Chapter 26

After inexplicably appearing in the corridor of the exhibition hall that day, Ye Xingzhi didn't show up again for a few days.

However, he sent a concept brief to the intern the next day, saying that he had something to do yesterday, so he directly sorted out the text version and sent it to her.That girl obviously had a good impression of Ye Xingzhi, and she couldn't help boasting a few words when she handed the document to Zhou Weixia.

Maybe Ye Xingzhi cooperated so much because he felt that there was no need to meet again.

Zhou Weixia didn't know whether to be happy or disappointed.Ye Xingzhi just ran over and said a few words to him, but he was still disturbed and uneasy.

The work of the exhibition had come to an end, and he was gradually relaxing.But within two days of staying at home, Shen Yunman could tell something was wrong with him, "Why don't you go out with your friends? Hasn't Yan Ping arrived in the past two days?"

"Here we are." Zhou Weixia put down the book in his hand and said, "I arrived yesterday, probably still jet-lagged."

Shen Yunman raised his head from the computer, "The young man is jet-lagged, I think he might be crazy somewhere. I'll give him a call."

Sure enough, Yan Ping didn't sleep in the hotel, saying that he had just met a friend and was looking for a place to eat.Shen Yunman immediately pushed Zhou Weixia out, "Where are you? I told Weixia to go find you."

"Sister..." Zhou Weixia called her weakly.

Shen Yunman had already written down the address, and even quickly reported a good restaurant nearby.After hanging up the phone, she held her chin and said, "What? Wouldn't it be better to have more contact with friends?"

Zhou Weixia looked at her helplessly, but didn't see through her meaning.

Shen Yunman put down his phone, walked over and sat on the edge of the sofa, hugging his younger brother, and said, "Yan Ping is pretty good, Mr. Yan has friendship with his uncle, and Yan Ping reads well, and I will probably want to do your job in the future, and he is cheerful... "

Zhou Weixia got a headache when he heard it, "I didn't say he was bad."

"Then do you think he is younger than you? I think children are better, otherwise you will be suffocated to death if you find an old boring gourd every day."

The more she said the more outrageous, Zhou Weixia hurriedly told her to stop, "It's not...it's because I don't have that kind of thought right now."

Shen Yunman twisted his face lightly with hatred, "Could it be that you plan to be single forever? It's been five years and—" She was really anxious, blurted out the words, and realized that something was wrong, her voice It's lowered.

But Zhou Weixia didn't seem to hear that half of the sentence at all, and said with a smile, "Let's talk about it. Yan Ping... I just treat him as a friend."

"Friends can also develop." Shen Yunman coughed lightly, pulled him up, pushed him out and downstairs, "Who didn't develop from friends."

She called the driver at home, reported the address of the restaurant, and said to Zhou Weixia, "Play a little longer, don't come back so early."

"Understood." Zhou Weixia waved his hands dumbfoundingly, "Go and do your work."

Shen Yunman saw that there was nothing unusual about him, so he nodded reassuringly and let the driver drive away.

As soon as the car window was raised, the smile on Zhou Weixia's face faded slowly.The car walked through the deep green shadows one after another in the villa area, so quiet that it is really suitable for memories.

He leaned against the edge of the car window and let himself think for a moment, then closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

It's all over.

Yan Ping's whole meal in the morning was not very satisfying, and when he saw Zhou Weixia, he began to complain that his friend was not kind, "I ate too perfunctorily in the morning."

Zhou Weixia smiled and asked him to sit down and order, "I slept all day yesterday, so I'm hungry after just having breakfast."

"Yeah, hey, but he just went to the bar last night, so it's already loyal enough to come to have breakfast with me." Yan Ping ordered two meals for Proficiency, and then asked Zhou Weixia if he wanted to drink.

"What kind of wine are you drinking at noon?" Zhou Weixia put on an elder brother's posture, "Don't play too crazy when you go back to China, I will tell the teacher."

Yan Ping blinked and smiled at him, and tugged his shirt cuff flatteringly, "You don't know how to do it. Just have a bottle to go with the meal."

Zhou Weixia couldn't resist him, so he nodded in agreement.

When the main course came, Yan Ping asked him what he had planned for the afternoon while cutting the steak.Zhou Weixia casually made up an idea, saying that he would go to a friend's coffee shop.

"I'm going too." Yan Ping said, "Sleeping in a hotel is too boring." He remembered again, "By the way, my dad asked me to go to Uncle Su's to pick up two paintings and pack them back. Let's go to Uncle Su's studio first."

He pointed to the road outside the restaurant window, "I remember it's not too far from Uncle Su's place."

Zhou Weixia is more familiar with the nearby terrain than he is, of course he knows that it is not far away.But at the thought of going to a place related to Ye Xingzhi, the movements of his hands stopped unconsciously.

Yan Ping put down the knife and fork, and asked, "Are you full?" He saw a little sauce on Zhou Weixia's lips, and handed it over with a tissue.

Zhou Weixia wiped it casually, nodded absent-mindedly, and said hesitantly, "Will you go pick up the painting by yourself later?"

"Why? Brother, aren't you fine this afternoon?" Yan Ping asked suspiciously.

But he didn't wait for Zhou Weixia's answer, he straightened up slightly and stretched out his hand behind him to say hello.

Zhou Weixia followed his movements and looked back, the person he hadn't seen for a few days but still had lingering fears was walking towards them.

In fact, Ye Xingzhi was not the only one, but also Teacher Su and two other young people.Zhou Weixia had nowhere to escape, so he stood up and nodded politely to them.

"Uncle Su." Yan Ping said with a smile, "I was thinking of going to your place to pick up my father's painting later."

"Okay." Teacher Su pushed his glasses, "Have you two finished your meal? How about going over now?"

"It's over." Yan Ping took Zhou Weixia's arm naturally, and whispered, "You're fine anyway, let's go together brother."

Feeling that scorching gaze, Zhou Weixia was really in a dilemma, and said helplessly after a while, "Let's go."

A group of people crossed the road and walked into the alley. Ye Xingzhi never spoke to him, as if the two had never known each other.

Zhou Weixia made up his mind to get away.After Yan Ping found the painting, he said he had to leave first.

However, Yan Ping clings to him very tightly, and moves out of the coquettish routine when ordering wine just now, "Wait until I send the painting back to the hotel, let's go to your friend's coffee shop together."

Teacher Su interjected, "Why don't I drive you off. Where are you going?"

Zhou Weixia was dragged by Yan Ping's arm, and replied in the chaos of his mind, "The Intercontinental near the lake."

"That's not very far." Teacher Su went upstairs to find the car keys and came out.When going downstairs, Ye Xingzhi leaned against the window sill, and said softly, intentionally or unintentionally, "Teacher, you have an appointment later."

"Oh, that's right, that's right, I almost forgot." Teacher Su patted his forehead, then turned to look at Ye Xingzhi, "Then Xiaoye, you can send them there."

Zhou Weixia stood there blankly, Ye Xingzhi didn't give him a chance to refuse, took the key and smiled at Yan Ping inexplicably, "Let's go."

There was no smile in his eyes, staring at Yan Ping made him uncomfortable.The young man shrank his neck, leaned into Zhou Weixia's ear and said, "Brother, get in the car first, I'll go get the painting over there."

The weather was fine, but Zhou Weixia felt that he was in the center of some kind of storm.He showed a stiff smile and said to Yan Ping, "Then I'll go out and wait for you."

He turned his back and walked towards an SUV outside the yard as naturally and calmly as possible.Fortunately, Ye Xingzhi didn't follow immediately, Zhou Weixia held on to the rear door and sighed with complicated emotions.

Whenever you meet him...

Just helpless.Zhou Weixia knew this fact clearly, but he didn't want to admit it.

Suddenly a shadow was blocked in front of him, and Ye Xingzhi, who didn’t know when to come out, blocked him tightly in the gap between the car and the wall, with some irrepressible sarcasm in his tone, "Zhou Weixia, this kid is also you Ordinary friends?"
