"Gentlemen, may we serve the food now?" A male waiter pushed the dishes forward, while a female waitress asked the two men with a standard smile and clear pronunciation.
Yan Guiyun gave a signal, and the two quickly served the dishes. Only after the dishes were served did Chi Yining had been sitting up straight, relax slightly.
Looking at the table full of Western dishes, Chi Yining seemed less hungry. " Brother Yan, you've ordered too much."
Yan Guiyun: "I didn't tell you to finish it. Just eat until you're about half full. Your ice cream is still waiting."
Chi Yining: "Yeah, that's true."
After dinner, Yan Guiyun led his entourage to the rooftop garden.
Chi Yining felt the cool night breeze of the high-rise building, took Yan Guiyun's hand, and sat down on the icy blue, water-like sofa upstairs. His bottom felt cool to the touch. " Brother Yan? Aren't you bored spending all day with me?"
Although Chi Yining is socially awkward, he knows that people who are not socially awkward lead more colorful lives; they might go to parties, picnics, camping, and so on on weekends.
But does Brother Yan really only have him as a friend? He's not really stupid enough to keep deceiving himself. How could a rich young master not have friends... Right now, he just hopes to have a small place in Brother Yan's heart to hold him.
Yan Guiyun: "It's not boring at all. It's my honor to be able to spend time quietly with you."
Chi Yining: "Honored? Brother Yan, maybe you'll get tired of me after a while... and perhaps you'll find another close friend then."
Chi Yining gazed at the sky, speaking softly, her words drifting like a feather into Yan Guiyun's heart.
Leaning back on the sofa Yan Guiyun felt a tightness in his chest. He then placed Chi Yining's hand on his chest and turned Chi Yining's head to the side. Yan Guiyun looked into his eyes, his gaze filled with deep reproach. " Xiao Yi, do you want to break Brother Yan's heart?"
"No, Brother Yan, I'm just stating the facts... In the eyes of the tycoons, emotions are the most ethereal things, whether it's family affection, friendship, or love..."
Yan Guiyun hadn't expected Chi Yining to be so insightful; his words were honest, yet somewhat hurtful.
But thinking about it carefully, Chi Yining's words don't seem wrong for someone with social anxiety and insecurity.
For people in their circle, not only are emotions elusive, but the future is also elusive. It seems that nothing, besides the law, can truly bind them.
Therefore, in the eyes of capitalists, perhaps the least needed thing is ethereal emotions. Everyone only needs to wear a hypocritical mask to thrive in social circles.
But Yan Guiyun didn't need that mask; he only wanted to hold onto the people beside him tightly.
"What? Don't you believe Brother Yan? Are you asking for a beating?" Yan Guiyun extended his devilish claws towards Chi Yining.
"Hahahahaha... Brother Yan... no... hahaha" Chi Yining's originally aloof face instantly crumbled.
"Haha... Brother Yan, I was wrong, I believe you... Haha, I don't want to laugh anymore, I'm so tired~" Chi Yining really laughed so hard that she collapsed onto Yan Guiyun's lap.
"At such a young age, what are you trying to do, learn from a master of sentimentality? Hmm?" Yan Guiyun's devilish voice rang out above his head.
After sitting up, Chi Yining cradled Yan Guiyun 'Chi Yining head in his hands. His eyes, still moist from his laughter, said, " Brother Yan, you have to keep your word. If our friendship turns sour, I'll just find a rooftop and smash you up."
Yan Guiyun: "..." Gone bad?! It's already gone bad, what should I do? If I kill him, the relationship will become even more exciting.
