Qiao Yi sat dejectedly on the sofa in the hotel lobby. The sofa was a bit hard and uncomfortable to sit on, but he didn't know where he should go now.

It was definitely not easy to go to his parents' place. He didn't want to deal with his father, and he didn't want to go back to the apartment.

If I had known earlier, I might as well have stayed at Zhou Shen's place.

As soon as this idea came up, a pair of brand new and valuable leather shoes fell into Qiao Yi's eyes, and then they stopped there. Qiao Yi looked up in confusion, and his eyes widened slightly: "You,

Why are you here?"

Zhou Shen didn't know what he was doing here. When he noticed that the bald man who kept circling nearby walked away from them, Zhou Shen hummed: "Passing by."

After saying that, he really wanted to pass by the sofa where Qiao Yi was sitting and walked towards the front desk.

"...Oh." Qiao Yi spoke in a low tone, touched the itchy spot on her face, and clasped the pages of the book in her hand with one hand.

He thought Zhou Shen was here to find him.

"No, no, brother." Duan Mingxuan quickly grabbed Zhou Shen's clothes. Zhou Shen looked back, let go of his hand and asked with a smile: "I'm just passing by, not just passing by. Hello, pretty brother. I'm

Zhou Shen’s friend.”

Duan Mingxuan is a good person, and you can tell by listening to their conversation. Zhou Shen must know his beautiful brother, and Zhou Shen obviously came here on purpose.

Pretty brother?

Qiao Yi tilted her head to look at Duan Mingxuan with red ears, "Hello." He blinked, his voice was clear and his eyebrows were curved: "My name is Qiao Yi."

Duan Mingxuan smiled: "My name is Duan Mingxuan. Zhou Shen and I are going upstairs. Do you want to come with us?"

Before Qiao Yi had time to reply, Duan Mingxuan was suddenly blocked by half of his body. Zhou Shen frowned and interrupted the two of them looking at each other, "Duan Mingxuan."

Duan Mingxuan chuckled: "I see you two know each other. It's just a gathering of friends. Take the opportunity to let me and my beautiful brother get to know each other more..."

Duan Mingxuan's voice was loud, and Qiao Yi also heard it.

Qiao Yi pursed her lower lip.

After following Zhou Shen, there was still somewhere to go. Sitting in the hotel lobby, I felt a little lonely.

Qiao Yi looked at Zhou Shen eagerly.

Zhou Shen still had the same expression as usual. He originally had a tough look. When he was used to being in a superior position, he had an aura of calmness and self-power. When he didn't smile, he looked a bit fierce.

But it's really handsome.

Qiao Yi blinked and heard Zhou Shen say: "What do you know?"

Qiao Yi's eyes suddenly dimmed.

I almost forgot, the original body and Zhou Shen were not very familiar with each other...

Zhou Shen was not willing to admit that they knew each other.

"He is me..." Zhou Shen paused. The word "wife" came to his mind, and he swallowed it again, and changed it to a less strange term: "Marriage partner."

Zhou Shen said this in reply to Duan Mingxuan.

Not many people in the circle knew about his marriage, Duan Mingxuan was one of them. However, Duan Mingxuan had never met Qiao Yi before. He only heard that Qiao Yi was a young man who was idle, eating, drinking and having fun. In short, he was Zhou Yi.

The old man found an ancestor for Zhou Shen, but Zhou Shen didn't like this ancestor and didn't have much interaction with them. The marriage was just a decoration.

Caught off guard, he knew that the beautiful brother in front of him was Zhou Shen's unpopular marriage partner. Duan Mingxuan was glad that he was not drinking water and cleared his throat: "What, sister-in-law is good, sister-in-law is good."

Isn't it said that he is a dandy? Why doesn't he look like that?

He looked at Qiao Yi.

Qiao Yi was looking at Zhou Shen, with a somewhat surprised expression on his face. After a while, the boy who was sitting there with a hunched face stood up, tilted his head to Zhou Shen's side, and asked in a low voice: "Then, can I

I can’t come with you...Brother Zhou Shen?"

He didn't even look at Duan Mingxuan next to him.

Duan Mingxuan looked at Qiao Yi and then at Zhou Shen: "..."

Why do I feel so redundant?

Zhou Shen bent his fingers hanging by his side and raised his eyelids: "It's up to you."

Qiao Yi smiled with her eyebrows bent and her eyes bright.

It was brighter than the smile he had just looked at Duan Mingxuan.

Zhou Shen's eyelids twitched.

Duan Mingxuan waited until he reached the door of the club upstairs in a daze, and then he remembered why he came to Zhou Shen today.

Seeing Qiao Yi obediently following Zhou Shen in, Duan Mingxuan suddenly wanted to run away.

In front, Qiao Yi followed Zhou Shen and called him softly: "Brother Zhou Shen."

Zhou Shen didn't stop: "?"

"You walk slower."

Zhou Shen paused and glanced at Qiao Yi's legs.

Even hidden under his pants, you can see that Qiao Yi's legs are straight. Although Qiao Yi is shorter than Zhou Shen, he is still about 1.75 meters tall. He is thin and his legs should not look short.

Still white.

Zhou Shen quickened his pace.

Qiao Yi: "?" Qiao Yi paused and chased after him: "Brother Zhou Shen."

Zhou Shen slowed down again.

Qiao Yi gently pulled Zhou Shen's sleeve, then immediately retracted it, looking at Zhou Shen's side face with her chin raised: "Can I stay at your house today?"

Zhou Shen glanced at his sleeves, rubbed his fingers on his pants, and said, "Whatever you want."

"I never said you couldn't come back and live."

Otherwise, it would not have been possible for Qiao Yi to renovate the room at that time, since he had other residences anyway.

As soon as he finished speaking, a heat source was placed on his arm.

Qiao Yi hugged his arm, raised her head and pressed her chin against his arm, "Brother Zhou Shen, you are so kind."

Zhou Shen stiffened and was silent for a moment, "Yeah."

Then he withdrew his hand.

After achieving his goal, Qiao Yi no longer cared about these details. He reluctantly pulled Zhou Shen out of the hated blacklist in his heart. He fell a few steps behind Zhou Shen and followed him slowly.

Zhou Shen looked back and straightened the corners of his lips.

Many people had already arrived in the box they went to. The box had the words "Happy Birthday" on it and there were balloons floating in the air.

As soon as Zhou Shen entered, someone immediately came over to greet him. Qiao Yi followed him and was shorter than him, so no one noticed.

But Qiao Yi didn't care. She came here with Zhou Shen just to have a place to stay tonight.

Duan Mingxuan, who was behind him, walked up to him and smiled: "Zhou Shen has never attended birthday parties like this before. He finds it troublesome."

Qiao Yi nodded indifferently and looked around at the food available.

Duan Mingxuan added: "If I hadn't bothered him all the time, he wouldn't have been happy to come."

Qiao Yi nodded and touched his hungry belly.

Duan Mingxuan breathed a sigh of relief. Anyway, it would be better to help Zhou Shen clear up the relationship first.

In the front, Zhou Shen listened to a group of people talking to each other, took the wine glass handed to him, and looked back with a headache.

By chance, he saw Qiao Yi and Duan Mingxuan standing together. Qiao Yi was obediently tilting her head to listen to Duan Mingxuan's words. The two seemed to be having a good time chatting.

Zhou Shen narrowed his eyes.

"Brother Zhou Shen." Someone called Zhou Shen, and Zhou Shen turned around.

He is today’s birthday boy.

The other party raised his wine glass towards Zhou Shen and said with a smile: "I'm so glad you can come, Brother Zhou Shen."

Zhou Shen raised his eyelids and clinked glasses with her symbolically, "Happy birthday, gift."

After saying that, he took a small box from his pocket and handed it to the other party.

When the people around saw this, they immediately started to boo.

"Oh!! Look what gift Zhou Shen bought you?"

"What's going on? It must be seen in private."

"Lin Yan, why are you blushing!!"

Duan Mingxuan got a headache when he heard the commotion.

Today's birthday girl, Lin Yan, fell in love with Zhou Shen for a long time, but Zhou Shen had rejected her long ago.

Some time ago, Lin Yan came to him and said that it was her birthday and asked him to invite Zhou Shen over. Duan Mingxuan originally refused. After all, Zhou Shen was married. Although the relationship was not good, she could not push Zhou Shen into the fire.

But Lin Yan said she had no other intentions and just wanted to invite Zhou Shen to come. Duan Mingxuan couldn't resist the beauty's begging and agreed.
