Chapter 15
......
It turned out that at that time, Zhou Yue's mother accidentally met his current stepfather and wanted to move to Hong Kong with him to settle down. Zhou Yue was not optimistic about his mother's feelings at first and resolutely obstructed her, but to no avail.
He was busy with household chores during that time, and out of some teenage pride, he did not tell Cheng Cheng, which led to a misunderstanding.
"I didn't receive the text message you sent me." Zhou Yue's Adam's apple rolled for a long time as he said this with difficulty.
Cheng Cheng: “….”
How come I didn’t receive it?
"It's true." Seeing Cheng Cheng's distrust, Zhou Yue raised his hand and swore, "I really didn't receive it. I was with my mother in Hong Kong during that time. I only received the text message you said you wanted to break up."
"...Later, I found a chance to go back and see you, and I found out you were in a relationship, so I stopped bothering you."
Cheng Cheng sneered: "You are lying."
"I haven't been in a relationship since I broke up with you."
Zhou Yue was puzzled at first, then suppressed his inner excitement and said, "That time I went to your school to look for you, and saw a boy sending you back to the dormitory. You guys..."
Cheng Cheng said unhappily, "That's a male best friend of mine. He's gay. Sometimes he just gives me a ride back to the dorm after training."
Zhou Yue: “........Oh, that’s great, uh no, I mean…” He was a little incoherent.
After the two of them spoke out what was buried in their hearts, they actually felt a little at a loss.
It turns out that all the love and hate were a misunderstanding.
Ultimately, young feelings are too immature and fragile to withstand storms and tests.
Zhou Yue: "Then..."
Cheng Cheng: "Then..."
Both of them spoke at the same time.
Cheng Cheng lowered her eyes shyly, picked up her phone and pretended to be busy: "They are so slow in processing that file, why haven't they come back yet?" She touched her nose awkwardly.
"They won't come back without my order," said Zhou Yue.
Cheng Cheng glared at him: "........" She was just making small talk, it was his fault for answering.
Zhou Yue saw that the time was right, so he said, "I have a gift for you, it's in my car..."
"But Sister Qing and the others haven't come back yet," Cheng Cheng hesitated.
"Don't you know who I'm here for?" Zhou Yue said bluntly, "Just let them talk. I'll take you home."
Zhou Yue finally showed his dominance and took Cheng Cheng's hand without saying anything.
Cheng Cheng's face turned red. After a symbolic struggle, she let Zhou Yue lead her.
There was a Bentley parked in the underground parking lot.
Zhou Yue first opened the passenger door and let Cheng Cheng sit in.
Cheng Cheng was puzzled: "Where is your driver?"
Zhou Yue walked into the driver's seat and said with a smile: "I just asked him to go back. We don't want a third person in our space."
"Oh." Cheng Cheng blinked and looked particularly well-behaved.
All the arrogance and domineering attitude from before is gone, just like a kitten that has kept its claws retracted.
Zhou Yue slowly started the car.
Before he even left the parking lot, he stopped again.
"What's wrong?" Cheng Cheng turned to look at him.
Zhou Yue suddenly leaned over and pressed his entire body against Cheng Cheng.
Cheng Cheng's eyes widened in panic, his whole body stiff and he dared not move.
The tip of Zhou Yue's nose was less than five centimeters away from her lips, and his breath sprayed on her face.
Cheng Cheng's heart began to beat violently. Although she didn't have a mirror, she could tell from the feverish heat on her face that her neck to her ears must be red.
Zhou Yue just stared at him without saying a word, his eyes straightforward.
Cheng Cheng didn't even dare to speak, for fear that he would kiss her as soon as she opened her mouth.
In fact, even in the past...they had kissed only a few times and never crossed the line.
Zhou Yue respected her very much.
Thinking of the past, Cheng Cheng felt a little sweet in his heart.
The two of them stood in a standoff for a long time before Zhou Yue spoke up, a smirk on his lips as he said, "Don't you want to wear a seat belt?"
"Click--" the seat belt is locked.
Zhou Yue retracted his body and continued driving.
It took Cheng Cheng a few seconds to realize that he had been tricked.
Good job, Zhou Yue.
The traffic light at the intersection ahead was red. While Zhou Yue was waiting for the traffic light to turn red, Cheng Cheng suddenly attacked.
The small hand pinched a piece of flesh on his thigh and twisted it hard.
Zhou Yue felt pain and groaned.
Seeing Cheng Cheng's smug look, he smiled instead of getting angry and praised her: "Good job pinching. It would be even better if you pinch it a little higher next time."
Cheng Cheng understood immediately: “.......!” His face, which had not yet subsided, became even redder.
Now she didn't dare to do anything anymore, so she turned her head to look out the car window, pretending to appreciate the scenery.
Before I knew it, I was downstairs of Cheng Cheng's house.
Cheng Cheng just remembered: "How do you know I live here?"
Zhou Yue's eyes were filled with affection: "When you didn't know, I often watched you downstairs."
He pulled out a small box from the car like a magic trick: "Here, this is for you."
Cheng Cheng took it expectantly: "What's inside?"
"You'll know when you open it yourself."
"Then I'm going to take it home and read it secretly!" Cheng Cheng pouted and acted coquettishly.
"Okay, okay, whatever you say." Zhou Yue said lovingly.
"Then I'll leave." Cheng Cheng waved his hand.
Zhou Yue: "Why don't you invite me upstairs?"
Cheng Cheng blinked mischievously: "Who are you? I haven't agreed yet."
Zhou Yue's heart was filled with love, and everything Cheng Cheng said was right: "Okay, okay, I will try my best to perform well and apply for regularization as soon as possible. Please organize an inspection of me."
"I'm really leaving, bye~" Cheng Cheng bent down and looked at the man in the car reluctantly.
Cheng Cheng opened the gift box after watching the car downstairs drive away on the balcony.
It's a star necklace.
The thin platinum chain had no exaggerated diamonds or jewels, and the pendant was a simple star shape that looked like it was handmade. To be honest, it wasn't perfect, but Cheng Cheng felt warm in his heart.
He still remembered that he liked to look at the stars, and this must have been made by Zhou Yue.
Cheng Cheng couldn't wait to put it on and looked at himself in the mirror for a long time.
I took a photo and sent it to Zhou Yue, and said stubbornly: Where did you buy this? The workmanship is not good.
Zhou Yue was still driving and sent a voice message: Well, this master is a novice and his skills are not good. Can you give him a few more chances to let him practice?
Zhou Yue's voice was low but with a smile. Cheng Cheng, this duplicity guy, obviously liked it so much that he put it on immediately, but he still found fault with it on purpose.
——————
"Tell me, what's going on between you two?" Su Qing threw her phone on the table and leaned back in her chair with her arms folded.
She specifically turned down her work to come to Cheng Cheng to get to the bottom of things.
She saw the eye contact between Cheng Cheng and Zhou Yue yesterday.
In the end, he even abandoned her and Mr. Lu and ran away together.
Su Qing now has too many questions in her mind and is waiting for Cheng Cheng to answer them.
Cheng Cheng sat obediently on the small stool, rubbed his hands and smiled.
"It's shameful to act cute, speak up." Su Qing said sternly.
Cheng Cheng: "We knew each other before and were together."
"You actually know Zhou Yue, why didn't you tell me before?" It would have been great if I had taken advantage of such a good relationship earlier, Su Qing thought.
Cheng Cheng quickly stated that he had no intention of deceiving Su Qing: "We broke up a long time ago, and I hadn't even entered the circle at that time."
"So what is your relationship now?" Su Qing went straight to the point.
Cheng Cheng was stunned by the question. She, she didn't know what their relationship was now.
"...I don't know. We just reconnected."
Su Qing's eyes lit up: "In other words, he is still pursuing you, right?"
Cheng Cheng: "Uh, kind of... right?"
"Great!" Su Qing clapped her hands. "The meat that's not yet in your mouth is the most delicious. Don't agree so quickly. Zhou Yue is such a man. If we try so hard to get the resources, someone will give them to us as soon as he asks."
Cheng Cheng's originally warm heart seemed to be poured with a bucket of cold water: "......"
She was very disgusted with Su Qing's words, as if she was treated as an object.
"Sister Qing, I am me and he is him. Even if we are together one day, I will not ask anything of him, let alone now." Cheng Cheng looked unhappy.
"I got my job based on my ability, not on anyone's face." Cheng Cheng said firmly.
Su Qing was also concerned about Cheng Cheng's future. She was a little angry after being refuted, and in desperation she revealed a secret that had been hidden for a long time.
"Without relying on others?" Su Qing sneered, "How did you get the role of Qingyao? If Zhou Yue hadn't privately asked Miao Hongzhi to speak up for you, do you think the role of the second female lead would have fallen to a newcomer?"
Su Qing has long known that Cheng Cheng's Qingyao role was not operated by the company, but she has never known who was behind the scenes. Yesterday, after she became suspicious of the relationship between Zhou Yue and Cheng Cheng, she followed the clues to investigate and found out that it was Zhou Yue who did it.
Cheng Cheng was stunned when he heard this: "........"
Seeing Cheng Cheng's dazed look, Su Qing felt a little reluctant. She admired Cheng Cheng's clean and simple character, but sometimes he couldn't be too stupid.
Because Cheng Cheng didn't like dinner parties, Su Qing never forced her, and therefore missed many opportunities.
Sometimes you don’t need to do anything at a dinner party. Just drink a few glasses of wine and say nice things and you can get the opportunity to stand out.
But Cheng Cheng didn't want to, and Su Qing was worried that she wasn't good enough at dealing with people and might get into trouble, so she just let her go.
Cheng Cheng didn't want to hype up their CP, and although Su Qing was unhappy, she didn't say anything.
But this is different.
Zhou Yue and Cheng Cheng don't have a relationship that can't be made public, so what's wrong with borrowing some power?
"Cheng Cheng, what I mean is..." Su Qing softened her tone and leaned over to persuade Cheng Cheng again.
"Sister Qing, you don't have to say anything—" Cheng Cheng raised his head, his eyes, distinct from black and white, clear and bright. "I would rather remain in obscurity than change my principles."
Su Qing looked at this stubborn woman and left with a feeling of disappointment.
Compared to what Su Qing said, Cheng Cheng was more angry about the company's deception.
It was obvious that the role was not obtained by the company, but they took the credit for it and deceived themselves into thinking that they were working like a slave for them.
What made Cheng Cheng even more disappointed was Su Qing.
It was in vain that she trusted her so much. Su Qing knew about this but hid it from her.
Cheng Cheng's mind is in a mess now.
Just at this moment, Zhou Yue called.
"What are you doing, huh?" Zhou Yue's voice was low. He was on a business trip at the moment. He had just taken a shower and was wearing a bathrobe. He was wiping his hair with a towel while talking to Cheng Cheng on the phone.
Cheng Cheng was in a bad mood, and Zhou Yue was caught in the crossfire.
Thinking of what Su Qing had just said, Cheng Cheng asked back: "Are you hiding something from me?"
"Confess the truth and try to get an exaggerated punishment."
Zhou Yue was shocked. Something really happened today, but how did Cheng Cheng know about it?
Zhou Yue couldn't help but look around.
He was a staunch materialist, but at this moment he couldn't help but think in a supernatural direction.
He made a decisive and frank confession: "Baby, listen to my explanation. I did meet that blind date today, but it was an accident..."
Cheng Cheng, who had never expected to have such a new discovery, responded: "?"
