Disliked by everyone? She is clearly the most beloved one in the rich family!

In a few seconds, Yu Zhi's face turned red.

Just as Meng Yingnian was about to make a joke, Yu Zhi predicted his behavior and stood up first.

"I'm going to the bathroom!"

Yu Zhi finished speaking quickly, and without caring whether Meng Yingnian heard it clearly or not, he rushed into the lounge.

Meng Yingnian was left alone at the desk, laughing for a long time.

It’s so fun to tease cats.

Meng Yingnian's straight balls came one after another, and Yu Zhi was overwhelmed.

He waited until work time before coming out of the toilet.

Fortunately, Meng Yingnian was merciful and did not come in to catch him during this period, and continued to throw straight balls to him.

The alpha's aggressiveness is terrifying.

He is still a beta who cannot smell pheromones. If he were an omega, Meng Yingnian would not have to do anything and could suppress him with pheromones alone.

Luckily I'm a beta.

Otherwise, your butt would have been in trouble.

Thinking of this, Yu Zhi bowed to the light bulb in the toilet.

Just treat the light from the bulb as the holy light of gods and Buddhas.

At this moment, he thanked God sincerely with his heart.

Not only did he make him a beta, but Meng Yingnian also showed mercy and saved his butt from disaster today.

thank.

Grateful.

Beta gate, forever.

Yu Zhi stayed in the lounge for most of the afternoon.

The order at hand is in the final stage, so there is no need to communicate with the order owner online.

He spent the entire afternoon drawing alone in the lounge.

Meng Yingnian was probably busy and didn't come in to see him.

This was the first time in half a month that they hadn't seen each other for half a day.

After finishing the last stroke, Yu Zhi looked up at the time and was stunned for a moment when it was almost 18 p.m.

He was not surprised at how fast time passed, but he was not used to looking up and Meng Yingnian was no longer in his sight.

The clock in Meng Yingnian's office is above the right side of the sofa.

During this period, whenever he was painting outside, he could see Meng Yingnian just by looking up at the time.

And seven or eight times out of ten, Meng Yingnian could sense his gaze and looked towards him.

As I looked at him, I just smiled at him.

Yu didn't know what he was laughing at.

He's not a person who likes to laugh.

Yu Zhi came to his senses and realized that he was in the lounge, separated from Meng Yingnian by a wall.

After the precedent of interrupting Meng Yingnian's work last time, Yu Zhi didn't dare to walk out of the lounge rashly again.

He clicked on Meng Yingnian's profile picture on WeChat and asked, "I'm done. When will you get off work?"

Meng Yingnian did not respond.

Yu Zhi was not in a hurry and opened the calendar to take a look.

Time flies as I follow Meng Yingnian to work day after day.

Summer vacation is coming to an end and he will be reporting to university next week.

College is different from high school, so he still needs to buy himself a laptop and a digital tablet to avoid many inconveniences in the future.

Because of being betrayed, his part-time job plan was severely affected.

According to his original plan, his current savings should be more than this amount.

shy.

Even if the Academy of Fine Arts waived his tuition, he still had to keep a portion of his money for living expenses and not spend it all on buying electronic products.

Yu Zhi looked at the prices of the laptops and tablets he liked on several online shopping platforms.

The mid-year sale has passed, and the year-end sale has not yet arrived, so the price discounts are not big.

He plans to go to an offline physical store to have a look.

Buy where it’s cheaper.

After some calculation, Yu Zhi simply allocated the money he had.

It is impossible to buy a laptop and a graphics tablet in full.

I'll see if I can get interest-free installments then.

The income from accepting manuscripts online is too little, so he has to find other part-time jobs when school starts.

There will be plenty of places to spend money in the future, so he has to use every opportunity to make money.

Money is his support, his sense of security...

Yu Zhi was so engrossed in his thoughts that he didn't even notice the new WeChat messages until someone knocked on the table.

"Yu Zhi?"

Meng Yingnian stretched out his hand and waved it in front of his eyes.

Yu Zhi came back to his senses and said, "Ah," absentmindedly: "What's wrong?"

"I should be the one asking you this."

Meng Ying asked in a young voice, "What are you thinking about? You didn't reply to the message and didn't even know I came in."

"Nothing." Yu Zhi answered subconsciously.

A few seconds after he finished speaking, he gently retorted to himself: "Well, actually there is something."

"I won't come to work with you tomorrow. I have something to do outside."

Meng Yingnian thought he wanted to go somewhere and said, "Okay, I'll ask Deng Yang to send a driver for you when we get home."

Yu Zhi declined: "No, I have a navigation system on my phone, and it's very convenient to take the subway or bus when I go out."

Meng Yingnian didn't force it, and instead said, "Then at least tell me where you are going and what you are doing, otherwise I will be worried."

Yu Zhi was amused by Meng Yingnian's serious mood.

"If I say I'm just going to the mall to do some shopping, will it seem like you're making a big deal out of nothing?"

Meng Yingnian was slightly stunned.

Then he laughed: "A little bit."

"I'm sorry, I'm much older than you, and I subconsciously treat you like a child. I'm also always worried that I'm not careful enough and haven't taken good care of you."

Yu Zhi was flattered: "No way, you are very thoughtful."

More thoughtful than my own mother...

Meng Yingnian shook his head slightly.

"You are now by my side. The Meng family has deep roots in northern Beijing, rich assets, and a long history, but also countless enemies. Five years ago..."

Meng Yingnian paused for a moment, then said with a complicated expression, "...Five years ago, my brother and I were involved in a car accident set up by our enemies. My brother died, and I lost a leg. I will not allow such a tragic price to happen again."

"In short, Zhizhi, I hope you believe that I have no intention of restricting your freedom. I just want to protect you."

Yu Zhi only knew that Meng Yingnian had lost his leg due to a car accident, but he never expected that the accident was a man-made disaster!

"you……"

Yu Zhi has been exposed to a lot of maliciousness since he was a child, but he has never been murdered.

It is one thing to read legal news and another to hear it from people around you.

Yu Zhi paused and asked softly, "Has the person who framed you been punished by law?"

Meng Yingnian said, "Hmm," "Of course."

"The lightest sentence was life imprisonment, and the main offender was sentenced to death."

Yu Zhi felt a little better: "They deserve it."

Meng Yingnian noticed that Yu Zhi was in a different mood and soothed him, "I'm not telling you this to make you sad or angry. It's all over."

Yu Zhi nodded and fell silent.

after awhile.

Meng Yingnian tried to break the silence: "Well...you can do your own thing tomorrow. Be careful and call me if you have anything."

Yu Zhi changed his tone: "I thought about it, it's quite troublesome to squeeze into the subway or take the bus by myself, and I'm not familiar with the roads in northern Beijing."

Meng Yingnian was stunned.

"you……"

"Driver, you should ask Deng Yang to send me one." Yu Zhi teased himself in a joking tone, "There's really no need to seek hardship when there's none, don't you think?"

Meng Yingnian smiled and said, "Yes."

"My beloved Meng Yingnian, from now on, just eat and don't suffer."

Yu Zhi looked at him straight without saying a word.

Meng Yingnian was puzzled: "What's wrong? Did I say something wrong?"

Yu Zhi hurriedly turned his head and pretended to be cheerful: "No, I'm really a little hungry when you mentioned eating."

Meng Yingnian smiled and said, "Then let's go home for dinner."

"Okay, you go out first, I'll pack my bag."

"Well, take your time packing up. I'll wait for you."

As soon as Meng Yingnian left, Yu Zhi immediately turned around and rubbed his sore eyes.

Really useless.

At that moment just now, he was so moved that he wanted to cry.

He almost lost his composure in front of Meng Yingnian.

Yu Zhi took a few deep breaths and suppressed his emotions.

Apart from his own breathing, the room was completely silent.

But what Meng Yingnian said kept echoing in his mind.

Just eat, don’t eat if it’s bitter.

Yu Zhi thought about it again, and a warm feeling came over him, and his nose began to feel sore and his eyes became hot again.

That sounds really nice.

No one had ever said anything so nice to him before.

Even his biological mother, who loved him dearly, told him only that before she died: "You must be good, you must listen to your father, and you must be a strong and sensible child."

My biological mother understood better than I did when I was still young that without her protection, my world would be full of ups and downs.

She was powerless, and in the end all she could give him was the rules of survival in the wind and rain.

After all, he has to walk the rest of the way alone.

He walked in the wind and rain for a long time, and now suddenly a person appeared and held an umbrella for him.

Yu Zhi was both moved and frightened.

I'm so used to having someone hold an umbrella for me, and one day the umbrella is gone, I won't be able to withstand the wind and rain anymore.
