Xu Jiaojiao subconsciously turned around to look. The man who walked in had one hand on the doorframe and the other on his waist. His face was filled with pain.
Faced with Xu Jiaojiaoâs curious and innocent gaze, Lin Feng put down his hand and leaned against the door, revealing a harmless smile. âXu Loli, could you help me?â
Xu Loli?
Was that his nickname for her?
Xu Jiaojiao hesitated, not knowing if she should help him. Suddenly, a large hand stopped her. âDonât bother with him. Heâs fine.â
Lin Fengâs face twitched. Fine? In what world was he fine?!!
Xu Zhengyang slowly walked over with a wine glass in his hand and said sarcastically, âWell, well. Young Master Lin can still breathe!â
Lin Feng coldly glanced at him. He gritted his teeth and said, âXu Zhengyang, Iâll get back at you for this sooner or later.â
âBring it on.â
Lin Feng shifted his gaze from Xu Zhengyang to Qi Shenbai and then to Xu Jiaojiao. He fell silent.
Fine, he was never going to get his revenge.
Xu Jiaojiao looked at the three of them with her big black eyes. These three really got along, huh? Otherwise, they would not have been able to fight so brazenly.
Besides, this new guy was quite funny.
Qi Shenbai knew that she was curious. His thin lips parted slightly as he explained simply, âThis is Lin Feng, a friend of your brother and me.â
Xu Jiaojiao looked at Lin Feng. âHello, my name is Xu Jiaojiao. Iâm his younger sister.â
She pointed at Xu Zhengyang.
â1 know.â A playful smile appeared on Lin Fengâs face as he said meaningfully, âYouâre Qi Shenbaiâs little wife, right? The one who caused my bar to be reported for hosting underage girls on its opening day.â
âUhâ¦â The smile on Xu Jiaojiaoâs face instantly froze. So, he was Qi Shenbaiâs friend who ran that bar!
Oh my god, just when she thought today could not get any more awkwardâ¦
Xu Jiaojiao said embarrassedly, âIâm sorry, 1 didnât mean to trouble you.â
Lin Feng waved his hand generously. âItâs no big deal. In any case, someone will pay for the losses.â
After saying that, he even glanced at Qi Shenbai.
Xu Jiaojiao was so embarrassed that she did not dare to look at him. She stared at her toes and naturally did not notice Lin Fengâs teasing gaze. She thought that her brother was making it up to him on her behalf.
Glancing at the time on her phone, she found an excuse to slip away. âYou guys chat first. Iâll go to the kitchen.â
Qi Shenbaiâs deep gaze followed her back. He did not try to hide the tenderness in his eyes at all.
Lin Feng sucked in a breath of cold air. âUgh, I smell jealousy in the air!â
Xu Zhengyang laughed at him. âIf youâre single, you shouldnât stay too long. Jealousy is toxic!â
Lin Feng laughed instead of getting angry. âAs if you have a girlfriend.â
âI can get one whenever I want!â Xu Zhengyangâs smile was very annoying. âCan you? Oh, right⦠You just angered your lover of more than ten years, and she ran away. Of course, you donât have anyone anymore.â
Lin Feng gritted his teeth, swearing inwardly,
âI will never forgive you for my entire life!â
Qi Shenbai lowered his eyes, impatience flashing across his eyes. âAre you guys going to stay at my house forever?â
These two were clearly getting in his way.
Lin Feng snorted lightly. âWhat happened to bros over hoes? What a waste of my goodwill! Goodbye!â
After taking two steps, though, he thought of something and turned to look at Qi Shenbai. The smile on his face disappeared and was replaced by a serious expression. âDonât blame yourself for everything. That incident was not your fault. Youâve imprisoned yourself in the past for so long. Itâs time for you to move on.â
He glanced past the kitchen. Perhaps that young lady could really bring sunshine to his world and chase away the shadows of his past.
âI hope youâll be happy every day from now on, Old Qi.â
Qi Shenbai lowered his gaze. The look in his eyes was hidden by his thick eyelashes. He did not say anything.
After Lin Feng left, Xu Zhengyang cast him a sidelong glance. âWant to go upstairs for a drink?â
He swirled the glass in his hand.
Qi Shenbai hesitated for a moment. After glancing at the kitchen for a few seconds, he slowly nodded.
On the second floor was a small enclosed balcony with a round glass tea table and two gray chairs. The two men sat facing each other, looking up into the cold night.
Xu Zhengyang took a sip of the strong wine and licked the cold liquid on his lips. He took a deep breath and, for once, did not smile cheekily. Instead, he had a serious expression on his face. âQi Shenbai, are you serious about Jiaojiao?â
Qi Shenbai glanced sideways at him and replied without hesitation, âSheâs the only one for me.â
Those six simple words were as heavy as iron..
