You Wouldn't Happen to Be Gay, Would You?

After leaving LV, Su Yang took Lu Yun to a spicy Mountain City hotpot restaurant in a nearby commercial district.

Su Yang himself still loved hotpot. It was affordable, filling, and incredibly satisfying.

Although he had money now, he had no interest in eating lavish meals and exotic delicacies every day.

Eating those things once in a while felt fresh and enjoyable, but having them every day was not to his taste, and he did not think it was necessary.

No matter how rich he became, he would still eat what he liked. Going only to high-end restaurants just to show off seemed stupid to him.

It was the dinner rush, and the restaurant was nearly full. Busy servers carried plates back and forth, making the place lively and bustling.

Su Yang and Lu Yun waited in line for twenty minutes before finally entering, taking a seat, and ordering.

The two of them ordered a huge spread, including beef rolls, duck blood, tripe, chicken gizzards, chicken feet, and more.

"Did we order too much?" Lu Yun asked as she looked at the food on the table, then added when she felt something was off, "I'm not saying I'm reluctant to spend money. I'm just worried the two of us won't be able to finish it and it'll go to waste."

Su Yang smiled faintly. "Don't worry. Our main principle is not wasting food. I eat a lot. We'll definitely finish it."

"Then that's fine. As long as we can eat it all, we can order as much as we want."

Soon, the red oil in the pot began to boil, and Su Yang started putting in the ingredients.

"Do you usually come out for Mountain City hotpot?"

"Yeah. I like hotpot too."

"That's good. Otherwise, if you didn't like it and were only putting up with it for my sake, I'd feel bad."

"I like it~" Lu Yun said with a cute smile.

The two of them chatted and ate.

Lu Yun's small face turned bright red from eating. Knowing that she could not handle very spicy food, Su Yang had ordered the mildly spicy broth.

But when he saw Lu Yun sticking out her tongue and hissing from the heat, Su Yang laughed. "Is it really that spicy? This is only mildly spicy."

"I don't know why I can't handle spicy food today. I can usually eat it just fine."

"Probably because you haven't had it in a long time. I'll get you something to drink."

As he spoke, Su Yang rose and walked toward the drink refrigerator by the entrance.

After he had taken only a few steps, someone he never expected to see walked toward the restaurant from the opposite direction.

The two of them met eyes. Su Yang pretended not to see her and continued toward the refrigerator to get a drink.

But the person entering lit up when she saw him. She called out with a smile, "Su Yang? Is that you?"

Su Yang rolled his eyes. Damn it, I already pretended not to see you. Can't you just leave? Why did you have to come over and say hello?

It was Lin Xiaomo, Su Yang's ex-girlfriend from university—the woman who had looked down on him for being inadequate. She was also the only woman he had officially dated so far.

A tall, broad-shouldered man accompanied Lin Xiaomo. He looked about 185 centimeters tall, slightly taller than Su Yang.

He was very sturdy and seemed to be around twenty-five. His hair was slicked back, his face was square, and he had a bit of stubble. He seemed to be wearing makeup as well, giving him a fair, clean-cut appearance.

He wore a black T-shirt with rolled-up sleeves, knee-length casual shorts, and white canvas shoes.

He looked refined, but also somewhat effeminate.

Lin Xiaomo was dressed rather sexily. She wore a gray, tight-fitting, lightweight long dress that accentuated her figure. She carried a white handbag and wore a pair of small white slippers.

She was quite beautiful, with long hair, an oval face, and large eyes. Her lips were painted with a sexy shade of lipstick, and her chest was tightly outlined by her dress.

Su Yang turned his back and picked up a drink, but Lin Xiaomo walked over with a smile and patted him on the back.

"Why are you still pretending not to know me? I'd recognize you even if you were reduced to ashes."

Su Yang helplessly turned around. "What do you want? Is there something you need?"

"Can't I say hello if I don't need anything? We did have a relationship, after all." Lin Xiaomo raised her eyebrows at Su Yang with a smile, completely unconcerned.

Looking at Su Yang, who seemed to have become a completely different person from when they were in university, she kept sizing him up from head to toe.

"When did you get into such good shape? You even got more handsome! You didn't go and get plastic surgery, did you?"

"None of your business."

"Who's this?" The man behind Lin Xiaomo stepped forward and asked.

"Oh, my ex-boyfriend." Lin Xiaomo did not bother to hide it and answered directly.

"Ex-boyfriend? You mean that guy who was no good?" The man folded his arms and sneered with a half-smile.

"Yeah, him. But he actually got handsome after a few years apart."

"What's the use of being handsome? If you're no good, you're no good. That can't be changed. It's innate, unless you get surgery."

Su Yang glanced at the man, then looked at Lin Xiaomo. "Is he your new boyfriend?"

"We're still in the evaluation stage. Not yet."

The man showed no reaction to this. Su Yang smiled. "You wouldn't happen to be gay, would you?"

"What? Gay, my ass! You're the gay one!"

"You look a little effeminate to me. Since you're saying I'm no good, I bet you probably last only three seconds yourself."

"Hahaha." Lin Xiaomo burst out laughing when she heard that.

"What the hell are you laughing at? What, did I guess right? You've already tested him, haven't you?"

"Not yet. If he really only lasted three seconds, I might as well get back together with you."

"Keep dreaming. All right, I don't have time to stand here chatting with you two. Goodbye!"

As he spoke, Su Yang picked up the drink and turned to leave.

"Wait!" Lin Xiaomo called from behind him.

"What?"

"Add me on WeChat. You deleted me back then, so we don't have each other's contact information anymore."

"Forget it. I'm no longer interested in you. Bye." Su Yang stopped paying attention to Lin Xiaomo and walked away.

"Showing off," the man beside her muttered unhappily.

"Do you really only last three seconds?"

"How could I? He was just making things up, and you believed him?"

"I'm kidding. Come on, I'm hungry." Lin Xiaomo covered her mouth and giggled.

Lin Xiaomo and the man followed a server into the restaurant. Coincidentally, their seats were right next to Su Yang and Lu Yun's.

When Su Yang saw Lin Xiaomo and the effeminate man sit down beside him, he felt utterly speechless.

For fuck's sake, why did they have to sit here too?

After walking over, Lin Xiaomo looked at Su Yang and Lu Yun across from him. Oh, so he was eating with a pretty girl all along.

"Hello. Didn't expect this, did you? What a coincidence." Lin Xiaomo smiled at Su Yang.

Su Yang rolled his eyes. Lu Yun looked at him and asked somewhat blankly, "Su Yang, who's this?"

"Oh, well, my ex-girlfriend..."

Lu Yun smiled awkwardly when she heard that. "Oh, oh."

"Is she your girlfriend?" Lin Xiaomo asked after ordering, leaning forward to look.

"No, she's a classmate."

"A classmate? She's quite pretty. What a shame."

"What's a shame?" Su Yang asked unhappily.

"A shame that she met you and you're wasting her lower half."

"Fuck, can you shut up?" Su Yang angrily cut off Lin Xiaomo's grinning face.

He really wanted to show Lin Xiaomo just how capable he was now, but he could not say it with Lu Yun sitting across from him.

Besides, he was not particularly interested in Lin Xiaomo anymore, even though she had been very skilled in bed.

Many of his thoughts had changed dramatically by now, and he was no longer so eager to compete with others.

But if Lin Xiaomo continued targeting him over this topic and refused to let up, he would not mind making sure she could not get out of bed.
