The great changes that have taken place in Wang Zhangzhu's life have made her originally not too outgoing personality even more withdrawn. She has become a sudden outlier in the group around her, surrounded by classmates who are from better families than her own and have an innocent background.
, she can no longer deal with these people as calmly as before, nor can she integrate herself into such an environment.
In front of her classmates, she always felt that she couldn't hold her head up, and her inner self-confidence was gone. Only the last bit of pride that she was born with and survived after all the twists and turns drove her to come here to school every day.
He was hypnotizing himself in his mind: Wang Zhangzhu, no one can defeat you, hold your head high!
In fact, Wang Zhangzhu initially thought about not coming here to go to school, but where else could she go? She would go crazy if she stayed at home with nothing to do. If she transferred to another school, she would definitely need Chu Huandong's help. But now, she finally
The person who doesn't want trouble is Chu Huandong.
Although Wang Zhangzhu insisted on coming to school every day, her formerly gentle temperament became cold and uninterested in anything. Even her two good friends around her became increasingly impatient and sarcastic.
Xu Yiming and Ge Chengwei saw Wang Zhangzhu's transformation in their eyes. They knew the crux of her problem, but they both struggled with the inability to cure her. Both of them unanimously adopted a very tolerant attitude towards Wang Zhangzhu, even though she was eccentric.
After school that evening, Wang Zhangzhu said goodbye to Xu Yiming, carried her schoolbag, and walked slowly to her villa step by step. Now her family no longer had her expectations, her father who loved her, and her brother who loved her were all gone.
She has completely disappeared, and only Lin Yirou, who is wearing a mask, treats herself hypocritically every day, which makes her upset just looking at her.
When she was about to approach the main room, she vaguely heard the laughter and noise coming from inside. That sweet smile that belonged to Lin Yurou made her heart tremble. Lin Yurou was back, was Chu Huandong back too!
The servant saw Wang Zhangzhu from a distance and opened the door of the villa for her. The soft music was playing softly in the splendid hall, and the living room was filled with the beautiful and tempting aroma of rice.
Wang Zhangzhu took a deep breath and plucked up some courage before walking into the room. He vaguely saw Chu Huandong and Lin Yurou sitting on the sofa, relying on each other. Lin Yirou was sitting opposite them, talking unknown to each other.
something.
"Hey, Zhangzhu is out of school!" Lin Yirou saw Wang Zhangzhu enter the room, she immediately stood up and came over to greet her, smiling at her, "Zhangzhu, your brother and Yurou are back, we are waiting for you to have dinner.
!”
Wang Zhangzhu didn't know how she could be such a fragile person, with no indomitable strength at all. She didn't even dare to raise her head and look in the direction of Chu Huandong. She was afraid of seeing Chu Huandong's handsome face that she had known for so many years.
Looking at Lin Yurou's affectionate eyes with his face, she really couldn't bear it, but she couldn't find a corner where she could collapse.
She lowered her eyes, stared at the tips of her shoes, and called in a low voice: "Brother, Sister Yurou." She couldn't eat well or sleep well these days, her face was so haggard that it was almost pale, and her long eyelashes were drooped.
, there seemed to be two shadows in his eyes, Chu Huandong sat on the sofa leisurely, looked at Wang Zhangzhu with a faint smile, "Zhangzhu is back, let's eat together!" His casual tone was like treating an ordinary person.
Just friends.
Wang Zhangzhu felt that her ears were ringing. She lowered her head further and bit her lip tightly, as if her lips were bitten with blood marks. Only this kind of pain could remind her not to cry now. She couldn't do it in front of Chu.
Huandong cried again.
"I just ate outside with Xu Yiming. If you're not hungry, you can eat!" Wang Zhangzhu gathered all his strength to speak this short sentence smoothly and steadily.
When she returned to her room, Wang Zhangzhu sat down on the big bed without even changing her clothes. The tears in her eyes could no longer be held back and fell down. She just stared at the sky falling into darkness little by little.
Recently, she always couldn't sleep well. In the long lonely and cold nights, she dreamed of her father, her mother, her second brother, but the one she dreamed about the most was Chu Huandong. She dreamed of him once.
She just cried once and suffered once, but she couldn't tell him, she could never tell him.
No matter how much Wang Zhangzhu wanted to turn a blind eye to Chu Huandong, her worry and concern for her father still forced her to give up all scruples and go to Chu Huandong to inquire about her father's situation. She thought that there was no one who could help her father now.
Chu Huandong was the only one left.
She knew that the Lin sisters always paid attention to skin care and always went to bed early in order to maintain their beauty. Most of the people in the family who were awake now were only Chu Huandong. Based on Chu Huandong's usual schedule, it was estimated that he should go to bed at this time.
Business was done in the study. Wang Zhangzhu took a shower, changed into home clothes and went to the study to find Chu Huandong.
Chu Huandong's study is at the end of the corridor. It has the same layout and size as other rooms in the house, but the decoration style is completely different. The overall style of Chu Huandong's study is simple, with a large bookcase on each wall.
There is a study room, a bed, and not even a calligraphy or painting hanging.
Wang Zhangzhu knocked on the door twice, then stood by the door and waited. If it were in the past, she would have knocked on the door twice symbolically, then rushed in uninvited, hugged Chu Huandong and jumped up and down,
Or kiss and bite.
Chu Huandong came over quickly and opened the door for her. He was casually wearing a pair of old clothes and pants. He was still as dazzling as he stood there, and it was hard to look straight at him.
Wang Zhangzhu didn't have the courage to meet Chu Huandong's eyes. She just raised her eyes slightly, and what she saw was where the buttons of Chu Huandong's shirt were unbuttoned, revealing his strong wheat-colored chest muscles and sexy collarbone...
As these past memories emerged, her hands trembled, and she hurriedly lowered her gaze, not daring to look at any of Chu Huandong's limbs.
"Zhangzhu, are you okay with not going to bed so late?" Chu Huandong's tone was very calm, as if he was not happy to see her as an uninvited guest, with a bit of his natural indifference.
But Wang Zhangzhu couldn't care so much now. She was a little embarrassed and said eagerly, "Brother, do you know about dad's situation? How is he now? Where is he?"
Chu Huandong's expression was still very calm, "I have tried my best to find a relationship and find a way, but dad's affairs are too complicated, and he wants to avoid them now. I don't know much about his situation, Zhangzhu, dad these days
Have you been contacted?"
"No, I hope dad can contact me, but there has been no news from him." Wang Zhangzhu shook his head in frustration.
Chu Huandong stared at Wang Zhangzhu's face calmly, as if he didn't want to miss every detail of her face, carefully observed her reaction, then smiled softly, reached out to rub her hair, "Zhang
Zhu, we are the only two people who can save dad now, but you also know that dad is such a suspicious and sensitive person, and the only person he can trust is you. If dad contacts you in the future, you must tell me, so that I
Only then can we do our best to rescue him."
"Okay." Wang Zhangzhu was horrified when faced with Chu Huandong's unintentional expression of warmth towards her. She looked up at Chu Huandong gratefully, her bright eyes filled with timid joy and endless trust. In her last moments,
When she was vulnerable, most helpless, and most confused, she wished that this familiar, warm, and generous embrace could take her in. This man was the only support in her heart.
Chu Huandong looked at Wang Zhangzhu. She originally had a baby face, big eyes, white and tender skin, a pure temperament, and a beautiful smile. However, in just ten days, she seemed to have lost more than ten kilograms.
She was originally slim and petite, but now she looks haggard and haggard, which makes people even more unbearable to look at.
For a moment, he seemed to relax, and the palm he held moved slightly.
"Zhangzhu, Huandong!" came the melodious and clear voice, and the graceful Lin Yurou suddenly appeared at the door of the study holding a dinner plate. Her big, watery eyes looked left and right, and the smile on her face was slightly stagnant, but
Then he turned to Chu Huandong and said softly: "Huandong, I was afraid that you would stay up late and starve, so I went to make you a midnight snack with my own hands. Please try it!"
"When did you learn to cook?" Chu Huandong's lips curved up, looking at Lin Yurou with a bit of joy in his eyes, "Didn't you say that you hate cooking the most and will never go to the kitchen in this life?"
"
"Haha, it depends on who you are doing it for. I know you have a bad stomach and can't bear to be hungry." Lin Yurou smiled, and the orchid-like fragrance spread everywhere.
"I'm really lucky to be able to eat the food you cook!" Chu Huandong said with a smile, reaching out to take the tray from Lin Yurou's hand.
Lin Yurou's intention was to walk into Chu Huandong's study, but Wang Zhangzhu blocked the door. She was a good person. Even though she knew the relationship between Chu Huandong and Wang Zhangzhu, she still took the initiative to face Wang Zhangzhu generously and kindly.
He smiled and said hello.
Wang Zhangzhu, who was sandwiched between the two, knew that she should leave immediately no matter how thick-skinned she was. She lowered her head and smiled miserably. There may be many reasons for the expression that Chu Huandong showed her just now, but it was not what she wanted.
That thing.
She felt that her face was burning, like a fire. In fact, she knew clearly in her heart that Chu Huandong would never look back on her. She held on to the wall and slowly walked towards her room, filled with a feeling called sadness or despair.
All over the body.
From that day on, Chu Huandong began to go in and out of the house with Lin Yurou. He became increasingly considerate towards Lin Yurou. Scenes of you and me could be seen everywhere. He seemed to turn a blind eye to Wang Zhangzhu's sadness and haggardness, as if he could do nothing.
shake his heart.
Wang Zhangzhu felt uncomfortable watching Chu Huandong and Lin Yurou together. She knew that Chu Huandong's tenderness, care, and thoughtfulness no longer belonged to her, but were all given to another woman. They were no longer in his eyes.
Her shadow, the already sharp eyes looked at her with indifference and alienation.
So, Wang Zhangzhu always hid in her room when she came home every day. She spent countless nights sleepless because of such mental torture. For the first time in her life, her relationship with Chu Huandong became so bad. It was not a cold war, but
