Brother's About to Fall in Love? Maybe I'm Just Overthinking It

"How have you been lately?"

It was rare for Lin Shuguang to ask that, so Pei Xi couldn't help smiling. "Not bad. What about you? Found yourself a girlfriend yet?"

Lin Shuguang shook his head.

Pei Xi said gossipily, "No way. Don't tell me you like men?"

Anyone who saw him would think a madman had barged into the bookstore.

The two security guards on the first floor rushed over with batons in hand. "Sir, please be careful. Don't damage the books."

The two guards surrounded him
