Chapter 73 Why Don’t You Answer the Phone?
The white sand beach outside the terrace turned pink, and the beach composed of fine ice crystals reflected a beautiful luster under the sun.
This is another island.
Two weeks ago.
Ming Zheng brought her here and told her to stay well and wait for her brother to pick her up. She and Zhou Huaiyuan returned to the country to handle official business.
I still remember that morning, Zhou Huaiyuan patted her head and teased her.
"Zhao Zhao, eat less. Look at you, you're like a pig."
Ming Nu Tu walked out speechlessly, "How can you say that to your daughter? Hurry up and leave."
"Hey, hey, hey." Zhou Huaiyuan hurriedly followed and took her bag with a smile.
Looking at the backs of the two people leaving, his father hugged Ming Nutu and kissed her on the face, and Ming Zhao silently looked away.
However, as the days passed, Zhou Tingyun never came.
The number of times he took the initiative to call her gradually decreased, and only when she suggested going back on her own would he coax her in a gentle voice and ask her to wait a little longer.
Ming Zhao guessed that the matter was probably very tricky and didn't want to disturb him too much, so he slowed down and took a serious vacation.
But for some reason, there was a problem with the signal tower on the island, and maintenance personnel are dealing with it urgently.
Ming Zhao was extremely anxious, while Lin Muqing was there to comfort her.
"Don't worry, Zhao Zhao. If your brother can't contact you, he will come directly here."
After hearing him say this, Ming Zhao relaxed a little.
Not in the mood to do anything else, she occasionally sat on the steps, propping up her chin and watching the maintenance workers work.
Or they can actively offer drinks and snacks to cheer them on in their work.
Until today, I have been repairing it for more than a week and there is still no improvement.
Gentle waves gently lap against the shore, and hermit crabs slowly crawl around with their beautiful shells on their backs.
Ming Zhao has thought things through clearly these days.
No matter what the future holds, at least at this moment, she will not choose to separate from Zhou Tingyun.
She secretly decided that when Zhou Tingyun came, she would give him a surprise and tell him that her mother had agreed to them being together.
Lin Muqing sat next to her and listened to her talk about the two of them. At first, she was also very surprised.
It wasn't until certain moments came together in my mind that I suddenly realized.
No wonder... No wonder every time I look into Zhou Tingyun's eyes, I feel inexplicably creepy.
It turns out that the 21-year-old girlfriend he was talking about was Ming Zhao...
It's a bit unexpected, but I think it should be like this.
After all, he felt at the time that the scene of Zhou Tingyun trying to coax others was too hard to imagine.
Lin Muqing always supported Ming Zhao's choices without hesitation, and now she praised her with a smile, "I knew Zhao Zhao was always brave."
Hearing him say this, Mingzhao felt a little guilty, and she solemnly apologized to him for using him to provoke Zhou Tingyun.
Lin Muqing was surprised instead.
"Zhao Zhao is so smart, she actually came up with this idea."
The tone was very sincere.
“…” No matter how thick-skinned he was, Ming Zhao couldn’t help but feel his cheeks getting hot, and his face turned red all the way to his ears.
Just as I was about to say something, I suddenly felt an inexplicably familiar chill run up my spine.
My body shuddered involuntarily.
She suddenly turned around to look.
But all I saw was the empty sky and earth, with seagulls flying by.
Is it an illusion?
…
In the evening, Mingzhao brought back three big coconuts with great difficulty.
She walked into the villa, put it on the table, and called Lin Muqing and Auntie to come and eat coconut.
But no one responded.
"Brother Mu Qing?" Ming Zhao was a little surprised. He raised his voice and called out again, "Aunt Chen?"
It was very quiet.
The lights were on, but no one was home.
Going out to buy something?
Ming Zhao felt a little strange, but didn't think much about it and decided to go to the bathroom to take a shower first.
Only then did I realize that my aunt had thoughtfully prepared pajamas and placed them inside.
There was a sound of water rushing down, and soon, foam flowed into the floor drain.
Turn off the shower.
Not long after, Ming Zhao came out.
When I looked up, I was almost shocked to death.
The tall man sat beside her bed, his deep eyes blurred in the darkness, looking at her quietly.
Ming Zhao raised his hand and pinched his face.
"hiss……"
it hurts.
I wasn't dreaming.
When she realized what was happening, surprise suddenly filled her eyes.
"elder brother?!"
She jumped forward excitedly, a smile overflowing from her bright eyes, "You are finally done."
There was deep joy in his words.
Zhou Tingyun took advantage of the situation and hugged her, holding her and sitting her on his lap. He let her kiss him on the face, but his expression was cold.
"Why didn't you answer the phone?" he asked.
Ming Zhao quickly explained, "I didn't ignore the call, brother, it's just that the signal tower here is broken."
He stared at her for a long time, as if observing whether she was lying.
Then he asked:
"Why didn't you tell me you were leaving the villa?"
The calm tone seems peaceful, but it suppresses a turbulent undercurrent.
Ming Zhao vaguely sensed something was wrong and was a little dumbfounded. "I mentioned it before, and you even replied to me."
He quickly reached for his phone, flipped through the records, and handed it to him.
"Mommy said you were worried I'd get bored staying there for too long, so you asked her to take me to this island with a pink sand beach."
On the screen was a picture of the seaside that Ming Zhaofa had posted.
[How did you know about such a beautiful place? Zhou Tingyun, you're too much! Have you been here secretly with someone before?!]
He glanced at the time and saw that he had just gotten some clues about Zhou Huaiyuan and was in a state of confusion.
In addition, the beaches were basically the same, so he didn't notice the pink sand that was exposed in a corner, and thought Ming Zhao was playing some role-playing game again.
The thoughts in his mind gradually became clearer, and Zhou Tingyun understood.
Ming Zheng wanted to expose Zhou Huaiyuan, so naturally she couldn't let Ming Zhao go back with her.
But they were worried that she would see the news about her father and something might happen if she was alone, so they placed her on a private island with only one signal tower, and turned off the tower.
Another point is that he deliberately prevented Ming Zhao from meeting him.
"Sorry," Zhou Tingyun said slowly, his voice gentle, "I was busy and forgot."
He lowered his head and buried it in the crook of her neck, breathing heavily.
The humid water vapor mixed with the fragrance of shower gel made him temporarily forget the image of Ming Zhao blushing in front of Lin Muqing, and his mood slowly calmed down.
Ming Zhao didn't care about the strangeness in his words, but was eager to tell him something he had been thinking about for a long time.
The girl who is best at hitting the ball straight is now choosing her words carefully and cautiously.
She stammered through a long speech.
"I don't know what you think, but Mommy said she agrees with us being together."
He paused, then mustered up the courage to continue.
"If you like, we will all be your family from now on."
His tone was serious and solemn, and adorable as hell.
Zhou Tingyun's heart sank.
