"The rule of the second round is that the person who gets the Ace of Hearts must kiss the back of the hand of the Six of Hearts as if he is proposing."
As the sophomore girl from the drama club announced the rules, there was a burst of sighs in the private room. Obviously, just kissing the back of the hand was not exciting enough.
Zhou Chen played with the Six of Hearts in his hand with a playful expression. This card was supposed to belong to Xie Qiao, but it was changed to his own hand because he knew that the person who got the Ace of Hearts was Wang Ying.
The opportunity has come.
As the rules were announced, everyone took another look at their cards. When Wang Ying saw that her card was the Ace of Hearts, she immediately showed a look of disgust and sighed.
Yang Cheng next to him also saw Wang Ying's cards and couldn't help but smile. He thought this was quite interesting.
"Ace of Hearts, Six of Hearts, come forward quickly."
Seeing that no one stood up, someone immediately began to urge. Wang Ying didn't want to show her head, so she pretended not to hear, and Zhou Chen didn't stand up immediately.
What if he stood up first but Wang Ying refused, and Yang Cheng took Wang Ying's card like in the TV plot, it would be too embarrassing.
"Hey, why doesn't anyone come forward? Don't be embarrassed, it's just a game."
Xu Lin, who was sitting next to Wang Ying, suddenly grabbed Wang Ying's card and said, "Let me see for you. Hey, Wang Ying, the Ace of Hearts is you."
Xu Lin's exclamation immediately made everyone in the private room look at Wang Ying. Wang Ying glared at Xu Lin fiercely, with eyes that wanted to scratch her.
Seeing that Wang Ying refused to stand up, everyone applauded and encouraged her.
"Wang Ying, Wang Ying, Wang Ying..."
Xu Lin was also urging from the side: "Wang Ying, get up, we are playing games, we can't cheat."
Wang Ying was very unhappy: "Xu Lin, you are such a big mouth."
Yang Cheng also stood aside and said: "Go, Wang Ying, I really want to see your proposal gesture."
Wang Ying glanced at her and said, "Yang Cheng, you are not a good person either."
Yang Cheng crossed his arms and shrugged, looking indifferent.
No matter how unhappy Wang Ying was, with so many people watching, she could only stand up reluctantly.
"Okay, the Ace of Hearts is Wang Ying. Who is the 6 of Hearts? Take a look and come forward quickly."
Everyone was looking around, but Zhou Chen could only pretend to have a helpless expression, and raised his hand to turn over his six of hearts.
Amid the cheers of the crowd, Zhou Chen could only stand up reluctantly, with a look of helplessness on his face, as if he had the same expression as Wang Yinggang.
Yang Cheng frowned slightly when he saw that the 6 of Hearts was actually Zhou Chen, but he didn't say anything. He really only regarded Wang Ying as a child, and he just treated Zhou Chen as a kindred spirit.
When Wang Ying saw that it was Zhou Chen, her face became even more depressed. She would not be willing to kiss a girl, let alone a boy.
But before she could say anything, everyone started to cheer again, and even hummed a wedding march.
"Ding-deng-deng-deng..."
Under the gaze of everyone, Zhou Chen took the initiative and said: "Wait a minute, I am a man and Wang Ying is a woman. How can I let Wang Ying propose to me?"
I don't know who shouted: "This is showing love to her, so why not kiss the back of her hand as if you were proposing."
"Ok, Ok……"
Scattered voices of approval agreed. They didn't care who proposed the proposal, as long as they could watch the fun.
Zhou Chen looked at Wang Ying and said, "What do you think? If it doesn't work, how about we change it and give it a hug like Xiaozhou and the others?"
"I……"
Just as Wang Ying was about to speak, she encountered opposition from everyone.
"No, no."
The girl in charge of the drama club flatly refused: "Yes, this is not okay. Let's play games together and we can't cheat. I think it was just as Zhou Chen said. He kissed the back of Wang Ying's hand in a proposing gesture. Everyone
What do you think?"
"good."
“Exceptionally good.”
"…………"
Everyone was watching the excitement and was not afraid of the trouble. They cheered one after another and directly picked up Zhou Chen and Wang Ying.
Zhou Chen looked at Wang Ying. Wang Ying's expression was reluctant, but it would be too embarrassing for her to walk away with her words at this level.
So she took a breath and nodded gently towards Zhou Chen.
Seeing Wang Ying nodding in agreement, the atmosphere in the private room instantly became high. Everyone stood up and shouted loudly.
"Propose, propose, propose..."
After receiving Wang Ying's permission, Zhou Chen no longer hesitated and walked up to Wang Ying openly, looking at Wang Ying with gentle eyes.
For some reason, Wang Ying suddenly felt nervous when Zhou Chen looked at her with such eyes. This was something she had never experienced before.
As the eldest daughter of the Wang family, Wang Ying has been well-fed and pampered since she was a child. She has few male friends who are close to her. Even her best friend, Yang Cheng, has never done anything like this to kiss her hand.
.
How could she not be nervous at this moment?
Just as she nervously held her breath, Zhou Chen slowly knelt down on one knee in front of her, took her right hand, lowered his head and kissed the back of her hand.
At this moment, her body trembled slightly and her heart beat rapidly.
"Oooh!"
There were strange screams in the private room, awakening Wang Ying who lost her composure. She immediately pulled her right hand out of Zhou Chen's palm, then returned to her seat and sat down.
Zhou Chen chuckled and then returned to his seat.
As soon as Wang Ying sat down, Xu Lin teased: "Hey, Miss, why is your face so red? Are you excited?"
Wang Ying scolded angrily: "I'm so excited for you. If you don't speak, no one will treat you as a mute."
Xu Lin didn't care at all when he was scolded. He was still cheerful and found Wang Ying's current state very interesting, which was different from her usual.
Yang Cheng turned his head and asked in a low voice: "How does it feel to be kissed by a boy for the first time?"
"Yang Cheng, do you deserve a spanking?"
Wang Ying was very angry. Her feelings for Yang Cheng were different from others. When others teased her, she would only curse a few words at most. But when Yang Cheng teased her with such things, she was really uncomfortable.
But Yang Cheng didn't understand her thoughts at all, and still said with a smile: "Although I don't like Zhou Chen very much, I feel that he should be more outstanding among boys. If you want to try falling in love,
You can try it with him."
Wang Ying told him directly: "Shut up, a dog can't spit out ivory."
She was very unhappy and didn't want to talk to Yang Cheng anymore. She picked up a can of beer and was about to drink it. As soon as she raised her head, she saw Zhou Chen looking at her. She couldn't help but panic and hurriedly avoided Zhou Chen's eyes, not daring to
Look again.
Zhou Chen smiled slightly when he saw Wang Ying's reaction. He knew that he had left a deep impression on Wang Ying tonight. Maybe he was still far behind Yang Cheng, but over time, sooner or later, they would have
A qualitative breakthrough.
No rush, no rush.
There will be other entertainment games next, but they have nothing to do with Zhou Chen.
The party lasted until about ten o'clock, because the school dormitory will be closed at night, so everyone needs to return to the school before the dormitory closes.
"Zhou Chen, Qiao Qiao is drunk." Xu Lin shouted to Zhou Chen.
"give it to me."
Zhou Chen supported Xie Qiao and then carried her on his back.
Xu Lin gave a thumbs up: "It's awesome. Wang Ying and I couldn't help each other, so you carried it alone. Wang Ying went to call a taxi. Let's wait for a while."
On the roadside, Wang Ying called a taxi and said to Yang Cheng beside her: "You can go back by car first."
Yang Cheng said with a bitter face: "I came here with you. I thought I could meet some beauties, but it turned out that they were all dinosaurs. The drunk one doesn't need my help?"
"There's no need, Zhou Chen is still here, they are just young, he can do it."
"Okay, that's it, I'll leave first."
Yang Cheng took a taxi and left first, then Zhou Chen carried Xie Qiao on his back and got into another taxi with Wang Ying and Xu Lin.
Zhou Chen placed Xie Qiao in the back row, while Wang Ying and Xu Lin supported her on the left and right.
"No, this is the plastic bag I asked KTV for. If she can't help it later, I'll give her this."
"Ah? I, I can't, give it to Xu Lin."
Wang Ying, who had never done this before, hurriedly waved her hand. Zhou Chen could only hand the plastic bag to Xu Lin, but Xu Lin didn't care and took it.
"Don't worry, leave it to me."
The taxi driver hurriedly warned: "Don't throw up in my car?"
Zhou Chen sat down on the passenger seat, took out a hundred yuan and handed it to the driver.
"Beiqing University, one hundred. No matter if she vomited on your car or not, there is no need to look for her. Do you still have any questions?"
The taxi driver immediately beamed: "No problem, absolutely no problem."
It is now 2001, and the purchasing power of one hundred yuan is still very strong. Beiqing University is not far away, less than ten minutes away. Not to mention that Zhou Chen brought a plastic bag, even if he really vomited in the car, with this
One hundred yuan, that's quite a value.
Arriving at the school soon, Zhou Chen carried Xie Qiao all the way to the downstairs of the girls' dormitory.
"Oh, Zhou Chen, it's a good thing you're here, otherwise, Wang Ying and I really don't know how much effort it would take to get Qiao Qiao back."
"Do you want to tell your dormitory aunt and let me carry her on my back?" Zhou Chen asked.
Xu Lin said: "Forget it, our aunt is very powerful. No boy can enter under her eyes. Just leave the rest to us."
At this time, Xiao Qianxi came back and helped Xie Qiao into the dormitory building with Xu Lin.
"Wang Ying, wait."
Wang Ying stopped and faced Zhou Chen alone, feeling a little strange in her heart.
"What's wrong? Is something wrong?"
Zhou Chen said: "It's like this. I received a call from home tonight. I may have to go back to San Francisco tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. Please tell Qiao Qiao. If anything happens, just call me."
"Back to San Francisco?"
Wang Ying looked surprised, but quickly responded: "Okay, I understand. I will tell Xie Qiao when she wakes up tomorrow."
"Also, don't worry about tonight, I..."
It was okay if I didn't say it, but as soon as I said it, Wang Ying couldn't help but think of the kissing scene, and her face suddenly turned red.
"I don't care. It's just a game. It's normal to be willing to accept defeat. Okay, I won't tell you anymore. I'm going back to the dormitory first."
After saying that, she quickly walked into the dormitory building with three steps and two steps at a time.
Wang Ying's reaction made Zhou Chen very satisfied, which showed that there was progress in tonight's actions. Even if it was a kiss on the back of the hand, it was a skin-to-skin kiss. A girl like Wang Ying would definitely take it to heart.
When he returned to his dormitory, he checked the flight time to San Francisco. Coincidentally, there was a flight tomorrow afternoon, so he called and made a reservation early the next morning.
It's only 2001 now, unlike in the future, you can buy tickets directly with your mobile phone.
He asked for leave from the college leaders in the morning, packed a few clothes and set off. After more than ten hours of flying, he returned to San Francisco.
After getting off the plane, he called Tao Li and learned that Zhou Guoxing had been discharged from the hospital and went home to recuperate, so he rushed back immediately.
In the room, Zhou Guoxing lay on the bed, turned to Zhou Chen and said, "Didn't I tell you, it's nothing serious, just rest for a while. Why do you have to fly back? It will delay your study time."
Zhou Chen sat by the bed and said: "Grandpa, you don't know that I am a genius. Let alone missing a few days of classes, even if I miss a month, I will make it up in a few days; you are always injured, can I help you?"
Come back, grandma, and show me the film grandpa took."
Tao Li asked in surprise: "You still understand that? We have already invited a family doctor, and the hospital also said that the problem is not serious, it is just because your grandfather is old and his recovery is not as good as that of young people."
"You can understand it. You also know that I have read a lot of books about medicine before, and I can still understand it after watching the movie."
Taking the film Tao Li brought, Zhou Chen read it carefully.
"Well, it's really not a big problem. It just needs to be taken care of. Don't get out of bed during this period of time. Once it recovers a little, you can walk slowly again."
Zhou Guoxing said: "Since you know that I am fine, you should go back and have a good class."
"I finally came back, and you're going to drive me away now. At least you let me rest at home for a few days to get over the jet lag."
"Old Zhou, Xiaochen is also caring about you. He doesn't let us worry about his studies. Don't worry about him. You should just care about yourself. Let Xiaochen stay with you for a few days and stop nagging me.
, let me have a good rest for a few days."
"Hey, I've just been in bed for two days, and you think I'm nagging? Xiaochen, look at her, look at your grandma, she doesn't like me, she thinks I'm nagging."
"Yes, I just don't like your nagging. Xiaochen, just talk to him. I'll go to the kitchen and prepare something delicious for you."
"The older I get, the lower my status in the family becomes. As you can see, Xiaochen."
Seeing that Zhou Guoxing was in good spirits and still had the energy to quarrel, Zhou Chen was completely relieved.
"It's been almost two months since you returned to China. How do you feel? Have there been big changes at home?"
"It's good. Anyway, the capital is developing well. It just takes some time to catch up with the big cities in the United States, but I think it will be soon."
"Really? It seems that you are very optimistic about domestic development. I have heard you say before that you want to develop some industries in China?" Zhou Guoxing asked.
Zhou Chen nodded and said: "I have this plan, but I am still considering it. I am not in a hurry. Even if I develop domestically, I am more prepared to invest. There are many good projects in the country now."
He is very familiar with investing. Penguin's several financings are good opportunities to make investments. There are also other companies with future development that he can invest in. There are many opportunities, so he is not anxious at all.
