His hobbies
When Zhuang Yu'an arrived home, his sister was practicing her swing and footwork in the living room. Seeing him come back, she put down her racket and came to greet him.
He handed over the paper bag: "I brought handmade chocolates and snacks, do you want to try them now?"
"Let's eat it tomorrow. I'll put it in the refrigerator first!" She ran to the kitchen quickly, put the things away, and brought out a glass of ice water and another bag.
"Brother, please sit down and take a look at the souvenirs we bought in Tianjin. They are so interesting!"
"I saw your Moments post and bought quite a few." Zhuang Yu'an sat down on the sofa. "Did you have fun?"
"So happy!" Zhuang Jinghao took out a bunch of gadgets from the bag and spread them out on the coffee table one by one.
"Luffy didn't seem to go?"
"Brother Luffy is going back to Shanxi for the weekend. Besides, it wouldn't be convenient for our girlfriends to have him around."
As she spoke, she picked up a pair of tiny clay figurines and placed them in her palms: a boy and a girl. The girl, wearing a flowery jacket, had a smile on her face, her black hair tied in a small braid with a red string.
"This is for you!" She poked the figurine with her finger and said with a smile, "This is you, and this is Si Rui. I wish you two will get married soon!"
Zhuang Yu'an's smile froze slightly, and he reached out to take the clay sculpture: "Thank you."
Then she showed him other things: mugs, refrigerator magnets, small fans—all cultural and creative products, things he absolutely would never buy. He never understood why young girls were so obsessed with these little things, as if going to a place without buying some souvenirs was a wasted trip.
"I'll give this to you too!" Zhuang Jing excitedly picked up a refrigerator magnet in the shape of a traditional plaque and put it in her brother's hand.
Zhuang Yu'an took a look and smiled slightly: "Well, he likes everything my sister bought. I'll put it on the refrigerator later."
"This is a gift from Zuo Xiao!" she said with a smile.
Zhuang Yu'an's pupils trembled, and he looked down at the little thing in his hand: a square blue horizontal plaque with the words "Family of Supporting Actors" written from right to left, and inlaid with carved gold frames on all four sides, it had a royal style.
His breathing became disordered, and his heart was in turmoil. Zhuang Yu'an was silent for a long time, and when he spoke, his voice was slightly dry: "Why did she suddenly give me this?"
Hehe, you understood it that way, I didn't say it... Zhuang Jing smiled slyly: "Maybe I just hope you are happy and smiling."
After saying that, she pursed her lips and stared at her brother's face.
Wow, there is light in his eyes, as if he is a little touched!
"Brother, Zuo Xiao actually has a good impression of you." Out of kindness, she made a harmless twist to the facts. "She thinks you're steady and reliable, but you're just not very good at expressing your feelings... Plus, when I told her about your rescue of stray animals and your donations to children in impoverished areas, she was surprised. She didn't expect you to be so kind!"
Zhuang Yu'an was stunned for a moment, then hesitantly said, "Did she...really say that?"
"Really? Why would I lie to you?"
Zhuang Yu'an frowned slightly: "Why do I feel...she must hate me."
"How could that be!" Zhuang Jinghao quickly explained, "Although there were some misunderstandings between you two before, she doesn't actually dislike you. It's just that she feels that you don't really like her, so she doesn't dare to approach you... Brother, don't be so serious! She's a very good person, I really hope you can become friends!"
Zhuang Yu'an closed his palms and grasped the refrigerator magnet in his palms. After a while, he said, "Okay, I understand."
Zhuang Jinghao mentally gave a "yeah" and tentatively asked, "We're playing badminton on Wednesday. Do you want to come? You can also invite Si Rui!"
Zhuang Yuan paused and said, "Don't make any more appointments with Si Rui. She and I...are not suitable."
Zhuang Jinghao was shocked and blurted out, "What's the matter? Aren't you guys doing fine?"
"She's a good person. It's my fault." Zhuang Yu'an said solemnly, "I don't have any feelings for her in that way. I can't delay her. From now on, please don't match us up anymore, okay?"
"Ah, this..." Zhuang Jinghao was a little panicked by her brother's words. She blurted out all the reasons she could think of to dissuade him. "I think it can be cultivated slowly. Many happy relationships are not love at first sight, but love that grows over time... You can start by being friends and take it slow..."
"Let's talk about it later." Zhuang Yu'an stood up. "I'm a little tired. I'm going to take a shower first. You should go to bed early too."
Seeing her brother's happy marriage take a sharp turn for the worse, Zhuang Jing was so anxious that she didn't even bother to pick up the travel souvenirs spread out on the coffee table and hurried upstairs -
She needs help!
In the dim room, the candlelight flickered slightly. The red candle tilted, and a drop of wax dripped onto the skin, triggering a series of satisfied sighs.
"Is that enough?" Zuo Xiao blew out the candle impatiently and saw a wisp of white smoke rising in the suddenly dim light.
Turning on the bedside lamp, I saw Luffy with his lips curled up and his eyes narrowed, looking unsatisfied.
"Baby, you're so good..." His voice was hoarse as if it had been polished by sandpaper, and his body was covered with red marks, spreading from his chest and abdomen to his thighs. Halfway through, he wanted her to drip the wax on a more vulnerable part of his body, but she ruthlessly refused.
This pervert!
Fortunately, he only asked her to torture him, not the other way around. Zuo Xiao threw the candle aside: "Is this how you used to play? Are you really from the Alphabet Club?"
"This is the first time." Luffy reached out and grabbed her arm, pulled her into his arms, and bit her ear. "I gave you my precious first time."
"I don't care." Zuo Xiao pushed him away. "If you want to play, go find someone else. I'm not into that."
Luffy chuckled, "This is a low-temperature candle, it won't burn you. If you don't believe me, you can try it on your hand."
Zuo Xiao sneered: "You feel so good if it's not hot?"
At this moment, the phone rang. She stood up and picked up the phone from the bedside table.
"Something terrible has happened, Master!"
Oh my god, that's such a loud voice... Zuo Xiao held the phone a little further away: "Did the US go to war? Or was your brother □□ arrested?"
"...I don't have a brother I like! It's my brother!"
"Your brother was arrested?"
"No! Hey, it's my brother who said he has no feelings for Si Rui and doesn't want to date her anymore!"
"Oh." Zuo Xiao was not surprised at all. "I said he was emotionally dull and destined to be a widower in this life."
At this moment, a hand reached out and circled her waist. Zuo Xiao reached out to pry it away, but he held her tighter. Unexpectedly, her earlobe was sucked, and Zuo Xiao screamed, "Ah!" and instinctively slapped him.
“Bang!”
There was a loud thud, and Luffy's head was knocked sideways. When he turned back, his eyes were shining with excitement.
On the other end of the phone, Zhuang Jinghao was quiet for a while, then hesitantly asked, "What are you doing?"
Zuo Xiao glared at Luffy and moved to the end of the bed: "Anything else?"
"No……"
"Then I'll hang up first. We'll talk about your brother tomorrow."
Just after hanging up the phone, seeing Luffy approaching, Zuo Xiao got angry and kicked him in the face.
Oh no! The man who got kicked wasn't angry at all, but instead seemed even more excited. What was going on? Zuo Xiao looked at Luffy's intoxicated expression and finally realized that something was wrong.
She quickly jumped out of bed and turned on all the lights, as if this would expose any perverts in the house.
"Put on your clothes and go to the living room." He gave orders while putting on his pants.
She walked out of the room first, took a can of ginger ale from the refrigerator, and sat on the sofa. A moment later, Luffy, wearing human skin, came over and was ordered by her to sit on the chair opposite.
"We need to have a good chat." She crossed her arms and said seriously, "First, let's talk about your sexual quirk. What's going on?"
Luffy looked at her calmly, "What exactly do you mean?"
"You like being grabbed and bitten; you like having candles dripped on you; you like being slapped and kicked in the face..." She concluded, "You're a masochist, right?"
Luffy raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "It's not that exaggerated, it's just a little fun."
Zuo Xiao looked at him with a sharp gaze: "Well, this is a small pleasure... then what is a big pleasure? Whipping you with a whip, or wrapping your face with plastic wrap?"
"Baby, you seem to know more than me." Luffy chuckled and raised three fingers. "I swear, I never thought of using a whip or plastic wrap."
"So what do you want to use?"
"...It's just a candle. Maybe a pair of handcuffs? It's not important... If you don't like it, don't play it anymore."
Zuo Xiao was skeptical about his words and nodded reluctantly: "I respect it, but I don't like it and don't want to cooperate."
"Sorry..." Luffy's expression was strangely sincere, and he looked as if he was really sorry. "I thought you didn't mind these things, and even liked them."
Zuo Xiao was stunned: "Which eye of yours could tell what I like?"
Luffy hesitated for a moment and said, "When you punished Zhou Zhihui, you showed that you were very good at dominating and manipulating him, and he seemed to enjoy it. I think this is probably how you used to get along. You often scolded and beat him, right?"
Damn it, Luffy was right! Zuo Xiao was stunned, many fragments flashing through his mind.
For example, one time, Zhou Zhihui asked her to call him dad when they were being intimate, which made her so angry that she kicked him on the spot, letting him know that he could only choose between being a father and protecting his younger brother.
Another time, Zhou Zhihui mistook her boss, who was dressed in an androgynous style and holding her arm, for her "adulterer." Without asking any questions, she rushed over and punched him. Furious, she ordered a feather duster that night and beat him up, leaving him with a bruised butt.
Another time, Zhou Zhihui said he'd take her to a villa hotel. Turns out, the villa was his home, and she mistakenly thought the uncle and aunt who'd gone to the wrong place were his parents. It was outrageous! The boy knew he was in the wrong, so when he got home, he sank to his knees with his butt raised high.
The last time was at a karaoke bar. Zhou Zhihui was drunk and boasting to his friends, "My wife only looks quiet, but once she takes off her clothes, she's a passionate little wildcat. I'm so excited I want to have sex with her for three days and three nights." She was so enraged that she grabbed whatever she could get her hands on and beat him up, leaving him with a black eye and swollen face. No one could stop her. After sobering up, the bastard knelt outside the door for a day and a night before breaking up...
She and Zhou Zhihui were indeed willing to fight and be beaten. But she didn't beat him up out of a desire for pleasure. Rather, that idiot often said and did stupid things, so didn't he deserve to be punished? Moreover, many times she didn't initiate the beating, but rather he kindly invited her to do so!
"You're mistaken." Zuo Xiao said firmly, "I just hate stupidity, I'm not a sadist."
"Oh, I misunderstood." Luffy smiled calmly.
Zuo Xiao was upset and decided to clear things up with him today. She took a sip of her drink and said, "You're saying you didn't like this originally, but because you thought I liked it, you started trying all this messed up stuff just to keep up with me?"
Luffy smiled: "Anyway, I've never played like this before."
Zuo Xiao was silent. He then continued, "Let's not dwell on the reasons, okay? I promise I won't force you to do anything you don't like."
"Remember what you said today." Zuo Xiao stood up, "I want to go home."
The next day, Luffy convened a meeting with the branding department. He used the website refresh as an excuse to praise the project leader, Zuo Xiao, and listened to the department's work report. Finally, he announced that the branding department would receive a bonus for its outstanding performance this quarter, and all employees would receive a share.
Zuo Xiao looked at the man, well-dressed and commanding, and then recalled how slutty he'd been in bed last night. He couldn't respect him at all. But for the bonus, he still applauded him.
Well, he's a God of Wealth after all, even though he's a bit of a pervert at heart...
Zhan Jiaxin treated them to lunch. Thanks to Zuo Xiao, she would also receive a bonus this month.
At the dinner table, Zhan Jiaxin exaggerated and praised Luffy, saying that he was "handsome, rich, good-tempered, gentlemanly, generous and of high level", and the banner read: "360 degrees without blind spots", and at least half of the single women in the company had a crush on him.
Zuo Xiao listened to her and Zhuang Jinghao recount many stories about Luffy's past. Luffy was from Shanxi Province, and his family truly owned a mine, among other businesses. After graduating from university, he co-founded a company with his classmate Zhuang Yu'an, giving him more shares. Some speculated he was just playing around, but surprisingly, he persevered. Over the years, he worked overtime and traveled extensively, never complaining.
Compared to other wealthy second-generations, Luffy is relatively low-key, never doing anything outrageous to show off his wealth. He usually drives two cars to and from work. It wasn't until the last few months that he changed his ways...
Having said that, Zhan Jiaxin looked at Zuo Xiao, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.
"Let's not talk about him anymore." Zuo Xiao easily changed the subject, "Let's talk about someone's future sister-in-law."
Zhuang Jinghao couldn't hold it in any longer and said, "I asked my brother again this morning, and he emphasized once again that he had no feelings for Si Rui. He felt that continuing would only delay the girl's search for a partner..."
"That's not a problem." Zuo Xiao said, "If you don't like me, don't keep me hanging."
"Ah... so he and Si Rui are game over?" Zhuang Jing was unwilling to accept this. "It's rare to find someone he's willing to be with in all these years, and they're such a perfect match! Is my brother really born with a sealed heart and locked desires, destined to be a widower?"
Zuo Xiao thought for a moment and said, "There is another possibility that cannot be ruled out."
"What?"
"Didn't you say the two of them were fine last week?" Zuo Xiao analyzed, "It was only over the past weekend, and the situation suddenly changed. Maybe something happened during that time that caused your brother to change his attitude."
"This weekend...my brother went to Shanghai on a business trip this weekend, so there didn't seem to be anything special going on..."
"Well," Zhan Jiaxin interrupted, "is it possible that there will be some... wonderful encounters in other places?"
"Pfft..." Zuo Xiaozheng, who was sipping his iced lemon tea, nearly spit it out. "A romantic encounter is a romantic encounter, and a wonderful encounter? Copywriters are really different, haha!"
Zhuang Jinghao opened his eyes wide: "You mean, my brother met another girl in Shanghai, so..."
"It's not ruled out." Zuo Xiao said, "If there's a favorite female guest No. 1, then there can certainly be No. 2 and No. 3."
"My brother isn't that kind of person..." Zhuang Jing said weakly, "He's not the type to get bored easily."
"Even if it is, there's nothing to blame." Zuo Xiao said matter-of-factly, "He and Si Rui haven't confirmed their relationship yet. If he meets someone he likes more, he can definitely change his target!"
Zhuang Jinghao frowned, and after a while he said, "No, I must find out the truth!"
