Chapter 94 Water Ghost 17
Cheng He has a strong physique and rarely catches a cold or fever, but his voice on the other end of the phone was as hoarse as if filled with sand. Yu Jiao's answering of the call ignited his hope, and he began to talk about their beautiful past.
The tone was as gentle as ever, with a hint of pleading.
Yu Jiao leaned against the wall. When she heard him say "I love you", her expression changed instantly. She tried her best to endure it, but still raised the corners of her mouth in sarcasm.
Can he say love to his girlfriend while at the same time coaxing other women into doing intimate acts that only lovers can do?
From this sentence on, Yu Jiao couldn't concentrate.
She thought that the two of them should have a formal breakup.
The breakup text messages were more due to the pressure from Zhou Qingyan. Her attitude was never clearly stated. She definitely wanted to break up, but years of love brought out more resentment and reluctance.
Some people can be decisive and efficient when solving problems, but some people do not have the grace and ability of the former, and are often entangled and dragging their feet. Yu Jiao belongs to the latter. When things happen, she even wants to retreat into her shell, not contact anyone, and digest the problems silently. When the day comes that the shell can no longer protect her, she will come up with a solution.
In fact, it is handing the initiative to the other party.
Cheng He continued speaking, his tone tinged with eager anticipation. "The company's currently experiencing problems. We're struggling to make ends meet. I'll soon be broke... Xiaojiao, this is my punishment for not controlling myself. You know, the company's original founder was Zhou Qingyan, and now that it's facing bankruptcy, I'll be following him. Wait a few years, and I'll create a better life for you... Okay?"
Yu Jiao stared at the shoe surface in a daze.
Her silence finally made Cheng He panic. He didn't even hear the boarding information. He held the phone tightly and said anxiously: "I can't leave you. I won't break up with you. We are getting married soon... My parents like you very much. Your sister... Yes, didn't you say that we would get married when your sister comes back next year? I promised Yu Mo that I would protect and take care of you, Xiaojiao... Can you give me another chance..."
There was a long silence.
Cheng He held his breath opposite, beads of sweat falling from his forehead, soaking his messy clothes. The image of Yu Jiao replayed in his mind, with her soft black hair tied into a high ponytail, revealing a full and round forehead, and starry eyes under her eyebrows. Just by smiling at him, his chest would inevitably make a panic-stricken sound. He was obviously a calm person, but every time in front of Yu Jiao, he was like a young boy.
When having sex with Shi Wanning, he panicked and even threatened Shi Wanning. Fortunately, she was a timid person and waited for a few days for the matter to pass. However, he became restless. Aren't all men like this?
As long as he loves Yu Jiao, the person who will accompany him throughout his life is Yu Jiao, and other people are just entertainment on the long journey of life. Isn't it okay for him to be careful not to be discovered?
The truth will come out sooner or later.
The sound of Cheng He's heartbeat could be clearly heard in his ears, so violent and so loud, as if he had a premonition that something bad was about to happen. He was in a state of slightly crazy tension, and veins appeared on the back of his hand that was holding the phone.
He didn't even dare to breathe, for fear that the sound would affect Yu Jiao's decision.
Yu Jiao's thoughts were drawn to the black fog spreading from the balcony. The thick black fog was like sticky silk spit out by a spider, and it actually enveloped the entire house. She just touched it inadvertently, and the black fog immediately entangled her fingertips. In her ears was the sound of Cheng He's rapid and anxious breathing -
It's not unbearable.
Life is not something that cannot be lived without anyone.
Even though they had been in love for many years, apart from the grief and suffocation when she heard the news, didn't she later develop feelings under Zhou Qingyan's comfort?
She didn't know how many girlfriends Zhou Qingyan had in his life. His kissing skills were so good that she couldn't resist him. When she thought of Zhou Qingyan and the several intimate acts he had done with her while he was staying in her house these days, the anger of betrayal became much lighter.
Cheng He could say he loved her while sleeping with other women.
Why can't she do it?
Yu Jiao suddenly pinched the ball of black mist. The cool, thick and ominous black mist had no resistance in her palm. She subdued it with a little force, revealing the struggle of a prey before being caught. Then it slowly surged in her palm, circled her wrist, and stuck to her as if to please her.
The dejection on her face disappeared, and she said to the man who once said he would take care of her for the rest of her life, "No,"
"Cheng He, our relationship ended the day you cheated on me. It was you who caused it. You kept saying you wanted to marry me, but if you wanted that much, how could you do such a disgusting thing... Cheng He, I really don't want to see you again. It's disgusting, I want to vomit."
Cheng He's face was pale, and his bloodless lips trembled a few times: "Xiao Jiao... I was drunk that day, and I didn't know what I was doing. If you think I'm disgusting, I'll take a shower and wash myself clean, okay?"
Yu Jiao heard the humble plea from the other side and smiled viciously: "Do you really want to marry me?"
Cheng He's eyes flashed with hope: "Yes..."
Yu Jiao exhaled: "Okay——"
Then he said, "Then tell me how many times you've done it with Shi Wanning and other women. I want you to do it all back to me. If you really want to continue to marry me, then be prepared to catch you in adultery in the bridal chamber!"
Cheng He's eyes were bloodshot: "Xiao Jiao... don't be like this."
The only response he got was the sound of the phone being disconnected.
He stood blankly in the airport waiting room, bewildered and at a loss as to what was wrong.
…
Yu Jiao said those words just to vent her anger. Men are probably selfish. What happened to them is reasonable and common, but once it happens to women, it becomes an unforgivable crime. They treat their girlfriends like private property. They obviously don't cherish their own chastity, but they hope that the other party will stick to it for them... Yu Jiao angrily kicked the black mist that was crawling and wrapping around them on the ground.
I have to say that sometimes empathy can greatly alleviate negative emotions. For example, now, because Zhou Qingyan and Cheng He are both men, and the black fog belongs to Zhou Qingyan, Yu Jiao's unreasonableness and tyranny are all exerted on the black fog. The black fog was kicked around pitifully, and finally turned itself into a spherical body, allowing Yu Jiao to act like a spoiled child.
After calming down, Yu Jiao began to think over what she had said. She regretted not making a draft at that time. She should have scolded Cheng He harshly, but the last sentence would probably make Cheng He uncomfortable.
Cheng He has a gentle personality, but he can be very unreasonable when he gets jealous. Yu Jiao had no shortage of male admirers during her college years, and any rumors about her would make him angry for a long time.
But it has nothing to do with her anymore.
She would not punish herself for Cheng He's mistakes.
Yu Jiao lowered his head, grasped the door handle, and was about to turn it, but saw Zhou Qingyan staring at him with a smile behind the door.
She walked into the room and was annoyed to see the man, but Zhou Qingyan followed her closely, keeping half a step away. She sat on the sofa, thought about it, and felt unsatisfied, so she picked up the pillow and threw it over.
"Don't follow me."
Zhou Qingyan didn't get angry. He let the pillow hit his face, bent down to pick it up, and put it back on the sofa. He first reported on the completion of his work: "I have filled out all the forms for you. Your director sent some messy things, and I have also written them for you... Jiaojiao, this is your job."
Yu Jiao felt guilty and hid the pillow she had thrown at him behind her waist. She forced a smile and said, "Thank you."
Zhou Qingyan was silent for a moment, then said bluntly: "I heard everything you said on the balcony."
Yu Jiao said "oh".
Just hear it, it's not something shameful.
Why does he look so serious? As if he's about to make a big decision.
Zhou Qingyan was silent for a moment.
Yu Jiao looked at him straight in the eye and found that he had changed slightly from before. Before the supermarket incident, Zhou Qingyan was hazy like a weak shadow, and only when night fell would he condense into a solid body. But now, he looked like a living person the whole time - his face was still pale, but not the sickly, almost transparent white like before. The hidden crimson blood stained the whites of his eyes, making his eyeballs look as if they were soaked in blood when viewed up close.
More like a living person.
But even more terrifying.
Zhou Qingyan sat down beside her, sleeves rolled up to his elbows, revealing his pale, veined forearms. A faint black aura emanated from his body. His cold fingertips pressed against her palm, which held the phone, and he slowly filled the gaps between her fingers, earnestly promoting himself. "What Jiaojiao said makes sense. Why is it that only Cheng He can cheat, but you can't? That's not right. You've broken up now, and you have the right to date anyone... Well, you should always try different types of men from Cheng He, right?"
He had a thoughtful look on his face. "What kind of man is Cheng He... Let me think about it. He's all talk, but his abilities are inadequate, and his work style is questionable. It seems he's the kind of man who doesn't even want to enter the kitchen... If Jiaojiao finds another boyfriend like this, we'll have to order takeout, right? Takeout is often dirty, a waste of money, and can easily make you sick."
As he spoke, he leaned closer to Yu Jiao and chuckled softly, "Is there anyone suitable for Jiao Jiao right now?"
Yu Jiao really wanted to retort that there was, but she was not stupid enough to push herself into the fire pit. Zhou Qingyan looked as if if she said the word "yes", he would scare the "right person" to death overnight.
She pursed her lips and said nothing.
Zhou Qingyan had no choice but to ask shamelessly: "Jiaojiao, do you think I can do this?"
Yu Jiao hasn't figured out how to answer yet.
Zhou Qingyan covered his chest, his body almost falling on top of her, staring at her with his narrow, bloody eyes. Yu Jiao felt a chill all over her body, and leaned back on the sofa. Zhou Qingyan moved closer and closer, like a dedicated salesman trying to sell her out.
"It doesn't matter if we're not boyfriends. Jiaojiao can treat me as a nanny. You've praised my cooking before, and... there will always be needs. I will do my best to help you solve them and ensure you're satisfied."
Yu Jiao glared at him with a red face, wanting to retort, but then she felt that he was telling the truth.
Zhou Qingyan added, "And if Jiaojiao has a boy she likes, you can take me over to see him. Men are much more accurate in judging other men than women are in judging other men. I can give you some advice then."
