Chapter 6 (FHAEYU)

Chapter 6: I’m doing it for you(for your own good)

“Ye Kaicheng, I tell you, put away your trickeries from me. I’ll be keeping an eye on you this evening. If you dare to do anything rude to my sister, then see how I deal with you!” Holding a knife and fork in one hand and pointing towards Ye Kaicheng, Xu Zuoyan warned fiercely.

Ye Kaicheng looked at the knife and fork which was less than five centimeters away from him, and drew back slightly.

“Xu Zuoyan!” Ye Kaicheng didn’t reply. But Xu Shiyun, who was sitting opposite, became angry. Gritting her teeth, she glared at her embarrassing brother.

“Sister, I’m doing it for you.” As soon as Xu Zuoyan heard Xu Shiyun’s voice, he knew that he had made her sister angry and shrunk his neck, turned his head and said to Xu Shiyun with an aggrieved face.

“Don’t give me that…” Xu Shiyun almost broke out into swearing but stopped herself timely. Glaring at Xu Zuoyan she angrily continued: “If you dare to be rude to Kai again, you’ll be staying out in a hotel for today!”

Xu Zuoyan’s brows moved a little before he reluctantly agreed. Today’s Xu Shiyun’s birthday, he still wanted to spend it with her.

He secretly threw a glance at Ye Kaicheng who seemed not affected at all, which made Xu Zuoyan not help but grind his teeth, but he did not dare to make more trouble again.

The birthday party was held by the pool in the back garden. All the young people came. A group of beautiful men and women made the atmosphere lively. The elders of the Xu family didn’t participate and were in the kitchen only responsible for tonight’s meal while Xu Zuoyan was there to help run errands.

Mother Xu was a celebrity chef. Although she has retired from the main post but she hasn’t lost her skill at all. To think she used this skill to win the simple and slow-witted but unexpectedly attractive father Xu. And Xu’s father was a painter. Xu Shiyun inherited his talents. At a young age, she became a new generation of famous painters. But Xu Zuoyan has broken this chain(trend). He’s been an energetic and restless boy since childhood. And even up till now, he was still a restless person who couldn’t sit still. Come to think of it, he probably chose the journalist industry from this point of view.

When the banquet began, the two elders went out to say hello to everyone. But after blowing the candles with Xu Shiyun, they retreated, not wanting to hinder younger generations’ fun.

The melodious music sounded. Ye Kaicheng and Xu Shiyun, who were in the middle of the room, led the first dance surrounded by everyone. Ye Kaicheng, who danced elegantly had a corner of his mouth lifted in a faint smile, looking like a noble prince. The beautiful Xu Shiyun was also not inferior and moved gracefully, looking particularly attractive.

In the eyes of everyone, they looked like a golden couple*. Everyone couldn’t help but sigh secretly that they were a perfect match. Even Xu Zuoyan, who always had a lot of opinions about Ye Kaicheng and had a serious sister-complex, felt that they were a good match at this moment.

(Golden couple: (of a couple who are in the public eye) a lovely young couple)

Xu Zuoyan, who wanted to fight with Ye Kaicheng to dance with Xu Shiyun was instantly defeated when Xu Shiyun didn’t want to. He sullenly sat in the corner looking at his dearest sister and hateful Ye Kaicheng dancing together while he himself ate some cake to vent his anger. For Xu Zuoyan who always liked sweets, it was rare for him to not enjoy them or dislike them. It was all because of his emotions and the culprit was Ye Kaicheng. All his fault!

“Why are you sitting here all alone?” Just when Xu ZuoYan was full of grievances, a slender and graceful figure appeared in front of him.

Xu Zuoyan looked up and saw that it was Chu Yixin, a girl who his sister had introduced to him moments ago. She looked like a very gentle, soft and intellectual beauty.

“Ah…” Xu Zuoyan, who didn’t know how to respond for a moment, looked down at his hand only to find gnawed-out of-shape-cake, and let out an embarrassed ‘eh’.

“You don’t seem to have a dancing partner, do you?” Chu Yixin looked at Xu Zuoyan who looked like a big shy boy and couldn’t help but smile gently as she inquired.

“Yeah.” Xu Zuoyan nodded honestly.

“I don’t have a partner either. So, may I have a dance with you?” Chu Yixin invited as her face blushed slightly, feeling a bit embarrassed.

“Ah? I-I don’t know how to dance.” Xu Zuoyan was a little stunned then he touched his nose in embarrassment. This wasn’t the first time a girl asked him but he was still not used to it.

“It’s okay. I can teach you.” Chu Yixin said with a smile, but then she saw Xu Zuoyan’s troubled face and her smile faltered a little. “Or is it that you want to dance with me?”

“No, No.” Xu Zuoyan repeatedly shook his head and frowned, thinking about it. Let’s just take it as a study. Anyway, from today onwards, he has to learn well so as not to be taken advantage of by Ye Kaicheng for this reason next time.

“You can’t be angry if I step on you in my carelessness.” Xu Zuoyan put the cake on the table and held out his hand to Chu Yixin.

“En. “Chu Yixin was obviously happy. She held Xu Zuoyan’s hand, blushing a little, and walked towards the middle of the room.

Worried that he’d really step on Chu Yixin’s feet, Xu Zuoyan carefully looked down at her feet while he listened to Chu Yixin’s dancing instructions.

“Can I call you Zuo Yan? “After a while, Chu Yixin suddenly asked.

“Ah? Oh, yes. ” Xu Zuoyan nodded.

“Then that’s what I’ll call you from now on.” Chu Yixin said with joy: “In fact, we have met before, I still remember you, but you seem to have forgotten me.”

“Oh?” Xu Zuoyan raised his head and looked doubtfully at Chu Yixin. But he couldn’t remember when they had met.

“We were in the same class in the high school and I sat next to you, but I changed schools soon after, so you don’t remember.” Seeing that Xu Zuoyan didn’t remember, Chu Yixin felt a bit disappointed and explained.

“So, it’s like that. I’m sorry. I’ve never had a very good memory.” Xu Zuoyan said apologetically.

“It doesn’t matter. After all, I’ve changed a lot. You, too, have become more handsome. ” Chu Yixin smiled.

“Oh really? My sister has always said that I have been the same, and haven’t grown up.” Suddenly being praised, Xu Zuoyan embarrassedly turned his head a little and said with the smile.

After a moment, his eyes caught two people standing at the side. Ye Kaicheng and Xu Shiyun, who have finished dancing, were standing aside and watching him and Chu Yixin.

Seeing Xu Zuoyan looking at them, Xu Shiyun raised her brows with a smile, while Ye Kaicheng’s faint smile didn’t really look like a smile; his eyes had an inexplicable expression.
