Chapter 209 New Love

Then I took the car back to the rental room. It was already 12: 00 at night. Hu Zi should be asleep. I didn't want to disturb him. Now he didn't know I was back.

He took off his clothes and lay down on the bed, covering himself in bed.

Darkness, like endless darkness.

The darkness reassured me, because no one could see my sin, my ugliness.

In the dark, I curled up and breathed heavily. It took me a long time to calm down.

I lay in bed and couldn't sleep at all, because the thought that Guzheng and I would be a couple tomorrow made me feel bad.

Then, I took out my wallet again and couldn't help but look at Ding Ge's picture.

This photo has been in my wallet for a long time.

Can I really put Ding Ge down completely?

I couldn't help but ask myself.

I stared at Ding Ge's face and the bitterness in my heart filled my chest. At this moment, I suddenly felt that I really didn't deserve to put Ding Ge's photo in my wallet, because I was going to be Guzheng's boyfriend tomorrow. Although it was fake, no one knew except us. Ding Ge would also think that our relationship was real. This time, it was completely different from the previous lie!

Then, how could I put Ding Ge's photo in my wallet!

I wanted to put Ding Ge's photo back in the box that belonged to Ding Ge and me.

But for some reason, I didn't do that. Maybe there was still a trace of delusion in my heart. I put the picture back in the wallet's secret folder, a secret that no one else knew except me.

Guzheng wouldn't know either.

Since I'm the only one who knows, what's wrong with putting it here?

Let me leave one last thought behind, or I really don't know how to continue my journey.

It felt like I was back when I lost my love. I was in a daze, aimless, and dead. But I knew I couldn't be like that anymore. I had to adjust myself and return to my busy work.

The next day, I went back to my usual routine, got out of bed, and went to the bathroom to wash up.

At this time, Hu Zi also came out of his room, looked at me in surprise and asked, "Damn, when did you come back?"

"Last night, but I came back late. You might be asleep. I didn't tell you."

"Why didn't you tell me?"

I was a little confused, because Hu Zi's expression was a little awkward. I smiled and said nonchalantly, "Aren't you asleep?"

"Oh."

"What's wrong with you?" I think Hu Zi is a little weird and guilty.

"Nothing." Hu Zi smiled at me and went back to the bedroom.

Strange?

Something must be wrong!

After a while, I finally knew what was wrong. Hu Zi came out of the bedroom, and then another girl came out of Hu Zi's bedroom. Although her clothes were neat, her hair was obviously a lot messy. She kept brushing her hair with her hands, but her face was still a little embarrassed.

Xiaoyi!

Damn!

I was so shocked that my jaw was about to drop. I looked at Xiaoyi, the waiter of our Xingyun hotel, and then at Hu Zi. My eyes were round and I couldn't speak.

They came out of the same room?

What's going on here?

It was obvious that Xiaoyi spent the night in Hu Zi's room last night!

I won't believe it if I say they didn't do anything!

Seeing that I was staring at the two of them, Xiaoyi was even more embarrassed. His whole face turned red and he lowered his head slightly, not daring to look at me.

Hu Zi, on the other hand, was calmer and said, "My eyes are falling off."

"No, what happened to you two? I've only been away for a few days, and you two hooked up." I smiled.

In fact, seeing that Hu Zi could have a new relationship, she was really happy for her.

He had suffered enough from Li Xiaowei's betrayal before.

"Just a few days." Hu Zi sat on the sofa.

Xiaoyi still blushed and smiled sheepishly. He said to Hu Zi and me, "I'm going home first."

Hu Zi nodded.

Xiaoyi and I were pretty familiar, so I couldn't help but joke, "No, I haven't seen you for a week. I miss you so much. I'll see you later."

Xiaoyi only smiled foolishly, but she could tell that she was very happy, but she still opened the door in a hurry and went downstairs.

I looked at Hu Zi again and smiled, "That was fast enough!"

"Okay, that's all." Hu Zi said nonchalantly.

"That's right."

I nodded. After all, I was in the Xingyun hotel every day. It was not surprising that I raised my head and developed feelings.

"Let's go out and eat something."

"Sure."

Hu Zi stood up from the sofa.

Then we went downstairs and Hu Zi drove the car. The two of them went to the breakfast stand and ordered two bowls of porridge and steamed buns.

I asked about the hotel, and Hu Zi replied that everything was fine. The event went well, and we had no fewer customers than before. I was relieved to hear that. I was afraid that the bald man would have a bad impact on the restaurant when he asked for the bill. Now it seems that I was thinking too much.

Hu Zi also said that it was getting closer and closer to the new year. Many people came back from other places. Pucheng was much more lively than before, so he wanted to hire another chef. He was waiting for me to come back to discuss it. I nodded and said that we should discuss it when we saw Old Gao.

At this moment, Hu Zi said to me, "By the way, Xing Yun, can you keep a secret about me and Xiaoyi?"

I raised an eyebrow and looked at Hu Zi, not knowing what was going on with Hu Zi. Everyone else was willing to share a love with a friend. I asked, "Why are you keeping it a secret?"

"No, that's what Xiaoyi meant." Hu Zi explained, "You know, I'm the owner of the restaurant. She's a waitress. This... She's afraid that people will say that she's a rich man or something. She's afraid that people will talk about her, and I'll say that she is. What's wrong with that, but she cares. So no one else knows about our relationship. Just keep it a secret for us."

I nodded. In that case, let's keep it a secret for them.

After dinner, the two of them went back to the restaurant.

When she arrived at the restaurant, she was very happy to see everyone. She hadn't seen them for a week, and everyone still looked the same, but Old Gao seemed to be in a somewhat negative state.

Alas, he could only slow down. It was useless to be persuaded about feelings.

It was past ten in the morning, and there were no guests at the restaurant. Everyone was still relatively leisurely, so we chatted while working.

Not long after the meeting, a man walked into the restaurant.

But it doesn't look like he's here for dinner. Besides, he seems to know everyone. I'm a little confused. Who is this person?

However, this man walked up to his cousin and greeted her. And when I saw that his gaze at her seemed a little different, I couldn't help but look at her. Her cousin was quite calm, no different, just saw me staring at her and giving me a white look.

The man started talking to his cousin.

I wonder, what's going on?

At this time, Jiang Yan saw this man also say hello to the man, then he came over, and then walked to me, and said to the man, "This is jiaqi's cousin, Xing Yun."

The man smiled politely at me and at the same time took out a cigarette from the cigarette case and handed it to me.

"This is my friend, Liu Sheng."

I also smiled at Liu Sheng, then reached out to reject his cigarette and said, "I don't smoke."

"Did you just come back today?" Liu Sheng chatted politely with me.

It seemed that he should know about my return home. I replied, "No, I came up last night, but I didn't come to the restaurant."

Liu Sheng smiled. He seemed to be a bit of a bad talker. He was a more honest man.

After a brief chat, my cousin and Liu Sheng went back to the backyard. I asked Jiang Yan, "What's going on? I've been away for a few days. What happened?"

Jiang Yan also frowned and said with some doubt, "I don't know either. After you left, your sister found me and said that she wanted to see the friend I told you about last time. I wanted to say so, so I arranged for them to have a meal, and then they started talking."

Just like Jiang Yan, I was confused. I remember when my cousin told me that she didn't want to fall in love anymore, how did her attitude change? I'll have to ask her later.

But this week after I left, a lot of things happened!

Cousin has a new boyfriend, and Hu Zi and Xiaoyi are together. The world is changing so fast!

Liu Sheng didn't stay in the hotel much and left shortly after the meeting.

After he left, I couldn't wait to come to my cousin. I smiled and asked, "Why didn't you tell me?"

"There's nothing to say." Cousin replied calmly.

"How is it?" I continued to ask with a smile.

"That's it." Perhaps it was the last marriage that made my cousin too tired. My cousin didn't seem to be too happy.

I asked, "Didn't you agree when I said I would introduce you? Why do you agree now?"

Cousin sighed and said helplessly, "Not yet your aunt, my mother!"

It seemed that my aunt forced her to compromise again. But cousin really can't be alone all the time, so it's better to settle down as soon as possible.

But it's okay to compromise on a blind date, but I don't want my cousin to compromise on her feelings. I still want her to get a better relationship.

I had no choice but to say for my aunt, "She's doing it for your own good."

Cousin curled her lips, as if she didn't want to say anything more.

"I think Liu Sheng is okay. Let's just take a look at the first part." I said to my cousin.

Her cousin nodded, and her choice to meet Liu Sheng naturally gave way. It would be a good thing if the two of them did succeed, and it would be the end of a wish in my aunt's heart.

After a while, another figure came to the restaurant.

This time, it was Guzheng!
