Early on Sunday morning, after washing up, Xu Zhiyi started to pack things.
She put the jade earrings, watches, bracelets, and several bottles of brand-name perfume into the box, planning to let Octavia put them at his place for dinner.
These things affected her study too much.
Not only do I have to spend time wearing them every day, but it’s also inconvenient to wash and rinse these pieces of jewelry. They’re so expensive, and I’ll feel distressed if I bump them.
Really distracting.
She only kept her engagement ring and necklace.
The bag is always in use.
It was nothing to keep those bottles of perfume in the dormitory. Even if Ding Siyue and the three of them were using them, she didn't mind.
She doesn't wear perfume much and is not interested in this stuff. They can use it if they want.
However, this week, the strong smell of perfume was always mixed in the dormitory, which really gave her a headache and affected her study, so she simply took it away to make the dormitory fresh.
Octavia came to pick them up on time.
Xu Zhiyi carried her things and went downstairs with the three of them.
Time can dilute everything. Seven days later, when I saw Octavia again, her social death syndrome was much better.
At least I could look at him.
Octavia was quite restrained. After the car started, the three people in the back seat would look at her when they weren't paying attention.
The rest of the time, concentrate on driving.
The restaurant is on the largest commercial street in Hangzhou, a very famous internet celebrity store.
Octavia booked a private room early, seated the four of them, and after asking about everyone's dietary preferences, ordered their own dishes.
They were not familiar with this place and couldn't order food.
During the meal, Octavia took good care of everyone, neither hurried nor slow, neither cold nor hot, and relaxed.
The meal was enjoyable.
After lunch, Octavia wanted to send them back, but Li Lu and Liu Yuanyuan didn't want to go back yet, so they made an appointment to go shopping and said there was no need to send them back, so he asked him to send Xu Zhiyi and Ding Siyue back first.
Before Ding Siyue could speak, Xu Zhiyi quickly took her arm and said that they were going shopping too and asked him to go back first and take her things back with him.
Octavia stared at her, frowned slightly, then looked at the three people and said slowly:
"To make you laugh, Zhiyi and I haven't seen each other for a week. I want to be alone with her for the rest of the day, so I won't lend her to you. Please three of you."
Hearing this, the three people had aunty smiles on their faces.
Ding Siyue immediately pulled out Xu Zhiyi's arm and pushed her towards Octavia, "Mr. Ming, you're welcome. People are yours. Give them back to you. Give them back to you."
After saying that, the three of them raised their eyebrows ambiguously, crowded together, and slipped away.
As soon as the person left, Mingrui put his arm around her shoulders, took her to his car without any explanation, fastened the passenger's seat belt for her, and drove straight to his residence.
All the way, expressionless.
He is angry.
This was the first time Xu Zhiyi had seen him like this.
A bit overwhelmed.
When they arrived at the community where he lived, Octavia opened the car door for her, watched her get out of the car, took out the things she brought with her from the trunk, put his arm around her shoulders, and walked toward the elevator.
When the elevator arrived, Octavia reached out to block the elevator door and motioned for her to go in.
She glanced at him uneasily and got on the elevator obediently.
The elevator door was closed, and the two stood in silence, one behind the other.
Xu Zhiyi stared at his tall back, unconsciously raised his right hand and bit his thumb.
Then, open the door and enter the house.
Standing at the entrance, he leaned over, took out a pair of new pink ladies' slippers from the shoe cabinet, and placed them at her feet.
"Put it on."
"oh."
The two of them put on their slippers and entered the living room. Mingrui sat her down on the sofa and sat opposite her, looking directly at her with a serious expression.
"Zhiyi, seven days have passed, why are you still avoiding me?"
Xu Zhiyi thought to himself, you are a male vixen and you will affect my study.
This must not be said.
She lowered her head and stared at the pink slippers.
It looks pretty good and fits just right.
A good while.
"Don't talk. Zhiyi, you have to communicate with me. In the future, when we live together, there will definitely be differences of one kind or another. If we don't communicate and misunderstandings arise, it is very likely that this bad relationship will form from then on. If the relationship gets along for a long time, it will develop into cold violence, which is very scary."
The word "cold violence" hit Xu Zhiyi's nerves.
She is very close to her sister-in-law Xu Hong. She often goes to her house and has seen how her sister-in-law and her uncle get along.
His younger uncle was very violent towards Xu Hong.
When the two of them quarreled, he stopped talking and ignored Xu Hong. He didn't care what she said or made trouble.
Xu Hong was often forced to hysterics.
She had gone through several divorces, but Xu Zhaocai and Zhang Aihua scolded her every time.
He scolded her for being unsatisfied. If she found a man who didn't smoke or drink, and only worked in a repair shop to make money, why would she want a divorce?
What's more, the son-in-law didn't hit her.
Only Xu Hong knew that she was being coldly beaten.
"Zhiyi, when you get married in the future, don't marry a man who treats you coldly and violently. He doesn't say anything when things happen, and his face is indifferent. It will really drive people crazy. Only you know the pain. When a couple is in trouble, , no matter how noisy or noisy, it is better than this kind of silence."
This is what Xu Hong often tells her.
Is her treatment of Octavia considered cold violence?
No, she didn't want that.
Xu Zhiyi raised his head, looked at Octavia, pursed his lips several times, and spoke awkwardly:
"It's either that I don't want to communicate with you, or that I'm a little embarrassed. I think you're right. We must communicate, we cannot be cold-blooded, and we must communicate well."
Mingrui put his hands on her shoulders, lowered his head, looked at her level, his eyes softened, and he whispered patiently: "Tell me why you have been avoiding me since the National Day."
Xu Zhiyi's face suddenly turned red, she blinked her long eyelashes, her eyes twinkled, and communicated truthfully:
"At first I was afraid that you would sleep with me, but now it's because if I'm with you all the time, I won't be able to calm down and study, and I won't be able to calm down at all.
I am not smart enough to take shortcuts. If I continue like this, I will fail the exam, fail the course, and fail to graduate.
If you fail to graduate, you will be scolded to death by my dad. For an outstanding person like you, you must have never been scolded since you were a child. You can’t imagine how terrible it is for my dad to scold Xiao An and me. "
After hearing what she said, Octavia's expression was indescribable.
He rarely does this.
In his mind, he would never have imagined these reasons.
What is this little woman thinking about all day long?
The brain circuit also surprised him.
They were just engaged. Sometimes, he would be impulsive, but he really wasn't ready to go to bed with her right away.
He still has this bit of self-control.
He has a bit of perfection obsession. Since the two of them knew each other on a blind date, according to tradition, their first night must be reserved for the wedding night, and he will not sleep with her before getting married.
She was hiding from him for such an unreasonable thing, which really left him speechless.
Wait a minute, what else is she going to say? It’s actually related to learning.
If he understood correctly, she thought he was affecting her study.
In other words, between studying and him, she chose studying without hesitation.
Realizing this, Mingrui's heart was instantly struck by billions of electric currents.
He has never been hurt like this.
Well, he needs to have a serious talk with his fiancée.
