reverse strategy

After hearing Jiang Xingyu's words, Catherine was very happy to meet a new friend.

"Is it the one who often comes to school to play with you? Okay, I can go. Chinese hot pot is also great, I just want to try a different taste." Catherine agreed very happily.

"But..." Jiang Xingyu stopped talking.

"Cherles?" Catherine had just put her schoolbag on her shoulders, when she looked up and saw Jiang Xingyu's expression, she stared at him in surprise. "Your face is so red."

"Ah, no. I..." Jiang Xingyu subconsciously covered his cheeks, avoiding his eyes in a panic. "I don't."

"Hmm~ Interesting. Hahahaha~~" Catherine stared at him with interest while resting her chin on one hand. "I haven't seen you like this before, Cherles, who is just in love, so cute."

"No! Don't laugh, don't make fun of me!" Jiang Xingyu wished he could find a crack in the ground, his ears were burning like a cat with fur.

"Understood. I'll call Jessica. Don't worry." Catherine covered her mouth to cover her smile, her eyes curled into crescents. "What are you afraid of, we will support you. If you like it, go after it!"

"My girlfriend told my roommate that I wanted to try Chinese hot pot no matter what. I'm really sorry to cause you trouble."

When Zhou Xing received Jiang Xingyu's message, the corners of his mouth gradually rose, his excitement was beyond words, and he almost turned around in circles with joy.He took a sip of Americano coffee, and the bitter taste was comparable to happy water from Fat House.He typed a line in the dialogue column: You are willing to reward me, I am so happy.

"See you at 3 p.m. on Saturday, and we'll go grocery shopping first."

Zhou Xing thought for a while, and replied: I prepared the food in advance, and we will handle it together when we get home.In the afternoon, I will go directly to pick you up at the gate of the school.

Soon, there was a "good" word back.

"Yeah!" Zhou Xing clenched his hands into fists, ran to the bathroom excitedly, and looked around in the mirror.The beard is a little long again.Sideburns... very good.

In the year when Jiang Xingyu was lost, Zhou Xing dyed his original brown Japanese hairstyle back to natural black, and trimmed it into a neat, short-inch hair less than two fingers long.He ditched the gold-rimmed glasses for natural contact lenses with a touch of gray color contact lenses.The current him looks completely different from his previous life in terms of overall temperament and aura.Capable, calm, gentle, mature, and occasionally a little bit cold.To say that coldness is a compliment is actually a bit sad.

But at this moment, his sense of "mourning" was neutralized by the joy of meeting Jiang Xingyu again, leaving only the mysterious gentleness and tolerance, which was kind of kind.

Zhou Xing touched the stubble on his chin, picked up the razor and shaved them off carefully, until he finally looked refreshed in the mirror.

"Zhou Zhou's beard always grows fast!"

"Zhou Zhou's short hair looks really good!"

"Zhou Zhou, look at me!"

Those words floated up from the bottom of his heart like a string of bubbles, making his heart skip a beat suddenly.This look... If you change the contact lenses to transparent or caramel, it will be Bai Yueguang Jiang Xingyu's favorite look!

Ah Xing... Ah Xing!Zhou Xing's heart trembled with pain.

He didn't know if he could see the original Jiang Xingyu again, but he had made up his mind to protect Jiang Xingyu in this life.

On Saturday afternoon, Zhou Xing finally saw Jiang Xingyu's legendary girlfriend at the school gate.

Jiang Xingyu was wearing a white hooded sweater, with a tuft of bangs twisted into a twist on his forehead, and a few tufts of hair twisted into a twist at the back, tied together with a small pull on the top of his head, looking like a cool cover. "Zhou Xing, this is my girlfriend Catherine, Chinese-Thai." He pointed to the tall girl beside him, introduced him a little stiffly, then turned to another girl of medium height, politely said: "Then this is Jessica , Catherine's roommate. Two beauties, and this handsome guy is my friend Zhou Xing."

Zhou Xing smiled and put on a professional official's friendly smile, and was about to say "Hello", when suddenly two girls held his hands excitedly, one on the left and the other on the right.

"Wow~ I've heard that Cherles' friends are male gods outside of school. Before, we thought they were exaggerating. When I saw them today, they really lived up to their reputation." Jessica was obviously more enthusiastic, her eyes were a little bright.

"Hmm~ It's quite pleasing to walk with Cherles." Catherine watched Zhou Xing with great interest and meaningfully, while secretly sizing up Jiang Xingyu.

"Ahaha, no way, you guys are overrated." Zhou Xing scratched his head in embarrassment, while thinking that the two girls' arms and wrists are obviously closer, and at the same time thinking that Catherine looks different from the image of Tie T in his impression It's so big, I almost didn't recognize it.

At this time, Catherine had honey-colored skin that had been specially tanned, and her exquisite figure was very proud.A head of bleached and dyed flaxen hair is all braided into small braids, and then tied into a bun behind the head with a few chopstick-like hairpins.

Her face is painted with exquisite European and American makeup, her eyelashes are curled and curled up, her nude color eyeshadow is paired with thick black eyeliner and smoky rose lipstick, and the high-gloss shadow powder applied to the extreme is completely eye-catching. Without Asian attributes, she is clearly a South American hot girl.She wore a cool black and white color-blocking baseball jacket, which matched the color scheme of the sweater Jiang Xingyu was wearing, but the styles of the two were really different, and they didn't have the sense of tacit understanding as a couple.

Zhou Xing swallowed silently, put his heart into his stomach, raised a soft smile, opened the rear door, and made a "please" gesture to the two girls.The two girls happily boarded the car.Seeing the situation, Jiang Xingyu could only silently open the co-pilot and sit on it.

Zhou Xing smiled slightly, sat back in the driver's seat and said to the two girls in the back seat: "There is lemon tea in the net bag behind the front seat. I put it down before I came. It tastes good. I recommend everyone to try it." The storage box, took out another one and handed it to Jiang Xingyu, looking at him tenderly: "Hey, it's for Ah Xing."

Jiang Xingyu didn't dare to look directly into Zhou Xing's eyes, he glanced hastily and reached out to pick up the drink, his hand shook, and his fingertips touched Zhou Xing's slender and strong knuckles again.

"Thank you." He grabbed the drink and retracted his hand like an electric shock, quickly unscrewed the lid, and took a sip with his head up.

cute.Zhou Xing secretly raised the corners of his mouth, started the car, and chatted enthusiastically with the girls.Jiang Xingyu hardly spoke, but Zhou Xing knew that he had been secretly watching him.However, once Zhou Xing noticed his gaze, he pretended to be nonchalant and quickly looked away.

Zhou Xing lives near the suburbs, which is relatively quiet.

The two-story detached house has a flat roof with railings besides the attic on the roof.

The house looks a bit old, but the exterior is well maintained.

"The rent should be quite expensive, right?" Catherine looked around and sighed after Zhou Xing drove the car into the yard.

"Fortunately, this place is relatively remote, and the house has been hung up for a long time and no one has rented it. So when I contacted him, he was very happy, and the price he gave was very good. Hey, even the car was rented to me as a bonus."

"The landlord is so generous, I don't know what to do." Jessica also sighed.

"I don't know what he does, but he must be an astronomy enthusiast." Jiang Xingyu finally spoke to join the discussion. .

Zhou Xing's eyes widened, and he looked sideways at him: "How does Ah Xing know?"

"The drawing board and astronomical telescope on the roof. When we just walked down the road, I saw it from a distance." Jiang Xingyu's eyes shone with excitement. "I love it here, it's really nice."

In fact, the main test of hot pot cuisine is the freshness of the ingredients, and more importantly, the deliciousness of the cut and seasoning.

To their surprise, Zhou Xing prepared mandarin duck soup base, half of which was Thai-style Tom Yum Kung and the other half was Cantonese-style clear soup.

Jiang Xingyu picked up the clear soup base with his chopsticks, and his eyes widened: "There are Chinese yam wolfberry and Polygonatum ginseng? There is also a red date... Are you also from Eastern Guangdong?!"

"Let's count as half." Zhou Xing smiled a little embarrassedly, "I can only buy these here. I found a lot of Chinese supermarkets to get them."

"The soup base of Tom Yum Kung is also very authentic!" Catherine admired, "There are such fresh shrimp and fish fillets...Mr. Zhou spent a lot of money."

"No way. As long as everyone eats happily." Zhou Xing took out a few cans from the refrigerator and served them to the table. "Hot pot, of course it goes best with beer. Come on, let's get started!"

They were all young people, eating and drinking happily, and soon everyone became acquainted.

The beer is specially selected by Zhou Xing. The malt flavor is fresh and strong. More importantly, the strength is strong enough. Drink it after chilling. It is refreshing, fresh and foamy, and the taste is quite good.

Catherine drank hot pot for two or three listens, and listened to Jessica's complaints with a satisfied expression; Jessica drank for a while, and began to speak a little tongue, complaining that their quantum mechanics teacher's thinking was too divergent, and she couldn't understand Barabara at all.. ....

Jiang Xingyu was relatively silent. There were two empty cans by his feet and one in front of him, and he would grab a sip from time to time.

Zhou Xing leaned closer to Jiang Xingyu's ear and whispered, "Why are you so busy drinking by yourself instead of adding food to your girlfriend?"

Jiang Xingyu looked up at him, with a hint of fascination in his eyes, "Girlfriend...she has a girlfriend..."

"Huh? You mean..."

Catherine leaned over her head and put her arm on Jiang Xingyu's shoulder, but her head went from behind him to Zhou Xing, and said, "He's right. I already have a girlfriend; so he can have a boyfriend too! The two of us...the Peach Blossom Alliance, from today, can...officially, announce its dissolution!"

"Who said they were disbanding?!" Jiang Xingyu's cheeks were flushed.

"I said...Jiang Xingyu, please be brave..."

Before Catherine finished speaking, Jessica's body softened, and she leaned her head on Catherine's shoulder, fainted from drunkenness.

"Jessica?! Wake up! Oh, it's over, how can I go back here?" She frowned anxiously.

Zhou Xing looked at the wall clock and said, "It's too late, and it's not safe to send you back at this time. If you don't mind, how about you two girls staying in the guest room for one night?"

"Okay." Catherine stood up staggeringly, supported Jessica and blinked at Zhou Xing: "I have to take care of her. Please, help take care of Cherles."

"That's for sure." Zhou Xing understood, and responded with a smile, his expression still calm and introverted.

He first took Catherine and Jessica to the guest room on the first floor to resettle, and then came back to see Jiang Xingyu. "Have you eaten yet?" Zhou Xing asked with a smile, "You also drank a lot, so it doesn't matter?"

Jiang Xingyu had already picked up the jars on the ground and piled them together, and was standing in front of the table staring at them in a daze. "Yes. But, do you have one more guest room?" He turned around and asked Zhou Xing.

"An extra guest room?" Zhou Xing was stunned for a second, and said with a little embarrassment: "There is an extra room, but I made it a study, so I can't sleep... The two of us squeezed together One night, okay?"
