Chapter 10, let us reconcile

I have no idea what Zhou Xiaoyu is really thinking. Just a moment ago, she seemed ready to argue, but as soon as we left the KTV, her expression changed completely. Although she verbally called me foolish and so on, her demeanor appeared incredibly gentle, showing no signs of wanting to quarrel at all. This left me, who was already prepared to have a big fight with Zhou Xiaoyu, completely at a loss as to what to do.

Although Zhou Xiaoyu knew I was talking nonsense, she still wore a happy expression on her face. "Although what you said seems a bit like flattery, I will take the high road and not hold it against you."

My stepfather's family is quite wealthy, and I had heard about this even before my mother married him. Regarding what Zhou Xiaoyu said about my stepfather advising her not to fall out with Yang Yu, I can understand that. Overall, my stepfather is relatively open-minded; he did not allow Zhou Xiaoyu to directly get engaged to Yang Yu.

In Wenzhou, this is mostly the case; the merchants here tend to band together, and the natural catalyst for this camaraderie is kinship. Therefore, when news reports highlight Wenzhou bosses going bankrupt, it often involves a dozen or so who have fled after making donations.

It turns out that Yang Yu's father and my stepfather are business partners in the book industry. My stepfather specifically told Zhou Xiaoyu to avoid falling out with Yang Yu, which is why they appeared somewhat close. However, later in the private room, Yang Yu took advantage of Zhou Xiaoyu having had a bit too much to drink and began to get hands-on. Zhou Xiaoyu's classmates were cheering him on from the side, and she felt embarrassed to ruin the atmosphere for everyone, so she kept enduring it.

As the conversation progressed, I began to hesitate, all the courage I had just moments ago seemed to have vanished into the Yandang Mountains. Zhou Xiaoyu raised an eyebrow and asked, "What? Are you actually concerned about me?"

Seeing Zhou Xiaoyu's beaming expression, I felt reluctant to expose the truth. I cleared my throat and finally asked the question that had been on my mind, "How did you end up with Yang Yu? Moreover, it seems like you two, you two..."

I quickly said it was nothing, and Zhou Xiaoyu looked at me with disbelief. Fortunately, she did not pursue the matter further, but instead walked in front of me with her hands behind her back, smiling as she said, "I didn't expect you to actually have the courage to come in here and say that to me. To be honest, although you don't look that great, you were quite handsome in that moment just now."

What does it mean to have the suspicion of flattery? I am just flattering, alright? Women, oh women, you always love to deceive yourselves like this

Zhou Xiaoyu's words startled me greatly. I looked at her in astonishment, wondering if she had discovered my feelings. But that seemed unlikely, as I only realized I liked her tonight. However, seeing the playful expression on Zhou Xiaoyu's face, I understood she was teasing me. Clearly, she had not found out, and I felt a sense of relief. I replied, "How could that be? I would never fall for someone like you, who has neither a chest nor a backside."

However... I do not understand why Zhou Xiaoyu would do this. That slap just now was quite genuine. Could it be that she really wants to take me out

It was only after I entered that Zhou Xiaoyu found an excuse to come out

Although I appeared indifferent on the surface, I still listened attentively to Zhou Xiaoyu's words

Wei Zi said, "You are really impressive!"

My words provoked Zhou Xiaoyu, and in her anger, she reached out and twisted my ear and the book in my hand, exclaiming loudly, "What did you say!"

Just as I was about to say something, Wei Zi also ran out from the KTV. Upon seeing Zhou Xiaoyu, who was holding my hand, he looked at me in panic and mouthed something. Zhou Xiaoyu looked confused, but I understood clearly.

I was curious about what it was, so I quickly reached into my pants.

Zhou Xiaoyu looked at me with curiosity and asked what Wei Zi had just put into my pocket

After listening to Zhou Xiaoyu, I finally breathed a sigh of relief; so it was like this

My favorite song by Mayday is "Stubborn," so I carry my last bit of stubbornness, standing strong and unyielding... I quietly say, "It's nothing, how could I not like someone as intelligent, beautiful, kind, lovely, charming, and generous as you?"

"But what can it be?" Zhou Xiaoyu shot me a glance, then suddenly burst into laughter, "I didn't expect you to care about me so much. You wouldn't have fallen for me, would you?"

I did not speak; I feel that if I directly express my concern for Zhou Xiaoyu, this little girl would definitely mock me. Moreover, Zhou Xiaoyu is clearly aware that sometimes I enjoy being stubborn and talking on my own.

Oh my, it's actually a cover!

"Get lost!" Zhou Xiaoyu exclaimed without any trace of ladylike demeanor. I suddenly realized that the tense relationship between Zhou Xiaoyu and me had eased due to the events of the evening; at least, it seemed that our relationship was not too bad now.

After Wei Zi gave me two cases, he left. Watching him leave with an air of nonchalance, as if he were hiding his merits and fame, I felt an overwhelming urge to strike him down.

Take Wei Zi as an example. Aside from the fact that he is my close friend, he is essentially an uneducated wastrel. Other than being somewhat skilled at attracting women, he has no redeeming qualities. However, he already has a fiancée, and although they are not officially engaged, the matter is practically settled.

At that moment, Zhou Xiaoyu also realized that she was holding my hand, and she quickly blushed and moved her hand away. Meanwhile, Wei Zi came over and patted my shoulder forcefully, rummaged through his pocket, and stuffed something into mine without my knowing. Then he leaned closer to my head and whispered, "I originally planned to use this myself tonight, but who told you to be my brother? Make it last, there are only two."

I shamelessly raised an eyebrow and said to Zhou Xiaoyu, "Right? I also think I'm quite handsome. I must warn you not to fall for me because falling for me is a very dangerous thing. You will become obsessed, turning into my die-hard fan, unable to extricate yourself. In the end, you will gradually become someone who cannot live without me."

Seeing me in a daze, Zhou Xiaoyu laughed so hard that she trembled like a flower, and said, "Do you really think I want to argue with you? Didn't you see that group of people surrounding you just now? If I hadn't found an excuse to bring you out, you would have been beaten to death!"

I don't know why, but I feel that this is quite good now. The two of us bicker and argue, which feels very intimate and warm. At this moment, Zhou Xiaoyu suddenly turned her head, her beautiful big eyes fixed on me, and a small blush spread across her delicate cheeks. "Let's make up; I think you're quite a nice person, and I don't want to argue with you anymore"

It is utterly shameless, almost on par with my own shamelessness. I believe that if I were to claim the first position in the realm of shamelessness, Wei Zi could easily secure the second or third place. With a bit of effort, he might even snatch away my first position.
