Zhang Yan's eyes widened in disbelief.
What is this man talking about? !Wasn't Xu Xizhou abandoned?Where did this uncle come from?
"Don't hide it, he obviously doesn't even have parents! How could there be an extra uncle all of a sudden!"
After Ren Junyun said that, he regretted a little. He originally wanted to approach Xu Xizhou slowly, and after he put down his guard and began to trust himself, he would tell him his life experience in full.No one expected that such a playboy would come out halfway and disrupt all his plans.
He raised his eyes to look at Xu Xizhou who was opposite. The boy was clearly frightened, and looked at him with blank and shocked eyes.
Ren Junyun sighed lightly, clapped his hands, and the assistants and bodyguards who had been hiding in the dark came up one after another and pushed Zhang Yan aside.
"I'm sorry, Xiaozhou. I thought about telling you after a while. I may need to introduce myself again. I'm from City B, and I'm the CEO of Ren's company. My name is Ren Junyun."
"Actually, I am your uncle, and Ren's chairman is your grandfather."
The Ren family in City B, isn't that the richest man in the area?How can it be!
Zhang Yan stared at the man's face with his eyes wide open.
"So Xu Xizhou is the grandson of the richest man? Are you kidding me!"
Hearing Ren Junyun's words, Xu Xizhou's mind went blank for a few seconds. Of course he has heard of the Ren family in City B, it is a top existence on the wealth list.But he never thought that one day he would have something to do with the Ren family.Wasn't he an outcast?Why did he suddenly become the grandson of the richest man? Who is playing tricks on him?
He looked around, subconsciously looking for cameras in the hall.He even started to think, this can't be some kind of prank show, can it?Could he be the passerby who was tricked?
"Sorry, I don't know you well, and I won't believe what you say." Xu Xizhou turned pale, put down his fork, turned around and left.
"Xiao Zhou, I really didn't lie to you. I can send the appraisal report..."
Ren Junyun wanted to catch up, but Xu Xizhou walked quickly, and within a few steps he had already reached the elevator entrance.The noise on their side caught the lobby manager's attention, and the eyes of the other tables were cast over.
"Mr. Ren, are we going to catch up?" the assistant asked in a low voice.
Ren Junyun sighed lightly, "Forget it, let him digest it first, we can't push it too fast."
He sat back on the chair, only to find a dark-haired young man in the corner on the other side staring at him in astonishment.He recalled the information given to him by the private detective and narrowed his eyes slightly.
Coincidentally, it turns out that the real young master of the Lu family is also here.
Ren Junyun curled his lips and walked towards the table in the corner. Zhang Yan watched him walk towards Lu Rong with a bad expression, and immediately his hair exploded, and he broke free from the restraints of the bodyguards.
"Ren, what do you want to do?"
"You are Lu Rong?"
The man was tall and tall, and his tone of voice carried the usual majesty of a superior.Lu Rong met his gaze, and unconsciously dodged his gaze.
"Today's matter, you—" He suddenly turned his head, looking at Zhang Yan with sharp eyes, "and you. It's best to pretend that you didn't see anything, otherwise, there will be no good end for those who oppose the Ren family. "
Xiaoxi's life experience must be kept secret now, otherwise if it is revealed, the media and paparazzi will swarm up like vultures smelling carrion, which will definitely cause great trouble to Xiaoxi's life.
"Did you hear that?" Ren Junyun emphasized his tone, and his sharp eyes glanced at Zhang Yan.
Looking at the four tall and burly bodyguards in black behind him, Zhang Yan nodded tremblingly.
Xu Xizhou took a taxi and went straight back to the hotel.
The flower basket in the lounge was delivered to the hotel by the staff. As soon as he entered, he saw the flowers on the ground, and an indescribable aggrieved and angry suddenly swept over him.
Why!They were the ones who said they would abandon it, and they were the ones who fell from the sky 18 years later and shouted that they were related by blood?Is his life a bloody drama? He's had enough of it!
He packed his suitcase and returned to London that night.That small apartment with red brick walls was the only place he felt familiar and warm.
Turn off the phone and draw all the curtains.He fell into a dark sleep.However, in the dream, he was not stable, blurred faces emerged from the depths of the darkness, and his voice was shrill, calling his name continuously.
Jingling, the doorbell suddenly rang outside.
He blocked his ears with pillows, and nestled deeper into the quilt, not wanting to pay attention to it at all, but the doorbell continued to ring unremittingly, as if trying to compete with him.
Xu Xizhou finally couldn't take it anymore, cursed a curse word, got out of bed and went to the living room without wearing shoes.
When he opened the door, he was slightly taken aback.
Zhuang Jingchun put on a light green windbreaker, carrying two paper bags, and stood in front of him with some worry in her eyes.
When Xu Xizhou saw him, the grievance and anger in his chest disappeared instantly, but a deep sense of powerlessness welled up in his heart.
"Didn't you have a spare key? Why did you ring the doorbell?"
"I know you want to be alone. If I go in, you'll probably throw me out."
Zhuang Jingchun raised the paper bag in her hand, "Freshly baked croissants and hot cocoa, do you want to drink?"
Xu Xizhou scratched his messy hair and shook his head.
He walked back to the living room, sat down on the wool carpet beside the coffee table, and hugged his knees.
He was lifeless, like a plant lacking sunlight and water.
"Have you... heard all about it?" Xu Xizhou asked.
Zhuang Jingchun put the paper bag on the coffee table, thought for a few seconds, and said, "Last night I received a photo from an unknown number. The man sitting opposite you was just seen on a business forum, so I checked Got some information..."
Xu Xizhou twitched the corners of his mouth, "You don't think I'm blind to money, and I throw myself into my arms when I see a rich man, do you?"
"Of course not, why do you say that about yourself?"
Zhuang Jingchun frowned, walked up to him, squatted down, and looked into Xu Xizhou's eyes.
"Remember when you took your driver's license test and helped the police catch a wanted criminal?"
When Xu Xizhou heard his words, his blank eyes gradually became more focused.
"That is a vicious criminal. 18 years ago, he kidnapped your mother and took you away as a baby. He and his accomplices wanted to ask your grandpa for a sky-high ransom, but when things were revealed, they were afraid of being caught by the police. After finding out, I abandoned you in the wilderness."
Xu Xizhou stared blankly at him, and after a while, his eyes rolled around.
"Why do you know so much?"
Zhuang Jingchun glanced out the window with a complicated expression.
"Your real mother, she's here too, just under the apartment. That's what she told me."
His biological mother?
Xu Xizhou frowned, subconsciously glanced out the window.If what the man said yesterday is correct, he actually has parents, but his father died in a car accident, so only his mother remains in this world...
What would his biological mother be like?
Before he even realized it, a gentle and fuzzy shadow had appeared in his mind.
Then soon enough, he forced himself to be sane again.
It's just because of blood.His biological mother is now just a stranger to him.
"Are you going to meet him?"
Zhuang Jingchun held his shoulders and stared at him gently.
Xu Xizhou opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but didn't say a word.He rubbed his hair irritably, "I don't want to see you, let her go."
He went back to the bedroom and got into his bed.The weather in London is always changeable. I don't know when it started to rain lightly outside, and the sky was gloomy and gloomy.
Xu Xizhou didn't fall asleep at all, just listening to the sound of raindrops hitting the window.He stared blankly at the water flowing through the transparent glass, and suddenly caught a glimpse of a slender figure sitting beside his bed from the corner of his eye.
"You still have a game next week, no matter what, you can't be hungry, eat something first."
"I have no appetite, you can eat by yourself."
Xu Xizhou pulled up the quilt and directly covered his entire face.
Listening to his muffled voice, Zhuang Jingchun didn't know what it was like.Thinking of what the woman just said to him downstairs in the apartment, his complexion became even more complicated.
"She asked me to bring you something." Zhuang Jingchun took out a black box from her coat pocket and put it on the bedside table.
"I won't advise you to go down to see her. No matter what you decide, I will support you."
Hearing Zhuang Jingchun walking away, Xu Xizhou lay down for a while, and finally couldn't help being curious, and sat up from the bed.
On the bedside table was the black box that Ren Junyun planned to give him yesterday. At that time, he was too excited and left without taking the box.
He hesitated for a while, before reaching out to open the box.When he saw what was inside, he was stunned for a moment. It was a golden longevity lock with the word "Hi" engraved on it.
In an instant, it seemed that some long-standing memory came flooding back.His small body was lying in the cradle, and beside his ears was the gentle singing of a woman, the golden longevity lock was hanging on the edge of his cradle, and the bell swayed and swayed, making a crisp sound.
Xu Xizhou clutched the longevity lock, his eyes gradually turned red.
He straightened his upper body and glanced out the window.On a bench under the shade of a tree, a woman wearing a wide-brimmed top hat was sitting there quietly.
Suddenly there was the sound of rummaging through boxes in the bedroom.
Zhuang Jingchun was a little worried, and was about to step forward to ask, when the door was opened from the inside, Xu Xizhou changed into a casual hoodie, and stood in front of him somewhat at a loss.
Facing Shangzhuang Jingchun's scrutinizing gaze, Xu Xizhou suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.
"I... I'll return the longevity lock to her, don't think too much about it."
He stammered, slurring his words.
Zhuang Jingchun smiled lightly, and straightened his crooked hat for him.
"Okay, remember to bring an umbrella."
The moment Xu Xizhou stepped out of the elevator, he hesitated for a moment.
He glanced at the Longevity Lock in his hand, heartbroken, and strode out.
Under the shade of the tree, the woman in the gray coat still maintained the previous posture, sitting there upright and elegant.
As if feeling a staring gaze, the woman raised her head, and the eyes under the brim of the hat suddenly burst into light.
"Xiaoxi..." Shu Yue's beautiful eyebrows suddenly brightened, and she walked towards him overjoyed.
"You finally came to see me."
Xu Xizhou looked at him, the woman was younger than he imagined, probably from a famous family, with a noble and elegant temperament on her body.
"I'm sorry, yesterday your uncle accidentally slipped his mouth. We didn't intend to tell you so soon, but we were afraid that you wouldn't be able to accept it."
"Is that flower basket from you?" Xu Xizhou asked.
The woman nodded and looked at him with a slight smile.
"That's a flower basket I made with my own hands. I also wrote the letterhead. The time is short, the colors may not match well, and I don't know what boys your age like. I will prepare some other gifts for you next time." .”
"You don't need to give me a gift." Xu Xizhou struggled a little. Looking at the woman's face, he realized that he really couldn't say anything harsh.
"I want to fly around for the game, and I can't take gifts away. Besides, my apartment is very small and I can't fit too many things."
He paused, then spread his palms again, "You don't need to give me this longevity lock, it's too expensive. Take it back."
Shu Yue looked at him, her eyes were slightly red.
"But this longevity lock was given to you by your biological father, and it has been with you since you were born. It was originally yours."
"Xiao Zhou, I know, you still think it's all unreal. Can you listen to me tell a story?"
Thin and dense raindrops fell from the gaps in the leaves and dripped on the woman's hair.Xu Xizhou pursed his lips and opened the umbrella in his hand, "Sit somewhere else."
in the cafe.
A woman's voice spoke.
"Your father and I met at an art exhibition. At that time, I was just a student of the Academy of Fine Arts, and your father was an amateur racing driver. We fell in love at first sight and got married not long after."
"We had you within two years of our marriage. In those few years, your grandfather's company developed rapidly, and the stock price soared after listing. It must have been too eye-catching and was targeted by the local bandit leader. You were born not long ago , those bandits took advantage of your father’s absence, tied our mother and son to the mountain, and demanded a huge ransom from your grandfather.”
"... Your grandfather pretended to cooperate and called the police in private. I was not long after giving birth, and I was weak. I passed out when I saw you being snatched by the gangsters. The police told me what happened next. They caught one of them. Bandit, the bandit said they threw you into the river..."
Recalling this, the woman seemed to be unable to speak, her voice choked up.
"The police searched the whole mountain and only found your hat by the river. We all thought you were..."
Xu Xizhou looked at her tear-filled eyes, pursed his lips, and gave her a tissue.
Shu Yue took the tissue and wiped the corners of her eyes.
"It wasn't until another gangster was arrested a few months ago that we learned that you were not thrown into the river, but were picked up and adopted by nearby villagers. Later, the police officer investigating the case saw the murderer in Wancheng. News, follow the clues, and I found you."
After understanding the cause and effect, Xu Xizhou suddenly felt relieved.It turned out that he was not abandoned, but a mistake of fate that caused him to be separated from his biological parents for so many years.
"Xiaozhou, I'm sorry, my mother hasn't looked for you for so many years, can you forgive my mother?"
Xu Xizhou stroked the coffee cup in his hand, his thick eyelashes drooping.
"It wasn't your fault in the first place, why should I blame you?"
"It's fine if you don't blame me. I know that you can't accept so many changes for a while. I won't force you to recognize us right away. As long as you don't reject me, let me watch you from a distance and care about you. That's enough. Can you?"
Seeing the woman's teary eyes, Xu Xizhou couldn't bear it.
He hummed lightly.
The woman burst into tears immediately.
Xu Xizhou left the umbrella to Shu Yue, and walked slowly back to the apartment by himself.
He opened the door and found Zhuang Jingchun asleep on the sofa.The man's face was slightly tired, and there was a circle of black and blue under his eyes. He probably rushed over early in the morning and didn't sleep well.
He took off his shoes lightly, went to the bedroom and took out a thin blanket. Just as he was about to cover Zhuang Jingchun, the man opened his eyes.
"Are you finished talking?"
Zhuang Jingchun looked concerned.
"Well, she said she won't bother me for the time being, and will give me time to digest slowly."
"I just received a courier for you, and it was sent from China."
Xu Xizhou had noticed the package under the coffee table a long time ago, picked it up with some doubts, and when he opened it to see what was inside, he suddenly couldn't laugh or cry.
It is the original paternity test.The sender is Ren Junyun.
"Do you still feel that all this is unreal?" Zhuang Jingchun looked at him with a smile.
Xu Xizhou opened the certificate of appraisal, glanced at it, and shrugged.
"So-so. I'm hungry. Where did you put the bread you just brought?"
"What bread do you still eat? It's almost noon, go out and eat."
In the afternoon, Xu Xizhou went to school for class, and Zhuang Jingchun slept in the apartment.When he woke up, it was already dark, the rain outside had stopped, and the road was washed by the rain, and it was exceptionally clean.
He took out his mobile phone and was about to call Xu Xizhou when the lock was unlocked outside.
Xu Xizhou was carrying a large bag of things in his hand, and as he walked around, the things in the bag collided and made crisp sounds.
Zhuang Jingchun rubbed the bridge of her nose and put on her glasses, "What did you buy?"
"Beer, and some cans."
Xu Xizhou put the two dozen beers in the bag on the table, tilted his head slightly and looked at him, "We haven't celebrated winning the Morocco race yet. How about we don't get drunk tonight?"
Zhuang Jingchun looked at Xu Xizhou, and always felt that there was something weird. In the morning, this guy still looked like he was dying, but in the afternoon, he became extraordinarily excited, as if he had taken fake medicine.
Maybe it's because the impact of all kinds of information in the past two days is too great, and he hasn't recovered yet?
He stared at the beer on the table, frowning slightly, "You have another game in two days, drinking is not good for your health, and it will also affect your memory—"
"Stop."
Xu Xizhou took a can of beer and threw it into Zhuang Jingchun's arms.
"Even my nutritionist is not as strict as you. The degree is not high, so there will be no problems."
after an hour.
Xu Xizhou's cheeks were slightly red, he was holding a half-baked pizza in his left hand, and an empty can of beer in his right hand.
He raised his head, took a few sips from the empty can, but didn't taste the wine, put down the can in disappointment, and took another bite of the pizza crust.
"Overseas pizza is too bad, there is no food. It's all meat, it's so boring." Xu Xizhou complained inarticulately.
"Then you still eat so much." Zhuang Jingchun covered the takeaway box in his hand, put away the disposable gloves and used tissues on the dining table, and threw them into the trash can.
"Hey, why don't you drink? I'm the only one drinking."
Xu Xizhou opened a can of beer and handed it to Zhuang Jingchun.
"Didn't you say that if you don't get drunk, you won't go home?"
Under the warm yellow chandelier, the boy's eyes shone with fragments of light.
Zhuang Jingchun stared at him, lost in thought for a moment.He didn't realize that he was holding the can of beer until he felt a cool touch from his fingertips.
Seeing his hesitation, Xu Xizhou was a little puzzled, "You are also allergic to malt, right?"
Zhuang Jingchun sighed, broke off the tab, poured the beer into the glass, and touched the beer in his hand.
"No allergies, but I don't like alcohol."
Alcohol is always easy to paralyze people's brains, making people emotional and weak.He doesn't like this feeling.
"That's it, hurry up and drink with me!"
Xu Xizhou became interested, walked around the dining table, sat on the stool beside him, put a hand on his shoulder, and touched his cup.
"I'll toast, you can do whatever you want."
Xu Xizhou drank the beer in the glass in one gulp.He put his arms around Zhuang Jingchun's shoulders, his face was very close to him, and the heat of his breath sprayed on his cheeks.But he still didn't realize it, his eyes were slightly curved, with a kind of abnormal excitement.
"I'm now... the grandson of the richest man... Heh, why don't you rush to curry favor with me?"
For some reason, he patted Zhuang Jingchun's face with an evil smile, "Beauty, let me tell you... I will take care of you from now on. You'd better listen to me obediently, you know?"
Zhuang Jingchun took away the palm he was pressing on her face, with deep green eyes, "Are you so happy?"
"Of course I'm happy, I..."
Xu Xizhou stuck out his tongue, and suddenly burped loudly.He blinked, and met Zhuang Jingchun's gaze again, the excitement in his eyes was suddenly replaced by some kind of sadness.
"I'm so happy! So what about the richest man! I don't care about that kind of rich family. I hate that kind of rich family. There is no freedom at all. It's all rules... They just found me, and I'm still a little fresh. Look at me. It's pleasing to the eye, but it won't be long before they will be disappointed in me... Maybe they will even dislike me..."
"Why are you disappointed?" Zhuang Jingchun said softly.
Xu Xizhou smiled self-deprecatingly, and squeezed the empty jar in his hand.
"Because I can't meet their expectations, what they want... must be a good and well-behaved successor, like Lu Rong... and I, with a bad temper and arrogant domineering, only consider my own preferences in everything I do , they won't like me like this..."
"Your temper really needs work."
Zhuang Jingchun took the squashed empty jar from his hand, "However, I don't think the Ren family's thinking will be so conservative. I have met your mother, and I think she should be an enlightened woman."
Xu Xizhou didn't hear what he said behind, and the focus was all on his previous sentence.
It's one thing for him to laugh at himself, but he's not very happy when those shortcomings come out of other people's mouths.
He curled his lips, and suddenly approached Zhuang Jingchun, bumping his forehead hard against his forehead, staring straight at him with watery black eyes.
"Say it again, where do I need to improve?"
The breath is intertwined, and the distance between the lips is less than one centimeter.
It's too close, Zhuang Jingchun thought with some annoyance.As soon as he raised his head, he could kiss Xu Xizhou's lips.
However, the boy didn't know that his actions were provocative. He blinked his black eyelashes, wrapped his arms around his neck, and looked at him with gritted teeth.
His lips were extraordinarily full, with a watery glow, and under the warm yellow light, there was an indescribable temptation.
Zhuang Jingchun's heart skipped a beat.
To kiss, or do something crazier?
The author has something to say:
Catch bugs
What is this man talking about? !Wasn't Xu Xizhou abandoned?Where did this uncle come from?

Zhuang Jingchun smiled lightly, and straightened his crooked hat for him.
"Okay, remember to bring an umbrella."
The moment Xu Xizhou stepped out of the elevator, he hesitated for a moment.
He glanced at the Longevity Lock in his hand, heartbroken, and strode out.
Under the shade of the tree, the woman in the gray coat still maintained the previous posture, sitting there upright and elegant.
As if feeling a staring gaze, the woman raised her head, and the eyes under the brim of the hat suddenly burst into light.
"Xiaoxi..." Shu Yue's beautiful eyebrows suddenly brightened, and she walked towards him overjoyed.
"You finally came to see me."
Xu Xizhou looked at him, the woman was younger than he imagined, probably from a famous family, with a noble and elegant temperament on her body.
"I'm sorry, yesterday your uncle accidentally slipped his mouth. We didn't intend to tell you so soon, but we were afraid that you wouldn't be able to accept it."
"Is that flower basket from you?" Xu Xizhou asked.
The woman nodded and looked at him with a slight smile.
"That's a flower basket I made with my own hands. I also wrote the letterhead. The time is short, the colors may not match well, and I don't know what boys your age like. I will prepare some other gifts for you next time." .”
"You don't need to give me a gift." Xu Xizhou struggled a little. Looking at the woman's face, he realized that he really couldn't say anything harsh.
"I want to fly around for the game, and I can't take gifts away. Besides, my apartment is very small and I can't fit too many things."
He paused, then spread his palms again, "You don't need to give me this longevity lock, it's too expensive. Take it back."
Shu Yue looked at him, her eyes were slightly red.
"But this longevity lock was given to you by your biological father, and it has been with you since you were born. It was originally yours."
"Xiao Zhou, I know, you still think it's all unreal. Can you listen to me tell a story?"
Thin and dense raindrops fell from the gaps in the leaves and dripped on the woman's hair.Xu Xizhou pursed his lips and opened the umbrella in his hand, "Sit somewhere else."
in the cafe.
A woman's voice spoke.
"Your father and I met at an art exhibition. At that time, I was just a student of the Academy of Fine Arts, and your father was an amateur racing driver. We fell in love at first sight and got married not long after."
"We had you within two years of our marriage. In those few years, your grandfather's company developed rapidly, and the stock price soared after listing. It must have been too eye-catching and was targeted by the local bandit leader. You were born not long ago , those bandits took advantage of your father’s absence, tied our mother and son to the mountain, and demanded a huge ransom from your grandfather.”
"... Your grandfather pretended to cooperate and called the police in private. I was not long after giving birth, and I was weak. I passed out when I saw you being snatched by the gangsters. The police told me what happened next. They caught one of them. Bandit, the bandit said they threw you into the river..."
Recalling this, the woman seemed to be unable to speak, her voice choked up.
"The police searched the whole mountain and only found your hat by the river. We all thought you were..."
Xu Xizhou looked at her tear-filled eyes, pursed his lips, and gave her a tissue.
Shu Yue took the tissue and wiped the corners of her eyes.
"It wasn't until another gangster was arrested a few months ago that we learned that you were not thrown into the river, but were picked up and adopted by nearby villagers. Later, the police officer investigating the case saw the murderer in Wancheng. News, follow the clues, and I found you."
After understanding the cause and effect, Xu Xizhou suddenly felt relieved.It turned out that he was not abandoned, but a mistake of fate that caused him to be separated from his biological parents for so many years.
"Xiaozhou, I'm sorry, my mother hasn't looked for you for so many years, can you forgive my mother?"
Xu Xizhou stroked the coffee cup in his hand, his thick eyelashes drooping.
"It wasn't your fault in the first place, why should I blame you?"
"It's fine if you don't blame me. I know that you can't accept so many changes for a while. I won't force you to recognize us right away. As long as you don't reject me, let me watch you from a distance and care about you. That's enough. Can you?"
Seeing the woman's teary eyes, Xu Xizhou couldn't bear it.
He hummed lightly.
The woman burst into tears immediately.
Xu Xizhou left the umbrella to Shu Yue, and walked slowly back to the apartment by himself.
He opened the door and found Zhuang Jingchun asleep on the sofa.The man's face was slightly tired, and there was a circle of black and blue under his eyes. He probably rushed over early in the morning and didn't sleep well.
He took off his shoes lightly, went to the bedroom and took out a thin blanket. Just as he was about to cover Zhuang Jingchun, the man opened his eyes.
"Are you finished talking?"
Zhuang Jingchun looked concerned.
"Well, she said she won't bother me for the time being, and will give me time to digest slowly."
"I just received a courier for you, and it was sent from China."
Xu Xizhou had noticed the package under the coffee table a long time ago, picked it up with some doubts, and when he opened it to see what was inside, he suddenly couldn't laugh or cry.
It is the original paternity test.The sender is Ren Junyun.
"Do you still feel that all this is unreal?" Zhuang Jingchun looked at him with a smile.
Xu Xizhou opened the certificate of appraisal, glanced at it, and shrugged.
"So-so. I'm hungry. Where did you put the bread you just brought?"
"What bread do you still eat? It's almost noon, go out and eat."
In the afternoon, Xu Xizhou went to school for class, and Zhuang Jingchun slept in the apartment.When he woke up, it was already dark, the rain outside had stopped, and the road was washed by the rain, and it was exceptionally clean.
He took out his mobile phone and was about to call Xu Xizhou when the lock was unlocked outside.
Xu Xizhou was carrying a large bag of things in his hand, and as he walked around, the things in the bag collided and made crisp sounds.
Zhuang Jingchun rubbed the bridge of her nose and put on her glasses, "What did you buy?"
"Beer, and some cans."
Xu Xizhou put the two dozen beers in the bag on the table, tilted his head slightly and looked at him, "We haven't celebrated winning the Morocco race yet. How about we don't get drunk tonight?"
Zhuang Jingchun looked at Xu Xizhou, and always felt that there was something weird. In the morning, this guy still looked like he was dying, but in the afternoon, he became extraordinarily excited, as if he had taken fake medicine.
Maybe it's because the impact of all kinds of information in the past two days is too great, and he hasn't recovered yet?
He stared at the beer on the table, frowning slightly, "You have another game in two days, drinking is not good for your health, and it will also affect your memory—"
"Stop."
Xu Xizhou took a can of beer and threw it into Zhuang Jingchun's arms.
"Even my nutritionist is not as strict as you. The degree is not high, so there will be no problems."
after an hour.
Xu Xizhou's cheeks were slightly red, he was holding a half-baked pizza in his left hand, and an empty can of beer in his right hand.
He raised his head, took a few sips from the empty can, but didn't taste the wine, put down the can in disappointment, and took another bite of the pizza crust.
"Overseas pizza is too bad, there is no food. It's all meat, it's so boring." Xu Xizhou complained inarticulately.
"Then you still eat so much." Zhuang Jingchun covered the takeaway box in his hand, put away the disposable gloves and used tissues on the dining table, and threw them into the trash can.
"Hey, why don't you drink? I'm the only one drinking."
Xu Xizhou opened a can of beer and handed it to Zhuang Jingchun.
"Didn't you say that if you don't get drunk, you won't go home?"
Under the warm yellow chandelier, the boy's eyes shone with fragments of light.
Zhuang Jingchun stared at him, lost in thought for a moment.He didn't realize that he was holding the can of beer until he felt a cool touch from his fingertips.
Seeing his hesitation, Xu Xizhou was a little puzzled, "You are also allergic to malt, right?"
Zhuang Jingchun sighed, broke off the tab, poured the beer into the glass, and touched the beer in his hand.
"No allergies, but I don't like alcohol."
Alcohol is always easy to paralyze people's brains, making people emotional and weak.He doesn't like this feeling.
"That's it, hurry up and drink with me!"
Xu Xizhou became interested, walked around the dining table, sat on the stool beside him, put a hand on his shoulder, and touched his cup.
"I'll toast, you can do whatever you want."
Xu Xizhou drank the beer in the glass in one gulp.He put his arms around Zhuang Jingchun's shoulders, his face was very close to him, and the heat of his breath sprayed on his cheeks.But he still didn't realize it, his eyes were slightly curved, with a kind of abnormal excitement.
"I'm now... the grandson of the richest man... Heh, why don't you rush to curry favor with me?"
For some reason, he patted Zhuang Jingchun's face with an evil smile, "Beauty, let me tell you... I will take care of you from now on. You'd better listen to me obediently, you know?"
Zhuang Jingchun took away the palm he was pressing on her face, with deep green eyes, "Are you so happy?"
"Of course I'm happy, I..."
Xu Xizhou stuck out his tongue, and suddenly burped loudly.He blinked, and met Zhuang Jingchun's gaze again, the excitement in his eyes was suddenly replaced by some kind of sadness.
"I'm so happy! So what about the richest man! I don't care about that kind of rich family. I hate that kind of rich family. There is no freedom at all. It's all rules... They just found me, and I'm still a little fresh. Look at me. It's pleasing to the eye, but it won't be long before they will be disappointed in me... Maybe they will even dislike me..."
"Why are you disappointed?" Zhuang Jingchun said softly.
Xu Xizhou smiled self-deprecatingly, and squeezed the empty jar in his hand.
"Because I can't meet their expectations, what they want... must be a good and well-behaved successor, like Lu Rong... and I, with a bad temper and arrogant domineering, only consider my own preferences in everything I do , they won't like me like this..."
"Your temper really needs work."
Zhuang Jingchun took the squashed empty jar from his hand, "However, I don't think the Ren family's thinking will be so conservative. I have met your mother, and I think she should be an enlightened woman."
Xu Xizhou didn't hear what he said behind, and the focus was all on his previous sentence.
It's one thing for him to laugh at himself, but he's not very happy when those shortcomings come out of other people's mouths.
He curled his lips, and suddenly approached Zhuang Jingchun, bumping his forehead hard against his forehead, staring straight at him with watery black eyes.
"Say it again, where do I need to improve?"
The breath is intertwined, and the distance between the lips is less than one centimeter.
It's too close, Zhuang Jingchun thought with some annoyance.As soon as he raised his head, he could kiss Xu Xizhou's lips.
However, the boy didn't know that his actions were provocative. He blinked his black eyelashes, wrapped his arms around his neck, and looked at him with gritted teeth.
His lips were extraordinarily full, with a watery glow, and under the warm yellow light, there was an indescribable temptation.
Zhuang Jingchun's heart skipped a beat.
To kiss, or do something crazier?
