The Three-Life Stone

Chapter 102 Shen Fu

After teaching the man a lesson, Shen Xingzhi glanced back, nodded, and left with Yu Zhaozhao.

After the dance, everyone gathered in groups of three or four to chat, and Shen Xingzhi was no exception. He organized this farewell party, and all his close partners and brothers came to attend. This was a good opportunity for them to get to know Yu Zhaozhao.

Yu Zhaozhao greeted them and then sat quietly in the corner. At this time, a brother asked, "Brother Shen, is this settled? Is it locked in?" The others also echoed the general topic.

Shen Xingzhi naturally knew that they were thinking about him. He knew this between men. Since they had made a choice, they had to give it affirmation.

He nodded seriously. "Yes, maybe in your opinion, I should find someone younger and of equal status. But I never care about two big families, because this is just a matter between her and me. Maybe you think she is lonely and not good at socializing, but I understand her. She has her own world, so she doesn't need that."

Seeing how determined he was, everyone's approval of him increased, and the matter was dropped. If anyone mentioned it again, it would only be a private topic of conversation among a few people. Even the best brothers can only analyze the pros and cons for you, but cannot decide for you.

After that, everyone chatted about daily life. Shen Xingzhi's eyes were always vaguely looking towards Yu Zhaozhao's position. After seeing the man, he greeted everyone present and immediately stood up to help.

On the way back, Shen Xingzhi was still thinking about Yu Zhaozhao's little world.

Her circle is very small, and all the information she gets is from the Internet or from colleagues. She doesn't follow any particular stars or TV series, and won't discuss these with others. Apart from the things she is learning, other information is basically obtained through 2G network.

Shen Xingzhi has an inherent impression of Yu Zhaozhao that she is always a step behind in everything, but she is very kind in her little world. In the eyes of outsiders, she is not good at socializing, does not make friends widely, and is taciturn, so in the eyes of outsiders, she is lonely, inconspicuous, and ignored, but he knows.

He knew that having too many friends might make him overwhelmed. It was true that having more friends meant having more paths, but there weren't many such reliable friends, and sometimes they were not as reliable as a stranger. He knew that Yu Zhaozhao didn't really think all this through, and that it was her nature that made her show that side of herself, but was there any harm in that?

No.

She has few friends, flowers, plants and trees are all her friends; she is taciturn, but there are thousands of little people chattering in her mind; she is unknown, so she can get more freedom.

Life is her own, she is not lonely. Most importantly, outsiders are one-sided, who can know a person's full picture? Is she really inconspicuous? Is she really taciturn? Shen Xingzhi never felt that way. If she has a world, then does he also have a world when he comes in?

Shen Xingzhi hadn't spoken a word during the whole journey. Yu Zhaozhao didn't know if something had gone wrong. "What's wrong? Did something happen?"

Shen Xingzhi's thoughts drifted away from the bits and pieces that had happened since he met Yu Zhaozhao many years ago, and he pretended that the sky had fallen: "Yes, it's a big deal."

Yu Zhaozhao was a little anxious: "What's the matter?"

"With you, I feel like I own the world."

She relaxed and smiled, and he calmed down and felt better.

After returning home, Yu Zhaozhao prepared to take a shower first, to wash away the sweat from the day and the smell of perfume and tobacco from the party. As soon as she took off her clothes, Shen Xingzhi came over and said, "Let's take a shower together."

She nodded with a slightly red face. She was still a little embarrassed when both of them took off their clothes. They used the same shower gel on their naked bodies. Shen Xingzhi rubbed the bath ball, and soon the bath ball was covered with rich bubbles.

He rubbed the bath ball on Yu Zhaozhao's body. She felt a tingling sensation as the bath ball slid across her skin. She didn't know if it was because the air in the bathroom was not well circulated, but Yu Zhaozhao's skin turned a little red under the heat. She looked at Shen Xingzhi's fair and healthy body and gradually became bolder.

The bullet is empty and reloaded.

Yu Zhaozhao never thought that two days later Shen Xingzhi's father would call her and ask to meet. She didn't know where Shen Fu got the number, but if someone wanted to know the number, it must be easy. Since the other party had asked first, Yu Zhaozhao discussed with Shen Xingzhi and decided to go and see.

Shen Fu chose a French restaurant. After Yu Zhaozhao arrived at the location, she looked at the doorplate and secretly thanked herself for choosing to wear more dressy clothes in order to meet his parents. She didn't want to embarrass Shen Xingzhi.

When the waiter led Yu Zhaozhao to her seat, Shen Fu had already ordered the meal and appetizer bread was already on the table.

"Hello, Miss Yu."

"Hello Uncle Shen."

"I am Shen Fu, the father of Shen Xingzhi. If you call me uncle, then I have to tell you clearly that you and Shen Xingzhi are not suitable for each other."

Yu Zhaozhao had been waiting for Shen Fuxian to eat out of respect for her elders. Her expression did not change when she heard this, but her unhappiness could be felt in her breathing. She put the handkerchief on her legs, picked up the bread and was ready to eat it directly, but when she thought of Shen Xingzhi, she tore off a small piece, put some butter on it, and slowly put it into her mouth.

The waiter then brought steak and other food. Each dish looked good, but the portion was a little off. Yu Zhaozhao really wanted to taste it, but Shen Fu didn't seem to be here to eat and kept looking at her, which made her lose her appetite.

Yu Zhaozhao wiped the corner of her mouth unhappily and took a sip of wine. She wanted to sigh that the taste was good and wanted to express her approval of these dishes. After taking a deep breath, she thought that delicious food should not be wasted. No matter what Shen Fu's intention was, she should enjoy the food.

Shen Fu's inappropriate voice came out again: "You are not worthy of Shen Xingzhi."

"I wonder what else Uncle Shen wants to say?"

"Miss Yu seems to have some misunderstanding about me. I called you here today to have a good talk. I know you don't really need a lot of money, but I can compensate you a little. It would be nice not to have to work for the rest of your life. Yu Le's grades are pretty good, so we can recommend him to the Academy for Nobles."

"Uncle Shen doesn't think it's that easy for me to take advantage of him."

"of course."

This made Yu Zhaozhao feel a little dramatic, and he thought of some old-fashioned plots. Yu Zhaozhao smiled and wiped his mouth: "I'm going to the bathroom first."

In the bathroom, Yu Zhaozhao mocked loudly and called Shen Xingzhi.

"Is he playing the role of a domineering CEO? It's so funny. I didn't expect this kind of plot to really exist. Life is like drama."

"What is he thinking? He is trying to put me off with something that is not in my life plan. How can I be tempted by things that come without any effort? I just feel sorry for the food."

"Hey, I plan to sneak away when he's not paying attention. What do you think?"

Yu Zhaozhao was about to slip away after coming out of the bathroom when she bumped into someone. They both said "sorry" to each other and walked away. Only when she walked onto the street did she feel relaxed both physically and mentally.

I stretched and rubbed my stomach, my mouth pursed and I still felt sorry for the food, so I decided to use magic to defeat magic - let's go eat Malatang, the spicy kind.

Walking into an alley, she saw a spicy hotpot restaurant often eaten by students. Yu Le said that the food tasted good and the price was relatively affordable, so she took the opportunity to have a good meal. When she was paying, she realized that her cell phone was missing.

Yu Zhaozhao asked the boss for his phone number. There was nothing to be embarrassed about at this time. What was important was paying the money and finding the phone.

When I called my own cell phone, it was turned off. When I called Shen Xingzhi's cell phone, it was connected. A cold voice came from the other end: "Who?"

"Xingzhi, I lost my phone. I'm at the Malatang."

"Ten minutes, you eat first."

When Shen Xingzhi came, Yu Zhaozhao was eating meatballs and vermicelli slowly. She was afraid that it would be awkward for her to sit there and wait after she finished eating, so Shen Xingzhi ordered the same set meal, paid the bill, and then came to the seat.

"You're finally here. I clearly remembered that my phone was in my pocket, but I don't know how it disappeared. I'll have to go back and look for it later."

"No need to look for it. Here, a new phone."

"It's a cell phone after all. I don't remember the account passwords. What if the information inside is used by someone with ulterior motives..."

"There's no need to look for your phone. I've reported all your accounts lost for you. I'll get them back later. Just change your phone number to this one."

Shen Xingzhi opened his phone and handed it to Yu Zhaozhao, who was stunned.
