Chapter 50: She chased my uncle before.
Zhou Jingze sent Xu Sui back to school, accompanying her all the way to the downstairs of the girls’ dormitory. Xu Sui said good night to him as usual before leaving, but after a while, Zhou Jingze called out to her: “Yi Yi.”
Xu Sui looked back, her eyes puzzled: “Huh?”
“Do you want to go back with me to see grandpa?” Zhou Jingze’s eyes overflowed with a smile, looking down at her.
“Ah?” Xu Sui was caught a little off guard by these words. Afterward, she felt that her reaction wasn’t right, so she quickly waved her hands, “I didn’t mean that I don’t want to see your grandpa, but I’m afraid that grandpa wouldn’t like me.”
Zhou Jingze raised his eyebrows with half a smile: “You’re already calling him grandpa, why wouldn’t he like you?”
Xu Sui blushed when she was teased. Zhou Jingze raised his hand and touched her head, in a serious tone: “Who I like, they will also like very much.”
Finally, Xu Sui Sui nodded. When she returned to the dormitory, she was quite happy. He was planning to take her to meet his family because everything was developing in a good direction.
There are still five days left until Zhou Jingze’s birthday.
After she finished showering, Xu Sui lay on the bed and searched for a tattoo shop near the school on her phone. She planned to… get a tattoo as a birthday present for Zhou Jingze.
Xu Sui wanted to do this a few months ago, and although she was afraid of pain, she wanted to leave a mark about him on her body.
When they were at the Beishan Ski Resort before, Zhou Jingze said that one of the things he regretted the most after deciding to become a pilot was washing off the tattoos on his hands.
Then she’ll tattoo back the one that disappeared on the back of his hand to make him happy.
The next day, after class, Xu Sui went to the tattoo shop she searched on her phone alone. The shop was located in a hidden alley one kilometer away from the school.
There was a wooden sign at the entrance of the store that read a horizontal tattoo shop, and the red-painted characters had been partly peeled off after being attacked by wind and frost.
Xu Sui lifted the curtain engraved with a samurai cat and walked in. The boss seemed to be tattooing someone else, and the customer’s cry of a pig being killed came through the bamboo curtains of the cubicle, making her shake in fright.
“Tsk, if you scream any louder, my hands might shake, and it’ll hurt even more.” An impatient female voice came.
The girl at the front desk poured Xu Sui a glass of water and said apologetically, “It’s a little busy today, please wait a little bit longer.”
Xu Sui nodded and sat on the sofa, waiting for the boss to come out. After waiting for about an hour, a tall and strong man came out with a pale face and almost staggered and fell when scanning the QR code to pay.
After the person left, the boss came out slowly. Xu Sui had a flash of surprise in her eyes the moment she saw her clearly. The tattoo artist turned out to be a woman in her thirties, beautiful and charming.
The boss was wearing a skirt, and her red lips were biting on a menthol cigarette. Seeing Xu Sui on the sofa, she took out the cigarette and asked, “Tattoos?”
“En.” Xu Sui nodded.
“What kind of pattern?”
The female boss sat down next to Xu Sui. She smelled the faint scent of roses and took out her phone to show the photos to the boss.
After saying this, the air seemed to freeze for a second.
“It looks like a man’s tattoo,” the female boss’ red lips opened lightly, and her tone was a little meaningful. After a while, she changed the topic, “Where do you want it tattooed?”
Xu Sui thought for a while and said, “The ribs.”
“The lower side of the chest? Doing it above the skin layer of the ribs will hurt a little,” the female boss reminded.
The female boss glanced over, and the girl in front of her had waist-length hair, fair skin, and clean black eyes. There were a few textbooks beside her, and she looked like a good girl.
Normally what kind of tattoo a customer wants, where the tattoo, even if it’s under the buttocks, she wouldn’t blink her eyes. But the girl in front of her looked like a good student at a glance and obedient, making people feel compassionate.
“Are you sure you want a tattoo on the ribs?” The female boss reconfirmed.
Xu Sui took a breath, and although she was a little scared, she still nodded firmly: “Yes, where the ribs are.”
Every time they have sex, Zhou Jingze likes to press and hold her there, forcing her to open her eyes and domineeringly asking her to remember who he was in pain and impatience.
She wants to remember this love.
The female boss finally nodded, and Xu Sui followed her into the room. She took off her shirt until the lower abdomen, and the tattoo artist sat on a cotton chair and gave her anesthesia. After setting the pattern, she bent down on the skin layer of her ribs and started tattooing.
The moment the ink needle pierced the skin, Xu Sui’s eyebrows twisted in a frown, and she groaned. After four long hours, the tattoo was finally finished.
Xu Sui lay on the bed and slowly got up to get dressed. Her back was facing the tattoo artist. She was thin, with a smooth spine extending down the middle and two bones on her back like a butterfly about to flutter its wings.
The female boss walked over and told her something. Her eyes swept over her. Her chest was beautiful, like two peaches, white and tender. The tattoos on the ribs on the lower side were entwined on the suet jade-like skin. There was a kind of rebellious beauty.
“Your breasts are beautiful.” The female boss praised her sincerely.
“Thank you.”
“I hope you don’t regret it.” She pointed to the tattoo in such a beautiful place.
Xu Sui froze when she put on her clothes and shook her head: “I won’t.”
When Xu Sui got dressed and went out to pay, the female boss was biting a peppermint cigarette and handed her a bottle of medicine before saying, “Remember to not let water touch there, or it’ll make the wound inflamed. After a week, the scabs will peel off, and it’ll be fine.”
“Okay, thank you.”
When Xu Sui walked out of the alley, the sun was a little hot, and she subconsciously raised her hand to block the sun; her stomach was faintly growling. She was just about to find a noodle restaurant before her phone made a “ding dong” sound. It was a message from Hu Qianxi:
【Sui Sui, do you know Ye Saining is back?】
Xu Sui’s eyelids twitched, Saining, Ye Saining? The time that she sent the wrong message that Zhou Jingze mistakenly thought she was Ye Saining, the girl who made him angry for the first time?
Fearing that Xu Sui would not know who, Hu Qianxi shared Ye Saining’s social media again. The sun was dazzlingly bright, and Xu Sui walked into the shadows and clicked on her page.
Ye Saining has more than 2 million fans on social media. Her name is Emily, and her job profile says: model, semi-professional painter, located in the UK, and there was a work contact email.
Xu Sui leaned back against the wall and swiped her thumb. Ye Saining’s page shared the magazines she took, the oil paintings she drew, and the art exhibitions she checked in.
From her social media page, it can be seen that Ye Saining is a well-known model, 178 cm, with slender and attractive pure amber eyes, like a modern catwoman.
She was the tough girl type of beauty.
Xu Sui slid to her latest posts, and her eyes froze. Ye Saining shared a picture, without any captions, showing her participating in a small private wine gathering.
There were many types of wine on the long table. The hands of a boy holding a wine glass on the right occupied two-thirds of the picture. He wore a silver watch on his wrist, and his joints were clearly defined on the glass.
There was a black mole between the thumb and index finger.
The comments below were full of words like “Please send photos of sister” and “Emily should be happy in summer too”, but Ye Saining didn’t reply.
Except for one comment: The boy’s hands are so beautiful, is he the mysterious boyfriend Ning Ning?
The aloof Ye Saining replied playfully: “Secret, hee~”
It turns out that after Zhou Jingze sent her back to school last night, he went out to a party. Xu Sui’s eyelashes trembled. At this time, a message appeared, and it was from Hu Qianxi:
【Sui Sui, I just found out that she returned to China. She chased my uncle before, and the two of them have been playing very well up to now. You should watch him more. Of course, it may be that I’m too skeptical. My uncle should tell you about it. 】
It turned out that the two still had this kind of relationship. Xu Sui didn’t know how to reply, so she closed the chat box. She also felt that Zhou Jingze would take the initiative to tell her about this person.
But unfortunately, Zhou Jingze contacted her as usual, and he didn’t mention Ye Saining at all. Xu Sui didn’t say anything. The two made an appointment to have dinner on Friday night, and Xu Sui asked him to accompany her to buy a gift for his grandpa.
Zhou Jingze took Xu Sui to a Hong Kong-style tea restaurant, and after the dishes were served, Xu Sui rolled a mouthful of noodles with a fork and stuffed it into her mouth. Her cheeks puffed up: “What does your grandpa usually like, chess, tea?”
Zhou Jingze sat across from her and took out a tissue, leaning over to wipe off the food from her mouth. He deliberately teased her: “You can send him a plane, he likes that.”
“Ah, I don’t have that much money,” Xu Sui opened her eyes very round, ” But I still have a little prize reward, can I give a model airplane?”
Zhou Jingze pinched her face when he heard this, his face was a little dark, and said: “You can only give it to me.”
“Then let’s hurry up and go shopping after eating. “Xu Sui finally said.
At eight o’clock, Xu Sui bit the straw in the milk tea and sucked to the end, making a sucking sound. Zhou Jingze sat across from her and had already finished eating.
Xu Sui put down her glass and said with a smile, “I’m done eating, let’s go.”
Zhou Jingze nodded. He picked up the cigarettes and lighter on the table, and the phone that was placed aside made a buzzing sound. He glanced at the caller ID and frowned but still picked up the phone and raised it to his ear, and said, “Hello.”
A faint female voice came from the other end of the phone, and Xu Sui lowered her eyelashes, subconsciously grabbing the hem of the skirt. Zhou Jingze held the phone and lazily replied, “Just finished eating.”
“En.”
“Now?” Zhou Jingze raised his eyelids and glanced at Xu Sui, hesitating for a while, “You wait there.”
After Zhou Jingze finished hanging up, he raised his hand to signal the waiter to pay the bill. At the same time, he turned his head to talk to Xu Sui with a clear voice: “Yi Yi, something came up with my friend, I’ll help buy a gift with you next time.”
He stood up, took the card handed over by the waiter, and patted her head with one hand before leaving straight away. Immediately afterward, the mint smell lingering at the tip of the nose gradually disappeared.
“But—” Xu Sui looked at his leaving back, the words stuck in her throat, and the temperature when he stroked the top of her head was still there.
In summer, the sky gets dark late, and at night, the light boxes on the side of the road lit up, making the sky appear dark blue. Xu Sui sat in the restaurant and looked out the window. The fountain in the square sprayed all kinds of water flowers at the same time, making the children laugh and shout.
There was a young couple outside the square. They went to the window of McDonald’s and bought two ice creams. The second one was half-price, and they took a bite of each other’s flavor and looked at each other, and smiled. The sweetness in their eyes almost melted each other.
“But – can’t I be your first pick?” Xu Sui muttered to herself, the disappointment in her eyes was very clear.
T/N: So sorry I’ve been really busy, but I’ll try to be more consistent with the chapter release schedule!
