There was so much depression in her heart, but when it came to speaking out, Qiao Yingzi didn't know where to start.
Zhou Chen gently took her hand, placed it in his own and held it.
"I'm not an outsider, I'm the one who will marry you in the future. You can trust me absolutely and tell me all your pain and grievances. Even if I may not be able to help you solve it, speaking out is better than just telling me.
It feels much more comfortable if you hold it in your heart."
Even Qiao Yingzi, who was feeling uncomfortable and depressed, immediately turned rosy when she heard Zhou Chen say that he would marry her in the future.
"What are you talking about? Who said I want to marry you? Can you please stop talking to yourself?"
Zhou Chen smiled and said: "I didn't lie. In this world, I would definitely not marry you if you were wrong."
Qiao Yingzi suddenly retracted her hand. Zhou Chen had gently scratched her palm just now, which made her very shy and did not dare to let Zhou Chen tease her like this again.
"I'm not an idiot. I can be deceived by you in just a few words."
"Then I will deceive you with three hundred words or two hundred words."
"Hate."
Seeing that Qiao Yingzi smiled because of his interruption, Zhou Chen finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He was afraid that Qiao Yingzi would always be immersed in sadness. Although he didn't know much about depression, he felt that talking more, laughing more, and being more cheerful would definitely be conducive to recovery.
"Zhou Chen, I really don't know what to say. You also know a lot about our family's situation, and there is no way to solve it."
"And I don't want you to be in trouble, because I and my parents are already very rude to you. If you argue with them again because of me, then..."
Although Qiao Yingzi didn't say anything further, Zhou Chen already understood what she meant. It was just that he couldn't convince Song Qian and Qiao Weidong at all.
On the contrary, if she interferes too much, it will make Song Qian even more aggressive, and she may do even crazier things.
Qiao Yingzi knew her mother very well, so she didn't want Zhou Chen to take care of her, not because she didn't trust Zhou Chen, but because she didn't trust her mother.
"Okay, if you are in a bad mood, then I will sing a song for you."
Qiao Yingzi said in surprise: "You can also sing?"
"Then what you said is not that I am bragging. If I enter the entertainment industry, I will definitely become a big shot."
"Just blow it."
"Oh, I know best whether I am bragging or not. As for you, listen to the song I sing first and then talk about it."
"Okay, then you go ahead and sing. If you don't sing well, I'll beat you to death."
Because of his young body, Zhou Chen obviously found that his voice was much better than in other worlds. If his voice is better, his singing will naturally be better.
Zhou Chen began to sing softly for Qiao Yingzi. The songs he sang were all healing and tender songs.
After Zhou Chen sang a song, he took a two-minute break and then continued singing. Such intensity was really easy for him.
Back when we were all in a good world, he and Yifei spent days and nights in the recording studio, and his voice was about to break, but he persisted in the end.
Now when I sing a few songs for Qiao Yingzi, there is really no pressure at all.
When Zhou Chen sang the fifth song, he found that Qiao Yingzi had put her feet on the edge of the bed and fell asleep leaning against the chair.
"well!"
Zhou Chen sighed softly, and lovingly smoothed down the broken hair on Qiao Yingzi's forehead, then carefully picked her up, placed her on his bed, and covered her with the quilt.
After doing all this, Zhou Chen sat on the chair and looked at Qiao Yingzi, who was sleeping soundly.
Qiao Yingzi, who was sleeping soundly, relaxed his brows. This poor child was under tremendous psychological pressure, otherwise he would not have come to his house in the middle of the night.
Zhou Chen did not sleep, but took out his mobile phone to watch. Qiao Yingzi could sleep with him for a while, but he could not sleep until dawn, so he could not sleep. He had to wake up Qiao Yingzi before Song Qian found out that Qiao Yingzi was not at home.
Yingzi, let her go back.
At three forty, Zhou Chen woke up Qiao Yingzi.
Qiao Yingzi woke up in a daze and was startled when she saw Zhou Chen standing at the head of the bed.
"Zhou Chen, why are you in my room?"
She was surprised, but not afraid. It could be seen that she was full of trust in Zhou Chen.
Zhou Chen smiled and said: "Look clearly, whose room this is."
Qiao Yingzi looked around through the weak light, her face suddenly turned red. She finally remembered what happened, and sat up instantly. Seeing that she was still wearing her clothes, she breathed a sigh of relief.
"Looking at you like this, you don't really think that I will take advantage of others' danger and do something to you, do you?"
"Ahem."
Qiao Yingzi coughed twice in embarrassment and quickly changed the subject and asked: "What time is it now?"
"It's about three fifty."
Qiao Yingzi was suddenly shocked: "Ah, I slept for such a long time."
She remembered that it was just after one o'clock when she came to Zhou Chen's place, and it was almost four o'clock now, which meant that she had slept here for almost two hours.
"You haven't slept this whole time?"
Zhou Chen: "I squinted for a while. I was worried that you wouldn't wake up and your mother would find out, so I had to wake you up."
"Yes, yes, yes, I can't let my mother find out that I'm not at home, let alone let her find out that I'm here with you."
Qiao Yingzi climbed out of bed and tidied her clothes, "Zhou Chen, I have to go back quickly. If it's too late, my mother will wake up."
Although her mother usually wakes up around five o'clock to make breakfast for her, and tomorrow is still the weekend, but who knows if she will wake up early today, so she didn't dare to delay, immediately put on her shoes and left Zhou Chen's house.
Zhou Chen did not stop Qiao Yingzi. After watching Qiao Yingzi go home cautiously, he returned to bed and continued to sleep.
He slept until nine o'clock, then Zhou Chen cleaned up before driving to the mask factory.
Because he was worried that Qiao Yingzi might come again in the evening, Zhou Chen did not rest at the mask factory, but drove back to Shuxiang Yayuan that afternoon.
For the next period of time, Qiao Yingzi would come to see Zhou Chen in the middle of the night every now and then. Each time, she would fall asleep under Zhou Chen's singing for a few hours before carefully going back.
This also led to Zhou Chen lacking rest time every now and then. However, his energy was far beyond ordinary people, so it did not cause him any trouble. At most, he would secretly study for two classes during school, and then he would
back to normal.
With Zhou Chen's explanation and comfort, Qiao Yingzi undoubtedly became more cheerful.
During this period, Song Qian still did not relax for a moment. She picked up and dropped off Qiao Yingzi on time every day, and even Qiao Weidong showed up several times.
Fortunately, Qiao Yingzi has gradually gotten used to it and is no longer as disgusted and angry as she was at the beginning. Song Qian and Qiao Weidong were so pleased with her well-behaved behavior that they thought Qiao Yingzi had figured it out and understood their intentions.
"Yingzi, this is for you."
During the class break, Zhou Chen found Qiao Yingzi sitting alone in the rest area and handed her the USB flash drive in his hand.
"What is this?" Qiao Yingzi took the USB flash drive and asked in surprise.
Zhou Chen said: "Here are some songs and tunes I recorded. I think you can fall asleep listening to my singing, so I went to the recording studio to record some. You can listen to it when you sleep at night and see if it has any effect."
"Did you go to the studio to record just for me?"
Qiao Yingzi was even more shocked. Although she didn't know how much Zhou Chen had recorded, the process of recording songs would definitely not be easy.
"What's the point? Recording songs is not difficult for me."
This is not Zhou Chen's bragging. He could record songs for many years in the previous world. This time he recorded the songs just for Qiao Yingzi, not for publication, so he didn't need to spend too much energy on recording.
"Okay, I'll try it when I go back tonight, but if you do this, do you think I'm disturbing your sleep at night?"
"How is that possible? I wish I could sleep with you every night."
"Who is sleeping with you?"
Qiao Yingzi suddenly blushed and said, "You, you, don't talk nonsense. It won't sound good if it gets spread."
"It's just a joke. I think I'm scaring you. The reason why I recorded a song for you is because I'm worried that you always come out at night. If your mother finds out one day, it will be really bad."
"Thank you, Zhou Chen."
There was a person who went to great lengths to record a song so that he could fall asleep. This was a very touching and romantic thing, so Qiao Yingzi didn't say anything, but she was really grateful in her heart.
"What's the relationship between the two of us? No need to be polite."
"Hello!"
Suddenly a loud shout sounded from behind Zhou Chen and Qiao Yingzi, and then Fang Yifan jumped over.
"Yingzi, your parents don't allow you to associate with Zhou Chen, but you two are really good at spending all your spare time together."
"Fang Yifan, can you please stop being so surprised? If you have some free time, go and practice singing and dancing."
Qiao Yingzi pushed Fang Yifan away impatiently. This guy always liked to jump out and make a scene, and he couldn't even chase him away.
Fang Yifan said with a smile: "I have my own arrangements for singing and dancing, but I have to keep a close eye on you two. I want to see how you two break through the blockade of Yingzi's parents.
"
Zhou Chen: "Fang Yifan, I found that you have been really active recently. Although your mother agreed to let you take the art exam and found a teacher for you, are you so confident that you can pass the art exam? Even if you pass it
After passing the art test, are you so sure that your scores in cultural classes can meet the standards?"
"Both of our top students don't dance like you. Where do you get your confidence from?"
Fang Yifan said weakly: "Zhou Chen, what you said is too hurtful. I know you two study well, but there is no need to belittle me like this."
"I'm not belittling you, I'm just telling you not to be too proud."
The class bell rang, and everyone returned to their classrooms laughing.
At night, Qiao Yingzi still had a little insomnia. She took out the USB flash drive, transferred the songs on it to her mobile phone, and then listened to the songs with headphones.
The song sounded, and it turned out to be Zhou Chen's voice, and then she began to listen carefully.
Listening and listening, I don't know how long it took, Qiao Yingzi slowly fell into sleep, and slept until the alarm on her phone rang the next day.
This result made Qiao Yingzi ecstatic, which showed that the songs recorded by Zhou Chen really helped her sleep.
In a blink of an eye, the new year is coming.
"Everyone, everyone, I have a suggestion. During the New Year's Eve, how about we go to Zhou Chen's place together and celebrate the New Year together?"
Listening to everyone talking and looking forward to the arrival of the New Year, Fang Yifan suddenly suggested to everyone.
Huang Zhitao's eyes lit up and he said, "That's okay. We have a holiday on New Year's Day, so it's no problem even if we stayed up late the day before."
Ji Yangyang shrugged and said, "I don't care. Anyway, my parents don't have any idea of New Year's Eve. I can go there after dinner."
Facing everyone's gaze, Zhou Chen said: "I don't have a problem. Anyway, I am celebrating the New Year alone. If you are planning to go to my place, I can prepare some good things in advance for you to play and eat."
"The relationship is great. You, a rich man, will definitely not be stingy. Lei'er and I will definitely go." Fang Yifan also helped Lin Lei'er make the decision.
In the end, Qiao Yingzi was the only one left in the group of six who didn't speak.
Facing everyone's gaze, Qiao Yingzi said: "I can't give a definite answer now. You all know the situation of our family, and I don't have the right to make the decision."
Huang Zhitao consoled her: "Yingzi, it's okay. Just tell your mother when the time comes that you can spend New Year's Eve with me. Maybe your mother will agree."
Qiao Yingzi: "I'll give it a try then."
In fact, she didn't have much expectations, because she celebrated New Year's Eve with her mother Song Qian every year. This year, her mother was particularly concerned about her, and she really didn't have any confidence at all.
Fang Yifan chuckled and said: "It's okay, Yingzi, if you can't come by then, we will make a video call with you, and you will be considered as a participant."
"Fang Hou, you are really shameless. Will you let me watch you eat, drink and have fun?" Qiao Yingzi scolded angrily.
"Haha, so you must not be absent when the time comes, otherwise I will piss you off to death."
December 31st has arrived in the blink of an eye, and there are only a few hours left before the new year.
Qiao Yingzi used Huang Zhitao's name to get out of the house smoothly. A group of people gathered at Zhou Chen's house, howling excitedly.
In order to entertain them, Zhou Chen bought snacks, fruits, etc. early. The group of people ate, drank, and had fun, and they were very excited.
In fact, there were originally six people, but I don’t know where Wang Yidi got the news. That night, he also came to the door and insisted on joining.
Now that people are here, Zhou Chen and the others naturally can't turn them away, so the group of six becomes a group of seven.
Everyone had agreed to spend the New Year's Eve together, but at about ten o'clock, Song Qian called Qiao Yingzi, urging him to go back, and said she would go to Huang Zhitao's house to pick her up.
Qiao Yingzi was so frightened that she gave up on the spot and could only say on the phone to go back immediately without answering.
In the end, everyone could only bid farewell to Qiao Yingzi reluctantly, which reduced the atmosphere of the party by half.
However, at Zhou Chen's invitation, the remaining people still celebrated New Year's Eve at his home, spending the last second of the old year and ushering in the first second of the new year.
Entering the New Year means that the winter vacation is not far away, and the registration for the winter camp previously announced by the school has also come to an end.
Even though Li Meng and Pan Shuai suggested many times that he sign up for Beijing University's winter camp, Zhou Chen still refused and did not participate in any winter camp.
Qiao Yingzi wanted to attend the winter camp at Jinling University, but her mother, Song Qian, signed her up for the winter camp at Peking University. This made her very painful, so she had other ideas.
It's a pity that Qiao Yingzi's idea was good, but she still underestimated Song Qian's power. When Song Qian learned that she actually wanted to apply for Jinling University, she got into a big fight with her angrily. The mother and daughter were in trouble.
Open business.
Since entering their senior year of high school, mother and daughter have had arguments and quarrels time and time again, and their relationship has become increasingly bad.
In the end, due to Song Qian's strong force, Qiao Yingzi's Jinling University winter camp came to nothing.
For this matter, Zhou Chen found Li Meng and had a chat with her.
He felt that if Li Meng hadn't 'told the news', maybe Qiao Yingzi would have had a chance to successfully register. As for whether he could succeed, that was a matter for later, and he would figure out a way at that time.
But when Li Meng said this, Qiao Yingzi lost all hope.
"Yingzi, something is very wrong with you. Can I take you to see a psychiatrist?"
During the break that day, Zhou Chen took Qiao Yingzi to a remote place and spoke to her seriously.
Qiao Yingzi: "See a psychiatrist? Do you think I have a mental problem?"
Zhou Chen said: "You can't feel it yourself, but from my observation, you have changed too much now. You have been lifeless all day long, with no vitality at all, and there is no smile on your face. If you continue like this,
You will get worse and worse."
Qiao Yingzi: "Thank you for your concern, Zhou Chen. I'm really fine and I don't need to see a psychiatrist."
Zhou Chen suddenly stretched out his hands, held her head, and made her eyes look directly into his.
"Yingzi, believe me, I really do it for your own good. I will take you to see a psychiatrist. No one else will know. Even if you are fine, you can vent your depression and melancholy to the psychiatrist."
Being teased like this by Zhou Chen, Qiao Yingzi was a little flustered, and finally nodded silently.
