Chapter 48 The stars have all hidden in your eyes
The private room was originally very lively, with toasts being made and laughter ringing out.
After Yu Baiwei finished speaking, she fell into a deathly silence.
All eyes fell on Zeng Cheng.
Even though Zeng Cheng prides himself on having a thick skin and a thick jaw, he still felt incredibly embarrassed.
While physical death is unlikely, social death certainly qualifies.
Yu Baiwei looked at Zeng Cheng with a worried expression.
The subtext is obvious—did I say something wrong?
She certainly didn't do it on purpose.
Although the search engine told her that even good friends shouldn't touch each other's feet in principle, what's wrong with occasionally breaking the rule since they're good friends?
Zeng Chengxin thought, "As expected of you, Yu Baiwei, did you do it on purpose, or accidentally, or did it on purpose but accidentally?"
"Cough, Yu, you're really joking..."
He gave a dry laugh.
Then I quickly found a way to avoid feeling embarrassed.
Lai Bo's dialectics.
To be honest, it was my past self who was playing with Yu Baiwei's feet, so what does it have to do with my present self?
If anyone should feel awkward, it's my past self!
The eerie silence in the private room was broken by the simultaneous bursts of laughter from Tao Xingzhi and Meng Zhou.
Those who have been through it all know what I mean.
Half an hour later, the dinner ended, and the guests had a great time.
After Zeng Cheng maxed out his emotional intelligence, he made Principal Meng very comfortable.
When the emotional value is right, the alcohol tolerance will increase. Meng Zhou can drink half a jin of baijiu, but tonight he drank a whole jin.
Zeng Cheng has certainly achieved his strategic goal—leaving a good impression on Meng Zhou, the executive vice president of Sichuan University.
After the dinner, Yu Baiwei gave the box containing the jade bracelet to Sun Feng.
Since it was in a box, Sun Feng didn't think much of it and simply accepted it.
First, she thought it was just a small gift.
Secondly, it's very impolite to open the box in front of a young lady.
I thought to myself, why don't I just have my son return the gift later? It's all about giving and receiving, isn't it?
Zeng Cheng was busy helping Meng Zhou and Tao Xingzhi, who had drunk too much, call a car and didn't notice this scene at all. Otherwise, he would definitely have opened the box to take a look.
After seeing Meng Zhou and Tao Xingzhi off, he called a car for his parents, who had also been drinking, so that the couple could go home first.
As for him personally—Yu Baiwei made a request, asking Zeng Cheng to take her home.
After leaving the restaurant, the two good friends, who hadn't seen each other for almost six days, walked side by side.
Tonight, there is only the moon in the sky, no stars. The moonlight, like frost and snow, quietly blankets the earth.
The road ahead of them was very well lit, not by moonlight, but by the soft low beams of the Rolls-Royce Phantom.
Just now, Yu Baiwei asked Zeng Cheng to take her home, and he thought that the girl had taken a taxi by herself—so he was a little surprised, thinking that a certain noblewoman might not have changed her nature and would actually let her daughter go out alone at night.
It turned out he was overthinking it; the Yu family's driver had been downstairs the whole time.
So how exactly does Yu Baiwei's brain circuit work?
Instead of sitting in a Rolls-Royce, he insisted on waving his ham around.
After walking a few steps, Yu Baiwei stopped and pouted, looking at someone.
Zeng Cheng asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"
Yu Baiwei didn't say anything, but simply stretched out her little hand.
Zeng Cheng didn't dare, and pointed to the big black car behind him.
Yu Baiwei blinked:
"Zeng Cheng, don't worry, Uncle Zhou watched me grow up. He loves me the most and would never tell Mom."
Zeng Cheng still didn't take her hand, but instead frowned slightly.
Drivers in top wealthy families almost always have lifetime contracts, so it's not surprising that the Yu family's driver watched Yu Baiwei grow up.
His confusion didn't stem from that; rather, he grasped another key point.
"Yu Baiwei, so you're not that naive. You know your mom will be very angry if you hold my hand!"
"My mom gets angry because she doesn't even know what a true friend is!"
"So you knew that too?"
"Of course—" Yu Baiwei nodded, her eyes shining brightly. "True friends are like us, eating together, taking walks together, swimming together, playing video games together, holding hands, and occasionally... letting you play with my feet."
It's fine if you don't mention playing with feet, but mentioning Zeng Cheng reminds me of the socially awkward scene just now.
"Yu Baiwei, although I did play with your feet, and I'd like to continue doing so, this is a secret between good friends. You're not allowed to tell anyone—especially your mother!"
"OK."
After being scolded by Zeng Cheng, Yu Baiwei stuck out her tongue, nodded obediently, and then extended the invitation to hold hands again.
"Zeng Cheng, are you going to hold my hand or not?!"
"Take my hand!"
Zeng Cheng chuckled and decisively grasped Yu Baiwei's smooth little hand, and two seconds later they seamlessly intertwined their fingers.
When a relationship develops to a certain stage, physical intimacy naturally follows.
Therefore, Zeng Cheng looks down on those who pursue pure love.
To be honest, Plato's ideas only produce mental illness, not love.
Uncle Zhou, who was driving, couldn't help but smile like an uncle as he watched this scene.
I have to say, these two little ones are quite adorable.
He had been the Yu family's driver for twenty years, and Yu Baiwei was indeed someone he had watched grow up.
Therefore, he could clearly sense what changes had occurred in the young lady after she met Zeng Cheng.
The melancholy and gloom on my body are gradually fading away.
The protective coloration of feigning aloofness is no longer so intense.
She finally possessed the youthful spirit that one should have at this age, as bright as the morning star.
After walking for a while, Yu Baiwei spoke up, "We haven't seen each other for almost six days, don't you want to say something nice to me?"
Zeng Cheng smiled and nodded, "Of course! So what would you like to hear?"
Yu Baiwei tilted her head and said, "Actually, I think whatever you say sounds good, so just say whatever you want!"
Zeng Cheng then pointed ahead.
Under the soft light of the headlights, the shadows of the two people walking side by side stretched long, all the way to the end of the road.
"See our shadows on the ground? One is me, and the other is mine—"
Zeng Cheng drew out his words here.
Yu Baiwei's fair cheeks instantly turned crimson.
How can you resist such blatant teasing?
But then Zeng Cheng changed the subject: "My silly friend."
How can we provide emotional value to the other person?
It can be complicated, or it can be simple.
The most crucial point is to be good at arousing the other person's emotions.
For example, at this moment, Yu Baiwei's mood was like a roller coaster, going straight up and down.
The beautiful woman stood rooted to the spot, pouting, and said angrily, "Zeng Cheng, I'm angry!"
"Relax, just kidding, don't be angry anymore."
"All right--"
"But Yu, you look so cute when you're angry. Promise me, we'll never get caught in the rain again."
Why?
"I'm afraid you'll become so cute after getting rained on that you'll sprout!"
"hold head high--"
Yu Baiwei's crescent-shaped eyes were instantly filled with joy.
Zeng Cheng really maximized the emotional value for her this time.
Come and don't go indecent.
Yu Baiwei, whose learning talent was explosive, had already grasped someone's tactics, so she asked Zeng Cheng, "Do you know why there are no stars tonight?"
Zeng Cheng asked, somewhat puzzled, "Why?"
Yu Baiwei chuckled, "Because the stars are all hiding in your eyes—otherwise, how could your eyes be so beautiful?"
