He was impeccable in every aspect, and his English did indeed improve rapidly during this period.
It's normal that I don't believe Jiang Sheng, so why is he giving me such a sour look? Honestly!
Despite her complaints, Xu Jianian quickly followed behind Jiang Sheng, taking small steps forward.
"Slow down! I can't keep up with you!"
...
After leaving, Zhou Changgui became increasingly angry and jealous.
Why should all the good things belong to Jiang Sheng?
Even though he had already won Zhao Xuehui's favor, Zhou Changgui had recently noticed that the scales in Zhao Xuehui's heart seemed to have unknowingly tipped a little towards Jiang Sheng.
It is precisely because Jiang Sheng is not Zhao Xuehui's biological brother that Zhou Changgui is now filled with a sense of crisis.
Thinking of this, Zhou Changgui subconsciously glanced at his watch.
It's almost noon, just in time for Zhao Xuehui to get off work.
Looking around, it was only an eight or nine-minute walk from Zhao Xuehui's broadcasting station.
After thinking for a moment, Zhou Changgui quickly walked to a nearby supply and marketing cooperative.
I picked up the phone and dialed the number. Soon, I heard the sweet, girlish voice of a radio station staff member on the other end of the line.
"Hello, who are you looking for?"
"I wanted to ask, is Zhao Xuehui busy right now? It's like this, I..."
...
At noon, Zhao Xuehui, who had just finished get off work, learned from her colleagues that Zhou Changgui wanted to have lunch with her, and a happy smile involuntarily appeared on her face.
After dealing with her colleagues' teasing remarks, Zhao Xuehui walked out of the broadcasting station with a smile on her face, but for some reason, she felt a little empty inside.
In the past, when she made plans to have dinner with Zhou Changgui, she always felt a sense of anticipation and excitement.
But now, even Zhao Xuehui herself doesn't understand why, besides happiness and anticipation, she seems to also feel a sense of loss and a resistance that she herself is unwilling to admit.
Although these emotions are barely perceptible, they only flash by for a fleeting moment.
That was enough to make Zhao Xuehui a little nervous.
Before Zhao Xuehui could figure out what was going on, Zhou Changgui's gentle voice came from the doorway.
"Xuehui, you've arrived."
Zhao Xuehui regained her composure, no longer dwelling on the strange emotion in her heart. Instead, she roused herself and smiled slightly at Zhou Changgui.
"Did I keep you waiting? Where shall we go for dinner?"
Zhao Xuehui's smile was extremely natural, though it carried a hint of awkwardness that was barely perceptible. However, Zhou Changgui did not notice it and instead found a sense of accomplishment in Zhao Xuehui.
Putting everything else aside, at least this silly girl still likes me as much as ever after seeing me.
From this point of view alone, this idiot is actually quite easy to control.
After the two chose a restaurant and ordered their food, Zhou Changgui looked at Zhao Xuehui with an embarrassed smile on his face.
"I'm sorry to have asked you to have dinner with me so suddenly. I hope it didn't cause you any trouble."
"Look at what you're saying," Zhao Xuehui shook her head subconsciously, saying without even thinking, "Our relationship doesn't require such formalities. We're just having a meal together, how could there be any trouble?"
Zhao Xuehui felt that Zhou Changgui was acting strangely today.
In the past, when the two of them ate together, Zhou Changgui would never speak to him so politely.
Moreover, the two of them have already broken through that barrier.
Zhou Changgui's sudden politeness made Zhao Xuehui keenly aware that something seemed amiss.
"Teacher Zhou, is something wrong? Why are you being so polite to me today? You've never been like this before..."
Upon hearing Zhao Xuehui's words, Zhou Changgui realized that he might have indeed been a bit too polite.
He smiled awkwardly and said embarrassedly, "Really? Maybe it's because I just met Xiao Jiang, your younger brother, and that's why I haven't recovered yet."
"Have you seen my brother?"
Upon hearing Zhou Changgui's words, Zhao Xuehui immediately became nervous and asked, "He didn't say anything else to you, did he? I mean, he wasn't targeting you, was he?"
As Zhao Xuehui spoke, she realized she had said the wrong thing. Just as she was about to explain, Zhou Changgui spoke up with a smile.
"No, Xuehui, don't worry. I know he's a little against us being together. I just happened to see Xiao Jiang buying a computer at the computer mall today."
"He said he wanted to buy a computer?"
Zhao Xuehui was even more surprised, but she quickly recovered: "But then again, why is Teacher Zhou also at the computer mall? Could it be that Teacher Zhou is also planning to buy a computer, which is why she ran into my brother?"
"It wasn't me who bought the computer. It was my student who was tutoring. His family wanted to buy a computer, and I just went with him to take a look."
Zhou Changgui smiled and then sighed, seemingly casually saying, "But I never expected your brother to be so rich, buying three computers and even starting a factory..."
"What did you say?!"
Before Zhou Changgui could finish speaking, Zhao Xuehui interrupted him, her face filled with shock and disbelief.
"You mean... my brother bought three computers in total?!"
"No, this is far too presumptuous of us to act on our own!"
Without even thinking, Zhao Xuehui blurted out the words of blame.
"A single computer costs tens of thousands of yuan, and he wants to buy three at once? Is he crazy?!"
"He's so young and already doing bad things. He bought three computers just to play games. I have to call him right away!"
Zhao Xuehui stood up anxiously before the food had even been served.
"Xuehui, don't rush, let me finish what I have to say."
Zhou Changgui quickly grabbed Zhao Xuehui's arm, then somewhat embarrassedly withdrew his hand and gave an awkward laugh.
"I'm sorry to have offended you, but the truth is not what you think. Please sit down and let me explain."
Zhao Xuehui was furious, but Zhou Changgui's words also piqued her curiosity about what was going on. So she nodded, suppressed her anger, and sat back down.
"It's like this..."
Zhou Changgui recounted the whole story to Zhao Xuehui in detail.
As Zhou Changgui finished speaking, Zhao Xuehui looked astonished, clearly still somewhat disbelieving the truth.
