Chu Yanzhang stared at him, a hint of inquiry in his eyes. " Zhouzhou, you don't seem very surprised?"
Xie Zhuzhou's heart tightened, but he pretended to be relaxed. "Surprised? Of course I'm surprised. It's just a small world. No wonder he went on the show; it was to see you. I knew he hadn't been in touch since he moved. It couldn't have been to see me."
Upon hearing Xie Zhuzhou's efforts to distance himself from Xue Lang, Chu Yanzhang slightly curled his lips, turned around, and hugged Xie Zhuzhou again for a kiss.
Xie Zhuzhou struggled but couldn't push the person away, thinking to himself, "Is Chu Yanzhang a dog or an octopus?"
Chu Yanzhang told Xie Zhuzhou everything, which made Xie Zhuzhou feel guilty. He really didn't know whether he should tell Chu Yanzhang his secret.
Perhaps it's too early to say?
They've only been dating for two months, so why not wait until they've been dating for twenty years?
Xie Zhuzhou was torn. He knew how much Chu Yanzhang trusted and relied on him, so he wasn't afraid that Chu Yanzhang would distance himself from him because of this. But would speaking out make Chu Yanzhang feel uneasy?
The next day
Xie Zhuzhou was wearing headphones during break time, idly scrolling through videos.
After seeing his phone's screen saver, Li Yankai, who was standing next to him, seemed to have something to say.
But Xie Zhuzhou was too lazy to ask him. The once upright young master had started to slack off in the classroom and was now sitting idly on the table, scrolling through his phone screen.
He felt that constantly putting on airs like a young master was really tiring. There was no chaise lounge for him to relax in the classroom, and he was sitting on a hard bench all day, which was very uncomfortable.
Since everyone here is an old acquaintance and a familiar NPC, I'll just relax a bit.
Meanwhile, the classmates felt they were already quite familiar with Xie Zhuzhou. After being repeatedly humiliated, they became well-behaved and tried their best to be an NPC classmate who wouldn't be noticed by Xie Zhuzhou.
They had indeed said a lot of hurtful things in the past. Last week, they apologized to Xie Zhuzhou, but Xie Zhuzhou didn't care at all whether they had said those things and always seemed indifferent and bored. This hurt their pride. Sometimes, they would rather Xie Zhuzhou be angry with them and express their anger and dislike towards them than Xie Zhuzhou's indifference.
However, the truth is that Xie Zhuzhou only remembers Li Yankai and the class monitor in this class! That's heartbreaking.
Li Yankai glanced around, and only when the surrounding classmates were less dense did he cautiously ask Xie Zhuzhou in his ear, "Have you fallen for someone else? Have you suddenly become straight?"
Xie Zhuzhou exclaimed "Ah!", then put down his phone and paused it. "What suddenly changed?"
Li Yankai's expression was complex and serious, as if recalling Xie Zhuzhou, who had once pursued three people at once. "You wouldn't be someone who doesn't cherish what you've got, would you?"
Xie Zhuzhou's eyes widened; he felt that Li Yankai was utterly insulting his character!
"No, why would you think that?"
"Who's the beautiful woman on your phone's screensaver?"
To clear his name of the rumors, Xie Zhuzhou had no choice but to betray Chu Little Yan. He coughed lightly and said calmly, "What are you thinking? That's my fiancé, Mr. Chu."
Li Yankai: "..."
Seeing Li Yankai's increasingly complicated gaze, Xie Zhuzhou simply stopped paying attention to him and continued scrolling through videos, watching pictures of kittens and puppies. He thought the puppies that didn't lick people were the cutest.
Li Yankai was silent for a moment, then asked with a hint of disbelief, "How did you convince him?"
Xie Zhuzhou chuckled inwardly at Li Yankai's hesitant expression. He deliberately adopted a mysterious air and said casually, "Actually, it's not that difficult. After I demonstrated breaking a boulder on my chest for him, he was so moved that he cried and immediately agreed."
Li Yankai thought to himself: I don't believe you, you old geezer, you're really bad.
It seems Xie Zhuzhou used some methods he was unaware of to coerce and entice Chu Yanzhang.
Li Yankai suddenly realized that his imagination was limited and he couldn't guess anything at all!
Perhaps it's because Chu Yanzhang has a strangely romantic mindset that he dared to try cross-dressing, but he's really never seen many men dare to cross-dress.
It must be said that Xie Zhuzhou is skilled at managing her husband.
Li Yankai gave a thumbs-up with great admiration, "In short, no matter what, it's the people from Wanchai Ferry who know how to have fun."
Upon hearing this, Xie Zhuzhou felt that if there weren't so many people in the class, he could have openly mocked his second brother.
Some people are as anxious as ants on a hot pan, while others are still teetering on the edge of being straight men.
But since he was his own second brother, Xie Zhuzhou didn't kick him while he was down. "On another note, how can you be sure you're straight? And what are you comparing yourself to that makes you think you're not good enough for the girls who are pursuing you?"
Li Yankai never expected that Xie Zhuzhou would suddenly become interested in his affairs!
"I don't know either. When I was little, I really envied my parents. My dad went bankrupt, but my mom still stayed by his side." Li Yankai looked at the time; there was only one minute left before class, and his speech quickened a bit. "I just haven't met a girl I'm attracted to. I think I should like girls."
Xie Zhuzhou: "..." Assessment complete, a pure-hearted boy.
His second brother had never been in a relationship either; in a sense, their romantic experiences were practically nonexistent.
Well, he decided it was best not to say anything more; what if his second brother had his own agenda?
It's best for him not to get involved in other people's affairs.
After school, Xie Zhuzhou would usually take a stroll around the company and saw a familiar face— Wen Ruohuai.
Since Zhang Yin's agency terminated its contract with Wen Ruohuai, Wen Ruohuai has been unable to join any major agencies, and his reputation is even worse than Wen Nan's.
He had people spread negative information about Wen Nan, and netizens later discovered that he had hired online trolls.
Just a couple of days ago, some netizens, having nothing better to do, decided to play Holmes and unexpectedly found some clues that Wen Nan was being unfairly attacked.
As more and more people join the Holmes Exploration Camp, the true and false young master incident involving Wen Nan and Wen Ruohuai finally comes to light, even trending on social media, with the cause and effect being exposed.
Netizens are outraged by the Wen Family's cold-blooded actions, deeming the Wen Nan family an innocent victim.
Furthermore, Wen Nan's biological parents, even knowing that everything stemmed from the Wen Family, still resolutely stood by Wen Ruohuai's side, leaving Wen Nan isolated and helpless at that time.
Wen Nan's ordeal sparked strong indignation among netizens, who took to social media to condemn the Wen Family, accusing them of being cold-blooded and heartless.
Wen Ruohuai himself became the target of public criticism, and was condemned and boycotted by netizens.
Wen Ruohuai did bad things but felt it was all justified. Even though the Wen Family wasn't innocent, he always felt that everyone owed him something.
