Chapter 87
Have you seen the recent news?
Chu Wen's voice sounded somewhat cold and hard.
Stepping out of the hotel, a cool breeze swept over me. The person who was cold and aloof just a second ago leaned in the next, putting one arm around my shoulder and pulling up my coat with the other to shield me from the icy wind.
Chu Muchao nestled between the coat and the warm embrace, burying her head against him affectionately.
"I saw it; some of the news was really unexpected."
Chu Wen's voice softened considerably: "This is only what can be reported publicly. There are some things that can't be reported. Do you want to see more?"
Chu Muchao shook his head: "I won't watch it anymore. I'll know in the future."
Chu Wen stroked her soft, fluffy black hair and whispered.
“It’s not that we don’t trust you, nor do we want you to destroy your values and morals and become a bad person. You can be brave, you can uphold justice, and your parents and I will support you and protect you, but you shouldn’t venture into an unknown area alone.”
Chu Muchao lowered his eyes and said, "I understand."
Chu Wen patted her shoulder lightly, opened the car door for her, and said, "Get in."
Chu Muchao's gaze shifted upwards, landing on the hand resting on the doorframe. The well-defined fingers were slightly spread apart, and the veins on the back of the hand were faintly visible.
They've been in a cold war for quite a while now...
cough.
As Chu Muchao bent down to get into the car, his right hand swiftly reached across the back of that hand.
The soft, cool touch is fleeting.
Is this considered appeasing him?
Chu Wen withdrew his hand, placed his left hand on the back of his right hand, and stroked it thoughtfully.
Chu Muchao leaned over to look at him: "What are you doing? It's so cold. Get in the car quickly."
"Um."
Chu Wen got into the car, and his left hand naturally rested on her hand, which was hanging on her lap, and held it tightly in his palm.
The car headed onto an unfamiliar route.
After noticing this, Chu Muchao stole a glance at Chu Wen.
Chu Wen sat beside him, his back straight, his eyes indifferent to everything, as if he were calm and indifferent.
The more he acted this way, the more Chu Muchao could guess what he was thinking.
Realizing there was no way to avoid it today, Chu Muchao stopped struggling and pretended not to have noticed. He leaned back in the soft chair.
-
Just a few days ago, the living room was covered with withered roses; tonight, it's a sea of fresh, vibrant flowers.
Each rose petal was adorned with dewdrops, looking exquisite and vibrant.
The sea of flowers wasn't just spread throughout the living room and even the hallways of the bedrooms; different bouquets were also arranged on coffee tables, dining tables, and display cases.
Chu Muchao stood at the door, lost in thought for a moment.
As if he had made up his mind, he took the first step inside.
She could clearly feel that the hand holding hers, which had been tense the whole way, finally relaxed a little.
How could she possibly refuse someone like Chu Wen?
Chu Muchao walked into the sea of flowers and turned to look at Chu Wen.
Under the soft light, their eyes shone brightly, as if filled with starlight.
Chu Muchao was waiting for him to speak first.
However, Chu Wen simply stared intently at her, not looking away for a long time, and made no other move.
He suddenly took a deep breath, suppressing the surging emotions in his heart, and stepped forward to hug his girl tightly.
"Chao Chao, I like you. Will you accept me as your boyfriend?"
Chu Wen's deep, magnetic voice rang in my ears.
"Let me be your support, your backer, and your weapon."
"Brother!" Chu Muchao hurriedly interrupted him, "A boyfriend is a boyfriend. What you said afterward is not something a boyfriend should do!"
Chu Wen chuckled softly, slowly straightened up, and looked at her: "A boyfriend can do these things for you too. I know what you're afraid of, and I'm also afraid that I'll become a stumbling block for you, trapping you. I don't want to see you bound and imprisoned, so I'm willing to do these things for you."
Chu Muchao was stunned.
"So...you knew all along?"
"How could I not know? We've been together since we were little, no one knows you better than me."
Chu Wen cupped her face in his hands and leaned closer.
But the kiss landed on Chu Muchao's forehead.
"As long as I'm the one in the end, I'm willing to wait as long as you want. So what about you? Are you still afraid, still thinking of backing down?"
Chu Muchao lowered his eyes and placed his hands on the back of Chu Wen's hands.
She shook her head, then squinted and rubbed her face against his warm palm.
"From today onwards, you're officially my boyfriend."
"Thank you for your approval, boss."
Chu Wen smiled too, "I'm not going home tonight, okay?"
Chu Muchao looked up: "Why aren't you going home? What are you doing here? I didn't eat enough at the company's annual party."
"What do you want to eat? I'll make it for you," Chu Wen said. "I'll satisfy your stomach first, then I'll satisfy anything else."
"I want to eat the noodles my brother cooks, and I also want a fried egg!"
When it came to food, Chu Muchao's eyes lit up even more.
"I saw a video tutorial for making beef noodles today, wow, it looks so delicious! Brother, make it for me!"
Chu Wen's eyes curved into a smile, and his cold, sharp gaze transformed into a soft, warm light.
"good."
Chu Wen put on an apron and cooked the meal himself.
Chu Muchao stood beside him, holding a glass of warm water and watching.
She would reach out and touch Chu Wen's chest muscles one moment, and then poke his arm the next.
They ostensibly said, "Let's check if my brother has been lax."
Chu Wen chuckled: "You can have a detailed examination later."
"No, no..."
Chu Wen's kitchen was fully equipped with pots and pans, and the refrigerator was stocked with all kinds of ingredients.
It perfectly replicated the bowl of beef noodles that Chu Muchao had seen on social media earlier today.
After eating and drinking his fill, Chu Muchao rested for a while, then suddenly stared at Chu Wen with bright eyes.
Chu Wen raised an eyebrow: "What have you thought of now?"
Chu Muchao licked his lips: "You know, young people who've had their fill of sex... hehehe."
Chu Muchao pouted and approached step by step, the scents of forest grass and trees mingling with the sweet aroma of fruit.
Just as the ambiguous atmosphere was gradually building, Chu Wen suddenly spoke, his tone somewhat uncertain and self-doubting.
"Chao Chao, are you... implying I'm too old?"
"Huh?" Chu Muchao also began to doubt himself. "Weren't we flirting?"
-
In the end, Chu Muchao still managed to get to eat it.
At midnight, Chu Muchao lay on Chu Wen's strong chest, lazily enjoying the aftercare.
Chu Wen's steady breathing sounded like natural white noise, and her consciousness gradually became hazy.
Just as I was about to fall asleep, I heard Chu Wen's voice from above.
"Who is that purple-haired, non-mainstream guy?"
Chu Muchao: ?
【^-^? Do I have something to do tonight?】
Chu Muchao was instantly wide awake, sat up abruptly, and looked at Chu Wen.
The system's voice in her mind gave her an even more bizarre feeling, as if she were cheating on Chu Wen in front of him and making out with her boyfriend in front of her friends.
Chu Wen acted as if he hadn't said anything, calmly tucking the blanket around her and gently reminding her, "Don't catch a cold."
Chu Muchao tentatively asked, "Is it time to settle scores? Or how about we talk about the company first? I think there's a big villain in the company. At the annual meeting today, I noticed he was looking at me strangely. Brother, do you have any clues?"
“I’ll talk to Wu Mi tomorrow.” Chu Wen wasn’t led by the nose by Chu Muchao and asked, “Why did he come out of your hotel room?”
"Brother!" Chu Muchao said anxiously, "It's been several days, I don't remember! Maybe he saved me... maybe he helped me look up Su Qian's information!"
Chu Wen asked, "I don't know when you had a friend like this, where you met him, what his background is, and what your relationship is?"
Chu Muchao shouted in his mind: System! System! Can't you erase memories? Erase them quickly! Hurry, hurry, hurry!
【^-^ I'll try. Your magic doesn't work on him, and my magic might not be effective either.】
Chu Muchao: Never mind, just try! I can't make this up!
"Hmm? Chaochao, is this a difficult question to answer?"
Chu Wen's voice was clearly calm, but Chu Muchao felt a chill run down his spine.
What a fine Chu Wen!
I won't mention the previous points, and I won't involve her in the Cold War either.
Bringing up old grievances now is simply because she can't escape this situation no matter what!
That nasty thing!
"We met when I was studying abroad..." Chu Muchao's voice was very soft.
Chu Wen: "Is that so?"
Chu Muchao became even more nervous: "Yes, yes, he comes and goes without a trace. I don't know when he comes or where he is now. He's very busy. Otherwise, I would have introduced you to him. He even helped me find out who was secretly filming me and discovered a website that was secretly filming me."
Speaking of this, it seemed that he had found a direction to fabricate, and Chu Muchao became more and more confident as he spoke.
"You probably know that the police came to my company once, wanting to ask about this friend of mine and invite him to assist in the police investigation, but I couldn't provide any information and couldn't help you."
As he spoke, Chu Muchao's tone was somewhat helpless.
That seems plausible.
Chu Wen sneered: "So, you're just netizens who met online. You met someone online and then came into your room?"
Chu Muchao: Help!
Chu Muchao: System! Help me!!!
【alright. 】
As the system finished speaking, Chu Wen seemed to suddenly lose consciousness and fall into a deep sleep.
Chu Muchao sat down next to him and stared at him for a long time.
"Is he... asleep? In a coma? Are there any side effects?"
[Perhaps. The more curious he is about who I am, the greater the side effects will be, and the longer he will remain dormant.]
"Won't it hurt your body?"
【^-^No.】
Chu Muchao breathed a sigh of relief.
This way, there's no need to worry about how to explain things to Chu Wen anymore.
However, besides him, I also discovered that someone else had memories of me, which I also erased.
Chu Muchao: Who?
[^-^Where's your other good brother?]
Chu Muchao: That's sarcastic. Brother Qin Ye? How would he know?
I've suspected it for a long time. He was there at the bar that time; he saw me. But it's all over now. No one remembers me except you.
No one remembers her except her.
That sounds... a little sad.
