Yang Cheng really didn't know about this, but when he thought about Zhenxiu's stubborn personality, he didn't find it strange.
Although the girl didn't regard him as an outsider anymore after being enlightened, she still wanted to be independent, so it wasn't a big deal for her to go out and work.
Speaking of which, ever since Park Jonghyun left, the Starmoon Group in Korea had lost contact with them. He didn't know what was going on with the old chairman. Perhaps Zhenxiu's stubbornness had forced them to give up.
Guo Xuehua heard about this and said, "Yang Cheng, since you have nothing to do today, why don't you pick Zhenxiu up later? It's not safe for a girl to take the public bus at night."
"It's fine, how can a normal man defeat Zhenxiu?" Yang Cheng smiled.
Guo Xuehua glared at him, "Will I lose a piece of flesh if I let you pick her up? If Ruoxi is free, she will definitely go. "
Yang Cheng was speechless and could only nod. It was nothing much, he just felt that since Zhenxiu was going to work, she should look like she was working. After she was done, there would be a car to pick her up, which didn't match.
After dinner, he watched TV for an hour. Yang Cheng saw that it was almost time, so he drove to the seaside restaurant that Guo Xuehua mentioned to pick up Zhenxiu.
Because it was the hottest time of the year, the seaside business was especially good. During the day, tourists would play in the water, and at night, there would be a large number of people eating seafood at the seaside food stalls.
Under the tranquil night sky, a row of planted palms swayed their huge branches in the wind. The pale golden beach appeared especially quiet and soft under the yellow light curtain.
After Yang Cheng parked the car, he enjoyed the sea breeze while humming a tune, looking for the signs of various food stalls. The air was filled with the faint smell of burning smoke.
After walking for a mile, he finally found the seaside barbecue stall where Zhenxiu worked at the south side of the beach.
Under a makeshift shelter, Zhenxiu, who was wearing an old yellow dress and an apron full of oil stains, had her hair tied up in a ponytail. She was wiping the tables that the guests had eaten on with a rag.
Although it was windy by the sea, the girl's forehead was covered in sweat from exertion.
After wiping the last table, the girl raised her head and caught a glimpse of Yang Cheng outside the shed. She was stunned for a moment before she waved happily. "Brother Yang, why are you here?"
Yang Cheng walked into the shed and looked around. "Mom asked me to pick you up. She said that she was worried about a girl taking the bus. Why are you alone? Where's your boss? "
Zhenxiu smiled strangely, "The boss and the other two brothers and sisters went to drink. I'll finish wiping these things. I can leave when they come back."
When Yang Cheng heard this, he immediately understood the meaning behind it. His face darkened as he said, "Did they bully you and purposely give you the dirty work?"
"It's nothing. I'm here to work anyway." Zhenxiu smiled.
Yang Cheng frowned and snatched the rag from Zhenxiu's hands. He threw it away and said, "Stop it and go home with Brother Yang. Your family treats you like a treasure. Why should they bully you? If Mother Wang and the others knew that you were being bullied like this, they would definitely have smoke coming out of their heads. "
Zhenxiu's face was filled with anxiety. She picked up the rag from the ground and pouted, "Brother Yang, why are you like this? What's the big deal? I'm just a student working, not the boss. What's so strange about being assigned more work? Which company in society doesn't treat newcomers like this? Didn't I work to get in touch with society? "
"I … You. You mean, I'm wrong? It's good for them to bully you?! "Yang Cheng was depressed.
Zhenxiu said angrily, "Of course! I'm not too happy that they bullied me, but this is reality! Brother Yang, do you think everyone is like you? You're so capable that you can be unrestrained and do whatever you want? No one can provoke you and no one can order you? We ordinary people don't have so many privileges. It's already good enough that the boss is willing to give me a student's salary. Don't tell me that I'm here to enjoy it?
Yang Cheng bared his teeth, feeling a little conflicted after being lectured, "Little girl, since when is it your turn to lecture me?"
Zhenxiu was like a reservoir that had its floodgates opened. She continued to snort lightly, "So what if I'm lecturing you? You're not even that much older than me, calling me 'girl' and 'little girl' all day long. I'm already in university! In ancient times, I could be the mother of three children at this age! Do you really think I'm a child? In terms of days in society, you're not as long as me. When I was selling fried rice cakes on the street, you didn't even know how to grill mutton skewers. Stop lecturing me! "
Yang Cheng only felt that his head was about to explode. Why didn't he realize that this girl was so eloquent before?
"What's wrong? Can't say anything?" Zhenxiu said disdainfully, "No wonder sister Ruoxi is always angered to death by you. If it was me, with such a husband, I can't stand it either … You're always so self-centered. Do you really think that your logic is the only logic and others' logic is bullshit? I'm magnanimous not to argue with you. I'm arguing with you because you're too full of yourself! "
Yang Cheng opened his eyes wide and pointed at Zhenxiu. His hands were trembling, "You, you, you … Are you really Zhenxiu?"
Zhenxiu put her hands on her hips and said angrily, "I didn't want to say so much, but when I saw sister Ruoxi so sad, I couldn't help it!
Do you know how long sister Ruoxi waited for you last night!? Two in the morning! If I didn't go downstairs to drink water and wake her up, she might have caught a cold! She was alone on the sofa without even a blanket. Why did you run away without a trace and didn't even call your wife? You want your wife to suffer!?
You're a man, you should be busy. If you have the ability to go around flirting with women, why can't you take care of your wife!? You're a useless stupid man who thinks he's so great! I think sister Ruoxi should just divorce you! Since she's still young, the line of men who want to marry her can go all the way to the mouth of the Yangtze River! "
Yang Cheng stared blankly at Zhenxiu, who was reprimanding him in a tender voice. At first, he was depressed and angry, then he was at a loss, and now, he felt guilty and regretful …
After thinking for a while, Yang Cheng sighed and asked, "Ruoxi, she … really waited until two in the morning?"
"Why would I lie to you!? If sister Ruoxi didn't tell me, I wouldn't even know that you didn't go home! Even if you went out to do something, is it difficult to make a phone call on the way? "Zhenxiu seemed to feel that her tone was too heavy, so she said it slowly.
In Yang Cheng's mind, Lin Ruoxi's cold face and angry words from that afternoon appeared. He couldn't help but feel sour in his heart, and a warm feeling flowed through his veins.
Sighing, Yang Cheng smiled bitterly and said, "You're right, I have a pig's brain."
Seeing that Yang Cheng was full of self-blame, Zhenxiu couldn't bear it, so she grabbed her apron and said with her head down, "Actually … brother Yang, you don't have to be too sad. I know that you actually love sister Ruoxi very much, but the environment you grew up in made you more casual about a lot of things. And sister Ruoxi grew up in a very serious environment. One of you is casual, and the other is serious, so of course there will be all kinds of conflicts … But you've been through so much together, even if you quarrel, you'll still have each other in your heart. Otherwise, sister Ruoxi wouldn't have waited for you so worriedly at night, and you wouldn't be as sad as you are now. "
Yang Cheng's eyes flashed with a few traces of complex emotions. After a moment of silence, he walked up to Zhenxiu.
Zhenxiu raised her head, not understanding what Yang Cheng's gaze meant.
Suddenly, Yang Cheng reached out his hand and touched the girl's head.
"Xu Zhenxiu, this is the last time I'll touch your head like an elder. I won't touch you like this in the future." Yang Cheng smiled warmly.
Zhenxiu was a little dazed, not knowing what was going on.
"From tonight onwards, you have truly become the Miss Xu Zhenxiu in my heart. Not a little girl, not a little girl, but Ms. Xu Zhenxiu, who is a few years younger than me …" Yang Cheng sighed with emotion.
Zhenxiu stared blankly at Yang Cheng. After a long while, she smiled sweetly, her pure face like a lily blooming.
"Brother Yang, are you planning to chase after me?"
"What!?" Yang Cheng lost his voice and shouted, "Little girl, don't get carried away!"
"You … You just said that I'm not a girl!" Zhenxiu screamed.
Yang Cheng hurriedly covered his mouth and laughed awkwardly, "Hehe, a slip of the tongue, a slip of the tongue …" Sister Zhenxiu, quickly tidy up and leave after you're done. If you're late, Mom and the others will be worried again. "
Zhenxiu wrinkled her nose in annoyance, then turned around and continued to tidy up.
Yang Cheng couldn't help but be absent-minded as he looked at the girl's swaying ponytail and her slender, round, and white legs.
