696 “AV Shooting Guide” 660: Coexistence
byIn the next few days, Qiao Qiao accompanied Zhou Yuanchuan to have fun in the neighborhood.After adequate rest, he recovered a lot of his physical strength. The two of them even went to climb a hill, walking and having fun along the way, relaxed and happy.
It was this time that Qiao Qiao discovered that Zhou Yuanchuan was really a perfect choice for traveling.First of all, if you have money (mistake), all kinds of amusement parks have VIP access, so you don’t have to waste time waiting in long queues, and the experience is more than one level.Secondly, he is very knowledgeable. He can tell a story about any scenic spot and historical site he passes by. He can also quote scriptures and quote from other sources. His lectures are more interesting than professional tour guides, and he often makes Qiao Qiao laugh.
Qiao Qiao thought more than once that if Mr. Zhou wasn’t so cold-hearted, he would be a perfect candidate for a good husband. At least he would never feel bored with such a person.
We had lunch at a farmhouse at the foot of the mountain, including stupid chicken and wild boar. Although simple, the taste was very authentic. Even Zhou Yuanchuan, who doesn’t like meat, made an exception and added an extra bowl of rice.
There was a large pond in the farmhouse with many colorful little carps. Zhou Yuanchuan asked the store owner for a pot of tea. The two of them sat in the pavilion and watched the small fish swimming around. It was a warm and relaxing scene, but Zhou Yuanchuan dropped a bombshell as soon as he opened his mouth.
“Xiao Qiao, I want to buy you a house.”
Qiao Qiao spat out the tea he just drank with a pop.
“I’m not kidding.” Zhou Yuanchuan tapped the rim of the tea bowl with his slender fingers, “I have also discussed this issue with Song Qiyan and the others.”
Qiao Qiao looked at him in surprise.
Zhou Yuanchuan tilted his head and smiled slightly: “We will also contact each other in private, occasionally.”
“Including Cheng Xiu?” He almost blurted out.
The man let out a soft sigh, and Qiao Qiao immediately realized that what she said was too strange. She cleverly circled back: “Because I separated from him not long ago, but he didn’t mention it at all.”
“He doesn’t know yet, but I don’t think he would object.”
Very good.
Qiao Qiao’s heart returned to his stomach a little. Cheng Xiu didn’t have many personal relationships with them, which was a rare good thing at the moment.
“Why suddenly…” Qiao Qiao felt that the words ‘buy a house’ were a bit hard to say. It seemed that she had become their underground lover. Because she had paid the price with her body, she deserved monetary compensation.
“Xiao Qiao.” Zhou Yuanchuan suddenly held her hand, “Don’t refuse in a hurry, listen to me first.”
“But no matter what the reason, I won’t agree.” Qiao Qiao frowned, “Giving a house is too weird and unnecessary. It’s not like I don’t have a place to live.”
“This house is not for you to live in, it is for us to live in.” Zhou Yuanchuan was quite helpless, “Of course we know that you don’t like it, but if we don’t put the house in your name, we can’t live together.”
“Wait a minute!” Qiao Qiao quickly stopped, “Coexist together???”
The person opposite lowered his eyelashes slightly, as if he was embarrassed: “Well, we have also discussed this.”
“When did it happen? Why didn’t I know?”
“It’s quite early. It’s not official. We also had Song Qiyan and Liang Jize. The three of us had a brief chat.” Zhou Yuanchuan said, “Buying a house is just one of them, but we just recently selected the location.”
Qiao Qiao said stupidly: “Why don’t you tell me?”
Zhou Yuanchuan looked a little embarrassed, as if she had asked a question she shouldn’t have asked, but he still replied in a good-tempered manner: “Xiao Qiao, you know, this matter actually has nothing to do with you.”
Qiao Qiao had nothing to say.
That’s right, she had long lost her right to make decisions. From the moment she was included in their sphere of influence, her only option in life was ‘accept’.
Since we can only passively accept it, why should we participate in decision-making?
“That’s what we think.” Zhou Yuanchuan explained to Qiao Qiao warmly, “If the property is in your name, we will all be ‘guests’ and have equal status, and you will not feel like you are relying on someone else.”
“…I don’t feel that way.”
Zhou Yuanchuan smiled: “Maybe not, but you can obviously enter and leave each of our homes freely, but unless we invite you, you never take the initiative to come to the door. You would rather rent a house outside.”
Qiao Qiao choked.
“If you don’t like coming to our house, wouldn’t it be great if we went to yours?”
“But I have a house…” The more he spoke, the lower his voice became. He really couldn’t get rid of the dozens of square meters he rented. “No, even so, I can’t give you a house for nothing. I have hands and feet, and I can earn it myself.”
Zhou Yuanchuan pursed his lips, with an expression that he couldn’t bear but had to reveal the truth: “Xiao Qiao, I’m not doubting your ability -”
Qiao Qiao stared at him.
The man knew the situation and did not continue.
“I won’t accept it anyway.” Qiao Qiao turned away, “Even if you force it on me, I won’t live there.”
“Why?”
“It’s weird, okay!” Qiao Qiao scratched his head irritably, “You’re not a big cabbage. How can you just give someone a house? I’m not comfortable living there, and I don’t have the confidence.”
Zhou Yuanchuan thoughtfully said: “So it must be your house?”
“Of course!” Qiao Qiao emphasized, “The premise is that I got it myself, not from you. If you put millions on my card and let me buy it, it will still be your house, not mine.”
He said slowly: “What if it is legal income?”
“Do you want to pay 10,000 yuan for washing dishes?” Qiao Qiao twitched the corners of his lips, “Forget it, you’re just fooling around.”
“I mean inheritance.”
Qiao Qiao laughed when he heard this: “First of all, I have very few relatives, and secondly, they are all healthy. When they are old enough to make a will, I guess I will -”
She suddenly paused and stared straight at Zhou Yuanchuan, who responded with a shy smile.
This smile is so beautiful and pure. Just looking at this face, you would never imagine how cruel its owner is hinting at.
“Don’t be like this.” There was no wind, but Qiao Qiao suddenly felt cold all over. She whispered, “It’s not necessary, it’s just a house, I’ll just take it.”
“No, what you said makes sense.” Zhou Yuanchuan shook his head, “I will respect your opinion.”
Having said this, Qiao Qiao no longer had any thoughts about enjoying the scenery. Just now, he thought the carp in the pond were colorful and lively, but now he just felt that they were stupid and clumsy. They could only swim here and there in circles in such a small pond, which was pitiful and miserable.
The three-day holiday was over and Qiao Qiao was going back to work. Although Zhou Yuanchuan was not happy in every way, he had to give in.He was very dissatisfied with Qiao Qiao’s job, but he couldn’t show it clearly. He expressed his intention to ask Qiao Qiao to change his job several times, but Qiao Qiao pretended not to understand.
She doesn’t like this job either, but she needs it now.
Zhou Yuanchuan was not suspicious of her “clerk” statement, and just asked why she suddenly wanted to do this. Qiao Qiao gave the reason for “relaxing” that she had prepared long ago. Anyway, she couldn’t let Zhou Yuanchuan know what she was doing.
After seeing off Zhou Yuanchuan, Qiao Qiao simply packed up his things and returned to Mei Tang’s villa in the night.
Mei Tang was not here, which was normal. He was not someone who would settle for loneliness. Qiao Qiao guessed that he might want to drink at night, so he prepared a pot of hangover soup in advance.
The clock hit one o’clock in the morning, and Mei Tang finally came back. At this time, most of the servants in the villa were asleep. Qiao Qiao had been staying in the lobby because he had to pack his things, and the two happened to meet each other.
Mei Tang’s face looked fine, but his walking was obviously a little frivolous. Qiao Qiao helped him to the sofa out of ‘professionalism’.
“It’s you.” The man looked at her steadily.
Qiao Qiao felt that he might have recognized the wrong person, and he was too lazy to talk to the drunkard, so he poured him sobering soup and asked him to drink it quickly.
Unexpectedly, Mei Tang stared at the soup for a while, then suddenly raised his head and said, “Feed me.”
Qiao Qiao forced out a fake smile: “Master Mei, you’ve drunk too much. I’ll call the housekeeper over and let him take care of you.”
“No.”
The wrist was held tightly by a hand, “Feed me.”
Qiao Qiao tried to break away for a while, but people who drank alcohol always had a strange power. She couldn’t break away after a long time of effort, so she had to accept her fate and sit back on the sofa, and picked up the bowl perfunctorily: “Okay, after you drink, you can go and rest.”
Mei Tang was much more well-behaved this time: “Okay.”
One ladle, two ladles, Mei Tang just stared at her and mechanically swallowed what was put into her mouth. Qiao Qiao regretted why he didn’t just put some medicine into the soup. What a good opportunity.
After drinking a bowl of hangover soup, Mei Tang rested on the sofa covering his eyes with the back of his hand. He asked Qiao Qiao to help pack his belongings. Qiao Qiao saw the handbag containing the laptop at a glance.
The small USB flash drive Zhou Yuanchuan brought to her was kept in her pocket. As long as she plugged it into Mei Tang’s computer, she could copy all the information in it.
Qiao Qiao glanced back subconsciously, only to find that the person who had closed his eyes just now was staring at her. His eyes were so clear, how could he look drunk?Qiao Qiao’s heart skipped a beat, and she straightened up as if nothing had happened: “There’s nothing missing. I’ll ask the housekeeper to bring it to you.”
“Then why bother?” Mei Tang said lazily, “Put it up for me.”
Qiao Qiao didn’t say anything, but he rang the butler’s bell. After a while, the butler came up and took over everything Mei Tang brought back.
From beginning to end, Mei Tang’s eyes fell on Qiao Qiao.
No matter how Qiao Qiao ignored him, it was really uncomfortable to be stared at by someone like this. He couldn’t bear it and met the other person’s gaze: “Master Mei, what did I do wrong?”
“No.” Mei Tang spoke very slowly, not sure if it was the numbing effect of alcohol. Qiao Qiao felt that every word he said was uncontrollable, “I thought you wouldn’t come back.”
