The stand-in is just for fun, the sponsor is serious

Chapter 42

With rare patience, he leaned forward and hugged the petite lover,

Jiang Shu moved a bit, opened her eyes to look at him, in the darkness, Cheng Xiyu was caught by those peach blossom eyes that were full of water, and the tip of her heart seemed to be scratched gently by a cat's claw.

She just stared at him silently, there was a moment of loss in her eyes, then she obediently leaned against his arms without moving, and slowly closed her eyes.

Little lover has a little temper but not much...

Cheng Xiyu didn't intend to go to sleep, but just hugged her, closed her eyes and squinted for a while, and waited until the person in her arms was breathing lightly and fell asleep, and then carefully got up.

Jiang Shu doesn't sleep well, but he feels safe when he's around.

She dreamed of the past scene again, and woke up groggy. The night in late autumn was still a bit cold. The air conditioner was turned on in the house, and the temperature slowly rose.

Subconsciously looked to the side, Cheng Xiyu didn't know when she left, she slowly reached out and touched it,
icy.

The time on the wall shows 8:[-] p.m. Cheng Xiyu is having a video conference on the balcony of the living room. When the conference is coming to an end, a message pops up from the window——

[Bai Yiyi]: Are you still busy?Or...are you mad at me?
Bai Yiyi sent him two messages before and he didn't reply. He thought that with her arrogant temperament, she would not continue to make fun of herself.

Cheng Xiyu looked at the text message silently, and didn't even notice that the video conference was over, only his account was left in the empty video list.

Over there, Jiangsu Shu hadn't recovered from her dream yet, and she felt very bored. She got out of bed and found a coat to put on, and gently pushed open the bedroom balcony door.

Blown by the cold wind from the balcony, she unconsciously wrapped her coat tightly.

The balcony of the bedroom is next to the balcony of the living room. The balcony of the living room is a big floor-to-ceiling window, protruding out.
From here, Jiang Shu could clearly see the balcony of the living room by turning slightly sideways.

Cheng Xiyu only turned on a balcony light, and the warm yellow light shone on him, and he could be vaguely seen through the glass window.

Cheng Xiyu was wearing white cotton home clothes, which were a bit more gentle and luxurious than the usual suits and leather shoes.

This is how the sons of aristocratic families raised by Zhongming Dingshi's family.

Through the cover of glass and curtains, his figure is very faint and vague, like the hazy moonlight before the misty rain in the south of the Yangtze River, distant yet familiar.

He looked down at the message, and after a while, clicked on the dialogue box——

[Ayu]: No.What's up?

Very short, without any warmth and ambiguity.

I'm not angry with you, just tell me if you have anything to say.

"The other party is typing" is displayed at the top of the dialog box. It is not difficult to imagine that the other party has been waiting for his reply.

The evening wind in late autumn was a bit strong, blowing the small chandelier on the balcony, Yaoyao swayed, the shadow of the lamp swayed, and the swaying figures printed on the glass windows were mottled and scattered.

She saw who Cheng Xiyu seemed to be chatting with, but she couldn't make out the expression from this angle.

Who will be chatting with during this period of time, girls' sixth sense is always very accurate, Jiang Shu can almost be sure that the other party is a girl.

Cheng Xiyu waited for a while, his fingers were a little stiff due to the coldness of late autumn, and the opposite party was always in the state of "typing in progress", and when he was about to put down the phone, the other party sent a message——

[Bai Yiyi]: Ayu, can I ask what's wrong with Nana?Did she do something to upset you?She is my friend after all, and I can apologize for her.

Seeing her reason for coming, Cheng Xiyu's expression turned cold in an instant, and he sent a message with a sullen face——

【Ayu】: In what capacity are you apologizing for her?This is the end of this matter, you don't need to contact me about this matter, she did such a thing, do you think she is innocent?

Bai Yiyi didn't expect his attitude to be so tough,
Whether it was before or now, Cheng Xiyu seemed to be self-confident and strong, he would never make an exception for her just because she was his girlfriend, nor would he give any preferential treatment to her friends.

Cheng Xiyu's attitude towards her was very strange, gentle and indulgent, but when she wanted to get closer, she unconsciously avoided her. The two of them never had the intimacy or ambiguous love that ordinary couples should have.She chased him, and he agreed, and she said to break up, but he didn't keep her.

On the other side, Bai Yiyi's face turned pale, she bit her lip, her eyes gradually turned red, her heart seemed to be tightly grasped by something, and she felt extremely uncomfortable.

He is... different from before. He used to be so angry because of others, which is not at all like the indifferent Cheng Xiyu.

[Bai Yiyi]: ...Is it because of your girlfriend?
Cheng Xiyu was stabbed by the word "girlfriend", and his face was so ugly——

[Ayu]: "Jiang Shu is mine. It's normal for me to protect her. Even if I separate from her, I won't just sit idly by."

[Bai Yiyi]: Your... person?Ayu, do you know?You can be really tough sometimes.

"…………"

When Cheng Xiyu saw this, he clenched the phone tightly with his fingers, his knuckles turned white, and his heart seemed to be twisted. It didn't hurt, but it was still a little uncomfortable.

The Bai family and their big families are not in the same circle.The Bai family mainly deals in jewelry, and rarely dabbles in others, but it is also a prestigious family.

There was a period of time when the jewelry industry was very difficult to do. There was an accident in the Bai family, and there was a mistake in the appraisal, which led to a break in the capital chain. It was difficult for Belle to turn around. It still survived, but it didn't have the previous scenery.

At that time, Cheng Xiyu had just finished his sophomore year of high school, and he had already started to follow Cheng's father to the company to familiarize himself with some affairs. Cheng's father would let him take charge of some errands for choosing partners, to exercise his ability,

There are many companies with more ability and background than Belle, but he still chose Belle at that time, which is also the biggest help for Belle to come back to life.

Bai Yiyi was pampered since she was a child, and her family gave her a lot of money, but after something happened, her family's pocket money also decreased a lot.

She cares about face and is proud. She always loves to compare herself with ladies like Gu Ting, and Cheng Xiyu will always give her her own living expenses.

Cheng's father came from the army, he never advocated extravagance and licentiousness, and he was strict with his living expenses, so he invested with his friends and made a lot of money.

Bai Yiyi was embarrassed to ask for his money, and he would not say anything to coax people, but he said to her seriously: "You can use it at ease, I earned this money myself, not my family's money, you don't need to have it." What a burden."

Later, Cheng's mother didn't know where she heard that he was investing outside, and all the money he earned was given to Bai Yiyi.
Cheng's family has a big business, and the Xi's don't give up too much. Cheng's mother doesn't care about this small amount of money, but she doesn't like this kind of behavior.

In her eyes, the Bai family is not good enough for the Cheng family, and Bai Yiyi is not good enough for her own son. She came from a small family, and for this little money, she would lose her face.

Bai Yiyi had strong self-esteem. During that time, the two of them always quarreled. She would always compare herself with Gu Ting, force him to say what she wanted to hear, and then deliberately do things that challenged his bottom line. Seeing him For her sake and forbearance, she will be relieved.

She was always looking for proof that Cheng Xiyu loved her, and he didn't know if she finally found the answer she wanted.

It's just that after the college entrance examination, she mentioned breaking up for the first time: "I know I'm not good enough for you, everyone thinks so, then, let's break up, I won't pester you."

Her eyelids were swollen from crying, and she was sobbing.

Since being with her, Cheng Xiyu has never said anything cold to her, nor has he lost his temper. It was the first time he got angry and told her not to break up casually.

After that incident, the two returned to normal, but the good times didn't last long. Cheng Xiyu and Gu Ting Gu Zhao were in the same university, and Bai Yiyi was in the Art Academy. She was always suspicious, thinking that he would have something to do with Gu Ting.

In less than a year, Bai Yiyi brought up the breakup again, this time she was serious, and after mentioning it, she went to a foreign school to study alone.

Since then, the two have cut off contact.

Cheng Xiyu actually didn't quite understand Bai Yiyi's thoughts, he would go to all the cake shops in Nanshi to buy them for her in the middle of the night because she wanted to eat strawberry cake, and he would also be by her side when she was not feeling well. She has come to her boyfriend's due responsibilities, but she is still not satisfied.

She still felt that he didn't care about her.

He didn't know what kind of answer she was looking for.

He didn't feel bitter when he was thrown into the military area by Cheng's father, and he wasn't afraid when he fought against hostile forces for the first time. He felt that as long as he survived the obstruction of his family, the two of them could be together.

He thought he could keep the girl who drew him a snowman and celebrated his birthday with him forever.

It was Bai Yiyi who personally shattered this dream. After so many years, he still hasn't been able to wait for a loved and happy ending.

Text message to break up, no explanation, never see each other again.

That winter solstice made him unbearably cold.

He suddenly felt that the night breeze was unacceptably cold. Cheng Xiyu didn't reply, and the phone screen went dark automatically.

He took out a cigarette from the table next to him, lit it up and smoked, his mood gradually calmed down,

Gently exhaling a puff of smoke, through the smoky lights, he found Jiang Shu.

The smoking hand paused, and he squinted his eyes and turned slightly to Jiang Shu, as if he wanted to see what Jiang Shu was doing.

Jiang Shu sat silently on the white hanging chair on the balcony of the bedroom and stared at him blankly,
It looked like he was in a daze when he didn't wake up, and it seemed that he just wanted to look at him.

That gaze was the same as before, tender and affectionate, tender and nostalgic.

He didn't speak, but continued to smoke. He knew that Jiang Shu didn't like the smell of cigarettes. Every time she saw him smoking, she always looked at him with a cold look.

After a while, Yantai piled up a few cigarette butts, sparks lit up, and when he himself felt the smell of smoke was choking, he put out the half-smoked cigarette in his hand.

He looked up sideways, and found that Jiang Shu was still looking at him, the light was hitting her face, her eyes seemed to be shining brightly,

She is obedient, quiet and obedient, and when she looks at him, her eyes are full of his figure, with affectionate, dependent, and loving eyes.

When Cheng Xiyu saw her eyes, he was a little stunned. For some reason, he felt a little guilty.

The balcony of the bedroom is not far from the balcony of the living room. There is only a layer of glass separating it. The glass is not soundproof. Cheng Xiyu doesn't know when she came, nor does she know what she saw.

Thinking of this, Cheng Xiyu felt even more upset.

Something is wrong with him again.

The relationship between him and Jiang Shu is nothing more than a patron and a lover.To put it bluntly, it means everyone takes what they need, and to put it bluntly, it means trading for money and sex.He gives money and she gives services, both are voluntary, and no one suffers.

But in the end it was a little unfair, because - Jiang Shu liked him and fell in love with him at first sight.

Jiang Shu just jumped in, not even knowing about Bai Yiyi's existence, not even knowing why he chose her.

Cheng Xiyu recovered and saw Jiang Shu sneezed, her nose was a little red,

Seeing that she was wearing so little clothes in this cool night, he couldn't help frowning, just as he was about to walk over, he realized that he still had the smell of cigarettes on him,
Tsk, what a hassle.

He raised his hand to signal Jiang Shu to close the small window, and Jiang Shu tilted her head and looked at him puzzled.

Cheng Xiyu: "..." Stupid.

He simply sprayed on some light mint perfume, and walked across the living room towards the bedroom...

When he entered the balcony of the bedroom and raised his hand to close the window, Jiang Shu still looked at him quietly,
"How long have you been sitting here... What do you see me doing?", the smell of cigarettes disappeared from her body, and her fingers were still there. The moment Cheng Xiyu wanted to reach out and pinch her, Jiang Shu tilted her head in distaste.

Heh... the little nose is smart enough...

Cheng Xiyu was amused, but withdrew her hand.

Jiang Shu: "...I didn't sit for long, I'm not very happy today, just looking at you - I'm happy."

The balcony was dimly lit, Cheng Xiyu stood and looked down at her, she raised her eyes to look at him obediently, the balcony door was not closed tightly, the light from the bedroom spilled out from the crack of the door, and fell between the two of them.

At that moment, it was a bit like a scene in an idol drama.

Jiang Shu rarely takes the initiative to express her emotions.She doesn't like to say when she is unhappy or happy,

It was a bit like something a couple in love would say, but neither of them realized there was anything wrong.

Cheng Xiyu asked in a hoarse voice, "Why are you unhappy?"

Jiang Shu lowered her eyes and clutched the armrest of the hanging chair, with a childish leg swinging in the air and whispered to him what happened at Nantah University today.

Her Mandarin is actually very good, and she doesn't make people notice anything when she usually talks with people, but if she speaks a little longer sentences, it will reveal clues, Wu Nong's soft language from Jiangnan Water Town...

She hasn't realized that she has a southern accent, and she is still speaking slowly. Her voice is nice, and he listens carefully.

She was a little angry when she said it, and she looked at him after she said a word, a little coquettish and aggrieved: "But I don't think it matters, because I won him."

After finishing speaking, Jiang Shu stared at him with bright eyes, as if waiting for praise, with a faint look of anticipation on his expression, he seemed to have seen through these years when she was younger, the little girl's enthusiasm, freshness, Aijiao.

Cheng Xiyu was a little fascinated, he had never seen Jiang Shu like this, she was well-behaved, but also alienated, she was delicate, but also strong, but she had never shown such a lively and lively side.
