Chapter 78 Zhou Zhou Becomes a Little Adult

*

It was the hottest summer day, and the summer heat carried the young people's fiery dreams. "Light Chasers" was playing over the campus, filled with the green and gorgeous prologue of youth.

In Class 2 (3) of Senior High School, Xu Yucheng's group was in charge of cleaning the classroom, while the remaining people in the classroom were laughing.

She was just about to pick up the bucket to get water when suddenly a boy with a broom rushed over to her.

The boy snatched the bucket from him and scratched his head embarrassedly, "Class monitor, let me help you."

Xu Yucheng raised her head and went to meet him, smiling politely, "No need, I can do it."

I heard a burst of laughter, and the person leaning against the window joked, "Haizi, come on and confess your feelings. How long have you liked the monitor?"

The boys who were called Haizi were not annoyed. One of the older boys even blushed when he looked at the class monitor, and he stammered for a long time without saying a word.

This is what it’s like to like someone in your youth. You are green and ignorant. Just one look from the person you like will make you happy for a long time.

"I, I have liked you for a year and a half, since you went on stage to read your self-criticism in the first year of high school." The boy finally mustered up the courage to say it, and his face turned even redder when he looked at the person in front of him.

Zheng Yu joined in the fun with a blackboard eraser in his hand, smiling slyly.

Xu Yucheng was surprised that he had liked her for so long, but she didn't feel disgusted. No one could control liking someone, just like her. She had liked Zhou Zhou since she was a child and had always been steadfast.

She smiled at the boy and refused, "Thank you for your love, but I already have a boyfriend. He only has eyes for me, and I like him very much. I hope that in the near future you will also meet a girl who only has eyes for you."

When the boy heard the first sentence, a look of disappointment flashed in his eyes. He was stunned for a few seconds and then was pulled away by his friend.

After taking two steps, he stopped and looked directly at the girl in front of him. He said in a serious tone, "Then squad leader, you have to be good to your boyfriend."

Xu Yucheng was stunned for a moment, then she reacted and said with a smile, "Thank you."

In an instant, she and Zheng Yu were the only ones left in the class.

Zheng Yu leaned against the table and couldn't help but applaud, praising the boy, "Chengzi, I didn't expect there would be a boy like him in our class. Even after being rejected, I still wish you and your boyfriend all the best."

Xu Yucheng looked at her at this moment, the corners of her mouth curved, and said, "Dayu, don't you have any plans to fall in love?"

"Me." Zheng Yu pointed at himself and shook his head. "Forget it, no one likes me."

"How could that be?" In her opinion, Wu Shuo was a good choice.

Zheng Yu remembered something and asked, "By the way, your Zhou Zhou is not in school now. Are you going back alone later?"

Xu Yucheng, "A driver is here to pick me up."

Zhou Yichen didn't come to class last week. The college entrance examination is about to begin, and he was admitted to Huaihai University in advance. He is now familiarizing himself with the business in his own company.

"Okay then, I'll go wipe the blackboard and we'll be leaving."

Zheng Yu was on the podium, jumping up clumsily to reach the words on the platform, adjusting his glasses with every jump.

Xu Yucheng was about to go over to help when she caught a glimpse of the person at the door. She smiled at the podium and said, "Then I'll go get some water."

"Go ahead."

Zheng Yu jumped up hard to wipe the blackboard. Her bangs had grown longer recently and blocked her vision. She stood still and prepared to gather strength to jump up.

As a result, the man jumped up and the eraser in his hand disappeared.

She turned her head in confusion, and a dark figure completely blocked her view. Why was he standing so close to her? She reached out her hand to push him away, until she heard a voice above her head.

"Shorty."

He knew who it was after hearing the voice. Zheng Yu did not move again, but just kept saying, "You are so great."

"Being taller than you is something special."

This sentence left her speechless, but it was the fact and she was powerless to refute it.

Soon, a large blackboard was wiped clean and the writing on the top disappeared.

Zheng Yu looked at the man squatting on the ground brushing off the dust and said, "Why are you here?"

"You also said, how long have I been waiting for you? My mom asked me to wait for you after school."

Yes, that's right. Zheng Yu started living in his house again this semester. She even started to wonder if her parents didn't love her anymore.

After Xu Yucheng returned the bucket to the classroom, no one was there. She took her schoolbag, closed the door, and walked towards the school gate.

Uncle Li was still waiting at the old place. After she got in the car, she suddenly changed her mind when she was about to say she wanted to go home, "Uncle Li, let's go to the company."

"Okay." The car turned around.

Today is Friday and we get off work early. Zhou Zhou must be so busy at this time that he hasn’t had lunch yet.

When passing by the roadside, Xu Yucheng saw the flower shop on the side of the street.

Suddenly blurted out, "Uncle Li, please find a place to stop first."

The car stopped steadily by the roadside, and she got out and walked straight to the flower shop.

There are many roses placed at the door, which are gorgeous and eye-catching, and very attractive to guests.

Xu Yucheng walked into the store and said to the boss who was pruning the branches of the flowers, "Please help me make a bouquet of flowers."

Looking at the dazzling flowers in the store, she looked at the quietest lisianthus in the corner and pointed, "I want it."

While waiting for the boss to pack the flowers, she walked towards the pile of gentian flowers, which came in several colors.

Xu Yucheng chose white.

The flower language of white lisianthus is: I am wary of this world, but in front of you, I am willing to let go of all my defenses and embrace you. Eternal love is my sincerity in liking you.

After paying, he walked out holding the big bouquet of flowers.

When she arrived at the company gate, Xu Yucheng walked in with flowers in her hands.

She had come to the company twice before, both times during holidays when no one was there. Today was a working day and the entire company was operating in an orderly manner.

Instead of going directly to the elevator, she came to the front desk with flowers in her arms.

The front desk staff was very friendly and polite. "Hello, who are you looking for?"

"Zhou Yichen."

The receptionist was visibly taken aback for a moment when she heard the name, but with her professionalism, she still smiled and said, "Sorry, Mr. Zhou is in a meeting right now."

The rejection was obvious. Xu Yucheng understood what she meant and did not continue asking. Instead, she turned and walked to the living room on the other side. She sat down and prepared to take out her mobile phone to send a message to Zhou Zhou. However, as soon as she unlocked the phone, the screen went black.

No power???

She sighed and decided to wait here.

On the other side, the receptionist who was discussing something with Xu Yucheng pointed at the girl on the sofa opposite and said to the people around her, "Hey, just when you went to the bathroom, a girl came in with flowers and said she wanted to see Mr. Zhou. I turned her down, and now she's sitting over there."

Next to her was a woman of about the same age. She looked in the direction of her finger and frowned. "She's still wearing a school uniform, so she looks like a student. Has our Master Zhou's reputation spread to the school?"

The two of them asked and answered each other.

"I heard that our Master Zhou is still a student. Because his grades are so good, he didn't even need to go to college. His family happened to have a mine, so he came here to inherit the family business. Do you think that girl is from the same school as Master Zhou and came to the company to pursue him?"

"You do have a point. After all, Mr. Zhou is indeed so capable at such a young age. He has solved problems for the company before. The key is that he has a really handsome face. If I were ten years younger, I would definitely pursue him too."

"Hahahahaha, I want to too."

The two of them kept talking to each other.

Xu Yucheng was feeling a little bored sitting alone, and was thinking about going to the front desk to see if she could make a phone call or something. As soon as she stood up, she heard a familiar voice.

"Orange."

After Zhou Yichen got out of the elevator, he casually glanced over here and saw the little girl who should have been at home sitting on the sofa in the company.

"Zhou Zhou!" She smiled as soon as she saw him.

At this time, he was also jogging towards him.

"Why are you here?" Looking at the person in front of him, his voice became softer.

"Of course I came to see if Zhou Zhou, the busy man, had eaten his meal."

Zhou Yichen's heart softened, and the corners of his lips curved up, "Why don't you go up now that you're here?"

Xu Yucheng explained, "My phone was out of battery and I couldn't contact you, so I thought I'd just wait here."

He extended his hand forward and said, "Let's go. I'll take you upstairs first and then have dinner with you tonight."

"Wait!" Looking at the little girl running back, there was an unmeltable tenderness in his eyes.

Xu Yucheng picked up the bouquet of flowers on the table, smiled, and walked towards where he was step by step.

The moment Zhou Yichen saw the little girl holding the flowers, his heart was hit hard and he just stood there in a daze, with the longing in his eyes piling up to the point of overflowing.

A sweet and soft voice in his ear woke him up from his thoughts.

"Zhou Zhou, this is for you."

Xu Yucheng held the flowers in both hands and looked up at him with a smile.

His voice was a little hoarse. "Thank you, Chengcheng."

"Come on, let's go up."

Zhou Yichen took the flowers and bent down towards her.

Xu Yucheng thought he wanted a hug, so she glanced at the people in the company, fortunately there weren't many, and stretched out her arms to hug the back of his neck.

The next second, she was lifted into the air, and she was so scared that she hugged her arms tightly.

Zhou Yichen held the flowers in one hand and put the other hand through her legs, holding her firmly and walking towards the elevator.

"Hold me tight, Orange."

At this moment, several staff members on the first floor opened their mouths so wide that they could swallow an egg, and they were stunned to the point of standing there in shock.

They all gave a thumbs up, saying that Master Zhou is so manly!

The two staff members at the front desk, in particular, couldn't help but feel panicked.

Because the company has regulations that when outsiders are waiting in the reception room, they have to pour water for them and ask for their requests. If they come to look for someone, the front desk must call to inform them.

Obviously, the front desk staff did not do any of this. When they saw that it was a student, they did not take it seriously at all.

Zhou Yichen carried the person all the way to the elevator.

On the way past the office, Xu Yucheng heard a lot of sighs and groans, and she buried her head in the arms of the person in front of her out of embarrassment.

Before entering the office, Zhou Yichen glanced at the assistant at the door and said calmly, "The front desk staff needs training."

After entering the office, Xu Yucheng was placed on the sofa. She looked at the person in front of her with a smile.

He touched her head and said softly, "What are you laughing at, Chengcheng?"

She curled her lips and shook her head, but she was thinking in her heart: Zhou Zhou is so nice. She was afraid that he would blurt out the word "fire me".

Xu Yucheng sat on the sofa, resting her chin on her hands, looking at the man in formal attire sitting at the desk. Before she knew it, Zhou Zhou had become a little adult.
