Chapter 263: Chapter 263: This is the Basic Accomplishment as a Husband

As a result, she saw all three of her roommates sporting teasing smiles. Lu Xiaohui winked suggestively at Lu Youxi, "Zhou Shuyan is waiting for you at the school gate, isn’t he?"

Lu Youxi couldn’t see whether her face had turned red or not, but the mere mention of Zhou Shuyan made her feel her face burn with embarrassment.

Lu Youxi found it strange as it hadn’t been like this before.

Even in her past life, she had never experienced this.

Neither with Lin Jingshen nor with anyone else.

In her past life, due to her work, she had met all kinds of people.

She had known quite a few young talents who were even more outstanding than Lin Jingshen.

But she had never felt this way before.

Lu Youxi couldn’t help but cover her face, thinking maybe it was because of this that she was under the illusion that she had seen it all in her past life and couldn’t possibly be bewitched by a youngster like Zhou Shuyan.

It also led to her being utterly defenseless in front of Zhou Shuyan, acting instead like a little girl who knew nothing.

Lu Youxi sighed, telling herself that it mustn’t be her own problem, but that Zhou Shuyan was just too enchanting.

She even suspected that even if she had lived to old age in her previous life, having seen everything there was to see, she would still be no match for Zhou Shuyan in this life.

Lu Youxi, with her face blushing, waved at them and said, "I’m not talking to you guys anymore, I’m leaving."

"Go on, go on," Xia Jinqiao waved to Lu Youxi with a smile.

Lu Youxi jogged all the way to the school gate.

It wasn’t until she was almost at the school gate that she began to slow down.

Turning the corner, she finally saw the school gate.

But at this moment, the place was crowded, and Zhou Shuyan’s position at the school gate was obscured by passing students, leaving Lu Youxi unable to spot him.

She moved closer to the gate, and only then, through the many students coming and going, did she see Zhou Shuyan standing there.

He was still wearing the suit from the morning.

Now at some distance, Lu Youxi couldn’t make out whether the wrinkles she had caused on the chest of his suit were still there.

She had been anxious initially, but upon seeing Zhou Shuyan, Lu Youxi’s pace inexplicably slowed down.

It was as if she forgot the path beneath her feet; all her attention was focused on Zhou Shuyan.

As she walked closer, Zhou Shuyan’s face came into clearer view.

He had been facing the direction inside the school, and now he also saw her.

In the second he saw her, his face, which had looked somewhat stern, suddenly relaxed.

His eyebrows and eyes were filled with a smile.

Those originally oppressive black eyes softened, their warm, gleaming brightness shining in the evening sunlight.

The smile that bloomed upon seeing her even gave Lu Youxi a feeling as if spring had melted into the earth.

Lu Youxi, who had unconsciously slowed down, quickened her pace, hurrying out of the school gate to him.

But then she didn’t know what to say to Zhou Shuyan.

Facing him now, she found herself at a loss for words.

The tenderness in Zhou Shuyan’s eyes deepened, and he raised his hand, his fingertips gently threading through her hair, tidying the strands tousled from her run and the wind.

As Zhou Shuyan looked at Lu Youxi’s face, he wondered if she knew how intently she was looking at him.

Blatantly telling him, and everyone around them, that he was the only one in her eyes.

Being treated with such focused attention by Lu Youxi felt unexpectedly wonderful.

Zhou Shuyan sighed inwardly, realizing he had to find an opportunity to come clean to Lu Youxi soon.

"Didn’t I tell you there was no need to rush?" Zhou Shuyan asked as he saw Lu Youxi running, still out of breath.

"Even though you said that, I couldn’t very well keep you waiting," Lu Youxi explained.

"What’s there to be embarrassed about with me?" Zhou Shuyan said with a faint smile, taking Lu Youxi’s hand and walking towards the subway station.

Lu Youxi then started asking him about Lawyer Sheng, "Even though he said he was particularly close to your father, as a prominent lawyer, I can’t expect him to work for nothing, right?"

Zhou Shuyan thought to himself that Lawyer Sheng was pretty quick to respond, and the excuse he gave was convincing enough to fool even Lu Youxi.

"Let me handle this," Zhou Shuyan said, "I’ll talk to Lawyer Sheng later. He would feel awkward accepting your payment, but he would have no issue accepting mine."

Lu Youxi found it very odd.

Wasn’t Lawyer Sheng close to Zhou Shuyan’s father?

Why would he feel embarrassed to take her money, but be willing to take Zhou Shuyan’s?

"Just let me know how much it is when the time comes," Lu Youxi said.

"Or should it be considered as part of my investment?" Zhou Shuyan couldn’t possibly ask Lu Youxi for money, "Besides, it’s awkward for a couple like us to talk about money."

Lu Youxi thought to herself that they were only married in name, and indeed, it did feel quite awkward.

"Are you planning to invest in the cybercafe or the restaurant?" Lu Youxi asked.

"The restaurant, I suppose," Zhou Shuyan replied, although it really didn’t matter to him, "Isn’t Lawyer Sheng going to draft an employment contract for you later? Mainly for the students working at the restaurant, right?"

"Okay," Lu Youxi nodded, seriously considering the matter.

*

When they arrived at the entrance of the neighborhood, Lu Youxi told Zhou Shuyan, "I need to make a trip to the cybercafe to discuss some business with Ji Deyi and Pei Jingyuan."

"Alright, I’ll go home and wait for you," Zhou Shuyan nodded.

Lu Youxi was a bit surprised that Zhou Shuyan didn’t ask to accompany her.

"Since it’s business, I won’t interfere," Zhou Shuyan said, "I won’t disrupt your work."

Just as Lu Youxi never pried into his work, he also wanted to give Lu Youxi enough space to work.

For some reason, Lu Youxi felt like she understood what Zhou Shuyan meant.

She had never experienced this before.

Where had this man, Zhou Shuyan, gotten such thoughtfulness and attention to detail?

"Is it to give me enough space to work?" Lu Youxi still asked.

Zhou Shuyan nodded with a light smile, "You probably don’t like it when someone interrupts you while you’re working, doing things that blur the line between public and private."

"It’s okay to observe while I’m working, but I’m surprised by how much you respect my work space," Lu Youxi said. Moreover, due to the matter involving the application for the Chengzhou support plan, it was better to keep Zhou Shuyan out of it.

To be cautious, as long as Zhou Shuyan wasn’t aware of the matter at all and had no involvement in it, it wouldn’t impact his own work.

Even if knowing wouldn’t necessarily cause any issues, Lu Youxi didn’t want to bring any possible negative consequences to Zhou Shuyan, so she was overly cautious.

Zhou Shuyan raised his eyebrows slightly, and suddenly tickled the palm of Lu Youxi’s hand.

A ticklish sensation flowed from Lu Youxi’s palm into a tingling current up her arm, causing her to go weak on one side.

"This is just basic decency as a husband," Zhou Shuyan said, his eyes curving into a smile as he watched Lu Youxi.

Lu Youxi wondered how Zhou Shuyan could adapt to his role so quickly.

Despite their official marriage certificate, Lu Youxi had never truly felt they were a married couple.
