Chapter 31

Zhou Weixia couldn't tell a lie, so he could only let her in silently, closed the door gently, and explained without confidence, "I've seen her a few times recently."

Shen Yunman took a deep breath, and made a gesture that he didn't know whether to appease him or calm his emotions, "Is it just about work?"

Is it just about work?These words seemed to toss the coin in Zhou Weixia's heart that was half-hanging in the air and hadn't landed for a long time. Before it landed, he already had expectations.

Shen Yunman looked at him not with blame, but with more worry, "Do you know that he went to the company today?"

Zhou Weixia's astonished expression gave an obvious answer.Shen Yunman took two steps around the room, seemed to have cleared his mind, sat down and said, "He came to negotiate terms with me."

"He said he didn't want a penny, and he was willing to sign the statement, as long as we don't interfere in your affairs." Shen Yunman said, almost laughing angrily, "That kid is quite shrewd, he has never done business negotiations. Looks good."

Zhou Weixia was still standing by the door, turning Shen Yunman's words in his head twice, trying to figure out what was going on, but his thinking became even more confused.

"I don't want to hear his bunch of useful and useless promises, Wei Xia, let me ask you, what do you think?" The emotion on Shen Yunman's face gradually calmed down, and his voice became quiet, "Are you really going to talk to him again... "

She paused, as if she couldn't find a suitable description, "Actually, I mentioned it to my mother several times in the past few years, and she has gradually accepted your sexuality. You see, she still likes Yan Ping...but you And Ye Xingzhi..."

Shen Yunman looked at him, "We thought five years had passed."

Indeed, almost five years have passed. At the age of 25, you can't forget your 20-year-old lover, maybe it's a very unpromising thing.

I met other people, I tried and started again, I tried to forget, but all the "tried" were easily washed away by Ye Xingzhi with one sentence.

The coin in my heart finally fell to the ground, so I didn't have to see which side was facing up.Zhou Weixia met her sister's gaze and replied softly, "There was a misunderstanding before, but now..."

He didn't say any more, but it was more useful than anything else he said.Shen Yunman's chattering persuasion dissipated in the air in an instant, staring at the person with his head lowered in front of him, his tone became serious, "Have you thought it through?"

She fiddled with her somewhat messy long hair twice, and stopped speaking very euphemistically, "His statement...whether it is a misunderstanding or not is just empty words. Do you know if what he is telling is the truth or a lie?" There is a way to prove it."

Zhou Weixia raised his head and looked at her for a few seconds, his tone was helpless and low, "Sister, you have prejudice against him."

Shen Yunman was caught off guard and choked for a moment, his shoulders slumped slightly, and he leaned on the back of the sofa and admitted generously, "Yes, I have a prejudice against him."

"It's hard for me to be unbiased about what he did before." She said, "Although his mother can't be confused with him, he definitely can't say a 'good' word to our family."

After all, how much older he was, Shen Yunman was not angry because of Zhou Weixia's obviously partial answer, but slowly explained, "People's hearts are separated by belly, you can know what he really thinks in his heart? He lied to you once, you How can I guarantee that he won't cheat a second time."

Shen Yunman tried to analyze this matter as a quantifiable risk prediction, mobilizing all objective factors to derive the most probable result.

Zhou Weixia walked towards the sofa from the door, and the dim orange-red light of the setting sun flashed across his face like a glimpse.He pressed his sister's shoulder and said honestly, "I can't guarantee it."

Ye Xingzhi had already soaked his whole mind in a pot of warm water. The technique was clumsy, but it cannot be denied that there was a gentleness hidden behind it, which made him suffer and enjoy himself.

Although he didn't think about when the pot of warm water boiled, he deliberately ignored that the temperature was gradually rising.But in the afterglow of the setting sun at this moment, the unique heat of a summer evening invaded the room, reminding him that he must decide whether to jump out.

Thinking of Ye Xingzhi's submissive "Can you please" that day, Zhou Weixia smiled shyly.Like the timid child in Shen Yunman's memory who just came to his home, he would only be truly satisfied when he saw old things from grandma's house.

He sat for a while, and said calmly, "Sister, I want to try it, will it work?"

Shen Yunman knew that it was unnecessary to talk about anything else, she recognized Zhou Weixia's expression when he found what he was looking for.

When the lights came on, Ye Xingzhi had just finished drawing a draft, and went upstairs with takeaway from downstairs.Halfway through eating, he inexplicably became addicted to cigarettes. He found the only pack of cigarettes left in the corner of the sofa, took out one and slowly twisted the shredded tobacco.

There were a few unread messages on the phone, so he didn't bother to read them.After twisting off half of the cigarette and casually wiping the crumbs off his hands, Ye Xingzhi frowned slightly and made a phone call.

Zhou Weixia picked it up, he didn't say hello politely to others like usual, and waited for him to speak first with a muffled voice.

Ye Xingzhi hesitated a little, and asked tentatively, "What are you doing?"

Zhou Weixia had just stepped on the pedestrian bridge, and saw the watermelon stand at the entrance of the old community. The bright red flesh of the watermelon was under the dangling light, which made people's mouth feel sweet.He licked the corner of his lips and asked, "Did you go to see your sister this afternoon?"

Ye Xingzhi stood up, as if someone was right in front of him, "I don't want to hide it from you." He was eager to explain but didn't want to bring up the unpleasant conversation, "I said before that I will solve those things at home."

He wasn't sure how Shen Yunman told Zhou Weixia, and added, "I'm afraid they will make things difficult for you again."

"..."

Zhou Weixia was walking in the courtyard of the old community, and saw that the window of Ye Xingzhi's room was lit. Instead of continuing this topic, he asked another question, "Is there really 122 pieces in 'Knulp'?"

Ye Xingzhi was walking around the terrace and the living room a little restlessly, but was stopped by his question, and replied, "Yes."

He didn't know when he squeezed half of the cigarette in his hand, and said in a low voice, "I should have shown it to you long ago, but you didn't want to."

"..." Zhou Weixia had already walked downstairs, and the cold white street lamps illuminated the leaves so verdant.He raised his head, looked at the extremely transparent green, and whispered, "I didn't say I wouldn't look at it."

The man on the other end of the phone seemed to relax, and said with a muffled smile, "Want to see?" He walked back into the room, glanced at the canvases and paints piled up everywhere, "Only a part of it is placed in the studio."

He paused, as if sending out an ordinary job invitation, and half-truthfully said, "There are still some in my studio. I wonder if Mr. Zhou will show his face."

Zhou Weixia walked into the familiar corridor, went upstairs step by step, followed his words and asked, "Is Teacher Ye free now?"

There were two polite knocks on the door, Ye Xingzhi was slightly surprised, but soon realized who it was, his smile widened immediately, and he walked over and opened the door.

Zhou Weixia was wearing a half-worn shirt, and his shoes were the same. He was just like a college student who just came out of the library with only a backpack.

"Why don't you tell me if you want to come over?" Ye Xingzhi quietly held his wrist, and led him into the empty living room that had been cleaned up.

Zhou Weixia didn't break away, but said in a subtle tone, "You went to find my sister and didn't tell me."

He is still not very good at losing his temper. Although he has too much emotion towards Ye Xingzhi's self-assertive behavior, he is not really dissatisfied and complaining after all, so he can only sigh and say something so mildly.

Ye Xingzhi turned his head to look at him, as if he finally understood something.His hand went down the thin white wrist and touched the fingertips. Seeing that there was no resistance, he boldly lowered his head and kissed it again.

Zhou Weixia would still blush, and flinched slightly, but didn't really let go.

Ye Xingzhi looked at the person who was finally willing to walk towards him, and said seriously, "I won't do it next time."
