My friend's uncle took a fancy to me

"Mr. Zhou!" Lu Xiaoqiao greeted the man inside.

Lin Ziyang noticed Lu Xiaoqiao's restraint and thought that the little girl might be frightened by her uncle's aura. After all, her uncle had been in a high position for a long time and had a serious face that never changed. It was unknown when he last smiled. Even he felt a little afraid, let alone a little girl who had not yet experienced worldly affairs.

He patted Lu Xiaoqiao's shoulder comfortingly and said softly, "Xiaoqiao, there's no need to be so formal. It's not like we don't know each other. Just call me uncle like Lin Lin and I do!"

Lu Xiaoqiao raised the corners of his mouth slightly, whispered "OK", then bent down and sat in the car.

Lin Ziyang then got into the car and sat down. While fastening his seat belt, he briefly introduced the young man sitting in the passenger seat and Lu Xiaoqiao. He then asked Lu Xiaoqiao for the address. After the navigation was debugged, he started the car and drove away.

The car was driving on the inky black asphalt road. The temperature inside the car was just right, forming a sharp contrast with the scorching heat outside just now. The unbearable heat just now receded in an instant.

Lu Xiaoqiao straightened her back, knees together, hands clutching the backpack on her knees, and glanced at the young man in the passenger seat. She had just learned from Lin Ziyang that this man was Zhou Qizheng's childhood friend and colleague, and he seemed much easier to get along with than the man sitting next to her.

In fact, she was not very afraid of Zhou Qizhen. Of course, she was a little afraid. After all, he had such a strong aura and was also the elder of her good friend, but she was more of a guilty conscience.

The reason was that his good friend Lin Lin concealed her identity when she was in college. One time, Zhou Qizhen drove her home, and someone took a photo and posted it on the school forum, saying that Lin Lin was being kept by a rich man. Rumors spread for a while.

Lin Lin originally wanted to confess her identity to Lu Xiaoqiao, but was afraid of losing this good friend because of her previous lies. Her hesitant attitude caused Lu Xiaoqiao, who originally believed in Lin Lin, to misunderstand her.

At that time, Lu Xiaoqiao pulled Lin Lin and said all kinds of bad things about Zhou Qizhen.

In order to make the little sister see the truth, he was trying to persuade her earnestly, but he didn't know how long Zhou Qi, who came to the school to resolve the trouble, had been standing behind her.

Lu Xiaoqiao was not sure about the rest of the words, but the phrase "old, old man" might have really touched his heart.

Because after knowing the whole story, when Lu Xiaoqiao followed Lin Lin in calling him "Uncle", he actually replied, "Do I look old?"

From then on, whenever Lu Xiaoqiao saw him again, she would call him Mr. Zhou.

I couldn't help but secretly glance at the person next to me. The lights outside the car window were sometimes bright and sometimes dim. Occasionally, a beam of light shone through the window into the car and happened to fall on the man's face, making his already handsome face more three-dimensional.

The last time Lu Xiaoqiao sat in this standard posture was in her elementary school days. However, at this moment, after just sitting for a while, she felt a burst of pain in her back and waist, and she didn't know what to do.

"How did you hurt your hand?" Zhou Qizhen suddenly asked.

Lu Xiaoqiao looked at him blankly, only to see that his brows were furrowed. Following his gaze, her eyes also fell on the wound on her body that had just been scratched by Zheng Yan.

She subconsciously retracted her hand, her expression slightly unnatural: "I accidentally broke it."

Lu Xiaoqiao was lying with her eyes open, and we couldn't let her say that she was scratched in a fight.

Zhou Qizheng pursed his lips tightly, his slightly tense lines revealing his dissatisfaction with Lu Xiaoqiao's answer. His eyes revealed a hint of displeasure as he asked softly, "Did you have a fight?"

He asked directly, without any euphemism, which made Lu Xiaoqiao embarrassed and not knowing how to answer.

Hearing Zhou Qizhen's question, the man sitting in the passenger seat suddenly turned around and cast his gaze at Lu Xiaoqiao, then shifted his gaze to Zhou Qizhen, his eyes full of gossip.

Lin Ziyang, who was driving in front, also took the opportunity to look back at Lu Xiaoqiao while waiting for the red light: "Xiaoqiao, were you injured in the fight? Is it serious?" Because of Lin Lin, Lin Ziyang has always treated Lu Xiaoqiao as his own sister. When he heard that Lu Xiaoqiao had a fight with someone, he couldn't help but feel worried.

Seeing that they were all looking directly at her, as if they were determined to get an answer from her, Lu Xiaoqiao could only vaguely reply, "It's not what you think."

Seeing that she didn't want to talk much, Zhou Qizheng didn't ask any more questions. However, seeing her skin, which was once as delicate and white as porcelain, now covered with scars, made him feel annoyed: "Let's go to the hospital for a check-up!"

Although she knew Zhou Qizheng's good intentions, for Lu Xiaoqiao, who grew up in the countryside, this was just a scratch on the skin and a little bleeding. It couldn't really be called an injury, let alone a trip to the hospital. "It's okay. I'll go back and disinfect it later and apply some aloe vera gel."

Zhou Qizhen didn't say anything for the rest of the journey, and Lu Xiaoqiao felt relieved.

Fifteen minutes later, the navigation indicated that the destination had been reached.

Seeing Lin Ziyang about to drive into the complex, Lu Xiaoqiao hurriedly said to him, "Brother Ziyang, you can just park your car on the side of the road. It's hard to park or turn around in this old complex. My unit is quite close to the gate, so I can just walk there."

Lin Ziyang didn't listen to her and insisted on driving the car in: "Your old community doesn't have an elevator. You can't move it if it's so heavy. It's more convenient for me to drive, so don't be polite to me."

Lu Xiaoqiao thought of her roommate who hadn't replied to her message yet. It was inconvenient to make a phone call in the car. It was indeed a bit difficult for her to carry all the luggage and the pet cage by herself. Besides, the other person's car had already driven in, so she stopped pretending to be pretentious.

Drive to the downstairs of the apartment and park the car.

Lin Ziyang asked Lu Xiaoqiao to carry the relatively light pet cage, while he himself carried the heavy suitcase.

After saying goodbye to the two remaining people in the car, Lu Xiaoqiao led Lin Ziyang upstairs.

Inside the car at this time.

Li Yuxuan, the co-pilot, looked back.

I saw my friend's eyes slowly rising as the sensor lights on the unit floor gradually lit up...

"Don't look! I want to see why we didn't go down together just now."

Zhou Qizhen withdrew his gaze and ignored Li Yuxuan's words.

Seeing that his friend didn't respond, Li Yuxuan became even more interested! He finally asked the question he had been holding back all the way: "Is it her?" He raised his eyebrows after saying that.

Based on Li Yuxuan's understanding of Zhou Qizhen, it is impossible for him to have such an attitude and expression towards ordinary opposite sex.

Zhou Qi was leaning on the back seat, glancing at Li Yuxuan calmly: "I don't know what you are talking about."

"Your soul has gone up with others, but you are still pretending! And just now..." Before Li Yuxuan finished speaking, Zhou Qizhen suddenly kicked his seat.

Li Yuxuan turned around and saw Lin Ziyang had already come downstairs and was walking towards the car.

What does it mean to be afraid of being heard?

Li Yuxuan had a smile on his face and his eyes revealed an 'I knew it' expression. When Lin Ziyang opened the car door, Li Yuxuan turned around and sat down.
