After his blunder in the handsome guy's comment section was exposed.

My gaze slowly slid up the group chat messages.

One after another, messages blatantly revealing that people were after his wife jumped into view.

Although I know that the people in the group are always outspoken and will make fun of anyone who goes public with their relationship.

But that won't work either.

Xi Chenzhou's expression grew increasingly grim as he looked at the chat, and he sent a message in the group chat:

Go to bed early, you'll dream about anything.

When he popped up, the group chat erupted in excitement once again.

Hey, whose vinegar jar spilled?

[Tsk tsk, Ah Zhou is here to assert its sovereignty!]

[Ah Zhou, don't mind me, I just want to help you check her out. Give me your sister-in-law's WeChat ID, and I'll try to find out more for you.]

Count me in! More people trying it out increases the accuracy.

What a load of rubbish.

Think beautifully.

Xi Chenzhou scoffed and typed: 【Engaged, do not disturb.】

[Holy crap, they're engaged? And they're only freshmen?!]

Isn't this progress a bit too fast?

[Brave, little brother, you dared to get engaged to your first love.]

[Remember the fastest online novel website: 121999.com]

……

Seeing the message pop up, Xi Chenzhou's lips curled slightly: [There's no point in explaining this to you people who keep canaries or play the role of stand-ins.]

Wei Ziheng: [You guys, just shut up. Ah Zhou emphasized to me twice today that she's his wife, not his girlfriend. He loves her so much.]

Yo yo yo yo...

Oh no, I've really fallen in love!

……

A bunch of people followed suit and started making a fuss.

It would have been better if Wei Ziheng hadn't spoken, because the moment he did, Xi Chenzhou was reminded of that little card again.

He slightly lifted his eyelids and glanced at the person opposite him. Lin Xuechun was looking down, holding a phone and typing animatedly, her little expressions incredibly lively.

And you could tell she was genuinely happy; the corners of her lips were constantly turned up, never drooping.

After replying to the message, she put down her phone and started playing with the card again.

Several small cards were laid out on the table one by one. I wet my fingers and applied water to them to examine my chest muscles.

Take off your clothes, then take off yours.

Have a great time.

Xi Chenzhou looked at the few bare-chested men, his face turning as black as the bottom of a pot.

He turned his gaze back to his phone and launched an attack on Wei Ziheng in the group chat:

【What kind of lousy merchandise is that? Take it down immediately.】

Wei Ziheng: [? ? ?]

[This merchandise is incredibly popular! Pre-orders have already exceeded 20 million yuan in sales, and it's still climbing rapidly. The factory is even preparing to place additional orders. Doesn't your wife like it?]

xcz: [I don't like it.]

Wei Ziheng: [That's impossible! She just said on WeChat that she really liked it.]

WeChat?

Xi Chenzhou glanced at the group he had created earlier; there wasn't a single message in the group.

He immediately realized that the two were chatting privately on WeChat.

xcz: [Stop harassing my wife.]

Wei Ziheng: [I'm innocent! We only chatted briefly about the merchandise. Your wife said she was amazed and loved it, and her friend loved it too.]

The group of people, always eager for drama, immediately sensed the juicy atmosphere—

[Oh my, Heng-ge is even chatting privately with someone's wife? Ah-zhou has no idea!]

Wow, Heng-ge is really shrewd. We're all just chatting here, and Heng-ge has already struck first.

[He verbally advised us to stop, but he actually added us on WeChat. Ah Zhou, do you see clearly now? Who is the person you should be most wary of?]

Wei Ziheng was terrified and sent a pleading emoji: "You guys are just stirring up trouble. If A-Zhou actually listens to this, I'll be the one who suffers. @xcz, don't listen to their nonsense."

Xi Chenzhou didn't reply, and the others in the group were afraid that the joke had gone too far.

They started making jokes and getting by.

The group chat gradually quieted down.

Xi Chenzhou locked his phone, and the dishes he had just ordered were being served one by one.

His dark gaze fell on the person opposite him, a bitter taste in his mouth: "Happy?"

"I'm so happy!"

Lin Xuechun didn't catch the implication in his words. Hearing the voice, she looked up, her eyes crinkling with a smile, and turned the two water-sensitivity cards in her hand to show him: "This is Bai Xiao, and this is Ling Yue. Zhou Xinran insists that Bai Xiao is more handsome than Ling Yue. What do you boys think?"

Xi Chenzhou glanced back and forth between the two cards, then coldly looked away: "Let's eat."

He did not answer the question.

Lin Xuechun's smile faltered for a moment. She sensed that he seemed a little uninterested, so she didn't continue the conversation and put the things away.

The dishes were served perfectly, and the waiter withdrew.

The two of them started eating.

The restaurant has an elegant atmosphere, with soft music playing from the ceiling speakers.

Throughout the entire meal, Xi Chenzhou remained unusually quiet, not uttering a single word.

Even the slow-witted Lin Xuechun sensed that something was wrong.

When the two of them ate together before, they would always exchange a few words.

It wouldn't be as silent as it is now.

Her hand holding the chopsticks paused for a moment, and she looked up at the person opposite her. Xi Chenzhou's features were already predominantly cold, and when he was expressionless, his face looked even more indifferent.

What's wrong with him?

Are you in a bad mood?

Could it be that she was so focused on her phone and playing with her peripherals that she neglected him, and that's why she's unhappy?

But when she was chatting with Zhou Xinran, she glanced at him out of the corner of her eye. He was looking at his phone at the time, seemingly replying to messages, so she didn't pay much attention to him.

Lin Xuechun lowered her eyelashes, picking at the rice in her bowl with her chopsticks, her small face filled with countless thoughts.

Just as I was wondering what was going on, my phone on the table suddenly vibrated.

She tilted her head to look, her fingers slicing open.

Wei Ziheng: [Is A-Zhou with you?]

Lin Xuechun glanced at Xi Chenzhou subconsciously, and Xi Chenzhou, who happened to sense it, also looked at her.

Their gazes met briefly in the air.

Lin Xuechun pursed her lips, wanting to say something but unsure what to say. She first lowered her head and replied to Wei Ziheng's message: 【Yes.】

Wei Ziheng: [What's his expression right now? Did he get angry about all the teasing and joking around in the group chat?]

angry?

So he was in a bad mood because of the group messages?

Lin Xuechun looked up at Xi Chenzhou again. Xi Chenzhou absentmindedly picked up a piece of vegetable and chewed on it, his eyes showing a hint of indifference.

Anyway, she doesn't look like she's in a good mood.

Lin Xuechun was wondering how to reply to Wei Ziheng.

Why don't we ask Xi Chenzhou first?

She bit her lip, conflicted, and was about to ask him when Xi Chenzhou spoke first, glancing at her phone and asking indifferently, "Who are you chatting with?"

Lin Xuechun answered truthfully: "Wei Ziheng."

Xi Chenzhou's eyes darkened slightly, and his fingers tightened around the chopsticks: "What are you talking about?"

"We didn't talk about much. He asked me how you were feeling. See for yourself." Lin Xuechun pushed her phone over; the screen was still showing her chat with Wei Ziheng.

Xi Chenzhou glanced down at him, said nothing, and pushed the phone back, "Ignore him."

Lin Xuechun hesitated for a moment: "Wouldn't it be impolite not to reply?"

Xi Chenzhou raised an eyebrow slightly: "You care a lot about his opinion?"

Lin Xuechun shook her head: "No, he specifically asked, it would be strange if I didn't answer."

"Then go back." Xi Chenzhou casually tossed out three words, picked up some food with his chopsticks, and continued eating.

Lin Xuechun picked up her phone and replied to Wei Ziheng's message: "He's not angry."

After replying, she looked at Xi Chenzhou and decided to ask, "...What were you guys talking about in the group chat just now?"

"We didn't talk about much." Xi Chenzhou put a piece of pork rib on her plate, not wanting to mention the group of men who coveted his wife. "Eat more."

He used the serving chopsticks to pick up a piece of fish, carefully removed the bones, and placed it on her plate: "The fish is good, you should try it."

Lin Xuechun took a bite and nodded, "Delicious!"

"Want more?"

"No need, you eat more." Lin Xuechun wasn't very hungry anymore. After replying to the message, she ate a few bites and then put down her chopsticks.
