Over the next week, although Xie Zhuzhou often remained expressionless as usual, the other brothers still noticed.
Home gym
"Is something on your mind?" Ji Wangchen asked as he ran on the treadmill next to him, pressing the speed up button.
Xie Zhuzhou felt ashamed about this and couldn't talk about it, so he could only shake his head and continue to practice hard. Don't ask him why he was working so hard!
What makes a salted fish exercise? It's that damn competitive spirit!
Ji Wangyan, with her hair tied in a low ponytail and wearing a loose white tracksuit, stood on the other side of Xie Zhuzhou's treadmill and teased, "Youngest brother, you wouldn't have... discovered your shortcomings, would you?"
Xie Zhuzhou suddenly felt that he had too many older brothers! They were getting in his way!
Why did his father give him so many older brothers?! It's so annoying!
Is it not enough? Or is it not enough?
Xie Zhuzhou: "I'm very strong. Third Brother, you should worry about yourself. Don't let your talents go to waste."
Looking at his younger brother's physique, and then thinking about Chu Yanzhang's, Ji Wangyan couldn't help but chuckle softly. He seemed to finally know how to anger his brother?
"Okay, I understand, I understand. I'll help you when we get back." Ji Wangyan, with an expression that said "Your brother is very reliable," turned and left the gym.
Ji Wangchen couldn't understand the coded language his younger brothers were using.
Actually, he doesn't want to go to work tomorrow either. If only his younger brothers were more reliable, they could take this position from him. They're such a bunch of useless brothers, all they do is play all day!
night.
Xie Zhuzhou received a gift box from Ji Wangyan. When he opened it, he found it full of colorful things, and a card that read, "Little brother, I wish you and your sister-in-law, oh no, brother-in-law, have fun."
Xie Zhuzhou remained expressionless, but his ears instantly turned bright red.
He growled in a low voice, "Ji, Wang, Yan! Are you a pervert?!"
Xie Zhuzhou had just received the gift box, hadn't had time to deal with it when there was a knock on the door.
Chu Yanzhang called out from outside the door, sounding aggrieved, " Zhouzhou, what did I do wrong? You've been avoiding me these past few days, not replying to my messages. Are you tired of me? If so, you can just say so."
Xie Zhuzhou frowned slightly, haphazardly stuffing things into the bedside table. Finding it wouldn't fit, he went to the sofa area, touched a button, and the drawer of the low coffee table slowly opened automatically, finally managing to stuff everything in.
After tidying up, Xie Zhuzhou slowly stood up. He felt he had never been so busy before!
Chu Yanzhang's voice came through the loudspeaker at the door and into the room.
"Maybe I was too clingy, Zhouzhou, I'm sorry." Chu Yanzhang's voice was filled with loneliness, grievance, sadness, and helplessness.
This made Xie Zhuzhou's cold and hard heart finally soften.
He looked up at the ceiling, feeling helpless. Who could understand how it felt to have a fiancée who wasn't what he expected?
Moreover, he cannot abandon those who are good to him after starting something. Although he is usually immoral, he never betrays those who are good to him.
Half a minute later, Xie Zhuzhou opened the door, looking at Chu Yanzhang's reddened eyes, his conscience aching slightly. "Come in."
" Zhouzhou..." Chu Yanzhang wanted to hug Xie Zhuzhou as soon as he saw him, but he was worried that Xie Zhuzhou would find him annoying, so he didn't dare to go forward.
He followed Xie Zhuzhou into the room and sat down on the sofa.
Xie Zhuzhou sat on the sofa, poured him a glass of water, and pushed it towards him.
Chu Yanzhang's eyelashes were long and thick, and when he lowered his eyes, he looked as if he had suffered a great injustice.
Xie Zhuzhou: "..." My goodness, I'm even more aggrieved, okay?
He looked at Chu Yanzhang, took a deep breath, and tried to make his tone sound calmer, " Little Yan, I'm not tired of you, it's just... there are some things I want to sort out myself first."
Chu Yanzhang lowered his head slightly, his voice tinged with caution. " Zhouzhou, if there's anything I did wrong, tell me, and I can change."
Xie Zhuzhou felt a wave of helplessness. He rubbed his temples and explained, "It's not your fault, it's me... I've been thinking about some things lately and haven't been feeling well, so I thought I'd see you when my mind was clearer. I didn't want you to see me in a bad state, I'm really sorry."
"I see. I thought... you didn't like me anymore."
Chu Yanzhang knew perfectly well that Zhouzhou wasn't a fickle person, but he was still afraid.
I'm afraid that when I wake up, everything will be gone.
Seeing Chu Yanzhang's cautious demeanor, Xie Zhuzhou felt a pang of sadness. He gently patted Chu Yanzhang's shoulder, his tone softening considerably. " Little Yan, how could I not like you? You are a very important person to me. It's just that some things have happened recently, leaving me somewhat confused."
Chu Yanzhang looked up, a hint of doubt in his eyes. " Zhouzhou, what's troubling you so much? If possible, I'd like to help you with that."
Xie Zhuzhou remained silent for a while, looking into Chu Yanzhang's captivating eyes, and his damned heart started racing again!
Even heroes have found it hard to resist the charms of beautiful women.
The ancients were right!
No, I'm from ancient times too.
Damn it, he's so greedy! He doesn't want to be down there, but he also doesn't want to lose his Little Yan.
But actually, the scariest part isn't what's below, but rather Chu Yanzhang's... you know.
Xie Zhuzhou thought that doing that kind of thing could kill someone, right?!
Xie Zhuzhou watched as Chu Yanzhang finished his glass of water and sat obediently on the sofa, like a bullied little wife.
Chu Yanzhang's eyes were exceptionally clear and bright; in comparison, it was as if he wasn't the one who had red eyes and was panting that night.
Xie Zhuzhou: "..." How can a person be so polarized? If everything Chu Little Yan did for him was just an act, then he's a genius at acting!
On the other side, Chu Yanzhang appeared calm, but in reality, he was anxious and uneasy. Seeing Xie Zhuzhou lose focus in front of him again, he felt like he was going crazy.
He wanted to get close to Xie Zhuzhou, to bring the other man back to his senses, and to make him think only of himself.
However, just as he suddenly stood up and raised his foot to take a step, he accidentally kicked the drawer of the low coffee table.
As Xie Zhuzhou watched the drawer slowly open, his heart sank.
I'm tired. Destroy the world, please.
