Xie Zhuzhou and Li Yankai agreed to have lunch together at a restaurant on a Friday afternoon when they didn't have classes, and that they could bring their spouses.
Xie Zhuzhou brought Chu Yanzhang along. Chu Yanzhang sat obediently in the back seat, wearing an elegant and sexy V-neck court white shirt, which was retro and charming. He wore belted trousers and leather shoes. He looked fair-skinned and well-behaved, with chestnut-colored hair that was slightly curled.
Xie Zhuzhou felt his heart couldn't take it anymore; he was certain that Chu Yanzhang was seducing him!
As his heart raced, he suddenly recalled the scene from that night, and the feeling of excitement instantly turned into heartache.
On their way to the agreed-upon restaurant, only Xie Zhuzhou sensed the increasingly awkward atmosphere.
Looking back on all the embarrassing incidents I've experienced, what happened that night was the absolute worst.
If he could go back in time, he would never have accepted the box offered by the maid. Why did he have to be so curious to take a look?
Curiosity killed the cat!
" Zhouzhou, are you alright?" Chu Yanzhang, his ears turning red as he spoke, seemingly lost in thought.
Xie Zhuzhou: "..." Enough! I said enough! Chu Little Yan, shut your head!
However, because the driver, Brother Wen, was there, Xie Zhuzhou couldn't explain what happened that night. So he could only wait until after dinner to explain the whole story to Chu Yanzhang and clear his name.
Xie Zhuzhou felt this was even more painful than being falsely accused of stealing cattle.
"It's nothing, I've just been a bit busy lately because final exams are in a month. I didn't mean to ignore you." Xie Zhuzhou tried his best to regain the persona he had painstakingly built.
Nothing is insurmountable, only things that can never be undone.
Upon hearing this, Chu Yanzhang blushed and nodded, then grabbed Xie Zhuzhou's hand and pulled him into his arms.
Xie Zhuzhou was stunned by the sight of the chest muscles hitting his face again. Yes, he had forgotten something very important: how was he going to convince Chu Yanzhang to wear women's clothing?
Those damn sexy pecs are just... making his mind go blank for a bit. Oh well, he'll just rub against them for now and think about it later.
Chu Yanzhang felt Xie Zhuzhou's affectionate nuzzling against him, and his heart was filled with sweetness. At least Zhouzhou wasn't deliberately ignoring him.
Zhouzhou is such an upright person, she would never fall in love with someone else. As long as he protects the people around Zhouzhou, and gives her rivals more things to do, he won't worry so much.
Xie Zhuzhou was unaware that he was being held in the arms of a devilish angel. At that moment, he slowly closed his eyes and took a nap on the way.
When Xie Zhuzhou and Chu Yanzhang entered the restaurant's private room, Li Yankai was chatting animatedly with Ji Wangyun. Ji Wangyun maintained his gentle and refined demeanor, but Xie Zhuzhou sensed a hint of malice in the smile on his lips.
Xie Zhuzhou: "..." Damn, is Second Brother here to cause trouble?
Or is it that Second Brother really has something going on with Li Yankai?
That's impossible! Li Yankai looks very straight. Among all the people he knows, there's no one more straight than Li Yankai!
If the two of them got together, Xie Zhuzhou could hardly imagine how noisy their future would be. However, his second brother has toned it down a lot now, which is a gratifying thing. He hopes his second brother will keep it up and not give up halfway.
He chose between a demure and steady second brother and a chattering second brother who sounded like a wild monkey in the mountains.
"Sorry to keep you waiting," Xie Zhuzhou said to Li Yankai.
Chu Yanzhang, on the other hand, skillfully and naturally pulled out a chair for Xie Zhuzhou.
Xie Zhuzhou, who had sat down with practiced ease, finally noticed this detail. That's right, why was it always his wife who pulled out the chair for him? There was only one possibility: Chu Yanzhang was too ambitious!
Xie Zhuzhou felt a headache coming on. Why had he been so focused on looking cool that he forgot about such everyday details?
If they had discovered it sooner, they could have discussed their positions before the engagement!
Chu Yanzhang sat quietly beside him, glancing at Xie Zhuzhou every now and then.
Xie Zhuzhou: "..." Do you know how strong your sense of humor is? Chu Little Yan, really.
"It's alright, we just arrived recently." Ji Wangyun smiled slightly, answering Xie Zhuzhou's question on behalf of Li Yankai.
His gaze shifted between Xie Zhuzhou and Chu Yanzhang. "However, you two seem... a little tired?"
Xie Zhuzhou felt that his second brother was being too pretentious, and he wasn't used to it. After all, everyone in the family knows what each other is really like in private.
"Yes, there was some traffic on the road."
Li Yankai didn't notice these details and excitedly called the waiter to order, "It's my treat today, everyone, don't be shy! Order whatever you like!" After all, it's his cousin's card that's being used!
Xie Zhuzhou didn't ask Li Yankai if his salary could cover this expense, but based on his understanding of Li Yankai, the other party would definitely not let his spending exceed his means.
During the meal, Li Yankai recounted some funny stories from school. When he mentioned that a senior asked him to help out in the student council, only to unexpectedly catch a senior cheating on his girlfriend, Xie Zhuzhou suddenly interjected, "Oh, I remember that Qingke you mentioned, isn't she pursuing you?"
Li Yankai nodded, his face slightly flushed. "But I didn't accept. I think she's too beautiful, and there are other reasons as well."
Xie Zhuzhou glanced at Ji Wangyun without showing any emotion and noticed that his second brother was quite calm about the matter, which made him doubt his own guess.
However, Ji Wangyun, who appeared calm on the surface, was actually clenching his fists under the table.
His youngest son really deserves a beating, but he can't beat him!
The cheeky Xie Zhuzhou raised an eyebrow at his second brother defiantly, then continued Li Yankai's line of thought, "So what type do you like?"
Chu Yanzhang knew that his Zhouzhou just wanted to be mischievous and wasn't actually concerned about Li Yankai, so he quietly served Xie Zhuzhou some food.
Li Yankai thought about it seriously for a while, then blushed and said, "I like older sisters who are smart, mature, and have a strong desire to control."
Xie Zhuzhou's smile deepened after hearing Li Yankai's reply.
He deliberately dragged out his words, saying, "Oh--, so you like this type."
As he spoke, he glanced at Ji Wangyun out of the corner of his eye. Sure enough, although Ji Wangyun maintained his smile, a barely perceptible hint of coldness flashed in his eyes.
Chu Yanzhang seemed to sense the subtle change in the atmosphere. He calmly poured Xie Zhuzhou a glass of water and said softly, " Zhouzhou, have some water."
Xie Zhuzhou took the water glass, smiled and nodded, but in his heart he was thinking about how to tease his second brother. After all, what goes around comes around.
Li Yankai was unaware that he had become the "trigger" between the two of them. He continued enthusiastically, "Yeah, I think that type of girl is particularly charming. Look, Qingke is like that. She's not only beautiful, but also decisive and has her own ideas... But I feel like I'm not good enough for her. The main reason is that I don't feel any attraction to her."
I know it's hard to find that spark of attraction, and many people get together for a fleeting infatuation, but I still want to find a soulmate with whom I feel that spark.
