Ms. Lin knocked on the door and saw her beloved son squatting to the side packing his suitcase. She went up to him and asked with concern, "Rui Rui, are you packing your luggage for a business trip?"
"No, Mom, I'm now Bright Stars' personal assistant, and I need to move into their apartment to take care of them."
Zhou Rui's mother exclaimed, "What?"
Zhou Rui's eardrums hurt from the shout, and he quickly covered his ears, saying, "Mom, don't get too excited, be careful of your blood pressure."
"Son, help me up, I'm feeling a little dizzy."
Zhou Rui obediently supported Ms. Lin Yi, while He Muchen, standing to the side, also took the initiative to support Ms. Lin Yi's other arm.
"Auntie, it's true. The company has arranged for Rui Rui to be our personal assistant, and she'll be coming back to the apartment with me tonight."
Ms. Lin was so excited she almost fainted, yelling, "You old geezer, give me my blood pressure medication!"
Zhou Baihui could hear his wife shouting for him even from the kitchen, so he quickly turned off the stove and rushed to his son's room to see his wife.
Seeing his wife being supported by his son and the tall man, he asked with concern, "Honey, what's wrong?"
"Go and get my blood pressure medication quickly."
When Zhou Baihui heard his wife say she wanted her blood pressure medication, he quickly went to the living room to get it, poured a glass of warm water, and handed it to his wife.
Ms. Lin Yi drank her blood pressure medication with trembling hands, and took a long breath. Zhou Baihui asked his wife with concern, "Honey, are you feeling better? Did our son upset you again?"
After saying that, she glared at Zhou Rui and said, "Did you argue with your mother about celebrities again? We only have one girl in our family. You are an adult male, so you should learn to take good care of girls."
Having recovered, Lin Yi patted Zhou Baihui and shouted at him:
"Who told you to call me 'baby'? My baby is so outstanding, how come you don't know how to cherish girls? I think it's you, a rough guy, who doesn't know how to care for girls."
Zhou Baihui looked at his wife with an innocent expression. Ever since their son was born, his status in his wife's heart had plummeted.
It's fair to say he couldn't win his wife's heart at all, but it's no wonder, considering how cute and handsome his son has been since he was little, making him so lovable, while he himself is just average-looking.
Zhou Rui watched the couple's conversation and thought, "Okay, now I understand. My mother is at the top of the food chain, my father is at the bottom, and I'm stuck in the middle, neither alive nor dead."
But he likes it now, because the couple really loves their son and the family is very warm.
"Son, pack your luggage later and come out to eat with Xiao He."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Baihui asked, "Son, are you going on a business trip?"
Ms. Lin Yi quickly replied, "No, your son wants to move out for work convenience."
"Oh," he shouted, "what?"
Zhou Rui's eardrums were vibrated again. He awkwardly touched his ears and laughed, "Dad, the company has arranged accommodation for us, so don't worry."
"No, I'm not worried about you not having a place to stay, I'm a little worried about whether you're eating well."
"No, Dad, I can cook," Zhou Rui reassured Zhou Baihui.
The Zhou couple looked at Zhou Rui in surprise, then exchanged glances. Lin Yi looked at her son with eyes full of heartache.
“Son, if you’re hungry, just call your dad. He’ll try his best to cook for you.”
"Why don't you tell us your address, and we can rent a one-bedroom apartment where you live, cook meals and deliver them to you?"
Zhou Rui looked awkwardly at the couple, then stole a glance at He Muchen, who hadn't spoken for a while. He Muchen thought Zhou Rui was asking him for help, so he quickly explained:
"Uncle, Auntie, don't worry, our apartment has a professional chef who comes to cook for us, so Rui Rui won't go hungry."
He Muchen called Rui Rui again and again, and it sounded quite natural to him.
At this moment, the one with a dark face in the room was no longer He Muchen, but Zhou Baihui. He always felt that this tall man had some ulterior motive towards his son.
He questioned his son, "You two are going to live together?"
Zhou Rui looked at his father, whose tone was unpleasant, and was a little confused. Wasn't everything fine just a moment ago? How could his attitude change so suddenly?
“Your son is going to work. He’s not living alone with Xiao He. He’s living with Xiao He’s group of people, okay? Besides, your son isn’t a little girl. He won’t be eaten by them.”
"Xiao He, don't mind him. That's just how your uncle is. He's always afraid that someone will take his precious son away from him."
He Muchen stood there smiling, but something about that smile seemed off: "I know, Auntie, Rui Rui is so cute, so it's understandable that I'm a little worried."
"Little He is the most sensible one. Old man, come with me to get the food. The children are hungry." After saying that, he pulled Zhou Baihui out of the room.
Zhou Baihui was reluctantly pulled out of the room by his wife, muttering, "Don't pull me, I can walk by myself."
"Hey, you old geezer, you've got a sharp tongue, huh? I'll get you later."
Zhou Rui sighed and said to He Muchen, "Let's go out for dinner."
He Muchen held Zhou Rui's hand and said in a low voice, "You really don't need to cook when you move in. We have a professional chef to prepare meals for us, so you won't go hungry."
Zhou Rui felt the warmth of He Muchen's hand in his palm, his heart pounding wildly inside him, and he stammered:
"Oh, I...I see...but...I really...can cook...some simple...dishes, I just don't know...if they'll suit...your tastes."
