Chapter 206: Undercurrents are Hard to Calm

When Mu Zhengguang and Xu Ying arrived at Gu Tingzhou's house, Song Yihan was still taking a shower.

Song Yihan spent a long time cleaning her body and putting on light makeup. She was sure that this makeup would achieve the following effect: In the eyes of professionals, I am wearing makeup. In the eyes of Gu Tingzhou, I am not wearing makeup.

Song Yihan walked out of the bathroom wearing a newly bought yellow short-sleeved T-shirt and shorts.

Of the four people in the living room, she had only seen one. Zhao Yuxi was Gu Tingzhou's colleague, and the other three should be too, because Gu Tingzhou had said "only staff members can come here."

Song Yihan thought for a moment and prepared to say hello to these people to demonstrate her demeanor as a hostess.

"Song Yihan, your makeup looks great."

After these words were spoken, the other people looked at Song Yihan. They all wanted to know whether Song Yihan's makeup was really good.

Mu Zhengguang took a quick look and then looked away, while Xu Ying stared at her for a while. Neither of them noticed that Song Yihan was wearing makeup.

From the very beginning, Jiang Mengxi had been observing Song Yihan. She was very curious about why this person could take Gu Tingzhou away from Teacher Zhao.

Jiang Mengxi could tell that Song Yihan was wearing makeup, but even without makeup, she was prettier than Zhao Yuxi, taller than her, whiter than her, better developed than her, more energetic than her, cuter than her, and gentler than her, but are these external conditions really the main reasons?

After Song Yihan entered Gu Tingzhou's sight, he had been looking at her. Song Yihan's hair, which had just been washed and dried, fell naturally, like light, like water, like swaying grass, like lush leaves. There seemed to be water stains on her clean, white arms, which seemed to sparkle under the light, looking delicate and exquisite.

Song Yihan cursed Zhao Yuxi several times in her heart, but the smile on her face did not change. She pretended to be proud and enthusiastic and responded to Zhao Yuxi: "Thank you for the compliment. I just put on a little bit of makeup. I will teach you how to put on makeup when I have time."

"Okay, I'll wait. You and Gu Tingzhou have been reunited after a long time, so I'll treat you to a meal to celebrate. These three are Gu Tingzhou's colleagues. This girl who is about my age is a professor with a monthly salary of several hundred thousand. These two have special positions, so I won't tell you about them. They are still in high school and have a monthly salary of 32."

Jiang Mengxi didn't want to listen to her talk about "great professor". If there were no outsiders here, she might be willing to enjoy Zhao Yuxi's flattery. But in this situation, enjoying this title is meaningless.

She thought she probably understood why Zhao Yuxi emphasized makeup and monthly salary: Song Yihan wore light makeup, and it was hard to tell if you didn't look carefully. Someone like Gu Tingzhou wouldn't be able to tell even if he looked carefully. Zhao Yuxi was praising Song Yihan's good makeup on the surface, but in fact she was telling everyone present that Song Yihan wore makeup. As for the monthly salary, it was easier to understand. Zhao Yuxi didn't need to explain to Song Yihan what was special about this job and how much power it involved. Just telling her how high the income was was enough to arouse her envy and jealousy.

Notes danced in Zhao Yuxi's eyes. People's emotions and lies could not escape her eyes. She saw that Song Yihan was angry, and she saw that Song Yihan lied. In just one short sentence, she told three lies. Song Yihan's "thank you for the compliment" was a lie. In her heart, she must have thought that such praise was justified.

What Song Yihan said about “a little bit of makeup” was a lie. It is not difficult to guess that she spent a lot of time and effort to achieve this light makeup that was barely noticeable.

What Song Yihan said, “I will teach you how to put on makeup when I have time” is also a lie. Her real thought should be, “Even if I have time, I will not teach you how to put on makeup”.

While Zhao Yuxi was looking at Song Yihan, he glanced at Gu Tingzhou out of the corner of his eye. There was admiration and desire in his eyes.

I can see that you like Song Yihan very much, but this kind of liking is meaningless and wrong.

The more Zhao Yuxi looked, the more heartbroken she felt, but she couldn't help but look. She was tormented and painful inside, but she didn't stop watching Gu Tingzhou.

Xu Ying was also looking at Gu Tingzhou. There was no doubt that Gu Tingzhou liked Song Yihan very much. She saw his expression, his movements, his seriousness, and his yearning. But it was still unknown whether Song Yihan liked Gu Tingzhou. Zhao Yuxi talked about everyone's income, and at that moment, Song Yihan's expression changed. What flowed through her heart was not only surprise and envy, but perhaps something else.

Song Yihan was indeed envious of their income, but that was not what she envied the most. No matter how high other people's income was, it had nothing to do with her, not to mention that Gu Tingzhou's income was not low. What she envied was the age of those two people. They were so young and already in important positions? At least they had to be medieval people, right? Why could they get such power and such a position, but I couldn't!
Zhao Yuxi saw jealousy, anger, and greed in Song Yihan, so she decided to add fuel to the fire, preferably one that Song Yihan herself started. She was waiting for Song Yihan to suffer the consequences.

Song Yihan shifted her attention to other people. She was afraid that if she kept looking at Zhao Yuxi, her anger would overwhelm her reason. This person was so annoying. She felt annoyed as soon as she saw her. She couldn't look at her anymore.

The professor doesn't seem to be anything special. If you only look at her appearance, the high school girl has some outstanding qualities. Not to mention compared with others, at least she is prettier than Zhao Yuxi. A girl of this age can actually have such a figure. Moreover, this figure on her does not make people feel seductive, but complete and comprehensive. Can I learn from her temperament and make Gu Tingzhou like me more?
Is that boy who is in high school always looking at that girl? What is the relationship between them? Have they known each other for a long time? If I could get into the same high school as Gu Tingzhou, if I had been with Gu Tingzhou in high school, then my position would definitely be unshakable by now. It's a pity that I didn't get into the same high school as him. What a pity.

Song Yihan looked at Gu Tingzhou tenderly: "These two high school classmates seem to be a good match. It would be great if I could meet you when I was in high school."

Zhao Yuxi seized the opportunity and immediately retorted: "You don't need to wait until high school, you met him in junior high school."

Song Yihan's anger was ignited again. She could not bear this kind of "humiliation", but she did not dare to argue with Zhao Yuxi because Zhao Yuxi was telling the truth. If she reasoned with her, she would definitely be at a disadvantage.

Gu Tingzhou felt a vague sadness in his heart, and he didn't dare to think about it anymore. He pretended not to hear what Zhao Yuxi said, and he also pretended not to hear the second sentence Song Yihan said. He only responded to Song Yihan's first sentence: "Of course they are a good match, they are very good friends."
