Chapter 13: Sleeping Together

2247 Words
The city at night is always so charming. The bright lights and the hazy night echo each other, blending out the strong charm of this city. It is like an experienced dancer in a nightclub. You may not fall in love with it, but you will definitely be attracted to it. The regional divisions of Middle Land City are very clear. The South City has the most prosperous nightlife, the North City has the most schools, the East City has the most white-collar workers and office buildings, and the West City has the most factories and outsiders. As for the city center located between these four districts, it is home to the largest number of dignitaries and wealthy celebrities. Mary Zhang, who had been drinking in bars for a week, did not appear in South City District tonight. What happened last night scared her, at least she had never been so scared since she was a child. She is 19 years old, a girl born in the 1990s. She is not like most girls born in the 1990s who are unrestrained and like to show off themselves. She has been very low-key in her 19 years of life. This is absolutely related to family education. Her grandfather, who loves her the most, taught her since she was a child that those who die the fastest and are most easily slapped in the face in this world are those who like to show off. And often the more people can show off, the more empty and inferior they are in their hearts. So we should be low-key in life. Maybe it was because she was too low-key, Mary Zhang didn't get along very well with the three girls in her dormitory. Huang Lili, Jiang Xiaoshan and Liu Qian all came from big families in big cities. They always looked down on her, thinking she was just a country girl from a small place and that she was not the same kind of person as them at all. For example, Huang Lili liked to buy famous brands, but Mary Zhang had never heard of any of the big brands mentioned. How could they play together? The same goes for Jiang Xiaoshan and Liu Qian. Although their families are not as well-off as Huang Lili's, they are also well off. They usually flatter Huang Lili, who is generous with her money, and are willing to be her "little sisters." Mary Zhang actually looked down on them, especially Huang Lili. Although she talked about famous brands all the time, what she wore were almost all fakes. It was not like Mary Zhang really didn't know about those famous brands. In her home in Yanjing City, the huge wardrobe was filled with all kinds of beautiful, fashionable and cutting-edge clothes. Even the clothes she donated to remote mountainous areas every year were much more expensive than Huang Lili's genuine clothes. Mary Zhang has always been reserved and low-key. Not only did she deceive her three roommates and all the classmates and teachers around her, she even deceived her boyfriend who had been in love with her for three years until he finally broke up with her because of a rich girl. At that time, I didn't even know that Mary Zhang had a "big family and a big business". That so-called rich girl was really not worthy of being compared with Mary Zhang. Breaking up is always sad, especially when you are dumped because of a third person who is not as good as you. What’s more, it was your first love, the first time you held hands, the first hug, and the first kiss. … Looking back now, I feel a little lucky. Fortunately, I pushed him away from me at the critical moment. Otherwise, my first night would have been dedicated to that bastard with a human face and a beast heart. After a week of drinking in the bar, Mary Zhang cried uncontrollably and wandered alone on the streets at midnight after getting drunk. The sadness and pain were like a thorny shackle that tightly stuck to her heart. But all this changed after last night. The haze dissipated and the shackles broke, all because she met him. When he knocked down those hooligans and reached out to rescue her from the car, when he looked at her gently but firmly, and her eyes were so innocent, Mary Zhang's shattered heartbeat suddenly regained its rhythm, just because she met him! Love can make you cry bitterly, or it can suddenly rush in like a starry sky... Today during the day, Mary Zhang called her grandfather who was far away in Yanjing. She first cried for a while, telling him all her recent miserable experiences, and then said to the most low-key old man in Beijing in a firm tone: "Grandpa, I have decided. I will no longer be low-key in the future!" At this moment, the night outside the window is particularly prosperous. In a high-end restaurant in the city center, many people dressed fashionably and tastefully are sitting inside and enjoying their dinner slowly and politely. Mary Zhang is also sitting inside. She chose a seat by the window. In front of her is a simple plate of pasta and a fruit salad. Don't underestimate these two things, as their prices are dozens of times more than their value. Mary Zhang was flipping through a fashion magazine while munching on a salad. The sofa opposite her was filled with exquisite shopping bags. She had also changed into a new dress of the latest model from a big brand. She didn't look at the exact price tag, but it was a long row of numbers. All she had to do was put on the clothes, walk to the fitting mirror to see if she liked them, and then hand the credit card to the waiter. She sat here obediently, not to enjoy the elegant environment of the restaurant, but because she was tired from shopping and had to wear ten-centimeter high heels all of a sudden. Her small feet, which were used to hiking shoes, really couldn't stand it. Besides, she was waiting for an important call. The cell phone on the table started buzzing. It was the newly bought IP6. The previous phone, which cost less than a thousand yuan, was sold to a mobile phone vendor for fifty yuan. The call was from the most low-key old man in Yanjing City. Mary Zhang immediately perked up. "Hey, Grandpa, did you find out?... Oh, I'm going to move there tomorrow, Grandpa, please help me... Hehe, thank you Grandpa!" After hanging up the phone, Mary Zhang's face was filled with excitement. With a happy smile like the sunshine on her lips, she murmured, "Hey, I found you!" Everyone in the office had left work, even the cleaning lady who was always the last to leave. The huge office was pitch dark, with only the lights on in the sales manager's office. Alice Chu is working on a sales plan. If she does well, she can be promoted to the vacant sales director position in the company. According to her family background, she doesn't have to work so hard. As the largest shareholder of Skyland Group, even if she does nothing in this life, she will have more money than she can spend in the next. But she just wants to prove herself, not with money but with her own ability. She didn’t eat dinner and she really had no appetite. This was also a bad habit of her work. Once she started working hard, her appetite would decrease, but her stomach would still growl when she should be hungry. She would feel hungry and have a stomachache. Drink some hot water and hang out. Alice Chu slapped her sore back, looked out the window at the hazy night, took a sip of hot water, and thought about how great it would be to have Hong Kong Kee's fried lobster dumplings and meatloaf at this time, and it would be best to have another piece of meat floss. Porridge. As soon as this idea came to her mind, the glass door of the office outside was pushed open, and someone lit up the lamp in the hall. She thought it was a colleague who dropped something, but she heard her son's voice. "Mom!" Little Sam Chu ran to her office with ease, kissed her on the face first, and then said, "Mom, you must be hungry. Dad and I are here to bring you dinner." Scott Lin came in with the takeaway, and Alice Chu looked up at him with no emotion in her eyes, which was considered a greeting. Alice Chu also kissed little Sam Chu on the face, very loudly, and said, “Sam Chu, were you naughty at school today?” The little guy said mischievously: "Of course I am good, Sam Chu has always been a good boy, hehe." Alice Chu smiled and said, "So what delicious food did you bring for Mom?" Little Sam Chu said: "My mom's favorites are lobster dumplings and meat patties, as well as pork floss porridge and fruit salad." When Alice Chu heard about so many delicious foods, and they were what she had just thought about, her stomach immediately growled. If she was with little Sam Chu normally, she wouldn't feel anything, but now that Scott Lin, an "outsider", was present, her cheeks immediately became hot. She secretly glanced at Scott Lin, who was setting dinner on the coffee table in the office and seemed not to have heard it. Alice Chu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and continued to be intimate with little Sam Chu, but she didn’t see the secret smile on Scott Lin’s mouth. This was the first dinner the family of three had together. Little Sam Chu was the happiest, and Scott Lin ate cheerfully. Alice Chu felt awkward, but seeing little Sam Chu so happy, the awkwardness was worth it. After dinner, Scott Lin took the initiative to clean up the mess, and little Sam Chu also helped to clean up. The little guy usually helped Alice Chu with the work, and he did the work quite well. After Alice Chu sat back at her desk, she started typing away at the computer again. For fear of disturbing Alice Chu's work, Scott Lin took little Sam Chu outside to play. The little guy sat in Scott Lin's arms. He took out a storybook and asked Scott Lin to read it to him. As the little guy listened, he fell asleep. Scott Lin held little Sam Chu and looked at the little guy sleeping soundly. He really liked him from the bottom of his heart. This may be related to the fact that little Sam Chu is very cute and sensible, or it may be that he has a strong fatherly love hidden in his heart. Scott Lin imitated what he had seen on TV in the past, gently patting little Sam Chu, and couldn't help thinking: "It would be nice if I really had a son this old, how cool!" Alice Chu finished her sales plan. It was almost eleven o'clock. Scott Lin had been sitting outside holding the sleeping little Sam Chu. Alice Chu came out of the office with her bag. When she saw this scene, her heart moved slightly. She said to Scott Lin, "Thank you for taking care of my son." Scott Lin grinned, sucking his front teeth deliberately and said, "Wife, why are you being polite to me? We are a family." Alice Chu suddenly became angry, raised her eyebrows, and was about to take the child from Scott Lin’s arms. "No, don't wake the little guy up." Scott Lin dodged to the side. Alice Chu stopped talking and walked in front with her bag. Scott Lin stood up holding little Sam Chu and followed behind. Alice Chu drove a Corolla to work in the morning, and Scott Lin just drove an old Jetta. On the way back, they drove their own cars. Alice Chu strongly requested that little Sam Chu be put in her car, and Scott Lin did not argue with her and just did as she wished. After returning home, Scott Lin carried Sam Chu into the room. Alice Chu covered the child with a blanket and turned off the light. The two came out of Sam Chu's room together. Scott Lin deliberately teased, "Wife, let's go to bed." and walked towards Alice Chu's room. Alice Chu immediately stopped him, raised her eyebrows, and warned Scott Lin: "Mr. Lin, don't go too far!" Scott Lin smiled calmly and said, "Wife, look how nervous you are. I was just joking. Good night." He waved his hand and walked to a bedroom next door. Alice Chu snorted in anger and prepared to go back to her room to change into pajamas, wash up and rest. At this time, Sam Chu's door suddenly creaked open. The little guy drowsily poked his head out and asked the two adults, "Mom and Dad, are you going to bed?" Alice Chu coaxed, “Yes, Sam Chu, you should go to sleep too.” "No." Little Sam Chu shook his head and said, "I want to sleep with my mom and dad." Then he walked towards Alice Chu's room. Alice Chu had a blank expression on her face, while Scott Lin snickered...
