Chapter 26: Twenty-six Heart-beating Moments

"Sorry, he's not at work yet."

Pei Weixue shifted her gaze to Su Yin, who had buried his head in her chest, and hugged him and said to the manager, "When do you start work?"

"Around 10 o'clock. He's our star player, so he arranges his own schedule." After the manager finished explaining, he noticed that the atmosphere in the private room was not right, so he said, "Mr. Jiang, how about I take these guys downstairs?"

Oh my god! It's a signboard! Su Yin was shocked. The temperature around him dropped several degrees. Pei Weixue sneered in his ears. "Signboard?" He couldn't argue even if he wanted to.

Jiang Zhi pinched Su Yin's neck with a forced smile, "Stay here, our boss Su really needs you. When that Ah Yi arrives, have him come directly over."

"OK."

The three male models looked at each other, and finally a male model in a sweater came over first to pour the wine, and the other two also quietly cleaned up the messy table.

"Mr. Su, do you want to adjust it according to your usual taste?" The man in the sweater was holding a wine pot with a box of green tea and foreign wine in front of him. He asked while looking at Su Yin.

Pei Weixue said, "Just mix it like that." This was not his first time here, but Su Yin always came here with drinking buddies he met in nightclubs.

Occasionally, A would swipe his card to give the male model the Ace of Spades. He thought it was a different person, but from what he heard from the manager just now, he meant it was the same person.

He stared at the bartender with a gloomy expression and asked, "Do you know who our CEO Su gave the Ace of Spades to?"

"This..." The male model hesitated to speak and looked at Su Yin, asking with his eyes if he could say it. Su Yin felt hopeless and said, "Go ahead." He could still bear it for the time being.

The male model at Jiangzhi said, "His name is Ayi, he's a junior in college and he came here to work as a male model right after he became an adult."

Su Yin felt that Jiang Zhi was about to break his neck, and his shoulders were about to be crushed. It hurt so much. He didn't dare to make a sound, so he could only stare at the table.

Pei Weixue asked: "What happened when it was first opened?"

The male model glanced at Su Yin again, and Su Yin said, "Don't look at me, I've confessed everything I should have." He also wanted to know what it meant. Could it be that he was more like He Nan than these people? It felt like something "he" could do.

"About four months ago, we were drinking with Mr. Su at a booth outside. Ah Yi passed by, and Mr. Su... just..." He seemed a little hesitant, "and called someone over."

Pei Weixue's face was indifferent, "Then what?"

The male model then asked why Ayi worked here. He said Ayi's family was very poor. Someone in his family was seriously ill and had been in the hospital. The medical expenses were very high, so he came here to serve drinks. After hearing this, Mr. Su was about to let Ayi go, but for some reason, he suddenly asked the manager to open two bottles of Ace of Spades and put them on the bill.

"Heh..." Jiang Zhi sneered, "You're so kindhearted, Gou Yin. I didn't realize you were such a beast that you could do such a thing."

Su Yin laughed awkwardly: "Haha." Do you think I'm willing to do that? I'm spending Xue'er's money! What a lunatic! If he wants to spend money, can't he earn it himself?

And Zhiya, can you let go of my neck first!

"Oh?" Pei Weixue tightened her grip on Su Yin's shoulder. Seeing Su Yin's tightly knit brows, but not daring to cry out in pain, she let go. "Did you go out after the wine was opened?"

"No. Ah Yi doesn't perform anymore." The male model also felt strange when he mentioned this. Normally, when a male model opens the Ace of Spades, it's either because they really like him and want to chat for a while, or they want to take him out for a midnight snack. But Su Yin found it very strange.

As soon as he arrived, Su Yin gave A Yi the Ace of Spades. A Yi wanted to come over and sit for a while, but Su Yin refused.

Very strange behavior.

"Also..." The male model glanced at Pei Weixue's coldly smiling face and swallowed what he wanted to say, "That's all."

Pei Weixue opened his hand, picked up the boiling water and poured a cup, "It's better if it's gone."

Su Yin immediately pulled Jiang Zhi's hand away and went to massage Pei Weixue's shoulders. "I really didn't do anything out of the ordinary. Don't be angry. Being angry will affect your recovery."

"Why don't you tell me who made me angry?" Pei Weixue glanced at him.

"My fault, my fault."

Jiang Zhi, who was standing next to him, stared at the three male models. The more he looked, the more uncomfortable he felt. He didn't know that there were three male models in this store who looked a bit like He Nan.

No wonder He Nan was treated so harshly when I ran into him here just now. Did he think he was a habitual offender in using a substitute? It was all his fault. He spread rumors with one mouth, but it took him a lot of effort to refute them. Oh no, he almost broke his third leg trying to refute them.

"Hey Zhiya, what did you mean by scolding He Nan on the phone just now? I haven't done anything recently. You can't have a fight with me because of me, right?" Su Yin stopped massaging and picked up a glass of prepared wine.

He hadn't looked at Jiang Zhi carefully since he came in, but now when he looked carefully, he saw that the corner of Jiang Zhi's mouth was broken, and the skin exposed by the collar was covered with red marks. The sleeves slid down as he raised the wine glass, and there was also a thin red mark on the wrist.

He closed his eyes, and the words reappeared in his mind. It was bad! He couldn't look his former good brother in the face.

Jiang Zhi rubbed the wound on his wrist, his handsome eyes filled with indignation, and he said heavily: "Nothing!" He couldn't say that He Nan was sarcastic to him and then used the excuse of going to his car to get something he left behind last time, but ended up doing it in the car in the underground parking lot for several hours, right?

You can't say that that bastard He Nan tied his hands to the roof railing and made him hit his head against the car window several times?

If he was stupid, it would definitely be He Nan's fault. He had no energy at work today.

"Not in the mood for work?" Su Yin took a sip and observed Pei Weixue's expression, "Let them go?"

Pei Weixue: “Yeah.” It’s an eyesore if I keep it.

After everyone left, Su Yin's tense nerves finally relaxed a little. Suddenly, he felt a headache, and after shaking his head several times, it felt better. "I see you're quite energetic now."

Jiang Zhi: "Nonsense, I will definitely be in high spirits after get off work."

"Zhi Ya." Su Yin toasted him and said, "I'll drink three glasses myself as an apology for what happened in the past. I won't refuse any repayment you want as long as it's reasonable." After saying that, he drank three glasses in a row.

He can drink quite well and his face doesn't turn red when he drinks, but foreign liquor is too hard to drink. Now his whole mouth is filled with the smell of alcohol, which is really uncomfortable.

"Repay?" Jiang Zhi slapped the sofa, "How are you going to repay..." My Jingye and drum are so worn out!

He kept the second half of the sentence in his stomach, feeling angry and helpless. After all, Su Gouyin was his childhood friend.

If it weren't for their childhood friendship, he would have broken up with Su Yin the first day Su Yin fell in love with He Nan. How could they still meet now? He is not a generous person.

He had always felt that something was amiss with Su Yin, who had been madly pursuing He Nan, but he couldn't figure out why. Su Yin and Pei Weixue's relationship was a major project he had been following step by step, and he racked his brains to help Su Yin come up with a plan to pursue Pei Weixue.

Nowadays, the person who falls in love first always has to take the initiative. Although Su Yin has an extroverted personality, he was actually hesitant when pursuing Pei Weixue. He said he wanted to confess directly, but Su Yin insisted on starting with just being friends.

He said they should have physical contact first, but Su Yin insisted on cooking first.

The ambiguous period lasted too long, so he specially arranged a luxurious confession fireworks display and asked Su Yin to take Pei Weixue to the beach to watch the fireworks and win her over directly. As a result, they did go there. Pei Weixue asked Su Yin how he knew that the fireworks would be set off at this time. Su Yin said that he was thinking for a long time and could only come up with two words: "coincidence".

He hid nearby and couldn't bear to watch.

Every time he ignored his guidance, he could feel Pei Weixue's increasingly clingy eyes towards Su Yin. It was also because of this that when his relationship with He Nan had problems, he subconsciously sought Su Yin's help.

However, Su Yin treated him like a dog and not a human being, and the drum became increasingly cracked (referring to the leather drum).

Even after breaking up, he and He Nan were still the same. They just couldn't go back to the time when they used to sit together and watch movies quietly. Now they did it whenever they met. He sometimes felt strange because he clearly didn't want to do it that much, but his body's reaction betrayed him.

Ding Dong~

【He÷: Come and help me apply the medicine】

Fuck your dad!

Jiang Zhi cursed silently and didn't want to reply.

[He: If you don’t help me wipe it, I’ll curse you to death next time]

Hold!

Is this beast Teddy?

He pretended to apply medicine, but every time he did so, his fingers would rub against his mouth, and in the end he could only use his mouth to wipe it.

It's really an evil spirit.

"Zhiya? If you didn't tell me, I'd think you'd forgiven me." Su Yin climbed up the pole and obediently poured another glass of wine to make peace. "This is for you. Zhiya, I'm really sorry. I'm also really apologizing to you. If you need anything, I'll support you through fire and water!"

Jiang Zhi raised his glass and said, "I'm doing this for Aunt Yue's sake. If you make trouble like this again, I'll beat you to death even if I can't beat you."

Su Yin was about to drink it when he suddenly remembered that when he woke up, his whole body was sore and his face was covered in bruises. Could it be that Jiang Zhi had beaten him? He wanted to ask but swallowed it back. He really deserved to be beaten.

"Okay! Let's do it!"

Pei Weixue watched them toasting from the side, biting the straw and taking a big sip of juice. She didn't know whether it was because she came out for a walk or because she was angry just now, but she felt much better.

After they finished drinking, he asked Jiang Zhi: "Su Yin said that you are our matchmaker. Did you teach Su Yin to get close to me?" Could it be that the encounter in the library was not an accidental one but a premeditated one?

Jiang Zhi raised an eyebrow: "Of course not, I taught him a lot. Unfortunately, that dog didn't do any of it. The only thing he did was to listen to me and come to you."

"I see." Pei Weixue couldn't tell whether he was happy or unhappy. He always thought that even if the incident in the library was premeditated, it should have been Su Yin's own idea, not someone else's instruction.

Although many people have a wingman to help them in their relationships, he is somewhat not fond of it.

"But you didn't remember him that time."

Pei Weixue raised her eyes, "Isn't it the library?"

Su Yin touched his head awkwardly. "It was in the cafeteria. At that time, I saw you staring at the food for a long time without ordering. I guessed you might be hesitant about what to eat, so Zhiya pushed me over and introduced you to the braised fish with carrots." As he spoke, he saw Pei Weixue's thoughtful and confused expression and said, "Right, you don't remember."

Pei Weixue shook his head slightly. He really didn't remember.

He looked quietly into Su Yin's eyes. Between him and Su Yin, he always thought that he was the first to fall in love. He couldn't tell the exact moment. Maybe it was when Su Yin started to serve as his palette, maybe it was when Su Yin always came to him with kiwi juice, maybe it was when Su Yin took him home for a corn feast, maybe it was when Su Yin made clothes for him, maybe it was when Su Yin knew he was mentally ill and still accompanied him in his treatment without hesitation, and so on. There were many more.

Too many to count.

When they were about to continue chatting, the manager opened the door with a male model and said, "Mr. Jiang, Ah Yi has brought it to you."

When the male model's face appeared under the light, Su Yin's face suddenly darkened.

With calm eyebrows and slightly pursed lips, there is a sense of alienation between her eyebrows and eyes. Unlike He Nan, her profile when she tilts her head looks very much like Pei Weixue's youthful look when she was squatting beside the flower bed watching ants moving.
