I was chased by my sickly junior brother who had two lives
Chapter 8: Jealousy
The gentle moonlight shone on Chen Jue's rosy face, making him look even more handsome. To be honest, Wei Lang was the handsomeness of an adult man, which was a kind of masculine beauty belonging to men, while Chen Jue had not yet grown up, and at this moment he had the handsomeness that only teenagers have, which was a kind of cheerful beauty of a big boy.
Chen Jue sat between Chen Jia and Wei Lang. He faced Wei Lang and burped. Wei Lang frowned slightly but maintained a polite smile.
Chen Jue casually picked up the lotus pod on the table, peeled a lotus seed and put it in his mouth, then said drunkenly, "Master Wei, do you like the wine tonight?"
Wei Lang smiled and nodded, "Very good."
Chen Jue pouted and looked at Chen Jia with an aggrieved look, "Sister, Lord Wei is so distant from me and refuses to tell the truth."
Wei Lang tightened his grip on the lotus root. He looked at Chen Jue's profile. At this moment, Chen Jue looked like a three-month-old furry little Samoyed, wagging its tail and acting coquettishly with its owner.
Chen Jue, with his red lips and white teeth, has the childishness unique to teenagers. His innocent and straightforward appearance makes people feel pity for him.
Chen Jia poked Chen Jue's head with a smile, "Why did you leave Prime Minister Cui and come here?"
Chen Jue was not happy with Chen Jia's decision to change the subject, and he was a little bit unwilling to give in. "Sister, you have always taught me how to do things. Today, Lord Wei treated me like this. I don't understand what he meant by that."
Chen Jia looked at Wei Lang, who looked a little unhappy. She didn't want Ajue to have a rift with his colleagues the day after he became Shaoqing.
Chen Jia smiled dotingly, "If Lord Wei really regarded you as an outsider, he would not have renovated the Zhaoguo Mansion so carefully. Lord Wei, it is because he does not regard you as an outsider that he came here to hide away. If he were polite, he would rather endure it and would not leave the banquet."
Chen Jue tilted his head, looking at Chen Jia as if he understood something. Chen Jia ignored Chen Jue's gaze. She looked at Wei Lang, her voice soft, like a pool of warm spring water.
"Master Wei, am I right?"
Wei Lang looked at Chen Jia who was so close to him. Such a smile touched his heart. Maybe, if he tried harder, he and Chen Jia would be able to go one step further.
Anyway, what Chen Jue said just now was very abrupt. As Chen Jia was used to being a clan wife, she would definitely follow his wishes to ease the atmosphere.
Thinking of this, Wei Lang smiled and peeled the lotus seeds from the lotus pod. He handed the peeled lotus seeds to Chen Jia, "Calling me Lord Wei is really being polite. Calling me A Lang is really being close to you. These lotus seeds are very sweet. You should clear your mouth."
Chen Jia looked at the lotus seeds that Wei Lang handed over. Just as she was about to take them away, Chen Jue snatched them away and put the lotus seeds into his mouth.
Chen Jue shook his head and laughed, "Brother Lang, these lotus seeds taste really good."
Wei Lang looked at the childish Wei Jue, but he was not angry. Instead, he handed more lotus seeds in his hand to Chen Jia.
Tonight, he wanted to let her and Chen Jue understand that he wanted to take things a step further with Chen Jia, and he would do it regardless of whether Chen Jia accepted it or not.
Chen Jia looked at the lotus seeds that Wei Lang handed over. She took them readily, and the smile on Chen Jue's face suddenly disappeared.
Chen Jia placed the lotus seeds on the table, maintaining a proper smile, "Your name has a homophone, and I, as a concubine, still have to consider my reputation."
This sentence made the smile on Wei Lang's face disappear.
"But, I can still call you Master Wei."
"Master Wei? This is not the first time we've met, so addressing each other like this is still unfamiliar."
"Or, should I follow Ajue and call you Brother Lang?"
Chen Jue interrupted at this moment and said, "Sister, you just got divorced. If you call someone brother now, I'm afraid the Yang family will ruin your reputation if they get the chance."
Chen Jia sighed helplessly, "I can't call him Wei Shaoqing, right?"
Wei Lang's voice sounded again, "You can call me Rui Qing or Qing Luan."
Wei Lang's courtesy name was Ruiqing and his nickname was Qingluan. Because the Hedong Wei family was of noble birth and he was successful at a young age, few of his peers called him Ruiqing. Most of them called him Wei Shaoqing.
Now, Wei Lang giving Chen Jia such privileges can be regarded as another kind of confession.
Chen Jue bit his lower lip. He couldn't stop it because it was right and polite to call a young man by his given name.
"Since you favor me so much, I will naturally not refuse. Ruiqing, you can also call me Ino."
Chen Jue is also an adult woman. Since she came of age, her master has given her the name Yinuo and her nickname Yi Yi.
"Although you don't want to call me Qingluan, I would rather call you Yiyi."
Wei Lang smiled and picked up the lotus pod, as if he was talking about something happy and joyful, "I am celebrating the fact that you and I are no longer strangers with this lotus that is pure and yet not evil."
Chen Jia's heart beat faster. She looked at Wei Lang's persistence in trying to get closer to them, and for the first time she felt the warmth of being pursued so intensely.
In the past, she was just arranged by the emperor to do things according to her master's wishes. Now, perhaps, she can let nature take its course.
Chen Jia laughed. She picked up the lotus pod and clinked it with Wei Lang's as if clinking glasses.
The smile on Chen Jue's face completely disappeared. He didn't expect that after Yang Xiu left, Wei Lang came. And his sister obviously didn't mind Wei Lang's pursuit.
What to do, she really seems to just treat him as a little brother!
Wei Lang sensed Chen Jue's unhappiness, but he was not displeased at all. Instead, he whispered, "It's getting late. I'm afraid it's inconvenient for me to go back home. If possible, I hope to stay at the Duke of Zhao's mansion for a while."
Stay overnight? !
Chen Jue's heart was beating really fast! Did Wei Lang have to be so proactive in order to pursue his elder sister? Was he planning to get the upper hand by being close to the water?
He couldn't say no. After all, it was Wei Lang who was in charge of the renovation of the Duke of Zhao's Mansion, and Wei Lang and he were colleagues who saw each other every day.
He had no reason to say no. After all, Chen Jia did not reject Wei Lang, and he was a child who had not yet reached adulthood, so he had no right to interfere.
Chen Jue took a deep breath and for the first time felt the pressure from Wei Lang as an adult man. Perhaps his sister was right, he still had a lot to learn, including how to easily and unnoticeably drive away a playboy like Wei Lang!
Chen Jue forced out a not-so-pretty smile, "Brother Lang, what are you talking about? You know this place better than I do. Since you can't hold your liquor, I'll arrange a room for you. Why don't we go together now?"
"it is good."
Wei Lang stood up, as if he was very easy to talk to at this moment. Chen Jue secretly breathed a sigh of relief. As long as he kept an eye on Wei Lang tonight, perhaps he could still keep Chen Jia away from Wei Lang.
Before Chen Jue had taken a few steps, Wei Lang behind him suddenly fell to the left. Seeing that Wei Lang was about to fall to the ground, Wei Lang staggered a few steps and he barely managed to steady himself.
Wei Lang smiled awkwardly and looked back at Chen Jia who was carrying a basket behind him. "Yi Yi, I'm afraid I'll have to trouble you to make some hangover soup. Hey, my alcohol tolerance is really embarrassing. If I have a hangover, I'm afraid I'll have to take a day off tomorrow."
Take a leave? !
Chen Jue suddenly looked at Wei Lang. He must have done this on purpose! If he didn't let Chen Jia cook the hangover soup, Wei Lang would stay here tomorrow!
If he asked Chen Jia to cook sobering soup, Wei Lang would still be able to see Chen Jia after a while!
The most hateful thing was that Chen Jue was a little tipsy when he came, and he couldn’t take care of Wei Lang.
Wei Lang, you really did everything you could to get close to my sister. You have no shame at all!
