The Rest of My Life

Zhou Xun laughed as he scratched my nose. "Grandpa is busier than I am every day. He either goes to exercise or goes fishing. Life is so colorful."

Me: "…"

Then he even said that he would stay behind with Grandpa Zhou, afraid that Grandpa Zhou would be lonely …

Zhou Xun chuckled, "I just wanted to give you and grandpa a chance to get to know each other …" Besides, Grandfather is still happy that we're staying here. I saw him drink an extra bowl of congee just now. "

That was true. The old man definitely wanted his family by his side.

I was about to say something when Zhou Ning walked over.

He looked at Zhou Xun and said, "Third young master, the carriage is ready."

Zhou Xun nodded before turning to look at me. "I have something that I need to go out for, so I might be late." If you are bored, go see your friends or ask a servant to take you shopping. "

I said smilingly, "Go back to your work. Don't worry about me."

After Zhou Xun left, I returned to my bedroom. Somehow, I felt empty inside.

The room was still filled with the scent of the previous night's and Zhou Xun's, which should have felt sweet and sweet, but I couldn't bring myself to do it.

Perhaps it was because … I have not yet adapted to my new identity and circumstances, nor have I been able to foresee and control my future.

Since the arrival of the flower in the capital, his engagement to Zhou Xun had been like a new life.

But this life is unforeseeable. I don't even know what I'll become.

The sunlight outside was dazzling, shining through the white curtains and onto his body, warming him up.

I knew I couldn't let myself down, so I decided to find something to do.

Since Grandpa Zhou and Zhou Xun weren't at home, I thought for a while, then gave a call to Qingyao and asked her to meet us today.

As it happened, Li Jun was outside, so she didn't have any objections to me changing the meeting time.

So we arranged to have lunch together.

Of course, before leaving, I did not forget to report to Zhou Xun.

I was afraid of what might happen.

The main reason was because I was afraid that Gu Qiong would attack me again. She could drug me at Flower Landing, not to mention that this is the imperial capital and this is her territory.

When Zhou Xun heard that I was going to see his classmates, he didn't stop me and even arranged bodyguards for me.

By the time I got downstairs, a dozen bodyguards were waiting for me in the lobby.

Although I felt that it was a little exaggerated for me to bring so many people out for a meal, I also knew that it was safer this way.

When the leader of the bodyguards saw me, he immediately stepped forward and said, "Miss Nian, hello. My name is Zhou An. From now on, I will be in charge of your safety."

He wasn't very tall, but from his eyes, one could tell that he was quite good at it.

I hastily replied, "Then I'll be troubling you …." Can I call you Brother An? Just tell me to read it. "

Zhou An nodded and replied with a single word, "Alright."

Maybe the bodyguards were quiet. I smiled, but didn't take it to heart.

I made an appointment with Li Yao at a Western restaurant in the Second Ring Road. It wasn't far from the Zhou Mansion. If we didn't get stuck in a traffic jam, it would just take us about ten minutes to get there.

On the way, I deliberately searched online, but the post from yesterday had already disappeared without a trace, and no one mentioned it today either.

I was completely relieved.

Soon, we arrived at the Western Restaurant. When I pushed open the door and entered, Teng Qingshan was already waiting for me.

She was sitting facing the door, and I saw her at once.

She was a very beautiful girl and possessed a literary style that transcended the mortal world. Although she usually seemed very aloof, in reality, she was just a heartless little girl who was well protected by her family. She had no scheming mind and was kind and adorable.

I've been with her for four years, so I know her personality very well. Aside from being close to her, I also have an urge to protect her.

Li Yao waved at me from her seat with a smile.

When she laughs, it melts.

I immediately walked over and asked, "Have you been waiting for long?"

It was so hot in the middle of summer and the only place in this western restaurant was an open parking lot. Walking in from the outside, I was drenched in sweat after just a few steps.

She pulled out a few pieces of paper and passed them to me, indicating that I should wipe my sweat. She said gently, "I just arrived as well."

I sat down across from her.

At this moment, Zhou An and another bodyguard also entered. They were dressed in casual attire and were sitting next to me. The rest of the bodyguards were waiting outside.

This kind of arrangement, let me feel very comfortable, at least others will not look at me strangely.

I carefully sized up Li Jun. She had a very good complexion and her face was bright. She seemed to be a little girl who didn't have any worries at first glance.

Then we talked about our lives for the next few months.

She had spent most of her four semesters busy with the art gallery's matters. Now that she had finally completed the task and was only waiting for it to open, she heaved a sigh of relief.

As for the opening, her family would hire someone to help her with the art gallery, and all she had to do was draw in peace.

I was genuinely happy for her, and even a little envious of her leisure.

Then I talked about what had happened to me.

My experience is much more miserable than that of Li Jun.

But I didn't go into details. I simply told her about my plan to go against Su Yan, and finally told her about Zhou Xun.

I replied, "It's all thanks to him. Otherwise, I might have been sent to a mental hospital."

Li Jun sighed and said, "I didn't expect your father to be such a great person …"

I smiled. Exquisite was the right word.

Regarding Su Yan's disgusting behavior, I don't even want to remember it.

She changed the topic and said, "I heard that he was very powerful on Wednesday and was a character that everyone in the capital was afraid of. I thought he was not a good person to get along with, but I didn't expect he was very kind."

I noticed that the way Teng Qingshan used words was always so sharp and accurate.

Indeed, I had initially thought that Zhou Xun would not interfere in my affairs, but instead he helped me time and time again.

In my heart, he was a very good person.

Perhaps it was because she saw me fall into silence, but she waved her hand in front of my eyes and asked, "Speak, what are you thinking about?"

I recovered and said, "You're right. Uncle Zhou is a good person."

Li Yao looked at me in surprise. "You're called Young Uncle Wednesday?" You and Him... Aren't you married? "

I smiled. "It's just an engagement."

Originally, I wanted to tell her that I and Zhou Xun were faking our engagement, but thinking back to last night, when I used my actions to emphasize that we weren't just putting on an act, and that he had even concealed his childhood, I hesitated for a moment and eventually didn't say anything.

He was just afraid that if Grandpa Zhou heard of it, it would be troublesome.

Li Jun held her face in her hands and said, "You called him uncle …" You guys sure are interesting. "

Me: "…"

However, she was right, this title aroused Zhou Xun's interest. Every time she called him uncle, he would gnaw on my bones.

Jun Yao stared at me, her big eyes twinkling. "I really envy you for finding someone who is so good to you …"

I looked back at her seriously. "You're so good, you'll find it."

Li Jun smiled and drank a mouthful of fruit juice without saying a word.

I looked at her suspiciously.

Her face seemed to darken a little, as if she was trapped in love.

But as far as I know, she doesn't even have a first love, and there are a lot of guys chasing after her.

Could it be … She was actually enlightened and had someone she liked?

Just as he was about to ask her, she suddenly opened her mouth and said, "Nian, I want to ask you. You and Shen …" "Is it less familiar?"

I looked at her in surprise. "Qingyao, you …" Do you like Senior Shen? "

I can't blame myself for thinking about this all at once. The main thing was that it was too abnormal for her to ask about men. Normally, she wouldn't even respond to a man confessing in front of her, much less ask about anything related to men.

He then contacted her and told her that her family wanted to give her to Shen Zixian's father as a lover. It was Shen Zixian's good offices that saved her, and he even warned her family not to give her away as an item.

In this case, Shen Zixian did show his charismatic side.

It was normal for Teng Qingshan to be thinking in his heart.

Sure enough, her expression instantly turned unnatural. Her face also turned red as she stammered, "I …"

Seeing her like this, there was nothing I didn't understand.
