852 “After Fast Traveling and Sleeping with the Villain” World Sixteen, Two Brothers (14)

Indeed, she took the initiative to call the other party not long ago.

That was the first time.

When Zhao Heping picked up the call, he thought Xue Xue had dialed the wrong number.

But the clear and affirmative “big brother” made the man dispel his doubts.

“What’s the matter?”

he asked.

Xue Xue did not elaborate on the phone, but just said that he had encountered some troubles and needed help, and he would wait until he returned to Beijing to discuss the details.

Because of this, Zhao Heping came back with Wang Lihua for the first time.

In the past, except for necessary interactions at Zhao Jiancheng’s request, he had always kept a distance from women.

“You want to go back to Jingxi with your stepmother?”

Yao Ting felt baffled when he heard Zhao Heping’s decision.

“Yeah.”

“Why so sudden?” He frowned.”Didn’t you already ask for leave from the professor and plan to lead a team to Yun’an for inspection?”

“Just postpone it.” Zhao Heping slowly shook the wine glass in his hand without taking it seriously.”It’s not a big deal.”

“…Okay.” Yao Ting was speechless.”Those who didn’t know better would have thought that you and your stepmother have such a good relationship.”

Hearing this, Zhao Heping smiled.

“I’m telling you, listen less to gossip. It’s a waste of time and can easily make your mind unclear.”

“…Why do I feel like you are scolding me?”

Zhao Heping smiled and said nothing.

The bar was buzzing, and it was always a lively Friday night, especially when students from the two nearby universities joined in.

The deafening sound of music resounded in every corner, and the lead singer of the band on the stage belted out gorgeous high notes. A group of young men and women dressed fashionably twisted their bodies to the beat in the changing light and shadow, looking youthful and happy.

Even though he and Yao Ting were nestled in a corner of the bar where no one noticed, Zhao Heping still stood out.

After watching him skillfully and simply reject the beautiful girl who asked for her contact information, Yao Ting finally couldn’t help it anymore.

“Too much!”

His voice was loud. Zhao Heping, who was scrolling on his cell phone, looked up with a puzzled look on his face.

“What?”

“I’m right next to you, why didn’t that girl just look like she didn’t see me?”

Zhao Heping expressed his indignation and found it difficult to understand.

“Maybe your sense of presence is relatively low.”

Words don’t sound good, but truth is better.

Unable to refute, Yao Ting felt like there was a thorn stuck in his throat. He couldn’t swallow it and couldn’t spit it out. He felt very uncomfortable.

“…I really hope someone can treat you.” After holding it in for a long time and downing two glasses of wine, he reluctantly wiped his mouth with the back of his hand.”Save me from coming out to harm others again.”

I just don’t know who is going to suffer from this.

This was the first time Zhao Heping entered Xue Qi’s room.

It was renovated from one of the three guest rooms. Of course, it was not as good as the two brothers’ room and the master bedroom, but Xue Qi was a girl who was full of ingenuity in life and decorated the small space in her own style.

“Brother, just find a seat and sit wherever you like.”

After saying this, Xue Xue felt that it seemed inappropriate, so he simply pulled out the chair he had placed in front of the desk.

“Sit here.”

Zhao Heping, who had a slight mysophobia, frowned almost invisible, but Xue Xue didn’t notice.

“Would you like something to drink?” She also moved the small stool in front of the dressing table.”Shall I go get it?”

Seeing how busy she was, Zhao Heping’s originally tense expression relaxed, and a faint smile overflowed from his bright black eyes.

Xue Xue, who happened to raise his head, met his eyes unexpectedly.

At that moment, the heartbeat was amplified to the extreme, like fireworks blooming in my ears.

This is Xue Qi’s emotion, and Xue Xue knows it.

But she also understood why Xue Qi fell in love with Zhao Heping unknowingly.

“Is there something on my face?”

Hearing his voice, Xue Xue came back to his senses.

“No, no!”

As soon as he said the words, he realized that his voice was trembling like waves.

Zhao Heping tilted his head.

“I’m still nervous.”

Xue Xue was startled.

“It’s okay.” Zhao Heping looked at her.”I won’t eat people, nor will I harm others, so you don’t have to worry.”

He said half-jokingly and half-seriously.

If Xue Qi heard this, he would probably have random thoughts.

But Xue Xue knew that Zhao Heping was really trying to comfort her.

In your own way, be attentive and considerate.

Xue Qi actually understood it, and it was precisely because of this that she was moved.

Especially compared to Zhao He’an, Zhao Heping, who seems unapproachable on the surface, is more like a normal person.

“So can you tell me?” He pushed up the glasses on the bridge of his nose.”What did you say on the phone that you wanted to discuss with me, and that you could only discuss it in person?”

Xue Xue did not answer immediately.

She is organizing language.

When she encountered trouble, she subconsciously thought that the person she could turn to for help was Zhao Heping.

But first she has to think about how to deal with the man’s possible reaction.

“Xue Qi?”

Xue Xue shivered.

After her long eyelashes trembled twice, her eyelids timidly opened, and there seemed to be a flicker of light in her clear eyes.

At that moment, Zhao Heping’s heart skipped a beat.

The man’s expression became unnatural as he felt something he had never felt before.

But he quickly put away his abnormal behavior and did not let Xue Xue notice.

“You…”

“I want to leave.”
