Chapter 242 Husband, You Are So Good
Zhou Xinying and Zhou Lei found a nearby noodle restaurant to have dinner, originally as a way to thank him for repairing the tape recorder. Zhou Lei understood Zhou Xinying's girlish thoughts.
No matter how poor he is, he is still a normal boy.
Zhou Lei looked at the exquisite and beautiful coat Zhou Xinying was wearing. The scarf was obviously of very high quality and expensive and was bought from a department store. She was also wearing a pair of small leather boots on her feet. A girl like this should have a good family background.
Look at himself, he has been an orphan since childhood. When he grew up, because he liked to repair electrical appliances and was very passionate about them, he was treated as a monster. Everyone said, which normal person would not find a stable class to attend?
His uncle pointed at his nose and scolded him, asking him to follow an acquaintance to work on the construction site, but Zhou Lei refused.
No matter how humble a person is, he has ideals, and he is unwilling to bury them for the time being.
The noodles in the noodle shop tasted average. Zhou Xinying was a little worried whether it was not a good idea for her to do so. In name, she was thanking Zhou Lei for helping her fix the tape recorder, but it somewhat seemed like a girl taking the initiative.
When she saw Zhou Lei's behavior while eating, she became more certain that Zhou Lei had no other shortcomings except being poor.
For example, he would use his sleeves to help Zhou Xinying wipe the stool, and then let Zhou Xinying sit down. Seeing Zhou Xinying's surprise, he smiled and said, "The clothes are quite expensive, right? The stools in this store are a bit greasy, and I'm afraid they will dirty your clothes."
While eating, he used boiling water to scald Zhou Xinying's chopsticks and bowl without saying a word. He didn't talk nonsense the whole time and didn't eat in a rude manner. He just ate the way it was supposed to be.
The more Zhou Xinying looked at him, the more she felt that Zhou Lei was different from the others.
She couldn't believe that she would have such feelings for a man she met for the first time, but her heartbeat couldn't lie.
When she was about to take out her wallet to pay after finishing the meal, Zhou Lei stretched out his arm to stop her: "Don't do that. After all, I'm a grown man and I don't like to eat girls' food. Next time you have friends who need electrical appliances repaired, come to me. I spent so much time repairing the tape recorder today, and I feel guilty. I'm going to treat you to a meal as an apology. Please bear with me."
His tone was relaxed when he spoke, so that the listeners did not feel any discomfort but felt comfortable in their hearts.
Zhou Xinying couldn't help but look at Zhou Lei. At this moment, she realized that people are divided into rich and poor. Some people are honest no matter how poor they are, while some people cannot change their despicable nature even if they are rich.
And Zhou Lei is the former one.
The two of them walked to the door of the noodle shop, and Zhou Xinying mustered up her courage and said, "Can you... take me home? You also said that it took a lot of time to repair the recording line, and now it's almost dark, it's not safe for me to go home by myself."
Zhou Lei put his hands in his pockets, was silent for a moment, and smiled: "I don't have a car."
Zhou Xinying was stunned. She didn't expect Zhou Lei to be so poor.
Zhou Lei actually said this to reject her. He was indeed very poor and didn't want to drag down any girl. Seeing that Zhou Xinying didn't show any disdain but just stood there timidly and aggrieved, he didn't know why another idea popped up in his mind: "I can borrow a car from the owner of the shop next door to take you home and back again."
Finally, Zhou Lei borrowed a bicycle and Zhou Xinying sat in the back seat. The two of them drove in silence to the university in the provincial capital.
Sure enough, the man surnamed Chen was still waiting. When he saw Zhou Xinying coming back with a man, Chen Biao was stunned and couldn't help but come up with a dark face: "Xinying, I've been waiting for you here for a whole day. Where have you been? Who is this man?"
Zhou Lei looked at Zhou Xinying, who took a step back and grabbed Zhou Lei's collar: "Chen Biao, I've told you very clearly that I don't have any feelings for you. I don't agree to the blind date arranged by my family. Please don't come to see me again in the future, okay?"
