After Zhou Qinyao decided to move, he decisively moved back to the villa on the lake the next day.
Actually, he lived alone before and didn't have much luggage, so he could move back by car. But Tang You was still worried, so he came back from school after class the next afternoon to help him move.
Zhou Qinyao said, "Aren't you very busy these past two days? You have to prepare for the school anniversary celebration."
Tang You helped him fold the clothes and smiled inexplicably: "I've already been busy."
Zhou Qinyao didn't understand the girl's hidden meaning, and just thought that the rehearsal task was not that heavy. He packed Tang You's clothes from the closet into the box. Tang You stopped him:
"What are you doing?"
"You won't come back to live with me?"
Tang You pursed her lips and said slowly: "… I don't have no home, why would I go to your house?"
She can live in Zhou Qinyao’s single apartment, but Zhou Qinyao’s home has a certain sense of ritual for her.
That is a place you can only go to if it is locked in your household registration book.
It was Zhou Qinyao who pulled her hand over and said, "Isn't my home your home?"
His words were not at all deliberate, as if he was talking about something very ordinary and natural. Tang You listened sweetly, but still smiled and turned his back, humming softly:
"Who is your family? I didn't agree."
"Um?"
Zhou Qinyao stretched out his arms and hooked her into his arms, lowering his voice:
"Did I not work hard enough last night and the boss is not satisfied?"
Tang You's face suddenly turned red: "Shut up."
Last night we were outdoors, under the vast starry sky, surrounded by quiet lake water and natural breeze.
That feeling is bold and unbridled, yet full of temptation.
Zhou Qinyao always brings Tang You different surprises and excitement. Since the year she met him, her world has been injected with countless possibilities.
She likes this kind of casual life, and she likes the man who brought her out of the cage even more.
Because the single apartment needed to be used occasionally, Zhou Qinyao left some clothes for replacement and did not empty it out.
Zhou Rui was very happy when he returned to the villa on the lake. He pushed Zhou Qinyao's luggage straight to his room with his little chubby hands.
Zhou Qinyao didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Brother has his own room."
Zhou Rui blinked his eyes and said, "I want to sleep with my brother."
Zhou Qinyao pulled Tang You beside him and said, "But sister also wants to sleep with brother."
"..." Tang You stretched out his hand and twisted him awkwardly, "What are you talking about?"
Zhou Rui scratched his head and suddenly said:
"Then the three of us can sleep together."
Zhou Qinyao hit him on the head and said, "You wishful thinking, little bastard."
Tang You: “…”
After moving the luggage to Zhou Qinyao's room on the third floor of the villa, he opened the door and found the room clean, bright and spotless. All the furnishings inside were well preserved, just as they were before he left, without any changes.
The aunt at home said that since Zhou Qinyao left that year, this floor has been blocked by Zhou Zelin. She comes up to clean up once a week, and even Wu Meng is forbidden to set foot here.
Zhou Qinyao looked at the room he hadn't returned to for a long time, feeling filled with emotion.
The room is very large, and on the walls are some illustrations that Zhou Qinyao used to learn about diamonds as a child.
He has been gifted since childhood and has a keen knowledge in this area. He likes to cover his walls with pictures of various legendary classic diamonds from all over the world.
Tang You looked at them curiously: "So beautiful."
Zhou Qinyao hugged her from behind and asked softly, "Which one do you like?"
Tang You glanced at the wall and pointed at a pink one: "This one, blingbling, super girly."
The one that Tang You was referring to is a rare pink-colored diamond discovered in South Africa more than ten years ago. The color is dreamy and beautiful, and it is indeed very girly.
Zhou Qinyao curled his lips silently and said, "Okay."
Tang You turned her head in his arms, looked up and asked, "What's good?"
Following this angle, Zhou Qinyao pecked her lips lightly and said nonchalantly, "Nothing."
Tang You didn't think much about it. She turned her head and saw the spacious balcony behind her. She immediately ran over and opened the glass door.
"Wow, the view here is so great."
This balcony is very large. Standing here you can overlook the lake and enjoy the natural breeze. When the weather is good, you can see the dazzling stars by looking up.
Tang You breathed in some fresh air and said to himself with some regret: "It's just too empty. There's nothing here. If I decorate it, I can lie here and look at the stars."
Zhou Qinyao hugged her gently, with a smile on his face, and said the word "good" again.
Tang You turned his head and asked, "What are you always saying?"
"Nothing." Zhou Qinyao looked into the distance and smiled without saying anything. "Whatever you say is good."
"Tsk." Tang You said coquettishly: "You are getting better and better at coaxing people with your mouth."
The two people hugged each other quietly on the balcony, enjoying the tranquility and beauty of the moment that belonged to each other.
As the year came to an end, Zhou Qinyao's company was getting busier and busier. The company's development had been moving in a good direction, with sales rising month by month. This year's sales alone had already exceeded the previous record of Moon.
It only took Zhou Qinyao two years to bring a company on the verge of bankruptcy to its current state.
Meanwhile, Tang You's school has also entered its anniversary month. As the main cellist of the two programs, Tang You has more exposure than others, so naturally he has received more attention.
The rumors surrounding her have never stopped, as if there is a hand behind her. Whenever the heat subsides a little, the topic will be quietly pushed up again. In short, in the past few months, when Tang You walks in school, there are always all kinds of pointing eyes behind her.
But Tang Youxing acted as if nothing had happened and took it calmly.
One week before the school anniversary, Tang You found the department head and took the initiative to ask to withdraw from the performance of this show.
Her decision was firm and sudden, shocking and unexpected. Although substitute actors were prepared during the rehearsal, the teachers had always been optimistic about Tang You. Now she suddenly asked to withdraw. Although the department head did not say it explicitly, he guessed in his heart what the reason was.
There is never a shortage of gossip in art schools.
He advised Tang You: "If you want to survive in this circle, you don't have to care too much about what others say. Your major is one thing, and your private life, the teachers will not be too involved, but based on my understanding of you-"
The teacher paused and said calmly and forcefully: "I don't believe these rumors."
Tang You bowed to the dean gratefully, "Thank you for your understanding. I feel that my condition has not been very good recently. I don't want to perform poorly on such an important day as the school anniversary and let you down."
The director thought for a moment and did not force him. He only told Tang You to have a good rest and adjust himself to prepare for the final exam.
Tang You took the initiative to withdraw, and Ye Yuan naturally became the successor of the two programs.
Such a rare opportunity is no less than a blessing from heaven for Ye Yuan. The most important thing is that one of them is the highly anticipated finale.
No one knew why Tang You suddenly stopped participating in the performance, but when the classmates were wondering whether these changes were caused by the bad influence of those posts, Ye Yuan said sarcastically:
"To learn art, one must first learn morality. If morality is corrupted, how can artistic ethics be good? Teachers are not blind."
With her leading the charge, the students in the department all thought that it was the teacher who cancelled Tang You's performance qualification.
Ye Yuan took her place and instantly became the focus of everyone's envy. She was like a proud peacock, raising three fingers above her head and waving them around, posing as a winner.
Tang You still seemed to be fine and attended classes every day. The surrounding public opinion seemed to have no effect on her at all.
Some people said that she was pretending to be calm, while others said that she was naturally indifferent to fame and fortune.
Soon, the grand school anniversary that everyone had been looking forward to finally arrived.
On this day, teachers and students from all departments gathered together, and many entertainment celebrities who graduated from Shanghai Arts Institute also returned to their alma mater to celebrate together.
The orchestral department of the Haiyi University has been famous for many years, so this time, even the leader of a national diplomatic-level symphony orchestra came to the scene to pick out some good talents in advance.
Ye Yuan's first program was a violin and cello multi-ensemble performance leading the Orchestra Department.
She was particularly glorious today, and even her celebrity cousin Ye Yongxin came to the scene in person to support her.
Sitting in the front row, one can closely see Ye Yuan on the big screen behind her, wearing delicate makeup and a noble dress, accompanied by soft melodies. Any outsider who is not aware of the situation would think that this is a person with potential.
She has good looks, professional skills, and her stage performance ability is also remarkable.
After her performance, several teachers and leaders in the audience nodded and talked to each other, looking very satisfied.
Tang You sat in the audience. She exchanged glances with Cheng Xuan, then put a candy in her mouth with her lips slightly curled up.
On the stage, Ye Yuan was delivering a speech on behalf of the Orchestra Department to celebrate the school anniversary. Her voice was bright, positive and enthusiastic. Just after she finished her last sentence, the big screen behind her suddenly switched to a strange video.
A noisy and somewhat arrogant voice came from the speakers on both sides and penetrated the entire auditorium.
"I just want to ruin her reputation!"
"Help me find some people to post something on the school forum, saying that she has bad character and bad conduct. In short, do whatever you can to slander her..."
This video suddenly jumped into everyone's eyes and everyone was stunned. When someone reacted and interrupted the playback, the screen remained on Ye Yuan biting an apple and laughing.
She was wearing a hospital gown and looked like a mentally ill person.
After the auditorium was eerily quiet for a few seconds, sounds began to be heard from the audience.
The students all started to whisper. Ye Yuan froze on the stage, her face turning red and white. The dean of the department shouted angrily with a dark face:
"Why don't you get off? Why are you standing there embarrassing yourself?!"
This woke Ye Yuan up, and she hurriedly left the stage with her piano.
The scenery from a few minutes ago suddenly became just a panicked and embarrassed back.
Fortunately, the host came to ease the atmosphere, saying that the audio-visual system accidentally played a short clip from a movie shot by the director.
Other shows followed, and this matter was superficially passed over.
But outsiders can be fooled, but students of Haiyi are not so easy to fool.
This was obviously a secretly filmed video, and the person Ye Yuan mentioned was Tang You.
For a while, the performance was still going on on the stage, while the audience was flooding the forum with messages criticizing Ye Yuan, using everyone as a gun.
By the way, posts apologizing to Tang You also popped up one after another.
When a wall falls, everyone pushes it; when a wall rises, everyone supports it.
I said Tang You didn't seem like that kind of person. She's a lady from a wealthy family, how could she do such a thing
Tang You is such a pitiful woman. She has been criticized for such a long time without saying a word. She is really too Buddhist.
I feel sorry for Tang You. Even the performance was stopped. She must be so wronged.
Tang You doesn't care at all. He has won an international award at the age of sixteen. Ye Yuan is not worthy of using such tricks.
Cheng Xuan looked at the discussion thread by thread and secretly said to Tang You, "Yes, your move of retreating to advance is really ruthless. Ye Bitch's face turned pale just now, and now the forum is all on your side."
Tang You's lips curled up slightly as he ate a marshmallow, his face still showing a calm expression.
After a while, a teacher came over from the side, crouched down, and said something to the students in the outer row. Then a classmate passed the message to Tang You:
"Tang You, the teacher wants to see you about something urgent."
Tang You calmly replied, "Oh."
The moment she stood up, she looked at Cheng Xuan calmly, with a look of achievement and fame in her eyes.
After leaving the audience, Tang You was taken away by the teacher. After going backstage, the result was exactly as he expected.
Ye Yuan was disqualified from the finale show, and the department head came to ask her if she could participate.
Of course Tang You had no problem. After rehearsing for so long, all the melodies were already memorized and knew them by heart.
She had given the previous performance to Ye Yuan, and Tang You had never intended to give the finale to anyone else.
While she was changing clothes and putting on makeup, the dean of the department was beside her to comfort her: "I didn't expect Ye Yuan to be so thoughtful. This time she has completely lost the face of the department. Tang You, you are a good child. You must help the department to fight for its reputation."
Tang You smiled faintly, "Teacher, don't worry, I will."
The programs were completed one after another, and finally it was time for the finale orchestra performance.
This is a magnificent piece of music, and to some extent it also represents the highest level of the entire Haiyi. Tang You is wearing an elegant and noble black dress, with her long hair piled high and only light makeup on her face, yet she is dazzling.
She has a certain powerful charm. Even if she is sitting there very gently and quietly, she has an aura that can conquer everything.
The performance was a huge success as expected. The song was performed perfectly and brought the school anniversary to a successful conclusion.
At the end, the conductor of the Diplomatic Symphony Orchestra in the audience was the first to stand up and applaud.
Dean Haiyi, whose face had not yet recovered, finally smiled a little. He stood up and chatted and laughed with the people around him while clapping.
By this time, in the eyes of all the students in the audience, Tang You had become a broad-minded, talented, and awesome person who could save the entire orchestra department.
Such a person deserves the title of department belle.
After the performance, Tang You was changing clothes backstage. Some classmates surrounded her and chattered, all trying to get closer to her.
Tang You asked, "Has anyone seen Ye Yuan?"
A certain girl immediately rolled her eyes in disgust: "She just said she was going to the bathroom, and she hasn't come back yet. She must be hiding in there crying. She deserves it."
"That's right. She seems to be so noble and treats us like sisters, but I didn't expect that she has been using us as a weapon."
Tang You listened in silence. After changing her clothes, she quietly went to the toilet in the auditorium.
The performance was over and everyone gradually left the auditorium. It was very quiet in the bathroom and almost no one showed up.
Tang You pushed open the door of the women's restroom and faintly heard low sobbing sounds.
Ye Yuan is here indeed.
Tang You paused, and did not knock on the door. Instead, he turned on the faucet, washed his hands, and said to the person inside:
"In fact, you don't have to think of me as an imaginary enemy. In terms of professional skills, you are not much worse than me. As for other things, what belongs to you is yours, and what doesn't belong to you, do you think you can get it by discrediting me?"
Ye Yuan heard Tang You's voice, slammed the door open, and rushed to her with tears and snot: "You are the one who messed with me, right?"
Tang You looked at her in such a miserable state calmly, and did not feel very happy at all.
She is not a person who is willing to get into disputes with others. If Ye Yuan had not done something too ruthless, she would not have wanted to pick her up and beat her.
Ye Yuan continued to be unforgiving: "You have an innocent face but a vicious heart. You can't be so complacent forever. I'll wait and see when Zhou Zhan sees your true colors!"
Tang You: “…”
She didn't know why Ye Yuan was so obsessed with her and Zhou Qinyao, so she couldn't help but smiled and said, "Why, do you like Zhou Zhan very much?"
Ye Yuan refused to admit her vanity, and said angrily, "I just don't like you playing both sides!"
Tang You thought about it, wiped her hands with tissue paper, and said softly, "To be honest, I like Brother Yao more. Brother Yao has 70% in my heart, and Zhou Zhan... 30%. "
"… "
Ye Yuan was stunned and shocked at her audacity to play with the Diamond Prince so arrogantly:
"You are such a scumbag... so shameless..."
Tang You blinked her eyelashes and smiled harmlessly, "Thank you."
Ye Yuan: “…”
At 9:30 in the evening, Zhou Qinyao finally finished his overtime work. He originally wanted to go back to the villa on the lake, but there were some documents in the apartment that he forgot to move out last time, so he made a detour to take them away.
Return home, enter the password and open the door.
Zhou Qinyao was visibly stunned when he saw that the lights were on in the house and the TV was on.
When I looked up, my eyes met with Tang You who was sitting on the sofa.
He was stunned: "Why are you here?"
Tang You: “…”
Tang You came quietly without telling anyone.
What happened at the school anniversary celebration caused a huge sensation among the students. On the way from the auditorium to the dormitory at night, Tang You was watched by many people.
She simply didn't go back to the dormitory and went to Zhou Qinyao's bachelor villa alone. Knowing that the man was working overtime, she didn't notify him.
The little girl had just finished taking a bath and was sitting on the sofa with her legs crossed, eating fruit and watching TV. She thought Zhou Qinyao would not come over, so she let herself go and closed all the curtains. She had just finished taking a bath and was wearing nothing but a bath towel.
Now Zhou Qinyao suddenly appeared. She sat on the sofa in a daze for a few seconds, with wet drops of water still spreading down her hair from time to time.
Tang You didn't know how to explain, and after a long pause, he said: "I..."
Seeing that she was hesitant to speak, Zhou Qinyao said directly: "Did something happen to you at school?"
"Yeah." Tang You thought about it and nodded.
Zhou Qinyao's heart tightened, and he immediately changed his shoes and sat next to her: "It's that Ye Yuan again?!"
"Um."
"What did she do to you?"
Tang You saw Zhou Qinyao's nervous look and couldn't help but burst out laughing: "She didn't do anything to me, I did something to her."
"?" Zhou Qinyao didn't understand what he heard.
Tang You told him the whole story in detail, and Zhou Qinyao stared at her for a long time after listening.
He couldn't believe that his simple and kind girl could be so sinister.
Touching Tang You's hair: "Who taught you?"
Tang You blinked: "You."
"I?"
"You were the one who said that no one is allowed to bully me, so I listen to you. If anyone bullies me, I will fight back."
Tang You's eyes were clear, and her voice was a little bit proud and naughty: "So don't worry, no one can bully your dear."
"Yeah." Zhou Qinyao touched her head and smiled gently, then suddenly seemed to remember something, narrowed his eyes and crossed his chest, "You said that when you tease Ye Yuan, you love Brother Yao 70% and Zhou Zhan 30%."
After a pause, he moved closer and raised her chin in dissatisfaction: "Tell me, why did Zhou Zhan score so low?"
Tang You immediately dodged from the sofa and sat on the dining chair in the restaurant, keeping a little distance from Zhou Qinyao before boldly saying:
"Because Zhou Qinyao is gentle."
Zhou Qinyao raised his eyebrows: "Why, Zhou Zhan is not gentle anymore?"
Tang You murmured softly, as if protesting: "Don't you know whether Wen is gentle or not..."
Zhou Qinyao smiled.
He walked over slowly, untying his tie as he walked and wrapping it carelessly in his hands.
Walking behind Tang You, he bent down and whispered in his ear:
"You mean, you want me to be... a little gentler?"
There was something else in the man's words. Tang You felt a heat in her ears, and her body softened as if some kind of chain reaction had started.
The little girl was about to hide back on the sofa, but Zhou Qinyao suddenly took advantage of her unpreparedness, pulled her hands behind the chair, and quickly fastened them together and tied a knot with the tie he had prepared long ago.
Tang You was still eating fruit. He struggled for a while, but found that he couldn't move his hands. He was stunned for a moment: "What are you doing?"
Zhou Qinyao walked around to the girl, squatted down, lifted the hem of the bath towel, and his Adam's apple rolled slightly:
"Gentleness for you to see."
Tang You: “…”
…
Half an hour later, the little girl's face was flushed, sweat oozed from her forehead, and her body kept curling up and begging for mercy:
"No, I was wrong, okay."
"Yeah?"
Zhou Qinyao pulled his hand away, stood up and kissed her lips gently, his voice low and hoarse:
"So, do you like Brother Yao or Brother Zhan now?"
Tang You crossed her legs shamefully to stop something, but vaguely, she didn't want to stop.
She panted lightly, and when she saw the man looking at her with an intriguing smile, her face turned red:
"Are you a pervert? Why are you jealous of yourself?"
Zhou Qinyao calmly walked around to the back, untied his tie, picked up Tang You, and sat on the chair himself.
Tang You turned 180 degrees in the air and finally sat on him, her hands subconsciously around his neck.
Their eyes met, the man's gaze was burning:
"The gentle Zhou Qinyao wants to hold the baby to sleep, and the ungentle Zhou Zhan wants to do something bad."
There was a teasing smile in his voice: "Who do you want to accompany you?"
Tang You's face turned red again and again. She was so angry that she couldn't say anything that would slap herself in the face.
Zhou Qinyao looked at the blushing girl and curled his lips slightly, "I'll help you make the choice, okay?"
He pulled her closer to him, their lips and teeth almost touching, and lowered his head to bite off the knot on the side of the bath towel.
With a rustle, the white bath towel fell to the ground.
Tang You's body was suddenly uncovered and she felt a wave of coldness. She shrank back, but soon the surface of her skin was covered by another kind of heat that went straight to her nerve endings.
Zhou Qinyao said:
"I'm sorry, I'm being honest, loving you is something that I can't control."
The author has something to say: Regarding the 8th one, those who have read my Weibo should know that the chair play was something that God asked me to write in my dream.
Hahahahahahahahaha.
