As soon as these words came out, Chu Shi, who originally had a nice smile on his face, turned stiff, and his voice was several octaves higher than usual, “Are you going to pick him up at the airport?!”
He wasn’t hallucinating, was he? Didn’t Lu Xun himself just express his attitude a few seconds ago, saying that he would never pick up anyone at the airport?
He had indeed never seen Lu Xun pick up anyone!
Chu Shi was barely able to control his expression, he forced a smile and said in a joking tone, “Who was it that just said that it wasn’t necessary to pick anyone at the airport when you’re not a three-year-old child who doesn’t know the way?”
Lu Xun glanced at Chu Shi, looking like he was mentally retarded by this question, “How can this be the same?”
Chu Shi’s smile was about to fall off again.
What’s the difference? Isn’t it all about picking up from the airport? He was even Lu Xun’s childhood friend!
Of course, Lu Xun couldn’t possibly be kind enough to answer this question. He took out his phone and looked at it, “It’s almost time. I have to go. You guys have fun here by yourselves. If you want to leave, you can leave anytime you want, I won’t stay. ”
Lu Ming, who was completely shocked by Lu Xun’s double standard, came back to his senses and asked, “What time do you need to pick him up, and when will you be back?”
“The plane will arrive close to seven o’clock in the evening, you can leave before then.” Lu Xun said.
“…What?” Lu Ming wanted to complain about why they had to leave before then, but before that, he had a more puzzling question, “It’s only after one in the afternoon, why are you going so early?”
Lu Xun gave an impatient tsk, “There may be unexpected situations on the road, so of course I have to allow enough time, have you become stupid after being abroad for a few years, why do you even have to ask such stupid questions?”
Lu Ming: “…”
Who has become stupid? Wasn’t it Lu Xun who was most impatient with long waiting times?
Lu Xun didn’t want to waste any more time and simply turned around, “I’m going.”
Lu Xun walked very quickly, without giving anyone time to speak, and disappeared outside the door after a few steps.
The driver was already waiting outside. Lu Xun opened the car door and got in, and the next second, the driver took the car and drove away.
The two people left in the room fell into silence.
The housekeeper brought tea and fruit snacks very considerately. Lu Ming, who was also a member of the Lu family, was the first to sit on the sofa unceremoniously.
Out of a certain intuition, Lu Ming had never got along well with Chu Shi before.
He felt that this person was a bit insidious and did not do things in an open and honest manner at all, but rather played tricks everywhere albeit with caution.
Now that he had this opportunity, Lu Ming started off with a sly comment, “It’s a pity, Brother Chu, didn’t you always want my Brother to pick you up from your flight? If you had delayed your return for a day, maybe he could have picked you up when he went to pick up his friend, so you could also have experienced the pick-up service, right?”

Chu Shi took a sip of tea, the smile on his lips had long since disappeared.

And in just one semester of not seeing each other, something went beyond what he had expected.
Chu Shi put down the tea cup, “It’s probably his friend’s first time here. He is not familiar with the place and has never flown on a plane. It is normal for him to be picked up.”
That’s right, that’s how it was.
This was just a friendly relationship he had known from a semester of staying over there, so how could it possibly compare with him?
Over the next few days, he would let that person know who was the closer friend to Lu Xun.
***
Lu Ming’s intuition for gay identification has greatly improved over the years and hearing these words, as a straight man, he couldn’t help but sneakily move to sit a little farther away.
So gay, just by saying these words were so gay, and that feeling of jealousy was even more gay on top of gay.
He then continued to observe the situation, and made up his mind to tell Lu Xun about these suspicious points as impersonally as possible, and let Lu Xun judge for himself.
It was really becoming more and more obvious, after all, a real straight man of steel was someone like him or Lu Xun!
***
With a different purpose in mind, although Lu Ming and Chu Shi left Lu Xun’s house for the time being, they came back again at around seven o’clock in the evening.
Lu Xun’s parents were too busy with work to return home and there was not much popularity in this spacious villa as they waited for Lu Xun to come back, each lost in their own thoughts.
Finally, the gates of the courtyard opened, and the car that had taken Lu Xun out during the day drove back in.
The two people who were utterly bored waiting in the hall immediately stood up.
Neither of them had ever met Lu Xun’s friend, let alone Lu Xun getting along with that friend, but it was easy to imagine that scene.
Lu Xun was definitely the dominant figure in this relationship. The new friend must be more cautious when facing the strong Lu Xun, and no matter what the situation was, he would be always putting Lu Xun’s opinion first in everything, so this friend should be relatively weaker.
The car stopped, the door opened, and an unknown face appeared.
Lu Ming was stunned for a moment when he saw the man’s face, stared at it and then subconsciously looked at Chu Shi.
Sure enough, Chu Shi’s face turned slightly ugly in an instant.
There was no other reason, Chu Shi was originally hostile to this new friend who Lu Xun went to pick up at the airport, but he didn’t expect that as soon as the new friend showed up, that face would directly set him off from a pretty face to a mediocre one.
Chu Shi took a deep breath and immediately went to talk to Lu Xun to prove his deep relationship with him.
But Lu Xun did not come over immediately after getting out of the car, but went to the trunk.
The driver hurried over and said, “Let me help you get the luggage in…”
“No need.” Young Master Lu refused, “I’ll take his luggage.”
Lu Xun took out Ye Yao’s suitcase. Ye Yao quickly walked over and was about to get it himself when Lu Xun hugged him by his shoulder.
“What are you doing grabbing things from me? Can you beat me?” Lu Xun looked smug, “I’ll take this, you can just walk away empty-handed.”
The very friendly Lu Xun, raised his head and saw the two uninvited guests standing there. His expression changed in an instant, and he said fiercely, “Why are you still here?”
Lu Ming: “…?”
What kind of acrobatics was this? Was this an extreme face change show?
Ye Yao looked at Lu Xun for a moment, and it was not known what kind of magic power this glance contained, the fierce Lu Xun calmed down his expression and began to make a barely polite introduction, “This is my cousin, and this is Chu Shi. ”
Lu Xun hugged Ye Yao’s shoulder again and said to the other two people, “This is my friend Ye Yao, so be polite when you see him in the future, understand?”
Lu Ming was in a trance. Looking at Lu Xun’s hand that was stuck to Ye Yao’s body, his eyes almost popped out from his head, “…!!!”
Could it be that after Lu Xun went out for a semester, his dislike of having too much physical contact with men had actually been cured?
What the hell was this!
Ye Yao, not sure why the atmosphere was a bit strange, greeted the two people he had just met, and then was pulled into the house by Lu Xun.
This place really filled Ye Yao with novelty. The mansion of a wealthy family he imagined in his mind was certified, and he couldn’t help but exclaim, “Your house is so big and beautiful.”
Lu Xun immediately felt that the house he had been looking down at for many years suddenly looked better. “Do you like it? If you like it, I will buy a bigger one for you in the future.”
Ye Yao laughed, not taking it seriously at all, “If you don’t talk nonsense for a day, you don’t feel well, do you?”
Lu Ming followed behind and listening to these conversations gave him a strange sense of familiarity.
He had felt the same way when he heard the conversation between Lu Xun and Chu Shi during the day.
One was a straight man of steel with a straight mind and orientation, and the other was a gay man with a bent sexual orientation and thoughts.
That would have been fine, but it was the people who were saying these things that had the problem.
…Why was the straight man of steel in the last conversation acting so gay in this conversation?
Does this make sense? It doesn’t make sense!
Lu Ming didn’t understand, but he was dumbfounded.
Lu Xun and Ye Yao went up to put the luggage, and soon came down again.
He had already asked the chef at home to prepare all kinds of Ye Yao’s favorite dishes, and as his parents were not free to come back today, he had planned to have a happy dinner with Ye Yao.
But unexpectedly these two uninvited guests were still here!
Lu Xun was quite unhappy. Normally, he would just kick out these ignorant people, but now that Ye Yao was here, he had to take into account and be mindful of his own image in Ye Yao’s eyes.
I have to think of some reason to drive these two guys out.
Ye Yao, not knowing what to expect, whispered to Lu Xun, “I was a little nervous about coming to your house, but seeing so many people my age, I don’t feel so nervous anymore.”
Lu Ming watched helplessly as Lu Xun turned his face towards them, initially looking at them with a frown on his face and looked like he didn’t want to see them again. But after Ye Yao said the sentence, that frown lessened.
Lu Xun said in a deep voice, “I know you guys haven’t eaten yet, so let’s eat together, more people, more lively.”
The corner of Lu Ming’s mouth twitched slightly. Who wouldn’t have eaten at this time of day? Anyway, he had eaten before coming here.
But with a certain shocked and unbelievable mood, Lu Ming, who had already eaten, came to the dining hall.
Beside him, Chu Shi made the first move and stole the show as he sat next to Lu Xun.
On the other side of Lu Xun, naturally, sat Ye Yao.
Every dish on the table was beautifully presented, exquisite, full of color, aroma and flavor, and was sure to whet your appetite at first sight.
Chu Shi looked at the dishes and with a smile, said in a nostalgic tone, “It seems that Brother Xun’s taste has changed after going to the South for a semester. I remember you used to like to eat the grilled steak made by Uncle Luo the most, and… …”
As Chu Shi continued to speak, Lu Ming’s spirits were lifted.
This trick was a great move, trying to show how special his relationship with Lu Xun was, remembering what Lu Xun liked to eat, and saying it in public, wasn’t this a proper emotional card?
If he guessed correctly, Chu Shi would probably serve food to Lu Xun only in a few minutes to show his specialness.
Lu Ming watched furtively, and then saw Lu Xun reach out his chopsticks, pick up a piece of the most tender part of the fish, and put it in Ye Yao’s bowl.
Lu Xun’s voice, the straight man of steel, was so gentle that it could pinch water, “Go ahead and taste it, it’s all your favorite dishes. I specially asked the chef to prepare them a few days in advance. Try it and see if it’s to your liking?”
Zaki~~really double standard tsk tsk tsk.
Feel bad for the childhood friend cuz yeah hes been by his side the longest, but you can’t force feelings.. People who knew each other in less than five minutes can be attracted to one another while people who known each other for a lifetime can stay as platonic friends.
Very true!
Thank You for the new chapter ♡⃛ヾ(๑❛ ▿ ◠๑ )
Chu Si was faceslapped so hard 😭
Thanks for the chapter! 😘
Chu Shi and Ye Yao should have a similar aura as two bent men who like Lu Xun but it’s incredibly different! Ye Yao was prepared to be patient and stay single rather than give up Lu Xun or worse, make him uncomfortable. Chu Shi was already harboring secret plans to manipulate Lu Xun using their long friendship to his advantage. I’m still giggling every time Lu Xun makes it clear the other two are not welcome 😂. If I remember correctly, Lu Xun was sent South because he wasn’t behaving at his old school. Chu Shi just doesn’t have what it takes to tame a Lu Xun 😛
so many things the cousin says rub me the wrong way my god
❤️❤️❤️
Can’t believe he had the mind to say he’s not gay 🤣 what gave him that confidence
