"I have a meeting, so I need to go to the office in a bit." Qin Sili looked at Lu Chiyan. "Why?"
[Seriously? What a workaholic. He doesn't even take weekends off? I was hoping we could go out today and really work on getting closer! But he has a meeting! Am I supposed to tag along to the office to bond with him? Qin Sili, oh, Qin Sili, no wonder you're single. Your schedule is so packed with work that you don't even have time to date. You're definitely going to end up forever alone!]
Qin Sili hadn't seen Lu Chiyan speak, yet he heard his thoughts again. The corners of his mouth twitched twice.
Was he single because he had no time to date?
Wasn't he single because the person he liked didn't like him back?
"I just remembered-I got it wrong." Qin Sili suddenly changed his tune. "There's no meeting. I'm off today. Did you need something?"
"Really?" Lu Chiyan's eyes lit up instantly. "I'm off today too. Let's go out!"
"Sure." Qin Sili agreed with a faint smile, his gaze softening considerably as he looked at Lu Chiyan. "Where would you like to go?"
"Let's go to the hot springs!" Lu Chiyan said. "I keep getting ads for the Capital Gate Palace Hot Springs lately. It seems to be a newly opened hot spring resort, and it looks pretty good."
Qin Sili replied casually, "It is pretty good. I opened it."
Lu Chiyan's mouth fell open in surprise.
Right, his "real brother" was the richest tycoon around!
He had some serious money to throw around!
"Since you opened it, does that mean I can use the hot springs for free?" The little stars in Lu Chiyan's eyes shone even brighter.
"Yes," Qin Sili said. "I'll take you there today."
[Oh my god, is this what having a rich older brother feels like? Hugging a golden thigh feels so good! Lu Chiyan, your good days are still ahead of you!]
Lu Chiyan's spirits were already soaring. His smile was radiant, and even eating a sandwich made him so happy he wanted to hum a song.
Seeing Lu Chiyan so happy put Qin Sili in an excellent mood too.
Yes, it seemed the future had suddenly become truly full of hope.
After breakfast, Qin Sili went upstairs to message Fang Zhi and cancel today's meeting, while Lu Chiyan returned to his room to pack for their trip to Capital Gate Palace.
He had just finished packing when his phone rang. It was Xie Yi'an.
Xie Yi'an was a close buddy of Duan Linfeng's, and could also be considered one of the witnesses to Lu Chiyan's former days as a simp.
He had blocked Duan Linfeng before, but had forgotten to block this close buddy of his.
Lu Chiyan had originally planned to reject the call outright, but after thinking it over, he decided that Xie Yi'an hadn't offended him, after all, and answered in the end.
"Lu Chiyan, what exactly did you do to Linfeng to make him suffer like this?" The moment the call connected, Lu Chiyan heard Xie Yi'an say, "He's drunk and keeps calling your name. I'll send you the address. Hurry over and pick him up! Whatever happened between you two, couldn't you talk it out? Did you have to let things get to this point?"
Lu Chiyan: "???"
He really had been asking for it, answering this call!
His poor ears had been subjected to this again today!
"What does him getting drunk have to do with me?" Lu Chiyan said, speechless. "We've already broken up. Why should I pick him up? Besides, what's he doing drinking this early in the morning? If he's sick, take him to a doctor. It's not like I can cure brain damage!"
With that, Lu Chiyan hung up, then treated Xie Yi'an to the blocking package too!
Sure enough, a nutjob's buddy was a nutjob too!
