like love

Zhou Weixia hid in the room, and heard another fierce quarrel downstairs.He was sitting on the edge of the sofa, his ankle hurting like hell, all his mind was on those vague quarrels, but he didn't dare to listen carefully.

Ye Xingzhi didn't come upstairs, and he didn't know when he would leave.The villa was completely quiet when the pot of steaming black tea in front of Zhou Weixia gradually cooled down.

The Shen family's villa is located on a peninsula on the outskirts of City B, across the lake from the city's brightly lit and bustling commercial district.The room on the second floor has a good view, Zhou Weixia can see the traffic on the viaduct leading to the city from the peninsula.

Probably one of them was carrying Ye Xingzhi towards the opposite bank far away from him.

He stared at the light spots speeding on the road until his eyes were a little sore.The rest of the Shen family didn't come up to disturb him, not even Shen Yunman.

Zhou Weixia watched the lights of those office buildings go out gradually in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, and the traffic flow gradually thinned out.Not long after, the sky turned slightly red, and he fell into the sofa as if sleepy, and fell into a deep sleep.

When I woke up again, the wall clock downstairs had just struck seven.

The ankle was already swollen, and the swelling was obvious.Zhou Weixia's back was sore, like an old puppet that had been thrown in the warehouse for many years, the creaking sound of the joints could be heard every time he moved.

He stumbled to the door when the servant knocked on the door and invited him downstairs to have breakfast.

The atmosphere of the meal was strange and depressing, Zhou Yun didn't show up, the father and daughter of the Shen family didn't seem to have slept well, and they pulled themselves together again.Shen Yunman reapplied her makeup, sat beside him and poured him a glass of milk, as if hesitating to speak.

Zhou Weixia was just eating a sandwich with his head down, his throat was sore that he was about to smoke, he took a few mouthfuls without taste, then put down his food, said softly that he was full, got up and planned to leave.

"Weixia." Shen Zhang called him, still in the usual tone of an elder, "I remember you applied for an exchange in the UK before."

"...Yes." Zhou Weixia sat down again and said softly.

"Do you want to continue studying there after graduation?" Shen Zhang stirred the coffee in front of him and said kindly, "I have some friends who can help. After you exchange, you can also continue to stay there for an internship to get used to it."

Shen Yunman should have known it in advance, but he couldn't help but interrupt, "Dad!"

Zhou Weixia didn't realize what Shen Zhang was talking about at all, and stayed silent for a while on the chair.

Shen Zhang was afraid that he would not agree, so he added, "I asked your father, and I have no opinion. The courses at the school... I heard that there are not many courses for your seniors? I will have dinner with your dean some other day. How to coordinate."

Zhou Weixia finally understood what he meant, and smiled palely, "You mean... I don't have to come back, right?"

Shen Yunman touched his shoulder distressedly, then turned his head and said, "Dad, do you have to do this?! It's obvious that the surname Ye came close to Wei Xia on purpose, so why should you—"

"Don't interrupt." Shen Zhang raised his voice and reprimanded, "One slap can't make a sound."

The blood on Zhou Weixia's lips was wiped away by these words, his shoulders shrank unconsciously, and he said with difficulty, "My father...do you know?"

At first, Shen Zhang thought he was talking about studying abroad, but after glancing at the boy's evasive expression, he quickly realized what he was asking, and said calmly, "I didn't tell him."

He put the clean coffee cup back on the table, and continued, "I don't care too much about your children's fights."

Shen Zhang stared at Zhou Weixia and said, "You have always been a sensible child."

Zhou Weixia turned his gaze away.

Seeing that he did not express any objection, Shen Zhang was a little relieved.But the conversation before Ye Xingzhi was finally sent away last night flashed through his mind again, and he felt a little uneasy again, "Don't go back to school these days, stay at home first."

After he finished speaking, he stood up and picked up the suit jacket lying beside him, "The exam is over, we will send you to England right away."

When the door slammed heavily, Shen Yunman sighed and asked someone to find two ice packs.She helped Zhou Weixia compress her ankle, and said in a low voice, "Go, it's fine if you go."

She held Bing's hand gently on the back of Zhou Weixia's hand, shedding a few tears, "Stay away from that evil."

Zhou Weixia just swallowed the bitter body fluid in his mouth, and felt pain in his chest and heart.He raised his hand and gently wiped his sister's tears, "Don't cry."

Shen Yunman's tears fell even harder, "The one surnamed Ye talked about your matter yesterday...my mother was so angry that her heart ached, and she just heard from the doctor that she got better."

Zhou Weixia buried his head deeper.Zhou Yun loves him very much, but she is also very rigid. After growing up, both he and Shen Yunman tried to avoid mentioning sexuality in front of her.

In fact, Zhou Weixia has thought about it many times, how to reveal his sexuality with his aunt and father, and even rehearsed the worst scenario ten thousand times in his mind.

In those situations, he was always thinking about how to hide Ye Xingzhi.

But life's jokes far exceeded his imagination. The person he wanted to hide the most pulled away all the coverings on him and pushed him into the most embarrassing situation.

There is a week or two of free time before the final exam of University B, which is reserved for students to review.Usually, at this time, Ye Xingzhi is the group of people who go to the library the most.But these days, he has not shown up at school.

Facts have proved that Shen Zhang really intends to use thunderous means, and Ye Xingzhi's little resistance can almost be called a mantis' arm.He was locked up by Shen Zhang in an apartment that he bought for him in the early years, and all his ID cards and mobile phones were confiscated, and he was always followed when he went to school for exams.

Those people watched him very closely, and they didn't even give him time to find a classmate to ask a few questions.

However, Shen Zhang didn't intend to make the relationship between himself and his son too tense. Two days after the final exam, he came to the apartment to see him, and returned his wallet and mobile phone by the way.

For the past two weeks, Ye Xingzhi was anxious, and when he got the phone, he hurriedly turned it on, regardless of Shen Zhang's presence.

There are a lot of text messages and missed reminders on his mobile phone, but none of them are related to Zhou Weixia.Ye Xingzhi searched several times without giving up, and dialed the phone.

The man sat on the big sofa in the middle in a gentle manner, calm and relaxed, and didn't make a sound to stop him.

Sure enough, the phone was not connected, and the cold female voice repeated "The number you dialed has been turned off" over and over again, Ye Xingzhi's eyes dimmed, he hesitated for a few seconds with his eyes down, and then went to send a text message.

Shen Zhang looked coldly at him for a long time in vain, and said, "You don't need to look for him anymore. He has already gone to England a few days ago."

Ye Xingzhi looked up at him suddenly, "What did you say?"

"Stop messing around." Shen Zhang's voice also became severe, "What are the two men talking about?" He deliberately brought out the fact that Ye Xingzhi avoided, and stabbed at the most painful part of him, "If your mother knew you were hanging out with that crazy woman's family—"

Ye Xingzhi's typing hands froze.

Shen Zhang looked at his reaction with satisfaction, and knew the truth of giving a sweet date after a slap, and continued, "You still want to learn painting, and my father will not object. If you want to visit your grandpa, you can... ...but you must go the right way in the future."

"Stop doing these nonsense things again. Take over the company in two years, start a family and start a business."

Ye Xingzhi seemed to be listening, but he didn't seem to be listening.He stood up, walked slowly towards the door, opened the door, and the few people who had been staring at him had already left.

He can go anywhere now, but no one is waiting for him.
