    Chapter 145: He’s Only 19 Years Old

    Gu Yuanci heard that Pei Yanlie was going to Zhou Jin’s for dinner tonight, so he hurriedly closed the shop, got in the car, and rushed to Zhou Jin’s house.

    Just as he entered the villa gate, he heard a “smash” sound.

    He frowned slightly and quickly walked into the kitchen, seeing Zhou Jin wearing a blue apron, squatting on the ground picking up broken pieces of a bowl. His pupils shrank and he immediately pulled him up.

    “Didn’t I tell you to wait obediently for me to come over before you did this?” Gu Yuanci took the broken bowl from his hand and lightly scolded him.

    Zhou Jin was shrewd and capable in the business world, but as soon as he entered the kitchen, he became clumsy. This was already the thirtieth bowl he had broken.

    Gu Yuanci was really afraid that he would get hurt in the kitchen. This was the man he had carefully cared for and fed for five years. Besides himself, no one else could hurt him.

    “I promised Zhou Zhou I would make him a feast.” Zhou Jin looked somewhat frustrated, lowered his eyes to look at his hands, and said in a low voice, “Useless hands.”

    Gu Yuanci threw the broken bowl into the trash can, then took his hand, brought it to his lips, and carefully kissed the back of his hand, whispering in a hoarse voice, “These hands can do many things, don’t belittle yourself.”

    With gentle peach blossom eyes filled with deep affection, Gu Yuanci stared deeply at his face, raised his hand to take off his glasses, held the back of his head with one hand, leaned over, and blocked his lips, probing with his tongue to entangle with him.

    Zhou Jin wrapped his arms around his waist, his phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, gradually falling into the other’s offensive.

    After the two had been affectionate enough, Gu Yuanci took off Zhou Jin’s apron and smiled, “Don’t force yourself to do things you’re not good at. From now on, your kitchen is mine.”

    Zhou Jin raised his hand to adjust his glasses, the beauty mark below the corner of his eye was enticingly red because of the licking around it.

    Gu Yuanci’s eyes deepened, his Adam’s apple bobbed slightly, and he said in a hoarse voice, “Go sit on the sofa, don’t stay here in the kitchen, I’m afraid I won’t be able to help myself…”

    Zhou Jin raised an eyebrow, the corner of his mouth slightly hooked, he didn’t listen to him, and picked up the vegetables and went to the sink to wash them.

    He joked, “You’ve been a little fiery lately.”

    Gu Yuanci chopped the vegetables with extremely fast speed, and said slowly, “Who is always wandering around in front of me, enjoying teasing me so much?”

    Zhou Jin turned on the faucet, his eyes full of smiles, his thin lips slightly parted, “Not teasing you, but exercising your self-control.”

    Gu Yuanci stopped the movement in his hands, deeply gazing at him, his tone revealing a hint of grievance, “Brother Jin, I’ve endured for five years, isn’t my self-control good enough?”

    He was good-looking, even frowning was pitiful. Zhou Jin leaned over and kissed him on the face, praising, “You make a good point, you’re very good at enduring. If I hadn’t discovered something a few months ago, how long were you planning to endure?”

    If a third party hadn’t tried to intervene, they wouldn’t have broken through this window paper so quickly.

    “Is Pei Yanlie really coming?” Gu Yuanci asked.

    “Zhou Zhou said so, he shouldn’t be lying to me, right?” Zhou Jin finished washing the greens and was about to take a knife to peel the ginger when Gu Yuanci stopped him.

    Gu Yuanci said helplessly, “I don’t want to see you get hurt and bleed, don’t touch the knife.”

    “Do you think I’m disabled?” Zhou Jin picked up the garlic and started peeling it, chuckling.

    Gu Yuanci blurted out, “I think you’re a treasure.”

    Zhou Jin pursed his lips, said nothing, his ears flushed red, he only felt a warm current surge into his heart, his whole body feeling warm and cozy.

    Gu Yuanci was considerate to him in every way. Recalling the various things of the past five years, Zhou Jin sighed lightly and muttered to himself, “The self-control was really good, but once you’ve tasted the meat, it’s no good anymore.”

    “Brother, I’m back.” Zhou Zhou’s clear voice came from the villa entrance, interrupting Zhou Jin’s thoughts.

    He patted Gu Yuanci’s shoulder, Gu Yuanci “hmm”-ed, and raised his chin, “Go ahead, I’ll take care of it.”

    Zhou Jin walked out of the kitchen and immediately saw Pei Yanlie followed by several bodyguards, the bodyguards holding large and small bags of gifts.

    His mouth twitched slightly, thinking: How does this feel like my younger brother is bringing his husband back to his parents’ home.

    “President Pei is too kind, there’s no need to buy so many things just for a meal.” Zhou Jin laughed drily.

    Pei Yanlie signaled the bodyguards to put down the gifts, stepped forward, walked to Zhou Jin, shook his hand, and exchanged pleasantries, “It’s the first time I’m visiting, it’s only right.”

    Zhou Jin “haha” laughed twice, quickly glanced at Zhou Zhou, and continued politely, “President Pei is joking, we are old classmates, there’s no need to be so polite with me.”

    Pei Yanlie looked deeply at Zhou Zhou, and said seriously, “Now, it’s not just that we are old classmates, Zhou Zhou and I are heading towards marriage.”

    Zhou Zhou’s face changed in a second, his face was so red it was unbelievable, but because his older brother was present, he endured and didn’t retort.

    Zhou Jin: …

    Marriage?

    His face tightened, his eyelids twitched wildly, and he cursed in his heart: Shameless, how long have you known each other, and you’re already thinking about tricking my younger brother away! How old is my younger brother? He’s only 19 years old!

    Zhou Jin laughed dryly to change the subject, “Come, come, come, President Pei, sit over here, don’t be polite, just treat it as your own home.”

    Pei Yanlie nodded in agreement, and in front of Zhou Jin, he took Zhou Zhou’s hand and walked to the sofa, not treating himself as an outsider at all.

    Zhou Jin clenched his fist and looked at his younger brother with disappointment, seeing his obedient appearance, he had gotten on the thief’s ship so quickly!

    Zhou Zhou secretly pinched Pei Yanlie’s hand, and squeezed out a sentence in a low voice, “Can’t you let go?”

    Pei Yanlie tightened his fingers and pulled him to sit down on the sofa, “Your brother told me not to be polite.”

    Zhou Zhou pulled his hand back, “He was just saying it politely, and you took it seriously?”

    “Your family is my family, I naturally have to listen to what he says.” Pei Yanlie crossed his legs, raised an eyebrow, and laughed softly.

    [You’re really something, if he told you to get lost, would you get lost?]

    [Of everyone here, you have the thickest skin.]

    Pei Yanlie pinched Zhou Zhou’s waist where Zhou Jin couldn’t see, and said in a low voice, “If he tells me to get lost, you’ll come with me, I’ll take you home.”

    Zhou Zhou pursed his lips tightly, endured the tingling sensation coming from his waist, and immediately stood up, “Brother, I think you really want to catch up with President Pei, you two chat, I’ll go help in the kitchen.”

    He strode towards the kitchen, winking as he passed by Zhou Jin, and said in a low voice, “Go ahead, holding it in is bad for your health.”

    Zhou Jin gritted his teeth, wanting to pull him back, but was a step too late.

    “Zhou Zhou’s personality is just so lively, President Pei, please don’t mind.” Zhou Jin reluctantly walked to the opposite side of Pei Yanlie and sat down.

    “Very cute, I don’t mind.” Pei Yanlie looked in the direction of the kitchen, the deep affection and doting in his eyes didn’t seem fake.

    Zhou Jin skillfully brewed tea and poured him a cup, “Zhou Zhou is still young.”

    Pei Yanlie thanked him, picked up the teacup, took a sip, and said in a soft voice, “He’s an adult.”

    Zhou Jin’s face tightened, his tone carrying a hint of displeasure, “He’s still in school.”

    Pei Yanlie hooked his lips, “Dating and studying can coexist.”

    “President Pei is knowledgeable and well-informed, Zhou Zhou doesn’t understand anything.” The implication was, you old fox, don’t deceive my family’s innocent little white rabbit.

    “I think, older brother, you don’t quite understand Zhou Zhou.” Pei Yanlie hit the nail on the head.

    Don’t call me older brother, you’re two months older than me!

    Zhou Zhou poked his head out from the kitchen door, and muttered to himself, “The two presidents shouldn’t start fighting, right?”

    Gu Yuanci shook his head amusingly, “You and President Pei, are you really together?”

    Zhou Zhou straightened up, leaning his back against the door frame, lowered his head slightly, his thick long eyelashes concealing the emotions in his eyes, his toes unconsciously rubbing the floor, and said in a low voice, “Are you asking the obvious?”

    Seeing his ears were completely red, Gu Yuanci understood in his heart, it seemed he had really fallen in love.
