Chapter 72 Love
For a moment, everyone in the seats looked at each other, and the atmosphere became a little awkward.
If number 10 was any man, there would not be the current embarrassing situation.
After all, they just heard that Kan Zhao has a girlfriend...
Seeing the smile on Kan Zhao's face disappear, the air pressure around him dropped a little.
Someone who was on good terms with the king quietly tugged at her sleeve under the table, asking her not to go too far.
However, the King girl seemed determined to bring them together and remained unmoved by any dissuasion. She even raised her chin and said half-jokingly, "Hey, none of our Le Yao girls said anything. We just stared at each other for a minute. Senior Kan Zhao wouldn't be so embarrassed by this, right?"
These words were meant to provoke someone.
Are you sick?
Are you sick???
Are you sick???!!!!
Lu Dai hadn't expected this guy to be so difficult. His forehead was practically sweating with anxiety. He'd finally managed to organize this team-building event, and just as the atmosphere was warming up, this incident happened. And the woman in question just sat there, unwilling to give in. Couldn't he tell she was already taken? His feelings for Le Yao had even dipped.
Although Qiao Yang lived abroad, his social skills were exceptional. He often joined a five-person group from Kan Zhao's dorm. Lu Dai and Zhang You had often heard him mention Kan Zhao's past achievements.
Knowing that Kan Zhao was giving him face by not getting angry, Lu Dai tried to smooth things over by laughing it off.
Quite annoying.
The rules of the King's Game are simple. If you lose, you either obey the rules or drink alcohol as punishment.
Everyone saw Kan Zhao stand up and pick up the unopened beer on the table.
The pull tab was pulled open, and the sound, which was not loud, was particularly clear in the box filled with singing.
He tilted his head back, his Adam's apple rolling as he drank the liquid in one gulp.
The empty can was placed back on the table with a soft thud.
Kan Zhao threw the car keys in his pocket to Lu Dai at the opposite table.
"You set up this," Kan Zhao said in a flat voice, motioning towards Lu Dai, "You'll be responsible for cleaning it up. Drive the car back for me."
Drink alcohol, otherwise you will be driving under the influence.
His patience running out, Kan Zhao grabbed the coat beside him. He nodded slightly to the others and said, "I'm leaving now."
After thinking for a while, he said, "I'm worried about my girlfriend being home alone."
It is an explanation and also a final notice.

After Kan Zhao pushed the door and left the box, it was a long time before someone inside seemed to react and spoke.
"Is this... living together?!!!"
This sentence exploded in the box. Everyone's eyes widened, and even the music couldn't drown out the accompanying gasps.
Tonight's gossip is more explosive than the last.
The information contained in the sentence "I've always liked you" hasn't been fully digested yet, and the word "living together" has pushed everyone's speculation to the peak.
In fact, after the previous incident, the atmosphere had already become extremely awkward, and no one really had much desire to continue playing. Kan Zhao's departure seemed to have drained away the last bit of strength that maintained superficial harmony.
The door of the box was tightly closed, blocking out Kan Zhao's departing figure. Originally, considering Kan Zhao's presence, they hadn't dared to ask Lu Dai and the others some questions in front of him. But now that the protagonist was gone, their suppressed curiosity was stirring, and they gathered around Lu Dai in groups of three or two, asking a series of questions:
"Boss, what's going on?"
"Is Senior Kan Zhao really living with someone? When did this happen?"
"Who is his girlfriend? Do we know each other?"
"You must know the inside story, reveal it!"
…
Le Yao lowered her head, her fingers clutching the hem of her skirt.

The sensor light in the entrance hall lights up.
Kan Zhao pressed his fingerprint to unlock the door, pushed it open, and rarely did he see the yellow life form guarding the door.
The sound of movie dialogue could be heard faintly from the living room, which was particularly clear in the quiet night. Kan Zhao changed his shoes and walked into the house.
There was only a warm yellow floor lamp on in the living room, and the light was dim.
The light and shadow on the TV screen flickered, and Kan Zhao saw the figure on the sofa at a glance.
Lin Qingxu lay on her side, eyes closed, probably asleep. Her body was slightly curled up, a sleeping position that subconsciously reflected a lack of security.
Kan Zhao walked closer with light steps.
At this time, Jin Yuanbao, who was originally quietly sleeping and dozing beside Lin Qingxu, raised his head.
Seeing that it was Kan Zhao, it, contrary to its usual behavior, snorted in disdain, almost inaudibly, and then turned around arrogantly, pointing its furry, round butt at Kan Zhao.
Kan Zhao ignored Jin Yuanbao's sudden emotion, picked him up by the scruff of the neck, and threw him to the sofa not far away.
The sofa was quite soft. Jin Yuanbao bounced twice on it and then lay on it sulking, leaving only his butt still facing Kan Zhao.
Kan Zhao ignored it.
He bent down, carefully passed his arms across Lin Qingxu's knees and back, and prepared to pick her up and carry her back to the bedroom.
During the movement, Lin Qingxu's eyelashes trembled and he opened his eyes sleepily.
In the dim light, she made out the outline of the person in front of her. Her voice was thick with sleepiness: "You're back?"
"Yeah." Kan Zhao responded in a low voice, holding her up steadily in his arms.
Lin Qingxu subconsciously put her arms around his neck, rested her head on his shoulder, rubbed it slightly, and complained in a half-asleep voice: "You came back so late..."
"It was a club building event, but it suddenly turned into someone else's birthday party." Kan Zhao carried her to the bedroom and explained softly.
"Hmm..." Lin Qingxu seemed to have heard clearly, but also seemed not to have, as her warm breath brushed against his neck. Then, she adjusted to a more comfortable position, her cheek pressed against the side of Kan Zhao's neck, and her breathing quickly became even and long again.
I just lay on him and fell asleep peacefully again.
Kan Zhao felt the warmth and weight on his neck, and the noise in his heart brought back from the party was completely soothed, turning into a soft tranquility.
He carefully adjusted his posture, holding his whole world, and walked towards the bedroom.

The next morning.
Kan Zhao didn't get up early, but he woke up especially early that day.
Wash the clothes and hang them out to dry.
I went downstairs for another morning run. My energy seemed to be particularly strong every day.
I bought some things along the way.
It's breakfast time for Jin Yuanbao.
After Kan Zhao returned, he put the things in the kitchen and then added food to Jin Yuanbao.
Jin Yuanbao seemed to have changed his personality. Normally, when Kan Zhao put out cat food, Jin Yuanbao would eat it like a pig, grunting and chomping, afraid that others would snatch it away.
This time, it just glanced at the cat bowl arrogantly, then turned around resolutely, facing Kan Zhao with its round butt, and its tail impatiently slapped the ground.
——If you do something wrong, you will realize it yourself.
Jin Yuanbao told Kan Zhao through his actions.
But the expression was too abstract, Kan Zhao didn't understand what it meant, and stroked its fur twice.
Feeling that Kan Zhao had no remorse at all and was still touching it without any hesitation, although it was very comfortable, Jin Yuanbao resolutely kicked his legs and nimbly jumped a short distance away, still pointing his butt towards him to express his protest.
Kan Zhao didn't care about Jin Yuanbao anymore. He went to the kitchen to cut the pickled lean meat into shreds, crush the preserved eggs, and cook porridge.
Jin Yuanbao and his cat played with a ball of yarn. Then, he sniffed and smelled the delicious aroma of food. His stomach rumbled at an inopportune moment, and for a moment, Jin Yuanbao looked at the overflowing cat bowl and fell into a trance.
-----------------------
The author has something to say: It's mainly because Ms. Fang taught him to respect women from a young age that Kan Zhao didn't directly lash out at his roommate. If the other person was a man, he would at least call him an idiot. Furthermore, Le Yao and her roommates only targeted him, not Lin Qingxu, so they stayed within their bounds.
Jin Yuanbao - A cat who only cares about Lin Qingxu. Knowing that it was Kan Zhao who made Lin Qingxu sad, he got angry and decided to unilaterally go into a cold war with Kan Zhao, but unfortunately, he didn't care much.
