Of course Ye Ying was unaware of all this.
After waking up in the morning, Huang Xize made breakfast, and Ye Ying was moved.
"You get up earlier than me every day and make breakfast."
Holding the tuna cheese rice ball in her hand, she slurred her speech: "Does it need to be so early to see the fried chicken shop?"
Huang Xize answered irrelevantly: "I'm going to the company for a meeting today."
Ye Ying looked up at him in surprise: "What's the situation, after paying the franchise fee and opening the store, it's over, and you still have to go to the head office for a meeting?"
Huang Xize frowned slightly, opened his mouth to speak but stopped.
Ye Ying looked at him: "You have 'I'm afraid this person is not a fool' written all over your face. What do you mean? Did I say something wrong?"
"It's not wrong."
Huang Xize asked hesitantly: "This store is a chain store, do you know that?"
"Of course. Is the franchise fee expensive? I heard it's quite profitable."
"It's okay, but I didn't pay the franchise fee."
Huang Xize looked at her: "I started this company."
Ye Ying's movement of chewing the rice **** stopped, and the tuna fish in her mouth suddenly became tasteless.
After a long while, she swallowed the rice ball with difficulty: "Are all your immortal families good at doing business like this?"
But think about the vixen Hu Fengyao, who is still transgender and working as a working fox...
"After all, if you live a long time, you know everything."
The simple sentence of Versailles hit Ye Ying's ears, and she rolled her eyes.
Huang Xize drank his coffee gracefully.
Ye Ying looked at him and suddenly thought of something: "By the way, give me some of your hair."
Huang Xize's posture and expression didn't change, but he spit out a mouthful.
Ye Ying hissed and hurriedly backed away: "Wow, it's so dirty."
Huang Xize put down the coffee cup, his eyes were unbelievable, and he looked Ye Ying up and down: "Where's your face?"
What kind of tiger-wolf word is this?
Ye Ying pulled the paper towel and wiped away the non-existent coffee stain with a disgusted face.
"I've seen TV shows, those immortals or spirits can use their hair as amulets. You can't be by my side all the time, so get me an amulet too."
As Ye Ying was speaking, she suddenly raised her head and looked at Huang Xize with a look of surprise: "I'm talking about the hair on your body weasel, which looks like Monkey King—what do you think?"
I thought, what I thought you thought, was it what you thought I thought? !
Huang Xize silently picked up the coffee and took another sip: "...I thought you were talking about the fur on the tail."
Tail? !
Ye Ying regained her spirits all of a sudden, and looked at Huang Xize expectantly: "What's your tail like?"
Huang Xize's hand holding the cup stiffened, looking at the suddenly excited Ye Ying, he felt an inexplicable sense of foreboding.
Ye Ying is still thinking carefully about Huang Xize's real body that she saw when she was on a "blind date" and when she got married: "I can't remember clearly... Your place seems a little thin and small."
Huang Xize: "...Speak well, don't use pronouns indiscriminately."
Ye Ying pursed her lips, just about to continue pestering Huang Xize to show her his tail, when he stood up and took away the empty plate in front of the two of them: "Let's go."
Ye Ying had no choice but to give up.
After getting to work, Tao Zi saw her looking like she couldn't lift her spirits, so she leaned over and asked, "What's wrong?"
Ye Ying propped her face and looked at Taozi sideways: "...have you ever touched your cat's tail?"
"nonsense."
Taozi's family has a big blue cat, which is very fat, and it is a male cat with a very milky voice.
Tao Zi reminded: "Didn't you say that when you buy a house, you must have one? I found a pet shop on the side of Emerald Road. It is said that it cooperates with a regular cattery. Do you want to go and have a look?"
Ye Ying regained her spirits all of a sudden: "Go, go."
After get off work, Ye Ying and Tao Zi went to the pet shop. As soon as you enter the door, you feel like you are in heaven.
Something grabbed her feet suddenly, Ye Ying lowered her head, and saw a flat-faced Garfield hugging her leg, looking at her with wet eyes, and gave a soft "meow".
Ye Ying's heart was instantly sniped, and a meaningless exclamation came out of her mouth: "Oh, oh..."
The owner of the pet shop is very nice. Seeing her being hit, he simply asked them to sit down and pet the cats, and poured two glasses of water.
Ye Ying was suddenly entangled by the kittens, and for the first time felt flattered by the stars. She held the orange Garfield in her arms, and reached out to touch other cats. She couldn't put it down, and her whole heart melted.
Even when Taozi said to go out to answer the phone, she nodded perfunctorily. Taozi couldn't help but look back at her while holding the phone.
It's in, it's really in.
Ye Ying finally got her eyes on this Garfield.
She had an average feeling about Garfield, but she didn't expect him to be so clingy! So good! So soft!
Ye Ying was so happy that she went to the boss and said that she would order this one if she wanted to.
Unexpectedly, the boss looked embarrassed: "Beauty, this one has been ordered, and I will come to pick up the cat today."
Ye Ying's face suddenly collapsed - what!
Then you let me play with a married man for so long!
Just as he was talking, the doorbell rang, and someone opened the door, carrying a cat bag, and walked in over the cat-proof railing.
"Ah... that's this one."
Ye Ying looked up and was stunned: "Mr. Zhou?"
Zhou Zhirui was also taken aback when he saw her.
After work, he changed into a comfortable casual sweater, with slightly messy hair and a pair of glasses.
Different from the meticulous elite appearance at work, he looks much younger, but it really overlaps with Ye Ying's impression of him in college.
So Zhou Zhirui was the one who decided on this cat?
Zhou Zhirui came over and looked down at Garfield in her arms: "Why is this cat..."
A little familiar.
"It was originally yours." Ye Ying sighed and stood up.
Zhou Zhirui thought she was going to give the cat to him, so he reached out to pick it up.
But Ye Ying didn't notice his movement, she bent down and put Garfield on the ground.
Zhou Zhirui's hand froze slightly, then slowly dropped it.
He looked at Ye Ying reluctantly, and suddenly said: "Do you like it?"
"It's really cute." Ye Ying couldn't bear to leave his eyes, and Garfield raised his head softly and called out to her, which made her whole heart soften.
Zhou Zhirui's drooping eyelashes trembled slightly, he took a step forward, picked up the cat, and brought it close to her eyes.
Ye Ying subconsciously raised her hand to touch the soft cat's head, unaware that the distance between the two of them was too close compared to the normal social distance.
Her tone also forgot to put on the usual alienation and politeness towards him, and praised: "You have a good eye. When I first came in, it was the first thing I saw."
"Me too."
Zhou Zhirui was answering, but his eyes kept falling on Ye Ying's face.
She didn't look at him, but only focused on the cat, so that his gaze could finally linger on her face openly.
"At that time, I decided to take it away, and I would take it back after it was injected. It happened to take this time to get everything in order."
Zhou Zhirui's family conditions are good, and he is also the owner of the company. After he fell in love with cats, he decided to buy a cat villa online. When the cat villa arrived, he came to pick up the cat.
Ye Ying withdrew her hand reluctantly. Since this cat was chosen by Zhou Zhirui, it's useless for her to like it no matter how much she likes it.
Ye Ying sighed faintly: "I only hate meeting each other when I was not married..."
How could such a cute cat be ordered away so early? !
Zhou Zhirui pursed his lips when he saw that she couldn't put it down: "You like it so much, otherwise..."
"No, just treat it well."
Ye Ying raised her eyes to look at Zhou Zhirui, with a hint of reluctance in her eyes, but she still interrupted him.
She didn't want to owe favors, especially if this person was Zhou Zhirui.
Zhou Zhiruiming knew that her reluctance was because of the cat in her arms, but she still couldn't help feeling a strange emotion.
Like a seed pressed down by a hard rock, after years of silence, thin vines still grow and wrap around my heart.
Ye Ying turned and left without looking at the other cats.
It's not that the emotion of "except Wushan is not a cloud" has arisen, the main reason is that Taozi has been out for too long, so she was abducted by someone, right?
She opened the door and went out, and the cool evening wind passed through her ears, raising her shoulder-length black hair.
Suddenly, Zhou Zhirui called her from behind: "Yingying."
This title successfully made Ye Ying freeze in place.
She frowned slightly and turned her head to look at Zhou Zhirui.
It was getting late, and the lights of the pet shop were lit up. It is a soft macaron color system with a cute logo on it, and even the lights look fluffy.
And Zhou Zhirui, who was standing below, was hugging the little Garfield, and under the light, his hair also seemed to be fluffy.
The look in his eyes, as well as the title, made Ye Ying return to ten years ago.
Zhou Zhirui took a step forward: "Yingying, I—"
"Ye Ying."
A cold voice pierced into the pulsating atmosphere.
Ye Ying suddenly turned her head and saw Huang Xize who appeared on the sidewalk at some point.
Surrounded by green opposite leaves, pink bauhinia stretched out from the roadside fence, hanging tremblingly above his head. Standing under the flowers, Huang Xize's handsome face was dazzled by the bright lights.
Ye Ying was startled, and walked over: "Why are you here?"
I don't know if it's an illusion, but when Ye Ying walked over, Huang Xize's expression seemed to soften a bit.
"I'll pick you up from get off work, your colleague said."
Reasonable, Ye Ying nodded.
After all, when she discussed with Taozi about coming to the pet shop after get off work, there were many colleagues around, probably someone who worked overtime told Huang Xize.
"I didn't expect you to come to pick me up, I didn't tell you."
Ye Ying sighed, probably another gossip in the department tomorrow.
Don't bite too many lice, don't worry about too many debts, she is already numb.
Huang Xize looked over her head, looking at Zhou Zhirui: "Who is this?"
Ye Ying was shocked and turned around: "Ah, this is my boss, Mr. Zhou."
Zhou Zhirui stood where he was, his expression unclear. Behind Ye Ying, Huang Xize's steady voice came: "Hello."
"Thank you Mr. Zhou for taking care of Ye Ying at work."
Ye Ying could hear the aggressiveness in Huang Xize's words, but she didn't say anything.
No matter how her marriage with Huang Xize develops, it suits her to draw a clear line with Zhou Zhirui.
So she nodded to Zhou Zhirui, then looked back at Huang Xize: "I was going to have dinner with my friends, so you can eat together when you come."
The restaurant they are going to eat at is very popular, but they can arrange numbers on WeChat. Just as she was walking out, Tao Zi sent a message.
She said that when she answered the phone, it showed that the number was coming, so she went over to reserve a seat and asked Ye Ying to come over later.
Huang Xize's eyes stayed on Zhou Zhirui's face for a second, and then he looked down at Ye Ying.
There was a slight smile in his dark eyes, and he replied: "Yeah."
The two turned around and were about to leave when suddenly Zhou Zhirui's voice sounded.
"My care for Yingying is not limited to work."
Ye Ying was taken aback for a moment, then suddenly turned around, facing Zhou Zhirui's dark eyes.
He stared closely at Huang Xize's eyes, and said sharply, "What's your relationship with her?"
