Depressed wife runs with the ball

When dinner arrived, Zhou Xingzhi was still on the phone, standing on the balcony, tall and straight, his hair black and stiff. His suit jacket was casually thrown on the sofa, and he was only wearing a vest and shirt. Wasn't he cold? He even took off his tie.

A deep, magnetic voice, speaking fluent English. Chu Yue's heart suddenly couldn't help but beat faster. When did the back of this capitalist become so attractive? No, no! She wanted to take Qucho back. She was here because he threatened her with Qucho.

"It's time to eat." She placed the lunch boxes one by one on the table and told him to eat.

I lowered my head to eat, listening to his approaching footsteps, thinking to myself, if this person smacked his lips while eating, my heart would be killed in an instant.

I watched nervously as he picked up the chopsticks to eat, but failed to do so. He smacked his lips, but it didn't happen.

She sighed secretly. It was not like they had never eaten together before. If he had smacked his lips, she would have beaten him to a pulp a long time ago.

"If you're busy with work, you don't have to come." She adjusted her mind and said seriously.

"Are you complaining that I can't concentrate on having dinner with you? Next time I'll let them choose a time to report." Zhou Xingzhi teased.

Chu Yue: “…”

When did she complain? Isn't this just normal courtesy? She really knows how to add drama to herself.

"Do you want to visit your school later?" The lime squid was actually a bit spicy, and he choked a little.

"Are you investigating me?" Chu Yue instantly became alert. She had only attended high school in Haicheng for about a year and a half, and even her homeroom teacher might not remember her.

"No, when you... jumped into the sea, it was just a routine matter, so I looked through your household registration information." Zhou Xingzhi explained a little panickedly. She seemed to have never believed that she had been a police officer.

Oh, yes, he is a policeman. I forgot he has this identity.

"Didn't you become a policeman several years ago? How could you remember someone's household registration information for so long?" She still didn't quite believe it. How much memory must he have in his head to remember something so clearly and for so long, something that happened several years ago?

Uh… I can’t remember other people’s things, but I haven’t forgotten hers at all. “Yours.”

He still can't bargain with businessmen. If he were even a little thin-skinned, he wouldn't be a good CEO. Who can be better than him at getting ahead of others?

"High school doesn't allow outsiders to enter casually. Take a nap, don't you have a lot of work to do?" She doesn't have many deep memories of high school.

After dinner, Chu Yue took a nap upstairs while Zhou Xingzhi worked downstairs. From time to time, she could hear him answering the phone, typing on his computer, and making video conference calls. He even brought her a book, "Naoto Fukasawa." She called it a nap, but she was actually just lying in bed reading.

In the evening, around dinner time, the two of them went out for a walk. The coffee shop on the first floor of the hotel was still quite empty. The wind was quite strong outside. Chu Yue was wearing a hooded jacket, so she didn't wear a scarf.

The two of them walked along the coastal street, looking like a couple in love. Chu Yue deliberately kept some distance from him. For Zhou Xingzhi, this stretch of road was still the same one he used to patrol when he was a police officer.

On summer nights, there are many tourists here who rent an electric car and go for a ride.

"Let's rent an electric car too." He took Chu Yue's hand and walked into an electric car rental store.

It's so cold, why would you drive an electric bike? Before I could refuse, he pulled me in. The shop owner and his family were still eating, and he called out to them in the yard: "Boss, can I rent an electric bike?"

The shop owner came out to entertain them warmly, but Chu Yue could only watch from the side with his hands in his pockets.

After paying, the boss took out the car keys, drove out one of the many electric cars, and said, "You can go around this street for two hours. There are many restaurants in front, and there are also fireworks. You can buy fireworks and set them off at the beach." Then he rode the car out of the store and handed the keys to Zhou Xingzhi.

He took the key and thanked the boss. The boss looked at Chu Yue who had been following him and said politely with a smile: "Young man, your girlfriend is very beautiful. I hope you have fun." After that, he patted him on the back.

"Thank you, boss." He inserted the key, got in the car, and motioned Chu Yue to get in as well.

"Aren't you cold?" Chu Yue still had her hands in her pockets. She still felt cold.

Zhou Xingzhi turned the key, kicked the foot pedal down, stood up, took off his scarf, and put it around her neck. Chu Yue subconsciously stepped back, and he pulled her back with the scarf, saying, "Didn't you say you were cold?"

His scarf was filled with the woody scent of his body, the cool and quiet cedar, mixed with the salty smell of sea water, and still retained some of his warm body temperature.

The moment it touched her skin, Chu Yue couldn't help but shudder. He pulled up the scarf in front of her to cover half of her face. After he was ready, he got on the electric bike again and motioned for her to get on.

Chu Yue had no choice but to get in the car and wanted to reach out to hold on, but couldn't find any suitable place.

"Is it supported?" Zhou Xingzhi was a little anxious because he didn't see the hands he was expecting to support his waist.

"Okay." Unable to find it in front, she could only look behind.

Zhou Xingzhi sighed, turned his head, pulled her wrists to his waist, put her hands in his coat pockets, and said, "You won't be cold this way. Hold on tight."

His pockets were indeed warm. "Yeah." Chu Yue replied softly, started the car, and drove leisurely on the street.

"Did the teacher say anything to you?" Chu Yue asked him in a slightly higher voice from behind him.

"No, she just asked me to take good care of you." He replied, feeling inexplicably good.

She murmured to herself, "I can take care of myself."

"What?" The wind was too strong and Zhou Xingzhi couldn't hear clearly.

"Zhou Xingzhi, let's give it a try and fall in love." She replied loudly to him.

These words, carried by the sea breeze, were scattered in the air. He caught every word of them, like the beat of a drum, beating against his heart again and again.

He lowered his long legs and braked suddenly, and the car stopped in the middle of the road. Chu Yue couldn't react in time and her face hit his back.

"What did you say?" He couldn't believe it. After three years, he finally heard these words.

"I say, Zhou Xingzhi, let's give it a try and fall in love." Chu Yue repeated what she had just said.

He really wanted to get out of the car and kiss her, but... she was still sitting behind him, frozen like that, thinking about what she had just said.

"Aren't you leaving?" Chu Yue asked behind him a few minutes later.

"Let's go." He restarted the car. Passing by an old Beijing hot pot restaurant, Chu Yue tugged at his pockets. He stopped the car and asked, "Want to eat this?"

Chu Yue nodded, got out of the car, and went to park. It was already past 8 o'clock in the evening, and there were still many people in the store.

The boss approached her and asked how many people there were. She answered two. The boss led her to find a seat. Zhou Xingzhi parked the car, quickly caught up with her, and naturally took her hand.

The boss couldn't help but look up. The man looked very familiar, but he didn't dare to confirm it. He led the two to a seat farther back in the lobby, handed them menus, and said, "Take a look at it first. Call me when you're ready."

Zhou Xingzhi took the menu and said softly, "Okay."

The boss walked to the back kitchen and looked at the table where the two of them were several times. He grabbed his son who was serving food and asked, "Look at that table. Is that Officer Zhou who brought you back?"

His son is only thirteen years old this year and has just started junior high school. He came here to help during the winter vacation. The store is busy and he has no time to pay attention to his father. He impatiently said to him: "Oh, I know." After that, he carried the dishes to serve people.

Chu Yue looked at the menu and simply ordered two. Zhou Xingzhi added a vegetable, a piece of meat, and the base of the hot pot, and called the boss to take the order.

The boss wrote down the dishes while observing them. After we took our order, he couldn't help but ask, "Handsome guy, is your last name Zhou? Are you a police officer from the police station?"

Both of them looked up at the boss in surprise. The boss suddenly realized what was going on and slapped his thigh, saying, "Oh, it really is Officer Zhou. Hurry, Xuanxuan, Officer Zhou is here."

A group of people in the hall looked over here, and the proprietress and the child serving the food also walked quickly to them.
