As soon as the second team leader entered, he saw Chen Yu and the flowers that had been placed in a vase on the dining table in the distance.
He touched his nose somewhat awkwardly, unsure of what to do. After all, pursuing someone was a rare thing for him, let alone for someone like him, the number two pursuer, to encounter the number one pursuer.
Chi Xia had calmed down now, and the awkwardness from before had dissipated. She put the flowers given by the second captain and Chen Yu's flowers into a vase, then smiled at the second captain and said, "Sit down."
The second captain, somewhat embarrassed, sat down opposite Chen Yu, and then the door rang again.
This time it was the third team leader. He didn't have any flowers, but he brought desserts. Apparently, he went to the canteen early this morning to watch the pastry chef make them.
Chi Xia still invited them into the house, then said "sit down" before going to the kitchen to get some sweets.
Now, suitors number one, two, and three are sitting in the living room, looking at each other in bewilderment.
Chen Yu suddenly chuckled softly, then said, "My premonition was right; we still have to queue."
Hearing his smile, the embarrassment on the faces of the second and third team leaders immediately disappeared. After all, even Chen Yu had come to queue up, so their actions were considered normal.
Ran Zhu was helping to distribute desserts in the kitchen when she saw Chi Xia looking completely at ease. She coughed lightly and whispered, "Sister Chi, are you really not waiting for your brother-in-law?"
Chi Xia paused in cutting the cake, then replied, "Why would I wait for him?"
Looking at her, Ran Zhu said cautiously, "Actually, I think my brother-in-law is quite pitiful. He clearly did nothing wrong, yet he ended up like this."
Hearing this, Chi Xia didn't even look up. She divided the cut cake into plates and said indifferently, "A person like him is destined to have endless romantic entanglements. It has nothing to do with whether he did anything wrong or not. He has fewer now, but he will have more in the future."
Ran Zhu nodded in deep agreement, then sighed deeply and said, "It's also troublesome when men are too outstanding."
Chi Xia smiled upon hearing this and patted her shoulder: "So now it seems that Chunli has good taste."
Ran Zhu and Chi Xia took the plates out. She was extremely embarrassed and kept her head down without saying a word.
Before Chi Xia came out, Chen Yu and the second and third captains had already chatted for a while. Instead of feeling awkward, they became closer. After all, among the many people who had designs on Chi Xia, the three of them were the ones who had both the desire and the courage to do so, and they acted quickly.
From another perspective, their teamwork is quite remarkable.
Chen Yu, as expected of someone in the entertainment industry, is incredibly tactful and has extremely high emotional intelligence. The topics he raises not only take everyone into consideration but also avoid mixing in any personal feelings or private matters. Chi Xia initially just went along with it, but as the conversation went on, she became somewhat interested, especially after the topic of whether the base would be moved to the city after the zombies were eliminated came up.
Ran Zhu was not so comfortable. Before the apocalypse, Chen Yu was her idol. Now that her idol was right in front of her and had become Chi Xia's suitor, her heart was wavering between Han Junche and Chen Yu.
Seeing her sitting alone and looking sullen, like a well-behaved student, Chen Yu threw several topics at her in a row.
Ran Zhu was extremely nervous, and no matter what Chen Yu said, she could only respond with "uh-huh," "ah," "oh," "okay," or "yes."
This prompted Chen Yu to touch his face and laugh, "Am I that scary? Did I frighten you like this?"
Upon hearing this, Ran Zhu blushed instantly and quickly shook her head, saying, "No, no, it's my fault."
Chen Yu smiled and said with a hint of implication, "It's good that I don't look too scary. After all, we might see each other often in the future, and I don't want to leave you with any bad impressions."
