ASSHKHME Chapter 13

Chapter 13: Serendipitous Encounter

It was said to be a mountain village inn, but in reality, it was a high-end resort occupying thousands of acres and costing billions to build.

Nestled against mountains and by water, the air was fresh, and the environment was quiet and beautiful.

Not only did it have its own organic vegetable plantation and a farm for free-range chickens, ducks, geese, cattle, and sheep, but it had also applied for a dedicated air route to ensure a daily supply of fresh, high-quality ingredients.

In addition to the guest rooms open to the public, there were also a dozen or so independent courtyards that required advance booking, suitable for long-term stays for the elderly to relax and rejuvenate, with dedicated butlers providing services to maximize comfort and privacy.

All kinds of entertainment facilities were readily available, including a horse racing track, a wild fishing park, natural hot springs, tea rooms, chess and card rooms, and even a shooting range with live ammunition.

Chen Zhuo learned from Xu Qingyou’s chat with his friend yesterday that this resort was contracted by Xu’s Construction Group and was the first project taken over by Xu Qingyou, who had followed the entire process almost to the end.

No wonder Xu Qingyou, who disliked socializing, accepted the invitation to come and play. He must have wanted to experience the results of his hard work.

Although architecture was cold, every link had to be done with heart and care.

Sometimes, when Chen Zhuo missed his father, he would go to the architectural area designed by his father to stay for a while.

His father was dead, gone, but these buildings would stand for decades or even hundreds of years.

Looking at those buildings, Chen Zhuo seemed to be able to travel through time and see his father drawing under the desk lamp and his mother staying up with him.

His father was already a well-known figure in the architectural industry at the time and was considering resigning from the company to start his own architectural firm. Unexpectedly, the last work assignment took his and his wife’s lives.

Chen Zhuo was often confused. Reason told him that this was just an accident that no one wanted to see, but emotionally, he always subconsciously resented the Xu family, resenting why Uncle Xu had to send his father to that mountain village.

Perhaps his personality was too bad, which made people feel that he could not be domesticated.

Chen Zhuo fell asleep to the sound of insects chirping in the quiet valley.

He dreamed again, dreaming of his parents, still young and vibrant in his memory, and also dreaming of the conversation he overheard: “Chen Zhuo is not close to us, he can’t be domesticated. The Xu family has raised him so much, which can be regarded as benevolent.”

When he woke up, the sun was high in the sky, and the quilt was hanging on the edge of the bed, about to fall, but he hooked it back with his foot and covered himself.

Chen Zhuo thought about the already blurred dream, sat up and stared blankly for a while, scratched his head, and got out of bed to wash up.

While brushing his teeth, the doorbell rang. The only people who could knock on his door here were Xu Qingyou.

Chen Zhuo, with messy hair, without any image, with his mouth full of foam, brushed his teeth while going to open the door, turned sideways to let him in, and said vaguely, “Morning, Qingyou ge.”

Xu Qingyou was dressed in casual clothes, carrying a paper bag in his hand. Seeing his appearance, his cold eyebrows and eyes were tinged with a smile: “It’s not early, change your clothes and go down to eat together. It is said that the limited supply of special roast goose tastes good for lunch here.”

“Okay, you sit and wait for me.” Chen Zhuo took the paper bag, holding the toothbrush in his mouth and went to the bathroom.

The clothes should have been specially bought and sent by Xu Qingyou. He came here temporarily yesterday, and he didn’t bring any change of clothes at all.

Chen Zhuo put the paper bag on the sink and opened it casually. The size was right, and the style was what he liked.

Chen Zhuo washed his face and looked at himself in the mirror with water droplets hanging on his eyelashes, inexplicably thinking of Xie Yu.

They were both from well-off families, so how could they raise such a big fool?

Xie Yu, this presumptuous bastard, whoever is with him must be unlucky for eight lifetimes!

Chen Zhuo patted his face and tried to drive Xie Yu out of his mind. As long as he thought of what he said yesterday, Chen Zhuo was so angry that he wanted to fly back to the dormitory immediately and fight with him!

What do you mean by even if you like men, you have to be picky? What do you mean by is it only you in the room?

Xie Yu has too much malice and deep distortion towards the homosexual community!

Besides, does he give people the impression that he can’t live without a man? Does he have the words promiscuous written on his face?

Even if he is thirsty, it is impossible for him to find Xu Qingyou!

The Xu family raised him for ten years, how could he get together with their only child? Wouldn’t that be an animalistic behavior?

Too insulting!

Namo Amitabha, Amen Amen, good, good.

Alas, people can’t be as knowledgeable as wild boars.

Chen Zhuo closed his eyes, took a deep breath, slowly exhaled, and opened his eyes again, dipped a little water on his hands and combed his messy hair.

He changed his clothes calmly and walked out of the bathroom.

Xu Qingyou was standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, and the bright sunshine extended his shadow to the white wall, “Are you ready?”

Chen Zhuo smiled embarrassedly: “Okay, let’s go, let’s go to eat, I’m really hungry.”

Chen Zhuo followed Xu Qingyou down the elevator and arrived at the hall. Just as he was about to walk to the restaurant, the corner of his eye swept inadvertently, and his footsteps stopped.

As if not daring to believe his eyes, Chen Zhuo looked at the man who was being led to the front desk by the butler and said incredulously: “Xie, Xie Yu??”

The air in the mountains was cool, and Xie Yu wore a summer shirt outside, light-colored jeans and sneakers, quite a publicity and unrestrained young man.

Xie Yu turned the car key on his fingertip and walked leisurely. After hearing the familiar voice, he was also stunned.

Turning his head, he cursed silently in shock, “Damn…”

He didn’t sleep well last night, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that he was mentally abnormal. He got up in the middle of the night and booked the canceled room back.

Thinking of getting close to nature and getting rid of the dirty things on his body.

I never expected…

Xie Yu looked at the new clothes on Chen Zhuo, which looked like they had just been bought, and then looked at Xu Qingyou behind him, and said with a grin: “General Manager Xu, what a coincidence.”

Xu Qingyou nodded slightly politely as a greeting, “It’s quite a coincidence. Young Master Xie is out for fun?”

Xie Yu “hmm” and said, with a strange hostility towards Xu Qingyou, “This is an industry invested by our family. If I remember correctly, the Xu family was the contractor at the beginning.”

Xu Qingyou raised his eyebrows slightly and said in a low voice, “Too much work at hand, forgot.”

Xie Yu was too lazy to deal with this kind of shrewd person, and looked at Chen Zhuo with a complicated expression, for fear that he would say something narcissistic again, and said hurriedly: “Don’t think too much about it! It’s just a chance encounter! A chance encounter!”

Chen Zhuo: “Hehe, unlucky.”

Xie Yu choked: “…You!”

Xu Qingyou put his arm around Chen Zhuo’s shoulder and brought him closer to him: “Okay, Xiao Zhuo, let’s not disturb Young Master Xie, let’s go to eat.”

Xie Yu’s eyes swept over Xu Qingyou’s naturally placed hand on Chen Zhuo’s shoulder, and then looked at Chen Zhuo’s unresistant attitude, and frantically complained in his heart that Chen Zhuo had a problem with his character.

He is obviously a homosexual, and he is still flirting with people. What a system.

In public, Chen Zhuo didn’t want to embarrass everyone, so he ignored Xie Yu and walked to the restaurant.

It happened that the owner of the resort came over after finishing his work, and waved his hand with a smile after seeing them: “General Manager Xu, haven’t you eaten yet? Together?”

When he got closer, he saw Xie Yu next to him, feeling a little familiar.
