[The Past]

After chatting with Sherwin, Cole Wu understands it thoroughly.

Hardships will pass eventually.

The new dwelling represents his new journey in life.

Undoubtedly, he loves Tye Zhang and is reluctantly to part with him. But this doesn't mean he can choose to beg for love.

Kneeling is too hideous.

This is not something he is capable of.

He goes back to Tye Zhang's home and packs up his belongings. He moves out from there.

Chaz Wu is unwilling to see him leave.

"Brother, don't do this. I swear, I was just kidding...I won't do this again, ok?"

After Cole Wu packing up his luggage, he says expressionlessly, "It's time that you grew up. You should try to do some things on your own. I'm not leaving only because of you. Don't think too much...You stay here and work hard. Make more progress. Don't let Mom and Dad worry about you."

Tye Zhang has been living with his parents because of the foot injury, so he is not here at the moment.

"But how am I going to live without you! You have no idea how I spent the past few days without you. I don't know how to cook, so I had to order takeaways or eat out...I got up late every morning, so I didn't have time to eat breakfast...Life is so hard without you, bother. I'm ready exhausted!" Chaz Wu approaches Cole Wu with grievances. He grabs his arm and leans against him lovingly, and saying, "Brother, you've been taking care of me since childhood...You can't just leave me alone. I can't live without you."

"...Yes, you can. It's just that you will be having hardships for a while." Cole Wu signs. He pats Chaz Wu on his head. There's still love in his eyes.

He says, "Chaz, you have to be independent and learn how to live by yourself."

"I'm your brother, not your servant. If I stay only for providing you with a better and more convenient life...You might as well hire a housekeeper."

Chaz Wu stays in Tye Zhang's home alone. On thinking of the scenes where his brother was leaving without the least hesitation, he feels grieved and distressed.

After taking a few buses, Cole Wu finally moves in to his new home with his luggage.

However, his roommate surprises him!

"Evan...It's you?"

His roommate is Evan Xie from Group One. Unbelievable!

They are colleagues in the same department of the same company!

"What a coincidence!" Evan Xie is also surprised. He walks over to help Cole Wu put his luggage down on the floor. He says, "Great! From now on, we are not only colleagues, but also roommates! Hahaha...Follow me. This is your room...Here is the kitchen...We've got two toilets, so we don't have to scramble for the toilet..."

"This is such a great place. I like it!"

Evan Xie is talkative and out-going. After getting to know him more, Cole Wu likes him very much.

Although they met each other a lot in the company, they are not in the same group after all, so they didn't have much contact and were only bowing acquaintances with each other.

In the future, they will have more time to communicate with each other!

"To welcome my new roommate, I'd like to invite you to have a drink in the bar! It's my treat. The bar is on the neighboring street. It's not far away from here. Let's go have some fun. We'll be back soon." Evan Xie says passionately.

It is difficult to refuse such kindness, so Cole Wu can only agree to go.

"Ok. But it can't be too late. I have to work tomorrow." Cole Wu says.

"Sure!"

The bar has a corny name. It's called "Colour of Night".

"What would you like to drink? It's on me." Evan Xie is wearing only casual clothes, but he radiates a glamorous sense of languor.

He is a mature man who is very charming in age, mind, and behaviors.

"I'll pass. I'm afraid to get drunk."

Cole Wu declines.

He still hasn't adapted himself to the noise in the bar. The tumultuous music in it is not enjoyable at all. On the contrary, it annoys him.

"You come to a bar but you don't drink? Interesting." Evan Xie shakes his head and smiles. He orders two glasses of sweet wine and gives one of them to Cole Wu, saying, "This won't get you drunk. My treat."

"...Thank you." Cole Wu takes a sip. He feels that it actually tastes good, so he no longer resists.

"Wanna dance?" Evan Xie suddenly whispers to Cole Wu.

"..." Cole Wu is reluctant to be this close to him! His body becomes stiff. He dodges instinctively and replies, "I don't know how to dance."

"Why are you so afraid of me? I won't eat you." Evan Xie laughs loudly on seeing Cole Wu's reaction. He takes off his coat and throws it to Cole Wu, saying with his eyes blinking, "I'm really good at dancing. I'll show you."

Evan Xie suddenly jumps onto the stage and starts to dance madly to the music. Cole Wu puts down the glass and watches Evan Xie attentively. Even if he is a man, he blushes on seeing the sexy and enchanting body of Evan Xie.

His clothes are unbuttoned little by little and his sexy chest and collarbones are partly hidden and partly visible because of the exaggerated movements, making the audience extremely excited.

Many men and women under the stage are madly screaming and shouting "Bravo" for the shining Evan Xie on the stage.

At the outermost layer of the crowd, a long-haired man in Tang suit and willow leaf-shaped glasses is staring at Evan Xie, who is dancing sexily on the stage. His face is like a black charcoal and his month is lightly closed all the time. Suddenly, he smiles coldly.

For Cole Wu, it is unimaginable that Evan Xie is so uninhibited in private.

"Have I scared you?" Evan Xie jumps off the stage and comes back to Cole Wu. He smiles leisurely.

Cole Wu takes a sip of wine to hold back his surprise.

"No. It's just...I can't believe my eyes."

"Get used to it. People living in this city are all multi-dimensional. They are sanctimonious in front of others, and debauched and decadent in private..." Evan Xie mocks himself with a smile. He puts on his coat and drinks up the wine in his glass, saying, "You are still young and haven't been through any hardships in life, and you haven't been oppressed by bigwigs either. So you don't know what is "linger on with your last breath even if death is better than being alive". Remember, bro...Life is short. Enjoy it! This should be the top priority! Hah hah hah...I feel like I'm misguiding a child."

Cole Wu is silent. He knows a little bit about what he just said.

The co-tenancy with Evan Xie has been going well.

Evan Xie is efficient and able. He always does things vigorously and effectively and knows what he wants in life. Sometimes, he will give him guidance and feed him with some chicken soup for soul.

His work is as usual. He and Chaz Wu work in the same company, which means they are bound to see much of each other. Sometimes it's quite awkward.

Of course...Tye Zhang has been following him as always. His feet are almost recovered. At least, he can move more freely now.

"Cole, come with me."

The group leader Jake Xu suddenly asks Cole Wu to come with him!

Tye Zhang follows as well, of course.

"The Xiao's suddenly appoints you to handle the brand cooperation case with full authority! How do you think? Are you okay with it?"

Before Cole Wu gets to speak, Tye Zhang blows up!

"What? Fayer Xiao, you lunatic! What does he want? Cole, you can't agree! That man is a lunatic. He will put you in a dreadful situation!"

"..." Cole Wu looks at Tye Zhang coldly and says provocatively, "Not a big deal, sir."
