Chapter 95.2
Face-slapping the childhood sweetheart (3.2)
Editor: Nadralexe
Zhou Xu answered casually, “The person who used to be my brother.”
Ye Shaoyun was stunned for a moment before remembering who Ruyu was. Fourteen years have passed so fast that Zhou Xu has grown up almost in an instant in his world, and he hasn’t even had enough of his delicate tender face yet. Now, Zhou Xu was already a six-foot-tall teenager.
Ye Shaoyun didn’t have any spare mind to think about others with that Zhou Xu alone was enough to fill his entire life.
“I thought he left already. Why is he back again?”
“He is registered here on his ID, so of course, he has to come back to take the college entrance exam. Oh right, he mentioned that he wants to come by sometime and have a meal together.”
“Oh? And you agreed?”
“Not yet, I said it depends on whether you have time or not.”
Ye Shaoyun smiled and said, “In that case, tell him that I am very, very busy, so busy that I barely have any time to come home.”
Zhou Xu glanced at Ye Shaoyun, who was wearing an apron, and then smiled, “How busy can you be? You have time to make food every day and even peel shrimp for me.”
“That’s right! You are the most important thing to me in this world.”
Zhou Xu almost choked. Despite knowing that Ye Shaoyun had no intention of being in a special relationship with him, Zhou Xu still wanted to push Ye Shaoyun over onto a bed and fully enjoy himself.
Still, that was nothing more than a thought that flashed across his mind. He still had to find a way to prove to Ye Shaoyun that he was not only a nephew but also an attractive man, a perfect person to fall in love with.
Before that, Zhou Xu had to make some psychological preparations for Ye Shaoyun, since Zhou Xu himself liked men.
During dinner, Zhou Xu stared at Ye Shaoyun as Ye Shaoyun was focusing on peeling the shrimp.
After peeling, he put the shrimp directly into Zhou Xu’s mouth.
Zhou Xu ate the shrimp in one bit, took Ye Shaoyun’s hand, and said, “There’s juice.”
Then, he casually licked Ye Shaoyun’s finger. Ye Shaoyun froze and immediately withdrew his hand, but Zhou Xu continued eating like there was nothing wrong with that.
After they finished, Zhou Xu sat next to Ye Shaoyun as they were watching TV, and took Ye Shaoyun’s to place it on his shoulder. This way, Zhou Xu seemed to be lying in Ye Shaoyun’s arms.
This looked so loving and intimate, but it wasn’t anything too unusual, so Ye Shaoyun didn’t think much about it.
“Did you finish all your homework?” asked Ye Shaoyun.
“Yes, it’s all done. I want to ask you something.”
“What is it?”
“Uncle, I found that I have no interest in women, I like men.”
Ye Shaoyun didn’t seem too surprised, because this world was quite friendly to homosexuals. They could marry, adopt children, and not be looked down upon. So, at most Ye Shaoyun would only be surprised or get mad, but he wouldn’t kick Zhou Xu out of the house.
“Oh, sure. So be it. Just make sure you don’t get bullied… and don’t bully others.”
“Alright, Uncle. I also like men who are older than me, preferably those who are more than ten years older. I find those people to be particularly attractive.”
Ye Shaoyun sat up to look at Zhou Xu this time. “More than ten years older than you? Then that man must be around his 30s. Most people are already married by then, are you sure that you aren’t being fooled by someone?”
“Yes.”
“Don’t sleep with someone until you know him well. Do you understand?”
“Yes.”
After Zhou Xu agreed, he added, “I like people who are just like you, uncle.”
After saying so, Zhou Xu went upstairs to sleep, but Ye Shaoyun was still in shock from what Zhou Xu said. Is it because I cared too much about Zhou Xu that made Zhou Xu think that way?
Ye Shaoyun decided to start working at a company so that he could give Zhou Xu some extra freedom to explore the world more.
Thinking about this, Ye Shaoyun called his boss.
The boss he called was furious when Ye Shaoyun left, but since he had such a great reputation and skills, the boss could only swallow his anger. Now hearing that Ye Shaoyun decided to come back, the boss was so glad. So many customers would only accept Ye Shaoyun’s design, giving the boss a headache when he had to deal with the situation every time.
“Boss, can you please come back soon, I beg you.”
“Yes, I’ll go to work tomorrow. Oh, by the way, I don’t do difficult tasks, I still have to cook for my nephew.”
“Ok ok ok, whatever you want. As long as you come back, I can even go pick the stars in the sky for you.”
Ye Shaoyun hung up the phone and remembered Zhou Xu’s words again. For some reason, a sudden scene flashed through his mind. It was the scene of Zhou Xu inadvertently licking his fingers during the meal just now. He can still remember the tingling feeling he felt.
He shook his head quickly and waved away the thoughts in his mind. Ye Shaoyun felt like he must have had too much time recently, which was why he kept thinking about these kinds of stuff.
Zhou Xu saw Ye Shaoyun’s reaction on the second floor. Knowing that he probably wouldn’t accept it at first, but even if he made him change a little bit of his mind, then it could already be considered a success. Zhou Xu had plenty of other ways to make Ye Shaoyun move.
After that day, Ye Shaoyun went to work. And after going there did he discover the reason why his boss had such a headache. It was because a rich lady insisted to let only Ye Shaoyun do the design of her house. But the problem was, Ye Shaoyun wasn’t present! So that made his boss very worried. Since the woman had an extraordinary background too, he didn’t dare to provoke her.
When he arrived at the company, the boss almost treated him like an emperor, and Ye Shaoyun also agreed to get to know this beauty.
The beauty was named He Meng, who was 23 this year. After falling in love with Ye Shaoyun at first sight, she couldn’t forget him at all. She tried her best to get closer to him, but Ye Shaoyun never took the time to even take a look at her.
From the outside, Ye Shaoyun looked really cold. But He Meng thought he was like this to everyone, and liked him even more.
This time, Ye Shaoyun felt like he couldn’t avoid it anymore. Therefore, he invited He Meng to a meal together in the afternoon. Of course, this was to explain everything to her, but He Meng thought that her efforts finally paid off.
Ye Shaoyun’s style was considered vigorous, but even so, he often had to rework. After all, his job was to design, and a small mistake may cause the whole design to start over.
On this day, he completed the design of a simple small villa. After finish, the design, a lot of revisions were still needed. But although there would be a lot of revisions, as long as the overall framework was in place, there shouldn’t be any major problems.
When he finished, his watch showed 6:30. He quickly called Zhou Xu, telling him to go buy something to eat, and then went to meet He Meng.
The restaurant was very luxurious. In the dim lighting and ambiguous atmosphere, Ye Shaoyun only felt awkward. Although he was rich, he didn’t like this kind of environment. He’d rather make some food and eat it together with Zhou Xu, clean and comfortable.
Finally, he found He Meng, who was well-dressed and sitting in the corner. Ye Shaoyun asked, “Why did you choose a place like this?”
He Meng asked back, “Where else? Isn’t it very convenient to be able to say whatever we want at a place like this?”
Ye Shaoyun frowned and sat down with his indifferently cold expression. If others were to see this, they would have definitely thought these people were strangers and accidentally sat in the wrong place.
“Shaoyun, what would you like to drink before dinner? How about a White Martini?”
“No thanks, I didn’t plan to eat.”
“Huh?”
He Meng raised her head from the menu and looked very confused. Ye Shaoyun didn’t want to talk too much and said directly, “Miss He, I’m sorry. I understand your kindness, but I am not a good match with you, so please stop clinging to me.”
He Meng was stunned as Ye Shaoyun continued, “Although I don’t know what caused this misunderstanding, if there are any, I apologize. If there aren’t any, then you should know that I don’t love you. So please don’t make it hard for our company either, please?”
He spoke everything he had wanted to say. He tried to be gentle, but he didn’t know how to be gentle to anyone but Zhou Xu. He thought that he was a gentle person, but since all of it was for Zhou Xu, there was none left for anyone else.
He Meng’s eyes were full of tears, and after Ye Shaoyun finished speaking, he stood up and bowed slightly, “Sorry, Miss He, if I made myself clear, then I’ll be leaving now.”
After that, Ye Shaoyun turned around and was about to leave. But just after two steps, he was stopped by a teenager.
The young man had a pair of enlightening eyes. Ye Shaoyun felt like he had seen this person somewhere before, but he couldn’t remember where.
With his eyebrows tightly furrowed, he asked in a not-so-gentle tone, “Can I help you?”
The teenager did not seem to be annoyed, and instead, a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. His face looked exactly like a standard handsome guy. He was also very well-dressed and spoke very politely. Anyone who met him for the first time should have a pretty good impression of him, but unfortunately, the person in front of him was Ye Shaoyun, a person who has no one else in his eyes but his nephew.
“Uncle Ye, don’t you remember me?”
Ye Shaoyun was finally stunned, is this handsome boy Ru Yu?
Time always flew by so quickly. The five-year-old child has already grown so big.
He sighed in his heart because Ru Yu made him understand that his Xiao Xu is already a grown-up. He wouldn’t kiss his face as he did as a child, he wouldn’t climb onto his bed anymore and beg to sleep with him, he wouldn’t kiss him on the lips again.
Inexplicably, Ye Shaoyun felt a little sad. Perhaps he needed to divert his attention now because he was very afraid that after Zhou Xu left him for college, he would be very lost in life.
In addition, Zhou Xu would fall in love, get married, then move away in the future. At that time, I’ll probably be very lonely, thought Ye Shaoyun.
“Uncle Ye? Uncle Ye?” Ru Yu asked after seeing that Ye Shaoyun was not speaking. He seemed to be wondering about something or his mind was blank.
Ye Shaoyun looked at Ru Yu coldly and asked again, “Can I help you?”
“Nothing really, it’s just that I haven’t seen you for such a long time. I’m very happy to see you again, Uncle Ye. Would you like to have a meal together?”
“No thanks, I still have something to do, we can later.”
“Then, Uncle Ye, can you leave me your phone number? At least we are friends?”
Now that Ru Yu said so, Ye Shaoyun couldn’t refuse either. They took out their phones and exchanged their numbers, and then he hurried home.
In this luxurious restaurant, Ru Yu walked up to He Meng and smiled, “Cousin, do you like that man?”
He Meng was already very upset, and after seeing her cousin talking about it again, she got even angrier.
She reached out her hand to slap Ru Yu’s face, but her wrist was caught by Ru Yu in mid-air. Ru Yu’s handsome face smiled slightly, but she knew that he must be up-to-no-good. Sure enough, she heard Ru Yu say, “Let’s not talk about whether he likes you or not. Even if he does, I can take him from you. Cousin, what do you think?”
