Chapter 43: Be good, open your mouth.
It turned out that he didn’t give his number to the girl. Zhou Jingze probably sensed that she felt insecure in their relationship.
Whatever she wants, he will openly give it.
Xu Sui continued to look through the threads on her phone; after not even two minutes, the posts have been deleted. Another person quickly opened another thread on the post bar:
It’s the end, Zhou Jingze asked someone to delete it.
The fantasy was terminated, and the admiration of more than two thousand levels disappeared instantly.
This matter is now over.
Xu Sui’s mood cleared after the rain. She thought it was great to fall in love with this person.
——
At the beginning of her sophomore year, Xu Sui tutored Sheng Yanjia from four times a month, then to twice a month, but Xu Sui became busier and busier with coursework, and Sheng Yanjia had already been admitted to Huaji Middle School successfully. His grades have been steadily improving.
Xu Sui also mentioned to Aunt Sheng that she would resign as a tutor. When Aunt Sheng heard the news, she reacted like she was losing her own daughter and tried to repeatedly persuade Xu Sui to stay on the end of the phone.
Sheng Nanzhou’s voice came faintly through the receiver: “Mom, she’s a medical student and has to get up early and study all day long. How can she have time? Besides, she’s also—” Seeing that the words “dating someone” was about to come out, Sheng Nanzhou thought of Zhou Jingze’s devil incarcerated face, and his throat suddenly choked up. He didn’t know he should mention their relationship.
“Also, what? You have phlegm in your throat.” Aunt Sheng immediately shot him alertly with her eyes.
“Negotiate… negotiate with the auntie who confiscated their high-power electrical appliances.” Sheng Nanzhou said expressionlessly.
Xu Sui on the other end of the phone: “…”
Aunt Sheng glared at Sheng Nanzhou, who suddenly came out and interrupted. She immediately changed her face when she faced Xu Sui, holding the phone and speaking softly: “Ai, blame me for being too greedy; I almost forgot that you still have to take care of your studies.” In this case, Xiao Xu comes to my house for dinner on the weekends. I’ll cook it myself, and we’ll treat it as your farewell banquet.”
“Aunt Sheng, I—” Xu Sui wanted to refuse.
“Then it’s a deal, I’ll see you then.” Aunt Sheng hung up the phone first.
Xu Sui smiled helplessly as a beeping sound came from the receiver. After hanging up the phone, she sent a message to Zhou Jingze: 【Aunt Sheng asked me to go to her house for dinner on weekends.】
Zhou Jingze replied quickly with a casual tone:【Go.】
Xu Sui typed again: 【Are you going to go?】
It took a while for the phone screen to light up. ZJZ:【I have something to do, not sure.】
Xu Sui lowered her eyes when she saw the news, and a little wave of disappointment surged in her heart. After a while, Zhou Jingze sent another message. Through the screen, she could imagine his expression – raised eyebrows with a mocking face:
【Why, you want me to come ah? 】
Another text: 【If you want, I can come.】
Xu Sui blushed and replied: 【Of course not.】
On Saturday, the sky cleared. Xu Sui wore a loose white sweater and tied her hair into a bun; she went to Sheng Yanjia’s house neatly dressed.
Xu Sui took the bus all the way to the entrance of Sheng Yanjia’s house. When she rang the doorbell, she glanced at Zhou Jingze’s house next door. The door was closed; it seemed like he wasn’t home.
The doorbell rang, and it was Sheng Yanjia who opened the door. Haven’t seen him for a long time, and Xu Sui felt he was a little taller. The young man’s bones were growing rapidly, but he still looked like a kid; pretending to have a stern face, he expressed his dissatisfaction with her resignation.
“Here, the teacher’s gift for you.”
Xu Sui gave him two gifts; one is a Switch game card, and the other is a Marvel character puzzle, both of which he likes.
Sheng Yanjia’s stiff face couldn’t pretend any longer; he breathed a sigh of relief: “I thought you wanted me to give me review books.”
Xu Sui patted him on the shoulder and said, “Am I that twisted?”
“You are.”
Walking into Sheng Yanjia’s house, Xu Sui found that the house was quiet and asked, “Is there no one in your house?” ”
My mother went grocery shopping, and my brother is sleeping.” The little curly hair poured a glass of water for Xu Sui, and when she took a sip of water, he revealed his true nature, “Teacher Xiao Xu, do you want to play games?”
“Play.” Xu Sui replied firmly.
The two went upstairs together. Sheng Yanjia turned on the projector with ease and threw a game controller at Xu Sui. The two sat cross-legged in front of the projector and started a duel game.
This game lasted for an hour and a half. Five rounds and Sheng Yan lost three times. He collapsed on his crossed lap in frustration, crying,
“Teacher Xiao Xu, you are so good.”
” There was a sound, and Sheng Yanjia thought it was his mom who came back, but he didn’t care and continued to speak with a sad face: “My academic performance is as miserable as this game.”
“Then there’s progress. According to the past, you had five consecutive defeats.” Xu Sui accidentally stabbed him in the heart.
“Hey, I feel much more stressed in the first year of junior high school,” Sheng Yanjia said and then changed the subject, “Teacher Xiao Xu, I can’t bear to part with your teaching.”
“It’s okay. If you encounter any problems in the future, you can still ask me on WeChat.” Xu Sui spoke softly.
The little curly hairball’s eyebrows were overjoyed and unconsciously took the initiative to approach Xu Sui: “Is it really okay? Teacher Xiao Xu, can I ask you anything in the future??”
Although she was puzzled why Sheng Yanjia was so excited, she was still about to nod. But suddenly, a shadow full of oppression shrouded, and the man bent down like picking up a chick and mercilessly took Sheng Yanjia away from her.
At the same time, a cold voice fell to the ground:
“No.”
Sheng Yanjia turned his head and saw that it was Zhou Jingze. He was so angry that he covered his face: “Why is it you again, ah—brother, you are so annoying.”
Seeing that it was Zhou Jingze, Xu Sui’s heart skipped a beat, and the corners of her lips tilted up: “Why are you here?” ”
I wanted to come.” Zhou Jingze’s voice was flat.
“Aunt Sheng came back from grocery shopping, let’s go downstairs.” Zhou Jingze leaned down and picked up the remote control on the carpet, turning off the projector.
Sheng Yanjia dared not to speak out, and the group went downstairs together. The little curly hairball had nowhere to spread his sadness. Just as they reached the stairs, he turned a corner temporarily and ran to harass his own brother, who was still sleeping.
Aunt Sheng was downstairs, separating packed things and stuffing fresh ingredients into the refrigerator shelf by shelf. She put aside the ingredients needed for today, and it piled up as high as a hill.
“Xiao Xu, sit down ah, go and eat some fruit,” Aunt Sheng said enthusiastically, and when she looked at Zhou Jingze, who was hanging around, she immediately changed her face, “What are you doing there? Hurry up and help me take good care of Teacher Xiao Xu. ”
“Tsk,” Zhou Jingze touched his cheek with the tip of his tongue and chuckled, “Okay.”
The two sat down on the sofa one after the other. Xu Sui was afraid that Aunt Sheng would jump onto something and tease her, so she sat a little far away. After a while, there was a seat away from Zhou Jingze.
Seeing this, Zhou Jingze raised his eyebrows. He pressed the switch of the TV remote control, then leaned back on the sofa, slowly peeling an orange and picking off the white threads.
Xu Sui was watching TV; Zhou Jingze leaned closer to her and motioned to her to take the fruit in his hand.
“Thank you.”
Xu Suigang stretched out her hand to take it, but unexpectedly Zhou Jingze pressed his entire body over, showing a naughty smile and deliberately biting down every word: “Didn’t Aunt Sheng tell me to take very good care of you?.”
“Be good, open your mouth.”
Zhou Jingze’s deep and raspy voice played to her ears in slow motion. The hot air stroked her most sensitive place, and her heart vibrated. Xu Sui was bewitched to open her mouth to eat the orange in his hand.
Suddenly, Aunt Sheng’s cheerful voice came: “Xiao Xu—”
Xu Sui was so frightened that she bit his knuckles with her white teeth, and her soft lips brushed against Zhou Jingze’s fingertips. She hurriedly stood up with a trace of panic. Her voice flustered: “Coming.”
After the little girl left, Zhou Jingze nestled on the sofa and stared at the light tooth mark on his index finger, and smiled.
Xu Sui walked into the kitchen with a gentle voice and asked, “Aunt Sheng, is there anything I can help you with?”
“Damn it. Lao Wang, who just delivered the goods, is here. I need to go to the convenience store to place some orders.” Aunt Sheng took off her apron and said, “Just help me take a look at the soup in the pot. Don’t touch the rest, just let me do it.”
“Okay.” Xu Sui responded.
The gas stove was baking the soup in the pot on low heat, making a bubbling sound. Xu Sui glanced at the ingredients in front of her. Since she had nothing to do anyways, she washed some ingredients for the side dishes.
The faucet made a splashing noise. Xu Sui was washing seriously and didn’t realize that her fingers were becoming red from the cold. She washed the small plump tomatoes and put them on the white porcelain plate one by one.
While washing, Xu Sui tasted a small tomato; it was delicious, sweet, and sour. Zhou Jingze quietly came in and raised his eyebrows:
“Not cold?”
Xu Sui paused for a moment, then smiled, “I didn’t notice it until you said it. It does seem a little cold.”
Zhou Jingze walked over, reaching out to turn off the faucet. He took a tissue next to her and wiped her hands.
The sound of water stopped, and there was only the sound of the soup pot bubbling in the air. Xu Sui stood obediently as Zhou Jingze wiped one of her hands, but with the other hand, she secretly went to grab a small tomato on the plate.
Zhou Jingze raised his eyebrows: “That delicious?”
Xu Suigang swallowed a small tomato and threw another one in. Her cheeks were bulging, and her voice was muffled: “Sweet.”
“Let me try.”
Zhou Jingze turned his head over and grabbed her chin with one hand, drawing his lips closer. He bit her gently, and Xu Sui was forced to open her lips.
This kiss made Xu Sui’s heart beat faster; her lips and teeth were pried open, and the wet tip of his tongue slid in. Once the red tomato was bitten, the juice was forced to be swallowed slowly.
A little bit of red juice was at the corner of her lips. Zhou Jingze stretched out his thumb and wiped it away in front of her; his Adam’s apple rolled slowly while licking it clean bit by bit.
Xu Sui’s face was unbearably hot. She moved her eyes away, and her face was straightened again. He fed her another small tomato, and his hands were not idle, kneading it gently.
He dared to do such a thing in someone else’s kitchen.
The sound of Sheng Nanzhou and Sheng Yanjia fighting upstairs could be heard, and the pot in the kitchen made a roaring sound.
Nibbling lightly, half of the red tomato was peeled off. When the fingertips twisted casually, juice would come out; the nails sank in again, and the flesh was taken out.
Sucking on it, the tomato was sweet.
Xu Sui was nervous and frightened, pushing his chest away and whining.
Suddenly, there was a sound from outside. Xu Sui pushed him away in a panic and stood in front of the counter with her back against him, tidying her clothes. The faucet was turned on again, and there was a rushing sound, which seemed to wash away the charming scenes just now.
Aunt Sheng put the keys on the coffee table and walked in. She felt that the atmosphere was weird and looked at Zhou Jingze suspiciously: “What are you doing here?”
“Supervising,” Zhou Jingze said in a relaxed tone. He pointed out, “I’m afraid she can’t wash the vegetables clean.”
Xu Sui: “…”
“Who needs you to supervise—” In the middle of her words, Aunt Sheng realized something and hurriedly asked Xu Sui to go out, “Oh, I asked you to come over for dinner, not to come here to work.”
“It’s okay, just happen to—” Xu Sui explained.
“Both of you go out, dinner will be ready soon.” Aunt Sheng hurriedly waved them away.
As soon as Xu Sui and Zhou Jingze were kicked out, they ran into the blind Young Master Sheng, who came downstairs with his eyes closed and sleepy. The kid Sheng Yanjia, whose shorter than his brother, was holding him by the arm.
With his hands in his pockets, Zhou Jingze raised his neck to look at Sheng Nanzhou and sneered, “You got up pretty early huh.”
“It’s the bed that’s glued to me.” Sheng Nanzhou corrected.
“Four people, let’s play Aeroplane Chess.” Sheng Yanjia snapped his fingers.
The group of people played for about half an hour, and the food was almost ready. Aunt Sheng called the children to the table. She was in a good mood today, so she opened a bottle of red wine.
Aunt Sheng looked at the group of children and suddenly asked, “Why didn’t Xixi come over? I even cooked her favorite steamed pork ribs with taro today.”
Xu Sui and Zhou Jingze looked at each other and consciously didn’t say anything. Sheng Nanzhou and Hu Qianxi weren’t in a cold war, but it’s just that Hu Qianxi is losing weight for love and pursuing Lu Wenbai, so Sheng Nanzhou took the initiative to avoid it.
Aunt Sheng shook her red wine glass, kicked her son, and asked:
“Hey, I asked you something, why don’t you say anything? Don’t you care about her the most? As soon as there’s something delicious or fun, you immediately think of her.”
“Mom, why do I think your pork ribs are a bit salty?” Sheng Nanzhou took a bite and frowned.
Mother Sheng knows her son best; when he doesn’t want to say anything, it’s useless even if you pry his mouth open, so she didn’t continue to expose him and answered nonchalantly: “Really? Add some water then.”
Anyway, not salty enough to kill someone.
Sheng Nanzhou put down his chopsticks and gave his mother a thumbs up.
That’s how the two brothers were brought up.
Aunt Sheng cooked a delicious feast and drank two glasses of wine. She took Xu Sui’s hands to thank her all the time: “Xiao Xu, Sheng Yanjia this boy really burnt the incense to meet a teacher as good as you. Otherwise, he might not have gotten into Hua Fu. You are the reincarnated Bodhisattva in our family.”
Xu Sui was embarrassed by the words and said: “Xiao Jia also worked hard. I just played the role of guiding him.”
“Come, thank you!” Aunt Sheng held her hand and toasted very warmly.
Zhou Jingze sat on the side with a lazy expression: “Aunt Sheng, you put such a high hat on her, she doesn’t even dare to eat.”
After Zhou Jingze reminded her, Aunt Sheng let go of her hand in embarrassment: “Blame me, let’s not talk about it, eat eat.”
Halfway through the meal, Aunt Sheng looked at Xu Sui, who was sitting beside her — fair skin, clear eyes, an excellent person, and a good personality. No matter how she looked at it, she was satisfied.
“Xiao Xu, you don’t have a date yet. I can introduce some to you. The people Aunt Sheng approves of, they definitely won’t be bad.” Aunt Sheng said.
Xu Sui looked stunned. When she was about to say that she had a boyfriend, Sheng Nanzhou suddenly interrupted as if he was going to enjoy a good show: “Mom, who ah? Do you have someone in mind this fast?”
“Of course, the son of the old Gu family who often comes to our house to play cards, remember, doctorate, he is a national engineer.” Aunt Sheng said vividly.
Zhou Jingze was drinking slowly when he suddenly said: “Too old.”
Aunt Sheng thought for a moment and continued: “What about Xiao Zhang? He is two years older than you.”
“The one who studies geological exploration right?” Zhou Jingze leaned back on the chair and wiped his hands, “Bit too short.” ”
“What about the son of the old Lin family? He’s not bad- handsome and tall, and his age is about the same as yours. He’s also pretty sharp.” Aunt Sheng quarreled with him.
Zhou Jingze’s tone was still full of arrogance: “He can’t fly a plane.”
Aunt Sheng was so angry that she didn’t realize the loophole in the sentence and asked angrily, “Where am I going to find someone who is tall, young, and handsome and can fly a plane and introduce him to Xu Sui ah!”
Zhou Jingze smiled. He rolled his eyelids and said word by word, “Isn’t one in front of you?”
