Zhou Zhijing was in a trance, even delusional.
She seemed to hear a little concern from his gentle tone.
She tilted her head to look at him.
Chen Zongci's white shirt was so captivating, and the warm yellow light fell on him, making him look like a god descending from the sky to save her from fire and water.
He was not looking at her at the moment, his eyes were lowered, and he was replying to the message.
He didn't care about her answer, he just asked casually.
While Zhou Zhijing was lost in thought, Chen Zongci suddenly raised his eyes.
Their eyes met in the air, her eyes were caught, and his eyes wrapped around her like vines.
Zhou Zhijing's heart stopped for a second and he immediately turned his head.
She wanted to end today's study immediately. In panic, she let go of the cup before she could place it firmly.
The beautiful crystal cup fell to the ground, its body cracked, and the remaining juice stained the floor.
Chen Zongci didn't move, looking coldly at Zhou Zhijing's embarrassed look as he wiped the floor in a panic.
"Leave it alone, there is cleaning here." He reminded coldly.
Zhou Zhijing didn't seem to hear it and kept moving.
As his fingers grasped the shards of glass, his wrists were clasped.
She raised her head and met Chen Zongci's dark eyes.
The man was pulled up by him, and with a little more strength, Zhou Zhijing staggered forward two steps and was about to hit him.
Lin Xuqiu's voice sounded at the right time, "What are you doing?"
Zhou Zhijing's heart tightened and he struggled subconsciously.
Chen Zongci remained unmoved and had no intention of letting go. The protruding joints contained strength.
His hot palm burned her skin.
Lin Xuqiu's approaching footsteps stepped hard on Zhou Zhijing's heart, and she saw her nervous self in Chen Zongci's dark eyes.
Chen Zongci opened his thin lips lightly and said calmly: "Clean up the mess."
He loosened his fingers, and red traces belonging to him fell on Zhou Zhijing's thin white wrist.
Zhou Zhijing turned around, faced Lin Xuqiu's smile, and apologized quickly, "I just accidentally broke the cup."
Lin Xuqiu smiled indifferently, touched Zhou Zhijing's head and said, "Why are you acting like a little white rabbit? It's just a cup, why are you so scared?"
She looked past Zhou Zhijing and towards Chen Zongci, "Aren't you scary?"
Chen Zongci snorted, "Comfort your little white rabbit. I'll go out to smoke."
"Stay away, don't let me smell it."
Chen Zongci waved his hands lazily as he walked out.
Later, Lin Xuqiu called the cleaning lady to come in and clean up, then pulled Zhou Zhijing to change positions and continued teaching.
Chen Zongci went out and never came back.
Zhou Zhijing didn't see him again until he finished practicing the piano.
…
22:10 at night.
Zhou Zhijing sat in front of the convenience store window with oden in front of him.
Diagonally opposite the convenience store is Yilin Piano Store.
The music store is very large, with two floors, and full floor-to-ceiling windows, allowing people outside to see everything inside clearly.
The racks of pianos show their expensiveness.
Zhou Zhijing stuffed a meatball into her mouth and bit it down. The soup hidden inside exploded in her mouth, stimulating her taste buds and giving her a moment of pleasure.
She raised her head slightly.
Her 'exclusive practice room' is on the second floor, and there is a person standing in the large floor-to-ceiling window.
The man put his hands in his trouser pockets and didn't know where he was looking.
Zhou Zhijing crossed his arms and looked at him unscrupulously. But she didn't know that in the other person's field of vision, her appearance at the moment was very clear.
Even from a distance, he could see that she was looking at him.
Chen Zongci: "It sounds so ugly, but you say she has talent. You are misleading people."
Lin Xuqiu carefully wiped her cello, glanced at his back, and said, "She spent a lot of money to learn the piano. How can I bear to hit her directly? I am so kind."
Chen Zongci raised his eyebrows slightly and lowered his eyes, not looking away from the people in the convenience store, "Really?"
Lin Xuqiu wiped a finger print on the piano. No matter how hard he wiped it, he was still not satisfied and could not help but frown.
"She gave me fifty thousand, saying it was one month's tuition. Of course, that's not the point." She stood up, threw the wipes into the trash can, looked at her cello with a look of pity, and continued: "The point is , she gave Sang Wan a blue balloon, which is not expensive for more than 300,000 yuan, but she maxed out her card."
She found a pair of scissors, and with a bang, a string was cut by her, "Don't you find it interesting?"
What she did was reflected on the floor-to-ceiling windows.
Chen Zongci disagreed, "What aspect is interesting?"
Lin Xuqiu threw away the scissors, walked to his side, put her hands behind her back, and said, "I haven't seen such a positive girl for a long time. You can give her a chance."
Chen Zongci looked sideways and asked half-understanding, "What opportunity?"
Lin Xuqiu smiled slightly, raised her hand and patted his shoulder, "Go home."
She turned around, and the red skirt briefly touched the man's trouser legs, then parted ways again.
…
At eleven o'clock, Yilin Music Store closed.
Zhou Zhijing hadn't finished his oden yet when he saw the two people coming out of the store and getting into a Bentley.
She tied her hair up.
The purple bruise on the left side of the face was exposed. The color was a little darker than the beginning, and the concealer could not cover it.
She rested her feet on the luggage, which was inconspicuous but very comfortable.
It was a long night and she didn't know where to go. A blue balloon cost her no money to stay in a hotel.
She ate the remaining two skewers of sweet and spicy food in one go, filling her entire mouth.
The food is not healthy, but it is delicious.
At this time, a Bugatti stopped on the side of the road in the opposite direction.
It's not unfamiliar, she drove it just yesterday.
Immediately afterwards, an electronic female voice sounded: "Welcome."
The clerk on duty is a little girl. She suddenly changed her passive attitude and became full of energy and put on a standard smile.
Zhou Zhijing could only see the slender figure in the reflection of the glass window.
Chen Zongci passed through two shelves and only took a bottle of water and a lighter. When he checked out, he also picked up a box of condoms.
After settling the bill, Chen Zongci walked to the door, lit a cigarette, and stood there without leaving immediately.
The door was not far from Zhou Zhijing. The night wind blew in, accompanied by gray-white smoke, and fell into Zhou Zhijing's nose.
Gradually, her whole body was enveloped by the smell of tobacco.
You can't escape even if you have wings.
