Gu Bai crossed his legs: "Mind your own business. I'll talk, I'll talk every day."

Xu Zezhan suddenly laughed, his laughter chilling. Gu Bai felt a little flustered by his laughter and, not knowing what to say, simply changed the subject: "I need to find a beautiful, gentle, and well-educated woman to be my wife in the future."

Xu Zezhan scoffed, "Would they even look at you?"

Gu Bai immediately retorted, "Why don't you like him? The blind date my mom recently arranged for me is exactly like that. I have to go on a date with him this weekend. Maybe this time next year my mom will be holding her granddaughter."

He said this entirely because he was provoked by Xu Zezhan. Gu Bai just couldn't stand Xu Zezhan looking down on him. From childhood to adulthood, he hated Xu Zezhan's self-righteous attitude.

It made him seem very ignorant.

Xu Zezhan's expression was indifferent, his eyes revealing no emotion. He simply nodded upon hearing this: "Good luck."

Then he turned around and went back to his desk to continue looking at the tender documents.

Gu Bai was stunned. He had a feeling that something was wrong with Xu Zezhan, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.

Gu Bai felt inexplicably guilty: "Xu Zezhan, are you going to Nightclub tonight?"

"Um."

Gu Bai breathed a silent sigh of relief when he heard him agree.

He then put on a grinning face and said, "Xu Zezhan, how about you be my best man at my wedding?"

Xu Zezhan drew a long line with the tip of his pen, looked up at the carefree Gu Bai, and said with a smile, "Okay."

Gu Bai felt a chill run down his spine under Xu Zezhan's gaze. He rubbed his arms uncomfortably and complained, "You're so cold. Don't you even want to turn on the heating?"

Xu Zezhan said without looking up, "The remote control is on the coffee table, turn it on yourself."

"Oh." Gu Bai turned on the heater, then felt bored again. He propped his chin up and looked at Xu Zezhan: "Zhan, what kind of woman do you want to marry?"

Xu Zezhan raised his eyelids, his eyes cold: "I have no intention of marrying a woman."

"What?" His voice was mixed with the sound of the heater, and Gu Bai thought he had misheard.

Xu Zezhan repeated expressionlessly, "I'm gay. I like men, it's in my nature, so I don't plan to date women. Even if I get married, I will only marry a man. Do you understand?"

Xu Zezhan's words were like a bombshell that hit Gu Bai on the head, leaving him dizzy and with ringing ears.

Gu Bai stood there stunned, taking a long time to process this incredible information. He managed a weak smile and said, "Don't joke with me like that. It's not funny at all, really."

Xu Zezhan's voice sounded extremely ruthless: "Who told you I was joking with you, Gu Bai? If you don't want to be entangled with a gay man, then get lost."

Gu Bai was stunned for a long time, his expression growing increasingly grim. Finally, he stood up silently and said, "Well, I have something to do, so I'll be going now."

Xu Zezhan stared at Gu Bai's back, a hint of loneliness creeping into his eyes, and a faint smile slowly curled at the corner of his lips, as if he were mocking himself.
