Bow to tempt the peach

The restaurant we booked for dinner was a local specialty restaurant in Shanghai. When the waiter guided us towards the private room, we happened to bump into Zhou Yao and Liang Yansheng who had come together.

Xu Youtao glanced at the sunglasses on Liang Yansheng's face suspiciously. Liang Yansheng turned her head to one side uncomfortably, while Zhou Yao, who was walking beside her, kept suppressing laughter.

After entering the private room, Xu Youtao and Lu Chenyan finished ordering together. Seeing that Liang Yansheng still hadn't taken off his sunglasses, he finally couldn't help but said, "You want to eat wearing sunglasses?"

Liang Yansheng stiffened when he drank water. He felt everyone was looking at him, so he reluctantly took off his sunglasses.

Under the bright light, the dark blue under the frame of his right eye was particularly conspicuous.

Xu Youtao: "?"

Zhou Yao held back her laughter until her body was trembling slightly.

Even Lu Chenyan, who looked indifferent, had a hint of unexpected emotion on his face.

As for the young couple Fu Ling and Du Yan, they couldn't stop watching curiously.

The corner of Xu Youtao's mouth twitched, "You were finally beaten because of your bad mouth?"

Liang Yansheng held his head with one hand, weakly covering his injured right eye frame, and held on, "There was a power outage at home last night, and I accidentally fell it."

Xu Youtao: "..."

Afraid that she would ask more questions, Liang Yansheng quickly picked up the tea cup and gestured to Lu Chenyan, changing the subject, "Well, although we have already met, let me introduce him formally."

"I am Xiao Tao's childhood friend, and I am also half of her brother. If you bully Xiao Tao in the future, I will not let you go."

Not mentioning the height difference, Lu Chenyan's muscular physique was almost half as tall as his, which was really not a deterrent.

But Lu Chenyan nodded to show respect, picked up the tea cup and said in return, "That day will never come."

With Liang Yansheng taking the lead, Fu Ling and Du Yan also introduced themselves in detail, immediately changing the topic of Liang Yansheng's injury to the right eye frame.

The atmosphere in the box gradually became lively.

While Liang Yansheng caught Lu Shenyan chatting without anything to say, Zhou Yao secretly sent a WeChat message to Xu Youtao.

Zhou Yao: [Hahahahahahahaha, I’m laughing so hard. Do you know how Liang Yansheng got injured? 】

Xu Youtao glanced at Liang Yansheng, who was chatting happily, and sent a question mark.

Zhou Yao: [He has always suspected that his female neighbor was the female liar who defrauded him of money through online dating. He followed and investigated her every day, and then this morning she was blocked in the elevator and beaten. 】

Xu Youtao: [……]

outrageous.

She glanced at Liang Yansheng without saying anything, and was immediately noticed by Liang Yansheng. The tacit understanding she had grown up with over the years immediately made him guess that she knew the truth about her injury, and turned to glare at Zhou Yao.

Zhou Yao smiled with white teeth.

The dinner ended in a pleasant atmosphere with Zhou Yao and Liang Yan exchanging eye blows.

Fu Ling and Du Yan left first, determined not to use Lu Chenyan's car as a light bulb.

On the way here, although Xu Youtao and Lu Chenyan didn't say a few words the whole time, there was an atmosphere between them that made it difficult for outsiders to get in.

And the oppressive look Lu Chenyan inadvertently cast through the rearview mirror made Fu Ling, a CP fan, a little overwhelmed.

As soon as they left, Liang Yansheng and Zhou Yao also rejected Lu Chenyan's offer to send them home.

Liang Yansheng put on his sunglasses again and pretended to be cold, "I take the subway, it's very convenient."

Zhou Yao winked at Xu Youtao and said in a voice that only two people could hear: "Hey, tomorrow is the weekend, take it easy at night."

Xu Youtao understood the hint in her words and glared at her.

Zhou Yao and Liang Yansheng also left noisily.

Under the bright yellow street lights, Lu Chenyan put his arms around Xu Youtao's waist and smiled softly.

Xu Youtao: "Why are you laughing?"

Lu Chenyan: "These friends of yours seem quite pleasing to the eye."

He added: "I'll send you home to get your clothes first, and then go back to the villa."

He was thinking about business.Xu Youtao: "...Okay."

Lu Chenyan was in a great mood and drove faster than usual.

So much so that when we returned to Xu Youtao's rented apartment, it was not yet nine o'clock in the evening.

This time, he finally followed her upstairs openly.

The crude incandescent lamp in the living room casts a bright white light, dispersing the darkness.

Xu Youtao changed her shoes and went into the room to pack her clothes.

Lu Chenyan looked around the living room, looking relieved as if he had returned to his own home.

He followed the bedroom unhurriedly and leaned against the door, "Bring a few more sets of clothes and leave some in the villa."

If he hadn't been afraid of exposing his identity, he would have filled up the wardrobe in the second bedroom of the villa for her.

Xu Youtao figured out her feelings for him and didn't hesitate, "Okay."

Seeing her agree, Lu Chenyan narrowed his beautiful peach blossom eyes slightly, and the upward curve at the end of his eyes revealed his joyful mood.

The bedroom was small and cozy. It was a private space that belonged entirely to Xu Youtao. Lu Chenyan came in for the first time and settled business matters. His attention was diverted and finally landed on the 1.5-meter double bed in the center of the room.

The bed was covered with a pink four-piece suit, and two Q-version cat dolls were placed at the head of the bed.

Lu Chenyan looked at the two dolls and felt jealous for no reason.

He walked over, picked up a doll, and smelled a faint scent of roses, which was her scent.

"Bring this doll to the villa."

Xu Youtao glanced back, looking hesitant to speak.

Lu Chenyan: "Huh?"

Xu Youtao: "Do you like dolls?"

"We can find a video arcade tomorrow and I'll pick up a few more for you."

"This is an old one you have."

As she said this, she wanted to get her doll back.

These two dolls were the first time she went to the video game mall with Zhou Yao during the summer vacation of her freshman year of high school. She took them with her wherever she went after high school, college, and now after working.

Lu Chenyan raised his arm to avoid her outstretched hand, and at the same time easily grabbed her wrist and pressed her against the wardrobe.

He lowered his eyes and looked at her, "I just want this one."

Xu Youtao pouted slightly, her plump and bright red lips seeming to be exuding a silent invitation.

Lu Chenyan's eyes darkened, "Can't bear to part with you?"

Xu Youtao: "...If you give it up, it's just a doll. If you want it, just give it to me."

The anger in Lu Chenyan's eyes quietly dissipated, and he lowered his head and pecked her lips lightly.

The next moment, he felt it was not enough, and the brief taste turned into a deep kiss.

Xu Youtao was so kissed that she no longer wanted to think about the doll, so she could only cling to his shoulders feebly.

After the kiss ended, Lu Chenyan suppressed the surge of emotion in his body and just wanted to return to the villa as soon as possible.

He grabbed the doll that was thrown back on the bed during the kiss and walked out of the room, "I'll wait for you outside."

The hot air seemed to have left with him, and the airflow in the room became calm again.

Xu Youtao patted her red cheeks and stuffed the lace suspender nightgown that Zhou Yao gave her for her birthday this year into the bottom of her satchel.

I'm a little busy today, so it's just one chapter. I'll start making up for the missed chapters today.

Friends, see you tomorrow~
