Chapter 227: The Unspoken Love Affair

Chapter 227 - The unspoken love affair

Jiang Luo's expression finally changed for the better when he walked into the winery.

The interior of the winery is much more normally decorated than the outside, not much different from an estate in human society.

Red lanterns hung from trees along the roadside to guide them. Ge Zhu looked around and said to Lu Youyi, "This has a similar feel to the spa hotel you took us to then."

Both large, both luxurious, less like a place to eat and more like a holiday estate.

After walking through the small bridges, rocks and flowers, and following the red lanterns to the end, we arrived at the dining area. Jiang Luo pushed the door in first, and saw the evil spirit sitting at the table, fully clothed.

When he heard the footsteps, he looked up elegantly, his thin lips curled up in a perfect smile.

He was indeed meticulously dressed today, bringing out the full charm of his handsomeness. But that smile, however unpleasant it may seem, is simply unpleasant.

Jiang Luo is even more certain that the ghost palanquin that came to pick them up and the female ghost at the entrance of the winery were both deliberate attempts by this guy.

He didn't believe Chi You, as the head of a large family, didn't even know how to show off his wealth. It was obvious that during the half month he was travelling abroad, this guy was coming to one luxury hotel after another.

Shit.

Not a human being.

Jiang Luo pulled up a fake smile, "Yo, Mr. Chi, you're early."

The tone of his voice was so sinister.

Chi You smiled at him and patted the chair beside him.

In front of his friends, the appearance of a harmonious couple needs to be maintained. Jiang Luo rolled his eyes at Chi You and went to sit beside him. Once everyone was seated, the food was served by one of the beautiful female ghosts.

Jiang Luo looked at each dish, but luckily, the food and wine were normal. The food was still steaming and the smell of it told me it tasted good.

The wine was a big surprise, it tasted so good that you could swallow your tongue, it should be a century old wine. Jiang Luo, a bad drinker, couldn't resist having a few more glasses.

The meal was Jiang Luo and Chi You's breakaway meal, and it was logical that the two parties would be teased frequently at the table. But when the others took a glance at the elegant manner in which the evil spirits were eating, they were unable to make any jokes and became dumbfounded.

But as they slowly ate and drank, they relaxed and the joking and laughing at the table resumed.

But they are still too scared to joke about Chi You.

Occasionally, in retrospect, they can't even recall the character of Chi You when they were human.

Chi You seemed like a gentle person when you were working for them as a teaching assistant.

Seemed like you liked to help people?

But now put those two words to Chi You and they just feel weirdly twisted.

Jiang Luo ate his meal slowly and deliberately, occasionally talking to Wen Renlian beside him, ignoring Chi You the whole time. Not wanting to be left alone, the evil ghost picked up a napkin and wiped his lips, pouring Jiang Luo a glass of wine, "Shall we have a drink?"

Jiang Luo turned back to him and clinked his glass, "What's your reason for toasting?"

"To the meeting tonight." The evil spirit said.

Jiang Luo smiled, drained his wine and toasted back with a backhand, "Then I toast the surprise you gave me tonight."

The evil spirit finished his drink and mused for a moment, "Angry?"

"Why," Jiang Luo smiled gently, "I enjoyed the surprise you gave me, how could I be angry with you?"

He smiled slyly towards the evil spirit with a charming smile, but the evil spirit always felt that he was up to no good.

Jiang Luo took one look at Chi You and knew what he was thinking when he suddenly said to him, "I want some hot water."

Chi You snapped his fingers and was about to call for someone to come, but his badly served lover said, "You go and get it for me."

The whole table fell silent. Everyone ate their mouthfuls of rice while cautiously glancing over with their eyes to peek.

Chi You sat motionless in his seat for three seconds before finally getting up and walking out the door at an unhurried pace in full view of everyone to fetch hot water for Jiang Luo.

It would have been humiliating for an ordinary man to be ordered around by his subject in public, but the evil spirit was instructed by Jiang Luo to move.

Someone drew a backwards breath: "Hiss ......"

I didn't realise Chi You was an object of pain.

Chi You soon returned and he had just put the hot water down when Jiang Luo reached for the kettle when his fingertips were scalded and quickly retracted.

With a silent sigh, the evil spirit picked up the water and poured him a glass, mixing in some cool water to make it just the right temperature for his mouth.

Jiang Luo smiled at him, "Thanks."

He lifted his glass to take a sip of water, but when he put it down, he accidentally knocked his chopsticks to the ground again.

Jiang Luo looks down at the chopsticks and innocently looks back at Chi You: "......"

His eyes were pitiful, but he didn't bend down to pick up the chopsticks. Chi You laughed coldly, "Say, what else do you want me to do, I'll do it all for you in one go."

Jiang Luo blinked and continued to watch him.

The curve of the evil spirit's mouth grew wider and more eerie and frightening, and as the others dared not breathe, he jerked to his feet and walked out again.

Wen Renlian thought he was impatient to leave and when Chi You's back disappeared, he said hesitantly, " Jiang Luo, isn't it a good idea for you to keep putting him on the spot like this?"

Jiang Luo shook his head and couldn't help but smile, "No, Wen Ren, you don't know, he actually likes it when I do that."

Do you really think Jiang Luo can't see Chi You's hidden depths of enjoyment?

The evil spirit takes care of all his personal belongings, loving the way Jiang Luo relies on him and goes to him when there is trouble. Jiang Luo is happy to oblige Chi You with this little pleasure that no one has noticed, as if Chi You would also oblige him with all his demands in an irritable, even cold and violent way.

It was a secret love affair between the two of them.

In no time at all, Chi You returned with a brand new pair of chopsticks and placed them in front of Jiang Luo.

Jiang Luo hooked his finger, "Thank you, Mr. Chi."

Chi You sat down again, slightly impatiently.

Wen Renlian watched their interaction, the corners of his eyes twitching a little, suddenly feeling unable to say anything.

The wine smelled good and had a strong aftertaste, making the unsuspecting crowd feel drunk. As they drank more, they became more careless with their words and started to play fisticuffs, punishing themselves with a drink if they lost.

Ye Xun and Lu Youyi staggered next to Jiang Luo, both of them burping, Lu Youyi's tongue was hanging out, "Chi You ...... do you remember when you liked Jiang Luo? "

Jiang Luo stiffens imperceptibly, and Yu Guang sweeps over the evil spirit, signalling him to answer properly.

Chi You laughed lightly and leaned back in his chair, his long arms crossed in front of him, looking at Jiang Luo teasingly, "Yes, when did I fall in love with you?"

"Was it before I died, or after I died?"

Ye Xun subconsciously reminded, "It was before you died."

"Yes, before I died," Chi You mused with a mock frown, "Oh, I remember. It seems I fell in love with Jiang Luo when I was your teaching assistant."

"After all, I'd already had a crush on him."

Jiang Luo gave him an appreciative look.

Nice, rounded up his lies.

Ye Xun and Lu Youyi let out a united 'wow', as if satisfied with Chi You's answer. Ye Xun was so drunk that his face was red, but after hearing the gossip, his eyes lit up and he continued to ask with a slurred voice, "We didn't see it. Jiang Luo would, scold you every day, you ...... Why do you like Jiang Luo?"

Chi You said, "All the reasons I like him are because he's such a good talker."

The two men, already too drunk to hear the depth of his words, were still talking about their shock at learning that Chi You was with Jiang Luo. Lu Youyi abruptly slapped the table, " Chi You, I used to, especially, hiccup, especially admire you. You must be good to Jiang Luo, don't bully him!"

Without waiting for Chi You to answer, Lu Youyi falls to the ground drunk. Ye Xun followed him to the ground, and the two of them huddled together and fell asleep.

"Hahahahaha, Lu Youyi and Ye Xun are actually drunk," said someone with a big tongue, "I'm also a bit drunk ...... I tell you, it's good that Chi You is not here today. Wen Ren told me that there were a lot of people harassing Jiang Luo when they were interviewing people today ...... If Chi You knew about this, it would have been a disaster."

Jiang Luo turned to Chi You and said, "You don't know yet, but I've had a lot of bad luck today. They are all touching my hand and slipping me little notes, it's killing me."

Chi You sunk his eyes, "Who is it?"

Jiang Luo, watching his acting skills, was not surprised when he said five or six names in a row and looked at Chi You expectantly.

"Can you tell them to stay out of my face from now on?"

Don't you fucking come back and pretend to be an interviewer.

The evil ghost smiled, lovingly stroking Jiang Luo's hair, his eyes seeping, "Of course they won't appear in front of you again."

Jiang Luo rolled his eyes and said, "You're a good actor.

If he hadn't known that those people were Chi You himself, he would have believed that Chi You had nothing to do with them.

When the group finished eating, all of them were drunk except Jiang Luo and Chi You. Chi You had them sent to their room at the winery and went to their room alongside Jiang Luo.

Jiang Luo said, "You own this winery?"

The evil spirit nodded, "Like it?"

"It's too dark to see anything to say whether I like it or not," Jiang Luo snorted, "but I do like the fact that you let the Flower Beaver come to pick up our ghost palanquin."

The evil spirit said nicely, "Then it's yours."

Jiang Luo said, "Get the fuck out of here."

When he returned to his room, Jiang Luo was shocked. The bedroom was filled with a room full of mirrors.

In an instant he realised the purpose of the mirrors and Jiang Luo walked in as if nothing had happened, pointing at the mirrors on the two walls at the end of the bed and pretending to be dumb: "What does this mean?"

Chi You was meaningful, "You'll find out later."

The grass is greener.

Jiang Luo thinks that Chi You is going to make a big deal tonight.

But why did a guy who didn't even understand what desire was before suddenly become so good at it?

Jiang Luo's mind is in doubt as he walks unchanged to his wardrobe and looks for a change of clothes.

"I'm going to take a shower, if you're sleepy, then go to bed first."

That was a nonsense statement from him, how could Chi You possibly go to bed first when he had purposely made the room look like this?

Surprisingly, there are no Jiang Luo's clothes in the wardrobe.

How is this possible? You know that wherever he goes, Chi You, the controlling pervert, prepares everything for Jiang Luo from the inside out, down to his underwear and socks and up to his jacket and scarf.

Unless ...... this was done on purpose.

Jiang Luo tsked mentally as his fingers skimmed over the few pieces of Chi You clothing available, finally stopping at a black shirt.

Okay, okay.

He'll play along with Chi You.
