Chapter 97 The Fire is Still Big
Zhou Zhou was still talking when a man wrapped in a pink bath towel suddenly appeared in the camera, leaving her stunned for a moment.
It's not that I didn't know Cheng Yu was here, but I didn't expect him to appear in this way.
Pink bath towel, that's kind of what it is.
Yan Yiqi, who was on the other side of the video, also saw it and his smile froze for a moment.
Through the phone, the subtle sound of electricity blurred the distant voice. He didn't hear clearly who the man on the other side was, but he was surprised to see a man appear in Zhou Zhou's house.
It was not until the person came closer, naturally put his arm around Zhou Zhou's shoulder and leaned over to face the camera from behind, and Cheng Yu's face appeared clearly on the screen, that he suddenly realized.
"Yeah, you were video chatting with Yan Yiqi?" Cheng Yu raised his eyebrows, as if he had just realized it.
Zhou Zhou looked up and saw the curve of his chin and lips, and said with a half-smile: "I remember you are not nearsighted."
Cheng Yu's expression remained unchanged: "Maybe the smog in California is serious."
“Can the smog reach my home?”
"Of course." Cheng Yu was a master at lying with his eyes open. "It's dark outside, how can there be any good light inside the house? Besides, the smog at night is much worse than during the day."
Zhou Zhou sneered: "You'd better be able to see the lights in the house."
Cheng Yu turned a deaf ear and pretended not to hear.
He didn't mind being bare-chested, and simply leaned over to look at Yan Yiqi who was waiting silently on the other end. "The weather in Beijing is quite nice, and it's bright and open during the day. Unlike California, where it's already dark by now."
Beijing and California, the bite is as heavy as it can get.
If Cheng Yu were to go up and recite a prose at this moment, he would surely be able to do so with cadence and win first place.
Yan Yiqi wore a pair of silver-framed glasses today, which made him look more refined.
He didn't miss the sarcasm, so he pushed his glasses up with his index finger and smiled warmly, "I've been in California for a few years, so I can still figure out the sixteen-hour time difference."
With a brief upward push, Cheng Yu noticed the watch sticking out from under his suit cuff.
What a custom alligator leather strap.
His eyes narrowed slightly as he listened to Yan Yiqi's unhurried question to Zhou Zhou, "I haven't been back for a few months. Are those potted plants on the balcony doing well?"
Zhou Zhou said, "It's fine. I sent it to a friend before I left, and it's doing very well."
As soon as he finished speaking, Cheng Yu laughed suddenly.
A short, quick sound coming from the nose.
"What's wrong with you?" Zhou Zhou was speechless. He couldn't bear to look at him on the screen. "You're walking around in a pink towel. Don't you think it's weird?"
Cheng Yu didn't care: "What's so strange about that?"
Zhou Zhou: “…”
What a flexible person.
She knew very well that Cheng Yu's confession had given him the opportunity to unleash his nature, and he was now openly and legitimately jealous.
The doorbell rang.
While he was taking a shower, the suitcase didn't arrive so quickly. Cheng Yu glanced at Zhou Zhou outside the door with an intriguing look in his eyes: "I see a lot of your 'friends' every day."
Zhou Zhou smiled and said, "Guess whether it's a boy or a girl."
Cheng Yu didn't even think about it: "Female."
How could there be a man coming to her house except the one on the other side of the video?
Cheng Yu was quite unimpressed. The two of them were even starting a business together. It was like his white moonlight in his previous life had to be in front of him and bother him in this life.
"Men. Go and welcome them. Remember to show your generosity."
Zhou Zhou smiled slyly and pushed his waist with his backhand to get him out of the camera. "Don't come in and eavesdrop. Stay in the living room or your room."
The moment he heard the man's words, Cheng Yu's face turned sour.
His tolerance and magnanimity at this moment was a luxury, and the next moment he couldn't listen to what they were saying. Cheng Yu snorted coldly and turned away without giving Zhou Zhou a good look.
Zhou Zhou watched him leave the study and then smiled helplessly, "Why are you teasing him on purpose?"
It's not that she didn't understand Yan Yiqi's little trick.
"Didn't I tell you before that we shouldn't tell him about our relationship?" Yan Yiqi laughed on the other end of the phone. "I told you then that he couldn't stand me, and I didn't want him to feel too good about it."
Zhou Zhou nodded, she remembered this incident.
She really didn't tell Cheng Yu about this matter. At that time, she didn't think Cheng Yu was that important to her.
"That's one thing. Actually, I just want to make him jealous."
He said, "They say bystanders see more clearly than those involved. That day I knew there was more to the relationship between you two than meets the eye.
You yourself didn't realize that you had begun to speak for him, and he probably didn't realize that what he thought was interest was already the beginning of love. So I thought that since he couldn't stand me, I could also be the lubricant and reconciliation between you two in disguise.
Zhou Zhou, although it makes me uncomfortable that we don’t talk about our relationship, it is true that I am not as reckless as he is towards you.
I've always planned my life rationally, and I can't make the kind of impulsive decisions he does. This is my fault. I'm jealous, but I'm the one to blame, not anyone else."
He smiled with relief on the other end.
He was jealous, but he hoped Zhou Zhou could be happy even more.
He used his reason to carve out a world for himself, but he was also willing to build a bridge to happiness for Zhou Zhou - jealousy was the beginning of love.
Zhou Zhou always saw the essence of things, just like she could see through the jealousy between him and Cheng Yu. Cheng Yu was the same, seeing him as a thorn in his side, but also knowing that there was no possibility for them.
Among smart people, jealousy is never a source of misunderstanding.
We have made it clear that we will be the best partners, so talking about these topics is no longer heavy.
Yan Yiqi laughed and said, "Being jealous is quite interesting, isn't it?"
"Yes." Zhou Zhou agreed.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have deliberately said that it was a man who knocked on the door, so that he would be more calm and generous.
The two chatted for a while before hanging up the video.
Zhou Zhou came out of the study and turned the corner to see the man standing on the balcony, with his head down, pulling at flower petals out of boredom.
I didn't really pull it off, I just flicked it here and tugged it there.
Hearing her footsteps, Cheng Yu raised his head and twitched the corners of his lips, his voice surprisingly cold: "Why, are you done with your reluctant chat?"
"Yeah, I'm reluctant to hang it up." Zhou Zhou followed up his words and said, "Why are you admiring the flowers here?
Cheng Yu glanced over, his smile a little sinister, and the jealousy in his tone filled the whole room: "See what's different about the flowers Yan Yiqi has seen."
"Do you see the point?"
"It's okay, it hasn't become a spirit yet."
Zhou Zhou couldn't help laughing.
Unexpectedly, Cheng Yu was quite cute when he was jealous. She thought Yan Yiqi's proposal was simply great. It was really a different experience to see him get humiliated occasionally.
She bit her lip and took a while to suppress her smile: "What about the guests I asked you to entertain?"
Cheng Yu pointed with his big hand: "Let's put it on the table."
"You're quite generous of me to let him come to the table." Zhou Zhou called him in to eat.
The person who just rang the doorbell was a takeaway.
The lunch box has been taken out and placed on the table, and it is indeed served properly.
Cheng Yu came out from the balcony and when he passed by her, Zhou Zhou suddenly pulled his shirt.
It's dry, without any sign of being wet.
"It seems that the dryers in California are different. They can dry your clothes in just a few minutes." Zhou Zhou had a sly smile on his face.
Cheng Yu raised his eyebrows and uttered a hmm in his throat, a bit arrogant, and said in a leisurely tone: "The fire in my heart dried it up."
"The fire is quite big."
