He Muchen helped Sister Hong into the house. Sister Hong, the agent, observed the environment of the house and looked He Muchen up and down.
She never expected that He Muchen, the young master of the He family, would stay in this shabby little house for several days without any complaints, and even seemed reluctant to leave.
He then turned to look at Zhou Rui, who was making him honey water, and he really hadn't figured out what this man was like...
Hmm, judging from his physical characteristics, I'm sure I'm not mistaken; he's a man.
What exactly is it about this man that attracted He Muchen to give up his work? He's just a little fair-skinned, has a little long legs, and his features are just average!
He Muchen really likes working, doesn't he? This year she told him not to take on so many offline events and to rest, but he wouldn't listen and insisted on taking on a lot.
Zhou Rui walked over with a cup of honey water, smiling, "I didn't know if Sister Hong liked sweets, so I just added a little bit of honey."
Hongjie took the honey water, thanked him, drank a few sips, and then put it down, waiting for He Muchen to explain to her.
He Muchen wanted to stick close to Zhou Rui the moment he saw him, not wanting to miss a single second of being close to him.
Sister Hong was really annoyed by He Muchen's shameless clinging to someone.
"Young Master, could you please take your hands off her and explain to me how far things have progressed between you two?"
"How long have you been talking in secret?"
Sister Hong really didn't want to waste any more time asking He Muchen what their relationship was, because He Muchen's pathetic attitude already told her.
It's her artist who likes that young man, not the other way around.
Zhou Rui blushed when Hong Jie asked him a question. He felt very excited whenever he thought about He Muchen hugging and kissing him.
He Muchen put his arm around Zhou Rui and said with a smile, "Sister Hong, everything you can imagine has already happened. We've only been talking for a few days."
Upon hearing this, Sister Hong stood up excitedly, "What?"
"Everything you can imagine has already happened."
Hongjie grabbed a cushion from the sofa and gave He Muchen a good beating, yelling, "You brat, you've only been around for a few days and you're already messing around with people!"
"If I don't beat you to death today, I'm not your manager."
He Muchen held his head and said helplessly, "No, Sister Hong, why did you hit me? I did something to my baby and he didn't say anything."
Hongjie's anger flared even more, and she kept hitting him while cursing, "You baby, you baby, you son of a bitch, I told you to mess around and do whatever you want..."
Zhou Rui stopped Hong Jie, "Hong Jie, I think you might have misunderstood He Muchen's choice of words."
"What misunderstanding? What misunderstanding? Baby, don't be afraid. Don't think that just because he's a big star or the young master of the He family, he can do whatever he wants."
"I'll teach this pervert a lesson for you today."
Sister Hong excitedly called Zhou Rui "baby," but He Muchen said matter-of-factly, "He's my baby, not yours..."
"Here's yours back, and mine..."
Zhou Rui grabbed Hong Jie's wrist: "Hong Jie, don't hit him. He didn't do anything to me. He just kissed me and hugged me."
"Kissing you, hugging you, that's still not..."
"What? You just said he only kissed you and hugged you?"
Zhou Rui nodded. This was the first time in his life that someone had stood up for him like this. But if it was He Muchen, he would still be willing to sleep with him.
Hongjie hit He Muchen on the head with a pillow: "So you brat, what about everything I can think of that you two have already done?"
"How was I supposed to know that our respected Sister Hong was so complicated and so irritable?" He Muchen said aggrievedly.
Hongjie asked Zhou Rui, "Baby, am I short-tempered?"
Zhou Rui chuckled dryly: "Not irritable..."
He Muchen pulled Zhou Rui into his arms and said to Sister Hong with dissatisfaction, "Sister Hong, my baby has a name. His name is Zhou Rui. Don't keep calling him 'baby.' It makes me uncomfortable."
Sister Hong slapped the cushion in her hand at He Muchen again: "I'm not happy that you're secretly dating someone."
"Besides, is Zhou Rui your personal property?"
He Muchen asked Zhou Rui with a pitiful expression, "Baby, are you mine?"
Looking at He Muchen's coquettish yet pitiful appearance, Zhou Rui found it truly endearing. He blushed and nodded, giving a soft "hmm."
Hongjie pulled Zhou Rui away from He Muchen's arms. "Don't believe him. He's a master at playing the victim. Men's words are deceitful. Let's not be tempted by him."
He Muchen pulled Zhou Rui into his arms again, putting his arm around his shoulder: "Don't touch my baby."
"Baby, don't listen to her. She's just jealous of us and wants to break us up."
Zhou Rui chuckled dryly, "I don't think Sister Hong meant that. Calm down first, my arm hurts a little."
Zhou Rui's arm was tightly held by He Muchen. He could feel that He Muchen was holding him with some force, and he could sense that He Muchen seemed to be a little afraid of him leaving him.
"Stop calling me 'baby' all the time, let's have lunch together."
Sister Hong looked at He Muchen with disgust. If she had known He Muchen was like this, she really wouldn't have followed him.
"Baby, do you want to go have lunch together?"
"Let's not go together. I'll just grab something quick and then head to school to prepare my lessons."
He Muchen pouted dejectedly, "Okay."
When Hongjie heard Zhou Rui talking about preparing lessons at school, she asked in surprise, "Zhou Rui, you're a teacher?"
"Yes, my middle school teacher."
"Oh, then let's have dinner together next time."
"By the way, Xiao Zhou, let's exchange contact information."
Zhou Rui took out his phone and added Hong Jie's contact information, while He Muchen stood aside watching with a displeased expression.
Suddenly someone knocked on the door. Zhou Rui was a little surprised, as no one should be looking for him at this time.
He went to open the door, and when he did, his colleague, Sister Liu, brought a man to his house.
“Xiao Zhou, you haven’t been to school these past few days, and I was a little worried about you. Xiao Xu and I were just passing by when we thought we’d come up and say hello.”
"Oh, right, this is the son of my best friend whom I mentioned to you before," Sister Liu introduced the man beside her.
Zhou Rui glanced at Sister Liu, who was standing straight in front of him in an elite suit.
The man politely extended his hand to greet him.
"Hello, my name is Xu Jiayi."
Zhou Rui was in a bit of an awkward situation. It would be impolite not to reach out, but if he did, He Muchen in the inner room would definitely be jealous.
"Hello, my name is Zhou Rui."
Zhou Rui quickly shook hands, then withdrew his own.
Xu Jiayi stared at Zhou Rui, whose fair and tender features were even more captivating than in the photos.
Seeing that he had been standing at the door for a long time without coming in, He Muchen walked over to the door and put his arm around his shoulder: "Baby, what are you standing here for?"
He Muchen only had eyes for Zhou Rui and couldn't see anyone else.
Looking at the two intimately connected, Xu Jiayi asked Zhou Rui, "And who is this?"
