The twenty-ninth day of the twelfth lunar month.
The day before New Year's Eve in the Dragon Kingdom.
Xu Zhou got up early in the morning and saw Liu Xuanxuan busy in the kitchen.
When the other party saw Xu Zhou getting up, his face turned slightly red, as if he remembered the charming scene last night.
Xu Zhou was a little amused when he saw this, and deliberately provoked:
"When is Senior Sister ready? Let's continue. I'm still waiting to be convinced."
Liu Xuanxuan's breath was stagnant and she snorted angrily.
"Just wait, I will convince you sooner or later."
The two of them were sitting in the restaurant, and their breakfast was a simple sandwich and milk and eggs made by Liu Xuanxuan.
Xu Zhou felt that this life was completely different from that in the laboratory, and for a moment he felt like he had returned to the married life in his previous life.
He was shocked when he thought of this!
Xu Zhou, Xu Zhou, you can’t indulge in such a life. If history repeats itself, it will be too late for you to regret it.
At least... at least I have to make sure that Liu Xuanxuan will not have any accidents because of him. At least I have to wait until the second set of armor is completed, so as to ensure safety before accepting the relationship between the two.
"If we can't celebrate the Chinese New Year this year, then the two of us will just make do with it together."
Liu Xuanxuan's words brought Xu Zhou back to his mind.
"Aren't you going to your uncle's house? I'm an orphan, and your parents just died young..."
"Come on, no matter how nice your relatives are, it's still a family. I don't feel as comfortable as staying here by myself."
Xu Zhou didn't speak, he didn't care.
A few years ago, when Mother Xia was still there, he would go back to the orphanage to be with everyone. Now that Mother Xia is gone, he really can't think of where he can go to celebrate the New Year.
"Since you are spending this year alone, why don't we just have a New Year's Eve dinner together, what do you think?"
After thinking for a while, Xu Zhou felt it made sense.
"Okay, let's spend time together."
"Okay, let's go buy some New Year's goods together later. We don't have anything at home, so we still need to have some atmosphere during the New Year."
"Well, it's up to you."
The two finalized their itinerary. After a quick breakfast, Xu Zhou was responsible for washing the dishes, while Liu Xuanxuan went back to the house and changed her clothes.
Then the two of them took a taxi to the nearest large shopping mall and started buying the needed supplies.
Along the way, the two of them bought what they needed to buy and spent what they needed to spend.
Xu Zhou can now achieve financial freedom just by relying on the income from Qinglong EDA, and there is no problem with this expense.
Finally, after Liu Xuanxuan confirmed that the purchase of ingredients was completed, the two of them stored the things and continued to visit other areas.
Just when Liu Xuanxuan was enjoying her shopping, a voice suddenly shouted in surprise.
"Liu Xuanxuan?"
The two were startled, then turned around and saw a woman in gorgeous clothes and heavy makeup walking over.
"It's really you, Liu Xuanxuan. I haven't seen you for four or five years after graduating from college. I didn't expect to see you here today. What a coincidence!"
Liu Xuanxuan looked puzzled, her brows furrowed in confusion.
"Who are you?"
"Me, when you were still living in the dormitory during your freshman and sophomore years, we were roommates. My name is Zhao Huaili!"
Liu Xuanxuan thought for a while and seemed to remember it, but the smile on her face became more unnatural.
Of course she remembered Zhao Huaili.
A top student who came out of the mountains was said to be a rare college student in their village.
Logically speaking, she should maintain respect for such people.
But she really couldn't stand the other party's distorted views.
Perhaps because of her low self-esteem, Zhao Huaili loved to compare herself with others when she was in college.
Compare test scores, compare the number of scholarships obtained, and then start comparing living materials and objects with others.
She once made a big fuss in the dormitory because she was jealous that a certain roommate's boyfriend was a well-known rich second generation. In the end, she actually poached him directly and found an excuse for herself.
It is said that everyone has the right to pursue beauty. I just expanded the scope of this right.
At that time, the outlook of everyone in the entire dormitory was shattered.
After Liu Xuanxuan moved out to live at home, she had no contact with her classmates in the dormitory.
Until after graduation.
However, people greeted them with smiles, and Liu Xuanxuan couldn't keep a cold face, so she had to force out a smile.
"It's you. Sorry, I didn't recognize it just now. Are you shopping here too?"
Zhao Huaili did not answer in a hurry, but looked at Xu Zhou aside.
With a thin but not weak figure, a delicate and confident smile, and a slightly handsome appearance, Zhao Huaili's eyes immediately brightened.
"Is this your boyfriend?"
Liu Xuanxuan's face immediately turned sour. Not to mention that this guy had a criminal record, she just ignored other people's topics during the conversation and talked about herself, which made people uncomfortable.
Xu Zhou twitched the corner of his mouth slightly coldly and ignored him.
Judging from his face, he still knows how to do it.
Seeing Xu Zhou's reaction, Liu Xuanxuan was very satisfied, and then she smiled and held Xu Zhou's arm in an intimate gesture:
"Yeah, let's go out and buy new year's goods together."
Zhao Huaili looked away, her expression a little unhappy.
Her desire to compare started to get in her way again.
Since leaving the mountains and coming to university, she has seen too much high-quality life.
The more colorful the life in the big city becomes, the more she hates this group of people who were born in the city.
Especially girls who are better looking than her and study better than her.
For example, the Liu Xuanxuan in front of her was the person she cared about most when she was in college.
She is beautiful, generous, has a good personality, and her grades are not bad. Her father is said to be a high-end talent in the country. Countless boys in school are courting her, but she has always remained single.
How could Liu Xuanxuan not be jealous of Liu Xuanxuan like this? She didn't even dare to compare.
She always felt that her fate was unfair. If she was also born in such an environment and family, she would definitely not be worse than her!
So since college, she has been comparing herself to others in everything, including studying, working, and boyfriend. She has to be better than the people around her.
If there is someone better than her, then she will try her best to get it.
For example, her current boyfriend is the ex-boyfriend of one of her best friends.
He is a senior talent engaged in scientific research in Hangzhou. In the end, due to her constant provocation, the two broke up smoothly and he took over directly!
She thinks that she is now free from that kind of low-level pursuit. She was ignorant in the past and only looked at money and other things. She doesn't like the rich second generation at all now.
What she wants is a man who has a certain status in society and can achieve certain achievements, not to mention how many scientific research talents who can achieve this level are really short of money?
Although she is a bit older and out of shape, she is talented!
I don’t know how much better than the pretty boy next to Liu Xuanxuan! Just a pretty boy with nothing but appearances, no substance and no talent!
Thinking of this, Zhao Huaili's sense of superiority was satisfied again, and the smile on her face became more and more conspicuous.
"After graduating from college, I kept in touch with everyone except you. Then I heard that you went abroad?"
Liu Xuanxuan smiled and nodded.
I kept urging in my heart that it was almost done. After all, we are not familiar with each other.
Is it time to leave after saying a few polite words?
At this time, Zhao Huaili saw her boyfriend walking out of the store after paying, and immediately stepped forward and held her boyfriend's hand:
"This is my boyfriend, Dong Hua! The high-end talents at the Hangcheng Dynamics Institute are the kind that the government spends a lot of money to bring in."
Liu Xuanxuan looked at the man in front of her who was not taller than herself and weighed at least twice as much as herself, and nodded politely in response.
A man has never seen a beauty of this level before, and his eyes almost went straight.
Zhao Huaili continued to introduce:
"Ahua, this is my college classmate Liu Xuanxuan, and next to her is his boyfriend."
Xu Zhou was a little helpless because of the familiarity of the woman in front of him, so he nodded and said hello.
"Senior, it's getting late, we still need to buy things."
When Liu Xuanxuan heard this, she knew that Xu Zhou didn't want to continue chatting, and she thought the same way, so she was ready to find an excuse to leave.
But who knew that Zhao Huaili said with a smile at this time:
"We finally met, why don't we go shopping together? Don't feel pressured, handsome guy. Although my boyfriend is a scientist, after all, in today's society, not everyone can be as young and promising as him!"
When Liu Xuanxuan heard this, she immediately wanted to laugh.
You are pretending to be in front of the Patriarch, saying that you are young and promising in front of a national first-level academician, are you afraid that you are not a fool?
Thinking of this, Liu Xuanxuan suddenly wanted to see what Zhao Huaili would look like when she knew the truth.
"Okay, let's go shopping together."
Liu Xuanxuan responded with a smile on her face.
Dong Hua almost drooled while watching this scene, and Zhao Huaili gritted her teeth secretly.
Xu Zhou was a little surprised. He could tell that Liu Xuanxuan was not willing to communicate with her. Why did he agree?
Seeing Xu Zhou's puzzled expression, Liu Xuanxuan stood up on tiptoes and came close to his ear and said fiercely:
"How can I bear it even after she said that? It doesn't matter if I feel a little wronged. I can't let you be wronged!"
Xu Zhou looked at Liu Xuanxuan speechlessly. Are you sure he was fighting for his own injustice?
But since Liu Xuanxuan had already agreed, he had no choice but to nod, and then showed a kind smile:
"Okay, let's go together then!"
