Luo Jianxing leaned against the headboard, tossing the comb in his hand: "I was just saying it offhand. It's so weird for a man to give another man underwear."
He recalled, "I remember the year I met Anian, his birthday had already passed. The following year, I gave him a watch."
"Give a watch as a gift?" Luo Shimiao tilted her head and said, "Isn't that like sending someone off to their death?"
He gently tapped her head with the comb: "Can't you think of the bright side?"
"Giving a watch as a gift symbolizes lasting friendship and the hope that the watch will bring good luck."
Luo Shimiao: "What did you give as a gift in the third year?"
"Umbrella."
Li Manyu's eyelashes trembled: "Is it a blessing if he becomes impotent?"
Luo Jianxing: "........."
"That's not what I meant. An umbrella can shield you from the wind and rain, which means that no matter what happens, I will stand by his side and walk with him all the way. No matter what the future holds, we will weather the storm together."
Luo Shimiao scratched the back of his head and frowned, saying, "I still feel something's off."
"From another perspective, giving a watch can also be seen as a symbol that it will always be by your side, signifying that you will never be apart from it."
"As for giving an umbrella, you want to be his protective umbrella, so that he won't get hurt. Didn't Bai Suzhen also give Xu Xian an umbrella, and that led to their marriage?"
Li Man and Luo Shimiao looked at him at the same time, their eyes conveying a clear message.
He raised his hands and said, "Absolutely not, I have never had that kind of feeling for him!"
"We're all straight men, straighter than the Golden Cudgel!"
Little Green whistled: "If I remember correctly, the Golden Cudgel can be bent too."
"I..." Luo Jianxing opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say, a sense of powerlessness rising in his heart.
Li Man patted his head: "Okay, okay, we were just teasing you."
"Hehe, Third Brother, let's not talk about that anymore. Tell me how you and Gu Nian met." Luo Shimiao's eyes were burning with gossip.
A hint of unease flashed across Luo Jianxing's face: "Well... there's nothing to say." If he said it, they would probably misunderstand.
"If there's nothing wrong, why are you looking down and dodging? Even we don't dare to look. There must be something fishy going on here."
"It's really nothing."
Li Man hooked her little finger around his little finger and gently tugged at it: "Tell me."
He bit his lower lip, shook his head, and resolutely refused to say anything.
Luo Shimiao glanced at him and texted Gu Nian: Are you asleep?
"call out"
She replied instantly, a slight smile playing on her lips.
Gu Nian: Not yet, I'm thinking of you.
She immediately made a video call, and the next second after it connected, a man's deep, languid voice entered her ears.
"Do you want me to take off my clothes for you again? If you want to see, just come over and I'll show you everything."
Li Man: "Ew..." She rubbed the goosebumps that had risen on her arms.
Little Green: "Tsk tsk tsk..."
Luo Jianxing said to the handsome face on the screen, "Shameless!"
Luo Shimiao's face turned bright red. This man was no decent man at all.
Hearing these voices, he raised an eyebrow, his face remaining calm, and his thin lips parted slightly: "We're one short for a card game? We'll be right there." He then started to get up.
"No," Luo Shimiao quickly stated her purpose: "I just wanted to ask you something. How did you and Third Brother meet?"
Luo Jianxing's eyes widened instantly, and he reached out to snatch the phone, but Li Man hugged him from behind, preventing him from succeeding.
"A-Nian, don't say it!"
Luo Shimiao's eyes burned even brighter with gossip: "Could it be that there really is some unspeakable secret between you two?"
Gu Nian's eyes were filled with doubt: "Why do you say that? What secrets could two grown men like us have?"
