The toy vibrates almost instantly, leaving no time for preparation.
Chen Zui pretended to be concerned and asked knowingly: "What's wrong with you? Are you not feeling well?" The hand holding the remote control rested on Jiang Mo's arm.
Jiang Mo was able to hold it in after a while of adjusting. He was more concerned about one thing now, so he grabbed Chen Zui's arm and asked, "Did you see that guy? What does he look like?"
I'm so anxious that I don't need to call you Mr. Chen or you.
Chen Zui recalled: "He was very tall. There were no street lights in your community so I couldn't see him clearly, but he looked good. He was a young man."
"What's wrong? What's wrong with him?"
Jiang Mo tried to search his memories through Chen Zui's description to see if there was any tall, good-looking young man he knew, but he really couldn't find any.
Facing Chen's most worried look, he shook his head: "It's okay, the kitten just ran out when I opened the door. It must have been picked up by someone. I want to thank him."
Chen Zui pretended not to hear the loopholes in his words, such as why the person who picked up the kitten would give it to him without saying a word and then turn around and run away. He just followed Jiang Mo's words and sighed: "So he really is a good person."
The ending tone was filled with a smile.
Jiang Mo's face turned even uglier, but since he had made up the reason himself, he could only bite the bullet and admit it: "Well, he's a good person, right?"
Aotian: [I kind of feel sorry for him, wahahahaha~]
Aotian: [It’s so fun, I just want to play attack! Attack! ]
Jiang Mo invited Chen Zui in. Chen Zui put little Momo down, and the kitten quickly ran to the curtain and started scratching it.
No one cares about it.
Chen Zui held up the remote control in his hand and said, "I just don't know what kind of remote control this is. Could it be that person's? Then we have to find a way to return it to him."
He said doubtfully and clicked the remote twice.
"Ah——" Jiang Mo cried out briefly and almost shrank to the ground.
"Jiang Mo?"
"My stomach feels uncomfortable. Mr. Chen, please sit down first." Jiang Mo turned around and strode towards the bathroom. He didn't notice that Chen Zui behind him had changed his caring look, and the pair of ambitious eyes behind the glasses were filled with a playful smile.
In the bathroom, Jiang Mo took out the still running toy with a red face and some skillful movements. He looked at the water stains on the toy, wrapped it with paper shamefully and threw it into the trash can.
Chen in the living room was spinning the remote control in his hand in a very handsome manner. I guess the toys had been taken out.
Jiang Mo was probably waiting for "that pervert" to return the cat. He lowered his head, took out a kitchen knife from under the sofa and threw it back. Unfortunately, it was a good man like him who came, and all his preparations were in vain.
Jiang Mo washed his face to get rid of the redness, but he still felt strange. He had taken the toy away, but he still felt as if the toy was there.
He felt embarrassed to leave Chen Zui alone for too long, so he washed his face and left.
"Sorry, Mr. Chen, I've kept you waiting for so long." Jiang Mo said as he went to the kitchen to pour a glass of water for Chen Zui and brought it over. He didn't sit on the sofa, but took the small round cushion that came with the sofa and sat next to it.
He was not short, but he looked very cramped sitting on that little thing.
"It's okay. I'm sorry for disturbing you. I hope I didn't cause you any trouble." Chen Zuiren spoke without hesitation, like a gentle and elegant gentleman.
"No trouble, no trouble."
After saying this, Jiang Mo didn't know what to say anymore. His eyes were on the coffee table where the remote control of that thing was placed. He gritted his teeth and returned his gaze to his feet.
There is a pitiful look on his face.
Chen Zui put the things he bought for Xiao Momo on the coffee table: "Luckily, there was no danger this time, Xiao Momo is fine, otherwise..."
His tone aroused people's curiosity. Even Jiang Mo turned to look at him and saw loneliness and regret in this successful and ambitious man.
Chen Zui: "Actually, I had a cat before, when I was a teenager. It was a black cat that looked a lot like Xiao Momo."
Aotian: [True or false?]
Chen Zui: [It’s fake.]
Most people would probably ask what happened next, but Jiang Mo just waited quietly for what happened next.
Chen Zui gave him a wry smile: "Cats' lifespans are far shorter than humans'."
Jiang Mo understood, and there was a hint of sympathy and love in his eyes when he looked at Chen Zui. That was why he liked Xiao Momo so much. Everything had an answer.
Chen Zui: "Do you mind if I light a cigarette?"
Jiang Mo shook his head. He felt that he should say something comforting. He thought about it over and over again.
Along with the clicking sound of the lighter, a floral scent filled the room, causing Jiang Mo's nostrils to twitch slightly and then he looked in the direction of the scent. The thin white pipe was pinched between two slender fingers, with a few strokes of the pipe outlining the pattern of a rose, so delicate that it seemed to be blooming on Chen's neatest fingertips.
Chen Zui raised an eyebrow: "Want one?"
Jiang Mo: "No, I don't smoke."
Chen Zui smiled and said, "It's okay. This is a custom-made floral scent with almost no tobacco. I can't stand the pungent smell of tobacco, and it makes you stink. Even if you don't smoke, you can try this."
He took out a cigarette and handed it to Jiang Mo.
Jiang Mo really didn't know how to refuse him, so he took the cigarette and put it in his mouth awkwardly.
He thought he should borrow the lighter again.
Chen Zui suddenly moved closer, biting the cigarette in his mouth until it curled up a little, and then stopped in front of the cigarette in Jiang Mo's mouth. The distance between the two cigarette rods was so close that the strands of hair on their foreheads were about to touch each other, so close that Chen Zui's glasses seemed to be resting on the bridge of Jiang Mo's nose, the lenses became completely transparent, and their eyes fell into each other and sank downwards.
Their eyes collided.
A spark was ignited, instantly setting someone's heart on fire. Smoke curled upwards, like a misty fog creating an illusion. In the fantasy, the sight turned into a snake and a flower-filled vine entangled, one growing wildly, the other tightly wrapped.
Chen Zui bit the cigarette and said with a smile: "You have to breathe, stupid."
This sentence made someone's ears red. He took a deep breath foolishly, and the pipe quickly burned a lot shorter. Jiang Mo took a full mouthful of the floral fragrance and couldn't help but exhale. The smoke hit Chen Zui's handsome face. He sniffed it lightly, and his shocking eyes locked on his prey.
“It smells so good.”
I don't know if he's talking about people or cigarettes.
Jiang Mo suddenly started coughing. He bent down and lowered his head, as if he was surrendering to Chen Zui.
The smoke was not choking, but he suddenly felt something itchy, causing his body to cough instinctively.
Chen Zui's gaze fell on the man's neck. Such a neck was suitable for being pinched from behind, leaving clear marks of being pinched. He put away the cigarette and exhaled slowly and skillfully.
The smoke slowly fell on Jiang Mo's neck, like soft moonlight, layer after layer, and his neck was turning red at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Aotian: [Favorability 37! ]
Aotian: [Host, you are so good~]
Chen Zui narrowed his eyes slightly. The person who seemed to be bowing his head devoutly was actually becoming more and more favorable to his master. This was an offense that should be punished. He glanced at the cigarette in his hand and thought it would be appropriate to leave a mark on the other person's neck as punishment.
He took a deep drag.
She raised her hand and patted the man's thin back, "Are you okay?"
He could clearly feel Jiang Mo's body tense up the moment he touched it.
This reaction pleased Chen Zui.
I think he'll be even more nervous when I enter him in the future, his whole body will be tense, including...
Bring yourself the ultimate enjoyment.
"It's okay." Jiang Mo stood up straight. He thought that it would be okay if he kept his brows down and didn't look at Chen Zui, but he didn't know that his red face had already betrayed him.
Chen Zui: "It's very late, I won't bother you anymore."
He stood up and looked at the kitten: "Xiao Momo, see you next time~"
Little Momo was about to run towards him, but his paw got caught on the curtain and he couldn't get it off. This was the punishment for being naughty.
Jiang Mo came to his senses only when Chen Zui reached the door. He hurriedly stopped Chen Zui. The pervert had already seen Mr. Chen. Maybe he didn't leave. This time he returned the cat, but next time he might stab Mr. Chen.
"Mr. Chen, it's very late. Why don't you stay here with me for one night?"
Chen Zui, who had just slept here last night, looked thoughtful.
Jiang Mo: "It's not very peaceful lately."
Especially the people around him.
Chen Zui: "Okay, I'll bother you for one more night then."
This time, Jiang Mo went to sleep inside without asking.
Chen Zui: "Sorry, I need to take care of some work. Can I turn off the lights later?"
Jiang Mo: "No problem."
Chen Zui: “Thank you.”
He leaned against the head of the bed, fiddling with his cell phone openly.
Jiang Mo's phone, which he had placed under his pillow, vibrated. He took it out and saw the number. He instinctively wanted to hide it.
But if the other party calls...
Mr. Chen probably wouldn't notice it because he's busy with his work. Even if he did, given Mr. Chen's character, he would never peek at his phone.
He thought about it and opened his phone.
? : [He didn't leave.]
? : [I've been watching you.]
Jiang Mo: [What do you want to do now?]
Chen Zui glanced at the sneaky Jiang Mo: [You threw away your toy.]
Jiang Mo bit his lip.
? : [If he knew you were a pervert who stalked and spied on others, heh——]
? : [Be good.]
Jiang Mo didn't dare to think that if the other party told Mr. Chen what he had done, Mr. Chen would definitely hate him.
He didn't want Mr. Chen to dislike him.
Jiang Mo: [If you dare to say that, I will definitely kill you! ]
Chen Zui looked at the message and thought, "A cornered dog will jump over the wall, a cornered rabbit will bite. What will Jiang Mo do if he gets desperate?"
He turned off the lights and lay down. Jiang Mo was almost pressed against the wall, leaving him with more space to move around.
In the darkness, even breathing loudly seemed presumptuous.
Jiang Mo waited for a long time but there was no reply. Instead, he heard Chen Zui say, "You are not what I imagined."
His voice sounded particularly pleasant in the darkness, and Jiang Mo perked up: "Really?"
Staring intently at the screen, was he irritated?
Jiang Mo felt that the person behind him seemed to move, and the breath he exhaled when he spoke floated behind his head and brushed past his ears.
"I thought you would be the type to keep your distance from everyone."
"You must be often misunderstood."
Jiang Mo didn't say a word. Scenes of being isolated and targeted came to his mind, and he felt only sadness.
Chen Zui: "It's their fault, not yours."
No one has ever said this to Jiang Mo. Even his family would only say, "Don't blame yourself. You don't talk or make friends all day. Who wouldn't think you're sick? Think more about your own problems!"
Chen Zui: "There is no wrong personality, only misunderstandings that lead to judgment without understanding. I think you are very good."
This was another sentence Jiang Mo had never heard before. Mr. Chen felt that he was a good person, and his eyes suddenly felt a little sore. He was probably just comforting himself.
"You keep the house tidy, are serious and capable at work, pick up stray kittens, and worry about my safety."
Chen Zui's points were meaningful and not empty.
It was like a ray of sunshine shining into Jiang Mo's heart.
This made Jiang Mo even more upset. If Mr. Chen knew that he was a bad guy, a rat hiding in the dark ditch...
The red eyes gradually became moist.
The man endured the inner torment in silence, feeling very sorry for Chen Zui.
Chen Zui stopped talking.
Aotian: [Favorability 43! ]
Aotian: [The dawn of victory is just ahead! ]
After a long while, Jiang Mo confirmed that Chen Zui had fallen asleep. Then he turned over carefully and looked at Chen Zui's face so close to him in the moonlight.
My heart is pounding.
The beating sound was almost deafening.
The only thing he didn't want to be hated by Chen Zui.
In the second half of the night, Chen Zui held the sleeping Jiang Mo in his arms, and Jiang Mo's T-shirt was lifted up.
Jiang Mo frowned slightly, not knowing his own feelings.

Being played with by one hand.
Aotian: [Host! What are you doing! ]
Chen Zui: [Check.]
Aotian: [That makes sense, I support you~]
Aotian: [Don't worry about checking. I will definitely write a reasonable report for you.]
Chen Zui: [Thank you, my perfect partner.]
Aotian: [You are also my perfect partner. ]
Aotian: [*^_^*]

Chen Xiu looked out the window and saw that the stalker had become very quiet recently.
I no longer send him messages like "I'm watching you".
Have you given up?
【Author’s words】
Even after being sold, Jiang Mo would still count the money for Chen Zui [smirk]
