Lu Shanmin clearly knew that he was not a good enough decision-maker. Zuoqiu was right. With his character, if he had been told early on, he would never allow Ye Zixuan to be involved.

Lu Shanmin looked at the half bucket of instant noodles left on the coffee table and did not blame Zuo Qiu for deliberately concealing it. The scholar had already done enough for him.

"How many things are you hiding from me?"

Zuoqiu smiled and said, "There are one or two more things?"

"It's also because you concluded that I wouldn't agree, so you deliberately concealed it"?

Zuoqiu smiled bitterly and said: "Not only will you not agree if you know this, you will even destroy the plan." He said jokingly: "Maybe you will hate me."

Lu Shanmin frowned, thinking about what kind of thing could be so serious, but after thinking for a long time, he couldn't think of any reason to hate Zuoqiu.

"Is it that serious"?

Zuoqiu picked up his wine glass and clinked it with Lu Shanmin. He chuckled and said calmly, "Maybe it will be more serious."

Lu Shanmin stopped in mid-air holding the wine glass and wanted to ask, but he knew that Zuoqiu would not be able to tell him.

"You don't look serious."

Zuoqiu shrugged, "It doesn't matter. I got on your pirate ship and I didn't think about getting off."

Lu Shanmin didn't think about it anymore and drank the wine in one gulp. "Don't worry, no matter what you do, I will never hate you."

Zuoqiu's hand holding the wine bottle paused, and he looked up at Lu Shanmin, "You just believe me that much?"

Seeing the obviously moved look in Zuoqiu's eyes, Lu Shanmin smiled and said, "Even if the whole world doesn't trust you, I won't doubt you."

Zuoqiu looked at Lu Shanmin's sincere smile, which gave people a sense of security. The corner of his mouth trembled, "No wonder so many women like you. If I were a woman, I would also be fascinated by you."

Lu Shanmin chuckled and said, "In the next life, you should be good-looking and don't be so lazy. Maybe I will fall in love with you."

Zuoqiu shook his head, "Forget it, being your woman is not necessarily a good thing."

Zhou Tong, who has always been calm, was a little nervous when he was sitting on the sofa. He didn't even know where to put his hands and feet. He had been in contact with Huang Mei for nearly three years. This was the first time he had been to her house, and it was on New Year's Eve.

The sumptuous New Year’s Eve dinner and the warm lights have been lurking in the darkness. It has been many years since I have had such a Spring Festival.

Huang Mei was dressed in plain family attire, with only light makeup on her face, her hair tucked behind her ears, and her heavy red and purple makeup, looking like a gentle and virtuous girl next door. This was the first time Zhou Tong saw Huang Mei dressed like this.

.

Zhou Tong ate the New Year's Eve dinner very nervously, more nervous than lurking in the heart of an enemy in the dark. The meal was also very warm, more heartwarming than any other year.

Huang Mei put the cut fruits on the coffee table with a slight smile on her face. She had been in Fengyue for five years and had seen all kinds of men. How could she not see how nervous Zhou Tong was at this moment.

"Brother Zhou, thank you for coming to spend this New Year with me."

Zhou Tong tried his best to stay calm, but the smile on his face was still a little unnatural, "Sister Mei, it's my turn to thank you for letting me have a very festive Spring Festival."

The two sat on the sofa, watching the Spring Festival Gala on TV, and fell into silence for a while.

Zhou Tong wanted to find something to talk about, but suddenly realized that the two of them had only talked about work in the past three years. Now he wanted to find something else to talk about, but he didn't know what to say.

He glanced at Huang Mei unconsciously from the corner of his eye. She had a faint smile on her face, which was very beautiful. Zhou Tong felt his heart pounding and his face felt a little hot.

Zhou Tong withdrew his gaze and looked at his watch, "Sister Mei, it's getting late, I'll go back first."

"Brother Zhou," Huang Mei called softly as Zhou Tong was about to stand up.

"Oh, Sister Mei, is there anything else?"

Huang Mei looked at Zhou Tong indifferently, with a little loss in her eyes.

"Brother Zhou, do you look down on me in your heart?"

"No"! Zhou Tong blurted out.

Huang Mei turned to the TV and lowered her head slightly, "For money, I sold my dignity to please men. You should look down on me."

"Really not"! Zhou Tong was a little panicked, but he didn't know how to make Huang Mei believe him.

"It doesn't matter, you don't need to comfort me, even my best friend looks down on me, let alone you."

"Sister Mei"! Zhou Tong took off the glove he had been wearing on his left hand and put his hand on the coffee table. "Sister Mei, I am just a disabled veteran who didn't even finish high school. You are a college student.

What right do I have to look down on you?"

Huang Mei looked at Zhou Tong's hand, which only had four fingers. The whole little finger was cut off, and she couldn't help but feel a little pain in her heart. She had been in contact with Zhou Tong for three years, and she always saw him wearing gloves no matter summer or winter.

"your finger"?

Zhou Tong had never dared to let Huang Mei see his left hand, but now that she saw it, he felt relieved, "Sister Mei, I was born in a poor family like you and came to the East China Sea alone. I know very well that people like us are in the big world.

It's so difficult to live in the city. If it weren't for Brother Shanmin, I might still be living a life without dignity. I'm a man, let alone you, a woman. It's wrong for a person to want to live a better life.

If so, then there is no right person in this world.”

Once he plucked up the courage, Zhou Tong talked more, "Sister Mei, you are unwilling to be mediocre. You have always worked hard to make progress and work hard for your dreams. You have never given up. When I received the order from Brother Shanmin to pick you up for the first time,

When we were in Tianjing, I knew that you were different from other women. You were stronger and braver than men. You knew that the road ahead was uncertain, but you still stepped in without hesitation. You are more loyal than men."

Huang Mei looked at Zhou Tong blankly, her face full of surprise, "I, am I so good?"

Zhou Tong nodded affirmatively, "Yes, I have met many women over the years. Sister Qing is a hero among women, but that is because of the support of the entire Haijia platform. Miss Zeng is a business wizard, but she also benefited from

Thanks to the huge resources of the Zeng family, Miss Ye is simple and kind.

It's because of the careful care of the Zhu family and Ye Yichen. You are different, you rely on yourself, you have dreams and actions, and you are not completely swallowed up by money and vanity like other women. I believe you have changed places.

Even Sister Qing may not be as good as you."

Huang Mei looked at Zhou Tong's extremely sincere face, her heart felt warm, and her eyes became slightly red. Over the years, she had seen all the ugliness of men in the world, and she thought she would not be moved by any man.
