Chapter 48

Even if she pretends not to care on the surface, or even deliberately acts arrogant, she can't avoid it or escape - she cares about him.

Xu Zhi felt that she should keep a distance from him, lest one day she could no longer control herself and reveal her true colors.

Then she is too unprincipled.

It was obvious that he had made it clear at that time and desperately wanted to escape.

What does it mean to be so unprincipled now?

What's more, he now has such a tense relationship with the Ji family.

She enjoyed the meal very happily at first, but then it became a bit boring.

But not wanting to live up to his good intentions, I still ate a lot.

Fei Nanzhou looked at her a few more times and saw it, and said warmly: "If you don't want to eat it, don't eat it."

Xu Zhi felt that she was quite worthless, so he said a few words to her gently and she was completely smitten. I wish I could spread my wings and fly into his arms to rub, rub, and rub.

She felt that she was truly hopeless.

This depressed mood enveloped her, and she lowered her head and silently ate the soup from the bowl.

Fei Nanzhou glanced at her, opening and closing his mouth, taking small mouthfuls. When his hair fell down, he lifted it with his soft hands and pushed it behind his ears, revealing the white jade-like earlobes hidden under the hair.

She didn't know how attractive she looked.

I have always known her beauty, but after two years, she seems to have become even more attractive. She was once a flower in bud, but now it is truly in full bloom.

During this period, he also heard a lot about her and the rumors about her and Lu Jingchen.

As if aware of his intense gaze, Xu Zhi raised his head uneasily, and after hesitation, he gave a questioning look.

Fei Nanzhou looked away calmly and ignored her. He held the wine glass in his hand and took a slow sip.

Xu Zhi wrinkled her nose and secretly whispered in her heart: What kind of plot is this?

Fei Nanzhou gently raised his eyelids and glanced at her.

Xu Zhi was startled, as if his small movements were caught by him, and his expression immediately calmed down.

Fei Nanzhou didn't find fault with her, he only glanced at her and looked away.

Xu Zhi felt relieved at that time and felt that he had escaped.

Unexpectedly, when they walked to the corridor, he suddenly grabbed her wrist and pushed her against the wall.

Xu Zhi was trapped between his tall body and the wall, and her heart was in a state of chaos.

She broke out in a thin sweat nervously. At that moment, she seemed to be stuck in a quagmire and unable to break free.

It was obvious that she could push him away just by stretching out her hand.

I don’t know how long it had passed, but I heard his dull laugh, which seemed to contain a bit of sarcasm and teasing, and asked her: "Why are you so nervous?" "

How could I be nervous?" Not to be outdone, she widened her eyes desperately. Looking at him, trying to hide her nervousness.

"You're really not nervous?" He looked her up and down, with a deeper smile in his eyes.

But just like that, it locked onto her like a searchlight.

Xu Zhi knew that she should answer "Of course" immediately at this moment, but her mouth seemed to be stuck with glue and she couldn't open it.

She was not good at lying. She knew this early on, so she couldn't open her mouth.

After just a moment's hesitation, the smile in Fei Nanzhou's eyes almost overflowed.

He laughed again, his soft and bewitching laughter echoing in her ears, each sound seeming to drill into her heart.

Xu Zhi still retained the remaining sanity: "Don't be here..."

As soon as he said it, he felt as if something was broken.

These words are too ambiguous. It doesn't sound like a rejection, but like a refusal in return of a welcome.

It was clear that she didn't want to say this, what she wanted to say was don't do this.

But it was too late to take it back at this moment, and it looked like it was being concealed.

Sure enough, she saw Fei Nanzhou twitching the corner of his lower lip, twisting her lips, and asking seriously: "Where are we going?"

Xu Zhi was going crazy: "Be more serious!"

She just wanted to go back now.

Fortunately, someone came over, and Fei Nanzhou mercifully let her go.

Xu Zhi, who was amnesty, stood a few steps away from him.

Unexpectedly, the visitor was the Director Zheng whom he had met before. He greeted them with a smile and looked around them with a somewhat searching gaze before taking back.

Although he didn't say anything, Xu Zhi still felt like he was being roasted on the fire.

Seeing Director Zheng walking away, Xu Zhi's heart dropped.

Turning around, she met his teasing eyes. Xu Zhi felt her face burning again and turned her head away from him.

He actually didn't continue teasing her, and just said calmly: "Let's go."

But if you listened carefully, there was some kind of coaxing in it.

Xu Zhi subconsciously obeyed his words, followed him slowly, and walked out with him.

When Xu Zhi returned to his residence that day, his heart still couldn't calm down.

What is this?

She tossed and turned on the bed, but her cell phone rang at this moment.

She glanced at it and saw that it was from Fei Nanzhou.

Xu Zhi ignored him and put the quilt over his head to sleep.

But the phone was still ringing, and she planned to turn it off, but then she thought about it and was afraid that he would come directly to her, so she had to answer the call: "What are you doing?! It's so late at night!"

The voice was filled with anger.

Fei Nanzhou's voice sounded the same as usual: "I want to talk to you."

"I'm going to sleep! Mr. Fei, don't you think it's boring for you to be like this?"

"No, I think it's quite interesting. ." He still smiled that way.

It seems that no matter how angry or angry she is, he will always tolerate her.

This kind of determination was beyond Xu Zhi's reach. After realizing that she could only collapse on her own and he would not be affected at all, she forced herself to calm down and planned to discuss it with him: "What do you want?"

" I said, I want to talk to you." He always seemed to have a calm and solemn look and a good-natured discussion tone.

But put in this situation, it smells a bit aggressive.

The calmer he is, the more confident he is.

"Don't be such a bully!"

"Even if I bully you, so what?" His tone seemed to be saying, "What can you do?" It sounds very peaceful and seems very pleasant.

Xu Zhi was speechless because he actually said such words.

After gritting her teeth for a long time, she lowered her voice and said, "Be careful, I'll report you!"

"Report me for what?" He was really leisurely and really wanted to tease her.

"Report you for sexual harassment!" Xu Zhi said angrily.

Fei Nanzhou smiled a few times, held a cigarette to the side of his head, and lit it: "Then go and report it."

Xu Zhi was completely defeated and could not scare him at all.

"I'm going to bed!" she deflated.

"Go to sleep." Fei Nanzhou didn't know what he thought of. He was silent for a while, and then said very softly, "I just want to hear your voice." At

that moment, Xu Zhi was completely speechless. .

A very soft sob came from the phone.

Instead, he panicked: "Tell me, you didn't even cry when I said that just now. Why are you crying now?"

"It's all because of you! I don't want to cry either! Isn't the lacrimal gland well developed?!" She cried back. He questioned him angrily.

Fei Nanzhou smiled helplessly: "It's not mine, okay? I apologize to you, okay?"

"What's the use of apologizing? I'm already sad now."

"Then I'll tell you a story?" he I used to coax her like this.

Xu Zhi didn't say a word. He took it as acquiescence and slowly told her the story of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.

Xu Zhi didn't speak at all at first. He only spoke when he was about to finish speaking, saying that the soil is dead. How old are you still telling such stories? I didn't expect that your experience has increased but your knowledge has not increased.

"It's my fault. I've been so busy these past two years that I've lost the ability to tell stories to Zhizhi." He said in a doting tone.

Xu Zhi couldn't bear it anymore and would rather he scolded her.

This kind of persuasive and patient gentleness is a trap for her, a web that binds her from which she cannot break free.

She was like a moth whose wings were entangled in spider silk. She was unable to struggle and could only be passively pulled into the silk hole.

"I hate you so much!" Xu Zhi accused.

Why do you still appear in front of her? Why do you still want to tease her?

Don't you know how much courage she must have to leave him?

During the time she was away from him, every minute and every second was torture. After two years, she finally got out of it and treasured that memory deep in her heart. He refused to let her go and wanted her to remember that past.

Her heart felt unspeakably uncomfortable, and she cut off the phone as if running away.

That night, Xu Zhi's eyes were as swollen as peaches from crying.

During the week she stayed in Beijing, she didn't talk to him much and even deliberately avoided him.

Fortunately, the torturous days were finally over, and she returned to Nanjing before the end of the month.

After winter, the weather becomes increasingly cold.

Lu Jingchen came to see her twice. At first they talked about trivial matters, but then he once brought up her thoughts about marriage, seemingly unintentionally.

At that time, Xu Zhi was sitting in front of the dressing mirror, picking off her earrings. Hearing this, she glanced at him strangely and raised her eyebrows, as if she didn't expect that he would ask such gossipy questions that women care about.

Her expression made him speechless. He took off his leather gloves, held them in his hands, and sat down aside: "Why, can't I ask?"

This time he looked at her with piercing eyes, as if he was serious.

This man had maintained a mask of arrogance and grace before, but now he revealed his true purpose.

But Xu Zhi felt that this strong and direct attitude was more like a disguise to hide his true inner purpose.

She felt that he was actually a little nervous at the moment.

Because he looked at himself momentarily. He was usually very relaxed and would not be like this.

She smiled slyly like a little fox and didn't answer. Instead, she turned back and continued to trace her eyebrows in the mirror: "Guess."

Lu Jingchen's guard was broken by her light words.

He laughed angrily and shook his head helplessly, as if he was laughing at himself, as if there was nothing he could do to her.

"Wouldn't it be better to marry me? In fact, we are quite suitable."

"Your view of marriage is 'suitability'?"

"Suitability can last forever, love is too unrealistic." He crossed his knees slightly and turned to look Towards the bay window.

Xu Zhi looked back at him in surprise, wondering how he could say such a thing.

He seems pessimistic about love.

"You don't believe in love?"

He shook his head and answered her without even looking back: "I just don't believe in human nature."

At that moment, he didn't know where he was looking. He said slowly, "It's natural to like the new and hate the old. Love This kind of ethereal thing is too unreliable."

Xu Zhi stared at him, trying to see something else through his calm and cold mask, but she was disappointed.

"You want me to marry you?" It was not like she had never thought about it at this moment.

If you must find someone to marry, Lu Jingchen seems to be a good choice.

He is open-minded and mature, and he is not so obsessed with love.

Her answer to him that day was "Let me think about it."

But since then, Lu Jingchen has visited her much more frequently, and seems to be really working hard for this beneficial marriage.

Xu Zhi was a little wavering. Marrying Lu Jingchen seems to be a good choice.

At the very least, you can let go of the past once and for all.

Not long after, she drank too much at a food stall with her friends and he came to pick her up.

Xu Zhi pushed him away unsteadily and said that he didn't need to worry about it. Why did she come to him after everything was over?

He was slightly stunned at first, then stopped and stared at her for a while, and was no longer in a hurry to take her back. Instead, he sat down opposite her and opened a can of beer for himself. After taking a sip, he calmly lowered his head, twirled the bottle, and asked her, "Do you still like Fei Nanzhou?"

Xu Zhi almost jumped up when he saw him raise his head.

He gave her a "don't blame me" smile, with the corners of his lips pursed slightly, a bit ruffian, which was different from his usual upright and serious look.

Xu Zhi sobered up a bit and calmed down. She sat down opposite him and said angrily: "Tell me, how do you know?"

"I've heard of it."

Xu Zhi stopped holding the beer can. He couldn't drink the wine anymore and covered his head in frustration: "Good things don't go out and bad things spread thousands of miles. Have you even heard about what I did in Beijing in Nanjing?"

He suppressed a smile and seemed to think she was particularly cute like this: " No, I know Fei Nanzhou and I happen to be related to their circle."

"Your explanation is the same as no explanation." She is "notorious" anyway.

He didn't let her feel upset for too long. He opened a can of beer with one hand, clasped it and touched the can in her little hand: "There is no grass anywhere in the world, and I am not bad either.

" she said disgustedly.

Instead of getting angry, he laughed loudly.

"Let's go, I'll see you off." He didn't let her drink more. He directly took the beer can in her hand and held her up.

"Hey, hey, hey, I'm not your soldier." Xu Zhi yelled.

Her phone rang at this moment.

Without looking at it, he directly answered: "Hello -"

Before anyone could say anything, Lu Jingchen ordered the driver to bring the car over.

It was really quiet there for a while.

Then, a low and peaceful voice sounded again: "You haven't gone home so late?"

There was familiarity in the calmness.

Xu Zhi was stunned, her face turned red with embarrassment for some reason, and she subconsciously pushed away the people around her.

Lu Jingchen also raised his eyebrows and looked at her phone.

The phone has not been hung up yet, and there is no intention to hang up.

Xu Zhi understood Fei Nanzhou's character and knew that this was the calm before the storm, so he was immediately frightened: "I'll go home right away."

"Send me the address." His tone was decisive and unquestionable.

"Ah?" "

Address."

Xu Zhi had no choice but to give the address.

He said: "Don't move where you are, I'll pick you up."

Then the leader, who was always very calm outside, hung up the phone unceremoniously and left Lu Jingchen there in disguise.

Xu Zhi didn't know if he really broke through the defense or if he did it on purpose.

Maybe - he did it on purpose.

This is too embarrassing.

Xu Zhi turned back to look at Lu Jingchen and considered: "How about you go back first?"

Unexpectedly, he smiled and said, "No, I have some friendship with him. It's not too late to say hello and then leave." "Besides, I don't want to leave you alone in the middle of the night."

"Do you know him?" Xu Zhi felt numb.

"I'm not familiar with her, I just have some friendship." Lu Jingchen said with a smile, as if he thought her expression at this moment was particularly funny.
