TRMLCM Chapter 22
by VolareHe Zhou pointed at himself, asking in disbelief, “Like… likes… me?”
This question fried He Zhou’s CPU, making him stutter.
Wait, wasn’t Yi-ge talking about his own affairs?
Why did it feel like they were on different channels?
Seeing He Zhou’s shocked expression, Cheng Yi nodded calmly.
He Zhou was even more stunned, scratching his head as he asked, puzzled, “Who are you talking about, Yi-ge?”
Cheng Yi lowered his eyes and said calmly, “A friend of mine.”
“A friend of yours, who likes guys, and likes you?”
He Zhou finally understood, so his Yi-ge really meant ‘I have a friend’.
A guy? Likes Yi-ge?
He Zhou couldn’t suppress his curiosity and secretly scrutinized Cheng Yi’s expression, his astonishment growing.
Why did it feel like his Yi-ge wasn’t disgusted?
He Zhou was internally conflicted. He walked over to Cheng Yi, sat down next to him, patted Cheng Yi’s shoulder, and said with a serious expression, “Bro, I know you value brotherhood, but… we can’t be a scumbag, right?”
“Two-timing is wrong. We should clearly reject those we need to reject. If you’re embarrassed to tell that person, then tell me who he is, and I’ll reject him for you.”
Being a brother to this extent was unmatched. He Zhou straightened his back proudly, almost moved to tears by his own selflessness.
Cheng Yi frowned and slapped his hand away, asking speechlessly and confused, “When did I two-time? I haven’t even been in a relationship!”
“Huh? Weren’t you dating that male streamer, Mu An?” He Zhou was also shocked. “So, those late-night video calls weren’t dating?”
Watching Cheng Yi’s deep eyes fixed on him without blinking, He Zhou thought ‘oh crap’ in his heart. He messed up.
He quickly explained, “I saw you spending money on that male streamer all the time, and last time you even ran to the group to ask us for help. Last night, you got drunk because of him. I… I just assumed you liked that male streamer, and also…”
He Zhou complained with resentful eyes, “Bro, why did you stay up all night drunk, video chatting with him instead of sleeping?”
He had seen it; after Shen Chang’an hung up, the message interface showed that Cheng Yi had initiated the video call.
Cheng Yi looked at him without saying a word.
The look made He Zhou’s hair stand on end. He mumbled quieter and quieter, finally not daring to speak. He just wanted to run away.
Cheng Yi looked at him for a long time, his deep eyes full of thought, as if pondering something.
Suddenly, he quietly asked, “You think I like him?”
He Zhou’s back was already bent, now shrinking into the corner of the sofa. Hearing this, he hesitated and said cautiously, “I thought he was tricking you into donating to his livestreams, and when I received his message tonight, I thought you two had gotten together…”
“Then do you think he likes me?” Cheng Yi asked.
Actually, he had woken up before He Zhou came.
… When Shen Chang’an called his name softly, again and again.
That gentle voice had awakened him from his half-dreaming state. But looking at that person’s soft eyebrows and smiling eyes, he instinctively held his breath, afraid to move, fearing he would startle him.
Even if Cheng Yi were a little slow, he knew that friends and brothers wouldn’t make video calls late at night, gently calling the other person’s name while they were asleep, right?
He belatedly realized that Shen Chang’an liked him.
He… likes me…
But Cheng Yi didn’t dare to respond. His mind was blank, and he almost froze. Then, he moved his body unconsciously, accidentally touching his leg and making a noise.
The person in the video was indeed startled by his movement. Hiding in the darkness, he clearly saw Shen Chang’an’s flustered appearance. When those clear, cold eyes looked over in panic, his heart trembled.
So, he pretended to turn over casually. The other person didn’t notice his pretense, but he quieted down, no longer speaking, just glancing at the dark phone from time to time.
Cheng Yi didn’t know that he had called He Zhou over. He had originally intended to hang up after Shen Chang’an fell asleep, but Shen Chang’an’s sleepy, dozing appearance was so well-behaved and cute.
He was greedy and couldn’t bear to end the video call.
He saw Shen Chang’an sitting up in bed, not lying down, yawning and looking at his side from time to time, as if waiting for something.
Therefore, he was even more reluctant to hang up.
It wasn’t until He Zhou arrived that he realized the other party had contacted his friend from somewhere.
At that moment, he was truly touched.
…
“Then do you think he likes me?” Cheng Yi asked, looking at He Zhou.
Although he was asking the other person, his calm gaze seemed to have already confirmed the answer, but he still couldn’t believe it.
He Zhou scratched his head, looking conflicted.
How would he know if the other person liked Yi-ge?
He hesitated, “… Probably likes you, right.”
Cheng Yi nodded contentedly and asked, “Then do you think I like him?”
Did Yi-ge see him as an emotional guru?
He Zhou was internally conflicted. Just as he was about to speak, Cheng Yi interrupted him.
Cheng Yi leaned back on the sofa, casually waving his hand, and said, “It’s okay, you don’t have to say it.”
He already knew the answer.
Cheng Yi’s constantly raised heart relaxed, and he candidly faced the strange feeling deep inside.
Perhaps, long ago…
From the first time he saw Shen Chang’an sitting under the spotlight, quietly holding his guitar and singing gently, he had been captivated and quietly fallen.
“Aren’t you known for being able to win anyone over?”
Having figured out his feelings, Cheng Yi was in a good mood. The coldness around him disappeared with his slightly raised eyebrows, and he turned back into the high and mighty young master of the Cheng family.
Seeing him no longer exuding a repressed aura and returning to his usual self, He Zhou secretly muttered, ‘Sure enough, love makes people lose their minds.’
He sat up straight, his eyes full of pride, and said seriously, “Ahem, Yi-ge, let me make it clear first. I’m usually chasing girlfriends, so you can only borrow from my experience. The specific situation needs to be analyzed specifically.”
Cheng Yi listened seriously, this statement indeed made sense. He nodded in agreement, signaling He Zhou to continue.
Thus, Master He’s little lesson on love began!
He Zhou straightened his clothes, took a sip of warm water, and cleared his throat.
“Well… chasing someone is all about sending flowers and gifts. You need to make them feel your romance and your feelings for them. Then, you need to help them solve the difficulties they encounter in life, so they know you’re a reliable person…”
