Chapter 766 A Good Girl "Suitable" for Marriage (13)
Chapter 766 A Good Girl "Suitable" for Marriage (13)
At the birthday party, Xu Ruyuan fluttered around like a butterfly, pulling Lin Chongze everywhere.
Mu Zhou wished he could shrink himself down so as not to attract anyone's attention.
She peered around furtively, wondering where Tan Songqing had gone.
Qin Zheng across from her showed no restraint, his gaze still fixed on her.
His gaze was icy, giving off an inexplicable sense of pressure.
But soon, that annoying gaze disappeared.
Mu Zhou looked up and was surprised to see Song Chuyu standing in front of her, shielding her from Qin Zheng's extremely oppressive gaze:
"Want to go out for a barbecue?"
His voice was gentle, and his expression was calm.
Mu Zhou looked at him as if he were a savior and nodded vigorously:
"it is good."
She got up and followed Song Chuyu out of the living room.
Song Chuyu didn't look at Qin Zheng at all, only talking to Mu Zhou with his head down.
This unsightly scene cast a shadow over Qin Zheng's expression.
*
The barbecue was almost ready, and everyone moved to the small garden to start eating.
Tan Songqing finally returned to Mu Zhou's side.
She quickly noticed Qin Zheng, and after a moment of stunned silence, she finally remembered who he was.
She subtly tugged at Mu Zhou, her eyes questioning.
Mu Zhou gently shook his head.
She didn't know why Qin Zheng was here.
However, he didn't seem very happy; his face was dark, as if someone owed him tens of millions.
Mu Zhou tried to ignore him and only chatted with Tan Songqing and Song Chuyu.
After they had eaten and drunk their fill, Xu Ruyuan suggested playing games.
Let's play the simplest Truth or Dare game.
Everyone draws playing cards. The person who draws the King can designate other cards, and the person whose card is drawn chooses between Truth or Dare.
In the first round, the chosen person selected a dare, which resulted in them having to bark like a dog and sing "Meow Like a Cat".
Everyone was thoroughly entertained.
In the second round, Xu Ruyuan, relying on her status as the birthday girl, wanted to reveal her hand and take the king.
Everyone has no objection.
After dealing the cards, she thought for a few seconds:
"I choose the person who drew the three of hearts."
Looking at the three of hearts in his hand, Mu Zhou had no choice but to reveal his identity.
Having learned from the experience of the first round, Mu Zhou definitely wouldn't dare to choose dare.
"I choose to tell the truth."
"That's the truth."
Xu Ruyuan's mind raced.
“Name…” Xu Ruyuan scanned the crowd, finally settling on Song Chuyu, “name five of Teacher Chuyu’s strengths.”
Mu Zhou doesn't know many people here, and Xu Ruyuan knows her personality, so she can't just point fingers or make jokes.
Since they know each other anyway, it's okay to create a little bit of ambiguity.
As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Zheng's eyes narrowed instantly, his sharp gaze piercing Xu Ruyuan like a sword.
Xu Ruyuan felt a chill run down her spine, and she looked around inexplicably.
There was no wind.
This truth or dare question wasn't too difficult, Mu Zhou looked at Song Chuyu.
He happened to be looking over there too.
His gaze was gentle, as if it possessed a calming power.
Mu Zhou blurted out:
"Professor Song is gentle, can cook, is responsible, very domestic, and... good-looking."
Song Chuyu gazed at her quietly, a glimmer of light surging in his dark eyes.
Those compliments that he took for granted now seemed to have taken on a special, indescribable meaning.
Something seemed to be blooming in my heart, and the light gradually spread to my limbs and bones.
Mu Zhou's answer prompted Xu Ruyuan to playfully tease him:
"Oh~ Your answer came without any thought. It seems you know Teacher Chuyu very well."
Mu Zhou's ears burned, but he forced a calm smile.
Song Chuyu, however, maintained a slight smile, showing no sign of unease. He shuffled the cards and dealt them to everyone:
"continue."
One sentence successfully diverted the attention from the others' teasing.
Mu Zhou breathed a sigh of relief.
Lin Chongze sat next to Qin Zheng and almost instantly felt the terrifying aura emanating from him.
He glanced at Qin Zheng discreetly.
His eyes were as cold as ice.
Also normal.
That day at the folk music restaurant, Mu Zhou's requirements for a partner were almost identical to the praise she had just given Song Chuyu.
Even a fool would know that she definitely has feelings for Song Chuyu.
And it's different from his casual attitude towards Qin Zheng.
She was clearly serious, treating him as her future partner.
Qin Zheng must be furious.
During this time, he stubbornly insisted that he was fine and even said that he didn't have any feelings for Mu Zhou, he just thought it was a good match.
But actually?
Lin Chongze saw everything about him.
The impotent rage of a heartbroken man was vividly displayed in him.
Now he's in for a lot of trouble.
The game continues.
This time, Mu Zhou drew the King.
She casually mentioned a card, and the card she drew turned out to be Qin Zheng.
Mu Zhou glanced at him quickly, then looked away.
"I choose to tell the truth."
His deep, sinister voice rang out.
Mu Zhou paused for a moment, then asked the question that was least likely to go wrong: a career-related question.
"The most troublesome thing I've encountered at work..."
But before she could finish speaking, Xu Ruyuan interrupted her:
"No, no, this is too easy, not exciting at all."
Xu Ruyuan had already drunk quite a bit of alcohol, and at this moment she didn't care about Qin Zheng's identity or his icy face, nor did she care about her brother's desperate winks. She only wanted to ask a sufficiently private question.
Her eyes darted around, and she asked:
"Do you have a girl you like right now?" After saying that, she immediately added, "You have to be honest, or the person you like in the future will never like you back."
Qin Zheng held a deck of cards in his hand, remained silent for a few seconds, then picked up a glass of baijiu from the table and drank it all in one gulp.
This means they don't intend to answer and are accepting punishment.
Xu Ruyi gave a meaningful "Oh".
Although there was no answer, the silence spoke volumes.
If not, just say so.
This means it exists.
But they refuse to admit that they like it.
Really interesting.
It's surprising that Qin Zheng, who seems to be in control of everything, is so awkward when it comes to relationships.
Mu Zhou remained silent in response to his lack of response, focusing instead on studying the cards.
After playing a few more rounds, Mu Zhou checked the time.
She should prepare to leave.
At this moment, Xu Ruyuan organized everyone to play other games, and Tan Songqing was also very engrossed in them.
Mu Zhou knew that as long as she said she was leaving, Tan Songqing would definitely go with her.
But it was obvious that Tan Songqing loved to have fun, and Mu Zhou didn't want to make her feel wronged because of him.
So she quietly got up and texted herself and Xu Ruyuan as she walked.
I'm leaving now, you guys have fun.
Mu Zhou was afraid he would drink today, so he didn't drive.
Fortunately, it's relatively easy to get a taxi here.
However, as soon as she stepped out, she saw that Song Chuyu had followed her.
"Shall we go? Let's go together."
Mu Zhou was surprised that he noticed that he was leaving.
I was about to say I didn't need him to take me, but then I thought about it again. He didn't know many people here, and he probably didn't want to stay any longer, so I said:
"That's troublesome."
As the two were walking out of the courtyard, a voice tinged with anger rang out behind them.
"Mu Zhou."
Mu Zhou paused and turned around.
Sure enough, it was Qin Zheng who caught up.
