Chapter 78
The meeting place is in a private restaurant, Zhou Yuchen booked, the old man will often come here when friends.
The decoration is very ancient style, pavilions and pavilions, carved corridors and painted columns, every place is permeated with a sense of elegance, walking in the long corridors, the faint fragrance of wood mixed with the fragrance of the flowers came to the face.
Here can not only dining can also be deliberated, the layout of the room is also extremely elegant, inexplicably let a person’s mood become peaceful and serene.
Today they came to the largest private room, named: Good Spouse Heavenly Success.
The old master was very fond of the name of the private room, and when he entered the door, he urged the butler to give more tips when settling the bill.
The butler knew what the old master had in mind and nodded, “I just already tipped.”
The old master gave the butler an appreciative look, worthy of being by his side for many years, he knew what he was thinking.
The butler helped the old master to sit down and looked down at his pocket watch, “Master, it’s early.”
This was still the old master’s hard pressed time, otherwise he would have come even earlier. After thinking about it for so long and finally waiting for this happy event, of course he would not be able to sit still, after breakfast he started pacing and kept looking at the time.
But this is not his fault, he waited for this day really too long.
He even dreamed of the old lady last night, he hadn’t seen her smile so much in a long time, her eyes were full of tears. Said he was doing well.
He woke up with the corners of his eyes also wet, his mood was unspeakably good, and he didn’t feel annoyed when he looked at the gloomy sky outside, probably the reason why people are so happy.
“We are the men’s side, we should arrive a little early.” The old master nudged his mouth, “You go outside to welcome them.”
The butler nodded and responded, “Yes.”
Zhou Guiqin had already called Su Orange eight hundred times, asking why she hadn’t arrived yet, it’s not good to be late for the first meeting, it will be called a joke.
Su Orange explained, “Mom, there is some traffic jam on the road, we will be there soon.”
Zhou Guiqin in the past two years Beijing North and Nanping both sides of the run, she also has her own place in Beijing North, this time busy preparing Su orange engagement, has been living in Beijing North.
The beauty of it is that it is far away from Zhou Yuchen’s place, half of the city, so it takes some time to drive.
Zhou Guiqin, a person with a strong sense of time, urged: “Then you guys hurry up ah.”
Su Orange returned, “Good.”
When the call ended, she blankly glanced at Zhou Yuchen, seeing the smile between his brows, she reached out and twisted her hand on his arm, “If you do this again next time, I’ll go sleep with Xiaoxiao.”
In fact, she originally intended to go to the rental room to sleep, so that pick up Zhou Guiqin is also more convenient, is that he pestered her to say that she is not allowed to go, soft and hard, and is kissing and hugging, and coaxing.
Su Orange ears are soft, where can he stand this grinding, red-faced compromise, behind is his intensification of the toss.
He ah, how can not enough like.
Su orange remembered the acidic waist, and vaguely trembling legs, did not hold back and pinched his arm a little, Zhou Yuchen laughed and went to hold her hand, was avoided by her.
“Drive properly.” She said shyly.
“Hold your hand so I can drive properly.” He juggled.
She retracted her hand back not to hold, Zhou Yu Chen forced to pull back, pinched her fingers to play, pinched to the palm of the palm when she felt her shudder.
He inclined his head to look at her, said with a bad smile, “So sensitive.”
He said the same thing when he kissed her behind her ear in the bathroom, and his voice was compelling and bewildering and deadly bad.
The phrase “so sensitive” was said slowly and long, with a hidden upturn at the end, just like a hook to lift your heart up little by little.
Su Orange is in his words, can not stand, leaning against him, let him make trouble, after the end of the time is late.
There are some details that can’t be thought about, thinking about it once palpitates her heart once.
Her eyelashes trembled as she forced herself to stabilize her mind, reminding him, “If you don’t hurry up, my mom will really be in a hurry.”
Zhou Yuchen accelerates before, looking askance at her, “That reward?”
“Give give give, whatever reward you want.” Su Orange now only wants him to hurry up, as for the reward he said, let him have it.
Zhou Yuchen hooked his lips, and in the next second, the car sped out.
Pick up Zhou Guiqin, and then rushed to the hotel, from the time of the appointment after ten minutes, in fact, is not late, traffic jam, often things.
Zhou Guiqin was a little dissatisfied, glanced at Su Orange, Su Orange was in the wrong, holding Zhou Guiqin’s arm, whispered, “Mom, I’m wrong.”
Zhou Yuchen unbuckled his seat belt, pushed open the door and got out of the car first, and then came to the rear door, reaching out to help Zhou Guiqin get out of the car.
Zhou Guiqin was not courteous and took his hand and walked down. Su Orange got out of the car by herself, she was two steps slower than them.
Zhou Yuchen explained in a warm voice, “I don’t blame Su Orange for being late, I was the one who delayed, if you want to scold me, it really has nothing to do with her.”
Zhou Guiqin laughed softly, “Alright, don’t put in a good word for her, being late for such an important occasion, as the woman’s side, it would have been her fault.”
“Auntie, it’s really my fault.” Zhou Yuchen continued, “It was my work that delayed the time, sorry.”
Zhou Guiqin, as a person who has been there before understands everything, and nods, “Forget it, get going, your grandfather is still waiting.”
Zhou Yuchen called the old man in advance, so the old man wasn’t in a hurry, seeing them come, a smile spilled out on his face, standing up, “In-laws.”
Zhou Guiqin strides over, busy saying, “You sit you sit.”
The old master sat down on his crutches, Zhou Yuchen sat on the old master’s side, Su Orange and Zhou Guiqin sat on the other side.
The first thing the old man said was to apologize, “It’s all my fault, I’m too spoiled for this kid, there’s no proper time to pick up people, so you’re in a hurry.”
“No no.” Zhou Guiqin politely said, “A-chen’s work is important.”
The old man agreed, “That’s true, this kid forgets everything when he works.”
Whether he forgot or not, only the parties involved knew, anyway, the elders came out to make peace, they just accepted it.
In this way, the matter of being late was revealed, followed by a friendly meeting of the in-laws.
During the meal, Zhou Guiqin asked about the engagement gift list, “The old man’s customs are different, so are the preparations, I don’t know if there are any rules on your side?”
The old master was also about to talk about this, put down his chopsticks, took a tissue and wiped his lips clean, then said with a light smile, “There is.”
“What?”
“All the things needed for the engagement are prepared by the man, and the marriage in the future as well.”
Zhou Guiqin glanced sideways at Su Orange, Su Orange shook her head, saying she didn’t know, Zhou Guiqin politely said, “This is not good, the two children are engaged, how can we also prepare.”
“All said, this is our side of the custom,” the old master said with a smile, “In-laws mother, your side really do not need to prepare.”
“This ……” Zhou Guiqin was a little hesitant.
“It’s settled.” The old man clapped his hands, “We’ll prepare on our side, and if your side has any needs, you can tell A-chen later.”
“But ……”
“Auntie, just do what Grandpa said.” Zhou Yuchen poured red wine for Zhou Guiqin, “This is our side’s etiquette.”
Zhou Guiqin heard about this kind of etiquette for the first time, tugging on Su Orange’s sleeve, Su Orange patted her hand and nodded again.
Zhou Guiqin smiled, “Then we will listen to you, old master.”
Just like this, the old master solved the matter of the engagement gift list in four ways.
This was also what Zhou Yuchen and the old master discussed on the phone before, there was no need for Su Orange’s family to contribute anything, all expenses, this side of the burden.
Anyway, the last thing he needs is money.
The back is to discuss the specific engagement matters and time, are the elders make the decision, so Su orange and Zhou Yuchen did not speak too much throughout.
The elders said what to do.
Only at the end Su Orange whispered, “Will it be too grand?”
She envisioned the engagement party to be a simple dinner for the two families, but didn’t want to make it so complicated, with a luxury hotel, a banquet for the guests, and an engagement trip at the back.
She always felt that this was a bridge that only appeared on TV, and inexplicably had a sense of unreality.
Zhou Yuchen missed her eight years, that eight years in the pining flooded into disaster, he lost half of his life, the other half is alive and well, it is not easy to go back to China to chase people to the hand, how can be so perfunctory.
He wanted to let all the people in the north of Beijing know that he had married his favorite girl.
Eight years of waiting was worth it.
“You deserve to be more grand.” If it wasn’t for the lack of time, he would have wished to do a better job.
“Orange, just listen to Sam.” The old master smiled, “You are unaware of how much this kid wants to marry you.”
Other than Zhou Yuchen, the old master was the one who knew the most about the inside story, he had watched Zhou Yuchen have more than one seizure over Su Orange, the pain of loving but not being able to love, he understood it the most.
Zhou Guiqin chimed in, “Old Master, all listen to you, just arrange it.”
After the end, the old master let the driver send Zhou Guiqin back, as for Zhou Yuchen and Su Orange, the old master sent them to watch a movie, “Young age, always nestled in the house for what, go, go watch a movie.”
Su Orange: “Then how will you go back?”
“I still have things to do, you guys go play yourselves.” The old man blew people away and turned the corner to another place.
After Su Orange and Zhou Yuchen reunited, they were busy working during the day and …… busy at night, and the night was also very busy, so the two of them hadn’t really seen a movie together.
Nearby to find a theater, chose a romantic film, sat in the middle of the seat to look, today is not the weekend, so the people watching the movie is not much, three or two, the laughter is not very big.
Su Orange has not rested well since last night, near noon and tossed for more than an hour, now sleepy, not long to close her eyes.
She leaned on Zhou Yuchen’s shoulder and fell asleep, sleeping too deeply, so she didn’t know what Zhou Yuchen had done.
He did not move and stared at her all the time, more than two hours of screening time, almost did not look at the big screen, his eyes and heart only this woman on the side of his body.
Think of those years, in the United States, he went to the movie theater alone, surrounded by couples, only when he was alone.
A woman came up to talk to him, he told the other side he had a girlfriend, the woman was surprised to ask: “Then your girlfriend people?”
His heart pumped hard, as if to answer her, but also as if to answer himself, “She is here.”
Coincidentally, the movie theater was full that day, in addition to the position on his side, an empty seat are not, the woman looked at no one sitting in the empty seat gave him a psychotic look, shaking his shoulders and walked away.
Zhou Yuchen’s eyes fell on the side, that is the seat he bought specifically for Su Orange, and then as long as he went to the movies he would buy two seats at the same time.
One was his, one was Su Orange’s.
At first, the students did not understand his behavior, thinking that his head is not normal, and then see more often, it is not strange.
On the contrary, there is a bold, did not hold back, asked him: “Zhou, why the pain?”
No way, love to the bone, simply can not let go.
After watching the movie, it was a little dark, Zhou Yuchen proposed to go eat Japanese food, Su Orange shook her head, a sleepy face, “I want to go home to eat.”
“Go home and eat what?” He asked.
“As long as you make it, it’s all good.” Su Orange said.
“Okay, I’ll make it for you.” Zhou Yuchen’s cooking skills were very good, he could cook anything, Su Orange didn’t know, these were later he learned especially for her, he was always smart, learning was, cooking was also.
After the company stabilized, he studied the dishes, the partners thought he was planning to open a restaurant, but not, he learned it for his girl.
Because he had promised her to be her chef for life.
Zhou Yuchen didn’t cook for nothing, and didn’t soften at all when he wanted a reward in the back, Su Orange’s red eyes and how she begged didn’t work.
Crying out loud doesn’t work either.
Zhou Yuchen’s obstinacy are on her, forehead perspiring sweat, softly coaxing: “Good girl, you relax.”
In the middle of the day, he suppressed and said, “Play bad with me, your happiness in this life will be gone.”
The author has something to say:
Brother Sam, hold steady.
Push the pre-collection “Summer Indulgence” ah ah ah ah, I’ll open this next book.
Wen Xi and Zhou Heng’s first meeting was not pleasant, the young girl was carrying a wound on her body and was standing at the entrance of a dimly lit alleyway wiping it off.
The wind was so strong that it rolled up the hem of her school uniform to reveal her slender waist, which displayed a number of bruise marks.
She wiped with great effort, her teeth gripping the other corner of the hem, her body turning half a circle sideways, her hand was a bit heavy, but her expression did not change at all, and she was light-hearted.
Zhou Heng walked by carrying a can of beer, his school uniform casually open, sleeves rolled up to the elbow, reflecting the deep scar on his lower arm.
The beer in his hand bubbled with white mist and made a bared sound. Halfway to the road, he fished out cigarettes and a lighter from his pocket, his lips dangling a cigarette, lowered his head and lit it, the smoke lingering, his decadent piercing.
One of the worst students in the middle school, learning good looks good is said to be quite able to fight, Wen Xi usually see him will go around the road.
Tonight ghostly, she took the initiative to open the door: “Hey, students borrow a lighter.”
Zhou Heng stopped, eyes like being washed with water, foggy, voice with desire, “Do you want it?”
“Do you?” The young girl put down the hem of her coat, her slender eyelashes arched a nice arc, “You, I want.”
Later on when they meet again, the electric fan in the shabby room strains to turn, the teenager washes away the blood on his forehead and presses her against the wall, the tip of his nose against the tip of her nose.
“Wenxi, I’m getting you out of here.”-
Then later, when they reunited in college, inside the cramped restroom, the man trapped her in his arms, rubbing her lips, and said in a suppressed voice, “Wen Xi, you can’t escape.”
That day, Zhou Heng came out of the restroom with teeth marks on the knot of her throat, three buttons off her white shirt, and scratches on her collarbone.
Then again, later, in the private villa, Zhou Heng pressed Wen Xi against the floor-to-ceiling window, pointed to the knot in her throat, and asked her in a lazy, gangly manner.
“Still biting or not?”
Little theater:
Everyone thought that in this game of love is Wen Xi first initiative, they do not know is that the first step out of that step is Zhou Heng, he used his body as bait to attract her into the game.
A friend asked him, “Do you regret it?”
He flicked the cigarette between his fingers, hooked his lips and smiled faintly, “I only regret letting her escape that night.”
But it doesn’t matter, just hook back.
