When the two went to have lunch in the morning, they ran into four fellow apprentices from Liushuang City, Fang Yu, Qiao Xi, Su Qingyuan and Xiao Yi. These four were well-known otakus in the Professional Alliance and usually didn't like to go out. Today, it was a rare occasion to see them all going out together.

Xie Mingzhe took the initiative to walk over and greet them. He found that Fang Yu had packed two extra breakfasts after eating her own breakfast, but the portions were not large. Xie Mingzhe could not help but wonder: "Is this packed for Su Yang's two little daughters?"

Fang Yu said, "Well, Master's daughter caught a cold last night, and Master didn't let them go out, so I brought some food back."

Fang Yu did not participate in the beach barbecue last night, so she did not know that it was Xie Mingzhe who played with the two little girls, so she just told the truth.

Xie Mingzhe was stunned and suddenly felt very guilty.

Apparently the two little girls caught a cold because they played too hard at the beach yesterday. As the adult who "played with them", he certainly had some responsibility. Thinking of this, Xie Mingzhe insisted on going to see the children, so Fang Yu took him back to the villa.

All the people in Liushuang City lived in a three-story villa. Su Yang, his wife, and his daughter lived on the top floor, and the four brothers lived on the second floor. When Xie Mingzhe arrived at the bedroom, the two girls had just woken up.

Xie Mingzhe walked over to apologize to Su Yang: "It's my fault. I shouldn't have taken them to play at the beach so late..."

Su Yang waved his hands cheerfully, "I can't blame you. My two children have been naughty since they were young and often catch colds. They just had a low fever last night, but they are well this morning. They are still clamoring to go out to the sea. I don't let them go out because I'm afraid that the sea breeze will make their colds worse."

The little girl smiled at Xie Mingzhe: "Brother, I don't blame you, we wanted to play this ourselves!"

Xie Mingzhe took a closer look and found that the two children were in good spirits and smiling brightly, and did not look seriously ill, so he was relieved. However, he still felt a little guilty, so he took the initiative to stay and have breakfast with the two children.

The little girl liked him very much and held Xie Mingzhe tightly and refused to let him go. Su Yang had no choice but to let Xie Mingzhe accompany them.

After breakfast, the twins wanted to watch cartoons, and Xie Mingzhe watched with them without being bothered by the noise. Tang Muzhou didn't like children very much, so he went downstairs to the living room with senior Su Yang to chat. After a while, Chen Qianlin and Chen Xiao came to visit. Among the five senior candidates, the one who had the best relationship with Chen Qianlin was Su Yang, the founder of the water system who had retired long ago.

The two of them were alumni of middle school and university. Su Yang was two years older than Chen Qianlin and always called him "Linlin". Chen Qianlin had no objection. The two chatted about their life after retirement. Tang Muzhou and Chen Xiao were unable to get a word in and looked at each other awkwardly.

Tang Muzhou decided to leave the space to his master and Senior Su Yang, and signaled Chen Xiao to leave.

The two of them came to the balcony on the rooftop, and Chen Xiao asked with a half-smile, "You've been living together for two days, how's the progress?"

Tang Muzhou looked relaxed: "I'm not in a hurry, why are you in a hurry?"

Chen Xiao raised his eyebrows: "Azhe is also my good brother. You like us Nirvana people, and you don't allow me to care about you?"

Tang Muzhou rubbed his temples and said, "There hasn't been much progress. I want to find a suitable time to confess."

Xie Mingzhe had just finished watching an animated film with two children and was about to go to the balcony to get some fresh air when he saw Chen Xiao and Tang Muzhou standing there talking. Their voices were so low that he could not hear the specific content of their conversation. He only heard the word "confession".

Xie Mingzhe took a few steps forward, hid at the corner, and pricked up his ears curiously.

Chen Xiao said: "Since you like him, why don't you just say it clearly?"

Tang Muzhou said in a serious tone, "It's because I like him so much that I don't dare to confess. What if he doesn't have such feelings for me? Once I confess, it will only make our relationship awkward. In the future, he will just try every means to avoid me, and we may not even be friends anymore."

Chen Xiao joked, "In my impression, you have always been very confident. It's rare to see you so worried about gains and losses."

Tang Muzhou was somewhat helpless: "Relationships are not like playing a game. No matter how confident I am in myself, I cannot guarantee that he will like me. If I lose a game, I can always try again next season. But him... I can't afford to lose."

Xie Mingzhe clenched his fingers tightly.

Can't afford to lose?

Only when you care about someone very much will you be so anxious about gains and losses, afraid of failure. It is also because you like them to the extreme that you are afraid that if you fail after confessing your love, there will be no chance of recovery, so you will be extra cautious.

He never expected that his senior brother loved that person so deeply, so deeply that Xie Mingzhe couldn't help but feel jealous.

Who on earth could make Tang Muzhou so obsessed with him?

Xie Mingzhe felt a sour taste in his heart, which spread all the way to his mouth, making his entire mouth sour and bitter...

I shouldn't be jealous, but I can't help it!

Xie Mingzhe thought with mixed feelings, "My senior brother is so devoted and infatuated with that person. If I pursue him, my hope will be slim, right?" It seems that I will be strangled in the cradle just when I realize that I like him.

As Chen Xiao was lost in thought, he spotted Xie Mingzhe and asked in surprise, "Azhe? Why are you here?"

Tang Muzhou's back stiffened slightly. It was unknown how much he had heard, and he looked a little uncomfortable.

Xie Mingzhe quickly adjusted his expression and walked out with a bright smile: "I just watched an animated film with two little girls and came out to the balcony to get some fresh air. How come Brother Chen is here too?"

Chen Xiao explained: "My brother came to reminisce with Senior Su Yang."

"Is Master here too?" Xie Mingzhe glanced at Tang Muzhou, put away his complicated thoughts, and said, "You guys continue chatting. I'll go downstairs to find Master."

After he left, Tang Muzhou and Chen Xiao looked at each other. Chen Xiao frowned and asked, "Could he have heard it?"

Tang Muzhou was silent for a moment and said, "Looking at his expression, he probably didn't hear the key point, otherwise he wouldn't be so calm."

Chen Xiao thought it made sense, so he didn't say anything more and patted Tang Muzhou on the shoulder.

The two of them went downstairs quickly. There were many people in the living room. Zhen Man, Xue Linxiang and Shao Mengchen were also there. The three girls bought a lot of fresh fruits and said they were here to see the baby twins.

Senior Su Yang's daughters are the first pair of descendants among the Star Card Professional League players, and everyone likes them very much.

Xue Linxiang also bought a lot of gifts for the children. Tang Muzhou looked at her with a gentle gaze and said, "Thank you for your hard work these days, Sister Xue. I heard from the hotel that you have arranged everything very well."

Xue Linxiang said: "Why are you being polite? This is what I should do."

Tang Muzhou smiled and handed her an orange. "Take advantage of the holiday to have a good rest. There are too many things going on at Fenghua. You have been busy for so many years. I will hire an assistant for you before the playoffs."

The two of them sat and chatted, the atmosphere was very relaxed and harmonious, but the more Xie Mingzhe watched, the more he felt something was wrong.

Could it be that the person Tang Muzhou likes is Sister Xue?

It is said that six years ago, when Tang Muzhou was competing in the professional league alone, he met Xue Linxiang in an online game. At that time, all his card upgrade materials were prepared by Xue Linxiang. This Fenghua Guild president was very efficient and was Tang Muzhou's strongest backer. Later, when Fenghua Club was established, Tang Muzhou called Xue Linxiang over to be the player agent and selected another president to manage the guild.

Over the years, Xue Linxiang has been actively assisting Tang Muzhou in handling Fenghua's internal and external affairs, allowing Tang Muzhou to concentrate on playing games and cultivating talents. Without her, Fenghua Club would not have grown to its current scale.

Pei Jingshan’s girlfriend is a cool beauty from the law department. As they say, birds of a feather flock together. Maybe Tang Muzhou also likes this kind of fierce, smart and capable Sister Yu type?

He said that he was afraid that they would not even be able to be friends after he confessed his love. Xue Linxiang has a straightforward personality and is definitely not the kind of cute girl who is easy to please. She will definitely not drag her feet when it comes to relationships. If she doesn't like someone, then she doesn't like them. Maybe she would just quit her job and leave after Tang Muzhou confessed his love to her?

So, Brother, you have been worried and dare not act rashly?

The more Xie Mingzhe thought about it, the more it made sense. His imagination was so open that he had already come up with a big drama.

He approached Sister Zhen Man and whispered, "Sister Man, hey, I had a PK with you before and was defeated by you. I've always wanted to try fighting your snake group again. Can you give me your contact information?"

Zhen Man simply added him as a personal friend and said, "You can contact me anytime."

In fact, Xie Mingzhe added Zhen Man as his friend because he also wanted to find out some inside information about Fenghua so that he could "know himself and know his enemy".

But in Tang Muzhou's eyes - this guy is just beginning to fall in love, and he took the initiative to ask for a beautiful woman's contact information?

Tang Muzhou frowned somewhat unhappily.

Since Sister Xue brought a lot of food, no one planned to go out, so they just ate and played in Senior Su Yang's villa.

As soon as four o'clock in the afternoon arrived, Tang Muzhou left early - his biological clock was difficult to change, and he had to go to bed at this time. He wanted to ask Xie Mingzhe to go back with him, but Xie Mingzhe refused, saying that he wanted to PK with Zhen Man.

Tang Muzhou had no choice but to go back to the villa by himself.

After waking up from a nap, Tang Muzhou found that his junior brother had not come back yet. He sent a message to ask him, and Xie Mingzhe replied that he was about to go to a buffet with Sister Man and the others.

Tang Muzhou was very unhappy.

He took out some food from the refrigerator and ate some, then sat in the living room waiting for Xie Mingzhe.

After waiting for a long time, until ten o'clock in the evening, Xie Mingzhe came back slowly, with a bright smile on his face, obviously having a lot of fun. He sat next to Tang Muzhou and said excitedly: "Sister Man is so good, I played PK with her ten times, and only won four games."

Tang Muzhou said calmly: "She just has more experience in individual competitions than you."

Xie Mingzhe smiled and said, "By the way, the girls in your Fenghua are all so pretty. Sister Man is the gorgeous type, Sister Xue is the queen type, and there is a shorter girl named Hongzhu who is the cute type. Do they all have boyfriends?"

Tang Muzhou: “…”

You're already asking about Fenghua girls, aren't you going in the wrong direction? !

Although the method of boiling a frog in warm water worked for Xie Mingzhe, it is still not cooked through, which is obviously not the right temperature. What's worse is that the frog may run into someone else's pot. Wouldn't it be a waste of time to cook it?

Tang Muzhou felt that it was time to add fuel to the fire.

At least let Xie Mingzhe have a clear direction and not let him deviate from others' lead.

He looked at Xie Mingzhe with deep eyes: "You suddenly asked them if you are interested in them and want to find a girlfriend?"

Xie Mingzhe thought to himself, Senior Brother is indeed interested in Sister Xue, his words are full of a sense of crisis!

So, Xie Mingzhe pretended to be very relaxed and said, "I do have this idea."

Tang Muzhou looked at him silently.

This look made Xie Mingzhe feel a little guilty, but he still pretended to be calm and said with a bright smile: "Isn't the person that Senior Brother likes Sister Xue? She is very beautiful, but she does look hard to pursue."

Tang Muzhou: “…”

Xie Mingzhe suppressed his jealousy and continued to probe, "Or maybe it was Zhen Man? Tell me who it is, maybe I can help you."

Tang Muzhou sighed in his heart and said, "Do you really want to know?"

Xie Mingzhe nodded: "Yes."

Tang Muzhou put his hand on Xie Mingzhe's shoulder and said seriously, "You can really help me catch this person."

Xie Mingzhe smiled and said, "Really? I can be your advisor and help you look up information together."

Tang Muzhou said: "Don't bother, just nod your head and agree."

Xie Mingzhe was stunned: "Agree to what?"

Tang Muzhou's eyes were gentle, and his voice was extremely warm: "Agree that I can pursue you."

Xie Mingzhe: “???”

Tang Muzhou chuckled, stretched out his hand, rubbed his head, and said, "You don't feel it at all, are you the one I like?"

Xie Mingzhe was confused: "???"

This dream is too bizarre and too shameless. Who will wake him up?

The author has something to say:

Tang Muzhou doesn't want to wait any longer, so he turns the heat up high:)
