Chapter 606 Xia Ying Extra 2
After hurriedly returning home, Zhang Ziyao began looking for the book "How the Steel Was Tempered" and finally found it in the corner of the bookshelf.
Looking at the yellowed book, he was a little hesitant to open it. He was afraid that the letter inside was gone, but also afraid that the letter was still inside and he would read the contents.
Now he can hardly bear Xia Ying's heavy feelings.
Finally, he opened the book and saw the neatly folded heart-shaped letter. His heart swelled. He took it out and carefully opened it. The elegant and freehand handwriting appeared before his eyes.
The style of this font resembled Xia Ying's personality. They hadn't interacted much before, but after getting to know each other for a while, he knew that Xia Ying was generous and free-spirited. The only thing that wasn't free-spirited about her was probably her relationship.
Taking a deep breath, Zhang Ziyao read the text word by word. After finishing, he sat there motionless for a long time. He was thinking about what he should do.
Any response?
But Xia Ying's feelings were too strong, and he was afraid of disappointing her. He knew himself well, and he had always been indifferent to matters of the heart. He had always believed that a man's most important thing was his career, and that love was better than nothing, but it didn't matter if he didn't have it.
When he married Tang Wei, he knew that she was scheming, but he didn't take it to heart. As long as Tang Wei could fulfill her responsibilities as a wife in the future, that was enough. And at that time, Tang Wei's performance was indeed a good wife and mother.
He just didn't expect that she would become a completely different person after getting married. He didn't have the patience to maintain a relationship with her, and Tang Wei didn't want to divorce him, as a quarrel would affect his career, so they finally decided to go their separate ways.
His family members told him that he was not good enough, and he knew it but did not want to change. Therefore, his character was also flawed. How could he respond to Xia Ying's deep affection?
If he didn't respond, would he just give up? He didn't seem willing to do that either. If he gave up, he might regret it for the rest of his life.
He was also an ordinary man, and it was natural for him to feel secretly happy that he had been loved by such an outstanding girl for nearly ten years.
He never hesitated in doing anything, but now he didn't know what to do. He didn't sleep all night. The next day, he went to the airport and ran into Xia Ying at the door on her way to work. The two of them walked to a deserted place to talk.
"I've seen the letter." Zhang Ziyao whispered, then he opened his mouth, wanting to say something but not knowing what to say. He had not made a decision. In fact, in terms of feelings, he felt a little inferior in front of Xia Ying.
Xia Ying hadn't expected that after all these years, he could still find the letter. Their fate was truly indescribable. She looked up at Zhang Ziyao, wondering what he would do after seeing the letter and knowing her feelings.
I started with her, but she still refused. I felt very uneasy, like someone waiting for judgment.
Zhang Ziyao looked at his watch and said, "I'm in a hurry, so I'll leave first." Then he strode away, a little hurriedly. Xia Ying looked at his back and couldn't help but shed tears. She raised her hand to wipe them away, smiled bitterly and said to herself, "I can finally give up."
After all, after so many years of love, it's not easy to give up. But since Xia Ying had made up her mind, she no longer hesitated. A few days later, Gu Yimin introduced her to Ye Chi's comrade-in-arms, and she agreed to the blind date without hesitation.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Ziyao rushed over during the blind date. Fortunately, Xiao Si stopped him, otherwise everyone would be embarrassed. After the blind date left, the two of them met in a private room. He said that he had been abroad some time ago and he wanted to give it a try with her.
Xia Ying agreed without hesitation. She knew she wouldn't be able to forget him anytime soon, so she decided to give it a try. If it didn't work out, she'd give up. However, she suggested keeping it a secret from her family. After all, they lived in the same compound, and if it didn't work out, both families would be embarrassed.
Zhang Ziyao heaved a sigh of relief when she agreed. God knows how panicked he was when he found out she was going on a blind date. As for not letting his family know about it, he also agreed.
He was also afraid of his own temper. When Xia Ying really got along with him, he didn't like her, and in the end they couldn't be together.
Since it was agreed, the two started dating the next day. They were supposed to meet at 10 o'clock, but Zhang Ziyao got up at 6 o'clock. He went to the bathroom to take a shower and then blow-dry his hair in front of the mirror.
But because I had never blow-dried my hair before, my hands were not very good at it. I fiddled with it for almost an hour but couldn't get any shape. In the end, I could only leave it as usual.
While choosing clothes, he suddenly realized that he had never paid enough attention to his image. How could he only wear Mao suits and jackets? He hadn't thought much of it before because all his colleagues at work dressed the same way.
But today, he felt these clothes were too old-fashioned and didn't reflect his temperament. Xia Ying was beautiful and fashionable, and these clothes didn't match him at all. But he had no other clothes, so he had to pick out a jacket and put it on.
I hope Xia Ying won’t dislike it.
After tidying himself up, he went downstairs. Lu Shuyun was stunned when she saw him, then looked him up and down and said, "You look a little different today."
"Why is it different?" Zhang Ziyao said calmly, "Is the meal ready? I'm starving."
As he walked towards the restaurant, Lu Shuyun looked at his back and muttered, "It's just a little different."
After dinner, Zhang Ziyao read a book for a while and then went out. Naturally, he didn't dare to go with Xia Ying, but when he passed by the door of Xia's house, he couldn't help but look at her several times.
They met in the park, planning to take a walk first and then have lunch together. He waited for a while in the park and Xia Ying arrived. She was wearing a brown windbreaker, a white shirt and a brown skirt. She was so pretty that people couldn't take their eyes off her.
Looking at his clothes again, Zhang Ziyao suddenly became even less confident. He was also honest and said to Xia Ying directly: "Why don't we go shopping for clothes? My clothes don't match you at all."
Xia Ying laughed when she heard his words. She had never thought he cared about this, especially since everyone in government offices dressed like this. However, Xia Ying still took him to the place where she often ordered clothes.
"What style do you want?" Xia Ying asked him.
"Whatever style you think suits me, then that's fine." Zhang Ziyao said. He really didn't care about this.
Xia Ying didn't hesitate. After a brief discussion with the designer, she ordered five or six sets of clothing for him and also made a few for herself. In the end, Zhang Ziyao naturally paid for the clothes, as Xia Ying knew he had investments and wasn't short of money.
After leaving the clothing store, the two went to eat together. In terms of common topics, the two had no shortage of them, and they had a very pleasant meal while chatting.
