How can a substitute top have feelings? (MTL)

Chapter 38 Photo Follow-up

"Old Xie, what trouble did they... cause?"

　　When Qi Zheng came back from the bathroom, he passed by the balcony and saw Xie Chenyou talking to the two brothers of the Bai family with a cold expression. Because Xie Chenyou never gets too warm to anyone, others may think this is his normal attitude.

　　But as a good friend of many years, Qi Zheng could see at a glance that there was a hint of anger and impatience in Lao Xie's coldness.

　　Qi Zheng wanted to ask at that time, but there was a dance party next, and there were too many people and it was noisy, so he couldn't find the opportunity. After the party was over, he sat in Xie Chenyou's car and brought up the matter.

　　The driver started the car and slowly drove away from the hillside villa area.

　　Xie Chenyou picked up a computer from the back seat and said, "They secretly took a photo of me kissing someone at a tourist attraction."

　　Qi Zheng: "???"

　　Qi Zheng: "!"

　　Qi Zheng, who claimed to be a hundred times calmer than Liu Henian, almost jumped out of his seat in shock.

　　Is this still a candid photo shoot?

　　Isn't the point that Mr. Xie kissed someone in public at a tourist attraction?!

　　You know, last Spring Festival, he, Liu Henian, Lao Xie and Zhang Qianyu had a party. Qianyu wanted to kiss Lao Xie in front of everyone, but Lao Xie refused. He and Lao Liu even laughed and said that Lao Xie was too reserved.

　　But such a reserved person can actually kiss people in public at tourist attractions!

　　Xie Chenyou shifted his gaze from the computer screen to look at Qi Zheng, whose heart was beating like a drum and whose breathing was as heavy as a cow, without saying a word.

　　Qi Zheng: "...I'm sorry I was too excited."

　　Xie Chenyou withdrew his gaze and continued writing the program.

　　Qi Zheng suddenly said: "That..."

　　"explain."

　　Qi Zheng: "The Bai brothers should have secretly photographed you and your first girlfriend, right?"

　　Xie Chenyou responded: "Yeah."

　　Qi Zheng felt that the cat named "curiosity" in his heart suddenly awakened. Not only did it meow, but it also scratched him with its sharp claws because it couldn't get any food. It didn't hurt, but it was very itchy.

　　He finally understood Liu Henian's feelings - isn't it really frustrating to be like Old Xie?

　　The car dropped Xie Chenyou off downstairs, and Qi Zheng got out with him.

　　Xie Chenyou paused and leaned over to look at him. Qi Zheng laughed awkwardly, "Since it was secretly photographed, in addition to the photos on the phone, there must be backups on the computer, network disk, and cloud. I'm not good at writing algorithms, but I'm very skilled at cracking firewalls... As the saying goes, 'A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall.' We can't let him keep these photos. Delete them all."

　　Xie Chenyou started walking again, and Qi Zheng immediately trotted over and kept pace with him.

　　In the study, two computer science masters were each facing a computer with a pure black coding box in front of them. As they input a series of codes, they finally clicked 'run' and the data flow began to surge.
