Xie Zhuzhou nodded repeatedly, picked up a basket of liquor, looked at several bottles but didn't recognize any of them, only recognizing the alcohol content on them. He took five or six bottles, neither too high nor too low, and then left.
At night, he walked along the winding path that Chu Yanzhang had built, clutching a few bottles of wine and lost in thought, completely forgetting the eerie, chilly surroundings. He was plotting how to extract that "requirement" from Chu Yanzhang.
Finally arriving at Chu Yanzhang's villa, Butler Dais smiled slightly and welcomed him inside.
" Mr. Xie, Mr. Chu just returned and went to his room."
"Then I'll go find him. Don't notify him yet."
Xie Zhuzhou walked along without letting Dais carry any wine, only asking Dais to prepare glasses and some snacks to go with the drinks.
Xie Zhuzhou arrived at Chu Yanzhang's room door with practiced ease and knocked.
Having just finished showering, Chu Yanzhang, wearing a bathrobe, quickly came to open the door.
When Chu Yanzhang saw Xie Zhuzhou, his eyes lit up with surprise. He stepped aside to let Xie Zhuzhou in.
" Zhouzhou, what brings you here?" Chu Yanzhang asked, drying his wet hair, water droplets sliding down his chest muscles.
Upon seeing the faintly visible pectoral muscles, Xie Zhuzhou felt his face flush and didn't know where to look.
He carried several bottles of wine into the room and casually placed them on the coffee table in the sofa area.
Then he turned to look at Chu Yanzhang, raising an eyebrow slightly. "What, you're not welcoming me?"
Seeing Zhouzhou's ears turn bright red, Chu Yanzhang's lips curled up slightly. "How could that be? I just didn't expect you to come so suddenly."
How could he not know? He wears a tracking bracelet all the time, and he even keeps track of Zhouzhou's movements while showering.
Xie Zhuzhou coughed lightly, trying to cover his discomfort. "I was just bored, and since my third brother gave me a few bottles of wine, I brought them over to enjoy with everyone."
Chu Yanzhang never expected that his Zhouzhou would step into his room on her own initiative. The thought that Zhouzhou would soon be covered in the same fragrance as him made his blood boil.
" Zhouzhou, you're so kind, always thinking of me." Chu Yanzhang's hair was half-dry as he pondered countless times whether Zhouzhou was inviting him to spend the night together.
Xie Zhuzhou: "..." He felt a little guilty, but not much.
Afterwards, Dais pushed a cart of snacks and ice to accompany the drinks into the room, placed them on the table, opened the bottles of wine, and then gracefully left.
When Chu Yanzhang dried his hair and came out wearing a sexy nightgown that accentuated his chest muscles, Xie Zhuzhou was already watching videos and eating fruit.
Chu Yanzhang noticed that Zhouzhou wasn't looking at him, so he coughed softly.
Xie Zhuzhou turned around to look at him upon hearing the sound, and the scene before him was somewhat dazzling.
Should he be a little more assertive, a little more ruthless, and just reach out and touch her? What would happen then?
The utopian Xie Zhuzhou gradually felt hot all over and urgently needed something ice-cold to cool down.
He poured the wine and then picked up an ice cube and dropped it into the glass.
" Zhouzhou, that's not how you drink... This isn't a beverage, you can't drink it too fast." Chu Yanzhang walked over quickly.
"It's a little sweet."
Xie Zhuzhou took a sip, felt it wasn't enough, and finished the whole glass, leaving a few crystal-clear ice cubes in the empty glass.
"I have a feeling I already got the drink? Really?"
Chu Yanzhang sat down next to Xie Zhuzhou, looked at the wine on the table, checked them one by one, and found nothing unusual so far.
Is he overthinking it?
Are all wines this sweet now?
Xie Zhuzhou swirled his wine glass, looking at the newly poured pink oral liquid. He asked in bewilderment, "This is nothing special. Why do all of Third Brother's friends leave so drunk after drinking here? Are they all acting? Or are they really that bad at drinking?"
Because the wine in the glass was icy and sweet, and quite delicious—even better than milk tea— Xie Zhuzhou took another sip. " Little Yan, you should try some too."
Xie Zhuzhou hadn't forgotten his purpose for today. He wanted to know what Chu Yanzhang was talking about, and if it was something he couldn't accept, he would secretly back out.
Chu Yanzhang didn't think much of the wine Zhouzhou handed him and slowly drank a little.
They talked about many things during the conversation, including today's exam. Xie Zhuzhou said he performed as usual and should pass.
Chu Yanzhang was relieved upon hearing this. Perhaps because he had drunk a little wine, a slight blush appeared on his fair face. "This wine is indeed a bit sweet..."
But why do I feel hot all over?
Not hearing Xie Zhuzhou's response, Chu Yanzhang turned to look at Xie Zhuzhou, only to find that the other had already picked up the pink wine bottle and was taking a swig.
Xie Zhuzhou tilted his head back, revealing his slender, fair neck, his Adam's apple bobbing rapidly as he drank...
Chu Yanzhang rubbed his eyes to clear his head. His gaze fell on Xie Zhuzhou's profile, and he said softly in a slightly hoarse voice, "Wait, Zhouzhou, you..."
Although this wine is delicious, you can't drink so much at once!
Chu Yanzhang reached out to grab it, but found that Xie Zhuzhou's hand speed was too fast, and he couldn't even snatch it!
He said worriedly, " Zhouzhou, you can't drink anymore."
Xie Zhuzhou's face was already flushed. Looking at Chu Yanzhang's handsome face, he threw away the empty wine bottle, which rolled onto the carpet.
