What?
It was a success?
Old Wu had agreed?
Zhang Ye perked up. He could not believe what he had heard from Old Wu. Even if he had confessed to her, even if he knew that pursuing Wu Zeqing was his only chance under the reduced difficulty by five times. Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to do so after the time limit was lowered. However, this fellow did not hold too much hope. After all, be it their personalities, their age, or their jobs, it would not be an exaggeration to say that they were from two completely different worlds. Dating? Perhaps they would never meet again, which was why Zhang Ye blurted out that "Zen of the Stone Bridge."
This originated from an allusion.
Or rather, it originated from a story from Zhang Ye's previous world.
Ananda — One of the ten disciples of Buddha. His full name was Ananda, which meant joy, celebration, and untainted. He was Buddha's cousin and had been a regular disciple of Buddha for more than 20 years after he became a monk. He had a good memory and could recite the teachings of Buddha clearly, which was why he was known as the most knowledgeable person. Ananda was born with good looks. His face was like a full moon, his eyes like a green lotus, and his body was as clean as a mirror. Although he had become a monk, he was still repeatedly seduced by women.
One day.
Ananda said to Buddha, "I fell in love with a woman."
Buddha asked Ananda, "How much do you like this woman?"
Ananda said, "I am willing to become a stone bridge and endure the wind, the sun, and the rain for 500 years, just so that she can cross the bridge."
How much would he like her?
But to fall in love at first sight for a lifetime?
But to wait without asking for anything in return?
You understand all of this, but you are still willing to endure the pain of fate just because of that encounter.
Ananda, how much do you like the woman who crosses the bridge to make you give up your Dao and suffer the pain of love?
This was the full text of the allusion. In his previous world, there was a very famous movie that also used this line. When Zhang Ye heard Wu Zeqing ask "how much do I like her," he reflexively recited this Zen. He had indeed thought so in his heart. He liked this gentle and beautiful woman very much, so he rushed up to confess to her. But who would have thought that Wu Zeqing would actually agree to it?
Unbelievable!
Other than disbelief, there was nothing else to believe!
Zhang Ye was so happy that he was beaming. "Are you serious, Sis Wu?"
Wu Zeqing said gently, "Hur hur, didn't I already say so?"
"Don't try to fool me. Do you think I'll take it seriously?" Zhang Ye was so excited that his heart was about to beat out of his chest. He could not help it, as the surprise had come too suddenly. It was so sudden that Zhang Ye found it unreal.
She replied, "Yeah, I'm serious."
Zhang Ye slapped his thigh. "Alright!"
Wu Zeqing turned around and touched the mouse, "Let me first take a look at the new chapter of 'Legend of Wukong'." Then she started reading.
Zhang Ye did not disturb her from the side. He was thinking to himself, Is this the power of the reduced difficulty by five times, or is this the power of "Zen of the Stone Bridge"? As for the specific reason, Wu Zeqing did not say, so Zhang Ye had no way of finding out. It was probably due to both reasons!
That was great!
After living for more than 20 years, I finally have a girlfriend!
Moreover, it was such an earth-shattering woman? If word of this got out, it would scare a lot of people to death!
Five minutes.
Ten minutes.
After a while, Zhang Ye's excitement had not calmed down yet. His heart was still beating wildly. Looking at Wu Zeqing's profile, the more he looked at her, the more he liked her. The more he looked at her, the more infatuated he became. He could not help but pick up the box of chocolates that one of Old Wu's suitors had given him. Without asking for Old Wu's permission, he opened the packaging without a word and started eating it.
Old Wu heard him and looked over, "Why are you eating chocolate so early in the morning? It's too high in calories. Eat less of it. It's not good for your body. "
Zhang Ye waved his hand, "You want a piece?"
She did not take it and said, "It's too sweet."
"It's not that I want to eat it." Zhang Ye picked up another piece and threw it into his mouth, eating it quickly. "Since you are my girlfriend now, the chocolate that my love rival gave you is my trophy."
She smiled and said, "If you want to eat it, you can take it."
Zhang Ye asked, "Are you done reading it?"
"Yes, I'm done." She said.
"How was it?" Zhang Ye asked expectantly.
She nodded, "It was very good. Big Sis had thought of writing a novel in the past, but after reading your book, I realized that I don't have the talent for it."
But Zhang Ye did not think so, "You are too humble. With your literary attainments, you are more than qualified to write a novel."
"Don't keep calling me 'you'." She suddenly said.
Zhang Ye said, "Alright, then I will call you 'you' in the future." With a slight pause, he chuckled and said, "Then, how should I address you in the future?"
She smiled, "It doesn't matter. You can call me anything."
Zhang Ye blinked, "Would it be a little awkward to call me Sis Wu?"
She smiled lightly, "What do you want to call me?"
"Why don't I call you Old Wu? It sounds more intimate," Zhang Ye said.
Wu Zeqing noticed that his collar seemed to be crooked, so she reached over to help him straighten it. Then she pulled out a strand of his hair that had gotten messy. Her actions were very natural and she did not find it inappropriate at all, "Whatever, Old Wu it is. Hur Hur, go ahead."
Zhang Ye did not move and just sat there to let Wu Zeqing adjust his clothes and hair. He closed his eyes and enjoyed Old Wu's thoughtfulness and gentleness.
"Old Wu."
"Yes?"
"Shall we go out for a walk?"
"Where do you want to go?"
"The park, hiking, anywhere is fine. Didn't you want to go on a trip during the new year? Let's go around Beijing and treat it as a holiday. It's Valentine's Day today, so don't stay at home."
"Didn't you say that you don't celebrate foreigners' holidays?"
"Eh, did I say that?"
"… I think you did."
"Ahem, then let's not treat it as Valentine's Day. Let's just go out and have some fun."
"Sure."
"Alright, let's go then!"
"I'll change my clothes."
"Then I'll take a shower."
Just like that, it was decided after some discussion.
The last time he stayed at Wu Zeqing's place, the water heater in the guest bedroom was broken and there was no hot water. Old Wu did not bother to fix it, so Zhang Ye had to take a shower in the bathroom in Wu Zeqing's room. He showered very quickly and did not spend much time in the bath. After washing his hair and applying some body wash, he put on his clothes and came out. It took him at most eight to nine minutes.
When he came out of the bathroom, Zhang Ye saw a scene that made his nose bleed. Wu Zeqing was still changing her clothes. There were three or four sets of women's clothing on the table, as well as some lingerie. It looked like Old Wu had not decided on what to wear and had probably tried on a couple of outfits. At this moment, Old Wu was sitting on the bed and putting on a pair of pants. She had put on a pair of white casual pants on her left thigh and left her long, fair leg exposed. As she sat on the bed, even her underwear was exposed to Zhang Ye. It was a pair of flesh-colored briefs with dark flowers embroidered on it. As for Old Wu's upper body, other than a similar style of flesh-colored bra, she was not wearing anything else.
Zhang Ye coughed and said, "Then, I'll go out first. You can change."
Wu Zeqing did not feel awkward at all and continued putting on her pants. She said calmly, "It's fine. You can help Big Sis decide what to wear."
"OK!" Zhang Ye immediately agreed.
He had seen Old Wu's clothes many times when he took pictures of her, so he was not unaccustomed to it.
Zhang Ye rummaged through her wardrobe and finally got Wu Zeqing to take off her pants. "I still prefer the way you look in a qipao. It looks really good and even looks classic."
She nodded and said, "Then I'll wear a qipao."
"Sure, will this do?" Zhang Ye took out a white one with red or green flowers embroidered on it.
"Sure, the temperature today is still alright. It shouldn't be cold if I wear a jacket." She took it and looked at it, then slowly put it on. However, she did not put on the qipao first. Instead, she got Zhang Ye to help her find a pair of flesh-colored pantyhose and put it on before putting on the qipao. She did not avoid Zhang Ye's lustful gaze at all.
Zhang Ye was very satisfied. He had satisfied his eye craving.
… …
In the car.
The two of them left the district and headed straight for the suburbs.
While in the car, Wu Zeqing found a pair of sunglasses and put them on. Zhang Ye did the same, but was even more restricted. Not only did he put on sunglasses, he even put on a face mask. After all, the two of them were of unusual statuses. One was an official and the other was a celebrity, so they naturally had to be a little more discreet. They couldn't just go out together casually. That would only bring trouble to themselves. If they were really seen by others, they wouldn't be able to play in peace.
It was Old Wu who drove. As they had considered that the roads in the suburbs might not be easy to drive on, they also drove Zhang Ye's X5 off-road vehicle. This car was much more adaptable than Old Wu's BMW.
Zhang Ye sat in the front passenger seat and kept glancing at Wu Zeqing from time to time. He felt like he was in a dream and that it was a little surreal.
He had actually managed to hook up with Old Wu!
How many lifetimes of good fortune did he have!?
People were not always contented. Naturally, Zhang Ye thought of how he would not be able to see her in a few more days, so he suddenly said, "Old Wu, are you really leaving?"
She smiled gently and said, "I'll wait for your notice."
Zhang Ye smacked his lips and said, "Why don't you not go to the South? Peking University is so nice. You can just stay there."
"The organization's requests can't be changed just because you want to." There was a red light in front of them. She slowly stopped the car and said, "Actually, Big Sis doesn't really want to leave either. She's used to staying in Beijing."
Zhang Ye said, "Then why don't you mention it to the organization? It wasn't easy for the two of us to finally fall in love. We haven't even been together for two days and we have to go our separate ways?"
Wu Zeqing reached out and patted Zhang Ye's thigh lightly. "The appointment hasn't been announced yet, so it's not certain. Don't talk about it anymore. Let's just have a good time today."
Zhang Ye sighed and glanced at her hand on his thigh. He coughed and reached out to touch the back of Wu Zeqing's hand.
Wu Zeqing continued driving and did not react.
Zhang Ye knew what was going on. He moved his hand and grabbed Old Wu's hand.
Old Wu did not look at him and just stared ahead.
However, Zhang Ye could feel that the warm and beautiful hand on his palm also slowly tightened. She also grabbed his hand. Her skin was very soft and her bones were not burping.
It was really comfortable.
Zhang Ye's heart skipped a beat. What happiness!
