Chapter 65 Nothing Gained
He doesn't usually talk like that.
Calling her "We Zhizhi" sounds like teasing her, like teasing a child.
Wen Zhile's cheeks felt slightly hot: "I forgot."
"I'm going back first, brother, go to bed early."
Surprise flashed across Zhou Jihuai's eyes.
Wen Zhile walked quickly and closed the door for him.
The man looked towards the door, thoughtfully.
【Why don’t you ask again? 】
"I don't know. I just don't want to ask." Wen Zhile kicked off his shoes, turned off the light, and went to bed. He covered his face with the quilt and said in a muffled voice, "Let's talk about it later."
Is there any need to ask? Her brother Zhou treats her like a child at first sight, how could he possibly like her?
How could she forget that she is only sixteen years old, not twenty-three?
What mature adult would have feelings for a sixteen-year-old girl?
Wen Zhile slept for a while, and when he woke up he felt that he had changed.
In the past, she thought about studying every day, and only when she was tired of studying would she go traveling to other places to clear her mind for a few days. But now, her mind is gradually filled with Zhou Jihuai, and she can't forget him even when traveling.
It's not her fault.
Wen Zhile got out of bed, washed up, and analyzed the reasons for the change in his mentality in front of the mirror.
Reason one: Zhou Jihuai was so good-looking, so good-looking that she would stare at his face in a daze from time to time.
Reason two: She cares too much.
All the changes started when she thought about why Zhou Jihuai did this.
Maybe she shouldn't think about it, because if she didn't she wouldn't be able to focus her limited attention on him.
The girl in the mirror nodded.
"Zhizhi, are you awake?"
A cold man's voice came through the door. Wen Zhile washed his face, wiped it with a towel, and went to open the door: "Wake up! Good morning."
Zhou Jihuai's lips curled up when he saw her: "Let's go downstairs to eat. Grandma and grandma have already gone to the restaurant."
"Okay, wait for me to change my shoes."
"Take your time, there's no rush." Zhou Jihuai stood by the door, his eyes fixed on her, and he was distracted without realizing it.
Wen Zhile changed her shoes and put on her schoolbag. She was slightly startled when she saw this, and then waved in front of him: "Brother, step back. I'm going to close the door."
Zhou Jihuai blinked and took a few steps back.
Wen Zhile didn't look at him. She closed the door and walked towards the elevator: "I'm so hungry, so hungry, so hungry. I want to have a big breakfast."
It's really much better not to think! Wen Zhile is not troubled at all now.
I eat, drink and play, and never think of anything wrong.
Seven days later, the group returned to Jingzhou by plane.
Zhou Jihuai carried the suitcases of the four people, and Wen Zhile carried four bottles of Moutai sent by the crew. After they walked out of the airport, the car that picked them up was already parked outside.
Zhou Jihuai signaled Wen Zhile to sit in the front car. She nodded and said, "Grandma, I'll sit in that car."
Qu Jinghong and Ye Qin had already gotten into the jeep parked at the back.
Wen Zhile ran to the front to take a look, then sat in the back seat of the car: "Cousin, long time no see. I brought you a gift."
Shu Cheng'an was so happy: "It's worth it that I love you so much. What's the gift?"
"I won't tell you, it's a good thing anyway."
Shu Chengan chuckled.
"Xiao Yu, I also brought you a gift."
During the days when she was undergoing military training, Xiao Yu braved the scorching sun every day to bring her meals, which was really not easy.
Xiao Yu, who was sitting in the driver's seat, was surprised and thanked him.
Zhou Jihuai put away his luggage and came in.
Xiao Yu turned around and said, "Hello, leader! Everything is fine in the group without you these days!"
Zhou Jihuai patted him on the shoulder: "Got it, let's drive."
He looked at the co-pilot: "Cheng'an, did you catch the person?"
The smile on Shu Chengan's face gradually faded: "No."
"My people staked out the bank for seven days and found nothing."
Zhou Jihuai was silent for two seconds and closed the car window: "Zhizhi, when you return to school, try not to leave the school gate."
After saying that, he said to Shu Chengan, "Do you have a frontal photo of the suspect?"
"Yes."
Shu Cheng'an took out a photo from his pocket.
"Our technical staff got it from bank surveillance. This guy is really brave. He has committed so many crimes and yet he dares to run around with his face uncovered!"
Zhou Jihuai took the photo and Wen Zhile took a closer look.
It was indeed the face in the news in the previous life.
The man took a look and put the photo towards her: "Be careful, run away if you see him."
He spoke in a serious tone, and then he seemed to realize that he was too serious, and then his expression softened: "He doesn't dare to enter the school."
Wen Zhile smiled and said, "It's okay. I'm not afraid."
If no variable is inserted, the criminal will have another month and a half before committing his next crime.
Wen Zhile leaned back in his chair, feeling a little uneasy.
She wasn't sure if she would be a variable.
After Zhou Jihuai and Shu Cheng'an discussed the next arrangements, they found that Wen Zhile was holding the seat belt buckle tightly.
He frowned and reached out to hold her hand.
The little girl's thoughts paused, and she slowly loosened her grip.
The warmth on the back of her hand overwhelmed the pain in her palm and also relaxed her tension.
Zhou Jihuai let go after a while: "With your cousin and I, nothing will happen to you."
Wen Zhile nodded.
The jeep drove quickly into the school family compound.
Wen Zhile stayed at home for a day and moved back to the school dormitory the next day.
She brought a box of butterfly cookies for each of the three people in the dormitory.
Ma Xinxin and Li Fangfei refused for a long time before accepting.
Zhang Nian answered the call directly and asked suspiciously, "You went to Shanghai?"
Wen Zhile: "No, my grandma brought this back from Shanghai. If you don't want it, just give it back to me."
Zhang Nian picked up the bag and asked, "Who said I don't want it?"
She looked at the girl's fair and tender skin, her eyes filled with sourness: "I heard from my cousin that the officer who came to see you during the military training was Captain Zhou."
"Do you know who his father is?"
Wen Zhile sat down at the desk: "I don't know."
Zhang Nian opened his mouth, but when the words came to his lips, he didn't know what he was thinking: "It doesn't matter if I don't know. He's not a big shot."
Wen Zhile smiled.
Zhang Nian touched up her lipstick in front of the mirror and couldn't help asking, "Why don't you ask who my cousin is?"
Wen Zhile was sorting out his textbooks. Hearing this, he didn't even raise his head: "What does your cousin have to do with me?"
"My cousin knows you," Zhang Nian put the lipstick back into the drawer, "My cousin is Xu Jing."
Wen Zhile: “Oh.”
She knew it a long time ago.
She also knew that Xu Jing had not told Zhang Nian the details of her family background, otherwise Zhang Nian would not have been asking so many questions here.
"What is your relationship with Captain Zhou?"
Wen Zhile finished organizing his textbooks, opened a box of chocolates and ate a piece. After eating, he drank some water and said slowly, "What does it have to do with you?"
Zhang Nian's eyes widened, and he couldn't believe what he heard: "Wen Zhile, you are so unfriendly to me?"
Wen Zhile put down the cup, her tone still gentle: "Did I scold you or hit you?"
Zhang Nian choked.
"Or you can return the butterfly cake to me."
Zhang Nian frowned and took out the butterfly cake angrily after hearing this.
Wen Zhile looked at Ma Xinxin and Li Fangfei and said, "Just eat her box. You don't have to leave any for me."
"Don't be angry," Li Fangfei said to smooth things over: "Hurry up and get ready for class, Zhang Nian. Our class has class in the morning. Have you found your textbook?"
She and Zhang Nian both majored in Chinese.
Zhang Nian looked for a book with a sullen face.
Wen Zhile stuffed two pieces of chocolate into her schoolbag, picked up her English textbook and stood up. Compared to Zhang Nian, her mood did not change at all: "I'll go first. My teaching building is far away."
She didn't seem angry at all.
Zhang Nian suddenly felt like an idiot.
After Wen Zhile went out, he opened his umbrella to shield himself from the sun and walked towards the teaching building.
After the military training, the freshman year courses officially began.
Wen Zhile began her campus life of studying, eating, and sleeping every day. Her life was so peaceful that she sometimes even felt that she had not been reborn.
After Zhou Jihuai returned to the team, he was as busy as her, and Shu Chengan was also busy with a case. The three of them hadn't seen each other for some time.
At the end of September, Wen Zhile was called out by the dormitory manager, who said that her uncle was looking for her.
Zhang Nian heard the dormitory manager's words at the stairwell and turned around and walked downstairs.
She wanted to see what kind of background Wen Zhile had that allowed her to live so comfortably!
Wen Zhile went downstairs two minutes later, and someone raised his hand to signal him from under the shadow of a tree not far away.
She walked over quickly and said, "Hello, teacher."
Guo Liren smiled and replied, "It's Ji Huai's call."
"Excuse me." Wen Zhile took the mobile phone and put it to his ear.
"elder brother."
"Zhizhi." Zhou Jihuai held a pen in his hand and wrote a mission report in a notebook, "Do you have any plans for tomorrow?"
Wen Zhile: “No.”
Zhou Jihuaian was silent for five or six seconds, during which time Wen Zhile could only hear his breathing and the noise of unstable signal.
"I will pick you up from school at 8 o'clock tomorrow morning. You wait for me in front of the dormitory building and don't leave the school gate." Zhou Jihuai stopped writing, looked beside him, and frowned.
Wen Zhile felt strange. Her brother Zhou's tone was not right: "Brother, what's the matter?"
"Your cousin... has something to tell you," Zhou Jihuai tapped the table with his pen and continued, "I'll pick you up at Yu Qi's restaurant tomorrow morning. We'll meet your brother there."
Wen Zhile agreed.
After hanging up the call, she chatted with Guo Liren for a few words before returning to the dormitory.
Zhou Jihuai, who was far away in the army, kicked Shu Chengan and said, "Is this your bad idea?"
Shu Chengan patted his footprints and wanted to cry: "How about you kick me a few more times?"
Zhou Jihuai gave him a look and said, "Get lost."
"Let Zhizhi kick you in person tomorrow!"
