I earn really hard money

Chapter 274 Luring the Wolf Into the House

"Things are done, drink and eat enough, it's time to rest..."

He Xia stretched out facing the starless night sky. The narrow stone road in the distance is lined with stone buildings from a hundred years ago. If you hide the various wires in mid-air and replace them with oil lamps, you will dream back to the Victorian era!
"He Xia, I asked my aunt to clean up a bedroom in advance, you, are you going to live with me, or...go to a hotel?"

During the conversation, he might not be able to react because of his low EQ, but after an afternoon, Zhou Shiyu had already realized that He Xia couldn’t sleep in the castle, but he could sleep in a hotel. Why did he stay at his own house?

Weird!
He Xia took it for granted and said, "You have made all the arrangements, of course I will follow your arrangement!"

"Well, that's fine..."

Zhou Shiyu showed a tangled look on his face. He was 26 and seven years old, not too old, but not too young. He had never brought a man to his residence to spend the night, and he felt a strange feeling in his heart.

Knight XV was driving on the small road in Cambridgeshire. It was fine during the day, but the difficulty increased sharply after nightfall. Yang Zicheng worked hard and followed the navigation carefully.

About half an hour later, the car stopped in front of a villa in the suburbs. There were similar villas on both sides, which belonged to the townhouse group, and looked like a good high-end community.

The two-story villa has a small garden in front and a dedicated garage. In the dark, a chimney can be seen standing high on the roof. The curtains on the first floor are not drawn, and a fat aunt is busy.

"You guys go, I can do it by myself, it's safe here, come pick me up tomorrow morning."

He Xia waved to the crowd behind him, and then swaggered towards the gate of the villa.

Zhou Shiyu followed behind He Xia with her head down, as if she was the guest and He Xia was the host...

When he came to the door of the villa, He Xia didn't knock on the door, Zhou Shiyu stood quietly, not knowing what he was thinking, and didn't knock on the door.

"What is the boss planning?"

Yang Zicheng was steering the steering wheel with a gossip look on his face.

Snapped!
"Made, who hit me?"

Yang Zicheng got hit in the head.

"If you peek at something you shouldn't, you will be fined!" Lu Qian said coldly.

Boom.

A huge roar sounded, and Knight XV sailed into the distance, breaking the tranquility.

Zhou Shiyu smiled embarrassedly, and then rang the doorbell. She was not used to holding the key to open the door by herself when there was someone at home.

After a while, the fat aunt opened the door and looked at the two with a smile. Although they were Westerners, they spoke authentic Chinese: "Miss Zhou, you are back, this must be Mr. He."

While talking, he handed over the slippers, and his movements were very quick.

"He Xia, this is Aunt Suzanne. She has been taking care of me all these years since I came to the UK. I learned Chinese from me. Isn't it good?"

Zhou Shiyu seemed to be a different person after walking in the door, and the tension and embarrassment before were reduced a lot.

"Susanna, hello, you speak Chinese very well!"

He Xia greeted Susanna while looking at the furnishings in the house.

Townhouses are a relatively common type of housing in the suburbs of the UK. Of course, compared with semi-detached villas and townhouses, the price is much higher, but this amount of money is not a problem at all given Zhou Shiyu's family background.

The furniture in the house has a European-style classical charm. The most eye-catching thing is the lamps, which not only have a strong sense of design, but also have many kinds of lamps, chandeliers, table lamps, wall lamps, floor lamps...

Not every light was on, but it felt odd to have so many lights in the room.

The mural on the wall is even more unique. It is not a landscape figure, but a DNA structure diagram. There are two spotlights hanging above the mural, as if afraid that others will not be able to see the spiral structure...

There are two stacks of books on the low coffee table next to the sofa, which are about a foot high.

"Well, a part-time lighting design for a female doctor who studies genetic engineering?"

He Xia swiped her fingers around and asked with a smile.

Seeing all kinds of lights in a room, he suddenly thought of a joke.

In the era when fountain pens were popular in the early days, if you put a pen in your breast pocket, everyone thought that person was an intellectual, if you put two pens, you were a high-ranking official, and if you had three pens, you were a pen repairer!

Zhou Shiyu took off her hat and put it aside, handed the bag to Susanna, stroked her hair, glanced at the lamps she bought one by one, and said with a smile: "I have been afraid of the dark since I was a child, so I have always liked lamps. , the light can give me a special sense of security."

She said in her heart, the light in the living room is nothing, there are more lights in the bedroom and study!

He Xia spread his hands and said, "This reason is barely reasonable, but if the power goes out... what should I do?"

The sense of security generated by relying on electric energy is somewhat unreliable.

Zhou Shiyu walked to the floor lamp with a unique shape about her height, took out a box of matches from behind the lamppost, took off the lampshade under He Xia's surprised gaze, struck the match with a stab, and lit the wick...

It is an old-fashioned oil lamp!
"There's a power outage with it."

Zhou Shiyu covered the lampshade, and the smile on his face was very gentle under the light of the fire.

He Xia is convinced, the ancient products of the last century have appeared, and he suspects that there may be lamps with other energy sources, such as gas lamps!

Continuing to fight is somewhat ungentlemanly, choosing to respect the petty fetishes of female doctors.

This kind of eccentricity is harmless, except that there are too many lamps, which makes it a little cramped, but the atmosphere in the room is very good.

"Well, your room is upstairs."

Seeing that He Xia was still looking around, Zhou Shiyu said aloud.

"I don't usually go to bed so early. By the way, your sister promised me something, but I never heard back. I'll ask what's going on."

"What did the tomboy promise you?"

"You'll know right away."

He Xia sat down on the sofa, took out his mobile phone and sent a video to Zhou Shiliu.

At 07:30 p.m. UK time, it was 02:30 p.m. in the beautiful country. Zhou Shiliu sat cross-legged on the bed and stared at the disk. The apartment was a single room with complete facilities. The living environment of rich people must be different from other students!
The sun shines on the bed through the gaps in the blinds, the bear sheets are a bit playful and cute, and there are occasional mouse clicks in the quiet room.

The environment of the small house is not much worse than Zhou Shiyu's small villa. Facts have proved that as long as you have money, you can live a comfortable life even in the mainland of Heizhou!

Suddenly, the sound of gently turning the doorknob sounded, the door was pushed open, and a girl with long brown hair came in, with a lively smile on her face, and a few small freckles on the bridge of her nose that made her look weird.

Holding a box of ice cream sprinkled with colorful candy bars in his hand, he asked, "Dear Scarlett, do you want to have a bite of vanilla ice cream?"

The girl flipped the shoes skillfully, stood by the bed with her bare feet, scooped up a scoop of ice cream and handed it to Zhou Shiliu, with stars shining in her eyes and a playful and cute pouting mouth.

Zhou Shiliu reached out and wiped the girl's lips, then licked his finger, and said, "The ice cream here is sweeter, well, I've tried it, Erica, we'll go out after the market closes, you play with your own first."

The girl named Erica nodded obediently, sat down at the desk, turned on the laptop, and the fiery red "N" appeared on the screen, eating ice cream while watching drama.

It seems that Zhou Shiliu's conditions are more difficult than Zhou Shiyu's, and there are actually two people living in a single room...

Just when Erica was about to put on the earphones, Zhou Shiliu's cell phone rang loudly, which startled her.

"Great gift crab special..." Zhou Shiliu cursed, picked up the phone to look at it, and pouted with a strange expression: "Why does this guy want me!"

Zhou Shiliu glanced at Erica, Erica responded with a sweet smile, then put on the earphones and turned on the TV series, then turned off the sound...

The video was connected, Zhou Shiliu looked at the screen in surprise, and said, "Hey, old lady? This..."

Zhou Shiliu thought that she had misread the WeChat ID, but before she could ask for confirmation, she heard He Xia's voice coming from the speaker.

"Cough, the camera is in the wrong direction, here, look here, um... where are you?"

At first, He Xia deliberately turned the camera around to tease Zhou Shiliu, and then pointed the camera at herself, and waved her hands happily.

Seeing the smile on He Xia's face, Zhou Shiliu felt like "the hostage is in my hands". She patted her forehead and said, "He Xia, what, what, sister, why are you together, why are you together?" Did you bring He Xia to live at your house?"

Zhou Shiliu directly shouted at the elder sister, this is just like luring wolves into the house, okay!

"Hey, are you polite? I'm sending you a video. Why are you calling your sister? I came to the UK to sign a contract. I forgot to book a hotel in a hurry. I stayed overnight at Dr. Zhou's house. Do you have any questions? "

He Xia said unceremoniously.

"What questions do I have?" Zhou Shiliu pointed to his nose, twitched his eyebrows, and said: "The question is serious, you old-fashioned critic is really a good way to deceive ignorant engineering girls, right?"

"Stop talking nonsense, my upright gentleman, don't tarnish my reputation, I haven't said anything to you yet, where are you?"

"Where do I need to explain to you, I'm in the apartment outside the school, what's the matter?" Zhou Shiliu said angrily, and explained in a compromise.

"What's the matter? Hehe, you can ask! Some people have promised to help me negotiate the acquisition. It has been several days and there is no news, Ace Pigeon?"

He Xia often doesn't care about words with women, there is nothing wrong with giving in, but Zhou Shiliu is an exception.

On the side, Suzanne, who came over with black tea, stayed at the door of the living room, and Zhou Shiyu was also stunned. Only then did she know that the old sister and He Xia communicated in such a rough way!

I was so surprised by the tone of the two that I didn't understand what they were communicating.

"I……"

Zhou Shiliu was at a loss for words. Since she missed the start of school, she had a lot of things to do in school after returning to New York, and then her girlfriend from last semester found her again, and for a while, she completely forgot about the promise to He Xia.

"Today is the market opening day. Don't research institutions not work? It's impolite to disturb others at this time!"

Zhou Shiliu's strong words are unreasonable.

"If you don't go on the opening day, wait until the weekend, and people will fly to other places to travel. Where can you find it? Hmm? Besides, if you leave now, when you get there, the market will be closed soon!"

He Xia's finger was about to poke into the camera.

Zhou Shiliu rolled his eyes helplessly, feeling a pain in his forehead.

"Can't speak anymore? I order you to set off immediately to find Siegfried for me. If you are poached by others first, think about the consequences yourself!"

While talking, He Xia secretly switched the camera and pointed at Zhou Shiyu, the threat was self-evident.

Zhou Shiliu looked at his older sister on the screen looking at He Xia innocently, not even knowing that the camera was watching her, and was very speechless.

"Yes, yes, yes, I'll go, I'll go now, I'm so annoying!"

Zhou Shiliu hung up the video and turned over and got out of bed. The old sister basically fell into the opponent's clutches, which made her very passive.

"Scarlett, are you okay?"

Erica, a beautiful country beauty, took off her earphones with a dazed face, and looked at Zhou Shiliu, who was furious. She didn't know what happened, but she knew that she had a fierce quarrel with someone in her mother tongue, and she was at a disadvantage...

This kind of thing rarely happened in school, and there were really not many people who could make Scarlet deflated.

"It's okay..." Zhou Shiliu took off his pajamas and went out to look for clothes in the closet.

Erica hugged Zhou Shiliu from behind, and asked affectionately: "Who was that man just now, so fierce, your father?"

"My father? A thick gift crab with a valve shell, no!" Zhou Shiliu couldn't help but swear, shaking his head and said, "A shameless bastard who is unreasonable, arrogant and full of lust, Ashou!"

"My God, there are still such guys in this world..."

Erica's brain worked hard, and she managed to make up how bad this heinous person was. This made her doubt even more, why would Scarlett be controlled by such a bastard?
Zhou Shiliu took away Erica's hand, put on his clothes, turned around and said, "I'll go to Park Avenue, do you want to go with me?"

"want!"

Erica jumped happily, and embraced Zhou Shiliu's neck enthusiastically, like a doll worried about being abandoned by its owner.

"But I'm going to talk about business. When you get to the place, you can play by yourself first, and you can't follow me."

Zhou Shiliu explained.

Erika was obviously reluctant, but nodded with a pout.

In Cambridgeshire, London, Suzanne carried an exquisite tray, put the lemon black tea on the tea table with an embarrassed smile on her face, said "use it slowly", and ran away.

"cough……"

Zhou Shiyu coughed, sat on the sofa beside her, took a sip from her teacup, and said, "It turns out that you and Shiliu have such a good relationship, I'm surprised..."

In her opinion, only when there is a certain relationship can one communicate with each other.

And Zhou Shiyu knows her sister well, helping a man to do things is a fantasy in itself, unless it is father and grandfather, let alone He Xia even yelling and giving orders without complaining, that's amazing!
He Xia put away the smile just now, and put on a gentle gentleman's reserved smile, and said: "She forgot what she promised me before. It's a bit outrageous. The most important thing is that I am her wrestling coach, and I can't beat me!"

"I can't beat..." Zhou Shiyu had a very strange expression on his face, how could the two of them look like children.

She imagined He Xia holding Zhou Shiliu's neck, roaring with a tiger's face, "Are you convinced?

"Well... I didn't understand just now, you told Shi Liu to go and find someone? Well, it's okay if it's inconvenient."

Zhou Shiyu changed the subject and asked.

He Xia stirred the lemon slices with a small spoon, and said: "It was very pleasant to cooperate with a research institution in New York before, and I want to acquire that institution. I don't have time to go to the beautiful country recently, and it's almost boring to talk through the screen. Please Zhou Shiliu help me go."

"Oh...it's really bad that she forgot such an important thing."

Zhou Shiyu doesn't know much about the concept of a research institution, but her sister has agreed to other people's affairs, so she must still do it.

After a brief exchange, the living room fell into silence, only the occasional ding-ding sound of the small spoon touching the cup wall, and the atmosphere was slightly awkward.

The main purpose of He Xia coming to stay here with Zhou Shiyu is to tease the two sisters, but in fact, he has no further plans, at least not at present. Instead of continuing to embarrass the atmosphere, it is better to end it as soon as possible...

"I flew from China to Spain, then went to Greece, and then came to England. Recently, my biological clock has been messed up. Your room makes me feel very comfortable. I'm sleepy..."

He Xia stood up and yawned pretendingly.

Zhou Shiyu also stood up and said, "Then I'll take you to sleep, the bedroom."

When talking about the bedroom, Zhou Shiyu was slightly embarrassed.

"Okay."

He Xia nodded with a smile. It's been a long time since I saw this kind of shy woman. They are all like wolves and tigers, and they are full of tiger and wolf words!

The two left the living room and walked up the wooden ladder. Suzanne's head poked out from the kitchen, eyes full of gossip, and she took out her mobile phone. The contact person on it showed: Mr. Zhou.

　I'm sick... I have a sore throat and a cold all over!

　　Don't even bother to test it, it will be fine in a few days.

　　Everyone, pay attention to your body, and at the same time, it is best to be mentally prepared, it will be uncomfortable for a few days sooner or later...
