007. It’s hard to change one’s nature

This made Shao Yongyang laugh. He had been in the business for so long and had never heard of anyone looking for him to be a matchmaker in finding a serious partner. And this person happened to be his buddy who had grown up with him!

When it comes to Wei Yuhuan's romantic affairs, Shao Yongyang can talk about it for three days and three nights without stopping, but it's not the kind of pleasure he gets when gossiping about others. Instead, he grits his teeth and, if necessary, sheds a handful of bitter tears.

Because the Wei and Shao families were close friends and lived close to each other, Shao Yongyang went to kindergarten, elementary school, and middle school with Wei Yuhuan since he was a child...

Originally, the two were equally qualified in all aspects, but in this society where appearance is everything, Shao Yongyang, who was decent looking, was made plain by Wei Yuhuan, who was outstanding in appearance. Moreover, during school, every girl Shao Yongyang liked was Wei Yuhuan's admirer! However, Wei Yuhuan was indifferent to the girls around him, which irritated Shao Yongyang.

He originally thought that Wei Yuhuan had extraordinary self-control. Although he seemed envious and jealous on the surface, he still had some respect for him in private. However, the truth was completely unexpected!

When they were fifteen, they accidentally found a gay movie on a video website. They took it home out of curiosity and found out that there was an uncut sex scene in it. Shao Yongyang felt very embarrassed, but Wei Yuhuan stared at the screen with his eyes wide open, and his breathing became disordered!

At that time, Shao Yongyang was dumbfounded and said: "Fuck, buddy, you are not a f**king gay, are you?"

Wei Yuhuan was stunned for a long while, then slowly said, "...It seems so."

Shao Yongyang almost vomited blood. No wonder this guy has no feelings for women!

And when Shao Yongyang thought about how his unrequited love for so many years had ended in vain and he actually lost to a gay, he felt like vomiting blood!

The matter was not over yet. Wei Yuhuan, who was a fool, did not think that his sexual orientation was shameful at all. He came out to the old man and old lady of the Wei family a few days later. This action naturally did not escape a beating from the pedantic old man Wei. The old lady still could not accept this fact. Over the past ten years, I don’t know how many ways she has tried to get him back on the "right" path.

It would be fine if Wei Yuhuan was an obedient boy, but with such a shrewd and ruthless father and a sinister and gloomy elder brother, how could he be a good person

Since then, this guy has completely become enlightened and has been living a shameless life of hunting for beauties.

Not only does he change partners every now and then, he also often has multiple relationships at the same time, which is simply outrageous...

Shao Yongyang remembered that he once advised him to be more moderate, otherwise he would become impotent before he turned 30. As a result, Wei Yuhuan told him seriously that homosexuals were a minority group with a small range of choices, and he didn't want a straight man. Therefore, he had to be more selective and seize the time to try every type before finding the one that was truly suitable for him.

Shao Yongyang spat out blood again - a playboy is a playboy, why bother looking for a high-sounding excuse, bah!

Moreover, ever since Wei Yuhuan's lifestyle became chaotic, Shao Yongyang seemed to have been put on the Wei family's blacklist, especially Wei Yuhuan's brother. He always suspected that Wei Yuhuan was led astray by him, and every time he saw him, his eyes looked as if he wanted to cut him twice.

Although Shao Yongyang is a person who likes to play with life, the fact that Wei Yuhuan is gay has nothing to do with him!

Do you think he was wronged? Yes, he was wronged!!

In his second year of high school, Wei Yuhuan transferred to study in the UK, and Shao Yongyang temporarily lost contact with him.

As far as Shao Yongyang knows, there were countless young men of the same kind who rushed to be Wei Yuhuan's lovers in the early years. Even now, their charm is not as good as before.

Of course, after this gentlemanly scoundrel returned to China and took over the position of president of Huanyu Group from his brother, he has become much more stable than before. Especially in recent days, the former arrogance and indulgence of his will are rarely seen in him, and he has restrained a lot of his edge.

But no matter what, Shao Yongyang firmly believes in one truth—

It is easy to change the country, but difficult to change one's nature.

So when he heard Wei Yuhuan say "it's not a joke", Shao Yongyang almost laughed out loud, "Oh, then I'll build a stage for you, put up some lights, find a bunch of pretty boys, and have them come in for interviews one by one. If you're not satisfied, turn off the lights. If you're satisfied, just turn it off. I've even thought of a name for this game, it's called 'If You Are the One'..."

"You are making fun of me. I am talking to you seriously." Wei Yuhuan was almost out of breath after hearing what he said.

"Brother, how dare I make fun of you? Let me be serious. If your brother knew that I introduced you to some random bunny, he would skin me alive the next time he saw me!" Shao Yongyang complained bitterly on the other end.

"..." This is true. Wei Hengtian particularly disliked Shao Yongyang. It was he who instructed Wei Yuhuan to hang out with Shao Yongyang.

"Besides, with your looks, do you really need me to find someone to introduce you to a boyfriend?" Shao Yongyang snorted, "I'll teach you another way. Find a rainy day, don't bring an umbrella, and stand in the small square under the China World Trade Center for ten minutes. There will be plenty of elite men and women to help you out. Do you believe it?"

Wei Yuhuan: "I'm not interested in people of the same type as me."

If he liked this kind of people, he would have been together with Li Xiuya a long time ago. After all, Li Xiuya was a graduate student from a prestigious university. Even if she didn't work as his secretary, she wouldn't do too badly if she went out to start her own business.

Hearing the sigh from the other end of the phone, Shao Yongyang finally understood that Wei Yuhuan was worried about something.

"Okay, no matter what you want to do, we haven't seen each other for a long time. Let's go to Zui Xiang Lou at 7 o'clock tonight. Let's talk about it when we meet!"

That night, Wei Yuhuan asked Qi Muying to go with him. They were from the same circle and had played together several times before, so Qi Muying and Shao Yongyang were semi-acquaintances.

When they arrived at Zui Xiang Lou's private room, Shao Yongyang slapped the table and said, "Brother, I will risk my life to accompany you today. Come on, let's drink to our heart's content. Don't leave until you are drunk!"

The three of them ordered a table of dishes and two bottles of high-end foreign wine. They drank and chatted about the gossip that Shao Yongyang knew. The atmosphere was very cheerful.

After three rounds of drinks, Shao Yongyang finally got to the point: "Boss, handsome guy, what kind of person are you interested in? Tell me so I can help you find one."

Wei Yuhuan was a little confused about what to say after being suddenly interrupted by the other party.

He thought about it. He had tried almost all the acceptable types over the years. Thinking back to those days of extravagance when he was young (around 25 years old), he felt boring now. In fact, at the moment, he felt a sense of... exhaustion as if he had experienced so much.

Oh no! He doesn't want to die before he succeeds.

Wei Yuhuan took a sip of wine and tried to think again. As he thought, the image of the little crab slowly emerged in front of him...

Wei Yuhuan, who was 70% drunk, got hot-headed and changed the subject. He angrily told his two friends what happened in Chunjiang Huajing Garden. The protagonist of the story was the culprit who had caused him to be depressed during this period.

But this experience that made Wei Yuhuan depressed seemed like a joke to outsiders.

The two of them held their stomachs and pounded the table. Especially Shao Yongyang, in all these years, he had never seen Wei Yuhuan eat such a big meal, it was really awesome haha!

And unlike Qi Muying, when Wei Yuhuan angrily talked about the illegal invasion of his apartment, Shao Yongyang did not sympathize or get angry at all. Instead, he teased him, "You are a CEO worth hundreds of millions. You have so many apartments. It's okay to leave them empty anyway. What's wrong with giving them to people to live in? I never knew you were so petty!"

Wei Yuhuan was about to explode. He took a sip of liquor, threw the cup on the table, and completely threw away the mask of pretending to be polite: "You know shit!"

Qi Muying patted Wei Yuhuan on the back, signaling him to drink slowly. While recovering from laughing so hard, he gave Shao Yongyang an example: "If you were away for half a year and came home to find a rat infestation, would you immediately buy rat poison and kill them all?"

"Of course!" Shao Yongyang blurted out, not realizing that Qi Muying was setting a trap for him.

Qi Muying continued, "So when you set up the mouse trap and sprinkled rat poison, but found that it was not a mouse, but a cute little white rabbit, what would you do?"

Shao Yongyang reacted a little, curled his lips and said: "I don't like rabbits, I like cats."

Qi Muying: "It's all the same, just a cat, American Shorthair, Ragdoll, Siamese, imagine your favorite breed!"

Shao Yongyang's eyes lit up, revealing an expression of being touched by cuteness: "Catch it, catch it! Raise it! Raise it!"

Qi Muying: "That's it! You carefully cultivated a relationship with someone for a long time, but in the end this vigilant little thing ran away. How do you feel? Are you depressed and disappointed?"

Shao Yongyang clapped his hands: "I understand!"

Qi Muying folded his arms and nodded, this young man is teachable...

Not wanting to continue, Shao Yongyang said excitedly: "Wei Yuhuan, why are you so serious! Why shouldn't you be embarrassed to say that you like small animals! I'll go to the pet store and buy you one someday. What kind do you like? How about a Samoyed? A dog that can smile, so cute~ I guarantee it will heal your heart!"

"Puff..." Qi Muying spat out a mouthful of wine.

Wei Yuhuan was also speechless and didn't want to say any more nonsense to the idiot.

Qi Muying wiped his mouth and reminded him in an unbearable manner: "Wait wait! Brother Shao, isn't the point that the little thief from Wei Yuhuan's family is actually quite good-looking!?"

Wei Yuhuan didn't mention what the little crab looked like when he was talking just now, otherwise Shao Yongyang wouldn't have been unable to figure it out for so long.

Now that Qi Muying, who had seen the photo, had pointed it out to him, Shao Yongyang suddenly realized what was going on. He was stunned for a moment and asked, "Is the thief who escaped very handsome?"

Qi Muying nodded: "He has thick eyebrows and big eyes, and he is pretty and cute."

Shao Yongyang yelled, "Fuck! Wei Yuhuan, you old pervert, I knew you'd never change your ways!"

Wei Yuhuan: “…”

Shao Yongyang took a sip of wine, looked at Qi Muying curiously, and asked, "Are there any photos? No pictures, no truth!"

Qi Muying: “…”

Qi Muying opened his phone and showed Shao Yongyang the photo that Wei Yuhuan had sent him on WeChat. He looked at him with disdain and said, "Why do I remember you were a straight man?"

"Yes, but I'm helping him. I want to see what type he likes so that I can help him find someone." After looking at the photo, Shao Yongyang understood and said to Wei Yuhuan, "He's not that stunning, just an ordinary handsome guy. Your previous lovers were much better looking than this one... OK, OK, stop glaring at me! I promise to find you someone similar, and then I'll let you vent your anger on the bed. If you want to spank me, I'll spank you. If you want to whip me, I'll whip you. Is that all right?"

Wei Yuhuan was stunned, and slowly opened his narrowed eyes. He was actually, actually... shamefully excited~

Qi Muying sighed to the sky, it is true that birds of a feather flock together...

But why would he make friends with such a person?!

Not long after that, Shao Yongyang really found a baby-faced gay girl for Wei Yuhuan.

Wei Yuhuan looked at the photo and felt that they were somewhat similar, which aroused a little interest. He thought about meeting and chatting. Maybe it was because he had never tried the type of small crab that he was so obsessed with it.

A few days later, Wei Yuhuan met the child, but frowned when he saw the child in person - they looked similar in the photo, but there was no resemblance in person at all.

The overall impression a person gives to outsiders must be more than just a face, but also a figure, words and deeds, and personal qualities revealed in conversation. Wei Yuhuan has been monitoring Little Crab for a month. Although he has never heard his voice, he has long been familiar with some small details of his gestures. The casualness, naturalness, and cunningness displayed by Little Crab in daily life are completely incomparable to the fake one in front of him.

Moreover, I don't know if the other party knows that he is cute, but he habitually speaks in a coquettish and cute way. The thing that Wei Yuhuan can't accept the most in his life is being sissy, and he was disgusted to the point of getting goose bumps. He paid the bill and left after sitting for less than half an hour.

Alas, I really shouldn't have listened to Shao Yongyang's bad advice. Originally, he was just depressed because he didn't get what he wanted on that matter. As a result, under the instigation of his bad friends, he thought "it doesn't matter if there are no fish or shrimps", which completely put the cart before the horse.

Wei Yuhuan, ah, Wei Yuhuan, for such a small crab, you are really bewildered and are going backwards!

After some self-reflection, Wei Yuhuan finally calmed down and decided to focus on his life.

He did not find any other lover. He went to get off work from nine to five every day, and went back to his hometown in the evening to eat and sleep, and play chess with his grandfather. Occasionally, when his brother came back, the two brothers would chat about business and go to the basketball court to play bullfighting.

It is said that a prodigal son who returns is worth more than gold. Even Mr. Wei was surprised to see Wei Yuhuan's changed appearance.

Old Mrs. Wei thought that her youngest son had finally grown up, and she was smiling all day long. She asked the nanny to serve him with delicious food and fish, and she also mentioned the daughter of the Zhang family and the niece of the Li family in front of Wei Yuhuan every day.

However, Wei Yuhuan did not give his mother any face and said directly: "Mom, that's enough. I'm telling you, I can't change this. It will be like this for the rest of my life. If you mention this to me again, I won't go home."

Old Mrs. Wei was so angry that she almost smashed the cup and cursed Wei Yuhuan for being a bad person.

"Hey! Old lady, you can't blackmail me like this! Times have changed now. Why do you keep urging me to get married? To have children? Doesn't the eldest brother already take care of the descendants of the Wei family? Besides, you already have two grandchildren, and you still want me to have children. What's the point of having children? To fight for the family property? You can't have your fill while having your fill. People should be content with what they have, right? If you really want to, help me find a young man to live with. Go to the homes of your old girlfriends and poker friends and ask. Maybe someone's son is like me, hiding his son well. If you can dig him out, it will save him from danger. Then he can live with me and I can come back often to offer you tea!"

Mrs. Wei had only said one sentence when Wei Yuhuan responded with ten sentences, using a lot of twisted logic and making her speechless.

Wei Yuhuan didn't finish, and added: "Oh, by the way, mom, your son is a top, a pure number one. You know what this means, right? It means the one who dominates the other man. When you are looking for someone, remember to find someone who is willing to be dominated by me..."

"Bang!" The exquisite peony ceramic hand cup smashed at Wei Yuhuan's feet and broke into pieces in an instant.

Wei Yuhuan let out a cry and ran away.
