Chapter 38: CH 38

Li Can didn’t notice that when he said this, his heart was unspeakably happy and all the depression that was lingering in his chest before was swept away.

Tang Er Yuan frowned slightly and pushed his hand away, his eyes rounded, “I told you, don’t call me Yuan Yuan.”

Li Can laughed lightly, his voice sounding a little gentle in the empty room, “Isn’t Er Yuan just two Yuans? I really like this name, Yuan Yuan……”

Tang Er Yuan hummed lightly, “Then wouldn’t Xiao Qi be called Yuan Yuan Yuan Yuan Yuan Yuan Yuan.”

Li Can couldn’t hold back his laughter and reached out to touch Tang Er Yuan’s face: “Yuan Yuan, you’re so cute.”

Tang Er Yuan was too lazy to correct him, but every time Li Can called him that, his ears would get hot and his face would burn, and he would feel strange.

He unnaturally touched his burning cheek, “What about you? Li Xin Ran is right outside, why don’t you hurry up and go out to keep him company, what are you doing wasting your time here with me?”

Tang Er Yuan couldn’t help but show a bit of resentment as he said that, he regretted it as soon as he finished speaking, and couldn’t help but snort in his heart, making it seem like he cared so much.

He didn’t wait for Li Can to answer and hurriedly urged: “Go out.”

He pushed Li Can away from him and walked out without looking back while Li Can smiled and followed him unhurriedly.

The two of them, one in front of the other, looked visibly happier and were in a much better mood.

As soon as they walked around the corner, they saw Li Xin Ran in the long corridor in front of them, hugging Zhou Ze from behind, entangled in an inseparable way.

Tang Er Yuan was busy backing away and Li Can stretched his head out to take a look, stopping in step with Tang Er Yuan.

“Did you let go so quickly?” Li Xin Ran’s voice was a little choked with hidden pain and deep emotion.

Zhou Ze let out a low sigh, “Xin Ran, before we came back we had made it very clear that after we returned home, we were to forget about each other and start a whole new life. What kind of life did we lead abroad, have you forgotten?”

Li Xin Ran did not speak, his teeth biting his lower lip as he hugged Zhou Ze’s arm tighter.

Zhou Ze’s voice seemed somewhat calm and helpless, “Just love in life is not enough, when we are abroad, a random person can look down on us, we use all our strength to earn money, but life is not as easy as we think. Starting with nothing is not easy, we are originally favoured children of god, who are those rich people to look down on us from high above? Xin Ran, do we have to go on like this without dignity?”

Li Xin Ran moved slowly to let go of Zhou Ze and seemed to calm down, he wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and his voice became a little firmer, “You’re right.”

Zhou Ze’s voice was tinged with a hint of pain, “Xin Ran, I love you, but love alone is not enough, I don’t want to live that life anymore, let’s get back on track. Here, we can have family, money and status, the only thing we can’t have is just each other. I was wrong in the past, I shouldn’t have taken you out of the country on impulse.”

“No.” Li Xin Ran shook his head, “It was our joint decision to leave in the first place, and it was also our joint decision to come back. I don’t blame you, today was a momentary loss of emotion on my part, I didn’t control it, I won’t be like this again, you can start your new life without worry, I will try to start my new life too.”

“Xin Ran, I’m sorry……”

……

When Li Can saw that Zhou Ze and Li Xin Ran had no intention of stopping for a while, he couldn’t help but pout, not interested in listening any further. It was just two elopers who were defeated by reality, the story was just too uninteresting.

He raised his eyebrows gently and looked at Tang Er Yuan and suggested: “How about……going back and kissing again for a while?”

Tang Er Yuan looked at Zhou Ze and Li Xin Ran, who were still entangled, and had no desire to look any further. Therefore, he tugged on Li Can’s tie and led him into the balcony behind the window not far away.

Li Can followed him with a smile, pushing him against the wall, his palm not forgetting to pad the back of his head, then pressing his lips directly onto his lips.

……

The two of them hid in the dark shadows of the corner and had a secretive and intense kiss.

When the two came back again, Zhou Ze and Li Xin Ran had already returned to their respective seats, their faces calm, not able to see any change in their emotions at all. If Li Can and Tang Er Yuan hadn’t seen their heated conversation just now, they would have thought that nothing had happened.

Tang Er Yuan didn’t mention what he had just seen, he just smiled and sat back down.

Zhou Ze smelled the smell of Alpha on Tang Er Yuan and also smiled slightly, wisely not asking more questions.

Tang Er Yuan reacted, cursed Li Can in his heart and explained somewhat awkwardly: “I just met Li Can in the bathroom.”

“En……” Zhou Ze nodded with a smile, not meaning to ask any follow-up questions.

Seeing Zhou Ze’s full of care, Tang Er Yuan felt a little bored, he would have liked Zhou Ze to pursue the matter a little more.

Zhou Ze was silent for a while and suddenly asked, “Er Yuan, do you still like me?”

He asked so directly that Tang Er Yuan froze instead, he hesitated for a second and then nodded.

Still like Zhou Ze? Naturally he did, the red rose was something he had held on to for many years, just like Zhou Ze as a person. Even though the former glow had faded from Zhou Ze, he should still like him. Otherwise he wouldn’t have come to greet him at the first opportunity after Zhou Ze returned to China.

Just for some unknown reason, the moment he nodded his head, he unconsciously glanced in Li Can’s direction.

It seemed that Li Can and Li Xin Ran had finished their meal, or perhaps Li Xin Ran did not have the appetite to eat any more, and after just a few words, they got up and wanted to leave. Li Can even got up as a gentleman to help Li Xin Ran move his chair.

If they were to leave, they would definitely pass by Tang Er Yuan and Zhou Ze’s table. Tang Er Yuan unconsciously straightened his back and straightened the tips of his slightly messy hair.

Li Can and Li Xin Ran did indeed walk towards the doorway.

As they walked past Tang Er Yuan’s table, Zhou Ze happened to speak: “Then are you willing to marry me?”

Li Can’s body abruptly paused and Li Xin Ran’s face went white but neither of them turned back, and only after a moment did the two lift their legs and continue walking forward.

Tang Er Yuan’s attention fell on Li Can and Li Xin Ran, and only after they had walked away did he react to what Zhou Ze had said, and couldn’t help but stare at Zhou Ze with wide eyes and shock, “You said you want to marry me?”

Did he hear correctly? Instead of politely rejecting him or proposing to go out with him, Zhou Ze wanted to marry him straight away?

Zhou Ze had a gentle smile on his face and wasn’t the least bit impatient, he just patiently repeated, “Er Yuan, I want to get married to you.”

“Would it……be too sudden?”

Tang Er Yuan’s long-awaited day had finally come but he didn’t have a racing heart like he imagined, nor did he scream in excitement. Instead, he calmly inquired.

Zhou Ze smiled, “I was the one who was confused before, but now I understand that you are the one who is truly suitable for me.”

It was suitable, not like, indicating that he just wanted a partner of comparable status.

Being able to marry Zhou Ze was clearly something that Tang Er Yuan had always hoped for, but when this really happened, he didn’t know what to do.

He squeezed his fingers, his brows knitted together in a tangled frown, “I……”

He wanted to agree to it, but the words of consent could not be said.

Zhou Ze saw his face torn and said softly in a kind and understanding voice, “I know it’s sudden for me to say this, you don’t need to answer me now, just answer me when you’ve thought about it.”

Tang Er Yuan bit his lip and nodded gently, his mind in a moment of confusion, unable to find a clue.

He had planned to ask Zhou Ze to go to a bar for a drink after dinner and cultivate the relationship in the meantime but since he had been ‘proposed to’ by Zhou Ze, he couldn’t help but be preoccupied. His meal was tasteless, and after eating, he didn’t carry out the invitation again, but went home separately.

……

The first thing Tang Er Yuan did was to take a shower at home and lie on the bed all fresh and he couldn’t help but scratch my hair in annoyance.

How come you didn’t say yes to Zhou Ze’s proposal right away? That was the red rose of your heart, what was the hesitation? What if the opportunity was missed then it’s gone!

Just when Tang Er Yuan was endlessly regretting, his mobile phone dinged, and Tang Er Yuan opened it with his hair scratched like a bird’s nest.

‘Congratulations on getting what you want’

This sentence was followed by a naughty smiling emoticon, sender Li gun buddy.

Tang Er Yuan pouted, his fingers moving quickly in reply.

‘Thank you very much.’

Li Can’s phone call came immediately, and Tang Er Yuan slowly pressed answer.

Li Can’s voice sounded a little eager, implying an imperceptible tightness: ”You’ve agreed? No ring, no promise, even the roses were bought by you, can you be a little more competitive?”

Tang Er Yuan stifled his mouth in depression, his voice muffled: “……I haven’t agreed yet.”

Once Li Can heard this, his voice was obviously pleasant for a few minutes and his tone relaxed, “Well performed.”

Tang Er Yuan gripped the phone with chagrin, “I am regretting it, you say how I short-circuited my head was at the time. What if Zhou Ze backs out, or……I’ll give him a call now and just say I agreed?”

“There’s nothing to regret, if you say yes to him right away, he won’t know to cherish you instead, the more you can’t get it, the more precious it is.” Li Can said unimpressed.

“……Is that so?” Tang Er Yuan was a little skeptical, his heart constantly struggling.

Li Can nodded without hesitation: “That’s right, you listen to me, no one understands this matter of feelings better than I do.”

Tang Er Yuan laughed coldly at his words, “I forgot that you, Young Master Li, used to be a man of many flowers and never touched a leaf.”

Li Can used to be a real playboy, his family had money and he was handsome, so he naturally attracted butterflies. Unfortunately his family was strict and he passed the age of eighteen without hesitation, just when he wanted to start rolling on the bed happily, he met Li Xin Ran. He was chasing Li Xin Ran so much that he didn’t have time to take care of those flowers, then Li Xin Ran followed Zhou Ze abroad. He and Tang Er Yuan were entangled together for for three years, he didn’t look for anyone else during those three years.

He actually guarded a gun buddy like jade, sometimes when Li Chan thought about it himself, he thought it was a miracle.

He attributed it to the fact that Tang Er Yuan and him were so compatible that he had no taste for other people and only had inexhaustible energy when he was with Tang Er Yuan.

He has a reputation for being a flamboyant young man but he has only slept with Tang Er Yuan, no one would believe him if he said it.

He said: “That’s right, if you don’t know anything about relationships, just come and ask me.”

Tang Er Yuan grunted and couldn’t help but give him a blow: “If you’re so capable, how come you haven’t caught Li Xin Ran by now?”

Li Chan choked for a moment, “……will catch soon.”

“Heh……”

Tang Er Yuan said to himself, he was still fast, Zhou Ze had only returned to China and already proposed to him. If things went at the current rate, I’m afraid Li Can would have to come to his and Zhou Ze’s wedding banquet single if he couldn’t catch Li Xin Ran again.

With this in mind, he couldn’t help but feel a little happy and couldn’t wait to see how envious Li Can looked.

Li Can gave a low cough and changed the subject, “By the way, Xin Ran wants San Yuan to star in a movie he’s directing, what do you think?”

“Calling so intimately……” Tang Er Yuan muttered in a small voice before saying nonchalantly, “What are you asking me for if you want to cast San Yuan in a movie? You’re the one who’s his boss.”

“If you agree, I’ll talk to San Yuan tomorrow.”

Only when Tang Er Yuan wanted to speak up and urge Li Can not to force Tang San Yuan to do what he didn’t want to do for Li Xin Ran’s sake, did Li Can continue, “I know San Yuan’s character, if he doesn’t want to, I won’t force him.”

Tang Er Yuan gave a soft ‘hmm’, his voice softening slightly, but he couldn’t help but ask: “If San Yuan doesn’t agree, aren’t you afraid that your Pink Rose will be angry?”

Li Chan smiled indifferently,:”It’s okay, if Xin Ran gets angry, I’ll find a way to coax him.”

Tang Er Yuan nodded, “You can coax him, but don’t send him a pink rose, it’s too vulgar, and you’ve been giving him pink roses for so long, he’s probably already tired of seeing them.”

It was rare that Li Can did not refute him, but seriously explored, “What do you think is good for me to give him?”

Tang Er Yuan thought about it and unconsciously said all that he wanted, “A brand’s new watch, B brand’s main cufflinks this year, Planet C’s fragrant chocolates, and the cherry blossom ice cream next door to your hotel ……”

When Tang Er Yuan finished, both of them felt weird, as gun buddies, no, as former gun buddies, why did they care so much about each other’s love life?

……

After half a minute of silence, the two hung up the phone angrily at the same time without saying a word.
