Not enough greed
Work related
Tonight, you will sleep in this bed with me, okay? "
Su Chen responded with a smile: "Okay!" After he finished speaking, he climbed onto the bed and rolled around excitedly on the bed. Zhou Zheng was amused when he saw that the bed was big enough and he was sure he wouldn't accidentally roll off. Go back and pack your things.
After packing up his things, Zhou Zheng turned his head and asked Su Chen who was still lying on the bed: "Do you want to go out to play?"
Su Chen sat up and replied loudly, "Yes!"
"Then come down quickly," Zhou Zheng hung the camera around his neck for a while, and when he turned it on, he saw the warning of "low battery".He brought this camera here on a whim today, and it hadn't been touched for a long time. It took Zhou Zhengnong a long time to remove the battery and hold it in his hand. Su Chen had already put on his shoes and ran to him.
"Okay?" Zhou Zheng asked while looking at the small print on the battery.
"Well," Su Chen nodded, and reached out to pull Zhou Zheng. Zhou Zheng threw the battery on the table and pulled Su Chen out the door.
Because it was getting late, Zhou Zheng only took Su Chen around the hotel before it was lunch time.
"Are you hungry?" Zhou Zheng asked softly.
Su Chen nodded: "A little bit."
"Then go eat first, and I'll take you to other places on the mountain in the afternoon, okay?"
Su Chen nodded, and Zhou Zheng took him back to the hotel and walked to the restaurant.
Although Su Chen didn't see many people on the mountain, there were quite a few people in the restaurant. Zhou Zheng originally wanted a private room, but was told that there were no private rooms.
The waiter saw the child in Zhou Zheng's hand and asked, "If there are two people, sir, there is still room for two people in the lobby. Do you want to eat in the lobby or wait for the private room to be vacant?"
"Let's go to the lobby." Zhou Zheng didn't care much about where he sat. He wanted a private room at first because of habit. Compared with these things, the most important thing was to fill the child's stomach earlier.
"Okay sir." The waiter quickly and neatly helped them set a seat, and another waiter standing beside him immediately came to guide them: "Please follow me."
Following the waiter to his seat, Zhou Zheng unexpectedly found that the seat by the window was not bad, he took the menu handed over by the waiter and pushed it in front of Su Chen, saying dotingly: "Come, see what you want to eat. "
There were pictures of various dishes printed on the menu. Su Chen looked at it page by page, and finally chose two of them and returned the menu to Zhou Zheng. Zhou Zheng raised his eyebrows, took the menu and flipped through it a few times , and added a few of Su Chen's favorite dishes, and told the waiter, "Put the easy-to-cook dishes first, the kids can't help being hungry."
The waiter nodded in agreement, and quickly delivered a bucket of rice. Zhou Zheng put the rice aside, and asked Su Chen who was sipping tea with a smile, "Don't you like fish? Why didn't you order it just now?"
Su Chen looked up at him, and said with some embarrassment: "I forgot..."
Zhou Zheng originally wanted to say something else, but he suddenly noticed someone walking towards him. He turned his head and saw a middle-aged man with a big belly walking towards him, followed by a young man with a curvaceous figure. girl.Seeing that Zhou Zheng saw him, the man smiled at him, and the fat on his face piled up: "Mr. Zhou, long time no see!"
Zhou Zheng saw that he couldn't hide, so he stood up and shook hands with the other party: "Long time no see, Mr. Xie." This Mr. Xie has had business contacts with him. Zhou Zheng confronted him several times, but he didn't take any advantage from him.
Mr. Xie shook Zhou Zheng's hand with a smile, and said, "It's rare to see Mr. Zhou also come here to play. I'm a regular visitor here! Come, let me introduce you," he said, pulling over The girl next to him introduced to Zhou Zheng: "This is the little girl Xie Yun."
Zhou Zheng nodded to the other party: "Hello, Miss Xie."
Mr. Xie smiled again and said to his daughter: "Come on, this is the Mr. Zhou I mentioned to you. How is it? Isn't he young and talented?"
Xie Yun blushed and said coquettishly: "Dad—"
Mr. Xie immediately smiled even more happily.
Xie Yun turned her head and greeted Zhou Zheng with a blushing face. Zhou Zheng smiled at her and suddenly felt that someone was pulling his sleeve.He looked down, and saw that Su Chen, who was sitting opposite him, ran down from his seat at some point, stood beside him and stretched out his hand timidly to pull his sleeve, saw him look down, and the child lowered his head again Go, and the hand holding Zhou Zheng's cuff is pitifully withdrawn.
Zhou Zheng sighed in his heart, took Su Chen's hand and brought him in front of him, looked up just in time to see Xie's father and daughter looking at Su Chen curiously, and introduced to them: "Mr. Xie laughed, His name is Su Chen." After he finished speaking, he bent slightly and stroked Su Chen's head, and said softly, "Xiao Chen, this is Uncle Xie."
Su Chen called out very obediently: "Uncle Xie." Then she turned her head to look at Xie Yun who was standing beside her, and said hesitantly, "Hello, Auntie Xie."
When Zhou Zheng heard this, he almost laughed out loud. Seeing that Xie Yun's face changed suddenly, he suppressed his laughter and corrected Su Chen: "My name is Sister Xie."
Su Chen tilted her head and shouted again: "Thank you, sister."
Zhou Zheng felt that Su Chen was holding his hand slightly tighter, knowing that he was a little nervous because he called the wrong person just now, and almost wanted to bend down to comfort him immediately, but because Xie's father and daughter were still standing by him It's not easy to move in front of you.Just then a waiter came over with a plate: "Excuse me, your food is ready."
Mr. Xie smiled at Zhou Zheng: "Since this is the case, it is inconvenient for us to disturb Mr. Zhou's meal, so let's take our leave first."
Zhou Zheng nodded: "Mr. Xie, go slowly."
After those two people left, Zhou Zheng returned to his seat. He hugged Su Chen on his lap and sat down, and asked in a low voice, "What happened just now? Are you nervous?"
Su Chen grabbed his hand and didn't speak.
Zhou Zheng put his arms around him and coaxed him softly: "It doesn't matter if you call the wrong person, it's normal for a child to call the wrong person, don't be afraid..."
Su Chen nodded hesitantly, and wanted to turn his head to look at the dishes on the table. Zhou Zheng put him back on his own seat, picked up his chopsticks and picked up a piece of Longjing shrimp for him: "Come on, eat quickly, Didn't you say you were hungry before?"
Su Chen became happy again. He ate the shrimp in one gulp, then reached out to grab a piece of beef for Zhou Zheng, and then began to bury his head in the vegetables with a smile on his face.Seeing that he was no longer nervous, Zhou Zheng felt relieved, and ate food with him quietly, and occasionally gave each other something, and then watched the child grin at him lightly, with eyebrows and eyes crooked. bend.
☆, hot spring
After lunch, Zhou Zheng led Su Chen to see the hot springs on the mountain.
There are more than a dozen large and small hot springs scattered on this hill, the larger ones are bigger than a swimming pool, and the smallest one can't even fit Su Chen.Several large hot springs were surrounded by white-gray stones by the hotel, with white mist rising from the surface of the water, looking hazy. Su Chen saw a lot of people soaking in the hot springs, and was curious, so she wanted to go and have a look. But Zhou Zheng stopped him.
"Our hot spring is not here," Zhou Zheng explained uncomfortably, seeing Su Chen looking at him puzzled, "There are too many people here."
Su Chen nodded half-understood, saw a small hot spring not far away, his eyes lit up, ran over and squatted down, stretched out his hand to touch the water in the hot spring carefully, then retracted immediately: "It's so hot!" After finishing speaking, he stretched out his hand, but this time he soaked his entire palm in the hot spring and didn't retract it.
Zhou Zheng walked over and squatted beside him, reached out to stir the water in the hot spring, Su Chen turned his head to look at him, his little face flushed with excitement: "It's so comfortable!"
Zhou Zheng was dazzled by his smile, thinking of the camera still hanging around his neck, his heart skipped a beat.He shook off the water on his hands, picked up the camera and turned it on, and pointed his dark lens at Su Chen: "Xiaochen, look here."
Su Chen looked strangely at him holding that black thing towards her, and looked at Zhou Zheng puzzled, and then heard a "click", Zhou Zheng looked down at the black thing and began to laugh.Su Chen leaned over curiously, and saw himself on the screen.
Zhou Zheng looked at the photos and saw that Su Chen was full of curiosity, so he simply sat down by the hot spring and taught him how to use the camera. Su Chen listened carefully to Zhou Zheng's on-site teaching, and soon With the help of Zhou Zheng, several photos were taken.He looked at the photo Zhou Zheng took of him squatting beside the hot spring at the beginning, and suddenly turned around and asked Zhou Zheng, "Ah Zheng, can I take a picture for you?"
Zhou Zheng was taken aback, and just about to nod, looking at the camera in his hand, he swallowed back the word "good" that slipped to his lips.He looked at Su Chen's longing eyes, and couldn't refuse for a while, so he could only cough lightly, and said, "Why don't we take a photo together, how about it?"
Su Chen nodded quickly, and Zhou Zheng reached out to hold him in his arms, turned the camera around with one hand, pointed the lens at himself and the child, raised it high, and then made a "click"——
As soon as Zhou Zheng withdrew his hand, Su Chen immediately leaned over and stared at the screen. Zhou Zheng moved his fingers to call out the photo he just took, and sure enough, he saw two extremely large faces occupying the entire screen: Zhou Zheng There is no expression on Zheng's face, but it is not cold and hard. The child is leaning on his chin, looking radiant, with a little red on his face, which looks really cute.
Zhou Zheng was about to get up after watching the photo. Seeing the child staring at the photo without blinking, he moved his finger slightly after thinking about it. The words "low battery" immediately flashed on the camera's display screen. It didn't take long for the screen to go black.Zhou Zheng put the camera back on his chest, got up and pulled the child: "It's out of battery, let's go back and recharge it before playing, okay?"
Su Chen stood up holding Zhou Zheng's hand, looked at the camera reluctantly, and nodded obediently.
The two wandered around the peach blossom forest again. Zhou Zheng picked up the camera several times and wanted to take pictures of Su Chen, but then remembered that the camera was "out of battery", so he could only put down the camera disgruntledly, watching Su Chen run all over the mountain .Su Chen played for a long time, sweating all over his body, and when it was time to eat dinner, he was finally tired from running, and followed Zhou Zheng back listlessly. Zhou Zheng saw that he was struggling, turned around and bent over to pick him up, and asked: "tired?"
Su Chen nodded, wrapped his arms around his neck, and leaned on his shoulder without moving. Zhou Zheng patted his back lightly, and strode back to the hotel with him in his arms.
Walking into the gate of the hotel, I met the father and daughter of Xie's family. Mr. Xie saw Zhou Zheng and greeted him warmly: "Oh, Mr. Zhou, we meet again."
Zhou Zheng nodded to them, the child's breath around his neck was already very long, Zhou Zheng didn't want to wake him up by talking.
Mr. Xie saw that Zhou Zheng was holding the child carefully and did not speak, and he probably understood the situation of the other party. He swallowed his original intention to invite him to dinner.Zhou Zheng smiled at him apologetically, and went back to the room with the child in his arms. Seeing him walking away, Xie Yun asked his father in a low voice: "Who is that child? Why did he suddenly adopt him and spoil him so much?" he?"
Mr. Xie took a meaningful look at Zhou Zheng's back, then turned to his daughter and said, "I heard that Zhou Zheng disappeared five years ago because he was betrayed and seriously injured."
Xie Yun looked at her father puzzled, as if she didn't understand why he suddenly changed the subject, Mr. Xie patted her hand lightly to make her calm down, and continued: "He disappeared for a day at that time. For more than a few years, everyone thought that he was bound to die, but who would have thought that he suddenly came back after killing him, and took all the property of the Zhou family in less than four years, and even his parents were emptied of power by him. I can only honestly stay in the country for the elderly. Some people say that he was actually rescued by an expert in the year when he disappeared. I guess, this child probably has a lot to do with the year when he disappeared. .”
Mr. Xie looked at his thoughtful daughter, and persuaded softly: "If you really like him, why not start with that child, I think Zhou Zheng really likes that child, if you can get that child Huanxin, he will definitely look at you more."
After hearing this, Xie Yun bit her lips hard, looked at the direction Zhou Zheng was leaving, and finally nodded unwillingly.
Zhou Zheng naturally didn't know what Xie's father and daughter thought.He carried Su Chen back to the room, put the quilt on the bed, and then took off the camera and put it aside.Thinking that the child had fun playing with the camera before, Zhou Zheng hesitated for a while, but picked up the camera battery that was thrown on the bed before going out, and silently charged it.He called the front desk and ordered two dinners and a small piece of cake. He was afraid that the child would not be found when he woke up, so he simply sat by the bed and played with his mobile phone for a while.
After a while, the front desk brought dinner over, Zhou Zheng opened the door and carefully pushed the dining car into the bedroom, and saw Su Chen sitting on the bed sleepily, with a dazed expression on his face.Zhou Zheng quickly walked over and sat on the side of the bed, asking, "Have you had enough sleep?"
Su Chen was confused for a while before realizing it, and before he could speak, he opened his mouth and yawned.Zhou Zheng smiled and said softly, "If you're still sleepy, sleep a little longer."
Su Chen shook her head vigorously: "Don't sleep anymore."
Seeing that he was awake, Zhou Zheng took his coat for him to put on, set up a small table for him on the bed, and put the dinner in front of him: "Are you hungry? Eat dinner first, and I'll bring it to you when you're done." You go to the hot springs."
Su Chen's eyes lit up when he heard that he wanted to soak in the hot spring. He remembered what Zhou Zheng said in the afternoon, and asked, "Our hot spring?"
Zhou Zheng was taken aback for a moment, then nodded with a "puchi" smile: "Well, our hot spring."
After hearing that he was going to soak in the hot springs, Su Chen didn't even have a good meal. Before eating a few bites, he put down his chopsticks and looked at Zhou Zheng with wide eyes. The table was removed and he was led into the bathroom.
When Su Chen visited this room by himself before, he hadn't had time to look at the bathroom, but now that Zhou Zheng took him in, the scene in the bathroom immediately made his eyes widen.This bathroom is completely different from the one at home. There is a faint smell of hot springs in the bathroom. A shallow pool occupies two-thirds of the room, and the water in the pool is still steaming.
Su Chen stood blankly at the door of the bathroom for a while, and then realized that Sa Huan ran in, and Zhou Zheng hurriedly followed, for fear that he would accidentally fall into the pool.Fortunately, when Su Chen slipped to the edge of the pool, he stood firmly on his feet. He squatted down and reached out to check the temperature of the water in the pool, then turned to Zhou Zheng and said, "This is our hot spring!"
Zhou Zheng rubbed his hair with a smile, asked him to take off his clothes by the pool, and carefully carried him into the pool. Seeing his little feet soaked in the water, he asked a little worriedly: "Is it hot?" ?"
Su Chen shook her head: "It's so warm."
Reassuring, Zhou Zheng let the hot spring in the pool slowly soak his waist, chest, and neck, and then asked, "Have your feet hit the bottom?"
Su Chen shook his head uneasily, Zhou Zheng smiled, lifted him up a bit, let him lean on the edge of the pool, turned around, went out and brought back a small stool.Su Chen watched him take the stool after rinsing it under the shower before bringing it over, carefully put it in the pool and put it under his feet: "Come on, be careful, step on it firmly."
Su Chen tried to step on the stool, switched her feet left and right, and after confirming that she would not fall down, she showed a sweet smile to Zhou Zheng: "It's ok."
Seeing that he was fine, Zhou Zheng took off his clothes neatly, splashed hot spring water on his face after getting out of the pool, and sighed comfortably.
Seeing that Zhou Zheng also got into the water, Su Chen wanted to go to him, but the stool under his feet was only so big that he couldn't move at all. Fortunately, Zhou Zheng quickly noticed his embarrassment, so he Come over and ask, "What's wrong?"
Su Chen shook his head when he saw him coming, and suddenly saw a few strands of hair that had just been wet on his head, and suddenly became playful, and boldly poured a small handful of water on Zhou Zheng's body.Seeing him playing with the water with great interest, Zhou Zheng felt a little helpless: "You bastard..." He reached out and took the small ladle by the pool, and put the other hand on Su Chen's head and gently pressed it: "Don't worry about it." move……"
Su Chen just stood there obediently, and Zhou Zheng asked him to lean his back against the wall of the pool, covered his dark eyes with one hand, and poured water on his head with the other hand until his hair was all wet. When he was through, he took a small bottle of shampoo and squeezed it on his hand, and gently rubbed his hair.It was the first time for Zhou Zheng to help someone wash their hair, and the other party was such a young child. He was afraid that he would make the child feel uncomfortable if he accidentally applied too much force, so he carefully observed the child's expression while rubbing.
Su Chen lazily leaned against the wall of the pool with his eyes closed and let him move. After a while, he said softly: "It's so comfortable..."
☆、Midterm exam
Zhou Zheng rubbed Su Chen's limp hair for a while, until he felt that there was enough foam, he stopped his hands, woke up Su Chen who was lying in the pool and was a little drowsy, and carried him to the shower to wipe the hair off his head. After the foam was washed away, he was allowed to lie on his stomach and play in the pool, and then turned around to wash his hair by himself.When he turned around after washing his hair, Su Chen had already fallen asleep lying on the edge of the pool.
Probably because he was really tired from playing during the day, the child slept soundly with his eyes closed, and he didn’t even notice that Zhou Zheng waded to him. Although soaking in the hot spring would not catch cold, Zhou Zheng still carried the child out of the water Come out, dry it and stuff it back on the big bed in the bedroom.After finishing all this, he returned to the bathroom, took a bottle of peach blossom wine and sat in the hot spring pool to drink it by himself.
Zhou Zheng has not enjoyed such a leisurely time for a long time.Since waking up again four years ago, his life has been in an extremely tense state. He hides his secrets, has no peace, carefully calculates, and makes every step of the way. It took him two years to get the company into his pocket. It took two years to develop it to the current scale, and now those who have harmed him have all received their due retribution, and he has found Su Chen and protected him by his side—whatever he asks for Already obtained, this is probably the so-called consummation.
Thinking of Su Chen still sleeping on the bed, Zhou Zheng was afraid of drinking too much and smelling alcohol on his body, so he put down the glass after a few sips, packed himself up and went back to the bedroom to sleep.In fact, he didn't feel sleepy at all, and it wasn't time for him to go to bed on weekdays. Zhou Zheng thought he would lie in bed for a long time, but he didn't expect to hear Su Chen's long breathing. Soon he was infected with drowsiness, and fell asleep not long after.
The next morning, Su Chen woke up from hunger.He didn't eat much the night before, and his stomach was already empty when he woke up. He opened his eyes and rolled over to the side, trying to sleep in bed for a while, and saw Zhou Zheng sleeping next to him.It's rare that Zhou Zheng hasn't woken up yet, Su Chen watched the sun shine through the curtains on his slightly tough face, and felt that it was indescribably beautiful.
Su Chen stared blankly at Zhou Zheng's face for a while, and finally couldn't resist the strong sense of hunger, and quietly climbed out of bed, got dressed, and began to look for food in the room.Zhou Zheng called the waiter to take away the dinner last night, and there was no other food in the room. After searching for a long time to no avail, Su Chen glanced at Zhou Zheng who was still sleeping on the bed, and walked to the door, lightly opened the door.
There was no one outside the door.Su Chen took a few steps outside, looked around, but didn't see anyone.He was afraid that Zhou Zheng would wake up and worry, so he didn't dare to leave the room too far. After waiting for a while, he didn't see anyone passing by, so he walked back in frustration, planning to wait for Zhou Zheng to wake up.
"Su Chen?"
Hearing someone call her name, Su Chen turned around and saw the sister she met yesterday.He stopped and greeted Xie Yun politely: "Thank you, sister."
Seeing him standing alone at the door, Xie Yun felt a little strange, and came over and asked, "Why are you alone?"
"Ah Zheng is still awake," Su Chen replied, "I want to go out and find something to eat."
Xie Yun felt a little strange hearing him call Zhou Zheng's name, and then remembered what his father said to him yesterday, so he lowered his head and asked Su Chen, "Have you not had breakfast yet?"
Su Chen hesitated for a while, then nodded.
Seeing Su Chen nodded, Xie Yun asked again: "Then sister will take you to have breakfast?" After she finished speaking, she wanted to reach out to pull Su Chen, but Su Chen avoided it.Xie Yun glanced at Su Chen in surprise, and he shook his head resolutely: "I want to wait for Ah Zheng."
Seeing him standing still, Xie Yun thought for a while and asked, "Then, shall I ask someone to bring you breakfast? What would you like to eat?"
This time Su Chen didn't immediately refuse. Xie Yun looked at the tangled expression on his little face and knew that this proposal would probably not be rejected, so he simply squatted patiently in front of the child and waited for him to make a decision. Before he had time to speak, Zhou Zheng in the room woke up.
When Su Chen heard Zhou Zheng's voice, he immediately forgot about the big sister in front of him. He opened the door and shouted happily: "A Zheng!"
Zhou Zheng soon appeared at the door. He was still wearing a nightgown and his hair was messed up. He looked like he just got up from the bed and hadn't had time to tidy himself up.The anxious expression on his face disappeared the moment he saw Su Chen. Su Chen threw herself on him with cheers, and said aggrievedly, "Ah Zheng, I'm hungry..."
Xie Yun thought that Zhou Zheng would reprimand Su Chen not to run around, but when Zhou Zheng saw Su Chen jumping into his arms, he quickly reached out and hugged him, and apologized to him in a low voice: "It's my fault, I got up late ...Are you hungry?"
Su Chen shook her head: "Fortunately..."
Zhou Zheng knew that he didn't eat much last night. He must be very hungry by this point, so he didn't delay any longer. He glanced at Xie Yun who was standing outside the door, and said, "Thank you miss for taking care of Su Chen. I made you laugh." gone."
Xie Yun was ignored by the two of them for such a long time, now that Zhou Zheng spoke to him so politely, he couldn't say anything more, so he could only smile and shake his head to say goodbye to them, and went to the restaurant by himself.She sat in the dining room absent-mindedly eating the dim sum on the plate, and watched the movement at the door quietly. Sure enough, it didn't take long before she saw Zhou Zheng leading Su Chen in. The two found a table nearby. Zhou Zheng asked Su Chen to come in. After sitting down in the seat, he took a plate and put a large plate of dim sum in front of Su Chen.Xie Yun saw Zhou Zheng put his head close to Su Chen's ear and said something, Su Chen answered with a smile, Zhou Zheng came back with a bowl of lean meat porridge without saying a word, and then sat opposite Su Chen to help him Peel the eggs.
If only he could treat me as well as he treats Su Chen one day!Xie Yun looked at the two talking and laughing at Yanyan, feeling envious in her heart.
Zhou Zheng took Su Chen to finish breakfast and didn't go out in the morning.Su Chen lay on the bed with the camera over and over, and excitedly took pictures of Zhou Zheng. Zhou Zheng was sitting on the bed watching TV, and when he saw him having a good time, he let him go. He only glanced at him from time to time, lest he Feeling neglected and unhappy—this was Zhou Zheng's only gain after watching the orphan psychological documentary called "Them" before going to the orphanage to pick up Su Chen.
The two stayed in the room until noon. Zhou Zheng simply called to order lunch. After eating, the two of them rested for a while, packed up their things, and went down the mountain to go home.Zhou Zheng turned his head to look at Su Chen while starting the car. The little guy was turning his head to look at the peach blossoms outside the window. The car slid forward slowly along the road.
It's just that no matter how slow the car drives, the peach blossoms on that mountain will eventually get farther and farther away from them and disappear.Seeing that the little guy finally sat upright and stopped looking back, Zhou Zheng comforted him while speeding up the car: "If you like it, we will come again next time."
Hearing what he said, Su Chen looked back at the blurred distant mountains again, and nodded with a smile: "En!"
However, this agreed "next time" did not come as early as Zhou Zheng planned.
After returning from the hot spring hotel, it didn't take long for Su Chen to face the first exam in his life: the midterm exam.In Zhou Zheng's view, the mid-term exam for the first grade of primary school is really not a big deal, or at least in Zhou Zheng's view, this kind of exam that almost the whole class will take [-] points is of no practical significance.
But Su Chen obviously didn't think so.
Su Chen didn't know what stimulated him—Zhou Zheng felt that the teacher or classmates in the school probably said something to him—he suddenly started to study hard when the mid-term exam was approaching.Of course, this is not to say that Su Chen was not serious about his studies before. Before that, he was also a good student who concentrated on listening in class and did his homework well at home. But recently, Su Chen obviously worked harder than before. After taking a shower, I went to his room and saw a child who was supposed to be sleeping soundly, sitting on the bed in pajamas and reading a book.
Fortunately, after being caught several times, probably because he didn't dare to make Zhou Zheng angry, Su Chen finally gave up this battle plan. For this reason, Zhou Zheng comforted him several times, and promised him "no matter what No matter how much Su Chen scores in the test, Ah Zheng won't be angry", which finally made Su Chen less nervous.
The test results were just as Zhou Zheng expected. After the results came out, more than half of the people in Su Chen's class got full marks, and the rest got 99 and 98 marks.On the day when the results came out, Su Chen happily climbed into the car with two full-score test papers and handed the test papers to Zhou Zheng. Chen: "Xiao Chen did so well in the exam, do you want any rewards?"
Su Chen clumsily fastened his seat belt, shook his head, and glanced at Zhou Zheng with some hesitation.Seeing that he hesitated to speak, Zhou Zheng couldn't help asking: "What's the matter? Is there anything else?"
Su Chen pursed her lips and whispered, "The teacher said that there will be a parents' meeting this weekend..."
Zhou Zheng was stunned for a moment, and laughed dumbly: "Isn't it just a parent meeting..." He was halfway through speaking, seeing Su Chen's guilty expression, his brain turned, and he suddenly figured out the joints, and asked a little funny: "A while ago... because of the parent meeting?"
Su Chen nodded, and looked at Zhou Zheng uneasily, fearing that he would be angry because of his concealment, Zhou Zheng stretched out his hand and gently scratched his little nose.
"You don't need to do this next time," Zhou Zheng said, "It doesn't matter if you do well in the exam, you don't have to worry, even if there is a parent-teacher meeting."
"I won't be angry whether your grades are good or bad. I just want to make you happy."
"As long as you're happy, everything else is fine."
☆, 10 younger brothers
On the day of the parents' meeting, Zhou Zheng got up early, packed himself up, and took Su Chen out.He originally wanted to keep Su Chen at home, but when he woke up this morning, he always had a lingering ominous premonition in his heart, and he took Su Chen with him when he was about to leave.
Su Chen was stunned, and asked, "Eh? Shall I go too?"
Zhou Zheng nodded: "Don't you want to go?"
Su Chen hurriedly followed: "I'm with Ah Zheng!"
They arrived early, Zhou Zheng drove the car into the campus, found a parking space and parked the car, Su Chen skipped ahead to lead him the way, and the two chatted to the classroom while walking.
There was no one in the classroom yet, and the tables and chairs were neatly arranged. A small note was pasted on the corner of each table near the aisle, with the student's name written on it.Su Chen pulled Zhou Zheng to the side of his seat, Zhou Zheng glanced at the crooked and childish font on the note, and asked with a smile, "You wrote this yourself?"
Su Chen nodded, blushing a little.Zhou Zheng sat down, reached out to touch the small piece of paper, and boasted: "The handwriting is not bad."
Not long after they sat down, enthusiastic parents came to strike up a conversation. Although everyone was not familiar with each other, they had the same kind of good mood for their children, so they tacitly did not mention business matters. Instead, he chatted about the children's situation in a friendly manner, and even Zhou Zheng, who usually rejects people thousands of miles away, even chatted a few words with people for the first time.
As time passed, more and more people arrived. In order not to make the classroom look too crowded, the parents who had gathered together returned to their children's seats one after another, and began to chat with the neighbors. Greetings.Zhou Zheng took Su Chen and let him sit next to him. He looked around the classroom and found that he was the only one bringing the child, so he lowered his head and asked Su Chen: "Want to go out to play? Follow me, listen Teacher meeting?"
Su Chen replied without hesitation: "I want to follow Ah Zheng."
Zhou Zheng smiled, picked him up, and let him sit on his lap: "Then follow me. If you think the teacher is boring, you can sleep with me for a while."
It didn't take long for Teacher Lin to enter the classroom. The parents gradually became quiet when they saw her standing on the podium. Teacher Lin glanced around the classroom and coughed lightly: "Okay, today's parent meeting will begin now."
As soon as her words fell, there was a loud noise from the back door of the classroom, which seemed very abrupt in the quiet atmosphere. Zhou Zheng turned his head inadvertently, and saw a chubby middle-aged man entering the door panting. , Said "Sorry" and sat next to Zhou Zheng. It was Yuan Chong's father.Teacher Lin saw that his attitude was not too bad, so he asked a question about punctuality, and then continued to tell everyone about the situation in the class. The middle-aged man sat on his seat for a while, and then lowered his voice and followed Zhou Zheng said hello: "Oh Mr. Zhou, what a coincidence!"
Zhou Zheng nodded slightly: "Boss Yuan."
Boss Yuan saw Su Chen who was looking at him curiously in Zhou Zheng's arms, and said, "Mr. Zhou still has a child?"
"Well," Zhou Zheng replied, "There is no one at home, so I don't worry if I don't bring it out."
Boss Yuan nodded knowingly, seeing that Zhou Zheng didn't intend to greet him, he stopped talking, and listened to Teacher Lin seriously, and wrote a few sentences in his notebook from time to time.In contrast, Zhou Zheng was much more casual. He sat on the seat with Su Chen in his arms. Although he was listening attentively, he had no intention of taking notes at all.
The parent-teacher meeting was held from 10:30 to [-]:[-], and Teacher Lin finally talked about the grades and performance of the children that parents are concerned about: "The mid-term exam not long ago..." Zhou Zheng immediately felt that the sleeve of his left arm was tightly grasped by the child Now, he lowered his head and glanced into his arms. Su Chen, who had been drowsy before, had woken up at some point, and was looking at him now, with the words "please praise" written on his face.Zhou Zheng stretched out his hand and pinched his face in a funny way, and when he looked up, he heard Teacher Lin read Su Chen's name and score, and his heart was filled with pride.
Zhou Zheng felt that he probably understood the psychology of those parents.
My child is so good, I really can't help making people want to show it off!
After the parent-teacher meeting, Zhou Zheng chatted with Yuan Chong's father, glanced at Mr. Lin who was surrounded by parents on the podium, and led Su Chen back home.
But there are more people at the door.
Standing at the entrance of the villa was a tall man who looked exactly like Zhou Zheng. There was a big suitcase behind him, looking like he was returning home from a long journey.He was casually leaning against the door of the villa with a cigarette in his mouth. When he saw Zhou Zheng's car approaching, his eyes lit up and he immediately rushed over. Su Chen unbuckled his seat belt and was about to get out of the car. He heard him shout to Zhou Zheng: "Brother, I'm back!"
It's Zhou Chen.
Zhou Chen is the younger brother of Zhou Zheng, the younger brother of the same father and mother.
Zhou Zheng was not liked by his parents when he was young, so when he heard that he would have a younger brother, Zhou Zheng was very happy: For a child whose father does not love his mother, having a younger brother is more important. It means that I will have a playmate of the same age without worrying that the other party will steal my parents' attention.Later when Zhou Chen was born, the child was immediately loved by the whole family. His parents took good care of him, and Zhou Zheng, as an elder brother, almost asked for anything from him.
Su Chen responded with a smile: "Okay!" After he finished speaking, he climbed onto the bed and rolled around excitedly on the bed. Zhou Zheng was amused when he saw that the bed was big enough and he was sure he wouldn't accidentally roll off. Go back and pack your things.
After packing up his things, Zhou Zheng turned his head and asked Su Chen who was still lying on the bed: "Do you want to go out to play?"
Su Chen sat up and replied loudly, "Yes!"
"Then come down quickly," Zhou Zheng hung the camera around his neck for a while, and when he turned it on, he saw the warning of "low battery".He brought this camera here on a whim today, and it hadn't been touched for a long time. It took Zhou Zhengnong a long time to remove the battery and hold it in his hand. Su Chen had already put on his shoes and ran to him.
"Okay?" Zhou Zheng asked while looking at the small print on the battery.
"Well," Su Chen nodded, and reached out to pull Zhou Zheng. Zhou Zheng threw the battery on the table and pulled Su Chen out the door.
Because it was getting late, Zhou Zheng only took Su Chen around the hotel before it was lunch time.
"Are you hungry?" Zhou Zheng asked softly.
Su Chen nodded: "A little bit."
"Then go eat first, and I'll take you to other places on the mountain in the afternoon, okay?"
Su Chen nodded, and Zhou Zheng took him back to the hotel and walked to the restaurant.
Although Su Chen didn't see many people on the mountain, there were quite a few people in the restaurant. Zhou Zheng originally wanted a private room, but was told that there were no private rooms.
The waiter saw the child in Zhou Zheng's hand and asked, "If there are two people, sir, there is still room for two people in the lobby. Do you want to eat in the lobby or wait for the private room to be vacant?"
"Let's go to the lobby." Zhou Zheng didn't care much about where he sat. He wanted a private room at first because of habit. Compared with these things, the most important thing was to fill the child's stomach earlier.
"Okay sir." The waiter quickly and neatly helped them set a seat, and another waiter standing beside him immediately came to guide them: "Please follow me."
Following the waiter to his seat, Zhou Zheng unexpectedly found that the seat by the window was not bad, he took the menu handed over by the waiter and pushed it in front of Su Chen, saying dotingly: "Come, see what you want to eat. "
There were pictures of various dishes printed on the menu. Su Chen looked at it page by page, and finally chose two of them and returned the menu to Zhou Zheng. Zhou Zheng raised his eyebrows, took the menu and flipped through it a few times , and added a few of Su Chen's favorite dishes, and told the waiter, "Put the easy-to-cook dishes first, the kids can't help being hungry."
The waiter nodded in agreement, and quickly delivered a bucket of rice. Zhou Zheng put the rice aside, and asked Su Chen who was sipping tea with a smile, "Don't you like fish? Why didn't you order it just now?"
Su Chen looked up at him, and said with some embarrassment: "I forgot..."
Zhou Zheng originally wanted to say something else, but he suddenly noticed someone walking towards him. He turned his head and saw a middle-aged man with a big belly walking towards him, followed by a young man with a curvaceous figure. girl.Seeing that Zhou Zheng saw him, the man smiled at him, and the fat on his face piled up: "Mr. Zhou, long time no see!"
Zhou Zheng saw that he couldn't hide, so he stood up and shook hands with the other party: "Long time no see, Mr. Xie." This Mr. Xie has had business contacts with him. Zhou Zheng confronted him several times, but he didn't take any advantage from him.
Mr. Xie shook Zhou Zheng's hand with a smile, and said, "It's rare to see Mr. Zhou also come here to play. I'm a regular visitor here! Come, let me introduce you," he said, pulling over The girl next to him introduced to Zhou Zheng: "This is the little girl Xie Yun."
Zhou Zheng nodded to the other party: "Hello, Miss Xie."
Mr. Xie smiled again and said to his daughter: "Come on, this is the Mr. Zhou I mentioned to you. How is it? Isn't he young and talented?"
Xie Yun blushed and said coquettishly: "Dad—"
Mr. Xie immediately smiled even more happily.
Xie Yun turned her head and greeted Zhou Zheng with a blushing face. Zhou Zheng smiled at her and suddenly felt that someone was pulling his sleeve.He looked down, and saw that Su Chen, who was sitting opposite him, ran down from his seat at some point, stood beside him and stretched out his hand timidly to pull his sleeve, saw him look down, and the child lowered his head again Go, and the hand holding Zhou Zheng's cuff is pitifully withdrawn.
Zhou Zheng sighed in his heart, took Su Chen's hand and brought him in front of him, looked up just in time to see Xie's father and daughter looking at Su Chen curiously, and introduced to them: "Mr. Xie laughed, His name is Su Chen." After he finished speaking, he bent slightly and stroked Su Chen's head, and said softly, "Xiao Chen, this is Uncle Xie."
Su Chen called out very obediently: "Uncle Xie." Then she turned her head to look at Xie Yun who was standing beside her, and said hesitantly, "Hello, Auntie Xie."
When Zhou Zheng heard this, he almost laughed out loud. Seeing that Xie Yun's face changed suddenly, he suppressed his laughter and corrected Su Chen: "My name is Sister Xie."
Su Chen tilted her head and shouted again: "Thank you, sister."
Zhou Zheng felt that Su Chen was holding his hand slightly tighter, knowing that he was a little nervous because he called the wrong person just now, and almost wanted to bend down to comfort him immediately, but because Xie's father and daughter were still standing by him It's not easy to move in front of you.Just then a waiter came over with a plate: "Excuse me, your food is ready."
Mr. Xie smiled at Zhou Zheng: "Since this is the case, it is inconvenient for us to disturb Mr. Zhou's meal, so let's take our leave first."
Zhou Zheng nodded: "Mr. Xie, go slowly."
After those two people left, Zhou Zheng returned to his seat. He hugged Su Chen on his lap and sat down, and asked in a low voice, "What happened just now? Are you nervous?"
Su Chen grabbed his hand and didn't speak.
Zhou Zheng put his arms around him and coaxed him softly: "It doesn't matter if you call the wrong person, it's normal for a child to call the wrong person, don't be afraid..."
Su Chen nodded hesitantly, and wanted to turn his head to look at the dishes on the table. Zhou Zheng put him back on his own seat, picked up his chopsticks and picked up a piece of Longjing shrimp for him: "Come on, eat quickly, Didn't you say you were hungry before?"
Su Chen became happy again. He ate the shrimp in one gulp, then reached out to grab a piece of beef for Zhou Zheng, and then began to bury his head in the vegetables with a smile on his face.Seeing that he was no longer nervous, Zhou Zheng felt relieved, and ate food with him quietly, and occasionally gave each other something, and then watched the child grin at him lightly, with eyebrows and eyes crooked. bend.
☆, hot spring
After lunch, Zhou Zheng led Su Chen to see the hot springs on the mountain.
There are more than a dozen large and small hot springs scattered on this hill, the larger ones are bigger than a swimming pool, and the smallest one can't even fit Su Chen.Several large hot springs were surrounded by white-gray stones by the hotel, with white mist rising from the surface of the water, looking hazy. Su Chen saw a lot of people soaking in the hot springs, and was curious, so she wanted to go and have a look. But Zhou Zheng stopped him.
"Our hot spring is not here," Zhou Zheng explained uncomfortably, seeing Su Chen looking at him puzzled, "There are too many people here."
Su Chen nodded half-understood, saw a small hot spring not far away, his eyes lit up, ran over and squatted down, stretched out his hand to touch the water in the hot spring carefully, then retracted immediately: "It's so hot!" After finishing speaking, he stretched out his hand, but this time he soaked his entire palm in the hot spring and didn't retract it.
Zhou Zheng walked over and squatted beside him, reached out to stir the water in the hot spring, Su Chen turned his head to look at him, his little face flushed with excitement: "It's so comfortable!"
Zhou Zheng was dazzled by his smile, thinking of the camera still hanging around his neck, his heart skipped a beat.He shook off the water on his hands, picked up the camera and turned it on, and pointed his dark lens at Su Chen: "Xiaochen, look here."
Su Chen looked strangely at him holding that black thing towards her, and looked at Zhou Zheng puzzled, and then heard a "click", Zhou Zheng looked down at the black thing and began to laugh.Su Chen leaned over curiously, and saw himself on the screen.
Zhou Zheng looked at the photos and saw that Su Chen was full of curiosity, so he simply sat down by the hot spring and taught him how to use the camera. Su Chen listened carefully to Zhou Zheng's on-site teaching, and soon With the help of Zhou Zheng, several photos were taken.He looked at the photo Zhou Zheng took of him squatting beside the hot spring at the beginning, and suddenly turned around and asked Zhou Zheng, "Ah Zheng, can I take a picture for you?"
Zhou Zheng was taken aback, and just about to nod, looking at the camera in his hand, he swallowed back the word "good" that slipped to his lips.He looked at Su Chen's longing eyes, and couldn't refuse for a while, so he could only cough lightly, and said, "Why don't we take a photo together, how about it?"
Su Chen nodded quickly, and Zhou Zheng reached out to hold him in his arms, turned the camera around with one hand, pointed the lens at himself and the child, raised it high, and then made a "click"——
As soon as Zhou Zheng withdrew his hand, Su Chen immediately leaned over and stared at the screen. Zhou Zheng moved his fingers to call out the photo he just took, and sure enough, he saw two extremely large faces occupying the entire screen: Zhou Zheng There is no expression on Zheng's face, but it is not cold and hard. The child is leaning on his chin, looking radiant, with a little red on his face, which looks really cute.
Zhou Zheng was about to get up after watching the photo. Seeing the child staring at the photo without blinking, he moved his finger slightly after thinking about it. The words "low battery" immediately flashed on the camera's display screen. It didn't take long for the screen to go black.Zhou Zheng put the camera back on his chest, got up and pulled the child: "It's out of battery, let's go back and recharge it before playing, okay?"
Su Chen stood up holding Zhou Zheng's hand, looked at the camera reluctantly, and nodded obediently.
The two wandered around the peach blossom forest again. Zhou Zheng picked up the camera several times and wanted to take pictures of Su Chen, but then remembered that the camera was "out of battery", so he could only put down the camera disgruntledly, watching Su Chen run all over the mountain .Su Chen played for a long time, sweating all over his body, and when it was time to eat dinner, he was finally tired from running, and followed Zhou Zheng back listlessly. Zhou Zheng saw that he was struggling, turned around and bent over to pick him up, and asked: "tired?"
Su Chen nodded, wrapped his arms around his neck, and leaned on his shoulder without moving. Zhou Zheng patted his back lightly, and strode back to the hotel with him in his arms.
Walking into the gate of the hotel, I met the father and daughter of Xie's family. Mr. Xie saw Zhou Zheng and greeted him warmly: "Oh, Mr. Zhou, we meet again."
Zhou Zheng nodded to them, the child's breath around his neck was already very long, Zhou Zheng didn't want to wake him up by talking.
Mr. Xie saw that Zhou Zheng was holding the child carefully and did not speak, and he probably understood the situation of the other party. He swallowed his original intention to invite him to dinner.Zhou Zheng smiled at him apologetically, and went back to the room with the child in his arms. Seeing him walking away, Xie Yun asked his father in a low voice: "Who is that child? Why did he suddenly adopt him and spoil him so much?" he?"
Mr. Xie took a meaningful look at Zhou Zheng's back, then turned to his daughter and said, "I heard that Zhou Zheng disappeared five years ago because he was betrayed and seriously injured."
Xie Yun looked at her father puzzled, as if she didn't understand why he suddenly changed the subject, Mr. Xie patted her hand lightly to make her calm down, and continued: "He disappeared for a day at that time. For more than a few years, everyone thought that he was bound to die, but who would have thought that he suddenly came back after killing him, and took all the property of the Zhou family in less than four years, and even his parents were emptied of power by him. I can only honestly stay in the country for the elderly. Some people say that he was actually rescued by an expert in the year when he disappeared. I guess, this child probably has a lot to do with the year when he disappeared. .”
Mr. Xie looked at his thoughtful daughter, and persuaded softly: "If you really like him, why not start with that child, I think Zhou Zheng really likes that child, if you can get that child Huanxin, he will definitely look at you more."
After hearing this, Xie Yun bit her lips hard, looked at the direction Zhou Zheng was leaving, and finally nodded unwillingly.
Zhou Zheng naturally didn't know what Xie's father and daughter thought.He carried Su Chen back to the room, put the quilt on the bed, and then took off the camera and put it aside.Thinking that the child had fun playing with the camera before, Zhou Zheng hesitated for a while, but picked up the camera battery that was thrown on the bed before going out, and silently charged it.He called the front desk and ordered two dinners and a small piece of cake. He was afraid that the child would not be found when he woke up, so he simply sat by the bed and played with his mobile phone for a while.
After a while, the front desk brought dinner over, Zhou Zheng opened the door and carefully pushed the dining car into the bedroom, and saw Su Chen sitting on the bed sleepily, with a dazed expression on his face.Zhou Zheng quickly walked over and sat on the side of the bed, asking, "Have you had enough sleep?"
Su Chen was confused for a while before realizing it, and before he could speak, he opened his mouth and yawned.Zhou Zheng smiled and said softly, "If you're still sleepy, sleep a little longer."
Su Chen shook her head vigorously: "Don't sleep anymore."
Seeing that he was awake, Zhou Zheng took his coat for him to put on, set up a small table for him on the bed, and put the dinner in front of him: "Are you hungry? Eat dinner first, and I'll bring it to you when you're done." You go to the hot springs."
Su Chen's eyes lit up when he heard that he wanted to soak in the hot spring. He remembered what Zhou Zheng said in the afternoon, and asked, "Our hot spring?"
Zhou Zheng was taken aback for a moment, then nodded with a "puchi" smile: "Well, our hot spring."
After hearing that he was going to soak in the hot springs, Su Chen didn't even have a good meal. Before eating a few bites, he put down his chopsticks and looked at Zhou Zheng with wide eyes. The table was removed and he was led into the bathroom.
When Su Chen visited this room by himself before, he hadn't had time to look at the bathroom, but now that Zhou Zheng took him in, the scene in the bathroom immediately made his eyes widen.This bathroom is completely different from the one at home. There is a faint smell of hot springs in the bathroom. A shallow pool occupies two-thirds of the room, and the water in the pool is still steaming.
Su Chen stood blankly at the door of the bathroom for a while, and then realized that Sa Huan ran in, and Zhou Zheng hurriedly followed, for fear that he would accidentally fall into the pool.Fortunately, when Su Chen slipped to the edge of the pool, he stood firmly on his feet. He squatted down and reached out to check the temperature of the water in the pool, then turned to Zhou Zheng and said, "This is our hot spring!"
Zhou Zheng rubbed his hair with a smile, asked him to take off his clothes by the pool, and carefully carried him into the pool. Seeing his little feet soaked in the water, he asked a little worriedly: "Is it hot?" ?"
Su Chen shook her head: "It's so warm."
Reassuring, Zhou Zheng let the hot spring in the pool slowly soak his waist, chest, and neck, and then asked, "Have your feet hit the bottom?"
Su Chen shook his head uneasily, Zhou Zheng smiled, lifted him up a bit, let him lean on the edge of the pool, turned around, went out and brought back a small stool.Su Chen watched him take the stool after rinsing it under the shower before bringing it over, carefully put it in the pool and put it under his feet: "Come on, be careful, step on it firmly."
Su Chen tried to step on the stool, switched her feet left and right, and after confirming that she would not fall down, she showed a sweet smile to Zhou Zheng: "It's ok."
Seeing that he was fine, Zhou Zheng took off his clothes neatly, splashed hot spring water on his face after getting out of the pool, and sighed comfortably.
Seeing that Zhou Zheng also got into the water, Su Chen wanted to go to him, but the stool under his feet was only so big that he couldn't move at all. Fortunately, Zhou Zheng quickly noticed his embarrassment, so he Come over and ask, "What's wrong?"
Su Chen shook his head when he saw him coming, and suddenly saw a few strands of hair that had just been wet on his head, and suddenly became playful, and boldly poured a small handful of water on Zhou Zheng's body.Seeing him playing with the water with great interest, Zhou Zheng felt a little helpless: "You bastard..." He reached out and took the small ladle by the pool, and put the other hand on Su Chen's head and gently pressed it: "Don't worry about it." move……"
Su Chen just stood there obediently, and Zhou Zheng asked him to lean his back against the wall of the pool, covered his dark eyes with one hand, and poured water on his head with the other hand until his hair was all wet. When he was through, he took a small bottle of shampoo and squeezed it on his hand, and gently rubbed his hair.It was the first time for Zhou Zheng to help someone wash their hair, and the other party was such a young child. He was afraid that he would make the child feel uncomfortable if he accidentally applied too much force, so he carefully observed the child's expression while rubbing.
Su Chen lazily leaned against the wall of the pool with his eyes closed and let him move. After a while, he said softly: "It's so comfortable..."
☆、Midterm exam
Zhou Zheng rubbed Su Chen's limp hair for a while, until he felt that there was enough foam, he stopped his hands, woke up Su Chen who was lying in the pool and was a little drowsy, and carried him to the shower to wipe the hair off his head. After the foam was washed away, he was allowed to lie on his stomach and play in the pool, and then turned around to wash his hair by himself.When he turned around after washing his hair, Su Chen had already fallen asleep lying on the edge of the pool.
Probably because he was really tired from playing during the day, the child slept soundly with his eyes closed, and he didn’t even notice that Zhou Zheng waded to him. Although soaking in the hot spring would not catch cold, Zhou Zheng still carried the child out of the water Come out, dry it and stuff it back on the big bed in the bedroom.After finishing all this, he returned to the bathroom, took a bottle of peach blossom wine and sat in the hot spring pool to drink it by himself.
Zhou Zheng has not enjoyed such a leisurely time for a long time.Since waking up again four years ago, his life has been in an extremely tense state. He hides his secrets, has no peace, carefully calculates, and makes every step of the way. It took him two years to get the company into his pocket. It took two years to develop it to the current scale, and now those who have harmed him have all received their due retribution, and he has found Su Chen and protected him by his side—whatever he asks for Already obtained, this is probably the so-called consummation.
Thinking of Su Chen still sleeping on the bed, Zhou Zheng was afraid of drinking too much and smelling alcohol on his body, so he put down the glass after a few sips, packed himself up and went back to the bedroom to sleep.In fact, he didn't feel sleepy at all, and it wasn't time for him to go to bed on weekdays. Zhou Zheng thought he would lie in bed for a long time, but he didn't expect to hear Su Chen's long breathing. Soon he was infected with drowsiness, and fell asleep not long after.
The next morning, Su Chen woke up from hunger.He didn't eat much the night before, and his stomach was already empty when he woke up. He opened his eyes and rolled over to the side, trying to sleep in bed for a while, and saw Zhou Zheng sleeping next to him.It's rare that Zhou Zheng hasn't woken up yet, Su Chen watched the sun shine through the curtains on his slightly tough face, and felt that it was indescribably beautiful.
Su Chen stared blankly at Zhou Zheng's face for a while, and finally couldn't resist the strong sense of hunger, and quietly climbed out of bed, got dressed, and began to look for food in the room.Zhou Zheng called the waiter to take away the dinner last night, and there was no other food in the room. After searching for a long time to no avail, Su Chen glanced at Zhou Zheng who was still sleeping on the bed, and walked to the door, lightly opened the door.
There was no one outside the door.Su Chen took a few steps outside, looked around, but didn't see anyone.He was afraid that Zhou Zheng would wake up and worry, so he didn't dare to leave the room too far. After waiting for a while, he didn't see anyone passing by, so he walked back in frustration, planning to wait for Zhou Zheng to wake up.
"Su Chen?"
Hearing someone call her name, Su Chen turned around and saw the sister she met yesterday.He stopped and greeted Xie Yun politely: "Thank you, sister."
Seeing him standing alone at the door, Xie Yun felt a little strange, and came over and asked, "Why are you alone?"
"Ah Zheng is still awake," Su Chen replied, "I want to go out and find something to eat."
Xie Yun felt a little strange hearing him call Zhou Zheng's name, and then remembered what his father said to him yesterday, so he lowered his head and asked Su Chen, "Have you not had breakfast yet?"
Su Chen hesitated for a while, then nodded.
Seeing Su Chen nodded, Xie Yun asked again: "Then sister will take you to have breakfast?" After she finished speaking, she wanted to reach out to pull Su Chen, but Su Chen avoided it.Xie Yun glanced at Su Chen in surprise, and he shook his head resolutely: "I want to wait for Ah Zheng."
Seeing him standing still, Xie Yun thought for a while and asked, "Then, shall I ask someone to bring you breakfast? What would you like to eat?"
This time Su Chen didn't immediately refuse. Xie Yun looked at the tangled expression on his little face and knew that this proposal would probably not be rejected, so he simply squatted patiently in front of the child and waited for him to make a decision. Before he had time to speak, Zhou Zheng in the room woke up.
When Su Chen heard Zhou Zheng's voice, he immediately forgot about the big sister in front of him. He opened the door and shouted happily: "A Zheng!"
Zhou Zheng soon appeared at the door. He was still wearing a nightgown and his hair was messed up. He looked like he just got up from the bed and hadn't had time to tidy himself up.The anxious expression on his face disappeared the moment he saw Su Chen. Su Chen threw herself on him with cheers, and said aggrievedly, "Ah Zheng, I'm hungry..."
Xie Yun thought that Zhou Zheng would reprimand Su Chen not to run around, but when Zhou Zheng saw Su Chen jumping into his arms, he quickly reached out and hugged him, and apologized to him in a low voice: "It's my fault, I got up late ...Are you hungry?"
Su Chen shook her head: "Fortunately..."
Zhou Zheng knew that he didn't eat much last night. He must be very hungry by this point, so he didn't delay any longer. He glanced at Xie Yun who was standing outside the door, and said, "Thank you miss for taking care of Su Chen. I made you laugh." gone."
Xie Yun was ignored by the two of them for such a long time, now that Zhou Zheng spoke to him so politely, he couldn't say anything more, so he could only smile and shake his head to say goodbye to them, and went to the restaurant by himself.She sat in the dining room absent-mindedly eating the dim sum on the plate, and watched the movement at the door quietly. Sure enough, it didn't take long before she saw Zhou Zheng leading Su Chen in. The two found a table nearby. Zhou Zheng asked Su Chen to come in. After sitting down in the seat, he took a plate and put a large plate of dim sum in front of Su Chen.Xie Yun saw Zhou Zheng put his head close to Su Chen's ear and said something, Su Chen answered with a smile, Zhou Zheng came back with a bowl of lean meat porridge without saying a word, and then sat opposite Su Chen to help him Peel the eggs.
If only he could treat me as well as he treats Su Chen one day!Xie Yun looked at the two talking and laughing at Yanyan, feeling envious in her heart.
Zhou Zheng took Su Chen to finish breakfast and didn't go out in the morning.Su Chen lay on the bed with the camera over and over, and excitedly took pictures of Zhou Zheng. Zhou Zheng was sitting on the bed watching TV, and when he saw him having a good time, he let him go. He only glanced at him from time to time, lest he Feeling neglected and unhappy—this was Zhou Zheng's only gain after watching the orphan psychological documentary called "Them" before going to the orphanage to pick up Su Chen.
The two stayed in the room until noon. Zhou Zheng simply called to order lunch. After eating, the two of them rested for a while, packed up their things, and went down the mountain to go home.Zhou Zheng turned his head to look at Su Chen while starting the car. The little guy was turning his head to look at the peach blossoms outside the window. The car slid forward slowly along the road.
It's just that no matter how slow the car drives, the peach blossoms on that mountain will eventually get farther and farther away from them and disappear.Seeing that the little guy finally sat upright and stopped looking back, Zhou Zheng comforted him while speeding up the car: "If you like it, we will come again next time."
Hearing what he said, Su Chen looked back at the blurred distant mountains again, and nodded with a smile: "En!"
However, this agreed "next time" did not come as early as Zhou Zheng planned.
After returning from the hot spring hotel, it didn't take long for Su Chen to face the first exam in his life: the midterm exam.In Zhou Zheng's view, the mid-term exam for the first grade of primary school is really not a big deal, or at least in Zhou Zheng's view, this kind of exam that almost the whole class will take [-] points is of no practical significance.
But Su Chen obviously didn't think so.
Su Chen didn't know what stimulated him—Zhou Zheng felt that the teacher or classmates in the school probably said something to him—he suddenly started to study hard when the mid-term exam was approaching.Of course, this is not to say that Su Chen was not serious about his studies before. Before that, he was also a good student who concentrated on listening in class and did his homework well at home. But recently, Su Chen obviously worked harder than before. After taking a shower, I went to his room and saw a child who was supposed to be sleeping soundly, sitting on the bed in pajamas and reading a book.
Fortunately, after being caught several times, probably because he didn't dare to make Zhou Zheng angry, Su Chen finally gave up this battle plan. For this reason, Zhou Zheng comforted him several times, and promised him "no matter what No matter how much Su Chen scores in the test, Ah Zheng won't be angry", which finally made Su Chen less nervous.
The test results were just as Zhou Zheng expected. After the results came out, more than half of the people in Su Chen's class got full marks, and the rest got 99 and 98 marks.On the day when the results came out, Su Chen happily climbed into the car with two full-score test papers and handed the test papers to Zhou Zheng. Chen: "Xiao Chen did so well in the exam, do you want any rewards?"
Su Chen clumsily fastened his seat belt, shook his head, and glanced at Zhou Zheng with some hesitation.Seeing that he hesitated to speak, Zhou Zheng couldn't help asking: "What's the matter? Is there anything else?"
Su Chen pursed her lips and whispered, "The teacher said that there will be a parents' meeting this weekend..."
Zhou Zheng was stunned for a moment, and laughed dumbly: "Isn't it just a parent meeting..." He was halfway through speaking, seeing Su Chen's guilty expression, his brain turned, and he suddenly figured out the joints, and asked a little funny: "A while ago... because of the parent meeting?"
Su Chen nodded, and looked at Zhou Zheng uneasily, fearing that he would be angry because of his concealment, Zhou Zheng stretched out his hand and gently scratched his little nose.
"You don't need to do this next time," Zhou Zheng said, "It doesn't matter if you do well in the exam, you don't have to worry, even if there is a parent-teacher meeting."
"I won't be angry whether your grades are good or bad. I just want to make you happy."
"As long as you're happy, everything else is fine."
☆, 10 younger brothers
On the day of the parents' meeting, Zhou Zheng got up early, packed himself up, and took Su Chen out.He originally wanted to keep Su Chen at home, but when he woke up this morning, he always had a lingering ominous premonition in his heart, and he took Su Chen with him when he was about to leave.
Su Chen was stunned, and asked, "Eh? Shall I go too?"
Zhou Zheng nodded: "Don't you want to go?"
Su Chen hurriedly followed: "I'm with Ah Zheng!"
They arrived early, Zhou Zheng drove the car into the campus, found a parking space and parked the car, Su Chen skipped ahead to lead him the way, and the two chatted to the classroom while walking.
There was no one in the classroom yet, and the tables and chairs were neatly arranged. A small note was pasted on the corner of each table near the aisle, with the student's name written on it.Su Chen pulled Zhou Zheng to the side of his seat, Zhou Zheng glanced at the crooked and childish font on the note, and asked with a smile, "You wrote this yourself?"
Su Chen nodded, blushing a little.Zhou Zheng sat down, reached out to touch the small piece of paper, and boasted: "The handwriting is not bad."
Not long after they sat down, enthusiastic parents came to strike up a conversation. Although everyone was not familiar with each other, they had the same kind of good mood for their children, so they tacitly did not mention business matters. Instead, he chatted about the children's situation in a friendly manner, and even Zhou Zheng, who usually rejects people thousands of miles away, even chatted a few words with people for the first time.
As time passed, more and more people arrived. In order not to make the classroom look too crowded, the parents who had gathered together returned to their children's seats one after another, and began to chat with the neighbors. Greetings.Zhou Zheng took Su Chen and let him sit next to him. He looked around the classroom and found that he was the only one bringing the child, so he lowered his head and asked Su Chen: "Want to go out to play? Follow me, listen Teacher meeting?"
Su Chen replied without hesitation: "I want to follow Ah Zheng."
Zhou Zheng smiled, picked him up, and let him sit on his lap: "Then follow me. If you think the teacher is boring, you can sleep with me for a while."
It didn't take long for Teacher Lin to enter the classroom. The parents gradually became quiet when they saw her standing on the podium. Teacher Lin glanced around the classroom and coughed lightly: "Okay, today's parent meeting will begin now."
As soon as her words fell, there was a loud noise from the back door of the classroom, which seemed very abrupt in the quiet atmosphere. Zhou Zheng turned his head inadvertently, and saw a chubby middle-aged man entering the door panting. , Said "Sorry" and sat next to Zhou Zheng. It was Yuan Chong's father.Teacher Lin saw that his attitude was not too bad, so he asked a question about punctuality, and then continued to tell everyone about the situation in the class. The middle-aged man sat on his seat for a while, and then lowered his voice and followed Zhou Zheng said hello: "Oh Mr. Zhou, what a coincidence!"
Zhou Zheng nodded slightly: "Boss Yuan."
Boss Yuan saw Su Chen who was looking at him curiously in Zhou Zheng's arms, and said, "Mr. Zhou still has a child?"
"Well," Zhou Zheng replied, "There is no one at home, so I don't worry if I don't bring it out."
Boss Yuan nodded knowingly, seeing that Zhou Zheng didn't intend to greet him, he stopped talking, and listened to Teacher Lin seriously, and wrote a few sentences in his notebook from time to time.In contrast, Zhou Zheng was much more casual. He sat on the seat with Su Chen in his arms. Although he was listening attentively, he had no intention of taking notes at all.
The parent-teacher meeting was held from 10:30 to [-]:[-], and Teacher Lin finally talked about the grades and performance of the children that parents are concerned about: "The mid-term exam not long ago..." Zhou Zheng immediately felt that the sleeve of his left arm was tightly grasped by the child Now, he lowered his head and glanced into his arms. Su Chen, who had been drowsy before, had woken up at some point, and was looking at him now, with the words "please praise" written on his face.Zhou Zheng stretched out his hand and pinched his face in a funny way, and when he looked up, he heard Teacher Lin read Su Chen's name and score, and his heart was filled with pride.
Zhou Zheng felt that he probably understood the psychology of those parents.
My child is so good, I really can't help making people want to show it off!
After the parent-teacher meeting, Zhou Zheng chatted with Yuan Chong's father, glanced at Mr. Lin who was surrounded by parents on the podium, and led Su Chen back home.
But there are more people at the door.
Standing at the entrance of the villa was a tall man who looked exactly like Zhou Zheng. There was a big suitcase behind him, looking like he was returning home from a long journey.He was casually leaning against the door of the villa with a cigarette in his mouth. When he saw Zhou Zheng's car approaching, his eyes lit up and he immediately rushed over. Su Chen unbuckled his seat belt and was about to get out of the car. He heard him shout to Zhou Zheng: "Brother, I'm back!"
It's Zhou Chen.
Zhou Chen is the younger brother of Zhou Zheng, the younger brother of the same father and mother.
Zhou Zheng was not liked by his parents when he was young, so when he heard that he would have a younger brother, Zhou Zheng was very happy: For a child whose father does not love his mother, having a younger brother is more important. It means that I will have a playmate of the same age without worrying that the other party will steal my parents' attention.Later when Zhou Chen was born, the child was immediately loved by the whole family. His parents took good care of him, and Zhou Zheng, as an elder brother, almost asked for anything from him.
