Chapter 235 Meeting again
Jiang Zhouzhou waited for a while, and when she saw that Xiao Dian was no longer sending messages, she got up and started washing up.
I had made a promise to Chaomu that I would personally give him the gift when he came to Haishi.
Recalling their first meeting, she was too timid to look him in the eye; the scene felt like it was just yesterday.
Jiang Zhouzhou patted her wet face in the mirror; her skin, soaked in water, was glowing white.
After washing her face, choosing clothes, and putting on some light makeup, the pretty girl in the mirror was radiant.
Just then, her WeChat rang, and Jiang Zhouzhou opened it to check.
[Lin Chen: Zhouzhou, I've learned that lace eye mask dance. Do you want to see it?]
[Lin Chen: I've said it before, I can learn anything you want to see, don't look at others.]
[Ginger Porridge: ...]
Where is morality? Where is dignity? Where is shame? Where is the bottom line? Where is humanity?
[Jiang Zhouzhou: Your finger is injured, so don't do this dance.]
Taking a deep breath, Jiang Zhouzhou stopped someone from having the urge to get a fever so early in the morning.
But seeing Lin Chen reminded her of that chaotic dream...
If Nanfeng is a male fox spirit who has cultivated himself into a master, then Lin Chen... also shows a tendency to develop into a seductive fox spirit.
So scary!
[Lin Chen: Okay! My finger is recovering very well, do you want to take a look?]
When he mentioned his finger, Jiang Zhouzhou didn't refuse, wanting to see how his injury was healing.
[Jiang Zhouzhou: Hmm, let me see]
The other party quickly sent a high-resolution photo.
After glancing at it, Jiang Zhouzhou slammed her phone down, her porcelain-white face visibly flushed.
he……
Anyone kind enough to take a picture of their little finger and unbutton all the buttons on their shirt?
I can tell, it's really burning!
You have to unbutton the clothes when they're burning to let them cool down.
Lin Chen waited for a long time, but seeing that Zhouzhou didn't reply, he touched the tip of his nose in frustration.
God knows how devastated he was when he found out that Zhouzhou was watching male streamers who were flirting with the wrong audience.
But what did she do wrong?
His Zhouzhou is innocent, kind, and wonderful, but... she just likes to watch borderline content!
He's just not trying hard enough; he can't let Zhouzhou only look at him...

Even when the sun shines brightly in late autumn, the air is still filled with a chilly cold.
Jiang Zhouzhou stood by the street. She was strikingly beautiful, like a vibrant splash of color blooming in the desolate autumn day when the leaves were yellow and the branches were bare, lush and bright.
When the light turned green and she saw the figures on the other side of the road, she couldn't help but quicken her pace.
To be honest... it's quite embarrassing.
She invited Chaomu to dinner, but they chose KFC as their table.
The man has a tall and slender figure, and as a designer, he has his own unique style and aesthetic in dressing. Just by standing there, he attracts countless eyes.
In the sunlight, the ruby earrings gleamed brightly, like drops of congealed blood and tears, and the light-colored eyes were exceptionally clear.
Upon seeing it again, Jiang Zhouzhou couldn't help but marvel at the striking appearance of the face.
Alluring, yet dangerous!
Slightly reserved, Jiang Zhouzhou walked up to the man and greeted him, "Brother Chaomu, long time no see."
Chao Mu lowered her eyes and chuckled softly, "It's been a while since we last met, and I've missed you a lot."
The familiar, straightforward way of chatting made Jiang Zhouzhou's cheeks slightly flushed.
She felt that even the most talkative person would become taciturn when faced with a chatterbox like Chao Mu.
Jiang Zhouzhou laughed it off, saying, "If Brother Chaomu misses me, he can visit my live stream more often."
Chao Mu gave a faint "hmm," and said, "I watched it, but I didn't post any comments."
Jiang Zhouzhou: "..."
The two walked into the KFC store, pushed open the door, and attracted several glances as they entered.
After finding a seat by the window, Chaomu said before ordering, "If you don't like this, we can go to another restaurant."
Jiang Zhouzhou shook her head: "No need to change, I quite like KFC."
Chao Mu smiled and said, "Me too."
He picked up his phone to scan the QR code to order food, his fingers, bearing faint scars, swiping across the screen.
Those amber eyes gleamed as they swiped across the screen.
Chao Mu said to herself, "When my family was poor, I would always secretly envy other children eating these things. Later, when I had money... I came here to eat by myself."
Jiang Zhouzhou's eyes lit up, and she whispered, "I thought I was the only one like this."
She only started eating KFC when she was in college. She had been curious about what golden and crispy fried chicken wings tasted like when she was a child. After trying them, she found they were just so-so. But she doesn't know why... she still eats them occasionally.
Perhaps it's so that I can taste more of the flavors when I was a child!
However, when she was filming the jewelry promotion, she learned that Lanxing Jewelry had been established for more than 30 years. As the heir, shouldn't Chaomu's family be poor?
Seemingly noticing Jiang Zhouzhou's confusion, Chaomu took the initiative to explain, "I was adopted."
Upon hearing this answer, Jiang Zhouzhou was stunned.
Chao Mu smiled and said, "It's no secret. Although I currently manage the company, I don't own any shares. However, I am very grateful for their support and for giving me a home."
His tone was nonchalant, but his clear, glassy eyes were so shallow that even a hint of melancholy would be easily noticed.
Jiang Zhouzhou took out the gift she had prepared beforehand from her bag and presented it to him with both hands.
She said softly, "This is a gift I prepared for you. Would you like to open it and take a look?"
The small, square black box shimmered with subtle patterns, making it easy to guess what was inside.
Chao Mu opened the box, revealing a silver wristwatch with sparkling diamonds.
It wasn't a very surprising gift!
But Jiang Zhouzhou said, "I thought about it for a long time and decided to give Chaomu this gift."
She bit her lip and said slowly, "Although the character 'Mu' sounds nice in a name, it sounds like you're heading towards old age because your surname is 'Chao'."
This name is not pleasant.
Born in the morning, dying at dusk; dusk represents decline and the end of time.
And yet, his surname happens to be Chao!
Step by step, we move closer to death, until finally the end of time arrives.
A name is not only a symbol of identity, but also a reflection of the deep love of parents.
Her parents didn't want her and didn't even give her a name. Her grandmother fed her rice porridge and named her Zhouzhou.
When she was a child, her name was also ridiculed, and she was given all sorts of nicknames.
Therefore, she is particularly sensitive about her "name".
"Giving a wristwatch is a way of recording time, because time is not just about the mornings and evenings, but also about every minute and second."
"Although life is just a process from birth to death, I hope that Brother Chaomu can live in the present, do what he wants to do, and do things that make him happy."
After saying this, Jiang Zhouzhou quickly lowered her head.
If I just give her a watch, I wonder if she'll think I'm making things up and forcing these useless meanings onto it.
Just then, I heard a very soft laugh.
Jiang Zhouzhou looked up and saw Chao Mu putting the watch on her wrist.
His wrist bones protruded, veins were slightly visible, and there were several small, shallow scars on his wrists. The silver metallic texture made his skin look fair and even more striking.
"Zhouzhou, you're really good at coaxing people."
“I never used to wear a watch, but since this is a gift from you, I will wear it forever.”
