Chapter 55 Sensitive Topics
On Sunday, Li Zimai rarely slept in. He got up early to make breakfast for Cheng Che. After he was ready, he went to the room to wake up his Cheche.
......
They had originally planned to have lunch together at noon, but because Li Zimai suddenly went into heat, they were delayed for a few hours and it was already four o'clock in the afternoon when they arrived at the winery.
Gu Wei came out to the door to pick up Li Zimai, and just saw him squatting outside the passenger seat to help Cheng Che adjust his trouser legs. He also lifted up the other's feet and looked at them for a few times, as if he was saying something.
Noticing someone coming, Cheng Che pushed Li Zimai away, calmed down, and got out of the car.
"Cheche, long time no see."
Li Zimai called him "my baby, my Cheche" every day in the group chat, and Gu Wei was so influenced by him that he almost started calling him "baby". Sure enough, Li Zimai stopped smiling and stared at Gu Wei, meaning, "Speak again."
Gu Wei acted as if he didn't see anything and continued to call out to Cheng Che: "Let's go, they are all waiting inside."
Cheng Che explained dryly, "...something happened unexpectedly this morning."
"Well, Zimai told us it's a studio project, right? Are you working with Teacher Zuoxuan?"
"Um."
The winery belongs to Zhou Xumao, who mainly operates in the wine industry. It is not open to the public and the surrounding area is not much developed. The environment is quite good. Although the wine sales are not good, the Zhou family still keeps it for Zhou Xumao as a resort.
After entering the hall, several people gathered there playing board games.
In addition to Zhou Xumao and his girlfriend Zhuang Kaiyue, there was also a man and a woman who were Li Zimai's high school classmates.
This was the third time Cheng Che met Zhou Xumao.
The first time in the bar, Li Zimai helped him out while Zhou Xumao was watching the fun.
The second time in the hotel, Li Zimai was drunk and he came to pick him up reluctantly, while Zhou Xumao was still watching the fun.
The third time is now, at the winery, Zhou Xumao is still watching the fun.
Li Zimai complained to Zhuang Kaiyue: "Can you please control your boyfriend? His eyes are about to fall on my baby."
Don’t blame Zhou Xumao, everyone has the same reaction.
When Li Zimai agreed to bring her boyfriend to meet them, the group exploded all night. When Li Zimai was a scumbag, he never introduced his partner to them. When asked, he would just say: We are going to break up anyway, so why meet?
It's obvious that he is a scumbag.
Gu Wei asked, "Cheche, do you have any dietary restrictions? The kitchen has started preparing dinner."
Li Zimai answered for Cheng Che: "No onions and cilantro, just cook the meat until it's cooked through, and use less seafood. Also, don't you think it's rude to call someone your boyfriend a double-word?"
Zhou Xumao: "I also think this is not good, right, Cheche."
"You have to find me to make me unhappy, don't you?"
Cheng Che is used to being alone, has no experience in dealing with too many people, and doesn't like talking to people. To put it nicely, he is aloof, and to put it bluntly, he has social anxiety.
At the beginning, Cheng Che would answer "okay", "hmm", and "okay" to everything he was asked. Li Zimai sat next to him and said a few words to him from time to time. There was no intimate action, only "my baby" she kept saying.
When people asked him about his life before the university entrance exam, and whether it was particularly annoying to work with Li Zimai, Cheng Che rarely agreed, "He has high standards and often asks me to make revisions to the drawings."
The male student immediately spoke up, "We were participating in a competition together. During practice, he could tell if the stool was moved even a centimeter. He would ask us to move it back, otherwise he wouldn't play the violin."
The female classmate added: "If he gets one chord wrong, he has to start the whole song over again. Really, whoever teams up with him is unlucky."
Li Zimai said, "I'm still here, can you curse me behind my back?"
Cheng Che smiled, his dimples curling up. Li Zimai had never seen him smile in public before, and his heart melted. He leaned close to him and said jealously: "Baby...don't smile at them."
Zhou Xumao vomited, leaned on Zhuang Kaiyue's shoulder and imitated Li Zimai's tone: "Baby...don't smile at them."
Cheng Che avoided him, his ears reddening unnaturally. Li Zimai was shy of his Cheng Che and coughed dryly, "Um... When is dinner served?"
Gu Wei smiled and said, "You're still embarrassed."
Li Zimai was too lazy to pay attention to him and wanted to pull Cheche to go to the toilet. Zhou Xumao said disdainfully: "You are an elementary school student, and you have to hold hands to go to the toilet."
"I can use the men's room with my baby, can you?"
Zhou Xumao: “….”
Cheng Che told him to go alone, not wanting to be stuck with Li Zimai like conjoined twins. Li Zimai compromised and said, "Okay, then you play with them for a while."
After Li Zimai left, Zhou Xu unceremoniously sat next to Cheng Che and gossiped, "Cheche, did you and Li Zimai have sex?"
Zhuang Kaiyue pulled the man back and said angrily, "Shut up!"
It's not Zhou Xumao's fault for being gossipy, he really wants to know whether Li Zimai has lost his virginity or not. The complaints he heard from Xu Sinian made Zhou Xumao worry that his scumbag brother might not be good enough, otherwise how could he have dated several girls but never even kissed them.
Cheng Che took a breath and replied briefly, "Yes... many times."
Everyone: “…”
So fucking straightforward, worthy of being Li Zimai's partner.
The topic started from here, and Zhou Xumao played the most stupid truth or dare game. Gu Wei, a nerd who studied physics all day, had never played such a stupid game. He played it with great enthusiasm and blurted out all his little tricks.
Zhou Xumao was stunned. "Brother Wei, I didn't expect you to be this kind of person. You...you actually want to watch European and American blockbusters."
Gu Wei said seriously: "I'm a man, this is normal."
Zhou Xumao shook his head. "When I was in junior high school, Li Zimai and I were watching a movie, and you said you had to do your homework and ignored us."
Zhuang Kaiyue: "You watched movies in junior high school?!"
Li Zimai just came back and quickly kicked him away, "Who told you to watch a movie? Stop talking nonsense!"
Cheng Che took one look at him and believed it without a doubt: Li Zimai is really precocious, no wonder he has so many tricks.
Zhou Xumao was frightened by Li Zimai's stare and fled at the last minute, "I don't want to play anymore, it's boring."
Li Zimai smiled and said, "Why don't you play anymore? It's the Guarantee Conference, I love it the most."
The battle began like this. The three childhood friends exposed each other's shortcomings and no one could get away with it.
When it was Cheng Che's turn again, Zhou Xumao smiled meaningfully and said, "When are you planning on bringing our brother Li to meet our parents?"
Zhou Xumao actually didn't want to ask this. He wanted to do something erotic, but was afraid of being bullied by Li Zimai, so he asked an ordinary question instead. He didn't expect that the ordinary question he thought would make the person involved change his expression.
Li Zimai followed up, half-jokingly saying, "I haven't brought Cheche back home yet, so don't encourage him."
Cheng Che lowered his head and hummed softly. Gu Wei sensed something and quickly said, "Let's go eat. The kitchen is ready."
After everyone left, Li Zimai shook Cheng Che's hand and said, "Zhou Xumao is like that, he speaks directly."
Cheng Che suddenly said, "Will you be angry?"
Li Zimai pretended to be relaxed and said, "Why should I be angry?"
Cheng Che lowered his head in silence. Li Zimai hugged him and asked softly, "...What's wrong?"
Cheng Che pushed him away slightly and said evasively: "Nothing, go eat, they are waiting."
The sensitive topics about family and the scar on the abdomen that they kept silent about would sooner or later become explosives that ignited all emotions.
