Chapter 5: Tower (n) You should coax me
You Wu was so angry at Ke Yanlou that she laughed. Her mind went blank and she fell silent even though she was eloquent.
Ke Yanlou leaned leisurely against the wall, staring at You Wu.
He was still holding the cigarette that You Wu had just taken a puff of, and just like that, in front of You Wu, he put the cigarette into his own mouth. The hand holding the cigarette was thin and powerful, and the movement was extremely gentle, sometimes giving You Wu an illusion that what he put into his mouth was not a cigarette...
You Wu frowned but said nothing.
The man was not wearing a formal suit today, but a simple short-sleeved shirt and black pants, and the watch he usually wore was no longer there.
Ke Yanlou looked at You Wu quietly through the smoke. He blew out a smoke ring and smiled gently at You Wu: "You can't smoke, but why do you smoke so hard?"
You Wu: "You came to me just to smoke my cigarette?"
Ke Yanlou shrugged tiredly: "Didn't I give you some water as well?"
He said "water" without any embarrassment.
Look, this is shamelessness.
You Wu pursed her lips: "Did Chen Jiayu tell you that I live here?"
Ke Yanlou nodded without comment, holding a cigarette in his mouth.
Although she had expected to meet Ke Yanlou again, You Wu still felt that Chen Jiayu had betrayed her, so she would not help Chen Jiayu when assigning homework next time.
Ke Yanlou finished smoking and raised his chin to You Wu: "Let's chat?"
You Wu crossed his arms and said, "What are we talking about? It's too late. I need to go to bed."
Ke Yanlou let out a light "tsk" and sighed helplessly: "You just pretend."
You Wu covered his mouth and muttered, "I can't chat. My mouth hurts."
Ke Yanlou raised his eyebrows and walked over to You Wu. His steps were so light that he looked like a ghost walking at night in the dim corridor.
Ke Yanlou stood in front of You Wu and looked down at her, as if he was examining her carefully: "It shouldn't be like that. I didn't bite you. Why does your mouth hurt?"
You Wu: "I have an ulcer and don't want to talk."
Ke Yanlou let out a laugh from his throat: "That's even more wrong. I didn't notice you had an ulcer in your mouth just now."
You Wu looked up at Ke Yanlou in shock and accused him, "How do you know since you didn't stick out your tongue?"
Ke Yanlou tilted his head slightly and said "Oh", then suddenly realized: "That's right, I didn't stick out my tongue just now, how about trying again?"
You Wu: “…”
You Wu knew that he had been tricked by Ke Yanlou, and finally he could only utter: "Are you disgusting?"
Ke Yanlou said with a smile: "Okay, let's talk business."
Ke Yanlou stopped laughing and changed the subject to the project: "Do you want me to sign this contract?"
You Wu: “…”
No Party B can refuse to sign a contract, right?
You Wu was still clear-headed about important matters. She nodded and said, "If you sign, I can get the money."
When Ke Yanlou heard this, the voice-controlled light above his head lit up just because of You Wu's words, and the faint light entered Ke Yanlou's dark pupils.
You Wu's small and delicate face was reflected in his pupils, with a stubborn look in his eyes.
Ke Yanlou sighed and laughed, "I find that you are really good at portraying yourself as a weak person in a few words, but in fact you know everything."
You Wu did not directly answer Ke Yanlou's question as to whether he wanted to sign the contract or not, but instead said in a roundabout way that she would get the money as long as Ke Yanlou signed the contract.
The meanings of these two answers are very different.
You Wu did not deny it: "So what?"
Ke Yanlou: "Not very good, I just feel..."
Ke Yanlou lowered his head and looked directly at You Wu: "How pitiful."
When You Wu heard this, he smiled with his eyes narrowed, like a little fox that had successfully hunted its prey: "Then will you sign it?"
Ke Yanlou: "Guess?"
You Wu: “…”
Damn it, I guess.
Ke Yanlou put out his cigarette, took out a piece of paper to wrap the cigarette butt, and said slowly: "Okay, make an appointment with your senior sister to discuss the contract together another day. I'll pick up Ke Xingye."
You Wu's eyebrows twitched twice: "Did you hear Ke Xingye's voice on the phone?"
Ke Yanlou said "hmm". Then, as if he had thought of something, he turned to You Wu and said, "If you really want Ke Xing to live in your house, then..."
Before Ke Yanlou could finish his words, You Wu interrupted him: "I don't want to, you should take Ke Xing back quickly."
After You Wu finished speaking, he took two quick steps up the stairs. Ke Yanlou didn't expect that You Wu had no intention of keeping Ke Xingye. His eyebrows slightly raised, and the straight line of his lips drew an imperceptible arc.
"Hurry up?" Seeing that Ke Yanlou had not caught up, You Wu turned to Ke Yanlou and said.
Ke Yanlou was looking up at You Wu at this time. Although Ke Yanlou usually appeared to be gentle at first glance, he actually looked quite aggressive.
But now he looked up at You Wu. Under the soothing of the light, his narrow eyes, which originally had an oppressive look, revealed for the first time a look of loneliness and grievance on his face.
Ke Yanlou looked at You Wu and said, "Is that how you talk to Party A's father?"
You Wu took a long breath and said, "Then how should I talk to you, the father of Party A?"
Ke Yanlou: "You should coax me."
You Wu bit his back teeth and jumped to Ke Yanlou's position in two or three steps: "Okay, I'll coax you, can you please bring your good brother Ke Xing home as well?"
Ke Yanlou's expression did not change much, he just nodded and said affirmatively: "It's difficult."
When Ke Yanlou arrived at You Wu's door, he did not enter. You Wu teased, "You're not coming in?"
The voice-controlled light behind Ke Yanlou had gone out, leaving only the light from the desk lamp in the room falling on him, but there was only a hazy shadow standing in front of the door.
Ke Yanlou asked seriously, "Do you really want me to come in?"
You Wu always felt that Ke Yanlou could make some very ordinary sentences sound different.
You Wu: "I didn't see you being so polite outside just now."
Ke Yanlou didn't say anything and waited for You Wu to find Ke Xingye.
You Wu turned and went into the house, and Ke Yanlou looked around the house. It had two bedrooms, a living room, a kitchen and a bathroom. It was not very big, but it was enough for You Wu and her grandmother to live in. The house was decorated in a log style, with soft light flowing on the floor. On the coffee table in the middle of the living room was a vase filled with lilies.
How to describe this house?
Ke Yanlou finally gave the answer—"Home."
"It seems that Ke Xing has left too?" You Wu came out at the right time with a puzzled look on his face.
Ke Yanlou narrowed his eyes slightly, and when he turned to leave, You Wu suddenly called him, "Mr. Ke."
Ke Yanlou stopped.
You Wu's voice floated to his ears from inside the house: "Actually, if you want to find a woman, there are many people who will come to you. You don't have to come to me."
You Wu also said the same thing to Ke Xing today.
After You Wu finished speaking, Ke Yanlou tilted his head to look at You Wu. His pretty eyes hid a bit of jerkiness as he smiled. He asked in confusion, "Did I give you some illusion?"
"I'm not here to see you. I'm here to pick up my brother."
...
Downstairs, a Koenigsegg that did not belong to an ordinary community was parked on the side of the road. The man sitting in the driver's seat had his shirt cuffs rolled up to his elbows. He placed his left hand lightly on the edge of the car window and shook out the cigarette ashes.
Ke Xingye's gaze fell on the door of the apartment building, and the next moment, Ke Yanlou's figure walked out from inside.
Ke Xing also felt a little stuffy, so he rolled down all the windows and let the night wind in.
Ke Xing also left when You Wu went downstairs for a walk. He was not shameless enough to live in the home of an unmarried girl. He sat in the car and watched Ke Yanlou enter You Wu's unit door, and also caught a glimpse through the window of Ke Yanlou feeding water to someone.
Ke Xing also narrowed his eyes and flashed double flashes towards Ke Yanlou's position.
Ke Yanlou turned towards Ke Xingye as if he had expected it, threw the car keys in his hand at Ke Xingye, and mouthed: "Long time no see, brother?"
