When Li Ying saw him, obvious surprise flashed across his face, and then the corners of his eyes slightly curved, revealing some obvious pleasure.

“How did you come here?” He opened the door and said.

“I just had dinner at my sister’s place, and she said that you live here, and I came to meet you.” Jiang Yu explained.

Both Li Ying and Jiang Meng lived in one-bedroom apartments with similar layouts. Jiang Yu put on his slippers and walked in. As usual, he wandered around the living room first.

The balcony door was ajar, and the evening spring breeze slowly came in. There were a few cigarette butts left in the ashtray on the coffee table, and there was still a faint smell of tobacco in the living room.

Just as Jiang Yu glanced at it, he saw Li Ying walking over to empty the ashtray, then walking to the balcony and opening the glass door.

“Is the smell of cigarettes heavy?” Li Ying asked.

“It’s okay.” Jiang Yu replied.

He was not too sensitive to the smell of cigarettes, but Li Ying’s addiction to cigarettes seemed to be quite heavy, and those cigarette butts looked like they had just been smoked.

Jiang Yu sat on the sofa, chatting casually: “Are you a heavy smoker?”

“I’m not.” Li Ying rinsed the ashtray on the balcony, walked in, and put it on the compartment of the coffee table.

After a short pause, he explained, “I usually don’t smoke much.”

Jiang Yu raised his eyes to look at him and raised his eyebrows slightly, with an expression of “take a look and see if I believe in your words.”

Li Ying smiled when he saw this and then walked to the refrigerator, brushing his wet hair while walking: “It’s not much; I don’t have much addiction; it’s just that I have been smoking more recently.”

He took a bottle of pure water and handed it to Jiang Yu, saying, “It’s not difficult to quit.”

Jiang Yu took the water, nodded, suddenly thought of something, raised his head slightly, and looked at Li Ying: “Actually, you look handsome when you smoke.”

Then he smiled again: “Probably because you’re already handsome; anyway, when I see my other classmates smoking, I don’t think they look handsome.”

He had heard many compliments from Jiang Yu, but it was rare for Li Ying to hear his tone of sincerity. Hearing this, he couldn’t help but smile; his chest trembled slightly, and the corners of his mouth curled up in a pleasant arc.

He had been in a dull mood all afternoon, as if, with his arrival, he was so easily coaxed, even though the other party didn’t mean to.

It was also the first time for Li Ying to experience that he was a person who could be coaxed so easily.

As long as that person was Jiang Yu.

Jiang Yu took two sips of water to moisten his throat. As a friend, he asked with concern, “Why have you been smoking so much recently? Are you under a lot of pressure to do projects?”

“It’s alright.” Li Ying sat down beside him and picked up the half-drunk water bottle on the table, but he didn’t drink it; he just held it in his hand. “It has nothing to do with the project.”

Hearing this, Jiang Yu smiled heartlessly and said, “It turns out that a male god of your level also has troubles.”

He always seemed to think he could do anything.

Li Ying glanced over and asked, “Why can’t I have trouble?”

Jiang Yu raised his eyebrows slightly and deliberately asked, “…Do you just want to hear me praise you?”

Li Yingwen smiled and said, “No.”

“It’s okay.” Jiang Yu said generously, “It’s not impossible for me to compliment you.”

Li Ying’s eyebrows moved slightly, waiting for his follow-up with great interest.

“Courtesy is reciprocal; then you will have to praise me later.” Jiang Yu’s final voice hooked slightly, and it sounded a bit embarrassed. After a pause, he added, “But, to be honest, I don’t listen to it.”

Li Ying bent his lips and smiled, then seemed to think for a while before saying, “Ok.”

So Jiang Yu started counting with him one by one: “Look, you are handsome; you are recognised as a male god by the university, right?”

Speaking of this, Jiang Yu glanced up and down at him and said, “You’re also tall, taller than me.”

“It is said that your family is rich; you have all three things—tall, rich, and handsome. My sister used to be crazy about you every day, saying that you are a college male god and boasting that you are omnipotent.” Jiang Yu said, “Look, you have the fame and wealth that normal people pursue all their lives, and you have a peerless handsome face as icing on the cake. You say you still have something to be satisfied with?”

“Huh?” Jiang Yu deliberately raised his chin towards him.

“Hearing you say that, it seems really satisfying.” Li Ying spoke slowly, with a smile on his face.

“That’s right.” Jiang Yu said, “Leave the troubles of the world to those ordinary people. A male god like you should be superior to enjoy happiness.”

Li Ying was also happy to hear this and suddenly wanted to sing against him. He raised his eyelids and looked at Jiang Yu: “Then what if I want to feel both the joys and troubles of this world?”

“What other worldly happiness do you have that you can’t experience?” Jiang Yu asked back, “Let’s talk about it; I’ll help you satisfy it.”

Hearing this, Li Ying paused slightly; his eyes fell on the coffee table, and the mineral water bottle made a “click, click” sound in his hand.

“For example,” he said slowly, “I’ve never experienced the joys and troubles of falling in love before.”

This time Jiang Yu finally understood; after a long time, he was still thinking about that female classmate who he couldn’t get.

Jiang Yu glanced at him, lazily leaned back on the sofa, and played with the water bottle in his hand: “I really can’t help you with this.”

After a slight pause, he said, “My sister also said that the more handsome the boys, the more philandering they are. I think you are very specific. No, you are very specific.”

Li Ying was silent for two seconds, then turned his head to look at him and said, “What about you?”

“Me what?” Jiang Yu paused, leaned his head against the back of the sofa, and turned his head.

“Are you dedicated?” Li Ying asked.

Jiang Yu hesitated slightly and looked at each other for two seconds, then he looked away and looked at the halo spreading above his head.

After a while, Jiang Yu said, “My friends say I’m a bit of a natural slag, but I don’t think so.”

After a short pause, he smiled and said, “Actually, I don’t know either; I have never been in a relationship. When I was in my first year of high school, there were several classmates around me who were in puppy love. I was also very curious and wanted to try it. As a result, Jiang Meng reported me to our parents before I could write my horoscope. My parents said that if I dared to fall in love before college, they would not recognise me, would not give me money, and would let me eat steamed buns and pickles at school every day.”

“I had no way, so I gave in.” Speaking of which, Jiang Yu himself laughed first.

Li Ying also laughed and, after a while, asked again, “What about the university?”

Jiang Yu pondered for a while, “Maybe I haven’t met someone I really like?” He shrugged and said, “I don’t know; I’ll tell you when I meet in the future.”

As he spoke, he added a nice sentence to the two brothers: “Don’t worry, I will definitely be the first to tell you when the time comes.”

Li Ying looked at him for two seconds, then turned his eyes slightly away and said in a calm tone, “Forget it; I don’t want to know.”

These words were a bit inhuman; since Jiang Yu got along with Li Ying, this was the first time he heard him say such slightly distant words to him.

Jiang Yu couldn’t help turning his head to glance at him. Li Ying half-closed his eyelids; his eyes didn’t know where to fall.

He didn’t look very interested.

Could it be that he was thinking about the female classmate who he could never forget? What’s so good about it? Jiang Yu couldn’t help cursing.

After a while, Jiang Yu turned to look at Li Ying, intending to make him happy: “Let me tell you, every girl I see now has Jiang Meng’s shadow on her body.”

As expected, Li Ying was distracted a little by him and said with a smile, “Is she really very cruel to you? I usually don’t see it.”

Speaking of this, Jiang Yu got excited; he sat up from the sofa at once, and he moved closer to Li Ying: “Jiang Meng is the most unreasonable person I have ever seen in this world.”

In the next few minutes, Jiang Yu talked about his experience of being squeezed by Jiang Meng when he was a child.

Because Jiang Meng was a girl, she studied better than him and was usually sweeter than him, so the two of them quarrelled since they were young, and their parents basically helped Jiang Meng.

It sounded like trivial things; even from Jiang Yu’s mouth, it was quite interesting.

Under his narration, Li Ying seemed to be able to see the vivid scenes, seeing the cute little Jiang Yu when he was a child, who was bullied by his sister, who gritted his teeth and resisted but couldn’t beat her. Seeing that the siblings made mistakes, they blamed each other and covered up for each other…

……

The time at night always flies by quickly. Not long after, as the night gradually deepened, Jiang Yu glanced at the clock. It was already 10 o’clock; it was almost time for him to say goodbye.

He was a little thirsty, so he drank the last few sips of water in the bottle and threw the empty bottle into the trash can on Li Ying’s side.

Then he suddenly thought of something and patted Li Ying, who was beside him: “Hey, you haven’t praised me yet; don’t play tricks.”

He was still thinking about it.

Li Ying raised the corners of his mouth slightly, thought for a few seconds, looked at him sideways, and said cooperatively, “You are very good-looking.”

Jiang Yu immediately interrupted him: “You need to use the ‘handsome’ word.”

“Ok.” Li Ying smiled, his eyes sparkling under the light. “You are very handsome; your height is just right, and you have a good personality. You are very popular with your classmates and friends… and you are also very likeable. You’re very good at playing and cooperating, very good at darts and shooting guns, also good at online games, and often bring classmates…”

Jiang Yu burst out laughing directly, and he waved his hands as if he couldn’t bear it: “Okay, okay, stop talking; if you continue to boast, I won’t be able to stand it myself.”

I guess no one has ever heard such a compliment, Jiang Yu kept laughing.

Li Ying looked at him, and under the bright light, the mole on Jiang Yu’s curved lips became a bit conspicuous.

The author has something to say:

Li Ying: This pleases me very much.

vv: sorry for the late and only single chapter update; I had some important things to do today.
