Chapter 73: Giving Without Asking Anything in Return

“Where’s my little niece?” Chu Yuzhou drank a round of wine and still did not see Pei Yilan coming back. He teased, “Did she throw up in the toilet?”

“She went to look for Jiang Ye.”

“She’s having a date with him at this hour?”

“No.” Lin Jiao picked up a piece of apple and put it in her mouth. “Jiang Ye is in the hospital.”

“What’s going on?”

“Gastric hemorrhage.”

“That’s not lethal.” Chu Yuzhou was relieved to hear that he was not involved in a car accident.

He put his arm around Xia Nanrui’s waist and teased, “Speaking of which, they are progressing too slowly.”

“Pei Yilan is not as good as you.” Shen Yi looked at him as if he was an idiot.

However, Chu Yuzhou, who was drunk, thought that he was praising him. “What can I do? We like each other.”

Shen Yi was speechless.

It was more like she liked his money.

“Sigh, I want to have a girlfriend too.” Zhou Yanshen, who had just broken up with his ex, felt restless when he saw Chu Yuzhou having a beauty in his arm.

“Young Master Zhou, can’t you take a break?”

“I’ve already taken a break for a week.”

“Is one week long?” Shen Yi crossed his legs. “Then what about my twenty-eight years of break?”

“You haven’t been in a relationship before. You don’t know what it feels like.”

“What does it feel like to be rolling on the bed with someone else?”

Zhou Yanshen chuckled. “You can say that.”

“I think you can potentially have a kidney issue.” Shen Yi glanced at his waist and suggested, “Why don’t you come for a checkup tomorrow?”

“Get lost.”

“I’m serious. It won’t hurt to check.”

Lin Jiao initially did not want to participate in this topic, but out of worry, she asked, “Brother Yanshen, did you do a checkup this year?”

“Not yet.”

“Then find time to go to the hospital.”

Zhou Yanshen could not bring himself to say no to her kindhearted advice.

After making an appointment with Shen Yi, who was especially concerned about him, he turned to look at Chu Yuzhou. “Yuzhou, it’s time for you to check your kidney too.”

Chu Yuzhou burped.

He looked at all the men in the room and paused for two seconds before asking, “Why don’t we go together?”

“Sure, I’ll make an appointment for you guys.” Shen Yi took out his phone and prepared to send a WeChat message to his colleagues.

As he typed, he said, “Actually, women need to pay attention to their kidneys too.”

“What are the symptoms of kidney failure?” Xia Nanrui looked up, her eyes filled with curiosity.

“Insomnia, emotional instability, endocrine imbalance, swelling, and skin color.”

“I’ve been having a little insomnia recently.”

“Insomnia is not necessarily related to kidney problems.” Shen Yi took the cigarette from Pei Zhi. “You can do a check-up first.”

“Ok.” Xia Nanrui had this plan.

She leaned on Chu Yuzhou’s shoulder like a little kitten. “Yuzhou, you have to be by my side. Otherwise, I’ll feel afraid.”

“Of course I will.”

Chu Yuzhou’s gaze was especially gentle.

When they looked at each other affectionately, the atmosphere became especially hard to tolerate for others.

Zhou Yanshen quickly changed seats.

He sat between Pei Zhi and Shen Yi and said with a sigh, “I think he’s doomed.”

“He’s just enjoying the novelty for now.” Shen Yi looked away from them. “A relationship that is based on material exchanges can’t last long.”

“You’re being too absolute.”

Zhou Yanshen played a song so that Xia Nanrui would not hear it. “They like each other now, so this relationship can still develop.”

“Like each other?”

“Is there a problem?”

“That’s a big problem.”

Shen Yi watched Lin Jiao approach and did not use Pei Zhi as an example. “She doesn’t like Chu Yuzhou at all, okay?”

“How can you tell.”

“I just can.”

Zhou Yanshen was not in a hurry to refute.

He glanced at Xia Nanrui and could clearly see the undiluted joy in her eyes. “You’ve never been in a relationship before. You don’t understand.”

“Ask Lin Jiao if you don’t believe me.”

Lin Jiao, who had received multiple gazes at the same time, said firmly, “She doesn’t like him.”

“How do you define like?”

“Giving without asking anything in return.”

“That sounds silly.” Zhou Yanshen was probably used to this kind of relationship based on material exchanges and did not think there was a problem. “I think it’s normal.”

“How is that normal?”

“Don’t bother talking to him.” Shen Yi glanced at Zhou Yanshen in disdain. “He treats love as business. You can’t persuade him.”

Lin Jiao did not want to waste her breath either.

She tugged at Pei Zhi’s sleeve twice. When he looked over, she pointed at the watch on his wrist. “Let’s go home first, okay?”
