Chapter Eighty-Six

Yi Yu suddenly wrapped his arms around You Hanzhe’s waist, pressing him down onto the long bench. With a wicked grin, he tapped You Hanzhe’s lips with his finger and murmured, “There’s a heavy price to pay for seducing me.”

A hint of embarrassment flickered in You Hanzhe’s eyes, clearly as surprised by his own actions as anyone else.

“Are you blushing?” Yi Yu lowered his head, his nose nearly brushing You Hanzhe’s face, grinning like a sly wolf. “Come on, admit it—are you embarrassed?”

You Hanzhe wiped all expression from his face, closed his eyes, and replied coolly, “Yes.”

Yi Yu burst out laughing, clutching his stomach until it hurt, and finally planted a kiss on You Hanzhe’s cheek. “If it weren’t for the setting, I’d definitely…” He left the rest unsaid, giving You Hanzhe’s waist a mischievous squeeze. “You know what I mean.”

When they went to the hot springs, Yi Xiaoyu ran into Yi Xiaoyu and You Yige at the front desk.

You Yige was holding onto Yi Xiaoyu’s arm, chatting and laughing with him. As the two approached the counter, a surprised voice called out behind them, “Brother, You, you’re here for the hot springs too?”

Yi Xiaoyu and You Yige turned at the same time.

Yi Yu still had one arm draped around You Hanzhe and waved with his other hand, completely ignoring the awkward stiffness that appeared on You Yige and Yi Xiaoyu’s faces as they noticed the person beside him.

Save for a fleeting look of surprise and sudden understanding, You Hanzhe’s face remained unchanged.

Yi Yu let go of You Hanzhe and quickly approached Yi Xiaoyu. “Brother, what a coincidence! Perfect, perfect. Let me introduce you to my boyfriend properly.”

At this moment, You Hanzhe had already come up behind Yi Yu. Yi Yu spun around, grabbed his arm, and pulled him forward. “Brother, this is my boyfriend, Hanzhe. Hanzhe, this is my big brother I told you about, and this is his partner, Brother You.”

Yi Xiaoyu’s lips twitched. “B-big brother…”

He had met You Hanzhe before in Bali, so he knew Hanzhe was You Yige’s biological older brother.

Now, realizing that this man was his younger brother’s boyfriend, Yi Xiaoyu felt utterly bewildered.

If it were just a matter of pairing this man with his little brother, he would have had no objections. You Yige’s elder brother, from temperament to appearance, was an entirely different breed. After chatting with You Hanzhe in Bali, Yi Xiaoyu had already sensed his remarkable charisma. He was steady, composed, and exuded the aura of a mature man. Having grown up in a powerful business family, his business acumen must far surpass that of You Yige.

A man like this was so perfect, you couldn’t find a single flaw.

Though, the chubby one did mention that his brother’s emotional intelligence was a bit lacking.

Come to think of it, if his EQ weren’t low, how would he have been so easily won over by that rascal Yi Yu?

You Hanzhe gave Yi Xiaoyu a slight nod and a calm “Mm.”

Yi Yu, caught in the middle, looked utterly baffled. “You know each other? Wait, why did you call Hanzhe ‘big brother’? Just being polite?”

“Big brother, we need to talk,” You Yige said, far less composed than his partner, and dragged You Hanzhe aside.

Watching the two head out the door, Yi Yu blinked a few times, realization dawning, then turned to stare at Yi Xiaoyu in astonishment. “No way… Hanzhe and You are brothers?”

Yi Xiaoyu pinched the bridge of his nose in exasperation. “Yes, and they’re biological brothers.”

“Damn! The world is way too small.”

“Small, my ass! You’re always landing me in these messes.”

“What’s the big deal?” Yi Yu had recovered from his shock, pouted, and said, “Isn’t it a good thing? Keeping it all in the family.”

“You’ve got some nerve. Now, when you two are together, how am I supposed to address You Yige’s brother? I call you ‘little brother’ and him ‘big brother’—what kind of mess is that?”

In his heart, Yi Xiaoyu could never put Yi Yu and You Hanzhe on the same level. He had genuine respect for You Hanzhe, while Yi Yu he simply regarded as a big kid.

Seeing these two together just felt off in every possible way.

Yi Xiaoyu truly couldn’t understand what it was about Yi Yu that attracted You Hanzhe. Sure, Yi Yu was good-looking, but a man of You Hanzhe’s status couldn’t possibly lack attractive people around him. Was it really like the chubby one said, that his brother had an IQ of two hundred and an emotional intelligence in the negatives?
