"Won't."
"You could say that."
Xie Chi's narrow, dark eyes surged with a dark undercurrent. His Adam's apple bobbed as he looked at Su Zhou, who was smiling gently in front of him. The young girl was not old, but she knew how to please people.
I suddenly couldn't help it.
I just wanted to kiss her right then and there.
"Su Zhou, can we kiss?" Xie Chi held the umbrella in one hand, with almost the entire umbrella covering Su Zhou. The umbrella completely enveloped Su Zhou, and the dense rain fell down. In the space under the umbrella, only Xie Chi's voice could be heard, like the chilly spring rain.
Su Zhou nodded: "Yes... but now?"
"Um."
Su Zhou was still a little embarrassed, but since Xie Chi had already said so, it didn't matter. Being kissed by such a stunning beauty was definitely not a loss for her. Before she could react, he grabbed Su Zhou's chin with one hand and his lips were close to hers.
Deng Ying doesn't really like singing. She had already drunk some wine tonight, and when she saw Su Zhou come out, she came out herself. Compared to the stuffy smell in the room, the ground washed by the rain was shrouded in a thick white mist, and the fresh rain scent immediately made her feel refreshed.
She looked around listlessly, but suddenly her eyes widened.
In the torrential rain, the slender Su Zhou was being kissed by someone. The kiss was extremely tender. The man's tall figure made it impossible to discern his features, but the scene was inexplicably alluring.
The umbrella gradually shifted, tilted by the wind, and the long kiss finally ended. In the rain, the man had long eyebrows and slender eyes, extremely beautiful, like a demon in a painting, capable of bewitching people's minds in a daze.
Deng Ying's heart pounded wildly. If her eyes weren't mistaken... wasn't this Xie Chi, the former top idol who was once incredibly popular but chose to disappear at the height of his fame?
No... saying former top star is incorrect.
Many fans on various social media platforms still pray for Xie Chi's return every day, hoping that Xie Chi will have the opportunity to come back one day.
But do they know that their idol is kissing someone?
Unfortunately, the person she kissed was her college classmate, whom she had been jealous of for many years.
Deng Ying thought back to how she had been smug about dating a minor celebrity not long ago, while Su Zhou had actually gotten her hands on a top star.
Su Zhou was completely unaware that she had been watched for so long. She felt that this kiss was more like a passionate kiss between a man and a woman. The kiss was exceptionally long, so much so that Su Zhou felt her lips were numb after the kiss ended.
"Let me drive, my clothes are all wet." The umbrella tilted to one side, and Su Zhou's shoulders were wet. Fortunately, although the temperature was not good in the spring rain, the car was parked not far away, and Su Zhou ran all the way to drive the car over.
After turning on the heater, the slight chill on their bodies was dispelled. Xie Chi sat in the passenger seat, and Su Zhou glanced at Xie Chi, who was obediently fastening his seatbelt, and felt a sense of satisfaction.
The relationship between the two is now considered official.
Whether Xie Chi is a fox or something else, or whether there is an age difference between them, is irrelevant.
To borrow a phrase from my undergraduate roommate, the age difference can be two years, two hundred years, or two thousand years, as long as it's not twenty years.
So it doesn't matter.
"Deng Ying, are you still standing here? Isn't your boyfriend coming to pick you up? Also, just a friendly reminder, don't bring up Su Zhou for no reason anymore; her father is Su Yunhai." A kind classmate reminded her.
Deng Ying felt as if she had been crushed into the mud, and nodded with a dusty face.

Back at the zoo, Su Zhou quickly took a shower and changed her clothes.
Just as Wang Xingyue said, class reunions are simply a platform for classmates to banter and joke with each other.
This is all thanks to her parents' hard work; no matter how much those people try to outdo her, they can't surpass her. The only good thing today is that she's gained a boyfriend.
She had a good night's sleep, and even in her dream, the corners of her lips were turned up in a smile.
The zoo was open as usual the next day, and Su Zhou only found out when she went out that there were actually quite a few monks and Taoist priests in the zoo today.
They are easy to distinguish in the crowd. Most monks are bald, while Taoist priests look like they have a Taoist air about them. Most monks wear monk robes, which makes them stand out among tourists who are dressed normally.
Su Zhou took a bite of the shrimp pie. Ever since James became popular on the internet, the zoo has been frequently visited by foreigners, both domestic and international. Parents with children can often be seen practicing their spoken English with foreigners.
Foreigners practice their spoken English with Chinese people, and Chinese people practice their spoken English with foreigners.
But the probability of monks and Taoists appearing is much smaller than that of foreigners. Su Zhou was puzzled. She pushed open the office door opposite, which was now Song Xinran's office: "Xinran, why are there so many monks and Taoists in our garden today? Is something the matter?"
Song Xinran was still working on her computer. She peeked out from beside the screen and said, "There's a religious exchange conference being held recently. Most of the famous monks and Taoist priests from all over the country have come."
There are many Taoist temples and Buddhist monasteries throughout the country, but not many are famous.
And coincidentally, the monks and Taoist priests in the zoo are all quite famous.
Su Zhou doesn't know much about religion; she's selectively superstitious, believing in the God of Literature and the God of Wealth—believing the good and not the bad. She's never truly had any real faith, but she respects other people's beliefs.
"I didn't expect there to be such an event in the capital." Su Zhou was indeed not very familiar with this. When she went to the more famous temples in China, she was basically there as a tourist attraction, not as a place of faith.
"Yes, there is. It's about mutual exchange. Besides Taoism and Buddhism, there are also Christianity and Islam. I heard that several large cathedrals in Beijing have been holding free meal events recently, and a lot of people are going." Song Xinran has been eating at the zoo's restaurants a lot, and she's become much rounder than when she first came to the zoo.
The ingredients are all the best, of course, but the problem is there are just too many delicious things to eat.
A single breakfast a day easily adds up to 1,500 calories, and her weight gain is still slow. Song Xinran sighed, "I want to eat."
Su Zhou coldly replied, "Don't even think about it."
She never expected that these monks would choose to come to the zoo. Did these Taoist priests and monks also like to watch animals?
"I've heard that monks and Taoist priests make a lot of money these days, and they even consider academic qualifications. I don't know if it's true, but every time I go to worship Buddha, I see a lot of money in the donation box. I've also heard that some temples have delicious vegetarian food." Song Xinran felt longing for it. She had eaten very delicious vegetarian food before, and she still misses it.
Su Zhou had heard of this before, but she envied something else.
I've heard that the famous temples in Beijing attract a lot of tourists, and the entrance fees are very expensive. Just setting up a stall on the mountain would cost two or three million yuan a year in rent.
She would be overjoyed if her own zoo could achieve this level of success.
Completely baffled, Su Zhou simply stopped thinking about it and treated them as ordinary tourists.
