Speaking of which, he started rambling again about Shi Wangyue’s few stories in the United States, "He really is the type to coldly reject anyone with ill intentions towards him."

He said this while looking at Ning Youguang.

"Is that so?" Ning Youguang looked down at Shi Wangyue with a gentle smile, "If you hadn’t mentioned it, I wouldn’t have known that Wangyue had so many admirers in the United States."

"What else do I have that you don’t know?" Shi Wangyue handed the prawn he had peeled to her lips, "In public, please show some respect for your husband’s reputation."

He spoke very quietly.

So quietly that probably only Ning Youguang and Zhuang Siqi, who perked up to listen to their conversation, heard it.

She listened while sneakily giggling, whispering to her brother, "In the end, no matter how much Brother Yiyi talks, isn’t he just like me, a total sucker for good looks?"

Zhuang Jianxian thought deeply for a moment, "What you say makes a lot of sense."

Shi Wangyue waited for Ning Youguang to lean over and eat the prawn from his hand, then picked up the warm towel next to him and slowly wiped his hands.

After that, he looked at Xie Shengxing with deep eyes, "How come I don’t know about the people plotting against me?"

His low voice carried a slightly cold tone, like a hook, somewhat dangerous.

But the slightly tipsy Xie Shengxing was clearly not that perceptive.

"What would you know?" He waved his big hand dismissively, "You’re so obsessed with your career, losing a minute is a loss for all of us. All these random things, since you have no interest, Ze Wu and I cleared them all out for you."

To be honest, at the time he did this, he didn’t feel much.

After returning home and finding out that his good buddy turned out to be his future brother-in-law, the more he thought about it, the prouder he felt.

After displaying brotherly loyalty, Xie Shengxing suddenly fell into silence.

He looked at Ning Youguang and Shi Wangyue sitting together, this divine couple that looked perfect for each other, and then spoke again with melancholy, "Us brothers, we’re really the same people with different fates."

"Why so down all of a sudden?" Yun Ze Wu laughed and teased the suddenly downcast Xie Shengxing.

"Can’t help feeling down." Xie Shengxing sighed deeply, "Some people cheat, some people fall in love, and some have been single up until now, I feel lonely."

"..."

Cloud Ze Wu, who often went on vacations with a bunch of girlfriends, suddenly felt inexplicably embarrassed.

Ning Youguang and the Zhuang twins saw Yun Ze Wu’s change in expression and laughed quietly to themselves.

"Men who don’t respect themselves are like rotten cabbage!" Zhuang Siqi finished laughing and complained to Ning Youguang, "This handsome uncle, who’d have thought he’d turn out to be such a jerk."

Enough!

Cheated men are really despised by all.

Just before, in the private room, Zhuang Siqi had been starry-eyed over Yun Ze Wu for quite a while, and now she found him utterly disgusting.

"He doesn’t have a steady girlfriend, just loves to play around." Ning Youguang explained with a suppressed laugh, "But indeed, his moral standards as a man are lacking."

The quick-thinking Yun Ze Wu turned his head to the only two girls in the room, noticing they were whispering and showing looks of utter disdain, wishing they could kick the loose-talking Xie Shengxing.

Annoyed, he gritted his teeth and poured the Maotai next to him into Xie Shengxing’s empty glass, "When is your brother coming over? If he doesn’t come soon, we’ll finish these bottles of Maotai and go home."

"So much?" Xie Shengxing turned to look at the two unopened bottles of Maotai on the table behind, "Just the two of us, we can’t finish so much, let’s just finish this half bottle and take the rest with us."

These four bottles of Maotai were brought by him, and he didn’t intend to finish them all tonight.

The main thing is, though tonight is suitable for drinking, only he and Yun Ze Wu are capable of knocking back drinks.

"Bringing the wine and taking it back doesn’t make sense, does it?" Yun Ze Wu put his hand on Xie Shengxing’s shoulder, "Your brother just won a championship tonight, shouldn’t you drink more?"

"Drinking more is fine." Xie Shengxing raised his glass, "But with the two bottles of Maotai left, even if we split it, each of us has a whole bottle, drinking that much, wouldn’t we have to be carried home?"

—"Besides, we’re not kids anymore, if we drink too much, no one would take care of us when we get back. Plus, I have to send Yiyi back to the dorm later."

Saying that, he put down his glass and picked up his phone, "Let me call Yiyi, to see when he’ll be here."

"Calling is pointless." Yun Ze Wu said, "Your brother’s victory party will definitely go longer than ours."

"He’s just a kid, what’s he doing drinking?" Xie Shengxing frowned and dialed Xie Yizun’s number faster.

Unexpectedly, the phone rang for a long time and no one answered.

Just as Xie Shengxing was getting anxious and was about to call again.

The door to the private room was pushed open from the outside, and outside stood Xie Yizun, who had changed into casual clothes, wearing a mask and hat, fully geared up.

"What luck, speak of Yiyi, and here comes Yiyi." Yun Ze Wu said, seeing the child suddenly appear at the door.

"Yiyi, why didn’t you answer your brother’s call?" Xie Shengxing stood up and walked to the door, bringing his taller younger brother to sit in the empty space beside him, "How’d you get here? Are you hungry?"

"Hungry!" Xie Yizun said, smiling as he called out to everyone present, "My manager brought me over."

Saying that, he removed his hat, revealing a heavily made-up face that hadn’t been removed, causing the Zhuang twins and Yun Ze Wu to fall into silence.

The people nearby instantly felt the air around them freeze.

Yun Ze Wu, who hadn’t seen Shi Wangyue’s extraordinarily beautiful little brother for a long time, found himself breathless at seeing the kid in makeup under the lights, a feeling akin to seeing his sister for the first time, genuinely stunned into silence.

The Zhuang twins, who were also good-looking, still couldn’t help but gape at Xie Yizun’s makeup, exclaiming—

It must be said that a pretty brother who can make it in entertainment based on looks is truly leagues above regular good-looking people!

Like his sister, ordinary people are left speechless when they first meet, unable to even compliment, but after she leaves, they hold their hearts and ask who she is in awe and astonishment.

Of course, as people of the same kind as Xie Yizun in a crowd, Ning Youguang and Shi Wangyue could not understand the feelings of Yun Ze Wu and the Zhuang twins at the moment.

In every era, ordinary people go about their lives, enjoying the luxuries when times are good, and getting by on simple food when times are tough.

I am just an ordinary person.
