The Rest of My Life

Zhou Xun frowned slightly.

I was a little worried for Xiao Wan as I whispered, "Uncle Zhou, let's go take a look."

Zhou Xun did not object.

When he reached the staircase, he saw Little Night sitting on the stairs with her head buried in her knees, crying uncontrollably.

She must be worrying about Auntie Zhou, right?

I thought for a moment before walking down and squatting beside her. "Little Wan, don't cry anymore. Aunt will be fine."

The young woman raised her head with tears in her eyes. Her nose and eyes were red. She looked extremely pitiful.

She looked at me and ignored me.

I smiled wryly. She was probably still angry with me.

Just as she was thinking about whether she should explain, she stood up and walked upstairs.

When she arrived at Zhou Xun's side, she reached out to tug on his sleeve, "Cousin Xun, I was too worried about my aunt just now. That's why I got angry at you … Don't blame me, okay? "

Her voice was soft and nasal. Moreover, she really did have a reason for what happened. Who could really blame her?

Sure enough, Zhou Xun's expression softened as he replied, "Don't think too much into it. I'm not blaming you."

Little Night's tears turned into smiles as she called out to him, "Cousin …" You are very kind! "

I looked at her back and felt a little strange. Previously, when she saw Zhou Xun, she would shyly run away, but this time she took the initiative to look for him. Moreover, she did not hide her admiration and gratitude towards him.

Perhaps … Was it because Auntie Zhou's sudden illness had provoked her?

But her relationship with Auntie Zhou was so close, so she should be able to tell that Auntie Zhou was pretending to be sick …

Zhou Xun said to her, "Go to your room and take care of aunt."

"Yes," the night girl answered in a low voice and went straight upstairs, not looking at me from the beginning to the end.

I sighed to myself. She was probably mad at me now, and I would talk to her when she had calmed down.

Zhou Xun's gaze fell on me. "Let's go."

I nodded and followed him back to my room in silence.

After the door was closed, I didn't care about anything else but to pull his clothes and say, "Uncle Zhou, let me see the wound on your shoulder."

I've been thinking about that ever since he was hit by the cup.

I didn't think that the first thing I would do would be to strip him of his clothes. Zhou Xun looked at me deeply for a few seconds, then he shook my hand and said, "I'm fine, his wounds are almost healed … …"

I don't believe it. I have to see it for myself.

He had no choice but to cooperate with me and unbutton his shirt.

It wasn't until I was sure that the wound hadn't split open that I could relax.

Zhou Xun slowly buttoned his shirt.

His fingers were long and slender, his movements graceful and unhurried as he fastened the last button.

I hadn't thought much about it when I unbuttoned him, and now he was wrapped from head to toe in a tight, forbidding way. However, his white clothes fluttered in the wind, and under his shirt were muscles that couldn't be hidden … In fact, it was more of a fantasy. The images of many nights in my head, his naked body hugging me tightly in his arms …

My whole face burned, and I couldn't help but swallow.

Zhou Xun chuckled, as if he could tell I was eyeing him.

My voice was low and husky, making my heart race.

I blushed, but my mood improved a lot after what I said.

After a pause, I mustered up my courage and said, "Uncle Zhou, I want to make it clear to you that I didn't contradict my aunt."

Then I told him what Aunt Zhou had said to me before I left, and what she had said, and what she had said.

Zhou Xun acknowledged, "I know all about it."

The smile had faded from his face, replaced by a serious expression.

Even so, I was relieved. At least he didn't intend to wrongly accuse me.

He suddenly cupped my face and said, "Today, I've caused you to suffer grievance."

Listening to his gentle tone, I thought back to Auntie Zhou's predicament, and the ruckus that had taken place all morning.

I felt wronged, but I didn't want to hide it.

Zhou Xun held me in his arms and said apologetically, "Aunty has such a strong personality. We can only be soft …"

I smelled the mint fragrance on his body and felt a lot more at ease. I tightly hugged his waist and said, "I understand."

As long as he still stands by my side and doesn't want to send me away, I will be willing to suffer this grievance for him.

Zhou Xun hugged me for a while before saying, "For this period of time, you can only stay at home and take care of aunty. Auntie still doesn't know when she'll be fine …"

I know what he means. If Aunt Zhou keeps pretending to be sick, we'll have to take care of her.

Judging from Auntie Zhou's appearance, she would not easily compromise. Even if Grandpa Zhou beat her up today, with her heart disease as a protective umbrella, how could she just let it go?

In the future, the Zhou family would no longer have peace.

However, I was also the target of Aunt Zhou's hatred. It was the main reason that made her restless.

I couldn't help but sigh as I was a little worried about the days to come.

Zhou Xun looked at me and said, "It seems that we can only take a leave of absence from the school."

I also took this into account.

School is about to start in a week. Of course, I didn't want to give up the opportunity to return to school, but on Auntie Zhou's side, I couldn't get away. Luckily, Zhou Xun didn't ask me to take a break from school or withdraw from it, he only asked me to take a leave of absence. I thought that we should go through with the registration formalities first and then discuss it with Teacher Tang to see if we can make some arrangements.

I feel very sorry for letting Teacher Tang down time and time again.

More importantly, medicine is not like other subjects, where taking leave of absence can keep up with progress. Medicine is rigorous and requires a lot of time. Not to mention taking a leave of absence, everyone wanted to spend the entire holiday, especially the clinical trials. They had to put in all their effort to deal with it.

So even if Teacher Tang is on leave, I'm also very willing to do so. I'm just afraid that I won't be able to make it in time.

Unless it was a suspension.

But... Was it worth giving up so many years of dreams to please Aunt Zhou?

I was conflicted. After being silent for a long time, I couldn't help but ask, "Uncle Zhou, did you ask me to pretend to be your girlfriend just to deal with aunt?"

Zhou Xun suddenly tightened his grip on my arm, but he didn't deny it.

I guess I was right.

I became silent, but my heart surged with monstrous waves.

If I don't want to serve Auntie Zhou, if I don't want to give up school, I'll probably have to part ways with him.

He could have found a woman to use as a shield, but I signed a contract with him and got a lot of his things.

What's more, I like him, so how can I bear to leave him …

It was really a dilemma.

I frowned, unable to make up my mind.

Zhou Xun didn't know if he had found out what I was thinking, but he didn't say anything and just quietly embraced me.

After some hesitation, I decided to fulfill the contract and help him deal with his aunt.

Even if I hadn't helped him so many times just to be in love with him, I shouldn't have abandoned him at a time like this.

As for the school... For a moment, I couldn't think of a good way.

I hesitated, then decided to speak to Zhou Xun. Perhaps he had good suggestions.

After Zhou Xun heard this, he said in a low voice, "Don't worry, within this week, I will think of a way to make aunt accept you."

His words were very convincing. With his guarantee, I immediately relaxed.

Very soon, it was already noon. Zhou Xun and I were having lunch with Aunt Zhou, accompanied by Uncle Zhou and her two sons. Naturally, Little Ye was there as well.

In order to express my sincerity, I carried a bowl of steaming hot soup and planned to feed it to Aunt Zhou.

Auntie Zhou's expression was cold, but she did not object.

I was surprised. Could it be that she was willing to slowly accept me?

Everyone was staring at my movements. I didn't have time to think about it as I whispered, "Aunt, this is soup for you from the kitchen. I said it's good for the heart."

Aunt Zhou didn't even look at me, but she didn't seem to mind.

I breathed a sigh of relief, afraid that she might be scalding, and blew on the spoon before I put it to her lips.

As soon as she took a sip, she knocked over the soup bowl in my hand with a snap.

I was caught off guard, unable to dodge in time.

The steaming bowl of soup was all over my head. Since the soup was filled with boiling oil, a burning pain immediately came over my face. I was probably scalded.

Auntie Zhou was cursing, "Bitch, are you trying to scald me to death?!"

My hair was dripping with oil and my face was burning, but she wondered if I was going to burn her.

I even blew a little before I gave it to her.

I stood there awkwardly, not saying a word.

Angry, she suddenly picked up her cell phone and slammed it down on my body. "Get out of here, I don't want to see you!"

If it wasn't for Zhou Xun, who was standing in front of me and kicking his phone away, I would have been hit.

I bit my lip tightly and fought back tears. I didn't make a sound or move.

It wasn't that he hadn't suffered such grievances, but that Su Yan didn't care about his father-daughter relationship. All I want is to get rid of me so that I can take over my grandfather's estate... Gong Shan flaunted her pregnancy in front of me. She almost broke my finger... Gujon even shot at me, and my shoulder and foot wounds haven't healed yet...

However, after they released their malice towards me, I could immediately treat them as enemies.

However, the woman in front of him was no match for him.

She is Zhou Xun's aunt. Be it scolding me, beating me, or even pouring hot soup on my head, I cannot retort, nor can I complain …

Zhou Xun gently caressed my face and tucked the hair that was stuck to my face behind my ear. He then turned to Aunt Zhou and said, "I don't think she did it on purpose."

Auntie Zhou's eyes were cold as she stared at him, "Are you pleading for her? I tell you, no way! If she can burn me today, she can kill me tomorrow with a knife! "

This was completely nonsense.

How could I have killed her with a knife... What's more, the one who's been burned is me …

My hair and face were greasy, and I stood alone in the room, not even paying attention to Zhou Xun.

Everyone was comforting her.

Uncle Zhou was carefully coaxing her, while her two sons were wiping her hands that had just been splashed with soup.

She was trying to make things difficult for me and put me in my place, but no one dared to criticize her.

Zhou Xun looked at me and frowned. "Aunt …"

As soon as he opened his mouth, Aunt Zhou angrily interrupted him, "Are you trying to protect this woman?!"

Zhou Xun's frown deepened, but he finally shut his mouth.

At this time, Little Night softly said, "Cousin, why don't we let Miss Nian apologize. Regardless of whether it was intentional or not, her carelessness is a fact. But Mom isn't an unreasonable person. As long as she apologizes, I think Mom will forgive her. "

At first it sounded like she was trying to help me, but in reality, she was hinting at my lack of attention to Aunt Zhou.

I lowered my eyes and pretended not to hear her.

Auntie Zhou snorted through her nose, presumably dissatisfied with my attitude of pretending to be deaf and dumb.

Zhou Xun's voice also turned cold. "Apologize."

I looked up in surprise.

With an unprecedented solemn expression, he repeated, "Apologize to Aunt."

My whole body froze.

He could clearly tell that this was Auntie Zhou's trick, but he still chose to stand on Auntie Zhou's side …

I bit my lower lip and thought of how I had just decided to help him deal with Auntie Zhou … This is just the first test, how could I not hold it in?

I took a deep breath and said, "I'm sorry, Aunt. Next time I will pay attention."

Aunt Zhou raised her eyebrows. "You want to apologize, right? "Sure, I'll forgive you if you kneel in front of my room for two hours."
