Buy a house to make dating easier?

There are so many flaws in this sentence that Chu Xiu doesn't know where to start.

Let’s not talk about how much money it would be a waste to just casually buy a house here. Let’s just talk about the date. They are not a couple, so isn’t it strange to use the word “date”?

The wind was howling outside and it was freezing cold, so Chu Xiu did not argue back and just let him lead her into the house. After they were inside the warm room, Chu Xiu took off her coat and prepared to have a serious discussion with him about the word choice.

However, Lu Yuanzhou didn't wait for her to speak and took her all the way to the dining table, where a sumptuous dinner was already placed, which looked still steaming hot.

Chu Xiu let go of his hand, walked forward and around the table, looked up at him in surprise, and asked, "Did you do all this?"

After Lu Yuanzhou took off his coat, he was wearing a brown turtleneck sweater underneath. The sweater was a bit slim-fitting, making it easy to see his perfect figure.

He leaned casually against the table and said boldly, "Yes."

Chu Xiu pointed at a braised fish dish and asked, "How is this made? What are the steps?"

Mainland China: …

Even though his lie was exposed, he was not panicked and said nonchalantly: "Auntie left after she finished. I don't know the steps either."

Chu Xiu glared at him.

Lu Yuanzhou sat down on the chair, patted the seat next to him, and said, "Come and sit here."

The table was rectangular, and the two of them were standing on opposite sides. Chu Xiu pulled out the chair in front of her and said, "I'll just sit here."

Lu Yuanzhou frowned and insisted, "Sit here."

Chu Xiu ignored him and decisively sat down in the seat she had chosen, smiling and saying, "I think this seat is great." After saying that, she found it funny again and didn't understand why when two people met, they would become so childish that they would even fight over a seat.

Seeing her sit down, Lu Yuanzhou didn't say anything. He just stood up, walked over, sat down next to her, and looked at her smugly.

"Childish." Chu Xiu said.

Lu Yuanzhou choked a bit, but also found it funny. He shook his head, picked up his chopsticks and said, "Let's eat first."

Chu Xiu picked up a bowl of steaming soup and drank a few sips to warm herself up. Then she remembered the topic at the beginning and asked him, "What do you mean by date?"

Lu Yuanzhou picked up a large shrimp and peeled it slowly, saying, "It means exactly what it says."

Chu Xiu frowned, "Don't you think it's weird to use this word?"

He peeled the shrimps quickly and was dipping them in sauce. Chu Xiu looked at the shrimps eagerly, then picked up the small plate and motioned for him to give her the shrimps first as she didn't want to get her hands dirty.

Lu Yuanzhou turned to look at her, "Is it weird for us to date?"

After saying this, he ignored her eager look, opened his mouth, and swallowed the prawn in one bite.

Chu Xiu: ...

"Why are you like this?" Chu Xiu pretended to annoy him, "I asked you for it, but you still refused to give it to me."

Lu Yuanzhou picked up a hot towel beside him and wiped his hands. He sighed and said, "Since you don't think we are on a date, why should I serve you?"

Chu Xiu glared, "Don't you know what gentlemanly manners are?!"

Lu Yuanzhou wiped his hands, picked up another prawn and continued peeling it, saying sarcastically, "Didn't you just say I was childish? I'm childish, so how can I be a gentleman?"

Chu Xiu: ...

Lu Yuanzhou quickly peeled another one, dipped it in sauce, and ate it in no hurry. He turned around and asked her, "Do you want to eat?"

Chu Xiu nodded, picked up the plate, and said with a smile, "Thank you."

Lu Yuanzhou said: "No."

Chu Xiu took a deep breath, put down the plate, and said, "If you don't want me to give it to you, forget it. I have my own hands to peel it!" Then she started to roll up her sleeves. She originally just wanted to try something new, but his teasing aroused her temper.

Seeing that she was furious, Lu Yuanzhou quickly put the shrimp on her plate and said, "Here you go."

Chu Xiu snorted lightly.

"You are so difficult to please." said Lu Yuanzhou.

Chu Xiu said, "You are so disgusted, and yet you still want to date me?"

Lu Yuanzhou said: "There is no other way. After much thought, you are the only one who is more suitable."

Chu Xiu looked at him with amusement and said, "You don't have to force yourself."

Lu Yuanzhou suddenly sat up straight and said seriously: "No, I'm not forcing myself. I think you're pretty good, and you're different from other women. If I were to fall in love with you, I think I could do it."

Chu Xiu had already picked up the peeled shrimp, but when she heard this, her hands trembled and the shrimp instantly fell back into the plate. She opened her mouth and looked at him in disbelief, "You just said, you're in love?"

Lu Yuanzhou nodded.

Chu Xiu said: "I remember you said before that you don't need love in your life. Now you are ready to talk to me about love?"

Isn't this a slap in the face?

Lu Yuanzhou said: "I didn't think it through before, but recently I think it would be nice to have a relationship with you."

She has a hard time catching this straight ball.

"Where...where is good?" she asked.

Lu Yuanzhou thought for a moment and said, "It's very comfortable to be with you. When you are by my side, I won't have a headache or insomnia. It feels good to hold your hand."

Chu Xiu's heart, which had been pounding at first, soon calmed down. After all, the main reason was that she could relieve his headaches and insomnia.

Chu Xiu thought with some disappointment that this kind of love was not true love at all, and she didn't know what she was expecting.

Seeing her suddenly calm expression, Lu Yuanzhou asked curiously, "What's your reaction?"

Chu Xiu picked up the almost cold shrimp, stuffed it into her mouth and chewed it randomly before saying, "No reaction. You want to fall in love with me, but I don't want to fall in love with you. That's it."

Lu Yuanzhou thought that was indeed the case. Before coming to Xicheng, Dong Dongjian had analyzed with him that not all women were easy to pursue, and Chu Xiu should be one of the more difficult ones. Fortunately, they had a five-year agreement before them, so there was no need to worry even if they were rejected. After all, they still had more than four years to slowly polish her relationship.

Thinking of this, Lu Yuanzhou breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Let's not talk about this for now and eat."

Chu Xiu: ...

Isn't this person's reaction right? How can he be so calm after being rejected?

According to his personality, shouldn't he blush and get angry immediately?

Chu Xiu was puzzled and finally gave up. She really didn't want to continue this topic.

That night, the two people who were not lovers naturally slept in the same bed, covered with a quilt and chatted. Before falling asleep, Lu Yuanzhou told her that he would stay in Xicheng for a few days as there was a business exchange meeting he had to attend, and he hoped Chu Xiu would stay there for the next few days.

"When I'm not here, you can also stay here. It's very close to the film and television city and it will be more comfortable than a hotel," he said.

"Did you buy this house just so I could live comfortably?" she asked him.

Lu Yuanzhou did not answer but asked: "Then will you come and stay?"

Chu Xiu did not give an immediate answer. She was quite happy when she saw Lu Yuanzhou in the evening, but after listening to what he said during dinner, she could no longer be happy.

She turned around and lay with her back to Lu Yuanzhou, and quietly reached out to cover her heart. She was clearly the one who rejected Lu Yuanzhou's love, but why did she still feel uncomfortable? What was she feeling uncomfortable about? !

Although Chu Xiu did not explicitly agree to Lu Yuanzhou's decision to live in the villa, she did not refuse as long as Lu Yuanzhou drove to pick her up. When facing Lu Yuanzhou, her attitude was still the same as before, not too cold or too warm, but the intimacy that she cultivated during the New Year holiday had faded a lot.

On the third night of Lu Yuanzhou's arrival in Xicheng, his friends set up a drinking party and invited Lu Yuanzhou. Lu Yuanzhou asked Chu Xiu if she could finish the filming early and accompany him.

Chu Xiu didn't have an important role that day, so after hesitating for a moment, she agreed.

The drinking party was organized by a few bigwigs in the West City business circle. After Chu Xiu went there, she found out that among the few people, only Lu Yuanzhou brought a companion, and the others went alone.

Chu Xiu was quite puzzled at first, thinking that it was unnecessary for Lu Yuanzhou to bring her here. She didn't know anything about business, so she would just be used as a vase.

When the banquet was about to start, another person came hurriedly, and Chu Xiu finally understood why Lu Yuanzhou brought her here.

The boss who was almost late was a big boss of a real estate company. She was very young, less than 30 years old. The most important thing was that she was a woman, a very beautiful woman.

She was wearing a fiery red suit that showed off her hot body, with delicate makeup and fiery red lips on her face. She looked very handsome and charming.

As soon as she arrived, she apologized to several other friends, saying that there was a traffic jam on the road. She then apologized specifically to Lu Yuanzhou and raised her glass to clink glasses with Lu Yuanzhou.

The female boss's seat was assigned to Lu Yuanzhou's left, while Chu Xiu sat to Lu Yuanzhou's right. There were only two women at the table, and both sat next to Lu Yuanzhou.

There was no need to ask, Chu Xiu knew what this meant.

The female boss was holding a glass of wine and talking wittily. She could chat with anyone and it was obvious that she was used to big occasions. Others also listened to her and kept chatting enthusiastically, but the topic always turned to Lu Yuanzhou in the end, intentionally or unintentionally.

Chu Xiu sat aside, eating quietly and listening to their conversation. She was a very conspicuous person, but the female boss seemed not to notice her. She chatted with everyone but didn't even glance at Chu Xiu.

Lu Yuanzhou listened to his friends talking, occasionally interjecting a few words. Seeing Chu Xiu eating obediently, he just curled his lips and did not disturb her.

After three rounds of drinking, a boss raised his glass and toasted everyone. He came to Lu Yuanzhou and wanted to clink glasses with Chu Xiu. However, before Chu Xiu reached out to take her glass, Lu Yuanzhou's hand held the glass. He said with a smile, "Don't force her to drink. She doesn't know how to drink."

Chu Xiu thought that maybe I could drink better than you, but since Lu Yuanzhou said so, she didn't refute him.

The toasting person refused to stop, saying that everyone here had to drink today and no special treatment could be given. "

Lu Yuanzhou raised his eyebrows and said to him, "She is mine. If I say you can't force her to drink, then you can't force her to drink. But you can pour your wine here and I'll drink it."

The boss immediately laughed and said, "Okay, you are awesome, we will get you drunk!"

The female boss sat nearby and watched Lu Yuanzhou drink two cups of wine. Her half-smiley eyes accidentally swept over Chu Xiu's face. Then she smiled at Chu Xiu as if she had discovered a new Lu: "Aren't you that star? I've seen you on TV, but I can't remember what you played. I don't usually pay much attention to these things."

Chu Xiu smiled and didn't respond.

The female boss added: "I heard that celebrities have a lot of dinner parties, so they should be able to drink a lot."

Chu Xiu said, "That's just what you heard. I usually keep a strict schedule at home. Not only do I rarely have dinner parties, I also rarely drink."

The female boss looked surprised and said, "That's interesting. You don't look young, so why is your family so strict?"

Chu Xiu blinked and said innocently, "I'm not sure about this either. Why don't you ask Yuanzhou?"

Female boss: ...

Smart people understand things quickly.

Although Lu Yuanzhou was a little tipsy after drinking a few glasses of wine, he could still hear clearly what the two women were talking about. At the end, he couldn't help laughing and said to the female boss, "Boss Ke, you know that the entertainment industry is chaotic and you have to be careful. That's why I usually don't let her go to drinking parties. Don't you always laugh at me for being a loner? It's a rare opportunity for us to get together, so I brought this leader from my family to meet you."

Chu Xiu chuckled after hearing this and said, "It's obviously me who is being led."

The two showed their affection in a low-key and meaningful way, which immediately stunned all the bosses present.

When Lu Yuanzhou brought Chu Xiu in, he didn't introduce them in detail, and the two didn't seem to be very close, so no one paid much attention to it. Today's drinking party, without saying it openly, everyone tacitly assumed that it was to facilitate Mr. Ke. Mr. Ke from West City likes Mr. Lu from South City, and everyone in the business circle knows it.

The situation was originally going well, but unexpectedly, Lu Yuanzhou used a big move in the end, catching everyone present off guard.

Mr. Ke's smile almost disappeared. The boss who had just toasted was quite straightforward. After being surprised, he immediately asked Lu Yuanzhou: "Is this person of yours a real leader?"

Lu Yuanzhou looked back at the obedient woman beside him, then said to the boss, "It's been certified by the Civil Affairs Bureau. Do you think it's true?"

The boss gasped and said, "That couldn't be more true."

Mr. Ke could no longer laugh and asked Lu Yuanzhou: "When did this happen? Why didn't we hear about it?"

Lu Yuanzhou said: "She is shy and doesn't want it to be made public."

Chu Xiu smiled on the surface, but couldn't help but curse in her heart: Cunning!

After the meal, it can’t be said that the guests enjoyed it very much, but Lu Yuanzhou was in a good mood. Even when he got in the car, he still had a faint smile on his face.

Chu Xiu got into the back seat from the other side. As soon as she closed the door, she vaguely heard Lu Yuanzhou say something. She didn't hear it clearly, so she turned around and asked, "What did you say?"

Lu Yuanzhou rested one hand on the armrest and hooked his finger at her with the other hand, motioning her to come closer.

Chu Xiu curiously leaned over to listen, but unexpectedly her chin was pinched by Lu Yuanzhou, and her face was forced to turn towards him. Then, a kiss smelling of alcohol fell heavily on her lips.

This sudden and heavy kiss made Chu Xiu's eyes widen in disbelief. This was not the usual childish kiss, but the passionate kiss she had said she would teach him. When did this guy learn it!!!
