After the dance class, students were leaving in groups of three or four, but Zhou Peiyu was looking at Wan Qiu.

Stared for a long while.

Wan Qiu seemed to have noticed that Zhou Peiyu had something to say, so he stood there and did not leave immediately.

When Yang Ze saw that Wan Qiu had not come out for a long time, he wanted to go over, but Chu Yigui suddenly stopped Yang Ze.

Zhou Peiyu thought for a long time, and finally said: "Wan Qiu, do you want to come to my house to play?"

"......?" Wan Qiu gradually opened his eyes wide, full of disbelief.

"Do you have anything to do later?" Zhou Peiyu asked.

"It's okay..." Wan Qiu murmured.

"So are you going or not?" Zhou Peiyu asked.

However, Wan Qiu's face gradually turned red and he lowered his head.

Zhou Peiyu was stunned by Wan Qiu's expression.

"But you're a girl."

Jiang Chengfeng said that men and women are different and should maintain a certain distance.

"......Ah." Zhou Peiyu suddenly realized that Wan Qiu was still a boy. Because she was too familiar with Wan Qiu, and because of Wan Qiu's IQ problem, she almost forgot about the differences between men and women.

"It should be okay. You're my dance partner. I always tell my parents about you."

Wan Qiu blinked.

His heart beat faster involuntarily.

Zhou Peiyu didn't know how to read people's expressions, so he didn't notice Wan Qiu's expression. He tilted his head and asked, "Are you going or not? If you are, I'll call home now."

Wan Qiu seemed particularly flustered because he was suddenly invited to a friend's house.

Although Zhou Peiyu had been to his home, Wan Qiu had never been to his friend's home.

Wan Qiu was looking forward to it very much.

"I... really want to go." Wan Qiu said.

Zhou Peiyu looked at Wan Qiu.

Wow... Wan Qiu actually said he really wanted to go.

Zhou Peiyu seldom heard Wan Qiu say what he wanted to do, but during this period of time he seemed to have gradually become clearer about what he wanted to do.

Although it was he who proposed it, Zhou Peiyu actually felt a little embarrassed when so much expectation was placed on him.

"Then why don't you come to my house this afternoon? And have dinner tonight?" Zhou Peiyu said, secretly glancing at the two people waiting not far away, "But your brother can't come."

Wan Qiu was stunned.

"I am friends with you, but not with your brother. We are not familiar with each other and it would be awkward to let them come."

Zhou Peiyu felt a little guilty. She was really attracted by Chu Yigui's looks, so of course she wanted to invite him home to show her parents this handsome guy.

It's painful, but I can't do that.

This time she still wanted Wan Qiu to see what an ordinary family was like.

She always felt that if she were him, she would feel suffocated if he kept staring at Wan Qiu without giving her any private space.

However, when Wan Qiu heard that Chu Yigui was not allowed to go with them, his gradually rising interest was suddenly poured with a bucket of cold water, cooling Wan Qiu down from head to toe.

Wan Qiu is always surrounded by family members. If there is no one around, his family members will be very worried.

Wan Qiu still remembers what happened before very clearly, and he doesn't want to see something like that happen again.

Even though everyone told him it was okay...

But Yang Ze at that time still left a very deep impression on Wan Qiu, and Wan Qiu didn't want to repeat that incident.

"Sorry, I can't go." Wan Qiu's lost expression was evident in his words.

"You..." Zhou Peiyu was very disappointed with Wan Qiu for not fighting for his own freedom. "Forget it, forget it. I'll go home and have a rest."

Zhou Peiyu was a little unhappy, but she also knew that her unhappiness was unreasonable.

She was angry because her well-intentioned invitation was rejected, but Wan Qiu really had no reason to accept her invitation.

Zhou Peiyu and Wan Qiu walked towards the door of the dance studio together, one in front and one behind.

Wan Qiu carefully observed Zhou Peiyu, who was mumbling to express his bad mood.

"What's wrong, brother?" Chu Yigui saw Wan Qiu coming out and noticed that Wan Qiu was in a strange mood the moment he put down his headphones.

Wan Qiu was like a child who had done something wrong unintentionally: "I made Zhou Peiyu angry."

Chu Yigui looked towards Zhou Peiyu.

"No, I'm not angry. Wan Qiu, don't talk nonsense! You make me sound petty!" Zhou Peiyu immediately turned around and yelled at Wan Qiu.

Chu Yigui asked patiently, "What's wrong?"

Zhou Peiyu turned his head away, refusing to admit that he was a little upset, and said, "I invited Wan Qiu to come to my house, but he refused."

"Why? Brother should really want to go." Chu Yigui knew very well how Wan Qiu would react to this matter.

Wan Qiu lowered his head, and under the pressure of his gaze, he finally answered slowly: "I can only go by myself."

Yang Ze noticed something and looked at Wan Qiu.

Chu Yigui and Yang Ze figured out the reason why Wan Qiu hesitated in an instant.

Yang frowned, obviously hesitant.

Chu Yigui observed Yang Ze and suddenly said, "Brother will go."

Wan Qiu suddenly looked up and looked at Chu Yigui, a little confused.

But the confusion is mixed with expectation and joy.

"I'm sorry, brother rejected you because of us. Please don't take it to heart." Chu Yigui apologized to Zhou Peiyu first.

How could Zhou Peiyu, who loves handsome guys so much, blame Chu Yigui? She waved her hands to show that she really didn't care at all.

Chu Yigui turned his head and said to Wan Qiu: "Brother, if you want to go, go ahead. We won't follow you. Just remember to wear the bracelet and don't take it off."

Chu Yigui's decision was obviously a bit arbitrary, but Yang Ze did not refuse.

Zhou Peiyu was a little surprised.

She thought that no one in the Chu family was willing to leave Wan Qiu alone.

Wan Qiu held the bracelet with his fingers, cherishing it in his palm, and promised Chu Yigui very solemnly: "I will never take it off."

Chu Yigui seemed to be amused by Wan Qiu's behavior and said to Wan Qiu: "We don't want to imprison brother, we just want to make sure he is safe. It doesn't matter if the bracelet is lost, and it's okay if the phone is not lost. Don't be too stressed."

Wan Qiu nodded.

Chu Yigui reminded: "If you want to come back at night, call your second brother and he will pick you up."

"Yeah." Wan Qiu responded.

Chu Yigui stood up and patted Wan Qiu on the back gently: "Brother, I'll wait for you at home."

Wan Qiu looked at Chu Yigui eagerly.

Nod.

Chu Yigui smiled under Wan Qiu's gaze: "Brother, have fun."

"Okay." Wan Qiu also smiled along with Chu Yigui, as if what had just been a discussion had turned into joy for the unknown at this moment.

Zhou Peiyu, who was watching from the side, thought the scene was very pleasing to the eyes, but for some reason he always felt like the younger brother was leading the older brother.

Wan Qiu changed his clothes and gave his dance costume and other things to Chu Yigui.

Yang stared at Wan Qiu for a long time, and saw Zhou Peiyu standing beside him, feeling frightened.

In the end, Yang Ze just gave Wan Qiu the milk and the sweet corn cup, and then put all the cash he had on him into Wan Qiu's bag.

Yang Ze looked at the backs of Wan Qiu and Zhou Peiyu as they got into the elevator together.

Until they disappeared completely.

Chu Yigui tilted his head to look at Yang Ze and said, "Second brother, will you be angry that I made the decision without authorization?"

Yang did not answer.

There was a sharp contrast between the bright sunlight in the day and the cold sleet weather that night, and the black and white formed a clear dividing line in Yang Ze's memory.

but……

Maybe it was because of that day that even though I was forced to explode, once I truly vented my emotions, I felt a little more relaxed.

"I'm not angry." Yang Ze said finally.

"Are you still worried?" Chu Yigui asked directly.

Yang Ze did not answer. His silence was enough to prove that he had not let go of his worry, but it also meant that he did not really want to imprison Wan Qiu.

Chu Yigui said: "Second brother, my brother will always be independent."

"I know." Yang Ze didn't really want to outline Wan Qiu's independent future, "I just think that Wan Qiu doesn't need to be independent."

"My brother is not trying to be independent now, he just wants to have his own life." Chu Yigui said.

Although Yang Ze's expression remained serious, it was gradually tinged with helplessness.

"Yes, I know. I worry too much." Yang Ze sighed, "Fourth brother, I am probably a very useless brother. I still need you to comfort me."

"No matter what age you are, you need to be understood." Chu Yigui smiled, "I just hope that Second Brother doesn't think I'm meddling in other people's business."

Yang Ze would also relax a little when facing Chu Yigui.

His intelligent younger brother can always infect the anxiety of those around him with the most peaceful attitude.

"Let me take you back." Yang Ze said.

"Then will the second brother come here to wait for the brother?" Chu Yigui directly exposed Yang Ze's thoughts.

This made Yang Ze feel a little embarrassed.

However, Chu Yigui smiled: "At least my second brother didn't stop my brother from going to his friend's house to play alone. This is already a great improvement."

Yang Ze felt that Chu Yigui was probably praising him.

Yang Ze couldn't help but say, "Fourth brother, sometimes I really feel that you don't match your age."

"Maybe it's a personality problem?" Chu Yigui did not deny it.

Yang said with emotion: "Sometimes I wonder what you will be like when you grow up. Have you ever thought about what you want to do in the future?"

Yang Ze was just asking casually. He and Chu Zhang already knew that they would inherit the assets of both their parents in the future.

But for Chu Yigui, the future is still a very confusing issue.

"No matter what you do in the future, at least your second brother will fully support you." Yang Ze has always liked Chu Yigui. Because of Chu Yigui's existence, he has room to breathe.

Chu Yigui suddenly said, "Probably becoming the secretary or assistant of the eldest or second brother."

Yang Ze was stunned: "Fourth brother, you are very good. Compared with assisting others, you are more suitable to create a world of your own."

Chu Yigui’s excellence was such that Yang Ze felt it would be a pity if it were buried.

However, Chu Yigui said: "I think I am very suitable for the job of secretary."

Yang was very surprised.

Chu Yigui has always been a child with a very clear opinion of himself. He can be described as self-aware. Why does he think that what he needs is a secretary job?

"Fourth brother, you still have a lot of time to think about it. Don't confine yourself to one position." Yang Ze said.

However, Chu Yigui laughed, and his laughter was very clear.

Yang Ze looked at it and seemed to vaguely see something that was different from before.

This was a strange thought, but it lingered in Yang Ze's mind.

"Whether before or now, I have been seriously considering this matter." Chu Yigui responded to Yang Ze.

Before and now?

Yang Ze grasped this word, meaning, has Chu Yigui had any changes in his state of mind?

Yang Ze vaguely remembered that suddenly a word popped into his mind.

--lively.

This word, which was once not suitable for Chu Yigui, seemed to appear in Chu Yigui's laughter.

——

Zhou Peiyu looked back from afar several times, and finally heaved a sigh of relief.

"Ah, your second brother looks really fierce. For a moment I thought he wanted to beat me to death."

Wan Qiu shook his head: "Second brother won't."

"That's exaggerated, exaggerated." Although Zhou Peiyu felt that Wan Qiu was tied up with a rope, it didn't seem as serious as he had imagined.

Is she overthinking it?

Zhou Peiyu looked at Wan Qiu with a small waist bag and suddenly asked, "Nowadays, everyone uses mobile phones to pay. Why are you still using cash?"

Wan Qiu's hand unconsciously stroked the small waist bag containing cash and said, "I can't."

"Then I'll teach you?"

Zhou Peiyu simply sat on the flower bed nearby. It was a dance class, so the class wouldn't end as late as school, so it didn't matter if they lingered outside a little longer.

"Nowadays, people pay with their mobile phones. If you carry cash with you all the time, it's easy for it to be stolen."

Wan Qiu thought of the stacks of money in his safe. He preferred to count them himself rather than using his mobile phone. It gave him a sense of security.

But if using a mobile phone would be less likely to be stolen, Wan Qiu chose a mobile phone.

Zhou Peiyu taught Wan Qiu step by step. When Wan Qiu was thinking about binding the card, he took out a card from his small bag.

Zhou Peiyu tried to bind the card and succeeded at once.

"Look, when you pay the bill, all you have to do is..."

Zhou Peiyu patiently taught Wan Qiu how to set the password, and Wan Qiu also learned patiently.

"Then scan this now and transfer a cent to me. If you succeed, you will get it."

Zhou Peiyu looked up at the handsome boy passing by, then looked down and saw Wan Qiu enter a six-digit amount and press transfer.

"Ah, no, what you entered is the password. The password is entered here." Zhou Peiyu reminded immediately.

Wan Qiu looked at the password input interface, and Zhou Peiyu looked up at the sky helplessly. However, such a large amount of money would not be transferred successfully. There would not be so much money in the card...

But suddenly thinking of the Chu family's rich wealth, Zhou Peiyu suddenly covered Wan Qiu's hand as he was entering the password.

"Let's try again." Zhou Peiyu had a strong premonition that the six-digit number in Wan Qiu's card could definitely be transferred successfully, so it was better not to let Wan Qiu make any rash moves.

Zhou Peiyu asked Wan Qiu to repeat the operation ten times, and after explaining it very clearly, he asked Wan Qiu to go to the convenience store.

The two of them chose drinks, and Wan Qiu held his phone to scan the code.

When Wan Qiu heard that the payment was successful through Didi, he stood in front of the counter holding his mobile phone, his eyes full of shock.

Zhou Peiyu laughed secretly on the side, looking at Wan Qiu whose eyes were wide open.

"You can also transfer money to others. For example, on Valentine's Day, you would transfer 520 to express "I love you", 1314 to express "forever", 666, 888, etc. You can send money as a gift from a faraway place. Isn't it interesting?"

Zhou Peiyu was delighted and explained to Wan Qiu the benefits of mobile phone payment.

Wan Qiu was listening at the side and trying hard to learn how to use the various functions of the mobile phone.

Zhou Peiyu had to take the bus to go home, but maybe because she was in a good mood today, they walked back together.

Zhou Peiyu's home is three or four bus stops away from the dance studio, passing by a small square.

Wan Qiu saw many people playing and dancing in the square.

"My mother would come here to dance when she was bored at night," Zhou Peiyu and Wan Qiu said. "I taught my mother how to dance. I taught her and then she went to the square to teach others, and she was also taught by others."

Wan Qiu blinked and said, "My mother is also a good dancer, and other people at home will practice dancing with me."

"Your family has all learned that, right?" Zhou Peiyu said.

Wan Qiu nodded.

"My mom is just practicing blindly." Zhou Peiyu shrugged, "She doesn't dance well, just a little better than the old men and women in the square."

Wan Qiu looked at Zhou Peiyu. Although his words did not sound like praise, the occasional bubbles of joy that appeared on Zhou Peiyu's body while he was speaking still attracted Wan Qiu.

"The candied cake here is delicious. Wait for me to buy a box and we can share it."

"I really like this ice cream too. I'll buy one and we can share it... Forget it, buy two!"

"I like this cheese chicken steak the most! We each got half!"

…

Wan Qiu had more and more food in his hands, and he ate the ice cream first.

It’s really delicious.

Wan Qiu felt that Zhou Peiyu seemed too happy.

Under Wan Qiu's puzzled and curious gaze, Zhou Peiyu finally couldn't help but chuckle twice.

"Usually my mom doesn't let me eat too much, saying it will make me fat and affect my figure. I finally brought my friends home, she can't accuse me of eating snacks in front of my friends, right?"

Zhou Peiyu had his own plans.

"Can I not listen to my mother?" In Wan Qiu's opinion, even now, he basically treats Yang Xiaoyu's words as orders.

"It's not like she did anything bad, and can you guarantee that everything your mother does is right?" Zhou Peiyu curled her lips.

Although Wan Qiu felt that this was not a good way of doing things, Zhou Peiyu was really happy now.

It was just like the small windmill tied to a bicycle that Wan Qiu had seen on the roadside, spinning in the wind and creating the shadow of a very beautiful flower.

Zhou Peiyu's home is in a residential area, which is also a high-rise building, but Zhou Peiyu lives in a seven-story building among the high-rise buildings.

The small building has one floor per household, which leads directly to Zhou Peiyu's door.

At this moment, a sweet fragrance was coming out from the open door.

"Mom, I'm back!"

Wan Qiu heard Zhou Peiyu shouting very loudly into the house, and he casually threw his backpack onto the sofa.

Wan Qiu was standing at the door. When he saw Zhou Peiyu, he kicked a pair of slippers in front of him and said, "You wear these."

This is Wan Qiu's first time visiting a friend's house.

Now my heart is about to jump out of my chest due to nervousness.

Zhou Peiyu's home is of similar size to the house where Wan Qiuchu Yigui currently lives near the school, but the decoration styles are completely different.

Not far away there is a photo wall displaying wedding photos.

The bright orange soft sofa also comes with some dirt-resistant cushions and sofa covers.

On the wall hung the dishevelled coats of a family of three.

There are cabinets everywhere, and there are a lot of flowers on the balcony.

Wan Qiu looked at it and deeply felt that he was in a completely new space.

In these slightly messy furnishings and decorations, one can see the noisy atmosphere of life clamoring for its existence.

"Mom, where's Dad?" Zhou Peiyu asked.

"Your dad went out to buy some vegetables and hasn't come back yet." A bright female voice came from the kitchen, and then Wan Qiu saw Zhou Peiyu's mother coming out.

Mother Zhou and Yang Xiaoyu are completely different types of women. She looks older, but still has a slim figure. She has no makeup on and is very plain. She wears an apron and smiles at Wan Qiu.

"Come on, come in and sit down. Auntie heard you were coming and prepared some snacks. They will be ready soon."

Mother Zhou greeted Wan Qiu kindly, but Wan Qiu sat stiffly on the sofa.

"Don't sit here, come to my room." Zhou Peiyu said and directly grabbed Wan Qiu's arm, making Wan Qiu, who had just sat down, stand up again.

Hearing this, Zhou's mother simply said, "Don't close the door."

"I know, I know." Zhou Peiyu's tone was full of impatience, which made Wan Qiu's eyes widen.

Wan Qiu was pulled into Zhou Peiyu's bedroom without any preparation, and his whole body became stiff.

Zhou Peiyu didn't think there was anything wrong with it and gave Wan Qiu a swivel chair, and Wan Qiu sat quietly on it.

Wan Qiu subconsciously observed the surrounding environment.

Zhou Peiyu's room is very bright and the overall tone is warm.

Although it is a bit messy, you can see all kinds of beautiful things that look like decorations everywhere.

The feeling here...

It was like the boutique that Wan Qiu had visited with Fu Zhengyu before, there were many things there that he had never even seen before.

"Look!" Suddenly a long roll appeared in front of Wan Qiu, and Zhou Peiyu spread those things on the bed.

Wan Qiu’s first reaction was that this should be a poster.

After seeing the person on it, Wan Qiu realized that this was his eldest brother's poster.

"I'm a big fan of Chu Zhang. I bought a lot of his stuff!"

As he spoke, Zhou Peiyu displayed a large pile of things with Chu Zhang's portrait in front of Wan Qiu.

Wan Qiu blinked and watched Zhou Peiyu take out a box of brooches: "I made these myself!"

Wan Qiu was very surprised, looking at those beautiful brooches of various shapes.

“I also have a notebook to make!”

Zhou Peiyu showed Wan Qiu quite a lot of things, which dazzled Wan Qiu.

Zhou Peiyu also makes some things by herself, which look very beautiful.

"How about it, am I awesome?" Zhou Peiyu looked at the trophies that filled the entire bed and said to Wan Qiu proudly, "I put a lot of effort into this!"

Wan Qiu indeed felt that it was amazing.

These delicate and beautiful things made Wanqiu see his love.

"Chu Zhang's autograph is very hard to get. I had the one you gave me framed!"

As he spoke, Zhou Peiyu directly handed a photo frame to Wan Qiu.

Wan Qiu felt very awkward as he looked at the perfect and flawless Chu Zhang and the domineering signature on it.

He likes Big Brother too.

But for some reason, he felt that his love for his elder brother was surpassed by Zhou Peiyu.

If he had the chance, he would also like to spend more time with his elder brother and get to know him better.
