The Rest of My Life

Why do you think I'm so good to you?

I couldn't get out of his way, so I looked him straight in the eye.

Because of the distance, I couldn't see his expression clearly.

But somehow, my heart was pounding.

He was already walking toward the door.

Since he saw it, he must go down to greet it.

I looked at my pajamas. It was impolite to go out like that, so I added a light coat.

My things are still at the Hibiscus Courtyard. Originally, I wanted to ask Zhou Ning to accompany me there, but after thinking it would be too troublesome for him, I didn't bring up this matter.

I went downstairs.

Zhou Xun was standing by the window as he answered the call.

The lights in the hall were bright as day, illuminating his tall and straight back.

Outside the French windows was a dark courtyard and the swaying shadows of trees.

One black and one white, two worlds. Standing in the middle, he seemed even more mysterious.

I turned my gaze to his long white fingers.

Even his fingers were so beautiful...

I was a little stunned.

Zhou Xun suddenly turned his head and looked straight at me.

The light in his eyes was serene and heavy, like a deep pool in the spring sun.

I stopped a few yards away from him.

He hung up and walked over to me.

I was getting nervous, and suddenly I didn't know where to put my hands and feet.

He only glanced at me and said, "Follow me."

I didn't think the first thing I would say to you was this.

He had already turned around and was walking towards the study.

I was silent for about two seconds, then followed.

The study room was arranged very simply. There wasn't much furniture, and the bookcase behind it was also empty. Only the table was piled high with documents.

Perhaps it was because the room was empty and the lights were white, but even the warm yellow wallpaper seemed cold and cheerless.

It was the first time I had been in his study.

These past ten days, apart from the main hall and the bedroom on the second floor, I didn't dare to wander around the rest of the villa for fear of offending him.

I stood still and spoke first, "I'm sorry, Uncle Zhou. I have caused you trouble again …"

Zhou Xun looked at me for a while and then silently handed me a document case.

Suspiciously, I took it and opened it. It turned out to be my student records.

Previously, Teacher Tang said that my file had been moved away, so I thought it was taken by Su Shiyan.

Su Shiyan will definitely keep my records, so I won't be able to go back to school …

He didn't expect to get it back.

I looked up at him in surprise.

His expression was very calm as he said, "Keep the archives for yourself. Your school record is still in the Capital University. You can go back anytime you want."

I opened my mouth to say something, but found that I couldn't utter a word.

This was too surprising!

At the moment, other than Su Shiyan and Gong Shan's persecution, I was most worried about the matter of dropping out of school. In the end, Zhou Xun quietly helped me settle it.

He … He really is my savior …]

I looked at him, not knowing how to describe my gratitude.

Perhaps because I hadn't spoken a word, Zhou Xun's gaze fell on my hands, and he said: "If you're worried that you won't be able to conduct an experiment, then we'll leave school for half a year, and go back when we're done."

Of course I have to be the clinical experiment to learn medicine, he didn't even think about it for me.

My nose twitched as I muttered, "Thank you …"

Zhou Xun looked at me, the light in his eyes still profound.

There were tears in my eyes, and I couldn't quite make out the look in his eyes.

But suddenly, Gu Qiong's face flashed across my mind, and I suddenly woke up. I couldn't help but curse myself in my heart, how could I treat my benefactor so rashly.

Furthermore, how could a girl like me enter his eyes? In the end, I could only end up with a single love affair.

I lowered my eyes and did not dare to look at Zhou Xun again.

He actually did not say anything.

The study room quieted down.

Outside, the night was dark and still, with only the occasional chirping of insects and the occasional chirping of cicadas.

Unable to bear the silence, I gathered up my courage and looked up.

Zhou Xun was also looking at me.

My entire body shuddered. After much difficulty, I calmed myself down and said softly, "I … I want to rest for half a year first … "

Zhou Xun didn't ask me the reason, but only nodded slightly, indicating that he understood.

He finally withdrew his gaze.

I secretly heaved a sigh of relief. After a pause, I said, "There is one more thing that I want to ask Uncle Zhou for help with."

Zhou Xun said: "Go ahead."

I lowered my head and stared at my toes. My voice was even lower as I said, "Uncle Zhou, can you bring me to the Su family's wedding?"

Zhou Xun replied: "Sure."

I didn't expect him to agree so readily, and I was stunned.

Zhou Xun's voice sounded above my head: "Is there anything else?"

I quickly shook my head and said, "You have just come back so you must be very tired. I won't disturb your rest any longer …"

Zhou Xun acknowledged.

I turned and walked out.

Suddenly, he called out to me, "Read it."

This was the first time he had ever called me by my nickname when he was alone, and it made my heart skip a beat when I heard his low, raspy voice.

I tried to look calm and looked back at him.

He asked me, "What do you plan to do next?"

I was stunned.

That's what I've been thinking about.

Su Shiyan and Gong Shan will definitely not let me go, as long as I leave the Zhou household, they will definitely look for me again.

But can I just wait for Zhou Xun for the rest of my life to not let go?

Of course, there were other ways, such as borrowing Zhou Xun's power to completely eliminate him and Gong Shan.

But Zhou Xun has already helped me too much, I don't have the face to beg anymore …

I couldn't answer, so I kept silent.

Zhou Xun slowly walked in front of me.

He was tall, almost a head taller than me.

I looked up.

His eyes were deep and he was staring at me.

I ducked my head.

He said, "Do you want revenge?"

His voice was low, but it carried a hint of bewitching.

Even in my dreams, I want revenge. I almost admit it.

But when he suddenly asked me, I hesitated again, and held back.

He spoke again, his voice deeper than before. "I can help you."

A hot breath in my ear.

I became a little dizzy, unable to react.

He said: "You should already know, that Gu Qiong and I dissolved the engagement."

I nodded, wondering how he had gotten to this point.

He stared into my eyes and said, "The Gu family definitely won't let this go easily. I need a girlfriend as a cover."

I opened my eyes wide.

He slowly said: "You will be my girlfriend, and I will help you take care of Su Shiyan and Gong Shan."

I was still in a daze.

He said, "I can also eliminate your mental illness."

I was embarrassed to hear him talk about mental illness.

But luckily, I'm not really sick …

A lot of thoughts floated in my mind.

With the Zhou Family's power and influence, he can indeed easily help me deal with Su Shiyan and Gong Shan.

But his condition was that I should be his girlfriend.

I hesitated.

I don't know how much time had passed before I recovered from my thoughts and said with a wry smile, "Uncle Zhou, I'm really grateful to you for helping me several times." I am also tempted by your desire to avenge me. But … I feel that I am not suitable to be your girlfriend, because Miss Gu would not believe that you would look for a little girl like me … "

To be honest, Gu Qiong is a very scary woman, I am very afraid that she will take revenge.

But if it's just fear, I will still agree to Zhou Xun's request.

After all, he had helped me so much. No matter how I repay him, even if I had to pretend to be his girlfriend, even if I had to face Gu Qiong's threats, I was still willing to help.

But, I know myself very well, and I really am not worthy of Zhou Xun, so it is impossible for Gu Qiong to believe that he would be together with me.

Zhou Xun's gaze landed on my face, suddenly he chuckled and said slowly: "Why doesn't she believe it?"

I started.

He looked deeply at me. "Why do you think I'm so good to you?"
