Chapter 168 Zhaozhao is my lover
Yin Song winked at him from the side and then poked Lu Wenyan hard a few times from below.
"Let's eat and not talk about these things. It puts pressure on the child."
Lu Wenyan nodded and said, "Yes, yes, I was just asking casually, Xiao Ji, don't mind."
“It’s alright, Uncle Lu. I know you’re concerned about me, and…” Bian Ji looked up and said frankly, “There’s nothing I can’t say.”
"Really? Then you..."
"I do have someone I'm currently dating."
Bian Ji's words were like a bombshell, exploding in everyone's ears.
"Cough cough cough!" Lu Yinzhao choked on the soup and coughed incessantly.
Bian Ji quickly patted his back to help him catch his breath and said with concern, "Drink your soup slowly."
"Xiao Ji, you're amazing! If you hadn't come to our house today and my dad hadn't asked about it, we wouldn't have known you were dating."
The most surprised person was Lu Cheng.
Since he added Bian Ji on WeChat, he felt that his relationship with her had returned to what it used to be, and the intimacy was even stronger.
When he first approached Bian Ji to inquire about the men around Lu Yinzhao, the latter didn't mention a word about his own situation.
There have been absolutely no rumors circulating about them.
This kid... he's really good at keeping things secret.
"Congratulations! You're still young, it's time to enjoy your love life," Lu Qi said with a smile.
Lu Xun was happy for him and asked curiously, "Is he an artist in the industry?"
Bian Ji shook his head: "No."
“A non-celebrity? You should keep that a secret. Zhao Zhao just told us that you were surrounded by sasaeng fans today. If your girlfriend fans find out you're in a relationship, they might unfollow you and turn against you, which would be the least of their worries. You need to protect your partner.” Lu Cheng said.
Lu Xun also agreed: "We can stabilize things first, and then make an official announcement when our careers reach a certain point in time."
Bian Ji nodded in response, "Yes, I know."
"Come on! Xiao Ji, have a drink with your uncle!" Lu Wenyan was overjoyed today and raised his glass to clink glasses with Bian Ji.
Bian Ji politely offered a toast and downed it in one gulp.
"Not bad, not bad, you can really drink too." Lu Wenyan laughed heartily.
Lu Yinzhao was getting a little anxious and secretly tugged at Bian Ji's clothes under the table. "Don't drink like that, you'll get drunk easily, and you can't hold your liquor."
He knew his father's drinking capacity was about the same as his own.
Based on Bian Ji's previous drunken state, Lu Yinzhao was certain that the other party wouldn't last more than half an hour before his father knocked him down on the table.
"It's okay, I took some hangover medicine before I came."
“You…” Lu Yinzhao’s eyes widened in surprise.
Bian Ji actually foresaw this?
It seems Bian Ji came prepared; this is really starting to feel like meeting the parents.
While everyone else was chatting and laughing, Lu Yuan was the only one at the dinner table eating quietly.
His eyes were very sharp, and he would occasionally look up and stare at the two people opposite him who were being intimate.
If it wasn't certain at first, then after Bian Ji admitted it, Lu Yuan had already reached a complete conclusion in his heart.
I really didn't expect...this would happen.
Even though she had taken the medicine beforehand, Bian Ji's cheeks still flushed slightly in the end.
"Alright, Dad, let's stop here. You know, Brother Ji is a singer, and he needs to take good care of his voice. Drinking too much is not good for him."
In the end, Lu Yinzhao stepped in to stop it.
This act of protection made Lu Yuan's eye twitch violently.
Zhao Zhao, your third brother is also a singer, why haven't I seen you defending me?
I spoiled you rotten when you were little!
This kid hasn't even gotten the whole family's approval yet, and Zhao Zhao is already protecting him. Lu Yuan can't imagine what will happen in the future.
Lu Yuan downed a glass of wine in one gulp, his heart burning like fire.
You can guard against anything, but you can't guard against your neighbors!
Even rabbits don't eat the grass near their burrows! This kid actually laid a hand on his younger brother, whom he grew up with!
Lu Yuan felt inexplicably annoyed and poured himself another glass.
Lu Qi noticed something was wrong with Lu Yuan. "What's wrong with you today? Why have you been drinking alone all day?"
"..." Lu Yuan was depressed and didn't want to say anything.
"Hey bro, are you feeling down because everyone's in couples?" Lu Qi patted Lu Yuan on the shoulder. "Hey! It's okay, I'll keep an eye out for you and find you a good match. Don't worry."
“…” Lu Yuan rolled his eyes inwardly.
He's not single, okay?
Perhaps because I hid it so well, no one in my family noticed or asked.
Thinking of his awful partner, Lu Yuan grumbled and drank another glass.
In the end.
Of everyone at the table, only Bian Ji and Lu Yuan seemed to be drunk.
Although the Lu family members were good drinkers, they couldn't resist Lu Yuan's ability to drink like water.
The palpitations were just a simple symptom; taking medicine beforehand wouldn't have helped.
However, the two still retain some consciousness; they can walk and recognize people, though their reactions are somewhat slow.
"Bian Ji, come here for a moment, I have something to say to you alone."
Bian Ji looked over with blurry, drunken eyes and let out a long "Oh".
"Third Brother, what do you want with Brother Aji? You two are both drunk, so stop chatting and go get some rest."
"Zhao Zhao, you... excuse yourself for a moment. This is between him and me." Lu Yuan said slowly, then walked directly to the back of the courtyard outside the door.
Bian Ji turned around and patted Lu Yinzhao's head. "It's nothing serious. Your brother probably wants to talk to me about music composition. I'll be right back."
Bian Ji followed closely behind Lu Yuan and walked outside.
The two arrived at a step at the back of the courtyard. Lu Yuan leaned against the wooden railing, his breath steaming in the cold wind.
Bian Ji felt a little clearer-headed under the stimulation of the air conditioning, and was no longer as dizzy as he had been indoors.
His legs were weak, and he plopped down on the steps, exhaling several breaths of hot air.
The two stood there in the wind, neither of them speaking first.
"you……"
"I……"
When it came time to speak, they uttered only one word at a time.
Bian Ji paused: "Brother Lu Yuan, you go first."
"You should know what I called you here to say, right?" Lu Yuan glared at him.
"Yeah, Brother Lu Yuan, you've figured it out, haven't you? About me and Zhao Zhao..."
“I watched you and Zhaozhao grow up. Compared to those shady people outside who kidnapped Zhaozhao, if it were you… I could accept it a little more.” Lu Yuan finished speaking and laughed at himself.
Perhaps because he knew Bian Ji inside and out, he was only a little unhappy for a moment when he learned about the matter. Now that the other party was standing in front of him, his attitude gradually calmed down.
“My feelings for Zhao Zhao are genuine. Being with him makes me feel like my world is full of life. Without him, I might not have become a singer or entered the entertainment industry. Many of my songs are inspired by him.”
"..."
"I didn't understand what kind of feelings I had before. I just wanted to see his face and hear him chattering in my ear. Maybe our fate was already connected long ago, but I just realized it late."
"..."
"But it's not too late now. I have no regrets about being able to walk hand in hand with him through this life. I know how much you value Zhaozhao, you can rest assured about that. He used to be my younger brother, but now..."
"Zhaozhao is my lover."
This was the first time Lu Yuan had heard Bian Ji speak so frankly and sincerely to him.
He could sense the sincerity in the other person's words, and his previous worries and anxieties lessened somewhat.
He said sternly and coldly, "Since you have made up your mind, you must keep your promise. If you ever dare to treat my brother badly, I will break you up even if it means separating you two."
Lu Yuan spoke harshly, but Bian Ji smiled with relief, "Okay, Third Brother, I will always be good to Zhao Zhao and give him everything he wants. Unless he kicks me away, I will not leave him."
Lu Yuan then plopped down on the steps, which were so cold that he couldn't help but shiver.
He punched Bian Ji in the shoulder; the force wasn't particularly strong, but it wasn't light either.
"Okay, I believe you." Lu Yuan slowly uttered these words, "If we're together, then let's make it work."
"Yes, absolutely."
In the darkness, the cold wind turned two drunken men into idiots.
It was Lu Yinzhao who, worried, ran out to check and discovered that both of their lips were white from the cold.
"Third Brother, Brother Aji, what are you two talking about that has to be in this cold wind? Didn't you have enough wine at home? Are you coming out to starve?"
Lu Yinzhao was speechless, his face full of black lines.
"Zhao Zhao, come help me, my leg... my leg is cramping." Lu Yuan frowned, his expression somewhat unpleasant.
"Zhao Zhao, I can't move much either." Bian Ji's hands and legs were frozen.
Lu Yinzhao lifted the two men's arms on either side and placed them on his neck, then lifted them up with force.
He muttered to himself, "What a pair of drunken lunatics..."
"If I ever let you drink this much again, I'll change my surname." These words were spoken in Bian Ji's ear, with a fierce tone.
But what Bian Ji heard was a cute and fierce tone, which was very adorable.
He couldn't help but laugh, a very happy laugh, and right in front of Lu Yuan, he turned his head and kissed Lu Yinzhao on the cheek.
"!!!" Lu Yinzhao's heart almost stopped in fright. He quickly glanced at his third brother on the other side and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the other brother did not seem to have noticed.
He reached out and pinched Bian Ji's arm, trying to lower his voice: "Stop acting crazy when you're drunk! Behave yourself, okay?"
Bian Ji's lips curled up even higher; now he was the one being persuaded by Zhao Zhao to "behave himself."
Lu Yuan tried his best to close his ears, blocking out the sounds he heard because of his superhuman hearing.
I regret not punching him hard enough; I shouldn't have agreed to their relationship so easily.
Bian Ji is such a brat, he takes advantage of every little bit of kindness he gets, he's really pushing his luck!
His older brother is still alive, and he started flirting with his younger brother right in front of him!
Can you at least try to avoid flirting with him a little more?
Back inside, Lu Yuan didn't want to stay a moment longer. He went straight to his room and slammed the door shut.
The loud slam of the door drew the attention of everyone around.
"What's wrong with Lu Laosan today? Is he acting crazy?" Lu Cheng was sitting on the sofa playing games when he was startled by the sudden voice.
Lu Qi, who was standing next to him, whispered, "Say less. Think about it, he's the only bachelor in the whole family now. How can he be in a good mood?"
Lu Cheng suddenly realized, and then laughed triumphantly.
Suddenly, Gu Yanqing seemed much more pleasing to the eye. If it weren't for his appearance, he would be among the single men today.
Fine, I'll remove Gu Yanqing from the blacklist for a little while tonight.
