Su Xian did not mention a word about her meeting with Zhou Ling. In the following few days, Zhou Ling's words were like a wake-up call, knocking on her head all the time. A person who was full of hope for life and motivation for the future became as decadent as a dead leaf in autumn, involuntarily swaying with the wind and falling to the ground, silent like a person who had lost his soul.
Perhaps Zhou Ling really liked her, so he agreed to his son's request. No matter what Zhou Ling said to her, it could not change the fact that she was the benefactor of their family.
Su Xian couldn't pretend he didn't hear his benefactor's words.
She truly realized the huge gap between her and Zuo Yueyao when Zuo Yueyao appeared on a TV show.
He was wearing a dark blue suit and sitting in the studio with his back straight. Although he was about to turn twenty-one, he looked like a wise man who had been through the test of time. He was graceful and eloquent, and his every word and action revealed his nobility and generosity. His every move made him look like a young man who was not in touch with the world.
Even the host looked at her with love and appreciation.
At this glance, Su Xian suddenly understood why Zhou Ling said those words to her. If she had a child like Zuo Yueyao in the future, she might make the same decision as Zhou Ling.
Su Xian took the initiative to go to the basketball court to find Zuo Yueyao.
Zuo Yueyao was playing ball with a few friends. There were a few people sitting around them, including He Xinwan.
He Xinwan was the first to see her. He waved at her and gave her a friendly smile. To show politeness, Su Xian curled the corners of his mouth.
This was the first time she took the initiative to come to him in these days. In order not to disturb him, Su Xian temporarily sat down next to He Xinwan.
He Xinwan is a natural clothes hanger. No matter what the occasion, her clothes are always so beautiful and eye-catching. Su Xian looked at her several times, watching her sweet smile towards the people on the field.
Her eyes were always following only one person.
Su Xian thought it was ridiculous. If a person's attachment and love were only for that one person from beginning to end, how could he give up so easily? He Xinwan liked Zuo Yueyao, and this might be something that had never changed. From the beginning to now, even though he and Zuo Yueyao were already recognized as boyfriend and girlfriend, He Xinwan still did not stop admiring Zuo Yueyao.
It would be fine if she just admired it, but such affectionate look and such infatuated aura made her believe that the goddess had let it go long ago, unless she was a fool.
Time always teaches people one thing, that is, to observe people's words and expressions.
For the first time, she learned to see the essence through appearances. This is probably what is called growth.
"Yueyao hasn't been so relaxed for a long time. Look how happy he is smiling."
Yes, he smiled really happily. Such a person should not have any worries, right? Because of his excellence, countless people are willing to be around him. He is the light that illuminates many people, and he is also the hope that inspires many people. Su Xian has reminded himself countless times to work hard.
But some things cannot be balanced just by hard work.
During the break, Zuo Yueyao walked towards Su Xian, took off his formal suit and changed into a white sports suit. His hair was wet with sweat and fell on his smooth forehead. His physique without a trace of fat became a hot commodity in the eyes of fans under the watchful eyes of everyone.
In the past, Su Xian would show off in her heart without hesitation, humph, this is my boyfriend!
But now, she no longer has the confidence.
However, she still took out a napkin and took the initiative to wipe the sweat off his face. She knew that the eyes around her were full of envy and jealousy, but she didn't care. She only cared that at this moment, this man belonged to her.
"Look at how loving you two are, it's really enviable. Then I won't be a light bulb." He Xinwan put her hands behind her back and blinked: "By the way, Yueyao, don't forget that you have a meeting in the afternoon. Don't be late."
"Um."
Zuo Yueyao kept his eyes on Su Xian's face as he watched the beautiful lady leave. "Have you figured it out?"
When Su Xian heard this, she knew why Zuo Yueyao had not forced her to meet him in the past few days. It seemed that he was being rational and giving her time to fully digest the situation.
But what Zuo Yueyao didn't know was that Su Xian didn't even think about Yao Jing's matter, her whole mind was focused on other things.
Su Xian wanted to hug him, but Zuo Yueyao stopped him with his hand: "You are sweaty, wait here for a while, I will take a shower and take you to eat delicious food."
Su Xian raised his head: "Then kiss me."
This was really in front of everyone, with someone sitting just a palm away. Ren Shang couldn't stand it anymore, and leaned over with contempt: "Sister, I've never seen you so proactive before, did you take aphrodisiac today?"
Zuo Yueyao covered Ren Shang's eyes, and Su Xian successfully got a kiss. She licked her lips with satisfaction: "Are you free this weekend?"
Before he could answer, Su Xian said, "When I start to be busy with my internship, I won't have time to accompany you. Think carefully before you answer."
All the love he showed me couldn't outweigh his gentle smile: "After the meeting this afternoon, I'll tell them that I'm going to spend this weekend with my girlfriend."
Su Xian showed a satisfied smile: "Okay, go take a shower and go to the meeting, I won't disturb you, I'll wait for your call."
"Okay." He stroked Su Xian's dark circles with his thumb: "Go back and get some sleep. You're almost turning into a panda."
"Pandas are so cute." Su Xian muttered.
"Not as cute as you."
Su Xian ran away. This guy was so embarrassing when he talked about love.
Zuo Yueyao kept his word and sent a message to Su Xian right after the meeting.
"Our male idol is flirting with his girlfriend again." Someone joked.
"Our male god is a rare species. He is handsome, rich, good at studying, and loyal."
"That's right. It was hard to find even with a lantern, but our sister-in-law found it easily."
"My dear, do you want to invite your sister-in-law out to have a get-together in the evening?"
"I promise, I will never talk nonsense again!" It doesn't take much to guess who the person who made this solemn promise is.
Liao Xingyan, the idiot who had offended Zuo Yueyao at the last party and was collectively condemned, thought he would be beaten up by Zuo Yueyao when he returned and had prepared himself to be injured. However, not only did he not get beaten up, he also acted calmly and seemed to have let go of the incident.
Why do I say seemingly? Because since that day, Zuo Yueyao looked at him as if he were a passerby, neither angry nor smiling, but just too lazy to pay attention to him. Liao Xingyan felt that it would be better to just beat him up.
So, after spending several days in fear, she found some willow branches from somewhere, tied them around her back, and ran to Zuo Yueyao's dormitory to apologize. Ren Shang even recorded the video on the spot, saying that it would be a permanent evidence of her guilt so that she would reflect on it every day.
Between self-reflection and Zuo Yueyao, he certainly chose the former. Who made him keep his mouth shut and say things he shouldn't? At the same time, he also deeply realized that Zuo Yueyao's attitude towards this relationship was not a spur-of-the-moment decision, but a long-term plan. The girl named Su Xian meant more to him than anyone else.
As Zuo Yueyao's brother, Ren Shang has the most say on the issue of being better than anyone else.
Because he had witnessed with his own eyes that someone who had always been steady would often lie on the bed on certain nights, smiling brightly at his phone.
As Ren Shang wandered among the flowers, for the first time he envied others for finding true love.
"No, we need some privacy."
"Hey, you're showing us off. OK, OK, let's all go. Be careful not to eat too much dog food."
After everyone left, He Xinwan walked to Zuo Yueyao's side, and she really hoped that his smile at this moment was because of her, and not because of any other woman.
The reality gave her an unexpected blow and shattered all her plans for the future. This man, from the time they met until now, had never belonged to her.
"Yueyao, have you really thought it through? Don't you want to study abroad?"
He Xinwan's family has arranged the best life path for her. Studying abroad has been her plan since she entered Nanjing University. The moment she met Zuo Yueyao, there was one more person in her plan.
"Yeah." Zuo Yueyao responded indifferently. Too many people have asked the same question, and his answer has never changed.
Even though she was disappointed, the smile on her face was still sweet: "Do you really not want to go abroad, or are you reluctant to leave someone?"
She wanted to see what he was really thinking.
Zuo Yueyao put the information into his bag and said the most honest answer in his heart: "I don't want to, but I can't bear to give it up."
He had never been interested in going abroad. Even if he became interested later, this interest was ultimately not as great as the two words "Su Xian".
"I'm leaving first. My girlfriend is waiting for me." He put on his bag and said, "If you have any questions about the report, you can call me."
Zuo Yueyao left in a hurry because the time for his appointment with Su Xian was approaching. This girl was never late and would always come early for every date. Sometimes, because he was busy, she would often be a little late. He was already trying hard to correct this.
Fortunately, she is a sensible and generous girl.
"What do you want to eat?" The moment I saw her, all the hard work disappeared.
"Hmm," Su Xian said as if he was thinking carefully, "Steak, I want to eat steak."
"Aren't you saying that kind of food, with a lot of knives and forks, is troublesome to eat and doesn't taste good, and is not as delicious as Chinese food?"
"You remember every word." Su Xian chuckled, "It's been a while."
Zuo Yueyao took them to eat steak for the first time and taught her how to hold a knife and fork, but he did not develop her interest in eating steak. Compared to those, she preferred to sit at a roadside stall and nibble on a few bites of sweet roasted sweet potatoes.
"Why do you suddenly want to eat today?"
"I just want to eat." Su Xian rarely acted like a spoiled child: "Just accompany me."
"Okay." Zuo Yueyao held her hand and said, "After we finish eating steak, I'll take you to the movies."
"Then I want two buckets of popcorn."
"Sure, as long as you can eat it." Zuo Yueyao chuckled, "Every grain of rice is hard-earned."
"It's still a bucket."
"Silly girl."
"You are stupid."
It was a movie about disasters, and Su Xian was quite interested in it. She knew that Zuo Yueyao and she had similar interests in some aspects. For example, when it came to choosing the subject of the movie, they didn't need to discuss it at all, and the decision made by one person was the idea of both of them.
But who would have thought that Zuo Yueyao fell asleep in the second half of the movie.
Apart from feeling heartbroken, she had no other thoughts. She looked at the man leaning against the chair with his eyes closed, and silently reached out to pull his coat closer.
When he sleeps, he is always very quiet.
After the movie ended, Su Xian gently woke up the sleeping person.
Zuo Yueyao was very sorry about this, but Su Xian didn't care. He leaned on his shoulder and whispered something.
"Tonight, let's not go back to the dormitory, okay?"
Zuo Yueyao looked at her in surprise.
