Blurb: Zhou Ci is the grandson of Song Yu's family friend. That year, Song Yu pulled Zhou Ci back when he was contemplating suicide. From then on, Zhou Ci kept Song Yu in his heart. Song Yu bec...
Chapter 32: Zhou Ci admits that this world...
As luck would have it, on the flight back to China, Song Yu and Zhou Ci ran into the blonde internet celebrity again.
What’s more coincidental is that he was sitting in the back row behind Song Yu and recognized Song Yu at a glance.
Song Yu didn't recognize him at first. She just thought this foreign guy was quite exaggerated. He was wearing black clothes, black pants, black hat and black mask. He was almost armed to the teeth. He kept chasing her to say hello. He followed her wherever she went and was extremely enthusiastic.
Fortunately, Song Yu is not a celebrity, otherwise people would suspect that he is a stalker fan, or a crazy one at that.
When Zhou Ci saw him pestering Song Yu, his face turned black with anger. He kept standing in front of the man, preventing him from getting too close to Song Yu.
That day at the bar, the place was so hot and the atmosphere was so exciting that Song Yu usually wouldn't dare to have so much fun. When she was dancing closely with the handsome foreign guy who was performing, her eyes were so lingering that they were almost tearing. The handsome guy's chest muscles felt good to touch, and Song Yu had a lot of fun.
However, after returning to the hotel and taking a nap, Song Yu forgot about what happened in the bar last night. He didn't even mention it in front of Zhou Ci, let alone show any reminiscent look. It was even more impossible for him to leave his contact information with the handsome guy.
Song Yu was very clear-headed. It was okay to have some fun in an occasion where one paid for pleasure, but if one wanted to find true love there, then one was looking for abuse.
The young lady would rather be single than be with the wrong person. If she really wants to fall in love, it’s just a matter of shaking hands.
What's more, the handsome foreign guy wore a mask throughout the performance, with his entire face covered tightly, leaving only a pair of eyes exposed. Song Yu didn't see his face at all.
In addition, his attire and behavior today were completely different from the day when he excited the whole audience on the stage. The brim of his hat was pulled down so low that even his eyes could not be seen. It was normal that Song Yu did not recognize him.
It was not until he took off the hat on his head, revealing his short light golden hair and a pair of beautiful green eyes, and he flirted with Song Yu that Song Yu recognized him.
"Are you the one who danced... that night?" Song Yu was still a little hesitant. The stage lights were too dim that night, and she couldn't see clearly.
"It's me, it's me!" The handsome foreign guy spoke not very fluent Chinese. He took off the mask on his face, revealing a handsome face with great visual impact.
"You can speak Chinese?" Song Yu was a little surprised.
"My grandmother is from the Hua Dynasty, and I learned it from her." The handsome foreign guy's seat was in the front row in front of Song Yu. He turned around and spoke to Song Yu.
"Are you going to Huachao?" Song Yu asked, "to work?"
"Yes! I'm going to City B for a job. I need to confirm some details. My assistant has already gone there."
"What a coincidence!" Song Yu laughed, "I'm from City B."
"Great!" The handsome foreign guy was surprised. "Can I ask you out then?"
Song Yu nodded: "Of course it's no problem to have dinner together."
"Then let's add each other's contact information? My Chinese name is Han Jin, what's yours?"
"Song Yu." Before taking off, the two exchanged social media accounts.
Many stories begin with such casual encounters.
After returning to City B, Song Yu plunged into a new round of busyness. Every day he was either at school or at the company, and he would not go home before ten o'clock.
As the lights came on, Song Yu had just finished a lengthy six-hour meeting. The project she had led was successfully signed. This meeting was where the two companies were finalizing the details. As the project leader, Song Yu worked overtime throughout the process to catch up on the progress.
At the end, the other company's CEO proposed a dinner, which was greeted with cheers from the other company's employees.
The employees on the Song side were reserved and did not join in the fun, but their eyes were not simple. They looked at Song Yu eagerly, and they were almost saying "We also want to have a dinner together".
These people are all old employees of Song Corporation. The youngest ones have been there for more than three years. The fact that Song Yu was able to complete the work so beautifully for the first time he took the lead was inseparable from their active cooperation.
Everyone knew she was the eldest daughter of the Song family, the future successor to the Song corporation. If they established a good relationship now, they might be able to become her confidant in the future. The eldest daughter ate meat and they drank soup, each one trying their best to make a presence felt in front of her.
It was impossible for her to hide her secrets. Teaching her apprentice to starve her master to death was not something that would happen to the young lady. The project leader was not afraid that Song Yu would compete with him for resources and position, so he was eager to teach the young lady everything he knew.
Song Yu did need to cultivate her own confidants. After all, a qualified female boss not only needed capable subordinates, but also subordinates who would obey her orders unconditionally. During this period of adjustment, she did select a few seedlings to cultivate.
An excellent female boss must not only be capable but also thoughtful. How could she not know the importance of winning people's hearts? She immediately decided to have a dinner party with the employees of the cooperative company.
Of course the CEO of the partner company agreed, and dinner was decided in such a relaxed and happy atmosphere. To make things lively, they finally went to have a barbecue, and had a Wagyu beef meal that cost 600 yuan per person after the discount.
A self-aware female boss must also know when to advance and retreat, and know when she is annoying and it is time to retreat.
After finishing the barbecue, the employees were ready to go to KTV to sing a few more songs, and Song Yu had no objection.
She paid the bill at the front desk, ordered enough wine, fruit plates and snacks, sang the first song in the box, sat for twenty minutes, then made an excuse that she had something to do, took her bag and left.
As soon as she walked out of the KTV door, she received a call from Han Jin, asking her to watch a show tomorrow.
Song Yu was in a good mood at the time. After signing the contract, she had several days of rest. It would be nice to go to the show to relax her eyes, so she agreed.
When he got home, the room was quiet. Zhou Ci only turned on a floor lamp in the living room and leaned on the sofa to read a book.
Hearing the movement in the entrance hall, he looked up, the warm yellow light shining on his face. His expression was gentle, his eyes seemed to contain stars and the sea, and his jade-like face had a sense of peace and tranquility.
Song Yu just realized that he hadn't looked at him carefully for a while, and he looked handsome again.
Song Yu was a beauty herself, but she'd recently been constantly struck by Zhou Ci's beauty. The strong-looking type had an advantage. Zhou Ci now had broad shoulders and long legs, and his features were handsome yet youthful. Unknowingly, he'd grown into a handsome guy who could make girls scream.
"Sister, you're back?" Zhou Ci put down the book, stood up and walked towards Song Yu.
He had long legs and walked to Song Yu in just two or three steps. He naturally took the coat from Song Yu's wrist, smoothed it and hung it on the entrance cabinet. He then took the bag from her hand and helped her put it away. "Sister came back an hour and a half later today than yesterday."
Song Yu changed his shoes, rubbed his aching neck, and walked to the living room. "The contract has been signed, and the cooperative company said we would have a dinner party, so we went along. After dinner, we went to KTV and sat for a while before coming out."
Zhou Ci's eyes lit up: "Then sister can have a good rest these few days?"
"I'm planning to take a few days off." Song Yu sat down on the sofa. She leaned over to look at the book Zhou Ci had placed on the coffee table. He had almost finished it, and there were notes he had made between paragraphs. "Have you been researching this recently? Have you made any progress on the company?"
"I have some ideas, so I just took a look." Zhou Ci sat down next to Song Yu. "Sister, how are you going to plan your vacation these days?"
"I haven't decided yet, let's go to a show first! That Italian influencer asked me to go to a show tomorrow. Don't worry about my meals for the next two days, I'll probably eat out."
Zhou Ci's right hand tightened at his side, leaving a mark on the leather sofa. However, his tone was calm: "Can you trust someone you meet in that kind of setting? Don't let him fool you, sister..."
"Don't worry, it's just a show, and we're just getting to know each other." Song Yu smiled, "Besides, I'm not afraid that he'll cheat on me, so it's fine as long as he doesn't get tempted."
Zhou Ci's grip loosened slightly, and he stroked the wrinkled sofa leather. "How many days of vacation do you plan to take, sister?"
"Five days, plus Saturday and Sunday, that's exactly one week." Song Yu half-lay on the sofa, too lazy to move. "I need to have a good rest. I've been getting up early and going to bed late lately. I'm really tired. Even the best of my body can't withstand this."
Zhou Ci thought for a moment before speaking again: "Then I'll make some nutritious soup the day after tomorrow to nourish your body. Don't worry about anything, just sleep until you wake up naturally, then get up and drink the soup."
Song Yu turned over on the sofa and faced Zhou Ci: "You don't have classes the day after tomorrow?"
"No." Even if there was, he could skip it. Missing a class wouldn't be a big deal for him, but the opportunity to spend time with his sister was a rare one.
"Not busy?" Song Yu asked again.
"not busy!"
"Okay then! Thank you for your hard work..." Song Yu spoke softly. The sofa was too comfortable, especially since it was late at night and everyone was asleep. Song Yu was tired and sleepy. His eyelids became heavier and heavier, and he fell asleep accidentally.
Zhou Ci looked at Song Yu's sleeping face greedily, tracing her eyebrows, eyelashes, and nose tip with his eyes, and finally her plump and moist pink lips, her smooth jawline, and her slender and soft neck...
The cell phone rang, and the familiar exclusive ringtone was extremely harsh at this moment. It was the cell phone that Song Yu casually placed on the coffee table.
The ringing continued, and Song Yu frowned slightly, looking like he was about to be woken up.
Zhou Ci leaned over and picked up the phone, glanced at it casually, frowned slightly, hung up the call without mercy, and put it back.
After the ringtone was hung up, it didn't ring again. The person who called was quite sensible. Zhou Ci's expression looked a little better and he looked at Song Yu again.
Zhou Ci admitted that the best time in the world was when he was guarding his sister and watching her sleep in front of him. He didn't want to be disturbed by this beautiful moment, and even more selfishly, he didn't want anyone else to see it.
He looked at it for a long time.
There is heating in City B in winter, so even if you fall asleep in the living room, you won’t catch a cold. However, sleeping on the sofa in this position for a night would be very uncomfortable, and sleeping without removing makeup is not good for your skin.
Having lived with Song Yu for so long, Zhou Ci understood every aspect of her. She was picky about various things and paid attention to skin care. Going to bed without removing makeup was a taboo for her, but she didn't like others' help and preferred to do it herself.
Even though he was reluctant, Zhou Ci still woke Song Yu up.
Song Yu was half asleep, and was dazed for more than ten seconds after being woken up by Zhou Ci. Then he woke up and asked, "Why did I fall asleep like this?"
"Sister, you've been too tired lately." Zhou Ci handed Song Yu a glass of milk. "Sister, after drinking the milk, go back to your room and take a bath before going to sleep. You won't be so tired anymore."
"I understand!" Song Yu stood up and went back to his room. "I'm going to take a shower. Kids, go to bed early too."
"Good night, sister. See you tomorrow!"
Song Yu yawned delicately and waved to Zhou Ci: "See you tomorrow!"
