Chapter 114 Closing the Distance



As Zhao Xuehui walked towards the entrance of the broadcasting station, she hesitated for a moment.

Last time, Zhou Changgui revealed his true feelings; this time, he doesn't know how to respond.

Let's take another look!

However, I remembered that I needed to have someone take a look at the poem my younger brother wrote, and this time was just right.

And so, upon arriving at the door, Zhao Xuehui happened to see Zhou Changgui.

"Xuehui".

Zhou Changgui smiled gently and said apologetically, "I'm sorry to have come without prior notice. I apologize for disturbing you."

Zhao Xuehui smiled and said, "It's okay."

"That's good," Zhou Changgui said, pointing to the area near the broadcasting station, and considerately asking Zhao Xuehui's opinion: "By the way, Xuehui, where would you like to eat?"

Zhao Xuehui watched as Zhou Changgui showed no abnormality whatsoever from beginning to end, remaining as normal as ever.

She realized she was overthinking things, and once she let go of the psychological burden, she felt much more relaxed.

"Anywhere is fine," Zhao Xuehui said indifferently. "I think Teacher Zhou will have good suggestions, and I will listen to Teacher Zhou."

"Okay."

Since Zhao Xuehui had said so, Zhou Changgui nodded in agreement.

"Let's talk as we walk. I remember there's a little shop up ahead that sells clay pot meatballs. Their vegetarian meatballs are pretty good. Shall we go there?"

That's what he said, but in reality, Zhou Changgui felt a little reluctant to part with it.

Although it was just vegetarian meatballs, the side dishes at that shop were not cheap.

The reason he took Zhao Xuehui there to eat, even though he knew it wouldn't be cheap, was simply to take this opportunity to get closer to her.

After all, with Zhao Xuehui's family background, if he didn't try to win her over properly, how could she possibly be willing to marry him with his meager wealth?

Zhao Xuehui smiled faintly, naturally showing no reluctance: "Then I'll follow Teacher Zhou's arrangements."

The two chatted and laughed as they walked slowly forward, and soon they arrived at the casserole restaurant.

"Xuehui, which one do you want to eat?"

Zhou Changgui pointed to the menu on the wall: "The signature dish here is casserole meatballs, and the casserole crispy pork is also good. Which one would you like to eat?"

Seeing that the prices on the list were not cheap, Zhao Xuehui immediately had the idea of ​​saving money for Zhou Changgui.

With a touch of warmth in her heart, she then pointed to the cheapest dish in the menu, appearing relaxed and natural.

"Then I'll have this casserole meatballs. I'll just have a small portion."

Zhou Changgui was overjoyed upon hearing this.

Luckily, he ordered the cheapest option; otherwise, he probably would have spent a considerable amount of money today.

"Boss, two small portions of casserole meatballs, please," Zhou Changgui called over the boss, then made up his mind, "and two of your signature cold dishes, please."

"No need to spend so much money..."

Zhao Xuehui spoke.

After all, it was Zhou Changhui who took the initiative to invite her to dinner today.

Zhao Xuehui thought she had something to ask Zhou Changgui for advice, so she agreed.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Changgui ordered such expensive dishes, which made Zhao Xuehui feel somewhat uneasy.

I've already decided in my mind, maybe I should settle this bill myself after I finish eating?

"It's alright."

Zhou Changgui smiled nonchalantly, appearing quite generous: "The food here isn't very expensive, and it tastes really good; it's worth the price."

"That's too expensive..."

Zhao Xuehui wanted to say something more, but Zhou Changgui interrupted her with a smile.

"Don't be so embarrassed. I just happened to have something I wanted to ask you today, so I'm using this expensive meal to bribe you."

Zhou Changgui's joking manner made Zhao Xuehui chuckle along.

"You said I would definitely help if I could, and I happen to have something to do today, so please help me, Teacher Zhou."

"Oh, really?"

Zhou Changgui was somewhat surprised, but even more delighted.

He invited Zhao Xuehui to dinner today not only to get closer to her, but also to use the love poem he brought to test whether Zhao Xuehui's feelings for him had deepened.

But he never expected that meeting Zhao Xuehui today would bring such an unexpected surprise.

With a faint smile on his face, he said with some surprise, "That's quite a coincidence. Can I call it a meeting of minds?"

These words sounded somewhat frivolous, but Zhou Changgui maintained a very upright demeanor with a gentle smile on his face, making it impossible for anyone to feel the slightest bit of dislike for him.

Zhao Xuehui then realized she was probably overthinking things and joked, "Teacher Zhou is really good at joking."

"Let's get straight to the point," Zhou Changgui said, taking an envelope from his bag before the food was served and placing it in front of Zhao Xuehui. "This is a poem I recently wrote, and it probably contains some of my own feelings. I'd like to ask Teacher Zhao to take a look and see if there are any mistakes or omissions."

When jokingly called "Teacher Zhao," Zhao Xuehui quickly smiled and waved her hand.

“I’m a little unworthy of being called Teacher Zhao,” Zhao Xuehui said, taking the envelope in front of her. “However, I can appreciate it with you. As for finding and correcting it, we’ll have to rely on professionals. I’m just an amateur.”

After saying this, Zhao Xuehui opened the envelope and took out the letter inside.

Unfolding the letter and looking at the subtle and veiled love poems written on it, Zhao Xuehui's face showed even more amazement.

"This is really well written!"

Zhao Xuehui couldn't help but give Zhou Changgui a thumbs up.
