Chapter 96: A man who wants to eat meat...
The next day, he went out for breakfast with dark circles under his eyes, which shocked Aunt Qin and the others.
Zhou Ci is always planning things in front of others and his emotions are extremely stable.
Aunt Qin has worked in this family for many years and has never seen anything so difficult to deal with that makes her lose sleep.
Several aunts were curious about what happened that night, but no one dared to ask. They could only keep it in their hearts and observe secretly.
When Zhou Ci saw Song Yu coming out, his eyes lit up.
But Song Yu ignored him. She greeted Aunt Qin and the others, then sat opposite Zhou Ci to have breakfast.
After dinner, they went out to work. Before Zhou Ci could say anything, Song Yu left with her bag.
She didn't even glance at Zhou Ci the whole morning, but Zhou Ci knew he had done something wrong and didn't dare to provoke her. He could only stay by her side and wait for her to calm down.
At the end of the day, good news finally arrived from the research center. After so much hard work, there were finally results, and the entire research team was excited.
Song Yu was also happy. She waved her hand and invited everyone in the research center to a luxurious dinner. As the boss, she had to go to liven up the atmosphere.
The technicians at the research center were all young, many of them graduates from prestigious international universities, and those from China were often Song Yu's seniors. They treated her half as their boss and half as a friend. Song Yu didn't have the airs of a boss, so everyone felt at ease in her presence.
After finishing his meal, it was still early. Song Yu decided to teach Zhou Ci a lesson. He didn't want to go back so early, so he called Xia Zhi.
Coincidentally, Xia Zhi also had something on his mind and was about to call her. The two hit it off and made an appointment to meet at a bar.
After ordering a smoked martini, Xia Zhi started the conversation: "Chen Chi beat up my boyfriend."
Song Yu ordered a 12% alcohol mojito. She didn't dare drink casually now, fearing another accident. "Why?"
"I took my boyfriend to a party a few days ago. It was the first time I took him to an event in our circle. Unexpectedly, Chen Chi was there. When he saw my boyfriend, he came up and beat him up without saying a word. I was so angry that I went to help my boyfriend, but Chen Chi hit him even harder and sent my boyfriend to the hospital."
Xia Zhi took a big gulp of wine and said depressedly, "I just don't understand. Doesn't he have a girlfriend? I heard they are getting married soon. Why does he look at my boyfriend with his nose not nose and eyes not eyes? My boyfriend didn't offend him. Now my boyfriend wants to sue him, and he is so arrogant. I don't know what to do."
Song Yu tapped the table and asked slowly, "You don't want your boyfriend to sue Chen Chi? Why? Is it because you still can't let him go?"
"I can't let him go?" Xia Zhi said stubbornly, "It's been ages since we've been together. I heard his girlfriend shows off their affection every day on WeChat Moments. I have to be crazy not to let him go."
"But Chen Chi doesn't seem to have let you go and is living a stable life with his girlfriend." Song Yu took a sip of his mojito. "I'm tired of seeing you two breaking up and getting back together for the past decade or so. If you want to get back together, deal with your relationships first and don't try to cheat on me. As your childhood friend with very positive values, I can't afford to lose face."
Xia Zhi took another sip of wine and said, "I'm getting back together with him? How is that possible?"
Xia Zhi has an aggressive face, good taste in clothes, a hot body, a smoky voice, and is playful and enjoys playing. There is no shortage of men who like to challenge themselves and want to conquer her. "My boyfriend is a good person. Although he hasn't helped me much in my career, he has a plan for everything he does. When I go with him, I don't have to think about anything. It's very relaxing."
Song Yu looked at her without saying a word. After so many years of friendship, he knew her so well that he knew there was more to come after Xia Zhi.
Sure enough, Xia Zhi spoke again: "But, he's too emotionally stable, and it gets boring after a while. He has plans for everything, so there are no surprises in life. We haven't even gotten married yet, but we can already foresee what our future married life will be like, with decades of the same old routine."
"I can tell you're tired of him. After so many choices, you still think your first love is the best."
"I really didn't." Xia Zhi refused to admit it.
"You have it!" Song Yu was too tired to complain. What could she do about the fact that her only best friend was a scumbag?
Fortunately, Xia Zhi is a scumbag and has never done anything like having multiple relationships at the same time. At most, she would secretly go to the bar and order a few male models to drink with her and have some fun without telling her boyfriend.
"Let's not talk about me anymore, let's talk about you." Xia Zhi looked gossipy. "How are things going with your boss Zhou? Are you using the clothes I gave you?"
Speaking of this, Song Yu was still angry: "It didn't work, but he has been seducing me recently."
"Ah? Seduction?" Xia Zhi's eyes sparkled, and her voice doubled in volume before she noticed the gazes from the surrounding booths. She lowered her voice and asked softly, "What's going on? Tell me."
"Nothing." Song Yu felt a little embarrassed. She put down her wine glass and thought for a moment before speaking. "He's been showing off his body in front of me lately. Either he's just got out of the shower, or he's showing off his sweaty muscles while working out. He flirts with me whenever he gets the chance. And I only found out last night that he's been plotting against me since he was very young. He's always been playing nice and clever in front of me."
"I used to think that your Mr. Zhou was too obedient to you. He had no temper at all and was simply too good to you. It turns out that it was all planned for a long time!" Xia Zhi was much more energetic after hearing the gossip. "No wonder when I was in school, my cousin always told me that Zhou Ci had a bad temper and was not easy to deal with. I didn't believe it and thought it was my cousin who was being mean. It turns out it was all true. I had always misunderstood him. This kid is really good at pretending. He pretends in front of you. Knowing that we have a good relationship, he pretends in front of me too. Because I have a thick filter for him, no matter how many bad things I heard about him over the years, I never believed them. I thought it was all someone else's problem."
"Who said he wasn't?" These words touched Song Yu's heart. She felt the same way. "I always treated him as my brother, but he used this identity to scheme against me. I'm so angry just thinking about it now. How could I have been so blind back then that I didn't see that there was something wrong with him."
"Why not? Honey, think about it. Whenever you didn't come home on time, he would call, right?" Xia Zhi explained to her, "I've told you about this before. I said your brother was too timid and didn't dare to be home alone. He insisted that you accompany him. What did you say? Let me think about it..."
"Stop thinking about it!" Song Yu felt ashamed to face anyone and wanted to cover his face and jump into the ground. "Who would have thought that he was so young and had such a heavy mind?"
"But baby, changing the angle is actually a good thing." Xia Zhi said.
"What do you mean?" Song Yu looked up at her.
"He started scheming against you at such a young age, which means he's been fond of you since he was very young. Relationships between men and women are hard to say. Many things don't have a standard definition. Some rejections aren't really rejections, so you need to be more proactive in these cases; other rejections are genuine, and being overly proactive becomes harassment. We still have to analyze each case individually. If we follow the standard completely, and if you don't let me take the initiative, then I really won't take the initiative, then what's the point of talking about love? How can we even have a relationship?" Xia Zhi leaned back in the booth, like a relationship expert. "Even though Mr. Zhou from your family liked you, he pretended to be your younger brother back then, but he never told you his feelings, so it wasn't harassment. You can still get married after all these years apart, which means he still likes you after all these years. Feelings can't withstand the test of time. His love for you has remained unchanged for more than ten years, and this is under the premise that there is no shortage of women pursuing him. It's already a real fairy tale, okay?"
"You talk as if I don't have any men chasing me." Song Yu was a little unconvinced.
"Of course our darlings don't lack men." Xia Zhi laughed, "But whether we admit it or not, in our circle, especially at our level, men have more choices than women. We women have too many things to consider when choosing a mate. We don't dare to look for a Phoenix man for fear of being eaten up by the whole family. Let alone looking for a man with the same conditions as us, even if the conditions are worse than ours, who is short of women around him? The range of choices for a mate is narrow, there are too many bad men, and we have to fulfill the family mission, so we can only choose the tallest among the short ones. People like your Mr. Zhou, who are capable and self-disciplined, are already rarer than endangered species."
"I know everything you said." Song Yu said, "In fact, it is not necessary to get married. It is not impossible to let the father go and keep the son..."
"Stop! Sister!" Xia Zhi noticed Zhou Ci coming and quickly stopped Song Yu from continuing. "Your family already has Mr. Zhou. It's not your turn to kill the father and keep the son. I can consider it."
As Xia Zhi spoke, he poked Song Yu hard under the table. Song Yu finally understood what he meant until his eyes were about to cramp.
"Why are you here?" Song Yu asked Zhou Ci behind him.
"I'm here to take my wife home." Zhou Ci had his coat hanging in his arms. His meticulous elite temperament was incompatible with the dim light of the bar.
"How do you know I'm here?" Song Yu asked again.
"It's not hard to find out."
Zhou Ci took Song Yu's bag, pulled Song Yu up from the booth and held her in his arms, then whispered softly to Xia Zhi across from him, "Sister Xia Zhi, you've been drinking. Should I ask the driver to take you home?"
Xia Zhi shook his head: "No, no, just take Ru Ru back, I can find a designated driver myself."
Don’t hit someone who smiles at you!
Apart from anything else, Zhou Ci had always been polite to Xia Zhi over the years, never once getting angry with her, and had been very helpful to her career. The key point was that he was also incredibly kind to Song Yu. Xia Zhi truly felt that Zhou Ci was someone she could get along with.
As for how he treats others, Xia Zhi has no right to care. Anyway, I would rather my friend die than die.
Zhou Ci said, "Let my driver take you back! You are my wife's best friend and my sister Xia Zhi. I can't afford anything that happens to you."
Whoever said that Mr. Zhou, the famous boss in City B, is ruthless and doesn't talk much, that's because he is worthless. Look how considerate his words are. He took care of the emotions of all parties and left no one with any fault to find.
Song Yu also said: "Yes, Xia Xia, you come with us. You've been drinking, and I'm worried about you going back alone."
"Alright, alright! I can't resist you." Xia Zhi stood up from the booth and picked up his bag. "I haven't had enough to drink yet. I wanted to go somewhere else for a few more drinks, but since you two are worried, I won't drink anymore. Let's go home!"
Zhou Ci came in a driver's car. Xia Zhi didn't drive because she wanted to drink, so she took Song Yu's car.
It was easy to arrange the return trip. Zhou Ci drove Song Yu home in his car, and Xia Zhi took Song Yu's car and was taken home by Zhou Ci's driver.
Along the way, Song Yu didn't say a word and just buried his head in playing with his phone.
Zhou Ci took the time to observe her while driving. Song Yu remained silent. If he wanted to break the deadlock, he had to take the initiative himself. "Are you still angry?"
"No." Song Yu replied coldly.
"Sister, can I apologize to you?" Zhou Ci's tone was sincere. The relationship between the two had finally made great progress. He didn't want to be estranged from Song Yu because of anything, not even for a day.
Song Yu put down his phone and looked sideways at him: "Then where did you go wrong?"
"My mistake was that I plotted against my sister because I liked her too much. It's all my fault that I liked her too much and wanted to be with her too much."
Song Yu was speechless: "Are you admitting your mistake?" Isn't this really an opportunity to confess?
Zhou Ci admitted his mistake with a good attitude, and did not forget to take the opportunity to make himself more prominent: "Sister is so outstanding, what's wrong with me liking her? But if she said she was wrong, then I am wrong."
No matter how outstanding a woman is, she likes this kind of unconcealed straight talk.
Song Yu had to admit that she was pleased by Zhou Ci's humble attitude, and the anger and shame in her heart because she felt that she was too stupid disappeared.
However, this behavior cannot encourage people to express their views when it is time to do so. “Will this not happen again?”
Zhou Ci quickly assured: "I won't dare to do it again."
Song Yu finally let him go: "Then I forgive you."
The car drove into the basement, Zhou Ci parked the car, and unbuckled the seat belt with a "click". He turned his head and said, "Thank you, sister. As a thank you, I have a gift for you."
Song Yu unbuckled his seatbelt, prepared to get out of the car with his phone in hand, and asked casually, "What gift?"
Zhou Ci leaned over, pressed Song Yu against the car window, held her face and kissed her deeply: "My first kiss today."
The warm lips silenced Song Yu's protests. The car window reflected their intertwined hands. When Song Yu's button was undone to the third one, it suddenly fell apart...
The scent of cedar exploded in the air, and Zhou Ci's tie hung on the back of Song Yu's hand like a burning flame.
After a long time, Song Yu was almost out of breath, and Zhou Ci let her go.
The tip of his tongue still refused to leave, lingering on her face until Song Yu was completely distracted, then he asked, "Sister, can I sleep with you tonight?"
Men who want to eat meat must seize every opportunity.
And he had been planning this for many years.
