Song Xuanhe thought this would be the ultimate embarrassment.
Unexpectedly, it was even more embarrassing, because when he pressed the button, Zhou Nan's voice just ended, so the words echoed strongly again, as if with a 3D surround effect, rotating only around him and Xiao Yuanmu who were looking at each other.
After the voice message ended, the huge VIP waiting room fell into a strange and awkward silence.
Song Xuanhe looked at Xiao Yuanmu.
Xiao Yuanmu looked at Song Xuanhe.
The two of them just stared at each other, one pretending to be calm, the other expressionless, the scene was very awkward.
The phone was still buzzing. Zhou Nan hadn't received a reply, so she had been bombarding Song Xuanhe, sending voice and text messages alternately, spitting and accusing him at the same time. It was unknown which palace drama had influenced her, but she not only called herself Noble Lady Nan, but also called Xiao Shenglin Noble Concubine Lin, the queen of Xiao Yuanmu. It was like a palace fighting drama.
The worst and most dissolute one among them is naturally the "Emperor" Song Xuanhe.
In his peripheral vision, Song Xuanhe could see messages flashing on his phone screen one after another. He could no longer hold back his calm expression. He quickly turned off the screen and laughed dryly: "Zhou Nan has been watching too many palace dramas with Aunt Zhou recently, hahahaha."
Xiao Yuanmu's pupils turned slightly, looking at Song Xuanhe's smirking expression, and said lightly: "Your Majesty?"
Song Xuanhe coughed. Seeing Xiao Yuanmu's expressionless face saying these two words, he felt inexplicably ashamed. At the same time, he felt a chill on his back. He continued to laugh dryly: "Hahaha, Zhou Nan is just joking."
Xiao Yuanmu half-closed his eyes, moved a little closer, and whispered, "How many concubines does the emperor have in his harem?"
Song Xuanhe didn't know whether Xiao Yuanmu asked this casually or with some deeper meaning. Anyway, when he looked at Xiao Yuanmu's long, straight eyelashes that looked like they could prick someone's eyes, he felt that he definitely had bad intentions.
"Not even one." Song Xuanhe glanced at Xiao Yuanmu's raised eyes and quickly changed his words: "Except for the queen, there are no concubines."
Xiao Yuanmu seemed to curl his lips slightly, then retreated to his original position. At the same time, Zhang Chao's voice and the reminder of early boarding in the VIP lounge sounded: "Young Master, Young Master Xiao, we are ready to board the plane."
Song Xuanhe felt that the oppressive force that had just surrounded him disappeared in an instant. When he turned to look at Zhang Chao, he caught a glimpse of Xiao Yuanmu's calm face. His chin, which had just been slightly retracted, was raised. With the unique pride of a second-generation rich man, he walked towards Zhang Chao with his chest out and his back straight.
[Brother, I find you are very powerful. 】
Song Xuanhe had just sat down and raised his hand to refuse the welcome drink brought by the flight attendant when he heard the system say this.
[What’s so great about it?] Song Xuanhe glanced at himself and saw that there was at least one and a half meters distance between him and Xiao Yuanmu, and his tone of answer was relaxed.
[In your human words, it means being able to bend and stretch! The system's rough voice was full of admiration: [I found that every time the boss's mood index is high, you act arrogantly, and when the boss's mood index is low, you immediately give in. You know the situation very well! What a hero! 】
Song Xuanhe: …
[Does your system have a Chinese teacher?] Song Xuanhe said expressionlessly: [I think your Chinese is not very good. You need to download a new database. Is this how you use "domineering" and "submitting defeat"? What I just did is called seeking benefits and avoiding harm. This is the most outstanding skill that has allowed humans to survive and stand at the top of the food chain. Do you understand? 】
The system was silent for a while, and then whispered: [Actually, I have something I want to tell you. I didn’t tell you before because I wasn’t sure. Although I’m still not sure now, I still think I should tell you. 】
Hearing the tone of the system, Song Xuanhe felt that nothing good was going to happen.
So, he ruthlessly refused to listen: [I don’t want to know. 】
[You really don’t want to know? 】The system was very shocked. After all, this matter was of great importance, so it couldn't help but say one more sentence, trying to arouse Song Xuanhe's interest: [I think your intuition is very accurate. Do you remember that you were not afraid of Xiao Yuanmu before? It's just recently that you started to become a coward. Don't you want to know why? 】
However, Song Xuanhe remained unmoved, and said in a short and firm tone: [I don't want to. 】
The system sighed and said: [Okay, I'll tell you after I'm sure. 】
After saying that, the system seemed to want to say something else, but when it saw that Song Xuanhe had closed his eyes and looked like he was about to fall asleep, it finally stopped talking.
The flight time from the imperial capital to Blue City was less than an hour. The plane landed soon and Song Xuanhe woke up when he heard Zhang Chao's call.
He slept for almost three hours in the car and on the plane. This time he finally got enough sleep. Although he was a little confused when he opened his eyes, he quickly woke up.
There were already people waiting outside the airport, and they were quickly taken to the nearest hotel to the port.
Zhang Chao booked a two-bedroom presidential suite because Song Xuanhe had previously emphasized that he and Xiao Yuanmu must live in two rooms. Although Zhang Chao didn't quite understand why couples had to live separately, he was not the type to inquire too much about the host's private affairs, so he quickly got the matter done.
In addition to two master bedrooms in the presidential suite, there are several bedrooms prepared for entourage, so Zhang Chao also lived here, but his room was a bit far from Song Xuanhe and Xiao Yuanmu's rooms.
The presidential suite was equipped with a special butler. The middle-aged butler in a tuxedo led them in, carefully placed the wine, fruit plates and hot towels, and then asked Zhang Chao in a gentle voice about the living habits and taboos of the two hosts, before politely retreating to the reception room.
Although Song Xuanhe had had enough sleep, he was exhausted from the long journey and the cruise ship would not be docking soon, so he was too lazy to go out for more. He went into his bedroom, took a shower, and then lay on the bed playing with his cell phone.
Zhou Nan's message had been sent to 99+, during which Xiao Shenglin also replied a few words. The two chatted and laughed, and instantly agreed on the evening's activities, which was to go to the casino on the third floor of the cruise ship to play a few games.
Song Xuanhe felt that Zhou Nan was definitely unlucky for him today. If he searched for some zodiac sign, he might find that Zhou Nan was his biggest taboo today.
However, Young Master Song, who lost nine times out of ten in gambling, couldn't help but feel a little itchy when he heard that he was going to have some fun.
So he opened the horoscope, opened the Gemini horoscope for today, scanned it thoroughly, and found that the overall fortune was very average, so he looked at it carefully again.
However, after reading a short paragraph, I became a little impatient. It said that Gemini's luck in all aspects is not very good, but the luck in love is the strongest, with five stars in total. Below the five stars it said that Gemini will meet true love in the early second half of this year, and that person will be his soul mate for life. Today is an overall improvement point for love luck, and the two will have intimate behavior, which they need to cherish and grasp. It is obviously made up and has no reference value at all.
Song Xuanhe frowned and patiently scrolled down, reading through the ten lines at a glance, and finally saw a taboo for today:
Taboo: If traveling, Gemini is best to avoid traveling with Cancer partners, especially men.
Song Xuanhe raised his eyebrows, opened WeChat and contacted Zhou Nan.
I am the most handsome man in the world: What is your zodiac sign?
The other side replied immediately, Dad is the most handsome man in the world: What? [I'm so panicked.jpg]
Dad is the most handsome man in the world: It can’t be that even the forest can’t satisfy you, so you have your eyes on me, your brother!
I am the most handsome man in the world: Will you walk the red carpet at the Oscars next year?
Dad is the most handsome man in the world: Forget it, I retired a long time ago. It’s embarrassing to snatch the red carpet away from the newlyweds. When the media takes pictures of me, my fans will squeeze me so hard that I can’t walk, and public opinion will say that I’m dominating the red carpet.
Dad is the most handsome man in the world: [Auntie flirtatiously flips her hair and winks.jpg]
Seeing this eye-catching emoticon, Song Xuanhe deeply felt that he was wrong. He shouldn't have given Zhou Nan a drop of paint, which made him want to fly into the sky and use the atmosphere as a canvas.
I am the most handsome man in the world: Shut up, zodiac sign.
Dad is the most handsome man in the world: You don’t even know my zodiac sign, what a fake brotherhood, what a playboy and ungrateful man!
Song Xuanhe took a deep breath patiently, opened his eyes and blocked Zhou Nan at the same time.
After blocking the person, I instantly felt refreshed, my chest no longer felt stuffy, and even my typing fingers became more flexible.
He opened Xiao Shenglin's WeChat and asked: Do you know Zhou Nan's zodiac sign?
Xiao Shenglin also replied quickly. Deep in the forest, he heard the sound of the flute: His birthday is June 22, so he should be a Cancer.
Song Xuanhe looked at the horoscope on the screen and felt that the horoscope was somewhat accurate. He replied with a thank you and chatted for a few more words before putting down the phone.
After resting for a while, Zhang Chao knocked on the door to remind Song Xuan, Song Guochao and his wife, and Song Xuanlin that they had arrived, and asked him if he wanted to change clothes and have dinner with them.
Song Xuanhe naturally would not go. He waited until almost eight o'clock, then slowly went to the cloakroom to change his clothes, and waited outside for Xiao Yuanmu to come out.
"What clothes did you prepare for Xiao Yuanmu?"
While waiting, Song Xuanhe asked casually.
Before Zhang Chao opened his mouth, Xiao Yuanmu had already opened the door.
Xiao Yuanmu had broad shoulders and long legs, and he was naturally very eye-catching in his well-tailored suit. Even Song Xuanhe, who had long been accustomed to his appearance, couldn't help but brighten her eyes, and then she realized something was wrong.
"This suit..." Song Xuanhe looked down at his suit and said, "Is it from the same series as mine?"
Zhang Chao nodded, his expression serious: "Your and Young Master Xiao's suits are both XX's latest ready-to-wear this season. These two suits are very suitable for your and Young Master Xiao's temperament."
One is black and the other is white, which really suits them. He looks sunny and cheerful, while Xiao Yuanmu looks calm and deep.
But who wants to wear couple outfits with Xiao Yuanmu?
This is indeed a series, but in a world where same-sex marriage is legal, apart from brothers, it is almost universally recognized that only couples would wear the same series of clothing. Wouldn't Song Guochao be pissed off when he appears with Xiao Yuanmu like this?
Song Xuanhe's eyes lit up. He originally wanted to change his clothes, but he immediately changed his mind. He patted Zhang Chao's shoulder with satisfaction and said, "Not bad."
When Song Xuanhe and Xiao Yuanmu appeared on the cruise ship, they indeed attracted a lot of attention. In addition to their outstanding appearance, there were more speculations about their identities.
Ignoring other people's gazes, Song Xuanhe went straight to the second floor. The entire second floor was an entertainment area. Zhou Nan and Xiao Shenglin who had already arrived should be here.
However, just as they walked up to the second floor and before their feet stepped into the carpeted hall, they heard a charming voice. The owner of the voice walked straight towards them and finally stopped in front of Xiao Yuanmu.
"Sir, can I ask for your phone number?"
The girl's eyes were very bright, and her pink cheeks made her look very cute, at least Song Xuanhe thought she was pretty cute.
However, Xiao Yuanmu didn't even blink. He stretched out his hand to the side, pulled Song Xuanhe over to him, and said calmly, "I have a boyfriend."
Song Xuanhe also thought of his role at this time, nodded, and said lightly: "He doesn't like women."
The girl glared at him and pouted, "Then my brother is more handsome than you and a better match for you and this gentleman!"
Song Xuanhe wanted to say that he should be given to his brother, but he could only sneer and said, "It's not up to you to decide whether he is suitable or not."
After saying that, he raised his eyebrows and glanced at a group of young boys and girls in gorgeous clothes not far away, and said, "Watch out for people when playing games, otherwise don't cry if you lose."
The girl opened her eyes wide, her face instantly turned red, and her tone became weaker: "How did you know?"
"Brother has played more tricks than you have played any games." Song Xuanhe curled his lips, pulled Xiao Yuanmu's hand away, held his hand from the outside, and said, "Okay, go play by yourself."
The girl looked at Song Xuanhe hesitantly and whispered, "Why don't you give me your contact information? I don't think you're too ugly, and you're a little bit handsome."
Song Xuanhe's mouth twitched, and he was about to speak, but before he could open his mouth, Xiao Yuanmu pulled him to the other side, leaving the little girl far behind.
After walking for an unknown distance, Song Xuanhe let go of Xiao Yuanmu's hand and took out a room card and gave it to him: "My friend and I have an appointment to drink together. The room is on the sixth floor. You can go up by yourself."
Xiao Yuanmu looked at him expressionlessly, took the room card and turned to leave.
Song Xuanhe pursed her lips as she looked at Xiao Yuanmu's back, then thought about the purpose of coming to the cruise today, clicked her tongue in annoyance, and turned to walk towards the bar next to the deck.
It was just past eight o'clock and the passengers of the cruise ship had just arrived. Most of them gathered in the banquet hall on the first floor or went straight to the auction hall on the third floor, so there were not many people in the bar at this time. Song Xuanhe saw Zhou Nan as soon as he entered.
He looked around and asked, "Where's Lin Zi?"
Zhou Nan raised his chin while holding a glass of cocktail. "Over there, he was entangled by that girl as soon as he came up. I don't know which girl she is from."
Song Xuanhe looked in the direction of his sight and saw Xiao Shenglin talking to a pretty girl who had a sweet smile and was very pretty.
"That girl has just come of age, right?" Song Xuanhe glanced at her, then looked away and said, "She doesn't look very young."
"Yes." Zhou Nan clicked his tongue twice and said, "This guy usually looks righteous, but he doesn't even let little girls go.
A waiter in a vest bowed and handed Song Xuan the drink menu. He glanced at it casually and ordered a lower-concentration wine that he usually drank. The waiter leaned over and agreed, but did not leave.
The waiter stood close to him. Song Xuanhe frowned slightly and turned his head to ask, "Anything else?"
The handsome boy in the vest pursed his lips and said, "Second Master, don't you recognize me?"
Song Xuanhe was puzzled and asked, "I should know you?"
The little boy's eyes instantly turned red, and he choked up and said no. After looking at him hesitantly, he put away the drink menu and turned to leave.
"Who is this?" Song Xuanhe was a little puzzled.
Zhou Nan sneered: "You don't even recognize your former lover?"
Song Xuanhe was stunned, and carefully recalled the face under the dim light that only showed fair skin and regular features. He did not find anything in his memory, and did not think about it anymore. He stretched his legs and smiled lazily, "I have many lovers, how can I know them all?"
Zhou Nan cursed with a smile, then said seriously: "This man is not even as good as Xiao Yuanmu's fingernails, don't go back to him again."
Song Xuanhe knew that Zhou Nan and Xiao Shenglin both thought that he and Xiao Yuanmu were a good match, so he simply stopped talking and just asked, "Do you know that guy?"
"Pretend, keep pretending." Zhou Nan rolled his eyes at him and said, "Do you really think you have three thousand concubines and you can forget about them after you have favored them? After all, this guy cheated you out of twenty million."
Song Xuanhe finally found some clues from her memory and said, "Is this my boyfriend from college? Didn't he graduate from a prestigious university? Why is he working as a waiter here?"
Calling them waiters is actually a nice word. Most of the young boys and girls who work in the service areas of a cruise ship are default priced waiters, which means they are very aware that they are also one of the cargoes of this cruise ship.
"This kid likes gambling so much, 20 million is not enough for him to spend." Zhou Nan sneered disdainfully, "Only you, a fool, have so much money and you can't wait to give it to him."
Even if they have a good family background and are not short of tens of millions, the money can be used in different ways. If it is used for investment or study, no one in the family will complain, but if it is used to support a lover, then that is something only a prodigal would do.
People outside the circle always say that a certain rich young man spends tens of millions to buy a car and a house for his lover. In fact, there are very few such people in the real second-generation circle, because they have to learn financial management and investment since childhood, and they know very well how to make the best use of every penny. How could they lose the favor of their elders and become the laughing stock of their peers for a little gadget to relieve boredom?
This isn't just the second-generation rich showing off their wealth, this is the nouveau riche squandering their money.
Zhou Nan had always kept his distance from Song Xuanhe before, not only because he liked to hang out with a bunch of prodigals who were high-minded but incompetent and had nothing to do except to flatter and fawn on others, but also because he was very annoyed to see him squandering money like a nouveau riche.
But Song Xuanhe has changed since he got together with Xiao Yuanmu. He welcomes this change, which is more in line with his environment, so he tries to get closer to him slowly. After spending some time together, he finds that he is no longer as stupid as before, and Zhou Nan finally accepts him.
So, when Zhou Nan saw the little boy at this time, he instantly became a little alert. If Song Xuanhe was bewitched by the little boy again, it would be like returning to the time before liberation overnight.
Thinking of this, Zhou Nan carefully looked at Song Xuanhe's expression, ready to come up with countermeasures immediately if anything went wrong.
Song Xuanhe didn't even look at the waiter. He was indeed surprised when he learned that the original owner had spent 20 million on the little boy, but strictly speaking it was not his money, and even the little boy was not someone he knew, so he didn't care.
However, Song Xuanhe's indifference doesn't mean that the little boy has no intention of hooking up with her again.
Not long after, he came over with a glass of wine. He bent down and faced Song Xuanhe's direction. His pale face came close to his eyes. He lowered his eyebrows and said in a pleasing manner, "Second Young Master, this is the wine you ordered. I remember that you like mangoes very much. The kitchen has some that were airlifted in this morning. I just peeled the skin for you and cut them into pieces."
Song Xuanhe glanced at Mango, and before he could say anything, Zhou Nan said, "Okay, go over there by yourself. No one told you not to come over."
The little boy looked at Song Xuanhe aggrievedly. Song Xuanhe naturally didn't think of letting him stay. Just as he was about to open his mouth to ask him to leave, he saw Xiao Shenglin coming over with the pretty little girl.
When she saw them, she smiled and said, "This is my cousin, Xiao Ranyun. She came here with her parents today. She was bored so she came to see me. Is it okay for her to sit with us for a while?"
Zhou Nan and Song Xuanhe naturally had no objection. Zhou Nan said, "Sit down. Since she is Lin Zi's sister, she is my sister. Order whatever you want to drink. The fruits here are good. The mangoes on the plate have just been peeled. I heard they were shipped in this morning. You can have some."
Xiao Ranyun smiled and nodded, and sat down opposite Song Xuanhe with Xiao Shenglin, saying, "Thank you, Brother Zhou Nan, and Brother Xuanhe, but I don't eat mangoes. We are allergic to mangoes. I can eat other fruits."
Xiao Shenglin said gently: "I just introduced you to her."
Zhou Nan nodded in understanding and said, "In that case, no one will eat mangoes at this table. Let's leave."
The little boy looked at Song Xuanhe with red eyes, hoping that Song Xuanhe would say something for him. He remembered that Song Xuanhe liked to eat mangoes the most, and he liked to eat the mangoes cut by him the most, because he was always very careful when cutting mangoes, avoiding the fibers of the core and leaving only the flesh.
Song Xuanhe naturally couldn't understand the little boy's grievance, he waved his hand lightly: "No one ordered this, you can take it."
Zhou Nan heaved a sigh of relief when she saw that he had no feelings for the boy and put down her hand that was on the screen ready to send a message.
Seeing that no one spoke to him, the little boy picked up the fruit plate and left aggrievedly. Zhou Nan frowned as he looked at his back: "You better be firm in your thoughts. This kid even thought that Xiao Yuanmu..."
"Not even as good as a fingernail, I get it." Song Xuanhe interrupted him to prevent him from continuing, and said loyally: "I will never fall in love with anyone else, I only like Xiao Yuan and Mu Cheng."
Zhou Nan took his hand off the voice message, sent it out with a smile, and said with satisfaction: "Xiao Yuanmu received it."
Song Xuanhe took a sip of the wine that had just been served. He didn't quite hear what Zhou Nan said, and said, "If you don't know, you would think you are from Xiao Yuanmu's family. What is it about him that makes you like him so much? And what about me that makes you feel like you'd cheat if you looked at someone else for even a second?"
After he finished speaking, he realized it belatedly and almost spit out the wine he had just drunk. He swallowed it and coughed until his eyes turned red before he asked in a hoarse voice, "What did Xiao Yuanmu receive?"
