This weather, wherever you go, is hot. Su Hao pushed the suitcase, walked out of the platform, his face hitting the baked ground mixed with hot wind. She took out a tissue to wipe her cheeks, then continued to walk forward. The phone held in her hand had not rung, she also hesitated, not knowing whether to call out.
Passing through the relatively cool high-speed rail hall, arriving at the exit, the cool wind and hot wind all blew on her. She wiped her cheeks again, her gaze fell at the exit.
Golden ground, and endless tall buildings.
Here, it is definitely different from Huijiang City.
A black Hummer arrived at the exit, stopped quite far. The man in the car rolled down the window, fingers holding a cigarette, swept over here.
Su Hao shielded her forehead, looked over.
That handsome face and narrow eyes, met hers.
Su Hao froze for a few seconds, subconsciously clenched the phone.
With a brush, the car door opened. The man got out of the car, went around the hood, as if to come over. Su Hao was a little nervous, quickly pulled the suitcase and walked over.
Getting closer, Zhou Yang bit the cigarette, smiled, and said: “Why didn’t you call?”
Su Hao tilted her head, gave a sound, said: “I was about to call.”
“Really? Get in the car.” Zhou Yang took the suitcase from her hand, turned and walked toward the black car. Su Hao looked at his tall back, hesitated a moment, and quickly followed.
Before Zhou Yang placed the luggage, he smoothly opened the rear car door for her.
Su Hao held the handle, got in, sat properly in the car.
The air conditioning in the car was strong, quite cool, immediately reducing a lot of the heat on her body. Her gaze scanned the steering wheel, then outward. Zhou Yang came over, but didn’t hurry to get in, leisurely finished the cigarette, then extinguished it, and only then opened the door to get in.
The door slammed shut, Zhou Yang looked back at her, narrow eyes carrying a smile: “Shall we go home first to eat a meal?”
Su Hao held her skirt, nodded: “Okay.”
Zhou Yang retracted his gaze, held the steering wheel, and started the car.
The car drove onto the main road.
Music was also playing in the car, soft music.
Su Hao looked at the rearview mirror, but saw nothing. She leaned against the car door, lowering her presence. For her now, as long as she could live well, it was enough.
The person in the driver’s seat was also not someone she could think about.
The high-speed rail station is a distance from the Zhou family main house. The two people in the car had nothing to say. If not for the acquaintance of the mothers, Su Hao and Zhou Yang would not have had any intersection.
Even less would have been childhood acquaintance, her youthful liking and accompanying his mother to Huijiang City a few years ago, being pursued by her, being entangled by her—these things would not have happened.
Su Hao let out a light sigh.
Very light.
The moment the music paused, it reached Zhou Yang’s ears.
Zhou Yang’s long fingers rested on the steering wheel, slightly tilted his head, glanced at the road outside, retracted, and casually glanced at the rearview mirror.
Saw no one, only a small corner of the skirt.
He smiled slightly, carelessly withdrew his gaze.
Su Hao avoided looking, and did not see his smile.
If she had seen it, she would have recalled when pursuing him, he always smiled like this, actually a smile carrying cold eyes.
Carrying casualness and distance.
The car was about to arrive at the main house. Su Hao also felt a bit drowsy. She looked at this villa area, more clearly understanding the gap between the two people.
Ahead, the man’s voice came, low, pleasant.
“Su Hao, I haven’t asked yet, have you been well these years?” Only when approaching, Zhou Yang asked this.
Su Hao became a little more awake, sat up straight, looked at her hands on her lap, said: “Not bad.”
“That’s good. I checked before, you later completed your finance management major?” His voice had always been pleasant, mostly carrying a smile, very attractive.
Su Hao softly responded: “Yes, completed.”
Zhou Yang nodded, “Good.”
Ahead was the Zhou family’s main house, a European-style villa, with a yard. The black Hummer was parked in the front parking spot. Su Hao opened the car door, straightened her skirt, and got out. She wore small white shoes, paired with this dress, decent, plain-faced, carrying softness and simplicity.
Completely different from the girls around Zhou Yang, Zhou Yang carried the suitcase, Su Hao instinctively stepped forward, wanting to take it. Zhou Yang looked at her with a smile, teasing: “What? One suitcase I still can’t carry?”
Su Hao’s outstretched hand froze in mid-air, then she smiled slightly, withdrew her hand.
He was always like this.
Carefree, cynical, flirtatious.
So much so that it’s easy to be dazzled, thinking one might have a chance.
It was still hot, Su Hao followed beside Zhou Yang, walked up the steps, just three short steps, and felt the cool air from inside.
Mother Zhou.
Su Xi wearing a qipao and high heels came out to greet, as soon as she saw Su Hao, instantly smiling: “Su Hao! Auntie finally sees you again.”
“Auntie, long time no see.” Su Hao could not help smiling.
“These years, ah, you.” Su Xi stepped forward, hugged Su Hao.
She carried fragrance, hugged Su Hao tightly without reservation. Su Hao smiled along, hugged Su Xi tightly.
She knew what Su Xi’s unspoken words were. She smiled. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw Zhou Yang put down the suitcase, took the towel from the maid to wipe his hands, lazily leaned against the cabinet, head down playing with the phone.
Tall figure, full of charm.
Su Hao withdrew her gaze, no longer looking.
Su Xi released Su Hao, held her arm up and down to look, tone pitying: “Since separated, live well in the future. Your mother entrusted you to me, I will definitely take care of you.”
Su Hao smiled gently: “I can take care of myself.”
“Alright, know you are strong.” Su Xi touched her face, the girl’s face still very fair, just a bit more gentle.
She also glanced at her son over there.
Sighed slightly.
Dinner was quickly prepared by the maid. The house had only three people. Originally Zhou Yang took a call wanting to leave, Su Xi did not allow it, insisted he stay, eat dinner first then leave.
Zhou Yang could not refuse, called back the person over there, and said tonight he wouldn’t go.
It was a female voice.
Su Xi instinctively looked at Su Hao.
Su Hao looked down at her phone, seemingly also replying to messages.
By the look of it, as if she did not hear or did not notice. Su Xi breathed a sigh of relief. Zhou Yang sat beside, frowned at his mother, and a few seconds later, tapped the table with his fingers.
Eyes carried a slight warning.
Su Xi rolled her eyes, then nodded, mouthed: “I know.”
Won’t push you and Su Hao together!
Peh!
Dinner was very sumptuous. Su Xi thought Su Hao was quite thin, and kept feeding her. Su Hao could not refuse, and ate whatever was offered. Both talked and laughed.
In contrast, Zhou Yang basically did not participate in the conversation, occasionally glancing at the phone, seemingly waiting for a message.
After dinner, Su Xi led Su Hao upstairs, placed her in a guest room on the second floor, exquisitely decorated. Su Hao stayed in such a room for the first time, and felt like staying in a hotel.
Su Xi showed her the wardrobe, bathroom, balcony, dressing table, then turned, smiling, and asked: “Will you stay at home in the future?”
Su Hao shook her head: “No.”
Why?
Su Xi was about to ask, then saw Su Hao’s beautiful eyes, paused, and no longer mentioned it.
Su Hao liked Zhou Yang.
Letting her stay in this house, indeed made it awkward for Su Hao.
Thinking this, Su Xi really wished she could punish Zhou Yang.
Forget it, forget it.
She held Su Hao’s hand, pulled her to the bathroom, said: “You tidy up first, later come down, Auntie will take you to the backyard.”
“Okay.” Su Hao nodded.
Watching Su Xi leave, Su Hao opened the suitcase, then squatted, took out pajamas. After hesitating, she chose a simple set of home clothes, stood up, and went into the bathroom to shower. The bathroom had a bathtub and shower, dry and wet separated. She chose the shower, temperature set low.
After showering, she came out, dried her hair, stood barefoot on the carpet, and looked out the window.
Outside the window was a lake.
Across the lake, beyond high walls, was the city’s countless lights.
Development in Huijiang City is not as good as Licheng.
Here, everywhere was opportunities, surely also everywhere was setbacks.
Su Hao finished drying her hair, put on slippers, opened the door, and went downstairs to find Su Xi. Her hair was still a bit wet, holding the railing with one hand, playing with her hair with the other.
Downstairs the lights were bright.
Approaching, she heard Su Xi speaking.
The words made her stop in her tracks.
“After all, Su Hao is not your type! Right?” Su Xi’s voice.
“Yes.” Zhou Yang’s voice, lazy, replied casually, “What else do you want to say?”
Su Xi snorted: “Aunt Ling has always been worried about Su Hao, now she also seems not to plan to look anymore.”
“How about? I will introduce someone to her?” Zhou Yang raised eyebrows, asked.
Su Xi was stunned.
Zhou Yang chuckled low: “I will surely find her an extremely good man.”
Su Xi: “Okay.”
I paused for a few seconds.
Su Xi still not giving up: “You yourself?”
Zhou Yang: “I will pass.”
Author’s words: Wahahaha, here it comes, mwah mwah.
Zhou Yang’s path of suffering begins….
