"She really has nothing to do with me."

Liu Qi's legs went weak from the kiss. He hadn't thought about their relationship at all. Even if they were related, what did it have to do with him?

"oh."

"You still don't believe me?" Ho King-sun's face showed an unprecedented level of tension.

"Xin, why don't you go and greet that girl first? It's not good to leave a girl standing there unattended."

He Jingshen leaned against the wardrobe door, waiting for him, "After you change your clothes, we'll go out together."

Seeing that He Jingshen remained motionless, Liu Qi didn't want to provoke him further, lest he suffer the consequences. He quickly changed his clothes.

They came out one after the other, sat down to eat, and Liu Qi got up to pour a glass of milk for the girl who was sitting there waiting obediently.

Yang Qianqian smiled at him and said, "Thank you."

Liu Qi smiled politely at her. He Jingshen, seeing him smile at someone else, held up a piece of bread in front of his face to show his displeasure.

He Jingshen said coldly, "Miss Yang, what brings you here to see me?"

"Did my grandfather send you?"

Seeing his cold face, Yang Qianqian nervously explained, "No... Grandpa He... asked me to come."

“Brother Shen...it was...I...who decided to...come to find you.”

Liu Qi looked at the nervous Yang Qianqian, poured her a glass of water and handed it to her, "Miss Yang, have some water, take a deep breath, don't be nervous."

He Jingshen frowned as he looked at the two of them. He already felt uncomfortable seeing him smile at her, and now he was even showing concern for her.

"Are you going to eat breakfast or not? If not, let's go to the hospital."

Liu Qi glanced at He Jingshen, thinking He Jingshen was signaling him to make room for him. He stuffed the bread into his mouth in big bites, finished his milk, and then got up, grabbed his phone, and left.

He Jingshen held Liu Qi's hand and smiled gently, "Let's do it together."

Liu Qi looked at him with a puzzled expression, then glanced at the girl beside him whose face didn't look too good.

He awkwardly pulled his hand away from Ho King-sun's, "No need, I can handle my sister by myself. You should stay and keep this pretty sister company."

He Jingshen pulled Liu Qi into his arms and kissed him on the cheek.

"Sweetie, I'll come find you soon after I've sorted things out here."

Yang Qianqian, who was drinking water to relieve her tension, was so startled by their actions that she dropped her water glass.

She saw her idol, Brother Shen, kissing a man. She rubbed her eyes, thinking she was just hallucinating from nervousness.

"Shen...brother...are you kissing...him?"

Liu Qi was stunned when He Jingshen kissed his cheek in front of outsiders. Before he could react, He Jingshen put his arm around his waist, brought his stomach close to his, and kissed his pink lips.

"That's what it means to kiss him."

He Jingshen then said gently to Liu Qi, "Baby, your sister is waiting for you at the hospital. Go quickly, I'll be there in a bit."

Upon hearing the word "sister," Liu Qi snapped out of his daze. He didn't want to explain anything, nor did he have the right to explain the relationship between the two of them.

He glanced at Yang Qianqian, then left the apartment helplessly. Sitting in the car, he bit his lip, wondering why she had kissed him in front of others. Was she using him as a shield?

But he needs a shield, so why doesn't he find a woman? The two men are being all lovey-dovey in front of others, what's going on?

He has no hope of finding a partner in this lifetime, but with his senior's family background and looks, he will definitely be able to find an excellent partner.

I'll wait until my sister recovers, then quickly find a way to pay back my senior.

Now he can find a job to save some money and pay back as much as he can.

In the apartment, Ho King-sun had Yang Si-si sit on the sofa while he cleaned up the broken glass on the floor.

He Jingshen confessed to Yang Qianqian, "Ms. Yang, as you saw today, I have someone I like. Don't waste your time on me."

“But…Brother Shen, he…is a man.”

Yang Qianqian felt that He Jingshen was only resorting to this tactic to reject her.

She felt he definitely wouldn't like men, after all, he had dated women before.

How could one's sexual orientation change so drastically all at once?

"It's a guy, so what? I like him, that's all that matters."

Yang Qianqian said awkwardly, "Brother Shen, I know you just said that on a whim because you thought it was new."

"Once the novelty wears off, you'll definitely go back to normal."

“Normal?” He Jingshen said coldly, “Miss Yang, you’ve lived abroad for so many years, you shouldn’t find the attraction between men abnormal, right?”

"Miss Yang, is there anything else? If not, I'll arrange for a driver to take you to the airport."

He Jingshen got up, took out his phone, and prepared to arrange for a driver to take Yang Qianqian to the airport.

Yang Qianqian boldly stood up and hugged him. "Brother Shen, I won't leave. I like you. Even if you like him, it doesn't matter. I'm willing to wait until you don't like him anymore."

He Jingshen pulled away Yang Qianqian's hands that were wrapped around his waist, pushed her away with disgust, and said coldly, "Don't wait anymore, Miss Yang. Even if I don't like him anymore, I won't be with you."

He knew his own heart; once it was moved, it wouldn't change. Besides, how could he easily let go of the prey he had set his sights on?

"Brother Shen, why? Is there something wrong with me? I can change."

"It's not that you're not good enough, it's that he's too good, no one can compare."

Ho King-sun didn't want to explain anything anymore, because he knew that no matter what he said, it wouldn't change the fact that he was indifferent to others.

After seeing Yang Qianqian off, He Jingshen went to the hospital. When he entered the ward, he saw Liu Qi asleep by the bedside.

He approached him with a look of tenderness and lowered his head to kiss him.

The moment Yang Qianqian boarded the plane, He Jingshen knew what kind of storm he was about to face.

Ho King-sun reluctantly bid farewell to Lau Kei and returned to China to resolve his affairs.

When he returned to the He family's old house, he saw Yang Qianqian sitting next to her grandfather, chatting and laughing.

When Yang Qianqian saw He Jingshen, she immediately ran to his side and took his arm.

"Brother Shen, you're back."

He Jingshen frowned, about to push her away, but she held him tightly. She stood on tiptoe and whispered in his ear:

"Brother Shen, you probably don't want Grandpa He to harm the person you like, do you?"

Ho King-sun frowned.

"I can cover for you."

"From now on, you just need to cooperate with me."

Seeing that he didn't refuse her, Yang Qianqian kissed his cheek.

Grandpa He looked at them with a gratified expression, "Jing Shen, Qian Qian, come here."

Yang Qianqian pulled He Jingshen to his grandfather's side. He Jingshen looked at his grandfather, guessing that she hadn't told him about his relationship with Liu Qi.

He shook off Yang Qianqian's hand from his arm and said, "Grandpa, I'm a little tired. I'll go back and rest first."
