Chapter 62: Big Brother’s Friend
The relationship between Zhou Mushi and Jin Yang continued unclear and ambiguous, they didn’t say anything, but understood each other without words.
Pink bubbles occasionally popped up, and the two would share a smile.
Zhou Mushi still hadn’t broken the ice, he was unsure of how to bring it up. But given their current relationship, it wasn’t too bad. When Linda approached them, Zhou Mushi could even give Jin Yang a few meaningful looks with confidence.
Things were going well for him, and his brother Zhou Muxian, who was far away in a foreign country, wasn’t doing worse than him.
A hot chest pressed against Zhou Muxian’s bare back, the close contact allowed him to feel the rising and falling of the other’s chest, and the scent of the other person filled his nostrils.
After so many years of being in the business world, Zhou Muxian was no longer the naive and innocent boy he used to be. Over the years, there have been more than one person who has had thoughts about him.
Usually, anyone who dares to touch him will face the consequences. If you dare to stand in front of Young Master Zhou and show him your cucumber, he will turn your cucumber into a useless one!
But if the person is Chen Sheng…it’s another story.
The arm that was hooked around his waist silently moved to rest on his shoulder.
“Who called you just now?”
Zhou Muxian felt a little embarrassed, but having been in the business world for so long, he had learned how to act, so he didn’t show it on his face.
“It’s my little brother,” he said with a smile that didn’t falter.
The handsome man behind him casually grabbed a nearby towel and tied it around his waist.
With a haircut that was short enough to not have any particular style, his facial structure and features were highlighted. His nose was high and straight, his gaze sharp, and his features were symmetrical. This appearance would make people feel honest and comfortable regardless of the era.
The water droplets on his body slowly slid down with his movements, slipping over his arms, back, chest, and abs, and disappeared into the white towel around his waist. Every muscle that twitched made people feel their blood boil, and they couldn’t help but be captivated.
“Younger brother?” Chen Sheng caught the key point in his words, “Is that the child who was delicate and pretty when he was young?”
“Who said that child is delicate? But why are you laughing?” Zhou Muxian put on his own clothes and sat next to Chen Sheng.
“You really care about your younger brother.”
Zhou Muxian generously showed Chen Sheng the photo that Yu Zijin had just sent him. “Here, this one in the white sweater is my younger brother when he was young. He was a very cute child.”
Chen Sheng’s eyes softened imperceptibly, and he gave a fair assessment, “He has grown up to be good-looking and looks quite obedient.”
“I still think he was a good kid when he was little.”
“But…” Chen Sheng paused.
Basically, if a person’s speech contains connective words such as “but,” “however,” “yet,” “actually,” and so on, the following words will usually have a huge twist. Since childhood, Zhou Muxian has been protecting Zhou Mushi like a baby, and he cannot tolerate anyone saying anything bad about him. During Chen Sheng’s pause, he had already frowned.
“But what?”
“Just not as good-looking as you.”
He thought Chen Sheng would say something bad about Zhou Mushi, but who knew that the situation would turn around and it would be a compliment towards him!
To speak from the heart, it’s common for childhood friends to compare themselves to each other. Even if they have a good relationship, they can’t guarantee that they won’t care about the results of the comparison. When Zhou Muxian heard Chen Sheng’s words, he was so happy that he could fly, but he still humbly said, “We have different styles.”
Chen Sheng looked at the cheerful Zhou Muxian and without a second thought, he pounced on him like a hungry tiger and put him on the sofa, hugging his waist with one hand and sticking his body to him.
When Secretary Xiao Zhang arrived at Zhou Muxian’s door with the food, what he saw was Chen Sheng wearing only a bath towel and Zhou Muxian sitting next to him with his clothes disheveled. He didn’t know what Chen Sheng had said, but he had made Zhou Muxian laugh so much that he was shaking.
Originally, there was nothing wrong with being intimate between friends, but at this moment, Chen Sheng picked up Zhou Muxian phone, hugged him in his arms, and took a few intimate photos that couldn’t be seen.
The level of shame in all its various postures is too much for innocent Secretary Xiao Zhang to bear. She is holding the food and wondering whether to return it or not.
“Why are you standing here?”
Secretary Xiao Zhang, who was worried, was suddenly startled by the sudden voice, causing her to shake her hand and raise her head.
“Hello, Mr. Luo!”
“Why aren’t you bringing the food in? What are you doing standing here?”
“Uh…sir, I was afraid it might be inconvenient.”
The middle-aged man’s eyebrows furrowed and his eyes narrowed as he said, “What’s inconvenient?” Then he led the way into the room, which was not closed at all. Secretary Xiao Zhang, seeing the old man’s imposing manner, could only nervously follow him in with the food.
He had come to find Chen Sheng, but after entering the room and not seeing anyone beside from Xiao Zhou, he saw his own grandson sitting on the sofa, absentmindedly scrolling through his phone.
As soon as the old man entered the room, Zhou Muxian stood up.
“Hello, Uncle Luo!”
Old man Luo responded with a simple “Hmm.”
Secretary Xiao Zhang quickly and deftly placed the food on the table and made his exit. He didn’t dare provoke any of these important people in the room.
In less than half a minute, he had dressed neatly and came out of the room. He walked up to the visitor in a dignified and serious manner and greeted him respectfully.
“Uncle Luo”
Mr. Luo smiled and said, “Please sit down. Chen Sheng, I came here today for a personal matter.”
Chen Sheng sat upright on the sofa and said respectfully, “Please, Mr. Luo, go ahead.”
“You’re already thirty this year, and you haven’t found a wife yet? We elders are very concerned about your personal matters.”
Chen Sheng smiled lightly and didn’t say anything.
“Chen Sheng, I have a friend whose daughter just turned 25 after completing her master’s degree in England and returning home. Since you’re also off next month, would you like to meet her if you’re free?”
Chen Sheng cleared his throat awkwardly, “Grandpa Luo, actually i’m not in a hurry for personal matters.”
“People say ‘Thirty is the age of independence,’ you should go and meet her. If it’s suitable, then date, if not, then at least make a new friend. If there’s a good one, I’ll introduce her to you later,” Grandpa Luo advised.
Zhou Muxian took an apple and started eating it without hesitation. He smiled on his face, but cursed the old man’s ancestors in his heart.
“You can’t afford not to be in a hurry. Look at Muxian, he married early and had children. His life is so comfortable now. Don’t believe them when they say you’ll lose your freedom after marriage. Muxian’s life is still good. You should consider it carefully. It’s better to solve personal matters early,” Grandpa Luo advised earnestly, but Zhou Muxian’s face grew increasingly worse.
