Chapter 135: Gu Yizhou’s View on Love

Chapter 135: Chapter 135: Gu Yizhou’s View on Love

9:30 PM.

At a barbecue stall in the Qingyun Night Market.

A chubby guy and a skinny guy, two young men, sat at the barbecue stall, eating skewers.

Some people say a beautiful woman holding a cat has a special kind of charm.

So what about a handsome guy holding a cat?

Well... he can attract a lot of girls.

"MEOW~!"

Yan Luoxi hissed, waving her cat paws, scaring away yet another girl who wanted to pet her—she’d lost count of how many there’d been tonight.

They all pretended to be animal lovers, but they were really just trying to get that dog Gu Yizhou’s contact information.

That’s right.

The trio of two young men and one cat was none other than Gu Yizhou, his good brother Chen Dongyuan, and Yan Luoxi.

This strange combination—Gu Yizhou holding a cat while eating skewers and drinking beer—had become the main attraction at the barbecue stall tonight, drawing the gazes of many young women.

But!

As a cat, being protective of her food seemed to have become her instinct.

’Is my cat slave someone you people are allowed to flirt with?’

So how could she possibly be nice to those girls?

However, Yan Luoxi was quite satisfied with Gu Yizhou’s response to the girls.

"Sorry, I have a girlfriend."

Gu Yizhou smiled, patiently repeating this little white lie to every girl who came up to hit on him.

"Sigh~"

Chen Dongyuan sighed, pulled a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, and quietly lit one.

Seeing this, Gu Yizhou frowned slightly.

When Chen Dongyuan noticed Gu Yizhou frowning at him, he tapped another cigarette out of the pack and offered it to him. "Want one?"

"I quit."

Gu Yizhou shook his head.

Chen Dongyuan was slightly taken aback. "Decided to turn over a new leaf?"

"Turn over a new leaf, my ass!"

Gu Yizhou shot his friend a glare and said irritably, "I just felt like it was pointless, so I quit."

"How long has it been?"

Chen Dongyuan asked.

"Haven’t touched one since I started working."

Gu Yizhou replied casually.

"!"

"WHAT THE FUCK!"

"Back in the dorm, you were the heaviest smoker of us all! Two packs a day, like a fucking chimney!"

"And now you’re telling me you fucking quit?!"

Chen Dongyuan cursed.

As he spoke, he lit the cigarette dangling from his lips and took a vicious drag.

Gu Yizhou shook his head helplessly, then glanced at Chen Dongyuan and said, "Alright, you damn fatty. Seriously, you should cut back too. This stuff isn’t good for you."

But obviously, his words were useless. Chen Dongyuan didn’t take them to heart at all.

After all, he’d heard the same thing countless times.

"I know, I know!"

"But, your bro smokes because it hurts my lungs, not my heart!"

Chen Dongyuan gave Gu Yizhou a resentful look and said irritably, "I’m getting more and more tempted to scratch up your pretty face, damn it! I feel like you’re playing life on custom mode, while I’m stuck on a factory reset. We’re both guys, so why is there such a huge gap between us?"

"We both have one nose and two eyes, and you’re only a tiny bit more handsome than me. Why do all the girls go for you and not even spare me a glance?"

"Damn you, Fate! I refuse to accept this!"

Gu Yizhou: "..."

"There’s this comedy series with a playboy in it, and he once said something."

Gu Yizhou thought for a moment and said, "As a man who wants to become a playboy, do you want to hear the teachings of the original master playboy?"

"Uh-huh?"

Chen Dongyuan’s eyes lit up slightly!

"Of course I do."

"I have drifted for half my life, regretting only that I never found a worthy lord. If you will not cast me aside, I am willing to acknowledge you as my adoptive father."

"Adoptive Father, teach me quickly!"

"Then listen up."

Gu Yizhou petted the cat with one hand, picked up a grilled oyster with the other, and took a bite. Then, he said slowly, "He said, ’Life has no rehearsals; every moment is a live broadcast. And a woman’s mind... is like your mom’s, you never know what’s inside.’"

"PFFT!"

Chen Dongyuan spat out the beer in his mouth.

Yan Luoxi was furious and wanted to give Gu Yizhou a good scratch.

’What’s wrong with women?’

’Did women eat all your rice or something?’

Still, it was pretty funny when someone who rarely joked around suddenly cracked a joke.

Although Yan Luoxi was annoyed, she couldn’t help but feel a little amused.

"You’re a real piece of work!"

Chen Dongyuan gave Gu Yizhou a thumbs-up. "But are you sure the master playboy said that?"

"Of course."

Gu Yizhou nodded with certainty.

The first half of the sentence was indeed said by some playboy.

But the second half was his own addition.

"There’s a joke: The butterfly says to the little bee, ’You’re so stingy. You’re full of sweet nothings, but you won’t say a single one to me.’ The bee says, ’Hmph, you’re one to talk. You’ve got those two long antennas on your head, so why don’t you text me?’"

Gu Yizhou shrugged. "You just talk a big game all day, but I never see you actually pursuing any girls. So stop complaining to me about my life, okay?"

"Uh, well..."

Chen Dongyuan’s face flushed. "Old Gu, you know how it is. I’m an introvert, right?"

"You? An introvert? An introvert my ass!"

Gu Yizhou pursed his lips, speechless. "You’re here shooting the shit with me, but the moment you’re in front of a girl, you’re suddenly an introvert? Do you even believe that when you say it?"

"Err..."

Chen Dongyuan said awkwardly, "Alright, fine. I’m just shy and embarrassed!"

Gu Yizhou shook his head. "Too proud for your own good. If you keep this up, forget being a playboy, you probably won’t even make it as a simp. You’re on the fast track to dying alone!"

"Hmm... but it doesn’t matter anyway. Isn’t choosing to stay single all the rage now?"

"At worst, we’ll just go to a nursing home when we’re old. They’ve got food, drinks, and a bunch of old guys and gals to hang out with!"

Chen Dongyuan: "..."

"Ptooey, ptooey, ptooey!"

"You’re the one who’s going to a nursing home! Don’t you fucking jinx me!"

"Besides! You punk, you have the nerve to talk about me?"

Chen Dongyuan pursed his lips, then pointed at Gu Yizhou and said irritably, "You’re single yourself!"

"Oh? And?"

Gu Yizhou glanced at Chen Dongyuan, his expression calm as he said coolly, "If I wanted to find someone, do you think I’d have any trouble?"

Chen Dongyuan: "..."

"Damn it!"

"I almost forgot how popular you are with the ladies, you dog!"

"Speaking of which, Su Qianqian, the Su School Beauty, likes you too. Why don’t you accept her?"

The thought suddenly occurred to Chen Dongyuan, so he asked, curious and confused.

"Uh... (⊙o⊙)..."

Hearing this, Gu Yizhou’s expression froze for a moment.

Meanwhile, Yan Luoxi, who was lying in Gu Yizhou’s arms, secretly perked up her ears.

’Su Qianqian...?’

’Isn’t that the A-cup girl?’

She could tell that little vixen liked Gu Yizhou, so now she was also very curious to hear how he would answer.

After a long silence, Gu Yizhou gave a wry smile and said, "There’s no real reason, I’m just not interested."

"This whole relationship thing, you know how it is, it’s all about fate."

"Maybe my fated one just hasn’t arrived yet!"

"As for all the bad romance luck from those who aren’t ’the one,’ I’ve had more than enough of that since I was a kid, you know?"

Chen Dongyuan: "..."
