C86 Domination and Possessiveness
Before I could go over and explain the situation to O'Jia Rui, he was already one step away from me. I tore open the envelope and took out a rather stiff greeting card style item. My heart skipped a beat.
"Students are sincerely invited to watch the School's Arts Group perform in the fourth reporting hall on Saturday night …" When O'Jia Rui read it out loud, my hanging heart eased a little.
I walked over and took the invitation from O'Jia Rui. After carefully reading it, I saw that it was an invitation from the school's Arts Council regarding the graduation performance. It was a very formal and official statement.
Just when O'Jia Rui and I thought that this matter was over, a piece of paper suddenly fell out of the envelope. There were a few lines of small words written on it, and when O'Jia Rui and I picked it up to read, my face couldn't help but turn red.
"Hello, fellow student. Ever since I saw you in class last week, the thing that has been lingering in my mind is your figure. Right now, I'm very sincere in inviting you to go to the school's performance, I don't know if you are willing or not." When you see this letter, you can always contact me. I look forward to your reply. "
At the end of the note, there was a boy's signature and a string of phone numbers. I felt that it was a little funny, and at the same time, I was impressed by the tradition of boys studying literature.
Without another word, Ou Jia Rui took out her phone and gave the guy a message. She simply said, "No, don't bother Zhou Xinyao again in the future. I'm Ou Jia Rui."
The truly influential people would never introduce themselves to the masses. Instead, they would say their own name and others would know who you were. It was obvious that Ou Jia Rui was very confident in this. However, I felt a headache coming on. After all, the low profile image that I had meticulously maintained for so long was about to be discovered.
Fortunately, the boy understood that he had no hope, so he didn't continue to pester him. Since I didn't know who he was, anyone with even the slightest bit of knowledge in B would probably recognize Ou Jia Rui.
I tentatively told Ou Jia Rui, who couldn't tell what was going on, "I don't know who this person is nor do I know what's going on. It's just that I went out for a while today and came back with this thing in my school bag."
"Even the president and wife of the Ou family have the guts to think about this boy's future." As soon as I said that, I realized that the undergraduate in my third year was a lot younger than I was. After that, I gave up wearing simple young clothes to attend classes and went back to dressing up as an adult woman.
Sure enough, for the rest of the classes, no matter what kind of projects I had on hand, Ou Jia Rui would accompany me in distinguishing between a classroom and a classroom, or at the very least send me off to class instead.
I was well aware of Ou Jia Rui's intentions, but his strong possessiveness had unwittingly added a significant amount of chips to the hidden "Leaving my family and Ou Jia Rui" thought in my heart.
The next few days were quite calm. Although Ou Jia Rui did mind that I was being courted, the best thing about it was that he would never blame it on me, much less vent his anger on me. Just from this alone, Ou Jia Rui was able to surpass many men, if she ignored this intense desire for possession and control.
In this period of time, Zhao Yuhao was handling business in his own family's company. He didn't contact us, but our family had only known each other for a short period of time, so there wasn't anything that I wasn't used to.
However, without my knowledge, rumors about my identity had already spread around the school.
Almost everyone thought that I was the quality husband who had been doted on and cared for by Ou Jia Rui. At the same time, many of Zhao Yuhao's little beauties, after knowing that we had already become friends, were secretly envious and jealous.
On the agreed weekend with Zhao Yuhao, Zhao Yuhao disappeared for several days, and as promised, he arrived. Early in the morning, he stood at the entrance of my apartment building, carrying a huge mountaineering bag on his back.
I packed everything we could possibly use into a large school bag. The zipper was almost unable to hold on to it, while O'Jia Rui took a small school bag from the side and filled it with some defensive items and emergency medicine boxes.
After everything was ready, Ou Jia Rui took the initiative to pick up my bigger and heavier bag, and took the lighter and smaller bag with me as I rode. I then left the room.
Before understanding the price of his bike, I had felt that he was the Qing Liu of Ou Jia Rui's group. To think that a trip that held the power of a listed company depended entirely on a bicycle.
However, during a casual chat, he found out that the price of Zhao Yuhao's bicycle was comparable to a family car. To him, riding a bicycle in school could satisfy his physical training requirements while at the same time keeping a low profile. Sure enough, capitalists are the same class of exploiters.
Since I didn't know the way to the scenic spot, I could only follow the two men who were leading the way, riding a bicycle of the same style as O'Jia Rui.
B City was not a very typical northern city. Due to its proximity to the sea, even though it was in the middle of summer, the air did not feel too hot or stuffy.
After riding on our bicycles and stopping along the way, we would occasionally increase our speed. In two hours, we arrived at a special location and scenery mentioned by Ou Jia Rui and Zhao Yuhao.
I am surprised that in a place with such a developed economy and industry, B City still retains such a paradise. To this day, there is a forest beside a huge lake. There are a lot of trees planted here that one would know to be very old, and it can be said to be a good place to develop a vacation.
The three of us sat on top of a large tablecloth. We chatted idly, the wind blowing from the lake in a dense mist, driving us away from the heat of the long journey.
Ou Jia Rui sat between me and Zhao Yuhao, as if she was intentionally separating the two of us. Zhao Yuhao seemed to have sensed it, but Ou Jia Rui's attitude didn't affect the two of us.
"Zhao Yuhao, it wasn't easy for us to come here. Can you take a photo for Yao Yao and me to commemorate the first time she went out for school." Ou Jia Rui took out a miniature SLR camera from her schoolbag and handed it to Zhao Yuhao, then pulled me to a place where the lake's angle was better and the scenery was better.
Without any reason to reject him, Zhao Yuhao could only accept his fate and receive the camera, while aiming it at me and Ou Jia Rui.
"I'm ready for the shoot. Three, two, one!" Zhao Yuhao was serious.
A second before the flash came on, Ou Jia Rui, who had only used one arm to hold me, suddenly stretched out her arms and held me horizontally. My feet suddenly hung in the air, causing me to cry out involuntarily.
My face immediately turned red. Even though we had already lived together for a long time, I would still feel a little shy because I was close to Ou Jia Rui in front of Zhao Yuhao.
When Zhao Yuhao showed the photo to us, it was a deep lake and a deep forest. The tall and handsome man was carrying a petite girl, and even I felt that the two people in the photo were a match made in heaven. He was very satisfied and said he would wash the photos and put them in his home and office when he got back.
Perhaps because he had been moved by the photo, Zhao Yuhao stuffed the camera back into Ou Jia Rui's hands. "I've ridden so many times, and I've been alone most of the time. Here, take a picture for me. This place is pretty nice."
I followed behind the camera and watched as Ou Jia Rui captured quite a few of Zhao Yuhao. In the midst of the green mountains and the green waters, a handsome and robust man with sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes, I suddenly felt that the current Zhao Yuhao was somewhat like a swordsman.
While I was lamenting over how Ou Jia Rui's photographic skills were superb, Zhao Yuhao suddenly waved at me. "Come, junior sister. Let's take a picture together. At least you and I are fellow students of the B University. Let's commemorate our first trip together." I walked over to him.
When Zhao Yuhao raised his arm, he naturally wanted to place it on my shoulder. After moving halfway, as if he had thought of something, he lowered his arm and returned to his back. I, who had been watching the scene, had no way of knowing all of this.
When Zhao Yuhao and I were smiling towards the camera, Ou Jia Rui had hurriedly suggested that we eat together. Even when Zhao Yuhao was looking at the photo, he had calmly said, "When you and our Yao Yao laugh, you really do look like siblings."
The similarly expressionless Zhao Yuhao also replied, "Actually, it's not necessarily only siblings that can be similar."
I, who was always more sensitive, seemed to be able to smell the faint smell of gunpowder that permeated the air between the two men. However, when I thought about how both men were outstanding men that countless girls in B City dreamt of, how could I possibly cause any conflicts between the two of them because of me?
After packing up, the three of us slowly cycled to find a restaurant nearby to eat. "Yao Yao is tired?" O'Jia Rui asked.
Forgetting my tiredness, I shake my head at the novelty and ease of the moment.
