  "The boss is here, come in quickly!"

  Zhang Wei came wearing a pair of slippers, and Li Minghui didn't think it was unusual at all. They had been brothers for many years, what's strange about that?

  "Come on, Old Five, your skills have improved a lot, good job!"

  Zhang Wei looked at the stir-fry on the dinner table, immediately picked up his chopsticks, took a big mouthful, and ate it into his mouth, exclaiming loudly.

  "Alright, the stewed beef with potatoes will be ready soon. Let's eat first and then drink directly. I've got a crate of Yanjing beer, should be enough!"

  Li Minghui smiled and tied on an apron.

  "Go on, you're the boss, whatever you say goes. It's been a long time since I've had your cooking, and to be honest, I'm really craving it!"

  Zhang Wei didn't stand on ceremony either, grabbed a steamed bun and started eating it.

  Li Minghui didn't think much of it and sat down, the two brothers quickly started eating. There were many dishes, six steamed buns, but in a short while, the two brothers had eaten everything clean. This speed of eating was practiced during their university days when Li Minghui's dormitory brothers would pack up the food to eat in the dormitory. The relationship between the brothers in the dormitory was very good, and they didn't mind who ate what, so they just put all the food together. Whoever saw something they liked could eat it without any problem. It made today's two brothers quite nostalgic.

  A cigarette after dinner, happy as a god, anyway, the two brothers both lit up a cigarette and started smoking leisurely.

  "Hey, Old Five, did you really find the one in your heart? Today, I feel like something's off about you, tell me, have you found her?"

  Zhang Wei took a glance at Li Minghui and spat out a smoke ring.

  "I don't know either!"

  Li Minghui didn't hide it from his own brother, and said with a slightly red face.

  "Actually met, how did you meet?"

  Zhang Weili immediately became interested, with a curious glint in his eyes.

  "In the Chinese bookstore...that girl asked me to help her return books, I don't know if it's because of that or if she has an interest in me!"

  Li Minghui said in a low voice with some embarrassment.

  "Hahaha... Cough cough cough!"

  Zhang Wei suddenly burst out laughing, choking on his own saliva, and coughed several times before smiling painfully and saying: "Old Five, Old Five, it's not that I'm saying you're wrong, but this girl took the initiative to talk to you, and you didn't even take the opportunity to ask for her phone number or QQ number?"

  Zhang Wei has a brotherly attitude towards you, as if he knows everything about you.

  "Cough... didn't you forget?"

  Li Minghui said with embarrassment.

  "Hmm, this question is for you to ask yourself!"

  Suddenly, Zhang Wei stood up and said seriously: "Brother, I'm worried about you. Think about it, you've already passed your Benming year (30th birthday), but you're still a low-ranking official. How can this be? As for me, Zhang Wei, who considers himself a romantic hero, having a brother like you is really... Alas!"

  "What... should I do?"

  Li Minghui immediately said with some tension.

  To be honest, the Chinese bookstore where Ye Xiaoyu was met by Li Minghui gave him a kind of inexplicable good feeling. The more he didn't know what was going on, the more urgently he wanted to talk to Ye Xiaoyu, or do something else. Although it's very cliché and even cheesy, Li Minghui just had a certain feeling about Ye Xiaoyu.

  "Lao Wu, brother is being serious, there's no hope!"

  Zhang Wei said seriously.

  Li Minghui didn't interrupt, he knew Zhang Wei had more to say. Sure enough, Zhang Wei continued: "In today's society, good girls are hard to pursue. Those who can be easily won over are generally not a long-term choice. For example, at the Chinese Literature Bookstore, I also know a bit about it. The people who go there to read books are usually those with good family backgrounds and refined tastes. Brother knows you're not very emotionally intelligent, but your taste is quite high. How's that girl? She's still a beauty, right?"

  "Hmm!"

  Li Minghui nodded subconsciously, anyway he thought it was good.

  "Think about it, a beauty with that kind of temperament, what is she? A goddess! What are we two brothers? Just a thread, so Old Five, that kind of woman isn't someone we can mess with!"

  Zhang Wei sighed slightly and said with a somewhat disappointed expression.

  "Boss, you won't be affected by this blow, will you?"

  Li Minghui clearly felt that something was wrong with his own brother and hurriedly comforted him.

  "Lao Wu, I won't hide it from you, your eldest brother has been dumped, he's had a breakup! Haha, this is the first time my eldest brother has ever been dumped by a girl!"

  Zhang Wei's face was smiling, but what was obvious was a hint of sobbing.

  Li Minghui knew that Zhang Wei was also a sentimental person, and this time he was obviously serious. However, Li Minghui himself was also a rookie, without any experience, and even more so didn't know how to comfort someone who had lost love. He just went "pop" with the beer bottle opener: "Come on, boss, don't cry, let's drink, and get drunk!"

  "Who's crying now? The woman who was drinking is gone and so are her belongings!"

  At this time, Zhang Wei took over the bottle of beer handed over by Li Minghui and gulped it down. Li Minghui couldn't back down either, so he also opened another bottle of beer, and the two brothers started drinking big mouthfuls.

  This drink went down quickly. A whole case of beer was gone in just an hour, and the beef stew with potatoes was also completely finished.

  After a box of wine, Li Minghui also felt slightly dizzy, while Zhang Wei was even more spirited and his mood had obviously improved a lot, which made Li Minghui feel slightly relieved.

  "Alright, Lao Wu, I've collected the beer bottles and all. Let's go! Don't worry, if I meet someone suitable in the future, I'll definitely introduce her to you!"

  "This old man!"

  Li Minghui slightly shook his head, he didn't know if Zhang Wei was giving him advice this time or if he was being taken advantage of by Zhang Wei's trickery. Zhang Wei himself seemed unaffected, but it made Li Minghui worry about him endlessly.

  However, Li Minghui knew that Zhang Wei was probably really heartbroken, but he was very open-minded and disguised it well, making Li Minghui think he was still in a lot of pain from the breakup, and for a while, he was tricked into drinking again.

  Shaking his head, Li Minghui also really felt a bit dizzy, but the persistence in his heart was gone. Everything went with the flow, anyway he Li Minghui would definitely live out a wonderful life in this lifetime, and didn't need to be too persistent.

  With creative software, he will eventually become a master of creation. If fate permits, then she is the goddess, and he also has the capital to pursue. Everything depends on fate, so there's no need to be too obsessed...
