In the middle of the meal, Yang Lei went to the restroom. As he was relieving himself, Ding Wen also walked in and stood next to him, relieving himself. Yang Lei felt that Ding Wen’s eyes kept staring at his lower body. It felt a little weird. When Yang Lei went to wash his hands, Ding Wen also followed, washing his hands next to him.

“Yang Lei, your figure is so nice.”

This was Yang Lei’s first time encountering someone who came up to compliment a man for his nice figure. He was not used to it.

“Is that so?”

He responded indifferently.

“These jeans are quite nice. Where did you buy them?”

Ding Wen asked gently, his eyes on Yang Lei’s crotch.

“Oh, a friend gave it to me.”

“It must be from Hong Kong. Look at this brand. It’s a designer brand.”

Ding Wen reached out his hand and stroked the iron tag on the jeans at Yang Lei’s lower back.

“This belt is also good.” Ding Wen’s hand touched the belt very naturally. “Look here. This brand is very expensive.”

“Is that so?”

Yang Lei also lowered his head and glanced at the brand. He had carelessly bought this belt and didn’t pay attention to the brand.

At this time, someone else entered the restroom. Yang Lei raised his head and saw Fang Yu.

As soon as Fang Yu went in, he saw Ding Wen’s hand touching Yang Lei’s waist.

Seeing Fang Yu enter, Ding Wen retracted his hand. He smiled politely at Fang Yu and nodded.

Fang Yu also nodded his head slightly.

Yang Lei and Ding Wen went out together.

Fang Yu turned around and glanced at them.

This Ding Wen definitely couldn’t fight compared to Hua Mao, but in pursuing what he loved, his methods were much cleverer than Hua Mao’s.

At the dinner table, he heard Yang Lei casually talk about some problems related to equipment. The next day, Ding Wen found Yang Lei and said he could settle the equipment.

Ding Wen got the equipment very quickly using connections. He helped Yang Lei greatly, and Yang Lei was quite thankful to him. Ding Wen started to visit Yang Lei frequently at the company. Out of consideration for this assistance, Yang Lei was also quite polite to him. Over time, they started to become close.

But Yang Lei was definitely not dumb. From the ways Ding Wen behaved, Yang Lei had guessed what kind of person Ding Wen was and what he felt towards him.

Later, when Ding Wen made it clear to him, Yang Lei also clearly rejected him. Yang Lei was never vague in these matters. This Ding Wen was also a smart person and understood how to retreat in order to advance. He very openly said that it was fine. As long as you don’t look down on me, we are still friends. He still often invited Yang Lei to play at his place.

Yang Lei actually went, and when he went, he was quite addicted. He even went to Ding Wen’s house often.

Of course, what drew Yang Lei was not Ding Wen, but it was something in Ding Wen’s house – a computer.

In those years, computers were definitely high-tech toys, luxury goods. They were very rare in ordinary people’s houses. Only a small number of some government officials and technical workers would have them and use them. Of course, later, computers spread very quickly, but when Ding Wen invited Yang Lei over, computers were definitely rare.

Yang Lei was exposed to this new thing in Ding Wen’s house, and he was a little addicted. After all, that was a completely new and magical world, stimulating Yang Lei’s curiosity and desire for knowledge.

DOS system, WPS, input lines, character strings… These things were all antiques among antiques now, and they could almost surpass fossils in their antiquity, but at that time, they were the most fashionable and technical goods. After Yang Lei became addicted, he went to Ding Wen’s place every night to play on the computer. Ding Wen was very welcoming every time. He always let Yang Lei use the computer and taught him how to use it. Yang Lei could use it for as long as he wanted.

On one hand, Yang Lei was interested in computers. On the other hand, he also desperately needed to do other things to divert his attention from Fang Yu.

This method of playing on the computer was quite effective. At least when Yang Lei played with the computer, he could concentrate, and he wouldn’t think about those troublesome matters between himself and Fang Yu.

Because of this, the number of times Yang Lei and Fang Yu met clearly decreased.

Before, when it was night, Yang Lei stuck to Fang Yu most of the time. But ever since that night, Yang Lei hadn’t gone to Fang Yu’s house again.

Although the two of them had already talked about it and agreed that they would still be good brothers, it couldn’t completely be the same as before. Yang Lei and Fang Yu were both clear about this.

Fang Yu still went to eat or play something with Yang Lei, and Yang Lei also went to the Grand Century Hotel to sit with Fang Yu. But, it was just like this. Sometimes at night, after he had a meal with Fang Yu and a few older brothers, Yang Lei would still be thinking about going to play on that computer. So, he wouldn’t go with them afterward to sing or whatever. He would leave early and go straight to Ding Wen’s place.

Yang Lei and Ding Wen were close, Fang Yu had heard.

Furthermore, the things of the world were truly coincidental. Where Ding Wen lived wasn’t far from Fang Yu’s place. It was a neighborhood just two blocks away.

Fang Yu also knew what kind of person Ding Wen was.

That day at Hua Mao’s birthday dinner table, Ding Wen’s naked expression as he looked at Yang Lei, was exactly the same as how Hua Mao looked at Fang Yu in the beginning. Before, Fang Yu may not have understood, but with the lesson learned from Hua Mao, Fang Yu understood after looking a few times.

Furthermore, Hua Mao had brought Ding Wen. It wasn’t hard to guess what kind of friend he was to Hua Mao. But Fang Yu had truly never thought that this Ding Wen, who looked very normal, was actually the same as Hua Mao.

At the dinner table, Yang Lei may have been fine, but seeing Ding Wen’s staring, Fang Yu’s face had already sunk. To Fang Yu’s eyes, that gaze filled with other meanings was one that was insulting to Yang Lei. It quite bothered Fang Yu. Because it was Hua Mao’s birthday, he held back and didn’t lose his temper. If it were according to Fang Yu’s fiery personality before he was 20, he would long have dealt with people who bothered him on the spot. Could he let the other person sit safe and sound until now?

But even if Fang Yu lost his temper, it would seem as if it had come out of nowhere. After all, Yang Lei didn’t really react, and the other person had just looked at him a few more times. His gaze was a little hot and strange, but he didn’t do anything.

That day, all the people at the table realized that Fang Yu’s face had fallen. They all knew how to read his mood, although they didn’t know why Fang Yu’s face had fallen. At the end, no one dared to talk carelessly. Only Hua Mao, the man of the hour, who had drunk too much and wasn’t aware, spoke nonstop. Ding Wen, who didn’t know how to read the room, was teasing Yang Lei into speaking.
