Chase me and be responsible for me

It was already past one o'clock when we went down the mountain.

Ruan Qiang hadn't gotten out of the emotion just now, he looked listlessly, and when he looked at Zhou Ze, his eyes were full of pity.

Staring at Zhou Ze was a little apprehensive, and when she was almost at the bottom of the mountain, she couldn't help it anymore, and said, "Pull away your caring eyes."

Ruan Qiang pouted childishly, and defended himself: "What, I'm worried about you."

Zhou Ze smiled with the corner of his mouth pressed down, his eyes looked forward, as if he heard it, but he didn't seem to hear it, nodded, and hummed arrogantly.

The place where the car was parked was a bit out of the way, Ruan Qiang asked her to wait where she was, and went to pick up the car by herself.

Zhou Ze stared at Ruan Qiang's back, the smile on her face was so gentle that she could drown in water, until the back disappeared, the smile on her face hadn't gone down, and she couldn't help feeling in her heart: How much money did I accumulate? De, picked up such a treasure.

Can act like a baby, can warm the bed, can coax people, anyway, there are many things that can be learned.

Just when Zhou Ze's thoughts drifted away and his body was filled with pink bubbles, a rough male voice came from behind him.

"A Ze?"

Zhou Ze was taken aback when he heard this voice, and then the smile on his face disappeared.

This sound is a bit rougher than before, which may be due to frequent smoking, and it sounds a little hoarse.

Zhou Ze turned around and looked over steadily, with almost no other expression on her face, but only she knew that the hands in her pockets had long been trembling uncomfortably.

"Why are you here?" Something seemed to break out of her body, she tried her best to suppress it, her voice sounded abnormally low.

The cold wind swept in and blew the dead branches piled up in a mess. It was obviously a very suitable weather for recreation, but here I met the person I least wanted and wanted to meet the most.

Her father - Xu Junyu.

Xu Junyu didn't seem to expect to meet Zhou Ze here, and when he saw Zhou Ze, he froze in place, not daring to move forward.

"I'll come and see your mother."

Looking at his mother, Zhou Ze snorted lightly, "Why didn't you come over when my mother was gone, why are you pretending to be a good person now?"

As soon as he said this, Xu Junyu fell silent, lowered his head and apologized, "Ah Ze, I'm sorry."

Zhou Ze didn't speak, but took advantage of the gap when the other party bowed his head, and looked carefully at the person in front of him.

Being able to give birth to Zhou Ze, Xu Junyu naturally looks not bad, but compared to the previous few years, both sides of his cheeks are completely sunken, and he has lost a lot of weight.

When Zhou Ze looked away, he suddenly saw a few white hairs growing on his sideburns.

I suddenly felt a little funny in my heart.

It turns out that he will grow old too.

The person who never looked back at the beginning will also grow old.

"Do you think being sorry is useful?" The apology of the person in front of her upset her, and Zhou Ze couldn't help but choke him, "Do you think your apology can bring your mother to wake up, or can it bring happiness at home? You Didn't you go very thoroughly, what face do you have to see your mother now?"

As soon as she said this, she saw Xu Junyu's face full of self-blame and remorse, and the unhappiness in her heart dissipated a little.

"Ah Ze, what happened back then was all my fault, and I should be the one who died." When Xu Junyu said this, the circles of his eyes were already red.

"What's the use of saying these things now?" Zhou Ze could hardly breathe due to the accumulated emotions of several years, and now the culprit was right in front of her eyes, forcing her to speak louder.

"Do you know why my mother disappeared?" Zhou Ze's voice was not the slightest bit warm, but the words he said were like thorns, piercing the opponent's retreat, and then his hands were dripping with blood.

"Actually, I don't know either." After Zhou Ze finished speaking, he suddenly sneered.

These words fell lightly into Xu Junyu's ears, causing him to raise his head immediately, "I don't know?"

"That's right." Zhou Ze twitched the corners of her mouth, a mischievous smile appeared on her face, and the bad factors in her bones spread to her whole body little by little. At that moment, her body seemed to be empty, and all she knew was—— revenge.

"The doctor told me at the time that my mother could live for a few years if the treatment was on time, but that also meant that my mother would have to be hospitalized in those years, and the family had no financial resources."

"You can borrow it." Xu Junyu was a little puzzled, "There are so many relatives in our family, you can borrow it as you like."

"Relatives?" Zhou Ze repeated, and then his voice rose, "You know that since you gambled with your aunt's son and ruined the family, we have no relatives anymore."

After Xu Junyu heard this, he was taken aback for a moment, and after a long silence, then a remorseful expression appeared on his face, as if facing himself or Zhou Ze, "It's all my fault, if I didn't take him with you, you My aunt's family wouldn't be ruined, and you wouldn't be alone, if I hadn't gambled, your mother wouldn't have died."

"Yes, I should be the one who died."

"You shouldn't die." Zhou Ze's face was full of sarcasm, "You are going to die, and you met my mother, so what should you do, you will disturb her peace."

"No." When Xu Junyu said this, there was a smile on his face, "Your mother is so good, she should be in heaven, and I should go to hell."

The nails had penetrated the skin and penetrated into the flesh and blood, but Zhou Ze didn't seem to feel it, "Who knows, in this world, how can good people and bad people be separated."

The horn sounded from behind, and Zhou Ze thought of Ruan Qiang who was going to pick up the car. The coldness in the corners of her brows and eyes dissipated a little. She knew that there was a person waiting for her not far away.

So, she relented.

Zhou Ze turned around, and the tears he had been forcing down had slipped away, but his voice remained the same, "I hope you don't bother mom."

After she finished speaking, she left without looking back.

Only Xu Junyu was left standing there.

By the time Zhou Ze passed by, her tears had basically been cleaned up, leaving only the corners of her eyes that could not be concealed.Even though she just got in the car and didn't even look at Ruan Qiang, she was still spotted by the other party.

"Why are you crying?" Ruan Qiang turned off the car, his face full of anxiety.

Zhou Ze hurriedly wiped the corners of his eyes, pretending to be aggrieved, "It's not because you made me wait for so long, it's so cold outside, my hands are cold."

As she spoke, she reached out her hand and put it in Ruan Qiang's, with an unhappy expression on her face.

"A spoiled ghost." Without saying a word, Ruan Qiang put her hands between his own and squeezed them tightly, "You won't put your hands in your pockets."

"Isn't this because of your warmth?" Zhou Ze let the other party rub his hands, and the smile in his eyes became brighter.

"Humph."

After the two went down the mountain, they found a restaurant and were going to go out for lunch.

Ruan Qiang is not well-known in the circle now, so the reservation of the seat is all on her alone. After she finished her work, she took Zhou Ze to the restaurant.

After so many days of contact, Ruan Qiang is already familiar with her tastes, and Zhou Ze is like a decoration throughout the whole process, watching her report the name of the dish to the waiter with ease.

The service in this restaurant is very good. Even though the staff had recognized Zhou Ze and couldn't hide the joy in their eyes, they still abided by professional ethics and kept the words of taking a group photo in their mouths.

Seeing how pitiful she was, Zhou Ze finally brought it up first when she was serving the dishes.

After the two of them took a photo together, Zhou Ze saw Ruan Qiang staring at the table depressedly, and asked, "What's wrong?"

Ruan Qiang shook his head and sighed, "You obviously finished eating with me, why did you just take a photo with someone else?"

Under the light, Ruan Qiang's eyes shrugged, with a childish expression on his face, "But you are obviously my girlfriend."

A simple sentence swept away the depression in Zhou Ze's chest.

She smiled softly, her eyes seemed to be shining, she picked up food for herself, "From your tone, it seems that you don't want to be my girlfriend?"

Ruan Qiang's eyes were confused, and he didn't react for a while.

Zhou Ze put the dishes in his bowl, and then said casually, "But only my girlfriend can sleep with me."

These words perfectly succeeded in making Ruan Qiang's eyebrows beam with joy, and she was no longer jealous with the waiter.

Just kidding, being jealous is not as good as eating a girlfriend.

When the two of them were halfway through eating, Zhou Ze's phone rang.

She originally wanted to cut it off, but when she saw that it was Ning Yin, she was worried that it was a matter of work, so she didn't avoid Ruan Qiang, and took it directly.

"Are you eating with Ruan Qiang now?" Ning Yin's tone sounded serious.

Zhou Ze put down his chopsticks and hummed, "How do you know?"

"The photos of both of you have been posted online." Ning Yin said angrily, "Calm down, my ancestor, do you know that someone is spying on you recently?"

"Snipe me?" Zhou Ze looked at Ruan Qiang opposite and repeated.

"I asked a marketing account to help you get good reviews on the short video today, but after paying the money, they saw my good attitude and said they were sending me a gossip."

Zhou Ze didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "These days, you still have to buy gossip from marketing accounts, what are you kidding?"

Hearing that the other party got the point wrong, Ning Yin was a little irritable: "The point is not this, the point is that the matter between you and Ruan Qiang last time was deliberately exposed by someone."

"Who is it?" The smirk on Zhou Ze's face disappeared immediately.

"I don't know, anyway, you should pay attention recently, I'm looking into it."

Ning Yin probably told her a few words, and then hung up the phone.

"What's the matter?" Zhou Ze, who had not relaxed his brow since Ruan Qiang hung up the phone, couldn't help asking.

Zhou Ze relayed Ning Yin's words to Ruan Qiang, then sighed and said, "Let's pay more attention recently."

When Ruan Qiang was talking, she was already a little absent-minded.

When the meal was coming to an end, Ruan Qiang took a tissue, wiped the corners of his mouth very politely, and then stood up, "Sister, I still have something to do, go out and make a phone call."
