Chapter 37 Is This Your Wife?
Zhang Xu originally planned to get in touch with Yang Zi after leaving the airport, but he didn't expect to have to meet Yang Zi on this occasion.

His body suddenly became stiff due to excitement, and with the sound of approaching footsteps behind him, Zhang Xu turned around slowly.

Just as Yang Zi came out of the exit, that Sister Li was explaining something to her.

Feeling a figure like a wall in front of her, Yang Zi raised her head in surprise, but saw a face that surprised her.

"Hello, Yang Zi!" Zhang Xu said warmly with a smile on his face.

"Zhang Xu?!" Yang Zi was overjoyed, and walked forward directly, and said softly, "Why are you here? Have you returned to China?"

"Hehe, yes, I'm back home, isn't it a surprise? Haha" Zhang Xu laughed out loud, and the unexpected meeting with Yang Zi put him in a better mood.

Sister Li, who was next to Yang Zi, realized that this young man named Zhang Xu had an unusual relationship with Yang Zi, but this was in the public eye, and many reporters were staring at him. If Yang Zi showed too much emotion, it was very likely that the reporters would publicize it, and it would have many unfavorable factors for Yang Zi's career.

Therefore, she leaned forward and whispered to Yang Zi: "Miss Yang, there are many reporters waiting to interview you, and many of your 'Zi fans' are also waiting for you to pay tribute to them. Would you like to ask your friends to wait for a while?"

Yang Zi was taken aback. She looked at the reporter outside who was holding a long gun and a short cannon to interview her. After a moment of hesitation, she turned her head and said to Zhang Xu: "Zhang Xu, I'm sorry, I have to go to the reporter for an interview first. Can you wait for me outside the airport, I will be there soon."

At this time, Yang Zi saw Nicola who was hiding behind Zhang Xu, and her eyes were fixed: "Who is this?"

"Oh, ahem, let me introduce you." Zhang Xu realized that it might be an unforgivable mistake to meet Yang Zi today. He bit the bullet and replied, "Nicola, my classmate, yearns for our country very much, so I came here for a visit."

"Student?" Yang Zi keenly felt that the relationship between Zhang Xu and Nicola was not just about being a classmate. Which classmate would not go home to play at a classmate's house on Christmas Eve?

"Hello, Ms. Yang, my name is Nicola, nice to meet you! I have heard Zhang Xu talk about you a long time ago, you are very beautiful!" Nicola stood up gracefully, stretched out her right hand, and praised.

Although Yang Zi doubted the relationship between the beautiful Nicola and Zhang Xu, it was obviously not the time to pursue this matter. She also politely extended her right hand, held Nicola's right hand, and shook gently: "I hope Miss Nicola can have fun in China!"

Yang Zi glanced at Zhang Xu, and then, under Sister Li's urging, walked towards the reporters with a smile on his face.

Zhang Xu looked at Yang Zi's back, unwilling to leave for a long time.

"Okay, let's go out first!" Seeing Zhang Xu looking at Yang Zi affectionately, Nicole became jealous and pulled Zhang Xu towards the entrance of the passage.

At this time, after Yang Zi greeted the reporters and the 'Zi fans', he began to deal with the reporters' cross-examination.

"Hello, Ms. Yang Zi, who is that boy who talked to you just now?" A reporter obviously saw the scene where Yang Zi and Zhang Xu met. He felt that there must be a story in it, so he interjected a question while others were asking questions.This question also attracted the attention of other reporters, and they all put their microphones to Yang Zi's mouth.

"Oh, that's a friend of mine!" Yang Ziping replied flatly.

"What kind of friend? A boyfriend?" The reporter followed closely.

"Well," Yang Zi paused, "No, he is an international student I met abroad, that's all!"

"Then, Miss Yang Zi, can we ask you, how did you meet him abroad? What's his name? Which university did you study in?"

Yang Zi had a headache, so she could only answer evasively: "I met him when I was traveling in Belgium. As for his personal information, I'm sorry, it's really inconvenient for me to disclose it without his consent, thank you!"

When Yang Zi was questioned by reporters, Zhang Xu and Nicola came outside the airport.

"Are we waiting for her here?" Nicola couldn't help asking angrily when she saw Zhang Xu standing on the side of the road and kept looking back towards the exit.

"Uh uh, didn't she tell us to wait outside? Let's wait a little longer! Let's go after we say hello, okay? Don't worry, my parents will definitely see us tonight!" Zhang Xu begged embarrassingly.

"Waiting here? Are you sure? She is a big star, and this place is unobstructed. If a reporter takes a picture of your meeting, she will be in trouble!" Nicole reminded with deep understanding.

"That's right, let's get out of here first and find a quiet place to wait! Wow, look, there happens to be a quiet coffee shop there, let's go, let's wait there!" Zhang Xu happened to see a coffee shop in front of him, and hurriedly dragged his luggage towards it.

"Oh!" Nicola sighed reluctantly, and followed behind.

Half an hour passed, but Yang Zi did not come, nor did he receive any calls or messages.

An hour passed, but Yang Zi still didn't come, and there was no phone message.

Zhang Xu couldn't bear it anymore, took out his phone and dialed Yang Zi's cell phone.

"Hello, you are Zhang Xu, I'm sorry, Miss Yang is busy, please call again later, thank you!" Sister Li's voice came from the opposite side, and after saying a few polite words, she hung up the phone.

An hour later, Nicola simply fell asleep leaning on Zhang Xu's shoulder, and Zhang Xu called Yang Zi again.

This time it was Yang Zi who answered it himself: "I'm sorry, Zhang Xu, I'm recording a show, and I'm going to be very busy today, why don't we contact each other another day?"

"Didn't you tell me to wait outside the airport? Why did you leave without saying a word?" Zhang Xu asked angrily.

"Uh, there is a special reason. I was about to go out to meet you, but the director of the recording program this time called and said that there was something wrong with the recording set, and I needed to rush to the set to rescue the scene immediately. I had no choice but to rush to the set while memorizing the lines. Sorry, I will contact you when I am done!"

"Okay, then I'll go home first, my parents are waiting for me at home!" Zhang Xu said helplessly.

"Go home? What about your classmate?"

"Oh, she's with me." Zhang Xu thought for a while, and answered truthfully.

"With you?" The voice in the microphone immediately raised an octave, and was very cold: "What's the relationship between you two?"

"It's really a classmate relationship!"

"I hope it's true, I won't tell you anymore, I'm busy, bye!" After finishing speaking, Yang Zi hung up the phone.

Zhang Xu smiled bitterly, then helped Nicola up: "Hey, Nicola, we have to go!"

"Finally able to leave? Where are you going?" Nicola yawned and asked in a daze.

"Of course I'm going home! Let's go!" Zhang Xu smiled, put his luggage on his back, and took the lead to leave the coffee shop where he had been waiting for nearly three hours.

Due to a three-hour delay in the coffee shop, it was already five o'clock in the afternoon when Zhang Xu and Nicola arrived at the small town on the edge of Xiangbei City.

Zhang Xu is a celebrity in this small town, so when Zhang Xu gets off the bus, no matter who they are, they will greet Zhang Xu warmly when they see him.

"Ah, Xu Zi, you're back!"

"Huh, Xiao Zhang? Are you back from France? Are you coming back for the Chinese New Year?"

"I heard that you made a lot of money playing football abroad? How much did you earn?"

"Xiao Zhang, is this beauty your wife?"

"Haha, Xuzi, you're crazy, you actually found a foreign chick!"

"What? Classmate? Are you kidding me? Did you bring your classmates back to see their parents?"

Zhang Xu walked all the way, saying hello to acquaintances in his hometown. He could only explain Nicola's questions one by one, but to no avail. In the end, he could only smile wryly and remain silent.

When I finally got home, my parents were already waiting at the door.

"Mom and Dad, I'm back!" Seeing the figures of his parents, Zhang Xu immediately waved his hands happily and walked towards them quickly.

"Okay, just come back, just come back!" The mother wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, patted Zhang Xu on the shoulder, walked around Zhang Xu, and walked towards Nicole, scolding her son as she walked: "This kid, I don't know how to help my wife with her luggage!"

"Ugh!" Zhang Xu was immediately knocked down by his mother: "Mom, don't talk nonsense!"

"Okay, okay, don't talk nonsense, don't talk nonsense!" Mother took Nicola's hand and patted it affectionately: "Good boy, you have worked hard all the way!"

"Auntie, hello! Uncle, you too!" Nicola greeted her parents in clumsy Chinese.

"Mom, why don't you ask me if I've worked hard?" Zhang Xu called out a little dissatisfied as he put down his luggage.

"Go away!" Mother waved her hand, took Nicola's hand and walked towards the small courtyard of the house: "Come on, Nicola, put your luggage aside first, let's have dinner right away! I have made a lot of delicious food, I believe you will like it!"

"What's delicious?" Hearing that there was something delicious, Zhang Xu's eyes lit up immediately, and he quickly followed into the small courtyard and walked quickly towards the kitchen.

"This kid is still the same as before, he didn't care about anything when he heard that there was something delicious!" Father pointed at Zhang Xu who hurried into the kitchen, and cursed a few words with a smile.

"Didn't I learn that from you?" The mother scolded: "Okay, go and bring out the food, oh, yes, prepare the cutlery for Nicola! I will chat with my daughter-in-law first!"

"Your son hasn't admitted yet!"

"I didn't admit that she was my daughter-in-law, so I decided on Nicola, and I didn't recognize the other girls!" The mother pulled Nicola to sit down, and the two began to guess and communicate with each other again.

Father smiled, shook his head, and walked into the kitchen to arrange dinner for the family.
