Chapter 461: Ex-girlfriend (8)
After Zuo Shichu returned to work at the company, she planned to buy a car. After all, her current residence was a bit far from the company, and it was quite troublesome to take the subway to and from get off work every day, so it would be more convenient to buy a car herself.
After Zuo's mother knew that she was going to buy a car, she sponsored her tens of thousands of yuan. It was the first time that Zuo Shichu experienced the feeling of "living off parents", which was very novel. Then she happily accepted the money. After all, it was Zuo's mother who gave it to her voluntarily and she didn't ask for it, so of course she wouldn't refuse.
"Shichu, I think the color of this car is nice, the silver color is elegant." Sister Hong said to Zuo Shichu. She didn't know much about cars and only considered the color and style when choosing a car.
Zuo Shichu went up to test drive the car, and Sister Hong followed her up and asked her, "Are you planning to pay in full or take out a loan?"
"Pay in full. I'm not buying a luxury car. My mother has given me tens of thousands of dollars, and I have some savings, enough to buy a car worth hundreds of thousands of dollars." Zuo Shichu replied. She was a child from an ordinary middle-class family in her life, and driving a car worth hundreds of thousands of dollars was already very good.
Sister Hong nodded: "Yes, there are many choices of cars worth hundreds of thousands of yuan. The one I own is also worth hundreds of thousands of yuan."
Sister Hong was watching Zuo Shichu test drive when her cell phone rang. She picked it up and said, "Hello, husband?"
"Why haven't you gone home yet? Aren't you off work?" A man's angry and loud questioning voice came from the phone. Zuo Shichu heard it without even turning on the speakerphone.
Sister Hong was a little embarrassed. She glanced at Zuo Shichu and saw that she didn't seem to hear it. Then she lowered her voice and said, "It's time to get off work, but I'm helping my colleague look after the car and will be back soon."
"Helping a colleague look at a car? A man or a woman?" Sister Hong's husband asked again.
"Of course it's a woman!" Sister Hong answered awkwardly, with a look of embarrassment on her face, "What are you thinking about now?"
"If you go home as soon as you get off work, would I suspect you? Isn't it your own fault? Turn on the video and let me see if it is a female colleague." Sister Hong's husband obviously did not believe what his wife said.
Sister Hong was so angry that her chest kept heaving up and down, but because she didn't want to quarrel with her husband, she held her anger and actually turned on the video and took a picture of Zuo Shichu's test drive.
"I already said she was a female colleague, I didn't lie to you!" Sister Hong said angrily.
When Sister Hong’s husband saw Zuo Shichu, he stopped his attack and told Sister Hong to go home early before hanging up the video.
"My husband is always suspicious. Shichu, you must not look for a suspicious boyfriend in the future, otherwise your life will be tiring." Sister Hong said with a tired face.
Zuo Shichu didn't know how to answer her, so he said, "Okay, I won't find someone who is suspicious. After all, I'm so beautiful. If he wants to doubt me, I won't have a peaceful life."
Sister Hong was choked by her words and looked at her speechlessly, but she couldn't refute it. Zuo Shichu is indeed good-looking. If she has a boyfriend, wouldn't her boyfriend worry that his girlfriend might be stolen away at any time?
When Zuo Shichu heard Sister Hong’s husband asking her to go home early, she didn’t look at cars for too long. She chose one with a high cost-effectiveness and a suitable price, and then paid for it.
After seeing off Sister Hong, Zuo Shichu returned to his residence, and Zhongli Ximo called him.
"Do you miss me?" Zuo Shichu asked casually.
"...I thought about it." Zhongli Ximo replied.
"Then come over." Zuo Shichu said and told him his address.
Zhongli Ximo found Zuo Shichu's residence and frowned as he looked at her house which was not even as big as his own kitchen. He had never lived in such a narrow place before. Although Zuo Shichu's house was small, it was comfortably and simply decorated, which made up for the shortcoming of not being spacious enough.
Zuo Shichu did not order takeout today, but simply fried two steaks.
"Would you like to drink?" Zuo Shichu asked.
"want."
Zuo Shichu took out a bottle of red wine and got two wine glasses from the kitchen.
If they lit candles, it would be a standard date for a couple, but they were not a couple, so Zuo Shichu casually poured the wine, cut the steak, and started eating. His movements were natural and unrestrained, as if Zhongli Ximo was not there.
It was the first time that Zhongli Ximo had dinner with Zuo Shichu, and they had Western food. It was too much like a date, which made him feel a little uncomfortable. But when he saw Zuo Shichu eating steak as if he was the only one around, he suddenly felt that he was being too sentimental, and he cut the juicy steak into small pieces.
"You eat quite delicately." Zuo Shichu noticed his movements and said in surprise.
Zhongli Ximo looked at the steak that he had "chopped into pieces" and fell silent. He wanted to explain but didn't know where to start.
However, Zuo Shichu didn't care about this. She ate the steak very quickly. After she finished it, she took a sip of wine and savored it slowly.
Zhongli Ximo took a bite of the steak and was surprised to find that it was fried very well, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with full gravy and the taste of rosemary. He came here without having dinner and was originally hungry, but now that he had a steak that suited his taste, he didn't care about anything else and started eating quickly.
When Zuo Shichu saw that his eyes were slightly shining after he ate a piece of meat, he couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth and thought that this man was a little cute.
The cute man was going to be eaten, so the two began to toss and turn in the bathroom, and then returned to the bedroom and tossed and turned for a long time, until they stopped in the middle of the night and fell asleep in each other's arms.
However, Zuo Shichu didn't sleep for long as her cell phone started ringing frantically. She closed her eyes and reached for the bedside table, trying to find her phone and turn it off, but she couldn't find it after searching for a long time.
Zhongli Ximo was also woken up. He opened his eyes and found that Zuo Shichu's cell phone was not on the bedside table, but in the drawer. He stood up helplessly and helped Zuo Shichu take out the cell phone.
"It's a call from someone marked as 'Sister Hong'. Do you want to answer it?" Zhongli Ximo's hoarse and particularly magnetic voice sounded in Zuo Shichu's ears.
Zuo Shichu was about to say "no", but she quickly realized that it was Sister Hong who was calling. Sister Hong had always taken good care of her, and she must have something urgent to tell her since she called her in the middle of the night. So she immediately opened her eyes and said, "Yes."
Zhongli Ximo handed her the phone.
"Sister Hong, is there something wrong?" Zuo Shichu asked.
"Shichu, can you come to my neighborhood to pick me up?" Sister Hong's voice was a little unusual, hoarse, and nasal, as if she had been crying. Zuo Shichu immediately woke up and said without hesitation: "Okay, I'll pick you up."
"You want to go out now?" Zhongli Ximo asked in surprise.
"Yes, a colleague seems to have encountered some trouble. I need to go and take a look." Zuo Shichu said to him as he got up and put on his clothes.
"Then I'll go too. It's not safe for a girl like you to go out in the middle of the night." Zhongli Ximo said as he stood up and got dressed.
