Chapter 50
In the evening, Mrs. Fu organized a family barbecue in the courtyard.
As a non-staff member, Shen Tingzhou participated in the BBQ with Xu Xun.
Originally, Shen Tingzhou was the main griller and Xu Xun was just delivering the ingredients. However, Shen Tingzhou received a call at the last minute and Xu Xun took over the responsibility of main grilling.
Shen Tingzhou walked to a quiet place and said a few words to the person on the other end of the phone.
After hanging up the phone, Shen Tingzhou went into the living room to wash his hands, but heard Sang Qing say, "Go to the refrigerator and get some crushed ice."
Shen Tingzhou glanced around and saw that he was the only one in the living room. After making sure that Sang Qing was talking to him, Shen Tingzhou walked into the kitchen.
The Fu family's refrigerator is of the inlaid type. Shen Tingzhou studied it for a while and opened the layer where ice cubes were stored.
Sang Qing was making sashimi on the island table with his back to Shen Tingzhou.
When Shen Tingzhou brought the crushed ice over, Sang Qing was a little surprised, and then apologized: "I didn't know it was you, sorry to bother you."
"It's no trouble, it's a piece of cake." Shen Tingzhou asked, "Do you need any more help?"
After Sang Qing smiled and declined, Shen Tingzhou did not leave immediately.
Shen Tingzhou was amazed at Sang Qing's skillful knife skills. Each slice of raw fish was cut into an even thickness and then rolled into the shape of a flower. There was also a beautiful latte art made of rock sugar radish on the plate.
Such skillful hands, I feel like they are at the level of a top chef.
This time, Sang Qing was wearing transparent gloves used by chefs, and Shen Tingzhou discovered that the little finger of his right glove was empty.
As if he noticed Shen Tingzhou's gaze, Sang Qingping said calmly, "I cut it myself."
Shen Tingzhou: Ah?
Sang Qing: "According to the rules of the Qianmen sect, if you leave, you have to cut off a finger."
Shen Tingzhou: ...Is this Thousand Gates the Thousand Gates he had in mind?
The butler's voice floated over, "I didn't expect Mr. Sang to be someone from Qianmen."
The sudden appearance of the butler scared Shen Tingzhou. He looked at the butler who was holding a teacup with a mysterious smile on his face.
Shen Tingzhou: I feel like what's coming up is going to be an incredible conversation.
Sang Qing cut the last piece of raw fish and rolled it into a beautiful bouquet, then looked up and looked at the butler, whose face was still dignified and steady.
He said calmly, "I was ignorant when I was young."
The housekeeper took a sip of tea and smiled, "That's indeed a bit ignorant."
Sang Qing was not angry. He changed a knife and carved patterns on the carrot. "I heard that the butler was the leader of the mafia?"
What? Mafia!
These words shocked Shen Tingzhou's entire family for three hundred years.
My god, do butlers nowadays have to have such a complicated and exciting background?
The butler smiled and said, "We can't compare to you Qianmen. We don't cut our fingers."
Sang Qing said calmly: "It's better to cut off your fingers than to be hit by a bullet."
Shen Tingzhou: ...They are all people with military achievements.
The housekeeper suddenly lifted up his clothes and touched his lower back. Shen Tingzhou's pupils trembled and his scalp went numb.
We are not allowed to draw guns here, it is against the law, butler!
Just as Shen Tingzhou was about to stop him, he saw the butler took out a deck of poker cards.
Some people hide bombs in their crotch, some hide poker cards in their waist...
The butler spread out all the poker cards, and after just a few seconds, he put them back into his hand neatly and began to shuffle them.
Looking at the way the butler shuffled the cards with one hand, Shen Tingzhou felt that he had also practiced it and was very fast.
The butler split the cards into two, placed the index fingers of both hands on the back of the cards, bent the cards upside down, hooked the thumb on the head of the card, hooked the back three fingers on the tail of the card, and flicked the cards downward with the thumb.
He moved quickly, and the two piles of cards quickly overlapped each other. The butler raised the cards, and when he released the last three fingers, the cards made a crisp sound and quickly merged into one.
A very standard and beautiful dove tail shuffle.
The butler shuffled the cards twice, and finally took out a card from it. He smiled and asked Sang Qing, "Mr. Sang, do you know the value of this card?"
Sang Qing didn't think too much before saying, "Black spade tip."
The butler turns over the cards.
Shen Tingzhou looked over and saw it was the King of Spades.
Sang Qing said nothing. He put the sashimi on a plate filled with crushed ice, took off his gloves, washed his hands, put on his white gloves again, then took the plate and walked out.
When Sang Qing passed by the butler, he raised his wrist, gently pulled a card from the butler's sleeve, and placed it on the table.
Shen Tingzhou didn't even see how he made the move, his movements were so smooth.
After Sang Qing left, Shen Tingzhou walked over to the table, picked up the card that Sang Qing had put down, and said to the butler in a daze, "Ace of Spades."
The butler looked towards Sang Qing.
Sang Qing carried the food plate in one hand and walked from the living room to the backyard.
When Sang Qing passed by a staircase, Shen Tingzhou noticed that the butler's eyes suddenly became sharp and focused. When the person walked down the stairs steadily and disappeared from his sight, the butler's eyes relaxed again.
Shen Tingzhou heard him mutter, "He didn't trip over the stairs. What a pity."
Shen Tingzhou: ...
So just now you were cursing Butler Sang with your mind!
It is true that men remain young until they die. No matter how old they are, they like to play such childish tricks.
-
These two minutes were so exciting that Shen Tingzhou was a little dazed.
After washing his hands and walking out of the living room, the backyard was still bustling. Shen Tingzhou's feeling of "seven days in the mountains, a thousand years in the world" faded.
He glanced around the room with satisfaction, and when he saw Fu Huaifei, his eyes paused for a few seconds.
Fu Huaifei sat next to the flower bed in the corner, her long, braided black hair hanging in front of her chest, dotted with pretty little flowers.
He sat there in his azure clothes, with a beauty that was like the fragrance of spring blooming in the dead of winter.
Beautiful, but abstract.
The sense of unreality about Fu Huaifei made him feel out of tune with the whole world.
Shen Tingzhou looked for three seconds, then looked away, and the world in the backyard was filled with fireworks again.
Looking at Fu Huaifei, it felt unreal; looking at other places in the backyard, it felt warm.
Looking at Fu Huaifei, it felt unreal; looking at other places in the backyard, it felt warm.
Looking at Fu Huaifei, it doesn't seem real. Looking at other places in the backyard, eh...
Shen Tingzhou, who discovered the highlight, turned his head again. Fu Huaifei's world was no longer just one person, and Sang Yan appeared on the screen.
Sang Yan held Fu Huaifei's chin forcefully and leaned close to Fu Huaifei, as if he wanted to kiss him forcefully.
Shen Tingzhou suspected that there was something wrong with his eyes, so he closed his eyes for a moment and looked over again.
Fu Huaifei was forced to tilt his head back. His neck had smooth lines, his profile was beautiful, and he looked at Sang Yan approaching with fluttering eyelashes, as if he would say Yameidee in the next second.
Fu Huaifei did not open his mouth to call out "Yameidi", but Sang Yan said three words first.
Shen Tingzhou tried hard to identify, and found that he was calling, "Doctor Shen."
What?
Sang Yan looked at Shen Tingzhou with a worried look on his face, "Doctor Shen, the gentleman's throat seems to be a little uncomfortable."
Shen Tingzhou came to his senses and walked over with a guilty conscience.
The street lights in the backyard and the flashlights from mobile phones both had an orangey light. Shen Tingzhou couldn't see clearly and didn't know if Fu Huaifei's throat was swollen.
Fu Huaifei just had his throat checked by Sang Yan and Shen Tingzhou in turn. As if he had gone through a great ordeal, he weakly lay back on the Rococo-style antique chair, with some redness in the corners of his eyes.
Sang Yan comforted Fu Huaifei for a few words, then asked anxiously, "What's wrong, Doctor Shen?"
Shen Tingzhou said subconsciously, "Don't worry, family members, it's not cancer."
Sang Yan: “Ah?”
Fu Huaifei looked at it in horror.
Shen Tingzhou's expression was subtle for a few seconds. "...I mean, he might have a sore throat from eating barbecue. Uh, how much did he eat today?"
As Shen Tingzhou asked this question, his eyes swept across the small round table covered with a lace tablecloth, and he couldn't help but felt embarrassed.
It felt like Fu Huaifei was not eating the same kind of barbecue as them.
A complete set of gold-painted tableware was placed on the round table. Ordinary diced mutton was neatly piled together by Sang Yan. Two lines were drawn on the blank space of the plate with sauce, and the ends were decorated with mint leaves.
Even the roasted tofu skin has its own exquisite design, making it seem out of reach.
No matter how ordinary the grilled ingredients are, they all give off a sense of being unaffordable after being cooked by Sang Yan's skillful hands.
What surprised Shen Tingzhou the most was that Sang Yan could really repeat exactly what Fu Huaifei had eaten tonight -
"Five pieces of mutton, three pieces of beef, half a bean curd, two bites of grilled fish, one scallop, half a squid, half a bell pepper, and I really liked the tofu, so I ate three pieces."
Shen Tingzhou: ...
Fu Huaifei was shocked, "I ate so much?"
"How can this be considered a lot?" Sang Yan said worriedly, "Sir, you eat too little."
This answer satisfied Fu Huaifei. He lay back down peacefully and continued to be an elegant and sickly handsome man.
Seeing him like this, Sang Yan felt distressed, "Sir, are you feeling very uncomfortable?"
Fu Huaifei seemed to have a sore throat and was unwilling to say more. He shook his head weakly at Sang Yan.
Seeing Mrs. Fu looking over here, Fu Huaifei immediately shrank behind Sang Yan. He lowered his eyelashes weakly after the other party's gaze moved away.
Shen Tingzhou pulled the corner of his mouth, "Maybe it's because I'm a little irritated. Drink more water and eat some fruit."
Sang Yan immediately said, "I stewed the pear."
Shen Tingzhou nodded, "Xue Li is good, let him drink more."
Sang Yan leaned over and whispered to Fu Huaifei, "Sir, are you cold? Can I get you some clothes?"
Fu Huaifei nodded and raised his slender hand.
Sang Yan quickly held it tightly and half-knelt in front of him, "What's the matter, sir?"
Fu Huaifei whispered, "Go quickly and come back soon."
After saying that, he turned his head and coughed softly. Who wouldn't say he was a delicate flower when seeing this look?
Sang Yan poured a cup of hot tea anxiously, "Warm your hands, I'll be back soon."
Fu Huaifei hummed, held the teacup obediently, and waited for Sang Yan to come back.
-
After Shen Tingzhou returned, he shared two explosive pieces of news with Xu Xun.
"Did you know? The butler used to be the leader of the mafia. Butler Sang is from Qianmen!"
Xu Xun responded calmly, "I know, eat the meat quickly, it's just grilled."
Shen Tingzhou took the skewers of meat handed to him by Xu Xun and started to eat them.
Xu Xun asked, "How does it taste?"
Shen Tingzhou gave 100% affirmation, "Very good."
Xu Xun smiled with satisfaction and took a piece of fruit to eat.
Shen Tingzhou looked at him, "Why don't you eat?"
Xu Xun shook his head, "I can't eat too much, it will easily cause me to get angry."
Shen Tingzhou's eyebrows twitched. It is said that nephews look like their uncles. Xu Xun and Fu Huaifei really have many similarities.
Xu Xun was very sensitive. He stared at Shen Tingzhou and asked, "What are you thinking about?"
Shen Tingzhou slowly straightened the arc of his mouth, "Nothing, I was thinking whether I should steam an egg custard for you, you can't go hungry."
Xu Xun's eyes were gentle, "Eat first, and talk after you're full."
Shen Tingzhou nodded and continued to chew the skewer in his hand. Xu Xun handed lettuce to Shen Tingzhou.
When they were almost done eating, Shen Tingzhou took Xu Xun into the kitchen and steamed a portion of egg custard for him.
After a while, Sang Yan and Fu Huaifei also came in.
Like Shen Tingzhou, Sang Yan also came to steam egg custard for Fu Huaifei.
Shen Tingzhou’s dish is served out of the pot first, sprinkled with chopped green onions, sesame oil and light soy sauce, and then you can start eating.
Sang Yan made a deluxe version of egg custard. He took three eggs, stirred them, added milk to the egg liquid, then put the pan on the fire and started frying sugar color.
Looking at the skilled and busy young steward Sang, Shen Tingzhou thought of the swordsmanship of the old steward Sang, and felt that he was worthy of being his master.
Xu Xun and Fu Huaifei, the uncle and nephew, were equally quiet, one eating a simple version of egg custard and the other a luxurious version of egg custard.
Shen Tingzhou was chatting with Sang Yan, "Butler Sang, are you ready for dinner?"
The housekeeper Xiao Sang, who is a first-rate cook, replied shyly, "Thank you for your concern, Dr. Shen. I ate it. Sir, there is a lot left over. It would be a waste if you don't eat it."
"Hmm?" Shen Tingzhou raised his voice for the second time.
Sang Yan smiled faintly, "Sir, you use a knife and fork to eat, so you won't touch the tableware. It's very hygienic and there will be no cross infection."
"Yeah." Shen Tingzhou lowered his voice.
At this time Xu Xun suddenly said, "It tastes a bit strange."
Shen Tingzhou looked over and Xu Xun said to him, "My food tastes a little weird, try it."
He scooped a spoonful of egg custard and brought it to Shen Tingzhou's mouth. Shen Tingzhou took a sip without thinking much and said, "The taste seems a little bland. Let's add a little more salt."
Xu Xun nodded, "Okay."
Shen Tingzhou took the salt and sprinkled some on it, and Xu Xun continued to eat.
Seeing Xu Xun using the spoon used by Shen Tingzhou, Fu Huaifei and Sang Yan looked at each other and saw shock in each other's eyes.
Fu Huaifei: They use a spoon.
Sang Yan: Although it is unhygienic, but... Doctor Shen should have his own ideas.
Mrs. Fu walked in and asked, "Why are you gathering here to eat secretly when I have prepared other food for you two?"
Seeing that Xu Xun was also criticized, Fu Huaifei, who felt a little balanced, did not leave in a bad temper.
Sang Yan said on behalf of Fu Huaifei, "Sir, you are not feeling well."
Mrs. Fu looked at Fu Huaifei lovingly, "There are 365 days in a year, and I feel uncomfortable for 730 days. It's hard for you to make one day into two days."
Fu Huaifei silently put down the cutlery, stood up and was about to "fly away like a fairy".
"Are you leaving?" Mrs. Fu turned to Sang Yan and said, "Hurry up and help him go back to his room to cry. Don't flood the place and drown Doctor Shen."
Shen Tingzhou: ...
Sang Yan, whose eloquence was not as good as the old lady's, helped Fu Huaifei away.
As soon as they left, Mrs. Fu turned her attention to Shen Tingzhou and Xu Xun.
Shen Tingzhou felt like he was being called out by the teacher in class, and his nerves tensed up.
The old lady smiled and said, "Doctor Shen, thank you for your help tonight. Come sit down and eat with Xiao Dai. Let him eat more. When he becomes Xiao Wa, he will be more pleasing to the eye."
If you haven't finished elementary school yet, you really can't understand her joke.
It took Shen Tingzhou, who had just finished primary school, a while to understand the meaning of "Xiao Dai" becoming "Xiao Wa".
After the old lady left, Shen Tingzhou sat next to Xu Xun, "Are you okay?"
Xu Xun ate the last bite of egg custard and asked, "Is there anything I can't swallow now?"
Shen Tingzhou hesitated for a long time, then took the ginger beside him and pushed it in front of him.
Xu Xun frowned, and after a moment he picked up the ginger and put it in his mouth.
Seeing that he was serious, Shen Tingzhou was shocked and quickly stopped him, "Not really, not really, I was just joking."
Xu Xun raised his hands and clasped Shen Tingzhou's cheeks. He leaned down so that his lips almost touched Shen Tingzhou's and their noses touched.
Shen Tingzhou's pupils constricted in shock, and all he could see were chaotic shadows.
In fact, those were Xu Xun's eyelashes, but because they were too close, they became blurry after Shen Tingzhou's pupils dilated infinitely.
Xu Xun came closer, and Shen Tingzhou was so scared that he closed his eyes.
The next second, Shen Tingzhou's forehead was hit lightly, and the ambiguous feeling of oppression disappeared, and Shen Tingzhou slowly opened his eyes.
Xu Xun's eyes flickered with a faint smile, "This is your punishment for lying to me."
Shen Tingzhou was still in a daze, his heart beating uncontrollably in his chest.
He couldn't figure out whether the punishment Xu Xun mentioned was this headbutt that didn't hurt at all, or something else.
People who had eaten and drunk their fill came back one after another, and Shen Tingzhou quickly distanced himself from Xu Xun.
Looking at Shen Tingzhou with flushed cheeks and a panicked expression, Xu Xun curled his lips.
-
After returning home at night, as soon as Shen Tingzhou closed his eyes while lying on the bed, the scene in the living room would pop up in his mind——
Xu Xun's enlarged face, his hot breath, and the vague touch of his lips.
Shen Tingzhou tossed and turned, but the scene could not be dispelled. He pulled the quilt to cover his head, and after a while he sat up suddenly, as if more restricted scenes had entered his mind.
Shen Tingzhou scratched his head, then picked up his phone, ready to watch something else to distract himself.
Shen Tingzhou browsed his Moments, stayed on the short video platform for a while, and finally opened the Huaqu forum.
At the top of the list was a familiar post.
[Haha, I'm desperate about my face blindness. I've mistaken someone for the third time.]
There was also the one who complained about his partner a few days ago and was eventually blocked by Yu Jurong.
[Thank you for your concern. Don't worry, I'm fine. Even if he has ten times the courage, he wouldn't dare to do anything to me.]
The post was flooded with a sentence: [I hope your ass is as hard as your mouth. ]
The first thirty comments were all about this. The original poster was probably not convinced and replied: [Don’t disbelieve me, I have already smashed his wheelchair.]
Many people started to tease the OP:
【Believe, believe, believe. How can I not believe? 】
[If you can't believe what the OP says, then what else is real in this world? What else is there! ]
[That’s right, the tiger still has time to nap, so why can’t someone secretly smash Uncle Yu’s wheelchair while he’s sleeping?]
The poster is young and couldn't help but get a little excited: [I didn't smash it while he was sleeping, I smashed it in front of him. ]
[So are you wearing clothes? Is he wearing clothes? ]
The original poster: […Don’t worry about this. Anyway, I smashed his wheelchair and I will get a divorce certificate from him tomorrow.]
【I wish you a happy single life. 】
【I wish you a happy single life. 】
【Wish you a happy single life】
Looking at these six words, Shen Tingzhou thought that being single is indeed quite happy.
When Shen Tingzhou was listing the advantages of being single, a face inexplicably popped up in his mind. He immediately turned into a screaming chicken and covered his face.
No way, no way!
-
Shen Tingzhou tossed in bed for half the night and woke up the next morning feeling listless.
In the afternoon, Zhou Zitan came over with He Yanting and stared at Shen Tingzhou with a strange expression, "Why is there something wrong?"
Shen Tingzhou's heart trembled.
Is his abnormality so obvious that even a calm person like Zhou Zitan can feel it!
Zhou Zi poked his head towards the kitchen, sniffed twice, and asked Shen Tingzhou, "Doctor Shen, did you cook something? It smells burnt."
My sesame paste!
Shen Tingzhou quickly disappeared in front of Zhou Zitan and He Yanting as a residual shadow.
The sesame paste was indeed mushy, but only a little bit mushy, mainly because Zhou Zitan had a dog nose and could smell any smell.
Shen Tingzhou served the sesame paste and asked them, "Do you want to eat it? It's very authentic sesame paste."
His sesame paste was not bought but given by the housekeeper. It has a delicate texture and a rich and mellow aroma.
He Yanting poked his head in and said, "I want to drink."
Zhou Zitan also said, "I want to drink."
Shen Tingzhou only cooked one portion. He drank the slightly mushy sesame paste himself and cooked two more portions for the two of them.
He Yanting's taste is now that of a child, so Shen Tingzhou added a little sugar to it.
Looking at the two heads concentrating on drinking sesame paste, Dr. Shen, who had calmed down, asked with a cup of tea, "Why are you here?"
Zhou Zi looked up and said, "Doctor Shen, let's go to the bar tonight."
"We?" Shen Tingzhou pointed at himself, then pointed at He Yanting and Zhou Zitan to confirm, "Are we the three of us?"
Isn't this combination a bit too wild? Xiao He is still a child.
Zhou Zitan has his own logic for his behavior. "My sister said that if I want my brother to like me, I should show more of my charm. After thinking about it, I think my greatest charm is DJing."
Shen Tingzhou's expression was blank for a few seconds, "Uh, have you introduced someone to your sister again?"
Zhou Zi was surprised, "How do you know?"
Shen Tingzhou held his forehead and said, "This is not important. What's important is that you don't introduce anyone to her in the future. She doesn't like them."
Zhou Zitan was a little sad, "Ah, you don't like it?"
Shen Tingzhou nodded solemnly, "Yes, I don't like it!"
Zhou Zitan said dejectedly, "Okay. Let's go watch me DJ together tonight, Doctor Shen. You should also relax a little. It's boring to stay at home all day."
If it was a day ago, Shen Tingzhou would definitely not go, but now he really needs to vent.
-
Everyone has his or her own absolute place, and Zhou Zitan's place is the bar.
Coming here, Zhou Zitan's aura changed, and Shen Tingzhou pulled He Yanting to follow behind him.
The laser light swept across Zhou Zitan's face, giving him a sense of calmness and courage that he didn't usually have.
"Doctor Shen." Zhou Zi leaned over and whispered in Shen Tingzhou's ear, "You and my brother wait here for a while. I'm going to the second floor to meet their boss."
Shen Tingzhou nodded.
After Zhou Zitan left, He Yanting pulled Shen Tingzhou in dissatisfaction.
Shen Tingzhou took him to the bar in front, found a conspicuous place where Zhou Zitan could see him, opened the cake in his hand, and pushed it to He Yanting, "Eat it."
He Yanting picked up the fork and started eating.
The guy mixing cocktails at the bar smiled when he saw this, then walked over and asked Shen Tingzhou if he wanted a drink.
Shen Tingzhou declined politely, the shadow of the last time he drank here still lingering in his mind.
The young man didn't ask any more questions, just wiped his wine glass and left.
The music suddenly stopped and the people dancing enthusiastically in the dance floor looked towards the DJ booth.
The person on the stage hit a few passionate notes and said into the microphone in a deliberately low voice, "Next, welcome our DJ, Doctor Fan, Fan Master!"
Regular customers whistled in greeting, and new customers, not knowing what was going on, waved their arms.
Shen Tingzhou then looked towards the DJ booth and patted He Yanting on the shoulder. After all, Xiao Zhou wanted to show his charm to his brother.
Zhou Zitan took off his coat and sweatshirt, wearing only a sleeveless vest underneath, with black headphones hanging around his neck. He jumped from the second-floor stairs to the DJ booth.
Seeing his black hair, regular customers who only recognized him by his hair thought he was a pirate and told him to get out.
Zhou Zitan walked to the DJ player and gave the crowd a middle finger.
Shen Tingzhou subconsciously covered He Yanting's eyes, and when Zhou Zitan stopped gesturing, Shen Tingzhou let go of He Yanting.
Zhou Zitan put on black headphones, simply adjusted a few opening notes, and made a common gesture to the lighting engineer.
The lights on the stage suddenly became brilliant, and the big lights spun and swept across the dance floor.
Zhou Zitan operated the DJ player skillfully. The cool neon light shone on him. Shen Tingzhou saw tight and beautiful lines on his arms.
Xiao Zhou actually has muscles!
Shen Tingzhou didn't know how to DJ, but he could clearly feel the rhythm of the music was getting stronger, both exciting and catchy. He also moved his shoulders a few times to the melody.
People in the dance floor recognized Zhou Zitan based on the style of the music, and some screamed his name.
Zhou Zitan raised his middle finger again, his eyes and eyebrows showing a kind of unruly and wild nature, which made everyone call his name, but Zhou Zitan ignored them and focused on his own rhythm, occasionally glancing at Shen Tingzhou and the others.
I have to say, Zhou Zitan is indeed very charming on the stage.
Shen Tingzhou pointed to his ears to show that he was listening carefully.
Zhou Zitan smiled and actually switched to a nursery rhyme for Shen Tingzhou.
The strong rhythmic melody switches back and forth with the nursery rhymes, and with some peculiar samples, the mixture is weird but dynamic.
A person with semi-long hair on the second floor said, "This DJ is very spiritual."
Yu Jurong, who was standing beside him, looked at Zhang Yang's unbridled Zhou Zitan, curled up the corner of his mouth, and said nothing.
-
After playing on the stage for more than half an hour, Zhou Zitan took off his headphones and came down.
Shen Tingzhou's eardrums were about to be blown apart, and Zhou Zitan took them into a private room.
Zhou Zitan looked over expectantly, without the rebelliousness he had on stage, "How did I perform tonight?"
Although Shen Tingzhou didn't understand it very well, he felt it was amazing. "It sounds great. I saw a lot of people cheering for you."
Zhou Zitan's vanity was greatly satisfied after receiving the praise from Shen Tingzhou, and he looked at He Yanting with a smile.
He Yanting still disliked him and turned his head away.
Zhou Zitan was like a popped balloon. "You like everything that Jiang does, but you don't like anything I do."
Before He Yanting lost his memory, he looked down on him for DJing, thinking he was not doing his job properly. He didn't expect that he still looked down on him even after he lost his memory.
Hearing him talking about Jiang Ji, He Yanting turned his head and said bluntly: "He is good, but you are not!"
Zhou Zi was so angry, "I'm not good. I took you out to play and bought you delicious food. What did he do for you?"
He Yanting said in a noble and cold manner: "You don't have to buy it."
After thinking for a while, he added, "Ask Doctor Shen to buy it."
Seeing that they were about to quarrel again, Shen Tingzhou stepped forward to stop them. Coincidentally, the bar owner came over to find Zhou Zitan.
Zhou Zitan gave He Yanting a fierce look and left angrily.
After they left, Shen Tingzhou educated He Yanting, "He is your younger brother, you can't always bully him."
He Yanting insisted, "He is not good."
Shen Tingzhou peeled a tangerine and gave it to him, "But he treats you very well."
He Yanting ate the orange and stopped arguing with Shen Tingzhou.
Shen Tingzhou and He Yanting sat in the huge box, watching cats and mice together. More than an hour passed and Zhou Zitan didn't come back.
Shen Tingzhou was about to call him when Xu Xun called.
When Shen Tingzhou saw this name, his heart rate started to become abnormal again. He hesitated whether to answer the call. He Yanting, who couldn't watch cartoons, touched his phone and helped Shen Tingzhou answer the call.
Shen Tingzhou:!!!
Although the box was well soundproofed, Xu Xun still heard the noisy music and asked Shen Tingzhou, "Where are you?"
Shen Tingzhou hesitated for a moment, "I'm outside."
Xu Xun frowned, "Bar?"
Shen Tingzhou did not deny, "I didn't drink this time."
"Is it the same one as last time?"
"Um."
Xu Xun didn't say much. After a few words, Shen Tingzhou hung up the phone.
He Yanting had been staring at Shen Tingzhou, and seeing him in a daze, he couldn't help but remind him, "Cats and mice."
Shen Tingzhou came back to his senses and opened the video of Cat and Mouse again.
He Yanting suddenly said, "Your face is so red."
Shen Tingzhou touched his flushed face and said, "No..."
He was about to explain that it was too hot in here, but He Yanting had already turned around and was looking at Tom the Cat seriously, so Shen Tingzhou had to swallow his words.
Shen Tingzhou asked, "Do you still want to eat fruit?"
He Yanting looked over and said eagerly, "I want some candy."
Shen Tingzhou: "Eating too much sugar will damage your teeth."
He Yanting: "Let it break, it's okay."
Shen Tingzhou smiled and peeled a piece of candy for He Yanting.
After waiting for more than half an hour, Zhou Zitan finally came back with a sour face.
Looking at Zhou Zi's mouth with a small opening, Shen Tingzhou asked, "What's wrong with your mouth?"
Zhou Zitan showed a moment of disgust, took out a tissue and wiped it, avoiding Shen Tingzhou's gaze, "Nothing."
Shen Tingzhou stood up and said, "Let's go back. Your brother is also sleepy."
Glancing at He Yanting who was staring at his phone and rubbing his eyes, Zhou Zitan looked dazed, "Doctor Shen, is sex a channel to love? Does he like Jiang Ji so much because he had sex with her?"
Shen Tingzhou almost choked on his own saliva, "Who told you these words?"
Zhou Zitan looked a little uncomfortable. "It doesn't matter who said it. What matters is that if my brother does it with someone else, will he be able to forget Jiang Ji?"
When Shen Tingzhou heard this, his entire back went numb, and he immediately said, "Don't do this!"
Given Zhou Zitan's train of thought, Shen Tingzhou is not surprised at what he can do.
Zhou Zitan's eyes flickered, "...I don't have any."
"No matter who gave you the idea or what you were told!" Shen Tingzhou emphasized again, "Don't! Do! that!!"
Zhou Zitan hesitated for a long time, and finally said sullenly, "Okay."
Seeing Zhou Zitan’s lost face, Shen Tingzhou was shocked.
It turns out that Xiao Zhou really thought about this. Who, who on earth gave him such a bad idea!
If He Yanting wakes up one day and knows what Zhou Zitan has done, what good will happen to him?
-
Shen Tingzhou walked in front with the innocent Xiao He, and Zhou Zitan followed behind.
As soon as I walked out of the bar, Xu Xun called again, "I'm almost at your bar now."
Shen Tingzhou was startled and looked around for Xu Xun.
Xu Xun continued, "Pack up and come out."
Shen Tingzhou: "I..."
Xu Xun: "If it's not convenient now, I'll wait for you outside."
After hearing these considerate words, Shen Tingzhou couldn't say "no".
Shen Tingzhou hung up the phone and said to Zhou Zitan, "Take your brother back first. I have a friend coming over soon."
Zhou Zitan didn't ask any more questions, "Then let's go."
Shen Tingzhou instructed, "Call me when you get home."
Zhou Zitan responded and led He Yanting away.
It was the first time that Shen Tingzhou felt so nervous about meeting Xu Xun, and his heart was beating fast.
He pressed his chest several times, but couldn't stop the feeling of panic.
As Shen Tingzhou was taking a deep breath, an arm came over from behind him, smelling of alcohol and cigarettes.
This definitely couldn't be Xu Xun, Shen Tingzhou subconsciously avoided him, and turned around to see a drunk man with two companions following him.
The man reached out and touched Shen Tingzhou's face, teasing, "Is it a man or a woman, so beautiful?"
The two companions laughed.
Fu Huaifei might still be mistaken for a girl, but Shen Tingzhou does not exude any feminine qualities from his appearance to his temperament and clothing.

The drunk man became even more excited, "It's quite hot, you..."

Xu Xun grabbed him with his backhand and pulled him into a dark alley.

Xu Xun approached Shen Tingzhou, lowered his eyes and focused on Shen Tingzhou, his nose tip touching Shen Tingzhou's nose tip, as if rubbing.
"Close your eyes." Xu Xun gently nudged Shen Tingzhou and whispered, "I want to kiss you."
Shen Tingzhou's breathing stopped.
