chapter 32
"Ah, ha..."
Xu Zaixing curled the corners of his mouth, revealing his canine teeth, and casually pushed up his glasses on the bridge of his nose, remaining calm and composed as usual.
The butler, however, looked slightly flustered and took a half step back, remaining silent and keeping his head down...
The boy hesitated for a moment before speaking, "My prescription is already over 300 degrees, but these glasses are still only 300 degrees. Uncle Chen wants me to get a new pair that fits, but he hasn't had time yet, has he?"
"He meant that if I don't change it, my eyesight will get worse and I'll become more nearsighted..."
Meng Youcheng looked at him, his brow furrowing slightly. "Didn't I just help you get these new glasses last month?"
The boy flashed his canine teeth and looked at him calmly. "When I changed my glasses, I always got the same prescription as before. I never expected my eyesight to worsen so quickly."
The man looked down and thought for a moment, then stepped forward. "You still need to change them. 300-degree glasses—you're already over 300 degrees, they must be very blurry, right?"
The boy smiled at him. "Brother, do you care about me?"
"Of course, you're my brother. If I don't care about you, who will?"
Xu Zaixing didn't answer his question, but smiled and turned away...
Meng Youcheng continued, "Are you very busy? Why haven't you replied to my messages? I thought something had happened to you, so I rushed over here."
The boy, with his back to him, said, "It's normal not to reply to messages. Besides, I don't know how to answer your question. I'm not a relationship counselor, and I'm not very willing to help others with relationship matters..."
"I only decided to intervene in Gu Jingyun's matter because of you. I spent a lot of time and energy on it, and I'm exhausted, so..."
"I'm sorry, I..."
Meng Youcheng stepped forward, looked at his back and said, "I didn't care about your feelings. Actually, what I said was just a joke, not true. Don't be angry."
"I'm not angry, brother..."
Xu Zaixing finally turned his head and looked at him. "I'm just a little tired and don't know what to say..."
The man smiled. "It's good that you're alright."
"you……"
Xu Zaixing looked at him. "You're worried about me, aren't you? You were anxious when you realized I wasn't replying to your messages, weren't you? Afraid... that I'm chatting with someone else and don't want you anymore, right?"
A very strange question...
Why does this feel a bit cheesy?
What does that mean?
What does it mean to be afraid of being abandoned?!
Meng Youcheng was taken aback. "I am indeed worried, but not because I'm afraid you'll chat with other people. In fact, I'm quite happy if you chat with other people; at least you'll make friends..."
"Having friends makes your world a happier place, which is a good thing..."
"That's not what I'm worried about. I'm afraid something will happen to you. I don't know why, but I keep thinking about it..."
"elder brother……!"
The boy stepped forward, stood in front of the man, grasped his hand, and gazed at him with deep affection...
"Do I have a place in your heart now?"
what? !
what does it mean?
Can someone explain this to me?
Does he mean, brother?
Of course, hasn't it always been there?
Why is what he said so strange?
Neither my former college roommate nor I were this cheesy. Could this be a little game that straight men invented himself?
Oh right, he's not straight, so he's more adventurous?
"I guess I don't know either. Aren't we always been brothers...?"
The man raised an eyebrow. "So, in my heart, I've always considered you a brother?!"
The boy curled the corners of his lips into a smile...
His hands rested comfortably on Meng Youcheng's shoulders, and his eyes seemed to sparkle with tiny stars...
What a strange pose!
What exactly does he want to do?
Have you been single for too long? Or maybe you're just looking for someone to seduce?
The man couldn't push him away, so he just made do and looked at him...
How so?
At 24, it was definitely the age of hormonal surge. Back then, I was quite the neurotic type, constantly wanting to hug people. If I couldn't hug a girl, I'd hug my buddies...
Moreover, he was Xu Zaixing's only brother, and now that Xu was in heat, he could only hold him.
"Brother, I have some good news to tell you. Do you want to hear it?"
Suddenly, the boy interrupted his strange train of thought...
The man hesitated for a moment, then nodded. "Did something interesting happen at work?"
Xu Zaixing wrapped his arms around his neck, shook his head, and still smiled. "No, it's about Gu Jingyun and Mr. Mo..."
"What?"
The boy released his grip, turned and took a few steps. "Do you know why Mr. Mo softened his heart?"
This is definitely a question that needs to be addressed!
Mo Chengyu didn't lose his temper today, which is understandable, after all, that "movie star" cried. But why did he invite him to dinner? And why was he so gentle, when yesterday they were like enemies?
The man shook his head. "I don't know..."
The boy turned to look at him. "Because of my lover's tears and being bullied, I've heard Mr. Tang say these past few days that as long as you love that person, and that person cries, or you hear that they've been bullied, even if you hate them..."
"My heart softens, and I can't help but want to wipe away his tears, and I can't help but want to avenge him."
Xu Zaixing sat down in the back chair. "I told Mr. Tang about their situation, hoping he could offer me some advice..."
"After hearing about their relationship, he came to the conclusion that Gu Jingyun loved Mo Chengyu, and by the same token, Mr. Mo loved him too."
"The other good news is that I've investigated their past, and it turns out it was just a misunderstanding, just as I suspected. Gu Jingyun's mother couldn't accept that her son was gay..."
"So they planned and staged this scene, first showing Mo Chengyu a video, which she designed..."
"Then she told Gu Jingyun that Mo Chengyu didn't like him and was going to cheat on him. She even made a video of it. Gu Jingyun wanted to confront her, but his mother forcibly sent him abroad..."
"This is their past."
Meng Youcheng: "Huh?"
Is this really that melodramatic and bizarre?
As expected of a novel world, they can come up with such outrageous ideas.
Moreover, his mother is quite stingy. According to the typical domineering CEO and his pampered wife trope, shouldn't his mother have given him a few million to keep Mr. Mo away from his son?
Is this... the formula for BL novels?
Do you think...they believe that video?
Xu Zaixing calmly looked at Meng Youcheng and asked a strange question...
"If what you say is true..." the man thought for a moment, "it probably is, and if you don't believe me, it's a bit..."
"Sorry, this is the author's way of thinking."
He spoke more quietly during the last part.
In a low voice, let out a powerful protest!
What kind of melodramatic plot is this?!
"I think the opposite..."
Xu Zaixing stood up again, smiling, and said, "They're not stupid, they must have some suspicions, but their phones just happened to break down at the same time. Maybe it's fate that's giving them this opportunity..."
fart!
This must have been the work of that scoundrel of an author!
The boy continued to talk, "They were both shy, and Gu Jingyun was forced to go abroad, so they tacitly broke up, each believing that the other had dumped them..."
"After returning to China, Gu Jingyun didn't pursue the matter further. Although he had doubts about the authenticity of the video, he had still seen it, and given that they hadn't been in contact for many years, even if he loved him deeply, he didn't want to disturb him..."
"Let's talk about Mr. Mo. Gu Jingyun left suddenly without making a video explanation. Even if he didn't believe it, it was useless. He still had love in his heart, but because he was too shy, he didn't dare to ask..."
"The two can only vent their hatred accumulated over the years by bickering with each other."
Xu Zaixing thought for a moment, then continued, "Actually, they both want to get back together, but they've chosen the wrong methods. Mr. Mo is waiting for Gu Jingyun to back down, to give in once, but Gu Jingyun doesn't understand..."
"However, my appearance broke the deadlock."
Meng Youcheng had finally figured out everything...
Why does it seem like this matter is actually quite simple, not that difficult, after hearing what the young man said?
It's as if the two of them were destined to be together, but Meng Youcheng clearly experienced a lot of inhumane treatment!
This must be what they call a top student!
Meng Youcheng: "You mean...?"
The boy smiled. "It's inevitable that the two of them will be together; it's just a matter of time..."
Xu Zaixing glanced at the butler beside him; Uncle Chen had chosen to leave…
The man didn't notice these details, but happily approached the boy, saying, "Thank you so much. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid I would have..."
Xu Zaixing looked at him as well. The boy shook his head. "I don't want to hear thank you. I want a reward..."
"Huh? What do you want then?"
The boy's hands rested naturally on his shoulders...
Xu Zaixing stepped forward and said softly, "Brother, I don't know why, but I feel so uncomfortable. I want it so badly, I really want... it?"
What do you want?
No...that, right?
Yes, he must have been without a woman for too long, no, a man, so he's lonely and wants to find someone to seduce.
Holy crap...!
This won't do!
The man swallowed hard. "No, no... it's probably because it's springtime now, so you're feeling a bit thirsty. But you can't do anything reckless. You have to take care of yourself and not go looking for random people..."
"Otherwise you'll get sick..."
The boy was stunned for a moment. "Brother, are you thinking something else?"
Meng Youcheng: "Huh?"
