Chen Jingmo silently took off his coat and threw it on the bed. He squatted down by the bed with his phone in his hand and whispered, "Lu Sui, even though you're dating him, it's too early to do that kind of thing. You haven't had any contact with him before."

Lu Sui is delicate; her knees are bruised and she walks awkwardly. If it were Za, it would definitely be very awkward, but Lu Sui isn't, so it probably hasn't gotten to that point yet.

"You don't understand relationships. Don't end up being taken advantage of and deceived—"

"Shut up."

"……obedient."

"When have I ever listened to anyone?"

Chen Jingmo said, "No, that's all. He's your boyfriend. If you don't understand anything about this, just ask him."

Lu Sui tapped the screen with her fingernails, using silence to express her dissatisfaction.

"What are you doing?" Chen Jingmo asked irritably.

"You're making me angry." Lu Sui continued knocking. "I'll hit you."

Chen Jingmo was almost driven mad by his cuteness, but still refused, "I only have that one movie. Don't even think about finding it yourself. The stuff in it is disgusting and ugly. It'll make you traumatized and unable to drink milk tea!"

"Please listen to me, okay?

Snapped.

Lu Sui hung up the video call.

Chen Jingmo took a deep breath and sent Lu Sui an introductory video and a video about [something else].

Lu Sui sat on the ground wearing headphones and watched. After watching, he sent the message to Shen Qinghuai, then withdrew it.

Shen Qinghuai understood.

He doesn't need to see it.

Shen Qinghuai was puzzled. He went to collect Lu Sui's clothes, sheets and pillowcases, folded them up and carried them to Lu Sui's door. He saw that Lu Sui was still sitting barefoot on the ground and knocked on the door twice.

Lu Sui took off her headphones and looked at him.

"Your clothes."

"Throw it away, no."

Shen Qinghuai didn't throw it away. He put the things back in Lu Sui's wardrobe, picked up his own clothes from the floor, and before he could even take a picture, Lu Sui threw the earphones at him. The earphones bounced off the floor and the case broke open. "You're not allowed to wear these clothes. Throw them out."

Wen Chengyu touched the clothes, so they won't let me wear them.

Shen Qinghuai hummed in agreement, then tossed the jacket back onto the ground, picked it up, patted it off, and asked, "Do you need to wash your clothes?"

Shen Qinghuai was very patient; patience was the last thing he lacked, as if he had no temper. "Should I take off my pajamas now and change into them, or tonight?"

"Now." Lu Sui got up from the floor and went to the bathroom. Shen Qinghuai found him pajamas. After the bathroom door closed, Shen Qinghuai took his and Lu Sui's coats and went out. He threw Lu Sui's coat into the washing machine and his own coat into the... trash can.

It's a bit of a pity.

I haven't worn it more than a few times.

The doorbell rang, and he went to open the door. There were two people standing outside. One was the delivery guy from this morning, carrying a cardboard bag in his left hand and a food container in his right. The other was dressed very fashionably and leaned against the wall like he had no bones.

"This is the milk tea and meal that Young Master Chen bought for Young Master Lu."

"Thank you." Shen Qinghuai took the food. The delivery guy said "You're welcome" and left. He looked at the other man.

"You're Mr. Shen?" Song Sinian sized up Shen Qinghuai's figure. "How so?"

"?"

"Young Master Lu asked me to take your measurements and have clothes made. Didn't he tell you?"

Shen Qinghuai paused for a moment and stepped aside. "Thank you for your help."

After Song Sinian went inside, Shen Qinghuai closed the door, put everything he was carrying on the table, and then gave Song Sinian shoe covers. He had seen them earlier when he was looking for the first-aid kit; there were shoe covers in three different places in the living room, as if they were deliberately hidden.

Chen Jingmo: Lu Sui throws my slippers whenever he gets angry. Even if I hide them, he can find them and throw them all away. I don't want to go barefoot, so I have to buy some shoe covers. But does Lu Sui have surveillance cameras? How come he can find me every time? It's infuriating.

While taking Shen Qinghuai's measurements, Song Sinian took notes. After finishing, he asked, "Where is Young Master Lu?"

"Taking a shower."

Song Sinian's expression changed instantly. "A bath is good, a bath is good. I won't disturb you any longer, I'll take my leave first."

"..."

Shen Qinghuai went to the bedroom, where Lu Sui was plugging in the hair dryer.

"Do you need my help?"

"unnecessary."

Shen Qinghuai had roughly figured out Lu Sui's personality. He reached for the hair dryer in Lu Sui's hand, and Lu Sui glared at him. He apologized and said, "I shouldn't have touched you so recklessly."

"Chen Jingmo's takeout has arrived, along with milk tea. Would you like some?"

"……Um."

"I'll get it for you." Shen Qinghuai took the hair dryer from Lu Sui's hand, went outside to put a straw in the milk tea for Lu Sui, found socks for him to wear, washed his hands, turned on the hair dryer, felt the temperature, and then blew it on Lu Sui.

The milk tea was wrapped in a heating pad, so it hadn't cooled down yet and had maintained a suitable temperature. Lu Sui sucked on the pearls and taro balls through the straw, took a sip, and then let Shen Qinghuai drink it.

Having eaten his favorite food and knowing that Shen Qinghuai hadn't bullied him earlier, his expression softened considerably.

Seeing that he was making a move, Shen Qinghuai pulled the hairdryer away and turned it off.

"You think I'm dirty?"

"no."

Avoiding Lu Sui's gaze, Shen Qinghuai put the straw in his mouth, but his throat suddenly felt dry. He took two sips of milk tea, but felt even thirstier.

Lu Sui pushed his face away with her fingers, saying, "You drank too much."

It's going to be gone.

"Let go."

Shen Qinghuai swallowed hard, his eyelids twitched slightly, and his voice carried a hint of embarrassment, "I'm sorry."

"Do you like to drink it?" Lu Sui asked.

"……Um."

"This is the only cup left," Lu Sui said, taking several sips before handing the rest over, chewing on the tapioca pearls, "Half for each of us."

"No need, you can do it yourself—"

"Oh." Lu Sui drank it himself.

After blow-drying Lu Sui's hair and tying it up, Shen Qinghuai went out to eat with him. He imitated Chen Jingmo by serving Lu Sui soup and vegetables. After Lu Sui took a couple of sips of soup, he said, "Thank you for having someone make clothes for me."

"But it must be very expensive—"

Lu Sui gave him a cold look. "Shen Qinghuai, spit out the milk tea you just drank."

"……Feel sorry."

"Your Majesty, your grandson has sent you a video call..."

Lu Sui placed his phone on the phone stand. "Chen Jingmo."

"Are you eating?"

"Um."

"Is it tasty?"

"It doesn't taste good."

Chen Jingmo smiled and said, "Is it because I wasn't here? You eat your food properly, see you at school tomorrow morning."

Lu Sui asked, "Aren't you coming to find me?"

"Isn't Shen Qinghuai here?" Chen Jingmo said loudly, "Shen Qinghuai, take good care of Lu Sui, don't make him angry, do your job as a boyfriend, kisses, hugs, and piggyback rides are a must, and you have to praise him too—"

Snapped.

Lu Sui turned off her phone, lowered her eyes, and ate quietly.

What? Kisses, hugs, lifting him up high, and then praising him... Is he a three-year-old?

"Hey? I haven't finished speaking yet, why did you hang up again?" Chen Jingmo muttered a couple of times, pulled his suitcase closed. His card had been frozen before, so he didn't have the money to buy the room downstairs from Lu Sui. Now that the card was unfrozen, he had to go buy it right away. He couldn't stay at home for even a moment longer.

Knock knock.

There was a knock on the door. Chen Jingmo walked to the door and habitually looked through the peephole. Standing outside was Shi Qianqiu, dressed in a suit and wearing gold-rimmed glasses. His eyelashes fluttered several times before he opened the door, his gaze shifting elsewhere, his expression calm and collected. "Is there something you need, brother?"
