Su Zhengliang looked at a table full of delicious food, but he had no appetite.
How can I have an appetite when eating at the same table as this man?
After stuffing a mouthful of beef tenderloin with black pepper, Su Zhengliang chewed it like wax. He glanced at the opposite side, Lin Xiluo seemed to be in a good mood, picked up a piece of fish, slowly picked out the thorn, and then put it into Su Zhengqing's bowl.
There was a smile in the pretty person's eyes, and two red clouds flew over her pretty face.
The seemingly loving couple played a sweet drama in front of him, and Su Zhengliang tried his best to control the intense emotions in his heart.
After taking a bite of the fish with her pink mouth, Su Zhengqing cleared her throat and said, "Xiao Liang, since you and Xiluo are old acquaintances, why have I never heard you mention him?"
Su Zhengliang's hand holding the spoon paused, and he was speechless for a moment. He didn't know how to answer.
The man opposite put down his chopsticks and said lightly, "Xiao Liang and I are not close friends. We had several professional collaborations when we were in college. After graduation, I went abroad. We just did it half a year ago.
After coming back and not contacting me for so many years, maybe he has long forgotten about me as a senior."
Su Zhengliang frowned slightly and shook his head, "How could it be possible that I, Su Zhengliang, could forget a 'heartthrob' like you who made all the difference in the university? It's just that the past events are not worth mentioning.
See you, we have gotten to know each other again, don’t you think so, Mr. Linsilo?”
Lin Xiluo's bright black eyes flashed with a hint of surprise, and he gently touched the corner of his mouth, "Yes, let's get acquainted again."
Looking straight at the handsome face that was more mature and heroic than six years ago, he smiled lightly and said, "Su Zhengliang, 27 years old, piano teacher at S University of Music."
"Lin Xiluo, 28 years old, general manager of Tailong International."
"?"
Although he had warned himself long ago that everything about this man had nothing to do with him, Su Zhengliang's heart still skipped a beat when he heard his current identity.
"I haven't seen him for many years. Mr. Lin Xiluo suddenly transformed into an elite in the business world. It really opened my eyes."
Lin Xiluo looked at the handsome and sullen face opposite him and retorted, "Thank you for the nonsense. I can't even talk about being an elite in the business world. It's just that compared to others, my luck is indeed a little better, so I can be successful in my career."
There has been some improvement. But for the Lin Group, this is completely insufficient."
Su Zhengliang picked up the wine glass, and his plain voice gradually lengthened, "But General Manager Lin, your Tailong International popularity index is so high, it is inseparable from your own ability. I am here to wish you all the best in your career."
"Thank you," Linsilo raised his glass and drank all the champagne inside.
Feeling this inexplicable and strange atmosphere, Su Zhengqing on the side finally couldn't help but speak, "I told you what is wrong with you two, it feels weird."
"Sister, we're fine," Su Zhengliang realized that Su Zhengqing was muttering dissatisfied, and immediately lowered his eyelids, "Sorry, I have to go to the bathroom." Putting down the cup, he walked outside as if running away.
Lin Xiluo looked at the retreating figure, his dark eyes gradually filled with meaning.
**********Su Zhengliang stood in front of the sink, washed his face with cold water, and looked at himself carefully.
The face of the person in the mirror was pale, and his narrow black eyes were filled with unconcealable anxiety and uneasiness. His messy bangs were wet with water, and drops of water kept dripping into the pool.
Taking a deep breath, he warned himself in his heart: Su Zhengliang, you and he ended six years ago, and no matter what happens to him now, he has nothing to do with you.
But, how could it be such a coincidence that my sister’s boyfriend is him? No, I must not let my sister be with such a heartless man!
Su Zhengliang's delicate brows gradually wrinkled, and his hand holding the sink was tightly closed.
"What's wrong with you?" At some point, Lin Xiluo's tall and handsome figure appeared behind him in the mirror.
"You look so bad? Your hair is wet too," he leaned over and said jokingly in Su Zhengliang's ear, "could it be that you are sick?"
The warm breath blew past his ears, but the concerned words seemed so gloating, which made Su Zhengliang tremble all over. Turning around, he grabbed the other person's ironed and straight tie, and said uncontrollably, "Lin Xiluo"
, what exactly are you going to do?”
The angry roar attracted the attention of others, and several people looked at him with surprised eyes.
Lin Xiluo grabbed the cold palm and said expressionlessly, "Mr. Su, please pay attention to your words in public."
Su Zhengliang struggled to withdraw his painful hand, his face turned blue, "Lin Xiluo, leave my sister."
Lin Xiluo raised his eyebrows slightly, "Why?"
Su Zhengliang raised his head and said seriously, "I can't let her happiness be ruined in your hands."
Lin Xiluo crossed his arms and narrowed his eyes, "This is a matter between me and her, you have no right to interfere."
Su Zhengliang said coldly, "Sister is my most important relative in the world. I don't know what method you used to confuse her mind. But, let me tell you, as long as I, Su Zhengliang, am here for a day, you will never let my sister
With a man like you."
Lin Xiluo endured the anger that was about to rise and said in a deep voice, "A person like me?" With a low sneer, he stepped forward and forced Su Zhengliang into the corner. Then he raised his arms to support the wall and pushed
He circled between his strong body and the corner, "Then what are you, Su Zhengliang?"
Su Zhengliang met the opponent's aggressive aura and frowned, "What do you mean?"
When the people nearby saw this scene, they were so scared that they left quietly. At this moment, only the two confronting each other were left in the bathroom.
His tall body blocked the light. Lin Xiluo looked down at Su Zhengliang, "What do you think?"
Su Zhengliang bit her lower lip hard and turned her head away stubbornly, "In short, I will never let my sister and you continue like this!"
The man's handsome face was hidden in the shadows, and his expression could not be seen clearly. "Her willingness to associate with me is her own choice, and others have no right to interfere."
Turning his head sideways, Su Zhengliang gritted his teeth, "That's because he doesn't understand you."
Lin Xiluo asked him back, "Then I have to ask you, how much does your sister know about you?"
"I……"
"My younger brother is gay, and he once dated his current boyfriend. As long as you say it, I don't care," Lin Xiluo shrugged and disagreed.
"Linxiluo, you..."
"If you want your sister to leave me, you have to put in a lot of effort, Su Zhengliang." After saying this, Lin Xiluo walked away without looking back.
Su Zhengliang pressed against the smooth tiled wall of the bathroom, thinking carefully about Lin Xiluo's words, and was stunned for a long time.
Linxiluo, what kind of medicine are you selling in the gourd? What does this last sentence mean?
After hesitating for a while, Su Zhengliang came back to his senses, quickly sorted out his emotions, and walked back to the restaurant.
Su Zhengqing saw Su Zhengliang returning to his seat with a pale face, "Xiao Liang, are you okay? Why were you gone for so long?"
Su Zhengliang shook his head at Su Zhengqing, "Sister, I'm fine."
This tasteless dinner ended quickly, and Su Zhengliang said goodbye to Su Zhengqing in a hurry on the pretext of something else.
Holding the steering wheel with cold hands, he drove the car distractedly and opened all the windows.
The fiery sunshine evaporated all the moisture on the ground. The air was filled with the smell of gasoline and heat, just like his mood at the moment.
