Happy Sat.u.r.day! Time flies… it is almost the end of January already. The first month of the year has flown by so quickly.
A slow and steady progress in Anyi and Zhou Mo relationship. And it is sweet of Zhou Yue in trying to match them indirectly. Hahaha….
Enjoy the read today! I am so annoyed with Xie Wei Shi in this chapter. If I were Anyi, I would just break off with him.
Chapter 12
Song Anyi shake her head. "Sister is mean to be loved. If my brother is so calculative with me, my mother will scold him."
"I am calculative?" Zhou Mo put down his chopsticks and looked at her straight.
Song Anyi looked up into his inky eyes and immediately changed her wordings: "Oh no. Professor Zhou of course is not a person like that. It is my brother that I am talking about!"
Anyhow, after getting along for six months, if she does not understand the personality of this man whom is arrogant with low EQ, then she do not understand the mankind of the world.
Zhou Mo looks happier.
He is such a person. He does not think about being intimate with others. Song Anyi did not feel anything. If she wants to think more, it would just trouble herself.
"Tomorrow, there will be fish for dinner."
"Professor Zhou is going fishing tomorrow?"
In addition to studying those non-life ancient relics, Professor Zhou"s greatest pleasure requires great patience - fishing.
"Yes."
"I do not know how to clean fish."
"This you do not have to worry."
Fishing usually goes on for three to four hours. Song Anyi casually asked: "I need to help you prepare some rice b.a.l.l.s in the electronic insulation pot?"
Zhou Mo answer without hesitation. "Five. Add spicy radish and pickled cabbage."
Thinking about the rice b.a.l.l.s that are finally in his hand, Zhou Mo is very satisfied.
Song Anyi is annoyed. She wished that she did not mention it. But fortunately, rice and spicy radish are available in the refrigerator. The other materials such as fried cakes and fried pickled cabbage is very laborious. Wrapping the rice b.a.l.l.s, what time will she end up going home? She still has a bunch of paperwork to be completed……
Zhou Yu seeing Sister Anyi helplessness, turned her beautiful eyes and think hard.
"Ah, I heard from my mum saying that Anyi"s brother as grown up and because of that, there is not enough s.p.a.ce to stay in the same house. So Sister Anyi had moved to rent a place outside. Why not…… Sister Anyi just move to stay here. There are many empty rooms here. It is also closer to Sister"s company. Sister do not need to worry about rent problem. After dinner, every day is already so tired, no need to rush home. What do you think, big brother?"
"Ah! No need. I am very used to my rented place now. I do not want to move at all" Before Zhou Mo could say anything, Song Anyi immediately reject.
Must be kidding me! Move here? Then from morning till night I have to listen to the Grand Master calling me?
Song Anyi refused too quickly, not considering Professor Zhou sensitive and childish solitary addiction of the heart. And true enough, he frowned and with proud and sharp eyes, raised the question: "My house is not good?"
Song Anyi shrugged: "Professor Zhou"s house is good and quiet. Fresh air with plenty of parking s.p.a.ces. But it is not the matter of whether the house is good or not, but inconvenient."
"Inconvenient?" Zhou Mo grind on these words.
"Yes, it is inconvenient."
"Why?"
"I am not your housekeeper."
"If you want to be my housekeeper, it is fine."
"I do not want to."
"But Miss Song, you are working for me now."
"There is no need to stay here for work just to prepare Monday to Friday dinner, Monday & Friday"s cleaning work."
"It is nothing."
"Inconvenient." Song Anyi used only three words to end this topic.
Note: 不方便 is a three word while in English, it is known as "inconvenient"
This round is considered Song Anyi"s victory.
Song Anyi did not enjoy the joy of victory.
The next day was Costco"s buying day. Professor Zhou asked Zhao Yue to run a nearly seven-figure financial card, saying that it is for her usage to buy groceries.
However, this man either do not understand financial management or maybe he had too much money, but no matter which one, Song Anyi still remember to record every penny used.
In additional to the joy for winning that is not enjoyable for a reason, when she left last night, in the car she received a text from Xie Wei Shi complaining that he is working hard. It is almost ten o"clock but he is still in the school research room, helping Professor Zhou to organise the materials. He also complained that Professor Zhou only allow him to organise the materials but did not teach him anything or even bring him to auction.
It is only a mere half month when he is recruited as an a.s.sistant (though she felt like it"s been months since she has been so busy!). Xie Wei Shi actually is whinning?
She can only persevere with patience. "It is only half a month. You have to show your strength to Professor Zhou before he uses you. Moreover, the information are also very good. May be precious information that other people want to see but not able to."
"You help me. Tell Professor Zhou that I can take over Miss Zhou"s work. I know that Professor Zhou"s affairs are arranged by his sister…."
"I had no chance to see Professor Zhou again. So, it is impossible to say anything else." So far, Xie Wei Shi thought that she knew Professor Zhou only because of her mum is a student in Professor Zhou"s mother calligraphy cla.s.s. Xie Wei Shi did not know that she is seeing Professor Zhou every day for weeks. Otherwise the ironclad guy will have endless request.
"Why is it impossible? The chance is what you need to look for. You can help me. I do not want to organise information all day in the research room. If it is because of the time in cla.s.s, I can take off from work and work next to Professor Zhou, can learn more!"
Song Anyi rubber her throbbing temple. "Since you know one need to find their own opportunity, then you should cherish the opportunity now. Only half a month. Too delusional step by step is not good. So be it. I am busy now. Xie Wei Shi, come on!"
She hastily ended the call, so unlike of her. But this only makes her more suspicious of how he could have asked her to give him a chance and make her promise to help him pursuit? She wanted to wake him up and let him realized how much effort she had made to get here!
So, when this happen, how would she enjoy the winning?
Unexpectedly, Song Anyi got into an accident with serious engine damage. She is heartbroken with the damage to her Yaris.
How come…. She just went in Costco to buy some groceries. Only for a while…. And now this happen! Her car is a new car that is less than 2 months old. She want to cry…..
A group of people gather around the front of her car in discussion. The store staff and the truck driver came to confirm if she is the car owner when they saw her pushing the shopping cart out. After that, the truck driver blamed her for parking a little out of the parking grid.
She parked within the parking grid. The front of the car did not exceed the white line in front. Is she wrong?
Song Anyi felt so miserable to the extent of wanting to cry. So, unbearable to see her white car so pitiful. But she still endured. She took out the phone to first call Professor to tell him that she will be late.
Only that her quevering voice are hard to conceal. Zhou Mo is aware and immediately asked: "Where are you?"
"Costco."
"What happen?"
"The car crashed. So, I would not be back in time to prepare dinner…." She inhaled with tears spinning in her eyes.
"Where are you hurt?"
"I am not hurt. I went into the store to buy food. The Yaris was b.u.mp in the parking lot."
"Have you reported to the police?"
"Reported to the district police and they came. Traffic police and insurance have not arrived yet."
"I will send someone. You do not have to say anything."
After the call, Song Anyi still do not understand who Professor Zhou would be sending over.
