Chapter 24: She probably likes me!
The moment Xu Xunzhen saw Qiao Zhizheng, she looked very familiar. "Are you that little fool? You look a little familiar."
Qiao Zhizheng pointed at herself in confusion, "Little fool? Me?"
Qiao Zhizheng's gaze shifted to Qiao Zheng. "Is that how you usually call me in private in front of friends? Me? Fool?"
Qiao Zheng wasn't panicked at all. "Yeah."
Qiao Zhizheng looked at Qiao Zheng and saw how she admitted it so frankly, not feeling embarrassed at all about being exposed. Like an angry calf, he bumped Qiao Zheng with his shoulder.
Qiao Zheng didn't expect Qiao Zhizheng to suddenly attack her, and she staggered after being knocked by Qiao Zhizheng. Qiao Zhizheng didn't expect that the force of her own attack was so strong, and she hurried to support Qiao Zheng, but she didn't control the force well and pulled Qiao Zheng into her arms.
Looking down at Qiao Zheng slightly, he could see her fair cheeks and watery eyes. At such a close distance, Qiao Zhizheng could even see that Qiao Zheng's eyes were full of him.
This realization made Qiao Zhizheng's heart beat wildly, and she couldn't help but swallow nervously.
wrong!
Qiao Zhizheng reacted and asked, "Why am I so nervous in front of Qiao Zheng?"
Qiao Zhizheng began to face this problem.
Xu Xunzhen watched with amusement from the side, "It's wonderful to have two such beautiful faces! They're so pretty! How can they be so pretty?"
Qiao Zheng and Qiao Zhizheng turned around at the same time and looked at Xu Xunzhen speechlessly.
Xu Xunzhen asked, "By the way, aren't you really sisters?"
"No!"
"no!"
I don’t know if it’s because of his relationship with Qiao Zheng, but when Xu Xunzhen saw Qiao Zhizheng’s face, he felt particularly familiar, as if he had known her for a long time.
"Did you play that Liu Runniang?"
"Yes, it's me."
"What is your relationship with Qiao Zheng?"
"Good friends," Qiao Zhizheng emphasized, "Qiao Zheng and I are the best friends in the world!"
Xu Xunzhen nodded repeatedly, "Since I met her, I've never seen her be so nice to anyone except you."
"real?"
"real!"
Seeing Xu Xunzhen's confident look, Qiao Zhizheng was delighted. She wanted to secretly take a look at Qiao Zheng's reaction, but she didn't expect that Qiao Zheng was looking at her at this moment, and their eyes met.
Qiao Zhizheng's heart skipped a beat and she immediately turned her gaze away guiltily.
Qiao Zhizheng was chatting with Xu Xunzhen, but she couldn't help but think in her heart -
As soon as I looked at her, I found that she was also looking at me.
Could it be that she had actually been looking at me the whole time, and I just happened to turn around and noticed it this time?
Why are you looking at me?
Of course it’s because I’m pretty!
But she is prettier than me, why doesn't she look at herself?
There is only one possibility——
She likes me!
She must like me!
Otherwise, why would Qiao Zheng be so nice to me and not to others for no reason?
When the three of them came to the restaurant and sat down to order food, Qiao Zheng looked at the menu and ordered a few dishes. Qiao Zhizheng noticed that these were all his favorite dishes.
Qiao Zhizheng looked at Qiao Zheng with bright eyes, "Thank you..."
Qiao Zheng just felt that Qiao Zhizheng's thanks came out of nowhere, but Qiao Zhizheng was often so baffling. Qiao Zheng used to be able to roughly guess Qiao Zhizheng's thoughts, but recently she found that she could no longer understand Qiao Zhizheng's train of thought.
Qiao Zheng ignored it and handed the menu to Xu Xunzhen, "Order what you like."
Xu Xunzhen took the menu and looked at Qiao Zhizheng hesitantly, "Little Sister Qiao, you haven't ordered yet, right?"
Qiao Zheng said naturally, "I've already ordered it. She doesn't need to see it."
Qiao Zheng’s understanding is that we are the same person and have the same taste, so I can just order.
Qiao Zhizheng's understanding is - she understands me so well! She knows my tastes!
Xu Xun really understood it as - excuse me! I shouldn't be here, I should be under the table.
Xu Xunzhen had read the random reply, "Ah, um, okay."
Xu Xunzhen silently covered his face with the menu, trying his best not to show his bared teeth.
What Qiao Zheng didn't know was that Xu Xunzhen was not only a surfing expert who was very active in the Internet due to his work in the information technology industry, but also a senior fan who was obsessed with CP.
In Qiao Zheng's timeline, when she and Xu Xunzhen first met, Xu Xunzhen had been worn down by life and no longer had the joy of shipping their couple. However, Qiao Zheng's early appearance changed her, and the passion for shipping their couple ignited even more fiercely!
Xu Xunzhen silently listened to his CP flirting.
"Qiao Zheng, that blue drink on the table next to you looks delicious~"
"point."
"The little bear that comes with that dessert is so cute~"
"point."
"That fruit tart is so beautiful, it must be delicious."
"point."
"Will you be unable to finish this much?"
"It's okay. The person who's been holding the menu but not ordering will probably eat it."
The air was quiet for a moment.
Xu Xunzhen silently put down the menu, lowered the corners of his mouth, and rubbed his stiff face, "Ah, yes, I'll eat it, I'll eat it."
After dinner, Xu Xunzhen drove the two of them home.
Standing at the door of his home, pushing open the dark brown wooden door, and seeing the familiar furnishings in the living room, Qiao Zhizheng felt as if he were in another world.
From Huadu Drama Academy to Longfeng Garden, it almost spans half of the city. After the military training, Qiao Zhizheng was either in class or on the way to audition. She hadn't been back for a long time.
I haven’t been back “home” for a long time.
When grandma saw the two of them, her attitude was natural and intimate, as if Qiao Zhizheng had just gone downstairs with Qiao Zheng to buy something and was back. The wrinkles on her face were filled with a kind smile, "Nannan, Zhizhi, you're back."
Qiao Zhizheng went over and hugged her grandmother's arm, "Grandma, I'm back~"
"Grandma, have you missed me during this time~"
"Last time you called me, you said you had a new best friend. Is she also from this community?"
"grandmother……"
Qiao Zhizheng's arrival brought some life to this long-dormant home. She looked at the two people on the sofa, one talking while the other listened, and squinted her eyes. The white light from the ceiling lamp seemed to be tinged with a halo of warmth. Qiao Zheng nodded to Aunt Song, who came out of the kitchen, and said, "Thank you for your hard work."
Aunt Song waved her hand, smiling brightly and generously, "You pay, I work, what's there to thank me for? I should thank you. I'm idle at home all day anyway, so I come here to talk to you, and I get paid. It's much more comfortable than staying at home alone."
Qiao Zheng took out some cash from her bag. "This is my salary for this month. Aunt Song, use the extra bills to buy some clothes you like."
Aunt Song didn't bother to be polite with her. "I'll take the money. I'll make some more delicious dishes for Aunt Qiao later."
Qiao Zheng held her forehead and smiled helplessly.
Aunt Song was a neighbor in the same building. Qiao Zheng often had to go out for something, so she paid her to look after her grandmother. After all, her grandmother was old and alone at home, so Qiao Zheng was worried about her.
Qiao Zheng sent Aunt Song out the door and looked back at the sofa. Coincidentally, Qiao Zhizheng's eyes met hers at this moment. Qiao Zhizheng immediately looked away, his eyes fixed on the sofa where his grandmother was leaning.
Qiao Zheng could see that Qiao Zhizheng was nervous.
As for why I'm nervous? It's hard to say.
The wind blew outside the window, hitting the window glass with a whistling sound.
"It's probably going to rain tomorrow."
As Qiao Zheng said, it rained the next day. Qiao Zhizheng was woken up by the rapid rhythm of rain hitting the glass. She looked at the time and it was 6:09, a time when she was still able to sleep but couldn't.
Qiao Zhizheng unlocked his phone and received the electronic version of the new script sent by Xia Cangshu. After a quick glance, Qiao Zhizheng's eyes lit up, not caring what time it was.
He jumped out of bed, ran towards Qiao Zheng's room.
It was a rainy day in November, and the room was still dark.
Qiao Zhizheng pushed open Qiao Zheng's bedroom door, jumped onto the bed with precision, and landed beside Qiao Zheng. Qiao Zheng was awakened by the huge noise. She opened her eyes suddenly, sat up straight, and her voice was slightly hoarse, "Earthquake?!"
"No, Xia Cangshu sent me the new script she created."
Qiao Zheng listened to Qiao Zhizheng's energetic voice, turned her head to look at the dark sky outside the window, closed her eyes, covered her head with the quilt, and asked through gritted teeth, "Do you know what time it is?"
Qiao Zhizheng glanced at the time, "It's already 6:15."
Qiao Zheng's voice came through the quilt, a little muffled, "It's time to go to bed. If you don't go to bed, others will have to go to bed too!"
Qiao Zhizheng was like a dog full of energy in the morning, just wanting to run wild. He hugged Qiao Zheng through the quilt, swaying back and forth, and acted coquettishly to Qiao Zheng, "I'm sorry~ I disturbed your sleep~ But this script is really good~"
Qiao Zheng didn't say anything.
Qiao Zhizheng said, "Okay, you sleep a little longer, and when you wake up, we'll watch it together."
Qiao Zhizheng stopped talking, sat up, and prepared to read the new script carefully first.
I had just read the beginning when a beautiful, slender hand stretched out from under the quilt and turned on the light in the room.
"Don't you want your eyes anymore when you turn off the lights and look at your phone?"
Qiao Zhizheng did not refute. She giggled and watched Qiao Zheng sit up. Her long hair hung behind her head, and there were crimson marks at the corners of her eyes from sleeping. She looked lazy and cute.
The lazy and cute Qiao Zheng and Qiao Zhizheng leaned against the head of the bed together, each holding a mobile phone to read the new script.
“I believe there is another me in the world, doing things I want to do but dare not do, living the life I want to live but cannot live.”
In Xia Cangshu's new script, the two protagonists have similar looks, the same growing environment and values, and similar hobbies, but they have different personalities and life choices. One grows up to be a free explorer, and the other becomes an elegant ballet dancer.
The explorer is cheerful and enthusiastic, and expresses his love for the world directly. The ballet dancer is melancholy and quiet, and feels that the world is boring. These two people with completely different personalities meet one day.
Two people are curious about each other because the other person is walking a different path that the other person has not walked.
Qiao Zheng tapped the phone case with her little finger, and her long eyelashes fluttered like beautiful butterfly wings.
"Did Xia Cangshu tell you which role he wanted you to play?"
Qiao Zhizheng shook her head. "No, what about you? Didn't she tell you?"
"Ask her."
