ASSHKHME Chapter 14

Chapter 14: Teasing

“Oh my, isn’t this the young master Xie from Huasheng Investment Group? From afar, you look just like a model in a magazine. Are you here on behalf of Chairman Xie to inspect the work?”

“General Manager Yang is flattering me.” Xie Yu had met him at a business banquet with his father. He composed himself, shook hands, and said, “It’s just a holiday. I was bored, so I came to have some fun.”

“Then I must properly entertain my investor.” General Manager Yang stretched out his arm and enthusiastically introduced, “Young Master Xie, this is General Manager Xu Qingyou of Taifeng Construction Group. You’ll inevitably be dealing with each other in the future…”

Xu Qingyou calmly said, “General Manager Yang, I and Young Master Xie are acquainted.”

“Isn’t this a coincidence? Well, well, you’re all friends. Young Master Xie hasn’t eaten yet, right? Shall we go grab something to eat together?”

General Manager Yang was all smiles. Out of the corner of his eye, he noticed Chen Zhuo standing silently to the side and remembered something. “Oh, right, Chen Zhuo, I remember you saying yesterday that you’re from Jiangbei University? Isn’t that the same school as Young Master Xie?”

Chen Zhuo glanced at Xie Yu without any expression and nodded, giving General Manager Yang some face.

Xie Yu suddenly walked towards Chen Zhuo, put his arm around his shoulders, and said with a half-smile, “Not only are we schoolmates, but we’re also roommates, right, Little Zhuo’er.”

General Manager Yang was surprised and happily said, “What a coincidence? You’re roommates?”

Xie Yu cupped Chen Zhuo’s shoulder in his palm and squeezed it. He lowered his head and whispered as if telling a secret, “It’s not just a coincidence. We even sleep in opposite bunks.”

Xu Qingyou’s expression changed slightly.

Chen Zhuo was suddenly pulled into Xie Yu’s arms with great force and didn’t react for a moment. He glared at him with disdain.

Meeting Xie Yu’s carefree and bright smile, he immediately understood that this bastard was clearly taking advantage of the fact that he couldn’t make a scene in public and deliberately wanted to see him squirm and bully him.

So, he retracted the action of trying to break free. A smile appeared on his handsome face, the corners of his eyes curved into a soft arc, and he took the opportunity to wrap his arms around Xie Yu’s strong waist, intimately saying, “It’s fate, isn’t it? Little Yu.”

Xie Yu clearly felt Chen Zhuo’s hand caressing his side waist with a very small amplitude, carrying an imperceptible ambiguous meaning, and his muscles instantly tensed.

Chen Zhuo smiled and looked at General Manager Yang and Xu Qingyou, cheerfully saying, “Is it still the same private room as yesterday? I’ll take Little Yu over first.”

General Manager Yang responded, “Yes, yes, yes, go ahead. Young people should make more friends. Having more friends means more paths, right? What do you think, General Manager Xu?”

Xu Qingyou frowned, watched the young men walking away with their arms around each other’s shoulders, gave General Manager Yang a cool look, didn’t say anything, and followed.

That look was so sharp that General Manager Yang inexplicably shivered, wondering if he was seeing things. Wasn’t the atmosphere pretty good?

Chen Zhuo and Xie Yu arrived at the private room first.

Xie Yu broke free from Chen Zhuo’s arm. His side waist still seemed to retain the residual warmth of Chen Zhuo’s palm. Looking like a good woman who had been harassed, he angrily said, “What are you touching randomly!”

Chen Zhuo smiled at him with his hands in his pockets, his eyes filled with slyness and malice.

Xie Yu was stared at by him and subconsciously swallowed. He moved his lips, but before he could say anything, Chen Zhuo pinned him against the wall, leaving him a little dazed.

He, a man of nearly 1.9 meters, was pinned against the wall by another man?

Chen Zhuo propped his palms on either side of Xie Yu’s ears, leaned close, his warm breath brushing against his neck, and said in a breathy voice, “Xie Yu, to be honest, I really like guys like you.”

The distance was already far beyond the normal social distance between men, so close that he could count each other’s eyelashes.

Xie Yu suddenly widened his eyes and stared at Chen Zhuo in disbelief. His Adam’s apple bobbed up and down. His first reaction was not to throw a punch but to defend himself.

“What… what nonsense are you talking about? I’m straight.”

Chen Zhuo, who originally wanted to provoke Xie Yu into fighting him so that he could turn the tables and make him look bad, was stunned for a moment, but quickly adjusted his emotions. A mischievous light flashed in his eyes.

His fingertip lightly slid down Xie Yu’s chest, feeling the muscles tighten under his touch. His obsidian eyes rippled with amorous feelings. “Straights taste the best.”

Xie Yu’s pupils trembled for a moment. As Chen Zhuo was about to slide to his lower abdomen, he grabbed Chen Zhuo’s wrist.

At the same time, the private room door reopened, and Xu Qingyou walked in, his gaze fixed on Xie Yu grabbing Chen Zhuo’s wrist. “What is Young Master Xie doing?”

Xie Yu seemed to be burned and let go of Chen Zhuo’s hand. His eyes darted around, as if he had been caught in an illicit affair, and he stammered, “We…”

Chen Zhuo, however, naturally pulled out a dining chair next to him and sat down, saying in a relaxed tone, “It’s nothing. Good buddies are just catching up.”

After speaking, he rested his chin on his hand and winked at Xie Yu, the corners of his mouth curving into a mischievous arc. He said with a smile, “Right? Little Yu~”

Xie Yu immediately realized that Chen Zhuo was teasing him. His face turned green and then white. He let out a cold snort, heavily pulled out a chair, and sat down.

Xie Yu’s mood was bad, so Chen Zhuo was happy.

Xu Qingyou glanced at Xie Yu indifferently and didn’t say anything else.

Since they were all distinguished guests, General Manager Yang personally went to the kitchen to make arrangements. When he came to the private room with the wine, he noticed that the atmosphere was a bit strangely weird.

The dining table was a large round table. Chen Zhuo and Xie Yu were clearly sitting next to each other, but the distance between them could accommodate two more people.

They were leaning back in their chairs, playing with their phones, not talking, and not paying attention to anyone.

General Manager Yang silently complained in his heart, “Are kids changing faces this fast now? Weren’t they all buddy-buddy just now? Why do they look like they’re never going to see each other again now?”

Xu Qingyou, who had finished a work call in front of the French windows, turned around and nodded. “General Manager Yang.”

General Manager Yang plastered a smile on his face and placed the red wine he was carrying on the table. “Hey! General Manager Xu, I have two bottles of good wine stored here. Chen Zhuo and Young Master Xie are also here. Shall we have a simple drink?”

Xu Qingyou put away his phone and politely declined, “There’s a problem with the progress of a project. I have to go to the site to take a look later, so I won’t drink any wine.”

General Manager Yang was quite regretful. “You’re leaving already? General Manager Xu is really a busy man, young, promising, and has a strong drive.”

Chen Zhuo looked at Xu Qingyou and asked with concern, “Qingyou Ge, is the problem serious?”

The waiter expertly pulled out Chen Zhuo’s other dining chair. Xu Qingyou sat down and said gently, “It’s not a big problem. Shall we go back together this afternoon?”

Chen Zhuo was about to nod when he heard General Manager Yang enthusiastically say, “Oh, Xu General, you go back. Let your brother stay here and play for a few more days. This afternoon, I’ll take Chen Zhuo and Young Master Xie for a spin. Young people like that. I’ll personally entertain them.”

Xu Qingyou opened his mouth, but General Manager Yang didn’t give him a chance to speak, getting close and intimately saying, “Don’t worry, Xu General’s brother is like my own brother! I’ll make sure he eats well, plays well, and I’ll personally send him back to school.”

Xie Yu, who had been sullen and silent, suddenly perked up, moved his chair, and put his arm on the back of Chen Zhuo’s chair.

Chen Zhuo looked at him sideways. “Hmm?”
