Chapter 31: Thirty-one billion "Sister, I don't want to be a mistress..."
Xu Zhanyan arrived more than 20 minutes earlier than the agreed time. When he arrived at the gate of Chenhong, the security guard stopped him and told him to contact the owner. If no owner came to pick him up, he would not be able to enter. This was a mandatory rule.
Xu Zhanyan was worried, so she sent a message to Xin Jingli. If she was still outside, she would rush back and affect her affairs.
Since he had arrived early in the first place, it didn't matter if he waited a little longer. Xu Zhanyan sat down beside the security booth with a pile of lunch boxes in his arms.
If she came back, he would be able to see her just by turning his head.
Unexpectedly, after waiting for an hour, there was still no sign of anyone.
Although Xin Jingli mentioned contacting her, Xu Zhanyan was too embarrassed to send her a message when she saw that she had not returned for a long time. She must have had something urgent to deal with since she had not returned for such a long time.
She is so rich, she must be very busy at work, maybe even working overtime, negotiating contracts where millions of dollars are exchanged every minute. He should just wait a little longer.
Xu Zhanyan was still holding the box.
There were six lunch boxes in total, all filled with dishes cooked by my mother. There was nothing expensive at home that could be given as a gift. Mother Xu was a delicious cook and had been a chef before. She went to the vegetable market early this morning and bought some seafood that had never been seen at home, including lobsters, abalone, etc. She bought whatever was expensive. She thought that rich people had picky appetites, so she specially cooked according to the recipes of five-star restaurants.
The bag that contained the lunch box was the one they had received as a gift when they bought clothes more than a year ago. It was made of snakeskin and was tattered. The rope had been worn into two thin pieces, with threads sticking out.
Xu Zhanyan guarded it carefully, fearing that it would be knocked over.
Even after waiting for a long time, he was still in a good mood. After they last met, he often wondered when she would message him, and whether he should hold a graduation banquet and invite her to his house for a meal.
But when he thought of his small rental house and the large suite she lived in, Xu Zhanyan gave up the idea.
It’s better to wait until you make some money before treating her to a meal, so as not to let her down.
Time passed minute by minute, and after another 20 minutes, the sound of bicycle wheels rolling over the ground was heard at the bend in the road.
Bicycle? She must be back. She was riding a bicycle the last time we met.
Xu Zhanyan stood up holding the bag, grinning awkwardly.
He was not the kind of person who loved to laugh, but he was willing to practice more for her. Before this, he practiced in front of the mirror many times, just to make himself look less lifeless and dull, so that when he was with her and had no topics to talk about, he would not be too dry.
Xin Jingli's slender figure jumped into his sight, and Xu Zhanyan's originally businesslike smile was filled with joy.
It had been a long time since we last saw each other. She was more cheerful than last time. The moonlight and starlight shone on her smiling face, hitting his pupils and making his heart pound.
Xu Zhanyan felt that he had not felt this way for a long time. No, it should be said that this was the first time he experienced this feeling. His heart was about to leave his body, out of control and disorder.
He raised his foot to take a step forward and wanted to call her, but the next second, the boy's smile and body froze at the same time.
There was another bicycle behind Xin Jingli. They were originally quite far away, but Xin Jingli pressed the brakes and turned to the person and said, "Hurry up and catch up."
She is waiting for that man.
After the man walked side by side with her, Xu Zhanyan saw clearly that the man had obvious muscles in his arms. He was wearing a mask and a baseball cap that blocked the moonlight, leaving a heavy shadow, but it could not cover up his sharp eyes.
His eyes were bright and he kept staring at Xin Jingli, as if he was worried that she might be in danger.
If you don't have deep feelings for someone, how can you care about him so much?
Although he couldn't see the man's face, Xu Zhanyan could feel that he was a good-looking guy.
Why use it?
After meeting Xin Jingli, Xu Zhanyan judged his appearance for the first time. For the first time, he was grateful that he was good-looking, which made her notice him, allowing him to stand by her side and be a little bit worthy of her.
But now...
So...he's not the only good-looking man around her.
In that instant, it felt like something exploded in his chest. The pain was so severe that Xu Zhanyan curled up his fingers and grabbed the outside of the lunch box until his knuckles turned white.
He took two steps back and stumbled into the darkness.
He felt like a joke, like a cockroach in a gutter, watching the person he cared about chatting and laughing with other men, walking shoulder to shoulder into the villa park, and he was almost going crazy with envy.
I really hope...she is his only sister.
He hid in the corner, pressed against the wall.
After their backs completely disappeared from his sight, Xu Zhanyan sat down on the stairs, holding a pile of lunch boxes, staring blankly in the wind, not knowing what to do.
In front of Chenhong No. 6.
In addition to the main villa, there are two small houses on both sides, which are just right for accommodating Jin Jingfang. After all, a single man and a single woman living in the same room have no privacy.
"You can pick either of these two buildings," Xin Jingli said. "I'll call you if I need to go out. It's safe inside the park, so you don't need to follow me."
Outsiders entering the park need the owner's approval, or the owner's staff to come out to meet them.
The purpose of multiple layers of security is to protect the safety of the park. Those who live in Chenhong are either rich or noble, and anyone can enter freely, which will pose a great safety hazard.
So when they were approaching the park, Xin Jingli asked Jin Jingfang to catch up so that she wouldn't have to stop and explain to the security guard.
Jin Jingfang turned his head.
Although it was a small house that came with it, it was also a small villa, and the decoration standards were all in accordance with the requirements of a villa. I didn't expect that being a bodyguard would have such treatment. Jin Jingfang was grateful again in his heart. If he hadn't met her, he would be so embarrassed now.
"Thank you." He said through gritted teeth.
Thanks for all this.
Xin Jingli didn't hear it. "It's okay. I can't live in so many houses anyway. You go and rest. Someone will bring food over later and send it to your place."
On the way back, she contacted the restaurant and asked them to send two chefs to cook on the spot. Since there was no one to cook, she couldn't just continue eating unnutritious takeout like before. Since she had money, she could spend it however she wanted.
After settling Jin Jingfang, Xin Jingli entered the villa.
The villa is clean, the floor is reflective, the living room has an intelligent lighting system, and the lighting is automatically turned on as soon as you enter the door, which is very user-friendly.
Although it was resold, no one had lived there before. It was brand new, with cool air from the air conditioner blowing and a light lemon scent in the air, driving away the summer heat.
Xin Jingli kicked off his shoes and collapsed on the sofa. He sent a WeChat message, asking the clerk where he bought clothes last time to send over the new styles of the season, both men's and women's styles.
Xu Zhanyan will be here later, and he doesn't have many decent clothes, so I'll buy him a few sets as well.
Thinking of this, Xin Jingli remembered that Xu Zhanyan had not contacted her yet.
Didn't we agree to come at 7 o'clock? It's already past 8 o'clock, why is there no message?
Xin Jingli picked up the phone and called him.
The phone rang for a while, but no one answered.
bite-
The system pops up a prompt: [Detected that Xu Zhanyan's favorability towards the host has changed. It is currently 80. Reduce the favorability by two points and take back two reinforcement points. Deduct them from the host's current physical value. The host's current physical value is 75.]
Xin Jingli choked on his saliva, coughed violently, and patted his chest to relax for a long time.
No...what's going on? She just made a call, and he obviously didn't answer, so why did his favorability drop?
Is it really that hard to guess what a little boy is thinking?
Xin Jingli curled her lips and sent a message to Xu Zhanyan, but a minute passed and there was no reply.
As if nothing had happened, he suddenly disappeared from the face of the earth.
Is there anything wrong? It shouldn't be. He's 18 years old and tall, so there shouldn't be any danger.
Coincidentally, on her mobile phone, the security guard sent her a message in the Chenhong mini program, saying that someone had come to see her before.
Xu Zhanyan.
Xin Jingli affirmed.
So what's going on now? Are you still at the door? Did your phone die from waiting so long that you can't reply to messages or answer calls?
She stood up, put on her shoes, and trotted towards the park entrance.
"Uncle, where is the little boy you were looking for me?"
The security guard poked his head out and pointed to the side of the security booth. "He was sitting here not long ago. Just now, his eyes were red and he walked to the side. I don't know what happened."
Are her eyes red? Is she crying? Did something happen again and she rushed home so fast that she couldn't answer her call?
"How long has he been gone?" Xin Jingli asked.
"Less than three minutes, go that way." The security guard pointed to the alley on the left.
Xin Jingli thanked him and turned to run out.
The alley is spacious, paved and flat, but no one walks on it, so it looks a bit desolate.
After chasing for five minutes, I finally saw the dejected Xu Zhanyan under the dim street lights.
He is tall, well-proportioned, looks like a student, has a simple temperament, and drags a long shadow behind him. It can be seen that he is not in a good mood.
"Xu Zhanyan?" Xin Jingli called him.
When Xu Zhanyan heard this, he raised his head, turned around, and held the lunch box in his arms, looking unusually well-behaved.
Those watery eyes lit up for a moment, then dimmed again when he thought that she had another man.
He didn't know why he thought this way, why he felt sad when she stood with another man, but he was just unhappy. He didn't like it, he was annoyed, and hated that man.
He seemed to have become evil and even wanted the man to disappear.
Xu Zhanyan sniffed, the tip of his nose red.
The evening breeze blew on his clean, thin T-shirt, and his collarbone was clearly visible on the collar, like the weak branches of a mimosa.
The boy was fair-skinned, but with red eyes he looked like an abandoned puppy, looking aggrieved.
Xin Jingli was heartbroken.
"What's wrong with you? Did something happen?" She ran over, grabbed his arm and looked him up and down, worried that he was injured.
Xu Zhanyan just looked at her without saying a word.
Under the streetlight, even though he was thin, he was tall and his shadow could still cover her.
"Did something happen at home? Are they making things difficult for you and your mother again?" Xin Jingli frowned anxiously.
"Sister." Xu Zhanyan pulled her hand away, sobbing and distanced herself from her, her voice hoarse, "I don't want to be a mistress."
