645: Let’s go home!
Zhou Ziheng completely ignored the presence of others and held Yu Xiaoye's hand and said:
"Ono, come here."
Yu Xiaoye felt a little nervous, like a child who had made a mistake and was taken home by his parents. Zhou Ziheng dragged him all the way out of the guesthouse and brought him to a bench in the courtyard downstairs.
The two sat down on the bench. Zhou Ziheng still did not let go of Yu Xiaoye's hand, but instead clasped their fingers together even tighter.
He put down the heavy briefcase in his hand. Because he was anxious along the way and the weather was hot and humid, his Zhongshan suit was a little stuffy and he was sweating all over.
As soon as he put down his briefcase, Zhou Ziheng immediately unbuttoned his Zhongshan suit and opened the front, and he finally felt a little cooler.
Then he turned and looked at Yu Xiaoye who had been silent.
Yu Xiaoye raised his eyelids, pursed his lips, and asked timidly:
"You know everything?"
"Well, I heard from my sister," Zhou Ziheng said in a calm and steady voice, "Why would you run after you hit someone?"
"I'm afraid that You Wenyue's parents will bring people to take revenge."
Zhou Ziheng felt a pang in his heart, took Yu Xiaoye's hand and placed it on his lap, saying lovingly:
"Xiao Ye, be with me. I hope to bring you happiness and don't want you to worry about anything."
Yu Xiaoye explained convincingly:
"It's not that I'm scared, it's that a true man never gives up. What if her parents come to my house with guns? Of course I'll run!"
Zhou Ziheng looked at Yu Xiaoye and said gently and patiently:
"Remember, no matter what you do or what mistakes you make in the future, I will always support you. I wouldn't dare to tell anyone about it elsewhere, but at least on Mishan Farm and in this compound, no one dares to do anything to you."
Zhou Ziheng's voice was calm, even with a hint of tenderness, but his tone was mixed with a firmness that meant what he said.
Yu Xiaoye felt a sweet feeling in his heart when he heard this.
"So, don't be afraid. As long as I'm here, You Wenyue's parents will never dare to touch you."
Yu Xiaoye smiled, and the bad mood he had been in for half a day was instantly swept away:
"Thank you, Director."
Zhou Ziheng also showed a smile on his face. He rubbed Yu Xiaoye's delicate little hand:
"Okay, go back and pack your things."
"Ah—pack up, are we still going to your house?"
"Yes, I will accompany you back this time. We will stay at home for one night and come back early tomorrow morning. I won't leave you alone at home and let you worry about it."
Yu Xiaoye was a little hesitant.
Zhou Ziheng said:
"What else are you worried about?"
"I don't have any concerns, I just worry about delaying your meeting."
Zhou Ziheng took Yu Xiaoye's hand and stood up:
"It's okay. I've asked my sister to find a car for me. We can get up early tomorrow morning and take the car directly to the meeting hall. It won't delay the meeting."
"Then, if I beat someone up in your house, will your parents think I'm a barbaric and uneducated person and disapprove of us being together?"
"Xiao Ye, remember, no one can stop us from being together. Let's go home!"
Zhou Ziheng pulled Yu Xiaoye's hand and walked away with a firm attitude.
Seeing that Zhou Ziheng had made up his mind, Yu Xiaoye didn't think any more about it.
This man always arranges everything for her, and she trusts him.
The two returned to the guesthouse room. Yu Xiaoye simply packed a set of clothes, and left the rest of the things in the guesthouse.
Zhou Ziheng only brought a change of clothes, which he rolled up and put directly into Yu Xiaoye's luggage bag. Then, holding the luggage bag and briefcase in one hand and holding Yu Xiaoye's hand with the other, the two of them started to rush home.
The guesthouse was a long distance away from the compound. Fortunately, there was a late bus. The two took the bus, changed buses twice, and finally arrived at the compound at 7:30 in the evening.
It was already dark, and all the gates of the compound were closed. A bright, glaring searchlight illuminated the entrance in a blanket of white. The two men walked into the white light, and the sentry at the gate immediately shouted, "What are you doing?"
"Who?"
Zhou Ziheng walked up to the armed sentry and glanced at him:
"New here?"
When the sentry heard Zhou Ziheng's tone, he knew he was someone important, so he didn't dare to neglect him and asked:
"Comrade, who are you looking for?"
"Please call Minister Zhou's house and tell him that Zhou Ziheng is back."
The sentry's eyes widened immediately:
"Are you Comrade Zhou Ziheng?"
Although the sentry had just arrived, anyone who had stayed in this compound for a while would have heard of Zhou Ziheng's great reputation.
However, the man in front of him claimed to be Zhou Ziheng. The sentry did not dare to believe him easily, fearing that he was an imposter. So he hurried into the duty room and made a phone call to Minister Zhou's home.
Less than a minute later, the sentry came out and respectfully opened the small door. Then he stood beside the door with his feet together, raised his right arm, and saluted in a heroic manner:
"Comrade Zhou, please come in!"
Zhou Ziheng took Yu Xiaoye's hand and went in.
Yu Xiaoye turned around and glanced at the saluting sentry with an inexperienced look, then looked at Zhou Ziheng who was calm beside him, and he truly felt that life in the compound was very different from the life of ordinary people outside.
Zhou Ziheng seemed to guess what Yu Xiaoye was thinking and said:
"You have to get used to life here."
"——Habit, I'm very used to it." Yu Xiaoye answered guiltily.
With the help of street lamps, Zhou Ziheng returned to his doorstep with familiarity.
The light was on in the house.
Zhuang Huaijian and Aunt Zhang had just received a call and learned that their son had brought Yu Xiaoye back, so they came to the door in advance to greet them.
Seeing the two people walking hand in hand in the night, Zhuang Huaijian couldn't help but smile:
"I'm back, finally back."
At this time, Yu Xiaoye thought of the incident of beating someone at Zhou's house during the day, and felt a little scared.
Listening to Zhou on the road
Ziheng said that after Yu Wenyue was beaten and ran away, she was unable to run back home to complain. Instead, Zhou Ziying dragged her away and handed her to Jia Zan. So when Yu Xiaoye was worried that Yu Wenyue's parents would come with a gun to retaliate, they actually didn't know that their daughter had been beaten.
——It’s hard to say whether you know it now.
But no matter what, with Zhou Ziheng around, Yu Xiaoye had no worries. However, she felt insecure when facing her future parents-in-law. She was worried that her ferocious behavior like a female bandit during the day had left an indelible bad impression on Zhou's parents.
Yu Xiaoye walked closer to Zhou Ziheng with some trepidation. He looked up and saw Zhuang Huaijian walking towards them with a friendly smile still on his face. Yu Xiaoye felt a little relieved.
Zhuang Huaijian only glanced at his son quickly, and then his eyes fell on Yu Xiaoye:
"Xiao Ye, you're finally back. I was really worried that you didn't know the way and got lost. I'm relieved to see you back safely."
"Aunt, I'm sorry to trouble you." Yu Xiaoye apologized sincerely.
"Don't say that. It's not your fault. We are the ones who caused you trouble. Don't take it to heart."
Seeing that her future mother-in-law still welcomed her, Yu Xiaoye finally felt relieved and couldn't help but glance at Zhou Ziheng.
Zhou Ziheng nodded slightly at her with loving eyes.
Zhuang Huaijian was particularly happy to see the young couple being so affectionate and sweet:
"Come in quickly, we haven't eaten yet. We'll eat together when you come back."
"Let's go."
Zhou Ziheng greeted Aunt Zhang again and walked into the house holding Yu Xiaoye's hand.
As soon as I entered the room, I saw Zhou Jingru, the old man of the Zhou family, sitting at the center of the dining table, looking coldly at the door, like a judge sitting in the yamen waiting to interrogate a criminal.
