Chapter 51 chapter 51 Hanging on you.
Chapter 51 chapter 51 I'm thinking about you.
It turned out that only a short while had passed, and Mr. Zhuang had just landed in Hong Kong Island, but it seemed that a lot of things had happened.
She typed in the input box, edited what she wanted to say, deleted it line by line, and finally replied "OK".
Zhuang Youkai on the other side of the screen fell into thought.
What does this "OK" mean? Is it inconvenient to say more, or is she in a bad mood? It is difficult to guess what the little girl is thinking when she is in front of you, let alone guess it based on just one word.
He thought about it, dialed Zhao Manzhi's number, and was quickly connected.
It seems that it is not inconvenient.
"Hello?" She lowered her voice, like a thief, "I saw your message."
"I know." Zhuang Youkai tried to distinguish her tone, but there was noise in the airport, and he couldn't hear it clearly, "Is the master next to you? Have you eaten?"
He rarely said such greetings, so it sounded a little funny. Zhao Manzhi wanted to laugh, but for some reason, she felt a little sad while laughing. "I'm in the bedroom. I've eaten a long time ago."
"What's wrong? I seem to have cried." She said it with a nasal voice.
"Nothing, I had a little conflict with my mother."
Because it was related to him, Zhao Manzhi didn't want to say more. Dealing with emotional problems was not Zhuang Youkai's strong point, so he pursed his lips and didn't know how to comfort him.
At the VIP exit of the business jet, the antique silver-top Maybach slowly stopped, and Lu Qianning opened the door for him.
Zhao Manzhi heard Uncle Ning on the other end of the phone say that time was running out and he couldn't be late for the board meeting.
She knew that Zhuang Youkai was very busy every day, and the time he spent with her was like water squeezed out of a sponge, no matter how much more he could spend, it wouldn't be much.
For example, today, it was already at its limit.
"Do you still have work?" Zhao Manzhi didn't want to be a burden to others, so she also urged, "I'm really fine."
He suddenly interrupted, "I miss you."
He said it so tenderly that she suspected she had heard it wrong: "... huh?"
Zhuang Youkai put the phone close to his lips and repeated it again, "I miss you, didn't you learn Cantonese class? You don't even know this."
"How is it possible..." It was obviously winter, but the air seemed to be ignited by this sentence, making it hard to breathe. Zhao Manzhi's heart was beating fast, and she imitated his tone and said, "I miss you so much."
He laughed softly, "See you soon."
Soon? How soon? He couldn't just return to Hong Kong Island and come to see her the next day, right?
Zhao Manzhi felt ashamed of the absurd idea in her mind.
The next day, Ding Qingzi went to the company early in the morning. When Zhao Manzhi got up, Zhao Zhiwu was practicing Ba Duan Jin.
"Aren't you busy today?" She greeted her father.
Zhao Zhiwu nodded, "There is a meeting at 10:30, and the consultation will be in the afternoon. Yesterday's operation took too long, so I will go later."
She sat down at the table to eat breakfast, but she was absent-minded and everything she ate tasted like chewing wax.
Zhao Zhiwu looked back and saw her chewing a piece of bread for twenty or thirty times. He smiled and said, "Did you have a bad chat with your mother yesterday?"
"Oh, you know, she gets angry when she says a few words."
"She didn't sleep all night yesterday and stayed up all night, so she went to the company early."
Parents love their children and plan for them in the long run. Zhao Manzhi certainly knew that his mother was doing it for his own good, but she didn't like her way of communicating. Hearing that Ms. Ding was tossing and turning for this, she felt a little guilty, "Did she tell you anything?"
"You little secrets, if you don't want to tell me, then don't tell me." Zhao Zhiwu wiped the sweat off his face and counseled her, "She has not suffered or been bullied for so many years. You are against her, so you can't help but think too much. Buy something to coax her and talk it out. How can mother and daughter hold grudges overnight, right?"
It was Old Zhao who had been supporting each other for more than 20 years and was most familiar with Ding Qingzi's temper.
Zhao Manzhi felt that what he said made sense, so she went out to the mall in the afternoon to see if there was anything she could give to Ms. Ding.
She was standing at the cosmetics counter trying perfumes when she suddenly heard someone calling her name. She turned around and saw that it was her high school classmate Yu Hansong.
"You looked a bit like me from a distance, but I didn't expect it was really you." Yu Hansong trotted over, "Are you on vacation?"
Zhao Manzhi nodded.
In fact, she didn't recognize Yu Hansong just now. In her impression, he didn't have much presence. He stayed in Hangzhou to study after the college entrance examination. He was a person who was hardworking and excellent but really unmemorable.
But now, he has completely changed. He is handsome and elegant
. And Yu Hansong had a feeling in his heart: Zhao Manzhi is getting more and more beautiful. She
was so beautiful in high school, and now her appearance and temperament have reached a new level. If it weren't for the relationship of high school classmates, he wouldn't dare to talk to a girl of this level.
"Your vacation time is different from that in the mainland. You always miss the activities arranged by classmates." He scratched his head a little awkwardly, "How long will you stay at home this time?"
"A little half a month."
As she said that, the salesgirl brought the perfume test card over and asked her to compare it. Zhao Manzhi just wanted to end the topic with this, so she smiled awkwardly.
Yu Hansong understood immediately, "You do your thing."
But he didn't leave, just watched her from the side. Zhao Manzhi felt too stressed by being stared at, so she hurriedly picked a perfume and prepared to leave.
But when it came time to check out, he wanted to rush to pay the bill.
The salesgirl misunderstood their relationship and said with a smile, "Your boyfriend is so generous, let him pay. It's a little thought after all."
Zhao Manzhi corrected, "He's not your boyfriend."
Yu Hansong also added, "Yes, he's not."
But his ears turned red.
This misunderstanding made the two of them even more awkward. After paying the bill, Zhao Manzhi wanted to go back, but she didn't know how to start. After finally mustering up the courage, their voices collided again.
"I plan to go back."
"Can I buy you a cup of coffee?"
Yu Hansong was embarrassed and pushed his glasses, "Sorry, let's make an appointment another day. I remember we have WeChat, right?"
She shook her head, "I don't know, it seems not."
"Then... add one?"
Zhao Manzhi thought for a moment, then took out her mobile phone and showed him the QR code.
While taking an online taxi, she received a friend request, clicked to accept, and then took a look at the circle of friends.
Just by looking at the photos, one can guess that the other party had a colorful college life.
But Zhao Manzhi was not very interested, and she quickly glanced at it and locked the phone screen.
She thought this matter was just a small episode, but unexpectedly in the evening, Yu Hansong sent her a message saying that there would be a fireworks show on Binjiang on New Year's Eve, and asked her if she wanted to go.
Zhao Manzhi refused, but the other party still didn't give up and mentioned that many classmates would go too.
She mentioned this to Chen Hang, and Chen Hang seemed to be expecting it: "He seemed to like you in high school."
Zhao Manzhi slowly typed a question mark.
"He doesn't have much presence, so of course you don't remember him. But then again, you missed the class reunion during the holidays the past two years, and some girls said that Yu Hansong was their ideal type."
"...Is that so."
It's not surprising to be liked by others. Zhao Manzhi has never lacked suitors since she was a child. The topic didn't stay on Yu Hansong for too long, and they talked about Zhuang Youkai. After all, this is what Chen Hang cares about most.
After listening to Zhao Manzhi's story, Chen Hang got goose bumps all over his body, "I've had enough. You are so clingy when you are in love? You are not like the Zhao Manzhi I know at all."
"I didn't expect it to be like this."
But she just couldn't help thinking about him, what he was doing, the weather in Hong Kong Island, and wanted to quickly turn the clock forward to the time when they met.
She knew that Zhuang Youkai was busy, so she wouldn't send him meaningless messages. After all, there would be a long interval between his replies, and they wouldn't chat for a few sentences a day.
Zhao Manzhi decided to defend her love-brained behavior, "But I am trying to find a way to relieve myself and find something to do."
For example, today, she went for a night run along the riverside, and learned to cook from Zhao Zhiwu. She gave the gift with sweet words, and only then did Ding Qingzi get a little good face.
Chen Hang was very calm, "If you don't get too excited during the passionate love period, then when are you waiting?"
"You can always find excuses for me to do anything."
"That's right, we are good sisters."
Before, Chen Hang had a crush on senior Qiu Huai, and Zhao Manzhi had also shielded her from the knife. But because of the consequences, she couldn't even mention his name now.
As she said that, she thought of the disagreement between her and her mother, "But Ms. Ding seems to have some opinions."
"Have you told your aunt?"
Zhao Manzhi thought for a while, "No, she warned me to keep my distance from my boss."
In fact, the fact is that she seemed to have let it slip in an impulse.
But she didn't admit it afterwards, and Ding Qingzi didn't mention it again, so they tacitly pretended that this sentence had never been said.
At this moment, Chen Hang began to take the side of the right and not the right side. "Actually, it's reasonable for Auntie to worry. After all, if you know your boss is like this, everyone will think it's just a joke."
"Isn't it time for you to push me?"
Chen Hang sent a cute kitten expression, "Oh, isn't it seeing him pick you up in the snow? Who would be so romantic just for fun?"
He jumped back and forth.
"It doesn't matter. If we play with each other, it's not a loss." After all, Zhuang Youkai is not only superior in appearance, but also generous in spending money, and impeccable in that aspect. Thinking of this, Zhao Manzhi felt her face burning again, "I'm ready to withdraw at any time." "Aren't you afraid
that you won't find someone better in the future?"
"It's not the future yet, who can say for sure."
"Okay, you dare to love and hate, you are worthy of being our goddess Man."
After sending this sentence, Zhao Manzhi didn't reply for a while. Chen Hang waited for a while and put the phone aside to continue proofreading.
Seven or eight minutes later, a message came, from Zhao Manzhi.
Chen Hang clicked it.
"\(////)\Ahhhh, he's here to spend the New Year with me!!"
Withdraw at any time?
Dare to love and hate?
Chen Hang: I really believe your lies:)
*
It is of course very happy that Zhuang Youkai came to accompany her for the New Year, but now it becomes a problem to find an excuse to run away.
Zhao Manzhi did not expect that at the age of 21, there would be a sudden access control at home.
In the past, Chen Hang's family was very strict, and they had to leave early when they went out for milk tea and shopping on weekends. Zhao Manzhi was very sympathetic, after all, Ms. Ding and Mr. Zhao did not control her much, and she was free to come and go.
But now, the busy Ding Qingzi goes out late and comes back early every day, as if deliberately staring at her at home. If she goes out, she will call to ask for her location after 8 o'clock.
Weird, too weird.
Zhao Manzhi sat on the sofa watching TV, and Ding Qingzi worked next to her. The scene was exactly the same as the day of the quarrel.
Even the strawberries on the table were the same.
The melodramatic romance drama is playing a classic scene. The hero's mother coldly throws a bank card at the heroine, "Five million, leave my son."
The heroine is angry, "The feelings between us cannot be measured by money!"
Hearing this, Ding Qingzi diverted her attention from the order form and looked up, "Oh, are you rehearsing?"
It means that she will experience the same thing in the future.
Zhao Manzhi: "..."
How come she didn't realize that her own mother's mouth is as venomous as Zhuang Youkai.
Since the other party has spoken, Zhao Manzhi doesn't need to beat around the bush to talk to her, and she said straight to the point, "Mom, I'm going out to celebrate the New Year."
"Sure, who are you going with?"
"With..." Subconsciously, she wanted to say Chen Hang, but then she remembered that she said Chen Hang was still in school two days ago, and she couldn't contradict herself. Zhao Manzhi paused for a moment and thought of another person. "You don't know many classmates."
Ding Qingzi smiled and said, "Tell me, what if you know him?"
"Yu Hansong, do you know him?" She immediately improvised, "I happened to meet him when I went to the mall to buy something that day. He stayed in Hangzhou to study. He added WeChat and said that there would be a fireworks show in Binjiang Park on New Year's Eve. Many classmates wanted to go and asked me to go with them."
Ding Qingzi said, "I said, who can ask you out during your vacation time?"
It probably meant to agree.
Zhao Manzhi suddenly felt that Yu Hansong's appearance was a good thing. Such a classmate with little presence, let alone Ms. Ding, she herself had no impression of him, but if she wanted to verify it, what Zhao Manzhi said was true and not a lie.
If it really didn't work, she would go there and leave quickly that day, so there would be no risk of being exposed.
Zhao Manzhi had considered telling her mother the truth, but Ding Qingzi was used to being arbitrary and would not listen when she was angry. Zhuang Youkai's matter still needed to be considered for a long time.
I'm just sorry for classmate Yu. It's rare for us to meet again, and I have to be dragged here to block the knife.
In order to avoid Ding Qingzi's suspicion, Zhao Manzhi didn't dress up very formally on New Year's Eve.
She wore a simple white cashmere sweater and jeans, put on a black down jacket and a cold hat, and prepared to go out. She was in a good mood and hummed a song.
"Mom, I'm leaving."
"Don't play too late. If you need to pick me up, call me."
"Got it."
The door closed behind her. Ding Qingzi put down the work in her hands and walked to the window facing the outside on the second floor.
The townhouse they lived in was not in a particularly expensive area. The community was not big, and you could hear the hustle and bustle of cars.
In winter, everything withered, the bushes on both sides of the road withered, and the tracks of pedestrians became clearer. Ding Qingzi found her daughter's brisk steps without any effort.
She walked faster and faster, and even ran to an expensive car parked on the side of the road, and a young and tall man opened his arms to welcome her hug.
