhan! Not Zhou Qinyao!
She broke free from the hands in front of her, turned her head with a slight annoyance, and wanted to accuse the other party of being unreasonable and frivolous, but the next second, the face that came into her sight shocked her so much that she was speechless.
The pupils, as deep as ink, make people fall in love with them at first sight, just like in the past.
Tang You was sitting, so he tilted his head slightly when he turned around.
Zhou Qinyao was standing, holding the little girl in his arms in an intriguing leaning posture.
Their lips and teeth almost touched each other for a moment.
The atmosphere was stagnant for a few seconds.
Tang You was a little skeptical of what he saw. He blinked his eyes carefully again and again, but still couldn't believe what he saw.
She moved her lips: "You..."
Taking advantage of her relaxation, Zhou Qinyao kissed her directly.
This time it was not as impulsive as before, but rather lightly, caressing her lips like a feather, gently.
Tang You was a little dazed and confused after being kissed.
Her mind was still a little blank—the person she saw was indeed Zhou Qinyao.
But isn’t Zhou Qinyao going to study sports car-related technology? Isn’t the man in front of him called Zhou Zhan...
The girl's thoughts were a little confused. She pushed the man in front of her away and looked at him carefully and seriously.
He really looks similar to Zhou Qinyao, but the man in front of him is more aggressive and noble than him.
It is unfamiliar to oneself.
Tang You murmured, "Who are you..."
Zhou Qinyao was slightly stunned, as if he didn't expect that his girl didn't recognize him when they met again.
As if he had just heard a bad joke, Zhou Qinyao was a little frustrated: "You don't know me?"
"no."
Of course Tang You knew that he was Zhou Zhan.
She didn't know what to say, so... a strange idea suddenly popped into her mind.
After hesitating for a moment, he asked tentatively:
"Besides Zhou Yan, do you have any other cousins?"
Zhou Qinyao: “…?”
It took me a few seconds to understand what she meant. It turned out that after all this time, she still hadn't connected herself with the name Zhou Qinyao.
Yes, maybe I have changed too much.
Zhou Qinyao smiled helplessly, put his arm around the girl's shoulders and helped her stand up. The two of them looked at each other face to face.
He leaned down and whispered in her ear:
"Good boy, can't you hear my voice?"
In her twenty years of life, Zhou Qinyao was the only person Tang You had ever called her like that.
She reacted quickly, looking at him in shock, her lips trembling: "You—"
"Yes, it's me." Zhou Qinyao's voice was very low, rustling past her ears: "I'm back."
The moment he admitted it himself, countless images flooded into Tang You's mind.
That night, the sky was starry and the moon was bright. He said he wanted to leave and become the manager of a sports car shop.
Because of this goal, he has to undergo closed-door training for two years.
And at this time, the prince of the Zhou family came back, saved the bankrupt Zhou Group, created a new brand, and became the object of fantasy of the socialites in the city.
It turns out that he has always been around.
When he finally realized this, Tang You suddenly felt angry at being played with and pushed him away:
"Why did you lie to me?"
Zhou Qinyao called her name very calmly: "Youyou."
Tang You was not calm at all:
"You've always been here, why don't you contact me? Do you know that I'm waiting for you every day, thinking about you every day, and enduring that torment every day?"
Tang You suddenly became emotional and felt like a fool. He had waited for more than a year, comforting and encouraging himself every day, but that person never left and transformed himself into someone he couldn't recognize at first.
Tang You couldn't accept this fact.
Her eyes suddenly turned red and she stood up to leave.
But when I tried to turn the door of the box, I couldn't open it.
The door was locked from the beginning.
Because Tang You's current reaction was already within Zhou Qinyao's expectations.
He knew that Tang You would find it hard to accept, but he couldn't tell the truth. Over the past year, the relationship between Tang You and Fang Lai and her daughter had finally eased. If he suddenly knew that it was Fang Lai who secretly prevented them from meeting, he was afraid that the mother and daughter would have a rift again.
Zhou Qinyao believed that he could coax her.
The little girl just needs a little time.
Tang You was still stubbornly trying to turn the door. She turned around and looked at him: "Zhou Qinyao, what are you doing? Open the door!"
Zhou Qinyao walked over calmly and looked at her with his eyes lowered.
"What are you looking at!" Tang You shrank back towards the door uncomfortably because of his gaze, and her voice became weaker for some reason: "Are you going to lock me up too?"
Although she was really angry and didn't want to pay attention to him, she really couldn't resist his gaze.
It's been like this since the day we met.
When he looked at himself, his world fell apart.
"You know the situation in our family at that time." Zhou Qinyao explained softly: "If I tell you the truth, I am afraid it will affect your college entrance examination. Now that everything is settled, isn't it good for me to come back to see you?"
The Zhou family was indeed on the verge of bankruptcy at that time. If Zhou Qinyao had said at that time that he would go back to take on such a big business... Tang You would probably be so worried that he couldn't sleep every night.
The little girl was a sensible person, and her heart softened immediately, but she still didn't say anything.
"alright."
Zhou Qinyao suddenly produced a bunch of crabapple pink roses wrapped in soft nude paper, as if by magic. He handed it to her and said lovingly in his Su Yin voice:
"I apologize. It's all my fault. I won't lie to you or hide anything from you in the future."
Tang You's heart was soft to begin with, and her nose, which had been feeling sour, twitched when she saw the bunch of pink roses, and she swallowed back the sourness.
The three-point softness suddenly rose to seven points.
"What are you doing? Just now you got one bouquet, and now you have another one. Have you switched to selling flowers?"
"It was given by Zhou Zhan just now. I know you definitely didn't want it, right?" Zhou Qinyao bent down slightly and touched her forehead: "But now it's given by Zhou Qinyao, do you want it?"
To be honest, too warm colors are not suitable for Tang You.
She doesn't like too much fame as it doesn't suit her personality.
This kind of crabapple pink is cute and sweet, and it finally touches my heart.
But the little girl still looked away, saying, "No—"
Before the word "want" fell on her lips, Zhou Qinyao moved down and forcefully sealed her lips, not giving her a chance to speak.
Tang You was pressed against the door and accepted the kiss unexpectedly.
A real kiss that is more than a year late.
She refused at first and kept trying to push him away to stop Zhou Qinyao's intrusion. In the excitement, she even accidentally bit the man with her teeth.
But Zhou Qinyao didn't give in at all. Even though Tang You had already felt a hint of blood on the tip of her tongue, he still held her tightly and domineeringly, refusing to let go.
As Tang You struggled, his body gradually became weaker.
Powerless to fight against hypocrisy.
She had clearly been longing for a moment like this for too long.
Her hands no longer pushed him away, but slowly climbed up his back. The two of them entangled tightly together, kissing passionately and lingeringly.
The desire of a man who has been suppressing his desire for more than a year has no limit. He is approaching inch by inch with a strong desire to conquer and possess.
Tang You's breathing became increasingly disordered, and she gasped seductively in a low voice.
Zhou Qinyao felt her breath, let go of her slightly, and tried to restrain himself.
He whispered in her ear:
"You have no idea how much I miss you."
After a few seconds of silence, Tang You said in a low voice: "I know."
"Um?"
The little girl's cheeks were a little red: "When I reported, he secretly looked at me, followed me when I was watching a movie, and helped me catch the rabbit. When I was drunk, he sent me home and kissed me secretly. Zhou..."
Tang You didn't know how to call him for a moment.
I could only purse my lips and mutter, "When did you become a stalker pervert?"
Zhou Qinyao couldn't help but smile. His tall figure pressed down again, passed through her neck, and held her face: "Since you say I'm a pervert, then I'll have to try my best to be a pervert for once."
As he said this, he pretended to kiss her again.
Tang You covered her mouth with the back of her hand as she did in the past: "No."
Zhou Qinyao easily lifted her hand away: "Be good."
His dark eyes were tinged with lust, and he put his arms around her waist: "Can you let me kiss you for a while longer?"
"not good."
Tang You dodged, a smile spreading quietly at the corner of his lips: "I haven't forgiven you yet."
Having said that, she took the flowers from the man's hand and sat on the dining table to admire them carefully. But at the moment when she fiddled with the petals, she suddenly remembered a sentence that her classmates had discussed when she left the backstage just now -
When I accompanied Yuanyuan to solicit sponsorship, Prince Zhou talked to her a lot and was very enthusiastic.
I didn't think it was a big deal at the time, but now that I know Zhou Qinyao is the prince of the Zhou family, something is wrong.
She looked up at the man sitting next to her, her almond eyes slightly widened: "Do you like Ye Yuan very much?"
Zhou Qinyao: “?”
"Why are you so passionate about her?"
Zhou Qinyao: "Who is Ye Yuan?"
Tang You looked at Zhou Qinyao for a while, then put down the flowers: "Boss Zhou, are you pretending not to know me now?"
Zhou Qinyao was puzzled. "Should I know her?"
They looked at each other for a moment.
The man's reaction seemed like he really didn't know her.
Tang You said calmly, "It's okay."
The girls in the department are people who believe everything they hear. The art academy is not short of gossip. Sometimes, something is obviously just a drop of water, but if too many people spread it, it will eventually become a big deal.
Although they haven't seen each other for a year and Zhou Qinyao has become a diamond prince, Tang You still believes in him in her heart.
Blinked and said, "I'm hungry, is there anything to eat?"
Although he didn't know who the "Yuan" she was talking about was and why the topic ended, Zhou Qinyao finally felt relieved when he saw his beloved girl finally smile.
"Wait a moment, I'll ask them to serve the food."
Just as Zhou Qinyao stood up, there was a sudden and urgent knock on the door.
"Brother, are you there?!"
It was Zhou Yan's voice.
Zhou Qinyao frowned slightly, wondering how he found his way here.
But since he was already at the door, it was impossible to pretend not to hear. He had to open the door anyway, so Zhou Qinyao walked over.
As soon as the door opened, Zhou Yan leaned against the wall and gasped: "Finally found you...Brother, why can't I get through to you on the phone?"
Zhou Qinyao put everything aside today, just wanting to spend this night of reunion with Tang You quietly, not wanting to be disturbed by anyone.
He was a little unhappy: "What's the matter?"
Zhou Yan nodded wildly, "Yes! Urgent!"
Zhou Qinyao: "Speak."
"Sumu has acute appendicitis and needs to be hospitalized for surgery, but she is afraid and says she will not go into the operating room until she sees you."
After saying that, Zhou Yan walked into the box and said, "Do you have any water? I want to drink a sip."
Zhou Yan was indeed very thirsty. Over there, Xia Sumu was sweating coldly from the pain. The whole world was looking for Zhou Qinyao, and they almost turned Haicheng upside down to find him.
He walked in hurriedly to get a glass of water, and then, he was caught off guard by Tang You, who was sitting inside and looking at him with a harmless look on his face.
Zhou Yan: “…”
After a few seconds, Tang You smiled and greeted, "Hello, Director Zhou."
Zhou Yan froze for a moment, then immediately reacted—
Holy shit, my cousin is finally “out of jail”?! So he’s meeting with friends and family now?!
It's such a beautiful day, his appearance really ruins the atmosphere.
No wonder Zhou Qinyao looked at him as if he wanted to kill him just now.
Zhou Yan began to regret that he had barged into their secret garden without even taking a look.
But he soon realized that he had gotten into a more serious trouble—
My cousin's wife leaned slightly and looked at Zhou Qinyao who was standing by the door, and said softly:
"Who is Sumu?"
Zhou Qinyao: “…”
Let me explain.
The author has something to say: Mr. Zhou: … I want to chop off Zhou Yan’s head online, and I don’t know if you have any objections.
