Gu Yueji glimpsed Ren Jin's profile through the crack in the door. He was smiling and asked dismissively, "How did I lie to her?"
"You're not allowed to talk about the construction site, you're not allowed to talk about family matters, and all you did all night was talk about delivering food. I just saw you driving your electric scooter with someone here. You're really putting on a good show."
"Yeah, you're a contractor with a house, a car, and a shop, pretending to be a food delivery guy. Isn't that cheating people?"
This was the first time Ren Jin had introduced a woman to them, and Qian Mingjun was pleasantly surprised that he now had a sister-in-law.
During the meal, he sat next to Gu Yueji. Knowing that he was Ren Jin's cousin, Gu Yueji was especially kind to him, taking care of him by serving him food and asking about Ren Jin. When she looked at Ren Jin, her eyes were bright and her lips were smiling.
It's clear that Gu Yueji likes Ren Jin.
He was disappointed by Ren Jin's current attitude. He was disappointed that Gu Yueji wasn't his sister-in-law, and also disappointed that his cousin was a scumbag who had deceived people's feelings.
"Don't you like Yueji? Why did you lie to her?"
Ren Jin skipped the first question and did not admit to deception, saying, "I just didn't tell her for the time being, why do you all say that I lied to her?"
"Keep making excuses. Wait till the girl finds out and see what she'll do to you."
Some people said, "Are you kidding? My brother isn't afraid of anything. There's a long line of women who want to be with him. If this one doesn't behave, we'll just move on to the next one."
Ren Jin smiled but didn't say anything.
Then someone asked, puzzled, "Why don't you tell Gu Yueji the truth about your situation? Are you afraid she'll be after your money?"
Ren Jin shook his head. "Although she has some debts to pay off, I live and eat at her house, and she has never asked me for money."
"Damn, you're not just seducing people, you're swindling them out of their money too."
"Get lost! You're the one who cheated me out of money and sex. I also made sacrifices, you know."
"Will you make sacrifices in bed?" Immediately after the question was asked, a burst of suggestive laughter filled the room.
"Don't even mention it, you eat her food, spend her money, and she still cares about you. It feels fucking good." Ren Jin's tone was full of smugness.
"So you're not going to tell her the truth?"
"Let's wait a little longer, until she pays off her debts."
After chatting for a few minutes, fearing that Gu Yueji might return, Ren Jin asked everyone to stop the conversation.
However, Gu Yueji did not return for quite some time, so Ren Jin went out to look for her. As soon as he stepped out, he saw her standing in the corridor, looking out the window.
He hugged her from behind, "Why don't you go inside?"
The moment I hugged her, I felt her body stiffen. I turned her around and asked, "What's wrong?"
I stared at her face, but couldn't see anything unusual.
Gu Yueji rubbed her stomach. "I probably ate too much shrimp. My stomach feels a little uncomfortable."
Ren Jin chuckled and teased her, "I peeled the whole plate of shrimp for you, how could I not peel more? I won't peel any for you next time."
Gu Yueji nodded, "Okay, you don't need to peel them anymore."
Ren Jin was taken aback. Her expression was indifferent, and her face was somewhat pale. "Are you feeling very unwell? Should we go to the hospital?"
"No need, I'll just go home and rest for a bit."
Ren Jin glanced back at the private room. "I haven't seen my brother in a long time. How about I take you home first?"
"You stay with them. Could you carry my bag for me? I can go back by myself."
Ren Jin returned to the private room and came out quickly. Besides her bag, he also took the keys to his electric scooter. "I'll take you home first."
Gu Yueji didn't refuse. After he drove the car over, she sat in the back seat and hugged him from behind, her soft body pressed against his back.
Ren Jin turned to look at her and said, "If you're really feeling unwell, we'll go to the hospital."
She shook her head. "It's okay, let's go home."
When they got back to her apartment building, Ren Jin bought her medicine and then drove her home. "If you still feel unwell after taking the medicine, call me and I'll come back and take you to see a doctor."
"Okay, you can go now."
He touched her forehead; her temperature was normal. He pecked her lips and said, "I'll be right back."
After Ren Jin left, Gu Yueji's smile completely disappeared. She leaned back on the sofa and sat there for an unknown amount of time before finally getting up to wash up and go to bed. Before getting into bed, she took out an extra blanket and placed it on one side of Ren Jin's pillow.
Ren Jin checked his phone several times during the dinner, worried that Gu Yueji might not be feeling well and might call, so he left shortly afterward.
When he got home and saw the living room was completely dark, he was taken aback. He used to always leave a small light on. He called out to Gu Yueji, but there was no answer. He pushed open the bedroom door and found her curled up in the blanket, fast asleep on one side of the bed.
I checked her forehead; her temperature was normal. Then I closed the door and went out.
After he finished washing up and returned to bed, he saw the blanket on his side and thought she was cold and wanted to cover herself with one, so he took his blanket and covered her with it as well. Then he held her and fell asleep with the blanket on.
Gu Yueji only slowly opened her eyes after Ren Jin's breathing calmed down.
She was asleep when he came back, but she woke up when he got into bed and hugged her.
She removed his hand, got up, and left the living room.
The sunlight shone into Ren Jincai's eyes, and he woke up. He touched the spot next to him, but the person he had been holding while sleeping was gone, leaving only a thin blanket.
I got up and went to the living room, and sure enough, I saw her live-streaming sales.
He didn't call her, but went to the bathroom to wash up. After coming out, he went straight to the kitchen, where buns and eggs were heating up in the pot as usual. She must have already eaten; the rest was his portion.
Sitting at the dining table, eating steamed buns while watching her live stream, seemed to be his daily morning routine. She held a cup and chatted with netizens like friends, talking not only about her clothing but also about everyday family matters. As they chatted, she turned to look at him.
