Chapter 27027 Brother "Xiao Xiu"
Yu Zeyuan made his attitude clear, his tone resolute, "I'd never like you if I liked anyone else."
"I, I hate you!"
Lin Wei's mentality completely collapsed. She suddenly stood up from her seat, picked up the handbag next to her, turned around and left.
"stop."
Lin Wei paused and a look of joy appeared on her face. It seemed that Brother Aze didn't care about me so much.
She turned around with a hint of anticipation, only to see Yu Zeyuan leaning back in his chair with his arms folded across his chest. His chin slightly raised, his gaze sweeping over the untouched dishes on the table. "Eat what you ordered first, then leave."
Lin Wei's face flushed crimson, and she angrily said, "If you want to eat it, eat it yourself!"
This time, she really didn't look back and walked out of the hot pot restaurant in high heels.

Xue Yi endured the discomfort and finished her last speech. The dull pain in her lower abdomen intensified. Just as she sat down, her phone vibrated. It was a voice message from Liu Shuang.
Yiyi, Li Xiu just complained to me about a new employee who didn't show up for work this afternoon without a word. She called to check on him, and he just casually said he was feeling unwell and needed to take a leave of absence. How could anyone have such a mess on their first day? Li Xiu, as a supervisor, must be feeling really frustrated.
Xue Yi clutched her cramping abdomen and replied, "Let's not meddle in other people's business. You'll be in a group with Yu Zeyuan tomorrow, so please help out."
After a while, Liu Shuang sent a 60-second voice message: [Oh, I'll help you even if you don't ask! Who wouldn't want to take care of such a handsome brother?
It's a pity that I'm already taken. You don't know that half of the single women in our company are eyeing him! Now, another lover has appeared!
Yiyi, you've been with him for so many days, don't you have any thoughts? I see you haven't had a boyfriend in the past few years since you came to the company. Sister-brother relationships are so popular now! Do you want me to help you find a partner?
Xue Yi only replied with two short words: [No need.]
She raised her head and said to Wang Wei, "Brother Wang, you guys go back to the company first. I feel uncomfortable today, so I'll go home directly."
"Okay, be safe."
Xue Yi opened the taxi app and called a ride-hailing car.
The first day of the menstrual period is the most painful time. She doesn't like taking painkillers and usually just endures it, but this month the pain is particularly severe. She almost couldn't stand while giving a speech several times.
When she got home, she rushed into the bathroom to change her sanitary napkin. After that, she thought of the presence of a new member of the opposite sex in the house, so she took out a stack of tissues to cover herself before coming out.
She walked to the living room, leaning against the wall, and wanted to make herself a cup of brown sugar water. Looking at the empty box, she had no choice but to take a cup of hot water. Just after taking a few sips, the doorbell rang.
It seems that I need to give him a key to the front door next time.
Xue Yi walked to the door with difficulty and opened it.
Yu Zeyuan stood outside the door, holding two heavy plastic takeaway boxes in his hands, from which the faint aroma of hot pot wafted.
The hot pot meal at noon cost him over 600 yuan, and he didn't eat a single bite! He was already short of money, and now it was even worse. In order to avoid wasting money, he had no choice but to pack up and take the food home.
Xue Yi frowned slightly: "Are you going to eat hot pot at home?"
Yu Zeyuan was holding back his anger and said unhappily, "Is it not possible?"
"It's not that I can't," Xue Yi said, trying to suppress the pain in her stomach, her voice a little weak, "It's just that the smell is too strong and hard to get rid of, and the oil stains are hard to clean up..."
He interrupted impatiently: "Don't worry, I will clean it up."
Xue Yi felt another sharp pain in her lower abdomen. She didn't have the energy to argue anymore. She glanced at Xiao Yudian lying in the doghouse, bit her lower lip and said, "Can you do me a favor?"
"What's the matter?"
Yu Zeyuan had just changed into his slippers when his eyes fell on Xue Yi's face. He realized that she was pale, her lips were bloodless, and she looked so weak that she looked like she would collapse at any moment. Recalling that she was like this in the elevator at noon, he couldn't help but reveal a bit of worry in his tone, "Are you sick?"
Xue Yi frowned and said weakly: "No, can you help me walk Xiao Yudian for a while, half an hour will be enough."
When Little Raindrop heard his name, he excitedly jumped out of the doghouse, wagging his tail and circling around their legs.
Yu Zeyuan was still worried, "Don't be stubborn, go to the hospital if you feel uncomfortable."
She waved her hand, "It's okay, it's just those few days every month."
Yu Zeyuan was stunned for a second, then he made an uneasy "oh", his ears slightly reddened, and put his shoes back on. "Alright."
He put a new leash on Xiao Yudian and was about to go out.
"Wait..." Xue Yi handed him a piece of waste newspaper, "Use this to pick up its excrement."
Yu Zeyuan's body stiffened, his eyes fixed on the newspaper, and he slowly reached out to take it.
When he reached the elevator, he looked at the innocent-looking little raindrop at his feet, his eyes growing colder. He had actually fallen to the point of picking up dog poop?!
The little raindrop seemed to sense his dissatisfaction and walked around the garden downstairs for more than ten times, sniffing here and there. Finally, it raised its legs under a tree and symbolically squeezed out a few drops of urine.
Forty minutes had passed and Yu Zeyuan was obviously getting impatient. He stood on the side of the road with a frown on his face, exuding a cold aura.
"Handsome guy, your dog is so cute! What breed is it?"
"Local dog."
"I also want to raise a puppy! But I don't know how to take care of it. Can I add you on WeChat and ask you for advice?"
"Sorry, this is not my dog."
"Then we can get to know each other and make friends."
"Sorry, I don't have my phone with me."
In just half an hour, this was the fourth girl who had borrowed the dog to chat up.
Yu Zeyuan stared at it with angry eyes. Perhaps it was the powerful will that took effect. Xiao Yudian raised his butt and defecated several large lumps of yellow excrement.
A foul stench hit my nose.
Yu Zeyuan held his breath, half-knelt, pinched the edge of the newspaper with two fingers in disgust, and rolled it up randomly. The warm and soft touch gave him goose bumps. He suppressed the discomfort in his stomach and threw it into the trash can as quickly as possible.
When he got home, he threw a bag of things on the coffee table, then hurried into the bathroom, turned on the faucet and washed his hands. Once was not enough, he washed them three times.
Xue Yi curled up on the sofa, his eyes attracted by the unexpected bag. He reached out and opened it, revealing a box of brown sugar ginger tea.
She pursed her lips and touched the box with her fingertips. A warm current flowed through her heart and slowly permeated her limbs.
Yu Zeyuan came out of the bathroom and saw the box of ginger tea in Xue Yi's hand. His eyes wandered for a moment, and he pretended to explain casually, "I was just walking my dog and passed by a convenience store. There was a sale at the door, so I picked up a box."
"Oh." Xue Yi responded.
?
that's all?
Yu Zeyuan felt an inexplicable blockage in his chest. He picked up the two take-out boxes angrily and strode towards the kitchen.
To prevent him from making another mess in the kitchen, Xue Yi got up and followed him.
The warm yellow light shone on his tall and straight profile, and his soft black hair glowed with a warm luster under the light.
Who says only women are gentle when cooking?
A man's focused look is also attractive.
She leaned against the door frame, watching the busy figures in the kitchen, and couldn't help but remind them: "There's too much food in a bowl, the pot is on top."
The sudden sound behind him startled Yu Zeyuan and made his hands tremble.
He turned around and saw Xue Yi standing on tiptoe, struggling to reach the stainless steel pot in the upper cabinet, her slender arms stretched straight.
Yu Zeyuan walked over, put his arm over her head, and took the pot down easily.
Xue Yi turned her head and her eyes met his dark eyes. Her dazed look was reflected in his clear pupils.
Yu Zeyuan suddenly realized that although Xue Yi seemed calm and independent, she was actually very thin, and he could hold her in his arms with just a slight squeeze of his arms.
As soon as this thought came to his mind, his breathing stopped.
Xue Yi coughed lightly, looked away, and reminded: "If the fire continues to burn, the bottom of the pot will burn."
"oh."
Yu Zeyuan's Adam's apple rolled up and down, he turned around quickly, and turned off the fire on the stove in a panic.
Xue Yi looked at his back, breathed a sigh of relief, gently pressed one hand on her chest to suppress her pounding heartbeat, and quickly walked out of the kitchen.
That moment just now was so dangerous that I was almost mesmerized by his eyes. Fortunately, I have enough self-control.
While adjusting his mood, Yu Zeyuan walked into the living room carrying a steaming hot pot and was about to put it on the coffee table -
"Wait!" She exclaimed softly, quickly pulling out a thick magazine from the side and putting it underneath. "Okay, put it down."
The rich aroma of hot pot constantly hits the taste buds. During the special period of menstruation, the appetite is always ridiculously good, and my stomach immediately makes a rumbling protest.
An embarrassed blush flashed across Xue Yi's face.
Yu Zeyuan took an extra set of bowls and chopsticks from the kitchen and said dryly, "I can't finish it by myself, please help share some."
Xue Yi looked at his attempt to hide his true intentions, and couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth slightly, "Alright."
Fortunately, the soup base is not too spicy, just acceptable, and there are really a lot of dishes, not to mention two people, it is more than enough for four people.
She was eating enthusiastically when a deep voice came from above her head, "Is it delicious?"
"good."
"Don't you have anything else to say?"
Xue Yi raised his head, frowned in pretended confusion, then suddenly realized, "Thank you for the hot pot."
“…”
This was not what he wanted to hear. Just as he was about to put down his chopsticks, he heard again -
"Also," Xue Yi's voice was sincere, "thank you... for the brown sugar ginger tea."
“…”
Not this one either!
Yu Zeyuan's expression became increasingly ugly.
Xue Yi took in the changes in his expression and smiled.
Of course she knew what he was expecting, but she couldn't help but want to tease him.
Just when Yu Zeyuan was about to give up, he suddenly heard——
"I heard that your 'old love' didn't come to work this afternoon?"
He raised his eyes suddenly, leaned back in his chair pretentiously, and put on a nonchalant attitude, "Really? I don't know, and she's not my ex-girlfriend."
Xue Yi followed his words and asked, "What is that?"
"She's just a sister who grew up with me."
"Oh, little Qingmei!"
As he spoke, he observed Xue Yi's expression. Seeing that her expression remained unchanged, he felt even more frustrated. "I told you she's just my sister!"
Xue Yi was full by now. She put down her chopsticks, picked up her empty bowl and chopsticks, and stood up. As she passed by Yu Zeyuan, she lowered her voice and said, "Then I'll trouble you, my brother, to tell her that she is not allowed to wander around during working hours!"
Yu Zeyuan half lowered his head, motionless, and after a while he uttered a low "hmm".
He didn't hear a word Xue Yi said next.
The word "brother" kept repeating in my ears.
The voice was soft and clear, like a feather gently caressing the tip of his heart, more beautiful than anything he had ever heard before.
