The Rest of My Life

I felt terrible inside, but Zhou Xun had clearly lost his mind, and I did not push him away, letting him do as he pleased.

Then he fell asleep.

I dragged myself to wipe him down, then went to the bathroom and took a shower. When I went back to bed, I couldn't tell what it was like to see him frowning in his sleep. Normally I liked his warm embrace best, but this time I didn't dare approach him. I lay as far away from him as I could, staring out the window at the dim light, and only after a long time did I fall asleep in a daze.

When I woke up the next day, Zhou Xun was already awake. I greeted him as if nothing had happened.

As if he lost his memory, he went up to hug me and kissed my forehead. "You definitely didn't sleep well, right?"

I could only smell the refreshing scent of mint on him. It must have been washed.

He held my face and said, "Sorry, I drank too much last night. I won't do that again."

I looked into his eyes.

His eyes were gentle, and he was still considerate, but all I felt was awkwardness and an indescribable sadness.

I smiled and shook my head.

He opened his mouth, but didn't say anything more. He led me downstairs to eat breakfast.

Only Grandpa Zhou and Rui Rui are in the restaurant. Grandpa Zhou told me and Zhou Xun that Uncle's vacation is almost over on Tuesday, and he will have to return to the army tomorrow. Second Aunt and the rest will also leave.

I didn't really know Uncle Tuesday's family, so I didn't feel too much about it, but the thought that Rui Rui was going to his father soon made me feel a wave of reluctance.

Although we left for a better meeting, Zhou Xun and I still don't know if we'll be able to continue on. Perhaps, we won't have the chance to meet Rui Rui in the future … Thinking of this, my heart felt heavy.

It's just that I didn't want Grandpa Zhou and the others to see my abnormality, so I tried my best to restrain my emotions.

After breakfast, Zhou Xun escorted me to school. I was also silent along the way.

Zhou Xun seemed to sense that something was wrong and he didn't say anything, but he still held my hand.

It wasn't until we arrived at the school that I finally looked at him and said in a low voice, "Uncle Zhou, you …" Don't drink so much in the future, okay? "

Zhou Xun pinched my fingers and replied in a low voice, "Alright, I promise."

I smiled at him and was about to open the door.

He suddenly grabbed my hand and pulled me back into his embrace. He gave me a heavy kiss and said, "I'll come get you later."

I agreed.

The laboratory was very busy at times, and at times it was very leisurely. Teacher Tang didn't require us to be here every day, nor did he require us to stay for long, but normally, we would arrive at 9 in the morning and leave at 6 in the afternoon. If there was anything, we could arrive late and leave early.

However, Zhou Xun's work was even busier than the laboratory. He had been accompanying me for the past few days, so he must have accumulated a lot of things. I did not expect him to come and pick me up in the evening.

But since he has agreed, I will not refuse.

I think he was feeling guilty.

For the rest of the morning, I was uneasy.

Senior Brother Wei seemed to realize that I was not in a good mood. He spoke a few words of explanation, and my heart was moved.

Actually, I felt a weird atmosphere the moment I entered the laboratory.

There were several senior brothers and sisters in the laboratory. Including the two senior sisters from the medical university next door, there were about ten people in total. It was fine with the other senior brothers, but they never had a good relationship with each other. Initially, I had always thought that my relationship with Senior Brother Wei and Senior Brother Jiang was pretty good. However, after what Senior Brother Wei mentioned last time, I started to guard against Senior Brother Jiang.

Looking at it today, Senior Jiang was really cold to me. Although he tried his best to restrain himself, he couldn't conceal the jealousy and disdain in his eyes.

My two senior sisters surrounded me and asked me all sorts of questions, but they were all asking Zhou Xun's information.

As for the other senior brothers, they were much more enthusiastic towards me.

After some consideration, I concluded that it had something to do with Zhou Xun.

Coincidentally, Senior Brother Wei said to me in private, "Everyone is very grateful to Young Master Wednesday. The three sets of equipment that he sent were exactly what we needed."

It is just as I thought.

Senior Brother Wei looked at Senior Brother Jiang, who was conducting experiments alone, and said, "Ignore Old Jiang and let him think it through himself."

I nodded.

As long as Senior Jiang didn't provoke me, I wouldn't become enemies with him. We're all adults, so maintaining peace on the surface is still possible.

When they were discussing going to eat lunch together, Senior Jiang suddenly said, "I don't want to go to the cafeteria with Nian Ming."

The two senior sisters immediately asked him for his reason.

He smiled and said, "We will definitely be surrounded later. Last time, it was just like this, from the laboratory to the cafeteria, there will be people following us and there are even people pointing fingers behind our back …" I am a low-key person, you two can go eat with Nian Bing. "

It was a joke, but he gave me a meaningful look, and there was a clear look of rejection in his eyes.

I didn't say anything.

The two senior sisters smiled in realization and followed their senior brother Jiang.

Senior Brother Wei hurriedly walked over and said, "Yes. Old Jiang is afraid that you will take the limelight. Let's go eat together with you."

The other senior brothers also agreed.

However, I thought for a moment and still rejected him. The main reason is that I was a little afraid of going to the canteen as well. Last time, I was pointed out by everyone.

Senior Brother Wei then said, "Then help me bring the food."

I hurried to thank her.

After the other Senior Brothers left, Senior Brother Wei stayed at the back and said in a low voice, "Ever since the two Junior Sisters came, the three of them have often come together. They are very secretive and don't pay much attention to us. Our treatment is the same as yours, so don't take it to heart. "

I knew he was trying to comfort me and I felt even more grateful. However, there were some things I needed to remember, so I didn't need to keep thanking him. I secretly decided that if Senior Brother Wei needs any help one day, I would definitely help.

After thinking about it, I gathered my thoughts and joked, "If it's like this, senior brother, your peach blossoms will run away."

Senior Brother Wei made a face. "There will always be a peach blossom waiting for me in the future."

I laughed.

After that, Senior Brother Wei also went out. I went to the washroom after tidying up the data in the laboratory by myself.

When he finished, he heard Senior Jiang and his two senior sisters had already returned. They were chatting with each other.

I didn't think too much about it and planned to go over and greet them. In the end, a senior sister of mine suddenly mentioned me.

She said, "I can see that she's in a bad mood today. She must have suffered at the Zhou Mansion. I told her Wednesday was too short for a country woman like her. She must be holding on, afraid that we'll see it. "

You're actually talking about me behind my back …

I'm not really that angry. In this world, it's impossible for people to not be talked about and have conflicts with others. I was just a little embarrassed, and immediately withdrew my foot.

They discussed enthusiastically, saying that Zhou Xun had a woman outside, that I deserved an abortion...

I don't know when they'll be able to end this conversation. I hide behind the door, wondering if I should appear out of the blue and interrupt them, or if they will only get worse with each passing moment.

However, just as I held the door handle, I saw Senior Brother Wei striding in.

He happened to hear his senior sister say something bad about me and loudly berated, "Don't be too outrageous and recite that she isn't the kind of person you're talking about!"

Senior Jiang crossed his arms and sneered, "You do like her, right? That's why you're so protective of her."

Senior Brother Wei said with a straight face, "Old Jiang, you should know in your heart who exactly likes her. We've been together with her for four years, and I'm sure you know what kind of person she is. "I also know why you want to study here, but this is a school, so don't blame me for not reminding you that Teacher Tang hates scheming and scheming. If that happens, don't lose your doctorate."

There was a hint of warning in his words.

Senior Jiang's face was ashen as he stared at Senior Wei without saying a word.

A senior sister came out to smooth things over and said, "Senior Brother Wei, we're just curious. Please don't tell Teacher Tang that we have no ill intentions towards remembrance."

Senior Brother Wei looked at her and ridiculed, "Don't think that I don't know your thoughts. He claimed that she was a woman from the countryside, but unfortunately, you guys couldn't even compare to half a finger reciting. Thinking about how her grandfather was the richest person in Flower Landing City, and now that her grandfather's fortune had all been taken by her … Flowers approaching the horizon could not compare to the imperial capital, but it was also a famous mining city … He's the wealthiest, do you think he'll lack money for recitation? "

Senior Jiang and his two senior sisters seemed to be shocked by his words.

Even his other senior brothers were shocked.

Senior Brother Wei said, "Even if his recitation is not as good as Wednesday's, it is still better than yours. He is just a low-key person! It's better if you don't say such bad things behind my back. That way, you'll only look even uglier! "

These words were a bit too heavy. Senior Jiang and his two senior sisters' faces were very unsightly. However, they did not refute Senior Wei and only awkwardly ran to the resting room.

When everyone dispersed, I walked out.

When Senior Brother Wei saw me, he came over and asked in a low voice, "Did you hear it all?"

I hesitated and nodded.

Senior Brother Wei sighed and said, "I'm sorry, but I secretly exposed your family's situation."

I shook my head.

Because no one asked, I didn't mention it, but if I could expose my family's situation and make everyone shut up, I would be more than willing to do so. What Senior Wei did was to help me.

He patted my shoulder and said, "Regardless of what they say, I feel that you're quite a good person."

I smiled as I looked at him and sincerely said, "Senior Brother, thank you."

He waved his hand and passed the packed lunch box to me. "Eat quickly. It's getting cold."

I felt a warm feeling in my heart. As for Senior Jiang and the others, I didn't really care.

During the afternoon experiment, the two senior sisters faced me with an awkward expression. Senior Jiang, however, had a gloomy face and ignored me from the beginning to the end.

I didn't speak to him either. Although I wouldn't hold a grudge, I also wouldn't throw a tantrum.

When Teacher Tang arrived, she called him to her office and said, "I'll be heading to New York for an academic exchange at the university in a week's time. I'll be taking two assistants with me in about a month's time. Are you willing to come with me?"

I was stunned.

Then he remembered that the tenth of next month was Zhou Xun's birthday. If he were to go to New York, by the time he came back, his birthday would be long past.

I hesitated.

Teacher Tang said, "You should think about it properly. Give me an answer in two days."

I quickly replied.

In the evening, Zhou Xun came to pick me up. His expression was the same as usual, but for some reason, I could feel that he was in a bad mood.

When I thought that it was possible that he had become like this because of Qin Xueman's boyfriend, it was as if my heart had been submerged in ice water.

After all, I didn't tell him about the trip.
