Chapter 8



Qiao Guangyu felt that he was about to fall in love with the development zone.

Although it is a little backward and the ground is still a bumpy yellow mud road, it has fresh air, not many tourists, and the seafood is fresh and very cheap. Qiao Guangyu was a little reserved at first, but later he ate with all his heart, and he ate until his stomach was full before burping and returning to the resort with Quan Quan.

The description of "round belly" is not an exaggeration at all. After Qiao Guangyu buttoned up his tight jeans, the small piece of flesh protruding from his belly was particularly obvious.

He lifted his clothes and took a look at his belly. Meeting Quan Quan's familiar look of disdain, he blushed: "Actually, I'm really not fat...it's just that my pants are too tight..."

"No need to explain. Explanation is just covering up." Quan Quan looked away, hiding the smile in his eyes, "Fortunately, the boss is not coming back today."

Qiao Guangyu's concentration was on the second half of his sentence, and his eyes widened immediately: "Really? He is planning to spend the night at Bai Yueguang's place?" The progress was quite rapid, which was really gratifying!

His mood suddenly became brighter. He walked on the soft beach, feeling the slightly humid night breeze. The moon in the distant sky was as big and round as an egg yolk. The person walking next to him was the one he liked. Qiao Guangyu was already very content. There was no more perfect life than this.

However, for Huo Zhou, this romantic night with a full moon and everyone together was not as beautiful as he had imagined.

He and Wu Yu haven't seen each other for three years. Until now, Huo Zhou still remembers Wu Yu's living habits - for example, he doesn't eat seafood and he likes good vintage red wine.

Huo Zhou randomly ordered a few dishes in the resort's high-end western restaurant. When he put down the menu, he saw Wu Yu sitting across from him with a look of surprise and nostalgia: "I didn't expect you still remember my taste. The dishes you ordered are all my favorites. But you don't seem to like many of the dishes you order?"

After saying that, Wu Yu called the waiter who had not left yet and added a few more dishes according to Huo Zhou's taste, with undisguised concern and a gentle smile on his face.

This is what it's like to really like someone...

Huo Zhou recalled the scene when Qiao Guangyu picked up the menu and looked at the seafood dishes with his greedy eyes for a few seconds. He also recalled the scene when he picked up the red wine glass and shook it gently, swallowed it calmly and said "delicious". He obviously didn't know how to taste wine, but he would only say "delicious" for any wine, and he looked so serious when he said it.

In fact, apart from this, Qiao Guangyu is a very good stand-in. From his sitting posture to the way he holds the knife and fork, he is almost exactly the same as Wu Yu, but without many traces of stiff imitation. Just like Wu Yu, who is now sitting opposite Huo Zhou, he has a restrained temperament and is calm and composed.

He hadn't seen Wu Yu for three years, and he didn't know how Wu Yu was doing abroad. The pure and green boy back then had become more mature and confident under the tempering of time. His every move exuded the aura of a superior, and he had become a man who was no less charismatic than him.

This is a temperament that Qiao Guangyu can never imitate. To put it bluntly, Qiao Guangyu is just an ordinary young man who just graduated from college, and there is still a bit of childishness in his character.

Wu Yu elegantly cut off a small piece of steak and glanced at Huo Zhou: "Why don't you eat it? Don't you like it? The chefs here are really average. When we get back, I'll take you to a newly opened restaurant that's better than 'Black Rose'."

"I don't really care." Huo Zhou sneered, "I've been eating Western food a lot these years, just because you like it. In the past, I mostly accompanied my old man to eat northern food."

Wu Yu frowned slightly, and said apologetically: "I'm so sorry, if you had told me earlier that you like northern food, I would have booked a Northeastern restaurant."

Huo Zhou shook his head slightly: "As long as I can be with you, I don't mind eating anything." He saw the obvious touch in Wu Yu's eyes, and suddenly felt a little tired, and laughed at himself again, "——At that time, I did think so."

Wu Yu put down his knife and fork and stared at him seriously. "It was indeed my fault for going abroad without discussing it with you, but my heart has not changed in these few years in a foreign country. I love you, Huo Zhou." He reached across the table and held Huo Zhou's hand. "I don't believe you can let go of this relationship easily. We have been in love since college, a full ten years... Even if there is someone else by your side, I can see that he... looks a bit like me, doesn't he?"

This sentence seemed to touch the taboo in Huo Zhou's heart. He fell back and stood up awkwardly, not daring to look Wu Yu in the eye: "I... I'm going to the bathroom."

Wu Yu slowly withdrew his hand, straightened his back with dignity and pride, and nodded slightly to him: "Okay."

Even the angle of her smile is kept perfect.

But as soon as Huo Zhou left, Wu Yu's mouth drooped.

"I said that the Huo guy is unreliable."

Several days had passed, but Wu Yu's expression was still not calm. Wu Jun, who was his brother, was also not in a good mood when he talked about Huo Zhou: "I heard two years ago that there was someone around him, but Huo Zhou protected her too well and never brought that person to public events, so no one knew what his new lover looked like."

Wu Yu said calmly: "I saw it."

"What? You saw it?" Wu Jun looked at him in surprise. "Where did you see it?"

Wu Yu described the dramatic scene of his first encounter with Qiao Guangyu to Wu Jun, who smiled a little after he finished speaking: "He is a very honest and enthusiastic child. I don't know how he can tolerate Huo Zhou's temper."

Wu Jun's face was full of disgust: "Finding a child who looks like you, hiding a beautiful girl in a golden house, who is Huo Zhou trying to disgust?"

Wu Yu sighed quietly and looked at the calm sea: "I don't know."

Wu Jun warned him: "You should have less contact with him in the future. There are many good men out there, not just Huo Zhou!"

"I'm really just inferior to him." Wu Yu shook his head and said bitterly, "I was too self-abased at that time. He was regarded by the outside world as a business genius and a future leader in the financial world, while I was just given the title of 'Little Prince of Piano' by the media for the sake of my family's reputation. It would be great if I could really become an artist. With my level of skill, I can only fool laymen. If I ignore my family background, I can't make a living with it."

Even when he was in the most passionate love with Huo Zhou, Wu Yu was still worried about losing him. He could not bear to be mediocre standing next to his excellent lover. So he took the initiative to step out of the ivory tower, went abroad to study finance for three years, and learned how to socialize with businessmen. In the past, let alone having his sleeves stained with red wine, Wu Yu would even dare to turn his head in the face if he was not satisfied with the conversation with others. It was normal for him to leave in the middle of the conversation. If he had not forced himself to learn how to socialize for Huo Zhou, how would Qiao Guangyu have had the chance to see Wu Yu with his clothes soiled?

The only thing he did wrong was leaving Huo Zhou without saying goodbye.

I was too naive and too confident at the time, thinking that all true love can stand the test of time and will not change even after ten or eight years. He and Huo Zhou fell in love when they were teenagers. They endured the gossips of people around them, the test of their parents, and even the seven-year itch. Wu Yu fully believed that he would be able to give Huo Zhou a surprise when he returned to China three years later, and that the two would cherish each other even more after their long-awaited reunion.

But he never expected that men are animals who easily change their minds. After all, only a few of them can control their lower body.

After the candlelight dinner with Huo Zhou ended in an unpleasant mood, Wu Yu felt a little depressed.

Wu Jun couldn't bear to see him looking half dead, so he simply took him out to play and took a speedboat to the island to relax for a few days. These islands have only been initially developed, and the scenery still retains its original appearance without many traces of human intervention. He just hopes that his brother's mood will improve soon.

The two brothers of the Wu family never expected that they would run into their enemy Huo Zhou when they went out to relax.

The little lover beside Huo Zhou, if you look closely, really looks a bit like his brother...

What kind of shit luck is this!
