Wang Chenhan shut his mouth, forced a standard smile, and patted He Muchen on the shoulder: "Chenchen, my darling, why didn't you say your sister-in-law was here sooner?"
Then she turned to Chen Qiankun and whispered, "My voice wasn't scary just now, was it?"
"It's not scary, just a bit noisy," Chen Qiankun said, frowning.
Chen Qiankun glanced at Zhou Rui, then at Wang Chenhan. When had Wang Chenhan ever cared about his image in front of others?
Zhou Rui walked up to them with a smile and said to He Muchen, "Your friend is here, so I'll be going now."
Before He Muchen could say anything, Wang Chenhan excitedly spoke up:
"No way! Sister-in-law, you're the star of the day. How can this date be complete without the star?"
"A date? The main character?" Zhou Rui looked at him in surprise.
"Yes, it's a date between you and my darling Chenchen!"
He Muchen quickly explained to Zhou Rui, "Wife, I told him not to call me Chenchen baby anymore. He just keeps calling me that. Please don't misunderstand, I am only your baby."
Zhou Rui blushed, his legs felt a little weak, and he just watched quietly as He Muchen nervously explained.
Wang Chenhan nodded after hearing He Muchen's explanation. He Muchen was just like him. A total henpecked husband, no doubt about it.
"Sister-in-law, I'm sorry, Chen... he reminded me, but I haven't been able to change my way of addressing him yet. I'm sorry."
"It's okay, I'm the same as you. Just like I'm used to calling him 'husband,' I can't change it all at once," Zhou Rui said with a grin.
"Honey? You guys... you're faster than us!"
"Mu Chen! Then why were you being so shy on the phone with me, saying your wife doesn't have that kind of special fetish?"
Wang Chenhan's face now shows some images that are not suitable for children.
Zhou Rui wondered what kind of quirk it was, but he didn't ask. He just quickly explained, "I think you've misunderstood. I call him 'husband' simply out of admiration, nothing more."
"Admiration? Sister-in-law, are you a fan of He Muchen?" Wang Chenhan asked curiously.
Zhou Rui proudly said, "Yes..."
Seeing that they were all staring at him, he quickly explained, "I guess so."
"So you don't have any other thoughts about my Chenchen, like dating, kissing, or pounce on him..." Wang Chenhan became bolder and bolder as he spoke.
Chen Qiankun couldn't stand it any longer and slapped Wang Chenhan hard on the back, saying awkwardly, "Why should a young couple like them report to you?"
"Sister-in-law, don't mind him, he's usually not quite right in the head."
Standing to the side, He Muchen really wanted to know if Zhou Rui had those kinds of thoughts about him. Anyway, he definitely did.
Zhou Rui smiled, glanced at He Muchen, whose expression wasn't very good, and said to Chen Qiankun, "It's okay, I don't mind."
Undeterred, Wang Chenhan asked Zhou Rui again, "Sister-in-law, do you have one or not?"
Zhou Rui said frankly, "Yes, who wouldn't have those kinds of thoughts about him?"
Wang Chenhan put his arm around Chen Qiankun's waist and quickly explained, "No, I have never had that kind of thought about Chenchen. I can swear to God."
"It's not like you're explaining anything, but it's like you had some feelings for Mu Chen before you even talked to me," Chen Qiankun said, looking at Wang Chenhan with disdain.
Zhou Rui chuckled and added insult to injury for Wang Chenhan, saying, "He seems to be hiding his feelings for Mu Chen, but he seems to be hiding them too obviously."
The three of them looked at Zhou Rui, who was smiling sweetly. Zhou Rui felt uneasy under their gazes and cleared his throat, "Ahem, did I say something wrong?"
"No, it's just that you stabbed me. I feel like my knees are going to be ruined tonight when I get home, no, I mean my knees will be ruined for a week." Wang Chenhan said with a fake smile as he looked at Chen Qiankun.
Zhou Rui laughed again and said, "How about I send you a pair of little hedgehogs? That way the area of contact with the ground should be smaller."
"Thank you, but no thanks. I have plenty of different kinds, I don't need yours. You can keep it for He Muchen, I think he needs it more than I do." Wang Chenhan retorted to Zhou Rui, then looked at He Muchen meaningfully.
“He doesn’t need it. His knees are straight and can’t bend.”
Zhou Rui said righteously that she would never let her husband kneel on those things. Her husband's knees were meant to be carefully protected, and if possible, they would even be stamped on them.
"Tch, how can it not bend? I can bend it right away."
Wang Chenhan argued with Zhou Rui like a child, while He Muchen and Chen Qiankun, caught in the middle, were like outsiders, unable to get a word in edgewise.
"You dare, or I'll make sure you can never straighten your knees again."
"Oh, you're protecting me now. I don't believe you can make me unable to stand up forever."
"Granny Rong, have you heard of her?"
"I've heard of it! What does it have to do with Granny Guan?"
“I’ve studied acupuncture points, why don’t you try my technique?” Zhou Rui said with a sinister smile, looking at Wang Chenhan’s legs.
"No need, wife, he's going to kill me..."
Wang Chenhan quickly hid behind Chen Qiankun, pretending to be very scared.
He Muchen pulled Zhou Rui into his arms, asserting his ownership, pinching his little cheek, and said jealously, "Don't say 'try your skills' to another man in the future, okay?"
Zhou Rui hadn't realized what He Muchen was saying yet; he thought He Muchen was asking him to perform acupuncture on him.
"Oh! You want to try it too?"
He Muchen leaned down and whispered in his ear, "Silly boy, I wanted to test your skills with you, but there are outsiders here, so it's not convenient."
