Chapter 110 I Can’t Sleep Alone
He leaned forward and pressed the intercom on the landline.
"Come in."
The assistant came in quickly: "Mr. Cheng, you are looking for me."
Cheng Yu asked him: "What did you want to talk to me about just now?"
The assistant suddenly realized something and said quickly, "Mr. Cheng, I just received an email. Ms. Zhou has sent me the preliminary floor plan of your house in the east of the city.
Ms. Zhou asked if you had any comments. If you did, she would revise it after discussion. If you didn't, she would start refining the design.
Cheng Yu raised an eyebrow: "Email?"
He took out his phone and opened WeChat. Zhou Zhou's name was pinned to the top column, and not even the number 1 appeared.
He didn't tell her his email address, but she went to ask for it and actually communicated with him through email.
His email address is public, and usually his assistant manages the screening, and he rarely logs in himself.
Assistant: “Yes.”
"Why? Did she say that if she has any comments, she should ask me to reply via email?" Cheng Yu said coldly.
"No, Miss Zhou left her phone number."
It seems like the real deal, and it's quite businesslike.
It's not like he doesn't have her phone number.
Cheng Yu looked down at his phone: "Got it, send me a copy of the file."
After a pause, he continued, "Reply to her and tell her that I'm very busy lately and don't have time to give any suggestions. Tell her to wait and I'll contact her when I'm done."
The assistant agreed.
The assistant went out and closed the door. Cheng Yu found Pei Shuchen's phone and called him: "What are you doing?"
"We're going to Huiqi Bank to arrest someone."
Pei Shuchen yawned non-stop. "I've been reporting on time for a week straight, staying there every day. If the old man knew I was so diligent, he would be grinning from ear to ear."
Cheng Yu said, "No need to go."
"What?" Pei Shuchen was still unable to react when he heard these words.
It wasn't until Cheng Yu repeated it that he woke up from his sleepiness. "Didn't you tell Yan Yiqi not to have time to look for Zhou Zhou? Why don't you want me to go?"
He was fussing over it. "Oh my god, Brother Yu, you're not really going to break up with Sister Zhou Zhou and let's go our separate ways from now on, right? Then, if we meet at a party next time, should I pay attention to you or Sister Zhou Zhou?"
"You can pay attention to whoever you want." Cheng Yu hung up the phone.
Pei Shuchen heard the busy tone on the other end of the phone, and his mouth was so big that an egg could fit in it.
What a difficult decision.
It’s true that Brother Yu is his good brother, but he also likes Zhou Zhou very much.
So difficult.
It was already evening when Zhou Zhou saw the WeChat message from Pei Shuchen.
After she came back from the United States, she couldn't adjust to the time difference and was always out at night and staying up all day.
Pei Shuchen sent the message in the morning, asking if she and Cheng Yu had quarreled again.
The word "again" is very spiritual. It is obvious that Pei Shuchen heard something and had such questions.
She thought of what Yan Yiqi had said to her on the phone before going to bed, and replied to him:
[I asked Yan Yiqi to tell you this.]
After replying the message, she got up and washed up.
After heating a cup of milk, she sat in front of the computer and checked her emails.
Recently, the studio released a recruitment information, and resumes were sent to her email every day. She checked them as usual, and replied to arrange a time for an interview if she found a suitable one.
After scrolling through a few messages, I saw an email from C.Y Investment Company.
Click to see the content above.
The reply to the email was very official and it was obvious that it was not written by Cheng Yu. It was probably replied by his assistant or secretary.
Just wait, she didn't want to contact him so soon.
After Zhou Zhou finished reading all the emails, he went back to his room to pick up his phone which had fallen on the bed.
The phone was still on, stuck on the chat screen with Pei Shuchen, with a few more replies from him.
What should I tell him?
[Yan Yiqi didn't call me, it was Brother Yu who called me.]
Didn't he ask me to stay with Yan the other day? Today he told me not to go looking for him. Did you guys quarrel again?
Zhou Zhou was stunned.
Was it Cheng Yu who hit him?
You haven't mentioned it for so many days, why did you call Pei Shuchen today to tell him about this?
Zhou Zhou thought of the email that had asked her to wait, and the official tone of the email. Perhaps he remembered this matter after seeing her email, and thus dealt with it together.
I don't want to contact her and have anything to do with her.
Her heart sank.
It seems that he really wants to break up this time.
When this thought came to mind, Zhou Zhou couldn't help but feel his heart skip a beat.
Why does she think so?
It was clearly she who said it was over, she was the one who regretted her attempt, and she was the one who pushed Cheng Yu away, so why was she thinking about whether Cheng Yu really wanted to break up?
Zhou Zhou held the phone in his hand, feeling a sudden panic and then uneasiness.
Could it be that she subconsciously doesn't want to break up?
These few days were uneventful, and she didn't worry too much about the suburban villa. She even thought that she was born cold-blooded. She had just admitted that she liked him, but she could immediately calm down.
Looking at the messages from Pei Shuchen, the email flashed through her mind, and this idea became more and more intense in her mind.
It was like an evil seed, which would spread and grow once it sprang out. Too many complicated emotions surged through Zhou Zhou's heart. When he came to his senses, the chat box turned into one with Cheng Yu.
Such a trivial matter can cause such a huge wave.
I just woke up, but all my strength seems to be drained away.
She lay powerlessly on the bed, holding her phone and staring blankly at the ceiling - what did she want?
She couldn't help but despise herself.
This was undoubtedly a double-edged sword, pushing Cheng Yu away while not wanting him to leave.
Just a week ago, she regretted her time in California.
She destroyed that time with her own hands. She still remembered Cheng Yu's incredulous and hurt eyes, and she also remembered Cheng Yu following her and asking her if his love could be so easily abandoned.
She didn't look back then.
It's not so easy to take back hurtful words.
Or is she unwilling to give up?
She was unwilling to accept that it was she who dumped him. Should she be the one to remind him not to look for Yan Yiqi again, instead of Cheng Yu going to look for him before her?
Zhou Zhou thought that from the very beginning, she and Cheng Yu cared about winning or losing.
It seems not. She didn't feel unwilling or resentful.
Dumping Cheng Yu was her win, but she didn't feel happy about it. Cheng Yu cut off contact with her first, so she was her loser, but she didn't feel depressed about it either.
There is only endless sadness.
Zhou Zhou had been in love once, but she didn't worry about the man after they broke up. In the final analysis, she had never truly tasted the sweetness of love.
She doesn't understand love.
What she experienced was always the game on the bed.
She didn't like others interfering in her life, so she never really understood a man outside of bed. When facing Cheng Yu, even if she tried to approach him, she still treated him with that casual attitude.
It's not that she likes him to do whatever he wants, but her attitude towards things is wrong.
Is she wrong?
Shouldn't they have a proper talk about what happened that day?
Even if she realized that there was no trust between them, she shouldn't have been so willful and reckless as to deny everything that had happened before?
The more Zhou Zhou thought about it, the more thoughts that kept coming out of her mind were like strands of wool, a tangled mess in her mind. She had no idea how to treat this relationship properly.
When I was at my wit's end, Yan Yiqi called.
As if grasping a life-saving straw, she immediately answered the phone, and her voice trembled so much that she was afraid: "Yi Qi..."
"Having a nightmare?" Yan Yiqi's voice was as gentle as ever.
"No." Zhou Zhou was still immersed in his thoughts and asked him in a muffled voice, "Yi Qi, did I do something wrong?"
Yan Yiqi was stunned by the nonsensical words.
He quickly reacted: "Zhou Zhou, do you want to hear the truth?"
"……Um."
"None of us three were right about what happened that night."
Yan Yiqi said, "I didn't expect him to be so hostile towards me. I should have told him earlier that we had agreed not to talk about love. He was too impulsive and jealous and forgot to consider your feelings, but he also cared about you too much, so it's understandable."
"What about me?"
"You shouldn't be so decisive."
Yan Yiqi said, "Being a bed partner is different from being in a relationship. In the former, you can be decisive and resolute, but love needs to be maintained and nurtured. When problems arise, you need to think about how to solve them instead of just ignoring them and ending them."
"but."
He said, "I originally called to tell you about this, but I didn't expect you to realize it first. This is a good thing. Zhou Zhou, the road to love is not something you can walk alone."
Zhou Zhou was silent for a moment.
Indeed, in their relationship, it was Cheng Yu who always came towards her.
"I told him the other day that I regretted our time in California, and regretted trying to be with him." Lost, she murmured dejectedly, "Cheng Yu must be very disappointed."
Pei Shuchen wanted to tell her that Cheng Yu's words today did not mean he was going to give up on her.
But Zhou Zhou realized that her love for Cheng Yu was deep, and she should learn to cherish him in the midst of gains and losses, so as to have a deeper understanding of love.
If I tell her that Cheng Yu hasn't given up, she will return to her calm attitude. Even if they reconcile, this incident will happen again.
Growing up is painful, but fortunately she quickly learned from it.
Yan Yiqi only said, "When he flew to California to find you, he was also in a desperate mood."
After hanging up the phone, Zhou Zhou struggled internally.
She never tried to approach someone actively.
He has made the decision to break up, and she has come to her senses because of his departure. Can she really turn the tide?
Never mind.
Zhou Zhou thought, just once, just once will be enough.
Just this time, she also had a desperate mentality.
She took a deep breath and opened the chat box with Cheng Yu. Her hands were shaking as she typed.
I made typos several times and deleted them tremblingly.
Zoe: [I can’t sleep alone.]
