Chapter 17 Parting on bad terms
"Eating it will break the balance of the game?" Cheng Yu's words were full of mockery.
Zhou Zhou glanced at him and found that the corner of his lips was raised in a contemptuous arc, as if he was mocking her.
She didn't know where his sarcasm came from.
Are you angry and embarrassed after being exposed?
Before she could say anything, he sneered again, his voice a little heavier, "Zhou Zhou, a woman who is too smart is not cute."
Zhou Zhou frowned.
She was not used to Cheng Yu's ambivalence in relationships with men and women. Although she guessed that he was angry out of shame, she felt that someone like Cheng Yu should not be so petty.
That's not his style.
Zhou Zhou also knew that a man's demeanor was determined by his hormones.
Physical impulses and hormones play a big role.
The game between them was over. Zhou Zhou didn't want to dwell on it, so he said calmly, "Let's part ways amicably today. We can still be friends when we meet again."
"Can I?" Cheng Yu looked straight ahead, laughter escaping from his throat.
After two seconds of silence, he said lightly, "You are so calculating."
"Why are you unhappy?" Zhou Zhou tilted his head to look at him, his body leaning over with impatience.
Since she criticized him, he has spared no effort in mocking her.
"What did I say wrong? You broke the balance of the game, which is bad," she said.
Compared to her displeasure, Cheng Yu smiled instead: "Zhou Zhou, even if I'm on top of you twice in a row, so what? You like playing simple games, so you should have played connect-the-dots from the beginning. Why do you think I'm easy to control just because I send you some signals, and then blame the game for being too difficult when you can't beat it?"
His words ended with a disdainful snort.
Cheng Yu was smiling, the curve of his lips still there.
He glanced at the rearview mirror and turned the steering wheel to the left, not until he turned the bend in front of him did he look at her.
The music in the car was still playing. It was a very exciting song, but it couldn't arouse people's emotions.
Zhou Zhou sat quietly in the passenger seat, his expression unclear.
Cheng Yu's sarcastic words were like a basin of ice thrown into hot water. Zhou Zhou's anger disappeared at this moment, without even a ripple.
He accurately hit Zhou Zhou's pain point.
The two of them could roll together because of a silent understanding and the established rules. Even if Cheng Yu badly disrupted the balance of the game, Zhou Zhou was unhappy because she couldn't control Cheng Yu.
She had met men she couldn't handle, but she had never met a man she couldn't control even after she got him.
This had never happened in her gaming world.
Cheng Yu is like a MOD in a game, not controlled by anyone.
"If I ask for your affection, it will be my own fault if I can't beat you."
After a while, Zhou Zhou finally spoke, "There's only sex between us. We're playing a game that pleases both of us. Since it's no longer pleasurable, does it matter whether the game is difficult or easy?"
Cheng Yu, you've dragged me along and said all this, aren't you just trying to tell me I can't afford to play? I didn't want to sleep with you at first because I thought you were difficult to control, and I admit that's the truth. What about you? Do you dare to admit it? Admit that your unhappiness was caused by my cold attitude, which made you feel uncomfortable?
She turned her head and gave a sharp sneer: "Cheng Yu, are you able to play around again?"
Cheng Yu looked straight ahead without saying a word.
The smile on his lips faded, and his thin lips were pressed into a straight line. His dark eyes were like a cold pond, deep and unfathomable, even colder than the melting snow outside.
He raised his hand to turn off the music, and the car immediately fell into silence.
Zhou Zhou didn't know what was wrong with Cheng Yu, so he personally cut off the only music that could ease the atmosphere.
The two of them parted ways amicably, but it suddenly became a little ugly.
Zhou Zhou turned his head away and looked at the scenery outside the window, watching the white shadows of the trees recede little by little.
The car continued driving without a word. Half an hour later, the navigation system reminded us that we were nearing our destination, and the car turned into the Yanghu Villa area.
The Yanghu Villa District is composed of single-family villas, and Cheng Yu sent her to the door of Building 6.
The car stopped, Zhou Zhou unbuckled his seat belt and got out from the passenger seat.
She walked around to the back of the car, but the trunk was still locked. After waiting for a while and seeing no response, she knocked on the trunk. Cheng Yu seemed to react and opened the trunk from the front.
Zhou Zhou took out the suitcase and closed the trunk.
She pushed her suitcase to open the iron gate without saying hello to Cheng Yu.
Cheng Yu didn't seem to have such plans. He didn't get out of the car the whole time, only watching her through the rearview mirror. As the trunk closed, the car, which had been running, immediately started up and disappeared in an instant.
On this day, the two parted on bad terms.
Zhou Zhou was not worried that it would be awkward for them to meet again.
We are all adults, and private relationships between men and women do not affect normal social interaction. They are just temporary bedmates, there is no emotional entanglement, and there is no need for deep hatred.
She didn't say hello before going home, so her parents didn't know she was back.
As soon as she entered the room, the housekeeper was stunned for a moment when he saw her, and then he was overjoyed and called Zhou Xianda and his wife. The couple immediately rushed home from the company.
Seeing her precious daughter crying with joy, Lin Yue pulled her to look at it carefully, and she kept asking questions without stopping.
"You can't tell from the video, but when you meet her, you realize she's really grown up!" Lin Yue grabbed her arm and nodded with a smile. "It seems the American feng shui is very good for you. Why do you seem to be taller after not seeing you for a few years?"
"Zhou Zhou was 18 years old when she went to the United States. How could she have grown taller? She had a bit of a hunchback in high school, and the physical education teacher couldn't correct it. But now she has straightened up." Zhou Xianda was very happy after not seeing his daughter for a long time.
He cared about his daughter and paid close attention to every detail, but he feigned anger. "As soon as you got back, you went to that brat Chen Yiyang's place. You didn't miss me and your mother at all. Your mother hasn't been missing you much these past few days."
"No way." Zhou Zhou hugged Zhou Xianda's arm and acted coquettishly, "I arrived in Beijing in the middle of the night, and coming back would disturb your rest. Chen Yiyang said he would welcome me, and I thought I would be back at noon the next day. Who would have thought that a heavy snow would trap your precious daughter?"
Zhou Xianda snorted, "After four years, you're still as smooth-talking as ever, fooling me and your mother all day long!"
Lin Yue smiled and patted her husband: "Okay, on the way back, I don't know who kept urging the driver to drive faster, but now he's talking nonsense."
His wife exposed him mercilessly, and Zhou Xianda coughed and said nothing more.
The butler came over to speak and dinner was ready.
"Let's eat and talk." Lin Yue pulled Zhou Zhou to the restaurant.
The three of them were having dinner, and there was a table full of dishes, all of which were Zhou Zhou's favorites.
Lin Yue kept picking up food for her: "Eat more."
We talked a lot over the phone about school life, and when we met, he kept asking about it, as if he wanted to make up for the four years bit by bit.
After dinner, they sat together drinking tea. Lin Yue asked her, "When will you go back to school?"
Zhou Zhou thought for a moment and said, "Early March."
