No sooner had Ye Misheng left than Wang Kunxiang added another bowl of rice to his plate, eating with gusto as if he hadn't been the one eating so cautiously just minutes before.
The awkward atmosphere gradually disappeared, and Zhou Zhou felt much more at ease. While Wang Kunxiang was unable to eat freely, Zhou Zhou was the opposite. Because of the two men's discomfort, he stuffed himself with food, trying to alleviate his own embarrassment.
It feels like being caught in the middle of a young couple having a cold war and arguing.
Holy crap!
This thought suddenly jolted Zhou Zhou awake; it was like a sudden awakening from a dream. Could it be...?
Wang Kunxiang works out, has a high metabolism, and eats as much as three ordinary people. As he shovels food into his mouth, he catches a strange look in the corner of his eye from his childhood friend across the table.
"Um, Kunxiang, what about you and Young Master Ye?" Now that no one else was around, Zhou Zhou cautiously probed the question, knowing it would be impolite. The other party had a girlfriend and was straight, so asking this would seem like he was judging him as gay.
"..." Upon hearing this, Wang Kunxiang stopped eating and put down his tools. His gaze towards Zhou Zhou was incredibly complex, his eyes flickering as if he was hesitating.
Zhou Zhou waited for his reply, and the two stared at each other for a long time before finally getting only one answer.
"Oh, don't ask now." Wang Kunxiang ran his hand through his hair, looking flustered. "It's nothing serious, I'll tell you later."
But you don't seem to be alright, so Zhou Zhou didn't continue. The other person had their own thoughts, and if they didn't want to talk about it now, they could only wait until the other person was willing to confide in them later.
"Come with me to my old house later." Zhou Zhou preferred to be with someone familiar with the original owner of the body, so that he could ask them about any parts of his memory that he was unsure about.
"Wait a bit?" Wang Kunxiang considered the afternoon's arrangements, which were nothing more than dealing with the mountain of documents in the office, and agreed without hesitation, "No problem."
After they finished eating, they went to pay the bill. Wang Kunxiang insisted on treating them to the meal, and Zhou Zhou couldn't refuse him. She took out her phone, then put it back, and said helplessly, "Then I'll treat you to drinks another day."
Wang Kunxiang had just taken out his card when he heard the word "drinking" and his expression changed drastically. He mumbled that he would think about it later.
The cashier handed over the receipt, and Wang Kunxiang took it, glanced at it habitually, and asked with a surprised look, "Why is it so little?"
"A gentleman just paid in advance." The rice was added later, so it wasn't included in the previous bill.
"Mind your own business!" Knowing who paid, Wang Kunxiang got into the car and said angrily. Zhou Zhou, sitting in the driver's seat, found it amusing to see him waving his fists around.
"I've already paid. If you feel bad about it, you can treat me to something next time," Zhou Zhou said casually, jokingly.
"Who invited him?!" Wang Kunxiang asked excitedly.
"Okay, okay, no need to invite me." Seeing that he was about to explode again, Zhou Zhou quickly said.
While the vehicle was in motion, Wang Kunxiang started talking about the past, and Zhou Zhou responded to him in a disjointed manner based on her memory.
As soon as the vehicle arrived at its destination, before Zhou Zhou's car had even come to a complete stop, Wang Kunxiang's phone rang.
"Mr. Wang, the company's first-choice partner for the project just contacted me and said they'd like to discuss the contract this afternoon." After hanging up the phone, Wang Kunxiang looked at Zhou Zhou with a troubled expression.
Seeing his expression, Zhou Zhou said helplessly, "What's troubling you? Can't you tell what's more important? Of course, your business is the priority." She then started the car. "How about I take you back to the company?"
"That would be great." Wang Kunxiang hates it when he promises something but then fails to keep it, especially since he had already made an agreement with the other party.
“Zhou, do you make a lot of money writing novels? Why don’t you come and work with me?” Wang Kunxiang explained the project to him in detail. The final valuation was that it would earn at least 100 million yuan. This was his first big project after returning to China.
Zhou Zhou had never dealt with such large numbers before, and upon hearing this, he smiled and said, "No need, my current job is quite good, I'm a freelancer."
After dropping off Wang Kunxiang and Zhou Zhou, he went back home. Just then, the editor called for him again, so he spent the rest of the afternoon in his bedroom. When Fu Hengzhi returned home and couldn't find him at the dining table, he stopped Aunt Feng and went up to call him himself.
"You're back~" Zhou Zhou said with a smile in her eyes, clearly in a good mood.
Fu Hengzhi had been dealing with affairs all day, and his fatigue gradually dissipated under the other person's smile. His eyes flickered as he thought of something, and suddenly he was no longer in a hurry to go downstairs. He closed the door to shut out the noise outside, went over and hugged Zhou Zhou, nuzzling his neck with his nose, smelling the familiar scent, and slowly whispering in his ear.
Zhou Zhou hugged the other person and could feel the weariness emanating from them.
You must be very tired.
Zhou Zhou looked distressed and raised his hand to comfort the other person, but before he could touch the other person's back, he heard a sound in his ear.
"Does what you said last night still stand?"

Chapter 74 You Don't Even Care About It That Isn't Yours
!
===========================================
Knowing what the other person was talking about, Zhou Zhou's hand froze as she raised it. She stammered for a long time, unable to answer. Looking at the closed bedroom door, her heart was pounding like a rhythm machine.
Seriously? This is way too fast! Give people some time to process things.
After the other person didn't respond for a while, Fu Hengzhi straightened up and looked into his eyes.
Zhou Zhou gazed into those eyes that were now enough to haunt his dreams; their depths seemed to draw him in.
"Hmm?" Fu Hengzhi asked softly, but he urgently needed a definite answer to come from the other party's mouth.
"Um, let's eat first." Zhou Zhou mumbled twice, pulled his arm away from the other person, and hurriedly walked around him towards the downstairs. Just as his hand touched the doorknob, he suddenly stopped. There was no movement behind him, so he turned around stealthily like a thief. Fu Hengzhi was still standing there looking at him, his head hanging down as if he had been wronged.
Fu Hengzhi observed the other person's every move. Seeing that he was being watched without saying a word, he sighed, took off his coat and casually draped it over the computer chair, then lay down on the bed.
Then came another long sigh.
"well--"
"..." Zhou Zhou was stunned. She walked to the bedside, squatted down, and looked at him. She hadn't rejected him, so what was he doing? "Go downstairs to eat. Why are you lying down?"
"Sigh, I have no appetite, I don't want to eat." Fu Hengzhi's tone was low, his eyes glancing at Zhou Zhou as he spoke, trying to appear weak, and he went straight to the point, "I have a lot of work during the day, but I don't feel tired at all, do you know why?"
"..." Zhou Zhou knew that they were both men, so how could he not know what the other was thinking?
Seeing the other man's resentful look, Zhou Zhou chuckled and reached out to help him up. "It's not dark outside yet, can we wait until tonight?"
When it comes to business partnerships, President Fu is decisive and uncompromising. But with his wife, he likes to add conditions, act a little temperamental like he's never used before, and get to the bottom of things.
"What time is it in the evening?" Fu Hengzhi glanced at his watch to confirm the time, and continued, "Eight o'clock? Nine o'clock? Or ten o'clock?"
"Hey?" Zhou Zhou was amused by his words and kissed him on the forehead, her cheeks slightly flushed. She whispered, "I'll come up and take a shower after dinner..."
Before he could finish speaking, Fu Hengzhi hurriedly got up, hugged him, and walked out, saying as they went, "Let's eat, you must be hungry."
His strength was terrifying, completely different from before. Time was precious; if the other person finished eating sooner, they could take a shower sooner, and if they showered sooner, the two of them could…
Fu Hengzhi stared at Zhou Zhou across the table, his expression as gentle as could be, as if the other person wasn't eating chicken wings but enjoying tea in a garden.
Aunt Feng came over to serve the two of them soup, and when she saw him like this, her hand trembled and she almost dropped the bowl on the ground. It was too abnormal. Looking at Zhou Zhou, he remained calm and shoveled rice into his mouth one bite at a time, while Fu Hengzhi kept peeling shrimp for him and putting them in his bowl.
Fu Hengzhi: "Eat more, you'll burn a lot of calories later."
Zhou Zhou's scalp tingled: "..."
After dinner, Zhou Zhou went to the bathroom to take a shower as she had instructed. Fu Hengzhi sat on the bed, listening to the sound of running water from the bathroom. He was restless. He opened and closed the drawer, placing the tools he had prepared earlier in the most conspicuous place on the bedside table. But that wasn't enough. As time passed, he couldn't suppress his impatience and had an urge to go into the bathroom together.
He could only think about it. Fu Hengzhi recalled how Zhou Zhou had warned him with a wary look on his face when he entered the bathroom a few minutes earlier.
"You're not allowed to come in while I'm taking a shower."
Since his wife had said so, President Fu knew that if he acted impulsively and went in for a bath with her, his good time tonight might be ruined.
Time passed second by second. Fu Hengzhi noticed that the other person had been inside for twenty minutes and still hadn't come out. Normally, taking a bath wouldn't take that long.
After thinking it over, Fu Hengzhi went over and knocked on the bathroom door.
"Ahem, are you still washing?"
A person's image was reflected on the frosted glass door of the bathroom, which startled Zhou Zhou. Although he had already locked the door, he felt that such a glass door could not withstand Fu Heng's kick.
"It'll be ready soon, don't rush." Zhou Zhou spoke quickly, her voice drowning out the sound of running water. "Why don't you go take a shower in the guest room first?"
The other person's voice sounded strange. Upon hearing this, Fu Hengzhi frowned slightly. His first reaction was to press his hand on the doorknob, but he suddenly stopped and released his hand just as he was about to apply force.
"I'll listen to you." Fu Hengzhi didn't touch the doorknob, but pressed his body against the crack in the door and said, "Don't shower for too long. Taking such a long shower in the summer is bad for your health."
"I know, I understand." Zhou Zhou stammered twice, and breathed a sigh of relief after hearing the footsteps outside gradually fade away and finally the sound of the bedroom door closing.
Looking at himself in the mirror, his eyes were glazed and his cheeks were flushed. Of course, taking a shower wouldn't make him look like this; he just wanted to prepare in advance.
Neither he nor Fu Hengzhi had any experience, so they did some research online. They learned that the first time someone does this, at least eight out of ten men will get injured to some extent. The remaining two are either exceptionally talented or their partners aren't good enough...
Zhou Zhou blushed. He and Fu Hengzhi had gone all the way and were just one step away from the final step. The other party was definitely enough.
But he may not be the one with the extraordinary talent.
Thinking about it carefully, if he, a grown man, were to injure himself and have to see a doctor because of something like this, where would he put his face? Fu Hengzhi would be embarrassed, but he certainly would be.
"Hmm!" Zhou Zhou was doing the preparations he had read online, but it was still a bit inconvenient to support himself on the sink with one hand and put the other behind his back, not to mention that the hand behind his back was...
They've lost all sense of shame!
Zhou Zhou blushed and cursed himself inwardly. The resistance from his hands was great, making him very uncomfortable, and he frowned.
"I can't take it anymore." Zhou Zhou muttered to himself. He washed his hands, using up several pumps of hand soap. After drying his hands, he put on his bathrobe and took a few steps. His awkward walking posture was not right.
It's over. Zhou Zhou was on the verge of tears. He really didn't have any special talents. He was definitely the most miserable one among those ten people.
Pushing open the bathroom door, Zhou Zhou's gaze was immediately drawn to Fu Hengzhi sitting on the edge of the bed. The other man was wearing a dark blue V-neck bathrobe, which couldn't hide his good figure but instead made him look indescribably sexy. Zhou Zhou only glanced at him, and he was practically bursting with rage.
"You washed pretty quickly." Zhou Zhou walked over at a snail's pace, intending to sit next to the other person, but Fu Hengzhi pulled him up and he ended up sitting on the other person's lap.
"!" Zhou Zhou almost jumped up, but managed to hold back.
Fu Hengzhi watched his every move, taking in the other's nervous and embarrassed appearance. He chuckled softly, buried his head in the other's neck, and smelled the fresh scent of the shower gel that carried the other's body heat. He tightened his grip on the other's waist.
"..." Zhou Zhou could already feel the other person's enthusiasm. Recalling his efforts in the bathroom just now, he thought that it was better to have a short pain than a long one, so he simply leaned to the side, lay on the bed, closed his eyes, and shouted.
"Come on!"
"......"
Not long after he said that, Zhou Zhou regretted it. Human joys and sorrows are not shared. They were both experiencing their first time, and both were drenched in sweat. Fu Hengzhi's excitement never subsided, and he kept calling her "baby" and "wife".
Zhou Zhou was easily swayed and was completely taken in by his flattery.
"Baby, lift your waist up a bit..."
"Wife, let's do it one more time..."
After celibacy for twenty-six years, Fu Hengzhi couldn't control himself once he tasted the sweetness. He watched Zhou Zhou, who was crying and crawling forward with her back to him, trying to break free of her restraints with both hands and feet. He grabbed her ankle and pulled her back.
"Fu Hengzhi!" Zhou Zhou returned to her starting point, reaching for the goose feather pillow on the bedside table. She turned and threw it at the other man's face, her eyes red and tear-streaked. She cursed him in a sobbing voice, "You don't even care about your own ass!"
The goose feather pillow was soft and harmless, but President Fu allowed it to be smashed like that.
I was even more excited.
[Author's note: Zhou Zhou is crying: You don't even care about me, sob sob sob.]
