Chapter 125 I like him more than yesterday

   Riverview Villa.

   A row of black cars drove into the parking lot downstairs of the hotel one after another, facing the afterglow of the setting sun.

  The middle-aged man waiting at the elevator entrance, pinched the microphone of his earphone, and summoned dozens of waiters wearing the same suits.

  The waiters all stepped forward, respectfully opened the car door for several distinguished guests, and led them to the garden in the backyard.

  Behind the arched door full of green leaves, a long table covered with white tablecloths was filled with delicious food and wine.

   There are two bonfire stoves beside the long table. The raging fire is disturbed by the breeze, and the blooming dance is reflected on the projection screen flashing through the blue water and blue sky, overlapping it into a beautiful picture scroll.

   "Anyone ordering a song?" Chu Yuzhou stood in front of the microphone to audition: "Chu sing a song for everyone."

   "You can sing whatever you want."

   "I can't sing casually."

   "Thinking out Loud." Pei Yilan picked the one he wouldn't know, but didn't want the prelude to sound in the next second.

   Chu Yuzhou, who was gradually invested, looked at the lyrics on the projection screen and hummed a soft melody.

  He stretches the tail: "Anddarlin'Iwill, Belovin'you, Tillwe'reseventy."

  The romantic atmosphere lasts until the end of the song.

  Lin Jiao was very enthusiastic: "It sounds good."

   Seeing him coming this way, she grabbed the red wine glass on the table and touched them.

  Chu Yuzhou, who was especially humble, said with a smile, "It's good for everyone to be satisfied."

   Pei Yilan pouted.

   She glanced behind him: "Some people have their tails up in the sky."

   "Are you jealous?"

   "What's there to be jealous of?"

   Seeing that they were about to quarrel again, Zhou Yanshen changed the topic in time: "Jiaojiao, how long until my girlfriend arrives?"

   "About eight o'clock."

   "One hour left." He raised his wrist slightly, his fingertips resting on the dial and tapped twice.

   Pei Zhi raised his eyes: "Are you going to talk tonight?"

"how come?"

   "Then why are you in a hurry?"

   "It's too empty here." Zhou Yanshen pointed at his heart and said casually, "I need someone to accompany you."

  Qu Shao was speechless.

   He waved off the petals on the side of the dinner plate, and asked out of curiosity, "What does your partner look like?"

   "I don't know yet."

   "You haven't even seen the photo?"

   "Appearance is not important." Zhou Yanshen looked at him quite seriously: "I care more about her inner self."

   "Do you believe this yourself?" Chu Yuzhou swallowed a piece of oyster meat and couldn't help but tear it down.

   "Why don't you believe it?"

   "If she has a pockmarked face and a bucket waist, do you still want to know her inner self?"

   "The key is that there is no if." Zhou Yan forked a steak and handed it to Lin Jiao: "Where can Jiaojiao's friend go?"

   "That's right." Chu Yuzhou bowed his head to pick up vegetables, and was irritating his body again: "No matter how bad it is, there is no worse than some people."

   "Chu Yuzhou, who are you Yin and Yang?"

   "Whoever takes the right seat is who."

   Pei Yilan grabbed his ear, and seemed to swallow him fiercely: "Do you say it again?"

   "I didn't tell you."

  Chu Yuzhou did not dare to recruit her again.

   Hearing his screaming chicken-like sound, Lin Jiao burst out laughing.

   She chewed the shrimp, took Pei Zhi's hand and scratched his palm lightly: "Don't feed me."

   Pei Zhi held her hand and prevented her from scratching again.

   "The last piece." He picked up a piece of roast chicken and fed it to her lips, waiting for her to swallow it before taking care of his stomach.

   Lin Jiao, who was always put first by him, stared at his profile face and was suddenly very touched.

   Taking advantage of no one's attention, she secretly kissed the corner of his lips and said softly, "Uncle, I like you more than yesterday."

   Pei Zhi's heartbeat slowed for half a beat.

   "Me too." He whispered in his ears, but these three simple words were full of all affection.

   They looked at each other and smiled, and the warm picture happened to be seen by Zhou Yan who turned his head.

   He leaned on the back of the stool and said, "Can you think about the feelings of single people?"

   "Are you single?"

   "She hasn't come yet, of course I count."

   "We are the real singles." Chu Yuzhou put down his knife and fork and had a cup of tea with Qu Shao.

   Pei Yilan followed: "And me." Although he didn't want to admit it, the truth was in front of him.

   "You haven't got Jiang Ye yet?"

"almost."

  Chu Yuzhou couldn't bear to pierce the expectations in her eyes.

   He sighed silently, and when night fell, he took the wine glass and walked with them to the bonfire.

   "Playing games?" He fiddled with the empty wine bottles, his eyes wandering around them.

   "Wait a minute." Lin Jiao, who received WeChat, looked at Zhou Yanshen: "They are at the door."

   Zhou Yanshen sat up instantly.

   He undid a collar button on his neck and tidied up his collar: "Yuzhou, sit down."

   "Okay." Chu Yuzhou vacated a seat.

   He looked at the two figures that were getting closer in the dim light: "Brother Yan, what's her name?"

   "Qian Yue." Zhou Yan narrowed his eyes.

   His gaze swept across her proud figure, and stopped on that extremely exotic cheek, which was inexplicably familiar.

   Qian Yue, who had been dressed up on purpose, walked up to them generously and greeted them with a smile.

  When she met Zhou Yanshen's gaze, she stretched out a hand to hold him, not mentioning anything about her meeting with him.

   "You sit first." Zhou Yanshen moved the chair and stool, quietly closing the distance between them.

   His actions made Qian Yue smile even more.

   She sat shyly on the soft chair, and didn't mean to take the initiative to talk to him, let alone look at him.

   Zhou Yanshen, who was looking for a topic, hadn't opened his mouth yet, but was preempted by Chu Yuzhou: "Qian Yue, are you a mixed race?"

"no."

   "Her mother is Uyghur." Pei Yilan poured a glass of champagne and handed it to her.

   "No wonder her facial features are so deep."

   "Where is your home?" Zhou Yanshen rubbed the lighter, but his eyes were not so straightforward.

  Qianyue took two sips of champagne: "Ili." She looked down: "Do you want to smoke?"

   "You're not used to the smell of smoke?"

"No."

   Zhou Yanshen asked her for advice, and after confirming that she didn't care, he slowly lit a cigarette.

   His overly gentlemanly appearance made Chu Yuzhou want to laugh.

   But for the sake of brotherhood, he had to hold back: "Let's play Truth or Dare?"

   "You guys play." Shen Yi was eating the roast chicken just brought by the waiter: "I'll fill my stomach first."

   "You didn't have dinner?"

   "There was an operation in the evening, so I didn't care."

   "Where's Qian Yue?"

   "I ate." Qian Yue stared at the wine bottle in his hand: "What's the way to play?"

  Chu Yuzhou explained the rules again: "Whoever the mouth of the bottle is aimed at is who." He handed the bottle to Pei Zhi: "The birthday star comes first."

   Pei Zhi turned around casually.

   Seeing that the mouth of the bottle was aimed at Lin Jiao, he laughed and asked, "Jiaojiao, which one do you want to play?"

"big Adventure."

   "Then you kiss me?"

   "Is this still possible?" Chu Yuzhou's eyes widened.

   He had reason to suspect that they were trying to show their affection through games: "Brother, why don't you say something challenging."
