When the female supporting role has a beauty system

Chapter 1366 Unrequited Love 20
Just then, Zhou Jinxu looked down at her, and the two locked eyes. Xu Yanzhen was startled, feeling that Zhou Jinxu's gaze was very deep, as if there were whirlpools in his pupils, as if they were about to swallow her whole.

Xu Yanzhen was startled, and her ears immediately turned red. She took a small step back and withdrew her hand from Zhou Jinxu's forearm: "It's a bit hot today, I... I'm going to get some water."

She bent down to pick up the cup next to her, but unexpectedly bumped into Zhou Jinxu's hand halfway. Zhou Jinxu picked up the cup of tea that had already gone cold: "I'll go pour you a hot one. It's not good for girls to drink cold things."

He turned and went to the kitchen, where Zhou Shiyu, who had been spying on him, brought him hot tea while complaining, "Uncle, you were too... scheming just now."

Zhou Jinxu glared at him: "This is just a tactic."

Zhou Shiyu exclaimed, "When you and Teacher Xu made eye contact just now, I almost wanted to force you two to kiss. It was just too beautiful."

Zhou Jinxu was too lazy to listen to his nonsense, so he picked up the tea tray and left.

In the living room, Xu Yanzhen's expression returned to normal. She patted her cheeks and quickly stood up when she saw Zhou Jinxu come out: "You're too kind. I could have gone by myself."

Seeing how polite Xu Yanzhen was to him, Zhou Jinxu bent down to put down his teacup, then sat back down in his original seat: "I've thought of my first request."

Xu Yanzhen was somewhat surprised, but she didn't like owing others anything. Now that Zhou Jinxu had made a request, she immediately became serious: "Go ahead."

Zhou Jinxu crossed his legs, exuding a mature man's charm: "My first request is that Yanzhen, could you please stop thanking me? Being too polite makes you seem distant."

Xu Yanzhen felt a little awkward: "But... this is a matter of politeness."

“We’re friends. There’s no need for such stiff politeness between friends.” Zhou Jinxu leaned forward slightly, his attitude gentle yet assertive. His gaze towards Xu Yanzhen was earnest; how could they possibly cultivate a relationship with such unfamiliarity?
His first step is to break down the boundaries between Xu Yanzhen and himself. He wants to get so close to Xu Yanzhen that they can talk about anything and express their gratitude without needing any words.

"Like when Yanzhen gave me a cup, I didn't say thank you. I don't think it's necessary."

Zhou Jinxu clearly had his own way of persuading people. Especially with the added bonus of a prize, Xu Yanzhen hesitated for a moment before agreeing: "Okay, then I won't thank you anymore."

"I might have felt a little uncomfortable at first, but it wasn't intentional."

Zhou Jinxu nodded, agreeing that Xu Yanzhen had this good quality. She would try her best to keep her promises and was a girl who valued commitments.

Similarly, they are also very well-behaved.

The aunt quickly served lunch. Zhou Jinxu had noticed last time that Xu Yanzhen liked Chinese food, so the aunt specially made Chinese food today. The three of them enjoyed a delicious lunch together.

Xu Yanzhen had no reason to stay at the Zhou family's house any longer, so she took her leave after the meal. Zhou Jinxu, of course, couldn't let Xu Yanzhen leave so easily, so he brought up the idea of ​​a prize.

So, Xu Yanzhen, feeling dizzy, followed him out to play ball. As for Zhou Shiyu, Zhou Jinxu ruthlessly sent him to keep Han Yu company.

Even when Zhou Shiyu went to see Han Yu, he still drove Xu Yanzhen's car, ostensibly to help Xu Yanzhen drive it home. As for the evening, Zhou Jinxu would drive Xu Yanzhen home.

Even if Xu Yanzhen was oblivious, she had already noticed something was amiss.

After getting into Zhou Jinxu's car, Xu Yanzhen urgently called out to Tan You: "Teacher Tan, does Zhou Jinxu like me?"

Tan You's voice was clear and sharp: "You only realized it now? I thought you should have sensed it a long time ago. The way he looked at you when you first met was strange." "Besides the housewarming party, Zhou Shiyu was doing well at the best private high school in the country, but in order to get closer to you, Zhou Jinxu directly transferred Zhou Shiyu to another school and specifically asked Zhou Shiyu to study in your class."

"He was supposed to have a meeting at the company in the morning, play ball with his business partner in the afternoon, and have a banquet in the evening. He canceled his morning and evening schedules."

"As for today's Gomoku game, Chun Chun is just an old fox pretending to be innocent, just to trick you."

"So you didn't notice anything at all?"

Xu Yanzhen was a little embarrassed: "He's such a big boss, and I'm just a teacher. I wouldn't have thought of it that way at first."

"After all, the biggest misunderstanding in the world is that he likes me."

Tan You said softly, "You're not wrong to think that way, but it's Zhou Jinxu's business if he likes you. If you like him too, then it's a matter between the two of you."

"Teacher Tan, why didn't you remind me?" Xu Yanzhen complained somewhat arrogantly, thinking about how Zhou Jinxu liked her while Tan You had been watching from the sidelines.

Tan You said coolly, "Why would I remind you? To help Zhou Jinxu? There's no such easy thing as a free lunch. If I remind you, your attention will definitely be more focused on Zhou Jinxu, which is exactly what that old man wants."

Xu Yanzhen pouted, but had to admit that Tan You was right. Knowing that Zhou Jinxu liked her, she would definitely observe him; Tan You really understood her thoughts perfectly.

Xu Yanzhen glanced at Zhou Jinxu. He was focused on driving, his long, slender fingers resting on the steering wheel. Xu Yanzhen suddenly recalled the two times he had supported her, his arms around her waist.

It looked like he could cover her waist with one hand...

Does she like Zhou Jinxu? Xu Yanzhen fell into deep thought.

Before this, she had never thought about it in this way. If she could do it all over again, Xu Yanzhen would only want to manage her life well and stay far away from Jin He and Shi Cheng.

She had even considered sealing her heart with cement to sever all feelings and love, and her encounter with Zhou Jinxu was entirely an accident.

But Zhou Jinxu would take the initiative to get closer to her. He came to her housewarming party in a roundabout way, transferred his nephew to the class she taught, and now he is trying every means to find opportunities to spend time with her.

Thinking about all this, Xu Yanzhen gazed at Zhou Jinxu, gradually becoming engrossed. A man, an outstanding man, he was subtly drawing closer to her. Xu Yanzhen was just an ordinary person, and of course, she had vanity too.

"Teacher Tan, do you think he likes me, or me just because I have this beautiful face?"

Tan You: "Appearance is also part of you. What kind of beautiful women hasn't Zhou Jinxu seen?"

"Someone like him, would he be easily captivated by a woman's looks? It's because you yourself are very charming."

“You didn’t have any extra beauty points in your past life, but you still married Kim Hyuk and Shi Cheng, didn’t you? You have to believe that you are charming.”

Xu Yanzhen's hesitation was quickly dispelled by Tan You, and the gloom in her eyes disappeared: "Teacher Tan, you are right, I am charming. No matter why he likes me, those are all part of me."
