Chapter 12. A small difference can lead to a huge error.
In order to answer Zhou Shilin's question, Zhou Mingye cleared his throat and said in a serious tone, "Of course! Yesterday I was being chased by fans at the themed restaurant, and she was the one who saved me. Sure enough, every time I meet a female knight-errant, she is always doing good deeds."
Zhou Shilin's gaze towards Zhou Mingye changed slightly again: "You two agreed to meet yesterday?"
"No, she seemed to be there to inspect the work." Zhou Mingye said, a hint of relief in his voice. "Fortunately, what happened yesterday didn't cause any commotion online, otherwise it might have implicated her."
When Zhou's mother heard them talking about girls, she felt like Columbus when he discovered the New World: "You really do encounter all sorts of things when you live long enough. You two brothers are even talking about girls."
Zhou Shilin and Zhou Mingye both fell silent.
Zhou Shilin has always been an iceberg since childhood. He had very few friends, let alone girls, and hardly any living beings around him. However, his elders weren't in a hurry back then, as his studies were the priority. But in the blink of an eye, he reached the age for trial marriage, and he didn't even have a girlfriend, let alone get married.
The elders finally started to get anxious, but Zhou Shilin was now the head of Shijie, and he always had a legitimate reason, saying he didn't have time to work.
Everything for Shijie.
Zhou Mingye's personality was different from his brother's. He was lively and active from a young age and had many friends. But later, for some unknown reason, he started to imitate his brother's cool demeanor, always wearing a stern face as if the whole world owed him money. After being ridiculed by Zhou Shilin a few times for his poor imitation, he finally stopped pretending, but then said that he wanted to enter the entertainment industry.
Idols in the entertainment industry are not allowed to date, so he found a legitimate reason to remain single, just like Zhou Shilin.
These two brothers have been talking about a girl for so long today; Zhou's mother is really curious about who this girl is.
"Mom, do you know that if you post this online, you'll get called a sex-obsessed person?" Zhou Mingye coughed and started rambling, "We were just talking about someone normally, it just so happens that she's a girl, don't think about it in that way."
"Is that so?" Zhou's mother raised an eyebrow and looked Zhou Mingye up and down. "Your brother may not have meant anything by it, but you might not."
"...No, why are you treating him differently? No matter how cold-hearted my brother is, he's still a man!"
Zhou's mother said, "He didn't shout with joy just because he received a toy."
Zhou Mingye: "..."
"This isn't an ordinary toy, no, this isn't a toy at all! It's a hidden version inside, you wouldn't understand!"
“I really don’t understand these things of yours.” Zhou’s mother stopped discussing toys with him. Anyway, over the years, Zhou Mingye’s room had so many of these things that it was almost overflowing. “Just tell me, what do you think of that girl?”
"..." How did things turn out like this? Wasn't he just showing off his surroundings to them?
He subconsciously looked at Zhou Shilin, who was standing outside the battle, watching him leisurely, looking like he was waiting to see a good show.
Zhou Mingye twitched the corners of his mouth, speaking as if an honest man had gone all out: "What's wrong? We're all very open and aboveboard, not as dirty as you think. The female knight-errant is certainly a good person, it's just... she seems to have a bad memory."
Zhou Shilin stood to the side with his arms crossed, looking at him: "What do you mean?"
Zhou Mingye said, "I clearly met her just the day before and we even added each other as friends, but she doesn't remember me after two days."
Zhou Shilin was silent for a moment before speaking, "Is it possible that you don't have a good memory of it?"
Zhou Mingye: "..."
He's the face of ASTRAL, how can he stand in the center position if he doesn't have any memorable features?
“My face is seven-tenths similar to yours. When you’re cursing me, think about whether you’re also insulting yourself,” Zhou Mingye said angrily, staring at him.
Zhou Shilin said without changing his expression, "A difference of a hair's breadth can lead to a huge error."
Zhou Mingye: "..."
Okay, okay, you're the most handsome, alright?!
"Alright, alright, I'll go call your dad. Dinner's ready." Zhou's mother stepped in at the right moment to smooth things over. Zhou Mingye put away his belongings and snorted as he passed Zhou Shilin.
Zhou Shilin has always ignored his childish behavior, and it's unknown whether his fans will still like him if they knew he was like this in private.
He thought the topic of porcelain would end there, but during dinner, his mother brought it up again with his father, clearly disapproving of the fact that neither of them were dating.
"But Mingye said that others have bad memories." Zhou's mother didn't miss this sentence and told Zhou's father everything.
Zhou Mingye did say those words, but now he was a little unhappy: "Although she has a bad memory, she is good at martial arts! You didn't see how she pinned down that scum Chi Yifei in the rest room with just one move! Besides, no one is perfect, and there is nothing perfect in this world."
Zhou Shilin, standing to the side: "..."
The image of the porcelain emoji automatically popped into his mind.
I'm actually thinking of sending it to Zhou Mingye.
After dinner, Zhou Shilin and Zhou Mingye left one after the other. They could have left together, but Zhou Mingye didn't want to go with Zhou Shilin and deliberately lingered for a while. Zhou Shilin ignored him and went home by himself.
After Zhou Mingye left, he called his assistant to pick him up. On the way back, he texted Chen Ci: "Heroine, I received the merchandise. I love it! Thank you!"
He also sent over the photos he had just taken. After receiving them, Chen Ci replied, "Great photos. [Thumbs up]"
Zhou Mingye: To thank you for your gift, I've decided to give you a set of our group's merchandise as well!
Chen Ci: "..."
Then there's no need for that.
However, Yang Shuang seems to really like ASTRAL, so I could try to get her a serving.
So Chen Ci accepted Da Zhou Mingye's kindness: "Okay, thank you. Could you give me a little more of that 'brief summary'?"
Zhou Mingye: ? ? ? ? You prefer a brief summary?
Zhou Mingye's resolve is crumbling again. The heroine's favorite isn't him, but Jian Shu?
Briefly describe your qualifications and abilities. :)
Chen Ci: Oh no, I have a colleague who likes him, and I want to give him to her.
Zhou Mingye: I see. Don't worry, I've got your problems covered.
Chen Ci: Wait, something's not right. She seems to like you too.
Zhou Mingye: It's perfectly normal for someone to like me. [smug]
Chen Ci hesitated, as if she wanted to say something but then stopped. It seemed like she liked the two of you as a couple.
This... is pretty normal, right?
Chenci: Anyway, thank you.
Zhou Mingye: You're welcome, we're friends! I'll treat you to a meal sometime~~
Shen Ci wouldn't dare go out to dinner with celebrities. If they were photographed by the media, they would say they were just ordinary friends, but no one would believe them.
Because that's what everyone says.
But as a well-mannered office worker, she wouldn't directly refuse and embarrass the other party.
Chenci: Thank you, I definitely will if I have the chance.
