Chapter 141 The Two Brothers of the Zhai Family
Zhai Xingchen stayed there alone until the footsteps of the two people gradually faded away. He slowly raised his head, his eyes revealing a complex emotion. He looked upstairs with empty eyes, as if he was looking for something.
Ten minutes later, he walked heavily towards the kitchen, where several bottles of unopened wine were placed. He ignored the empty hunger in his stomach, signaled the servants to open the bottles, and then asked them to leave. He sat on the kitchen floor, drinking one glass after another, as if he wanted to numb himself with alcohol.
It was late at night, and Mrs. Li came to the kitchen to clean up, but found Zhai Xingchen drunk on the floor. She gently patted Zhai Xingchen, but he waved away, muttering that he wanted to be alone. Seeing this, Mrs. Li knew that the second young master must be in a bad mood at the moment. She knew that the second young master had listened to the eldest young master since he was a child, and it was not good to alarm the old master now, lest the second young master be punished again. So she decided to inform the eldest young master Zhai Yijing.
At this time, on the fourth floor, Lu Qingxi originally planned to eat something in the evening, but due to the busy banquet, the servants had no time to take care of her. After receiving Xiao Lan's text message, she also endured and did not go downstairs.
She looked at the time and it was already half past twelve. Her hunger emboldened her. She stumbled to the kitchen, wanting to find something to eat, but unexpectedly saw a pile of empty wine bottles and Zhai Xingchen lying on the ground. She carefully walked around the bottles, fearing that she would fall, but she eventually tripped over one foot and fell into an embrace filled with alcohol.
Lu Qingxi looked up in surprise and met Zhai Xingchen's hazy eyes. Zhai Xingchen looked at her in a daze, as if he had seen an illusion. He murmured to himself: "Are you a fairy? How can you be so beautiful? Are you here to save me? Then can you take me away from this home that doesn't belong to me?" Lu Qingxi was startled by his words. She leaned in to look at his face and confirmed that it was Zhai Xingchen. She looked at the posture of the two at the moment and felt a little embarrassed, so she slowly moved out and responded to him: "Well, close your eyes and count to three, and I will fulfill your wish." However, as soon as she finished speaking, she tiptoed and quietly left.
Zhai Xingchen closed his eyes obediently and began to count. After counting three numbers, he opened his eyes, only to find that the fairy had disappeared. He mumbled and clamored to see the fairy, and his voice echoed in the empty kitchen. At this time, Zhai Yijing came out from the shadows. He heard Zhai Xingchen's voice, but did not help him immediately. He looked in the direction where the girl had just left, with a faint flash of expectation in his eyes.
Zhai Yijing rushed to the company early in the morning, and unexpectedly met Han Wan downstairs. Han Wan went up to him and said that she had something to discuss, but Zhai Yijing coldly rejected her request on the grounds that she was busy, and walked straight into the company's door. Han Wan looked at his back, and she was resentful for being treated coldly by the two brothers of the Zhai family. She stomped her feet heavily, and then turned and left.
At Zhai's house, Zhai Xingchen slowly woke up from his dizziness. He felt a splitting headache, as if he had been hit by a heavy object. He tried to get up, but the softness under him told him that he was no longer on the kitchen floor. He rubbed his temples and tried to recall what happened last night, but there was only a vague memory in his mind.
However, Zhai Xingchen remembered a beautiful dream he had last night. In the dream, there was a beautiful woman. She was beautiful and gentle, and was simply his muse. The image of this girl lingered in his mind, and made him want to pick up writing again.
In the following days, Zhai Xingchen almost didn't eat or drink, and locked himself in the room. He spent three whole days drawing the girl's appearance. Every stroke was filled with his longing and desire. He didn't know why he was so obsessed with this girl, but he knew that for the first time in his life, he had expectations for someone.
When Zhai Yijing passed by Zhai Xingchen's room at night, he noticed that the door was closed, and he couldn't help but feel a little puzzled. He asked the servants at home and learned that Zhai Xingchen had not left the house for several days. So he asked Mrs. Li to get the spare key and knocked on the door symbolically, but there was no response from the room. He hesitated for a moment, then opened the door and walked in.
The scene in the room was completely different from what he had imagined. There were no bottles of wine scattered all over the floor, nor were there messy clothes. Instead, it was tidy. Zhai Xingchen was standing by the window, concentrating on painting. Zhai Yijing walked closer and was surprised to find that the person in the painting was the girl he saw that night - Lu Qingxi.
Looking at Zhai Xingchen's focused and affectionate look, and the magnified face of the girl in the painting, he stood quietly aside, observing Zhai Xingchen's painting. Lu Qingxi in the painting was beautiful and lively, as if she could attract people's souls.
An idea suddenly flashed through Zhai Yijing's mind. He realized that his brother seemed to have a special feeling for this girl. This feeling surprised him and made him feel a little worried.
Zhai Yijing sat in the study, holding the information about Lu Qingxi in his hand, frowning. He had known about Lu Qingxi's relationship with Jimo Tan for a long time, but he didn't expect that she was so popular. Not only did she have good friends like Xiao Lan and Chu Rouxuan, but she also had suitors like Helian Che, and even Qin Fangkai favored her.
A few days later, Zhai Yijing decided to organize a special family vacation. He proposed this idea to his stepmother and received positive support. So he planned to take the younger generations of his family to his private resort to enjoy an unforgettable leisure time.
This resort is an extremely luxurious place, equipped with luxury villas, private beaches and golf courses, providing a perfect leisure and entertainment experience for the children of the rich. Zhai Yijing knew that this would be a great place to observe the relationship between Lu Qingxi and his friends.
The private beach is a highlight of the resort, with fine and soft sand and clear blue water. Guests can relax here and enjoy the sun and sea breeze. Zhai Yijing is looking forward to seeing Lu Qingxi interacting with friends on this beach.
Zhai Yijing specially added Han Xin to the invitation list, because her current identity could help him complete the task of pestering Zhai Xingchen, and let her participate in this vacation. At the same time, he also invited Xiao Lan, Jimo Tan, Chu Rouxuan and Lu Sheng. He invited the girls because he wanted Lu Qingxi to let down her guard and relax, and he invited Jimo Tan because he wanted to understand the current development of the two.
However, the development of the matter was beyond Zhai Yijing's expectations. Chu Rouxuan showed off the photos of her vacation with Lu Qingxi in her circle of friends, and Helian Che saw them. He couldn't help but feel excited and joined them uninvited.
