Chapter 3 Get up and drink coffee

The neon lights of Blue Gum City flicker late at night.

A sea-blue McLaren whizzed past on the road, and then braked suddenly to a stop at the entrance of a supermarket. The man lowered his head to unbuckle his seat belt, and then paused -

"No, am I sick?"

When Zhou Yili gets angry, he even scolds himself.

It was just a random remark, but he actually came to the supermarket obediently?

nerve.

In the distance, the neon lights of the city are scattered under the sky, and the light streams converge into a long river. The "Half Awakened" sign flashes with brilliant light, dividing another decadent and glamorous appearance.

With a click, he buckled his seat belt again.

I stepped on the accelerator and sped towards the end of the city.

"No, where are you, brother?"

On the other end of the phone, with cheerful music playing in the background, Sheng Que loudly questioned him, "We've prepared wine and beauties for you, but you drove into the ditch?"

“…”

Zhou Yili placed one hand on the steering wheel, his wrist bones smooth and delicate, and replied casually and indifferently, "I'm not interested anymore."

Sheng certainly didn't understand the deeper meaning behind it.

He snorted: "I know, you like men now."

To be precise, I don't like men.

Once upon a time, Mr. Zhou's ideal type was a sexy beauty like Marilyn Monroe, but later on, it inexplicably changed and never returned.

"Then why don't you come here to drink?"

Sheng Que burped drunkenly, and for a while he was drunk and spoke without restraint:

"Did you see the trending searches? Your brother Shen has fallen. Shouldn't we open a bottle of champagne and celebrate?"

As soon as the words fell, there was a moment of dead silence in the atmosphere.

Sheng Que felt inexplicably cold even through the phone call.

He quickly asked the little beauty in his arms to hug him tightly.

A sneer came from the other end of the road, followed by the sound of a car stopping, "Brother doesn't want to drink tonight."

Zhou Yili picked up his phone and clicked to forward the location message Sheng Que sent on WeChat.

"Just want some coffee."

【z】: Report a fool and twelve little beauties, do you want to catch them?

[Fu Chen, CEO of Fu Group]: …

[Fu Chen, CEO of Fu Group]: The meeting is over, I’ll go over.

Sheng is a typical second-generation rich kid. Both his parents died when he was young, and his huge family is eager to pour all their love and sympathy on him.

This caused him to grow crooked.

If a sapling grows crooked, there will always be someone to prune it. The top student whom his mother sponsored when she was young became the only person who disliked him after he grew up.

I will take time out of my busy schedule to see what trouble this benefactor has gotten into.

Sheng Que was scared when he saw him.

"No, are you sick?" Sheng Que asked doubtfully, "You went to drink coffee in the middle of the night? You're not going to sleep tonight?"

Zhou Yili did all the bad things and felt good about it.

"Well, take care of yourself."

Sheng Que: “?”

…

The limited edition sea blue sports car sped along the road, and half an hour later, it finally came across a coffee shop with lights on.

Zhou Yili opened the door, got out of the car, and touched his hat.

"An Americano, no ice, no sugar, no milk."

The salesperson was drowsy at first, but suddenly woke up when he heard the Sanbujia.

...drink Chinese medicine?

When she raised her head, all the fatigue from a busy day was completely dissipated by the handsome face.

Kindly remind: "It will be very bitter if you don't add anything."

This cold-faced guy folded his arms lazily, his eyes fell on the running coffee machine, and sneered without any expression:

"Well, it's miserable for him."

“…”

"Have a nice walk, handsome guy. Come often~"

As the man's figure disappeared outside the glass door, the salesperson belatedly realized that the man looked familiar, like a popular star.

What’s it called…?

Yeah.

Shen Yili!

Shen Yili slowly returned home with a cup of coffee.

The fingerprint lock made a "beep" sound, and he stood at the entrance, raising his eyes to look towards the living room which was lit with warm yellow light.

Usually he came back in the dark of night.

Now it is a different picture.

The feather floor lamp was emitting a faint light. The man was sleeping on the sofa. His thin white shirt revealed a part of his collarbone, and the very thin silver chain was glowing slightly.

...When did this person start wearing jewelry?

Zhou Yili has had a flirtatious personality since childhood, and for a while she particularly loved wearing jewelry.

Shen Jixing was his piano tutor at that time, and he was aloof and unapproachable.

Just a brief comment: "It's all fancy talk."

Like a peacock spreading its tail.

At that time, Zhou Yili was young and outspoken.

She deliberately opened her legs and bumped him with her knees, biting her necklace and looking up and sneering softly, "Leave it alone, I'm not rushing towards you, am I, Mr. Shen?"

Zhou Yili walked to the sofa carrying a cup of coffee.

The thin silver chain fell on the collarbone, immersed in a bend of light, making the fair skin seem to be glowing.

His Adam's apple rolled for no apparent reason, and then he kicked the sofa with his leg.

"Get up and have some coffee."

“…”

Shen Jixing always slept lightly. He opened his eyes and looked at the tall figure standing against the light.

Zhou Yili shook the coffee in his hand and smiled without any sympathy or even asking for a beating.

"Are you moved?"

What's the difference between this scene and Pan Jinlian asking him to get up and take medicine?

Shen Jixing raised his hand and rubbed his brows. His good self-control made him say nothing. He raised his hand to pick up the cup of coffee that fell in the air and said in a calm tone, "Thank you."

No pull.

Shen Jixing raised his eyes: "?"

Two seconds later, Zhou Yili withdrew his hand with a cold expression.

Like a North American lion who made a fuss but received no response, he slid his hands into his trouser pockets without interest and walked upstairs without looking back.

"Wait a moment."

Shen Jixing took a sip of coffee, raised his eyes and asked him, "Which room should I sleep in tonight?"

Zhou Yili stopped.

After thinking for a moment, Lazy tilted his head to indicate the second floor, "Left."

"good."

Shen Jixing retracted his gaze, glanced at the coffee, and said nothing more.

The person at the staircase moved his feet slightly, and seemed to have thought of something, and said in a lazy tone, "No one has ever lived in that room. Auntie cleans it once a week. If you think it's dirty and don't want to live there..."

Shen Jixing hasn't spoken yet.

He was leaning on the handrail, with a semi-arc-shaped luxurious staircase behind him, his arms folded as if he was taking a magazine cover photo.

Friendly suggestion: "It would be nice to just go and squeeze with the stray dog ​​downstairs."

“…”

Shen Jixing's calm gaze finally changed slightly.

He has a very typical cold face. Rumor has it that people in the industry are quite afraid of him. Zhou Yili is obviously fearless.

He smiled elegantly and dissolutely, and walked slowly up the stairs.

The black diamond on the ear bone refracted the light, as bright as that smile.

"childish."

Shen Jixing concluded calmly.

Zhou Yili has always been like this, and Zhang Yang is a bit of a show-off.

You can't ignore him or ignore him, otherwise he will keep provoking you.

Until all I see is him, only him.

Shen Jixing raised his head and drank the whole cup of coffee, then got up and went upstairs.

There are only two rooms on the second floor.

Even the second bedroom was decorated very well, clean and tidy like a decent cabin.

Zhou Yili is a rich young man with no shortage of money. To put it a little exaggeratedly, he is the kind of young man who wants to go home and inherit a family fortune worth billions if he doesn't mix well in his circle.

Shen Jixing remembered that he had not yet transferred the money for coffee to the young master.

He turned on his cell phone and saw eight missed calls from Pei Ming. He didn't continue the call, obviously giving up.

Shen Jixing opened the WeChat list and clicked on the small letter 'z' next to it. The person at the end of his list was Zhou Yili.

The chat records between the two people are still four years ago.

The same four words appeared on the same page, only three days apart.
