Although Chen Shaojie had seen through his thoughts, Xia Tian refused to admit it.
"What nonsense are you talking about? I'm not jealous."
"We are just partners, how could I be jealous of her?"
Chen Shaojie smiled and said, "Yes, yes! If you say you're not jealous, then you're not jealous, okay?"
"I don't know who heard it just now, but when Sister Mengyun was about to pull another boy, her face turned red with anxiety and nervousness."
Xia Tian just played rogue and denied it three times in a row: "I don't know, I didn't see it, anyway, it's none of my business."
Chen Shaojie also noticed that Xia Tian was embarrassed.
He didn't continue teasing Xia Tian, but asked seriously: "Brother Tian, tell me the truth, how far have you and sister-in-law developed now?"
Xia Tian continued stubbornly, "What are you talking about? What stage has it reached?"
"Haven't I just told you everything about the relationship between us?"
"She and I are just partners. At most, we're just good friends. It's not the messy relationship you think."
Seeing that Xia Tian refused to say anything, Chen Shaojie simply stopped asking.
"Well, since you don't want to tell me, I won't ask."
"Let's not talk about anything else today, just reminisce about the past."
"Come, drink!"
After saying that, he raised the wine glass in his hand and clinked it with Xia Tian.
Seeing Chen Shaojie drink up the liquor in the glass, Xia Tian did not hesitate and simply tilted his head back and drank up the liquor in his glass.
Under Chen Shaojie's deliberate urging, the first bottle of white wine was quickly finished by the two of them.
Although with their drinking capacity, a bottle of white wine is not enough to knock them down.
But it was obvious that both of them were a little drunk.
When speaking, there were fewer unnecessary courtesies, and even their actions had returned to the warmth and warmth of their college days.
After filling the glass again, Chen Shaojie put down the bottle in his hand.
Looking at Xia Tian who was sitting opposite him, he asked, "Brother Tian, am I your best brother?"
Xia Tian said without hesitation: "Of course, we have always been good brothers."
"When we were in school, didn't we agree to be good brothers for life?"
Chen Shaojie: "Then why are you still hiding your relationship with your sister-in-law from me?"
"Tell me honestly, are you having any trouble?"
"Are you worried that your sister-in-law's parents will look down on you for being just an ordinary working-class family?"
"Or are you worried that if you really get together with her, you won't be able to afford the betrothal gift when you get married?"
Xia Tian shook his head and sighed, "Alas! I don't know how to tell you this. It's quite complicated anyway."
Chen Shaojie raised his glass and gestured, and the two of them each drank half a glass.
After putting down his glass, he continued to persuade her, "It's just something between a man and a woman, how complicated can it be?"
"Anyway, I have plenty of time today, so just take your time."
"Don't worry, if you are worried about the gift or money, I can help you solve it."
"No matter how much betrothal gifts Sister Mengyun's family asks for, I'll take care of buying you a house in any city. Just think of it as my gift to you when you get married."
Xia Tian waved his hands: "It's not about money. I haven't even considered the issue of betrothal gifts."
Chen Shaojie asked curiously, "What's the reason? Could it be that my sister-in-law has fallen in love with someone else?"
Xia Tian put down his glass and thought for a moment before answering seriously, "That shouldn't be possible. We basically spend most of our time together, and she doesn't have time to meet other people of the opposite sex!"
After seeing Xia Tian’s answer, he fell silent again.
Chen Shaojie complained depressedly: "Brother Tian, if you continue like this, I'm afraid you will really be single for the rest of your life."
"Do you really want to watch Sister Mengyun walk further and further away from you and slowly fall into the arms of someone else?"
Maybe Chen Shaojie's words worked, or maybe Xia Tian figured it out himself.
He took out a cigarette box from his pocket, threw one to Chen Shaojie, then lit the cigarette in his hand and started smoking.
After taking a deep puff, Xia Tian exhaled a puff of smoke and then spoke slowly.
"Actually, I didn't lie to you. Qiu Mengyun and I really can't be considered a couple right now."
"Aside from being partners, we can at best be considered colleagues."
"Besides, we've never discussed this issue, and she's never taken the initiative to tell me about it. I have no idea what she's really thinking."
"I don't know how she defines or views our relationship."
"I don't even know what she thinks of me. Does she see me as a pleasant partner or is she interested in me?"
"I don't know any of this. What can I do? I can't just go over and confess my feelings to her when I don't know anything about her, right?"
Hearing Xia Tian’s words, Chen Shaojie smiled.
"Haha! So you're worried that she doesn't like you?"
"By the way, weren't you quite brave when you confessed your love to Lin Wanqing back in college?"
"It caused such a big commotion that all the students in the school knew about it."
"What's going on now? Why are you suddenly so timid?"
Xia Tian smiled awkwardly: "Ahem! Back then at school, I dared to confess my feelings to Lin Wanqing so openly."
"Actually, it's because she had already expressed her feelings to me privately before I confessed my feelings."
