Zhou Rui listened to Song Anqi say that someone would take pictures of it online and make it to the trending topics.
As she was getting ready, He Muchen put his arm around her waist and whispered in her ear, "It's okay, it's just that our group hasn't been trending on social media for a while."
Song Anqi looked at He Muchen and his partner speechlessly. "You two are really something. How afraid are you that others won't realize you're dating? You're making a big fuss about it."
Zhou Rui smiled awkwardly but still got down on his own and walked next to He Muchen. He tilted his head and asked Song Anqi, "Song Anqi, what snacks does Zhou Yuzhi usually eat?"
Song Anqi was stunned. Why did he ask Zhou Yuzhi what she liked to eat? Could it be that He Muchen wasn't enough for her and he wanted to seduce Zhou Yuzhi as well?
However, she still took the initiative to get some of Zhou Yuzhi's favorite snacks.
He Muchen stood to the side, rubbing Zhou Rui's head: "Take whatever you want to eat, I'll pay."
Zhou Rui leaned closer to He Muchen and whispered, "There's really nothing I want to eat. I only went downstairs to avoid Zhou Yuzhi."
"Since you're already here, pick something you like to eat," He Muchen said gently.
Zhou Rui joked with He Muchen, "Boss, are the company's employee benefits this good?"
"You can also choose whichever you like."
He Muchen pinched his nose and said in cooperation with Zhou Rui, "Such good employee benefits are only for you."
Zhou Rui blushed and smiled, "Then I won't be polite, boss."
He Muchen watched Zhou Rui pick out his favorite snacks, all of which seemed to be sweet. No wonder he was so sweet; he must have been eating too many sweets.
Standing behind him, Bai Xinze watched Zhou Rui carefully selecting snacks and smiled gently: "Rui Rui, after all these years, you still love sweets. You really haven't changed at all."
Zhou Rui smiled awkwardly, unsure how to respond to Bai Xinze's sudden remark.
Song Anqi, who was standing to the side, asked curiously, "Junior brother, are you and Zhou Rui very close? You even know that he likes sweets."
"Yes, we were high school classmates, and even deskmates." Bai Xinze deliberately emphasized the words "deskmates."
When Song Anqi heard Bai Xinze say that he and Zhou Rui were high school deskmates, he unconsciously looked at He Muchen. Seeing He Muchen's unpleasant expression, he realized that he might have talked too much.
"High school was a long time ago, I don't remember much about it," Zhou Rui said awkwardly.
Song Anqi quickly chimed in, "Yes! High school is a long time ago, it's normal not to remember."
Zhou Rui pretended to go find something else to eat, trying to escape the awkward atmosphere.
After the four finished shopping, Zhou Rui had Song Anqi carry the items upstairs while he and He Muchen went to the company. Bai Xinze watched Zhou Rui and He Muchen's intimate backs as they stood behind them, his eyes instantly turning cold.
Song Anqi returned to the apartment carrying shopping bags and ran into Zhou Yuzhi, who had just finished showering. Seeing that only Song Anqi had returned, Zhou Yuzhi asked curiously, "Where are Xiao Ruirui and the others?"
With a frustrated expression, Song Anqi walked over to him, handed him the snacks she had bought for him, and coldly replied, "They went to the company."
Zhou Yuzhi took the shopping bag, looked down at the snacks inside, all of which were his favorites. He picked up a bag, tore it open, and ate it, saying, "Oh, why were you holding Xiao Ruirui's hand today?"
Song Anqi thought Zhou Yuzhi had forgotten about it, so he asked what was on his mind: "Do you think I would try to take him from you?"
Zhou Yuzhi wasn't really angry because he was trying to take Xiao Rui Rui away from him. He knew that Zhou Rui liked He Muchen, and He Muchen liked him too. He had long realized that their relationship was unusual, but he just pretended not to know.
While eating, Zhou Yuzhi asked nonchalantly, "Would you try to take it from me?"
Zhou Yuzhi's words truly hurt Song Anqi's feelings. He sneered, "What if I said yes?"
When Zhou Yuzhi heard him say "What if you could?", her anger flared instantly. She put down the snacks in her hand, grabbed Song Anqi's neck, and kissed his lips. Song Anqi stared at Zhou Yuzhi with wide eyes.
Zhou Yuzhi didn't know why her body couldn't control its urge to get close to him and kiss him. It was possible that she was so angry that her brain was oxygen-deprived and couldn't control itself.
Zhou Yuzhi licked her lips: "Would you still try to take it from me after this?"
Song Anqi moved closer to Zhou Yuzhi, mimicking the way Zhou Yuzhi had just kissed him, and responded to Zhou Yuzhi's kiss, whispering in his ear, "If you were mine, I wouldn't fight you for you."
Zhou Yuzhi blushed and said nervously, "That...it's yours, it's yours."
"You're not allowed to take it from me."
Zhou Yuzhi didn't even know what he was saying. His mind was in turmoil. He had been very jealous when he saw Zhou Rui holding his hand.
Song Anqi was very surprised to hear Zhou Yuzhi say this. Did he mean that he could be his? He excitedly hugged Zhou Yuzhi: "Are you serious? You're not joking. Are you really mine?"
"What I just said was that we're together, I wasn't joking."
Zhou Yuzhi was also completely bewildered. He actually felt that Song Anqi liked him, but Song Anqi had never expressed it to him. He didn't dare to ask, afraid that if he did, it would turn out to be just his imagination, and he wouldn't even be able to remain friends.
But when he saw him holding Zhou Rui's hand today, he was very angry and a little afraid that Zhou Rui might like someone else.
"Yeah, I'm not kidding. Let's give it a try. If it doesn't work out, let's just stay friends."
Zhou Yuzhi was still worried that if they got together, the outcome would be bad, and they might not even be able to remain friends.
"Why would you agree to be with me? Are you really afraid I'll steal Zhou Rui from you?" Song Anqi was still a little hesitant to believe it.
Zhou Yuzhi knew that her feelings for Zhou Rui weren't romantic; she was jealous that Zhou Rui only had eyes for He Muchen, and she wanted him to have eyes for her too, which was why she was so enthusiastic towards him.
"Do you really like Zhou Rui?" Zhou Yuzhi asked Song Anqi in return.
"No," Song Anqi replied confidently.
"That's it then, why ask so many questions? If you don't want to try, then forget it." Zhou Yuzhi was still a little nervous when she said this, afraid that he might not want to try.
"Okay, but I don't just want to try it out with you, I want to... be with you forever."
Song Anqi looked at Zhou Yuzhi with a determined gaze. Since the year he met Zhou Yuzhi, he had always known firmly in his heart that he liked her. As they grew up, that love seemed to grow even stronger.
Hearing Song Anqi say this, Zhou Yuzhi breathed a sigh of relief, yawned, and said with red eyes, "I need to go catch up on my sleep first."
In fact, he was so nervous that he couldn't sleep at all.
Song Anqi's cold face softened, and he smiled as he kissed Zhou Yuzhi's cheek: "Want me to stay with you?"
"Or I'll tell you a bedtime story."
