As Feng Changye pricked up his ears, waiting for her answer, she side-eyed him and smiled, "His name is Feng Changye, and he's my favorite brother in the world."
Feng Changye didn't expect that his routine would fail. He turned his head in surprise and looked at Zhu Wuhuan who was saying sweet words.
He met her big, shining eyes, and for a moment he didn't know whether to laugh or feel helpless.
well.
He shook his head and smiled, "My elaborate tricks on you were wasted... Since you're familiar with this trick and have seen through me, I won't try to trick you anymore. I'll ask you directly - Huanhuan, tell me the truth, did you have a crush on any of the brothers back then and wanted to marry him when you grew up?"
Zhu Wuhuan rolled his eyes.
He is narrow-minded and petty-minded, and there is no hope for him in this life.
She shook her head. "Really? I treated all the boys who grew up with me in the orphanage as my own brothers. We all grew up in the same family. Have you ever seen a sister like her own brother?"
Feng Changye looked at her with a half-smile, "Really? But before, you swore that you'd never liked anyone, and then a classmate came along and made your heart flutter, didn't you?"
Zhu Wuhuan looked at him calmly, "Nonsense, I've never had any classmates I've ever had a crush on."
Feng Changye approached her and said, "Then take out your phone later and check the scandals about the new director Zhu Wuhuan. I want to see if anyone has revealed any stories about you when you were young—"
“…” Zhu Wuhuan opened his eyes wide and looked at him in disbelief.
Wow, this guy actually knows how to use his phone to check out a celebrity's gossip?
She subconsciously asked, "How did you know that?"
Feng Changye was particularly proud. "Last night I saw... entertainment news on TV! There was gossip about a celebrity. He went to a hotel to hang out with someone without telling his wife, and was photographed. Now his wife wants to divorce him! I saw in it that no one in this world can escape the paparazzi's digging. Every famous celebrity will be dug up scandals and black material by them. I'm sure you have them too!"
Zhu Wuhuan felt a little numb.
It’s over. This guy even knows this. Does that mean she can’t hide any secrets from him?
She felt a little guilty and coughed lightly, "Well, actually, when you're young, it's normal to be attracted to one or two people, but it has nothing to do with love or the stirrings of passion, really..."
Feng Changye narrowed his eyes and stared at her, "Oh, are you so scared that you can't even speak clearly? It seems like you really do have someone you're interested in?"
Zhu Wuhuan lowered his head, "No... I really don't have any ambiguous partner, I swear, I really don't, I just... it's like... for a while I felt that a certain senior was quite good-looking and pleasing to the eye..."
Feng Changye snorted, "Just pleasing to the eye? Zhu Wuhuan, let me tell you, if you confess, I'll treat you leniently, but if you resist, I'll treat you harshly. If you tell me the truth, I'll let you go. If you resist to the end and let me find out myself, I'll never let you go—"
He pointed to the right, acting like a villain who had suddenly gained power. "There's a bench over there. Go over there! Sit down! Tell me the truth!"
"oh."
Zhu Wuhuan silently walked towards the bench he pointed to, sat down silently, then looked up at him innocently.
Meeting his gaze as if he was interrogating a prisoner, she looked away guiltily.
She whispered.
"When I was thirteen..."
"When I went to the cafeteria, I ran into a senior... It was actually quite ordinary and boring, completely different from the idol dramas. It was a very down-to-earth and down-to-earth story."
"It all started because I'm an orphan. There were a lot of other children in the orphanage, and the director paid for our living expenses out of his own pocket. It was barely enough to buy food, not a penny more. But I'm a girl, and I'm unlucky enough to have my period come early, and every time I have period pain, I sweat profusely... I have to save money to buy sanitary napkins and menstrual pain medicine..."
"Then where can I save money? I can only save on food."
"I don't want any vegetables at lunch every day. I ask the aunt to give me double the rice. Then I eat one portion of rice at lunch and another portion at night... The rice I made at lunch would be cold by the evening, right? So in the evening I would take my lunch box to the canteen to get some hot water and pickles to eat..."
"When I went to get some water to boil rice that day, I was bumped into by a senior who was rushing over to get some water. He knocked my lunch box to the ground and the rice spilled."
"When he saw that he had gotten into trouble, he kept apologizing to me. When I thought I was going to go hungry all night, he picked up my lunch box and washed it. Ignoring my refusal, he turned around and went to a less crowded window to get me a meal."
"At that time, our school had many lunch counters. Most students would choose the cheaper ones. The less crowded ones sold stir-fries. They were expensive, but very delicious, and everything had meat. The meal he ordered for me was white rice with fragrant stir-fried pork, Kung Pao chicken, a large chicken drumstick, and fried pork ribs..."
"It's a full lunch box, all filled with delicious food."
"When he walked towards me with a smile, carrying that box of fragrant, greasy food, through the crowd, in the spotlight, I saw that everyone was looking at him and me, and just... just..."
Zhu Wuhuan didn't dare to look at Feng Changye's expression. He lowered his head and coughed lightly.
She said, "I suddenly felt that this senior was so pleasing to the eye, so warm, and so radiant..."
Feng Changye folded his arms and stared at Zhu Wuhuan's head with a cold look.
He is now about to become a jealous person.
He was almost jealous to death.
Haha, just by listening to her description, he knew how excited she was at that time!
A poor girl who lived in poverty and had to eat white rice with pickles for every meal suddenly met a handsome, generous and wealthy senior. When she was starving, he walked towards her with a smile, holding the most delicious food!
Moreover, under the gaze of other classmates, he only walked towards her!
This special treatment from a handsome senior, this feeling of being the center of attention, for a 13-year-old girl with low self-esteem, is probably something she will remember for the rest of her life, right?
It’s not that I’m afraid, it’s something I’ve already remembered for the rest of my life!
Look at how old she is, but she still remembers these details so clearly. Isn't this something that will be remembered for a lifetime?
He stared at the top of Zhu Wuhuan's head and spoke coldly, "And then? Did he instantly transform from your senior into the guiding star in your dark life? Did you always unconsciously search for him in the crowd after that? Did you lose sight of anyone else as soon as you saw him? Did you feel that wherever he was, even on a rainy day, there was a ray of sunshine shining down on you for him?"
"puff."
When Zhu Wuhuan heard Feng Changye's exaggerated description and the sour tone that made his teeth ache, he couldn't help but look up at him and smile.
Seeing his dark complexion, she shook her head and said with a smile, "No."
Feng Changye sneered, "No? Ha, I don't believe it, it's absolutely impossible! You still remember him until now, you must have had a crush on him back then!"
Zhu Wuhuan said seriously, "Really not. When I saw him holding the lunch box and handing it to me, I did feel a warm feeling in my heart, and I was really grateful to him. But after eating the meal he gave me, my mind was filled with only the delicious meal, and no other thoughts."
Her eyes were filled with nostalgia. "Ah, that food was so delicious! Even better than the New Year's meal at the orphanage. It was the most delicious thing I've ever eaten in my life... As I chewed the food, I couldn't help but wonder when the senior would bump into me again... If he knocked over my lunch box again, would I be able to eat such delicious food again? I even had a dark thought in my mind for a moment: should I keep an eye on the senior every day from now on? Should I deliberately bump into him and get some of his stir-fried pork?"
"..." Feng Changye's cold eyes suddenly became dull.
He looked at Zhu Wuhuan in disbelief.
That’s it?
It started like an idol drama, but this is the result?
Not only is his wife's brain slow, but it's probably filled with what modern people call concrete, right?
Zhu Wuhuan continued to speak.
"Fortunately, I still have my values and a bottom line, so I can only think about it in my mind. I don't dare to do such a thing, and I don't dare to blackmail others. But after this bump gave me a delicious meal, I developed a bad habit every time I went to get water to soak rice. I couldn't control my eyes and always looked around to see if anyone ran over and bumped into me again... I had to keep an eye out. If someone bumped into me, I must not dodge! I must stand still and wait for them to bump into me! As long as they bumped into me, they could compensate me with a meal. How could I not keep an eye on them?"
She felt a little depressed when she said this.
"But I never met someone so impetuous again. Sigh! And because I always glanced around when I fetched water after that day, someone started to spread rumors, saying that I was looking for my senior in the crowd, that I was young and had a crush on him..."
She felt particularly aggrieved. "I really didn't. I just wanted to find someone in the crowd who could compensate me with a meal. I wasn't looking for that senior! But they kept gossiping, spreading the secret crush rumor even further, and even causing a small-scale heated discussion—"
Having said that, she looked up at Feng Changye, feeling particularly guilty.
"A lot of alumni knew about this scandal at the time. I think that now that Miss Zhu has become a famous director, this matter will definitely be sold to reporters by my unscrupulous alumni. There must be bullshit news online about me having a crush on someone at a young age, so I'm going to be honest with you first."
She raised her hand in a swearing gesture, "But I swear to you, this is absolutely the only incident! Apart from this incident, there will definitely be no more scandals about me from my youth on the Internet!"
Feng Changye looked at his silly wife, not knowing whether to burst into laughter or touch her little head, feeling sorry for her.
Alas, his wife always manages to ruin everything beautiful.
He was in a good mood and raised his chin slightly. "Use your phone to check. I want to see if your unlucky senior who was almost scammed by you has said anything online about this matter."
