Yiqian Ge stood at the door, watching the elevator numbers change.

Behind him came the sound of Hou Ranxi's footsteps. He looked outside with Yiqian Ge and asked with a smile: “What’s up? Want to ask the kids about how my company is doing?”

“Your Kemodel Company, I don’t need to investigate that much.”

“Yes, in your eyes, my company is not even a side branch compared to your family’s industries.”

Hou Ranxi did not feel relieved until Yiqian Ge did not catch up with Zhou Rui.

This man was too sharp, even Hou Ranxi could not get a good grasp of him.

Yiqian Ge turned back to look at Hou Ranxi and asked him: "Did you catch up with her?"

"I never chased her, I kept my promise."

"Oh." Yiqian Ge tidied his tie, seeming to be ready to leave.

Hou Ranxi was not sure if Zhou Rui had gone far. He wanted to stall for time, so he spoke again and asked Yiqian Ge: "In fact, you didn't really accept me even in high school, right?"

"You feel good. You have been extremely disgusting since that time."

"Yes, Chai Meicen didn't see it, but you could see it. Wasn't I great to have liked someone for so many years without changing?"

Yiqian Ge looked at Hou Ranxi with his facial expression almost crumbling.

Why did looking at Hou Ranxi make him so angry?

Chai Meicen actually introduced Hou Ranxi to him frankly at the time, saying Hou Ranxi was her brother.

Was that the way a brother looked at his sister!

Now Hou Ranxi was showing off in front of him, and he gritted his teeth angrily: "Well, you do match well with that little scammer."

"If you think we match well, don't go looking for her again. I guess she wouldn't want to see you again either."

Yiqian Ge took a deep breath, opened the door and walked out with big steps.

He had only come here to replace out about the situation on Hou Ranxi's side, to confirm whether he was with Chai Meicen, but still got angry.

Between the two of them in this game, who really won was unknown.

After Yiqian Ge left, Hou Ranxi suddenly felt a little tired.

Leaning against the wall, he let out a long sigh.

...I'm tired of this.

Really tired of it.

Zhou Rui had just arrived at the door of his home when someone suddenly pounced on him, limbs wrapped around him, and happily shouted: "Brother Zhou Rui!"

Zhou Rui's body swayed and he almost lost his balance. He turned his head to look at Li Xiaonan and said through gritted teeth: "Tear your sister off me."

Li Xiaonan was also very helpless. He sighed and was also helpless about his sister.

"Brother Zhou Rui, Yang Ting said she let the cat out of the bag. That beautiful lady is your relative, not your girlfriend." Qiu Si Tong said excitedly.

"I'm going to slaughter Yang Ting!" Zhou Rui said, then jumped up and down in place, but still couldn't shake Qiu Si Tong off.

Zhou Rui was about to have a breakdown. Forcibly suppressing his anger, he said: "Get off me."

"I missed Brother Zhou Rui!"

"I don't like your kind." Zhou Rui's voice was trembling.

Qiu Si Tong finally got off and stood in front of Zhou Rui to compare heights: "Brother Zhou Rui, look, I grew taller."

"I won't look!"

"My brother is so tall, I'll be tall too in the future."

"You two don't even have the same father!"

Zhou Rui then went upstairs, but remembered Chai Meicen was at home and stopped in his tracks.

Li Xiaonan whispered to Qiu Si Tong: "I'll take you to eat something delicious."

"No, I want to play with Brother Zhou Rui, or else you'll be back at school again."

"Zhou Rui, do you want to..." Li Xiaonan tried asking Zhou Rui.

"No! No! Don't try to help randomly. I haven't settled with you yet for taking the lock off my room!" Zhou Rui couldn't stand Li Xiaonan's bear-like appearance.

Li Xiaonan just rolled his eyes. Women's affairs really couldn't be meddled with.

He wanted to go home.

Chai Meicen came downstairs carrying a trash bag. Seeing Zhou Rui holding hands with a little girl, she paused in her steps.

Oh my!

In fact, Zhou Rui really wasn't holding Qiu Si Tong's hand, but rather Qiu Si Tong was holding his hand and not letting go.

Li Xiaonan stood to the side, extremely awkward. Seeing Chai Meicen, he became even more nervous.

Chai Meicen walked over and asked, "What are you doing?"

"Big sister! I super like Brother Zhou Rui!" As soon as Qiu Si Tong saw Chai Meicen, she came out with this.

"Oh..." Chai Meicen looked at Zhou Rui.

Zhou Rui pleaded innocent: "Li Xiaonan's sister, 1.5 meters tall. This little thing can't even reach my head when she jumps. How could I possibly..."

"I'll grow up!" Qiu Si Tong emphasized again.

Zhou Rui was inexplicably obsessed with height.

He probably had nothing else noteworthy besides height and good looks.

Chai Meicen couldn't help but laugh.

Standing together with Li Xiaonan, you really couldn't tell Qiu Si Tong and him were siblings.

Li Xiaonan had an extremely distinctive, world-weary face. Usually he was half dead, but could be said to be handsome or good looking, just not cute at all.

But Qiu Si Tong had big round eyes, chubby cheeks, and overall just looked cute because of her small face.

"Let me make an egg tart for you," Chai Meicen asked Qiu Si Tong, actually charmed by her cuteness.

Zhou Rui immediately went to grab Chai Meicen by the collar and dragged her upstairs: "Don't make anything, don't!"

"I want to eat!" Getting to go to Zhou Rui's house was all Qiu Si Tong cared about, not even thinking about the "Auntie" address.

Li Xiaonan hesitated for a moment before following behind Qiu Si Tong.

In the end, everyone still went to Zhou Rui's house.

Zhou Rui collapsed on the sofa covering his face. Qiu Si Tong sat next to him, carefully poking his arm with her finger.

"If you touch me again I'll break your fingers off." Zhou Rui warned Qiu Si Tong.

"Can I visit Brother Zhou Rui's room?"

"If you're interested, then wash my dozens of smelly socks."

"Okay, I can wash clothes very clean!" Qiu Si Tong patted her chest to guarantee.

Zhou Rui was completely speechless.

Chai Meicen came out of the kitchen and asked Qiu Si Tong, "What do you like about Zhou Rui?"

"He's fierce and cute, super adorable." Qiu Si Tong answered frankly.

"I think so too." Chai Meicen accepted the praise calmly.

"Seeing you makes me feel very intimate."

"But beautiful girls are often very good at deceiving people."

Qiu Si Tong immediately looked at Li Xiaonan. Li Xiaonan helplessly explained, "Last time... she heard it too."

Qiu Si Tong's face turned bright red. She quickly explained, "No, no, I was just jealous and mentally distorted."

"It doesn't matter, still better than Zhao Bingqing."

Zhou Rui felt staying here was a mistake.

One little sister-in-law chasing him was now sitting next to him, and the other girl he'd been ambiguous with was mentioned too.

These were basically all his emotional affairs, and he'd been completely candid about them with Chai Meicen. How embarrassing.

He got up, fetched a toolbox, and started fixing the door to his room, resolving not to humor them anymore.

But they actually started chatting over there.

Qiu Si Tong was talkative and knew how to say nice things, making Chai Meicen laugh happily.

Li Xiaonan just sat there like a block of wood, probably just waiting to eat.

Soon after, Chai Meicen said she was going to juice some fruit. This time Li Xiaonan quickly got up to help.

Qiu Si Tong immediately squatted next to Zhou Rui: "Brother Zhou Rui."

"If you've got something to say, say it. If you've got gas, fart it out."

"How can you look so cool even fixing a door?"

"I look even cooler beating up brats. You want me to give you a beating?"

"Brother Zhou Rui!"

"Speak."

"I folded you a jar of stars."

"You'd fold it with renminbi and I might like it."

"Oh..."

After Chai Meicen finished baking the egg tarts and drinking a sip of the fruit juice she made herself, Qiu Si Tong was completely won over.

"Amazing! Super delicious! This is the most delicious egg tart I've ever eaten!" Qiu Si Tong praised Chai Meicen enthusiastically.

"I often make them for Zhou Rui to eat."

"Brother Zhou Rui is so great, it must be because he eats well."

Zhou Rui took a bite and glanced at Qiu Si Tong irritably. Did this kid grow up eating flattery?

Li Xiaonan didn't know how to praise, but proved with his actions that the taste was good.

The others ate two egg tarts and were about full, but he ate four tarts and the fruit juice was gone in no time.

After eating, Chai Meicen said with a smile, "Come play again next time."

Qiu Si Tong was stunned for a moment before reacting that this was a "get lost" order. She immediately replied, "Okay, goodbye Big Sister, Brother Zhou Rui, let's go out and play!"

"I'm not going." Zhou Rui sprawled on the sofa pretending to be dead.

Li Xiaonan pushed Qiu Si Tong towards the door.

On the way out he turned back to Chai Meicen and said, "Thank you... And, it was very delicious."

"I'll make some more when school starts for you to bring over."

"Okay."

Once everyone was gone, Zhou Rui immediately jumped up and asked, "Why'd you let them in?"

"I felt your little sister-in-law was cute."

"Do you know how old she is? A middle schooler!"

"Seeing her suddenly reminded me of how I used to be. I was even more assertive than her back then."

Zhou Rui eased up a little at this. Raising an eyebrow, he asked in a naughty tone, "Assertively chasing my dad?"

"Mm-hmm."

"What kind of person was my dad?"

"Mean mouth but a simple heart, a standard softie. He was very handsome and tall... " she paused for a moment and added, "with good family background."

Just as Zhou Rui wanted to ask more, Chai Meicen kicked him: "Go wash your stinky socks! Piled up like a mountain!"

"Just throw them in the washing machine together." Zhou Rui went to the bathroom to clean up.

Chai Meicen followed behind to watch, unable to help nagging: "How can underwear be washed together with socks? Underwear has to be hand washed!"

"Scientific research shows that men's underwear is actually not cleaner than socks, so they can be washed together!"

"Scientists say a lot, do you listen to it all? Hand wash underwear!"

"Good good good, wash separately."

"This little broken thing can be washed by hand scrubbing, you still waste water and electricity twice."

Zhou Rui simply stood up and pointed to the door: "Let me work and don't command, if you want to command then don't let me work, now turn around, walk in steps."

Chai Meicen was upset for a long time, and finally said angrily: "I don't care about you anymore, be slovenly and die."

Zhou Rui had cleaned up in the bathroom and came out and asked Chai Meicen: "When you see Li Xiaonan with Qiu Si Tong, do you have any thoughts?"

"What's up, do you want me to give birth to a younger sister for you?" Chai Meicen didn't understand.

"No, haven't you ever thought of remarrying? Li Xiaonan's mother's current husband is really good. I've seen him. He looks decent, has a good temperament, and has no major flaws except for being a little short. Of course he can't compare to my Uncle Hou. "

"What do you want to say?" Chai Meicen threw the remote control on the coffee table and looked at Zhou Rui.

"I think, as long as you have feelings for each other, don't worry about remarriage. I think Uncle Hou is very good. I admit him as my dad. Even if my biological dad suddenly appeared in front of me now, I wouldn't recognize him. If he didn't die in the past 16 years, I would beat him to death if I saw him."

"Yes, if your dad comes back, I'll punch him in front of you." Chai Meicen nodded in agreement.

The most impossible thing would be reconciling with his dad.

Any beast could be easily forgiven.

"So, since you and Uncle Hou have feelings for each other..."

Chai Meicen walked towards the kitchen to tidy up, and stopped when she heard this. She turned around and looked at Zhou Rui: "Do you...know something?"

"It's just that you confessed to Uncle Hou when you were drunk." Zhou Rui went along with Hou Ranxi's words to tease Chai Meicen.

Chai Meicen couldn't stand it immediately, and slapped Zhou Rui on the forehead, startling Zhou Rui.

"Why did you hit me?" Zhou Rui asked.

Chai Meicen reacted and reached out to rub Zhou Rui's head: "Habitual hitting, felt a little shy inside and slapped reflexively."

Zhou Rui looked so wronged, both angry and amused.

Chai Meicen was so embarrassed she could die, for her son to know something like this, she had no face left.

Blushing, she struggled to explain to Zhou Rui: "It's not... I was just drunk."

"It's said that people speak the truth when drunk."

"But..." Chai Meicen pulled Zhou Rui to the sofa and sat down mother and son to chat.

Chai Meicen only had Zhou Rui to rely on, so she was willing to talk about these things with Zhou Rui.

Since the two opened their hearts last time, Chai Meicen was also willing to chat with Zhou Rui about anything.

Zhou Rui was a big kid now, with his own ideas.

She sat cross-legged next to him, slapped her thigh, and said, "Look at how Uncle Hou and I get along every day, do I have any other feelings for him?"

"No, you're like lacking nerves, you can't even tell if he's interested in you." Zhou Rui had to admit this point.

"Right, suddenly saying that I confessed to him, I feel it's not very likely either. I've never thought about being with him!"

"How about now when you think back?"

Chai Meicen covered her face, extremely troubled.

"These days I don't even dare to see him, I don't chat with him on WeChat either. Yesterday he said good night to me and I didn't reply. After this mess, I really feel his gaze at me is a bit... indeed a bit inappropriate."

Zhou Rui laughed out loud after listening: "Not easy, you're finally realizing it."

"Oh my, I haven't thought about this for more than ten years. If you ask me if I want to fall in love, I'm so old already, what else is there to love, being with me is just getting through life together, salt, oil, rice, and beating kids..."

"Wait, beating kids what?"

"My hobby."

"..."

Just as Zhou Rui was speechless, he suddenly received a message from Li Xiaonan.

Li Xiaonan: I want to ask you something.

Zhou Rui: I refuse everything regarding Qiu Si Tong.

Li Xiaonan: Can I pursue Chai Meicen?

Seeing the message, Zhou Rui almost jumped up:

What the hell!

Author's Note:

Qiu Si Tong: Hehe, can you not pursue Chai Meicen?

Li Xiaonan: Why?

Qiu Si Tong: That way when I get Zhou Rui I can call you daddy!

Li Xiaonan: ......
