Haoting Hotel is only ten minutes' drive from Yayuan. Lu Ziyou thought Xiao Yingze would agree to go back together, but Xiao Yingze replied directly.
"No, I have to take Xuan'er back. Do you have a driver?"
When Lu Ziyou heard this, her eyes dimmed. When she came here, the organizer sent her a car, but looking at the current situation, she might have to wait for half an hour until the organizer's car was empty.
Lu Ziyou shook her head. She was about to ask if Xiao Yingze could see her off, but Xiao Yingze had already spoken.
"In this case, I will ask my driver to take you back."
After saying that, Xiao Yingze took out his mobile phone and called the driver. After a while, the driver came over.
"Yuyou, Xiao Wang will take you back, so I'll leave first. Goodbye."
After finishing speaking, Xiao Yingze said softly to Hu Xuan beside him.
"Let's go."
Then, the two people left the exit. Looking at the leaving figures, Lu Ziyou frowned, feeling like he was abandoned.
"Miss Lu, please come this way."
Driver Xiao Wang saw Lu Ziyou standing there in a daze, so he walked over and reminded her. Lu Ziyou nodded slightly and silently followed Xiao Wang to the parking lot.
On the other side, in Hu Xuan's nanny's car, as soon as they got on the car, the two of them let go of their hands. Xiao Yingze breathed a long sigh of relief and leaned on the chair tiredly.
"Mr. Xiao, I seem to understand now why you asked me to do these things."
In the past few months, Hu Xuan has been trying to figure out the purpose behind Xiao Yingze's transaction with her, but after observing it, she didn't gain much. But just now, she seemed to see through something, and she suddenly felt that the man next to her was a bit childish.
.
After hearing this, Xiao Yingze half-closed his eyes and said.
"Oh, tell me about it?"
"Mr. Xiao, you must be doing it for that Miss Lu just now. You obviously care about her very much, but you still pretend to be cold. Your way of chasing women is a bit unique."
After getting along with Xiao Yingze for a long time, Hu Xuan is not as afraid of this big boss as before, and she can occasionally make some jokes.
When Xiao Yingze heard Hu Xuan's words, he was thoughtful, then looked at Hu Xuan and asked.
"Is it that obvious?"
Hu Xuan smiled lightly and joked.
"Isn't it obvious? Mr. Xiao, you came in my car tonight, why did you suddenly have an extra driver? Also, I heard that it was Director Lu who was going to present the award to Miss Lu tonight, why did you suddenly
I have become you."
After listening to Hu Xuan's analysis, Xiao Yingze did not deny it, but he did not admit it either. Instead, he leaned quietly on his chair and looked out the window.
At this time, Hu Xuan said again.
"Mr. Xiao, as a woman, I don't think your method is very clever. You are not afraid that Miss Lu will misunderstand what we really mean and leave you completely."
"No, that's how my dad pursued my mommy back then."
Well, it turns out that Xiao Yingze did this entirely because he believed other people's words, and who else could this other person be except Zhao Ke'er. It's just that when Zhao Ke'er talked about this matter, he didn't tell the subsequent results, so
Xiao Yingze mistakenly thought that Xiao Zichen had caught their mother in this way.
Hu Xuan was a little surprised when she heard this, but she still kindly reminded Xiao Yingze.
"Mr. Xiao, this method of yours is not impossible to succeed, but the key is that you must first understand Miss Lu's feelings for you. This kind of provocation method must be successful only when the other party is also interested in you, otherwise it will not work.
It’s just a futile effort.”
After saying that, Hu Xuan paused, looked at Xiao Yingze who was a little irritable, and asked tentatively.
"Mr. Xiao, how does Miss Lu feel about you?"
"If I knew, would I still have to do this?"
When Xiao Yingze heard this, he felt anxious. If Lu Ziyou had him in his heart, he would have captured this woman long ago, and there would be no need to do so many things.
He originally thought of stimulating Lu Ziyou in this way, but now that Hu Xuan said this, Xiao Yingze suddenly lost confidence. The woman repeatedly rejected him, obviously she didn't like him, so what's the point of doing this now? Suddenly, Xiao Yingze felt
I feel like a clown, singing a stupid one-man show here.
Hu Xuan on the side listened thoughtfully, and when she was approaching her apartment, Hu Xuan spoke again.
"Mr. Xiao, if you believe me, I can help you. If you want to know whether Miss Lu is interested in you, you have to give her some strong medicine."
When Xiao Yingze heard this, a glimmer of light flashed in his dim eyes, he sat up from his chair, looked at Hu Xuan, and asked in confusion.
"What can you do?"
"Is this it? I'll tell you after I think about it. Just think of it as repaying your support for me during this period. Thank you Mr. Xiao for sending me back tonight. Good night."
After saying that, Hu Xuan opened the door and got out of the car, quickly disappearing into the night.
Xiao Yingze was sitting in the car in a daze, when the driver in front knocked on the middle fender and asked.
"Mr. Xiao, where are you going?"
Xiao Yingze originally planned to return to Haotianju, but he hesitated and said.
"Please send me back to Yayuan."
After saying that, the driver drove away from Hu Xuan's residence and arrived at Yayuan soon.
After getting out of the car, Xiao Yingze raised his head and glanced upstairs. The lights in Lu Ziyou's apartment were on. Thinking of what Hu Xuan said when he got off the car, the haze all night disappeared, and even the steps under his feet became much lighter.
In the blink of an eye, another half month has passed, and Xiao Yingxi's life in Tongcheng is on the right track. The first batch of students in the school have all arrived in early September. As the only art teacher of this Hope Primary School, Xiao Yingxi works full-time
The courses were fully arranged, which made her feel that her life was very fulfilling, at least she didn't have too much time to think about things.
After staying with the children for a long time, Xiao Yingxi has become a lot more optimistic. It seems that when she thinks about the Year of Mas, her heart no longer hurts as before. There are even many times when she doesn't think about it anymore.
Those sad things from the past.
On this day, Ou Zhengyan came to Tongcheng. Because Xiao Yingxi was not notified in advance, Xiao Yingxi was a little surprised when she saw him.
"Brother Zhengyan, why are you here?"
"I went to Linhai City to do some things. I passed by here and came to see you. It seems that I have been doing well recently. Here are some things I brought for you."
As he said that, Ou Zhengyan pointed to a big bag beside him. Xiao Yingxi was about to pick it up, but was stopped by Ou Zhengyan.
"There are many things and they are a bit heavy. Let's go and I will help you carry them."
With that said, Ou Zhengyan had already picked up the bag. Xiao Yingxi said thank you and followed him upstairs.
"Luoluo, I haven't seen you for a few months, and I find that you have changed a lot."
When he arrived at Xiao Yingxi's residence, Ou Zhengyan put down his bag, looked at Xiao Yingxi who was busy, and sighed.
Xiao Yingxi was pouring water for Ou Zhengyan. When she heard this, she turned around and looked at Ou Zhengyan with a smile and asked.
"Really? What has changed?"
Looking back, Ou Zhengyan was slightly startled.
It was evening at this time, the sun was setting in the west, and the afterglow fell on the room. The place where Xiao Yingxi stood was surrounded by the setting sun, as if her whole person was wrapped in a halo, with its own filter.
Outside the window, the breeze was blowing, Xiao Yingxi's loose hair was fluttering lightly, and the hem of her skirt was dancing with the wind. She seemed to be in a fairyland, and the beauty was beyond compare. The beautiful picture was like a current that hit Ou Zhengyan's heart, his calm heart.
There is a faint throbbing.
The once simple relationship took a qualitative change at this moment. At this moment, Ou Zhengyan had an unprecedented reverie in his heart.
"Brother Zhengyan, what's wrong?"
At this time, Xiao Yingxi had already arrived in front of Ou Zhengyan with a water glass. Seeing Ou Zhengyan standing there, she asked with concern.
Hearing the voice, Ou Zhengyan came back to his senses. When he met Xiao Yingxi's pure eyes, he felt nervous and guilty. He took the water glass handed by Xiao Yingxi in a panic and said.
"Thanks."
"Brother Zhengyan, it's just a glass of water. Sit down. By the way, you are coming here to stay for a few days. I am taking my children to sketch in a nearby ancient town tomorrow. Do you want to go together?"
Ou Zhengyan originally bought a ticket to return to Huacheng tomorrow afternoon, but when he heard what Xiao Yingxi said, he nodded and said.
"Okay, there's nothing going on in Hwaseong anyway, I just want to relax here."
As he said that, Ou Zhengyan looked around the place where Xiao Yingxi lived. It was no different from before, but there seemed to be some more paintings. When he saw a photo not far away, he was stunned for a moment and turned to look
Xiao Yingxi asked.
"Gu Jinmo came to see you?"
After Xiao Yingxi heard this, she remembered the photo on the cabinet, nodded and said.
"Well, during the summer vacation, he came here with several other classmates and lived here for a while."
Ou Zhengyan listened, was silent for a while, and then asked again.
"you and him……"
Ou Zhengyan never understood why Gu Jinmo and Xiao Yingxi broke up. They were inseparable when he first saw them. It wasn't until the day he and Xiao Yingxi came to Tongcheng that he heard that Xiao Yingxi and Gu Jinmo had broken up.
But seeing that Xiao Yingxi was in a low mood at that time, she didn't ask any further questions.
Xiao Yingxi saw Ou Zhengyan was about to speak but hesitated, smiled slightly, and asked.
"What happened to me and him?"
"Have you reconciled?"
According to normal logic, it would be impossible for a couple who broke up to live in peace. Since Gu Jinmo has come to see Xiao Yingxi, is it possible that they are together again?
Hearing this, Xiao Yingxi smiled faintly again, but then shook her head and said.
"We are just ordinary friends now."
Hearing this explanation, Ou Zhengyan breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Xiao Yingxi with some joy, and asked with a long sigh of relief.
"Then have you ever thought about embracing a new relationship?"
When he asked this question, Ou Zhengyan still felt a little nervous.
When Xiao Yingxi heard this, she was slightly startled. Apparently, she was not aware of Ou Zhengyan's intention. After a moment of silence, she suddenly stood up, looked at a painting in the distance, and said thoughtfully.
"I don't know? Things like feelings are beyond your control."
Ou Zhengyan also stood up at this time and walked to Xiao Yingxi's side. He saw her looking at the painting in front of her in a daze, a little curious, but it was just a very ordinary figure painting, and he didn't pay much attention to it.
, he said.
"Then if someone pursues you, don't you want to give it a try?"
"Haha, Brother Zhengyan, you are joking. Look here, how could anyone chase me? Basically all the teachers in the school are female, and the only ones who are married are married."
As soon as Xiao Yingxi finished speaking, Ou Zhengyan suddenly came to Xiao Yingxi. There was only less than ten centimeters between them. Xiao Yingxi was slightly stunned and was about to step back, but she accidentally
He tripped over the coffee table next to him and fell backwards.
Soon after, Ou Zhengyan saw Xiao Yingxi standing unsteadily, and immediately put his arms around Xiao Yingxi's waist, and gently moved forward, and Xiao Yingxi fell into his arms.
In the room, an ambiguous atmosphere suddenly filled the air. Xiao Yingxi looked up and was about to say thank you, but she saw a strange look in Ou Zhengyan's eyes.
Although she had never been in a serious relationship, Xiao Yingxi immediately understood the emotion behind that look. Xiao Yingxi immediately lowered her head, gently pushed Ou Zhengyan away, and took two steps to the side, pretending not to notice anything.
, said lightly.
"Thank you just now. By the way, no one knows you are here, and the room you lived in before was not cleaned very much. I will ask Mrs. Zhou to clean it up."
Xiao Yingxi said and walked towards the door without any panic.
Ou Zhengyan stood there for a while, and saw that Xiao Yingxi had already walked to the door. He frowned. What he wanted to say was finally dissuaded by Xiao Yingxi's behavior. Then he picked up his luggage and followed Xiao Yingxi out.
room.
"Sister-in-law Zhou, Brother Zhengyan is here. Please tidy up his room. I have something else to do, so Brother Zhengyan will leave it to you."
Arriving on the second floor, Xiao Yingxi came to a room, knocked on the door and walked in. Inside was a middle-aged woman about forty years old, who was responsible for three meals a day and cleaning for the school teachers.
.
When Mrs. Zhou heard this, she immediately stood up and walked out. She happened to see Ou Zhengyan following behind and hurriedly went to greet him.
"Mr. Ou, come here, leave your luggage to me. I'll clean your room often. I'll just put some sheets on you in a while. Let's go."
With that said, Mrs. Zhou had already walked to Ou Zhengyan's room.
When Ou Zhengyan passed by Xiao Yingxi, he was about to speak, but Xiao Yingxi spoke first.
"Brother Zhengyan, it's getting late. You should go to bed early. I still have to make some preparations for tomorrow's sketching, so I won't accompany you for now. We'll talk when we're free."
After saying that, Xiao Yingxi left in a hurry. Ou Zhengyan looked at Xiao Yingxi's slender back, with an obscure glint flashing in his eyes.
Xiao Yingxi returned to the room, closed the door, took a deep breath, and then got busy.
