Chapter 166 Childhood Friends (21)

Duan Ming shrugged innocently, "Duan Xu is the president of the student union. Most people in the school know him. Do I know he's weird? I heard you guys live together. So you're together? On the surface you're brothers and friends, but in reality you're a couple?"

Chen Ye said, "It's none of your business" and walked away.

During the summer vacation of their sophomore year, Chen Ye and Duan Xu did not go home. They both interned at companies in the capital.

The company where they were interning was very close, and Duan Xu would usually stop by to pick up Chen Ye after work.

When Chen Ye got off work that day, Duan Xu had something to do and did not come to pick him up, so Chen Ye took the bus back alone.

When they arrived at the bus stop, Chen Ye got off the bus, which was still a few hundred meters away.

Just as he reached the gate of the community, a drunk man in his forties staggered up to Chen Ye and bumped into him hard.

"Fuck, you don't have eyes."

Chen Ye: "You bumped into me first. You are the one who didn't have eyes."

The drunk was cursing and swearing. He was so angry and humiliated that under the influence of alcohol, he raised his fist to hit Chen Ye, but before he could hit him, his hand was held down by someone.

The drunk man opened his eyes wide and watched his hand being twisted 90 degrees. The severe pain from his wrist made him grimace.

"Who are you? Let me go!"

"Leave far away."

After Duan Xu uttered these words coldly, he let go of the drunk's hand. The drunk's hand felt severe pain. He seemed to sober up and left quickly.

Chen Ye turned around and asked, "Aren't you working overtime?"

Duan Xu slowly took out a wet wipe from his clothes, opened it, wiped his hands, and then threw the wet wipe into the trash can.

"I changed my schedule and left work early. I wanted to go out and buy some groceries before driving to pick you up, but I didn't expect to run into you. What happened to that guy just now?"

"I don't know, maybe he drank too much." Chen Ye, "Forget about him, let's go back together."

The two people walked into the community, and Duan Ming, who had been hiding in the dark, narrowed his eyes.

The drunk man who had just reeked of alcohol bowed and nodded in front of him, "Master, I didn't expect someone would suddenly come out to help that kid."

Duan Ming sneered. It was originally a good opportunity for him to get close to Chen Ye, but it was snatched away by Duan Xu.

He waved at the drunk, lowered his head and whispered a few words in his ear. The drunk looked conflicted, "That's not good, Master."

"I'll give you fifty thousand after the matter is done."

The drunk nodded immediately. He was used to being poor and would do anything to make money, so he was also a frequent visitor to the police station.

"No problem, Master."

After the drunk left, Duan Ming stared at a house on the fifth floor outside the community for a long time, and only withdrew his gaze when the curtains were drawn.

Brother, I will definitely take away your things.

……

At home, Duan Xu takes care of most of the housework, but sometimes Chen Ye will also help share some of the work.

On the weekend morning, Chen Ye woke up very early and began to clean up the bedroom. He and Duan Xu slept together yesterday. Duan Xu got up very early and was already in the kitchen making breakfast.

Chen also yawned and tidied up Duan Xu's desk. There were several of Duan Xu's professional books and a few novels on the desk.

Duan Xu's phone on the table suddenly lit up, showing that someone had sent a message on WeChat.

Chen Ye glanced casually and saw the message sent by the sender.

[What do you think about what I told you last night? Do you have an answer? ]

The WeChat notification sound rang, and the other party sent another message.

[I know you may mind a relationship between an older woman and a younger man, but we can give it a try first. How can we know if it’s suitable without trying? ]

Chen Ye woke up from his doze. He took Duan Xu's phone and walked out of the bedroom. At the kitchen door, Chen Ye leaned against the door frame of the sliding door.

"It will be ready soon. Are you hungry?"

In the past, Chen Ye would only come out after Duan Xu had prepared the meal and put it on the table. He came out so early today that Duan Xu thought he was hungry.

Duan Xu turned around with the beef porridge in his hand and saw Chen Ye, who was furious and looked like he was going to call him to task.

He raised his eyebrows when he saw the phone in Chen Ye's hand, "Did you peek at my phone?"

Chen Ye: "I didn't peek, it jumped out by itself."

Duan Xu walked outside with the porcelain bowl in his hand and placed it on the dining table. "Then why are you looking so angry?"

Chen Ye walked over and sat down, "I saw someone confessed to you, are you going to be in a relationship? Why don't you refuse?"

He couldn't help but wonder if Duan Xu was in a stage of hesitation in his sexual orientation and wanted to give it a try with a girl. Otherwise, based on Duan Xu's personality, he would have definitely rejected the girl when she confessed her love last night.

"If you start dating someone else, I will move out immediately and I will never talk to you again."

Duan Xu walked up to Chen Ye, put one hand on the chair where Chen Ye was sitting, and stared at Chen Ye with his dark eyes. Chen Ye looked at him without any fear.

"Why do you ignore me when I'm in love?" Duan Xu lowered his eyes, "I'm in love, but I'm still your relative."

Chen Ye got angry when he heard this, "I don't want to. Anyway, if you are dating, don't even think about living with me. Don't go home with me for the New Year. You can spend it by yourself."

After saying this, Chen Ye regretted it again. Duan Xu had not stayed with his parents since he was a child and had always lived in other people's homes. Wouldn't it be equivalent to abandoning Duan Xu again by saying this?

But Chen was indeed very angry because of Duan Xu's words. He looked at Duan Xu with wide eyes, trying to find some clues from Duan Xu's eyes. If Duan Xu was sad, he would also feel uncomfortable.

Duan Xu just pursed his lips after hearing what Chen Ye said. He reached out and touched Chen Ye's head. "I don't want to fall in love. The girl who confessed to me is my supervisor in the company. I haven't thought about how to reply her. I was going to refuse her after breakfast, but I didn't expect you to see it first."

After hearing his explanation, Chen Ye's irritability disappeared. He was always flexible and would correct his mistakes. "Then I misunderstood you. I'm sorry."

Hearing Chen Ye's apology, Duan Xu smiled. He was not angry at all that he was misunderstood, because Chen Ye's reaction gave him some hope.

No younger brother would stop his older brother from dating, unless...

Seeing that Duan Xu was still very close to him and didn't move, Chen wanted to push Duan Xu away, but Duan Xu grabbed his wrist.

Chen Ye looked at Duan Xu in confusion, his clear eyes were full of confusion, but he saw Duan Xu looking at him with a smile, "So can you tell me why you don't allow me to have a relationship?"
