Chapter 4: The troublemaker is eating your rice!

Mu Chiye is a driver and plans to take Shen Zhi to the bar after get off work.

Shen Zhi had never been to a bar. When he heard where Mu Chiye was going to take him, his eyes lit up. When Mu Chiye met Shen Zhi's sparkling black eyes, he instantly regretted it.

Mu Chiye knew Shen Zhi's character too well. Sure enough, after arriving at the bar, Shen Zhi became restless.

When Mu Chiye saw Shen Zhi looking around in surprise and whistling at no less than seven or eight people regardless of gender, he couldn't bear it anymore and covered Shen Zhi's mouth.

"Stay still, or I'll cut you," warned Makiye.

Mu Chi'er's force was so strong that Shen Zhi's lips were covered and he almost couldn't breathe. His inky eyes were moist and watery, and he nodded to show that he understood.

There was no way Mu Chiye could trust him, so he didn't relax at all. He held his crutch with one hand and held Shen Zhi with the other, and walked through the crowd in the bar with difficulty, like a freak.

Attracting the attention of passers-by.

After finally reaching the private room, Mu Chiye didn't have the hands to open the door, but he didn't want to let Shen Zhi go easily.

Seeing this, Shen Zhi cleverly opened the door for Mu Chiye and then blinked obediently.

Mu Chiye snorted coldly, he didn't know whether Shen Zhi had changed well or not, but his little tricks to please him were becoming more and more skilled.

"Hey, why is there still one being held here? Shen Zhi, if you are being kidnapped, just blink," Du Shi joked as he looked at the two people with strange postures in the private room.

Mu Chiye tentatively let go of Shen Zhi.

Shen Zhimin sensed the signal of freedom, and like a leaping bird, he broke free from Mu Chiye's restraints and flew away. The huge impact caused Mu Chiye, who was in a plaster cast, to stagger.

"Shen Zhi!"

Shen Zhi didn't hear Mu Chiye's angry shout, and happily chased after Du Shi, smiling and greeting him: "Brother Du, hello~"

“…Okay,…well…Xiao Zhi is also fine.” Du Shi didn’t know why he felt inexplicably nervous when he saw Shen Zhi’s pretty smiling face.

Maybe it was because I suffered too much loss under Shen Zhi's sweet smile.

Facts proved that Du Shi's idea was right. Shen Zhi put his hands in front of Du Shi and said, "Brother Du, where is the bag you promised to buy me last time?"

Du Shi dug it out after a long time in his mind. The last time he saw Shen Zhi was so annoyed that he felt hopeless. He coaxed Shen Zhi to buy him a bag the next time he saw him, and he would not stop until he found out. He did not expect that this kid had such a good memory.

It's really hard for the old man, he had forgotten about it a long time ago.

Shen Zhi was still waiting for him eagerly.

Du Shi held Shen Zhi's outstretched hand and pressed it down, looking away. "I've been taking care of your brother Ye so much lately that I forgot. I'll do it next time."

Shen Zhi looked at Du Shi unhappily, and Du Shi looked left and right but didn't dare to meet Shen Zhi's eyes.

"Snap", Du Shi's hand was fanned away by Mu Chiye who came over.

Du Shi was in so much pain that he let go of Shen Zhi's hand and wailed, "Did I provoke you?"

Mu Chiye pulled Shen Zhi's hand over and spat, "Old man!"

"!!!" Du Shi was almost angry to death. You are two years older than me, so aren't you an old man? Du Shi cursed from the bottom of his heart.

"After not seeing each other for so many years, you two are still so close." The handsome man hiding beside Du Shi said, "Who is this kid?"

When Xia Xuan returned to China, he wanted to invite his close friends to get together. He called Mu Chiye, his best friend from childhood, and he asked him to bring one more person.

After hanging up the phone, Xia Xuan's heart was filled with turmoil. Mu Chiye was a very sensible person. He would never ask to bring a stranger to a date. The person Mu Chiye wanted to bring must be very special.

Xia Xuan looked at Shen Zhi, a handsome young boy who was very friendly and had no boundaries. From Du Shi's tone, it seemed that they were not familiar with each other, but he could ask for a gift with a clear conscience.

Xia Xuan couldn't help but click his tongue. What kind of monster is this Shen Zhi? He has the air of a vulgar person who wants to take advantage of others, and he doesn't even have the slightest sense of distance to make people feel comfortable.

"Shen Zhi," Du Shi introduced him attentively, "Brother Ye's savior."

Xia Xuan was wearing a very formal three-piece suit, with a warm smile on his face. He looked a bit bookish and gentle.

Xia Xuan extended his hand generously and introduced himself: "I am Xia Xuan, A Ye and Du Shi's good friend for twenty years. I just returned to China recently. Thank you for saving A Ye. He is very important to me. If anything happens to him, I really don't know what to do."

The host's tone sounded unpleasant, and even Du Shi felt a little uncomfortable listening to it, but there was nothing wrong with Xia Xuan's enthusiastic words and concern for his friends, and Du Shi couldn't tell what was wrong.

Mu Chiye also frowned and glanced sideways at Shen Zhi's expression.

Shen Zhi was very happy. The reunion of the protagonist and the protagonist meant that the plot of this childhood sweetheart story had officially begun. The mission had made a big step forward, and he felt so happy.

However, no matter how happy you are, you cannot show it and your character cannot collapse.

"Where's the gift?" Shen Zhi stretched out his hand again.

Xia Xuan didn't understand what Shen Zhi meant and asked, "What?"

Shen Zhi curled his lips but still patiently explained: "Mu Chiye is so important to you. I saved him. I can't just thank you verbally. You should at least prepare a small gift."

Xia Xuan was stunned. He had never seen someone like Shen Zhi who did not play by the rules and acted recklessly.

How can you be so shameless? Asking for things is like a daily routine and you act like it's natural.

Du Shi was deeply sympathetic to this. After he saw Shen Zhi rescue Mu Chiye from a car accident and then boldly asked for marriage with Mu Chiye to divide the family property equally, he knew that Shen Zhi was just a drop in the bucket now.

Mu Chiye should have known that Shen Zhi would not be able to say anything good. He should have bought Shen Zhi a Buddhist scripture and taught him how to write the four characters "pure heart and few desires".

Mu Chiye covered Shen Zhi's mouth again and said awkwardly: "He was joking. Isn't it funny?"

"Hahaha, cough," Du Shi echoed halfheartedly, then choked on his saliva.

Shen Zhi was not convinced and pulled Mu Chiye's hand to protest.

Mu Chiye lowered his head and whispered to Shen Zhi, "You saved me, isn't it enough for me to repay you? If you ask for something else from others, I will really beat you up."

Mu Chiye's threat was immediately apparent, and Shen Zhi immediately calmed down.

Xia Xuan took in all the little movements of the two people and picked up the cold tea on the table. It no longer had the mellow fragrance that it had when it was boiling, but only a slight bitterness.

Xia Xuan didn't talk too much, but the topics and experiences he talked about were very interesting. The three people who hadn't seen each other for a long time became close instantly, as if they had returned to their carefree childhood days.

Shen Zhi, who was left behind, was picking his fingers boredly.

Shen Zhi found it boring when he saw that the three of them couldn't fit in the joyful atmosphere. He couldn't sit still as if there were thorns on his butt.

Mu Chiye noticed that Shen Zhi was arguing with Gu Yong, so he grabbed Shen Zhi's neck with his big hand and asked, "What are you doing?"

Shen Zhi continued to move and was caught as he got closer to the door.

Shen Zhi sat upright and said solemnly: "Report to Master Mu, I need to go to the toilet!"

Mu Chiye: “…” He probably would never understand how a child could be so noisy.

If possible, he hoped Shen Zhi was dumb.

Du Shi laughed happily. He found that Shen Zhi always had a lot of nonsense to say to Mu Chiye. Recently, the number of times Mu Chiye was speechless was increasing day by day.

"Go quickly and come back soon," Mu Chiye warned worriedly.

Even though Shen Zhi is already nineteen years old, he is more destructive than a hundred naughty kids combined.

Shen Zhi solemnly assured: "Yes, sir!"

The next second, the person disappeared without a trace.

Mu Chiye touched his heart and felt like he was having a heart attack. After he finished reading the parenting book, he would know how to deal with Shen Zhi.

Yes, he just has too little fighting experience now.

Xia Xuan picked up the cup and drew Mu Chiye's attention back, "I drove here today, and I'm drinking tea instead of wine to celebrate finding a good job after returning to China."

Mu Chiye, Du Shi and Xia Xuan clinked their glasses.

Du Shi asked: "Xuan Zi is really amazing. What did you do when you returned to China? I will go to show my support."

Xia Xuan studied design abroad and held several solo exhibitions under famous teachers, which received very good responses.

Xia Xuan met Mu Chiye's deep eyes and smiled, "I am employed as a designer for G family."

Du Shi looked at Mu Chiye and Xia Xuan with suspicion. He had not thought about it carefully before, but ever since Shen Zhi asked Mu Chiye to marry him, Mu Chiye was more angry rather than rejecting the idea of ​​marrying a man. Du Shi gradually realized that Mu Chiye, who had been with him since childhood, seemed to like men.

Recalling the argument Xia Xuan had with Mu Chiye when he went abroad, and the fact that Xia Xuan couldn't wait to move into Mu Chiye's company after returning home, Du Shi felt that he might have discovered something.

Du Shi didn't want to think too much about it, so he found an excuse to go out and left the space to them.

"Don't think too much," Xia Xuan spoke first, "The recent design style of G is very attractive to me and has inspired me a lot, that's all."

Makino nodded silently.

Xia Xuan smiled and said, "I was too impulsive at the time. I confessed to you without knowing what companionship was and what love was. I guess that must have troubled you. Now you have a boyfriend and I have found my own love. Is that thing over?"

Mu Chiye did not deny what Xia Xuan said. It didn't matter if Xia Xuan misunderstood that Shen Zhi was his boyfriend. At least they could still be friends.

Mu Chiye raised his eyes and stared at Xia Xuan's expression, trying to judge the truth of his words. After a long while, he raised the corners of his mouth and said in a deep voice, "Okay."

Xia Xuan picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp. He picked up the wrong glass, and the glass did not contain plain water. The spicy wine irritated his throat, and it rushed up his nasal cavity, making his tear glands sour.

The two chatted casually for a long time, but Shen Zhi still didn't come back.

Mu Chiye was a little anxious, and Xia Xuan didn't want to be alone with Mu Chiye, so he asked Mu Chiye to take care of his leg injury and went out to find Shen Zhi by himself.

Mu Chiye let Xia Xuan go without thinking much.

After a while, Xia Xuan didn't bring Shen Zhi back. Du Shi hurriedly opened the door of the private room and asked Mu Chiye to go out, saying that Shen Zhi had a fight with someone.

Mu Chiye gritted his teeth. He should have kept an eye on Shen Zhi all the time. Why was he always causing trouble everywhere?

By the time Mu Chiye arrived, the situation was already under control.

A young man with a bruised face and nose was lying on the ground. Shen Zhi was trapped in Xia Xuan's arms and was still shouting angrily.

Shen Zhi's pretty face was full of anger, and she attacked without mercy: "What brand of plastic bag do you have? It can hold so many out-of-season items. You're not pretending to be rich. You're so low."

Xia Xuan held Shen Zhi tightly. He didn't know what was going on. When he came out, he saw Shen Zhi fighting with someone.

It was true that he hated Shen Zhi, but in a fight like this he still had to protect his subordinates a little.

It would be more accurate to say that it was Shen Zhi's unilateral defeat rather than a fight.

Xia Xuan gritted his teeth and pulled Shen Zhi away from the fight, but he had no strength left. Shen Zhi was jumping up and down, and it was difficult to restrain him, let alone take him away.

"Why are you glaring at me? Are you going to bite me?" Shen Zhi was still trying to provoke the man.

Xia Xuan already understood why Mu Chiye covered Shen Zhi's mouth. He was too pretentious.

The person lying on the ground couldn't bear it anymore. Maybe it was because of Shen Zhi's anger, but he rushed towards Shen Zhi as if he had taken a shot of kidney hormone.

Shen Zhi was held by Xia Xuan and couldn't move, so he closed his eyes subconsciously.

Xia Xuan was afraid that Shen Zhi would start fighting with others again, so he turned around while hugging Shen Zhi and held Shen Zhi tightly in his arms.

The expected pain did not come, and Mu Chiye, who came rushing over, quickly knocked the person who rushed over away with his crutch.

Xia Xuan looked down and saw Shen Zhi in his arms unable to hold back his tears, which were falling like beads from a broken string. His almond-shaped eyes were filled with tears, and he looked aggrieved and pitiful.

Shen Zhi's eyes were as red as a little rabbit's. He complained unhappily, "He bullied me, and you still protected him?"

It took Xia Xuan a long time to figure out that by not letting Shen Zhi fight, Shen Zhi saw him protecting others, which was just childish thinking.

Xia Xuan once again realized what it was like to raise a bear kid, and he felt depressed but also amused.

Not to mention, Shen Zhi looks really annoying when he cries.

Xia Xuan rubbed Shen Zhi's soft black hair, which felt slightly cool, and tried to comfort him, "Don't cry, I didn't protect him."

Shen Zhi didn't listen at all and started to make a scene.

Perhaps facing a disobedient child, even the best patience would run out, and Xia Xuan also covered Shen Zhi's mouth.

Shen Zhi hadn't grown up yet, and his face was all soft and fleshy, and slippery with tears.

Xia Xuan softened his heart and said, "Please listen to my explanation."

He planned to adopt a gentle policy and slowly reason with Shen Zhi.

Mu Chiye didn't have that much patience. He grabbed Shen Zhi by the back of his collar and pulled him out of Xia Xuan's arms. His brows were gloomy and he said in a cold voice, "Come back with me."

Shen Zhi was a person who only bullied the weak and feared the strong, so he immediately behaved himself, but he still didn't give up and looked at Xia Xuan with a look for help.

Although the handsome little brother has a bad temper, he is not a bad person at heart. When he looks at you with such loving care, it feels like you are his whole world.

Xia Xuan, who was indifferent to family relationships, couldn't bear it at all and said hesitantly: "Why don't I go..." and ask him what happened.

Mu Chiye didn't even listen and took Shen Zhi away.

Du Shi patted Xia Xuan on the shoulder and sighed, "Tell me, Shen Zhi is such an annoying kid, why do people always worry about him when they see him?"

Xia Xuan, who hadn't yet remembered that Shen Zhi was his love rival, worriedly asked, "Aye, you won't do anything to him, right?"

Du Shi didn't answer, with an expression that said "you're hopeless" on his face.

Xia Xuan became even more worried.
