I'm guilty with this. There's too much copy paste. But you cannot blame me, the sibling's dialogue was really cute for me to cut.

Chapter Text

Happy Internet Cafe. Chen Guo was sitting on a stool at the food counter, fanning herself. New year goods were scattered on the floor. Traditional or modern. Decoration or food. Useful or not.

Amidst the flood of red lanterns, door couplets, artificial kumquat tree, and many other random things was the first young master of the Ye family. Ye Xiu was collapsed on the floor and lying on his back. He was soaked with sweat despite the cold winter day.

“Ehem!” They were startled as someone knocked on the counter to get their attention.

Ye Xiu lazily stood up thinking that it was a customer. The sunlight was blinding outside so Ye Xiu couldn’t see it clearly but he could still make up three figures from the shadows.

Chen Guo also got up and as she squinted her eyes, she was able to identify the girl in front.

“Little Tang? Why did you come back?”Chen Guo blurted out as she hurried over to help the girl with her luggage but Tang Rou waved her hand saying that it wasn’t heavy.

“I was kidnapped.” Tang Rou answered helplessly while moving to the side to give way for the two figures behind her.

“Hello Brother.” The man greeted the guy who had just stood up. He smiled at Ye Xiu with a side of his eyebrow raised up seemingly disgusted with his current state. Slightly nasty, though, faintly intimate.

A smile also crept across Ye Xiu’s face. Unlike the guy, Ye Xiu showed a genuine one with a little bit of quirk. He dusted himself and walk towards the visitor.

“You did really try, I’m impressed.” Ye Xiu said as he patted the shoulder of his younger brother.

Chen Guo couldn’t help but to move her eyes back and forth to the two splitting image of her new internet cafe manager. From their face, the two looked exactly the same. But apart from that, there wasn’t anything else about them that was alike.

One of them was wearing neat and tidy attire, while the other was wearing the same jacket he had been repeatedly wearing for the past two months. Because their work and rest schedule were different, Chen Guo didn’t even know whether he had ever washed his jacket before. Don't blame Ye Xiu, the overcoat from Li Chunhua was on his to stare at collection.

One of them had an immaculate appearance, while the other had only just gone out to buy some stuff and his face already looked dirty.

Then, she looked at their posture. One of them stood perfectly straight, even the curve of his arm looked as if they had been paid particular attention to. As for the other…… Chen Guo couldn’t help but compare. The guy made it look like even standing was tiring.
