Chapter 41 Don’t Hook Me Up at This Time
Chen Zan felt as if struck by lightning. She looked at Zhou Jingyu in disbelief at what she had just heard, as if she couldn't believe that such vulgar 'dirty talk' came out of the mouth of Zhou Jingyu, a handsome and ascetic man.
I was even shocked and wanted to confirm: "You just..."
Zhou Jingyu narrowed his eyes dangerously, raised his thigh slightly, brought her closer, and then pressed against her to let her feel it more directly. His voice was as dangerous as ever, "Chen Zan, don't seduce me at this time."
Chen Zhan felt the heat beneath his jeans and instantly became like a frightened deer. He no longer dared to make any small movements, and even his speech became stammering. "Now... now what... what should I do?"
Zhou Jingyu took a deep breath and held the person in his arms, "Let me rest for a while."
Chen Zan was very obedient this time, letting him touch here and pinch there.
"You haven't answered me yet. Why don't you wear the bracelet I gave you?" Zhou Jingyu saw that her wrist was empty.
Speaking of the bracelet, Chen Zhan said sincerely, "The bracelet is too valuable."
She didn't know that Zhou Jingyu was coming back from a business trip today, so she left it at home, thinking of returning it to him when she saw him.
"No matter how valuable it is, it's just a piece of jewelry, not comparable to a person." Zhou Jingyu said nonchalantly, "Here, you go, wear it."
Chen Zan wanted to say that she wouldn’t wear it.
He was also a little annoyed that he didn't bring it with him, so that when he returned the bracelet to him, he could say some words.
Zhang Qing had been waiting outside regularly. Seeing that half an hour had passed, he thought that the time inside should have been enough for the conversation, so he knocked on the car door and asked, "Mr. Zhou, do you want to go over?"
Hearing Zhang Qing's voice, Chen Zan subconsciously wanted to get up from Zhou Jingyu. However, he did not forcefully stop her from leaving, but gently loosened his arms around her waist.
The hint of love in his eyes had faded, and he returned to his usual indifferent expression. He said to Zhang Qing outside the car, "Let's go over there."
Then he said to Chen Zan, "What classes do you have tomorrow? Can you accompany me somewhere tonight?"
Chen Zhan thought for a moment and replied, "Tomorrow is Friday, and I have classes in the afternoon."
Zhou Jingyu tacitly agreed that she could go, and slowly straightened the wrinkles on his body that she had squeezed out. "Send a copy of your class schedule to Zhang Qing so that we can arrange our time when the time comes."
Chen Zan was stunned for a moment and wanted to ask what the arrangement was, but when the words came to her lips, she remembered her current identity and nodded.
Zhou Jingyu heard the sudden drop in mood and lazily tilted his head to look at her, "Why are you unhappy?"
Chen Zhan: "No, everything is up to Mr. Zhou."
Zhou Jingyu felt that this was not what she meant, because the resistance that flashed across her face could not be deceived. "I will take you back to school before twelve o'clock."
He remembered that the curfew in the Rongchuan University dormitory was 12 o'clock.
Chen Zan was stunned again, and the look in his eyes when he looked at Zhou Jingyu became complicated and confused.
Zhou Jingyu smiled lazily: "I said, there's no rush."
Chen Zan didn’t quite believe this before, but now she believes it a little.
Zhang Qing got into the car, without looking back, and silently raised the tailgate.
Jin Hanzhou stood under the tree and watched the Cullinan for as long as it was parked across the street.
——
Zhou Jingyu took Chen Zan to a private club. Compared with the extravagant and ostentatious appearance of the Tang Palace, this private club looked unremarkable on the outside, but it was a different world inside, secretive and elegant, giving people the illusion of being hidden in the city.
Zhang Qing told her that this place is not open to the public and is basically used to receive high-ranking officials, nobles or wealthy capitalists. The furnishings and layout inside are very particular about Feng Shui. Although the area is not as large as the Tang Palace, it is also fully equipped. Moreover, this building has a long history. Compared with this place, the Tang Palace is more like a nouveau riche.
Chen Zan grew up in Rongchuan. He knew about the Tang Palace, but he had no idea that there was such a club hidden in the bustling city center. It was truly an eye-opener.
The waiter led them to the second floor. As soon as they stepped onto the polished old wooden stairs, they heard the soft Wu dialect coming from upstairs.
Chen Zhan's eyes suddenly lit up, "Is it Suzhou Pingtan?"
Zhou Jingyu looked at her in surprise: "You're so young, and you're listening to this?"
Chen Zhan pursed his lips and chuckled, "No, one year during high school, the Chinese Orchestra from Suzhou came to Rongchuan to perform, and Ms. Xu took me with her to go."
After that, he added: "Ms. Xu is my mother, Xu Jing."
Zhou Jingyu raised his eyebrows lazily. Chen Zan's background had been thoroughly investigated long before. Apart from her biological father being unknown, her circle of friends was extremely clean and simple. Her only relatives were Grandma Xu and her mother Xu Jing.
Chen Zan thought that the atmosphere in the club was like that, but after going upstairs, he found that it was different.
An actress in embroidered cheongsam sits in front of a carved window, holding a pipa. Her gestures are agile, and the sound of the pipa's three strings rises, and the soft and melody spreads slowly. Every word and every tune hides the gentleness and delicacy of Jiangnan.
Looking closely at the Pingtan actor with expressive eyes, he looked familiar. Wasn't he the famous actor who had just debuted in the performance she and Ms. Xu watched in high school?
Zhou Jingyu noticed the surprise in her eyes, lowered his head slightly and whispered in his ear, "Ye Jing, a famous Suzhou actor, was invited here by Jiang Yushan with great effort."
After the words fell, the figure behind the screen moved, and someone came out, "Er Qie, you are late, you should be punished."
Jiang Yushan has short black hair, slightly messy but full of wildness, with strong contours of facial features. The collar of his simple white shirt is slightly open, and his whole body is full of unrestrained and unruly spirit.
Perhaps he hadn't expected Zhou Jingyu to bring a guest with him, so when Jiang Yushan saw Chen Zan, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. "Who is this?"
Zhou Jingyu took Chen Zhan's fair hand and introduced her, "Chen Zhan, a student at the School of Foreign Languages, Rongchuan University."
Jiang Yushan heard this, a playful smile on his face, and extended his hand, "Hello, Miss Chen, my name is Jiang Yushan, Zhou Jingyu's childhood friend."
Chen Zhan politely extended his hand, shook it lightly, and then withdrew it, "Hello, Mr. Jiang."
The tone was clear and cold, with an obvious sense of alienation from strangers.
When Zhou Jingyu saw her like this, it reminded him of the same tone she used when she opened the door for him when they first met.
Jiang Yushan snorted and laughed, his tone intriguing, "Zhou Er, you really thought you were a clean person. It seems that the emperor is far away and can't control you."
Zhou Jingyu glanced at him and said in a cold tone, "Jiang San, you talk too much."
Jiang Yushan shrugged. "Hurry up, brother. I flew all the way here, and you left me and the others here for two hours."
Then Ye Jing said, "I'll leave Miss Chen to you. Take good care of her."
Ye Jing put down her pipa and came to Chen Zhan, "Mr. Zhou, you can rest assured that Miss Chen will be in my care."
Zhou Jingyu nodded slightly to Ye Jing before looking at Chen Zan.
She knew what he meant, "Mr. Zhou, go about your business."
Zhou Jingyu: "Play cards with them for a while, and then I'll take you back to school."
Chen Zan nodded obediently.
Jiang Yushan and Zhou Jingyu went behind the screen first.
Ye Jing pulled Chen Zan towards the small door nearby and asked carefully, "Miss Chen is from Rongchuan, so she must know how to play mahjong, right?"
Before Chen Zhan left, he subconsciously glanced behind the screen. There were several middle-aged men sitting there. One of them was the mayor of Rong City, whom Chen Zhan had seen on TV.
Before entering, she seemed to hear Jiang Yushan's unremarkable voice coming from behind the screen, "Second brother, I used to see you dislike those ladies from the capital, but I didn't expect you to like raising female students. When I first arrived here, I heard that you crippled the hand of Old Man Wei's beloved son because of her. I thought it was fake..."
Chen Zan didn't hear what Zhou Jingyu said next.
