The car stopped at the school gate. Xie Zhuzhou hesitated for a moment, then got out of the car without realizing it. He bent down and looked at Chu Yanzhang's fair and handsome face in the car. Suddenly, he couldn't say anything.
The other person had clear eyes, like a child so innocent that even when bullied, all they would say was, " Zhouzhou, don't hurt your hand."
He gently closed the door, raised his hand and blankly said "Bye-bye," watching the car gradually drive away.
He used to wonder why the characters in storybooks, knowing their own feelings, didn't dare to express them.
It turns out that while I like it, I'm also afraid of it.
Fear of not getting the desired result.
They were afraid that if something went wrong, everything would go awry.
The moment he saw Chu Yanzhang's eyes, he knew the meaning of "cherish." Chu Yanzhang was the most beautiful treasure he had ever collected, one that he couldn't bear to damage.

Chu Yanzhang, sitting in the car, looked at Wu Chang, who was driving, and said sullenly, "Why are you driving so fast? Are you that afraid I won't go to work? I left without even saying goodbye to Zhouzhou! What if Zhouzhou is unhappy?!"
Wu Chang was already used to coaxing this clingy father. He smiled and said, "Men don't like partners who are too clingy. You're too clingy. Just because Young Master Xie doesn't say anything doesn't mean you can pretend you don't understand."
Chu Yanzhang thought that Zhouzhou and he had been talking less just now. Usually, they would talk about their reluctant parting, but today Zhouzhou's reaction was indifferent.
He lowered his eyelashes and looked at his clothes, which were all chosen according to Zhouzhou's favorite colors.
He hung his head in frustration. "What should we do?"
Wu Chang suppressed a laugh. Perhaps because he was older and more experienced, he could tell that Young Master Xie's silence meant he was weighing something, but it certainly didn't mean he disliked his boss.
The boss is oblivious to his own good looks, but they know it all too well... If their boss didn't have this face, the relationship between the boss and Young Master Xie might not have developed to this point.
Both men and women appreciate partners who are serious about their work.
Chu Yanzhang: "You lied to me about going to work."
"Boss, I'm innocent! I was earnestly giving you advice!"
Chu Yanzhang couldn't listen anymore. He had to get everything arranged by the weekend, then steal Zhouzhou from Aurora Future and take her there.
No matter what, he was determined to confess his feelings properly.
He must let Zhouzhou know his feelings, but he can't be hasty.
He can give Zhouzhou everything she wants!
Xie Zhuzhou had barely settled into his seat when the class monitor came to tell him that a relative was looking for him.
relative?
It's obvious they're from the Ji Family.
Seeing Xie Zhuzhou get up to leave, Li Yankai followed him.
Xie Zhuzhou asked, puzzled, "What are you going to do?"
"Isn't this because I'm worried you'll get bullied?"
Xie Zhuzhou: "You really aren't just here to watch the fun?"
Li Yankai chuckled and whispered, "How do you know?"
"I haven't mentioned the time you followed me. Wasn't it my second brother who asked you to follow me?"
Li Yankai's face almost split open. "Damn it, Zhouzai, can you not be so smart? Sometimes I feel like a primary school student compared to you."
Don't insult elementary school students; they're very smart these days.
Li Yankai: "..."
The two went to the school board's office.
Xie Zhuzhou has been obsessed with marrying Chu Yanzhang lately. He might be quite short-tempered when it comes to other things.
He didn't want anyone to provoke him now, because he really didn't know what other hurtful things he could say.
The door to the board of directors' office was opened, but the board member was not there. Instead, a well-maintained middle-aged lady came into view.
The school board's office has been requisitioned, and the poor board member doesn't even know where he's going to be.
" Xiao Zhou, it's been a long time. How have you been lately?" Xie Zhuzhou's second aunt, Gao Jilan, stood up from her office chair with a smile, her face gentle, as if she were very familiar with Xie Zhuzhou.
Xie Zhuzhou gently lifted his eyelids. If it weren't for the fact that he didn't have to attend classes while out, he wouldn't have bothered with these relatives.
"Yes, it's been a long time. I wonder how my second uncle is doing, and how my cousin Ji Shanyan is doing." His gaze was casual, and he walked to the most luxurious sofa without any hesitation and sat down.
Li Yankai, standing beside Young Master Xie, even helped him close the door, acting as a sensible bystander.
Upon hearing Xie Zhuzhou mention " Ji Shanyan," a fierce glint flashed in Gao Jilan's eyes, but it quickly disappeared. She thought to herself that if Xie Zhuzhou dared to bully her son, she would make sure Xie Zhuzhou died a gruesome death and was chopped up and fed to the dogs.
"He's doing well. Shanyan is studying abroad, but his grades aren't very good." As she spoke, she sounded like a worried mother troubled by raising a child.
Xie Zhuzhou chuckled lightly, "How can a person's appearance be so changeable? I still remember the look of disdain and contempt that my second aunt gave me when we first met. You couldn't even eat that day."
Gao Jilan hadn't expected Xie Zhuzhou to be so blunt, and the corners of her lips that had been turned up gradually fell.
Of course she remembered the time Xie Zhuzhou returned to the Ji Family's old house. As his second aunt, she gave Xie Zhuzhou a lot of things, which amounted to 50 million in cash.
But how did this guy treat her!
She actually sent her brother to prison!
What a heartless, shameless bastard! He dares to act tough in front of her. If it weren't for the Sheng Family protecting him, Xie Zhuzhou would have died countless times! And he still dares to yell at her.
The more Gao Jilan thought about it, the redder her eyes became, as if she wanted to tear Xie Zhuzhou to pieces immediately!
"My second aunt had an upset stomach that day and couldn't eat. You must have misunderstood the rest." She stared intently at Xie Zhuzhou's face for a moment, then turned her gaze to Li Yankai: "Let's talk about some family matters. We don't need any outsiders, do we?"
Li Yankai was kicked out and had no choice but to leave, but Xie Zhuzhou blocked him with one hand, preventing him from leaving.
Li Yankai was deeply moved; he knew that Xie Zhuzhou had already considered him a brother!
But Xie Zhuzhou spoiled the mood a second later, saying, "The school board member's tea is in the third glass case. Go get it."
Li Yankai's heartfelt emotions were ultimately wasted. He glanced at Xie Zhuzhou with a complicated expression. No, those were the school board members' things; how could he just touch them?!
Seeing Li Yankai hesitate, Xie Zhuzhou casually told him, "Actually, the school board member told me before that as long as I don't cause any major trouble, I can drink this tea as I please."
Li Yankai: "..." Good heavens, Xie Zhuzhou even dares to bully the school board members! Those teas are clearly rare treasures!
"Alright, he's not an outsider anymore, he's my assistant for a day." Xie Zhuzhou fulfilled his roommate's small wish to gossip.
Good roommates like him are rare these days.
Gao Jilan: "..."
