Chapter 73: Continue to double standard

The fish was put into Ye Yao's bowl, who took a bite and then looked up to compliment Lu Xun on the taste and to thank him for having prepared so much for him.

But when he looked up, Ye Yao was stunned.

There were three people at the table besides him, and all three were looking straight at him, only with different expressions.

Lu Xun, watching him eat his meat, looks happy, while Lu Ming's mouth is slightly open, and although he is also a handsome man, he now looks more than a little demented.

Finally Chu Shi's lips are taut, his eyes first locked on his person and then slowly moving to look at the meat in his bowl.

Ye Yao :"......?"

What had happened, he had only eaten a bite of the fish with his head down, right? Wasn't this fish meant to be eaten like this, but with some kind of special dip before eating it?

Ye Yao felt that this reason was not quite right, and he calmly analysed it and came up with a reasonable possibility.

These two men are Lu Xun's relatives and Lu Xun's childhood friend, both of whom are very close. Lu Xun seldom gives food to people, so these two people probably wanted to see how he would respond to being given food by Lu Xun, and whether he would only accept Lu Xun's kindness unilaterally.

Ye Yao thought this was the only logical explanation, so he also reached out with his chopsticks and took a chunk of fish and put it into Lu Xun's bowl.

"Yummy, you eat it too." Ye Yao said.

Lu Ming, who was actually watching from the shadows while he was eating, watched as Lu Xun's face broke into a grin he had never seen before.

"Yes, let's eat together." Lu Xun said.

Lu Ming: "......"

He's blind.

In this situation, Chu Shi could not sit still, he immediately followed the example, also picked up a prawn, and wanted to pass it to Lu Xun bowl: "Brother Xun, you eat some of this, this looks fresh ......"

But before the food could be delivered, it was intercepted.

Lu Xun holds his hand up in the way and puts a tight guard on his bowl, determined not to let any other food enter and ruin the fish that Ye Yao has pinned for him.

Lu Xun said without any understanding, "You can eat by yourself, don't worry about me, I have my own hands to hold it."

At first glance this phrase sounds unproblematic, but the person who uttered it had only just gratefully accepted a dish that another person had been served.

Lu Xun immediately added to what he had said, " Ye Yao also clips for me, he has a better feel for my tastes now."

In one short sentence, the emotional card Chu Shi had played before was torn to shreds.

Chu Shi's hand holding the prawn slowly withdrew as he barely managed to maintain his normal expression rather than shoot up, "Well then, I didn't expect you to have changed your tastes that much now, Brother Seek, I was careless."

Chu Shi viciously devoured the prawn.

Silence returned to the table, and it was as if none of the undercurrents had existed.

Lu Ming struggled to eat his white rice, his mind completely unable to stop the storm inside.

Chu Shi definitely has a crush on Lu Xun! He was now half sure of this, what normal friend would be jealous like this?

The problem is Lu Xun.

What Lu Xun said made him jump repeatedly across the line between this guy being so straight and this guy being so gay, making him dizzy.

Lu Ming's mind was aching as he looked up to see what was happening on the field, and when his eyes fell on Ye Yao, Ye Yao raised his eyes to meet his.

Ye Yao's eyes were open and she smiled at him in a very friendly way.

Lu Ming, in the midst of repeatedly jumping across the room, feels like he has been given a piece of mind and has broken free from the vortex of gay and not-gay.

Yeah, that's the kind of look he knows best, the pure straight man look!

At least he wasn't the only straight guy on the field, then he was relieved.

* The other two were left to rest after dinner.

After dinner, Lu Xun sent the other two away to let Ye Yao rest, considering that he had had a long day of driving and flying.

The next day, Lu Xun planned to take Ye Yao to one of their attractions for a while. And the two uninvited guests came over again, saying they wanted to go out together.

It's very common and common for people to go out together, which used to be fine with Lu Xun, but now he finds it unbearable.

"Do you two have nothing to do all day, why do you keep coming to me?" Lu Xun was expressionless, "If you don't have anything to do, go and find a factory to work in, so you don't have to be idle all day long."

"......" Ye Yao elbowed Lu Xun in the back to stop Lu Xun from speaking rudely, "It's fine, it's crowded."

Lu Xun's position changed rapidly: "That's right, so let's go together."

Lu Ming, already numb to Lu Xun's wallflower phenomenon, gave a chuckle.

Lu Ming's good natured attitude did not infect Chu Shi at all.

At an unnoticed angle, Chu Shi's fists balled up and his anger overwhelmed him.

In the past, Lu Xun was a man of his word and no one could change anything Lu Xun decided.

In the old days, if Lu Xun didn't want to go out, or didn't want to go out with other people, then even if he sent a hundred messages saying he wanted to go out with Lu Xun, it wouldn't do any good because he couldn't change Lu Xun's decision.

But now, Lu Xun has easily changed his decision for another person, and more than once.

He will let the man know what to do or ...... don't blame him for being rude.

* The other three are local people.

As the other three are local people, Ye Yao alone decides which sites to visit on this trip.

Ye Yao chose a certain ancient architectural site and the group set off.

Ye Yao has always lived in the south, and all the ancient architecture he has seen is basically of the Jiangnan waterfront type.

This is the mansion of a historically famous and high ranking official, and the entire mansion is so large that it cannot be walked through in a moment.

Lu Xun kept hooking up with Ye Yao and looked as if he wanted to grow on Ye Yao's body.

The pond was swarming with koi and many people were watching. Chu Shi took advantage of the crowd and saw the right moment to step forward so that her shoulder could touch Lu Xun's arm.

It was a very ordinary contact, Lu Xun looked at him, didn't say anything, but stood next to him with his arm around Ye Yao.

Lu Xun didn't like same-sex contact outside of fighting and playing football, so he avoided it as much as possible.

But now, on the other side of Lu Xun's arm, there is clearly another person of the same sex wrapped tightly around him.

Chu Ming said jokingly, "Brother Xuan, you're still allergic to same-sex contact?"

"It's good that you haven't forgotten." Lu Xun said.

" Ye Yao is also a man." Chu Shi added.

Lu Xun didn't even bother to answer.

Ye Yao was his best friend, how could this be the same?

He knows the difference between having many friends and only one best friend.

Leaving the pond full of koi, Ye Yao continued their stroll and came to a red wall.

Ye Yao realised that Chu Shi had come up to him at some point.

Chu Shi spoke softly to him, "Did you know? This wall also has a historical allusion."

"Like this?" Ye Yao became interested, "What historical allusion?"

Chu Shi continued slowly, "According to the history, the eldest son of the great official was seduced by a beautiful commoner's daughter, and was so dumb that he wanted to marry her as his wife. The official was furious and beat the commoner's daughter to death in front of this wall. It is said that the blood was splattered all over the wall at that time, so the wall was simply repainted and painted red."

It is not a pretty story, or even a scary one, but Chu Shi's tone is light as she tells it.

He watched Ye Yao's expression carefully, watching as surprise appeared on that pretty face before a slender brow furrowed, not a happy look by any stretch of the imagination.

The anger he had been holding for the past two days finally had an outlet, and with a sense of pleasure in his heart, Chu Shi continued to use the story to scold him: "Their status is different, how could the young master marry a commoner's daughter as his proper wife? How could the young master marry a commoner's daughter? If the girl had understood this earlier, she wouldn't have been unable to save her life."

Ye Yao sighed softly, "You're right, it's just too bad."

Chu Shi met Ye Yao's somewhat sad gaze and couldn't help but curl the corners of her mouth slightly, "I feel miserable too."

Ye Yao nods approvingly.

The feudalist period was indeed a period of cannibalism, even such things could happen. Fortunately, they were a socialist country under the people's democratic dictatorship, and it is still good to be socialist.

It is still necessary to learn more, especially more about the law, and to use the weapons of the law to protect oneself when one encounters injustice.

Lu Xun, a young man who knows a lot of allusions, is really a great teacher.

Ye Yao did not find anything wrong with the conversation and did not notice Lu Ming's subtle expression or Lu Xun's sunken face.

After half a lap, Ye Yao went to the toilet and Lu Xun, for the first time, did not offer to follow her.

By the time Ye Yao's figure disappeared from sight, the expression on Lu Xun's face had vanished into thin air.

He said to Chu Shi, "Come with me, I need to talk to you."

Chu Shi readily agreed, his heart pounding as he watched Lu Xun's back as he walked ahead.

They hadn't been alone for a long time, what would Lu Xun say to him? He had dressed up for the day, would Lu Xun find him extra nice today?

They came to a relatively sheltered corner and Lu Xun stopped in his tracks.

He turned back, his face horribly cold.

Lu Xun said in a cold voice, "What did you want to do when you said those words to Ye Yao?"

"Ah ......" Chu Shi froze and quickly changed his expression to one of resignation, "I didn't mean anything else ...... just simply to tell him a story about that wall, what's wrong?"

Chu Shi was not too flustered, he had only said a few words, he and Lu Xun had been friends for so many years, he didn't believe Lu Xun would do anything to him for a few words.

And in the next second, he was picked up by the collar of his shirt.

Lu Xun's face didn't show any mercy as the expensive clothes were carried around.

Faced with those dark eyes that had no trace of warmth in them, Chu Shi finally felt a certain fear.

Lu Xun said, word for word, with unmistakable clarity, "I don't care if you did it on purpose, just remember that in the future, if you do things and you make him unhappy, I will make you unhappy."

"Next time, if I hear you sowing discord between me and him, don't blame me for being rude." Lu Xun let go of his hand and sneered, "This is the first and last time I will give you a warning."
