If those two dare to do anything behind my back, I will make sure that adulterer dies a horrible death!

"Why don't we do it now?" Jing Baisen said.

When Liu Nian heard him say that he wanted the students to come over right now, he hesitated for a moment and said, "Isn't this a little too hasty?"

"What," Jing Baisen immediately adopted an air of superiority, "Do I need to pick an auspicious day to see him?"

Liu Nian muttered, "But you should at least consider whether they have time... How can you be so domineering?"

Even as he said that, Liu Nian slowly took out his phone and, in front of Jing Baisen, made a call to Fang Xiao.

After answering the phone, Fang Xiao seemed a little excited and asked, "Liu Nian, why are you calling?"

Hearing his tone, Jing Baisen looked very suspicious.

Liu Nian stole a glance at Jing Baisen, then turned around and said in a somewhat furtive tone, "Um...could you come to my...my uncle's...house for a meal?"

uncle?

Jing Baisen's face was as gloomy as could be.

Fang Xiao seemed stunned as well. After a while, he said in a slightly forced tone, "I... I think I'll pass. We just ate today, and we're still full."

Liu Nian glanced at Jing Baisen again, and could only bite the bullet and say, "...You should still come over. If you really can't eat, you can have a cup of tea."

There was a wry smile on the other end, followed by a sigh, and then it said, "Alright then..."

After hanging up the phone, Liu Nian gave Jing Baisen a look, as if to say, "Are you satisfied now?"

Jing Baisen is not satisfied now.

Since he had invited people over for dinner, Liu Nian wanted to tell the cook to prepare a few dishes.

But to everyone's surprise, Jing Baisen interrupted, saying, "Just boil a kettle of water."

Liu Nian suddenly turned around and looked at him with obvious disapproval.

Jing Baisen wasn't afraid of him at all. He beckoned him like a pet cat and commanded, "You come here!"

Forced by his gaze, Liu Nian could only drag his feet and get through it.

As soon as Liu Nian arrived, Jing Baisen pulled him into his arms and peeled a longan, feeding it to him.

Liu Nian had never seen Jing Baisen so considerate before, and felt a chill run down his spine. He asked him warily, "What's wrong? Can't you be normal for once?"

"Open your mouth!" Jing Baisen commanded.

Liu Nian was forced to obediently open his mouth.

After Liu Nian ate, Jing Baisen even considerately wiped his mouth.

This feeling...

I really can't explain it.

Fang Xiao was already a little scared when he received that address.

When he finally arrived at the Jing family's residence, the family's butler opened the door for him, and he finally believed that Liu Nian's partner was indeed... a member of the Jing family.

Who is that member of the Jing family?

That legendary bodyguard of Master Sen, or who exactly?

As soon as Fang Xiao entered, he couldn't help but look around.

It's not that he's unsophisticated, but rather that he's never seen anything like this before.

When they finally arrived at the reception room, Fang Xiao's hands were already a little sweaty.

The butler bowed slightly and walked up to Jing Baisen, saying, "Master Sen, the person has arrived."

Liu Nian's mouth was stuffed full of longan, and he was being held down on Jing Baisen's lap, so he didn't see Fang Xiao for a moment.

He tried to get up, but Jing Baisen held him down, preventing him from doing so, and then said in a cold voice, "Then let him come over."

Fang Xiao was genuinely a little nervous.

Looking at the man sitting on the sofa, he vaguely realized from the aura surrounding him that this person was probably the legendary Master Sen.

When Fang Xiao walked over, he saw Liu Nian resting his head on Jing Baisen's lap, his mouth stuffed full.

Liu Nian's posture was rather awkward, but he forced a smile and greeted Fang Xiao, saying, "...Hi~"

"Liu, Liu Nian, you!" Fang Xiao was also completely shocked.

He really didn't expect that the uncle Liu Nian mentioned was actually Master Sen.

The thought that he had actually harbored feelings for Liu Nian before made Fang Xiao break out in a cold sweat.

He was just a male college student, while Master Sen...

Liu Nian pinched Jing Baisen's hand and then forcefully got off his leg.

With so many longans stuffed in his mouth, Liu Nian had to chew them more than a dozen times before he was finally able to open his mouth.

"Senior, are you tired from the journey? Come over and have some...tea!"

Just as Liu Nian was about to pour him tea, Jing Baisen's hand beat him to it and picked up the teapot.

Then, under everyone's gaze, he personally poured Fang Xiao a cup of tea, without even glancing at Fang Xiao, and simply said, "Sit down."

Fang Xiao sat down cautiously.

Liu Nian felt a little awkward standing there alone, so he had no choice but to sit down as well.

But who knew that as soon as he sat down, Jing Baisen immediately put his arm around his waist.

Fang Xiao didn't dare to look openly; after glancing at it once, he abruptly looked away.

Liu Nian pinched Jing Baisen's hand, but Jing Baisen didn't react.

Jing Baisen: "I heard you're going abroad on an exchange program with him?"

Fang Xiao was stunned for a moment before he suddenly realized that Jing Baisen was talking to him. "...Yes, yes, although Liu Nian is a junior, his professional ability is really strong, so the professor gave him this opportunity."

Jing Baisen didn't care about any of that and asked, "When we arrive, what are your plans for accommodation?"

Fang Xiao braced himself and said, "That depends on the school. They should arrange an apartment for us to live in."

"So you're living together?" Jing Baisen asked again.

Fang Xiao: "...That's not necessarily true."

Jing Baisen looked at Liu Nian: "Why is it uncertain? Tell me about it."

Liu Nian glared at him.

“The apartments arranged from there might be a bit cheaper,” Fang Xiao said, trying to appear less reserved, “but the conditions shouldn’t be bad; it should be one room per person.”

Jing Baisen then asked Fang Xiao, "Are you short of money?"

Fang Xiao felt that every word Jing Baisen said seemed to carry a hint of hostility.

He himself felt somewhat guilty.

Fang Xiao: "It's not that we're short of money, it's just that if we can save a little money, we can ease the burden on our parents."

“Really?” Jing Baisen praised him without any emotion. “What a good boy.”

Liu Nian's lips twitched as he listened.
