Wen Qi waited for Chu Weixu dully after he served a customer. He sat at the counter twirling a pen in his finger with a frown on his face, while his other hand propping his chin. He could be heard sighing a few times in the solitude.
Initially, Wen Qi thought that Chu Weixu was talking with the customer so he forgot to return sooner as he promised and relied on him here alone. Yet, he immediately dismissed the thought, then turned on his cell phone, and scrolled through the menu to view some messages that had come in on WeChat.
Wen Qi worked part-time at Xuyi Tea House for almost a year, replacing someone else. From the first time Wen Qi started working, Ai Zhiyi had only asked him to serve customers by taking and delivering their orders, but Chu Weixu insisted on asking him to learn to brew tea with the excuse that he might not be around and it was the young man who had to do it, exactly as what happened now.
For a week, Chu Weixu taught Wen Qi patiently. Even though the young man-made mistakes and harmed them financially several times, Chu Weixu never scolded him and Ai Zhiyi could understand it. In the end, Wen Qi became a reliable person.
Wen Qi always thought that they should have couriers to deliver orders, but he never said so directly. He assumed that what they decided must have some reason.
Not long after, the bell at the entrance rang again, signaling someone's presence.
A tall man stepped in. Wen Qi couldn't help but turn his attention towards the man. He noticed a dark blue suit that blended with his masculine body. Looking down, he found a pair of straight legs wearing a pair of freshly polished black leather shoes glistening under the lamplight.
This man … had a strong presence, like ancient kings!
When the man stepped towards the table, even from a distance, Wen Qi could clearly see that his perfectly sculpted face could drive anyone crazy.
Wen Qi recognized the man, so he immediately approached him.
Meanwhile, on the roadway.
Chu Weixu kept thinking about the woman and nearly crash a car parked on the roadside. Fortunately, he still had the awareness to be able to notice it sooner and dodge it immediately.
After five years had passed, now he was reunited with the woman. Instantly his bad experiences in the past were like a disease eating away at his mind. He couldn't help but grumble inside himself; cursed many things, including what he had just experienced.
He tried to stay focused and in the end, he managed until he arrived at a grocery shop.
After Chu Weixu bought some ingredients, he immediately returned to the tea house.
When he got there, he parked the scooter in the front yard and walked inside in a bad mood.
Chu Weixu saw Wen Qi sitting opposite a man. Where he was standing, he could only look at the man's back and had no weird thoughts other than leaving them alone as he thought that it was Wen Qi's acquaintance.
As he was about to walk towards the counter, Wen Qi suddenly exclaimed, "Ah, there he is! Brother Chu, come over here, someone is looking for you!"
A man sitting opposite Wen Qi turned his head, showing a cold familiar grin on his face, made Chu Weixu recognize him right away.
"Shenshu! You—"
Chu Weixu's mood got even worse. He clenched his fists harder, and took wide strides toward the man; exuded a rebellious air within him.
He didn't expect to face two damn people on the same day!
Chu Weixu looked at Chu Shenshu furiously. If only he hadn't thought about Ai Zhiyi's words asking him not to fight anymore, he would have wanted to land his fist right on the man's face as hard as he could without caring about the brotherhood that ran through his veins.
However, he had to control his emotions and refrain from slamming the table.
Wen Qi looked at both of them one after another and found that they were in a bad relationship. So, worried that a fight might break out in this place, Wen Qi tried to change the subject, "Um, Brother Chu, you took so long! You said you would—"
"Wen Qi!" Chu Weixu cut off Wen Qi's words in an angry tone, it was clear how disdain was gradually appearing in his sharp angry eyes, "Take these ingredients to the counter."
This time Wen Qi didn't dare to interrupt. He didn't even dare to make a sound, worried that the lions in front of him would bar their fangs and tear him apart.
Wen Qi immediately grabbed the ingredients, then rushed to the counter. He sat quietly while opening his laptop there.
Chu Shenshu took a sip of his tea gracefully, then lifted his gaze towards Chu Weixu. He smiled elegantly, but in Chu Weixu's eyes, he seemed to be boasting about his power.
Chu Weixu sat opposite his eldest brother with his arms crossed over his chest, still showing the same gaze as before.
If you look closely, Chu Weixu and Chu Shenshu had almost the same facial features, only, Chu Shenshu looked more mature and dignified by his appearance, while Chu Weixu had a casual appearance.
At the age of thirty-five, Chu Shenshu could still match the handsomeness of Chu Weixu who was seven years younger than him, even their attractiveness seemed unreasonable, on par with the handsomeness of a heavenly the most handsome god, and no one would be able to avoid their bewitching allure. People could go crazy if they had to choose between the two brothers.
"Little brother, how are you doing?"
Finally, after being isolated in an eerie silence, Chu Shenshu spoke up.
Unfortunately, Chu Weixu found a bad impression from the question. He snorted coldly, then began to sneer, "Bullshit. Say what you want right away."
Chu Shenshu looked at Chu Weixu with a mocking look, then leaned back in his chair, showing the same gesture as Chu Weixu. Slowly a line of a smile depicted the typical arrogance that he had on his face. He asked coldly, "Where's Zhiyi?"
Naturally, as soon as Chu Weixu heard someone looking for his lover, a fit of unstoppable anger rose in his heart causing an explosion in an instant. His fist immediately hit the table with a bang, even Wen Qi who was at the counter was shocked and tensed up.
While Chu Shenshu looked leisure, he didn't even reveal any emotion on his straight face. He even casually sipped his still-hot tea a few times, figuring that Chu Weixu's bluffs couldn't frighten people with more experience like himself.
Chu Shenshu had faced many games in the business and had encountered many characters, not to mention the bluffing of the enemies of his business rivals, so he would easily face a gangster-like Chu Weixu.
