Chapter 76: and translation of title, then ===GLOSSARY=== with list of named entities appearing in these lines, using exact English

What are you thinking? Besides, this isn't my home.

If it's not your home, why are you still refusing to leave?

Liuli asked back.

I just like being a third wheel, is that not okay?

Fine, how could it not be okay? Liuli looked up and saw Cheng Li's figure.

Look, who's come?

Liuli whispered.

Zihan went to look, and upon seeing Cheng Li, she wanted to hide; she didn't know how she had become so timid.

Don't be timid, Zihan; when you previously confessed to Cheng Li with great confidence, it wasn't like this.

Liuli teased.

When Zihan previously confessed to Cheng Li, she actually didn't like him much; it was just a fondness, and then she happened to help Gu Die, so she confessed.

But who would have thought, Cheng Li directly rejected her, and she had never been rejected before.

Later, she truly came to like him, and pursuing him was just for herself.

She wanted to be with him.

Toward the person she likes, especially Cheng Li, she is timid.

How does my outfit look?

Zihan whispered the question in Liuli's ear.

It's fine.

Liuli encouraged, although she also thought Zihan's outfit was a bit too revealing.

Cheng Li, you've come!

Liuli saw Zihan didn't dare step forward, so she gave her a push; Zihan could only steel herself and speak to Cheng Li.

Hmm.

Cheng Li nodded.

Liuli, how have you been these days?

As expected, Cheng Li's first question was about Liuli, which was already within Zihan's expectations.

If it weren't to see Liuli, he might not have come to the Gu Family, and might not have come to look for her.

I'm doing quite well.

Liuli laughed and pulled Zihan over.

Cheng Li just wanted to ask whether Liuli had rested well these days; Gu Qing's funeral had also been arranged together by Liuli and Gu Die.

You're here to find Zihan, right? Go out and have fun!

Liuli again pushed Zihan toward Cheng Li.

I…

Cheng Li was stunned, not knowing what to say.

I'll go upstairs to see Gu Die; you two just chat.

After saying that, Liuli gave Zihan a look and then ran upstairs.

Zihan could only awkwardly look at Cheng Li.

Have you eaten?

Zihan finally managed to speak.

The moment she asked the question, she felt she had asked a foolish question.

What time is it now? Is she asking if he had breakfast or lunch?

I want to go shopping; will you come?

Zihan quickly changed the topic, seeing Cheng Li's expression, it seemed he was really thinking about how to answer whether he had eaten.

I can go anywhere; if you want to go, I'll accompany you.

Zihan realized he meant accompanying her.

Okay.

Zihan didn't know what to buy while shopping, so she just wandered aimlessly.

And Cheng Li, as a boy, hadn't really gone shopping much either, and also didn't know what to buy.

How come you're dressed like that today?

Cheng Li had wanted to ask that question for a while, but still hadn't spoken up.

Zihan wore so little, with a good figure, and every passing guy stared at her.

This made Cheng Li feel very uneasy.

What's wrong with how I'm dressed? Isn't it nice?

Zihan's heart rose to her throat; this outfit was picked by Yu Ke, who even praised it as nice.

Not nice.

Cheng Li replied coldly.

I think it's still quite nice.

Zihan asked, puzzled.

I'll go ahead for a bit; you wait here for me.

Okay.

Cheng Li hurried off, not knowing what he was doing, and Zihan waited and waited, feeling as if Cheng Li had abandoned her.

Good thing Cheng Li came to wait for her; otherwise she really would have thought it was because she wasn't dressed nicely that he abandoned her.

Cheng Li picked up a thin jacket and, without a word, draped it over Zi Han.

Zi Han saw the jacket was still new and wondered, "Did he just go buy clothes for her?"

But this jacket really isn't very nice-looking.

"Don't wear so little next time."

Cheng Li's face turned red after he said that.

Zi Han felt happy upon hearing that; he wasn't saying she dressed poorly, but that he didn't like her wearing so little.

Zi Han only felt a surge of possessiveness, needless to say how happy she was.

"Okay, I won't wear it next time."

"Will there be a next time?"

Cheng Li retorted.

"Of course there will be a next time!"

Upon hearing Zi Han's words, Cheng Li's face turned cold.

"Next time I'll only wear it for you to see; from now on I'll only wear it for you—do you think that works?"

Zi Han asked.

Cheng Li's face grew even redder, and Zi Han thought he was getting cuter and cuter.

"This is what you said; from now on you may only wear it for me to see."

Cheng Li stroked her head and said.

"Okay."

Zi Han happily nodded and secretly took Cheng Li's hand.

Cheng Li didn't let go, only allowing her to hold his hand.

"Is your boss in?"

Yu Ke arrived at Bai Se Jiu Ba looking for Bai Xu.

"May I ask what you need? If you have something, tell us and we can help you resolve it; our boss is quite busy."

The waiter explained.

"Nothing much, I'm his friend and wanted to see him."

The waiter only thought she was the boss's friend; if she came, she could tell the boss directly, but the boss didn't know she was coming.

Besides, aside from Young Master Gu, they had never seen Bai Xu have any other friends.

Usually many people pretend to be Bai Xu's friends; they are young ladies who have taken a liking to Bai Xu and come to the bar to find him.

But it's not easy to see him face-to-face, so they can only make an excuse and ask the waiter, claiming to be Bai Xu's friend.

The waiter is used to such things and therefore won't readily believe claims of being the boss's friend.

"Our boss isn't in the shop today; if you have anything, we can relay it for you."

The waiter said tactfully.

"Oh, is that so."

Yu Ke nodded in understanding.

"Hey, Bai Xu, where are you? I'm at the bar and I don't see you."

Upon hearing Yu Ke was calling Bai Xu, the waiter was stunned, wondering if she really was the boss's friend!

If she were to say something, his job could be at risk.

"I'm already at the bar; how do you have time to come? Alone?"

Bai Xu's voice came from the other end of the phone.

"How can the people in your shop say you're not here? Are you actually here or not?"

Yu Ke asked irritably.

"I'm here, I'm coming right away."

After Bai Xu said that, Yu Ke hung up the phone with a click.

"Sorry, miss, we didn't know you were really the boss's friend."

"Don't I look like it?"

Yu Ke retorted.

"No, miss, it's just that our boss has too many romantic entanglements; people often claim to be his friend to trick him into meeting, when they actually don't know him, so we've become wary, otherwise we'd cause the boss trouble."

The waiter explained, fearing Yu Ke might speak ill of him in front of Bai Xu.

"You're also quite sensible; good, this is the right way to do it, but from now on when you see me, you don't need to hide anything from me!"

"Okay, miss."

The waiter replied.

Yu Ke really felt the waiters did a good job, directly turning away those girls, which gave her more opportunities.

As soon as Bai Xu arrived, he saw the waiter standing respectfully beside Yu Ke.

"Don't bully my people."

Bai Xu said to Yu Ke.

"How am I bullying anyone?! Ask him yourself if I've bullied him!"

Yu Ke complained, as soon as Bai Xu came up he accused her of bullying others.

Is Su Yu Ke really that kind of person?

"Boss, we made a mistake; this miss is indeed your friend, it's already good that she doesn't blame me, and it's even less likely she'd accuse me of bullying."

The waiter explained again.

Go ahead and get busy; if anyone bullies you, come find me.

Okay, thank you, boss.

The waiter walked away with a smile on their face.

Yu Ke thought Bai Xu's earlier words were so overbearing; it turns out he treats staff this well, too—having a boss like him must be from good deeds in a past life.

I keep saying I didn't bully anyone, okay?

Yu Ke asked.

I was just joking; you actually believed me?

Bai Xu laughed, and as he did, her heart pounded uncontrollably, unable to stop.

Why are you still blushing? Are you angry?

Bai Xu saw Yu Ke's face red as an apple, leaned in to ask, and her face reddened further, to the point she didn't dare breathe.

What am I angry about? Don't look. I just……

It's just that my heart is beating too fast.

What's wrong with that?

Bai Xu asked curiously.

Yu Ke slapped his head hard; her racing heart and apple‑red face were all because he smiled at her.

Why hit me? What did I do wrong?

Bai Xu rubbed his head and asked, feeling wronged.

It's just that you look like you need a beating, okay?

Fine, my grandaunt, why not? What do you want from me?

Bai Xu even forgot to ask why Yu Ke had come to see him.

Can't I come see you if there's nothing? I'm just bored, came to look.

Oh, I thought you came specially to see me.

Bai Xu teased.

Don't be so narcissistic!

I am indeed very narcissistic; I think I'm this handsome—how could I not be?

Ugh, I feel like throwing up.

Don't throw up on me again.

What do you mean 'again'……

Yu Ke was about to ask when she remembered that, because Liuli had gotten drunk, she had hugged Bai Xu and vomited.

What, you don't remember?

Bai Xu laughed.

Yu Ke slapped Bai Xu's head hard again.

Why hit me again?

Bai Xu looked aggrieved but couldn't retaliate.

Don't smile at me!

She was about to go crazy; whenever he smiled, her heart raced, and she had no resistance to his smile.

Is it wrong for me to smile?

Yes!

Then if I don't smile, is that not okay?

Anyway, don't smile at me, or I'll hit you.

You're really harsh—you won't even let people laugh.

Waiter, bring a drink!

Yu Ke shouted.

What are you drinking? As a girl, you'd better not, or you'll end up like last time.

Bai Xu said.

Yu Ke glared at him fiercely.

What, what I said isn't right?

Waiter, bring two drinks!

Don't drink and vomit again.

Waiter, bring three drinks!

Whenever Bai Xu says something she doesn't want to hear, she adds another cup of wine; besides, she doesn't pay anyway.

Fine, if you can't finish it, I'll help you drink.

Bai Xu gave Yu Ke a doting smile.
