"A fight?" I was indeed a little surprised. Did it get to this point? He needed to run to Zhou Yanli for comfort.
My mind was buzzing. Fortunately, I rushed over today without saying a word. Otherwise, according to the plot of the previous life, if Xiang Qing came a few more times, there was no guarantee that Zhou Yanli would not be soft-hearted.
The main thing is that Xiang Qing's former heroine aura makes me wary. Even if the situation in this life has changed, I will still be wary.
"Well, it seems to be for you." When Zhou Yanli said this, his eyes were observing my reaction, with some unknown emotions in his eyes.
It's normal to quarrel over me, because this shouldn't be the first time. Since the last time I went to Xiang Qing to get my phone, I met Jin Han once, and we haven't seen each other again until now.
It turned out that during the time we didn't meet, he was busy arguing with Xiang Qing. I was shocked and a little immorally happy.
Even though I have low morals, I really like hearing this kind of good news. I have thought before about whether Jin Han and Xiang Qing grew old together in the last life, and whether there were any quarrels or conflicts when they were together. ?
"Hahaha, right? Then my personal charm is quite big." I laughed a few times casually and replied.
"It is indeed very charming." Zhou Yanli did not refute me, but nodded in agreement. Suddenly his tone became serious, "What if I am also fascinated by you?"
The smile on my face stopped suddenly, and my pupils experienced an earthquake, "What do you mean?"
"I mean, I seem to have feelings for you." Zhou Yanli walked to the door, closed the door gently as he spoke, then turned to look at me and took off his glasses.
The lights in the office were very bright, so bright that I could clearly see the delicate texture of the skin on Zhou Yanli's face and his jet-black hair. The air conditioner was clearly turned on, but at this time I felt that my body temperature was rising.
I had always suspected who Zhou Yanli liked before, and I myself was one of the suspected candidates.
I never expected to face this problem from him today.
Does he really like me?
"Zhou Yanli, your question is hypothetical. I don't think it makes sense to answer it." I decided to clarify this question, so I deliberately refused to answer.
Zhou Yanli's eyes narrowed slightly. He took a few steps closer to me and lowered his voice, "It's not a hypothesis, so answer me now."
My whole body is stiff, isn’t it a hypothesis? !
That means the person he really likes is me? After my rebirth, I took Xiang Qing's place and became the person he liked?
I looked at Zhou Yanli in confusion and shock. It became difficult to breathe for a while. I didn't know how to face this problem. Even though I had made many assumptions in my mind before, they all turned into nothingness at this time.
We were allies in the last life! It's a comrade!
A feeling of friendship gone bad arose spontaneously. I opened my mouth, but I didn’t know what to say.
"Zhou Yanli, you are a good person..." At the critical moment, I remembered the jokes I had read online and handed out the good person card first.
He is indeed a good man. If anyone can go both ways with him, it will be an extremely happy journey, but I don’t have any liking for him between men and women. Occasionally I will be surprised by his face, but not The kind that can breed a feeling of liking.
I once fell in love with Jin Han at first sight. I understand the feeling of being attracted by sex, but obviously I don't have that feeling for Zhou Yanli.
Hearing my cheesy beginning, he immediately stopped what I was about to say, "Stop it, I already know the answer."
After he finished speaking, a trace of loneliness and disappointment flashed across his brows, but a smile I was familiar with still appeared on the corner of his lips, a gentle touch that was hard for others to see.
I suddenly felt a little stuffy in my heart, and a feeling of self-blame and sadness came out. He fell in love with Xiang Qing in the last life, but it didn't end well. I didn't expect that he likes me again now, and there will definitely be no good results between us.
I can't respond to his feelings, and he will still be like the last life, not getting everything he wants.
"But I still want to ask clearly." Suddenly Zhou Yanli spoke again, and then asked, "Since you don't have any feelings for me, why do you care so much about my contact with Xiang Qing?"
Did he take my previous obstruction as jealousy?
I was embarrassed, because it was purely my own overflowing sympathy, and I didn't want to see him fall in love again, to the point of turning against Jin Han. It wasn't jealousy at all.
"I just don't like Xiang Qing, and you are my friend, so I don't want you to have too much contact with her. Besides, you saw what happened just now. Xiang Qing is not that simple." I said seriously and in detail. He replied, "I don't want Zhou Yanli to misunderstand me again, nor do I want him to have separate contact with Xiang Qing next time."
The more I explained, the more lonely Zhou Yanli looked. I couldn't bear to see him look like this, so I was ready to leave after I finished speaking.
Zhou Yanli stopped me and said, "I understand. We will be friends from now on and I will not cross the line."
His words made me relieved, but I felt very embarrassed. I didn't answer him any more, so I left without looking back. It seemed that I needed to avoid suspicion next time so that both of us could spend time together. An embarrassing moment.
On the way back, I suddenly thought of a question. If Zhou Yanli likes someone, will he give up so easily after being rejected?
There was no falsehood in his answer just now, so the reason why he was so crazy in the last life was probably because Xiang Qing did not explicitly reject him, or gave him some hints after rejecting him, which caused him to remain Refuse to let go.
If that's really the case, then Xiang Qing is so disgusting.
——
Ever since Zhou Yanli confessed to me, I started to feel a little worried.
The most important thing is that he is worried that he is not free and easy enough. If he fails to do what he promised me, it will be very troublesome. I don't want to be a beauty trouble.
The mural is almost completed. Before Zhang Xiu, I spent every day in the exhibition hall. I did the same. It just happened that I could use my work to enrich myself and not think too much.
At the same time, Deng Jinger held a 100-day banquet for her two children and invited me to attend. I knew that Jin Han would also be there, but I still accepted the invitation with gifts.
I now regard Deng Jing'er's two babies as my own children, and I will not be absent from their 100-day banquet.
After arriving at the booked hotel, some other friends were already there, including Ouyang Tian and Li You. Among them was Li You's soon-to-be-engaged partner, Zhang Youqun.
"Meaning!" Suddenly, Deng Jing'er came over and pulled me away, her face seemed a little unhappy.
"What's wrong?" I asked doubtfully, and at the same time took out a pair of gold bracelets, which were a hundred-day gift for the two children.
