a winter fire

09

I have nothing to fear, anyway, in Zhou Hanzhang's eyes, I am no different from a fool.

Intellectually, I tell myself so, but I'm really not a rational person.

So, when he looked at me and asked me to blow my nose, I still felt that life was hopeless rather than ruined.

In a panic, I rummaged through the tissues from my backpack, but it was raining overnight. I don't know why I put an empty bag of tissues in my bag.

There's no more embarrassing wretch in the world than I am.

"Hey."

Zhou Hanzhang turned out to be a man, he handed me a pack of tissues.

"Thank you, Teacher Zhou."

I thanked him, took the tissue and turned my back to him to blow my nose.

Although I have never been a handsome boy with a perfect image, I believe that in the eyes of Zhou Hanzhang, I am a complete idiot at this moment, and I am not worthy of his book being entrusted to me.

I am like a poor and mentally retarded young man who goes to a rich family to propose a marriage. Even a father with a little bit of wisdom will not betroth his child to me.

Ruined.

After I finished blowing my nose, the world in front of me also turned gray.

I threw away the trash, turned back, and found Zhou Hanzhang was still staring at me.

All right, laugh at me all you want.

"How did you come here?"

I didn't expect Zhou Hanzhang to take the initiative to talk to me, but since he asked a question, I naturally have no reason not to answer.

"Actually, I..." I rubbed my nose, "I'm here to see you, and I want to treat you to dinner."

He looked at me silently.

"I thought you were going on a date with that beauty."

He still looked at me silently.

"I followed up subconsciously."

A few seconds later, Zhou Hanzhang said: "I'm dating, why are you following me?"

"I don't know," I wanted to blow my nose again, "it's subconscious."

I'm like a fool.

Or, the word "like" is not used very accurately, and I am a fool.

I asked him: "Mr. Zhou, aren't you going on a date?"

"Didn't you see that the person has left?"

"That's right." I asked again, "Then can I treat you to dinner? KFC, dinner for two, it's limited recently, it's said to be delicious."

If I were Zhou Hanzhang, I would definitely refuse.

I also guessed that he would definitely refuse.

However, Mr. Zhou is Mr. Zhou, always by surprise, and I, a simple young man, don't want to see through his next move.

He said, "Your treat? All right."

I didn't react at all at the time, and I said dejectedly, "Oh, I knew it."

I know shit!

When I got on my electric bike and was about to go, I suddenly realized that what people said was OK!

I turned around quickly, and Zhou Hanzhang had already returned to his car.

I ran over and knocked on his car window: "Mr. Zhou, did you agree?"

"You want to go back on your word?" He opened the car window to talk to me.

"No, no, it's a great honor!" I said, "But the closest KFC here is quite far away."

Then there was such a scene - a car that looked like a Chery QQ dangled along the side of the road with an electric bicycle, from the foot of the mountain to KFC a few kilometers away.

I don't understand why Zhou Hanzhang can't let me lock the car to the side of the road and drive me there, he is really stingy.

The location of the KFC we both went to was quite remote, and there were very few people. When we entered the room, there was a sense of warmth. I couldn't help but sigh with emotion after being frozen for a long time: "It's cool!"

I heard someone sneering behind me, but when I turned around, I met Zhou Hanzhang's expressionless face.

It was not easy to invite Mr. Zhou to a meal, so I asked him to find a place to sit and ordered a meal by myself.

There are quite a lot of set meals for two people. Although KFC’s sundae is not as good as Mai Xuanfeng in my mind, it’s good to have one. I don’t have the right to be picky if I don’t spend money.

When I returned with a big plate full of food, Zhou Hanzhang was sitting there leisurely watching the excitement.

"Mr. Zhou," I sat across from him and helped him put a straw on the Coke, "I didn't expect you to agree to have dinner with me."

He took a sip of his Coke and frowned.

"what happened?"

"Too sweet." Zhou Hanzhang put down his Coke and looked at me, and said to me, "What's your name?"

Forgot again!

"Bai Wei, Bai Wei of the day, Wei of the future."

He nodded: "Yes, Bai Wei."

This person's brain may not be very useful.

I know I shouldn't complain about people like this, but I have said my name several times, why can't he remember it?You don't care about me so much?

"I invite you for today's meal, and you don't come here in the future."

"what?"

"I have no intention of publishing that book." He took another sip of Coke and frowned again. "It doesn't matter how many times you come here."

So I've been seen through?He already knows I'm here for his new book?

"That... Teacher Zhou," I said, "you can't treat me to this meal."

"why?"

"KFC always pays first and then picks up the meal. Have you never eaten?"
