Chapter 298 Brother Yu

Luo Shu had been working upstairs, and when she stopped, she noticed Yu Zhan leaning against the door, just watching her.

She put down her work, smiled, and walked towards him. "When did you arrive?"

Yu Zhan smiled, took her hand, patted her head, and tucked a strand of hair that was falling from her temple behind her ear.

"I've been here for a while, but I didn't want to call you because you've been so busy."

"Where did you go this morning? I texted you but you didn't reply." She looked up at him, her expression accusatory.

Yu Zhan reached out and pinched her cheek, then gently kissed it.

"You went home for a bit, are you still busy this afternoon?" he asked.

"There's still some work to finish." She pouted. "What's wrong?"

"Could Yu Yu take over the work? We can go to Grandpa's house together this afternoon."

"Grandpa's house?" Luo Shu asked, somewhat puzzled.

Luo Zhen had been recuperating in the hospital for some time, and now he suddenly wanted to go back...

But when she went to check on him a couple of days ago, he was perfectly fine, and there were no messages on his phone. Yu Zhan found out about it before she did.

"What's wrong with Grandpa?" Luo Shu asked, her grip on his hand tightening unexpectedly.

"Grandpa has been discharged from the hospital. We're going over for dinner tonight. Didn't you see the message?"

I wanted to ask her last night, but when I saw that she was tired from playing, she went home, took a shower, and lay down, so I couldn't bear to wake her.

Hearing from Yu Zhan that Luo Zhen's condition had improved and he had returned home, she breathed a sigh of relief.

I went straight to bed when I got home last night and didn't pay any attention to what was posted in the group chat. I was also busy all morning and didn't have time to check the messages. "I didn't notice."

Seeing her pouting lips, Yu Zhan couldn't help but hug her, kiss the corner of her mouth, and press their foreheads together. "Are you hungry? I had someone send some food over today."

Luo Shu gently pushed him away. The studio was much livelier than usual today. Yu Zhan held her tightly, burying his face in her neck.

"I'm hungry," Luo Shu said with a smile.

"You're such a spoilsport, not even letting me hug you." He let go of her, feeling wronged, and tapped her lower abdomen. "Your mom is bullying me again."

"Enough with your tattling, Yu Zhan!" Luo Shu couldn't help but chuckle.

Standing in front of the door, Yuan Chenxi hurriedly pulled one foot back and tiptoed away.

Luo Shu quickly pushed him away and whispered, "Alright, stop fooling around, someone's here..."

Yu Zhan frowned, looking at her. They were an old married couple; this wasn't illegal. She saw it, so what…

Yuan Chenxi touched her burning cheeks and took the elevator downstairs.

Although this kind of thing is common in movies, it's still quite embarrassing to actually witness it.

Her cheeks turned completely red.

She just wanted to go upstairs to get her bag, but unexpectedly she ran into the two of them being all lovey-dovey inside.

She passed by the teahouse and glanced inside unintentionally.

A man was sleeping in a rocking chair, the light from the floor-to-ceiling windows outlining an extremely handsome profile.

"Who's this person inside? It looks like they've been sleeping here all day." Yuan Chenxi followed Zhang Xin inside.

"Mr. Leng, is that him? He's been coming over a lot lately, sleeping here." Zhang Xin tidied the table, and the servant behind her brought up the food that had been delivered.

"He just sleeps here?" Yuan Chenxi wondered.

"Yes, he just sleeps. It's strange, he falls asleep as soon as he arrives, and he doesn't wake up no matter how noisy it is outside."

Yuan Chenxi couldn't help but take a second look.

She hadn't had a chance to properly thank him for what happened last night. Come to think of it, she didn't think she had actually met this Mr. Leng yet.

At this moment, Yu Yu washed his hands and came in, followed closely by Luo Shu and Yu Zhan. They all sat down without prior arrangement.

Halfway through the meal, Yuan Chenxi couldn't help but ask, "Aren't you going to invite Leng Xichen to come along?"

"He went back." Luo Shu raised her chin, gesturing for her to look behind her.

Yuan Chenxi turned to look outside and saw Leng Xichen leaving, another perfect silhouette.

“He never eats here; he just sleeps in and then leaves,” Zhang Xin said.

“…” Yuan Chenxi paused.

He's a rather strange person.

"Ignore him," Yu Zhan said. "He's quiet and quite fierce, so you'd better not get too close to him."

With Yuan Chenxi's talkative mouth, she could definitely drive people away.

Leng Xichen had finally found a place to rest, and he couldn't let Yuan Chenxi ruin it.

Yuan Chenxi felt wronged. She hadn't said anything. She turned her gaze to Luo Shu, hoping to seek Luo Shu's help. To her surprise, Luo Shu nodded as well.

All right.

She was overthinking it; it seems she doesn't need to thank him.

Luo Shu only recently learned that Leng Xichen couldn't sleep at night and often left the lights on. Even when he was just spacing out, he could stay awake until dawn.

Even when he is asleep, his sleep is very light; sometimes even a small firework can wake him from his dreams.

On the contrary, when he came to SY Studio, that small tea room, he could sleep all day long as he lit incense.

"Could it be a problem with the fragrance?" Yuan Chenxi asked.

She has a friend who is a perfumer, who might be able to help.

“It’s not very useful. I brought him some back a few days ago, but he still can’t sleep,” Yu Yu said.

"It's best not to bother him," Yu Zhan reminded him again.

He was afraid that Leng Xichen would have a stress reaction, and that his reaction would be stronger than his own before, at least not like the one he was experiencing now.

“Brother Yu, I didn’t say anything. Your veiled criticism is too obvious.”

"Don't call me brother." Yu Zhan frowned.

"..." Yuan Chenxi was so angry she was about to die.

Luo Shu sat to the side, chuckling to herself.

He seems to really dislike being called "brother," just like when Wen Qi called him that last time.

"Yu Zhan, President Yu, you're too protective of your brother. You should at least let him go out and meet and chat with other people more often. If you keep preventing us from getting close to him like this, he'll probably become withdrawn and die soon." Yuan Chenxi muttered, wanting to scold him.

She had only asked a question out of curiosity, and this was her way of repaying Leng Xichen for his help that day.

"It's like I'm going to eat him up."

Yu Zhan remained silent, as if what Yuan Chenxi said made a lot of sense.

"Why don't you arrange to meet him and have a chat?"

Yuan Chenxi quickly stopped him, "Never mind, President Yu, I want to live a few more years."

Her top priority right now is to make money for her retirement. She doesn't want a man to cut off her financial support.

She knew that in this situation, Leng Xichen must have some kind of psychological problem, just like Yu Zhan back then.

When she saw Yu Zhan back then, he was barely clinging to life, not eating, drinking, sleeping, seeing anyone, or speaking, like a living dead.

Anyone who gets near him is bound to be verbally abused, and he'll even smash whatever he can grab.

That's not the worst part. Yu Zhan can vent his temper, but Leng Xichen can't.

He's so boring.

Aside from going out for a stroll and having a drink at night, he can also stay up all night working.

“…” Yu Zhan frowned.

Leng Xichen is unlikely to be changed by anything.

Besides Leng Xiangyi, it seems that he only has this group of friends left.

"Alright, Brother Yu, stop worrying about it and let's eat." Luo Shu chuckled softly.

The words "Brother Yu" lingered from her lips and reached his ears, causing his Adam's apple to bob involuntarily.

For some reason, the way she said "Brother Yu" was so alluring.

He subtly tugged at his tie, loosening it slightly.
