Chapter 295: Xie Zheng's Sharp Eyes

Lu Ye opened all the doors and windows to let the smell dissipate.

He then expressed his gratitude to Ye Qingbai.

But inviting him for drinks tonight is unlikely.

"Xiaobai is coming to my house for dinner tonight, and Grandpa is visiting Dr. Zhou. What about you? Any plans?"

Hearing that he would be home alone that night, Ye Qingbai couldn't help but feel sad. "What can I do?"

Lu Ye generously invited, "Then let's have dinner at home."

Before Ye Qingbai could agree, Xie Zheng raised his hand, "I'll go too."

Lu Ye frowned, clearly annoyed by Xie Zheng's chatter. He politely declined, saying, "Go home and spend more time with the elderly."

"I'm going to visit Grandpa Lu. It's been a long time since I've been to your house."

Xie Zheng's mindset has changed, and his purpose in going to the Lu family is completely different from before.

In the past, when I went to the Lu family's house with my grandparents, he was always hostile and sarcastic.

Now that his relationship with Lu Ye has thawed, and Lu Ye's mother is his cousin, he is looking forward to visiting the Lu family.

Xie Zheng insisted on going, and Lu Ye couldn't refuse, so he had no choice but to speak up.

"Then you guys go home first, I'll go pick up Xiaobai."

Ye Qingbai said, "I'm going to pick up my cousin too."

Lu Ye was exasperated, but he patiently said, "You take Xie Zheng home on your motorcycle first."

With a third wheel in the car, how can he spend time alone with his wife and be affectionate?

These clueless single people.

Lu Ye's attitude left no room for argument, so Ye Qingbai had no choice but to agree, "Oh."

The thought of having dinner with the girl he liked that evening made him happy, and he even found Xie Zheng more agreeable.

"Thank you, big star. Remember to buy me something." Before getting into the car, Lu Ye said meaningfully, "Just something on par with what I bought for my grandfather."

Xie Zheng rolled his eyes upon hearing this and said, "Get lost."

Lu Ye drove away, and Ye Qingbai had no choice but to reluctantly ride his motorcycle with Xie Zheng to the Lu family home.

Upon reaching the bustling street, Xie Zheng's eyes flickered slightly as he asked Ye Qingbai, "Aren't you going to buy anything?"

"Of course I'll buy it!"

He certainly wouldn't go to Dr. Lu's house empty-handed.

Ye Qingbai parked his motorcycle in front of the department store.

They locked the car and went inside to shop.

Xie Zheng kept following Ye Qingbai around, which annoyed Ye Qingbai. "You buy your things, don't worry about me."

Xie Zheng touched his nose.

He does want to buy it.

But after visiting Doctor Ye's house, he was already strapped for cash.

Lu Ye asked him to buy gifts according to the standards given to Doctor Ye, but he couldn't do it!

He guessed that Ye Qingbai, being a soldier, didn't have much money and was used to being frugal, so he probably wouldn't be too extravagant.

Therefore, he planned to buy whatever Ye Qingbai bought.

This way, Ye Qingbai won't feel embarrassed or troubled.

However, just as he was thinking this, he saw Ye Qingbai's hand already reaching towards the high-end gift box section.

They grabbed all sorts of imported milk powder and health supplements.

Then, I stopped in front of the shelf displaying chocolates.

After hesitating for a moment, I still took two boxes of imported chocolates.

Xie Zheng's eyes flickered slightly, and he asked curiously, "Who did you buy this for?"

"What's it to you?" Ye Qingbai took the items and went to the counter to pay.

Knowing he couldn't compete, Xie Zheng took a bag of milk powder and a bag of malted milk powder and went to pay the bill as well.

I never brought anything when I visited the Lu family.

That jerk Lu Ye, he just had to pull this on someone.

When he mentioned it, Ye Qingbai felt embarrassed and had no choice but to come and buy things.

But this kid actually bought chocolate...

After paying the bill, as the two of them came out of the department store carrying their purchases, Xie Zheng couldn't help but ask the question that had been on his mind.

"Ye Qingbai, why did you buy chocolate when you went to someone's house for dinner?"

Ye Qingbai's handsome face showed panic, and he retorted awkwardly, "What's it to you?"

Xie Zheng narrowed his eyes slightly. His radical reaction suggested that the chocolate wasn't meant for Bai Zhi.

So he boldly guessed, "You won't like it..."

Upon hearing his words, Ye Qingbai was startled and flustered. Had Xie Zheng discovered his secret?

"You don't like Lu Ya, do you?"

Ye Qingbai, "!!!"

Xie Zheng said, "If you like her, I'm all for it. Go after her and show her what a normal, high-quality man is. That brat is driving me crazy."

Ye Qingbai's lips twitched slightly upon hearing his words.

He then realized who Lu Ya was.

Lu Ya's cousin.

A young delinquent dressed even more outrageously than Xie Zheng.

"Don't talk nonsense. I don't even know her, how could I possibly like her?"

Ye Qingbai gave Xie Zheng a warning look, "If you say another word, I'll beat you to a pulp."

Ye Qingbai tied his purchases to the back of the motorcycle, leaving Xie Zheng to carry his own things.

Anyway, it's not much.

Xie Zheng looked at Ye Qingbai, who was tying things up, and keenly noticed his dark red earlobes. He analyzed, "Something's not right with you."

He wasn't afraid of Ye Qingbai's threat at all. He stared intently at Ye Qingbai and concluded, "You've definitely fallen for someone."

"How do you know?" Ye Qingbai seemed intrigued, his eyes flickering as he wanted to hear Xie Zheng's explanation.

"Your enthusiastic attitude is not right." Xie Zheng's analysis was reasonable and well-founded. "You are Bai Zhi's brother from her maternal family. Do you need to buy so many expensive things when you go to the Lu family? You are obviously trying to show off. Based on what I know about you during this period, you soldiers are all proud and would never deliberately try to please the Lu family just because they are a high-class family."

"Therefore, there is only one reason."

Xie Zheng, like Sherlock Holmes, concluded, "There is someone you like in the Lu family."

Ye Qingbai, "!!!"

"You don't actually like my cousin Lu Shan, do you?"

Ye Qingbai, “........."

Seeing that Ye Qingbai did not refute, they did not beat him up.

Looking embarrassed that his secret had been exposed, Xie Zheng became even more certain of his guess. He stared at Ye Qingbai in astonishment to confirm, "My God, could I have guessed right?"

Xie Zheng, based on his own understanding, looked at him with a ghostly expression and said, "You're too scary."

"You actually like Lu Shan? You actually have a thing for that kind of person?"

Ye Qingbai calmed down and wanted to refute, but he felt that Xie Zheng's posture made it impossible for him to argue.

That kid has a sharp eye.

Ye Qingbai couldn't admit it, nor could he deny it, so he could only glare fiercely at Xie Zheng, looking embarrassed that his thoughts had been seen through.

Xie Zheng put his arm around Ye Qingbai's shoulder, looking at him with a sympathetic expression, and sighed, "However, brother, your love life is probably going to be a bit bumpy."

"Why do you say that?" Ye Qingbai, who hadn't yet admitted his feelings for Lu Shan, immediately became agitated upon hearing Xie Zheng's words.

Without thinking, Xie Zheng blurted out, "My cousin has a boyfriend."

"What?" Ye Qingbai exclaimed in surprise, his voice rising.

"However, it seems that he broke up with his partner."

Ye Qingbai breathed a barely perceptible sigh of relief.

"Do you truly love her?"

Xie Zheng looked at him with a smile, his face full of gossip.

"Can liking someone be fake?"

Since his thoughts had been seen through and there was no way to hide it, Ye Qingbai simply admitted it.

It's not like he's doing anything shameful that he likes such an outstanding person.

"Then I support you pursuing her."

Xie Zheng sighed again, "However, my cousin is a workaholic and probably has no plans to get married, so you still need to be mentally prepared."

Ye Qingbai felt quite melancholy because of Xie Zheng's words.

Without a word, he started the motorcycle and drove Xie Zheng to the Lu family home.

As the motorcycle reached the opposite side of the military compound and was about to turn, Xie Zheng, having seen something, suddenly shouted for Ye Qingbai to stop.
