Rebirth: I am the boss uncle

Ye Youxuan looked at the phoenix flowers in his hand, gently plucked one, placed it on his chest, closed his eyes and prayed silently, and finally put it in the water to let it float.

Tang Muchen, who was standing aside, watched Ye Youxuan's actions, which brought back memories deep in his heart. He stared at Ye Youxuan blankly.

"This phoenix flower is quite beautiful. Hey...why don't we pick some tomorrow and take some pictures? My girlfriend likes flowers too, so we can take some back to appease her."

Chen Haoran touched his chin thoughtfully, and bumped into Tang Muchen who was standing next to him to ask for his opinion, but found that his good friend was staring blankly at Ye Youxuan in front of him, not paying any attention to him at all, as if he had lost all his energy.

"Hey! Mu Chen, what's wrong with you? Did you hear me? What are you looking at? Mu Chen..."

Ye Youxuan turned around and looked at the stunned man, shaking the phoenix flower in his hand.

"Mr. Tang...what's wrong with you? Do you like these flowers? I can give them to you."

Hearing Ye Youxuan's words and looking at the unfamiliar face in front of him, Tang Muchen blinked, took a deep breath, and forced a smile on his face.

"No... I can't take someone else's love away. Besides, I... don't like phoenix flowers."

"Mr. Tang doesn't like it, but...Mrs. Tang should like it."

Ye Youxuan held the phoenix flower in front of him and sniffed it gently, his eyes lowered and his expression could not be seen.

Chen Haoran and Song Yichen on the side burst into laughter when they heard this.

"Xiao Ye...you really overestimate him. He's still single, so how could he possibly have a wife? I've never seen him speak to a girl in four years of college...Even though he seems talkative now, he's speechless when it comes to girls."

Ye Youxuan's eyelashes trembled slightly and he raised his head slightly.

Tang Muchen listened to his two friends talking about him like this, without refutation, but paused before speaking

"My girlfriend probably doesn't like Phoenix flowers either..."

This shocked Chen Haoran and Song Yichen. Chen Haoran was stunned for a moment, then hugged Tang Muchen's shoulders.

"Alright, you kid! You didn't even tell us you had a girlfriend, and you made us worry about you for so long, afraid you'd be single for the rest of your life. I didn't expect you even have a girlfriend. Tell me! Who is it? And when did you start dating?"

Song Yichen, who was standing by, also pushed his glasses up with a serious face. He looked at his good friend who had kept it a secret from him for so many years. It would be a lie to say that he wasn't angry or surprised.

Tang Muchen looked into Ye Youxuan's eyes and said slowly, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hide it from you... The person I like is my childhood sweetheart, Yin Shuyu. She was with me throughout my childhood and even my entire teenage years. Later, because..."

Tang Muchen swallowed hard, and after a long moment, he spoke again, "Because she...went to a very far place and hasn't come back yet...we rarely see each other, so I didn't introduce her to you. I was planning to wait until she comes back...I'll introduce her to you when she comes back...and then you must come to our wedding."

Tang Muchen lowered his head as he spoke, his voice choked, but no one could understand. Only Ye Youxuan, who was standing opposite him, knew what he meant. A faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, but only he knew how much effort he had used to force himself not to look at Tang Muchen and not to let his expression change.

Tang Muchen looked at Ye Youxuan, whose expression remained unchanged, and his last glimmer of hope vanished. As he watched their identical movements, he wondered if Ye Youxuan might have met Shuyu before. Even though the possibility was only one in ten thousand, he still gave it a try and told her about his relationship with Shuyu. However, Ye Youxuan showed no change after hearing this, suggesting they had never met before...

In that instant, Tang Muchen's mood plummeted. Yes... With so many people in the world, it's not surprising that some of them have similar actions.

Chen Haoran tightened his arms around Tang Muchen's shoulders.

"Oh! You're still shy... I didn't expect you to be so quick. You've already reached the stage of discussing marriage. Okay... When she comes back, we must meet my sister-in-law and see what it is that has captivated you so much. Tsk tsk tsk, to be someone you care about so much, she must be a peerless beauty, right?"

Hearing this, Tang Muchen lowered his head and smiled gently, "Yes... She is very beautiful and gentle..."

"Oh, wow, wow... you're showing off. Tell me, who's chasing who?"

Tang Muchen seemed to have thought of something and burst out laughing.

"I'm so good-looking, of course she's the one chasing me."

Sure enough, when it comes to being pursued or pursuing someone, most boys choose to be pursued.

Ye Youxuan looked at the somewhat complacent Tang Muchen, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he sneered, "Bullshit!"

"What? Xiaoye, what did you say?"

Because the sound was so quiet, no one could hear it clearly. Ye Youxuan rolled his eyes in a corner where no one could see him, then raised his head with the same faint smile on his face.

"No! I think it's fine... But didn't Mr. Tang just say that the girl was very beautiful? In my memory, beautiful girls are usually quite arrogant. It would be difficult for her to put aside her pride and pursue someone."

"cough cough"

Tang Muchen coughed awkwardly as if his heart was touched.

Chen Haoran, standing aside, didn't take it seriously. "Tsk, Xiaoye, you have to trust our Mu Chen. Look, he has both talent and good looks. He's a man of both letters and martial arts. Who wouldn't be confused by him?"

Song Yichen on the side also nodded solemnly to Ye Youxuan. They trusted their good friend very much.

Tang Muchen touched his nose awkwardly

"Ahem... this... it doesn't matter who's chasing whom. As long as we're together, it's fine."

Ye Youxuan pursed his lips in dissatisfaction, thinking to himself, "Tang Muchen, you'll be dead when I come back. Since you said I was pursuing you, huh?" But then he thought of something else, and his mood dropped.

"Then tell me, what does my sister-in-law like? Let's prepare first, otherwise it will be awkward when we meet... Also, please share your experience with me. How did you maintain your relationship for so many years? What did you give her as a gift?"

Chen Haoran asked like a curious baby, his big eyes blinking with desire.

Tang Muchen, who was immersed in joy just now, stiffened his lips and forced a smile.

"As long as there is love, it can last no matter how much time passes... As for flowers, I like to give her roses."

"Sure enough, straight men always choose roses because they won't choose anything else."

Tang Muchen shook his head

"No... I chose the white rose after careful selection. The meaning of the white rose is: You are my obvious preference. But I think with her stupid brain, she probably doesn't know it yet!"
