Chu Xinxin seemed not to hear, and chatted casually with Fang Nian.
A dark glint flashed in Fang Nian's eyes. After glancing at Yu Hengze, he deliberately brought out the champagne he had just taken a sip of with both hands: "Xin Xin, try this. It tastes pretty good."
Before Chu Xinxin could speak, a hand with distinct knuckles handed her another cup: "Drink this, I just poured it."
She turned around, and Yu Hengze's expression was indifferent, as if he wasn't the one vying for favor.
"Thanks."
Chu Xinxin took the cup from Yu Hengze's hand, turned around and clinked glasses with Fang Nian, taking care of everyone.
[Tsk, that familiar scent of the sea queen.]
Fang Nian smiled as before, showing no displeasure whatsoever. On the contrary, he tried even harder to make Chu Xinxin happy.
Chu Xinxin was incredibly generous; she bought hundreds of thousands of yuan worth of wine in Xu Mei's name, all of which were registered under Fang Nian's name.
Fang Nian's gaze towards Chu Xinxin was almost drooling.
The group didn't disperse until 2 or 3 a.m.
Sister Qian led a group of handsome men to the door to see them off.
Xu Mei was flying to S City and went straight to the airport: "Xin Xin, take a taxi back by yourself."
Sister Qian was displeased: "Alright, you can go your way. Do you think I can't find a driver?"
Then she called Fang Nian out: "Take Xin Xin back home."
"Sister Qian, Fang Nian just drank..." Chu Xinxin's gaze swept over the boys behind Sister Qian, then she pointed at Yu Hengze and asked, "Did you drink?"
Yu Hengze stepped forward: "I didn't drink it."
"Then it's you."
Yu Hengze's eyes lit up immediately, and he was about to take the car keys that Sister Qian handed him...
"Wait a minute," Xu Mei called out.
She looked Yu Hengze up and down. He was good-looking, but his character wasn't very good.
When Chu Xinxin is dressed casually, she is incredibly aloof.
After changing her clothes, she immediately stuck to him.
We're all here to spend money, so why are you acting like this?
It's fine to want to make money, but they spend money to buy happiness, not to suffer.
"Xin Xin, let's choose another one." Xu Mei tossed her hair, not caring what her words might cause others.
The other boys looked at Yu Hengze with immediate pity.
I offended a big customer on my very first day at work.
Sister Qian even told him directly, "You don't need to come tomorrow."
Yu Hengze bit his lower lip and said in a deep voice, "Sister Xu, Sister Qian, give me another chance..."
Xu Mei and Sister Qian remained silent, and the other boys didn't dare to breathe loudly either.
The atmosphere was tense.
"Alright, alright, Auntie, you'd better hurry up, you're going to miss your flight..." Chu Xinxin shoved Xu Mei into the car.
Xu Mei was about to say something when Chu Xinxin gave her a warning look and whispered behind everyone's back, "If you block my path to romance again, I'll tell Grandpa that you were the one who smashed that antique vase!"
"goodbye!"
Xu Mei strode away.
Chu Xinxin clapped her hands and turned around: "Sister Qian, I'm leaving too."
"Go ahead, go ahead."
"Sister Qian, I'll order him again next time, so please don't fire him."
A shrewd smile appeared on Sister Qian's face: "Deposit one million first, and I'll have him wait for you."
"Deduct it from my aunt's account!"
......
3:30 a.m.
There are few cars on the streets of City A.
Yu Hengze secretly observed Chu Xinxin through the rearview mirror.
To be fair, this girl is very beautiful, the kind of beauty that's heavenly.
But when she smiles, it's like the kind of food we ate when we were kids—soft and sweet, making people want to get close to her.
Is it pretty?
Chu Xinxin suddenly opened her eyes and asked a question out of the blue.
Yu Hengze's eyelids twitched, and he looked away: "Beautiful."
The car turned a corner.
Chu Xinxin chatted casually with Yu Hengze: "First day at work?"
"Um."
Why did you come to do this?
Yu Hengze remained silent.
Chu Xinxin paused for a moment: "Are you short of money?"
Yu Hengze remained silent.
Chu Xinxin suddenly lifted her chin from the seat back and rested it on the driver's seat: "How much do you want to be my sugar daddy? You want to drive a... damn it!"
Yu Hengze slammed on the brakes, and Chu Xinxin was thrown against the roof of the car with a thud.
Tears welled up in her eyes from the pain.
Yu Hengze turned to look at her: "Ms. Chu, you seem to have some misunderstanding about my work."
Chu Xinxin rubbed her forehead: "I'm talking to you about a different job now."
"Sorry, I perform, I don't sell my body."
"Alright then, I won't force you."
Yu Hengze: ......
Sister, I think I heard him sounding regretful.
Chu Xinxin: "Oh?"
[He seemed to be saying, "I should have known better than to try and portray myself as this strong and resilient persona. Damn it, it backfired!"]
Chu Xinxin pretended not to see Yu Hengze gripping the steering wheel tightly for a moment, and said coldly, "Drive quickly, I have to go to class at eight o'clock."
Yu Hengze pursed his lips and restarted the vehicle.
In the second half, Chu Xinxin stopped trying to strike up a conversation. Yu Hengze opened his mouth several times, but ultimately said nothing.
The car drove into an upscale residential area and then stopped in front of a villa.
"goodbye."
Chu Xinxin walked steadily, and Yu Hengze's plan to help her into the room failed.
"Squeak."
Chu Xinxin's figure disappeared behind the door. Yu Hengze, holding the steering wheel, sat motionless in his seat, watching the sky gradually turn a pale white.
Eight o'clock in the morning.
Chu Xinxin came out wearing a hoodie and sweatpants, carrying a stack of books.
Yu Hengze straightened up immediately, his body no longer leaning against the wall.
Chu Xinxin looked past him at the car behind him, which was still parked in the same spot and hadn't moved all night.
Yu Hengze stepped forward and took the book from her: "Do you still stand by what you said yesterday?"
Chu Xinxin said lazily, "What did you say?"
After biting his lower lip three times, Yu Hengze finally uttered the two words: "Kept..."
"It counts..."
Just as Yu Hengze's tense forehead relaxed, Chu Xinxin said again, "But why should I choose you?"
......
"I can cook, wash dishes, and do housework. I'm a grade 10 pianist, and I can play ball and video games with you... I've also learned Sanda (Chinese kickboxing), and I can drive and carry luggage when we go out."
On the bus, Yu Hengze racked his brains and said everything he could do.
Chu Xinxin didn't respond to him, and seemed not particularly satisfied.
As the school drew closer, Yu Hengze couldn't think of anything else he could say.
The car stopped at the side gate of the teaching building. Chu Xinxin reached for her textbook, but Yu Hengze did not let go.
His gaze was fixed on Chu Xinxin: "Miss Chu, if there's anything else you're not satisfied with, please tell me, and I'll change it."
"If I had to say, it's because your major doesn't match your job requirements. Go back and think about it carefully."
