Shen Ci was so angry that he was about to rush up and beat someone up, but fortunately Lu Xiao pulled him into his arms in time, thus barely interrupting his action.

Lu Xiao held the naughty child tightly with his long arms and smiled helplessly: "Don't hurt your hands."

Wen Ran, whose handsome face was almost smashed by a fist: ???

Wen Ran rolled his eyes speechlessly: "Little beauty, you are too thin-skinned, aren't you? I was just joking just now."

"Wen Ran, I warned you." Lu Xiao glanced at him with cold eyes, chilling and murderous.

A chill ran up his skull, and Wen Ran tightened his grip on the steering wheel a little, scratching it a few times with his nails unwillingly.

He still smiled that romantic and indifferent smile, but his confidence was slightly reduced.

With Lu Xiao holding him in his arms and patting his head, Shen Ci calmed down a lot and panted, "Then, then your friend looks down on me and Xiao An, it can't be a joke, right?"

Wen Ran frowned: "Which friend?"

It's strange. Now that all his friends know that he wants to pursue Shen Ci, how could there be anyone so foolish as to provoke him?

Shen Ci gritted his teeth and dug out from his memory: "Your girlfriend's brother's roommate's--"

"Wait," Wen Ran interrupted him with a smile: "Who told you that? I don't have a girlfriend. Otherwise, you would..."

Wen Ran's voice suddenly stopped, and after a while he raised his eyebrows and continued the second half of the sentence: "...or else you should think it through first?"

Shen Ci really couldn't remember, and thought that since the receptionist had been fired, he was too lazy to bother with it any more.

"Oh, never mind. Uncle, let's go home."

"Um."

Shen Ci was holding Lu Xiao's hand and was about to get in the car, but Zhen Dalian hurriedly called out, "Don't go, my man! Leave me your contact information! I'll make you linger for sure if I can have sex with you!"

"Don't even think about it!" Shen Ci turned around and made a face in anger, and pushed Lu Xiao into the car. Zhen Da was still making a lot of noise outside.

Lu Xiao brought a driver today. Shen Ci urged him several times, and the driver quickly started the car and drove out of the parking lot.

"Boss." Zhen Da got into Wen Ran's car and greeted him listlessly.

Wen Ran laughed sarcastically: "Ha, now you know how to greet your boss? You were so flirtatious just now, do you know who you were seducing?"

Zhen Da: "I know, Lu Xiao, I have always admired him. If you were not cooperating with Yun Xiao this time, I would not come here if I saw a chance to become the boss lady of Yun Xiao."

Wen Ran rolled his eyes at him: "Can you please stop swearing by that cornstarch smell?"

Zhen Da made a bitter face: "I lost my temper when my idol appeared in front of me. I can't control myself normally. Who asked you to find Dongbei Yin to be my Chinese teacher?"

Wen Ran: “…”

He waved his hands: "Anyway, I advise you not to hold out hope. I think Lu Xiao is determined to fight Shen Ci to death."

Zhen Da snorted: "Aren't you also a bootlicker? Shen Ci is still clinging to my idol!"

Wen Ran slapped him on the back of his head: "How do you talk to your boss? Your head and butt are reversed, right?"

Zhen Da laughed nonchalantly: "Why are you so angry? You can't even tell me the truth? Hey, I really want Lu Xiao's body... I just want to sleep with him, and then I can die without regrets."

"Shut up." Wen Ran was upset. He took out a cigarette, lit it, and blew out a few broken smoke rings.

He could see that Shen Ci and Lu Xiao had a deep relationship and would not tolerate anyone else interfering.

But he was just unhappy, very unhappy.

From childhood to adulthood, the eldest son of the Wen family had always gotten what he wanted. But he had to fall into Shen Ci's trap, twice.

When they were in college, Shen Ci almost let him fall into bed, but when he saw him later, he pretended not to know him.

Now, Shen Ci still pretended not to know him and even hugged another man as if protecting his food.

How was he inferior to Lu Xiao? He was also from an aristocratic family, very wealthy, and very good-looking, so why didn't Shen Ci even bother to look at him? He just kept clinging to Lu Xiao.

On that midsummer night, the fingers that drew circles on his palm made me feel warm and itchy for several years.

Now that he saw Shen Ci again, he tossed and turned again, trying desperately to recall the moment when he was confused.

That was the first time he was truly moved, and also the last time.

Just thinking about it made him feel uncomfortable. Wen Ran wanted to grab Shen Ci immediately, pin him to the ground and force him to submit, but the obsession was itching in his heart.

"Hey," Wen Ran roughly crushed the cigarette, but there were some hidden sparks in his eyes: "In two months, Min Shoubei will hold a banquet for Shen Ci, are you going?"

"Fulfill your stupid dream."

Zhen Da's eyes suddenly lit up.

***

It was nearly ten o'clock when Shen Ci and Lu Xiao returned to the Shen family.

My parents were just about to go to bed when they saw the two of them coming and happily returning to the living room. Shen Ci quickly pushed them back to the room.

"I'm just here to visit the puppy. You really don't need to accompany me. Mom, you have a card game tomorrow. Go to bed."

Mother Shen glanced at Lu Xiao who was sitting on the sofa. He had his legs elegantly crossed and was casually flipping through a book on the table.

"Then you guys...be quiet later?" Shen's mother whispered to her younger son, fearing that she might hear any embarrassing noise.

Shen Ci frowned and watched to see if the puppy was still moving. He thought his mother might be too sleepy to even think straight, so he responded vaguely and pushed her back to the bedroom.

The housekeeper placed the puppy on the bed in the empty servant's room, and Shen Ci happily took Lu Xiao to see it.

Under the warm yellow light, three chubby little puppies had just finished feeding and were snuggling together and sleeping soundly. Shen Ci was so touched by their cuteness.

"So warm." Shen Ci said softly, a faint smile in the sunken corners of his mouth, his eyes like stars.

Lu Xiao took a quick glance and was captivated by his smile, his Adam's apple sliding uncontrollably up and down.

"You're back." Shen Bie's voice sounded behind him. He was wearing a bathrobe and drying his hair, his body covered in moisture.

He squatted next to Shen Ci and poked the little white dog's soft belly with his fingers, which were still wet with water. Shen Ci quickly slapped his hand away.

"I'm sleeping!"

Shen Bie gave a wicked grin: "This one - doesn't it look familiar?"

Shen Ci was confused: "Have you ever seen a white puppy before?"

Shen Xiaobai was sleeping with his arms and legs spread out. Among the three of them, his sleeping posture was the worst and he looked stupid no matter how you looked at him.

Lu Xiao also laughed and reached out to tickle Xiao Bai's ears: "Yeah, looks familiar."

Xiaobai groaned uncomfortably, shook off his messy fingers, turned over awkwardly, lay on his brother's body, spread his short legs, and fell asleep again.

"Hahaha!" Shen Bie laughed out loud: "This is even more like it!"

Shen Ci was confused: "Which puppy are you talking about? Why don't I have any impression of it?"

Seeing that his brother still didn't understand, Shen Bie smiled and ruffled his hair: "Of course it's you, the little dog. You look so much like him when you sleep!"

"!!!"

Shen Ci stood up suddenly and started chasing his bad-mouthed brother around the house. Shen Bie was prepared and ran away in a flash.

Lu Xiao leaned against the wall and quietly watched the noisy Shen Ci. His heart softened and he pursed his lips and smiled softly, with faint wrinkles appearing at the corners of his eyes.

Shen Bie almost laughed so hard that he almost choked. Since he couldn't run, he just let his brother throw the pillow at him.

"Hey, hey, hey, stop hitting me. I wanted to make you barbecue as a midnight snack tonight, do you want to eat?" Shen Bie stood on the second floor, holding the railing and shouting down.

Shen Ci paused on the stairs and looked up hesitantly: "Really?"

Shen Bie smiled nonchalantly: "I lied to you that I was a puppy."

Shen Ci: “…”

***

A grill and a table had already been set up on the backyard lawn. It was obvious that Shen Bie had been preparing carefully for a long time. Several servants were skewering the meat and lighting the charcoal.

Shen Bie changed into a black T-shirt, and with his slender fingers he nimbly picked up the skewers of meat and started grilling them. The sizzling sound and the smoke from the burning hot oil made Shen Ci drool.

"We're half an hour late, and the meat has been replaced several times." Shen Bie sprinkled some pepper and said casually.

Shen Ci: "I can't help it. I was just being harassed by someone. Oh, by the way, do you know Wen Ran?"

Shen Bie frowned: "Wen Ran?"

Shen Ci: "Yeah, it seems like he's from the same university as us."

Shen Bie sneered, "Of course I know someone as capable as him. I heard that he slept with the lecturer in his freshman year, and slept with all the pretty girls in the department in his four years. He also seduced several of the school hunks, becoming a legend among international students."

“So amazing…” Shen Ci’s mouth shaped into an O in shock. How could such a famous person know him?

Shen Bie lowered his head and smiled, hiding the complexity in his eyes: "Yeah, if I were your brother and I was so shameless, I wouldn't have to be a soloist until now."

He glanced at his dumbfounded brother and said, "By the way, why are you asking him this all of a sudden?"

Shen Ci scratched his head: "Wen Ran said... he pursued me, but I have no recollection of it. Do you remember, brother?"

"Uh..." Shen Bie looked a little unnatural, and he lightly kicked Shen Ci's butt: "That kind of playboy is full of dirty talk, and he will do whatever he can to flirt with a good-looking person when he sees one. Do you dare to believe what he says?"

"Don't let the smoke bother you, eat quickly!" Shen Bie urged in a rough voice.

Shen Ci had no choice but to take the plate of hot roasted pork belly back to the table and put it down.

The brother's attitude was a bit strange, and Shen Ci intuitively told him that there was a story behind it.

But it was obvious that he couldn't get anything out of the question, so Shen Ci lay on the table and sighed.

Turning his vision to the side, Shen Ci saw Lu Xiao, who had changed into a grey home suit, sitting at a small table, replacing the servant, skewering meat seriously with a focused expression.

He rolled up his sleeves, revealing his white and smooth forearm muscles, and you could vaguely see the strong blue veins winding around them.

Looks great...

Shen Ci suddenly called him from a distance: "Uncle!"

Lu Xiao stopped what he was doing, raised his head and looked inquiringly at Shen Ci, his dark eyes looking straight at him.

Shen Ci touched his nose awkwardly, not knowing why he wanted to call Lu Xiao. He opened his mouth as soon as he thought about it.

He had no choice but to take a skewer of cooled barbecue and walk over to put it to Lu Xiao's mouth. Lu Xiao opened his mouth meekly, bit, chewed, and swallowed.

"Is it delicious?" Shen Ci asked dryly.

Lu Xiao lowered his head and continued to skewer the meat, nodding in response.

The night wind rustled the grass as Shen Ci held the cold iron stick, trying to find a new topic to break the silence.

Staring at Lu Xiao, Shen Ci suddenly realized something was wrong.

The person in charge of Yunxiao, who is busy dealing with huge projects worth tens of millions every day, is actually squatting here, threading meat skewers for him?

This channel is not right, we need to change it.

Shen Ci frowned: "Uncle, these aunties will take care of it, you don't have to work so hard."

Lu Xiao kept busy: "I just wanted to make food for the baby."

If it was during the holidays, Shen Ci would be happy to hear this; but Lu Xiao had already worked for a day...

Shen Ci deliberately got angry: "That won't work either. I don't care! My uncle is not allowed to hang around anymore."

The three words "I don't care" are Shen Ci's advanced skill. It can be used on all acquaintances, and can also produce a critical effect on Shen Bie, Lu Xiao and others.

As long as it is said, the success rate of the request can be raised to 80%. As for the remaining 20%... of course it depends on the ultimate magic weapon "shedding tears".

As expected, Lu Xiao was defeated by the ultimate move. He was pulled away by Shen Ci with a helpless smile and was "forced" to accept Shen Ci's feeding.

Shen Bie came over with the freshly grilled meat and happened to see Lu Xiao lowering his head and holding the grilled meat in Shen Ci's hand. A certain silly puppy was still holding Lu Xiao's arm and looking up eagerly.

Shen Bie's eyebrows jumped, and he pretended to be calm as he put down the plate, making a crisp sound of impact.

"Fuck! Brother, you scared me to death." The plate slammed heavily on the table, and Shen Ci shuddered with fear.

Shen Bie forced a hypocritical smile, pressed his temples, turned around and walked away.

Shen Bie could barely acknowledge the relationship between his younger brother and Uncle Lu, so it was OK to give him some adult gifts to protect the child.

But when he actually saw the two of them being ugly with his own eyes...it was still hard for him to accept.

How could his little cabbage brother be taken away by the devil? Shen Bie began to feel heartbroken and furious again.

"What the hell…"

Shen Ci looked at his brother's slightly disappointed back, not knowing why. Did he roast the meat badly and was in a bad mood?

Lu Xiao brought the barbecue to his mouth. Shen Ci didn't care to think any more and quickly opened his mouth to bite it.

Shen Ci had been holding Lu Xiao's strong arm, chewing meat while looking down at him for a long time, then touching and poking him as if fascinated, and even frowned and stretched out his own arm for comparison.

Lu Xiao lowered his eyes to look at him, and casually used a little strength to flex his forearm muscles. The blue veins immediately stood out, and his breath was full of male hormones.

"It feels so good." Shen Ci smiled at him with sparkling eyes, and squeezed harder: "The massage service is here again, are you comfortable, uncle?"

Lu Xiao placed his two big hands under Shen Ci's armpits and lifted the confused child to sit on his lap.

"Um."

The response came a little late, and Shen Ci didn't understand Lu Xiao's meaning for a moment.

...But why did Lu Xiao suddenly carry him up here? Shen Bie was still there.

I always feel that he has bad intentions... Alarm bells rang in Shen Ci's mind. Based on past combat experience, the enemy is about to launch an attack.

He sat sideways on Lu Xiao's legs, holding his trouser belt with one hand and resting his other hand on Lu Xiao's broad shoulders, keeping a distance from him cautiously, with every cell in his body tense and ready for battle.

However, Lu Xiao simply grabbed Shen Ci's hand, pressed it on his stiff abdominal muscles, and forced Shen Ci to open his five fingers and caress them.

"Here? How does it feel?" Lu Xiao raised his lips and smiled.

"..." Shen Ci wondered if this guy had learned bad habits from Wen Ran and suddenly became so noisy.

But it's really nice to touch...

Unable to withstand the enemy's temptation, Shen Ci quickly surrendered. He couldn't help but touch her several times and even kneaded her thin and hard waist.

He was so happy that he didn't notice that Lu Xiao's breathing had become disordered. He endured it and lowered his head to kiss the top of Shen Ci's head, his breath becoming hotter and hotter.

Suddenly, there was a muffled sound of something heavy falling in the distance. Shen Ci turned around in horror - not far away, Shen Bie fell to the ground, with the skewers of meat in his hands all falling on his head, looking extremely weird and funny.

"Brother!" Shen Ci came to help him quickly: "What's wrong?"

Shen Bie, who was so scared that he fell down, turned pale and stood up with trembling legs. He didn't care about the skewers of meat that fell on the ground, and turned back to the house in a daze to take a shower.

Shen Ci frowned, wondering why his brother was so absent-minded tonight.

As soon as Shen Bie entered the house, he almost fell down, which scared the servant.

He pushed away the servant's hand that was trying to help him, but the shock in his heart had not yet subsided.

Lu Xiao and Shen Ci actually started playing outdoors as if no one was around, and Shen Ci even took the initiative to reach out...

It's gone. Where's the cute slow-witted brother from before? Where's the silly cabbage who couldn't even understand a confession... How come he became so wasteful after just a few days in Lu Xiao's hands?

As soon as Shen Bie closed his eyes, his mind was filled with the cabbages dyed yellow.

He was panicking...

***

In the remaining two months, Brother Zhang helped Shen Ci turn down all small notices so that he could concentrate on honing his acting skills.

Min Shoubei's script was basically finished, and Lu An dragged Shen Ci to study it all day long, and the lines, which were not many to begin with, had already been memorized by heart.

Shen Ci was extremely serious in both performance training and basic classes. With the full support of Lu An, a top student, Shen Ci completed the original course content more than a week ahead of schedule and finally got his vacation.

As soon as the vacation is over, it will be the banquet day set by Min Shoubei.

It will be the most grand event in G City this year with many celebrities and wealthy families gathering.
