Song Anqi glanced at Zhou Rui, then left without responding, carrying her water glass and leaving Zhou Rui completely bewildered. Why was Song Anqi so unpredictable? Why did she want him to stay away from Zhou Yuzhi?
She acted as if she and Zhou Yuzhi were very close, but she didn't want to be close to that flirtatious Zhou Yuzhi at all.
Zhou Rui poured Li Tiantian another glass of water. Holding the glass, Zhou Rui watched Li Tiantian staring at his phone with a lovesick expression and shook his head with disgust. So this lovesick look is really silly! She should stop being lovesick in front of He Muchen; it's too damaging to her image.
"Here, I've poured you some water. I don't need to feed you, do I?" Zhou Rui joked with Li Tiantian.
"Ah!"
"How could I dare let you feed me yourself? You're my precious baby now."
Li Tiantian took the water and drank a lot in one go. She finished the water in the cup in two gulps. Her mood was a little more stable now, but her heart was still pounding excitedly.
"How did I become your darling again?"
"Aren't you afraid that Mu Chen will hear this and tell on you again?" Zhou Rui asked Li Tiantian with a smile.
Li Tiantian rolled her eyes dramatically, not at Zhou Rui, but at He Muchen, who left her speechless and helpless upon hearing his name.
"My dear Rui Rui, my darling Rui Rui, could you please not mention him in front of me?"
"That's really bad luck, okay?"
"I was in a good mood, but now I'm suddenly in a bad mood."
Zhou Rui smiled and teased Li Tiantian, "But I feel especially happy when I hear his name."
"My dear little Rui Rui, what happened to you after just a few days? How did you change like this?"
"Why is his condition getting worse? Did that stinky dog He do something to you? Tell me, I'll find someone to treat him." Li Tiantian was very concerned about Zhou Rui, because she didn't know that Zhou Rui and He Muchen were already dating.
Zhou Rui was very curious upon hearing this. Who could possibly handle He Muchen? So he asked, "Who can handle him?"
"His older brother!"
Zhou Rui looked at Li Tiantian in surprise. He thought Li Tiantian would say that she was He Muchen's father.
"Is He Muchen afraid of his older brother?"
"Yes! At home, everyone dotes on He Chou Gou except his older brother, so he's a little afraid of his older brother and he listens to almost everything his older brother says."
Zhou Rui said "Oh," realizing that he had grown up surrounded by love, completely different from himself. He had only received love from his grandparents since childhood and couldn't even remember what his parents looked like.
Seeing Zhou Rui lost in thought, Li Tiantian waved her hand in front of him and asked, "Little Rui Rui, what are you thinking about?"
Zhou Rui snapped out of his daze and smiled at Li Tiantian: "I wasn't thinking about anything."
“That’s why I’m telling you not to be afraid. If He Muchen really bullies you, just tell me. If you can’t see me, you can send me a message, and I’ll immediately send a message to his older brother and have him come and deal with him.” Li Tiantian sighed worriedly in front of Zhou Rui, afraid that Zhou Rui would be bullied and wouldn’t dare to say a word.
"Mu Chen is such a good person, he wouldn't bully me," Zhou Rui said with a smile.
Even if he was being "bullied," he was actually hoping to be "bullied." The more Zhou Rui thought about it, the hotter his face became, and he lowered his head and smiled infatuatedly.
Seeing the pink blush rising on Zhou Rui's chubby little face, Li Tiantian pinched his cheek and said, "Little Rui Rui, what are you thinking about? Your face is all red."
Zhou Rui laughed awkwardly, feeling guilty, "I wasn't thinking anything, I wasn't thinking anything..."
"You must be thinking about something. Your face is all red. You're not thinking about something bad, are you?"
Li Tiantian patted Zhou Rui's shoulder with a worried look and sighed, "Sigh! I told you to date to cure your condition, but you wouldn't listen. Look, you're just daydreaming again."
"By the way, Rui Rui, what do you think of my cousin?"
"If possible, I can help you make a connection."
Zhou Rui quickly waved his hand: "Sweetie, no need, no need. Besides, your cousin is so outstanding, he should already have a girlfriend."
"He probably doesn't have one now, but they dated before, and they had a fight a few days ago, so it seems they broke up." Li Tiantian seemed to know everything, as her cousin had just broken up.
"I don't like breaking up either. I like younger women." Zhou Rui didn't dare to say outright that he liked He Muchen, so he could only use the excuse that he liked younger women.
"Wow! I never would have guessed, Rui Rui, that you actually like younger brothers."
"Judging from your appearance, I thought you would like someone older than yourself. I really didn't expect you to like younger men." Li Tiantian was so excited that she almost couldn't control her saliva, but luckily she swallowed it in time.
"Why would someone with my looks think I wouldn't like younger men? Just because I look like a puppy, does that mean I don't like younger men?" Zhou Rui said helplessly.
"It's a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding. Everyone has different preferences. Let me introduce you to the 'puppy-like' type," Li Tiantian said with a grin.
"Sweetie, really, I don't need to. I'm really not in the mood for dating right now."
Zhou Rui just wanted to skip this topic, so he steered the conversation toward Bai Xinze, muttering to himself: I'm sorry, Bai Xinze, I didn't mean to bring you up, I just need to protect myself right now.
"Tell me about yourself, how are you planning to pursue Bai Xinze?"
Upon hearing the name Bai Xinze, Li Tiantian became very excited, her heart pounding wildly. Perhaps it was truly love at first sight for Bai Xinze. She had never believed in love at first sight, but with Bai Xinze, she really could fall in love at first sight.
"First, help him move, find out where he lives, and then slowly make my move." Li Tiantian had already come up with many ideas for pursuing Bai Xinze.
When Zhou Rui heard the word "moving," he remembered that Bai Xinze had given him a key on behalf of Sister Hong that afternoon; it should be the key to the apartment across from theirs.
He helped Bai Xinze move today, and now he's packing his bags to move to the apartment across the street. He wonders if the new employee Song Anqi mentioned last night is Bai Xinze. Could it be that he's going to live with Bai Xinze?
If so, how should he explain this to He Muchen? If Bai Xinze tells me that we've known each other since high school, will he think I'm lying to him, and then get angry and break up with me?
No way! We've only been dating for a short time, how can we break up like this? I haven't even had a proper relationship with him yet!
If I pretend to have amnesia, will He Muchen believe me?
When it was time to leave work, Bai Xinze and He Muchen came to find Zhou Rui one after the other, making the atmosphere in the office very awkward.
Bai Xinze smiled gently: "Rui Rui, let's go."
