He Zitong stared at her handsome younger brother and lovely sister-in-law sitting opposite her with a lovesick expression, and excitedly blurted out her innermost thoughts: "Oh my god! They're so adorable, give me more!"
Upon hearing this, Zhou Rui glanced at He Muchen in confusion and asked him in a low voice, "What does your sister mean by 'too sweet'? Is it because my cooking is too delicious?"
He Muchen explained awkwardly, "Yes, she thought your cooking was so delicious that she was a little excited."
He Muchen kicked He Zitong under the table, giving her a look that seemed to tell his older sister to tone it down.
Her older sister, He Zitong, has been obsessed with shipping couples ever since she read a comic, even shipping her and her second brother, and often shipping their sweet moments.
"So, little one, what do you think of our Mu Chen? If you like him, you can take him in. If not, I'll introduce you to someone else."
“Actually, Mu Chen’s second brother is quite good-looking too. He’s a professor with an aloof and celibate air. I’ll introduce you to him later,” He Zitong said, her eyes shining as she stared at Zhou Rui.
The thought of the abstinent professor and the innocent rabbit together was even more adorable than the two people in front of her, and she couldn't stop smiling.
He Muchen sat there, his face turning white and black with anger. How could he have such a sister, tripping up her brother? Did they all think I didn't like her and wanted to introduce her to potential partners?
Zhou Rui blushed with embarrassment and awkwardly laughed, "Thank you, sister, but I'm not really interested in dating right now, so you don't need to introduce me to anyone."
"Okay, so what kind do you like? I'll keep an eye out for you, and when you're ready to date, I'll introduce you to someone."
"By the way, let me add you as a contact."
Zhou Rui awkwardly took out his phone and added He Zitong's contact information. He glanced at He Muchen, who had a very unpleasant expression, and said with a smile, "Sister, you really don't need to pay attention to me. I already have someone I like."
He Zitong glanced at He Muchen, whose face was dark, and sighed: "Oh, you have someone you like? Aren't you going to consider our Muchen?"
"You guys take your time eating. I'm sleepy, I'm going back to my room to sleep for a while."
He Muchen got up angrily, left the living room, and went back to his bedroom. He didn't want to hear Zhou Rui reject him. He felt that not hearing it was the same as not being rejected, and that he still had a chance.
Zhou Rui stared blankly at He Muchen's retreating figure. He Zitong said helplessly, "That's just how he is. When he doesn't want to listen, he just rudely chooses to run away."
"Escape?" Zhou Rui asked, puzzled.
"Hmm, he's probably afraid you'll reject him. Kid, are you really not going to consider our Mu Chen?" He Zitong asked Zhou Rui, still unwilling to give up.
"How could I reject someone I've liked for so many years?" Zhou Rui muttered to himself.
"What did you say, little kid? You've liked someone for so many years?"
"No, sister, you misheard me. I said, how could I possibly reject him? He's so handsome." Zhou Rui smiled like a lovesick fool.
"So you like our Mu Chen."
Zhou Rui shyly hummed in agreement. He Zitong was overjoyed when she heard Zhou Rui's hum, but she held back from screaming, afraid of embarrassing herself in front of her sister-in-law. She pretended to be calm and asked:
"You just said you don't want to be in a relationship."
"It's not that my sister wanted to introduce me to someone else that made me say I didn't want to date. Besides, whether I date someone or not, I still like He Muchen." Zhou Rui openly expressed his feelings for He Muchen to He Muchen's sister.
"ah...."
He Zitong could no longer contain her excitement and shouted loudly.
He Zitong's scream not only startled Zhou Rui, who was hiding inside, but also startled He Muchen, who rushed out of the room. He nervously walked to Zhou Rui's side, bent down, and anxiously examined Zhou Rui, asking nervously:
"What happened? Did you bump yourself somewhere? Let me see."
Zhou Rui laughed awkwardly, "I didn't bump into anything there, it was your sister who was yelling."
He Zitong stared at the two of them even more infatuatedly. When He Muchen heard Zhou Rui say this, he looked at He Zitong coldly and said, "Sister, why are you calling me that for no reason?"
"No, you brat, why don't you care if your sister bumped into anything?" He Zitong's excitement turned to displeasure when she saw He Muchen's attitude towards her.
"Sis, after you finish eating, hurry up and take the pastries to your sister-in-law. We have to go to the company later," He Muchen said impatiently.
"Oh, now that he has a beauty in his arms, he doesn't even care about family anymore," He Zitong complained to He Muchen.
He Muchen ignored her and got up to go to the bedroom to take the pastries to He Zitong: "Sister, hurry up and leave. If you don't leave, my brother will come to my place and we'll both be in trouble."
"Okay...I'm leaving."
He Zitong picked up the pastries and patted He Muchen on the shoulder: "Take it easy, the kids can't handle you messing around like that."
He then chuckled and patted Zhou Rui's head, saying, "Little friend, if my brother isn't up to it, I can introduce you to my second brother. Older people are more caring."
Zhou Rui blushed and said, "Sister, really, you don't need to. I prefer younger girls."
He Zitong smiled and left with the pastries, leaving the two of them in the house with an ambiguous relationship. Zhou Rui cleared his throat and said with a smile, "I'll go clean up the dishes."
He Muchen grabbed Zhou Rui's wrist and asked in a low voice, "You really don't want to be in a relationship right now?"
"Ah! I only said that so that your sister wouldn't have to introduce me to anyone," Zhou Rui quickly explained.
"So, the person you like is the one who looks like me?" He Muchen was still struggling with the person in Zhou Rui's heart.
Zhou Rui said helplessly, "He Muchen, are you an idiot? Can't you tell who I like?"
While making lunch, Zhou Rui thought for a long time in the kitchen. He wanted to boldly confess his feelings to He Muchen and tell him that he liked him.
He Muchen looked at him with some confusion, but he was also afraid that Zhou Rui would reveal someone else's name.
"I'm a bit slow, I can't tell who you like. I feel like you like me, but you don't want to be with me."
"Moreover, I've never liked anyone before, and I don't know how to express my feelings. My sister said that if you like someone, you should confess to them instead of discussing it with them."
"But I think I should discuss it with you. If you're willing to be my boyfriend, then let's try dating."
"If you don't want to be my boyfriend or be with me, that's okay. I'll think of other ways. If this way doesn't work, there's always another way. I believe that one day you will be willing to be with me."
Zhou Rui didn't dare blink, and his breath almost stopped. His idol had actually confessed to him. This was truly the most beautiful moment of his dream.
"Rui Rui..."
"Zhou Rui..."
