The Crematorium 6
"You won't let me in?" Xie Wenji reminded.
Zhou Xiao didn't feel that he needed to be delivered food, but he was not good at refusing people, especially not refusing other people's kindness.
So he stepped aside and let Xie Wenjie in.
"Make up for it." Xie Wenji said calmly.
The medicine that night was still very strong. Although he went to the hospital later to deal with the residual drug effects, it still caused some harm to the body. In addition to the ordeal last night, Xie Wenjie felt that it was reasonable to take some supplements.
Zhou Xiao glared at him.
Xie Wenji wanted to laugh again...the little blind man now dared to give him a bad look.
Zhou Xiao went to take the lunch box from Xie Wenjie's hand. Xie Wenjie handed it over and grabbed Zhou Xiao's suitcase with his other hand. It seemed as if the two of them had completed some strange ritual handover.
Zhou Xiao walked to the restaurant and took out the food in the lunch box.
The box has four layers, each layer consists of two semicircular deep plates, and at the bottom is a bowl of hot pot. There are five dishes and one soup in total. It is full and quite heavy.
However, the portions of these dishes are very delicate, enough for one person, and the quantity is large enough for a grown man.
Zhou Xiao glanced at Xie Wenji who was sitting opposite him and hesitated for a moment, "Have you eaten yet?"
Xie Wenji curled his eyes and said, "You have a conscience... I've eaten, you should eat now."
Zhou Xiao stopped being polite with him, as he was indeed very hungry.
Zhou Xiao took a few bites, and Xie Wenji watched him eat with his face propped up. "Is it delicious?"
"Yeah." Zhou Xiao was a little uncomfortable. He was not used to being stared at while eating, but the meal was delivered by Xie Wenjie, so he felt that he should not make any more requests and should answer the other party's questions politely.
"I did it." Xie Wenji said calmly.
"Hmm... cough cough..." Zhou Xiao suddenly sucked a big mouthful of soup into his throat and started coughing violently due to choking.
Xie Wenji quickly stood up and walked over to him, patting his back to calm him down, while offering a halfhearted apology. "How could you be so gullible? Blame me, blame me. I shouldn't have said such nonsense. Stop staring at me and drink some water..."
When Zhou Xiao calmed down and continued to eat, Xie Wenji continued to stare at him.
He really thinks it looks good!
Zhou Xiao was the person he fell in love with at first sight. Everything about him suited his taste. Even his twisted personality was interesting to Xie Wenjie.
If you like it, just watch it. He doesn't intend to put himself in a difficult position.
There was another way to not put yourself in a difficult position, and Xie Wenji immediately brought it up, using a tone that suggested discussing it with Zhou Xiao, "Ah Xiao, honey... can I be your boyfriend?"
Zhou Xiao paused with his chopsticks. Xie Wenji took a closer look and saw that the tips of his ears had turned red.
"Don't call me that, I, I don't want you to be my boyfriend." This is Zhou Yao's boyfriend, and he has already made a mistake once.
X knew that Xie Wenjie and Zhou Yao were a couple by agreement, but Zhou Xiao didn't know. When the blood rushed to his brain, his thinking became slow and many things were forgotten.
But when Zhou Xiao regained his consciousness, his rationality and morality returned, and he naturally could not accept such a relationship.
Xie Wenji had already planned to end the agreement with Zhou Yao, and didn't really consider the moral issues. "Why? I'm a good housewife, so what's wrong with that?"
Zhou Xiao regretted it even more, thinking that he shouldn't have provoked Xie Wenji. Bitterness filled his mouth, "It's my fault."
He is inferior, cowardly, and mediocre in every way...
Xie Wenji just thought it was an excuse to fool himself. After all, the Zhou Xiao in Xie Wenji's eyes was completely opposite to his self-perception.
After lunch, Xie Wenji put the suitcase back to his bedroom and asked if it was just a convenient thing to do.
Zhou Xiao acquiesced to his behavior and finally stayed.
He originally thought that since he lived in Xie Wenjie's apartment, he would have to face him day and night, but he didn't expect that after that day, Xie Wenjie disappeared for five days.
Of course, WeChat check-ins have not stopped.
This caused Zhou Xiao to feel a little internally consumed... He himself was a person who was extremely prone to internal consumption.
He always thought that perhaps, Xie Wenjie's novelty towards him had worn off, and he was being fickle just for fun, and when he had enough, he would return to his true love.
Zhou Yao is the one who can make him change his mind.
After thinking this way, Zhou Xiao became even more depressed. It turned out that men didn't cherish what they had... It was so annoying. Why did he have to think about this? He shouldn't have put his thoughts and attention on this person.
No matter how much Zhou Xiao resisted, he had to admit this - he seemed to care about Xie Wenjie very much.
This is actually quite normal, isn't it? Xie Wenji is tall and handsome, comes from a privileged family, has outstanding abilities, and possesses high emotional intelligence. He's easily liked by everyone, and there are always many people actively pursuing him.
And such a person said that he wanted to be his boyfriend and be with him.
It's hard not to be attracted to him since I have never been favored since I was a child, right?
Zhou Xiao comforted himself to be more open-minded, as this was indeed not something to be ashamed of.
Thinking of this, his mentality did indeed become much calmer... but he was just pretending.
After the system reported errors crazily last time, it seemed that something went wrong with the program. It no longer paid much attention to X's task progress, but was instead keen to talk to him.
System, [Host, are you okay?]
Zhou Xiao turned a page calmly, [Is there anything wrong with me?]
The system muttered, there was nothing wrong with it, it was just too much like 'Zhou Xiao', that kind of inner conflict and struggle, the gradual outburst of emotions, it was completely Zhou Xiao's personal style.
But 'X' is not Zhou Xiao. It does not recommend that the host be too obsessed with the emotions of the characters in the small world. Being too immersed in playing a role will always hurt the actor's spirit.
The system asked tentatively, "Are you really in love with Xie Wenji?"
[Is it not possible?]
Did they really bring it in? The system was a little worried, [But you are cannon fodder.]
cannon fodder.
X silently recited these two words.
[Don't worry, my mental strength is very strong, you should know that.]
The system was silent. It had to admit this... Perhaps, it should give its host a little more trust.
The other side.
Xie Wenjie is not really someone who "doesn't cherish what he has". His "alliance" with Zhou Yao is about to collapse, so he needs to make some preparations in advance and is extremely busy.
He has to deal with his 'boyfriend' while he's eating.
Zhou Yao came to him to reconnect with him, and Xie Wenjie thought it was a good opportunity to talk to him about breaking up peacefully.
"You want to break up with me? You don't want to cooperate with me anymore?" Zhou Yao asked with a smile, but there was not much surprise in his eyes.
"You can't cooperate without this relationship?" Xie Wenji was a little annoyed.
The answer is of course yes, but it is not that convenient. Some things can only be done in a more roundabout way, which will cause more trouble.
Zhou Yao shrugged. "Whatever you say. Anyway, I don't have that many brothers and sisters who want to trip me up or trample me into the mud. I only have this one brother who doesn't fight or compete with me. It's worry-free."
Speaking of this, Xie Wenji's eyes narrowed. "You texted Zhou Xiao last weekend to ask him out to the bar? Where did you go after that?"
"I'm drunk and unconscious." Zhou Yao played with his fingers with a nonchalant look.
"What happened next? He drank something tainted with alcohol and was admitted to the hospital. You proactively messaged him, but he disappeared afterwards, and you never looked for him... Zhou Yao, he's your brother. What on earth are you thinking?"
Xie Wenji was able to secure his position as the heir of the Xie family, so he was naturally very scheming. On the night Zhou Xiao was receiving an IV drip in the hospital, Xie Wenji checked on the bartender, but found nothing suspicious. The clues were cleared up very thoroughly. The person who was originally assigned to that room was indeed a drunkard who was greedy for beauty.
But that person was already drunk that night, and was just a shield. So, who was the real person who entered that room? If he hadn't happened to see the bartender helping Zhou Xiao in, who would have appeared in that room?
He was in a hurry to send Zhou Xiao to the hospital and did not continue to wait, so he was half an hour late. All the clues had been cleared away, leaving him without any trace.
But having no clues is also a clue.
Being able to do this to such an extent that he has no way to verify it shows that he has some ability, just like being able to count them by just counting on his fingers.
Finally, the person he suspected the most was Zhou Yao.
Zhou Yao still smiled innocently, looking as if he knew nothing about the world. "Brother Xie, what you said is serious."
"Zhou Xiao is my brother after all. How could I possibly harm him? I just feel that with a personality like my brother's, if there wasn't someone more assertive and aggressive, he might end up shrinking into his snail shell his entire life, living a lonely life. How pitiful that would be..."
It turned out that Zhou Yao sold the person out.
Xie Wenji stood up with a gloomy expression, turned around and left, "We're breaking up. Don't use my name to do anything in the future."
Zhou Yao was still very calm, "Xie bro, we are still a family."
Xie Wenji said, "If you are short of family, go do live streaming."
Zhou Yao chuckled, and Xie Wenji realized what he meant belatedly and cursed under his breath.
"Hold."
If you want to have a status with Zhou Xiao, you and Zhou Yao are indeed "still a family".
The first time Xie Wenji looked at Zhou Yao, he didn't look at him with admiration, but with a bit of disgust.
As soon as he got back, he posted a circle of friends, announcing that his relationship with Zhou Yao was over... Instantly, countless people sent messages of condolence, but Xie Wenji ignored any of them. Instead, he clicked on the chat box that was pinned to the top, looked at his avatar quietly for a while, and then sent a '1'.
When Zhou Xiao received his message, he would immediately see a new status with his profile picture on his Moments. Would he click on it?
In fact, Xie Wenjie was not very confident either.
He is such an arrogant and conceited man, but he still lacks confidence and feels uneasy in front of the person he likes... What if other friends on Zhou Xiao's side happened to post a status and pushed his post down?
What if he doesn't care what he posts?
Even if he saw it in time, what if he pretended not to see it? Should I continue to take the initiative? In this situation, is there really any point in him taking the initiative?
The result is nothing more than standing still.
Xie Wenji turned off the screen of his mobile phone, but there were still too many people who "cared about" him, and the messages never stopped.
But every time his phone vibrated, he couldn't help but take a look to see who it was.
In less than half an hour, he felt exhausted.
Annoyed, he went into the settings of his phone and changed the WeChat notification mode to not allow reminders.
However, as soon as he finished setting it up and logged out, he saw another small red dot with the number 6 on WeChat. Xie Wenji's heart skipped a beat, but he couldn't control his anticipation and clicked on it.
Next to the pinned chat box, a red number '1' is displayed.
Because there is only one message, you can see what the other party sent without clicking on it.
Xie Wenji didn't realize how happy his expression was. The corners of his mouth curled up unconsciously, and the fatigue on his face disappeared. His charming peach blossom eyes also flashed with a smile.
