I felt the man gradually leave, the scent of sandalwood faded, and then a flash of light appeared in front of my eyes.

I pulled off the gauze violently, but my mind went blank.

Zhou Minghe left, but his presence was everywhere.

I looked at the black ribbon in my hand and remembered that it seemed to be tied to a box before.

I was terrified, as if I had done something bad, so I quickly took off the bracelet and stuffed it into my bag. I also stuffed the ribbon into my bag.

The sound of parking was heard outside, and the black G-Class did a stylish drift and stopped back at its original position.

I was sitting there blankly. When I saw Zhou Ci, I stood up suddenly, but the next second, my legs almost gave out.

"Jingjing, look what I brought you?" Zhou Ci walked towards me with a smile.

When I saw him, I felt resentful, angry and aggrieved for a moment, but I couldn't show it.

"Put it on quickly, or you'll catch a cold." Zhou Ci brought me a set of thicker clothes, a long white down jacket, and a pair of long socks.

My anger instantly disappeared, and I couldn't help but ask, "Did you buy this just for me?"

Zhou Ci shook his head: "Not really, Xiao He asked me to buy him something."

I looked at Zhou Ci's handsome face, which looked a little tired. I could tell that he had been driving all the way and was so tired, but he still didn't forget to buy me a set of clothes.

It turns out that he only looks a bit ruffian on the outside, but in fact, he is also a caring person.

"Thank you." I said sincerely.

Zhou Ci looked at me with a smile, and the next second, he pinched my cheek: "I feel that your attitude towards me has changed. Is it my illusion?"

My heart skipped a beat.

Really? I'm no longer so cold and stern towards Zhou Ci. Sometimes, I actually feel a sense of dependence when he's gone.

"You must have seen it wrong. I still hate you." I showed a fierce expression.

Zhou Ci's smile became even more arrogant. "You change your clothes first. I'll go give Xiao He something. He's a quiet guy who's not good at speaking. My eldest brother keeps nagging me to take him out for a walk more often."

I was stunned. Zhou Minghe is not good at speaking?

Who was that man whose every word was so compelling?

"He came back this time and said he would stay for half a month before leaving. I have to accompany him for the whole half month." Although Zhou Ci was tired, he seemed quite happy.

He is like a father and a brother to Zhou Minghe, but how is Zhou Minghe to him?

I instantly felt it was unfair, but there was nothing I could do. Zhou Ci did all this willingly.

"Well, you go ahead and do your work. I just had a nap and want to go out for a walk." After putting on my warm down jacket, I was no longer afraid of the cold and I walked out of the door.

I had only taken a few steps when I heard a young monk approach me and say, "Sorry, lady donor, you can't come in or out this way."

I was stunned for a moment. I didn't expect that there would be traffic restrictions here.

Just when I was feeling disappointed and about to turn around, a cold voice came over: "It's okay, let her in."

When I heard the sound, my scalp tightened, and before I turned around, I felt a whiff of sandalwood wafting behind me.

"Call me brother and I'll take you inside for a walk." Zhou Minghe stood beside me at some point and said in a low voice.

I finally had the chance to glare at him, but when I saw his handsome face with a smile, my anger rebounded and I felt ashamed.

Zhou Minghe acts as if nothing has happened now. If I argue with him, will Zhou Ci notice something?

"No...no thanks, I'll go somewhere else." After saying that, I walked away without looking back.

I was at a corner and subconsciously looked back at Zhou Minghe.

Zhou Minghe was still standing there, with a tall tree next to him. In the winter in the south, the trees were green. He was wearing a blue Mao suit, and he looked straight and slender.

A sense of time suddenly came over him. He seemed like a young master from a noble family in the old times, with a bookish temperament, the pride of plum blossoms, and the uprightness of pine and cypress.

I was so scared that I quickly averted my eyes, feeling guilty like a thief.

I walked to a bush and called Sister Wang.

Sister Wang on the other end asked me with a smile whether Zhou Ci and I had decided to date each other. She also said that she was stopping me from renting a house for my own good because she knew I was lucky.

I have to say that Sister Wang is a person who understands the expressions of others. Compared with her, I look much more immature.

"By the way, this afternoon, Wang Su came to the store and sat for a while. She asked about you and Zhou Ci." Sister Wang suddenly said to me.

"Why does she want to know this?" I was curious.

"I don't know either. She must have seen Zhou Ci yesterday and thought he looked rich and attractive. Is Wang Su trying to steal your man?" Sister Wang's words were direct and bold.

I was shocked and couldn't believe it: "That's impossible, doesn't Wang Su also have a rich boyfriend?"

"Alas, there are very few good men, just like beautiful women, they are extremely scarce. There are even fewer men like Mr. Zhou who are young, rich, and don't have a big belly. Which young and beautiful girl doesn't want to take the opportunity to make friends with him? Only you, Jingjing, you don't even know how lucky you are." Sister Wang was brainwashing me again, as if I could become successful if I could make friends with him.

But as far as I know, it is not good to be rich. Only a kind heart can carry things. If you are eager for quick success and are greedy, the end may not be good.

Zhou Ci is rich and treats me well, so I am indeed lucky.

But I don’t think that marrying up with him can change my destiny. I can only say that I can borrow his resources.

Only when your destiny is always in your own hands can you feel at ease.

"I don't think Wang Su would do such a thing." I believe in Wang Su. She is a rare woman. At least, she is loyal.

Sister Wang had no choice but to stop talking about her, then changed the subject and quietly asked, "Did your boyfriend drive a black Buick before?"

My breath hitched for a moment: "Yes, what's wrong?"

Sister Wang chuckled twice: "Just after five o'clock, a Buick parked outside our store and stayed for over an hour before leaving."

My heart ached.

"If he comes to ask you about me, just say I'm on vacation." I don't want to have any contact with Zou Yanzheng anymore. Keeping him until yesterday is the best ending for this relationship.

"Don't worry, I know what to do. Then do you want to tell me about your new boyfriend?" Sister Wang asked again.

"No." I stopped her: "Don't say anything."

Sister Wang responded and hung up the phone.

The sky gradually darkened. The sky in the mountains gets dark quickly. It was not even five o'clock and the surroundings were already pitch black.

"Jingjing...where are you? There are wild boars on the mountain here. Don't let them take you away." From a distance, I heard Zhou Ci looking for me.

I was about to respond loudly when suddenly, an arm came from behind and pulled me into the shadows nearby.

"Let your uncle look for it for a while." Zhou Minghe's evil voice came into his ears.

I looked back, and his handsome face was hazy in the shadows, but his aura was everywhere, enveloping me.
