Chapter 46: I’m not scared at all by you…
"Sister, when did you come?" Zhou Ci's eyes were smiling, and his voice was obedient. "Why didn't you call me? I could have come to pick you up."
"I can walk these few steps with my eyes closed, so why would I need you to pick me up?" Song Yu patted his shoulder. "That's great! I just saw you talking to someone, and I suddenly felt that you've become so amazing. I really didn't realize it before. You handle interpersonal relationships so well, too. I'm so proud of you."
Being praised by Song Yu in front of Xia Zhi, Zhou Ci felt a little embarrassed. The tips of his ears turned red. "Then I have to become even more powerful so that I can be relied upon by my sister in the future."
After talking to Song Yu, Zhou Ci turned his gaze to Xia Zhi and greeted her politely and respectfully, "Sister Xia Zhi, good evening. It's been a while since I last saw you at my house. When you have time, I'll make you your favorite pork chops."
"Haha, good evening, Ah Ci. It's been a while since we last met. I've been too busy lately. When I have time, Sister Xia Zhi will go eat the pork chops you make. They're the best."
"Then Sister Xiazhi must call me before you come so I can go buy groceries in advance. The pork chops need to be bought fresh; they taste better when they're fresh."
Zhou Ci explained to Xia Zhi very seriously that he was very patient with Song Yu's friends, especially his best friend like Xia Zhi, and tried his best to please him, winning him over and playing the strategy of attacking from afar and making friends nearby very well.
This led to a result that Song Yu's good friends of the opposite sex all hated him and often said bad things about him in front of Song Yu; but Song Yu's friends of the same sex all liked him very much and envied Song Yu for having such a well-behaved brother. If someone attacked him, they would take the initiative to stand up for him and fight back for him.
Xia Zhi looked at Zhou Ci and smiled like an aunt, "Sister Xia Zhi, remember this!" This brother from another family really won her heart. The more she looked at him, the more she liked him, and the more she wanted one.
"Please!" Xia Zhi lay on top of Song Yu and whispered in her ear: "Such an obedient brother, I also want one. Ru Ru, tell me, where did you find him? I'll go look for him too, and see if I can find a good brother too."
"Get lost!" Song Yu scolded her with a smile, "Even if you really picked it up, wouldn't you have to raise it? Can you wait for more than ten years?"
Xia Zhi thought about it seriously, and finally shook his head in discouragement, "It seems impossible! I'm impatient and can't wait that long."
"You can't eat hot tofu in a hurry. Besides, do you think that the one you picked up must be like my brother? My brother is a rare species, do you understand?"
"I understand! I understand!" Xia Zhi responded with gritted teeth, "Ru Ru, what kind of good fortune do you have? I admit, I'm jealous. Give me half of Ah Ci! I want to be Ah Ci's half sister."
"That's fine with me." Song Yu smiled, "As long as my brother has no objection."
Xia Zhi looked at Zhou Ci eagerly, "Ah Ci, did you hear that? Ru Ru gave me half of you. From now on, you will follow Sister Xia Zhi, live in Sister Xia Zhi's house, and cook for Sister Xia Zhi, okay?"
"Not very good." Zhou Ci shook his head.
"Why?" Xia Zhi opened his eyes wide and said angrily, "Am I not good to you? I am much more considerate than Ru Ru, who is so heartless. Ah Ci, how dare you say that I am not good?"
"Sister Xia Zhi, you misunderstood." Zhou Ci explained, "It's fine for me to stay at your house, but will it be inconvenient for you? Your boyfriend probably doesn't want to have a third wheel in the house."
He spoke very seriously. His big, baby-like eyes and long, straight eyelashes, coupled with a mischievous smile on his face, gave him a naughty and somewhat mischievous feeling. Song Yu thought he was so handsome that he couldn't help but keep looking at him.
Noticing her gaze, Zhou Ci turned his head, his big eyes blinking, and smiled at Song Yu.
He has such a strong youthful vibe, his eyes are empty, pure and clean, making people only think of the beauty of this world.
At this moment, Song Yu suddenly felt as if her heart had been struck by something, and the beating was no longer her own. She covered her chest with her right hand, as if trying to suppress it, and raised her head with a confused look on her face, a little confused about what was wrong with her.
Zhou Ci's attention was all on her, always paying attention to her situation. Seeing her frown, he hurriedly asked, "Sister, what's wrong with you?"
"It's okay." Song Yu put down his hand, "It's okay now."
Song Yu was indeed a little scared just now. She planned to take some time to go to the hospital for a check-up to see if there was anything wrong with her heart. Why did it suddenly beat so fast? She almost couldn't breathe.
She saw many people walking towards the racetrack. Those who were playing at the swimming pool were also bringing their female companions with them. Even Zhang Zeyu, who was kissing me without knowing where his cat was, came out with his girlfriend. She said to Zhou Ci and Xia Zhi, "The race organized by Gao Chi should be about to start. Should we go and take a look?"
"Baby, I'm so sorry, I have to go." Xia Zhi raised the phone in his hand and said apologetically, "The bastard is here to pick me up. He's already at the foot of the mountain. I can't go with you to watch the race."
Song Yu was a little disappointed, "You're such a spoiler!"
Xia Zhi chuckled, "You were the one who told me to be thick-skinned and beg for forgiveness from that bastard. Now he doesn't need me to be thick-skinned and beg for forgiveness, but I really don't dare to make him angry now. I'm still a criminal, so I have to humble myself and be a good boy for now. I did do something wrong, and that bastard has been wronged. I have to comfort him more, he's still feeling awkward!"
"Now that you've said that, how can I still keep you here?" Song Yu sighed, "Go away! Go away now! Don't get in my way. I have my brother by my side, so you're no different."
Xia Zhi whispered in her ear, in a voice only the two of them could hear: "Baby, there's a difference between having your brother accompany you and having a man accompany you." She blinked at her, "You should pay attention to your own affairs. Don't be a virgin in your twenties. You should at least taste the taste of a man, right? I tell you, men are fun. Once you try it, you will know I'm not lying to you. I'm also keeping an eye on this for you, and you should pay attention to it yourself. Today's situation is an opportunity. If there is someone you like, don't refuse, try to get in touch with him first. Who is our Ru Ru? A great beauty. As long as you have the heart, just a glance, a little finger, any man would pounce on you."
After she finished speaking, she distanced herself from Song Yu and winked at Zhou Ci, "Sister is leaving. See you later!"
Zhou Ci nodded and said, "Have a safe trip, Sister Xia Zhi. I will take good care of her, don't worry."
"I have nothing to worry about when you do things."
"Stop talking too much, hurry up and go away." Song Yu started to drive people away.
"Let's go." Xia Zhi waved his hand and left in a very elegant manner.
After walking two steps, Xia Zhi remembered something and walked back, saying to Zhou Ci, "Oh, Ah Ci, when your sister goes to the racetrack, try not to be with her. Let her be alone."
"Why?" Zhou Ci asked, "If I'm not with my sister, there will definitely be a lot of people coming to disturb her from watching the game."
"Just let them bother your sister."
The smile on Zhou Ci's face faltered for a moment, "What does Sister Xia Zhi mean? I don't quite understand."
"She's really just a kid, she doesn't understand anything." Xia Zhi laughed, then said earnestly, "Your sister is already so old, but she hasn't even had a boyfriend yet. This is totally unacceptable in our circle. Today is such a good opportunity, don't bother your sister. Let her make more friends of the opposite sex and expand her circle of friends. If she expands a few times, there will always be someone she likes."
"What if we still can't find it after expanding it several times?" Zhou Ci asked.
"How could it be impossible not to find someone? As long as there are enough people of the opposite sex in your circle of friends, quantitative changes will lead to qualitative changes, and that person will always appear. It's a matter of probability. Ah Ci, what's with that expression on your face? Don't you believe it? Don't be unconvinced. This is scientifically based."
Xia Zhi was about to have a serious discussion with Zhou Ci about the probability problem, but her cell phone rang. After answering the call, she didn't bother to change Zhou Ci's ideas. She said goodbye to them and left in a hurry. This time she really left and never came back.
After watching Xia Zhi get into Chen Chi's car, Song Yu turned around and said to Zhou Ci, "Let's go too! Gao Chi and his team are really popular with racing cars. They've brought together enthusiasts from all over the world. Let's go and take a look."
While walking slowly in line with Song Yu's steps, Zhou Ci asked, "What do you think, sister?"
Song Yu didn't know what he was asking, so he asked, "What?"
"Sister, do you think so too? You don't want to stand with me at the racetrack because you want to find a boyfriend there and don't want me to bother you?" Zhou Ci stared at Song Yu, his eyes a little intimidating. "Is that what you think, sister?"
Song Yu felt a little guilty when he looked at her. She didn't know why she felt guilty, but she just couldn't meet his eyes and speak. "Xia Xia is right. I'm already this old. It's time for me to find a boyfriend."
She mustered up the courage to look at Zhou Ci and said, "Little friend, I'll find you a brother-in-law, so that you'll have someone to love you." She also knew that the opposite sex around her didn't get along well with Zhou Ci, so she added, "Don't worry, I will definitely find someone you can get along with, and I will definitely not find someone you can't get along with, okay?"
Zhou Ci was unusually silent, lowering his head and not saying anything, just following her silently.
The atmosphere suddenly became strange. Song Yu wanted to laugh to ease the atmosphere, but he couldn't. Song Yu knew with his toes that Zhou Ci was unhappy.
She didn't think much of it, but she felt that close siblings would be very repulsed by any intimacy around the older or younger brother. It was like their sister or brother had been snatched away by a stranger who was closer to them than they were.
She had also seen this kind of situation among siblings who had a good relationship among her relatives, but later the sister and brother had their own families and children. When they thought about these things again, they could talk about them as a joke and share them with their family.
"Little boy, don't you trust me? Don't you believe I'll find you a brother-in-law who'll treat you well?"
"No." Zhou Ci finally spoke, "Sister, you can do whatever you want. I respect your decision."
The racetrack wasn't far away, and the two of them arrived while talking. At the entrance, Zhou Ci said to Song Yu, "I won't go in with you, sister. You go in first, and I'll go in later."
Seeing Zhou Ci like this, Song Yu suddenly felt a little sad, but she also knew that this was only temporary, and that they would both have their own families and lives in the future, so she didn't say much, "Okay, then sister will go in first, and you can come back later."
Zhou Ci's fists, hidden in his trouser pockets, suddenly clenched. He hid the violence swirling in his eyes, raised his head, and said calmly to Song Yu, "Okay."
Song Yu went in, and Zhou Ci watched her go in.
As soon as she entered, before she could find a place to sit down and watch the game, she was surrounded by a group of men.
The group of men in front of her were like a group of male peacocks with their feathers spread out, acting pretentiously and vying with each other to show off their feathers to her.
She is very popular. Zhou Ci has always known that many people, both men and women, like her.
There are many things and many people in her world, and he, Zhou Ci, is just a very small one among them. He occupies a small position with the affection earned through scheming and time. Many people and things are more important than him, Zhou Ci.
He has grown up to this age, and most of the resources he has obtained are obtained by his own ability. He is such a domineering person. His heart is full of his sister, so how could he be satisfied with only this little place in his sister's heart?
He doesn't share what he wants with others, nor does he allow others to refuse him. He just wants it all.
Zhou Ci watched coldly from a distance, watching his sister chatting and laughing among the men. The curve of her smile was just right, and her body language was a little seductive. It was all precisely calculated. That was a woman's trick to deal with men.
No man could resist her deliberate charm, not even him; she was completely different with these men than she was with him.
When she was with him, she was always the elder sister, and he was always the younger brother. An elder sister can care for and love her younger brother, but she can never love him.
A sister will not fall in love with her brother.
He didn't want to be this damn maddening brother, he wanted to be her man, her only man.
A woman was about to go in and saw that he was handsome, so she was about to come over to talk to him. But Zhou Ci didn't wait for her to take any action. He gave her a cold look. The woman was almost scared to death and ran away in three or two steps.
She was looking forward to a romantic encounter with a handsome guy, but she didn't dare to do something like that, as he looked crazy and didn't seem to care about human lives, for fear of getting into trouble.
Zhou Ci stood there for a while before walking in.
Song Yu entered the racetrack, and his WeChat circle of friends expanded again. Single Song Yu is so attractive, and it's rare that he doesn't have a protector around him. Many people really want to try their luck.
In the past two years, no one dared to do anything, mainly because they hadn't figured out what was going on between Shen Zhiyan and her. In the past two years, seeing that the two of them went their separate ways and no longer had any contact, their original wait-and-see attitude turned into an eagerness to take action.
As soon as they heard that Song Yu was coming to this game, all those who had ideas came and waited for this occasion to create an opportunity to get to know each other, and maybe there would be an opportunity for the next step.
Song Yu reached out and took the bottle of water the man handed her. She held it in her hand but didn't drink it. However, she was still very grateful for his kindness. "Thank you!"
The man wanted to talk to her, but seeing that Song Yu's attention was drawn to the game, he stopped talking and stayed by her side to watch the game with her.
Song Yu watched and suddenly felt something was wrong. Why did the driver of the red supercar number 8 look so much like her child? But she never knew her child could race cars, she had never even heard of it.
Her eyesight was always good, but now she was a little uncertain.
There happened to be a female friend sitting in the front row who also knew Zhou Ci. Song Yu patted her on the back and asked, "Sangsang, can you help me check number 8? Is it Zhou Ci?"
Sangsang looked over and thought it looked like Zhou Ci. "I think it looks like him too, but we're still a little far away, so I can't be sure. Why don't you call and ask?"
Song Yu took out his phone and called Zhou Ci. The phone rang for a long time before someone picked it up. But it wasn't Zhou Ci's voice: "Who is this? Song Yu? Zhou Ci didn't bring his phone with him, so he gave it to me."
Song Yu heard his voice was very stiff, but he didn't care. He just asked: "Is Zhou Ci on the court? He is number 8?"
"Yeah, he stole my car, threw my phone to me and then went on stage. I want to play too!"
"But he doesn't know how to race!" Song Yu was anxious. "He rarely even drives a car, let alone races. You should go find him quickly. He is playing with his life." After she said that, she stood up from her seat and rushed out anxiously.
"Ah? Don't scare me. I gave him the car because he said he could." The man on the other end was also anxious.
Song Yu ran to the fence and walked along it towards the starting point of the race, waving at Zhou Ci as he walked, "Little boy, Zhou Ci, come back here!"
The scene was very noisy, with music and talking. Song Yu's voice was drowned out by the noise, but Zhou Ci still noticed her and looked towards her.
Song Yu's face lit up with joy, and he waved his arms even faster, "Zhou Ci, Zhou Ci, come back quickly. Don't go to the competition. It's very dangerous."
Zhou Ci looked at Song Yu steadily for a long time before he looked away. He put on the hat in his arms, stepped into the car and closed the door.
The game has begun.
Before Song Yu could react, car No. 8 took the lead and flew out. At that speed, it was even faster than Gao Chi's. Song Yu was so scared that he couldn't even blink.
She leaned on the railing, her eyes fixed on car number 8. At this moment, she didn't care whether to catch a man or not. She was thinking about whether to call an ambulance first.
The first game ended with Song Yu feeling nervous and depressed. If it hadn't ended, Song Yu felt that his heart would have problems.
She really didn't know that Zhou Ci could race cars, and that he was so skilled.
But he was too bold. His racing style was simply reckless. There were several times when the situation was very dangerous. The two of them were on a curve and refused to give in to each other. Zhou Ci just crossed over. He didn't care about his life, but the other person cherished his life. He couldn't be more ruthless than him, so he could only give in.
Zhou Ci did win first place, but Song Yu was not happy. The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. During the preparation for the second game, she rushed forward angrily.
"Are you crazy?" This was the first time Song Yu got so angry at Zhou Ci. "Are you going to die?"
Zhou Ci's head was covered in sweat, and he held the helmet in his hands. He lowered his head and said nothing. After a long time, he asked, "Is my sister worried?"
Song Yu said unhappily, "Yes, I'm worried. You scared me so much that my heart almost jumped out of my chest."
"Are you afraid that I'll get hurt? Will you be sad if I die?"
"Pfft! We'll both live to be a hundred years old."
Zhou Ci looked up at her and said, "I like the feeling that my sister cares about me, even if it's in this way. It's really happy. I'm so happy."
Song Yu was furious: "You are really crazy!" She angrily stepped forward and snatched the helmet from Zhou Ci's hand, saying bitterly: "If you dare not take your life seriously next time, I will break your legs."
"Then I'll hand my life over to you, sister. Please keep it safe for me." Zhou Ci half-knelt down in front of her, put his sweaty face in front of Song Yu, and said coquettishly, "It's so hot, sister, can you wipe the sweat off me?"
"You have hands, too." Song Yu was still angry.
"But I just want my sister to help me wipe it." Zhou Ci said shamelessly, "After all, my sister is my sister, and I am her brother."
"I owe you!" Song Yu finally moved, took out a handkerchief from her bag and wiped Zhou Ci's sweat.
Zhou Ci really likes moments like this, where he can stare at his sister closely and openly without letting her doubt his motives.
There will be more and more opportunities like this in the future, and even if there are none, he will create them.
After wiping the sweat off his face, Zhou Ci stood up straight. "Sister, I'll listen to you. I won't play in the next match. Go back quickly. Don't you still need to help me find my brother-in-law? I can't delay you."
Song Yu glared at him, "Are you trying to piss me off on purpose?"
Zhou Ci blinked his eyes, looking very innocent, "No."
Song Yu sighed, "Forget it, I won't look for him today." She glared at Zhou Ci again, her teeth itching, "You scared me so much that I've completely lost the mood to pick up men."
Zhou Ci couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth, "Sister, let's go back then? There's nothing fun here."
"Aren't you also going to promote your company's drones? You haven't been here long, and you've only just met a few people? Let's stay a little longer. At least you can get to know more people. I can introduce you to some people."
"No, we don't lack funds for drones. There are many people who want to give me money. It depends on whether I want it or not."
Zhou Ci was anxious to take Song Yu away. There were too many people in this damn place who had ill intentions towards his sister. He was annoyed and just wanted to go home quickly and hide his sister so that no one else could covet her.
"Then I have to say hello to Gao Chi. He's the host. It's not polite to just leave without saying hello."
"Just leave him a WeChat. He's racing and might not have time to answer the phone." Zhou Ci pulled Song Yu and left. "It's too late, sister, let's go back and rest early."
Song Yu was pulled away by him. He pulled out one hand to send a message to Gao Chi, and then went back with Zhou Ci.
On the way back in the car, Song Yu thought about the conversation with Xia Zhi. She looked back and forth at Zhou Ci several times, wondering whether what Xia Zhi said was credible and whether she should ask directly.
Zhou Ci felt uneasy when she looked at him, "Sister, what are you looking at?"
"Little friend, I have something to ask you, but first you have to promise not to be angry."
"Just ask, sister. No matter what you ask, I won't be angry with you."
"Then I'll ask directly, do you dislike women and prefer men?"
Song Yu's words were too straightforward. Fortunately, this was not the road on the edge of the cliff, otherwise his life would be in danger. However, Zhou Ci was still shocked by Song Yu's words and slammed on the brakes. Song Yu was caught off guard and rushed forward.
Zhou Ci parked the car and looked at Song Yu with a puzzled expression: "Why do you think so, sister?"
"I'm worried that you'll be influenced by your parents." Zhou Ci's reaction was a bit exaggerated. Song Yu couldn't ask any more questions, so he bit the bullet and asked the last sentence: "So you are?"
"No!" Zhou Ci declared solemnly, his expression serious: "Sister, my sexual orientation is normal. I consider myself a straight man and I don't like men."
"I misunderstood you. I'm worried about you." Song Yu said embarrassedly, "Then can you bring a girlfriend back to me as soon as possible? I don't expect to have a sister-in-law, but it would be nice to have a female friend come home for dinner."
"Sister, I don't want to think about these things for now." Taking this opportunity, Zhou Ci decided to make things clear with Song Yu to prevent her from trying to match him up with someone else in the future. "My career isn't successful yet, and my family isn't peaceful. Even if I find someone, it will only make the other person suffer."
Song Yu thought about it and could understand Zhou Ci's difficulties. His father was an irresponsible scumbag. He had suffered so much and didn't want to become such a person in the future and make others suffer the same pain as him.
She was just worried that Zhou Ci didn't like women. Since Zhou Ci had a normal sexual orientation, Song Yu didn't have to worry about it.
Song Yu got home quite late that day, and went to bed after taking a shower. He left his cell phone in the living room and forgot to take it back to his room, so he didn't hear the ringtone of the phone receiving a text message.
After Zhou Ci in the living room read this text message, he deleted it again, leaving no trace of its existence to the other party.
What is fair competition?
Zhou Ci did not think that he possessed this kind of demeanor. In his dictionary, there was no such thing as fairness.
Whatever you want, you have to fight for it yourself. It doesn’t matter if you use tricks. Whatever you get is yours. If you can’t get it but you want it very much, then you should work harder to get it.
