Love at First Sight 1
"Brother Wen Ji, why did you fall asleep?" A lively male voice sounded, and Xie Wen Ji nodded suddenly, waking up from the chaos.
He opened his eyes and saw a familiar yet unfamiliar face in front of him.
"Zhou...Yao?"
"Brother? You? Are you really sleepy?" From Zhou Yao's perspective, Xie Wenji had suddenly panicked when they were discussing the fake engagement. Now that he had woken him up, he looked at him with a somewhat unfamiliar look. "If you're really sleepy, then go back and rest first. We'll discuss the other details next time."
Within two sentences, Xie Wenji had regained consciousness and quickly looked around.
This is not the real world!
This was a private room in a high-end hotel in the city where he was born, but he was clearly in Country F and had not been back for seven years.
The Zhou Yao in front of him was not real either. Although Zhou Yao was a few years younger than him, he should be a 27-year-old young man now. But the person in front of him still looked very young and didn't look like a man in his twenties at all.
Xie Wenji held his forehead and murmured in a daze, "Why did I dream about this? Why can't I even dream about... Zhou Xiao..."
Zhou Yao:?
What did he say?
Zhou Yao asked again uncertainly, "Brother Xie? What did you say? You..." He hesitated, "Do you know Zhou Xiao?"
Xie Wenji didn't want to pay attention to him. He took out his mobile phone and wanted to look through the photo album to see the painting that he had not been able to give away.
Then he took out his cell phone and was stunned. Even if it was a dream, it didn't have to follow such logic, right?
His cell phone was a model from eight years ago, and when he looked through the photo album, not a single one of his treasured photos was left!
You know, ever since Zhou Xiao died in the riot eight years ago, he has specially created a photo album related to him. No matter how many times he changes devices, he will copy the pictures in the album as soon as possible.
Zhou Xiao and he had been together for too short a time, so they didn't have any photos together. So Xie Wenjie retrieved the surveillance footage near the apartment and copied down any footage that showed Zhou Xiao.
There are also Zhou Xiao’s old photos, the headshots on the school’s honor wall, and the pictures of Zhou Xiao in the campus forum that were all downloaded.
The house Zhou Xiao had lived in, the flowers he had prepared for Zhou Xiao, everything, was recorded in the cloud online, becoming the spiritual medicine that helped him get through the past seven years...
But now, everything is gone!
"This must be a nightmare..." Xie Wenji said in a trance, then suddenly stood up, pushed open the door and rushed out.
"Thank you, Brother?" Zhou Yao immediately chased after him.
When Xie Wenji stumbled into the lobby, a lobby manager recognized him and greeted him flatteringly, "Mr. Xie, how can I help you?"
Xie Wenji turned around and saw the large floor-to-ceiling glass behind him.
It was already dark outside, and the glass window had become a reflective mirror, reflecting his youthful appearance...
A strange vortex seemed to appear in his eyes, trying to mess up this crazy world and pull it in.
"how……"
Xie Wenji took a half step back and suddenly realized that this might not be a nightmare!
The dream eight years ago...it was a beautiful dream!
"Brother Xie, are you okay?" Zhou Yao chased after him and patted his shoulder from behind.
Xie Wenji looked at the surrounding environment, then looked at Zhou Yao, and remembered everything!
This was the time when he and Zhou Yao discussed pretending to be a couple, and he didn't even know Zhou Xiao yet!
Now, no matter whether everything in front of him was real or a dream, Xie Wenji had only one thought - to see Zhou Xiao!
"Take me to your house!" Xie Wenji grabbed Zhou Yao and dragged him to the garage without saying a word.
Zhou Yao was stunned, but did not resist.
After getting on the bus, Xie Wenji planned the route and suddenly paused.
"What's wrong?" Zhou Yao was fastening his seat belt, and when he saw him turn off the engine again, he was a little confused.
Xie Wenji thought for a moment, then turned and looked at Zhou Yao seriously. "Zhou Yao, I think we can try a different way to cooperate."
Zhou Yao:?
Xie Wenji asked, "How about I become your brother-in-law? Is this a close enough relationship? Is it enough to be considered as a bargaining chip for an alliance?"
Zhou Yao: ???
Zhou Yao, "No, Brother Xie, do you know my brother?"
Xie Wenji remained calm and said, "I know her. She's my future wife."
Zhou Yao: ?????
Although Zhou Yao had a lot of questions in his mind, the relationship between him and Xie Wenjie was mainly dominated by Xie Wenjie. He was the one who needed to look up to the other, so naturally he had no right to make any demands.
He nodded indifferently. Cooperation is cooperation, as long as the prince is happy.
As for his brother...
Zhou Yao sighed silently in his heart. He had actually been planning to find a reliable person to send Zhou Xiao over. Zhou Xiao was a blank slate and was not suitable for their circle of intrigue and deception.
Moreover, people like Zhou Xiao are too easy to be targeted by dirty things.
This is the nature of a charmer, he can attract anything, but the consequences of attracting good people and attracting bad people are different.
Normal people, no matter how much they like someone, will not do anything excessive.
But those with dark hearts have no scruples.
So since he was very young, Zhou Xiao has often been surrounded by perverts.
Later, he listened to himself and dressed himself in a more old-fashioned way, and the situation gradually improved.
The person Zhou Yao originally wanted to see was Wu Shengxue. He had a good family background and good character, and he could protect Zhou Xiao without being too mean to him.
...Xie Wenji is a good candidate. I didn’t consider him before because his reputation was too bad.
Now that Zhou Yao and Xie Wenji have formed an alliance, he also knows that those rumors are just a disguise to deceive people, and he actually has some respect for him in his heart.
In short, I'll just observe him a little longer. Although I, as his younger brother, have no blood relationship with him, but... who can escape the physique of a heartthrob?
All I can say is that his rationality still prevails.
Xie Wenji was very formal. He bought a lot of gifts, filling up the trunk of his car, and also bought a bouquet of flowers... He saw clearly at the time that this guy wanted to buy red roses, but after hesitating for a while, he changed his mind and decided to buy roses, still white, mixed with some hyacinths.
The white rose speaks of pure and everlasting love, while the hyacinth represents loyalty, admiration, and joy.
I really didn't expect that although Xie Wenji appears to be a playboy, he is actually a person who pursues pure love in his heart.
Xie Wenjie didn't know what Zhou Yao was thinking. If he knew, he would definitely deny this statement.
He wasn't looking for pure love either. He liked Zhou Xiao and wanted to do unspeakable things with him, preferably in every corner of the room...
Of course, that's on the premise that they have confirmed their relationship.
He still remembered how difficult it was to get into bed with Zhou Xiao when he and Zhou Yao were in a fake relationship.
Since this dream happened before he and Zhou Xiao met, he planned to proceed step by step this time and approach the other party with a clean identity.
After hearing this, Zhou Yao was almost speechless. "Brother Xie, your current identity isn't exactly clean. What are people saying about you out there? Don't you have any idea?"
Under normal circumstances, Zhou Yao would not have dared to tease Xie Wenjie like this, but Xie Wenjie had just been talking to him about how to pursue his brother, and as he was talking, he started to laugh and looked very happy, so Zhou Yao dared to say this.
Xie Wenji, “…”
He was silent.
This dream was too real. Why did he have to inherit even his old memories?
As soon as this thought flashed through his mind, Xie Wenjie suddenly had an epiphany and realized something.
His breathing was a little rapid, and he wanted to see Zhou Xiao even more urgently.
Xie Wenji reached out and pressed his heart. The feeling of his heart beating was real, it wasn't fake... It was impossible to have such a realistic dream.
In fact, he should have reacted earlier, but he subconsciously avoided it before, fearing that if he guessed wrong, he would not even be able to keep the dream.
The car stopped at Zhou's underground garage. When Xie Wenjie was supposed to get out, he stopped moving again.
Zhou Yao had to remind him again.
"Brother Wen Ji? We're here."
Xie Wenji came back to his senses, "Don't call me so intimately, to avoid misunderstandings."
The corner of Zhou Yao's mouth twitched, and he thought that this 'someone else' was probably referring to Zhou Xiao... He didn't expect that Mr. Xie, who looked so unrestrained, was actually quite thoughtful. Zhou Yao had thought that Xie Wenji would be someone that no one could control.
"Okay, Xie brother, why don't you get out of the car?"
Zhou Yao readily changed his words.
Xie Wenji's expression was extremely serious. He asked, "Tell me, has your brother heard of those rumors about me?"
If it was just a dream, Xie Wenjie certainly wouldn't consider it so seriously.
Zhou Yao now began to wonder whether he could gain any benefits by cooperating with Xie Wenjie... Why did he feel that this person was not very smart?
"Brother Xie, is there a possibility that even if my brother didn't know before, after you officially met, he would find out through other channels?" Even if Zhou Xiao was naive, he would still find out about the kind of people he was interacting with, right? She wasn't some innocent heroine in an old romance novel, indifferent to everything else, with only love in her eyes...
Xie Wenjie also knew that his idea was a bit whimsical.
He pulled Zhou Yao, "Then you...you can help me say something nice in front of him. Just say that I did that to confuse the outside world."
Xie Wenji thought about it, and remembered Zhou Yao's original purpose when he approached him. He decisively and generously promised, "Don't you want to participate in the cross-border line in Beicheng? Then I will give you the responsibility of the entire line."
Zhou Yao: !!
Even though it was just a promise made to him, Zhou Yao really wanted to take a bite of it!
After discussing these trivial matters, the two got out of the car one after the other. Xie Wenji instructed Zhou Yao to move the pile of things he bought out of the car, while he stood aside and smoked.
Smoking can ease his current nervous mood.
At this moment, the door from the garage to the basement clicked open and was pulled open from the inside. The figure that Xie Wenji had been thinking about appeared at the door. "Ayao, are you back? I heard Xiaoqi calling out."
Xiaoqi is a small local dog raised by the Zhou family. Now it is circling around Zhou Yao's feet with its tail wagging Xuan'er.
Zhou Xiao was not wearing glasses, so he couldn't see Zhou Yao's position for a moment. He just stared at the man smoking next to him.
Xie Wenji was so shocked by his gaze that he trembled for a moment. After coming to his senses, he immediately threw away the cigarette in his hand, strode to the trunk, pushed aside the people who were originally standing there, and took out the bundle of words he had prepared.
"Brother." Zhou Yao responded to Zhou Xiao at this time.
Zhou Xiao was stunned for a moment, then walked over and asked, "You brought your friends back?"
Before Zhou Yao could say anything, Xie Wenji had already stuffed the flowers into Zhou Xiao's arms.
"Hello, I'm Xie Wenji, and I fell in love with you...at first sight!"
