"You...you are... Zeyu?"

Sheng Mingxuan took a step back in disbelief, staring at the beautiful woman in front of her.

Ze Yu's words not only stunned Sheng Mingxuan, but also surprised Ze Teng.

Their identities are the biggest secret, and Zeyu trusts Sheng Mingxuan so much.

Zetten coughed and said, "In short... let's go upstairs first."

Sheng Mingxuan came to the room with the two of them in a daze, Zeyu naturally sat down and turned on the TV, found his favorite program and started watching it.

"Good evening, viewers! Today's "I Love Kitchen" introduces this dish to you. I believe many friends like it. It is..."

Ze Yu took the pen and paper on the table and took notes calmly.

Zeteng asked curiously, "Brother, you are not a vegetarian, why do you even remember this?"

Zeyu said calmly: "Brother Chen likes to eat, I'll try it next time."

Zetten scratched his hair in shame, "Cough... so, um, you are so filial, oh no, I mean virtuous..."

Sheng Mingxuan looked at them in a cloud, and found that they get along naturally, but there is indeed no ambiguous atmosphere between men and women.

He asked suspiciously: "Are you really Ze Yu? You... aren't you Ze Teng's younger brother? Why..."

No wonder he didn't believe it, the person in front of him didn't resemble Zeyu in any way except for his alienated and indifferent temperament, but this feeling was almost the same as Zeyu's, so Sheng Mingxuan didn't dare to deny it outright.

"It's a long story. In short, Mr. Sheng, please don't doubt my brother's loyalty to Brother Chen, and don't try to separate them. It's not easy for them to be together."

Ze Yu seldom uttered such long sentences, and Ze Teng couldn't help but glance at him moved.

Sheng Mingxuan was silent for a few seconds, then said in a deep voice: "If what you said is true, then I apologize for my recklessness just now."

Ze Teng also had the idea of ​​killing Sheng Mingxuan when he was angry before, so he didn't accept this apology with peace of mind, so he put on a magnanimous look: "It doesn't matter, it's only natural for you to admit your mistake when Zeyu is dressed like this."

Sheng Mingxuan stared at Ze Yu for a long time, shook his head and said, "I'm still a little..."

——It’s true that makeup can change a person’s appearance, but Zeyu’s height, figure, and voice have also changed. How easy is it to be fooled when he’s a kindergarten kid?

However, I didn't expect Zeyu's next words to deal a heavy blow to Sheng Mingxuan: "Brother and I are not human beings."

"..."

Sheng Mingxuan was so stimulated that he became indifferent.

In fact, he felt that Ze Teng and Ze Yu were very different before—Ze Teng dared to jump from the height of a five-story building with his bare hands without getting hurt, and Ze Yu had the ability to manipulate snakes at a young age.But he was weird, but he didn't think about other aspects. After all, "not a human being" is too shocking in any way, and he doesn't live in an illusory world, so how could he think about it?

Now that the conversation started, Zeteng didn't want to continue to hide it. He also didn't want to be looked down upon by his love rival, and wanted to show off his power in front of Sheng Mingxuan instead of being suppressed by him in terms of social status and network ability.

Zetten opened his mouth and began to talk eloquently.

From when he cultivated human form, found Tan Chen, and lived in Tan Chen's house, until Tan Chen agreed to be with him.

The idiot snake doesn't have much eloquence, and some things are confused, but Sheng Mingxuan hears it, but feels that he really has no doubts about Tan Chen... he is infatuated.

"...So, with my unremitting efforts, Xiao Chen became my lover."

Sheng Mingxuan seemed to be holding a deep breath, clenched his fists: "Does he... know about you?"

He can't deny that he still has a glimmer of hope for Tan Chen. After all, it's not easy for a ladyboy to fall in love with a monster. Is Tan Chen really willing to be with a monster?

Zeteng lifted his chin triumphantly, "Of course I know! He knew it when I first met him, and Xiao Chen has seen my real body. My parents also like Xiao Chen!"

Sheng Mingxuan was taken aback: "Has he met your parents?"

"Yes, Xiaochen also said that he would take me home to meet his parents in the future."

Sheng Mingxuan felt a sudden emptiness in his heart, as if something that had been supporting him was suddenly taken away by someone, which made him a little unsteady.

...It turned out that the relationship between these two people was far deeper than he had imagined.

In fact, he should have seen clearly that Tan Chen was never a casual person, and he had already reached the stage of meeting his parents, so he must have identified this monster long ago.

I'm afraid that in this life, he will never have a chance to let Tan Chen transfer that feeling to himself.

——The only regret is, if he had recognized his feelings earlier, would the result be different now?

*****

The pointer moved slowly, and when I looked up, it was already two o'clock in the morning.

There was only one dim wall lamp lit in the room, and Sheng Mingxuan and Zeyu were sitting at both ends of the double bed.

Zeteng wants to go home to accompany Tan Chen, but has already left.Zeyu had nothing to say to Sheng Mingxuan alone, so the two of them were relatively speechless, just immersed in the silent atmosphere.

In the end, it was Zeyu who broke the deadlock, but his wooden tone really didn't have any effect: "Mr. Sheng, it's getting late."

Sheng Mingxuan smiled bitterly, "...That's right, it's time for you to rest, go to sleep."

Ze Yu said indifferently, "I'm not sleepy."

Sheng Mingxuan let out an "oh", suddenly remembered that Ze Yu was now a daughter, and couldn't help but glance at him again.

To be honest, Lao Deng's mistress is good-looking, with a thin waist and long legs, and fair and tender skin. Zeyu has changed her skin, and she does not look seductive but very temperamental.Sheng Mingxuan could see his curving lines from head to toe from behind. Although it was very pleasing to the eye, it was strange that Sheng Mingxuan felt that Zeyu's appearance as a boy was more pleasing to the eye.

Ze Yu suddenly looked back at him, and when he noticed Sheng Mingxuan's gaze, he frowned displeasedly.

Sheng Mingxuan covered his mouth and coughed, a little trying to cover up.

"If you're not sleepy, can we chat for a while?"

"Alright." Ze Yu raised his eyebrows.

Sheng Mingxuan didn't know what topic to start with, so he casually said, "What are your future plans?"

Zeyu stared at the recipe he memorized for a while, and said, "I want to open a restaurant."

Sheng Mingxuan was taken aback for a moment, then couldn't help but sit closer, glanced at Zeyu's small notebook, and unexpectedly found that his handwriting was pretty good.

"Are you interested in cooking?"

"It's just a little bit. It's better to find something to do than to be idle."

"...That's right," Sheng Mingxuan paused, "You guys can live for a long time."

As soon as he uttered these words, he suddenly realized that Zeten's seemingly silly snake was not as far-fetched as he thought. At least that guy understood the difference in life span between him and Tan Chen, but he was able to devote himself to it without hesitation.

Zeyu concentrated on listing a few lines, which looked like the names of medicinal materials.Sheng Mingxuan asked curiously: "Do you want to make medicinal food?"

"Well, there are a lot of wild medicinal herbs near my house."

"...Aren't you afraid that if you pick too much, you will lose your way?"

"Of course not," Zeyu twirled the pen with his fingertips, "My medicinal diet is sold in limited quantities."

"You know a lot," Sheng Mingxuan said with a smile, "That's fine, if you need any help with opening a store, feel free to come to me, you're welcome."

Ze Yu looked at him sideways, and was about to nod, but suddenly thought of something, and hesitated for a moment.

Sheng Mingxuan looked into his eyes, "What's wrong?"

Ze Yu pursed his lips and said, "Mr. Sheng, lend me your hand."

Sheng Mingxuan stretched out his hand suspiciously, but he didn't expect Zeyu to grab his hand.

When Zeyu wants to probe other people's thoughts casually, he can feel like a mirror with just a light touch, and if he really wants to know someone deeply, he will shake the other person's hand.He also used this spell when he and Tan Chen met for the first time, and they held each other for more than ten seconds before letting go.

Sheng Mingxuan's hand was pinched by him, he felt his skin was cold, like a piece of jade, and couldn't help but feel a little dizzy.

Zeyu's face was very flat, and he couldn't see any changes against the light, but Sheng Mingxuan felt that his brows seemed to stretch a little, and then he heard him say: "Then I will trouble you from now on."

"..." After a few seconds, Sheng Mingxuan's gaze gathered again, "Okay."

*****

Tan Chen came home that day and found that his uncle was still surfing the Internet in the same posture as when he went out. He couldn't help but said, "Zeyu, you seem to be very busy recently?"

"En." Ze Yu replied, his eyes still glued to the screen.

Tan Chen was amused, "Long time facing the computer will damage your eyesight, so take a break and have a meal."

Zeyu still "hmm", and looked at it for more than ten minutes before closing the computer.

Zetten was going to work, so he flew to a neighboring city yesterday.Tan Chen was quite surprised that he got the ID card by himself so quickly. He didn't expect that this guy seemed to have no brains, but he had a lot of calculations in his heart.However, when he asked, Ze Teng and Ze Yu didn't mention the matter.No matter what, it will be much more convenient to do things after having an identity certificate, and Tan Chen is also happy to relax.

"Shall we have steamed eggs with shrimps tonight? Add fried pork with mushrooms?" Tan Chen took off his coat and planned to enter the kitchen, but Ze Yu stood up and stopped him: "Brother Chen, sit down, I'll go."

Tan Chen was a little surprised to see that he took out many muddy things from his hiking bag, which were so dark that they couldn't be seen, like black radishes.

Zeyu explained: "This is the yam I picked near my house."

Tan Chen was stunned: "You picked it? When?"

"Today, I picked twenty catties."

"..." Tan Chen said speechlessly, "It takes a day and a half to take the train back and forth from here to your house, why do you..."

"The mountain people have their own tricks." Ze Yu didn't explain too much, and went into the kitchen with the yam.

An hour later, Zeyu came out carrying a small casserole with a diameter of about [-] centimeters.

When Tan Chen moved his nose, he felt an extremely strong fragrance wafting out of it, which he couldn't describe, like the fragrance of birds and plants mixed together, interwoven and infiltrating each other, he felt the smell in his mouth after smelling it for only a few seconds. A sour, saliva almost dripped out.

Zeyu lifted the lid, and the smell became more obvious. Then he took out several three-finger-width and half-arm-length tubes from the steamer. They looked like bamboo joints but were not the color of bamboo. Tan Chen couldn't help asking: "What's the name of your stuff?"

Zeyu deliberately kept his tongue out of the question and pried the brown tube in half with chopsticks, revealing white rice inside, each grain was crystal clear and plump, making your index finger twitch.

Under Ze Yu's gesture, Tan Chen took a piece of chicken from the casserole and put it into his mouth. The meat was stewed just right, neither hard nor rotten. It ate two tubes of rice in a row while it was living, and almost choked to death on the dining table.

Ze Yu waited for him to finish eating before Shi Shiran propped his chin and said, "Brother Chen, how does it taste?"

Tan Chen was too full to speak, and gave him a thumbs up with difficulty.

"If I open a store and sell it, will there be business?"

Tan Chen was stunned for a few seconds, and suddenly realized what Ze Yu wanted to do.

——Great, this kid has been stalking the Internet every day recently, just thinking about opening a restaurant?What is the name of his restaurant?Snake demon restaurant? ...

Zeyu couldn't wait for the answer, so he simply touched Tan Chen, and was relieved when he learned that Tan Chen had a very high opinion of his craftsmanship.

Tan Chen is also a person who has eaten a lot of good things, since he agrees with them, there is nothing wrong with them.

Ze Yu said: "My restaurant is open near your company, you can come over to eat at any time in the future."

The rent in the place where Tan Chen's company is located is not low. He calculated silently, thinking that he still has a little savings on hand, and some more loans should be able to help Zeyu open the restaurant...

Unexpectedly, Zeyu seemed to have seen his thoughts, smiled slightly, and said, "Of course someone will pay for me to open the shop, brother Chen, don't worry."

Tan Chen was confused, and Ze Yu got up and began to clean up the dishes, leaving him with the back of a worldly expert.

three days later.

The first and second floors of a certain commercial building were taken over by a mysterious young man, and renovations began in full swing.

Zeyu wears a dark green retro silk gown with straight breasts in the summer, with a few delicate and small buttons dotted on the chest, against the white skin and black hair, he looks handsome like a man who walked out of an old house in the 20s. The young master who knows the world.

A luxury car drove up in the distance, Mr. Deng walked out of the car with a smile on his face, and came to Zeyu with a somewhat respectful expression.

He had never seen Ze Yu's face before, but only heard that Ze Teng said that his younger brother was going to open a restaurant, so he borrowed some money from him to put it first.Mr. Deng didn't dare to resist, so he immediately transferred a sum of money to Zeyu's account.At first, he thought whether Zeteng's younger brother would be an arrogant and domineering character like him, but he didn't expect to see him today as a handsome young man, so he immediately relieved half of his mind.

Poor Mr. Deng didn't know that the most ferocious animal was actually the most silent, so he offered Zeyu a cigarette with a flattering expression as soon as they met.

Zeyu shook his head and calmly refused, but he did not forget to thank him for his generous help: "This store can be opened thanks to Mr. Deng's help. I will definitely invite you to sit in the store some other day."

Ze Teng knew that Boss Deng had no good intentions in his stomach, and had warned him not to think badly about his younger brother. No matter how daring Boss Deng was, he dared not agree to Zeyu's invitation, and quickly said: "You are too polite. Oh, it's too polite, hehehe..."

"I will pay you back the money in time."

"Ahem, don't worry, use it first, and tell your brother if it's not enough... It doesn't matter if you don't pay it back, it doesn't matter..."

"That can't be done. At that time, the principal and interest will be liquidated together. Don't worry, I won't owe Mr. Deng."

The bald head wore a wig today, and it was blown a little crooked by the wind. Zeyu thought it was funny when he saw it, and reminded him: "Mr. Deng's hairstyle is quite individual."

For some reason, Mr. Deng was embarrassed to admit that he was bald in front of this young man who looked like a banished fairy, so he straightened his wig embarrassingly, and just smiled and said nothing.

The place that Zeyu rented used to be an antique restaurant, and many tables and chairs were ready-made, so he simply bought them together, and after a little modification, he could open it directly.

The first floor is arranged as a hall where many people can dine together, and the second floor is a private room that needs to be reserved, with a miniature landscape of a small bridge and flowing water in the middle, and spacious elegant seats around the four rooms, each of which is decorated in a different style; and as a restaurant The signature medicated meal is also only available to guests in private seats, and only eight servings are sold per day, so this medicated meal is very precious.

Sheng Mingxuan heard that Zeyu's restaurant was about to open, so he was quite curious, so he took the time to visit it.

Zeyu's knowledge of the management of human society is still in the initial stage of learning, and Sheng Mingxuan took care of many things for him. Therefore, to express his gratitude this day, Zeyu specially prepared a whole meal of medicinal meals for him.

When Sheng Mingxuan arrived, he saw that the restaurant was empty and he was the only one. Just as he was about to call Zeyu's name, he saw a thin figure slowly walking down the stairs, and said to him, "Come up and sit down."

Stepping on the wooden stairs made a slight creaking sound, Sheng Mingxuan climbed up to the second floor, and immediately exclaimed at the beautiful scenery in front of him.

"This is really... ingenious."

"It's okay, if the landscape can be arranged outdoors." Zeyu is a child born in a purely natural environment, and he doesn't really appreciate artificially crafted things, so he maximizes the integration of the dining environment with the natural beauty Get up so he looks comfortable.

Entering the so-called private room, Sheng Mingxuan praised him full of praise. Zeyu knew that his praise was sincere, so he didn't stop him, and he could also satisfy his complacency by the way.

The table is not a regular round or square shape, but a huge tree stump made of wood, as if it grew out of the ground.The middle of the table was hollowed out to make a stove, and a casserole was standing on it, bubbling.

"Okay, Mr. Sheng, there's no need to say more polite words, the important thing is to eat."

Ze Yu made a gesture of invitation, and the classical attire matched with the background gave Sheng Mingxuan a sense of time travel.

Speaking of which...Zeyu is a creature that has lived for hundreds of years, perhaps he is no stranger to this antique tone.

Sheng Mingxuan suddenly felt very strange, he never thought that he would eat at the same table with a monster, but when it happened, he was very calm.

It's actually quite comfortable to be with Zeyu for a long time. You don't need to think about what to say to make the other person like it, because it may not be effective if you say it, but it may annoy him. It's better to just stay together quietly like this , Have a meal in peace and tranquility.

Zeyu's cooking naturally satisfies Sheng Mingxuan, and the shock on his face after learning that Zeyu cooked the food himself has not disappeared for a long time. Just as he was about to say something, the curtain at the door was suddenly lifted, Ze Teng Leaning against the door, he said with a half-smile, "Hey, you guys are eating well!"

Immediately afterwards, Tan Chen also showed his head. Seeing Sheng Mingxuan and Zeyu eating alone, he didn't know whether to join them or drag Ze Teng away.

Ze Yu stood up naturally: "Brother, are you back?"

"I just got off the plane and I'm so hungry. I heard you opened a restaurant and I came here to grab a meal." Zeteng walked in and sat down opposite Sheng Mingxuan, "Tsk tsk, I didn't expect that your first meal here was not a treat. Sister-in-law, big brother is too sad..."

Tan Chen kicked him and said to Ze Yu, "I am your brother-in-law."

Zeyu couldn't help but smile, his eyebrows and eyes became lively, "...Yes, bro."
