Chapter 176: Chapter 176: Good Brothers

Xiao Yu’an hung up the phone.

An inexplicable fire flared up in his chest.

What kind of brother is this?

Heh.

Hehehe!!

Other brothers would go to any length for you, he’d still stab you after you’re down.

How loyal.

The phone rang for the nth time again, and Xiao Yu’an only picked up because he was annoyed.

“Hahahahaha…”

Zhou Chaobin burst into laughter, his laughter like clanging bells echoing in Xiao Yu’an’s ear.

Xiao Yu’an was on the verge of exploding: “Are you…”

“Alright, alright, I know you’re upset, but don’t be too upset, look, Director Mu likes what? Likes playing games. Do you like playing games?”

“Nope.”

“OK, within her favorite interests, there’s one you don’t like, fine, do you like anime?”

“Nope.”

“OKK, don’t like two things, fine, do you like watching documentaries?”

“Nope.”

“You don’t like so many things, you two seldom meet, who else is she gonna cheat on you with if not you?” Zhou Chaobin was speechless. “Nowadays, love is all about being quick and accurate, you have to share the hobbies she likes, then do things together for the relationship to work, got it?”

“I don’t get it.” Xiao Yu’an believed that being with Mu Ran, no matter what they did, he was happy.

Whether it was his hobby or Mu Ran’s.

As long as he was with her, Xiao Yu’an felt very happy.

“No wonder you got cheated on. That pretty boy shares the same interests as Director Mu, likes documentaries, likes anime, likes games — they have so much to talk about. Do you even understand games? The thrill of two people working together in a game to win is truly wonderful.”

“I’m not looking for a war buddy.”

Xiao Yu’an had no idea what he was talking about.

“You old fossil!!!” Zhou Chaobin roared, “This is how love is these days.”

“Not between us.”

Xiao Yu’an sensed that Mu Ran never asked him to watch documentaries, play games, or watch anime.

She was only insistent when it came to snacks.

But she would also respect him!

Definitely not like Zhou Chaobin said.

“Mu Ran isn’t that shallow, don’t compare her to others.”

Zhou Chaobin closed his eyes, his fingers pressing his temples.

That’s how the world of someone in love is: my partner is always different from others, don’t pollute my partner with those trashy comparisons.

“Then why did you get cheated on?”

Xiao Yu’an noticed something strange about Mu Ran’s breakup this time. Clearly, there was still affection in her eyes, but sometimes anger would override affection.

What did he do that made her dissatisfied?

“I didn’t get cheated on, I was just dumped, please speak properly.”

“Right, being dumped immediately followed by a standby guy, if that’s not being cheated on, then what is?” Zhou Chaobin was convinced, the ability of those in love to deceive themselves was unparalleled, “Stop deceiving yourself, stop putting a filter on Mu Ran.”

“She’s not with Yun Fei!” Xiao Yu’an couldn’t stand anyone slandering Mu Ran, not even a little bit, “You, a love expert who’s never had a serious relationship for a year, go have one before you teach me.”

Zhou Chaobin: “!!!”

“Ha, you, you, you…”

Boohoohoo, he broke the rules, talking about Xiao Yu’an’s love life, yet it hit his own heart.

Xiao Yu’an hung up the phone, starting to reminisce about his moments with Mu Ran, feeling something wasn’t right.

After staying in the study for a while,

Xiao Yu’an ordered fried skewers and barbecue through a delivery app.

Half an hour later, the housekeeper brought it in, confused about the wealthy people’s choices, ordering such cheap things in such a big house?

Could this be what’s called being down-to-earth?

Xiao Yu’an was reminded of people when he saw these things.

Seeing the barbecue instantly took him back to when they were at the barbecue stand, with the evening breeze, drinking beer, beautiful and romantic.

The fried food was even more significant.

Those days, they indulged in loving each other every day.

When leaving, Mu Ran clung to him reluctantly, so Xiao Yu’an simply said he wouldn’t leave.

Mu Ran then said, “We need to have our own careers so we can appreciate each other better.”

He believed her nonsense.

He worked hard.

Only to end up with a breakup.

The barbecue and fried skewers without her felt utterly tasteless.

To avoid wasting food, Xiao Yu’an numbly continued eating, then Zhou Chaobin came over to his house.

Zhou Chaobin saw what he was eating and sneered, “Your choice of food is a bit too poor, isn’t it?”

“You’re being a bit too nosy.”

“Tsk, I brought some good wine, do you want a bottle?”

“No, I want beer.”

Xiao Yu’an bought beer.

Seeing the cheap beer, Zhou Chaobin decided to accompany him, “I’m really treating you like a brother, drinking something this cheap for the first time in my life.”

“Pretentious.”

“You, what do you mean pretentious? As a noble young master, a bit of pretentiousness is expected, unlike you, a complete roughneck, who totally doesn’t understand what elegance means!” Zhou Chaobin snorted, “I’m a famous pretty boy in our circle.”

Xiao Yu’an gave him a once-over, “Heh.”

“Hey, what’s with that laugh, if you don’t believe me, ask Song Biao!” Zhou Chaobin was indignant, you can criticize me on anything but not my looks, “I’m the most handsome.”

“Ugh…”

Xiao Yu’an couldn’t bear to look directly.

“You have no sense of appreciation.” Zhou Chaobin rolled his eyes at him, “Anyway, what do you like so much about Mu Ran? Even if she’s indeed outstanding, good-looking, talented, and from a good family… Fine, you’re pretty lucky she even chose you; up to now, I’ve never been loved by a strong woman, I’m so sad, I must find a strong woman to be a puppy lover for once, to enjoy being adored by an older sister.”

Hearing the words ’puppy lover’ now made Xiao Yu’an feel disgusted: “If you’re not speaking, you can close your mouth.”

“No, I’m going to speak, my mouth is my own, I can say whatever I want.” Zhou Chaobin snorted, “I’m so beautiful, so understood in love tricks, surely I’ll get along well with a strong woman, I even understand bed tricks, surely I can serve a strong woman well.”

“Then go ahead.”

“Hey, should I ask Mu Ran to introduce someone to me?” Zhou Chaobin asked.

Xiao Yu’an raised his eyelids and gave him a chilly look.

Zhou Chaobin bowed his head to eat the fried skewers. Don’t say, the skewers actually tasted good, crispy and crunchy. As they say online, junk food is the top-tier deliciousness.

So true.

Suddenly, Xiao Yu’an asked, “Aren’t you already in a relationship? Why are you thinking about the next one?”

Zhou Chaobin: “Ah, it’s all just for fun.”

Xiao Yu’an: “You’re such a jerk!”

“I’m not, I don’t cheat, I’m generous to her and respectful, we’re just meeting each other’s needs. When my family thinks I’ve had enough fun and should settle down, they’ll arrange a wife for me.”
