chapter 37
"I……"
Xu Zaixing pushed up his glasses, hesitated, and said, "These glasses... aren't they different prescriptions? They're not very comfortable to wear. I'm afraid I won't be able to see the road clearly, so it would be better if I didn't wear them..."
"what?"
The man was momentarily confused, and was about to say something...
The boy suddenly said, "Brother, don't think about it so much, let's go inside. I wonder if they've arrived yet..."
Oh, yes...
Mo Chengyu and his friend are the key. I'm really meddling. They must have their reasons. Why should I care whether they wear glasses or not?
Meng Youcheng didn't say anything and followed Xu Zaixing inside.
It's six o'clock in the afternoon. The sky is getting dark, but the streetlights are on, making the whole street bright.
This restaurant for couples is nothing special...
Two people per table, red atmosphere, a vase of flowers on the table, no substance whatsoever, okay?
They came in and searched around, then spotted a familiar figure...
Gu Jingyun and Mo Chengyu sat in a prominent spot at the front, chatting and laughing, seemingly having already ordered their food and preparing to eat...
Meng Youcheng, standing behind them, watched the two of them. They clearly hadn't noticed him and were still talking…
"Brother, sit here..."
The boy next to him patted him on the shoulder and pointed to the table next door...
The man hesitated before sitting down, his gaze still fixed on the two men...
What are those two lunatics talking about?
It's really rare to see them so happy. I used to see them fighting or arguing with each other. I never expected to see such a heartwarming side of them.
The boy coughed softly, "Cough cough..."
The man turned to look at him, smiled, then turned back to look at Mo Chengyu and the others...
They're still saying...?
What do they talk about?
Someone like Mo Chengyu, could he be talking about me? Complaining about me to Gu Jingyun? Surely not...?
"Cough cough..."
Xu Zaixing coughed a few more times...
Meng Youcheng was still speculating and ignored him...
"elder brother……!"
The boy called out a few times before the man turned to look at him. "What's wrong?"
Xu Zaixing thought for a while and said, "This is a couples' restaurant. Don't you want to know what you want to eat? Let's discuss it. That way I can..."
"Ordering food."
Without hesitation, Meng Youcheng replied, "I'm fine with anything..."
Then she quickly turned to look at Mo Chengyu, "Besides, I didn't come here to eat. I came to observe the two of them. Just order whatever you like, don't worry about me."
"But I fought for so long to get this spot..."
The boy hesitated before saying, "Wouldn't it be a waste if we didn't take it seriously?"
"what?"
The man raised an eyebrow. "Is this position really that hard to get?"
"Hundreds of people are watching every day. I stayed up all night to buy them, so I think they're quite precious, and that's why..."
Xu Zaixing let out a breath, "Just treat me like your partner, come have dinner with me, like it's your first date, have a good chat, and take it seriously."
Meng Youcheng hesitated for a long time...
He eventually sat back down, looking at the boy. "I'm sorry, I didn't know this seat was so hard to get. I feel bad for disappointing you..."
Xu Zaixing smiled, revealing his canine teeth, "So what do you like to eat? The steaks here are pretty good, would you like to try some?"
The man looked at him and nodded. "Either is fine..."
Just then, the waiter came over. "Hello, gentlemen, what would you like to order?"
"Two steaks, well-done..."
Xu Zaixing spoke first, then glanced at the man again, "Is this how you order?"
Meng Youcheng nodded, "Either is fine..."
The waiter left...
Xu Zaixing gazed at Meng Youcheng…
The man rubbed his fingers together, head down, and remained silent.
The boy bit his lip. "Brother, I have something to tell you. Actually, I had a project I was going to work on today, but after thinking about it, I realized that Gu Jingyun and Gu Jingyun's relationship needs to be strengthened, so I called them over..."
Meng Youcheng looked up at him. "Oh? Isn't this too much trouble? I'm so sorry..."
"It's fine……"
The boy said anxiously, "I don't want you to thank me or apologize. I just hope you can cherish this time we spent together..."
"I fought for this spot for a long time, and I finally got it. Could you please not be so unfamiliar with me and chat with me for a while? I've been under a lot of pressure lately, okay?"
Meng Youcheng looked up at him and also bit his lip...
My mind went blank; I really didn't know what to say.
"I……"
"Let's pretend I'm your boyfriend, just for one day..." Xu Zaixing interrupted him, "...let's pretend it's our first date, okay?"
He said he was under a lot of pressure...
I should comfort him!
Maybe he was afraid I would be too distant with him, so he asked me to be his girlfriend for a day!
That way, it will seem more normal for me to comfort him!
That's definitely what he was thinking. Besides, we're brothers, and he's helped me so much, so it's only natural to comfort him!
How can I comfort him?
Let's change the subject!
The man nodded. "Okay..."
The boy's eyes lit up immediately. "Really?"
"Um……"
Xu Zaixing smiled, revealing his canine teeth, "I thought you were going to refuse, but thank you so much for not rejecting me..."
"Oh, right..."
Meng Youcheng suddenly interrupted him, "How did you manage to get Gu Jingyun to bring Mo Chengyu here?"
The boy smiled and said directly, "Just like the message I sent you, it said there's a discount here..."
The man thought for a moment and said, "How did you know there was a discount here?"
"My family owns it...?"
Without thinking, the boy replied, "Of course I know. The manager here called me and told me."
"Your family owns it..."
The man hesitated before asking, "Are we going to fight for a spot too?"
The young man paused for a moment and said, "Of course, just because I'm the boss doesn't mean I can break the rules here. I should set a good example so that the customers and employees won't gossip."
"Oh……"
Meng Youcheng nodded. "As expected of the big boss!"
The young man adjusted his glasses, looked at him, and said, "Brother, can I ask you a question?"
Meng Youcheng nodded. "Of course...?"
Xu Zaixing hesitated, "How old are you?"
"Thirty years old..." The man raised an eyebrow. "Didn't I tell you that already?"
The boy shook his head. "That's not what I was asking."
The man raised an eyebrow, thought for a moment, and said, "Height? 1.75 meters..."
"It's not this one either."
"What is that?"
Meng Youcheng stared at him blankly, "It's not age, it's not height, is it weight? I think I'm about 70 kilograms, but I don't really remember..."
"It's not this either..."
Meng Youcheng was stunned. "It's not age, not height, not weight, then what is it?"
The boy rested his chin on his hands, gazing at him, then his gaze suddenly shifted downwards...
Meng Youcheng had an epiphany...
He swallowed stiffly...
"You're not asking about that, are you?"
The boy curled the corner of his mouth, revealing his canine teeth, and nodded.
What?!
Is he really...?
Oh my god, how should I reply to him?
Why does he ask about everything?
But then again, they're both guys, and there aren't any girls around. If they don't talk about this, what else can they talk about?
"I……"
Meng Youcheng sighed, "I don't know how to answer that..."
The boy still smiled. "Why? Is it because you're sick? Or because you're not happy with it...?"
Meng Youcheng interrupted him, "Of course not, it's just that this topic is too embarrassing, I... I find it hard to talk about. Really, let's change the subject..."
"Shall we change the subject?"
The boy bit his lip. "I don't know what to say. You like girls, and I like boys. We have different sexual orientations and different interests, so after thinking about it, this topic seems to be the best..."
"well……"
The boy sighed. "I'm sorry, I didn't realize this topic was so sensitive for you..."
no……!
What does his tone mean?
Does that mean I'm not good enough?
He probably thinks that the reason I'm avoiding this topic is because I'm inadequate, and that's why I'm doing this!
But……!
This is a man's dignity!
"Who said it's sensitive?"
Meng Youcheng interrupted him, "It's not sensitive to me at all, okay? I just feel a little embarrassed to talk about it in public..."
Xu Zaixing smiled. "I know..."
Looking at his smile, Meng Youcheng felt instantly insulted. "You don't know..."
The boy forced a smile, revealing his canine teeth, and continued, "I really know, bro, you don't need to explain to me..."
"I feel you don't know this, and it's necessary to explain it to you!"
Xu Zaixing continued smiling, "No need for me to tell you, brother, that's just how boys are..."
I am 20.
Before the boy could finish speaking, the man interrupted...
As soon as he finished speaking, his face turned red.
Xu Zaixing maintained his smile. "Huh?"
I said I'm 20.
The man lowered his head, his face flushed, and repeated it again.
Xu Zaixing's smile deepened. "Your shoe size is only 20? That's so small! I thought it was 40!"
Meng Youcheng: "Huh? No... what you just did...?"
