Chapter 73: Doubt

Chang Qing looked at him for a while, but he didn’t say anything. Lu Zheng didn’t have any reaction and just lowered his head to type.

The atmosphere suddenly quieted down, and when the heat on Lu Zheng’s face subsided, he raised his eyes pretending to be calm, and looked at Chang Qing, “Why are you silent?”

Chang Qing stared into his eyes with a strange expression and asked, “What can I say after you said that?”

There was a flash of awkwardness on Lu Zheng’s face, but he quickly regained his composure. He was really good at putting on a show. If it weren’t for his inherited blushing physique, Chang Qing might not have noticed anything strange about him.

Including Lu Xuan, Chang Qing’s love experience was a total of three, not so much as not to see the difference.

At that time, he felt a thumping feeling in his heart, and had an indescribable feeling but he wasn’t sure, and he didn’t dare to draw a conclusion.

Chang Qing spoke again and said, “I didn’t mean that. I mean, we’re both adults. It depends on whether you have some free time to do activities that adults should do.”

Lu Zheng said impatiently: “You don’t keep me in suspense, just say it.”

Why are you always speaking so ambiguously?

Chang Qing said: “I know a really nice guy that I’d like to introduce to you.”

Commonly known as a blind date.

Lu Zheng: “………”

Lu Zheng raised his eyes to look at him, with a mocking arc on his lips, and he said in a bad tone, “Are you sick?”

Chang Qing looked at him with probing eyes, “Don’t you like boys? It just so happens that I know a very good boy.”

He had Qiao Zhenran’s connections, but it was still mostly due to his own abilities. The H&C audition had already been decided, but he wasn’t at ease either. He had been busy shooting on-and-off scenes for the past few days, and because his expression was a little hard to control he’d gone back to Tianxing to freeload some classes and thus really got to know Lin Yifeng.

Lin Yifeng has a really good temper, was as warm as jade, a little charming and very cute. It was a pity not to get together with Lu Zheng.

Maybe his mission in this world was to get them together as soon as possible.

As for the original owner… let him be wronged.

That’s what Chang Qing was going to do before. But it’s just that he calculated a thousand things but he didn’t calculate that Lu Zheng would blush because of his vague words just now.

He obviously misunderstood, and as to why he misunderstood, whether he had such a meaning in the first place….

Chang Qing didn’t dare to think about it.

Lu Zheng became obviously annoyed, “Is the Pacific Ocean your home? Your control that wide? Do I need your introduction to make friends?”

He became angry, and his gaze on Chang Qing was as sharp as a knife making his back tingle.

Chang Qing’s  original curiosity disappeared immediately. He softened his tone and said, “Then it’s okay to come out and play, right?”

Lu Zheng said coldly: “I make a million dollars a minute. How can I have time to play? Don’t bring it up again. You’re too much of a busybody.”

Chang Qing sighed and said, “Just take it as my blind worry. You’re still young, let’s talk about it in a few years.”

Lu Zheng: “…”

That tone of voice, you sound like his mother.

Lu Zheng said impatiently: “Get out of the way if you have nothing to do. Don’t stay here, it’ll affect my thinking.”

Chang Qing’s butt didn’t move. He looked at Lu Zheng’s lowered face. From his angle, he could only see the side of his face. With smooth skin, drooping eyebrows, high nose and slightly thin lips, he looked young and handsome.

No, it’s just that he thought wrong.

Chang Qing thought about it, then recalled the strangeness before. He could understand why Lu Zheng was so angry. After all Lu Hua didn’t want Lu Zheng to find a girlfriend. Based on his psychology, it was impossible for Lu Zheng to have this idea.

He respected his older brother Lu Xuan the most, doesn’t he?

But the more he dared not think about it, the more he fucking thought it was possible.

It’s too suspicious, why was Lu Zheng blushing!

Chang Qing felt that if he wasn’t sure, he might not be able to sleep at night.

Thinking of this, he felt a little anxious in his heart. He cleared his throat and asked, “Would you like some wine?”

Lu Zheng didn’t raise his head, and replied in a low voice, “No.”

Chang Qing said, “I’ll have a drink.”

He went to the wine cabinet in the side room to get a bottle of wine, then sat back down. He looked at the bottle of wine, and asked, “How much is this wine?”

Lu Zheng took a look, “Chateau Lafite 82, it’s about 30,000.”

Chang Qing: “…”

It’s a bit too expensive, right?

“Then how much is the wine you gave the teacher?”

Lu Zheng thought for a while, “Margaux, it’s about five thousand a bottle.”

Chang Qing breathed a sigh of relief, “Fortunately, you didn’t give her the Lafite.”

Lu Zheng curled his lips “I’m not that generous.”

Chang Qing took out two wine glasses and asked, “You really don’t want to drink?”     

Lu Zheng said firmly, “No.”

Chang Qing poured himself a full glass and rolled his eyes. In his heart, he really felt that Lu Zheng was suspicious and wanted to verify it, but this degree was very difficult to grasp.

If he goes too far, will Lu Zheng beat him up?

This was possible.

As soon as Chang Qing had this idea, he dismissed it and quickly backed off. It would be better to pretend that he didn’t know. Whether it was true or not, he would pretend that he didn’t know. It would be better for both of them.

…… It should be like this.

After Chang Qing thought about it, his heart calmed down and the little anxiety he’d felt disappeared, leaving only a little absent-mindedness.

He took a sip of red wine. They all said that it was easy to go from frugality to extravagance, and difficult to go from extravagance to frugality. He liked to drink red wine now. Every night, he would drink a small glass of wine, and he would sleep peacefully. If he goes back one day, can he still touch beer and liquor?

Chang Qing thought about it endlessly, and didn’t notice that Lu Zheng’s eyes fell on him.

Just a little glance wasn’t enough for Chang Qing to notice. He drank one mouthful after another before Lu Zheng looked at him openly and said in a low voice, “Don’t get drunk.”

Chang Qing shook his head. “I’ll only drink a little. I won’t get drunk.”

Lu Zheng didn’t continue talking.

Lu Zheng suddenly looked up at him, “Gay bar?”

Chang Qing noticed his face, and he was slightly taken aback, and said, “Yes, you should have been there, right?”

Lu Zheng felt that the focus was wrong, and asked again, “Who is Lin Yifeng?”

Chang Qing said: “A friend of mine.”

Lu Zheng didn’t say anything. He thought sourly to himself, okay, there are more and more friends. That Lin Xinyu was a straight man, and now there was another Lin Yifeng, “Lin Yifeng is gay too?”

Chang Qing hesitated for a moment. Although Lin Yifeng didn’t say anything, it was 100%. It was stated in the original book, so it should be correct.

Lu Zheng knew it was true when he saw his expression. But like he said, he didn’t care about Chang Qing dating, if he really has that in mind …… He said he would give him a dowry and send him away, so he’d send him away.

Chang Qing came back to his senses and said, “Right.”

He reacted again, glanced at Lu Zheng and added, “Just an ordinary friend.”

It’s almost like trying to cover it up.1

Lu Zheng couldn’t see any expression on his face. He lowered his eyes. The glow of the computer illuminated his face slightly. Even his narrow eyes widened slightly, reflecting a little light. “Are you going to go to the gay bar with him?”

He’s not so bad that he doesn’t even know what a gay bar is.

Chang Qing watched his face, lowered his voice and asked, “Are you going?”

Lu Zheng didn’t say anything.

After a while, he said in a low voice: “I won’t go.”

Chang Qing shook his head regretfully. He held the glass in his hand and drank a few more mouthfuls. His breath carried the mellow smell of red wine. Red wine wasn’t easy to drink, but it was easy to make people feel comfortable and warm and relaxed. “I’m just going to have a look,” he murmured loyally. “Just one look. I’ll be right back.”

Lu Zheng listened to him, turned off the computer, and put it on the table. “You can do whatever you want. Don’t tell me. I don’t care about you. Don’t worry about me either, and try and introduce me to someone. You’re not my mother. “

Chang Qing raised his eyes to look at him. The corners of his lips tugged up into a smile and he said: “Isn’t this… the eldest brother is like a father, and the eldest sister-in-law is like a mother?””

Lu Zheng’s gaze met his briefly then lightly moved away. He said nonchalantly “It’s really hard work for you, having a son as old as me.”

Chang Qing waved his hand and said slowly, “It’s not hard, the hardest time has passed…… It’s time to let go of you after all the hard work put into raising you.”

Lu Zheng showed a rare relaxed smile, “Okay, then I should call you Mom.”

Chang Qing paused for a moment, “Why don’t you call Dad, it sounds better.”

Lu Zheng: “… Haha.”

He smiled expressionlessly.

He restrained his smile, picked up the wine glass next to Chang Qing, and said in a casual tone, “I’ll have a drink too.”

Chang Qing reached out to pick up the wine bottle and poured him some wine. However, he didn’t know if it was because he was feeling hot and weak after drinking but Chang Qing had little strength in his hands, and the bottle was smooth. He didn’t hold it firmly. The wine bottle smashed down and overturned the wine glass. Suddenly, the red wine spilled all over the table and even fell on the carpet under his feet.

Chang Qing hurriedly bent down to grab the wine bottle, and Lu Zheng followed suit. The two of them grabbed the wine bottle at the same time. Coincidentally, their fingers were held together in the same position, with Lu Zheng’s held underneath Chang Qing’s.

Chang Qing’s heart skipped a beat. He pretended not to care, but couldn’t help glancing at Lu Zheng’s face from the corner of his eye.

Lu Zheng’s expression was normal. He picked up the wine bottle, ignoring the fact that Chang Qing was still weakly holding his fingers. He went ahead and let go of the bottle and went to pick up the cup.

Chang Qing let go of Lu Zheng’s hand in mid-air, and watched him bend down to pick up the cup, “I’m sorry, I’m a bit tired.”

Lu Zheng picked up the cup, put it on the table, paused, and said in a low voice: “Stop drinking.”

Chang Qing looked at him in confusion, “I can still have a drink.”

Lu Zheng looked at him with something else in his eyes, “Are you drunk or not?”

Chang Qing’s eyes were still clear. It was a bit funny for Lu Zheng to ask this question, but he still answered honestly: “I’m not drunk.”

Lu Zheng stretched out his hand and took out a lot of paper towels to wipe up the alcohol on the table, and said in an unsteady voice, “You did that on purpose, didn’t you?”

Chang Qing: “…on purpose?”

Lu Zheng raised his eyes. The emotion in his eyes was finally exposed, accompanied by restless impatience. “You didn’t hold it steady on purpose, did you?”

Just like the last few times, when he fell down and hurt himself. It was all deliberately done by Chang Qing, right?

Lu Zheng was strongly suspicious of Chang Qing.
