Chapter 24

Shen Huaixing held an umbrella for Mu Xueyi and sent her into the gate of the old house.

When Mu Xueyi was about to walk out of the umbrella and enter the door, Shen Huaixing took her arm and said something. Mu Xueyi gently twisted her shoulders, avoiding contact with Shen Huaixing.

It was too far apart, and Zhou Zhenyue couldn’t see Mu Xueyi’s expression clearly, but she could also see from her body movements that she was very repulsive of Shen Huaixing touching her.

After Mu Xueyi entered the door, Shen Huaixing stood holding an umbrella for a while, as if in a trance.

Zhou Zhenyue asked Xiao Ai to drive the car closer, took an umbrella and got out of the car.

It was raining heavily, and there was water standing on the road. The footprints and the raindrops from the edge of the umbrella smashed into puddles—circles and circles of ripples.

Walking behind Shen Huaixing, Zhou Zhenyue smiled gently: “Professor Shen, why don’t you come in and sit?”

Shen Huaixing regained his senses, saw Zhou Zhenyue, and was stunned for a moment.

She immediately replied, “Just after dinner, I stopped sitting.”

Zhou Zhenyue could hear that Shen Huaixing meant that Mu Xueyi had dinner with her.

Her face was calm, and she still had a faint smile: “Isn’t Professor Shen a teacher who teaches and educates people? He can’t be entangled with other people’s girlfriends like this, and can… teach good students?”

Shen Huaixing didn’t expect Zhou Zhenyue, who was still polite in a second, to say such a sentence, clenched the umbrella handle, and his tone became more serious:

“Xueyi volunteered to eat with me.”

Zhou Zhenyue looked at her with sharp eyes like a hunting cat.

“Professor Shen, I heard from my subordinates that you seem to be getting very close to Mr. Mu recently.” She said casually, “If I’m not mistaken, Mu Ruqing should be like me, I really want to In order to get the school-enterprise cooperation opportunity of Anyang University of Finance and Economics, in order to please your father, she will deliberately match you and Xueyi. You said that Xueyi is willing to eat with you, so if nothing else, it should be Mu Ruqing Threatening her with something makes her seem willing.”

Zhou Zhenyue lowered her eyes and seemed to be thinking, “The person monitoring Zhu Hong only reported to me yesterday. There is no Mu Ruqing or stranger in Zhu Hong’s recent contact list. If Mu Ruqing hadn’t used Zhu Hong, Threatening Xueyi, there is a high possibility that it has something to do with me.”

She looked at Shen Huaixing and raised her eyebrows slightly: “Professor Shen, Mu Ruqing is threatening her with my relationship with Xueyi, right?”

Shen Huaixing gritted his teeth faintly.

“Zhou is always not too confident, why do you think that Xueyi is eating with me – must be threatened? Wan – she is eating with me because she likes me? You never thought about it, she is willing to stay with me now. Being by your side is just paying off debts, not because I really like you?”

Zhou Zhenyue chuckled: “You told her the same just now, didn’t you?”

Shen Huaixing’s expression was stagnant.

Zhou Zhenyue looked at the door that Mu Xueyi had just entered, and sighed: “…Unfortunately, judging from your tone, she may really have some mood swings because of your words.”

Shen Huaixing had heard that President Zhou was a very shrewd person, but he didn’t expect Zhou Zhenyue’s eyes to be so poisonous.

She couldn’t help thinking, if she and Zhou Zhenyue switched positions today, how would she react if she saw Xueyi secretly meeting her old love?

In any case, she was very sure that she would not be able to have such a clear reason like Zhou Zhenyue.

“Zhou Zhenyue, you are really admirable.” Shen Huaixing’s eyes became much more candid, “However, I will tell the truth without any provocation, Xueyi may not really understand her feelings. I know what happened between you two. I know that she is a very stupid child. Although she was forced to do these things, she would take all the faults to herself, herself. The more she took it. The more you feel, the more guilt you feel. I do this just because I don’t want her to make a choice she might regret for her life because of her guilt.”

Shen Huaixing paused, and his tone became lighter: “She has loved me, and I know what she loves—a person, so I know that the composition of her feelings for you is not a normal liking at all.”

Zhou Zhenyue was silent.

After a long while, she smiled emotionlessly and said, “You are right. That’s what I envy you the most, at least… She did love you.”

And she…

She was not sure whether Mu Xueyi had even a second of sincerity towards her.

Shen Huaixing sighed: “Mr. Zhou, I also hope that Xueyi can understand her heart and choose someone she really likes to be with. I hope that in the future… we can compete fairly.”

Zhou Zhenyue stared at her.

“Fair?” She joked—laughs.

Shen Huaixing’s heart was tight.

Zhou Zhenyue tilted her head slightly: “I hope you can understand that Xueyi is my girlfriend now, no matter what she thinks right now, she is my Zhou Zhenyue’s girlfriend. I heard that you are because you can’t get over the teacher-student relationship. She broke up with her because of her moral outlook. If you have such an honest moral outlook, then I hope you can still maintain this integrity and stay away from other people’s girlfriends. If you want to chase her, at least you should wait until we break up. After all… being a junior, shouldn’t it be the family style of the Shen family from your scholarly family?”

When the words fell, Shen Huaixing’s face instantly became extremely pale.

After dark, it rained even harder.

When Mu Xueyi came back, the food was already on the table. Zhou Fengnian asked her to eat it first. She said that she would eat it when Zhou Zhenyue came back.

But after waiting for a full hour, Zhou Zhenyue came back.

The two of them were very silent, Zhou Zhenyue almost didn’t eat anything after the meal, and so did Mu Xueyi.

When leaving the table, Mu Xueyi finally spoke to Zhou Zhenyue: “Is your appetite bad? I’ll cook two dishes for you.”

Zhou Zhenyue whispered, “No, I don’t want to eat it.”

Mu Xueyi asked again, “How about cooking some glutinous rice dumplings?”

Zhou Zhenyue’s face was not very good-looking, and she caressed her hand unintentionally—down her right chest, “No need.”

It was only then that Mu Xueyi realized that she had just been distracted, and did not notice Zhou Zhenyue’s unusual state. She hurriedly put aside all her thoughts and squatted down in front of Zhou Zhenyue’s knees, a little anxious: “what’s the matter with you?”

Zhou Zhenyue looked back at Mu Xueyi’s worried eyes lightly, “You still worry about me?”

Mu Xueyi was even more anxious: “What’s the matter?”

Zhou Zhenyue glanced away, and after a while, she replied, “…I saw Shen Huaixing sent you back.”

Mu Xueyi was stunned.

Shen Huaixing sent her back… that was a full hour ago.

She immediately fell into deep self-blame. She had tried her best to advance the meal time, and tried not to let Ah Yue find out that she had gone to see Shen Huaixing, but she still couldn’t hide it.

Mu Xueyi hurriedly explained: “Don’t get me wrong, I just had a meal with her. I didn’t want to take the initiative to eat with her, I…I have a little…reason…”

Zhou Zhenyue stared at her, “What’s the reason?”

Mu Xueyi hesitated: “I…”

Seeing Mu Xueyi like this, Zhou Zhenyue’s eyes slid – a trace of repressed loneliness.

It seemed that it would take a long time for Mu Xueyi to learn to hand over all difficulties and problems to her.

“If you don’t want to say it, forget it,” Zhou Zhenyue stood up, her voice a little hoarse, “I’m not forcing you.” Mu Xueyi followed her obediently, not too far or too close.

The two went upstairs to return to the room, Mu Xueyi went to the balcony to continue to work on her building blocks, Zhou Zhenyue-unusually did not go to the desk, but went straight to bed. The quilt was covering the head, which seemed uncomfortable.

Mu Xueyi could no longer concentrate on building blocks. She stretched her neck to look in the direction of the bed, hesitating whether she should go or not.

After a while, the quilt suddenly moved. Zhou Zhenyue sat up sluggishly, as if she wanted to drink water, and staggered on the bed and tried to stand up straight.

But before she could lift her head, her body fell to the ground weakly and feebly.

“Ayue!” Mu Xueyi hurriedly got up and ran over.

Zhou Zhenyue was lying on the wooden floor with her eyes closed and lost consciousness. She called several times and got no response, so she immediately called the emergency number.

In the middle of the night, the Zhou family suddenly boiled. The housekeepers and servants lined up anxiously in the corridor, and the old man Zhou was also woken up, and he was so anxious that he circled the living room. Even Xiao Ai hurried to Zhou’s house, holding the car keys, ready to get Zhou Zhenyue into the car at any time.

Fortunately, the ambulance came quickly, and there was almost no delay, and Zhou Zhenyue was taken to the hospital.

In the hospital, the doctor – watching such a big battle, thought the patient was seriously ill, and made a serious and careful diagnosis. At the end of the diagnosis, he breathed a sigh of relief and told the old man that it was just a cold, fever and excessive fatigue. He hung two bottles of anti-inflammatory drugs and went back to sleep for two days.

Zhou Fengnian was relieved, seeing that Mu Xueyi was still shaking nervously, and patted her hand soothingly:

“never mind.”

Mu Xueyi held back the tears in his eyes and said tremblingly, “It’s all because of me…”

Zhou Fengnian persuaded: “It’s okay, it’s not the first time for her to do this. It’s not a serious illness.”

Mu Xueyi looked at the old man suspiciously: “Isn’t it the first time?”

Zhou Fengnian held on to the crutches and sighed leisurely: “She suffered a lung injury in the car accident three years ago. Since then, her immunity has not been very good, and she is prone to colds and fever. She is usually very careful and tries not to let herself get cold. , I may not have noticed it today.”

A car accident three years ago…

Mu Xueyi felt suffocated.

Zhou Zhenyue slowly opened her eyes, looked weakly at Zhou Fengnian and Mu Xueyi beside the hospital bed, and said hoarsely, “Grandpa, don’t talk nonsense with her.”

Zhou Fengnian was helpless – laughing: “Yes, I’m talking nonsense. It’s good if you wake up, and I’m relieved. Next, let Xue girl accompany you. My old man is not here to hinder you.”

Zhou Zhenyue said, “Is Xiao Ai here? It’s dark on the road at night. She drives steadily and asks her to take you back.”

Zhou Fengnian was relieved—smiled, “I have a heart.”

After Zhou Fengnian went out, Zhou Zhenyue looked at Mu Xueyi with red eyes.

She chuckled: “I know what you’re thinking. No need, I don’t need you to pity me.”

Mu Xueyi immediately met Zhou Zhenyue’s gaze and said seriously, “Ayue, I’m not pitying you.”

Zhou Zhenyue carefully searched her eyes.

Indeed, there is no mercy.

Only distressed.

She is feeling sorry for her.

The light in Zhou Zhenyue’s eyes flickered, and there was finally a temperature overflowing from the bottom of her heart in her eyes.

But she still kept her mouth shut, “Okay, I see.” She took out her mobile phone and opened the WPS to read the contract that she didn’t read in the afternoon, “Go back to sleep first, Grandpa shouldn’t be far away, you go downstairs. Find him. I’ll go back by myself when I’m done hanging these two bottles.”

Mu Xueyi didn’t move, and whispered, “I’ll hang with you.”

Zhou Zhenyue didn’t look at her: “I have to deal with the contract, and I don’t have time to deal with you when you stay here.”

Mu Xueyi took a deep breath, summoned all her courage, and reached out to grab Zhou Zhenyue’s hand holding the phone.

Zhou Zhenyue didn’t expect her to do it, so she raised her eyes slightly.

Mu Xueyi’s hand was shaking slightly: “Don’t look at the contract.”

Zhou Zhenyue is good – I didn’t speak for a while. When he spoke again, his voice was much lighter:

“Then what do you want to do?”

Mu Xueyi swallowed: “The doctor… said that you are too tired, you have to rest well, at least tonight… don’t work any more.”

Zhou Zhenyue smiled inexplicably and said, “That’s what you want to say?”

Mu Xueyi blushed and nodded.

Zhou Zhenyue lowered her head, swiped her fingers a few times, and exited the WPS interface. While operating, she asked, “Did my grandfather tell you about my car accident?”

Mu Xueyi: “…Well.”

Zhou Zhenyue: “So, you feel guilty for causing me to have a car accident three years ago, so you refuse to leave, and you want me to rest?”

Mu Xueyi subconsciously denied: “No.”

Zhou Zhenyue: “Why is that?”

Mu Xueyi was in a trance – momentarily.

Yeah, not guilt…for what?

She pursed her lips and said vaguely, “I just miss you well.”

Zhou Zhenyue stared at her for a while.

She put the phone on the bedside table, and lay down on the bed, covering the quilt. Across the quilt, her voice was light and dull: “Sleep.”

Seeing that Zhou Zhenyue finally began to rest, Mu Xueyi’s nerve that had been tense for a long time suddenly eased.

Zhou Zhenyue’s back was silent for a moment, and suddenly she lifted the quilt and turned around.

She seemed to take something out of the pocket of her trousers and reached out to Mu Xueyi: “Here it is, this thing is very awkward.”

Mu Xueyi stretched out her hand to take it, two hard and angular things, she stared at them and felt familiar.

this is not…

Isn’t that the two missing blocks in the manual?

Mu Xueyi’s eyes widened in shock, and she blurted out a series of questions: “You found this? How did you find it? I didn’t tell you what the two missing pieces looked like, how would you know it was these two pieces? piece?”

Zhou Zhenyue covered the quilt and glanced at her lightly.

The sound is also faint.

“What are you missing, which one is something I don’t know.”

Mu Xueyi was stunned.

This sentence suddenly broke into the softest part of her heart with an extremely gentle gesture, and the ups and downs of each syllable even throbbed with the most sensitive part of her heart.

This is what Zhou Zhenyue could only say.

It was a promise and promise that only her Ah Yue… dared to make.

She suddenly felt that every doubt she had about her feelings was guilty.

At least now, at least at this moment, she is very sure that her feelings for Zhou Zhenyue have nothing to do with the past or debt. Even if the past between them is a blank, even if she owes her nothing, she still longs for an eternal and only place in her tenderness and protection.

The author has something to say: You are all very right to scold Xueyi, she is a very soft and **** at this time, I will criticize her with you!

But I want to tell you that I wrote Zhou Zhenyue so well, not to make you feel that the snow clothes are not worth it. But when she did all kinds of things with no bottom line and no principles for her after the snow clothes turned black, I hope you can think that Zhou Zhenyue is worth it.
