Lu Cheng, who stayed where he was, was stunned for a moment, then he remembered something and his face turned red.
"Grass!"
…
In the car, the two didn't speak for a long time. Finally, Liu Xuanxuan couldn't help but said, "What do you mean by living in a single room just now? I saw Lu Cheng in the rearview mirror as if he was very angry."
"This is easy to understand. Look at us normal people's teeth that are squeezed together. The gap between the teeth is so small. Isn't it just like living together? The gap between the teeth of that guy is so big. Isn't it equivalent to living in a single room?"
When Liu Xuanxuan heard the words, she imagined the gap between Lu Cheng's teeth and almost laughed.
But for the sake of her character as a cold lady, she still held back and just curled her lips.
"Senior sister, you are still the same as before. What's wrong with smiling? Don't be so nervous all the time. This way the teacher can feel more at ease."
However, after saying these words, Liu Xuanxuan's originally gentle face suddenly became tense, and her brows were also tightly knitted at this moment.
Xu Zhou reacted immediately when he saw this, cursing himself in his heart for making a mistake again.
"Don't mention my dad. If you really respect my dad, then why can't you do any of the things he told you?"
After speaking, Liu Xuanxuan turned to face the window, and the atmosphere in the car suddenly dropped to freezing point.
The driver in front looked at it and realized that this was a fool's errand.
So I quickly raised the partition between the front and rear rows and stayed out of the incident.
Xu Zhou smiled bitterly and said helplessly:
"Senior sister, don't you think we agreed not to mention this matter?"
"You've finally come back. Let me treat you to dinner. Just treat it as a blessing."
Seeing that Liu Xuan didn't speak, Xu Zhou took it as consent.
More than an hour had passed when we returned to the city from Shangjing Airport.
Xu Zhou chose a restaurant with a relatively young decoration. It was not very expensive, but the taste was good.
This was the place he had inquired about with the driver on the way to pick up someone.
After the two of them sat down, Liu Xuanxuan picked up her phone and paid no attention to Xu Zhou.
Xu Zhou was not upset when he saw that she was still angry.
He knew Liu Xuanxuan's temperament very well. She was sharp-tongued and a bit arrogant, but she was actually a little girl at heart.
In his early years, because he was an orphan, and his teacher Liu Guoxing had a project in which he also participated in assisting and learning, he lived in the teacher's house for a short period of time.
The two also became familiar with each other during that time.
Later, I accidentally learned that they were both taught by the same tutor when they were graduate students. Since Liu Xuanxuan was one year older than him, Xu Zhou used to call her senior.
"Senior sister, let me tell you something. I am now at the Dragon Academy."
Liu Xuanxuan raised her eyes, obviously still angry.
"You traveled from Hangzhou to Beijing. It seems you are no longer an assistant? Have you been promoted to director?"
"Well, almost. Anyway, it is indeed a good change. But how did you know, senior sister, that I came to Beijing, and why didn't you go back to Hangzhou?"
After Xu Zhou asked, he saw that Liu Xuanxuan seemed not to have heard, and immediately said helplessly:
"Okay, I won't ask this anymore. Then you have to tell me how you came back. Is your research institute willing to let you go?"
At this time, the food was served, and the two of them did not continue. After the waiter left, Liu Xuanxuan said:
"I couldn't come back after the ban, but my mentor at the institute was very kind to me. She is also a pacifist. With her help, I managed to get on the plane."
"Oh, by the way, the same goes for Lu Cheng, but...his mentor has always seemed to be quite hostile to our country. I don't know why he helped him this time."
Xu Zhou nodded without asking in detail.
It would be nice if people could come back. When he saw the talent retention plan today, he immediately thought of Liu Xuanxuan.
I am also planning to calculate the time difference and find a time to contact him and ask.
"By the way, you said you wanted to tell me something some time ago, but why haven't I contacted you for a long time?"
Her mood improved a lot after eating the delicacies from her hometown, and she was squinting in enjoyment now.
Xu Zhou's hand holding the vegetables paused.
At that time, he thought that he would marry the girl named Liu Yuxin if nothing unexpected happened, and he was already planning to contact Liu Xuanxuan to tell her about it.
But who would have thought that something like that would happen later.
Now when Liu Xuanxuan asked, she didn't know what to say.
But after thinking about it, Xu Zhou decided to tell everything truthfully.
"Well, something happened during this period, and it was a blessing in disguise that I entered the Dragon Science Academy."
Sure enough, Liu Xuanxuan stopped using her chopsticks as soon as she heard that it was a blessing in disguise.
"Why don't you tell me, what's wrong? What's going on?"
"Let me explain first. It's not that I didn't say anything. I couldn't contact the outside world at that time..."
Then Xu Zhou briefly explained the matter.
But Liu Xuanxuan's face turned dark when she was halfway through speaking.
This guy actually had a girlfriend without telling her!
Although they met on a blind date, they actually dated for a year!
The most important thing is that I’m getting engaged!
But after hearing this, her anger gradually turned to target Liu Yuxin.
Until she heard that Xu Zhou was being blackmailed and asked to use her father's house as compensation, she refused. Finally, when she was imprisoned and was about to be sentenced, she was so angry that she gritted her teeth.
"That's unreasonable! There is such a bitch! If she meets me, she will slap her in the face!"
Xu Zhou quickly comforted:
"The past is past."
Liu Xuanxuan's eyes were filled with hidden distress, but she said coldly:
"Hmph, you can't tell people right, but you still imitate others and go on a blind date, and you were deceived into a relationship for a year."
"But if you give me the house, I'll give it to you, as long as there's no entanglement later."
"Well, the house is still there."
"Huh? Then how did you get away with it later?"
"It's a long story. In short, I made some breakthroughs in research. Finally, the higher authorities noticed me and reopened the case for investigation, which finally proved my innocence."
Liu Xuanxuan looked at Xu Zhou and saw that he didn't seem to be comforting when he saw that he was serious.
"Where's that woman?"
"He is being held temporarily and will probably be sentenced later."
After Xu Zhou finished speaking, the scene suddenly turned cold.
This lasted for about ten minutes. Xu Zhou saw Liu Xuanxuan pounding rice with chopsticks and looking at him from the corner of her eye from time to time.
There was awkwardness written all over his body, and Xu Zhou was flustered as he hesitated to speak.
"Senior sister, you see, although we haven't seen each other for a long time, there is no need to be so open-minded. If anything happens, we can be honest with each other."
Liu Xuanxuan's face turned red and she spat.
"If you are shameless and shameless, who will be honest with you?"
After saying that, she glanced at Xu Zhou again and asked hesitantly:
"Since you said that, I have two questions for you."
Xu Zhou nodded while picking up food for her:
"Okay, you ask."
"It's just how far the relationship between you and that bitch has progressed...is there anything like that?"
Xu Zhou didn't even raise his eyes and said casually:
"Which step? What and what? Can you please stop playing riddles?"
Liu Xuanxuan was a little embarrassed and angry. She was asked to ask such a naked question a second time?
And shouldn’t you take the initiative to explain this kind of thing yourself?
They have been dating for a year, and Liu Xuanxuan doesn't care much about this matter anymore.
"That's it!"
"Which one?"
Snapped! Liu Xuanxuan slammed the table angrily.
"I count to three! One!"
"two!"
