However, before Tao Zhizhi could find a clue, Fu Jue called.

"Zhizhi, may I have the honor of taking up one of your days off tomorrow?"

As soon as Tao Zhizhi answered the phone, she heard Fu Jue on the other end inviting her out. She didn't agree immediately because she saw the 30 million in her wallet and had the idea of ​​buying a car and a house.

Although she lives harmoniously with her parents now, she still hopes to have two houses. The family house is quite old. One house would be for her parents to change their living environment whenever they want, and the other house would be for her to live in, so she could sneak some of the foods that her parents consider unhealthy.

Yes, Tao Zhizhi is already twenty-two years old, but she still has to hide from her parents and eat spicy snacks outside. After eating, she gives herself a thorough deodorization treatment before daring to go inside.

Tao Zhizhi hesitated for a few seconds, then sincerely asked, "Do you know how to inspect a car?"

Fu Jue was filled with questions. It sounded like she wouldn't refuse him, but it also seemed like she already had other plans. The fact that she had invited him along stirred something within her.

"Know a little"

Are you thinking of buying a car?

She didn't hide anything and said it bluntly:

"Um!"

"Could you give me some advice?"

Fu Jue smiled, knowing he could continue to be by her side tomorrow.

"Of course, it's my pleasure to be able to help you."

Tao Zhizhi readily replied, "Great! See you tomorrow!"

Fu Jue wanted to continue the conversation, but upon hearing the end of her sentence, a hint of helplessness crossed his face, and a smile played on his lips:

"Then I'll pick you up tomorrow, okay?"

Are you available?

"Of course, I just happened to be passing by."

Actually, that wasn't the case. Fu Jue and Tao Zhizhi lived in different parts of the city, one in the east and the other in the west, which were not on the same route at all. But Fu Jue wanted to see her as soon as possible, so he just went along with it.

After finishing his performance, Fu Chao opened his phone and, as usual, browsed Zhi Yun's updates. Zhi Yun liked to share her life and would post updates on her WeChat Moments every few days. Sometimes it was about cats and dogs she encountered on the street, and sometimes it was about how tiring studying was.

In Fu Chao's eyes, her life was particularly interesting, unlike his own, which lived a life of routine. However, in the past two years, he had gradually come to enjoy his life after leaving his previous one, but he couldn't control his longing for her.

[Zhiyun: I'm finally graduating! Domestic delicacies await me, your big eater is coming!]

Fu Chao stared at the post for a long time, and the thought of not wanting her to return to China suddenly popped into his mind. He was afraid that as soon as they met, she would forget about him again and go straight to Fu Jue.

Moreover, Fu Jue already had someone he loved, and he wanted to see her all the time, but he was even more afraid of hurting her feelings.

The staff called him twice, but Fu Chao didn't hear them until someone patted him on the shoulder, which pulled him out of his thoughts.

next day

Fu Jue arrived at Tao Zhizhi's building early without urging her. He glanced at his watch to estimate when she would wake up.

He only sent one message:

[Jue Feiyu: Zhizhi, I'm on the right side of the community entrance.]

Tao Zhizhi had almost finished her makeup. She had searched for some car-buying guides last night and was full of confidence.

[Cheese Peach: So fast! I'll be downstairs in ten minutes.]

Seeing this, Fu Jue got out of the car and leaned against the side, no longer playing on his phone, his eyes fixed on the exit, full of anticipation.

Many people went to the market to buy vegetables in the morning, taking advantage of the fresh produce. As people came and went from the community, Fu Jue, with his good looks, inevitably attracted a few more glances.

Tao's mother left home earlier than Tao Zhizhi today and happened to run into her neighbor, Aunt Yu. The two sisters, who were very close, went out hand in hand.

Because Fu Jue was in a fairly conspicuous position, the two of them saw him. Aunt Yu patted Tao's mother, her tone filled with amazement:

“Ah Tao, look at that young man, he’s handsome.”

"Hey, I think Zhizhi doesn't have a boyfriend yet, right? Should we go ask her?"

Aunt Yu's eyes were filled with excitement as she dragged Tao's mother toward Fu Jue.

Upon hearing this, Tao's mother also examined Fu Jue for a while, and unconsciously followed along with Aunt Yu.

The two stood in front of Fu Jue, and Aunt Yu spoke to him in a familiar manner:

"Young man, are you from this neighborhood? I've never seen you before."

"Auntie sees you're quite handsome, are you waiting for your girlfriend?"

The two looked at him expectantly, listening intently to his answer.

Seeing that the two were only asking politely, Fu Jue answered politely:

"I don't live here; I am indeed waiting for someone."

"She's not my girlfriend yet, but I'm trying."

Aunt Yu and Tao's mother's eyes lit up when they heard that he wasn't her girlfriend, but when they heard what he said next and saw that he had someone else in his heart, their eyes dimmed again.

"I see. Then I wish you success soon."

"Okay, thank you!"

Fu Jue accepted their well wishes in a good mood. The two shook their heads gently, looked at each other and saw the regret in each other's eyes, and then left.

No sooner had Tao's mother left than Tao Zhizhi emerged from the entrance of the residential complex.

Tao Zhizhi spotted Fu Jue at a glance. Her made-up peach blossom eyes sparkled as she ran towards him with a smile.

"Sorry, have you been waiting long?"

Fu Jue saw her fluttering towards him like a little butterfly, a gentle smile on his face, and naturally took the small bag from her hand:

"I just arrived too. It's only right to wait for the girls to put on their makeup."

Fu Jue carried her bag back to the driver's seat, and Tao Zhizhi didn't notice anything amiss, so she opened the passenger door directly.

When Fu Jue saw that Tao Zhizhi didn't need him to make a fuss about letting her sit in the passenger seat, his smile became even brighter.

He casually handed her the sandwich and milk he had prepared in advance:

"We're still a distance from our destination, let's have some breakfast to tide us over."

Tao Zhizhi didn't hesitate. She took the sandwich he had already opened and the milk with a straw, and started eating it in small bites.

She looked at the sandwich packaging, which seemed to be homemade, and asked in surprise:

Did you make this breakfast yourself?

"Hmm, but my cooking was just so-so. Was it not tasty?"

Tao Zhizhi quickly shook her head and swallowed the food in her mouth:

"Of course not! It's delicious!"

She gave Fu Jue a thumbs-up to express her liking, and the satisfied expression on her face didn't seem like an act.

Tao Zhizhi was indeed very satisfied with the sandwiches he made. They tasted much better than before she had mastered her cooking skills. They were refreshing and not greasy, and every bite was satisfying.

Hearing her praise, Fu Jue's smile never faded the entire way. He was in such a good mood that he could even greet a driver who was cursing and swearing on the road with a smile.

Tao Zhizhi ate her breakfast slowly, and the two of them arrived at their destination steadily.

Fu Jue naturally picked up her bag, not feeling at all that it was out of place.

Tao Zhizhi was a little shy and wanted to take it back, but he refused.

"It's okay, I'll take it. You'll be taking a test drive later."

She nodded, letting Fu Jue carry her bag and follow beside her.
