Yang Xiaoyin ran to Su Liuyuan, raised the flowers in her hand, and said bluntly:

"Su Liuyuan, I like you, can you be my boyfriend?"

Su Liuyuan subconsciously shook his head and refused, unable to understand:

"We've only known each other for less than half a month. What do you like about me?"

"You are good-looking, in my opinion." Yang Xiaoyin answered frankly:

"If you're rejecting me because you're moving too fast, I can wait until you get to know me better."

"Sorry, Xiaoyin, I don't have any feelings for you." Su Liuyuan told the truth.

Hearing this, Yang Xiaoyin was only disappointed for a moment, but soon smiled again, confident and generous.

"No need to apologize. Relationships are based on mutual consent. If you don't like me, I won't pester you. We can still be colleagues."

"Congratulations on getting third place."

Yang Xiaoyin gave the flowers to Su Liuyuan and left.

Confess your feelings decisively and give up easily.

So much so that Su Liuyuan was still confused.

After Yang Xiaoyin left, Jiang Fei, Lu Yu, and Xu Qianyao went through the audience area.

Xu Qianyao joked, "Liuyuan, you're quite capable."

"As soon as I joined the Military Industry Department, I was already liked by the girl."

"But that girl has a really good personality. She can handle things easily and doesn't drag her feet at all."

Xiao Chuxia also teased Su Liuyuan: "Who said yesterday that Yang Xiaoyin didn't like him?"

"It's only been one night, and you've already been slapped in the face."

Su Liuyuan was helpless: "I didn't expect she would like me."

"After all, she's nice to everyone."

Ling Zhaorui, who had been silent, suddenly spoke.

"Then you usually pay a lot of attention to her."

Hearing Ling Zhaorui's seemingly sarcastic words, everyone looked at him in confusion.

After realizing what he had just said, Ling Zhaorui lowered his head unnaturally:

"I'll go get the rice into the car."

After saying this, Ling Zhaorui picked up the bag of rice given to him by the staff and left.

Xiao Chuxia blinked: "Why do I feel that Zhao Rui is a little strange?"

"He never used to speak in that tone."

"Maybe it's because he doesn't have any girls chasing him, and he envies his brother and me for my looks."

Su Liuyuan spoke arrogantly, earning several people's disdain.

After the shrimp fishing competition ended, Xu Qianyao drove Jiang Fei and the other four home.

"Chuxia, Liuyuan, Zhaorui, to celebrate your achievements, we'll have grilled fish for lunch today."

Jiang Fei stopped Xu Qianyao: "Tell grandma not to cook lunch."

"When I'm done, I'll ask you to come to Room 102 to eat."

"Okay." Xu Qianyao went to park the car behind the building.

"Jiang Jie, my stomach is upset. I'm going home to make some porridge and won't eat with you."

"I got up too early today and I'm too sleepy to open my eyes."

Ling Zhaorui pretended to yawn and went upstairs.

Lu Yu thought for a moment and whispered to Jiang Fei, "I'll go talk to Zhao Rui and ask him what's wrong."

"The meal is ready, you guys eat first."

Jiang Fei nodded and took Xiao Chuxia and Su Liuyuan back to Room 102.

The two of them played with Dahuang, Xiaohei and Xiaohui, and she went to the kitchen to get a grouper from the supermarket.

Grouper has relatively few bones and its meat is tender and firm, making it very suitable for roasting.

After cleaning the grouper, Jiang Fei used a kitchen knife to cut it in half.

Since the chatterbox and Grandma Xu can't eat spicy food, I made non-spicy sauce-flavored food for them and spicy food for the other half.

Jiang Fei was busy downstairs.

Upstairs, room 202.

Lu Yu sat on the sofa.

Ling Zhaorui sat opposite him, holding a half-drunk beer in his hand.

"Brother Lu, to be honest, I don't understand what happened to me these past two days."

"Ever since Yang Xiaoyin showed up last night, I've felt uncomfortable all over, as if she was trying to separate me and my brothers."

"You all know that Liu Yuan and I have been living together, eating and sleeping together for the past few years unless there are special circumstances."

"Even during those months when he injured his leg in Kyoto, we bathed together."

"Today, Yang Xiaoyin confessed her love to Liu Yuan, and I felt like there was a stone blocking my heart, making it hard to breathe. That's why I blurted out those words."

Lu Yu's brows gradually furrowed.

Zhao Rui's current mood...

Why did he feel the same as when he overheard Mu Qingzhou and Feifei's confession?

Thinking of a possibility, Lu Yu's breath stopped.

After a moment, he asked tactfully.

"In your heart, do you regard Liu Yuan as a brother, or someone you can spend your life with?"

Ling Zhaorui was stunned.

She finally understood what Lu Yu meant and her cheeks flushed red.

I wanted to argue, but the image of him and Liu Yuan holding hands, and...even more intimate scenes, unconsciously emerged in my mind.

Snap——!

The beer can fell to the ground, and Ling Zhaorui fell off the chair, his eyes dull.

"It's over, Brother Lu... The brotherhood between Liu Yuan and I has soured..."

When did this go bad?!

Unable to accept that he was gay, Ling Zhaorui was close to collapse.

Lu Yu stood up tactfully and patted his shoulder:

"Calm down."

"Don't worry, I won't tell Liuyuan about this, but I will tell Feifei so that she won't worry about you."

"Thank you, Brother Lu..."

—

When Lu Yu opened the door of Room 102, he smelled the aroma of grilled fish.

Jiang Fei had just finished grilling the fish and was serving rice to Xu Qianyao and the others.

"How is Zhao Rui?"

"Just a stomach upset, now I'm asleep."

Because there were other people around, Lu Yu didn't tell the truth and sat down to eat first.
