Chapter 162 You did it on purpose

Zhou Chen stood up and walked towards her, took the Heart Sutra from her hand and put it down, then looked at her with deep eyes.

"I'm a human, not a god. I have all the seven emotions and six desires. What's so surprising about that?"

Xu Ge looked at his dark pupils for a long time before shrugged.

Zhou Chen raised his hand and touched her head before turning around. "The bathroom is on the left."

Xu Ge watched him leave before she lowered her head to look at the desk again. There were all kinds of scriptures on it. A hint of surprise flashed in her eyes.

This actually overturned her perception of him.

The cell phone suddenly rang. Xu Ge took it out and saw that it was Zhou Zimo calling.

She narrowed her eyes and thought for a moment before finally picking it up.

"Hello."

"Xiaoge, it's me. You finally answered my call."

Compared to Zhou Zimo's excitement, Xu Ge seemed unusually indifferent.

"You called me because you have something else to say?"

Zhou Zimo was silent for a moment on the other end of the phone before he said in a hoarse voice, "Can you really not accept me? I can promise..."

"Zimo, you knew from the beginning that I didn't really like you, right?"

There was a sudden silence over there.

Xu Ge picked up a brush and casually played with it, then said calmly, "I've always believed that love at first sight is unreliable, but love can be cultivated over time, so I'm willing to give it a try. However, there are some things that cannot be forgotten, and I can't force myself to accept them. I hope you can understand and respect our decision."

At this point, Xu Ge still said tactfully, "We have known each other for so long, if possible we can be friends, but I'm sorry, I can't continue to associate with you."

"You dislike me, don't you? But I've never..."

Xu Ge's expression turned cold, as if he guessed what he was going to say, and stopped him from continuing.

"If that's the case, I wouldn't have dated you from the beginning. After all, you know best who you are, don't you?"

"No, no, I said the wrong thing. I know you don't mind me before, you only mind what happened between me and Yu Bo. I..."

"Zimo, maybe we really aren't suitable for each other. I hope you can find the person who's most suitable for you."

Zhou Zimo stopped talking, and Xu Ge didn't have the patience to argue with him anymore.

"If you're alright, I'll hang up."

"Grandpa wants me to go abroad for a year." Zhou Zimo suddenly said.

Xu Ge raised his eyebrows and said, "It's only a year. It's not that long. It will pass quickly."

Four years flew by, let alone just one short year.

"You should know what Grandpa means. He's just asking you to stay out of the spotlight. I guess Grandpa wants you to go to an overseas branch and make achievements before you can return home, right?"

"Grandpa said this..."

Xu Ge put down the brush and thought to himself that he was indeed his grandson, even if his bones were broken, his tendons were still connected.

Even if you are angry, think it through and leave him a way out.

So this year is more of a period of training than a year of exile and punishment.

"That's fine. I wish you all the best."

"Will you come and see me off?"

Xu Ge was very generous, "Of course, I said, we are still friends."

After hanging up the phone, she saw Zhou Chen standing in front of her. She didn't know how long he had been looking at her.

Xu Ge suddenly asked, "When will he leave?"

"the day after tomorrow."

Xu Ge pulled the corner of his lips, "Grandpa is really fast."

"Can I ask you a question?" Xu Ge asked him lazily while leaning against the wall.

Zhou Chen nodded, "Ask."

"Where is Yu Bo now?"

Zhou Chen suddenly looked at her and asked, "Why do you think I would know?"

Xu Ge shook his head. "No reason, it's just an intuition, so you know what?"

Zhou Chen looked at her for a few seconds before saying, "You want to catch him?"

"It's not my responsibility, but as a good citizen I do hope that the bad guys will be brought to justice."

"He will probably try to escape abroad."

Xu Ge blinked in agreement. The domestic wanted warrant was already all over the Internet, so fleeing abroad was the only way.

"But my colleagues told me that a group of people seemed to be chasing him. Who do you think they are trying to silence him?"

Zhou Chen looked at her with a half-smile, "You're almost naming names."

"So, it seems we have the same idea."

Zhou Chen looked at her for a few seconds before whispering, "Until there's any evidence, speculation is just speculation."

Xu Ge seemed to want to say something else, but then he heard him say something again.

"My eldest brother only has this one son."

Xu Ge suddenly shut his mouth. Although Uncle Ping was a playboy, he had a bottom line over the years and had not had any illegitimate children outside.

He is a playboy because he has no feelings for Chen Ru. He is a playboy because the person he loves is her mother, so he treats her as his own daughter.

"So, you have to understand that before you do anything or make any decision, evidence is the most important."

Xu Ge curled his lips and looked away, "I didn't say anything."

Indeed, she no longer wanted to continue the investigation.

Even if it's her selfish motive.

She is not a police officer, nor is she Justice Bao.

Just do your job well, she won't do anything extra.

Why waste time on something that won’t please you?

"If, I mean if, Zhou Zimo really broke the law, what would you do?"

Zhou Chen's expression remained calm. He simply said, "We live in a world governed by laws. If he truly breaks the law, it's up to the free judge to decide."

"Well, in that case, you are truly selfless."

"Do you want to eat crispy persimmons?" Zhou Chen suddenly asked.

Xu Ge was silent for a moment and changed the subject.

"Is it here?"

"Come with me." Zhou Chen extended his hand to her.

Xu Ge took a look and handed her his hand.

There is indeed a persimmon tree on the hill behind the temple, and it has obviously borne fruit.

Looking at the crisp yellow persimmons, Xu Ge tilted his head back and swallowed subconsciously.

“Is this persimmon sweet?”

Hearing the sound of her swallowing, Zhou Chen chuckled rarely.

Xu Ge looked away a little embarrassedly, "I'm asking you, is it delicious?"

Zhou Chen raised his thin lips, "You'll know if you try it."

Zhou Chen picked two for her and washed them at a nearby well.

Xu Ge took it and took a big bite.

Maybe he thought that everything in this temple was good and delicious, and the persimmons must be sweeter than those sold outside.

She simply took a big bite, but this bite almost killed her.

"Wow, ugh, ugh, ugh, why is it so bitter, ugh..."

Zhou Chen leaned against the tree trunk with his hands in his pockets. Seeing her wrinkled face, jumping up and down and sticking out her tongue, he looked at the persimmon in his hand, wanting to throw it but not daring, so he could only scream.

"Oh……"

Zhou Chen's deep and mellow voice was not pleasant at all to Xu Ge's ears. She turned around and glared at him fiercely, feeling a little exasperated.

"You did it on purpose. This persimmon is inedible."

As she was speaking, she felt that her tongue had lost all feeling and it was extremely astringent and uncomfortable.

Suddenly, she ran towards him, put her arm around his neck, tilted her head to take a bite of the persimmon, then stood on tiptoe to kiss his lips.

Let’s do it together if we want it to be bitter!
