Bow to tempt the peach

Chapter 7 The Dream Has Everything

Night fell outside.

Zhou Yao entered Xu Youtao's house with her suitcase in hand. As soon as she entered, she began to look around unceremoniously.

The one-bedroom apartment was extremely cramped and small in Zhou Yao's eyes.

When they were in Beijing, they rented a three-bedroom house together.

"How much is this house?"

Xu Youtao guessed what she was thinking and silently compared the numbers.

Zhou Yao immediately dismissed all thoughts of disgust, then patted his chest and said, "Fortunately, our hotel provides accommodation."

Xu Youtao curved her lips and smiled, taking out two cans of soda from the refrigerator.

The two of them sat cross-legged on the sofa, drinking soda and chatting.

Zhou Yao brought up the old conversation again, "Can you talk to me about that fake Angel again?"

Xu Youtao thought of the 50 yuan she had just been ripped off, and replied in a depressed mood, "He is just a black-hearted man who only cares about money. He has nothing to talk about."

After that, he briefly talked about what happened in the evening.

Zhou Yao almost laughed when she heard this, "Hahahahaha, you are quite destined."

Xu Youtao's eyes were dark, as if he was seeing a ghost.

Zhou Yao: "If you break your wealth, you will break your wealth as soon as you see him."

"..."

Xu Youtao could not refute.

Ten minutes later, the barbecue takeout order was delivered, and the room was filled with a tantalizing aroma.

Zhou Yao looked at Xu Youtao, who was still enjoying the meal even though she was eating grilled chicken feet without any image, and sighed, "My brother's wedding will be in three days. If you had married my brother back then, you would have been my sister-in-law."

Xu Youtao rolled her eyes, "Don't ever say such things in front of your sister-in-law!"

She and Zhou Yao were high school classmates, and Zhou Yao's brother Zhou Ting was three years older than them.

Back then, she was admitted to a key high school in the city from a junior high school in a small town. After becoming friends with Zhou Yao, she would occasionally stay at Zhou Yao's house on weekends.

At that time, Zhou Yaogong was obsessed with thinking that she and Zhou Ting were childhood sweethearts, especially after they finished their college entrance examination, they madly matched her with Zhou Ting.

But they didn't have that interest in each other, so Zhou Yao could only sigh with regret. It was a pity for so many years, and it wasn't until Zhou Ting found a girlfriend that he stopped mentioning it.

Zhou Yao obviously remembered the things she did when she was young, and smiled bitterly, "Of course, my sister-in-law is very good, and she is more than good enough for my brother."

She smiled flatteringly again, "We'll go back together the day after tomorrow."

After Zhou Ting graduated from university, he returned to his hometown of Suzhou to develop. It is very close to Shanghai, half an hour away by high-speed train.

Xu Youtao remembered how Zhou Yao's parents had taken care of her during her three years in high school, and nodded, "Okay."
-
As dinner came to an end, the table was in a mess.

Xu Youtao didn't like to waste food and ate the last piece of toast slowly.

Zhou Yao, who was sitting opposite her, rarely became quiet and became a little absent-minded.

She glanced at Xu Youtao secretly from time to time, wanting to speak, but she was worried about something, so she could only rub a piece of toilet paper in her hand.

Xu Youtao finished eating the toast, put down her chopsticks, and glanced at her best friend lightly, "Just ask whatever you want."

It's hard for her to hold back her lively personality for so long.

"Taotao." Zhou Yao smiled brightly, but her tone was cautious, "You have been in Shanghai for a week, does Auntie know?"

As soon as the words fell, the air fell into silence.

Xu Youtao took out a tissue and wiped her mouth. She said lightly, "I didn't contact her." Zhou Yao opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but in the end she just said a word of comfort, "If you don't contact her, I won't contact you. I'll be with you." .”

"Okay." Xu Youtao lowered his eyes to hide his confusion, then got up and walked to the bathroom, "I'm going to wash my hands."

Zhou Yao looked at her back and could only temporarily suppress his worries. Then he raised his hand and patted his mouth, annoyed that he didn't open a certain pot.

In the bathroom, the cold water made Xu Youtao calm down a little, and a blurry woman's face appeared in her mind involuntarily.

The air around him seemed to be sucked out for a moment, making him feel suffocated.

Xu Youtao stared at the mirror blankly, then suddenly raised her hand covered with water drops and wiped it on the mirror surface. The mirror surface became blurred and distorted, but she felt much better in her heart.

She looks a lot like that woman, but she won't be as cold-blooded as the other woman.

"Taotao?" Zhou Yao slightly worried voice came from the living room.

Xu Youtao quickly suppressed all negative emotions and shouted back, "Here he comes."

In the silent night, the empty room was soon filled with laughter and joy.
-
The next morning, Zhou Yao followed Xu Youtao to the Entrepreneurship Park and even pretended to be a helper for her.

After seeing Zhou Yao secretly painting a turtle on the blank wall again, Xu Youtao couldn't bear it, "Zhou Yao!"

Zhou Yao was so frightened that her hand shook, and a black line was drawn under her hand. The turtle she had just drawn was destroyed.

She smiled guiltily at Xu Youtao, "Don't these walls have to be repainted and painted with murals? I am using waste to cultivate my artistic side."

Xu Youtao was speechless. Whoever cultivates artistic cells is a bastard of painters!

"Stop causing trouble. I'm going to rent a studio. You come with me."

Zhou Yao nodded hurriedly. There was still a full week before she officially joined the Shanghai branch. She had never felt so boring without having to go to work.

The two cleaned up, leaving Du Yan to do the simple finishing work. Xu Youtao took Zhou Yao to take a taxi to the office building that his assistant Xiaoling was optimistic about.

The office building is located in the Shanghai Development Zone. The development is not as prosperous as other places, but fortunately there is a direct subway, so the transportation is quite convenient.

Xu Youtao inspected it and was very satisfied with the location of the studio. Although it was just a small office, it was the beginning of her career.

"Xiaoling, it's nice here."

The girl named Xiaoling smiled with her eyes bent into the shape of crescents, and she was so excited that she felt like she had been beaten to death, "Sister Youtao, this is what I should do!"

"Well, then you contact the landlord of the shop. If possible, we can sign the contract today."

Xiaoling went to make a phone call excitedly. Only Xu Youtao and Zhou Yao were left in the office of just over 20 square meters.

Zhou Yao bumped Xu Youtao's shoulder, with a face full of teasing, "Okay, Xu Meigui, should I change my name to Mr. Xu?"

"Go aside."

Xu Youtao slapped her best friend's hand away, stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window and looked down.

With a height of more than 20 stories, the pedestrians and vehicles outside have become extremely small.

In order to further her career, she came to this city that made her resist. Fortunately... she was not alone.

Xu Youtao was filled with emotion and turned to look at Zhou Yao. Zhou Yao seemed to be glowing at this moment.

"Yaoyao, I'll treat you to a big dinner at noon."

Zhou Yao's eyes suddenly lit up, "Big dinner? That private restaurant on the 8888th floor of the Pearl Tower with a per capita price of [-]?"

She thought about it for a long time.

The passionate fire in Xu Youtao's heart was immediately extinguished, and she said with a cold face, "There is everything in the dream."
-
The lunch was spicy hotpot. After lunch, Xu Youtao also met the landlord of the shop, and she was shocked to the core with a suspicious look on her face.

"Lu Chenyan!!!"

She is not dreaming!
　Friends, see you tomorrow~
