A light snow was falling from the sky. A woman in an expensive coat squatted in front of the fence, her face being licked by a dog.
When Ouyang Zhoujing opened the door, he was greeted by this shocking scene.
He was stunned for several seconds before he reacted, "Seven Up, what are you doing!"
The husky howled and ran away.
Once it was gone, Ouyang Zhoujing could finally see the woman's face clearly. Her hair was disheveled, and her eyes were large and watery.
She looked at him with a wronged expression, making one want to tease her.
It took him a while to find his voice, which was deep and magnetic, quite different from his usual gentle voice. "Song Nuan? What are you doing here?"
Before she could finish speaking, Song Nuan collapsed to the ground, completely distraught.
Ouyang Zhoujing's breath hitched. He quickened his pace, pushed open the door, and pulled her up. As he pulled her along, Song Nuan's foot slipped on something and she lurched.
He swiftly grabbed Song Nuan's waist, and due to the momentum, Song Nuan fell towards him, making it appear from a distance that the two were almost embracing.
The sudden close contact made Ouyang Zhoujing's ears turn red.
He hadn't hugged Song Nuan in a long time.
The last time was when he carried Song Nuan down the mountain in Yunxian. She was petite but curvaceous. Today, she was wearing a coat, and her graceful figure was especially noticeable.
What are you doing?
A sinister voice suddenly rang out from behind.
Ouyang Zhoujing loosened his grip on Song Nuan slightly, then turned around and met Li Jingchen's gloomy and cold eyes.
Song Nuan finally came to her senses and subconsciously took a step back. Before she could even stand firmly, Li Jingchen grabbed her wrist and pulled her back hard.
"It hurts..." she frowned.
Ouyang Zhoujing couldn't help but glance at her.
Although it was only a glance, it still made Li Jingchen very unhappy, extremely unhappy.
"Zhou Jing, I warned you not to make a move on her." His tone was fierce and cold. "What, have you forgotten how you helped Cheng Yi bully her back then?"
Song Nuan had almost forgotten about these things, but after he mentioned them, she suddenly remembered them all.
After a series of events, her opinion of Ouyang Zhoujing had changed somewhat. Although she still didn't like him very much, she at least thought he wasn't a bad person.
Song Nuan said with dissatisfaction, "Why are you saying all this?"
Li Jingchen was furious. "Song Nuan, are you taking his side?"
"Where did I speak up for him?" Song Nuan was also in a bad mood. The old grudges hadn't been settled yet, and now there was a new one. "You're so talkative now. Why didn't you say a word at the restaurant?"
Ouyang Zhoujing watched the two of them from the side.
When Li Jingchen caught a glimpse of him out of the corner of his eye, he immediately felt disappointed. He didn't want to argue with Song Nuan in front of him, lest Song Nuan only remember the good things about Ouyang Zhoujing in the future.
He grabbed Song Nuan and tried to leave.
Song Nuan didn't know where the strength came from, but she tightly hugged the stone pillar with her other empty hand and refused to leave.
To let go or not to let go?
"Let go first, I'll walk back by myself."
"You have no right to bargain with me now." Li Jingchen directly reached out and pried her fingers apart one by one. Song Nuan's strength was nothing in front of him, and she was easily pried apart and pulled away.
They dragged and pulled them back to the villa.
The husky excitedly circled around Ouyang Zhoujing, wagging its tail incessantly.
He gave a slight smile, said nothing, cleaned up the food scraps by the door, patted Qi Xi's head, and said, "Let's go home."
In the distance, the man in the bright yellow sports car took off his sunglasses, staring in disbelief.
The woman in the passenger seat spoke in a charming voice, "Young Master An, it's so cold outside, why did you drive the car into the garage?"
An Sze-tse had completely lost his flirting mood.
He sent the woman out of the car, parked the car, and headed straight for Ouyang Zhoujing's villa.
He had the password to Ouyang Zhoujing's house, so he entered without any hindrance and saw him feeding Qixi the dog.
Hearing the voice, Ouyang Zhoujing didn't even raise his head, his voice carrying a faint, almost imperceptible chuckle, "That's really strange, you brought a woman to your doorstep and you still let her go back."
"Isn't there something more important?"
He slung his sunglasses into his breast pocket, sat down casually, and propped his long legs up on the table. "Did I see that right? What's going on between you and Song Nuan?"
"nothing."
"Why would Lao Li get so angry?"
Amidst his busy schedule, Ouyang Zhoujing glanced at him and asked, "You can see him getting angry even from that far away?"
An Szeze instantly felt looked down upon. "We're brothers who grew up wearing the same pair of pants. Don't even mention judging emotions, I can tell what you're going to say just by looking at your butts."
He patted Seven Delight's head, turned around and went to the kitchen to wash his hands, saying as he went, "Then guess what's going on between me and Song Nuan."
"If I knew, would I need to ask you?"
"Don't you know me very well?"
An Sze remained silent. He had a vague suspicion in his mind, but he felt it was impossible. After a long while, he hesitantly asked, "Do you really like Song Nuan?"
Ouyang Zhoujing remained silent, his smile enigmatic.
An Szeze felt as if he had been struck by lightning. He pulled his leg back and stood up abruptly. "Zhou Jing, are you serious?"
"Is there any law that says I can't like her?"
"No way, according to you, you're saying you're in the right to steal your brother's woman?"
An Sze was furious and wanted to help Li Jingchen vent his anger immediately. "Why did you have to fall for Song Nuan? It's not illegal, but don't you know how immoral you are?"
Compared to him, Ouyang Zhoujing was much calmer.
Gently brushing his hand away, Ouyang Zhoujing said, "You've been cheating on me with multiple women, and you've been having affairs during your relationships. These are really immoral things. Why haven't you stopped doing them?"
An Sze's face turned pale and then red after being rebuked by him.
"You're insane!"
After saying that, he turned and walked away, but after a few steps he turned back. "Don't you know how much Lao Li likes Song Nuan? You've never really liked any woman since you were a child. If you're just looking for something new, there's absolutely no need for that."
"How much have Lao Li and Song Nuan gone through to get to where they are today? Qin Yuchuan alone has been enough to torment Lao Li. He waited bitterly for three years. When have you ever seen him care so much about a woman?"
Why would you ruin a decades-long brotherhood for a fleeting moment of novelty?
"What does all this have to do with my feelings for Song Nuan? And who told you that my feelings for her are just a passing fancy?"
Ouyang Zhoujing smiled faintly, with a hint of sarcasm, and said, "Besides, can his marriage alliance with the Zhong family really solve anything?"
"Is there anything he can't handle?"
Ouyang Zhoujing was too lazy to say anything more to him, and waved his hand, "You can leave now, but remember to close the door behind you."
An Sze didn't know what to say to him. Many harsh words were on the tip of his tongue, but he swallowed them back out of consideration for their friendship.
This is a mess.
After leaving, An Szeze smoked a cigarette in frustration, but the cigarette stung his throat. After exhaling a couple of puffs of smoke, he threw the cigarette away.
