Quick Wear: Under the Skirt, All Beings Are Equal

With a click, the light in the confinement room was turned on. Xu Zhou, who was lying on the floor like a salted fish, had his eyelashes trembled slightly. He was confused for a moment when he opened his eyes, and then he quietly raised his head to look at the person who came.

Xu Ziying walked in, looked up and down the confinement room, her expression changed slightly, as if she was recalling something, and finally her gaze slowly fell on Xu Zhou who was lying in the middle.

"Move over to me."

She stretched out her hand and poked Xu Zhou. Her originally exquisite nails looked even more beautiful under the light, making her hands look even more icy, charming and sexy.

Xu Zhou did not move immediately, revealing a trace of reluctance. After all, he had been lying in this position for a long time, and even the floor was warm. In the end, he still moved as if he had no bones.

Xu Ziying naturally couldn't just lie on the ground like him, but took off her high heels, sat up cross-legged, and looked at Xu Zhou with a smile: "Nephew, I heard that you made some good friends, tell me about it."

"Prefer not to say."

During the days Xu Zhou stayed in the confinement room, his fine hair was slightly messy, adding a touch of unruly to his thick bookish air. He crossed his right leg over his left leg, staring at the snow-white ceiling. The soft light was not dazzling. The gold-rimmed glasses shone slightly under the light, and the eyes behind the glasses did not have much emotion.

The reason why he was willing to talk to Xu Ziying was mainly because although there was a generation difference between them, their ages were only a few years apart.

In the past, Xu Ziying was very naughty. She would fight today, climb over the wall tomorrow, and confess her love to the boy she liked at school the day after tomorrow. Her parents would be called in every once in a while.

Every time after getting into trouble, she would always be the first to admit her mistake, lower her head, and listen to the scolding from her elders like a quail, then she would run into the confinement room and lie down side by side with Xu Zhou.

At the beginning, neither of them paid any attention to each other.

Until one day, Xu Ziying followed the bad boys in the class to climb over the wall to skip classes and go to the Internet cafe to play games. She was caught and locked up in a solitary confinement room for two days to reflect on her mistakes.

Just when she was feeling bored, she saw Xu Zhou coming in, covered in wounds. He didn't even look at her and continued to lie on the ground in silence.

She nudged Xu Zhou lightly with her elbow, looking surprised: "Hey, how did you do this?"

"fight."

Xu Zhou said this impatiently, then turned over and closed his eyes to rest. However, his aunt seemed to have discovered some new world and insisted on talking to him for a long time.

Even if he didn't speak, the other party kept chattering.

After a few interactions, the two became close. Sometimes, when the other was locked up in the solitary confinement room, one would deliberately make mistakes and sneak some food into the room.

There was silence in the confinement room. Xu Ziying looked at the person next to her in silence for a while, then sighed.

"Aren't you going to ask me why I sigh?"

"Do not ask."

"I was having a great vacation when the old man called me and asked me to come back and give you some advice. You know what? I was so excited at the time, thinking that one of us had finally made it big enough to go against the old man."

"No, I bought a plane ticket and flew back overnight."

Xu Ziying chuckled, her eyes were like a pool of autumn water, and her soft and boneless little hand pushed Xu Zhou: "I guessed it right away, you must have been locked up again, but it seems that you are in good condition this time, which made me worry for nothing. Even the family doctor is ready and waiting downstairs, for fear that something bad will happen to you."

Xu Zhou did not respond. He had overcome his claustrophobia. Although he still felt a little uncomfortable in this closed and dark space, at least he did not feel as if he could not breathe as before.

"That guy named Su He must be a great person." Xu Ziying simply lay down like she did when she was a child. Just when she was about to cross her legs, she remembered that she was wearing a skirt, so she silently put her legs down.

"You care about your friends very much, and I believe they care about you too. I never thought that you would go against the family's decision for someone you've only known for a few years."

"Xuzhou, is this really worth it?"

“This is a question that has no merit.”

"If I choose a topic, spend a lot of time and money on it, and find out halfway through that the topic has no research value and continuing is just a waste of time, then I feel it is not worth it. If the topic I choose is difficult, and I work hard in the lab for several years and finally succeed, then I think it is worth it." Xu Zhou, who had been silent, suddenly spoke, his eyes reflecting the light, like hazy smoke, revealing a bit of silence.

"I am just staying here for a few days like I did when I was a child. I have neither sacrificed my life nor my health. You know, as long as I am willing to bow my head, I will still be the most perfect heir in Grandpa's mind."

"I don't have anything to show for myself, and I haven't paid anything for Su He and the others. Why do you ask if it's worth it?"

"This is like moral kidnapping, as if I lost something because of them, but in fact I didn't. Even if I really lost everything, I can't put the blame on them and let them bear this unwarranted burden."

Xu Ziying was stunned for a moment, then she lowered her eyes and said with a wry smile: "Xu Zhou, you have now become the most humane person in the Xu family."

"In fact, you know in your heart that Grandpa and his men have plenty of ways to deal with you. He just doesn't want to disappoint you and make you feel like you've been stabbed in the back. Su He's project must not be passed. Not only our Xu family, but also other big families in the circle will not allow it. In front of this huge profit pie, everyone allows someone to share a piece, but absolutely does not allow someone to overturn this pie, or even say that this pie is poisoned."

"There are many ways to prevent a grassroots person without any background from making a breakthrough. Aren't you very clear about those methods?"

Xu Ziying slowly analyzed the pros and cons with Xu Zhou, and there was no emotion in her cold voice: "With power and influence, there are people willing to risk their lives. Our Xu family just wants to stop him from overturning the cake, but some people really want to kill him and eliminate him as an eyesore."

Xu Zhou's expression changed slightly, and his hands beside him were shaking a little, but he tried hard to calm himself down.

"It seems that I underestimated the shamelessness of those people."

Xu Ziying chuckled, "Look at what you said. Which laboratory doesn't have informants like these people? If one move could affect the whole body, who would dare to take the gamble?"
