Lin Yuxi didn't understand why she was having a good meal, as if she was suddenly picked up by the teacher in class, and she and Zhou Yanjing were forced to look at each other.
What are you looking at?
In front of a group of elders.
It was grandma who was making trouble unreasonably. She had no choice but to cooperate, bit her lower lip and turned her face.
But he still didn't want to look at Zhou Yanjing and only stared at the dark pattern on his tie.
Zhou Yanjing looked down at her, while Lin Yuxi stared at his chest with a sullen face, like a stubborn donkey, but didn't look at him.
The old lady beside her asked melancholy: "Xiao Xi, why don't you look into his eyes?"
Lin Yuxi sighed inwardly and raised her eyes helplessly, just in time to meet Zhou Yan Jing's lowered gaze.
Their eyes faced each other, at a very close distance, without any hindrance.
Zhou Yanjing looked at her quietly, with a rare serious look.
Her eyes are very beautiful. When she looks at people, they are like two moist and bright black gems. They are watery and quiet, giving people a sense of peace and quiet power over time.
When she smiles, she becomes very bright and radiant, as if the stars in the entire universe are hidden in her eyes.
Looking directly into each other's eyes is a very naked thing. The adhesion of the magnetic field and the pulling of the threads will breed infinite chemical reactions every second.
The surroundings became very quiet, all sounds disappeared, and all the quarrels and hostilities seemed to disappear at this moment.
Only the person in front of me was left.
Slowly, Zhou Yanjing felt some subtle fluctuations in his heart.
Next to them, Zhou Qizhen and Zhou Sheng'an were watching. Lin Yuxi was so embarrassed that her toes were scratching the ground.
She pursed her lips and counted the time in her mind, trying to survive the minute and complete the task.
When he counted to twenty-nine, Zhou Yanjing suddenly raised the corners of his lips and smiled.
Then he laughed harder and harder, and his breath lightly hit the tip of Lin Yuxi's nose.
"..." She was confused: "Why are you laughing?"
"If you want to laugh, just laugh." Zhou Yanjing couldn't explain why, but he just looked at her and couldn't help but want to laugh.
There was a smile in his eyes, spreading out like a soft and brisk ripple: "Maybe you look funny."
"..."
Lin Yuxi didn't want to pay attention to him, but because she was looking at each other, she could clearly feel the changes in his eyes.
Like the thread pulled by cheese, it is constantly sticking, affectionate and affectionate, making people feel gentle, as if they are deeply loved by him.
Looking at her with such eyes, her thick eyelashes couldn't help but tremble.
But she knew too well that the brown eyes in front of her were as deceptive as they looked at her affectionately.
She warned herself in her mind not to be fooled again.
He can be so affectionate even when looking at a dog.
Zhou Qizhen is a dignified chairman of a group, and he doesn't understand why he wants to watch his son and his ex-daughter-in-law look at each other so affectionately. If he tells it, people will think he has some strange hobby.
He cleared his throat and was just about to tell them to stop looking and sit down to eat when the old lady glared at him.
"Keep your voice down! Don't disturb them!"
Zhou Qizhen: "..."
It was undeniable that the old lady's trick had an immediate effect. Zhou Yanjing's heart was now completely gone, as soft and sticky as melted chocolate.
He hooked Lin Yuxi's waist and brought her into his arms.
Knowing that he was in a dead end, he wanted to put everything behind him at this moment.
I just want to kiss her.
Don't worry about anything else.
The old lady's trick was successful, she bent her eyes and snickered.
Zhou Yanjing hugged Lin Yuxi's slender waist, his Adam's apple rolled, and the tip of his nose brushed against her, wanting to kiss her.
When he lowered his head, Lin Yuxi turned his face away.
"One minute's up."
Zhou Yanjing's movements stopped there.
Lin Yuxi withdrew from his arms, and the gentle and smiling expression on his face disappeared with her movements.
The smile faded silently and slowly turned into indifference.
The old lady was quite disappointed that the marriage didn't happen, but looking at her grandson like that, it was obvious that she wanted to get married.
She was very happy and said happily: "Xiao Xi is shy, you go back to the room and kiss again."
Lin Yuxi sat down to eat and said nothing.
During the second half of the meal, Zhou Yanjing was in low spirits and didn't take a few bites of the food.
After dinner, Zhou Yanjing sat alone on a wicker chair on the terrace. The cold wind in the late winter blew on his deep and handsome face, which showed no expression at all.
The cigarette between his lips ignited spontaneously, and he remained motionless, looking at the night with half-squinted eyes.
There were footsteps approaching. Zhou Sheng'an put a bottle of wine and two glasses on the glass round table and sat down on the side.
He poured two glasses of wine and said, "If you don't go back to sleep, what are you thinking about here alone?"
Zhou Yanjing looked at the dark blue night in the distance, and after a while he slowly said: "Brother, sometimes I envy you."
"Why do you envy me?" Zhou Sheng'an asked.
"Since childhood, all the good things have been yours. Your parents' preferences are yours, their respect is yours, and everything in the Zhou family is yours."
Zhou Yanjing said: "The whole world is yours."
There was no surprise on Zhou Sheng'an's face, as if he had known it for a long time. He just said: "Yan Jing, you don't know how much I envy your freedom."
Zhou Yanjing's lips curled up in a self-deprecating arc, and he leaned lazily in the wicker chair: "Everything a person gets has a price secretly marked on it. You envy my freedom. I don't need to take the courses that heirs need to take." , don’t need to master the skills that you have been asked to master since you were a child, not because I have privilege, brother, it is because I have been deprived of this right.”
"So you went to the United States just to prove to your parents that you can achieve something successful without the Zhou family?"
"Not entirely." Zhou Yanjing took the cigarette out of his mouth, dusted off the ashes, and covered his eyes with his drooped eyelids.
"I want to prove that I'm no worse than you."
Zhou Sheng'an was silent for a moment: "Yan Jing, actually you don't need to prove anything."
"Yes." Zhou Yanjing smiled, with a bit of ambiguity that was difficult to interpret. He took a puff of cigarette and his tone became calmer.
"It's useless to prove it."
…
When Lin Yuxi took a bath towel after taking a bath, she found that the shelf in the bathroom where the towels were placed was empty.
The Zhou family's servants are all old people who have been employed for many years, and they should not make such stupid mistakes.
Even if I forgot to replace the new one today, I shouldn't have lost the spare one. There was still one here yesterday.
It was hard for her not to suspect that it was her grandma who deliberately left her without a bath towel, so she could only ask another person in the room to help her get it.
So now it has transitioned from staring at each other to letting her run away, right?
This old lady has really good intentions.
But she probably didn't know that Zhou Yanjing didn't even go back to sleep in this room, so it was useless to do this.
But even if there was no one in the room, it still took courage to run out naked. Lin Yuxi had to come out of the bathroom soaked in water and carefully go to the closet to get a spare towel.
She opened the cupboard door and raised her hand to get the towel. At this moment, the door was opened and Zhou Yanjing walked in with leisurely steps.
When his eyes met hers, his steps faltered.
Lin Yuxi's brain exploded at that moment and she was stunned.
She still kept raising her hands to pick up things, her wet black hair draped over her shoulders like a waterfall, and the wet water on her body was still flowing, sliding over her dazed face, her slender swan neck and thin collarbones, winding Winding over the peak, walking across the snow-white and flexible waist.
There is nothing about her that is not beautiful, including the full and smooth curves of her hips, and then her legs, which are well-proportioned and fleshy, are white and long.
After a few seconds - or shorter, Zhou Yanjing came back to his senses from that vivid scene.
He raised an eyebrow.
"I said the old lady insisted on chasing me up after accepting my wine. It turned out that she had prepared such a big gift for me."
Lin Yuxi hurriedly pulled out a piece of cloth from the closet, not knowing what it was, and wrapped it around her body to cover herself.
She pursed her lips and said, "There are no towels in the bathroom."
"I can see it." Zhou Yanjing was still standing there, admiring it openly without any intention of avoiding it. "The old lady is very calculating."
If he didn't go away, Lin Yuxi couldn't change her clothes in front of him. Her skin was hot and she was annoyed by his stare.
"Have you seen enough?"
"If you ask that, of course you haven't seen enough." Zhou Yanjing's eyes wandered over her body casually.
"What should I do? I'm a little reluctant to divorce you."
