759: A whole crime scene?
After finishing the net, she looked at the time and it was already noon. She didn't dare to stay in the space, so she quickly took off her diving suit, took a thorough shower, and then returned to the bedroom.
I had just reached the bedroom and hadn't even put my feet firmly on the ground when I heard the sound of stairs outside.
Yu Xiaoye hurriedly unlocked the door, then rushed back to the table, grabbed a book and pretended to be reading.
Before he had finished reading the book, Zhou Ziheng pushed the door open and came in. Seeing Yu Xiaoye sitting at the table reading, he smiled and said,
"Xiao Ye is so well behaved today?"
Yu Xiaoye barely caught his breath, afraid that Zhou Ziheng would hear something, so he pretended to be deep and waited for a while before speaking:
"Yeah, just pick a book to read." - It's all about the heartbeat!
Zhou Ziheng walked over, bent down and kissed Yu Xiaoye on the head.
Yu Xiaoye suddenly remembered that she hadn't washed her hair and wondered if it had any fishy smell. She nervously turned around and deliberately kept a distance, then asked with a smile:
"Did you have a good day today?"
"good."
Zhou Ziheng stared at Yu Xiaoye's face. The cunning look in his eyes made Yu Xiaoye feel uneasy. He immediately changed the subject:
"I'm hungry. Is the meal ready, Aunt Zhang?"
"It will be ready soon. I'll go down and take a look. I'll call you when it's ready."
"Um."
Zhou Ziheng smiled, and suddenly, unexpectedly, held Yu Xiaoye's hand, put it close to his mouth, and kissed the back of Yu Xiaoye's hand.
The action was too fast and Yu Xiaoye had no time to react. By the time she reacted, Zhou Ziheng had already finished the kiss.
Moreover, Yu Xiaoye clearly felt Zhou Ziheng pinch her wrist hard, but it didn't last long, about three seconds:
Why is he pinching my wrist? Is he checking my pulse?
Her heartbeat was indeed a little fast just now.
——You bastard, is this even possible?
Zhou Ziheng let go of Yu Xiaoye's hand, smiled at her again, then turned and went downstairs.
I went downstairs and into the kitchen. Aunt Zhang was still busy with the spatula in her hand.
Zhou Ziheng came over to take a look and asked calmly:
"Aunt Zhang, are you having fish for lunch today?"
"Why, do you want to eat fish?" Aunt Zhang asked amiably. "There's no fish for lunch today. Next time I'll go to the service department to see if there's any fish for sale. If there is, I'll buy you some."
"Oh, okay—"
Upstairs, after Yu Xiaoye and Zhou Ziheng came down, he finally breathed a sigh of relief and ran to the mirror to look in it. When he looked in the mirror, he was shocked to find that his hair was a little wet.
Either he was wet from the steam while taking a shower, or he was accidentally splashed with sea water while dragging the fishing net into the sea.
Ah, did Zhou Ziheng just kiss her on the head?
Then he looked at the back of his hand that had been kissed, picked it up and put it under his nose to smell it:
Damn it! I wore gloves and showered, but my hands still smelled faintly of fish?!
He kissed her damp hair, smelled her fishy hands, and felt her racing heartbeat—this whole crime scene?
The key to the problem is that Zhou Ziheng became suspicious but did not ask, which is very problematic.
It’s really difficult to do something tricky under Zhou Ziheng’s nose!
Not long after, Zhou Jingru and Zhuang Huaijian came home from get off work, and Zhou Ziheng called her down for dinner. After Yu Xiaoye came down, Zhou Ziheng acted as if nothing had happened.
Since he didn't say anything, Yu Xiaoye continued to play dumb and waited to see when Zhou Ziheng would ask her.
After dinner, Zhou Ziheng still said nothing. The two returned to the bedroom upstairs and rested quietly in the room. Zhou Ziheng read a book and Yu Xiaoye knitted, like an old couple.
After a long time, Zhou Ziheng asked:
"Aren't you going out this afternoon?"
"I'm not going out," Yu Xiaoye said without raising his head. "What about you? You're not going out?"
"I won't go out either. I'll stay at home with you."
After a pause, he continued:
"You can go out if you need anything."
"Me? I'm fine. It's so cold outside, I don't want to go out."
"Oh well."
About an hour passed.
Suddenly, Jia Song's voice came from downstairs:
"Yu Xiaoye, Yu Xiaoye!"
"Brother Jia is here!"
When Yu Xiaoye heard Jia Song's voice, he dropped his sweater and jumped up and ran out.
Zhou Ziheng: “——” sighed silently.
Yu Xiaoye came to the stairs and saw Jia Song standing on the first floor shouting at her:
"Zhou Ziheng isn't home, is he? It's so boring being home alone. Do you want to go ice skating? There's a big ice rink near Shichahai, and I've just arranged to go skating with a few acquaintances. Come on, you should go too!"
Yu Xiaoye was very happy when he heard that they were going ice skating:
"Wait a minute, I'll go talk to Brother Heng."
Before Yu Xiaoye finished speaking, Zhou Ziheng walked out of the house.
When Jia Song saw Zhou Ziheng was there, his enthusiasm immediately cooled down:
"Hey, you're home?"
"Why, what's wrong with me in my own home?"
"No problem, forget it, just pretend I wasn't here—" Jia Song turned and was about to leave.
Yu Xiaoye called him:
"Brother Jia, wait a minute, I'll go ice skating with you!"
Yu Xiaoye turned to Zhou Ziheng and said:
"Brother Heng, Brother Jia and I should go ice skating, okay?"
Zhou Ziheng narrowed his eyes slightly:
"You guys are going ice skating without me?"
"Ah?" Yu Xiaoye was surprised. "You want to go too?"
It’s not that Yu Xiaoye doubted whether Zhou Ziheng could skate, but Zhou Ziheng’s current temperament didn’t seem like someone who would go to the ice rink to skate.
But Zhou Ziheng had already grabbed her hand and started to go downstairs:
"Of course I want to go. I have ice skates too. Since the weather is nice today, I'll go skating with you."
When Jia Song downstairs heard that Zhou Ziheng was also going, he couldn't help but roll his eyes:
If I had known this, I wouldn’t have come here!
Can
There was no other way. Zhou Ziheng had already gone to the utility room on the first floor to look for the ice skates that had been put aside for many years. He also found a small pair for Yu Xiaoye. These were the ones that his sister Zhou Ziying had worn before and were still wearable.
Wearing ice skates and riding bicycles, the three of them went to the ice rink.
When I got to the ice rink, I saw that half of the people skating together were people I knew.
Today's party was organized by Jia Song, so some of the people present were from the compound, and some were educated youth who had returned to the city to visit their relatives from the farm.
Among them were educated youth from the Eighth Company, both male and female. Most of them knew Zhou Ziheng and Yu Xiaoye. Even if they didn’t know them, they had heard of their names a long time ago.
These people were surprised to see Zhou Ziheng coming as well.
They had the same idea as Yu Xiaoye: Does Zhou Ziheng look like someone who would have the leisure time to hang out at the ice rink?
Not like, not at all!
It felt like a school principal going to an Internet cafe to play games, totally out of tune with the surrounding atmosphere.
Jia Song expected everyone to react in this way, and felt very disappointed. He urged impatiently:
"Okay, what are you looking at? Haven't you seen this before? Hurry up and change your skates! It's going to be dark soon!"
Everyone then sat down at the edge of the ice rink to change their shoes.
Zhou Ziheng also put on his ice skates that had been unused for many years, and then helped Yu Xiaoye put them on.
Everyone put their cotton shoes in the cabinet and started skating on the court.
Yu Xiaoye used to be able to roller skate, and he was pretty good at it, but this was his first time wearing these ice skates, so he was very cautious after standing up and didn't dare to walk.
Zhou Ziheng took her hand and asked her to hug his waist:
"Come, hold my waist and I'll take you sliding."
