Li Zhou was never a well-behaved student since childhood, and he often traveled abroad, so he saw a lot of things. After all, these things could be watched for a fee when he was abroad, and Li Zhou watched quite a lot of them.
But he didn't expect Shen Zhuyu to be even more extreme than him.
She has such a large collection of magazines.
They're all limited editions from island nations.
There were several magazines that Li Zhou was famous for when he was in school, and they were so hard to find that they were all out of print. Yet, Chen Zhuyu was able to buy them.
Li Zhou watched with great interest, but as he watched, he couldn't help but let his mind wander. A person appeared in his mind's eye, slender yet hot, not very tall. Li Zhou thought it was Sun Xiaoya, after all, Sun Xiaoya was his only fantasy object.
But at the last moment, Shen Zhuyu's face appeared in his mind.
Li Zhou was struck dumb! He was completely stunned. He opened his eyes in disbelief, as if he was frightened by himself, and guiltily threw the magazine far away.
How could that be! They've only known each other for a few days, and besides, she's not his type. He just broke up with his girlfriend and is heartbroken.
But he just couldn't stop thinking about Shen Zhuyu. He even fantasized about other things, imagining that Shen Zhuyu would please him just like in the magazine.
Li Zhou was angry with himself.
What did he say when he was drinking yesterday? "Sever all ties with love! I'll never fall into the pit of love again in this lifetime!" But only a few days later, he's already having this strange idea!
Li Zhou wanted to slap himself.
He stuffed the magazine downstairs, went out to buy groceries, and while cooking, he played Zuo Ran's songs. Zuo Ran was the most famous artist in China, and Li Zhou quite liked Zuo Ran's musical style.
The doorbell rang. Li Zhou paused for a moment, then went to open the door. A man was standing outside.
Mi Fei frowned when he saw Li Zhou. "Who are you?"
Li Zhou glanced at Mi Fei, scrutinized him for a long time, and then asked him, "Who are you?"
"Where's Shen Zhuyu? I've been calling her but she's not answering. Is she not home?"
Li Zhou raised an eyebrow. "Shen Zhuyu has gone to work. I'm her boyfriend, so it's the same if she tells me anything!"
Mi Fei stared at Li Zhou for a long time, as if she had heard a joke, her face darkening. "You're not her type, stop lying!"
Li Zhou laughed too, "I'm not her type? You have no idea how happy Shen Zhuyu is with me! We young boys are the best at pleasing older women. We're sweet-talking, handsome, and have great figures. When older women see us, they're always overjoyed. It's not that older women don't like me, it's that you don't understand them."
He kept calling her "sister," which infuriated Mi Fei.
Mi Fei has been suffering a lot these past few years. He really likes Shen Zhuyu and has always wanted to be with her. They were almost in a relationship when he ran into his ex-girlfriend He Xinyan at a dinner party.
He got drunk that day, and when he woke up, he was lying in bed with He Xinyan. Although they didn't do anything, Mi Fei couldn't explain it clearly. He Xinyan even sent their photos to Shen Zhuyu.
At that time, Mi Fei did nothing.
But Shen Zhuyu didn't believe it. She had been hurt since childhood and found it hard to trust others. It took Mi Fei many years to get her to lower her guard, but all his efforts were in vain.
Later, Mi Fei punished He Xinyan, making her suffer terribly, but his relationship with Shen Zhuyu could not be restored.
Mi Fei was in a lot of pain. In fact, they hadn't been in contact much in the past few years, but Mi Fei just couldn't forget her.
Li Zhou's rude words infuriated Mi Fei. Mi Fei clenched his fists, wanting to punch Li Zhou, but before he could hit Li Zhou, Shen Zhuyu returned.
Shen Zhuyu rushed up to Li Zhou, acting protectively, "Mi Fei, what's wrong with you? Didn't we agree not to contact each other?"
Mi Fei was in great pain. He had never been able to forget Shen Zhuyu all these years, yet Shen Zhuyu was actually protecting this man.
Li Zhou felt great. He didn't know why, but he just wanted Shen Zhuyu to rush in front of him and protect him! Li Zhou had never tasted this kind of favoritism before, and he suddenly felt that Shen Zhuyu's shoulder was very warm.
"Zhuyu, shall we talk?" Mi Fei asked, looking somewhat dejected.
Shen Zhuyu shook her head, saying that she and Mi Fei were simply not meant to be.
"Alright, Mi Fei, let's all look ahead."
Mi Fei was hurt by those words. He didn't say anything and left in silence.
After he left, Shen Zhuyu turned to look at Li Zhou, "You didn't get beaten up, did you?"
Li Zhou shook his head, a slight smile playing on his lips. "Luckily you came back in time, you didn't get beaten up. By the way, who is he? Your ex-boyfriend?"
Shen Zhuyu didn't know how to describe her relationship with Mi Fei. It was more like friends than lovers. In any case, the two had never dated. Mi Fei seemed to like her quite a bit, and he didn't think he had wronged her, but they just lacked a certain kind of fate.
Moreover, Mi Fei's mother didn't approve of her.
Shen Zhuyu didn't want to be chosen.
She wants to be favored.
Shen Zhuyu briefly recounted her story with Mi Fei, then scoffed, "You have the nerve to talk to me like that? And you? You're completely drunk, did your girlfriend dump you? Are you hurt?"
Li Zhou didn't want to mention Sun Xiaoya anymore. "She's injured, very badly injured, so you have to be good to me and not leave me riddled with wounds."
"You're getting cocky just because I called you fat. Is dinner ready yet?"
"Oh! The rice in the pot!"
Dinner was a disappointment, as one of the dishes was burnt, and the whole house smelled burnt.
However, with a man in the house doing the laundry and cooking, Shen Zhuyu felt that life was not bad.
Shen Zhuyu originally wanted to wash the clothes, but the power suddenly went out at home, so she could only go to sleep, thinking she would wash the clothes the next day. However, the next morning, she received a call saying that there was a problem with a batch of clothes from Mandarin, and she needed to go back to the company to deal with it.
