Chapter 81 What do you like about me?
When Zhou Cheng came back, he saw Su Qingyan half-undressed and lying on the bed fiddling with his cell phone.
"Why do you go to bed without changing your clothes?" Zhou Cheng's mysophobia flared up again.
"Take it off wherever it touches the bed."
Su Qingyan raised his body, and the shirt draped over his body slid down again, revealing his smooth shoulders and curvy back. He bent his legs again, and his trousers fell to his ankles.
"So lazy?"
Zhou Cheng walked over, stripped him naked, and then hung up his clothes.
"I have to wait for you to take it off for me." Su Qingyan said with a smile, then threw the phone aside, put his arms around Zhou Cheng's neck and kissed his chin, "Your stubble grows so fast."
"I'll shave in the morning." Zhou Cheng was not in a good mood. He lay down on the bed, covered himself with the quilt and prepared to go to sleep.
He felt that his life, while seemingly peaceful on the surface, was already decaying and rotting within, emitting a faint aura of death. Meeting Su Qingyan had brought a new source of fresh air to his stagnant waters, but if the fundamental problems weren't addressed, he would eventually be assimilated. What right did he have to drag the Azure Dragon from the sky to his place?
"What's wrong with you?" Su Qingyan asked Zhou Cheng when she saw that he looked depressed again.
"Xiao Su, what do you like about me?" Zhou Cheng looked up at Su Qingyan and asked this question again.
"What's wrong?" Su Qingyan felt that Zhou Cheng's intermittent emotional disorder had recurred.
"I'm much older than you, and I'm so busy with work that I don't have much time to accompany you. The situation at home is also a mess. I can't provide much emotional value, and the material conditions are incomparable. With your conditions, there is nothing you can't find. Why do you like me?" Zhou Cheng analyzed clearly.
"Are you crazy? Do you think you are just a carrot or a vegetable, sold according to your appearance?" Su Qingyan pulled up his hand and shook it.
"The price-performance ratio is not high." Zhou Cheng muttered.
In fact, he never understood what Su Qingyan liked about him. It was because he had never met anyone like him in his circle, which made him feel very fresh. But once the novelty wore off, it would become a thing of the past.
"I'm attracted by your beauty. Isn't it enough that you're so handsome?" Su Qingyan pinched Zhou Cheng's cheek.
"I don't take any preservatives. Will you still like me if I become a Mediterranean like Li Yu in a few years?" Zhou Cheng pushed Su Qingyan's hand away.
"When will you change your loan anxiety? You're the king of internal friction."
"It's not that I'm internally frustrated, it's that I really..." Zhou Cheng thought about it for a moment, then said, "I really am not worthy of you."
Su Qingyan didn't expect him to say that. He always thought that he was the one being disliked.
"Help... You're usually so... Why are you suddenly so... inferior? Have you been possessed?" Su Qingyan shook Zhou Cheng's shoulders vigorously, "No matter who you are, get off Zhou Cheng!"
"Stop it..." Zhou Cheng pushed Su Qingyan away helplessly.
"What are you worried about?" Su Qingyan became serious when he saw that he was still worried no matter how he tried to liven up the atmosphere.
"I'm afraid you'll find it troublesome and boring, and we'll separate in the future," Zhou Cheng said.
"Am I such a scumbag in your heart?" Su Qingyan sighed.
"Maybe it's my problem. I want a long-term and stable relationship and don't want too many uncertainties." Zhou Cheng began to reflect on himself.
"To put it simply, is it about dating with the intention of getting married?" Su Qingyan hit the nail on the head.
Zhou Cheng paused, then nodded.
"Then why did you break up with Xiao Han? Didn't you say you would be together for life?" Su Qingyan asked after seeing him nod.
Zhou Cheng fell silent again.
"Even after getting married, there are still so many divorces. This world is full of instability. Can you please stop being so stubborn?" Su Qingyan reached out and hugged him.
"I don't want to either..." Zhou Cheng replied in a muffled voice.
"Don't worry, this is the capital you can live on for the rest of your life." Su Qingyan gently tapped the wound on his back, "I'm already trapped by you, and now you should be worried about me. You won't abandon me after having an affair with me, right?"
"What nonsense are you talking about." Zhou Cheng hugged him back.
"How about we go abroad to register?" Su Qingyan raised her head and looked at Zhou Cheng with bright eyes. "No, no, I haven't proposed yet."
"Your thinking is too jumpy." Zhou Cheng patted his head.
"No, I have to get Old Su back. He keeps me tied up every day and has delayed my important life events." Su Qingyan raised his body to pick up the mobile phone that was thrown aside.
"Wait, wait." Zhou Cheng stopped him, "Have you forgotten your father told you to be more cautious in doing things?"
"Okay." Su Qingyan sat down cross-legged. "Where should I take Auntie shopping tomorrow? What does she like?"
"No, let her go back tomorrow." Zhou Cheng felt it was embarrassing to talk about these things in his family.
"She came here by herself, such a long way, and you let her leave tomorrow?" Su Qingyan couldn't understand why Zhou Cheng was so hostile to his family.
"I know you've done all this for me," Zhou Cheng reached out and pulled Su Qingyan over, letting him lean against his chest. "But they're different from your parents. I'll find a way to talk to them. It might take a while. Can you wait for me?"
Su Qingyan felt really annoyed. After dating Zhou Cheng for a long time, she began to become as old-fashioned as him. Now she felt that hugging and chatting before going to bed made her feel more happy than having sex.
The next morning, Aunt Liu had already prepared a large table of breakfast. When Zhou Cheng went downstairs to the dining room, he felt that the bowls of soup on the table were very strange, so he looked at Su Qingyan warily. Su Qingyan shrugged and told him that not all aunts in the family were keen on making the Ten-Ingredient Tonic Soup.
They waited for a while but Cheng Muxi didn't come to the restaurant, so Zhou Cheng got up to look for her. After searching around, he still couldn't find her, so he called her and found out that she had already had breakfast and went to the greenhouse behind the villa with Aunt Liu.
"You still grow flowers?" Zhou Cheng asked Su Qingyan in confusion.
"My mother grows them. Their greenhouse is full, so she put some here with me. She wants to see flowers all year round, but Mincheng is too cold in winter. Unlike Xinghai, she can't plant them directly in the yard, so she built these greenhouses." Su Qingyan explained.
"She also likes to grow flowers and plants. She told me before that when she first got married to my dad, because she liked growing flowers, my grandmother said that if she fiddled with them every day, she would give birth to daughters instead of sons." Zhou Cheng laughed self-deprecatingly after he finished speaking.
"Your family is so feudal..." Su Qingyan felt suffocated after hearing his words.
"My grandfather was a university graduate of that era. After graduation, he stayed on to teach at the university, and my father inherited his legacy. After they got married, the university arranged for family members to work, so my mother stayed at the university as well. So she didn't rebel against her family and was willing to be an appendage."
Zhou Cheng poured Su Qingyan a cup of hot milk, then went to the refrigerator to get a new box of milk, poured it into the cup, and added a few ice cubes.
"When I was born, my whole family was very happy, and then my entire life was inevitably planned. So far, everything has been going according to the predetermined trajectory, except for getting married and having children." Zhou Cheng said this and drank the milk in one breath.
"Excuse me, is Grandpa in good health and spirits now?" Su Qingyan felt that the root of Zhou Cheng's family's problems was this old man.
"He's still alive." Zhou Cheng walked back and rubbed Su Qingyan's head after saying that. "Why? Do you want to capture him?"
"I also want to have such great ability. I will study it." Su Qingyan replied seriously.
After breakfast, Su Qingyan took Zhou Cheng to the greenhouse. As soon as they opened the door, it seemed as if spring had arrived early. The moist air with the sweet fragrance of flowers blew in their faces, and colorful flowers were vying for beauty and arranged in an orderly manner.
"This greenhouse is not big. If Auntie likes it, I'll take her to the greenhouse next door later." Su Qingyan picked a red rose and put it in Zhou Cheng's chest pocket.
"Don't pick them randomly," Zhou Cheng wanted to stop him, but Su Qingyan's hands were too fast.
