“Li Wu, this is Yu Jingxing. He’s really nice. I bought too many things and couldn’t carry them, so he helped me bring them up.”
“He’s also our neighbor.”
“This is my little brother, Li Wu.”
Shu Xian introduced him.
“Hello.”
“Hello.”
The two nodded to each other in greeting.
“Uh, would you like to come to our place and sit for a while?”
Neither of them seemed to have any chemistry.
“Brother, that’s not a good idea. He probably…” doesn’t want to come.
“Sure.”
Yu Jingxing cut off Li Wu’s words.
“Come on in, please.”
“You two sit down. Since it’s noon, let’s just eat together and have hotpot.”
Shu Xian tossed out the line and slipped into the kitchen to deal with the ingredients.
Let them chat on their own.
“You live next door?”
Li Wu was the first to ask.
“Yeah, I just moved in.”
Li Wu nodded thoughtfully. Just like in the novel, their meeting really did seem fated.
Except for him and Gu Tingyuan being reincarnated, the meeting spots with the other two hadn’t changed. So why had the place where he met Yu Jingxing changed?
He had even deliberately avoided the area around the golf course, yet he still ran into him here.
“Is your brother single?”
Yu Jingxing’s words put Li Wu on alert.
“Why?”
“I like your brother.”
A faint smile curled on the man’s lips as he looked at the figure busy in the kitchen, a glint flashing in his eyes.
“He already has someone.”
“Oh? Who is it?”
Yu Jingxing withdrew his gaze and looked at Li Wu.
“Gu Tingyuan. He’s always on TV, so you should know him.”
“Mm, I know him.”
“This rival is quite challenging. I like that.”
The man’s smile turned a little sinister.
Only Li Wu knew how much of a pervert he was. He liked anything challenging and liked competing with others.
By whatever means necessary.
After snatching it away, he would casually throw it aside, because he had already gotten the thrill of victory from it.
“Come eat. The hotpot is ready.”
Shu Xian called them over.
“Thanks for the hospitality.”
“Oh, no need to be polite. We’re neighbors.”
“Can you eat spicy food?”
“I can eat anything.”
“Good, good.”
Shu Xian was very satisfied with this Yu Jingxing… gentle, gentlemanly, and able to eat spicy food. He was quite a good match for Li Wu.
“Little brother, you eat too. You love spicy food too, don’t you?”
“Yeah, brother, you eat too. I’ll serve myself.”
“Ding-ding~”
A phone rang.
He glanced at the caller ID. It was Gu Tingyuan.
Shu Xian still answered the call.
“Hello? What do you want?”
“Can I come to your place for dinner?”
“No. Don’t you have food at home?”
“My nanny is on leave, and I’m broke. All my black cards are with you.”
“Who are you trying to fool? You aren’t broke.”
Gu Tingyuan must have seen his friend circle before saying he wanted to come over.
“Are we friends or not? What’s the big deal about one meal?”
Shu Xian glanced at the two of them, thinking it would be good to stir things up a bit and push their relationship along.
“Fine, then come over.”
After hanging up, Shu Xian sent him the address.
“Brother, who’s coming?”
“Gu Tingyuan. He says he has no money for food. Just look at how ridiculous he is.”
“I’ll let him bum one meal from us, then.”
Shu Xian kept his head down and kept eating.
“Brother is too kind.”
Heh. Gu Tingyuan was rushing over to be used as a gun, so Li Wu would have to make good use of him.
Gu Tingyuan arrived quickly, carrying big and small bags.
“Oh, we have a guest?”
As soon as he came in, Gu Tingyuan saw Yu Jingxing.
The gold-rimmed glasses were just as annoying as they had been in the previous life.
“You came, and you even brought so many things.”
Shu Xian took them with a smile. Gu Tingyuan was quite considerate.
“These are tonics I bought for Shu Shu. Eat more of them; they’re good for your health.”
“Too many tonics can strain the liver.”
Yu Jingxing adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses and said that.
Although Li Wu was annoyed by his attitude, what the doctor said made sense.
Gu Tingyuan nodded.
“Then give them to Li Wu so they won’t go to waste.”
Li Wu: ?
Shu Xian: ? Are you even polite? You’re making your wife strain his liver with supplements?
“Eat up. This is yours.”
Shu Xian scooped a bowl of meat and vegetables from the pot for him.
“Thanks, Shu Shu. You know I don’t like spicy food.”
“Just eat. You talk too much.”
