Chapter 136: Chapter 136: Unavoidably Leads to Wild Thoughts

"You didn’t think of who I was lying for!" Zhou Shuyan said irritably as he flicked her forehead lightly.

Even as Lu Youxi made fun of him, Zhou Shuyan still controlled his strength, afraid of hurting her.

Taken by surprise by his intimate gesture, Lu Youxi felt dumbfounded and just stared at Zhou Shuyan.

Zhou Shuyan seemed unaware of her reaction, as he gently rubbed the spot on her forehead where he had flicked, his throat rolling with a chuckling tone, "Have you noticed that your eyebrow-raising gesture is very similar to mine?"

"Boom!"

The blankness in Lu Youxi’s brain turned bright red with the touch of his thumb to her forehead, like a morning glow.

But as he said these words, there was a sudden thunderous crash of blinding and piercing lightning and thunder.

"Stunned?" Zhou Shuyan’s fingertips lightly tapped her forehead again.

Finally snapping back to reality, Lu Youxi was still a bit dazed.

The blankness in her brain began to dissipate, not completely clear, as if covered with a thin fog, but she managed to find some words, stuttering, "Who... who is similar to you!"

Zhou Shuyan let out a snort of laughter, "I had noticed your eyebrow-raising before, but at that time, I just felt it looked familiar without being able to recall where I’d seen it. Just now, when I saw you do it, it’s like I had an epiphany, and suddenly realized it’s identical to mine."

Lu Youxi: "!!!"

She hadn’t noticed this herself.

After Zhou Shuyan mentioned it, Lu Youxi suddenly realized that she didn’t have the habit of raising her eyebrows in her past life.

But in this life, it seems she indeed does it often.

She hadn’t felt it before, nor had she noticed this little habit.

Now that Zhou Shuyan mentioned it, it seemed to make sense!

Lu Youxi’s face turned "swoosh" red.

Zhou Shuyan’s lips curved up slightly as he said, "It’s nothing to worry about. After all, we spend a lot of time together, it’s normal for you to pick up some of my habits."

Lu Youxi: "..."

What does he mean by picking up his habits!

The use of the word ’picking up’ really makes one’s imagination run wild!

"Let’s go, I’ll treat you to a meal," Zhou Shuyan said with a smile, his voice still bubbly with mirth.

Lu Youxi remembered hearing a similar sound when speaking with him on the phone.

But hearing it in person seemed even more pleasant.

With her ears and face flushed red, Lu Youxi immediately turned and walked straight ahead upon hearing Zhou Shuyan’s words.

Yet the heat on her face and ears persisted.

Zhou Shuyan glanced at her with a slight tilt of his head, smiling without saying anything further.

Like the last time, the two found a small restaurant nearby to go into.

This time, it was a stir-fry eatery.

Zhou Shuyan thought to himself as he sat on the peeling bench that his actions of eating at such small diners were becoming smoother.

Lu Youxi ordered two inexpensive stir-fried dishes and two bowls of rice.

Feeling somewhat guilty, Zhou Shuyan scratched his nose, wanting to tell Lu Youxi she didn’t need to save money on his account but didn’t know how to begin.

Seeing Zhou Shuyan’s gesture, Lu Youxi raised her eyebrow.

Right as her brows settled, she realized she had raised them again!

Internally cursing, it seemed Lu Youxi couldn’t shake this habit.

Tit for tat, Lu Youxi said, "Suddenly feeling guilty about something?"

Zhou Shuyan: "!!!"

How did Lu Youxi know he felt guilty!

"Heh!" Lu Youxi chuckled, "You never used to touch your nose before! Did you pick that up from me?"

Zhou Shuyan: "!!!"

Zhou Shuyan then remembered that he only had the small motion of raising his eyebrow.

The nose-touching gesture wasn’t his habit before.

It indeed seemed to have started after he got to know Lu Youxi.

Yet even Xu Jingmin had never noticed this unconscious habit—unexpectedly, Lu Youxi had.

"Let’s not tease each other then," Zhou Shuyan laughed softly, "We’re both influenced by the other."

"So, what exactly are you feeling guilty about?" Lu Youxi asked again.

"Cough!" Zhou Shuyan’s mind raced, trying desperately to come up with an excuse, "Isn’t it because every time we eat at places like this, it doesn’t seem quite right? I should at least treat you to something nicer."

"Why isn’t this good?" Lu Youxi spoke as the dishes were served, "Back home, I never had the chance to dine out. Since coming to the Imperial Capital, you’ve already treated me twice."

Zhou Shuyan chuckled silently. To say this girl was easy to please—yet she was earnestly working hard, wanting to start her own business.

Zhou Shuyan had realized Lu Youxi’s ambition to buy that store.

But to say she was hard to satisfy, yet she seemed quite happy with such inexpensive eateries.

While they talked and ate, the ringtone of Zhou Shuyan’s phone placed beside him went off.

He glanced at it—it was a call from Yu Zeqin.

"What’s up?" Zhou Shuyan answered.

"Shao Yunbo and the others have all been sorted out," Yu Zeqin reported.

Zhou Shuyan stood up, stepped outside the restaurant, and said at the entrance, "Tell Qiu Wanyun and his people to come for a meeting at 9 AM on Monday morning. Tell Shao Yunbo and his team the same, and also, to be prepared to resume their positions."

"Understood," Yu Zeqin responded.

When Zhou Shuyan returned, Lu Youxi could visibly see his mood had improved.

*

Monday, at Chengzhou Group.

Zhou Xueyi’s confidants arrived one after another at the meeting room before 8:55 in the morning.

Since Zhou Shuyan’s return, Zhou Xueyi had automatically gone back to run Chengzhou Technology as its CEO.

This meeting naturally didn’t include him.

However, after Qiu Wanyun and the others received the Monday morning meeting notice, they told Zhou Xueyi.

So Zhou Xueyi, though not present, knew about the meeting.

Zhou Shuyan was well aware of this fact. It proved as long as these people were in power for one day, Zhou Xueyi could grasp the information on his side.

In the meeting room, Zhou Shuyan hadn’t arrived yet.

Yawning, Qiu Wanyun said, "What does the CEO want us here for? And so early in the morning, without even giving us time to prepare after arriving at the company."

"I don’t know either," Ren Hengda, the acting general manager, shook his head, "Did President Zhou say anything?"

"President Zhou" referred to Zhou Xueyi.

"President Zhou hasn’t given any news," said Gao Xuexin, the acting finance manager, "Let’s just wait and see today, then discuss it with President Zhou afterward."

"Ah, without President Zhou here, I always feel uneasy," sighed Qiu Wanyun, feeling like he was walking on a shaky bridge about to fall off any moment.

"So true," Ren Hengda agreed.

"By the way, what about Zheng Jingwei and his team?" Gao Xuexin remembered.

"I asked about it," Ren Hengda said, "They mentioned everything was normal."
