Chapter 112: Each Takes What He Needs

The carpet in the corridor was soft and absorbed the sound of their footsteps.

The dim wall lamp cast a warm glow above their heads, stretching the shadows of the two people very long.

Zhou Yunjie secretly glanced at Shen Zhiyu's profile. His stiff jawline was slightly relaxed, not as tight as usual. The corners of his lips were slightly raised, adding a touch of gentleness and laziness.

He put one hand in his suit trouser pocket and the other hand was elegantly placed behind his back, gently holding the jewelry box that Rong Anning gave her in his palm.

The box was actually quite large, but in his palm, it felt like a small toy, spinning around in his fingertips.

"Do you want to go and find some suitable clothes to change into?"

Hearing the question, Zhou Yunjie quickly looked away, "No need."

Shen Zhiyu nodded and opened the bedroom door.

As soon as the door closed, Shen Zhiyu went straight to the cloakroom, leaving Zhou Yunjie standing uncomfortably at the door, not knowing what to do.

The phone in her hand rang, successfully diverting some of her tension.

She clicked on the screen and took a look. It was Lin Xiaotang who sent her a WeChat message asking her why she had been quiet recently and how she planned to solve the problems at home.

Zhou Yunjie typed out the message as briefly as possible and sent it over, and the other party replied quickly.

Lin Xiaotang: [Do you need money? I still have some savings, but Aunt Wen's medical treatment is the most important thing.]

Zhou Yunjie: [I have the money, don't worry, just focus on preparing for the exam.]

Lin Xiaotang is about to take an exam, and Zhou Yunjie doesn't want her to be distracted by his own affairs.

Because of the previous incident involving Cheng Hongwei, she had already delayed Lin Xiaotang's time to prepare for the civil service exam, and she couldn't bother her anymore with family matters.

Lin Xiaotang gave her a few more instructions before not replying.

Zhou Yunjie turned off the phone screen and sighed softly.

"So sad? Ex-boyfriend?"

The sudden question startled Zhou Yunjie. She touched her chest and glanced at Shen Zhiyu in reproach, "Why are you walking so quietly?"

"You're just too focused."

Shen Zhiyu glanced at her and walked to the balcony. "Come and sit down?"

Zhou Yunjie thought for a moment and nodded.

It just so happened that she had some household matters to ask him about.

There were two lounge chairs on the balcony. Just as Zhou Yunjie was about to sit down, he was stopped by Shen Zhiyu. Then he saw him take two blankets from the cloakroom and throw them on the lounge chairs, "Spread them out before sitting down. It's a bit cold."

Zhou Yunjie did as he was told.

As soon as the blanket was spread out, it felt really warm. She sighed comfortably, wrapped herself in another blanket, and leaned back in the chair.

Shen Zhiyu glanced at her and sat on the other side.

There was a crisp sound of a lighter.

Zhou Yunjie glanced sideways and saw the man next to him biting a cigarette and flicking his knuckles lightly, sending sparks flying.

He took a deep breath and slowly exhaled the smoke. The white mist slowly dissipated in the night, blurring his expression.

"I rarely see you smoking." Zhou Yunjie said in a low voice.

Shen Zhiyu seemed to chuckle, his slow voice particularly clear in the night, "You speak as if you are with me every day..."

Zhou Yunjie was speechless.

"Was that your ex-boyfriend just now?" Shen Zhiyu flicked the ash from his cigarette, his dark eyes falling on Zhou Yunjie's profile.

"no."

Zhou Yunjie reached out to catch the raindrops that drifted into the balcony, then turned his head to look at Shen Zhiyu, "Does it matter who it is?"

Shen Zhiyu heard the temptation in her words and curled his lips, "No matter who it is... we can only wait until the agreement expires before there can be any further progress. Isn't it?"

The slightest hesitation in Zhou Yunjie's heart just emerged, and then slowly subsided.

Such a man.

If you fall in love, you will be the only one who suffers.

It's good that everyone gets what they need.
