Chapter Thirty-Six

As dusk settled, Yi Xiaoyu wanted to see a movie. Just as he was about to take Boss You to the cinema, Boss You, with a mysterious air, suddenly pulled two tickets from his pocket and waved them in front of Yi Xiaoyu’s eyes.

When Yi Xiaoyu saw what those tickets were, he was overjoyed. He punched Boss You lightly on the shoulder and exclaimed, “You’re something else, Fatty! These tickets sold out days ago, and you actually managed to get them.”

Boss You felt a tingling in his heart from that punch. Seeing the happiness in Yi Xiaoyu’s eyes, his whole body felt warm, as if he were soaking in a hot spring. “Let’s go, Xiaoyu. The show starts in half an hour.”

“Mm.” Yi Xiaoyu reached out and hooked his arm around Boss You’s, his gaze still fixed on the tickets in his hand.

Usually, when they went out, Boss You would cling to Yi Xiaoyu’s arm like a loyal dog. But this time, it was reversed, and Yi Xiaoyu took the initiative. In that instant, Boss You felt as if his heart had melted into honey. His chest puffed up unconsciously, a smile curled at his lips, and he felt as though he were taking a unique partner to a lavish ball.

“These seats are pretty good, too.” Yi Xiaoyu nudged Boss You with his elbow and whispered, “Fatty, be honest with me—where did you get these tickets?”

“Uh…do you like them?” Boss You didn’t want to tell the truth, nor did he dare lie.

“Of course.”

“I’m glad you do.” Boss You replied seriously, “Where I got them isn’t important.”

Yi Xiaoyu laughed. “Alright, I won’t ask.”

They arrived at the theater, and less than five minutes after taking their seats, Boss You suddenly felt the urge to use the bathroom. Yi Xiaoyu told him to hurry back.

After using the restroom and heading back, Boss You ran into the person he dreaded most—his elder brother.

Seeing his younger brother so suddenly, You Hanzhe didn’t seem surprised. He walked straight up to Boss You.

Boss You forced a smile onto his face and waved at his brother. “What a coincidence.” After saying this, he tried to walk past You Hanzhe.

You Hanzhe stood his ground, his expression stony as ever. “Do you believe I could have tonight’s concert canceled?”

Two seconds later, Boss You returned to stand before You Hanzhe, his face fallen. “My partner’s waiting for me. Let’s make this quick—what do you want?”

You Hanzhe looked at his brother. “After the concert ends, I want to meet your partner.”

“No way. That’s non-negotiable.”

“You’ll have to introduce him to me and Father eventually. He’s part of the You family now.”

“He’s my partner. I’m the one taking care of him, not you or Father.”

Expressionless, You Hanzhe asked, “Give me your reason.”

Boss You coughed. “I told my partner that you and Father were dead.”

“Hmm.” You Hanzhe was unfazed. “And then?”

Boss You grew impatient. “What do you mean ‘and then’? In Xiaoyu’s eyes, I’m an orphan. If a brother and father suddenly turn up, doesn’t that mean I’ve been lying to him for two years?”

You Hanzhe pondered for a moment, about to speak, but Boss You suddenly threw an arm around his shoulder and asked mysteriously, “Big brother, has Father introduced you to any girlfriends? How did it turn out?”

You Hanzhe answered without hesitation, “He did.” He paused, then added coolly, “Nothing came of it.”

“Do you know why?” Boss You’s voice dropped conspiratorially. “Have you ever thought about why, at thirty-something, you’ve never even had a single romance?”

“Never thought about it.”

Boss You patted his brother’s shoulder. “I know why—it’s because you like men.”

Boss You’s face remained just as expressionless; he stared at Boss You. “Go on.”

“You get your driver to take you to a gay bar, and I’ll have Xiao Zhou arrange a pretty boy for you. Don’t overthink it—just take him to a hotel. If you don’t know what to do, take two pills first and let your body’s instincts guide you. Trust me, if you follow my advice, you’ll have the night of your life. Afterwards, you’ll fall in love with every man you meet.”

Without even realizing it, Boss You had his arm around You Hanzhe’s shoulder, walking him out of the theater and directly to the car.

“Take my big brother to the gay bar,” Boss You told the driver. “I’ll call ahead and have someone waiting for you at the door.”

Then he shook his brother’s shoulder and chuckled quietly, “It really is amazing.”

You Hanzhe’s expression shifted, but he quickly hid it, ducking into the car without much expression on his face.

Boss You smiled and waved at the car as it drove away.

When it came to You Hanzhe’s most indifferent feelings, Boss You always guessed right. You Hanzhe had seen everything since childhood, so he could always let reason rule over emotion. In terms of intelligence and cunning, You Hanzhe was a formidable opponent, but when it came to matters of the heart, he didn’t even possess basic bodily desire.

For all those women who threw themselves at him, You Hanzhe had just one thought: Maybe I should go for artificial insemination instead.
