“Then what’s the difference between you and him?”

Zhong Yu looked at her for an instant, those narrow eyes in the night color were as clear and bright as a stardust, and too many emotions flashed through in a short moment. He gently pulled the corner of his mouth, “Jane Mo, I just want to continue what I didn’t accomplish in the beginning.” How did she turn away after startling the ripples in his heart?

“You were the one who provoked me first.” He said with a straight face.

Jane Mo was dumbfounded, the mouth of her throat seemed to have been filled with chili water, spicy and difficult to speak.

“I’ll make a bet with you, just to see how Zhou Zhi treats you, whether it’s sincere or not.” He said seemingly casually.

Jian Mo snorted, “So what?”

Zhong Yu pursed the corners of his lips, “If he can stick with you, from now on we are just passersby.” After a slight pause, he turned his words, his eyes more than a few points of firmness and non-negotiable, “On the contrary, I think with your temperament naturally won’t continue with him, and my bet is that you will be my girlfriend.”

“Zhong Yu, you haven’t been drinking how come what you said is even nonsense. Even if I split with Zhou Zhi, why should I be your girlfriend. What are you smoking at night.” Jane Mo split her head and face to be him scolded, she is already not a few years of her.

Zhong Yu’s expression was slightly stunned, a slight frown between his brows.

Jane Mo wanted to scold him to wake him up, or to make him more deeply aware of his current self.

“Jian Mo?” A puzzled voice rang out from the front. Jane Mo’s body stiffened. The familiar footsteps arrived as expected.

Tao Ping quickly walked in, “I look like you-” her gaze couldn’t help but turn around Zhong Yu a few times, sizing him up and down, and she already had several versions of the story in her heart.

The corners of Jian Mo’s eyes twitched as she rushed at Zhong Yu and said, “Young Zhong, it’s very late.” That meaning couldn’t be clearer. You hurry up and leave.

Zhong Yu what kind of person, how could he easily give up what he determined.

“Auntie, hello. I’m sorry, I didn’t expect it to be so late when I was talking with Jian Mo, it’s my negligence.”

Tao Ping raised her eyebrows when she heard him say this, “Mo Mo ah, this is-” Tao Ping stared closely at Jian Mo, her meaning couldn’t be clearer.

“Auntie, this is my old classmate, just asked for directions.”

Tao Ping’s eyes narrowed slightly, this bear child started bluffing her again.

“Old classmate ah, that’s quite good, you can meet even in this dark and windy moon.”

The corner of Zhong Yu’s mouth grinned, “Auntie-” he addressed. The corner of Tao Ping’s mouth trembled, this child was too direct. Jian Mo’s heart trembled, this person was too twitchy.

Zhong Yu pulled one hand over Jane Mo’s

arm, “Jian Mo is joking with you, just now I accidentally made her angry.”

Jane Mo stared at him sideways, “You–” Zhong Yu blinked at her.

Tao Ping was stunned there, sighing in her heart, although she had watched a lot of modern idol dramas, in the end she was still stunned when a situation like this happened in front of her.

She dryly swallowed her throat, “This girl is sometimes too careful, hey, your name?”

“Zhong Yu, Zhong Ling Yuxiu’s Zhong, Hitachi Yu.”

The corner of Tao Ping’s mouth curved, “Zhong Hanliang’s Zhong ah, good name. There are a lot of mosquitoes here want to go sit at home?”

“Auntie-” Jane Mo was dissatisfied.

Tao Ping swept her off her feet, signaling her to be quiet.

“Auntie, I’ll pay a visit next time, I’ll go home first tonight.” He spoke courteously. Tao Ping had already taken him as her future nephew and son-in-law.

Zhong Yu let go of her hand, “Rest well and don’t think too much.”

Jian Mo just acted as if she didn’t hear anything.

After Zhong Yu left, Tao Ping glanced at Jian Mo, “You come with me.”

There were still three tables in the chess room, and from time to time came the soft sound of mahjong clashing. Jane Mo was physically and mentally exhausted.

Tao Ping drank a large glass of water, “If I don’t see you, how long are you going to hide?”

Jane Mo’s head was big, a burst of annoyance, “Auntie, it’s not what you see, he-” she clenched her teeth, “he’s not– ”

Tao Ping how could she listen to this, seeing her daughter who was watching TV on the sidelines, “Jane Dan, go and call your father here, I have something to say to him. Go–”

Jane Dan is only in junior high school, just finished the final exams, every day watching TV, sitting there without moving, “Dad, my mom called you.” She didn’t even move her eyes.

Tao Ping angry, “snap” turned off the TV, “every day to see, tomorrow will be a four-eyed chicken.”

“Mom, you’ll go through early menopause if you keep this up.” Jandan threw a sentence and immediately ran away.

“Bear child, I’m still not exasperated by you three.” After saying that, she glared at Jian Mo. In a few seconds, Jane Mo’s uncle, Jane Ding, ran over with a yawn, “What’s the matter? I still have to start work in the morning.”

Tao Ping immediately despaired, she waved her hand, “You all go and get busy.”

Jane Mo scratched her hair, she suddenly thought of Mrs. Bennet. Her aunt and uncle were sometimes just too worried, but then living a full life.

Jane Mo tossed and turned all night with nightmares, little by little the silhouette of high school played in her mind. Every day in front of the school, she will meet him, his car wind-like from the

His car passed by her in the wind, lifting her bangs. She knew his name was Zhong Yu. That backstory had been engraved in his mind, that backstory was perhaps the only view of her pale life, until many years later, when they reunited and she told him about it.

The camera later slowly switched to a classroom, sparsely seated thirty or so people, he came the latest. She rushes over and hands over a pink envelope. He just looked at her blandly, “What is it, classmate?”

At that moment, her mind didn’t know what to think, she grabbed his hand and shoved the letter into his palm, but didn’t say anything. She vaguely remembers his hand with a faint residual warmth, fresh and warm.

That test was in English, and she turned in her paper when she was done. When she left the classroom, she subconsciously looked at him, he sat there quietly, his expression was focused, as if he was checking. The winter sunlight poured into the classroom, his body enveloped a layer of light halo, cozy warm people.

She was drowsy and still dreaming, the electric fan whirring, the room was stifling, the cell phone on the bedside vibrated relentlessly, she subconsciously answered the phone.

Zhou Zhi today at home with Zhou mother, this moment to have the time to give Jane Mo called, a listen to the voice to know that she has not yet woken up, “last night how did not pick up my phone?”

Jian Mo rubbed her eyes, her voice was hoarse, “I slept early last night.”

Zhou Zhi smiled, “Did you miss me?”

Jane Mo froze and didn’t reply, over there, Zhou Zhi stood up and saw his mother coming back from outside with an extra girl by her side, his eyes darkened.

“Well, hurry up and go eat breakfast. I’m hanging up.”

“Zhou Zhi-” she suddenly shouted, across the phone, “Do you have time this afternoon, I have something to talk to you.” Her family, her past ……

Zhou Zhi hesitated slightly, “There’s a meeting at the company in the afternoon. I’ll pick you up tomorrow, okay?”

Jane Mo was slightly silent for a split second, “It’s fine, work is important.”

Zhou Zhi hung up the phone, vaguely aware of her difference, he held the phone, just about to dial over. A knock came from outside the door.

“Zhou Zhi?” It was his mother’s voice, “There’s a guest coming to the house, so hurry and come downstairs.”

Zhou Zhi’s fingers moved slightly, getting up and placing his cell phone on the desktop, going downstairs.

“Who’s coming?” Pulling open the door he asked.

His mother was obviously in a good mood, “It’s Qian Yu, hurry downstairs.”

Zhou Zhi naturally understands his mother’s mind, it’s rare for her to come back, so she is happy with her. Qian Yu has just returned from studying abroad and has just joined the Education Bureau, Zhou mother gently looks at her, “If I have such a daughter I don’t know how much heart I have to save?”

“Mom, then simply recognize a god-sister for me.” Zhou Zhi in the accompanying sitting and eating a morning, the mood has been no longer in the morning.

Mother Zhou slanted a glance at him and pulled up a smile when she turned her head to look at Qian Yu, “If you have anything to find Zhou Zhi in the future, you don’t have to be polite. If he doesn’t help you, just tell me, I’ll clean him up. After sitting with me all afternoon, I’ll let Zhou Zhi take you out for a walk.”

“I should go back in a while. No need to trouble Brother Zhou.”

“No trouble, he’s fine today. Zhou Zhi, you take Xiao Yu out for a walk.”

Zhou Zhi was happy, he was looking forward to it now. A moment later the two of them walked out, Qian Yu was very eye-catching, she knew that Zhou Zhi had gotten impatient long ago, “Big Brother Zhou, I’m really sorry for wasting your time for the whole morning.”

“Where, my mom is happy.” He said this clearly, it was just to make his mother happy, he didn’t have anything else in mind.

How could Qian Yu not understand, she looked at Zhou Zhi with a light smile, her handsome and dusty eyebrows, and her falling and light talk, it did make her a little heartbroken.

“Auntie just wanted to eat cake, you bring one back, it’s also a delivery.”

Zhou Zhi’s eye brows gradually sent down, “I’ll thank you for my mom.”

Qian Yu smiled faintly without saying anything.

Zhou Zhi drove to that bakery, Qian Yu went in and brought up an exquisite cake box in a short while, handing it over to Zhou Zhi, she curved the corner of her mouth, “Zhou Zhi, bye.”

Zhou Zhi looked at her slowly disappearing figure, dumbfounded, started the car and left.

Zhong Yu sat in the café across the street, he gently sipped a mouthful of coffee, mellow and fragrant, the corner of his mouth slightly raised. Everything is predestined, fate just played a joke with them, this is not they still met.
