Chapter 127.
The decoration of the house is not over yet, but it has already taken a rough shape. It can be seen that Tangli has changed all the original decoration here, making it more lifelike and refined. Ye Zheng followed Tang Li with her eyes and listened intently to her future layout and design of the room. Ye Zheng smiled silently and occasionally responded to Tang Li. In this matter, Ye Zheng liked to be a listener because from this she could feel Tangli's expectations for the future. It is a very beautiful wish. This is the real healing. It can dispel the negativity in Ye Zheng's heart, as if she left the cold winter and saw the spring warmth in an instant.
Ye Zheng put her hands behind her back, her smile made her eyes watery, and she was so gentle. Ye Zheng's eyes were focused on Tang Li. Maybe even Ye Zheng didn't know how peaceful she was at this time. She stood aside quietly, even if she didn't speak, no one could ignore her presence.
Movement is beautiful, and stillness is also beautiful.
Like a white lotus, flawless, it is the most eye-catching among thousands of green leaves.
"You keep smiling at me, are you really not afraid that I will be shy?"
Tangli's joke made Ye Zheng lower her head and slightly raise the corners of her lips. She said, "It would be great if you could be so thin-skinned."
Tang Li pinched her waist with her hands in dissatisfaction, "Am I just a very thick-skinned person in your mind? I understand, you just dislike me, right?"
Ye Zheng shook her head, "How could I dislike you?"
Her comfort did not satisfy Tang Li. Tang Li pulled her to the balcony, closed the sliding door, put her arms around Ye Zheng's waist, lowered her eyes and asked, "Is it just that you don't dislike me?"
There were bright stars in the sky, but Ye Zheng felt that the eyes of the person in front of her were more beautiful and charming than the stars, making her involuntarily want to immerse herself in the whirlpool of her eyes.
Ye Zheng's hands were helplessly placed on Tang Li's arm, and her waist was occupied by Tang Li. For a moment, Ye Zheng couldn't escape her.
Why did it suddenly turn into such a close encounter?
Ye Zheng's heart was beating loudly, because Tangli's strength made her want to obey.
[I'm too lazy to remind you about the points, so here it is. You know it's good to have points in your account. ]
After these days of torture, the favorability system has learned to mess up. Of course, when it fails, it will also mock Ye Zheng in a mean-spirited manner, but Ye Zheng will not let it get used to it. Since she knows that the favorability system cares more about points than her, then Ye Zheng used points to punish it.
Sometimes Ye Zheng deliberately does not turn on the halo to prevent the favorability system from earning points. Anyway, it is not Ye Zheng who is going crazy. The favorability system has learned to mess up after repeated attempts, but this kind of messing up is still a bit unwilling to give up. Stubborn, he might get sick again one day and clamor for Ye Zheng to turn on the halo, but most of the time it is already casual, Ye Zheng can do whatever she likes.
So Ye Zheng is very satisfied with it now. Ye Zheng just wants to seize this opportunity of Tang Li and let the favorability system understand that she is not the one under control between the two of them.
It's true that she was passively bound to the favorability system, but that doesn't mean she will still be passive in the future.
[You said you are so pretentious, just fall in love with her if you like her. Don't think I can't see that you are also attracted to this woman. Haha, it's right when you think about it. People who lack love like you have no sense of security. As a person, it would be strange if you suddenly meet someone whose favorability is off the charts for no reason. You are a typical person who would rather find someone who likes you than live with someone you like. ]
[But Tangli has become the owner of a coffee shop at a young age and can move here if she wants. Do you think you are worthy of her? With your current pretentiousness, other people's enthusiasm will be exhausted sooner or later. You can't think that Tangli's enthusiasm can burn you to death, right? ]
The favorability system started to attack Ye Zheng again. It just couldn't see Ye Zheng happy and comfortable. Why should it be tortured by Ye Zheng? It also has to torment Ye Zheng!
In the program of the favorability system, there is no setting for speaking tactfully. From the first day Ye Zheng saw it, the favorability system began to attack Ye Zheng, picking on Ye Zheng everywhere, even wearing ordinary clothes. It can be picky about daily clothes, as if Ye Zheng has lost its face.
Ye Zheng didn't take its words seriously, otherwise she would have been mad to death.
But Ye Zheng is a human being and will always have a weak side.
She knew that she was not the best, so she wanted to live a positive life every day. No matter how hard or tiring the work was, as long as she liked it, her decisive resignation at that time showed that she was free and easy by nature. A personality like hers is not born, but developed.
Because she enlightens herself, don't let go of what she can get, and don't have delusional thoughts about things that don't belong to her, just be happy. Who doesn't want to be a squeamish douchebag, but Ye Zheng doesn't have the capital, so she can only try her best to adjust herself.
She is not an optimist, she is weak.
When faced with feelings, things that she usually doesn't care about will suddenly start to matter to her, such as whether the orphanage director will be disliked by others, or whether she is really worthy of being loved.
With the favorability system as an interlude, Ye Zheng will inevitably become distracted.
Tangli sighed and smiled, how many times has your mind wandered?
She touched Ye Zheng with her forehead and said, "You're distracted again. It's really hateful."
Her voice echoed in Ye Zheng's ears, "Can you tell me what you are thinking? I just want to know if you think of me when you are distracted."
After Tangli finished speaking, she couldn't help laughing, "Why does it feel like I'm telling a tongue twister?"
Ye Zheng realized it and covered her forehead, and explained with a guilty conscience, "I didn't miss you. I was so distracted that I was just thinking about what kind of mosquito repellent patch would work. I was about to be bitten to death by mosquitoes!"
She didn't want to reveal her sadness, which was really embarrassing, so she randomly found a topic and planned to start the article.
But Tangli obviously didn't want to let her go. After hearing the mosquito repellent patch, Tangli snorted helplessly, and strangled Ye Zheng's waist with her arms to express her dissatisfaction. Tangli said, "In your heart, I can't even compare to mosquitoes? Come on, I'm so close to you, I can touch you if I lower my head, but you don't think about me, but you think about mosquitoes! My sense of existence is too low."
Tangli felt aggrieved and pitiful, as if Ye Zheng had ruthlessly abandoned her.
The mature and intellectual woman suddenly showed a pitiful expression, which made Ye Zheng suddenly think of the golden retriever that she often saw on the way to work, with its black eyes and a look of longing for her touch.
Ye Zheng raised her hand and touched Tangli's hair and spoke softly. Her smile was better than all the summer scenery at night. She said, "Don't be angry, who can have a greater sense of presence than mosquitoes in summer?"
Tangli laughed. The wind in the summer night was hot, but the water vapor passing through the seaside city made the wind calm, so it blew her long black hair from Tangli's back. The silk hair brushed across Ye Zheng's arm, and she felt the itching sensation on her skin, causing Ye Zheng to shrink her shoulders in order to suppress the strange throbbing.
"Then I thank you for your comfort."
"You are welcome."
After the fun, Tangli lowered her eyes again. She asked, "Are you really just not dissatisfied with me? Do you have any other ideas?"
Ye Zheng smiled, she was greedy for the hug at this moment, and she also enjoyed the solitude of the two of them on the balcony looking at the night view outside, so Ye Zheng said, "Although we have not known each other for a long time, you can always bring me a very special feeling. A wonderful sense of familiarity, as if there are some things we have done before, and I feel at ease when I see you. I have friends, such as Jin Yan, and the feeling you bring is something I have never experienced, no matter what developement we will have in the future, I would like to thank you for everything you have brought to me now."
Tangli was already satisfied to hear these words.
Tangli was so moved that she no longer kept her distance from Ye Zheng. She held her in her arms and put her chin on her shoulder. Tangli said, "It seems that even if I am not as good as Mosquito, I still have a special place in your heart."
"What? Why are you holding on to the mosquito and not letting it go?" Ye Zheng smiled and hit her.
She tried her best to ignore the blow from the favorability system, but Ye Zheng couldn't act like a normal person. She wasn't that powerful yet.
Only then did Ye Zheng think of changing the subject to Tangli's question. It worked once, but not the second time.
Ye Zheng saw Tang Li's persistence and was moved by the seriousness in her eyes. At the moment when her aura was permeating her body, Ye Zheng couldn't bear to let Tang Li down a second time.
Since she can't bear it, let's just say it.
The favorability system is still wrong. She lacks love and feels insecure, but she is unwilling to give in when it comes to love. Finding someone who likes her or who she likes is not as good as finding someone who likes each other.
So Ye Zheng's withdrawal was because she was too afraid of losing, so she just wanted to take her time and don't be in a hurry. Tang Li's favorability was very high, but Ye Zheng hoped that the two of them would get to know each other better. Let Tang Li discovers that she is not the kind of woman she imagined, and Tang Li can stop her losses in time.
Leaving in the middle is more acceptable to Ye Zheng than leaving after being together.
There is nothing wrong with being timid, and no one is perfect.
The two of them sat there, enjoying the evening breeze and chatting. They just had a can of iced drink or watermelon. After all, summer can't be without these two things.
"Little Zi."
"Um?"
Seeing that the atmosphere was just right, Tangli revealed her inner thoughts and said, "Look, my house hasn't been decorated yet, and I don't want to drive away. How about I continue to sleep on the sofa tonight? To be honest, I can sleep on that sofa of yours. It's very comfortable. You can send me the link another day and I'll buy one and put it at home."
Ye Zheng blinked her eyes, looked at the stars in the distance, "My place actually has two rooms."
She originally had a roommate, but later she left the city and went home. Ye Zheng liked it here and the salary was pretty good, so she gritted her teeth and settled down alone. Nothing is more important to her than a home where she can feel comfortable.
Because--
She has no home.
Tang Li climbed up the pole, "Then should I sleep on the sofa or the bed tonight?"
Ye Zheng smoothed her hair and said nonchalantly, "Sleep on the bed, so you don't ruin my sofa."
After sleeping on the sofa that time, Ye Zheng tidied up another room, which usually contained clutter. She tidied it out on a whim. After Ye Zheng cleaned it, she stood there, she was stunned for a long time, wondering what the hell happened in her brain that made her think of cleaning up this room.
But she would not say anything about this, after all, it was too embarrassing.
After getting the benefit, Tang Li smiled and rolled her eyes, and thought about urging her, "Let's go home. You were right before, there are too many mosquitoes on the balcony."
Ye Zheng complained speechlessly, "Then it wasn't you who pulled me to the balcony?"
Tangli pushed Ye Zheng, and when the two got up, a horn suddenly sounded downstairs. Ye Zheng looked at it curiously, and Tangli said, "Why are you honking the horn if you don't sleep at night?"
Ye Zheng looked at the bright car lights and could clearly see an adult man kicking the car door. Ye Zheng lay on the balcony and muttered to Tang Li in a low voice, "It's okay to get mad at the car. It's not like he has encountered something difficult to solve. He has something to worry about, or he is a grumpy and difficult person to get along with."
Tangli agreed, "Yi Zi is right~"
But she was not at all curious about what was going on downstairs, and urged again, "Go home, go home quickly."
Ye Zheng turned her head and looked at Tangli, then suddenly jumped on the ground and smiled.
Go home?
Well, she likes this sentence.
"Let's go." Ye Zheng said.
The two wanted to leave here together. The not-so-wide stairs could accommodate them walking side by side. The hands on their sides touched each other many times. When Ye Zheng walked down the steps, Tangli reluctantly couldn't help but hold hands with her.
Ye Zheng pursed her lips and said nothing.
[Tsk tsk tsk tsk, you are such a good woman. ]
[Be careful, don't be fooled into losing your heart and body. ]
"Why haven't you gotten off the line yet?"
Ye Zheng rarely spoke irritably and vulgarly. Who knows that the favorability system never talks about people.
[Why should I log off? How can I collect points if I'm offline? Ouch, Ms. Ye Zheng has 5,000 points, but she has strong wings. When are you going to redeem the note? ]
Ye Zheng sneered, "It's none of your business to just eat carrots and worry about it. What does it have to do with you?"
[....]
[The little one understands. ]
Ye Zheng raised the corners of her lips with satisfaction. When Tang Li glanced at her, she smiled softly.
"She's so good!" Tangli showed off to 001.
[Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. ]
001 responded to Tangli perfunctorily.
Tangli waited for Ye Zheng to open the door, smiling brightly.
Just as Tangli opened the iced drink after entering the door, there was a knock on the door. Ye Zheng entered the room and was looking for toiletries for Tangli, so she didn't hear it.
Tangli took a sip of her drink, walked over and opened the door.
After seeing the people outside her relaxed and casual expression, her eyes became sharp and the curve of her raised lips was no longer gentle.
Tangli closed the door with her backhand and pushed Zhou Shiyu out.
[Oh, let me go, why did he come to the door! ]
[Combining the events in the plot, and then thinking about his character, he appeared quietly in Ye Zheng's life, and suddenly he felt so scary! What a pervert! ]
[Tangtang, you have to be careful! Don't underestimate a pervert's tactics. ]
Tangli sarcastically held her arms in her hands, perverted? Sorry, she has been a pervert in missions in the past. It's not that she is a pervert, but that her character is a pervert. Therefore, Tangli will completely solve this man Zhou Shiyu from the root. Zhang Qi is a very good candidate, look at the madness in Zhou Shiyu's eyes, and you know that the medicine has played a big role.
Zhou Shiyu squinted his narrow eyes suspiciously and looked at Tangli. He slowly uttered a sentence, "Are you...Tang Wanhe's daughter Tangli? Why are you here?"
He was very familiar with Tang Wanhe and had invested in him at least. Although Tang Li and Fang Musi were classmates in the past, Zhou Shiyu and Tang Li were not in the same class at that time. They were just acquaintances and not really familiar.
Zhou Shiyu recognized Tang Li because he often saw Tang Li next to Fang Musi in high school. He met her almost seven times out of ten times. In addition, he invested in Tang Wanhe's company, so he could act normally and call out Tangli's name.
Tang Li said secretly: It seems that the medicine was not strong enough.
"It's me. Don't ask me why I'm here. What do you want to do when you knock on someone else's door?" Tangli asked Zhou Shiyu in return. The unkind tone made Zhou Shiyu frown.
Zhou Shiyu sneered, "Your dad doesn't dare to talk to me like this, shouldn't you be more polite to me?"
Tang Li silently took a few steps back, and said angrily, "No way, you still think my dad's company needs your investment? Your dad withdrew his shares, but my dad's company is holding on, so why should I be polite to you?"
"What?"
The company is not yet taken over by Zhou Shiyu. His father is in strong health and does not want to quit for a while. Moreover, Zhou Shiyu is emotionally unstable and often needs to see a doctor, so his father continues to stay in the company to handle things. He didn't care about the business in the company and put his thoughts elsewhere, so his father's presence made him feel a lot more relaxed. He also understood that the smooth operation of the company had a lot to do with his father. He relied on someone to support him and acted unscrupulously. If Tang Li had not spoken to him about official matters today, it would have taken some time to find out.
Tang Li couldn't help but burst into laughter. She thought too highly of Zhou Shiyu. He had the character to be a tyrant but didn't have the means to be a tyrant. After all, he was just a piece of shit that couldn't stand up to the wall.
Without the company's investment, it would be difficult for Zhou Shiyu to have a tough attitude, because in Tang Li's half-smiling eyes, he couldn't support his own momentum, as if he saw someone who restrained him. This feeling was uncomfortable and he was not used to it. Zhou Shiyu, who had everything going smoothly, suddenly became irritable.
He pushed Tangli away with his hand, "Don't block the way."
Tang Li was not his father. Immediately, a grappler pressed his arm and pressed Zhou Shiyu against the wall. She said disdainfully, "I think you are the dog blocking the road. You came here after nine o'clock in the evening. Do you know that someone who knocks on the door of a strange woman's house after nine o'clock in the evening is a pervert?"
"Let me go!" Zhou Shiyu blushed. He, a tall adult man, was actually subdued by Tangli, a woman not as tall as him. As a young man, Zhou Shiyu felt intense humiliation. He gritted his teeth and resisted Tang Li, but the delicate arm on his shoulder was as heavy as a thousand pounds, preventing him from moving.
Knocking on the door in the middle of the night, he could think of whatever he was thinking, but Zhou Shiyu thought he had done nothing wrong. He spent a long time suppressing the excitement in his heart just to see Ye Zheng. If he didn't scare her, wouldn't he be considerate enough? If it wasn't for Ye Zheng's sake, he could have knocked on the door a few hours earlier, so he was not wrong.
Zhou Shiyu thought this way and became more arrogant. He sneered and said, "Tang, if you don't let me go, believe it or not, I will make it impossible for you to hang out here from now on!"
Tangli smiled calmly, "I can't survive here? Don't worry, you will have to die first."
"You fart!"
Tangli liked to see him so naive. The more naive he was, the more helpless he was when the big surprise came to his door.
Tang Li said scornfully, "It's hard to persuade a ghost who wants to die."
Her tone was lazy and careless, her eyes suddenly turned cold, and the strength of her hands became stronger. Tangli said warningly, "But stay away from Ye Zheng! She is mine."
Zhou Shiyu's eyes turned red and he cursed fiercely, "You are not allowed to taint her! She is Sisi, my fiancée."
He gasped for breath, all his reason collapsed. He couldn't listen to such words. Fang Musi left him. It took many years to find such a perfect replacement. He would never allow Ye Zheng to leave him again. No one can snatch her away, not men and not women.
Zhou Shiyu had no sense at all and cursed loudly, "No wonder I always saw you next to Sisi. It turns out you are a person who likes women! What if you met Ye Zheng earlier than me? Why don't you hold the same love as me? Your thoughts! You just want to take Ye Zheng as your own and make her a substitute for Sisi."
"I understand, that's what it is!"
He was trembling all over, wishing he could fight Tang Li now.
Tangli was speechless and choked. She really couldn't care less about abnormal people because she couldn't communicate.
Tang Li let go of his arm, grabbed Zhou Shiyu's collar and said expressionlessly, "Don't disgust me with your groundless speculations. Are you mentally ill? I appear next to Fang Musi just because I'm interested in her? Both of us are on the front and back desks, do you think I can stop appearing next to her?"
[Hahahahahaha! Killing me. ]
She poked Zhou Shiyu's forehead with her finger and said, "Ye Zheng is Ye Zheng, she is not Fang Mousi's substitute. Fang Mousi is your true love, and you don't want anyone to say a bad word about her. In the same way, Ye Zheng is also my sweetheart, I don't like you using substitutes to describe her."
"She's irreplaceable, you undersrand? You idiot."
[Tangtang's stupid curse was so enjoyable! ]
[Ah, your wife opened the door! ]
Tangli couldn't help but look back, Zhou Shiyu was about to fight back when he saw this.
Ye Zheng said hurriedly, "Tangli, be careful!"
She reacted extremely quickly and avoided Zhou Shiyu's despicable attack.
Ye Zheng breathed a sigh of relief. She walked up to Zhou Shiyu with a cold face and slapped him without hesitation.
"I am not a substitute."
"Your affection makes me feel sick for Fang Mousi."
She was glad that she met Tangli first and not the person in front of her.
Otherwise she will go crazy.
