Chapter 1367 Unrequited Love 21
Tan You snapped her fingers. "That's more like it. Call me if you need anything. You two are quite a couple."

Xu Yanzhen fanned herself with her hand, seemingly trying to cool the heat from her face: "Teacher Tan!"

"Is it hot?" Zhou Jinxu's voice suddenly rang out. He looked at Xu Yanzhen with a puzzled expression. "Should we turn the air conditioning down a bit?"

Xu Yanzhen quickly waved her hand: "No, no, I just suddenly thought of something else. I'm not hot, not hot at all."

When she looked up, the delicate pink hue on her cheeks and earlobes could no longer be concealed. Zhou Jinxu had long known that Xu Yanzhen was beautiful, but Xu Yanzhen in this state was undoubtedly even more eye-catching.

Zhou Jinxu slowed down, his eyes constantly fixed on Xu Yanzhen's face.

Xu Yanzhen glanced at Zhou Jinxu, then quickly looked away. The thought of Tan You's comment that she and Zhou Jinxu were a good match made her feel uneasy, as if she was even a little uncomfortable being in the same room with Zhou Jinxu.

Especially in such a small space as inside a car, so close that you can smell the woody scent of the other person.

"I don't play golf. If I suddenly show up, will I spoil your and your friends' fun? Why don't you drop me off at the nearby intersection?"

Zhou Jinxu certainly couldn't let Xu Yanzhen get off the bus halfway; he had gone to great lengths to get her to his side. So he chuckled twice: "Just think of it as a trip to clear your head. It's an honor for my friends that you get to see them, how can you say it's a downer?"

Xu Yanzhen pinched her fingers, knowing that Zhou Jinxu's words meant that they absolutely had to go to the golf course today.

That's right. Knowing that Zhou Jinxu was interested in her, and then suddenly having to meet his friends, she felt uncomfortable, as if she had been taken over someone else's territory.

Xu Yanzhen had never experienced such a gentle yet forceful approach. In her previous life, when Jin He pursued her, it was mostly through ambiguous words. As for Jin He's friends, they were all truly rotten in their own way.

And what about Zhou Jinxu's friends?

Xu Yanzhen suddenly became curious about Zhou Jinxu's WeChat Moments.

Tan You glanced at Xu Yanzhen's face, which had flushed slightly, but smiled without saying a word.

Now that the trip to the golf course was a done deal, Xu Yanzhen suddenly calmed down. She was always the more proactive and eager; she only needed to observe Zhou Jinxu's actions. As for whether to respond, she hadn't decided yet.

No matter how capable Zhou Jinxu is, no matter how forcefully he seizes her, can Tan You not protect her? Xu Yanzhen suddenly felt a sense of confidence, as if she also had someone backing her up.

Sensing her thoughts, Tan You flicked her fingers: "Your idea is right. Can't I protect you? No one can force you if you don't want to."

With the weight lifted from Xu Yanzhen's heart, she remained apprehensive about love, but with Tan You by her side, she felt confident that she could overcome anything.

With her mind at ease, Xu Yanzhen was more inclined to ask other questions. She looked at Zhou Jinxu's profile: "Is the sports field... far from here?"

South Korea isn't that big; even if it's far, it should be at most an hour or two's drive. But they've been out for almost forty minutes and still haven't arrived?

Zhou Jinxu silently quickened his pace: "Almost there, just twenty more minutes."

At this moment, inside the stadium.

Three men were chatting together. It was unusually quiet here, so quiet that they were the only ones there. Unlike other places, where men are usually surrounded by female companions.

Kim Tae-hyun fiddled with his phone, gazing listlessly out the window: "Do you think Jin-seo is coming today? It's past the appointed time. Isn't he usually the most punctual?"

Li Guanglu took a sip of tea: "Perhaps something happened on the way that delayed us? Let's wait a little longer."

Xu Zhengxiu said casually, "Brother Jinxu is late today, he must treat us to a big meal later!"

No one responded to his joke, which puzzled Xu Zhengxiu. Looking up again, he saw Kim Tae-hyun perched on the French windows like a giant monkey, his eyes practically telescopes. "Tae-hyun hyung, what are you looking at?"

Kim Tae-hyun waved his hand impatiently: "I've never seen anything like this before. I actually saw Jin-seo opening a car door for a woman?"

"He's still protecting the other person's head?"

Where is it? Where is it?

Li Guanglu and Xu Zhengxiu stood up together, and the three of them stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, watching Zhou Jinxu lead a tall woman out of the car.

Because she was going on a home visit, Xu Yanzhen dressed very elegantly today, wearing a simple sweater and jeans, with a long down jacket on top.

But a good figure can't be hidden even by a puffy down jacket.

Kim Tae-hyun squinted, carefully examining Seo Yeon-jin's figure: "Her body proportions are amazing."

Xu Zhengxiu stared intently at Xu Yanzhen: "Not only her figure, but her face is also very beautiful. How can there be such a beauty in this world? How old do you think she is? Is she 30?"

Since trying out the slicked-back hairstyle, Xu Yanzhen has basically been sporting this look on the streets. Simple, elegant, and sophisticated, it's the same today. This slicked-back style fully showcases her facial features, making her truly eye-catching.

Li Guanglu scrutinized her closely, his professional instincts kicking in: "Judging from her gait, I think she's at least 35, but I can't tell from her face."

Xu Zhengxiu exclaimed, "That's an amazing way to preserve youth!"

Xu Yanzhen saw three men standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window from afar, and the closer they got, the more surprised they became.

Xu Yanzhen glanced at Zhou Jinxu and asked, "Are they... your friends?"

"Yes, I'm sorry, you must have found this amusing." Zhou Jinxu forced a smile and glanced at the three people not far away: "It's probably because it's the first time I've brought a girl to meet them."

Xu Yanzhen slowed her pace and hesitated for a moment: "You...you've never had a girlfriend?"

This doesn't seem like it. A man this age should have experienced everything he's been through. A man like Zhou Jinxu probably has no shortage of women around him; after all, there are plenty of people eyeing him.

Zhou Jinxu chuckled: "No, I'm a rational person to the point of being demanding. I hope everything is under my control. Restraining one's desires and keeping oneself pure are, in my opinion, the standard for a mature man."

Xu Yanzhen asked curiously, "But you're so outstanding, you must have no shortage of girls around you, right?"

Seeing the questioning look in her eyes, Zhou Jinxu thought to himself that this was a good sign; she was starting to be curious about him. Since that was the case, he definitely had to say a few more words: "I haven't met anyone I like. I've said it before, I'm very picky."

Xu Yanzhen asked doubtfully, "Really? I think you're easy to get along with and don't have high demands."

Zhou Jinxu liked her very ordinary starry sky cup so much, is that considered demanding?

Zhou Jinxu was in a very good mood: "It depends on the person."

Xu Yanzhen's heart suddenly skipped a beat. She was about to ask another question when three men jogged over. They hugged and patted Zhou Jinxu's shoulders without any restraint, and when facing them, Zhou Jinxu lost some of his composure and became more relaxed.

Xu Yanzhen stood quietly to one side, watching the four greet each other.

She couldn't help but think of the group of four: Jin He, Yu Ning, Shi Cheng, and Chu Qian. Or was it that men usually make friends in groups of four?
