Applaud for Happiness

Chapter 27

Shen Qi was confused. He stared at the black screen to the point where his eyes were about to pop out. What was happening? He hadn’t even finished his sentence yet! He was ready to shed two tears. How come the screen went black?

So, he’s been hung up?

He was dumped…?

Shen Qi suddenly stood up from the bathtub. But due to his lack of attention, just as he stood up, he slipped and fell backwards. The back of his head hit the wall with a thud, his arms and legs knocked on the edge of the bathtub, and his phone fell into the water with a bang.

He couldn’t care less about the phone. His head was in pain after the fall. His vision went black for a few seconds, and his head buzzed. It took him a long time to recover, grimacing in pain, his whole face scrunched up together.

I @#$%

Not caring about the pain, the first thing he needed to do was to curse in the direction of Lu Zhuo’s room.

How has he offended him? Everything was going well. Why did he hang up on the phone?

He was speaking so sincerely, and was conveying his emotions clearly. Yet, he was suddenly hung up.

Shen Qi was both frustrated and angry. He was not pretending to be angry. He spent so long trying to win the favor of Elder Lu and giving everything up to chase after the male protagonist. He even went as far as having PS 1 with him. How dare he hang up the phone?

Great, how wonderful.

Shen Qi’s anger was stirred up. Although he had previously openly and secretly flirted with Lu Zhuo, in reality, he did not invest too much of his sincerity. Compared to Jiang Changshen, whom he liked around 50%, he only liked Lu Zhuo by 30%. This was less than his love for Elder Lu and Uncle Shen, and most of it was because of his face.

But now, his interest has been piqued instead.

This wasn’t the only reason; however, it was his last straw. He could tell that Lu Zhuo didn’t really like him that much. Not mentioning other things, it can be seen just by looking at the happiness value. Three months have passed, but the happiness value only went up twenty points. Fifteen of which are because he eased Lu Zhuo’s relationship with Master Lu, giving him only five points. There was no further progress after the hot pot incident.

Even though they did PS yesterday and provoked his lust, it didn’t raise his happiness value by half a point.

It went up just now, but it decreased again.

He has successfully caught his attention.

Shen Qi loves to challenge obstacles. The harder the trouble, the more he likes it. He originally somewhat liked him, but now it has increased to 50%.

After rubbing his head, he came out of the bathtub, and finally had an idea in his mind.

The next day, he woke up early as usual. He applied everything he learned to his life, smiling at everyone he saw. No one could see his love crisis. Besides, he is

Because Shen Qi’s phone is not from the latest generation, it is not water resistant. After dropping it into the water, the phone stopped working. However, he did not say anything about it since he doesn’t know anyone, and he doesn’t need a phone right now. Besides, he is busy these days and doesn’t have the time to play.

The next day was Master Shen’s birthday banquet. Preparations have already begun. Everyone in the villa is busy. Lu Zhuo and Lu Jun also stopped working to be at home. Relatives who live far away came to the villa early in the morning. Shen Qi was greeting guests beside Elder Lu, and suppressed all of his other thoughts, smiling while greeting guests.

For some reason, Lu Zhuo never left his room, except when he greeted his elders.

Shen Qi knew in his heart that he was Samuel. Yet Shen A’ Qi does not know. So he only sincerely smiled at Lu Zhuo and greeted him.

But Lu Zhuo only looked at him and nodded in silence before leaving. Unlike before, he would at least say a few words to him. It was as if he had returned to the time when they first met.

His cold attitude fell on the hearts of several relatives, each having their own opinion.

Shen Qi was too busy following Master Lu’s side exchanging pleasantries with the others, but it was Lu Jun who took a look at Lu Zhuo and frowned. She remembered seeing the wilted Shen Qi early in the morning.

The old man’s birthday banquet was a success, and introducing Shen Qi’s new status was also very successful. There was no one who wanted to oppose Shen Qi, or any of those cliche plots of relatives trying to be condescending. There wasn’t even any gossip about him behind his back. Everyone was nice to him and wanted to friend him on Weibo, but once they knew he dropped his phone in water, they left their phone numbers instead.

Several close relatives of the Lu family did not leave immediately, especially the younger juniors. They were left behind to be filial to Elder Lu.

Lu Zhuo was cold to everyone, even his cousins. His cousins were also very scared of him, so in front of him, they were all very obedient. Yet behind his back, they were yelling about bringing Shen Qi to nightclubs and horse races to broaden his horizons.

Shen Qi was smiling bashfully, as if he couldn’t reject it. He kept saying no, yet his body stayed with them. In two days, they were already familiar with each other.

What? Samuel?

Wasn’t he dumped? Since he was heartbroken, he should go out to drink and play to vent his feelings.

Maybe he will meet someone else. So what if they broke up? Those who don’t experience heartbreak cannot be called a man!

With Shen Qi’s insight, in a few days, he could already distinguish the true character of these cousins. Of the three male cousins and two female cousins, other than one with a crooked mind, the others were okay. Since they were all around 17, their maturity couldn’t be any better.

Shen Qi was not too old, so he could easily mingle with them. Elder Lu also said to play with them more often. It seemed as though he wanted to let them bring Shen Qi around to get more experience in the outside world.

So, for half a month, Shen Qi had already taken a trip to horse races, golf competitions, casinos, and nightclubs.

He had a major glow up. Compared to before, he became more confident and carefree. Before, he was inwardly carefree, now his expressions were all on his face. He now wouldn’t blush when teased or become bashful.

If one were to say that he was like a flower that bloomed in spring, now he was like a branch that grew up, full of vitality.

That night, Shen Qi and his two young cousins came back from the nightclub. Since they weren’t too close, he did not reveal his sexuality in front of these people. But fortunately, the two were not completely playboys; they had their own boundaries. So they only brought him to drink and dance.

Shen Qi was older, so he wanted to take the two. Therefore, he did not drink too much, while the other two were drunk to the point they could not walk straight. He could only support one in each arm. They stumbled to the door. Because it was too late and all of the servants were asleep, he did not want to wake them up. He could only accompany them to the guest rooms. Fortunately, the guest rooms were on the first floors, or they would have woken the others up.

The guest room building and the main building were connected by a long corridor. On one side of the corridor was a transparent window, which directly faced the garden. In the middle of the corridor was also a door.

Shen Qi walked, suddenly stopped in his tracks.

“Brother..Lu…”

Outside the glass door window was a white swing chair. It was said that the mother of Lu Zhuo and Lu Jun arranged the placement. The flowers around the swing chair were also planted by her.

At that time, there was a person sitting on the swing chair, silent, just looking at him. It was Lu Zhuo.

Shen Qi had a sudden idea. He reached out and pushed the door open, but did not walk out. Instead, he stood by the door: “Brother Lu, why are you still awake?”

His face showed some discomfort. He was not waiting for him, right?

Perhaps it is because of the light, half of Lu Zhuo was hidden in the dark, making him look a little gloomy. His gaze was also cold. He moved his hand from his lap and patted the seat next to him: “Sit.”

It was obviously the hottest month of summer, but Shen Qi felt a little cold. He wanted to find an excuse to leave, but after meeting the other party’s gaze, he could only walk over with a stiff head.

“Are you looking for me for something?”

Just as he stood in front of the swing, a hand grabbed and pulled him in. He fell right onto Lu Zhuo’s lap.

The other party was still not satisfied. He moved his knee, and placed one hand on Shen Qi’s waist while using the other to pry Shen Qi’s thighs apart, immediately making Shen Qi straddle Lu Zhuo.

This series of familiar actions…

Shen Qi was dazed but quickly came to his senses, shocked and panicked: “Brother… Brother Lu…”

The hand on his waist tightened his hold. Shen Qi’s stiff body moved forward. The two bodies were tightly close together. He smelled a faint smell of smoke.

“Call me brother.”

Lu Zhuo’s voice was low and seemed to be sneering, “Don’t you like to call me that?”

He pinched Shen Qi’s chin and looked straight at him, satisfied with the shock that filled his eyes. His fingers caressed his neck, then gradually went down his throat, collarbone, chest…

Didn’t you say you wanted me to touch you? What? You don’t like it? How about here? Or here? “

“What, you like touching yourself, but you don’t like it when I touch you?”

“Did you forget who screamed so loudly? Huh?”

“You, you are Samuel?” Shen Qi looked incredulous, “You are Samuel? How can you be Samuel?“

The hand squeezing his chest was slightly hard: “Why can’t I be?”

Shen Qi didn’t care about the pain and numbness. The fact that Lu Zhuo was Samuel completely occupied his entire thoughts. His mouth was half-opened, thinking back to all the things he had done before. It took him half a day2 before he came back to his senses.

His face turned red, then white, then red again before finally calming down and slapping away Lu Zhuang’s hand: “Let go.” He struggled to get up.

Lu Zhuo’s big hands seemed like iron pincers, firmly clasped on his waist, so that he could not move: “Don’t move!”

“Let go!” Shen Qi’s eyes were red, and he was glaring at him fiercely. His mind was in turmoil, and he didn’t know what to do.

Seeing this, Lu Zhuo suddenly sighed and reached out to caress the top of his head. His voice softened: “Behave, if you move again, I can’t guarantee what will happen next.”

Shen Qi instantly froze.

Lu Zhuo’s expression became strange: “Do you not like it? I remember you do not like this type. ” A smile appeared in his eyes. “Did you forget who said they would have a date with me?”

At this moment, Shen Qi wanted to stuff himself back into the pot and self-destruct. 3 Who let you ramble! Now he’s running into danger! Internet dating is a scam!

Lu Zhuo saw his upset expression, and laughed without any aloofness. His finger rubbed against his cheek, his eyes full of amusement: “So you know how to be shy? Who was it that drooled when they saw my body? Didn’t you say you wanted to touch it as well? I’m right in front of you. Do you want to try and touch me?“

“You, you…” Shen Qi’s face changed, almost twisted. “So you’re that old virgin!” he gritted his teeth as his mind flashed.

Lu Zhuo:…
