Chapter 173
You don’t need to teach me
After a while, the chat interface showed that typing was in progress, and a message from Zhou Jingwei popped up. He said: "Have eaten, how about you?"
Zhao Ximo was sitting aside, chatting with Wei Tingyao. When he saw the chat interface from the corner of his eye, he couldn't help but "tsk" and joked coolly: "Jing Wei, when did you eat? I
How come you don’t know?”
Zhou Jingwei ignored him and waited for news from Cheng Weiyue.
The bluestone slab was wet with water vapor and moisture, and the edges were slippery. Cheng Weiyue stepped in the middle, walking slowly with small steps, and replied to the message by the way: "I'm near Yusheng Bridge, let's go get something to eat first."
"Find a place to sit and wait for me."
Cheng Weiyue raised the corners of her lips slightly and said yes.
There is a pergola set up under the bridge, and not far away, small vendors are shouting snacks.
Cheng Weiyue walked over and scanned the QR code to place her order.
In the office, Zhao Ximo rotated the globe in front of him, once and for all.
Wei Tingyao didn't know why he was having a seizure, but he almost didn't take his eyes away from the phone screen today.
Zhao Ximo looked up at Zhou Jingwei's calm face and said, "Did the Zhou family let you go?"
After saying this, Wei Tingyao finally looked over with interest.
Zhou Jingwei's expression was lazy, tired and gentle, and there were no clues.
After a while, he said "hmm".
Zhao Ximo asked: "Then...should we continue to wait?"
Zhou Jingwei said: "We won't wait until seven o'clock."
"What if someone comes here at 7:01?" Zhao Ximo looked at Zhou Jingwei funny: "Can you drive people out?"
"No, then let them sit. I'm not here anyway."
"You're not here, are you going to see Cheng Weiyue?" Zhao Ximo really didn't know what to say: "What is so important that we have to meet today?"
The Zhou family finally relented and were willing to bring everyone to meet Zhou Jingwei. With Zhou Lingshan accommodating and smoothing things over, many troublesome things would be solved.
Nowadays, although people hold their posture very high, it really doesn't mean anything if they lower their heads under the eaves.
Zhao Ximo has always thought about these things very clearly.
Among them, Zhou Jingwei is the smartest. He doesn't believe that Zhou Jingwei can't understand things that he can understand.
He waited for the latter's response, and for a long time he heard Zhou Jingwei's faint and unfocused voice.
He said: "It just has to be today."
It's not like he's being serious, but more like he's emphasizing.
Zhao Ximo now has no shame to point out Zhou Jingwei's love life. He sighed and whispered: "You can think it over for yourself. I won't say more. Jingwei, I just want you to know that you
I have chosen a very difficult path for myself.”
Is it difficult?
Zhou Jingwei doesn't think so.
The most difficult thing is to let go, to remove this person named Cheng Weiyue from his life. Everything else is not difficult.
Before seven o'clock, Zhou Jingwei had already left.
Wei Tingyao put his phone on his lap, raised his eyebrows at Zhao Ximo, and asked, "Where can we go to eat tonight?"
"Whatever." Zhao Ximo paused, then took out his cell phone and sent a message to Sang Wanting, asking her if she felt unwell and what she wanted to eat at night.
The wrinkles between his brows were so obvious that it would be difficult for Wei Tingyao to pretend to ignore them even if he wanted to.
He put his fingertips on the armrests of the chair, nodded casually, and said, "You care so much, why don't you go back and take a look?"
Zhao Ximo was silent for a long time.
Wei Tingyao heard him say: "I don't dare to go back. She always sheds tears when she sees me."
Wei Tingyao also frowned: "Then you just leave her alone? Zhao Ximo, Sang Wanting is pregnant."
"I know that she is pregnant with my child. You don't need to tell me what to do!" Zhao Ximo interrupted Wei Tingyao, his voice more than a little cold.
He is rarely like this.
Sang Wanting is his enemy and his weakness.
Nowadays, it is also his heartache...
The wontons beside Yusheng Bridge tasted really good. After Cheng Weiyue finished eating, she had nothing to do, so she chatted with the stall owner.
"Business is not doing well these days, so I just want to make money these days. Normally there would be so many people here to eat, and it's just these two days for the holidays!"
The boss is a middle-aged woman who is cheerful and loves to laugh. She has a warm and honest face, and her cheeks are plateau red from the sun. When she smiles, her eyes narrow into slits, which makes people feel friendly.
"The wontons you make are so delicious, and the business will definitely get better and better in the future. How is it possible that there is only business in these two days?" Cheng Weiyue said with a smile.
"The little girl is really good at talking!" The proprietress waved her hand and said with a smile, "I'll give you a sesame dumpling to try!"
Sesame dumplings are made with red bean paste wrapped in glutinous rice flour, then rolled with a layer of white sesame seeds on the outside, and fried in oil until the whole thing swells up, giving it a sweet and greasy aroma.
When Zhou Jingwei saw Cheng Weiyue, the little girl poked the sesame balls with chopsticks and chatted happily with the landlady while eating.
She looks so pretty when she smiles, her eyebrows are curved, as if there are little stars in them.
The moonlight was coming, and Zhou Jingwei looked at Cheng Weiyue's flowery smile and her eyes full of tenderness as people came and went with lanterns and colorful lights.
She was in front of him and he couldn't see anyone else.
The sound of water gurgling under the Yusheng Bridge, and the relief-cut wall patterns engraved on the bridge are simple and elegant.
Zhou Jingwei patted Cheng Weiyue's hair gently.
The latter turned to look at him, smiled and called him: "Zhou Jingwei!"
Tsk.
Why did her name sound so nice when she called it out of her mouth?
"Have you been waiting for a long time?" He said warmly.
Cheng Weiyue said it didn't take long and handed the sesame balls in her hand to him, "Try it!"
The dough is fried to a golden color, and you can smell the sweet aroma from a distance.
Zhou Jingwei hadn't eaten something so sweet in many years, but when Cheng Weiyue handed it to him, he took a bite and swallowed it without much chewing, saying it was delicious without changing his expression.
Cheng Weiyue happily said to the boss lady: "Boss boss, your sesame balls are really good. My boyfriend is very naughty and he thinks it's delicious!"
Upon hearing this, the proprietress looked at Cheng Weiyue with a smile, "Then you should come here more often in the future!"
Zhou Jingwei answered for Cheng Weiyue, saying: "Definitely."
The night was as dark as water, making the red lanterns everywhere look even more dazzling.
Cheng Weiyue held Zhou Jingwei's arm and walked among the crowd.
"The car is parked on the side of the road, let's go over and get the water lantern, okay?" Zhou Jingwei pointed to the end of the long street not far away.
Cheng Weiyue said yes, but couldn't help but asked curiously: "Actually, it's for sale, why do you need to bring it specially?"
"Don't you like red water lanterns? I specially asked someone to customize them."
