Chapter 232 I Will Support You (Two in One)
In Cheng Zhu's room, Concubine Chen listened to his words and couldn't help but look up and look at him.
Endless surprise first appeared in her eyes, then her expression gradually became more and more complicated, and finally she could only quickly lower her head, staring at the wine glass in her hand.
She didn't want Cheng Zhu to see that her eyes had turned slightly red under her gold-rimmed glasses.
Comfort is a very common word.
But the word "coax" is not it.
For many girls who grew up surrounded by love, it may not be a big deal.
If Lin Lu was there, she might even deliberately say, "Hey, you look a little greasy!" while her heartbeat slightly accelerated.
But Concubine Chen is different.
When it comes to the word "coax", the word that most people think of is probably "coaxing a child".
But looking back at her childhood, was it like this?
She was just an unwanted daughter in her family, a girl who was labeled a money-loser from birth.
She lives cautiously at home and dares not make any mistakes.
She has had to help with housework at home since she was young. Children sometimes make mistakes unintentionally, but what awaits her will be her rage, or even beatings and scolding.
Moreover, the more you cry, the more fiercely the other party will scold you and beat you.
The other party will only become more annoyed.
She had never experienced being coaxed.
Even her mother, her only spiritual support, would only repeatedly mention the word "sensible" to her.
Of course, occasionally there will also be "be strong", "be obedient", "admit your mistake", "be sweeter", etc.
Later, when she went to college, she worked hard for scholarships and worked part-time to earn money.
Once you step half a foot into society at an early age, you will naturally be beaten by society.
People like her who came to the big city from a small place can clearly feel how out of place they are here.
She had a very hard time along the way, and she managed to hold on entirely on her own.
She had heard some words of comfort, but sometimes when you show your wounds to your friends, you can only get short-term comfort.
You think the other person is a closed tree hole, but he or she may use your suffering as a topic of conversation to others.
What you will get in return later will be greater pain.
For Chen Jieyu, she needed emotional value too much.
But Cheng Zhu is very good at giving this thing.
Just a simple word of coaxing could have a great destructive effect on her, and it would make her emotions burst out again and make her lose all her strength.
Chen Jieyu has long been accustomed to internal friction.
But the strange thing is that both times when she met Cheng Zhu, she would have an emotional breakdown and "embarrass herself" in front of him.
"Didn't you say you were in a better mood? Why are you crying again?" Cheng Zhu got up, got some paper from the bedside, and handed it to her.
Sometimes, crying is quite magical.
You may have been sobbing quietly, but you could hold it back for a while.
But when someone points out that you are crying and asks you why you are crying, suddenly your tears will flow out continuously like incontinence, you can't hold them back at all.
Cheng Zhu looked at Concubine Chen who was dropping her little pearls, and sat opposite her without saying a word.
It’s not that he, a bastard, really doesn’t want to comfort her. He just thinks, “When a person is in this state, his ears may be no different from being deaf, and he can’t hear what you are saying at all.”
He felt that Concubine Chen was already immersed in her own emotions at this moment.
Her perception of the outside world is weakening.
In fact, it is true.
Of course, the culprit must be that bastard Cheng Zhu.
He is the one who pokes people's hearts.
To be honest, Concubine Chen is definitely younger than he was before his rebirth.
However, compared to him now, Concubine Chen was much older.
What's more, he is a student and she is a counselor.
However, if you take a closer look at some men who are getting along or dating with women who are older than themselves, some men will use a trick, which is that they will insist on calling the other party: sister.
There is a trick here, and you can savor it carefully.
Of course, if you want to be your sister’s little puppy, that’s another matter, it’s another route.
What Cheng Zhu just did was actually somewhat similar to this behavior.
Chen Jieyu cried for several minutes like this, and Cheng Zhu kept handing her new tissues.
Finally, as she took another tissue, she whispered, "Thank you."
Cheng Zhuze leaned down slightly, then looked at her face and said in a teasing tone: "It's not bad this time. Your eye makeup didn't get smudged by crying."
This immediately reminded her of the last time she cried in front of him and her eye makeup was ruined.
"No painting today." She put down the tissue.
Chen Jieyu didn't wear any eyeliner or mascara today.
Cheng Zhu smiled, sat on the sofa, lifted a corner of the curtains, and looked outside through the floor-to-ceiling window.
Then, his eyes narrowed slightly.
Wow, I just took a casual look and actually tasted the melon!
"Look outside." He began to invite Concubine Chen to eat melon together.
The counselor looked at him with her still slightly red eyes, then looked out the French window with a puzzled look on her face.
Soon, a hint of surprise appeared on her face.
They caught Liu Feng and Chen Tingting kissing!
"Among the three adopted sons, the one who loves me the most is Liu Feng."
"Based on respect for women."
"Forget it, I won't take pictures!" Cheng Zhu thought.
If this was filmed and sent to Chuan'er, he would probably be socially devastated on the spot.
Cheng Zhu witnessed this scene purely as a spectator, but Concubine Chen was completely different.
After drinking a lot of alcohol, she and another man were alone in a room, and they even watched other men and women being intimate downstairs.
This made her feel a little embarrassed again, but fortunately, after the alcohol got on her face, her cheeks were slightly red.
It's late at night now and many students have probably gone back to their rooms, so there should be few people on the large lawn.
Liu Feng and Chen Tingting were now in a remote corner with no one around, and they thought they were just enjoying their own world.
But unfortunately, Cheng Zhu's room was at the deepest part of the corridor, the innermost room, and could be seen by him.
If anyone is to blame, it's the darkness around here. Liu Feng didn't dare to take Chen Tingting too far away for fear of accidents.
In Cheng Zhu's opinion, it was normal for a young couple who had just gotten together to be a little affectionate.
We are young people, I can understand that, I can understand that!
However, Concubine Chen couldn't help but stand up, put down the curtains that Cheng Zhu had lifted, and then simply pulled all the curtains in the room.
"Don't look at it," she said.
"Hmm?" Cheng Zhu looked up at her and nodded: "Okay."
In fact, he didn't have much desire to spy on them. At first, he just wanted to confirm whether they were the class monitor and the league secretary.
"Um. I'm going to the bathroom." said Concubine Chen.
"Okay." Cheng Zhu nodded.
After Chen Jieyu walked into the bathroom, she didn't want to go to the toilet, but stood in front of the mirror and looked at herself.
Fortunately, it was just my cheeks and eyes that turned red.
She turned on the faucet, washed her hands first, then dipped a tissue in some water and gently pressed the corners of her eyes.
After the counselor put on his gold-rimmed glasses again, he leaned his hands on the sink, took a deep breath, and then let out a long sigh.
She could feel herself falling once again tonight.
Although she had drunk alcohol, at least her brain was still able to remain clear at the moment.
This is the most terrible thing.
Once again, a sober sinking.
I clearly felt that I was sinking.
When Concubine Chen came out of the bathroom, Cheng Zhu was pouring wine into his glass.
He looked up at the counselor who was walking towards him and thought that the straight and loose trousers she wore were indeed not as good as the professional suit and lacked some style.
The last time I went out drinking with her, she was wearing a suit and seemed to be wearing stockings.
But at the back, the stockings were snagged, creating a slit, adding a touch of charm.
Cheng Zhu seriously suspected that Chen Jieyu always bought some OL-style clothes for the convenience of matching and to save money.
Some people don't think too much when buying things.
For example, you see a piece of clothing that you like very much, so you buy it. But when you get home, you find that there are no pants or shoes that can match it.
In the end, I had to buy pants and shoes for it.
As for the workplace OL style, the overall style is actually quite uniform, and they are all formal wear.
It will be less troublesome to match them together, and in many cases it can also show more texture.
After Chen Jieyu sat down on the sofa, Cheng Zhu held the wine pot and asked, "Are you still drinking? Not too much, right?"
"Have a drink." Seeing that he had just poured wine into her glass, Concubine Chen thought about drinking a little more with him.
The two of them drank and chatted.
The counselor opened up a little and was willing to talk more about his own affairs.
She would occasionally ask about Cheng Zhu's family situation.
Unfortunately, Cheng Zhu's family was notoriously biased towards girls over boys. Neighbors, relatives and friends all knew that Xiao Youzi was raised as a princess, and Cheng Zhu was at best a sword-bearing guard in front of the emperor.
This is in stark contrast to Chen Jieyu's family situation.
"Then your sister must be a very lively and lovely little girl." She said softly.
"Of course." Cheng Zhu opened his cell phone and took out a photo of Xiao Youzi to show her.
After showing it to her, he smiled and said, "Actually, one of the original reasons for opening the claw machine store was to open it for my sister."
"Of course, she's eyeing the milk tea shop now."
Chen Jieyu smiled along. Although she felt envious, she had also gotten used to it.
She was born in Sichuan and Chongqing, which is a relatively mild region in the country in terms of favoring boys over girls.
But this phenomenon will definitely exist everywhere.
It’s just that she grew up in the Sichuan and Chongqing areas, and she met few female classmates who were in similar situations as her. On the contrary, she met many girls who were deeply loved by their parents.
Cheng Zhu's cell phone rang at this time, and he picked it up and looked at it.
Unexpectedly, it was a WeChat message from Hu Yan.
It was a new self-portrait she had painted.
Ever since I accidentally sent the self-portrait to Cheng Zhu last night, the two seemed to have returned to their original state.
Whenever she has a new painting, she will still send it to Cheng Zhu and her junior sister as soon as possible.
I was quite averse to this kind of thing last night, purely because my boss had just sent me back to the hotel and right after that I sent him a picture of myself in a bathrobe, which seemed too tempting.
It doesn’t matter today. After all, the boss went on an autumn outing and is currently staying in a B&B outside. He won’t be back today.
"Drawing again? You've been drawing quite frequently lately." Cheng Zhu typed back.
"I've had a burst of inspiration, and I feel like I'm going to make progress again." Hu Yan answered truthfully.
My pen is out of control and inspiration is pouring out.
She returned to the hotel after dinner, but today her junior sister Yue Lingjing was sleeping with her in the hotel, so Yue Lingjing was there too.
She went to the bathroom to draw alone. After all, she felt ashamed to pose strangely in front of her junior sister.
By the way, Hu Yan also suggested that Yue Lingjing be her model, and she would draw a picture of Yue Lingjing as well.
As a result, she rejected it in panic with a red face!
After Cheng Zhu had a brief chat with Hu Yan, he put down his phone.
His feelings at this moment were actually very strange.
Sitting in front of me was a counselor who had drunk quite a bit of alcohol. We were alone in a room with a man and a woman. She had just cried and was in a very fragile emotional state.
Then, I just sat in front of her and looked at the self-portraits sent to me by other girls!
Tsk, it feels a bit like playing with fire!
What’s even more outrageous is that the outfit that Fox Yan is wearing in the comics today is a very loose shirt.
Only one shirt.
It's roughly the feeling when you wake up in the morning and find that the woman next to you has no clean clothes and is wearing a shirt from your closet.
And wasn't Concubine Chen, who was sitting opposite him, also wearing a white silk shirt?
It can be said that each has its own merits.
"What's wrong?" Concubine Chen asked when she saw Cheng Zhu looking up at her clothes.
"Nothing." Cheng Zhu drank the wine in the glass helplessly.
He used this to suppress the fire that was rising in his heart.
You are such a fox. You chose the time very carefully to post the pictures yesterday, which disturbed my sleep. You chose the time even more carefully to post the pictures today!
At this moment, the two heard some noise in the corridor outside the room.
I guess a few boys went back to their rooms.
Some of the boys didn't know whether it was because they had drunk alcohol or because they had naturally loud voices, but their voices could be heard clearly through the door.
"Damn it, it's a rare autumn outing, and I played Sheep for the whole day!"
Cheng Zhu recognized the voice as Zhou Kang.
"Have you passed?"
"Pass it! Even freaking Einstein can't beat this game!"
"I told you to come over and have a drink, but you insisted on arguing with me! You're an idiot!"
Concubine Chen raised her head and looked at Cheng Zhu with a slight smile.
Cheng Zhuze said softly: "Believe it or not, Zhou Kang will continue to play after he lies on the bed."
"I believe it, I believe it." Concubine Chen nodded slightly, but did not refute it.
The two of them roughly guessed that most of the students had returned to their rooms by now.
It's already twelve o'clock in the evening and it's getting colder outside. Many people go upstairs because they are frozen.
Anyway, even if you want to continue playing and drinking, you can do it in the room.
Cheng Zhu continued to pour wine for himself, and then only poured a small half cup for Concubine Chen.
"We are talking here, so people next door can't hear us, right?" Concubine Chen suddenly asked.
Little do you know that when a man and a woman are alone in the same room, your words, which sound like a guilty conscience, will actually further create an ambiguous atmosphere.
Cheng Zhu pointed to the wall in front: "This wall in the living room is connected to the next door."
"It's a long way from the room. If you're worried, why don't we drink inside?"
After saying that, he stood up.
Then, he lowered his head and looked at her.
Concubine Chen had no choice but to stand up and pick up her wine glass.
Cheng Zhu's room is the largest room in the entire homestay and is very spacious inside.
He sat down directly on the carpet beside the bed, then patted the seat beside him, motioning Concubine Chen to sit down.
"With the soundproofing of this room, no one can hear you as long as you don't shout in my room," he said.
"Why am I yelling in your room?" Concubine Chen muttered unhappily, then slowly sat down.
She and Cheng Zhu were not sitting very close to each other, but they were not sitting very far away from each other either.
There is a wine jug and two wine glasses in the middle.
There was a small Bluetooth speaker in the room, so he asked, "Let me play some music."
After connecting the speaker to the Bluetooth via his mobile phone, he opened his playlist and started random play.
The sound of music was flowing in the room, it was Mayday's "Hug".
Cheng Zhu just ordered it casually, but he didn't expect the lyrics of the song were quite appropriate for the occasion.
"[Hide your weariness,
Expressing my embarrassment,
Indulge your wildness,
Find your own tomorrow. 】”
Only the third sentence is not very suitable for the current situation.
Cheng Zhu sat cross-legged on the carpet, leaning against the wall. He didn't look at her, but asked, "You haven't had any difficulties in your life recently, have you?"
"It's nothing. Who doesn't have some difficulties in life?" Concubine Chen asked back.
"I'm fine, everything is going well." That bastard Cheng Zhu started again.
Perhaps because of the effect of alcohol, Chen Jieyu, who was usually serious and stern, gave him a displeased look.
You know what, it's quite charming.
"Have you seen 'Léon: The Professional'?" asked Chen Jieyu.
"Yes, you want to say that line, right? Let me think about it, how did you say it?"
“[Is life always this painful, or is it only like this when you are a child?]” He remembered the line the little girl said to the killer Leon in the movie.
Chen Jieyu replied with a reply from the movie Lyon: "[Always like this]."
"Tsk, as a counselor, you're not mentally competent enough." Cheng Zhu looked at her and said.
"Didn't you tell me that when a person says she can't see her future, she often actually sees her future."
"What the hell! Are you trying to put the blame on me? It's you who have a pessimistic attitude towards life, I just pointed it out." Cheng Zhu's main product is a non-stick pan.
Talking about this, he couldn't help but think of Chen Jieyu's ending in the timeline of her previous life. She attempted suicide and then left the Polytechnic University.
Cheng Zhu felt that at this stage, she would not want to commit suicide.
She just lives a hard and tiring life, but you can still clearly feel that she is struggling.
So, according to her original life trajectory, what caused her to want to give up her life?
Cheng Zhu had no answer to this.
Because in his previous life he had only heard all kinds of messy versions and rumors, and he couldn't tell which ones were true and which ones were rumors.
And in this life, I am a reborn person, and will undoubtedly invisibly change the life trajectory of everyone around me.
So, I’m afraid there won’t be an answer.
Time passed and it was half past twelve.
Although the two of them were drinking very slowly and were mainly chatting, he still noticed that Concubine Chen was probably drunk.
When she picked up the jug and prepared to pour the wine, he raised his hand and pressed the jug.
"Don't fall down, you've drunk too much," he said.
"I, I didn't." She actually didn't want to go back to the room.
She didn't know why, but even if the two of them just sat there quietly without talking, she would feel at ease.
"You've drunk too much." Cheng Zhu repeated, "I told you not to mix alcohol. You haven't drunk much yet, but mixing alcohol can make you drunk easily."
"Where did you learn these weird and twisted ideas?" The counselor turned his head and looked at him, with a hint of surprise in his hazy eyes.
"Teacher, check Baidu to see if what you said is right." She raised a finger, indicating to wait.
Cheng Zhu burst out laughing, thinking that she was a little silly after drinking too much.
They even asked “Teacher, just search on Baidu”!
So he moved his head slightly closer to her and watched her search.
In fact, during the drinking process, the two people sat closer and closer without realizing it.
At this moment, it started to drizzle outside.
The rain was not heavy, but the sound of rain could be heard.
Cheng Zhu really likes listening to the sound of rain. People like him seem to have a special name, called rain addicts.
When Chen Jieyu saw him looking at his phone, she raised her eyes and looked at him, but didn't care.
She opened Baidu on her phone and was about to type: "Will mixing alcohol with other drinks make you more drunk?"
As a result, the phone was snatched away by Cheng Zhu.
Because when Chen Jieyu's finger points to the input box, all previous Baidu search records will pop up.
He saw the top item in the search history at a glance!
"Teacher Chen." Cheng Zhu spoke in a deep voice, rarely calling her Teacher Chen.
"What do you usually search on Baidu?" He looked at her and surveyed her from top to bottom.
"Huh? What?" Concubine Chen didn't react.
Cheng Zhu took her phone and read out his search history word by word:
“Are there any teachers being supported by students?”
When these words came out, it was like a bolt from the blue for Concubine Chen!
In an instant, she felt her heartbeat slow down, her body tensed up, and even the ten fingers on her feet curled up at that moment.
His cheeks, already tinged with alcohol, became even redder, and even his neck was slightly flushed.
"No, it's not what you think." She quickly moved closer to Cheng Zhu to grab the phone, half leaning on him.
He could feel his arms being squeezed.
Chen Jieyu placed her palm directly on his thigh to support her body.
It was only at this moment that she realized that there was actually no point in snatching the phone away. What was the use?
Cheng Zhu looked at Chen Jieyu who rushed over, a smile appeared on his face, and he said meaningfully: "What am I thinking?"
He lowered his head to look at Chen Jieyu who was almost throwing herself into his arms, and looked at the counselor who owed him a lot of debt, and once again rarely called her "Teacher Chen".
"Teacher Chen, do you know what you have to do if you are kept by someone?"
