You didn’t accept my confession, why are you crying because I changed my mind? Chapter 70

Chapter 70: Ask Chu Yuwei to Accompany to the Hotel

On a bench in the park at the city center, Jiang Zhou was staring blankly at the darkening sky.

Suddenly, his phone chid with a QQ notification.

At that mont, Feng Siruo’s avatar kept flickering.

“I’m ho,” she ssaged.

Jiang Zhou opened the chat: “Did you send that as soon as you got ho?”

Feng Siruo replied, “I changed clothes before sending.”

“Next ti, send it as soon as you step in, got it?”

“Got it.”

Jiang Zhou tapped on the screen: “What did you do before coming ho?”

Feng Siruo responded instantly: “I went to see grandpa, grandma, and my other grandparents.”

“How are they doing?”

“Very well.”

“Did you say hi for ?”

Feng Siruo sent a bomb emoji.

There was no way she’d introduce him to her grandparents. Just imagining the scene felt awkward. That was sothing for way down the road.

Jiang Zhou sat up on the bench. “What are your plans for the National Day holiday?”

“Sleep, eat, watch TV.”

“No way, that’s too boring. You have to go for a walk every day.”

“I’m scared to go alone.”

“Then bring Feng Yiyi. She eats so many sweets every day, she needs so exercise too.”

Feng Siruo imdiately sent a panicked emoji: “How do you know?”

Jiang Zhou was puzzled: “Know what?”

“Her na, and that she eats sweets.”

At this, Jiang Zhou slightly lifted his head and glanced at the rising moon.

After driving all day, he was ntally exhausted. Plus, he hadn’t eaten enough or rested after getting ho.

In his daze, he even thought he was living in a past life.

“Don’t ask what kids shouldn’t ask.”

“Oh, then I’ll ask after my birthday.”

They chatted for a while, and Jiang Zhou started trying to trick her into calling him “husband.”

After ten minutes of pulling and tugging, he failed.

Feng Siruo seed silly but was actually very smart.

After all, social anxiety sufferers were good at reading others’ intentions.

She could easily see what Jiang Zhou was really up to.

Even when he used homophones to trick her, she saw right through it.

So he gave up after a few more lines and let her go take a shower.

After the chat ended, night had fully fallen.

The moon was clear in the sky, accompanied by faint stars.

Suddenly, footsteps ca from the street corner.

Chu Yuwei appeared, her hair in braids and wearing a camisole dress.

As she approached the park, Jiang Zhou suddenly stood up and disguised his voice, shouting, “Whose little girl is this? Co keep uncle company!”

Chu Yuwei was startled and only after a mont recognized his face. “You scared !”

“Ah, so small everywhere, and so timid too.”

“Who told you to pop out suddenly!”

“You walk with your head up high. What if you step on ?”

Chu Yuwei blushed instantly. “It’s already dark. What are you doing sitting here?”

Jiang Zhou sighed softly. “Waiting for you. I don’t dare go ho without you.”

“You… specifically ca out to et ?”

“No, I’m waiting for you to co out and bring ho.”

“Don’t get it…”

Jiang Zhou took a deep breath. “That Toyota Corolla I bought was a secret. Now my parents know because your dad must have told them.”

Chu Yuwei raised her face. “You snuck out secretly?”

Jiang Zhou sat back down on the bench. “I plan to hide outside for a couple of days, not go ho. You co with to the hotel.”

“No no no… no way!”

“Why not?”

Chu Yuwei’s face was red as fire. “That’s a place for couples! No, for married couples!”

Jiang Zhou looked forlorn. “Then I guess I’ll invite soone else.”

“No, you can’t go with anyone else either!”

“I’m really afraid of being alone. I have to have soone with .” Jiang Zhou took out his phone. “What’s that person’s na? Qian Rongrong. I’ll ask if she wants to co.”

Chu Yuwei quickly snatched his phone away. “How about… you co ho with instead.”

“Go ho with you? Won’t your parents kill ? Uncle Chu has a gun!”

“You can sleep in my dad’s study. I’ll sneak you in.”

Then sneak out at midnight.

Open Chu Yuwei’s door under the dark moonlight?

Whoa, sounds kinda thrilling!

But he didn’t have the guts yet.

He was afraid Chu Xiong would blow his head off with one shot.

Jiang Zhou refused, “Anyway, I’m set on going to the hotel. Think about it.”

Chu Yuwei lowered her head, her cheeks flushed. “I… don’t have my ID.”

“No problem. There’s a ‘Yujian Hotel’ down the street, owned by Sha Yujie’s family. No ID needed.”

“I…”

At this mont, Chu Yuwei’s heart was in turmoil.

Should she go or not?

If caught, it would be over.

Even if not caught, going in smoothly would be a disaster.

But if she didn’t go, she felt it would be the end of her relationship with Jiang Zhou.

She was still a young girl, never experienced anything like this.

“Jiang Zhou, do we really have to go?”

“I did like you before, so you don’t have to wait in line to go with . Others have to wait their turn. Qian Rongrong is first in line now.”

Chu Yuwei bit her lip. “Has she already agreed?”

Jiang Zhou didn’t answer. “Anyway, if you agree, you can cut the line.”

“Jiang Zhou, I’m a little scared.” Chu Yuwei was so conflicted she almost cried.

Seeing this, Jiang Zhou felt a bit bad.

He only decided to tease her last minute.

He didn’t expect Chu Yuwei to take it seriously.

“Alright, I’m just teasing you. Actually, you just need to co ho with .”

“No way. At your place is even worse. If found out, it’d be over.”

Jiang Zhou got flustered. “I’m not sneaking you ho. It’s a perfectly open visit.”

When he finished, Chu Yuwei looked up with a confused expression.

“Think about it. If I bring you ho, it ans guests are at my place. Then they won’t keep pestering about secretly buying a car, right?”

Chu Yuwei paused. “That might be possible.”

Jiang Zhou stood up and patted himself twice. “Co on, my bodyguard.”

At Jiayuan Residential Community, the Jiang family residence…

Jiang Zhou quietly opened the door and peeked inside.

Yuan Youqin was holding Han Rou’s hand as they watched TV on the sofa, laughing like mother and daughter.

anwhile, Jiang Hongshan was pacing in the living room with a feather duster.

“You brat, you ran off before explaining things. Wait till I get my hands on you!”

Han Rou looked worried. “Brother’s really a good guy. He just didn’t say anything because he didn’t want you to worry.”

Jiang Hongshan stopped pacing. “Rourou, don’t plead for him!”

“But he already bought the car, it can’t be returned now.”

“The key isn’t whether he bought the car. He just got his license a month ago and already dared to drive on the highway with two classmates. What if sothing happens?”

Han Rou thought for a mont, “My brother’s driving is really steady.”

“That doesn’t matter. This kid’s getting out of control. If we don’t warn him, he’ll dare to do anything.”

Just then, Jiang Zhou pushed the door open. “I’m back!”

“You little brat, you still dare co back?”

“That’s right, I’m back, swaggering right back!”

Jiang Hongshan, still holding the feather duster, stopped mid-swing and saw Chu Yuwei standing behind Jiang Zhou.

At this mont, Chu Yuwei was lowering her head, her cheeks flushed red.

Although he had already co once with his father last ti, this ti was truly her first visit alone.

“Uncle Jiang, Aunt Jiang, hello.”

Hearing this, the elderly couple imdiately exchanged glances.

Goodness, our son is up to his old tricks again?

Knowing he would get scolded, he kept dragging people ho.

Before, it was his cousin he brought along; later he chose a stranger.

This ti, he directly brought back the daughter from the Chu family.

Sa recipe, sa flavor.

However, since Chu Yuwei had co, they really couldn’t say much.

Jiang Zhou was grown up now and couldn’t be treated like a child anymore, especially in front of his female classmate.

Treating him like a kid would hurt his pride.

“Yuwei is here. Co, co, co, sit down.”

“Thank you, Uncle.” Chu Yuwei sat on the sofa, next to Han Rou’s left side.

Jiang Zhou felt it was fine, so he squeezed in between the two of them.

“That’s right, a family should be harmonious and joyful.

“Always fighting and killing, how boring! Co on, let’s watch TV together.”

As Jiang Zhou spoke, he grabbed the remote and switched channels randomly.

Coincidentally, the TV was playing Chinese Paladin 3.

The most ironic part was, in this episode, Long Kui and Xue Jian were bickering in a broken temple.

Long Kui: “I warn you, don’t try to make a move on him, or I won’t let you off.”

Xue Jian: “With you?”

Long Kui: “He and I are the closest in the world, no one compares. Don’t even think of coming between us.”

Xue Jian: “Funny, you’re just so wild girl who just appeared today, throwing yourself at him? Who do you think you are?”

Watching this, the three of them exchanged a very tacit glance.

What kind of bizarre coincidence is this ridiculous plot?

Jiang Zhou quickly changed the channel and stopped at the news broadcast.

Seeing this scene, the elderly couple suddenly felt touched.

In this era, families were only allowed to have one child.

Jiang Zhou was their first child, and a boy. As such, they lost the chance to have a daughter.

Seeing these three children now, the couple felt warm in their hearts.

Having both a son and a daughter was the wish of many parents, so the elderly couple teared up and forgot to scold Jiang Zhou.

—

The next day at noon…

At Chen Wanying’s strong insistence, Chu Xiong held a banquet at Jin Ding Xuan and invited the four mbers of the Jiang family to eat together.

Jiang Zhou drove, bringing his parents and Han Rou to the hotel.

At this ti, the Chu family of three had already been waiting inside.

What followed was a round of polite conversation. Asking about work, chatting about past mories.

Throughout this, Chen Wanying kept observing Jiang Zhou closely.

She refused to believe Jiang Zhou could be as charming as a flower.

Her daughter ntioned him all the ti.

Yesterday, she was at his place until midnight, only reluctantly going ho.

But after eting, she didn’t see anything special.

“Jiang Zhou, have you found a girlfriend at university?”

Jiang Zhou coughed. “Not yet, Auntie. My focus right now is on study and career.”

Chen Wanying seed quite satisfied with the answer. “Right, I also believe the primary task of a student is studying.”

“Exactly, dating is just a waste of youthful ti, no help for studying at all.”

“Didn’t expect you to have this awareness, it’s really rare.”

Jiang Zhou looked humble. “I think people should do the right thing at the right age. At our age, studying is what we should focus on.”

Chen Wanying was surprised again. “Jiang Zhou, your summary is really good. People should just do what they should do.”

“Co on, Auntie, I’ll toast you. I finally found a kindred spirit!”

“Polite and knowledgeable, Jiang Zhou will definitely have a bright future.”

Hearing their conversation, Chu Yuwei looked very happy.

She was a bit worried when she ca, afraid her mother would say sothing inappropriate about Jiang Zhou.

Unexpectedly, the two got along so well.

What could be better than having your parents praise the person you like?

At the sa ti, Han Rou leaned toward Jiang Zhou’s ear. “Brother, don’t you feel embarrassed saying these things?”

Jiang Zhou lowered his voice, “That’s a white lie. Her mom obviously ca to test .”

“Why? You two have nothing going on. Why would her mom suddenly test you?”

“I don’t know, maybe it’s because I’m handso.”

Han Rou scoffed. “If Chu Yuwei were my daughter, I’d worry too.”

Jiang Zhou was slightly stunned. “Why?”

“You never say a truthful word.”

“Nonsense, when have I ever not been honest?”

“Have you? Give an example.”

Jiang Zhou looked at her. “I treat you like a real sister.”

Han Rou was slightly stunned, then bit her lip. “I’ve heard that so many tis, I believe it now.”

“How’s living in Linjiang these two days?”

“Happy. The happiest ti in my life, second only to that ti at Grey Whale Western Restaurant.”

anwhile, Chen Wanying curiously looked at Han Rou. “Sister-in-law, is Han Rou really your daughter?”

Yuan Youqin put down her chopsticks and glanced at Han Rou. “Rourou, can I speak?”

“Sure, because I won’t be sad anymore.”

So ten minutes later, the two won in the private room were wiping tears and looking at Han Rou with pain in their hearts, especially Chen Wanying.

Because she only had one daughter, Chu Yuwei, so she could empathize deeply with Han Rou’s experience.

At the sa ti, Chen Wanying’s impression of Jiang Zhou skyrocketed.

Though the boy was not very handso, he was warm-hearted.

He knew how to care and was loyal.

People like him were rare in this era.

“Jiang Zhou, you know hardship and right from wrong. Auntie really likes you.”

Jiang Zhou quickly stood up. “Auntie, I just did a little thing.”

Chen Wanying sighed and wiped tears. “If only my Yuwei could be as mature as you. I’m afraid she’d suffer outside.”

Hmm?

That tone is a bit off.

Could it be she hoped I would take care of Chu Yuwei?

I am so busy!

Jiang Zhou quickly cleared his throat, deciding to close the topic. “Actually, Chu Yuwei is very independent. She doesn’t really need others to take care of her.”

Chen Wanying nodded with relief. “That’s good. With Jiang Zhou looking after Yuwei outside, I’m at ease.”

Wait!

What just happened?

I clearly closed off the topic with one sentence!

How did this auntie manage to sneak back onto his turf?

I never said he would take care of Chu Yuwei, right?

At the sa ti, Chu Yuwei raised her head a little.

She glanced at Jiang Zhou.

There was a trace of grievance in her eyes.
