Song Yuan
Chapter 77
This is the anti-theft badge
His deskmate had an expression that everyone knew. "We all saw it with our own eyes,
At noon in the cafeteria... sigh,
By the way..,
Your girlfriend is quite beautiful, much prettier than that school belle... "
Xu Zhizhou interrupted him. "She's not my girlfriend."
"How can..." his deskmate wanted to say more,
The bell had already rung, and the teacher had also come in,
He could only reluctantly shut his mouth.
Xu Zhizhou's heart finally fell back to its original place.
..
During the Spring Festival,
Song Hanqing finally had a few days free to go back to China with her husband and son for the New Year.
Of course, during this period, Burt couldn't not see his little baby for so long. Basically, as long as he had a little free time, he would eagerly run back to China.
Song Hanqing, on the other hand, had a full schedule all year round and couldn't find time to come over.
It wasn't easy for her to have a few days off during the Spring Festival, so she hurried back to see her mother and daughter.
On the first day of the Spring Festival, Song Xuan ran to the Xu family in a furry outfit. Mother Xu opened the door, and Song Xuan obediently greeted Auntie Xu. Mother Xu knew why the little girl was here. She took out a pair of slippers for her to change into, then pointed upstairs and said with a smile, "Brother is in the study!
Go look for him! "
Song Xuan nimbly took off the thick boots on her feet,
And changed into the Xu family's exclusive slippers,
She said with a smile, "Thank you, Auntie",
She went up the stairs with great familiarity.
Song Xuan gently pushed open the study door, held her breath, and tiptoed behind Xu Zhizhou. She covered his eyes with her small hands and deliberately lowered her voice. "Guess who I am?"
Xu Zhizhou knew the moment she came in. He didn't say anything because he didn't want to disturb her mood. Now that she put a pair of cold little hands on his eyes, Xu Zhizhou immediately frowned. He pulled down one of her little hands and wrapped it tightly with his own. "Why is your hand so cold?
Did you forget to wear gloves again? "
Then, he looked at her left hand, which was holding an exquisite box, but her small hand was also red from the cold … He took the box and put it on the table, while his other hand wrapped around her left hand.
After holding it for a while, it was still cold. Xu Zhizhou lowered his head, held her hand, and blew warm air into it.
Song Xuan stared blankly at his series of actions, then suddenly said something shocking: "Zhizhou gege, can I marry you?"
Xu Zhizhou was stunned. After a few seconds, he said in a serious voice, "Don't talk nonsense!"
Then he put down her hand, which was now warmer, and turned to pick up the pen on the table. He pretended to be busy writing and drawing in his book.
Song Xuan pouted unhappily. "I'm not talking nonsense. You're so good to me, and I like you very much. I want to marry you!" Then she leaned over to Xu Zhizhou and asked, "Don't you like me, Big Brother?"
Although she said it as a question, her eyes clearly said, "I'm so cute. How could anyone not like me?"
Xu Zhizhou was silent for a long time before he said in a low voice, "… No, but …"
The little girl got the answer. She didn't want to hear it!
When she saw the box on the table, she remembered what she was here for. She said happily to Xu Zhizhou, "Big Brother, I learned how to make a cake from Mom today. I specially made this for you ~ ~"
Xu Zhizhou smiled and said, "Really?"
Before he could praise her, he saw the very exquisite and beautiful box. When he opened it, there was a black thing inside.
Xu Zhizhou's smile froze. He tried to control himself and not look too surprised. "Huahua, what's this?"
He saw the little girl look at him with a disgusted expression, as if to say, "Why are you so stupid? Can't you see this?" Then she said proudly, "This is a strawberry pie!
My dad said it's delicious. It's better than anything he eats anywhere else. "
Xu Zhizhou finally couldn't control the corner of his mouth from twitching. That uncle's taste was really quite special.
Song Xuan took out a spoon from the box and handed it to him. "Big Brother, try it ~ ~"
Xu Zhizhou looked at her expectant eyes and carefully scooped a spoonful into his mouth.
"Is it good? Is it good?"
As soon as the thing entered his mouth, Xu Zhizhou felt a bitter taste on his tongue. There was too much sugar. When he swallowed the thing in his mouth as calmly as possible, his throat was so dry that he couldn't speak. He cleared his throat and said with a smile, "Well done."
The little girl cheered. Then she took the whole plate out and put it in front of Xu Zhizhou. "Big Brother, if you like it, eat more. I'll learn more in the future and make more for you."
A faint expression of despair appeared on Xu Zhizhou's face. After a few seconds, he put the cake back into the bowl. The little girl looked at him with a puzzled expression and said, "I just had lunch, so I'm not too hungry now. I'll eat it later."
"Oh, then Big Brother, don't forget."
"… Yes, I won't forget."
…
The new semester was about to pass. Two days ago, Song Xuan was still acting coquettishly with Xu Zhizhou, saying that she wanted to go out during the summer vacation.
However, that night, Grandma suddenly fainted in her room. The nanny shouted for her for a long time, but she didn't wake up. Only then did she go to find Assistant Zhou in a panic.
Assistant Zhou drove Grandma to the hospital, and Song Xuan followed along. After a long examination at the hospital, the doctor came out and said that the patient was already very old. In the past two years, her mental state had been greatly damaged. That was why she suddenly fell ill tonight and fainted on the floor. Her body would definitely be weak in the future, but there was no cure. She could only be slowly nursed back to health …
Song Xuan felt very guilty. For the past year, she had tried her best to nurture Grandma's health and make her happy. However, Grandpa's death really had a great impact on Grandma.
Assistant Zhou called Song Hanqing and told her about this matter. After Song Hanqing heard about it, she became anxious and decided not to listen to her mother's thoughts. She would feel more at ease if she could stay by her side.
Burt arranged for a private jet. Assistant Zhou arranged everything overnight and took Grandma and Song Xuan back to England.
The next day, Song Xuan didn't come over, and Xu Zhizhou couldn't get through either. When the Song family asked, they found out what happened last night.
…
Xu Zhizhou was in his third year of high school. Before the little girl appeared, he had always been alone. Now that she was gone, his heart felt empty. It was as if there was a big hole in it, and the wind that blew in was cold to the bones …
His deskmate never saw Xu Zhizhou run out between classes again. He always ate lunch alone. He became more and more unapproachable.
He guessed that he had most likely broken up with his girlfriend. He didn't dare to mention Song Xuan again, for fear of provoking him.
That day, the weather was very good. Grade 12 Class 16 went to class as usual. The homeroom teacher suddenly came in and asked Xu Zhizhou to go to her office.
Xu Zhizhou went to the office to take a look. Father Xu's assistant was waiting inside. He didn't know why, but he suddenly had a bad feeling.
When the assistant saw him come in, he stood up and said, "Young Master, something happened to CEO Xu."
It wasn't until then that Xu Zhizhou found out what had happened to his family's company. Today, his father had passed away unexpectedly.
His father had clearly said goodbye to his mother with a smile this morning. It had only been a few hours.
The homeroom teacher looked sympathetically at the young man whose family had suddenly changed. She walked forward and patted him on the shoulder to comfort him. Xu Zhizhou's whole body seemed to regain consciousness. He couldn't seem to make a sound. His voice was unbelievably hoarse. After a long time, he squeezed out a sentence. "… Where's my mother?"
The assistant replied, "Madam is at home now, but her condition is not good. After she heard the news, she cried and fainted twice."
Xu Zhizhou abruptly turned and walked out of the door. His whole back was straight, as if no matter what happened, it wouldn't bend even a little bit …
Ever since Song Xuan returned to England with his grandmother, Song Hanqing arranged for his grandmother to go to the hospital for treatment. During this time, his grandmother didn't wake up, so Song Xuan focused on watching over her. When her condition finally improved, he remembered that he had to call Xu Zhizhou to let him know that he was safe.
In the end, his phone number didn't go through?
She waited for a few more days, but his phone still didn't go through. Song Xuan secretly bought a plane ticket without telling her parents.
When she arrived at the Xu residence, she found that the door of the Xu family's villa was tightly shut. The ground was covered in dust and leaves, and the flowers and plants in the courtyard were showing signs of decay. Seeing that no one had lived here for a while, she suddenly realized that she had come too late.
…
Eight years later.
London, England
Etirian Building
In a bright and spacious studio with simple decorations, Song Xuan sat at her desk. In front of her was a variety of fabrics. She carefully observed the characteristics of each piece of fabric, hoping to find the most suitable one for her next design.
Song Xuan's assistant, Ariel, a beautiful woman with curly blonde hair, pushed the door open and entered. "Miss Amy, the studio has already made the sample for the gown you designed a few days ago. Would you like to take a look?"
"Okay, I got it."
Song Xuan relaxed and leaned back in her chair. Then she took out her phone and habitually browsed through the domestic entertainment news. As if she saw something she was satisfied with, a smile gradually appeared on her originally expressionless face.
She saw the huge font on her phone:
[New Golden Horse Award Best Actor: Xu Zhizhou won the Golden Horse Award for Best Actor for the movie "Alone"]
[Young actor Xu Zhizhou won the Golden Horse Award for Best Actor: The director is full of praise for this performance. He deserves the title]
[XX Golden Horse Award for Best Actor: Xu Zhizhou won the Golden Horse Award for Best Actor for his superb acting in the movie "Alone"]
…
Father Yu ate the rice in his bowl and muttered, "All of you have things to do, but don't tell me I have nothing to do?" Mother Yu heard him muttering softly and turned to glare at him fiercely. "What's wrong?
Can't I just ask you to wash the dishes? I've been at home all day … "
Father Yu saw that she was about to go on a long tirade about old scores, so he quickly poured the last mouthful of rice into his mouth.
He quickly cleaned up the dishes on the table, then went into the kitchen and didn't come out.
Mother Yu's words were stuck in her throat before she could finish. She was so angry that she almost couldn't breathe. She forcefully stomped her feet and snorted loudly before turning around and going back into the house.
Yu Zhidong's two legs quickly stepped on the pedals. He rode the bicycle at a speed comparable to a motorcycle, taking small paths … Finally, he was one step ahead of Song Yao and arrived at the intersection that they had to pass to get to town.
He stopped and propped one leg on the ground. He used his hand to tidy up his hair that had been messed up by the wind and put on what he thought was a romantic and elegant appearance.
Not long after, Song Xuan walked over from the other end of the road unhurriedly. She was wearing a dark green knitted jacket today, and her exposed skin was especially fair and delicate.
She wore a small hat on her head, and her pigtails hung loosely in front of her chest. They bounced along with her footsteps … Her pace was neither fast nor slow, and her entire person was so beautiful that it was as if she had walked out of a painting.
When Song Xuan reached the intersection, a familiar figure appeared in her line of sight. His back was facing Song Xuan, and one of his hands was casually resting on the handlebars, knocking twice from time to time … Since Song Xuan couldn't see his face, she suddenly understood what the Shumei had said last time — many people were afraid of him and didn't dare to provoke him.
Because he was simply sitting there, doing nothing, and just his back exuded an arrogant, domineering, and insufferably arrogant aura …
A certain arrogant and domineering person was muttering in a low voice, "Why did you stop?
Just now, I clearly heard that she was coming over … "He pretended to inadvertently turn around to look, and his face revealed an expression of" What a coincidence! "He smiled, revealing his big white teeth." What a coincidence!
You're also going to town? "
Song Xuan stared blankly at the tall and straight figure of a person whose back alone was enough to make people unable to ignore him. She turned around and smiled so widely that only her teeth could be seen. She wondered if what she had just seen was an illusion.
Her vision was impacted. Seeing how happy Yu Zhidong was, she chuckled and said with a stiff face, "Yes."
However, this didn't dampen Yu Zhidong's enthusiasm at all. "Then I'll take you there on my bike. How long are you going to walk by yourself?"
By the time Song Xuan came back to her senses, she was already sitting on the backseat of the bike, and her hands were clutching the clothes of the person in front of her. Only then did Song Xuan realize that this person had taken off his jacket and put it on the backseat for her.
It was early spring, and he was wearing a thin sweater.
Song Xuan quickly went through the events of the past few days in her mind. Suddenly, she had an epiphany and asked, "Yu Zhidong, do you like me?"
Then, the bike, which had been steady all this time, suddenly swayed left and right as though it was drunk. She instinctively cried out in alarm.
Yu Zhidong hurriedly stopped the bike, and his whole body froze. Song Xuan jumped off the bike and walked up to him, staring at him with her big, black eyes.
She asked again, "Yu Zhidong?
Do you like me? "
Yu Zhidong's body stiffened. He felt as though his brain wasn't his, and his body wasn't under his control. Only the young lady's question echoed in his ears over and over again …
After a while, he felt that he had recovered some of his senses. He licked his lips and nodded stiffly.
