vv: I was so much in a daze while tling that I forgot I had planned to use “ge” in place of brother… So I’ll be using ge during conversation, for instance, with Li Ying-ge and Zhao Wen-ge.

Jiang Yu didn’t expect him to answer such a sentence; he was stunned for a moment. He didn’t know whether he was genuinely confused or had deliberately asked.

He reacted for a while and immediately cooperated: “Yes, of course, please take it easy.”

Immediately seeing that the cup had bottomed out, Jiang Yu poured another cup for him and put it beside him after pouring.

“Ge,” he smiled playfully, “Look at my service today; are you satisfied?”

Li Ying also smiled: “Satisfied, I feel your hospitality.”

It was almost evening when the cards were done playing, and a self-service barbecue was prepared for everyone in the large garden of the villa.

When Jiang Yu and Li Ying went out, Li Wenhao was coaxing Chen Jingjing, who looked unhappy.

Seeing Jiang Yu coming down, Li Wenhao called him immediately.

Jiang Yu took Li Ying and walked over: “What’s the matter?”

Li Wenhao said, “If you cause trouble, you have to solve it yourself.”

Jiang Yu was puzzled. When did he get into trouble? Wasn’t he playing cards?

Seeing that Chen Jingjing pursed her lips and remained silent, Li Wenhao explained after a while, “Didn’t a freshman from our university come to pester you a while ago?” He glanced at Chen Jingjing as he spoke: “Later she went to find that girl in the dormitory, and the two of them had a very unpleasant quarrel. Now they bumped into each other again today.”

Chen Jingjing glanced at the unfamiliar Li Ying, paused, and couldn’t help but say, “I’ll leave right away; I don’t want to stay in your fellowship event for a minute longer.”

Li Wenhao laughed angrily: “Why are you attacking indiscriminately?”

Jiang Yu understood, and he also felt a little funny. He looked at Chen Jingjing and said, “Why are you bothering her? It will be fine after a while.”

“Then how can she be so obsessive?” Chen Jingjing curled her lips unhappily.

Wiping the setting sun from Jiang Yu’s face, his hair glowed a warm orange colour.

“Let her be obsessed.” Jiang Yu narrowed his eyes slightly in the sunset and said lazily, “Anyway, I won’t like her because she is obsessive.”

Li Ying turned his head to look at him, and Jiang Yu’s already good-looking facial features became more and more gorgeous under the setting sun.

He had no expression on his face and a casual tone, as if he didn’t care about anything.

In the end, Chen Jingjing still insisted on leaving, rejected Li Wenhao’s proposal to send her home, and only asked Jiang Yu to send her out.

After Jiang Yu sent her out, he waited with her on the road for a while and did not go back until the bus arrived.

The smell of barbecue wafted out, and Jiang Yu was already hungry on the way back to the villa.

“Jiang Yu.” Zhao Wen called out as soon as he walked in the door and handed him a bunch of chicken wings, “Yours.”

Jiang Yu took the chicken wing and took a bite. Seeing only Zhao Wen and Li Wenhao, he looked around and asked, “Where is Li Ying-ge?”

Zhao Wen ate meat and was very satisfied. Hearing this, he raised his hand and pointed to the side, saying, “Grilling.”

Jiang Yu glanced over there, and there were many people standing among the smoke from the barbecue. Among them, the tall and slender young man was particularly conspicuous with his outstanding temperament.

Jiang Yu ate chicken wings and chatted with the two for a while, then walked towards Li Ying’s place.

He gnawed on the chicken wings and walked into the choking smoke, standing beside Li Ying and asking, “What did you grill?”

Li Ying tilted his head and coughed lightly, and he handed him the grilled meat skewers: “These can be eaten.”

“You eat first,” Jiang Yu said, throwing away the bamboo stick after eating, “I’ll grill it for a while.”

“It’s okay, you eat first; I grilled the ones in my hands.” Li Ying lowered his eyes; his brows were slightly frowning in the smoke, and he grilled seriously.

Jiang Yu was indeed a little hungry. While waiting for Li Ying, he picked up a bunch of crispy bones and ate them first.

Li Ying took the time to turn to look at him and ask, “Is it delicious?”

“Delicious,” Jiang Yu gave him a thumbs up, “Crispy and tender, just right, worthy of our university male god.”

Li Ying looked at him for two seconds, then suddenly raised his hand to gently rub against the side of his face.

“Huh?” Jiang Yu subconsciously let out a doubt.

“I just touched casually,” Li Ying explained lightly.

“Oh.” Jiang Yu didn’t care; he picked up a skewer of barbecued meat and handed it to Li Ying’s mouth, asking, “Do you want to have a taste first?”
(vv: *facepalm* this guy; he doesn’t really understand anything.)

Li Ying lowered his eyes and glanced at the grilled skewers in front of him, paused for a moment, and leaned forward to take a bite.

“How is it?” Jiang Yu looked at him and continued to eat right where he bit.

Li Ying stared at him for a few seconds without blinking, then lightly withdrew his eyes away, licked the residual barbecue on his lower lip, and flipped through the skewers in his hand.

“It’s delicious.” He commented softly.

Not long after, Zhao Wen and Li Wenhao walked over together.

Zhao Wen looked at the grilled skewers in Li Ying’s hand; it seemed that they were almost cooked. He raised his hand to take two skewers, but Li Ying slapped his hand away.

“Go bake yourself,” Li Ying said in an unreasonable way.

Zhao Wen looked at the skewers in Jiang Yu’s hands, paused for a moment, and said, “Didn’t you have a grilled skewer?”

“Hmm,” Li Ying sprinkled seasoning on the skewers and said slowly, “Not enough.”

After finishing speaking, he handed it directly to Jiang Yu.

Zhao Wen immediately widened his eyes and cursed in a low voice: “Damn, what do you mean?”

Jiang Yu was very proud. To be honest, Li Ying’s double standards really won his heart, and they always made him feel very happy for no reason.
(vv: …)

Li Ying glanced at Zhao Wen and said, “Do it yourself; have enough food and clothing.”

“I didn’t think you were already roasting,” Zhao Wen said.

After an afternoon, everyone was almost familiar with each other. The boys were careless when they talked, and they didn’t have any scruples.

So he glanced at Jiang Yu and said, “Then Jiang Yu doesn’t need to do anything?”

Jiang Yu was gnawing potatoes and said with a smile, “We have a good relationship, envious?”

After speaking, he felt that he was a little too proud and looked sideways at Li Ying.

He saw a smile on the corner of his mouth, and he saw him turn his head and look at him, humming softly as if responding to him.

Zhao Wen choked for a moment: “Okay, I understand.”

At this time, Li Wenhao walked up to Jiang Yu, glanced at Li Ying, and bumped Jiang Yu’s arm: “When did you make such a good friend without saying a word? Are we still buddies?”

Jiang Yu was always careless, and when he heard that, he took a piece of potato from the bamboo stick and said nonchalantly, “What’s there to say, motherfucker?”

Li Wenhao choked up, thinking about it. Although they have a good relationship, both of them are big boys. Except for playing games, other aspects are not as delicate as girls. If he has a new friend, he will not go out of his way to tell Jiang Yu.

After the barbecue, it was getting late, and there would be a dance party in the evening. This was the part that everyone was most looking forward to. In the rendering of music and lighting, the atmosphere was most likely to be ignited, and single men and women were also more likely to get acquainted.

But except for Zhao Wen, the others were not interested in this kind of occasion, so they decided to leave first after discussing.

This place is a bit remote; it happened that Li Ying drove the car today, so he took Jiang Yu and Li Wenhao back along the way.

Logically speaking, it would be more convenient for this section of the road to send Jiang Yu first and then Li Wenhao, but Li Ying still took a detour and sent Li Wenhao home first.

Then they took a detour to Jiang Yu’s house. Passing a block on the way, Jiang Yu suddenly asked to get off the car and asked Li Ying to find a place to wait for him.

Li Ying thought he was in a hurry to find the toilet, but Jiang Yu came back with two cups of milk tea in his hand.

Jiang Yu handed him one of the cups and said, “We just won two cups of milk tea today.”

Li Ying didn’t expect him to remember this, so he couldn’t help laughing.

Without Li Wenhao, the car became quieter. Jiang Yu sat in the passenger seat, drank a few sips of milk tea, and suddenly turned his head to look at Li Ying.

“How do you feel about today’s event?” Jiang Yu asked boredly.

“It was not bad.” Li Ying said, “It was fun, and the food was good.”

“What about the girls?” Jiang Yu stirred the straw and took a sip of the pulp inside, “Did you like someone?”

Li Ying didn’t speak.

Jiang Yu thought he didn’t like anyone, so he couldn’t help laughing and joking: “That’s right, you are so perfect, most people definitely won’t be liked by you.”

Li Ying was silent for two seconds, glanced sideways at him, and then denied it after a moment: “No.”

“What no?” Jiang Yu asked.

Li Ying said, “There is no perfection, and there is no disdain.”

Jiang Yu looked at the profile of him driving, drank milk tea, and uttered an oh.

Not long after, the car stopped at Jiang Yu’s house. Jiang Yu unbuttoned his seat belt and was about to get off when he heard Li Ying ask, “What about you?”

“Huh?” Jiang Yu turned his head.

“Is there any girl who was likeable today?” Li Ying asked.

Jiang Yu smiled when he heard this and sat back again: “It’s not like I’m going to participate in a fellowship.”

Li Ying looked at him sideways, was silent for a moment, and asked, “How about Chen Jingjing?”
(vv: My man clearly knows when to hit the right spot.)

Jiang Yu lowered his eyes and bit the straw, hesitating slightly: “Which aspect do you ask?”

Li Ying moved his eyes lightly and touched the cigarette in the storage box by the car door: “Nothing, just asking.”

The car suddenly became quiet; only the sound of Jiang Yu sipping milk tea was left.

The two sat quietly for a while. Jiang Yu saw that he had no intention of leaving immediately, and he planned to drink the milk tea before leaving so as not to be asked by Jiang Meng why he didn’t buy her a cup.

“Can I smoke a cigarette?” Li Ying asked.

“Yes,” Jiang Yu said carelessly, as if he thought it was amusing, “It’s your car, why do you ask me?”

Jiang Yu looked at his skillful cigarette lighting posture and made a joke: “It turns out that male gods can also smoke.”

Li Ying suddenly turned his head to look at him and said, “Are you thinking too highly of me?”

Jiang Yu froze for a moment: “Huh?”

“I’m not as powerful or perfect as you think.” Li Ying said, “Some people may not like me.”

“They don’t like you?” Jiang Yu was a little surprised.

After all, Li Ying’s conditions in all aspects are already at the ceiling level. If some people look down on this, it will be really difficult to find someone with better conditions than him.

“En.” Li Ying rested his elbow on the car window, shaking the soot with his lowered eyes. The corners of his mouth were slightly curved, and the smile in his eyes was weak. “He doesn’t like me.”
(vv: here once again, “he 他” is not used for male sex but for either sex, yk when sex is unknown or unimportant. (Because his sexual orientation hasn’t been revealed to others, it will be considered like this until they know.)

Jiang Yu glanced at him, a little surprised that he would have someone he liked. Subconsciously, he was a little defensive.

“Don’t even like you? What kind of fairy is that?” Jiang Yu said.

Hearing this, Li Ying smiled lightly and glanced sideways at him, saying, “Yeah, quite immortal.”
