Chapter 146: Gathering Together
The sky outside was indeed getting dark very quickly. Dark clouds almost covered the entire sky. The shadows of the trees were shaking, and the dead branches and fallen leaves were blowing up.
Chen Congyu had her back to the window, and the wind blew in, ruffling her hair.
Jiang Xilin withdrew his gaze and passed by her.
Just as Shen Congyu was about to breathe a sigh of relief, Zhou Yu and the partner walked into the corridor they had just walked through. Seeing her, he said, "So you are here."
Jiang Xilin and Duan Ke, who had only walked a few steps away, heard this.
They had known Zhou Yu longer than Chen Congyu, and when they heard his voice, they both turned around.
Now the situation is clear. It is obvious that the person Chen Congyu was waiting for is Zhou Yu.
Duan Ke was surprised and took the lead in greeting Zhou Yu, "Mr. Zhou, it turns out that Miss Shen's friend is you."
Zhou Yu had also walked up to the few people. He stopped beside Shen Congyu. He was unaware of anything and greeted Duan Ke and Jiang Xilin naturally.
Then he said to Jiang Xilin, "I didn't expect you guys to be here too. Are you getting ready to leave?"
Jiang Xilin glanced at Shen Congyu's face and spoke to Zhou Yu as well: "Well, we had already left, but Xiao Ke forgot something here, so we came back to get it."
Zhou Yu also nodded. In front of the partners, he did not call Shen Congyu "Miss Shen", but called her Congyu.
"The typhoon seems to have arrived early. Should we go back now?"
Whatever Chen Congyu fears will come true.
She could feel Zhou Yu calling her affectionately and then Jiang Xilin's gaze.
There was no other way, she had to bite the bullet and agree, "Okay, I'm fine with anything."
At this time, Duan Ke smiled and said, "Mr. Zhou and Miss Shen have such a good relationship. I don't think I heard about it before."
The partner said reluctantly: “Yes, Yu is also pursuing Miss Shen, I didn’t expect it, alas, he is so low-key that I am afraid I will not receive the news until they are about to get married in the future.”
Zhou Yu also laughed, knowing that the other party was somewhat unhappy, so he continued jokingly: "No, we will definitely tell you early when we get married."
Hearing these words, Shen Congyu's heart trembled and his palms sweated.
She took a step forward and walked to Zhou Yuye's side. Before she could say anything, she heard Jiang Xilin say, "When did this happen? You've kept it a secret."
"I want to wait until it's stable."
Zhou Yu was also the one who didn't know the inside story, and had no idea what the other three people, including Chen Congyu, thought about what he said.
She hoped Zhou Yu would talk less. Even if it was just acting, there were other people besides the partners. How would she explain it later if she talked too much?
In her haste, she tugged at Zhou Yuye's sleeve without noticing, "Let's go first. I'm afraid it will be difficult to drive down the mountain if we're late."
The racecourse is built in the suburbs, with a large area, good environment, and far away from the hustle and bustle. When the weather is good, it is a good place for travel and relaxation, but it looks much more desolate when the weather is bad.
But this is just an excuse for Shen Congyu.
Compared with Jiang Xilin, the danger of going down the mountain during a typhoon is nothing.
Zhou Yu also said: "Okay, let's go."
Chen Congyu naturally wanted to follow him and leave. Jiang Xilin's eyes stayed on their arms touching each other.
Just as he was about to leave, Duan Ke smiled and said, "Mr. Zhou, please introduce yourself to us formally someday if you have the chance."
Regardless of whether it was out of courtesy or not, Duan Ke's words sounded perfectly normal.
Chen Congyu frowned and looked at her.
Zhou Yu also agreed directly.
She tried her best to avoid eye contact with Jiang Xilin, but failed. In just a moment, she could still see the mockery and coldness in his eyes.
It keeps reappearing before my eyes.
Chen Congyu was wondering if she should take a good look at the almanac before going out in the future.
She and Zhou Yu had just become friends when Jiang Xilin caught her red-handed. How could she explain it to him so that he would believe her?
When she left with Zhou Yu, Shen Congyu's mind was full of Jiang Xilin.
She was absent-minded and didn't pay attention to what the people at the horse farm said to Zhou Yuye and the others, nor did she notice that Zhou Yuye stopped and she bumped into him.
"...I'm sorry." Shen Congyu apologized while covering the tip of his nose.
Zhou Yu didn't care and looked at the weather outside. The rain started falling and it turned into a downpour almost in an instant.
Haicheng is a coastal city and has experienced many typhoons. Such weather is unpredictable and changeable, and the current situation is truly unexpected.
"The people at the horse farm don't recommend that we leave now. I'm sorry, but I originally thought that the typhoon wouldn't come for the time being after we go back tonight. I was inconsiderate." Zhou Yu also explained the situation to Shen Congyu.
Chen Congyu also looked at the forecast. The typhoon should have landed at night. She knew that this situation could not be planned, and she couldn't blame Zhou Yu for anything.
She shook her head. "It's okay. No one expected such a sudden change."
"There's accommodation here. Let's go rest for a while and then see what's going on, okay?"
The people at the stable had arranged everything. Fortunately, there weren't many guests today, so there were plenty of rooms for accommodation.
The corridor connected to the two-story building at the back. When passing under the corridor, the wind blew up the hem of her clothes. Shen Congyu raised her hand to hold it down. Through the dim rain curtain and the window, she saw that Jiang Xilin and Duan Ke were unable to leave.
The room assigned to Chen Congyu was on the second floor, and Zhou Yu was next door. The partner probably didn't want to see the two of them being intimate, so he chose a room at the other end.
Chen Congyu and Zhou Yu also separated in the corridor and entered the room.
Without turning on the lights, the room was completely dark. The wind was howling outside the window, carrying raindrops and hitting the glass, making quite a noise.
Chen Congyu touched his cold arm, turned on all the lights, and closed the curtains, which seemed to alleviate some of the bad effects of the bad weather.
After sitting down, Shen Congyu couldn't help but think of Jiang Xilin and where his room was.
The more she wanted to separate from him quickly, the more they gathered on these two floors because of the weather.
Her cell phone was running out of battery, and Chen Congyu had a charger in her bag. As soon as she plugged it in, all the lights in the room suddenly went out in an instant.
The empty room was immediately shrouded in darkness.
Shen Congyu pressed the light switch, but there was no response, as if there was a power outage.
There was a knock on the door soon, and Zhou Yuye's voice appeared at the door. Shen Congyu opened the door and heard from him that there was indeed a power outage. He asked her to stay in the room and he would send the lighting equipment over later.
"Okay, thank you for your help."
Zhou Yu also said helplessly: "I should be the one to tell you about the trouble. After all, it was me who asked you to accompany me here, and ended up in this situation. Don't worry, I will help you arrange it."
Shen Congyu nodded.
She was not worried that Zhou Yu would ignore him, but at the same time she was worried that Jiang Xilin might see them.
Zhou Yu also left, and Shen Congyu was about to go back to sit on the sofa, but just as he touched it, the door knocked again.
She thought Zhou Yu had forgotten to say something, so she went to open the door. However, when the door opened, a strange man rushed in.
The other party had a clear goal. As soon as he came in, he hugged Shen Congyu, and Shen Congyu screamed in fear.
