I glanced at Zhou Yaze, and I didn't understand what his intention was in asking so deeply.
If I say that when he first raised this question, I thought he was just asking it out of curiosity, but now, I already feel that he did it on purpose.
To be honest, his inquisitiveness made me very embarrassed at this time. After all, saying that Bian Xu was my cousin was a lie I made up on the spur of the moment. However, since I knew that Zhou Yaze had seen through my lie and deliberately made things difficult for me,
Of course I couldn't let him see my joke, so in order to justify myself and block Zhou Yaze's aggressive mouth, I thought for a moment and said to him seriously, "Mr. Zhou, since you care so much about our relationship
, then let me explain, the thing is like this, my aunt stayed in the south to develop after graduating from college. My uncle is from the south, and Bian Xu also grew up in the south with his parents, so his accent is slightly different from mine." After finishing speaking.
At this point, I glanced at Bian Xu, who was sitting next to me, and he nodded cooperatively at Zhou Yaze, intending to confirm the accuracy of what I said.
Then I raised my eyebrows and deliberately asked Zhou Yaze, "Mr. Zhou, do you have any more questions?"
In fact, there is a bit of sullenness in my face now. Although it is not very obvious, I think Zhou Yaze must be able to feel it.
Sure enough, when he saw my expression, he smiled secretly, then pretended to be enlightened, and replied to me with a smile: "Oh, so that's it! That makes sense."
His smile like this further confirmed that his inquiry just now was intentional, and the little fire in my heart started to rush out! I really wanted to pick up the glass of juice in my hand and give it to Zhou Yaze's perfect face.
Throw it away, but obviously, this is just my imagination. After all, no matter what aspect I consider, I will not fall out with him in person, although I think he is indeed boring at the moment.
He could already see my displeasure, and the smile on Zhou Yaze's face was even more intriguing. He glanced at me deliberately, with a faint smile in his eyes. However, I didn't smile at him at this time. I deliberately avoided his gaze.
Picked up the cup and took a sip of the drink.
Zhou Yaze smiled and coughed slightly, and then said to us calmly: "However, there is one thing you may not know yet." Then he pointed to Daisy sitting next to him, and explained to us with a smile, "Actually, Daisy
She should also be considered my cousin."
Hearing what he said, Bian Xu and I both looked at him with some suspicion. Zhou Yaze gently spread his hands and explained to us with a gentlemanly smile: "My mother and Daisy's mother are cousins.
To be precise, my maternal grandmother and Daisy's maternal grandmother are biological sisters."
I looked at Daisy, who had a mixed-race face, and asked with some confusion: "Then why does Daisy look so like a mixed-race person?"
Zhou Yaze smiled and replied to me: "That's because Daisy's maternal grandparents later went to the United States, and Daisy's mother also married a local there, so she was born like this." As he said that, Zhou Yaze glanced at Daisy again
, Daisy also smiled naughtily at him, Zhou Yaze turned around and continued to say to us, "But foreigners don't really care about the names of these relatives. For example, in countries that use English, when calling cousins, regardless of gender,
, no matter which side of the parents they are, they are always called cousin. Take Daisy for example, she doesn’t like me calling her cousin, she prefers me calling her my friend, so I just introduced her to you that way.”
At this time, Daisy held Zhou Yaze's arm affectionately and said to us with a coquettish smile: "I don't like Alex saying that I am his cousin. I hope everyone mistakenly thinks that I am his girlfriend!"
Alex is Zhou Yaze’s English name.
Hearing this, we all couldn't help laughing, and Bian Xu and I looked at each other.
After arguing for a long time, the pair sitting across from us are real cousins. Although the relationship between Zhou Yaze and Daisy is a bit confusing, at least it is closer than the "fake" cousins Bian Xu and I.
Much more music.
Seeing our expressions, Zhou Yaze smiled knowingly, and then he leaned forward and added in a serious tone: "Oh, of course, our cousin relationship is much further than your cousin relationship."
Looking at Zhou Yaze's slightly smiling eyes, my face became even more feverish, and I felt ashamed that my lie had been exposed in front of me. I kept thinking silently in my heart: "You must have done it on purpose, you must have done it on purpose..."
Bian Xu saw my embarrassment. He changed the topic at the right time and started chatting with the lively and cheerful Daisy. He asked Daisy softly: "Just now you mentioned that you also just graduated?"
Daisy smiled and nodded at him and replied affirmatively: "Yes!"
Bian Xu smiled and asked her: "Are you preparing for work?"
Hearing this question, Daisy touched her nose and answered him somewhat helplessly: "My mommy hopes that I will get engaged to a boy she likes, but I don't like that boy very much, so I came here this time."
If possible, I hope to stay in China for development and work in Alex’s company!”
It turns out that Daisy came to China to avoid getting married.
Hearing what she said, Zhou Yaze smiled and teased her: "What can you do?"
Daisy showed off her little girl's playfulness, held Zhou Yaze's arm affectionately, and said coquettishly to him: "You are the boss anyway, I will do whatever you ask me to do!"
There is no need to mention it when several people are talking.
After sitting for a while, Qian Yaya just happened to send me a text message. I excused myself to have something to do and stood up to say goodbye. Seeing that I was about to leave, Bian Xu also stood up and said that there was something he had to do first.
In this way, we bid farewell to Zhou Yaze and Daisy
Before we left, Daisy pestered Bian Xu for her contact information, and Bian Xu generously exchanged phone numbers with her.
To be honest, although Bian Xu grew up in the south, one of his parents is from the south and the other from the north. Therefore, he has the tall and powerful appearance of the northerners, but also the delicate and subtle appearance of the south.
At this moment, the tall and handsome man and the lively and charming Daisy are standing together. They are indeed a perfect match, especially in age. They are both young and beautiful men and women in their early twenties. They look really enviable.
When they were exchanging phone numbers, Zhou Yaze looked at me indifferently, as if he wanted to say something to me in his eyes, but in the end he said nothing, and Bian Xu and I just left.
On the way, Bian Xu teased me with a smile: "Sister Haichao, you said that your colleague has something to do with you, is it actually an excuse?"
I glanced at him with a smile, did not answer him, and concentrated on driving my car.
Seeing me like this, Bian Xu's thirst for knowledge became even more urgent. He tilted his head and looked at me with a smile, and said softly to me: "That Zhou Yaze is really just your boss? Haven't you ever dated?"
Hearing what he said, I became anxious and blurted out: "Dating? We just have a normal superior-subordinate relationship!"
Hearing my explanation, Bian Xu smiled slyly, squinted his eyes and said slowly: "It's not that simple, right? If it was just an ordinary superior-subordinate relationship, would he be so sensitive to the man who appears next to you? This guy is just bad
You have revealed eight generations of your ancestors, it’s like checking your household registration! I always feel that he has some interest in you, otherwise he wouldn’t inquire about it like this.”
Bian Xu said this, which made me even more upset when I was already worried about something. At this moment, the car in front of me braked suddenly because it encountered a red light. Because I was a little distracted, I almost lost my car and the car in front of me.
There was a close contact with the car. Fortunately, my driving skills were pretty good and I braked in time, so it was just a false alarm.
In shock, I glanced at Bian Xu angrily and said to him bitterly: "Don't chat with me while I'm driving!"
Bian Xu glanced at me like an innocent child and murmured: "I'm sorry, Sister Haichao..."
Hearing what he said, I felt a little embarrassed.
In fact, how can I blame Bian Xu? I kept thinking about something while driving, but it was not because of Bian Xu, but because of the guy who deliberately made things difficult for me just now.
In fact, I have been regretting it. Why did I tell that lie to Zhou Yaze and the others when we were in the arena just now?
In fact, I directly said that Bian Xu is my friend, or explained that he used to be my daughter's tutor. Because we are familiar with each other and we both like sports, we often make appointments to play ball and other things together on weekends. In fact, this is fair to say,
Nothing really.
But I just went out of my way to say that Bian Xu was my cousin. As a result, the thoughtful Zhou Yaze saw through my lie at once, which made me very embarrassed. It seemed that the three hundred taels of silver here were trying to hide it, or not.
It seems like there really is some shady relationship between me and Bian Xu. This thing was done in a very classy way.
In fact, when I was driving just now, I had been regretting this matter in my heart. In addition, Bian Xu had nothing to say and deliberately mentioned my relationship with Zhou Yaze, so I took the anger out on him. I really shouldn't have...
Thinking of this, I smiled apologetically at Bian Xu and murmured back to him: "Ahem, what are you saying you're sorry for? I don't blame you, I blame myself for not being able to concentrate. I have a bad attitude. Don't take it to heart."
Hearing these words, Bian Xu's gloomy face broke into a smile, and he whispered back to me: "How could that be? Sister Haichao..."
After sending Bian Xu home that day, I simply made some food, then went to the bathroom to take a shower. I was not in the mood to watch TV, so I went back to the bedroom early in my pajamas.
But it was still early and I couldn't sleep, so I sat on the bed in the bedroom and played with my laptop, flipping through the pages boredly.
At this time, my phone rang, and it was a text message prompt.
I picked up the phone and looked at it, frowning slightly because the text message was from Zhou Yaze.
He asked me in the text message: "What are you doing?"
I held my phone and stared at the text message for a long time, and finally threw the phone aside angrily, not planning to reply to him.
After a while, I felt that this was inappropriate, so I picked up my phone and sent him a text message: "Nothing to do, ready to go to bed."
Unexpectedly, Zhou Yaze's text message came back quickly. He asked me: "Aren't you with your cousin?"
