Gao Yang stared at Zhuang Pu Yang and frowned deeply. For a moment, he did not know how to answer Zhuang Pu Yang's question.

Did he say that he came to their house because he wanted to make a fool of himself?

Did he say that he had rushed in impulsively when he found out that he and Xi Chen were alone in the room?

Could it be that he felt a pang in his heart when he saw his and Xi Chen's clothes in disarray?

No, you can't say any of this!

He was Gao Yang, the man who had never had a crush on any woman in the past twenty years!

"Gao Yang?"

Zhuang Pu Yang looked at his good friend with a profound gaze.

Gao Yang turned his head and looked at Zhuang Poyang. His heart had already calmed down and his expression was very calm. He looked at Zhuang Yang Pu Zi who was leaning against the desk and said indifferently: "Xi Chen, she's not your cousin, is she?"

"Yes."

When Gao Yang, who still had a glimmer of hope, heard Zhuang Pu Yang's words, the fire of hope in his heart was completely extinguished.

"I see." Gao Yang raised his head and stood up. "I'll be leaving first, you go ahead." After saying that, he left without looking back.

Just as he walked to the door, he saw Xi Chen bringing a cup of coffee. Gao Yang smiled at Xi Chen and left without saying anything.

Zhuang Pu Yang lowered his head, not knowing what he was thinking.

"That …"

Xi Chen looked at Zhuang Pu Yang, not knowing what to do. After hesitating for a moment, he saw that Zhuang Pu Yang did not have any intentions of talking to him, so he carried the coffee and left.

When Gao Yang got home, he bit his lips and dialed Xi Chen's number.

Xi Chen, who had returned to his room, looked at the caller curiously. Didn't we meet just now? If you didn't say anything, why did you call? Strange.

Even though he was thinking this in his heart, Xi Chen still answered the phone. His sweet voice rang: "Gao Yang, is there something you need me for?"

Gao Yang held onto his phone tightly and took a deep breath before he said slowly: "Xi Chen, are you free tomorrow? There are some things I want to talk to you about. "

"Hmm?" Xi Chen was stunned. He thought for a moment, but still agreed, "Alright, I'm free. You can come anytime."

"Mm, then that's it. Sleep early, good night."

"Good night."

After hanging up, Xi Chen shrugged and hugged his quilt as he fell asleep.

In the study room, Zhuang Pu Yang looked at the photo in front of him as his fingers slid across the girl's face again and again with a gentle smile.

"Yue Rou, I still can't fulfill my promise to you. I'm sorry, but I don't regret it …" A deep voice rang out slowly. Back then, when the two of them eloped, he had promised her that he wouldn't do anything to her family. However, he broke his promise.

He let out a sigh and tucked the photo away in the book. His memories came to an abrupt end as he looked at the computer. His hands rapidly typed on it. Since he had already decided to do it, he would not let it go.

The next day, after Xi Chen finished his lunch, the doorbell rang.

"Gao Yang, you're here." When Xi Chen thought of Gao Yang's phone call yesterday, he thought it was him. When he opened the door, it was Li Xiaoyu.

Xi Chen was stunned for a moment. When he saw Li Xiaoyu's tired face and her obviously drunk look, he immediately helped her body up.

"Xiao Yu, what happened to you?"

The pungent smell of the wine made Xi Chen frown. He called for Mama Zhang and the two of them carried Li Xiaoyu to Xi Chen's room on the second floor.

At this moment, Li Xiaoyu's eyes were lifeless as she laid on the bed and stared at the ceiling.

"Mrs Zhang, can I trouble you to get me a bowl of hangover soup?" Xi Chen covered Li Xiaoyu with the blanket and said to Mrs. Zhang.

"Yes, miss."

Only after Mrs Zhang left did Xi Chen let out a sigh. He turned his head to look at the motionless Li Xiaoyu on the bed and his eyes were filled with worry: "Xiaoyu, what happened to you? "Why are you drinking like this?"

Just when Xi Chen thought Li Xiaoyu would not speak, Li Xiaoyu said: "Xi Chen …"

Her choked voice gave Xi Chen a bad feeling. Seeing that she was struggling to get up, he immediately put a pillow under her and let her lean against it.

"Slow down, what's going on? How did you become like this? " Li Xiaoyu took a deep breath and finally forced the tears back into her eyes. Then, she turned to Xi Chen and said.

"I confessed yesterday."

"And then?"

Seeing Li Xiaoyu like this, the result was obviously not good. However, Xi Chen still wanted Li Xiaoyu to say it out loud. After all, he did not know what had happened.

Li Xiaoyu closed her eyes. She seemed to be thinking about what had happened last night, unable to speak for a long time.

Xi Chen did not rush her and helped her to feel a little better. Then, he asked: "Xiao Yu, you did not agree, right?"

"No, he agreed."

"You've agreed to it?" Xi Chen frowned, "Then what happened to you?"

Li Xiaoyu shook her head and took a deep breath. She looked at Xi Chen and said slowly: "This morning, I found out that he had a fiancee."

"What!"

Xi Chen was shocked. He did not expect such an outcome. A trace of sadness flashed across his eyes, "Didn't I tell you? How could it be like this? "

I don't know, I was really happy when he agreed to it, but this morning, I received a call from a stranger and found out that it was her fiancee. They are childhood sweethearts and are compatible, and I don't know what to do, so after getting a leave from the manager, I walked to the bar, but I was still sober, so I came to find you.

At this time, Li Xiaoyu was extremely helpless. She could not help but ask while holding Xi Chen's hand. She could not hold back her tears anymore.

Xi Chen sighed and thought for a moment. Then, he asked: "Have you heard about his fiancee calling you? You didn't tell him? "

"No, I don't know what to say. The phone is off. I'm scared. Afraid I'll get an unfinished phone call." Li Xiaoyu said while crying.

Xi Chen took out a tissue and dried her tears: "Xiao Yu, stay here for now. I'll call your parents later and tell them that we'll think of something when you're in a good mood. Now go take a shower and have a good sleep." Xi Chen took out his pajamas from the wardrobe and handed them to Li Xiaoyu.

Li Xiaoyu also knew that she needed to rest at this moment. She was dizzy as she entered the bathroom and flushed out. At this moment, Mrs Zhang walked in and placed the sobering soup on the table and said, "Miss, Mister Gao is here."

Xi Chen froze for a moment. Then, he thought of Gao Yang and nodded: "Ok, I'll go down now."

He looked at Li Xiaoyu in the bathroom and felt worried. It was only when Li Xiaoyu fell asleep that he walked down.

Seeing Gao Yang, she quickly took a few steps forward: "Gao Yang, I've made you wait for a long time. A friend of mine came, and she's in a bad mood. I was afraid something might happen to her, so I waited until she fell asleep before coming over." As he spoke, he sat down across from Gao Yang.

Gao Yang smiled in understanding: "It's fine, Xi Chen. I already know that you are not Zhuang Poyang's cousin, right?"

The smile froze on his face as he nodded: "Yes, I'm not his cousin. I don't even know the relationship between him and me."

"Do you like him?"

When Gao Yang asked this question, he became nervous as well. However, Xi Chen did not even notice Gao Yang's actions. He only smiled and nodded: "I like it."

Gao Yang's eyes dimmed and he nodded his head. "Hur hur, I understand."

Xi Chen looked at Gao Yang. He did not know why Gao Yang would ask such a question: "Gao Yang, are you alright?"

"No worries, I still have some matters to attend to, so I'll be leaving first." With that, Gao Yang left as if he was escaping.

Xi Chen shrugged and looked strangely at Gao Yang's back. Then, he went upstairs. He only came down when he saw Li Xiaoyu had fallen asleep.

That night, when he heard Zhuang Pu Yang's footsteps, Xi Chen quickly opened the door and looked at him with a smile. Zhuang Yang Pu frowned and asked: "What happened?"

Xi Chen did not speak. He waited until Zhuang Pu Yang had changed his shoes before pulling him to the sofa: "Zhuang Yang Pu, have you seen anything today?"

"Nope." Zhuang Pu Yang frowned and said.

"Phew, that's good." Xi Chen let out a sigh of relief, and under Zhuang Poyang's puzzled gaze, he said, "Xiao Yu came to find me today. There's a problem between the two of them, so please don't tell her that you're at our house, okay?"

"Yes." Zhuang Pu Yang replied.

"About that, can you take me out to buy something? "Xiaoyu didn't bring anything with her …" Xi Chen slowly said as he stuck out his tongue.

Zhuang Pu Yang raised his eyebrows and looked at the hope in Xi Chen's eyes as he said lightly: "I'm very busy." Then he went up to the second floor.

Xi Chen's heart sank to the bottom and his eyes dimmed.

He had originally wanted to use the excuse of buying things from Xiaoyu to stroll around the mall with him, but he didn't expect that he would still fail …

With a self-deprecating smile, Xi Chen picked up his bag and walked out.

Looking at the endless stream of people, Xi Chen sighed: "It's very lively now. Unfortunately, I don't have you around …"

Taking a deep breath, Xi Chen took a taxi and sat on it.

Zhuang Poyang had given her a lot of money, but no matter how much she brushed, she couldn't finish it. However, she didn't want this, but she knew that she would never be able to give the money she wanted to her.

She slowly closed her eyes as a bitter smile formed on her lips. If she could reverse the flow of time, would it be possible for her to not get to know Zhuang Pu Yang …

"Miss, we're here."

"Thank you." After getting off the car, Xi Chen bought some daily necessities. Looking at the Ni lanterns on the tall buildings, a sense of loneliness rose from his heart.

He lowered his head and slowly walked home.

Ah!

"I'm sorry, Miss."

Xi Chen touched his head and looked at the person in front of him. He was stunned for a moment before he said: "Sorry, I was not looking at the road."

When the man in front of him saw Xi Chen, he raised his eyebrows and smiled: "I'm fine." Then he dragged his suitcase and left.

Xi Chen looked at the man's back in a daze. He was so beautiful. To think that a man would be so pretty. He shook his head and smiled as he returned home.
