Financial freedom starts from graduation

Chapter 192 I Want to Be Friends with You

With the comfort of Hua Suisui and Wang Xiaoxiao, Endme, who was cheerful by nature, quickly adjusted her mood. She placed her phone on the table with the screen facing down, and a bright smile appeared on her face.

"I'm fine, let's continue drinking. We still have a lot of Lafite left, we can't waste it~"

Endme chuckled and raised his glass to Zhou Wang and Hua Suisui first.

It seemed that everything was the same as before, but Zhou Wang was still keenly aware that Endme had restrained himself a lot. He no longer made any ambiguous jokes with him and deliberately kept a distance in his words.

It seems that her boyfriend has a great influence on her...

Is it true love?
"If that doesn't work, you can drink less, or drink juice like Wang Xiaoxiao. It's better not to make your boyfriend worry too much."

Zhou Wang thought about it, smiled and spoke proactively.

Facing Zhou Wang's sincere eyes, Endme was stunned and felt a little touched. Then he avoided Zhou Wang's gaze embarrassedly.

"Don't worry about him. He's probably just a bit possessive. This isn't the first time we've had a fight over this... Well, let me toast you a glass. Thank you for your hospitality today."

Zhou Wang nodded in understanding and clinked glasses lightly with Endme.

The dinner continued. Because Endme came back, Hua Suisui was no longer as intimate with Zhou Wang as before.

In fact, Hua Suisui is not the kind of girl who can't hold herself back, especially since her public persona is that of a shy little sister...

The reason why she lost her composure a little and even took the initiative just now was because she sensed a sense of crisis from the look in Zhou Wang's eyes when he looked at Endme...

Most girls are sensitive, especially Hua Suisui, who has enough experience and is in the live streaming industry. Although Zhou Wang did not show it obviously, she still noticed that Endme seemed to have an inexplicable attraction to Zhou Wang.

Fortunately, Endme's boyfriend's call came in time. Otherwise, even if there was no call, Hua Suisui would have been thinking about how to subtly point out that Endme already had a boyfriend...

Zhou Wang, a man she has identified as a potential male god, can't possibly be a thief, right?
With Hua Suisui's limited experience in love, she could only comfort herself in this way.

After the atmosphere became lively again, the first bottle of Lafite was about to be finished. At this time, Xiao An looked at Zhou Wang with an inquiring look.

"Mr. Zhou, would you like to open the second bottle?"

"Can you guys still drink?"

Zhou Wang hesitated for a moment and asked Hua Suisui and Endme.

It’s not that he was reluctant to do so. In fact, after placing the order, this kind of high-end wine could not be returned from the moment it left the warehouse. However, he hesitated because he saw that Hua Suisui and Endme both looked a little drunk.

The seating arrangement at this time was also very interesting. Endme had sat on Zhou Wang's left side at some point, so she and Hua Suisui sat on Zhou Wang's left and right respectively. Wang Xiaoxiao sat in the seat before Endme.

It seems that just now Endme wanted to show Zhou Wang her makeup-free photos on her phone to prove her natural beauty, so she switched seats with Wang Xiaoxiao...

From the looks of it, both girls seemed a little dizzy, but Zhou Wang always felt that Hua Suisui was just acting, while Endme really had a poor alcohol tolerance.

At this moment, she could no longer sit up straight and could only lean lightly on the chair. Her rosy face looked like a peeled boiled egg, round, tender and attractive.

"I can!"

Hua Suisui was the first to respond. Her upper body, which was wearing a shoulder-baring suspender top, swayed back and forth, and always rubbed against Zhou Wang inadvertently.

Endme hesitated briefly, but somehow, he still couldn't say anything to refuse.

It was quite magical. She felt that she and Zhou Wang had an inexplicable affinity...

In fact, because of her own experience, she was quite picky about boys, but she felt inexplicably comfortable getting along with Zhou Wang. Originally, Endme only planned to have a drink as a token of her appreciation, but she ended up drinking almost three glasses without realizing it.

"My name is Ji Xiaoxi..."

Endme, who was a little dizzy, thought about it and started talking.

Zhou Wang was stunned for a moment, then realized that this was the other party's real name. He remembered that Endme had a nickname called "Sister Xi".

"Hello, Sister Xi, I'm your brother Zhou Wang."

Zhou Wang directly changed the name.

"Hate it, everyone else calls me sister, how can you take advantage of me like this!"

Endme said angrily, but there was a smile on the corner of her mouth, "Besides, if you just graduated from college, I am still older than you...Brother Zhou Wang!"

"Where's the big one?"

Zhou Wang asked the question seriously, but this only earned him a burst of anger from Endme, who was already sensitive in this regard. She also hit him with her little fist, but was easily subdued by Zhou Wang.

Endme's small tender hand was held by Zhou Wang at her neck. There was the scent of an unknown brand of hand cream. Although it was very faint, it still smelled good like lemon.

"You... let go!"

Endme was stunned for a moment and wanted to pull back her hand, but although her hands were smooth enough, Zhou Wang's hands were also rough enough, so the friction between them canceled each other out, making Ji Xiaoxi's face even redder.

She felt regretful and a little excited. She had been deliberately keeping a distance from Zhou Wang, but why did she lose her mind and actively extend her hand to him...

At this time, it was Wang Xiaoxiao who was standing by and interrupted their "interaction", which made Hua Suisui, who didn't know how to intervene, breathe a sigh of relief.

"that……"

When Zhou Wang looked over, Endme quickly took the opportunity to take her little hand back, put it on her leg and gently kneaded it, but she seemed to still be able to feel the remaining hot temperature, which made her heart beat a little faster.

"Zhou Wang, Sui Sui, and Xi Xi, I may have to go first."

Wang Xiaoxiao smiled and spoke to the three of them.

"Ah, but it's only nine o'clock now, it's not too late, Xiaoxiao, don't you want to play for a while longer?"

Hua Suisui glanced at her phone and asked in confusion: "Don't tell me you're sleepy, I don't believe it!"

"No, I'm not feeling well. I have a meeting tomorrow, and I'm afraid I won't be in good shape by then, so I want to go back to the hotel and rest first..."

Wang Xiaoxiao explained, then looked at Zhou Wang, "Zhou Wang, is this okay?"

In response to Wang Xiaoxiao's question that seemed to be seeking his opinion, Zhou Wang just smiled faintly.

She finally remembered that she had a "mission"...

But since she said she was not feeling well, what else could Zhou Wang say? Besides, he had basically lost interest in Wang Xiaoxiao at this point. In fact, the two of them probably said no more than twenty sentences tonight, and most of them were just official chats...

"Of course, then you can go back first. Do you need me to arrange a car to take you?"

Zhou Wang nodded.

"No, no, I can just take a taxi..."

Wang Xiaoxiao stood up and waved, then walked out with Xiao An seeing her off. Endme, who was still a little dizzy, did not move, but just waved to Wang Xiaoxiao, but Hua Suisui thought about it and stood up.

"Zhou Wang, can I go see her off?"

"it is good."

"Xiao Xiao may not be able to adapt to these occasions. She has always been a little slow. It was because she didn't understand the ways of the world that she was hidden by her previous company... Brother Zhou Wang, please don't mind!"

Before Hua Suisui left, she hesitated for a moment and whispered something to Zhou Wang, then made a coquettish gesture.

"Everyone has their own unique faces. Don't worry, I don't care."

Zhou Wang smiled faintly and waved his hand.

Seeing that Zhou Wang really didn't seem to take it to heart, Hua Suisui hurriedly chased after him.

At this time, Zhou Wang and Endme were the only ones left in the private room.

Facing Zhou Wang's gaze, Endme suddenly realized that she had been a little careless. She should have gone out with Hua Suisui...

However, when Endme sat up straight nervously, Zhou Wang did not say anything teasing, and even looked more serious than before. He just asked her:
"We're almost done eating. Do you want to go somewhere else and continue playing?"

Zhou Wang was originally preparing to open the second bottle of Lafite, but after being interrupted by Wang Xiaoxiao, he realized that it was indeed not early and there was no point in staying in the restaurant any longer.

As for that bottle of Lafite, just put it aside for now. It doesn’t matter when you drink it.

"Ah, do you want to continue playing?"

Endme hesitated after hearing this. She glanced at her phone on the table and said, "But it seems a little late..."

"Nine o'clock isn't too late, right? For people in developed places like you, shouldn't the nightlife just be beginning?"

Zhou Wang smiled and said, "I am a country boy from a remote province, and I am still waiting for you to show me the world!"

He really wanted to stay with Endme for a while longer... Mainly because he wanted to figure out what she was hiding that caused the system to give a rainbow exclamation mark prompt.

"A country boy wouldn't drink 82 Lafite or wear a limited edition Rolex... But Zhou Wang, where can we go?"

Endme burst out laughing at first, and then asked hesitantly.

When she spoke, she deliberately did not look at Zhou Wang.

"I want to go to a nightclub in Hangzhou and have some fun. Are you interested?"

Zhou Wang said calmly.

He had made some small plans when he came to Hangzhou, one of which was to visit the nightclubs in the big city and broaden his horizons. The timing was quite suitable.

...In fact, he had not been to a few proper nightclubs in Mingcheng. Most of the time he went to various small bars. After all, he did not have the money to spend before.

"A bar?"

Endme's face was obviously moved, but she shook her head subconsciously, "I never go to places like that... they feel very messy."

"Never been there?" Zhou Wang was a little surprised.

"If you don't count the quiet bars near the university town, I've never been there..."

Endme answered honestly, "I actually like all kinds of music festivals."

"That's not the same thing. Actually, I've never been there. Do you want to go and experience it together?"

Zhou Wang didn't expect that Endme was such a "good girl". It was rare to find a young girl of her type who had never been to a nightclub.

Endme raised her head and was about to say something, but she met Zhou Wang's eyes. Her cheeks blushed slightly, and she couldn't say no for a moment. Inexplicably panicked, Endme hurriedly stood up.

"I...I'm going to the bathroom."

But I didn't feel it when I was sitting. As soon as I stood up, I found that I was more dizzy than I thought, and I staggered.

Zhou Wang subconsciously reached out and grasped Endme's slender waist, holding her steadily.

Intuitively, it feels thin and soft...very comfortable to rub.

Endme, who was half sitting in Zhou Wang's arms, felt shy and anxious. She was about to struggle to get up when the door of the private room was pushed open. The first person to walk in was Hua Suisui. This would have been nothing, but behind Hua Suisui there was a tall young man following.

The young man was about twenty years old, about 1.8 meters tall, very handsome, and looked like a European or American model.

"Xixi, your boyfriend...ah!"

Hua Suisui, who was walking in front, had just spoken a few words when she saw Zhou Wang hugging Endme, and she couldn't help but exclaimed subconsciously.

I was away for just a short while and Zhou Wang and Endme were already hugging each other?

Hua Suisui, who was a little confused, quickly realized that this was not the point, and she knew Endme, and the other party's personality was not that open, so this was most likely some kind of misunderstanding.

The issue is……

The person following behind me is Endme's boyfriend!
Endme also saw her boyfriend. After a moment of shock, she hurriedly stood up from Zhou Wang's arms, but it was too late. Like Hua Suisui, the tall young man also saw the whole scene.

"Xiaoxi, you...what are you doing?!"

Endme's boyfriend's face instantly turned pale, and he asked with some disbelief.

"Chen He, don't get me wrong. I almost fell down just now, and Zhou Wang just helped me up..."

Endme said eagerly.

"And I just happened to see it?"

Chen He laughed and trembled with anger, "You are acting in a TV series here, do you think I will believe it?"

"But I didn't do anything, you...believe it or not!"

Endme, not knowing how to explain, pursed his lips, looking a little aggrieved.

At this time, Hua Suisui on the side blinked and spoke for Endme.

"Chen He, you may have really misunderstood Xixi. She was a little dizzy just now, so she didn't go out with me to see Xiaoxiao off. Besides, Xiaoxiao and I have been here the whole time. Do you think Xixi would do anything to let you down?"

After hearing what Hua Suisui said, Chen He's face looked better. He thought that Endme was not the type to do anything reckless...

He had been pursuing her for two and a half years since they met. He knew better than anyone that although Endme seemed cheerful and loved to laugh, she was actually more difficult to approach than any other girl.

But when he saw the empty bottle of Lafite on the table and Endme's red cheeks, Chen He couldn't help but get angry:
"Didn't you tell me you didn't drink much? This is your 'not drunk much'?" "A few glasses of red wine isn't too much, right?"

Endme was over the initial panic and started to get angry. "Also, Chen He, why did you come here without saying anything? Are you checking on me?"

"If you hadn't been ignoring my messages, why would I have come here?"

After Chen He finished speaking, he pointed at Zhou Wang and asked, "Also, you told me that it was just a gathering of a few girlfriends, so who is this person, and why did you sit next to him and stay alone in the private room with him?"

Zhou Wang, who originally had no intention of saying anything, frowned upon seeing this and said calmly, "Just speak properly and don't point fingers."

"What's wrong with me pointing at you?"

Chen He, who was already drunk, sneered at Zhou Wang. He had been unhappy with Zhou Wang since the first time he saw him. It would be fine if he just looked like a decent person, but he could even afford to drink 82 Lafite. How come all the good things in the world have been taken by you?
At this moment, he finally found an excuse and was about to walk towards Zhou Wang.

But before he could show the pressure of his 1-meter height, a dark shadow flashed behind him. Before Chen He could even react, he felt a pain in his calf and a sense of weightlessness. Amid the screams of the two girls, Chen He was pressed face down to the ground.

Half of his face came into close contact with the smooth floor. His tall figure now looked more like a twisting fish, but no matter how he struggled, he could not lift his head.

"Fuck... Ugh!"

After just one curse, Chen He let out a wail because of the severe pain in his arm and could not utter any more words.

Kneeling on Chen He was a sturdy man in a neat suit. He was Xiao Biao, the "assistant" assigned to Zhou Wang by Zhang Shihao.

Since Zhou Wang started dining, Xiao Biao has been waiting near the private room, but he never showed up to disturb Zhou Wang...

Xiao Biao silently suppressed Chen He. After the other party behaved himself, he raised his head and looked at Zhou Wang with an inquiring look.

At this time, Endme and Hua Suisui also came to their senses and realized that the man in the suit was probably Zhou Wang's bodyguard or something.

"Zhou Wang, can you let him go..."

Endme couldn't help but look at Zhou Wang.

"Zhou Wang, let's just forget it. Chen He is not a bad person. He was probably just a little impulsive just now..."

Hua Suisui also began to persuade cautiously at this time.

Zhou Wang, with no expression on his face, looked a little helpless.

It makes me look like a villain!
He nodded at Chen He and said, "Let him go."

"Yes, Mr. Zhou!"

Xiao Biao responded and then let go of Chen He on the ground.

Chen He was unable to stand up at the first moment. He gritted his teeth and moved his arms before he stood up with difficulty.

There was still some anger on his face, but he didn't dare say anything more to Zhou Wang.

"Sui Sui, and... Zhou Wang, I'm sorry for today. I'll go back first."

Endme forced a smile at the two of them, then picked up her LV bag and walked out of the private room without looking back.

"Xiaoxi..."

Chen He hurriedly chased after him.

Xiao Biao bowed slightly to Zhou Wang and left the room again. Xiao An, who had just been standing at the door, walked back in and apologized to Zhou Wang: "I'm sorry, Mr. Zhou, I thought that man was your friend, so I didn't stop him..."

Zhou Wang waved his hand to stop her from continuing.

Hua Suisui trotted over at this time, grabbed Zhou Wang's arm, shook it gently, lowered her head and whispered: "Zhou Wang, it's my fault. I didn't know that Chen He came here without telling Xixi..."

"It has nothing to do with you. Besides, I didn't do anything wrong. They are boyfriend and girlfriend, so this kind of thing is normal."

Zhou Wang really didn't take this matter seriously, and signaled Hua Suisui not to worry about it. He just casually asked, "What does Chen He do?"

"He's a model, and he's doing pretty well in his circle. He's okay with ordinary people, but it's probably because he cares too much about Xixi. Hehe, he pursued Xixi for more than two years before Xixi agreed to him..."

Zhou Wang nodded in understanding after hearing this. No wonder this guy was so tall.

After saying a few words, Hua Suisui finally felt relieved when she saw that Zhou Wang really didn't seem angry. She blinked at Zhou Wang, as if she was a little shy:

"So now there are only two of us left...what should we do?"

Hua Suisui was quite happy. Although there had been some twists and turns, she was very satisfied with the current situation.

It just so happened that her agent Lin Ran was extremely busy these past two days and had no time to discipline her. Hua Suisui was inexplicably a little excited and a little expectant.

As she thought about it, she secretly glanced at Zhou Wang and her face turned even redder.

This time she wasn't acting, she was really a little shy.

……

Downstairs of Hangzhou Binjiang Olympic Sports Center Atour S Hotel.

Two taxis stopped at the roadside one after the other. After Endme got out of the taxi, he walked towards the hotel with an expressionless face.

Chen He hurriedly caught up with Endme and tried to hold her hand, but she shook him off.

"Xiaoxi, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I've just figured it out. I was too sensitive... I shouldn't have gone to you without telling you, and I shouldn't have misunderstood you!"

Chen He stood in front of Endme and said hurriedly.

"Since you already know all this, why are you still so impulsive? You just yelled at me..."

Endme pouted when she heard that, and a hint of annoyance appeared on her delicate face, but she still stopped.

"I'm sorry, I really care about you too much. If I don't react at all when I see you with another boy, wouldn't that be a problem?"

Chen He persuaded earnestly: "I definitely believe you, don't I know you..."

Chen He coaxed her for a long time before Endme finally hummed, "Okay, I'll forgive you this time!"

Finally, she took another look at the remaining bruises on Chen He's arm and said with some distress: "This... does it still hurt?"

"One more thing." Chen He smiled and waved his hands, "But if Sister Xi can kiss me, then it definitely won't hurt."

"No, there are so many people here!"

Seeing that Chen He wanted to hug her in his arms, Endme shyly stopped him.

"Xiaoxi... that guy called Zhou Wang, can you please stop associating with him from now on?"

Chen He didn't force it, but just hesitated for a moment and then spoke.

"He is Sui Sui's friend, we just met, if you think wrongly I will ignore you!"

Endme frowned.

"I know, I know. You don't know that many boys anyway... What I mean is, if it's not necessary, you should have less contact with each other. Just think of it as a way to stop me from thinking too much, okay?"

"ok, I get it……"

Faced with her boyfriend's pleading, Endme softened her heart and nodded.

"hey-hey……"

"Then I'll go up. You should go back and rest early. Don't we have a shoot tomorrow?"

"But I want to stay with you for a while. Can I go up and sit with you?"

"No... Don't I know what you are thinking?"

Endme snorted and immediately refused.

"But Xiaoxi, we've been together for more than half a year, so it's time for some substantial progress, right?"

"Chen He, we agreed that you can't do this before we get engaged. You clearly promised me that, and you know how strict my education is..."

"Well... okay then, don't worry, Xiaoxi, I will absolutely respect your wishes!"

Although he was so anxious that he was scratching his head, Chen He finally agreed reluctantly. On the contrary, because of Endme's insistence, Chen He felt regretful but also relieved.

In fact, isn't it Endme's "purity" that he values?

Endme watched Chen He get into the taxi, then took out his cell phone and opened WeChat.

She and Zhou Wang had just added each other as friends half an hour ago, but the chat interface was still blank except for the sentence "We can start chatting."

"I'm at the hotel..."

Endme typed out five words, hesitated for a moment, and then cleared the text.

She looked again at her boyfriend who was waving at her through the car window, and finally made up her mind. She put away her phone and waved to Chen He with a smile.

……

"Wow, so big!"

In the courtyard of the ambassador’s three-bedroom residence at the Four Seasons of West Lake, Hua Suisui uttered a cry of exclamation.

Because Zhou Wang expressed his desire to go to a nightclub, Xiao An was busy helping Zhou Wang book a table. Since he still had to wait a while, Zhou Wang decided to come back and change his clothes, and by the way, satisfy Hua Suisui's wish to visit the "90,000 yuan room".

"But it seems that it can't compare with your mansion in Mingcheng..."

Hua Suisui looked around and then laughed again.

"Mingcheng and Hangzhou can't compare."

Zhou Wang replied with a smile.

"But I think Mingcheng is pretty good. It would be nice to settle down there in the future..."

Hua Suisui bit her lip and glanced at Zhou Wang.

At this time, the two of them walked to the corner of the stairs. Hearing this, Zhou Wang looked at Hua Suisui.

In the narrow space, Hua Suisui also stopped. She looked straight at Zhou Wang, her face a little blushing, but her eyes did not move away.

Zhou Wang suddenly discovered that Hua Suisui was a little different at this moment, different from her before and also different from her on the live broadcast camera.

"Zhou Wang..."

Hua Suisui was about to say something when her cell phone rang. She took a look and quickly hung up.

"Your photographer?"

Zhou Wang saw the note of the contact "Eleven".

"It must be my sister Ran's agent who found that she couldn't contact me, so she asked Eleven to find me... I was supposed to do a live broadcast today, and I even informed my fans in the group."

Hua Suisui stuck out her tongue.

"You just dumped your fans out, is that okay?"

"It's okay. I'll ask Eleven to tell him that I'm not feeling well. My fans will understand..."

The brief ambiguous atmosphere was interrupted by a phone call. The two chatted and laughed, and Hua Suisui followed Zhou Wang closely to the master bedroom on the second floor.

Zhou Wang didn't avoid her. He took off his shirt and went to the cloakroom.

The clothes brought from Mingcheng had been sorted into different categories by Jiang Qingkui and Xu Wenxi, who had even helped Zhou Wang match them by color. Zhou Wang didn't need to think too much and could just change them.

Looking at Zhou Wang's naked upper body, his strong back and well-defined abdominal muscles under the warm yellow light, Hua Suisui couldn't help but swallowed quietly.

She looked around and then bit her lip lightly.

Zhou Wang took out a Versace T-shirt from the closet, but before he could put it on, his vision suddenly went dark. He was wondering if there would be a power outage in a hotel of this level, when a powerful shock wave came from his back and he was hugged tightly.

"Sui Sui, you..."

In the darkness, warmth enveloped Zhou Wang from behind. Zhou Wang was startled for a moment before he reacted.

"Zhou Wang, I want to be friends with you."

Hua Suisui leaned her head on Zhou Wang's back and spoke softly.

　My work and rest schedule has been disrupted these past two days, and I haven't adjusted yet. Plus, I have to change the contract for the novel, so the update schedule is a bit off. Don't mind, I won't stop updating in principle...

　　There are a lot of things to write about Hangzhou, both career and love are involved, and I have to lay the groundwork and establish the character. Please be patient, I will try my best to write it more excitingly...

　　Thank you all for your monthly tickets.
