Capítulo 41

The culprit has long since disappeared.

Hearing voices, the waitress in the lake shouted with all her might, "Help!"

Then I choked even more.

Hearing someone shout for help, Zhou Zhou felt the person holding him loosen their grip. Seizing the opportunity, Zhou Zhou scrambled up and rushed out as if his life depended on it. Before jumping into the water, he didn't forget to take out his phone and throw it onto the grass.

Every now and then, a waitress was pulled back to the lakeside. Zhou Zhou called out to her twice, and when she couldn't be woken up, he immediately began CPR on her.

The man who had just pinned Zhou Zhou down stood there dumbfounded, watching the two of them nervously. He had just delayed saving her; what if, what if the girl didn't wake up? Wouldn't he become a murderer?

Fortunately, the waitress woke up in time, vomited some water from the lake, and began coughing violently.

People in the hall heard the commotion and, as the news spread, a large crowd gathered in this direction.

This includes the supervisor responsible for managing the waiters.

"What's wrong with you? The service area is in the lobby this time. What are you doing by the lake?!" The supervisor noticed Zhou Zhou, who was soaking wet. He knew that everyone who came here was rich and powerful, and fearing that he would get into trouble, he directly questioned the waitress.

Seeing that the young girl was completely bewildered and that her supervisor's lips were trembling as she didn't know what to say, Zhou Zhou felt a pang of sympathy and stopped her, "Why don't you listen to what she has to say first?"

Someone spoke up for the waitress, and the manager, knowing he couldn't afford to offend anyone present, immediately lowered his stance and nodded, saying, "Yes, yes, I'm listening."

Zhou Zhou nodded, then asked softly, "You remember everything, right?"

Seeing the waitress nod timidly, Zhou Zhou smiled and patted her shoulder, "Talk to your boss and make things clear."

After Zhou Zhou finished speaking, he stood up, spilling water all over the floor. He was completely soaked, looking extremely disheveled.

The people around him were talking, but Zhou Zhou pretended not to hear them. Before he had taken two steps, Fu Hengzhi stood in front of him with a dark face.

"..." Zhou Zhou didn't know what to say. He vaguely remembered that the other person had told him not to run around. He lowered his head and said sincerely, "I'm sorry."

Fu Hengzhi's pent-up anger vanished with an apology from the other party.

But she couldn't help but scold him, "Are you really that impulsive? I remember you can't swim. Do you even know how deep the water is before you jump in?"

Neither the original owner nor Zhou Zhou could swim. Fortunately, the water was not deep, only up to their chests, and Zhou Zhou walked in and walked out.

Just after leaving the hospital, Fu Hengzhi rushed over after hearing the commotion, genuinely worried that the other person would be sent back for another two weeks.

Knowing that the other person was worried about me, a warm feeling welled up in my heart for no reason.

Zhou Zhou looked up and grinned, "I'll be more careful next time."

"Well, I have a few clean new clothes. Why don't you come to my room and change?" The man who had almost delayed Zhou Zhou's rescue attempt quickly tried to salvage the situation.

Being wet is really uncomfortable, and Zhou Zhou is worried about getting the car dirty since she will be riding in Fu Hengzhi's car later.

He said apologetically, "Thank you for your help."

Fu Hengzhi hummed in agreement, having no objection. "Thank you for your trouble, Young Master Li."

Li Shao is the eldest son of the Li family patriarch. The Li family patriarch had a lot of adventures when he was young, but in the end, only two sons settled down. One is Li Qingjie, who is standing in front of me, and the other is the protagonist of today's full moon banquet.

Zhou Zhou was led by Li Qingjie from outside to a small door on the second floor. The small door led to the end of the second-floor corridor, where they could still hear the loud conversations in the hall below.

Zhou Zhou and Fu Hengzhi followed Li Qingjie into the dressing room. After entering, Li Qingjie opened several cabinets without a specific purpose before finding a set of clothes with the tags still on, and then took out a new towel.

"Brother... Madam Fu." Li Qingjie quickly corrected himself, feeling as if the president of the Fu family had looked at him with eyes that could tear him apart. "You can use this to dry yourself. I, I..." Li Qingjie looked guilty and scratched his head, unable to find the words he needed.

I could only slap my thigh and temporarily abandon what I wanted to say, "You should change your clothes first!"

"..."

"..."

Zhou Zhou didn't move for a moment, silently glancing at Li Qingjie and then at Fu Hengzhi, before smiling helplessly, "Are you all going to stay here while I change my clothes?"

"Ah, right, even though you're a man, you're married!" Li Qingjie slapped his forehead, looking rather dim-witted.

He walked towards the door, and as soon as he stepped out, there was a loud 'bang' behind him.

Zhou Zhou: "..." So why didn't Fu Hengzhi go out?

Fu Hengzhi closed the door and turned around, his eyes filled with an unreadable emotion, which made Zhou Zhou a little flustered.

"President Fu, although we are a legally married couple, I might hit you if you try to force yourself on me." As the other party approached step by step, Zhou Zhou retreated step by step, afraid that something might happen between the two of them alone.

Nothing happened that Zhou Zhou couldn't accept. Fu Hengzhi stopped half a meter away from him, lowered his eyes, and said softly, "Are you sober now?"

"...Huh?" Zhou Zhou was dumbfounded. So this is your reason for not going out? That can't be right.

"I was so worried about you. You just got discharged from the hospital," Fu Hengzhi continued, his tone incredibly gentle, as he leaned closer to her.

This time, Zhou Zhou didn't dodge. He didn't know why, but he felt that he shouldn't have dodged at this moment.

Seeing that he didn't dodge, Fu Hengzhi leaned forward slowly and finally rested his forehead on the other's shoulder.

He whispered in a voice only the two of them could hear, "Please don't make me worry like this again, okay?"

With a 'boom,' Zhou Zhou felt something rise into a mushroom cloud in his mind.

Zhou Zhou: Is it possible, um, that is, maybe I am the top?

Chapter 47 Hey~ Husband?

==============================

The feeling was strange and wonderful, as if something suddenly suspended in mid-air and then instantly enveloped by a warm current from outside. Zhou Zhou's mind went blank, and he froze in place as if his memory had been cut off. Fu Hengzhi did not make any further moves, and the two remained in this position for a long time.

It wasn't until she heard the other person's soft laughter that Zhou Zhou snapped back to reality and pushed Fu Hengzhi away from leaning against her.

Seeing the other person's flushed face, Fu Hengzhi's eyes flashed with an emotion that the other person could not detect. Zhou Zhou seemed to notice her embarrassment and quickly explained, "I drank too much and my mind is not very clear."

Zhou Zhou himself didn't understand the truth of the matter; there was a sense that everything was quietly changing, and he couldn't control it.

"Go change your clothes. I'll wait for you outside. We'll go home when you come out." Fu Hengzhi didn't linger. He had already taken a big step forward tonight, and doing anything more would be superfluous. If he angered the other party, it would be a loss.

The door closed in front of her, and Zhou Zhou immediately rushed to the dressing mirror on the wardrobe to see her embarrassing state. She patted her cheeks, but the blush on her face only intensified.

He's drunk, he must be drunk.

Zhou Zhou comforted herself in this way...

Li Qingjie carefully distanced himself from Fu Hengzhi, who was guarding the door. In fact, the two were not much different in age, but Fu Hengzhi had always given off a sense of pressure among his peers since childhood.

As a child from a typical gender-neutral family, most of his peers in the industry grew up in Fu Hengzhi's shadow.

Li Qingjie had no talent for running a business, and was particularly haunted by Fu Hengzhi, avoiding any interaction with him if possible.

When Zhou Zhou pushed open the door, she saw Fu Hengzhi and Li Qingjie standing on either side of her like door gods.

Li Qingjie had been preparing for this since he left home. He was straightforward and guileless, and all his words eventually boiled down to one sentence: "I, Li Qingjie, admire people like you the most. From now on, we're best brothers!"

Fu Hengzhi merely glanced at him indifferently upon hearing this, without saying anything against it.

"Huh?" Zhou Zhou was completely confused and didn't know what the other person was talking about, but seeing the other person's sincere and ardent eyes, he couldn't help but nod, "Hey."

Li Qingjie looked at his clothes on the other person and saw that they made him look quite presentable. He was used to hanging out with his friends and was about to put his arm around him when Fu Hengzhi's sharp gaze made him shrink back.

Fu Heng looked Zhou Zhou up and down, his eyes flickered slightly, and he nodded in praise, "You're good-looking."

She looks good in anything.

"Ahem." Zhou Zhou instantly understood what the other person meant, cleared his throat twice, turned his head away from him, feeling extremely awkward, "Good family genes."

Fu Hengzhi smiled and said, "Yes, let's go home."

Li Qingjie led the way, while the other two walked downstairs one after the other, heading straight out of the hall. The Fu family's driver was already waiting in the courtyard.

Li Qingjie helped the two into the car, then peered through the back window at Zhou Zhou as he pulled out his phone. "Hey bro, let's add each other as friends."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Zhou subconsciously looked at Fu Hengzhi beside him. Fu Hengzhi glanced at the QR code that Li Qingjie had opened, then looked away and continued to look ahead without saying anything.

Seeing that he had successfully added the two friends, Li Qingjie grinned and waved, watching them leave the courtyard.

"Is he Old Master Li's son?" Zhou Zhou was not quite sure about the other party's identity and looked at Fu Hengzhi with doubt.

“Hmm.” Fu Hengzhi nodded. “The Li family has few descendants. Old Master Li only had him in his generation. He went into business early on and established himself in the industry. He didn’t have Li Qingjie until he was over thirty. Unfortunately, the boy has absolutely no business sense…”

"So you had a second child?" Zhou Zhou continued.

Fu Hengzhi hummed in agreement.

"..." Zhou Zhou suddenly remembered the weathered old man he had seen when he went downstairs, and that must be Old Master Li.

Having a child late in life is truly not easy.

The round trip to the banquet mainly involved spending time on the road; in reality, they didn't even stay at the Li family's house for an hour.

Aunt Feng noticed that Zhou Zhou had changed her clothes and asked her a question. After washing up and sitting down at the computer, Zhou Zhou remembered that the clothes she had changed out of were still lying in Li Qingjie's dressing room.

"It's alright, they'll handle it." Fu Hengzhi thought something important had happened when the other person suddenly called him, and after learning of the concerns, he reassured them with a few words.

"That's good." Zhou Zhou sat down in front of the computer, opened a computer game, put on headphones, and began to immerse himself in his own world.

The PC version of the Canyon Tower game is more difficult than the mobile version.

"Back off, back off, follow me in ten minutes." Zhou Zhou communicated with his teammates via in-game voice chat.

"Okay, little brother." A sweet voice came through the earpiece, but Zhou Zhou felt no emotion at all.

It's been like this for the past few days. She's pretty, can be charming, and can sing. Logically, he should like her, but Zhou Zhou doesn't have any other feelings for her.

Currently, their relationship remains at the level of friends; they play games and chat occasionally.

Fifteen minutes into the game, Zhou Zhou transformed into a jungle king, achieving a triple kill and becoming the player with the highest economy in the entire match, drawing applause from Tian Tian's side.

"Wow, that's awesome! You're so great, young man!"

Zhou Zhou, low on health, returned to base. He glanced at the minimap and saw Tian Tian's support still standing next to the corpse, while the clapping continued in his ears. He frowned slightly and said, "Don't take your hands off the keyboard."

No sooner had he finished speaking than the opposing mid laner flashed and used his ultimate ability to instantly kill him.

"..." Zhou Zhou sighed, helplessly saying, "That's why you didn't go back to the city to replenish your health and mana in time."

"Waaah~" a sweet, childlike voice began to whimper, "I'm sorry~"

Zhou Zhou was still a boy, after all. When a girl softened up and acted coquettishly, he had to say something. "It's okay, just be more careful next time, okay?"

Her voice softened, revealing her gentleness, which elicited a sweet and enthusiastic response from Tian Tian, and also caught the attention of Fu Hengzhi, who was reading a book by the bedside.
