chapter 42

The girl is a sophomore majoring in journalism, and is the manager of the school basketball team. She has a pure appearance, has been dancing since elementary school, has a good temperament, and the most important thing is that she has a good family background.

"...I really hope you can come to participate in club activities. I have seen your results during military training. You run very fast and have good jumping ability. With your height, it would be a pity not to play basketball...In fact, your academic performance has already improved."

Very good, you can participate in school activities appropriately. The people on the basketball team are very good. You can definitely become friends with them. This way, some rumors will not spread so much..."

Zhou Yao paused and looked carefully at the expression of the junior in front of her, fearing that she would say the wrong thing and cause the other party to turn around and leave.

But fortunately, the other party was sitting on the bench in front of the tree. Although he lowered his head and did not look at her, he had no intention of getting up and leaving.

From her point of view, the young man in front of her had handsome features and a clean temperament. In addition, he had good grades and was liked by professors. Since he entered the school, he has encountered several confessions from the top students. It is no wonder that some people in the school are extremely jealous.

It's really ridiculous. After getting off the Audi car, you must be taken care of by a rich woman? Can't your family be rich?

She still drives a BMW to school every day, so why don't you say that she is also being taken advantage of?

"You really should make some friends. At least when others are jealous of you and make irresponsible remarks, there will be someone who can speak for you. I don't believe it anyway. I believe you are definitely not that kind of person... By the way, my name is

Zhou Yao is the senior sister who is one year older than you. I have been paying attention to you since you entered the school. I have a good impression of you and want to make friends with you."

Zhou Yao has always been confident. Since she has a crush on her, she openly confesses her feelings without feeling any embarrassment.

"Also, I will celebrate my birthday next month and want to go camping on the weekend. My dad has a farm in the suburbs. He usually plays by himself. The place is quite big and many classmates will go there. You can come too.

Okay?"

Huo Xichen finally raised his head. His face was still expressionless, looking cold and indifferent, but good-looking people are still good-looking even if their faces are expressionless.

Senior Zhou Yao's heart, which had always been steady, beat hard, and then began to accelerate uncontrollably.

Huo Xichen reached out and took off the headphones from both ears, narrowed his eyes and looked at her with an unhappy look on his face: "Can you move a little further? You've been standing here for a long time, blocking out the sunlight."

The weather at the end of October was already starting to get colder. He thought it was quiet and there were few people here, and it was the only place he had to go to his dormitory, so he listened to the recorded lectures here for a while.

Zhou Yao's accelerated heart instantly froze: "You, you didn't hear what I just said at all?"

"I heard it." He did hear a few words while listening to the recording, "Sorry, I don't have time to make friends. Also, you shouldn't blindly believe me. In fact, I was indeed raped by a rich woman——"

The next words were muffled by the beautiful and slender hand that suddenly stretched out.

The hand was white and soft, with fingernails dyed a light orange color. On the wrist was a diamond-encrusted bracelet from C, which made the skin look like jade and the wrist bones were slender.

The owner of the hand stood behind the bench, covering Huo Xichen's mouth with one hand and stroking his hair with the other to lower his face. Then he smiled at the girl in front of him and said, "Sorry, he likes to talk nonsense. Don't listen to his nonsense."

."

Zhou Yao was stunned for a moment. The other person was very beautiful, obviously not a student. He was wearing a retro casual suit jacket in the same color as the nail polish, and a long chiffon dress underneath.

The half-casual, half-ol style matches her temperament very well. She looks elegant, gentle and elegant.

Her eyes were especially beautiful, with a light brown color. It seemed that because he noticed that she was looking at her, he smiled softly at her, and Zhou Yao's heart began to beat fast for no reason.

"Who are you……"

Huo Xichen pulled down the hand covering his mouth and replied: "She is the rich woman who was rumored to be supporting me. She is indeed a real person. You don't need to believe me -"

Halfway through his words, Jiang Weicheng rudely blocked him again.

"You keep saying nonsense that you will continue to live in the school today and don't go back!" She was simply baffled. How could anyone ruin her reputation like this?

After warning her in a sharp voice, she smiled gently at Zhou Yao, "I'm sorry, he's not sensible, I will educate him. I'm not his rich wife, I'm his girlfriend."

"You are cruel to me..." Huo Xichen complained in a low voice, but was completely ignored by Jiang Weicheng.

"Wow..." Zhou Yao was struck by her beautiful smile again, "Sister, you are so beautiful."

Jiang Weicheng was stunned for a moment and returned the greeting: "Thank you, you are also very beautiful."

Zhou Yao was a little embarrassed to be praised by her beautiful sister. Not long ago, she had taken a fancy to her boyfriend and confessed her feelings to him, but now he actually praised her.

Because she was embarrassed, after Zhou Yao introduced herself to the other party, she once again talked about her birthday. This time, she directly invited the two of them to go together, saying that when other classmates saw them, the rumor would naturally be disproven.

"Thank you, we'll see if we have time then."

"You're welcome. I'll leave first, Sister Jiang. Goodbye!"

After Zhou Yao left, Jiang Weicheng sat down on the other side of the bench and asked about the ins and outs of the rumor incident. He didn't look good, but he still spoke reluctantly.

After listening, she frowned and looked at him: "Others say they believe you, why are you still talking nonsense to them?"

This time he didn't answer her, and even turned his head away from her, as if refusing to talk.

Jiang Weicheng was still angry after hearing his nonsense, and she didn't want to coax him when he was like this, so the two of them got up, walked to the parking lot in silence, got in the car, and drove back to the apartment in silence.

****

The car was driven by Huo Xichen, who had obtained his driver's license before. Boys always learn to drive very quickly. Before officially starting the road, he drove Jiang Weicheng several times in relatively open areas.

This was the first cold war between the two of them. At first, Jiang Weicheng was really a little angry, so she didn't want to talk to him. But later, when she found that Huo Xichen seemed to be even more angry than herself, she felt angry quickly.

It's gone.

Although it was a bit bad to say this, she did feel a sense of novelty.

Since the two of them officially started dating, he has almost turned into a submissive little puppy. Especially during the time of Su Tao's accident, he was considerate and sensible. Even if she had very little time to spend with him, he would never get emotional.

Later, when he moved into her apartment, he became even better behaved. As long as he was there, he basically did all the housework. Sometimes she would get off work late, but she would have hot meals to eat as soon as she came home. At that time, Huo Xichen simply interpreted the twenty-four filial piety boyfriend.

To the extreme.

So much so that she almost forgot that this little puppy was actually a wolf.

She felt that it was okay for him to be angry, but sometimes too much peace between two people was not a good thing, especially in a love situation like theirs. He could be angry and have a cold war, and only then could the problem surface and be finally resolved.

So, while Huo Xichen was still feeling angry, Jiang Weicheng's thoughts had reached the foreseeable end step by step.

After she returned to the apartment, she took off her makeup, changed into soft long-sleeved home clothes, made herself a cup of coffee, and sat down at the design table in the southwest corner of the living room to start working.

In the evening, she was always the most inspired. The apartment was empty and quiet, and the south-facing floor-to-ceiling windows showed the city immersed in the afterglow of the setting sun.

She focused on design and slowly got better.

By the time she put down the last stroke and stopped with a happy heart, the sky outside the floor-to-ceiling window was completely dark.

She sat there and stretched her neck and arms, but she vaguely felt a resentful gaze staring at her. She glanced at the source of the gaze with her peripheral vision, and sure enough she saw the person leaning on the sofa.

He was wearing headphones, holding a book in his hand, his long eyelashes were lowered, his handsome profile was serious, and he looked like he was focused on studying.

Jiang Weicheng held back her laughter and checked her phone. It was already seven o'clock in the evening. She cleared the table a little, stood up and asked, "Aren't you going to eat?"

Huo Xichen sat there motionless and did not raise his head to look at her, but she had the illusion that the other person's ears moved slightly.

She stood there waiting for a moment, and he finally spoke, but his voice was very cold, with only two words: "Not hungry."

"Well, okay, I'll go downstairs and have some noodles myself." Opposite the apartment is a row of restaurants, including simple restaurants, noodle shops, supermarkets and late-night snacks. It's very convenient. This is why she rented an apartment here and signed the lease.

The reason for two years.

She didn't change her clothes, so she randomly picked up a thin long sweater and cardigan, took her cell phone and left the apartment directly.

After the apartment door closed, the person on the sofa who was "focused on studying" slowly raised his head, frowning and looking in the direction of the door sadly.

Did she actually go down alone?

Originally, today was the weekend, and he thought he could have a nice date with her to have a big meal, so he didn't eat much at lunch, and he would be hungry already.

She didn't say a word to him when she came back and just worked alone for more than two hours. Now that he said he wasn't hungry, did she really think he wasn't hungry?

He was a growing boy, and she didn't know how much he usually ate. It was already seven o'clock, how could he not be hungry!

He was so sad and irritable that he couldn't read the book. He took off his earphones and put down the book. He was so anxious and had nowhere to go, so he just started to do pull-ups by pressing the door frame above him.

I did a dozen of them at once, but when I landed, I felt even hungrier.

In fact, there is food in the apartment. Although it is not a formal meal, it is not a problem to fill up the stomach. But he refuses to eat and is going to be so hungry. It will make her feel bad when he arrives!

After Huo Xichen struggled alone for more than half an hour, the sound of the electronic lock came from the door. He immediately sprinted and jumped over the back of the sofa, sat down in his original position, picked up the book and pretended to be obsessed with studying.

"I brought you food. Eat it first before continuing." She put a bag on the dining table and turned back to the room without waiting for his response.

Huo Xichen sat at the dining table, paying attention to the movements in the room while eating absentmindedly.

When Jiang Weicheng came out again, it was already half an hour later. She had changed into her home clothes, and her hair was a little wet. She didn't look at him when she passed the dining table, and sat directly at the design table to continue her previous work.

Huo Xichen couldn't stand it anymore.

He hadn't seen her for four days, and he missed her originally, but now she was dangling in front of his eyes, but he couldn't hold her and kiss her. It was really unbearable.

But he was really angry about what happened today, but maybe what he was struggling with was just trivial things to her.

He suddenly lost his appetite, took a few bites, then packed up his things and went to the kitchen.

Jiang Weicheng kept paying attention to him from the corner of his eye. He came out of the kitchen and entered the room with his mobile phone and book.

She turned the pencil in her hand.

Is it almost done? Do you want to sit down with him and have a good chat?

Just when this thought came to mind, Huo Xichen's voice came from the room. He seemed to be unable to find something, so he asked her if she had seen it, and asked her to go in and help him find it.

Jiang Weicheng did not move and accurately stated the location of what he was looking for.

The room suddenly became quiet, and there was no more movement.
