Chapter 169 Love is a Chaotic Battle

"Aunt Yin, Uncle Lu, thank you so much for your hospitality today. It's getting late, so I'll take my leave now," Bian Ji said.

Bian Ji was sobered up a bit by the cold wind outside. Lu Yinzhao helped him sit inside for ten minutes and gave him a cup of honey water before he got up to greet everyone.

"There's no need to elaborate on the relationship between our two families. Xiao Ji, whenever you want to come and eat our cooking, just come over. My Zhao Zhao used to receive help and care from your family, and now that you treat this place like your own home, there's no need for all these thanks," Yin Song said.

"Yes, there's no need to be so polite. You drank a bit too much today. Are you feeling alright?" Lu Wenyan asked.

Bian Ji shook her head: "No, I'm fine."

"Dad, Mom, I'm taking Brother Aji back." Lu Yinzhao was worried that Bian Ji was unsteady on his feet, so he went forward to support him.

“Okay, then go ahead.” Yin Song and Lu Wenyan agreed casually without giving it much thought.

At this moment, Lu Qi looked over suspiciously and couldn't help but mutter under her breath, "It's such a short distance, why does Zhao Zhao need to take him?"

Lu Cheng's fingers were still busy pressing buttons while playing the game. Upon hearing this, he said, "What do you know? They've been childhood friends since they were little. What's wrong with them being close? If I had a childhood friend like that, I'd be inseparable from him."

Lu Qi rolled her eyes at Lu Cheng, too lazy to say anything more, and went straight back to her room.

Lu Xun watched the two figures disappear into the distance, pursed his lips thoughtfully, and remained silent.

Zhao Zhao and Xiao Ji, are they still so inseparable even now that they've grown up?

On the way home, the two of them openly held hands.

Lu Yinzhao couldn't help but scold Bian Ji again for what had happened earlier, "I told you not to drink so much, but you insisted on showing off, and you even kissed me in front of my third brother. Bian Ji, aren't you afraid of being beaten to death by my brothers?"

Bian Ji was especially happy today. Even after being scolded by Lu Yinzhao, he wasn't angry and was still smiling at him.

"Uncle is so enthusiastic, how can I show weakness in front of your family? From now on, they are my family too, so fight if you want... Anyway, I'm going to be with you for the rest of my life."

The man's voice was clear and slightly hoarse, and it penetrated Lu Yinzhao's ears with exceptional clarity even in the wind.

Bian Ji's blunt remarks made Lu Yinzhao's ears burn.

Bian Ji, who had been drinking, was even bolder than when he confessed his feelings that time, and Lu Yinzhao almost couldn't handle it.

He worried that if the other party continued talking, they might say something inappropriate.

"Alright, alright, I know, stop talking. Go back and get some sleep." Lu Yinzhao pulled Bian Ji along and quickened her pace.

"No one's home tonight, want to come over and sleep here?" Sure enough, the next second, Bian Ji boldly turned on the microphone.

Lu Yinzhao's cheeks flushed, whether from the cold wind or from embarrassment, it was hard to tell.

"I... I'm worried my family will suspect something if I come over. Besides, I just got back today, but I'm not staying at home. That doesn't seem right." Lu Yinzhao suddenly became nervous, still thinking about how to explain.

"I was just kidding." Bian Ji felt even more pleased when he saw the panicked expression on Lu Yinzhao's face.

Lu Yinzhao raised his eyebrows, "Hey! You, Bian Ji! You really are..."

Before he could finish speaking...

The two had arrived at the entrance of the Bian family villa. After the door opened, Bian Ji went in first and pulled the other person into the dark room with a strong hand.

The door was closed in one fell swoop, and the next instant, Lu Yinzhao was pinned behind the door and passionately kissed by Bian Ji.

"Mmm."

Lu Yinzhao's nose was filled with the mixed scent of shower gel and alcohol from Bian Ji's body. Surprisingly, the alcohol smell wasn't too strong; instead, it had a hint of sweetness from the honey water he had drunk at Bian Ji's house earlier.

The tip of their tongue was lifted and pressed down by the other person, swirling and churning, like a pair of dancing partners spinning ecstatically on the dance floor.

Driven by the alcohol, his emotions became even more unrestrained, and his restless fingers boldly strode inside Lu Yinzhao's clothes.

Outside the door, the cold wind howled; inside, the warmth was like fire.

After a long time.

The chaos in the shadows temporarily subsided, and no one noticed the redness in Lu Yinzhao's eyes.

He lowered his head awkwardly, wishing he could bury himself in the ground.

"I...I..."

Bian Ji wiped her fingers with a tissue from the counter in the entryway, her smile never fading.

“Zhao Zhao, I didn’t expect you to be so enthusiastic towards me,” Bian Ji suddenly said.

Lu Yinzhao covered his eyes with one hand, feeling ashamed and indignant. Sometimes he really wanted to tell his body: "Don't be so sensitive, okay?"

Bian Ji led Lu Yinzhao to his room and took out a clean pair of shorts from the drawer. "Change into these quickly, or you'll catch a cold."

Lu Yinzhao felt that these words were a blatant mockery, but he was powerless to refute them at the moment.

He grabbed the shorts and glared at Bian Ji. "It's all your fault!"

Then he rushed into the bathroom and slammed the door shut.

After Lu Yinzhao left, Bian Ji frowned and lay down on the bed. He had gone a bit too far in flirting with her, and now he was getting the consequences.

Bian Ji felt unwell all over and wished he could immediately dive into the ice water pool.

He didn't show it on the surface, but he was actually suffering.

After Lu Yinzhao tidied himself up and came out, Bian Ji felt a little better and sat up from the bed.

"I'm going back now. I've stayed here for so long, if I don't go home soon, it'll be hard to explain later," Lu Yinzhao said irritably.

Fortunately, there weren't any strange marks on the jeans.

Bian Ji silently got up, intending to see Lu Yinzhao to the door, but Lu refused.

"You should rest now, don't bother bringing me back and forth, I can walk by myself." Lu Yinzhao nudged Bian Ji.

"Okay, Zhao Zhao, see you tomorrow." Bian Ji squeezed his hand one last time and said with a smile.

"..."

Lu Yinzhao left Bian Ji's house as if he were fleeing in panic.

Desire is a truly terrifying thing. He used to think that he was aloof and indifferent, but he never expected that after opening that floodgate, the flood would be released so easily.

When Lu Yinzhao returned home, she tried her best to make her expression and behavior look natural.

Thinking that if his family asked, he would say he played a game at Bian Ji's house.

As a result, not a single person asked him.

Lu Yinzhao breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that he and Bian Ji had been hanging out together since they were little, and their families were probably used to them visiting each other.

That's true. How could most people think that far ahead? At most, they'd just think they're friends and have a good relationship.

That's right, that's exactly it!

As Lu Yinzhao was happily preparing to return to her room, she was startled when she passed through the corridor by half of her third brother's face peeking out from under the door.

"Third Brother, what are you doing?" Lu Yinzhao patted his chest, his soul almost leaving his body.

"Just got back?" Lu Yuan stared at Lu Yinzhao, looking him up and down.

"Huh? Hmm..." Lu Yinzhao nodded hesitantly.

Lu Yuan glanced at the time.

It took forty minutes.

"Are you free tomorrow?" Lu Yuan asked.

Lu Yinzhao thought of Bian Ji's words, "See you tomorrow," and wondered if she would be free tomorrow.

"Third Brother, is there... is something wrong?" Lu Yinzhao asked.

"We finally have a holiday, and I wanted to take you out to relax," Lu Yuan said.

After all, it's uncertain whether there will be time later.

With Bian Ji holding Zhao Zhao so tightly, how can he, as her older brother, possibly have any time alone with his younger brother?

"Oh, I see... Okay, Third Brother, I'll go out with you tomorrow."

Lu Yinzhao thought that he hadn't seen his third brother for a while, but he saw Bian Ji often. Since he was on vacation, he should spend more time with his family.

Bian Ji's behavior today was too unrestrained, and he even made himself look a bit embarrassed.

I'm not playing with Bian Ji tomorrow!

Lu Yinzhao answered affirmatively again, "Third Brother, I want to go out and play with you tomorrow!"

"It might snow heavily tomorrow, so I won't take you outside for a stroll. I don't have any special plans, I was just thinking of watching a movie together and then having a nice meal. What do you think?"

"Sure, I haven't been to the movies in ages. Is it just the two of us? Where are the others?"

"They all probably have their own things to do, so don't worry about them. I just want to take you out."

Lu Yuan deliberately emphasized the words "one person," wanting to see if Lu Yinzhao would suggest adding more people.

To everyone's surprise, Zhao Zhao immediately nodded in agreement, "Okay! Third Brother, tomorrow is a private trip for you and me! It's settled then!"

"Um."

After Lu Yinzhao returned to his room, Lu Yuan nodded in satisfaction.

Zhao Zhao still listens to her third brother and hasn't been completely bewitched by anyone, which is good.

Lu Yinzhao took out his phone and started typing.

[Zhao Zhao]: Sorry, I have plans with my third brother tomorrow, so you can go have fun by yourself, hahaha!

[Brother Aji]: Okay, have fun.

Lu Yinzhao pursed his lips when he saw this bland comment.

[Zhaozhao]: What are your plans for tomorrow? Do you have any other work to do?

[Brother Aji]: I'm resting at home. I haven't taken on any work during this period and will probably stay home most of the time.

Lu Yinzhao thought of Bian Ji being surrounded by stalkers today.

It would definitely be better to rest at home for a while. Bian Ji is currently very popular, so it's absolutely impossible for him to go out casually.

[Brother Aji]: Did Third Brother ask anything else?

Lu Yinzhao looked puzzled.

[Zhao Zhao]: That's my third brother, why are you calling him too? He just asked me to go out with him tomorrow, what else could I be asking?

[Brother Aji]: Okay, it's nothing. Go to sleep early. Good night.

Lu Yinzhao felt that Bian Ji today was like punching cotton, and he couldn't understand what he was saying.

Lu Yinzhao took off his outer pants and shirt, preparing to take a shower, when he looked down and saw Bian Ji's underwear, which was a size too big.

The scene that happened at Bian Ji's house before popped into my mind again.

The other person's fingertips had rough calluses that could make a person tremble all over; just recalling that kind of stimulation made his heart race.

Lu Yinzhao typed "Goodnight" into the message box, but didn't send it; she deleted it afterward.

Instead, I sent a voice message.

"Brother, you must be feeling pretty bad today too? I'll help you next time."

I sent a voice message, but there was no reply for a long time.

Lu Yinzhao chuckled to himself as he put down his phone and went into the bathroom.

On the other side.

Bian Ji's emotions, which he had managed to suppress, surged up again, and he even regretted not insisting that Lu Yinzhao stay overnight at his house today.

This guy did it on purpose...

You can still send him these voice messages with a smile now, but please don't cry when you actually have to fulfill your promise.

Bian Ji lay on the bed, raised his hand, and clenched it tightly.

Author's Note: Zhao Zhao: I played a game at Brother Aji's house. (A real-life version) [shy]

Aji: That was fun! I'll play again next time. [Okay]

Third Brother: You were gone for forty minutes? [Rolls eyes] (He figured he couldn't have done anything, so he felt relieved)
