The Male Lead’s Substitute Wife

Ch.408 Give Me A Chance (2)

Su Yaya rented the place, Zhou Zhengqi helped her to review the rental contract to confirm that all the needed terms and conditions were written in the contract, in hopes that there would be no conflicts between the both of them.

Su Yaya teased him: "Are you doing all this for your friend or to help me?"

Zhou Zhengqi said solemnly: "I am standing on the neutral and fair side. You are all my friends. I am helping him as well as you."

It was a good point, Su Yaya covered her mouth and chuckled, her affection towards Zhou Zhengqi steadily increased.

……

Once everything was settled, Su Yaya used the weekend to clean the house and prepared to move in.

On the day of cleaning, Zhou Zhengqi also came over to help. Su Yaya saw that he was wearing a suit and tie and was way too ashamed to let him clean with a rag and said, "It's fine, I can do this on my own."

However, Zhou Zhengqi swiftly took off his suit, unbuttoned his cufflinks, picked up a rag and started wiping the windows, tables and chairs.

Seeing that he had taken the initiative to do so, and was working extremely hard, Su Yaya decided it was not the best to stop him, so she ended up saying: "When we're done cleaning, I'll treat you to dinner."

Zhou Zhengqi was cleaning the window sill, he said without even turning back: "Okay."

"What do you want to eat?" Su Yaya asked while mopping the floor.

Zhou Zhengqi looked at the sparkling clean window that he had polished, and his smile was reflected on it. He was super delighted, "I'm craving Mala Hotpot."

Uh……

Su Yaya was stunned, and thought to herself: Her CEO helped to clean her house. Wouldn't it be a bad idea to take him out for Mala Hotpot?

As soon as this thought emerged in her mind, she heard Zhou Zhengqi quickly explain: "Don't get me wrong and assume that I'm helping you to save some money, I just have a sudden craving for it. I used to have it quite often back in college. Just now, I suddenly recalled that the Mala Hotpot restaurant outside my school is quite good, I really do want to go and have some."

Zhou Zhengqi had already said so, Su Yaya didn't insist any longer, she accepted his remarks, smiled and said: "Okay, we'll head to the school gate to have Mala Hotpot."

"OK!" Zhou Zhengqi smiled and signalled an OK gesture at her.

Su Yaya smiled at him.

Faced with her smiling face, Zhou Zhengqi suddenly thought of something, and then asked: "Have we met in college before?"

Zhou Zhengqi had gone through Su Yaya's resume and knew that they were both students who graduated from the same university, but Su Yaya was two years younger than him. When she was a freshman, he was a senior. Although he was already pretty busy at that time, he often went back to school, and wondered if they had met in school or not?

When Su Yaya heard Zhou Zhengqi's question, she recalled the memory of the original owner of her body. Zhou Zhengqi was her crush, so every detail related to him, the original owner remembered it all by heart.

"You were the most popular person in school back then. When I was a freshman, you came back to school once to participate in an interscholastic basketball game. At that time, I lived in the same dormitory with the cheerleader of the school's basketball team, so all the girls in my dorm actually followed the cheerleader to see you guys backstage."

"Is that so!" Zhou Zhengqi recalled that basketball game. In his memory, there seemed to be a group of girls who came to see them backstage, but he was focused on the game at the time, and they didn't leave any memorable impression on him. Unexpectedly, Su Yaya and him actually met back then.

Zhou Zhengqi smiled and said, "It would be great if we got to know each other back then."

Su Yaya recalled the original owner's personality back then, which was cowardly and shy. Even if she stood in front of Zhou Zhengqi, she would not be able to leave an impression

"Actually, it's nice that we got to know each other now." Su Yaya replied.

"Yes." Zhou Zhengqi followed along: "It is."
