rose in his heart

Chapter 2 see you

Yu Qing was her roommate when she was studying abroad. Xing Zhu did tell her some of his personal affairs, although their relationship was mediocre.

Why did you tell Yu Qing those things in the first place...

She can't remember.

Maybe because there were only the two of them in the dormitory at that time, Yu Qing talked a lot about her personal affairs, and she felt that she had to say something to echo her, otherwise Yu Qing would be embarrassed, right?
It's just stress amnesia, and she just lost the memory of many years ago, just a month, so there is nothing to say.

Without replying to Zhang Kai, Xing Zhu clicked on his profile picture and scrolled down, intending to delete his friend.

Swiping the screen with her fingers, she suddenly saw a familiar face when she slid to Zhang Kai's circle of friends.

The movement stopped.

Xing Zhu opened Zhang Kai's circle of friends. This was the first time she opened Zhang Kai's circle of friends since they met for a month.

His circle of friends is very rich in content, various travel check-ins and stock screenshots, which she is not interested in.

What she was interested in was a photo he posted three days ago.

Copywriting: [Gathering with my best brothers, the two youngest bosses in the country, everyone should know them, right? 】

Picture: Zhang Kai, and two men.

Xing Zhu calmly put his finger on the screen, clicked on the photo, expanded outward, and enlarged the photo.

In the center, the side face of the man who was lighting the sandalwood on the table came into view as if magnified.

He didn't seem to know that someone was taking pictures, posing casually, wearing a simple plain black T.The delicate facial contours became more three-dimensional under the light of the flash, and the curl of smoke emerged and surged at his fingertips, like an illusory snake.

She is a snake.

Xing Zhu thought, it's a bit of a coincidence.

What's more, this man is the one she saw outside the coffee shop before.

As expected, Jiangcheng is still too small... Any man you meet can be a good friend of her ex-boyfriend.

She thought he was just a college student, but he was already working.

Suddenly I remembered what the two girls in the coffee shop said before, one of them said: This man might look ugly with his mask off.

Combined with his face without a mask now, Xing Zhu curled his lips casually.

This is so ugly that there are probably no men in the world who can see it.

After long pressing the phone screen, she clicked [Save].

Then he quit WeChat, deleted Zhang Kai's matter, and temporarily put it on hold.

Putting the phone aside to charge, leaning against the head of the bed, Xing Zhu picked up a book.

Time passed by, although her eyes were watching, but she didn't see the content, she was extraordinarily restless tonight.

Looking at the time, it was already two or three o'clock in the morning.

No sleepiness.

I got up and opened the blackout curtains in the bedroom, the world was quiet and lonely.

A black cat was curled up next to the trash can downstairs. It seemed to have noticed something, and looked up at the tall building in front of it.

Xing Zhu also looked over.

One person and one cat looked at each other, Xing Zhu didn't understand what it was thinking, but it seemed to have known Xing Zhu for a long time, and it was not afraid of strangers at all.

After closing the curtains again, she drank a small bottle of useless brain-soothing liquid, and she fell asleep.

One of the advantages of living alone is that she can go to bed any time she wants, and no one cares about her schedule except herself.

After lying down for about 10 minutes, Xing Zhu suddenly remembered something.

Opening his eyes, he picked up his phone and glanced at the date, then frowned.

Tomorrow is the day we made an appointment a week ago to go home.

But if she goes back at night, she can catch up on sleep in the afternoon.
-
At 07:30 the next night, the biological clock woke her up on time.

After washing his face and changing his clothes, Xing Zhu went out with the car keys in hand.

It rained so hard last night that it seemed to flood the garage.Fortunately, this place is considered a high-end residence in Jiangcheng, and the property management has done a good job. Within a day, all the water has been drained.

When Xing Zhu got into the car, there was a property owner yelling behind him, "Hey, other communities are not as efficient as our Huating Mansion. I just went out to take a look, and they are all flooded!"

After Xing Zhu drove the car out, he found that the property owner hadn't lied.

The people in Shanghe County all came out by stepping on the water, with extremely sad expressions on their faces.

The water on the road is also quite deep, and the Mercedes-Benz Grand G she drives has a high chassis, which can't affect her.There are many broken-down cars on the road, and their owners showed envious eyes towards this big G that was driving unimpeded.

Someone raised his hand to stop it for help, Xing Zhu's speed slowed down a bit, the man glanced at the driver's seat, but suddenly sneered, "Female driver, forget it, don't let her get down to help. "

Xing Zhu speeded up expressionlessly, splashed dirty water, and hit the man heavily, and she heard a furious swear word.

By the time we got home, it was already 10 minutes later.

The two-storey detached villa stands in the southernmost rich area with the highest terrain.Other places were drowned to death, but here is still bright.

Pressing the doorbell, Zhang's mother suppressed her joy and opened the door, "Zhuzhu is back?"

Xing Zhu glanced at the person in front of him, hummed, changed his shoes and walked in.

In the living room, the pale yellow light was warm and comfortable, and the three of them were already sitting at a table, as if they were talking about something funny.

The appearance of Xingzhu made this warm scene silently broken, and the laughter disappeared instantly.

It was like a sudden transition in a movie, the emotions were broken, and an inexplicable alienation spread from it.

As for Xing Zhu himself, he didn't seem to realize that all the silence was due to her arrival.

At the farthest position of the long table, she calmly pulled out the stool and sat down.

The corner of the stool rubbed against the ground, making a harsh sound.

At the same time, a flattering female voice came into Xing Zhu's ears mixed with the harsh sound.

"Zhuzhu, you're finally here. We're all waiting for you to serve dinner. Auntie made your favorite sweet and sour pork ribs. Try it quickly. Is it delicious?"

Xing Zhu raised her eyes, her black and white eyes looked like clear ink paintings, in stark contrast to her facial features, which were as strong as European oil paintings.

The person she was watching pursed his lips in fear.

Xing Zhu withdrew his gaze and took a chopstick.

The greasy and uncooked light sugar-colored pork ribs lie in a smooth bowl. Although it is not disgusting, it is the kind that makes people unappetizing.

Under the watchful eyes of the three, Xingzhu finished eating.

Without speaking, he picked up the second chopsticks.

As soon as it was put into the bowl, a thick male voice came over, "If you don't want to eat, don't eat, if you don't want to go back, don't go back, who will show your face?!"

Xing Zhu didn't feel that he was showing face.

She just didn't want to waste her energy, forced a smiling face, and flattered her warmly.

After all, even if she did this, she wouldn't get any favors.

The essence of her low-consumption life is condensed from home.

Putting down the chopsticks, she said in a calm voice, "Father, if I don't come back, will someone cry to you again, saying that I won't accept them?"

As soon as Xing Zhu finished speaking, the expressions of the other two changed dramatically, but neither of them made a sound.

It's just synchronous, showing pitiful and helpless eyes, looking at Xing Qin who is on the main seat.

There is probably no middle-aged man who can refuse such a soft woman to turn to him, even if one is a second-married wife, and the other is a daughter brought by the second-married wife, who is not related by blood.He is also willing to strongly criticize his own blood that he has not seen for a long time because of his strong vanity.

Xing Qin, "Did you accept them? Xing Zhu, it's been eight years, I thought you would grow up, but I didn't expect you to be so ignorant!"

Xing Zhu, "Yes."

Xing Qin was choked speechless, looked at the quiet Xing Candle in front of him but was covered with invisible sharp thorns, and took a deep breath, "Eat, leave after you finish eating, don't upset me."

After dinner, the sky was completely dark. Because of the cloudy sky, the sky seemed to be deeply covered by a thick layer of dark blue cloth.

Xing Zhu got into the car, Zhang Ma ran over cautiously, stood beside her car, and delivered a bag of fried chestnuts with sugar.

"Zhuzhu's favorite food is roasted chestnuts, take it quickly..."

She raised her hand to take it, the paper wrapped in the chestnuts was still hot, and in the dark night, the expression on her face was a little fuzzy.

"Thank you Zhang Ma."

Zhang's mother smiled as if relieved, "Zhuzhu, in fact, your aunt has no bad intentions, and your father is just careless and doesn't care about your emotions. Zhang's mother has seen these five years very clearly. It's all like this , why don't you let go of your obsessions and go home? You are so lonely abroad, and you still have to live in such a remote place when you return to China..."

Zhang's mother began to cry while talking, and the hot tears fell on the back of Xing Zhu's hand.

"Mom Zhang, I'm going home, and I won't live a better life than now."

"But…"

"Besides, it's never me who has obsessions."

Zhang Ma thought of something, pursed her lips and did not continue to speak.

Out of the corner of her eye, she saw someone coming behind her, Zhang Ma stepped back and retreated into the villa.

Xing Zhu peeled off the chestnut shell, and put a round and plump chestnut into his mouth.Biting a chestnut, feeling the scalding heat, she looked out the car window.

Tang Shuang, no, she should be called Xing Shuang now.

Xing Shuang stood outside the car window, with small and well-behaved features, long black hair reaching her shoulders, but her eyes were full of mockery.

"Xingzhu, you are so lucky."

"You're good too."

Hearing the sarcasm in the words, Xing Shuang turned pale, gritted his teeth and said, "Xing Zhu, you are a lost dog, everyone is poking your spine, why are you so proud?!"

Xing Zhu thought, the one who was bereaved or not, the remarried Xing Shuang brought by Ou Qian, wouldn't that count as one?

Not wanting to talk nonsense with Xing Shuang, she looked away, stepped on the accelerator, and rushed out of Xing's villa.

With the lessons learned from last night's insomnia, Xing Zhu knew that he would not be able to sleep even after returning home, so he just drove aimlessly on the street.

Like last night, it rained again.

The rainy season in Jiangcheng is like this, it lasts for half a month.She remembered that the last time she came back, it was also in the rainy season, and she stayed at home for a week, and she was about to get moldy.

Later, she got on the plane and went back to school.

Unexpectedly, when I came back this time, it was still the rainy season.

The car stopped on the side of the road, took out her phone to check the time, and saw that someone had sent her a wechat message by the way.

do not want to go back.

Throwing the phone on the co-pilot, Xing Zhu leaned loosely on the cushion behind him.

The hustle and bustle of the outside world made her suddenly quiet, and she even took a nap for a while.

Ten minutes later, Xing Zhu opened his eyes suddenly, the rain was falling crazily, and the surrounding area was completely dark, only a 10h convenience store not far away had lights coming out.

She hurriedly started the car, the engine buzzed and vibrated, and the car died out.

She immediately turned off the fire, leaned out to take a look, and was taken aback.

It turns out that the position where I just parked is not the highest point, but the lowest point.The heavy rain at the moment has already flooded the big G tires.

This car is not cheap. She bought it with her own money. The money didn't come from floods, so she will feel distressed.

Xing Zhu immediately called the insurance company to call for a tow truck, but it should be that a lot of cars have been flooded in the past few days, and the call was busy for a long time.Instead, I called the 4S store to call for a tow truck, but the person over there yelled, "Take a picture of your vehicle in water and send it to make sure it's accurate! Then we'll send a tow truck to pull it!"

Here, it's stormy outside, and the water has reached her calves, so go out and shoot now?
Needed?
Xing Zhu wanted to say something else, so he hung up the phone directly.

The car can't stay here all the time, and the convenience store is also some distance away from her. It's still a corner here, and no one can notice that she can help her.

Xing Zhu didn't open his umbrella at all, and got out of the driving seat with his mobile phone.

It was raining heavily, and the screen of the mobile phone was hit by the rain so that it failed. She used her body to block the rain on the mobile phone, and barely took a picture of the car's flooded state and the current situation.

She was about to get back into the car with her mobile phone in her pocket, but she didn't notice the sharp and wide iron piece that was hit by the water not far ahead and was flying towards the lowest point.

Unaware of the imminent danger, Xing Zhu's legs were still soaked in the muddy rainwater, which was cold and even made him a little weak.

The big G has a high chassis and a high driving position. I usually feel nothing when getting in the car, but now it is a bit difficult.

Xing Zhu propped his hands on the door frame of the car with strength, his left leg got on the car, and his right leg felt much easier.

However, as soon as she raised her right leg, the mobile phone in her pocket slid outwards due to her movement.

In this case, the phone cannot be dropped.

Xing Zhu subconsciously stopped, bent over to fasten it, and the moment his hand touched the phone, he was directly hit by the rear gravity into the car, and his body was pressed hard on the driver's seat!
The phone is dropped.

The nerves in Xing Zhu's brain suddenly collapsed into a line, and he roared, "You fucking——"

Her words stopped short before she finished speaking, because the dim built-in lights in the car illuminated her vision.

It's him again.

Zhang Kai's good brother.

The man pressed on her body, with his hands resting on the left and right sides of her cheeks, keeping a certain distance.The scorching breath sprayed on her ears, one after another, like a whistling gust of wind.

He stared straight at her, his eyes were dark and silent, and his voice was low, without any other emotions, "Just now there was a piece of iron washed by the water in front of your leg, if I don't push you, your leg will be useless .”

It turned out that he was the gravity that suddenly came out from behind.

Without his explaining, Xing Zhu had already heard the screeching sound of the iron scraping against the car body.

She pursed her lips without speaking, and her breathing gradually calmed down.

"Thank you."

The close contact didn't last for a few seconds, the man looked straight behind him, didn't respond to Xing Zhu's thanks, turned over and was about to get out of the car.

At this moment, Xing Zhu didn't know what he was thinking, subconsciously raised his hand, and directly grabbed the open neckline of his black T-shirt.

In the dim light, his neckline was ripped wide open.

Smooth and muscular lines, eight-pack abs protruding upwards, and under the abs...

In an instant, she saw everything that should be seen and should not be seen.
