Winter Blazing Wild

Chapter 179 Lies

The distance from the club to Yu Tang's house was not far. It took more than an hour before Zhou Shenye opened the door and entered the house.

The living room was very quiet. Yu Tang sat on the sofa, doing nothing. He seemed to be in a trance, completely emptying himself.

"What are you thinking about? Why are you so quiet?"

Zhou Shenye walked straight over.

Yu Tang then turned his head and looked at him.

There was still no expression on his face, and he was in a daze.

Zhou Shenye's heartbeat quickened, and he became quite nervous. He walked over and sat down beside her, reaching out to feel the temperature of her forehead. "What's wrong? Do you have a fever? Are you sick? Are you feeling unwell?"

Yu Tang reached out to him, "Hug me."

The voice was sticky and still looked unconscious.

Zhou Shenye became even more confused.

She rarely takes the initiative to act like a spoiled brat and ask for a hug. Every time she does this, it means that something is on her mind.

Zhou Shenye knew.

Still hugged her tightly.

He rested his chin on the crook of her neck and nuzzled it gently, "I'm here."

Yu Tang leaned almost limply against him without saying a word. After an unknown amount of time, she let out a soft "hmm".

She finally spoke, indicating that she had recovered.

Zhou Shenye ruffled his hair. "I just went to the vegetable market. It's a bit late today, and the vegetables are not fresh. It seems that we can only make a bowl of noodles tonight. Make a list of what you want to eat and I will buy it tomorrow morning."

As he spoke, his hand slid down from Yu Tang's head and landed on her waist.

As Yu Tang leaned forward against Zhou Shenye, her slender waist was clearly exposed, and it was just enough to hold in one hand.

Zhou Shenye was afraid that she would catch a cold, but he couldn't do anything else, so he could only cover her with his hand and warm her with the warmth of his palm.

But this action really makes people think too much.

Yu Tang felt the touch of Zhou Shenye's fingers, which was itchy and a little rough.

She twisted her body, without looking up, with her eyes downcast, and said in a muffled voice, "What? I'm hungry."

The most urgent thing now is to cook and eat.

Zhou Shenye answered knowingly, "I'm hungry too."

He was hungry, but Yu Tang didn't know how to cook.

There is no other way to feed him.

It’s much more effective than eating.

Yu Tang looked up and looked at him, wanting to say something, but before the words were on her lips, Zhou Shenye lowered his head and kissed her.

Although both of them had their own concerns, it did not hinder the lingering kiss at all. Perhaps this is the way adults think, relying on sensory catharsis to ease the pain in their hearts.

Zhou Shenye finished first, and the look he gave Yu Tang was particularly meaningful.

He has something to say.

But Yu Tang got there first.

As if she was afraid he would speak first, she had to take the initiative. "Have you finished with the club? Is everything going well?"

"Well," Zhou Shenye shifted his body and changed his posture, his hand still wrapped around Yu Tang's waist. "The year is almost over, and there are all kinds of miscellaneous matters to deal with at the club. There are also various plans to change for next year. It's really troublesome. But you also know that Old Tang is a careful and capable person. With him around, I don't have to worry."

"That's good."

Zhou Shenye asked back, "How about you, have things been going well lately?"

We see each other every day, yet you still ask such questions.

Yu Tang shook his head and stared into Zhou Shenye's eyes. His empty and straightforward gaze left him nowhere to escape.

"Aside from the club, is there anything else bothering you?"

Zhou Shenye didn't understand what she meant, "You mean... for example?"

He smiled faintly. "Although Old Man Su is annoying, he doesn't bother me. I just don't bother to pay attention to him and just pretend he doesn't exist."

Yu Tang calmed down and asked, "Then... where are your biological parents?"

As soon as she said this, she felt Zhou Shenye's hand on her waist tighten noticeably.

His expression also changed slightly.

But he didn't speak immediately.

Yu Tang's heart sank.

"They...are not worthy of being my parents, let alone my worrying about them."

If you feel annoyed, it proves that you care.

Zhou Shenye didn't want to give any respect to the two "parents" who attacked him and caused the car accident.

But when Yu Tang heard these two sentences, she thought of something else.

From what Zhou Shenye said, it didn't seem like he had any contact with those two people. They had clearly met before, so why did he say no?

Whatever the reason, he was still lying.

Yu Tang guessed that he might not be able to get the answer today, but he didn't expect failure to come so soon.

"Okay." She smiled.

Looking at Zhou Shenye, he carefully examined his delicate and handsome face from top to bottom.

"I want to eat noodles with soy sauce."

"can."

Zhou Shenye changed his clothes, washed his hands, and went to the kitchen to cook.

Yu Tang continued to sit in the living room in a daze.

When you completely empty your mind, you can actually think things through.

After a while, the phone rang.

Yu Tang picked up the phone, and Xu Li's sharp voice came over, "Senior Sister, what are you doing?"

Yu Tang rubbed his ears and turned his head to look towards the kitchen. "Nothing, just waiting for dinner."

Xu Li smiled mysteriously, "Guess what I discovered?"

"Don't keep me in suspense. Speak."

"I've been helping Senior Brother Han Cheng find a venue for his upcoming art exhibition. It just so happens that several companies in Dongcheng are interested, so I went to meet with them..."

Hearing the word "Dongcheng", Yu Tang immediately became alert, "What did you find?"

"Master, I found the destination on that map."

Yu Tang took a deep breath and warned seriously, "Don't mess around."

Xu Li felt strange. "What do you mean by messing around? We are here to find Master's secret. How can we let go of such a good opportunity?"

Afraid of Yu Tang interrupting, she continued without wasting a second, "The piece of land pointed to on the map has been idle for a long time. Recently, it was suddenly bought by a company. They said they were going to build a new building. Once construction begins, it will be difficult for us to find the secret."

Yu Tang had a bad feeling. "Do you know which company it is?"

"What's it called...Qisheng Real Estate?"

Yu Tang’s eyes went dark and he almost fainted.

At this moment, I deeply understood a word - lingering.

I thought I had completely cut off contact with Shen Zhi and would never have any contact with him again, so how come he suddenly appeared again?

Xu Li didn't get a response from Yu Tang, so she asked again, "You're more knowledgeable and well-connected than I am. Do you know where this Qisheng Real Estate comes from? Can you contact them and have them take us to that piece of land? Maybe we can unlock Master's secret."

Yu Tang was worried that Xu Li might lose control of her mind, so he quickly warned her, "We can't act rashly on this matter. We need to think things through carefully. You can go and check out the exhibition venue, but don't reveal anything about the land. Let me make some plans first."

"Okay, I'll listen to you, senior sister." Xu Li was very straightforward.

After hanging up the phone, Yu Tang lost his grip on the phone and it fell to the ground.

Zhou Shenye just came out of the kitchen and was startled by the noise. He walked over quickly.

"what happened?"

"It's okay," Yu Tang looked up, "I'm hungry, low blood sugar."
