Anchor Effect - Chapter 2.2: Such a bad guy

As Yu Xiu swam to the shore, the sound of splashing water gradually died down. The mobile phone next to the towel kept ringing, and he lay on the shore, picked up the mobile phone and looked—it was Dong You again.

"I'll take care of Director Chen first; he still cares about you very much." As if exhorting him once was not enough, Dong You said, "Don't really relax completely; you still need to feel nervous."

"Uncle Dong," Yu Xiu interrupted Dong You, still out of breath, "I wanted to ask you something."

"What?"

"If you are too lazy to walk," Yu Xiu paused, "Will you want to know how to use a wheelchair?"

"What?" Dong You asked inexplicably, "Did you curse me?"

"…No."

"Why are you asking this?"

"Nothing. I'll hang up first."

"No, what I just said…"

Dong You's voice disappeared into the phone.

Yu Xiu kicked his legs off the wall, plunged into the water, and swam a few more times.

The restaurant in the villa stayed open until eight o'clock in the evening, and Yu Xiu specially chose to go when there were few people. Fresh wild large yellow croaker was extremely delicious after simple cooking. It was indeed a delicacy that was difficult to enjoy in inland cities.

The staff of the restaurant packed up the tables and chairs one after another. Yu Xiu didn't stay here for long. Like other guests, he went to the palm house water bar by the beach.

At this time, the sky had completely darkened, and the few guests gathered around the campfire. Yu Xiu was the only guest in the water bar.

He ordered a Mojito, leaned his back against the bar, put his elbows on the bar casually, and looked at the leisurely people not far away. Instead of lifting his feet off the ground, the high stool made his legs look longer.

"Are you on vacation alone?"

Suddenly, someone approached beside him, and Yu Xiu turned his head subconsciously, then saw Ye Yuchen sitting down beside him.

He looked at Ye Yuchen expressionlessly for two seconds, then turned around and sat facing the bar like Ye Yuchen: "Do you want me to come with someone else?"

His tone was not warm at all, but compared to his bad face in the afternoon, it was still a lot more relaxed.

Ye Yuchen chuckled lightly and said, "It's up to you."

The bartender handed over another glass of Mojito and said to Ye Yuchen, "Teacher Ye, your drink."

Ye Yuchen made an "avoid" gesture to the bartender, and the bartender immediately went to the corner of the water bar to wipe the table.

"Teacher?" Yu Xiu repeated what the bartender called.

"That's the popular name now." Ye Yuchen said casually, "Don’t you have anyone who will call you teacher?"

In Yu Xiu's working environment, there are too many people who call him a teacher.

He didn't care about the title anymore and said, "You live on the island."

Ye Yuchen didn't deny it: "What if I am also on vacation?"

Yu Xiu ignored it: "How long have you lived here?"

Naturally, Ye Yuchen would not answer honestly, so he simply changed the subject and talked about the business he came down to find Yu Xiu: "I heard that you have been blocked recently."

Yu Xiu stopped his questioning momentum, took a sip of his wine, and didn't answer.

Ye Yuchen clicked his tongue regretfully and sighed, "You're such a bad guy."

Yu Xiu put down his wine glass, but he was not annoyed: "You pay attention to my news."

It's not a question; it's a statement.

Teacher Ye, who has always been calm, felt guilty for a moment, and said calmly: "We are acquaintances, of course I’ll pay attention to you."

Don’t know how many people who would like to get involved with the Ye family, but Yu Xiu didn't appreciate it: "Are we familiar?"

Now Ye Yuchen turned a deaf ear: "Do you want me to help?"

Yu Xiu looked at Ye Yuchen, as if he wanted to see from his expression what the hell he was planning.

This couldn’t be helped. The two of them hadn't seen each other for eight years, and Ye Yuchen made a big joke with Yu Xiu the moment they met.

"It’s not free help." Ye Yuchen said again.

The abrupt proposal instantly became reasonable, and Yu Xiu was finally willing to ask, "What’s the conditions?"

In fact, Ye Yuchen didn't think about it; he didn't need anything, and he didn't need Yu Xiu to do anything for him.

But if he didn't say that, Yu Xiu would definitely not accept his help.

"Hmm..." He stroked his chin and thought for a while, then suddenly thought of the scene in the swimming pool in the afternoon and said casually, "Come to my room at night?"

Hearing the meaning of Ye Yuchen's words, Yu Xiu immediately frowned, and even his eyes turned cold.

This reaction was exactly as Ye Yuchen expected; he couldn't help but want to laugh, but felt that it was inappropriate, so he raised the wine glass to his lips, hiding his smile behind the glass.

Next, Yu Xiu would definitely leave with a bad face—at least Ye Yuchen thought so.

So when he heard Yu Xiu say "OK," he held up his wine glass and thought for a moment whether he had an auditory hallucination.

"What?" Ye Yuchen asked uncertainly.

"I agree." Yu Xiu stood up from the high stool, his eyes were unpredictable, "What time do I need to go to your room?"
