She is the most beautiful rose

Chapter 256: The Story of Rose

On the fourth day after the couple separated at Hanlu Temple, after finishing the accumulated work in the company, Zhou Mi followed Qin Yanfeng to a county several hundred kilometers away. He met someone at a service center on the national highway and handed him something.

After returning to Huaicheng, he couldn't find the whereabouts of his good friend again.

The company's business is extremely busy. I just came back from a cocktail party and found someone's lipstick marks on my collar.

Zhou Mi went to the bathroom and tried to wipe it off with a wet wipe with some disgust. A woman approached behind him, with a very faint rose scent.

He was in a trance for a moment, and when he looked up, the woman standing next to him in the mirror was none other than Helandai.

Suddenly I felt the smell was a bit pungent.

"Why haven't I seen Mr. Qin recently?"

Zhou Mi wiped his hands nonchalantly, then lowered his eyes and said, "He's busy."

The woman chuckled, with a hint of sarcasm between her heroic brows, "I heard that he and Mrs. Qin are having a relationship crisis?"

Zhou Mi turned aside and looked at her straight in the eye. His tone of conversation was gentle and casual, as if they were talking about interests. "Deputy Manager He, do you still care about these things?"

He emphasized the word "deputy". Helandai curled her lips and didn't care. "Now everyone says that Mrs. Qin... oh no, it's Miss Shen. She deliberately approached the Qin family for some unspeakable secret. Is the marriage just a cover?"

Zhou Mi gritted his teeth, he had just solved a problem at the company, and now he was causing trouble again. However, this person was the person sent by his superiors to do the year-end evaluation of each enterprise, he couldn't afford to offend him for the time being.

He smiled wryly and said, "Feelings are feelings, work is work, and I have never asked about it. Deputy Manager He is not going to use this to judge the quality of the company, right?"

Helandai listened to his perfunctory response and smiled faintly, "That's not the case. I heard that the Qin family made a big fuss to clear Miss Shen's name at the beginning of the year. Later, they broke up and got back together. I don't know whether it was true or not. I didn't expect that Miss Shen had ulterior motives. It's a pity that Mr. Qin was wishful thinking."

How could Zhou Mi not hear the intention of slander in her words?
He wiped his hands, ended the topic with an excuse to find someone, and turned around to call his father, "What is the background of the person in charge of the annual inspection this year?"

The old man's voice was heavy, "You really can't ask about this matter."

"……have to."

If you can't afford to provoke him, you can afford to avoid him.

Zhou Mi went straight back to his residence in the city center. The beautiful Spitz hummed and rubbed against his feet. He lowered his eyes and looked at it for a long time, then made a phone call, "My dear, did Ah Yan send Zhizhi to you again?"

Bai Qing was very frugal with words, "No."

Zhou Mi was feeding the puppy, and he seemed to know where A Yan was.

Seaview Blue Bay is where Ayan lives.

Zhou Mi thought he had gone somewhere else and never thought he could stay here forever.

In the room at the end of the corridor, a movie screen was playing a love movie from a certain country. The sound was muted, and all one could see was the hero and heroine kissing passionately.

If he hadn't kicked the beer bottle on the ground, and the sound of the glass bottle rolling caused the person on the sofa to move, Zhou Mi would have thought that he had accidentally entered a place he shouldn't have entered.

In the movie, the sky cleared up after the rain and the screen became much brighter.

Zhou Mi walked around the wine bottles on the ground to the sofa, looking at his friend who was sitting on the ground leaning against the sofa.

There are several bottles of wine on the round coffee table, and a yellow triangular amulet with a red string?

Qin Yanfeng was very calm. Apart from the movement of sidelong glances at the beginning, he did not make any other movements. It was as quiet as if he was watching a pantomime, with almost no other emotions.

But there was indeed a very faint sense of sadness spreading over his whole body.

Zhou Mi cleared the empty wine bottles around him, sat down next to him, and opened a bottle of wine.

Perhaps the environment will affect people. Zhou Mi narrowed his eyes slightly and watched the hero and heroine in the movie separate on a rainy day. The loneliness and boredom also soaked his whole body.

"Ayan, let me tell you a story about roses."

Not long after his friend returned from abroad, Wei Song came and the group gathered at the end of the capital. They jokingly asked about A Yan's fiancée. Zhou Mi had stayed in Huaicheng the longest and had the most say.

He said that Shen Manzhi was the most beautiful rose in Huaicheng.

Not a lie.

Zhou Mi's impression of Shen Manzhi was that he knew since he could remember that the Shen family had a daughter who was deeply loved by the elders around them.

As a kid from a wealthy family, he was somewhat curious and jealous, so he would go to any parties or activities that the little princess attended.

But we were just participating in the same event or party and had no other interactions, I just wanted to see how great she was.

She was smart and versatile, and after seeing so many things, she developed a habit. She watched the girl, who was no younger than two years old, slowly grow into a beautiful rose, becoming more and more bright and dazzling.

Later, when he entered junior high school, he suddenly felt bored. His family was strict and he had a rebellious personality, so the activities in his circle depended entirely on his own interests.

After three years of rebellion in junior high school, he had grown into a teenager of about 1.8 meters tall. Young men from aristocratic families always had an aura of nobility, and he was very popular when he was in high school.

He also knew his own shining points and began to appear in circles with his friends. The next time he heard the name Shen Manzhi from others, it was already a disgusting word.

He was in a very depressed mood at the time, as if he had once seen a rose in full bloom, which should have blossomed beautifully, but he found that it had already been picked and thrown on the side of the road and stepped on many times.

It was then that he really began to get to know Shen Manzhi and wanted to know if he had ever made a mistake.

As a result, he couldn't stop knowing it. It was so damn fascinating that he knew it from the age of seventeen to twenty-seven.

The high school and junior high school departments of Huaicheng No. 1 Middle School are on the same campus, but the two areas are separated and generally not interconnected.

That year Zhou Mi was a sophomore in high school. One time, he was so engrossed in playing basketball that he didn’t pay attention to the time and was late. It happened to be the class of the homeroom teacher, so the guys decided to skip class. They would get scolded anyway, so they might as well enjoy themselves first.

Go out from the basketball court and pass the junior high school next door, which is closest to the place where you can climb over the wall.

Zhou Mi walked at the back, his school uniform draped over his shoulders, and he tilted his head to hold a cigarette in his mouth. The person next to him offered him a light, "Brother Mi, do you want to go for a bath and massage? My brother went there last time and he said it was pretty good."

The boy in front of him turned around and slapped him, "How can you talk like that? Brother Mi is not interested in that. Why don't you buy two bottles of good wine to honor your brother Mi!"

"You are corrupting Brother Mi now, and he will become a fast boy in the future!"

"Hahahaha, what are you talking about? Be careful, Brother Mi will beat you up!"

Several people burst into laughter. Zhou Mi walked slowly at the end, smoking a cigarette and grinning.

The moonlight was dim, and he raised his eyes slightly.

Just after passing a corner, there was a pond behind the dark antique library building, and a small open space for an observation deck extending from the building. He seemed to hear a faint sound.

"Brother Mi?"

The person in front saw that the man was not moving and called him.

Zhou Mi's brows relaxed slightly, and he followed, "Here I come."

After taking two steps, the tip of his ears moved slightly, and he stepped back and tilted his head to look in that direction.

The moonlight cast a silver glow. Beside the pond, under the pavilion, on the smooth marble floor, a slender figure in a thin Hanfu dress was dancing gracefully.

It was like a butterfly hit his heart and made it tremble slightly.

Zhou Mi frowned calmly.

Is the junior high school so leisurely?
He refused his friends' invitation to climb over the wall and leave the school on the pretext of having something to do, and pretended to answer a phone call and went in the opposite direction from them.

I turned around and walked towards the library, went up the side escalator, and the view was better in front of the railing on the second floor.

Girls grow faster than boys in junior high school. The girl looks to be about 1.6 meters tall, maybe closer to 1.7 meters.

The movement of raising the legs is soft yet firm, slender and straight, the hem of the skirt hangs down like flowing gauze, and her sleeves flutter in the wind.

Zhou Mi put his hands on the railing, smoking a cigarette and looking down, admiring the scene nonchalantly.

Until someone breaks this beautiful moment.

Four or five people in school uniforms came over aggressively, stood in front of the girl, pointed at her and cursed.

Zhou Mi couldn't quite remember what he was cursing about.

He only heard those people calling her Shen Manzhi.

It turned out to be Shen Manzhi.

Zhou Mi exhaled smoke with interest, wanting to see what was going on. He was thinking whether to go down and help the little rose, or to act like a ghost and scare these people.

But before he could think it through, Shen Manzhi packed up his things on the ground and prepared to leave.

"Why are you running?"

Those people were looking for trouble with her, so how could they let her leave easily? They stepped forward to stop her and asked loudly, "Why do you get to be the solo dancer at the Golden Autumn Gala? What benefits did your family get from Teacher Xu?"

He watched Shen Manzhi being forced to the edge of the lake, leaning against the guardrail, with half of his body leaning back.

She really didn't say a word, just raised her head slightly to avoid the hand of the person in front of her, and suddenly raised her eyes, staring straight in his direction.

Several people looked back in the direction Shen Manzhi was looking. In the dark library, they could only vaguely see the shadows of people above.

Looking at the changing faces of the people in front of him, Zhou Mi saw the corners of her mouth twitch slightly. If he stood in front of her, he should be able to see the mischievous smile on her lips.

"There's a ghost, why don't you run away?"

Zhou Mi: “…”

“It seems like there is really someone there!”

"No...it can't really be the legendary lonely ghost!"

"Ah ah ah ah ah!"

One coward was enough to throw the group into chaos. Several people ran back the way they came, and someone even pushed Shen Manzhi before running away.

She picked up the backpack from the ground with a lack of interest, patted the wrinkles on her clothes, took out a school uniform and tied it around her waist.

Zhou Mi hurried downstairs to catch up with her, "When did you find out I was upstairs?"

Shen Manzhi tilted his head to look at him, then moved his gaze down to his school uniform, which was from the high school department.

"You guys are so loud, it's hard not to notice."

Zhou Mi blinked. Indeed.

He walked beside her and smelled a very faint scent of roses along the way.

But now the flower season has passed, he slightly side-eyed, "So I just helped you?"

Shen Manzhi said expressionlessly, "Do you want me to say thank you?"

Zhou Mi curled his lips, "It's okay to call me senior."

Shen Manzhi pointed his finger downwards, "Your face has fallen to the ground, remember to pick it up."

Zhou Mi's mouth twitched. Well, he was still as sharp-tongued as when he was a child, making his peers stay away from him.

"Do they often give you trouble?"

Shen Manzhi paused for a moment, then stopped and turned sideways, his expression even sincere, "You want to help me?"

"..."

He didn't want to get involved in muddy waters.

Shen Manzhi didn't expect an answer. It seemed that he just wanted to see his frustrated expression, or to tell him to stop interfering.

Zhou Mi only realized now that this road was the path he and his brothers had just taken to climb over the wall and leave school.

Shen Manzhi walked to the edge of the wall, stepped on a few brick stepping stones on the ground, climbed up nimbly, and then jumped down by supporting herself on the top of the wall. Even though she was wearing a skirt, it did not affect her skillful movements at all.

Zhou Mi was quite shocked. He looked at Shen Manzhi and waved to him through the iron fence. He said obediently, "Thank you for pretending to be a ghost, senior."

"..."

What the hell is obedience!
