Chapter 965: Chapter 36: Brilliant as the Stars, Only Deep Affection Cannot Be Betrayed

Anyway, he is the third generation’s eldest grandson of the Feng Family, the future hope of being a pillar of the Feng Family men, right!

Even though... he only completed his undergraduate studies and didn’t pursue a master’s degree.

But he was a student of Tsinghua, exchanged abroad for two years, not too bad, right!

Why have his dad, aunt, grandpa never praised him even half a sentence, yet they admire this new Gu Zixi so much.

Yu Xi felt a pang of jealousy in his heart, glanced at that painting, then turned his head to avoid a second look.

He raised his eyes again to glance at Gu Zixi sitting opposite, listening to his sister Yushan chattering beside him, "Little Uncle is amazing!"

He depressedly pursed his lips, took a fork, and viciously stabbed at the black pepper steak in front of him.

...

The year 2020 should be the most depressing year Yu Xi has spent.

On New Year’s Eve, the family was watching the Spring Festival Gala. Being from the south, they couldn’t quite understand the northern cross-talk jokes, so everyone went out to the villa’s lawn to set off fireworks.

The elders in the family were drinking tea, discussing Feng Yuning’s marriage.

Feng Chengjin, who liked cars, feared that the fireworks would turn the Bentley he just bought into dust, so he took the butler to move each car into the indoor garage.

On the lawn, Feng Yushan was having a blast running around with Pitt.

Gu Zixi was good-tempered as he accompanied this pair of dragon and phoenix twins in their playfulness.

After dinner, Uncle He Qimo also brought He Yunshen and He Xiaoqi over.

The He Family had few people, so this year they celebrated the New Year with the Feng Family. Originally, they arranged to have New Year’s Eve dinner with the Yu Family, but due to some trouble, the Yu Family was too upset to come.

The young He Yunshen, just over two years old, was watching the rising fireworks and exclaimed "Wow, wow" in Zhou Huimei’s arms.

Yu Xi saw He Xiaoqi. This woman used to like him, but he didn’t like her, so he kept his distance.

Feeling awkward, He Xiaoqi glanced at him twice, noticed his avoidance, and didn’t approach him anymore. Instead, she turned and chatted with Gu Zixi since she was familiar with him.

Everything seemed harmonious on the surface...

However, Yu Xi stood at the back in the shadows, mood downcast as he smoked one cigarette after another...

The endless chatter was getting on his nerves, and the presence of Gu Zixi and He Xiaoqi made him feel out of place in the Feng Family, adding to his embarrassment.

Avoiding his dad, he lit a fourth cigarette, and finally, after one more look at the lawn...

Feeling utterly alienated, he carried his extremely depressed mood into the villa’s study, where he started playing a new game released by Blizzard from the United States.

...

After a night of gaming and thrilling battles, Yu Xi finally felt a slight relief in his depression and went back to his bedroom.

But as soon as he entered, he was stunned.

The sound of the shower was clearly coming from the bathroom, and he walked to the door, surprised, "Who? Is someone in there?"

How could it be? Each bedroom in the Feng Family Villa has its own private ensuite; who would come here?

Just as he was about to knock, the water stopped, and the door opened from the inside.

For a moment, if seeing Gu Zixi these past few days left him both amazed and depressed, then the amazement and depression reached their peak at this point!

Gu Zixi, fresh from a shower and only wearing a black robe, his lazy black hair still wet and sticking to his forehead, raised one hand and wiped it with a towel.

A well-built and perfect physique, his skin so fair it would make women feel ashamed, and his chest, Gu Zixi was very very fair, and because of this fairness, in contrast to his jet-black eyes, it was like seeing the brightest star in the night sky, or peering into the vast Milky Way of the universe.

Sparkling, glowing, when he raised his eyes, it seemed as if a ripple went straight to the depths of one’s heart...

Seeing Yu Xi, Gu Zixi was also taken aback, before looking around and explaining, "Oh, the shower in my room isn’t giving hot water. The butler said it would be fixed tomorrow, so I was told to use this room’s shower. I’ve cleaned up after myself, and it shouldn’t be too messy for your bathroom."

Gu Zixi’s tone was very polite, but after finishing speaking, he found that Yu Xi stood frozen for a long time, not responding.

Following Yu Xi’s gaze, he glanced at himself...

Realizing Yu Xi’s gaze was fixed on his chest and the two legs exposed by the robe...

Yu Xi was indeed taken aback by Gu Zixi!

He used to think only women could be so attractive that he would take a second look, never imagining one day he would see a man coming out of the shower and it would make him think of "like a lotus just out of water"!

Clean and spotless!

Moreover, along with his maturity, Gu Zixi had a strikingly handsome face! Every move was lethally attractive, and now backed by the surrounding warm vapor and the golden light projected from the bathroom, he looked as stunning as a Greek deity with model-like charming long legs!

Yu Xi showed an expression of amazement and yet also frustration.

Gu Zixi stood in this awkward atmosphere gazing at Yu Xi for a few seconds, and in the end, noticing Yu Xi still hadn’t come back to his senses, he frowned deeply, pursed his thin lips, wrapped his robe tighter, and turned to open the door and left.

The cold wind brought Yu Xi back to his senses, and after a few seconds, he finally reacted.

Instantly, he almost felt a surge from the bottom of his feet into his throat.

If not for the fear that shouting out would disturb the hallway and the whole family would think he was crazy, he really wanted to rush out, grab Gu Zixi’s robe and shout: What kind of look is that! I’m straight! Straight! Absolutely straight! You can’t look at me this way!

Unfortunately... Gu Zixi didn’t give him that chance at all.

His almost 1.2-meter-long legs moved quickly, and just within a few steps, he was inside his bedroom, "click!" locking the door.

Yu Xi stood at the door, gripping the door frame, wanting to scratch the wall several times, but unfortunately, he had no nails...

...

Throughout the night, this lump of frustration was stuck in Yu Xi’s throat. Several times he swallowed and couldn’t get it down.

On the 2.2-meter bed, at 10:55, he slept on the left, 11:00, he turned to the right, 11:05, he turned back to the left.

The feeling in his throat was that, in all these years, it was the first time a man looked at him like he was gay, making him feel more disgusted than having swallowed a fly.

But this person was his generation’s junior uncle, how could he protest or explain?

That night, thinking of how, despite the not much age difference, being of lower generation already made him quite frustrated.

Thinking of how he was inferior in every way, and the whole family was praising him, he became even more frustrated.

Finally, being taken for... Yu Xi hugged his pillow and almost cried.

So, Yu Xi had a nightmare that night.

In his dream, he was playing League of Legends, controlling Galen, clearing a line of minions with a combo, taking down turrets with his ultimate, shouting happily: "For Demacia!"

Suddenly, Prince Jarvan IV came crashing down on him from the sky.

The prince with Gu Zixi’s face softly said: "Find me stronger opponents..."
