The Humble Spare Tire is Set After the Car Rolls Over - Chapter 169
After Zhao Yi moved out of the apartment he shared with Chao Ci, he moved into another property he had previously bought near the school.
It was prepared by him some time ago, but he had been undecided at the time, just bought it and put it away. Unexpectedly, it finally came in handy.
The new apartment was still big, and he was still alone. But he suddenly felt much freer. At least he knew that there would only be one master in this apartment, and not another person who would stay home at night and talk to each other.
After he moved out, he never contacted Chao Ci. Therefore, when he discovered the disappearance of Chao Ci, it was already four or five days later.
He and Chao Ci were in the same class after all. He didn’t see Chao Ci in the first two days, and it could be said that Chao Ci was avoiding him on purpose, but he didn’t see him for four or five days, so it didn’t make sense to avoid him. It can only show that Chao Ci has never been to school for so many days.
Panic and worry are unavoidable, even if he and Chao Ci are so estranged from each other, he has never thought of cutting off the relationship with Chao Ci completely, just hope they can get through this stage as soon as possible, reconcile as before, and let everything On Tracks.
He asked the classmates around him, and the classmates didn’t know why Chaoci suddenly disappeared, only that he did not come to school these days. Zhao Yi could only ask the counselor again. The counselor said that Chao Ci and the tutor were working on an important topic and went to Europe.
Zhao Yi frowned and contacted the people from Chao’s house again. As the only heir of a huge family, Chao Ci is not just a college student, and what he needs to do is not just his studies. Like Zhao Yi, he spent most of his energy on taking care of these family properties.
But the people from the Chao family also told Zhao Yi that these Tian Chao did not go to the company, but handed over most of the rights of his subordinates to the executive president he appointed.
A national-level topic is very important for ordinary college students, but for Chao Ci, it is not worth sacrificing several months of study and work. Therefore, Zhao Yi understood that the court speech was to hide from him.
He didn’t know what to think for a while. He wanted to avoid Chao Ci and give each other a calm time, but when he found that Chao Ci was more decisive than him, there was something inexplicable in his heart.
He suppressed this inexplicable emotion and told himself that this was a good thing.
After a while, he became busy and no longer had time to think about it.
Since Nan Xiaojin returned to China, she has come to Zhao Yi almost every day. Naturally, she came back to China for Zhao Yi, and she had to seize the short time she had as an exchange student.
She majored in French herself, which is much easier than science. As long as she is free, she will come to Zhao Yi’s class to have a class with Zhao Yi.
Zhao Yi and Chao Ci were both figures in the university. Good looks, good studies, good family background, there is no such person who is not famous. Therefore, within a few days of Nan Xiaojin’s arrival, most of Zhao Yi’s friends knew her. Just like in high school, she is often teased as Zhao Yi’s little girlfriend.
Nan Xiaojin also often asks Zhao Yi to go out to play, as long as she takes the initiative to speak, Zhao Yi will not respond.
Nan Xiaojin was born in City B and grew up in City B. She has lived here for 18 years. For three years in a foreign country, I miss everything, and it’s fun to play. Those attractions that she had gone to bad before, she felt excited to go again.
The two went to the movies, played attractions, visited the aquarium, and went to the ski resort to play before Zhao Yi taught her to ski. They even went back to their alma mater to visit their former teachers, and went to eat their favorite restaurants near the school together.
This sounds very romantic, and Nan Xiaojin was very happy at first, but slowly, she began to feel not optimistic.
She is not afraid of indifference, because Zhao Yi four years ago was not enthusiastic either. But even if he is slow and indifferent, even if she can only get one point in return for her enthusiasm, that’s enough.
But now is not the same as then.
Compared with four years ago, Zhao Yi’s attitude can be said to be several times better. Be gentle, caring, and responsive to her needs. At first Nan Xiaojin was happy about it, but after a long time, she realized that this tenderness is not a heartbeat, but a kind of remembrance or even sympathy for the beauty.
This kind of feeling is very vague, Nan Xiaojin himself can’t tell the truth, and he can’t be sure. She can only work hard with the last bit of luck and hope.
About half a month after the two reunited, the two returned to their alma mater together.
There are many memories of the two here. In the pavilion by the river at the school, she asked Zhao Yi to help her with her math lessons, ate together in the cafeteria, and watched Zhao Yi play on the basketball court, and she cheered from below. They would visit the school’s small garden together, and then Zhao Yi sent her back to the dormitory. Downstairs in the dormitory, they will talk a lot.
After three years, they went back again. First, I went to visit the teacher, then went to the playground and small garden together, went to the cafeteria to have a meal, and during the lunch break, I watched the current juniors sweat on the basketball court.
Nan Xiaojin felt very nostalgic, and hoped that this journey of finding the past would also allow Zhao Yi to regain some of his former emotions.
But the lost love is not forgotten, but really faded.
Standing in this familiar place again, Zhao Yi did not remember his past with Nan Xiaojin. In fact, even in high school, getting along with Nan Xiaojin was not the vast majority of his life.
It’s a morning speech.
He would help Chao Ci occupy a seat in the cafeteria, buy him his favorite dishes, be the closest comrade-in-arms on the court, and go back to the dormitory together.
For a while, Zhao Yi went crazy and fell out of the top 20 in the grade. Chao Ci squeezed his ears and slipped him to the library to study the biology and language he had left behind. He was dragged by Chao Ci and swiped dozens of test papers. Although he thought it was boring, he still chose to listen to him. In the next monthly exam, he was directly admitted to the second place, and the first was the court speech.
Chao Ci fulfilled his promise. During the ten-day autumn vacation after the monthly exam, he accompanied him to the M country, and accompanied him for a long time in the mountain bike downhill. race.
Chao Ci did not live well when he was a child, but he was born as a young master. It was extremely delicate, and it was too cold to be too hot, and the food to be eaten was too cold to be too oily. Therefore, although most of the time, Zhao Yi was lazy and basically listened to the court speech, but in terms of food and clothing, it was Zhao Yi who was in charge of the court speech.
This kid is a sassy guy, and he likes to wear a thin trench coat to frighten people in early winter. Zhao Yi was not used to him, so he took off his windbreaker and put on a padded jacket for him. Chao Ci was a scumbag in front of him, and he could only go out with a stinky face wrapped in a ball. Once he secretly changed his clothes, but he developed a fever that night. In the middle of the night, the school doctor had already left work. Zhao Yi contacted the family doctor again, and ran to let the security guard and dormitory release him. He had to keep changing the towel for this kid, and he was busy all night.
In this regard, Zhao Yi really did not understand the court speech. Because he is naturally rough-skinned and thick-skinned, he has been alive and well after several falls while playing mountain downhill, and he can swim for six or seven hours without getting tired. Let the boy Chao Ci go up and lie down in half an hour. Gao Er also took Chao Ci for a long swim that year, followed by lifeguards. He put a swimming ring on Chao Ci and took him to the deep sea, but the boy was tired on the swimming ring.
Since he met Chao Ci for the first time when he was eight years old, he has been full of Chao Ci in his life since then.
Zhao Yi has always known about this matter, but the simple “knowing” is nothing compared to the realization that he felt after the separation.
Perhaps very few people have had such an experience as they have. A friendship, from the age of eight to the age of twenty, has been inseparable for twelve years. They are not the focus of each other’s life, both have their own goals, but they always have each other by their side.
Nan Xiaojin noticed that Zhao Yi’s emotions were not right.
At that time, the two were sitting in the auditorium next to the basketball court, watching the teenagers playing lively below.
Nan Xiaojin felt a little sour in her heart. She was about to speak when Zhao Yi asked her, “How long are you going to stay in the country?”
Nan Xiaojin’s words were blocked in his throat, and he could only answer his question at this time: “The time for an exchange student is one year.”
Zhao Yi took his eyes away from the basketball court and turned to look at Nan Xiaojin.
“Then do you want to stay in the country?” he asked, his narrow phoenix eyes couldn’t see his emotions clearly.
Nan Xiaojin was slightly stunned, having completely forgotten the question she wanted to ask before, she asked him softly, “What do you mean?”
“You and your mother shouldn’t be blamed for what happened to your father.” Zhao Yi said, “You left because of the Zhao family, but I, as the heir of the Chao family, have no ability to keep you. After you leave, I will I just realized that.”
Yes, this is Zhao Yi in his youth, his biggest regret.
Fortunately, he has never been a self-pity person, nor a lack of ability. For three years, he desperately squeezed into the center of power, and finally accumulated enough strength.
“Now I have enough ability to protect you.” He looked at Nan Xiaojin’s expression softened, but no one could ignore the power in his words, “As long as you are willing, no one can let you go.”
Nan Xiaojin looked at him with wide eyes, warmth and surprise flooded into her heart, and finally condensed into sourness in her eyes.
“Can, can you?” She couldn’t even hide the crying in her words.
Who would want to be forced to leave their homeland and hide in a foreign country?
Even when Nan Xiaojin returned to China this time, she was very careful, for fear of being discovered by those enemies in the past. Even if those enemies look down on her, who can be said to have nothing, but if anything happens, the consequences are unimaginable.
Her mother is still in country Y and is not happy. She is a very traditional woman who has been attached to her husband like a dodder for the first half of her life. Overnight, her husband jumped off the building and the family went bankrupt. She took her daughter Dianpei in a foreign country. Difficulty in culture, different ideas, financial distress, and struggling to make a living with her daughter alone.
“Of course.” Zhao Yi nodded.
Nan Xiaojin hugged him and said over and over in his arms, “Thank you, Zhao Yi, thank you very much…”
If it were her who was usually sharp and slender, she would definitely find that Zhao Yi was weak and stiff when he was hugged by her. But at this moment, she was so excited and grateful that she couldn’t notice that much.
…
With Zhao Yi here, no one would dare to attack this pair of orphans and widows. After all, it’s no good. If he really started to anger Zhao Dashao, he couldn’t eat and walk around. Besides, the biggest enemy of the Nan family in the past was the Zhao family. Now that the Zhao family doesn’t care, there is no reason for them to come together.
In fact, Mr. Zhao didn’t like the Nan family, but he was stopped by Zhao Yi. Now that this grandson is promising and has his own ideas, he doesn’t say anything anymore. Originally, in that incident, the Nan family was just a **** who was pushed out.
Nan Xiaojin’s plan is to settle down in City B first, and then pick up her mother.
