Chapter 285 You don't actually like men, do you?!
Jian Yan pointed to room 1002, his eyes showing a hint of surprise but his tone conveying an unspoken understanding: "My dormitory is right here."
Chen Chu peeked in, intending to feign surprise, but upon meeting Jian Yan's bright eyes, he nodded: "I know..."
I moved here because you are here.
Chen Ci had already pushed the door open and entered, but seeing the two of them frozen at the door, he turned back and said, "Jian Yan, we're having hot pot today, let's eat together."
After a brief hesitation, Chen Ci secretly pinched Chen Chu, who then snapped back to reality: "Let's have one. It's a hot pot with two broths, we'll eat the spicy one and Chen Ci can eat the non-spicy one. Chen Ci bought a lot of food, enough for us to eat together."
Chen Ci: "..."
Who told you to say these things?
Don't you know how to invite a girl to dinner?
Seeing the same smile on two identical faces, Jian Yan paused for a moment and said, "Okay, then I'll go back and change my clothes first."
Chen Chu's eyes quickly lit up with joy, and he nodded, "Okay, then Aci and I will prepare the ingredients and wait for you to come over."
"Okay." Jian Yan nodded and turned to go to room 1002.
Chen Chu stood at the door the whole time, watching Jian Yan go home and then watching her door close, still looking like he hadn't had enough.
Chen Ci looked at his wife-waiting expression and smiled to herself, "Alright, come in, she'll be here in a bit."
Chen Chu then closed the door, picked up his cane from the doorway, and walked inside, his tone still a little uneasy: "What if she doesn't come?"
"Don't worry, I'll drag it here for you, okay?"
Chen Chu scratched his head: "Hmm."
Chen Ci chuckled and carried the ingredients straight into the kitchen, deftly unpacking and washing them with clean, elegant movements.
Chen Chuli stood at the door for a while, then suddenly asked, "You really don't like it?"
Chen Ci turned to look at him: "What?"
Chen Chu paused slightly, then uttered two words that seemed to carry immense weight: "Simple."
Chen Ci chuckled softly, then looked away and continued washing the vegetables meticulously: "When have we ever liked the same things?"
“Simply put, it’s not like longevity noodles that you can just give away.” Chen Chu took a step forward, his tone serious: “What I need is fair competition.”
Chen Ci scooped out the washed spinach one by one and placed them on a plate, a smile playing on his lips: "Then I'll tell you very seriously, I don't like Jian Yan."
"I want to hear the truth." Chen Chu frowned slightly. "If you didn't even try to fight for it and just gave it to me as a favor, then I..."
“Brother!” Chen Ci interrupted him, a serious look appearing in his eyes: “It’s not charity. I’ve never given anything away. I’m telling the truth. I don’t like her.”
Chen Chu remained silent for a long while, a hint of resentment in his eyes: "Why?"
Chen Ci tapped his forehead helplessly with his wet fingers: "What exactly do you want me to say to satisfy you?"
Chen Chu stared at him: "Then who do you like? Don't tell me you've never had a crush at your age."
Stared at by his deep eyes, Chen Ci lowered his gaze to avoid them, deftly cutting off the ends of the enoki mushrooms as he placed them in a basin to wash, his tone indifferent: "They've been tampered with, but that's impossible."
"who?"
"Brother," Chen Ci smiled helplessly, "Can't I have some secrets of my own?"
Chen Chu's mind flashed through the girls who had appeared around Chen Ci, comparing them one by one and then eliminating them one by one. Finally, he hissed and said in a very low voice, "You don't actually like men, do you?"
