Chapter 27: Still feeling sweet?
Qin Xuan immediately thought of the time Zhou Songyan was dumped five years ago.
"No, Lao Zhou, you're still thinking about that woman?"
"That's all ancient history, why do you still remember it?"
"People should look forward. What's so good about a woman who's obsessed with vanity?"
"That girl at the used car shop last time was amazing. Absolutely stunning! Her skin was so white it seemed to glow, she had a great figure, and her hair was thick and black. I even heard her voice; it was so soft and gentle, like a mountain spring. It made me swoon..."
Before Qin Xuan could finish speaking, Zhou Songyan pressed him down onto the sofa, his arm pressing against Qin Xuan's chest.
Qin Xuan screamed in pain.
"Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! Let me go..."
Zhou Songyan's eyes were cold and violent.
"Does it still feel crispy?"
Qin Xuan: "..."
He belatedly realized that Zhou Songyan was jealous because he had said that the girl had a beautiful voice that made him swoon.
"Cough cough cough... I was wrong, I shouldn't have defiled that girl, please let me go."
Zhou Songyan pushed him away.
Qin Xuan rubbed his chest, somewhat confused.
"Old Zhou, who do you actually like? Is it the woman who dumped you five years ago, or that girl named Li Mai?"
Zhou Songyan didn't answer, but downed a glass of wine.
Qin Xuan was extremely anxious.
"You can't like everything, so you're conflicted, and because you despise yourself for being indecisive, you're here drinking your sorrows away, right?"
Zhou Songyan gave him a cold look: "Qin Xuan, you might as well switch careers and become a screenwriter."
"They are one person."
Qin Xuan: "???"
He was completely confused by Zhou Songyan's sudden remark.
"Alone? What do you mean?"
Zhou Songyan gave him a disdainful look.
It was as if they were mocking Qin Xuan's intelligence.
Qin Xuan was stunned for a moment, then jumped up: "Holy crap!!!"
"Is Li Mai that vain woman?"
Zhou Songyan frowned, displeased with Qin Xuan's description of Li Mai.
Watch your words! One more time and we're done!
He can say what others cannot.
Qin Xuan: "..."
It’s over!
This is insane!
Qin Xuan took a while to process the explosive news that Li Mai was the woman who dumped Zhou Songyan back then.
He found it hard to imagine that such a beautiful, gentle girl with a wonderfully sweet voice could be so vain.
However, one cannot judge a book by its cover, nor can one measure the depths of the sea.
You can know a person's face but not their heart.
There are plenty of women who look innocent but are actually vicious and cruel.
Qin Xuan advised, "Old Zhou, you can't capsize on the same boat twice."
There are plenty of beauties out there; if not this one, there will always be another.
Zhou Songyan is different from him.
He passed through a hundred flowers without a single petal clinging to him.
It wouldn't linger for a single flower.
Zhou Songyan is a person with emotional fastidiousness.
Many girls pursued him when he was in school, but he never even glanced at them.
Over the years, he has only dated one woman, Li Mai.
He still remembers a certain night five years ago.
Zhou Songyan called him and Peng Zixu, smiling like a flower.
He said, "I'm in a relationship."
At the time, Peng Zixu and he were both shocked, wondering what kind of girl had won over Zhou Songyan.
They were clamoring for Zhou Songyan to post photos.
Zhou Songyan was reluctant: "Why would I show my girlfriend to you guys?"
However, Zhou Songyan finally told them, "I will take her back during the Spring Festival."
About two months later.
Zhou Songyan quit his job in Suzhou and went back home, looking utterly dejected, as if his soul had been sucked away by a female ghost.
They then learned that Zhou Songyan had been dumped because someone thought he was poor.
It turns out he was hiding his identity from the girl during their relationship.
However, they all felt it was a good decision; they believed that a girl who was so vain was not worth dating.
...
Zhou Songyan eventually died completely from drunkenness.
Qin Xuan took him home before leaving.
After leaving Chunfeng Road, Qin Xuan sat in the car and called Peng Zixu, intending to talk to him about Zhou Songyan.
Peng Zixu did not answer the phone.
...
In the following days, Li Mai did not see Zhou Songyan again.
Until Friday, Li Mai drove a female client to the hotel for Ji Wangyu.
I ran into Zhou Songyan when I came out.
The man, dressed in a sharp, bespoke suit, exuded an aura of unapproachability as he was escorted towards the hotel by a group of subordinates also dressed in suits.
Zhou Songyan saw her, glanced at her coldly, and didn't stop walking.
Li Mai had already prepared herself mentally.
No matter how Zhou Songyan treats her, she must remain calm.
She didn't want to let this man control her emotions.
Li Mai stood to one side, waiting for them to pass first.
Sun Yuanjie walked behind, saw Li Mai, and greeted her with a smile: "Secretary Li."
Li Mai nodded: "Secretary Sun."
"What is Secretary Li doing here?"
"Give it to a customer."
"Okay, I'll head over now."
"Secretary Sun, please get back to your work."
Sun Yuanjie caught up with the group ahead.
Li Mai glanced back at the tall figure at the front of the crowd, then turned and left.
The weekend arrived quickly.
Li Mai took Chengcheng to the library.
This time we went to a large library in the city center, which had a complete collection of books.
Chengcheng loves visiting libraries and can spend hours there at a time.
After watching for three hours, Li Mai was worried that his eyes couldn't take it, so she took him out for a walk.
"Chengcheng, what sport do you like? I'll sign you up for a class."
Chengcheng thought for a moment: "Boxing."
Li Mai smiled and said, "Okay, let's go back and look around near home in a bit. It'll be easier for me to pick you up and drop you off."
"Um."
Chengcheng nodded.
"Mom, there's a grandma over there who's fainted."
Chengcheng suddenly pointed to the distance and said.
Li Mai looked over and saw that there really was an old woman with gray hair lying on the ground.
People kept passing by, but no one went up to them.
Li Mai's eyes darkened, and she hurriedly ran up.
When I saw the old man on the ground.
She was stunned.
She is Zhou Songyan's grandmother.
That kind and amiable old lady.
Li Mai didn't have time to think and handed Chengcheng her phone.
"Honey, call emergency services."
Chengcheng hurriedly grabbed his phone and started operating it.
Li Mai then knelt down to check on the old lady's condition.
He is breathing.
A few minutes later, the ambulance arrived.
Li Mai was worried, so she pulled Chengcheng into the ambulance with her.
He called Zhou Songyan from the car.
When Zhou Songyan saw that Li Mai had actually called him, his heart suddenly raced, and he stood there stunned.
He pursed his lips, composed himself, and then pressed the answer button.
As soon as the call connected, Li Mai hurriedly said, "Mr. Zhou, your grandmother fainted on the road and is on her way to Mingxi Hospital."
Zhou Songyan's budding thoughts vanished completely: "I'll be right there."
I hung up the phone.
Li Mai met Cheng Cheng's questioning gaze.
Li Mai glanced at Grandma Zhou and explained, "Chengcheng, this is Dad's grandma, your great-grandma."
