Host! I told you to do a task! I didn't tell you to bbb.

Only when he got closer did Mo Chengyan see his little scheme.

Mo Chengyuan, who always buttons his shirts all the way up, had two buttons undone today.

She revealed a bit of her collarbone, and even her usually meticulously combed hair had two wisps left loose in front of her forehead, making her look less cold and hard and more gentle.

But that gentleness shattered instantly when she saw Liu Yunshu linking arms with Mo Chengyan.

Mo Chengyuan strode over, his gaze first falling on the cat plush toy in Liu Yunshu's arms.

His gaze swept over the two women's intertwined arms, finally settling on Liu Yunshu's face as he softly asked, "Yunshu, did you have fun?"

Liu Yunshu subconsciously released Mo Chengyan's arm, hugged the doll, and moved closer to him, her voice softening: "A-Yuan? What brings you here? Weren't you busy with work?"

No matter how busy I am, nothing is more important than spending time with you.

Mo Chengyuan reached out and ruffled her bun, his fingertips brushing against the pale yellow hair ribbon. His tone carried a hint of barely perceptible grievance as he said, "I was afraid you'd be kidnapped, so I came to check on you."

These words, ostensibly expressing concern for her, were actually a veiled jab at Mo Chengyan.

Mo Chengyan clenched his fists, about to speak in rebuttal.

Then Mo Chengyuan took out a velvet box from his suit pocket, and with a flick of his finger, he revealed a silver chain lying inside.

The chain is adorned with a small cat pendant, its eyes made of tiny blue diamonds, perfectly matching the eyes and eyebrows of the doll in Liu Yunshu's arms.

"I just passed by a jewelry store, and seeing it reminded me of you."

Mo Chengyuan picked up the necklace, gesturing for her to turn around. He gently brushed his fingertips across the back of her neck, his movements so tender they seemed to melt your heart. "Don't move, I'll put it on for you."

Liu Yunshu obediently turned around, feeling the warmth of his fingertips, a hint of a smile flashing in her eyes.

These two brothers are so straightforward even when they're vying for favor.

Mo Chengyan stood to the side, watching the necklace around her neck, but could only watch helplessly, without even a chance to interject.

After putting on the necklace, Mo Chengyuan picked up her ice cream, scooped a spoonful, and brought it to her lips, his tone indulgent: "Try it, is it your preferred sweetness?"

Liu Yunshu opened her mouth and ate it. The sweet, cool strawberry flavor melted in her mouth. She nodded, "Delicious!"

Mo Chengyuan scooped up another spoonful, but this time he didn't hand it over. Instead, he tasted it himself and raised an eyebrow at Mo Chengyan.

"It's really good, would you like to try some?"

The possessiveness in his tone was like a declaration, "I touched her things first."

Mo Chengyan looked at his provocative gaze and was about to refuse.

Liu Yunshu picked up her spoon, scooped up a spoonful, and held it to his lips: "Mo Chengyan, you should try some too, it's really sweet!"

Mo Chengyan gave him a smug smile, then immediately opened her mouth and ate it. The strawberry flavor mixed with the warmth of her fingertips was incredibly sweet.

As Mo Chengyuan watched this scene, the ice in his eyes grew even thicker.

He reached out and pulled Liu Yunshu closer to him, his tone authoritative and unyielding: "I'll play with you from now on. Where do you want to go?"

Liu Yunshu glanced at Mo Chengyuan's taut jawline, then at the barely concealed disappointment in Mo Chengyan's eyes, and deliberately shook the cat plush toy in her arms.

"I want to ride a Ferris wheel! I heard that if you go up to the highest point, you can be with the person you love forever!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Mo Chengyuan and Mo Chengyan spoke almost simultaneously: "I'll go with you!"

The two exchanged a glance, and the air instantly filled with a sense of tension.

Seeing the tense atmosphere between the two, Liu Yunshu couldn't help but smile. She deliberately held the cat plush toy in the middle and said softly, "Then let's all three of us do it together!"

He then ran off, leaving behind a trail of light laughter.

Mo Chengyuan and Mo Chengyan exchanged a glance, neither of them making the first move.

But a few seconds later, they started walking almost simultaneously, one on the left and one on the right, even their paces were inexplicably in sync.

As the three people walked forward, several girls appeared behind them.

"Oh my god! Is it two men fighting over one woman?!"

"That's not all! Look at those two boys, they look exactly alike! Could it be...?"

"twin!"

Several people exclaimed in unison, their voices filled with unbelievable excitement, as they secretly pointed their phone cameras at the three people's backs.

"That girl is so cute!"

"Yes, yes, it makes my heart flutter!"

"Do you guys think we could... um?"

Wow! That's amazing!

"Double the price!"

As the Ferris wheel slowly ascended, Liu Yunshu peered out the window, occasionally pointing at the carousel below and exclaiming, "Look! It will be even more beautiful at night with the lights on!"

Mo Chengyuan gently wrapped his arms around her waist from behind, resting his chin on the top of her head, his breath filled with her sweet fragrance: "I'll bring you again this weekend, okay?"

Liu Yunshu turned her head, her nose brushing against his warm chin, and nodded with a smile: "Okay."

This intimate scene, as seen by Mo Chengyan, felt like a fine needle gently pricking his heart.

"Mo Chengyan! Do you want to come along?"

Mo Chengyan curled his fingertips slightly, his gaze sweeping over the smile in Liu Yunshu's eyes.

She met Mo Chengyuan's warning gaze again, and raised an eyebrow at him triumphantly, "Okay, I'll definitely come along!"

Liu Yunshu turned to look at Mo Chengyuan, only to be met with the tenderness in his eyes.

She gently poked his collar, which was unbuttoned by two buttons: "Ah Yuan, why didn't you button it all the way up today?"

Mo Chengyuan's ears turned slightly red, and he reached out and pressed her fingers into his palm: "Thinking about it this way... will make me look more like the way you like me."

These words were straightforward and honest, and Liu Yunshu's heart skipped a beat. Her fingertips curled slightly in his palm.

The Ferris wheel had just reached its highest point, and the sunset outside the window stretched across the sky, blending the three people's shadows into a warm orange hue.

"Ah Yuan, let's take a picture together!" Liu Yunshu took out her phone, her fingertips still warm with excitement as she unlocked the screen.

Mo Chengyuan agreed almost immediately, tightening his arms around her to keep her firmly in his embrace.

"Mo Chengyan, come here quickly!" Liu Yunshu waved to Mo Chengyan.

Mo Chengyan's eyes lit up, ignoring the cold gaze that Mo Chengyuan was casting.

He quickly moved to Liu Yunshu's other side and deliberately leaned closer to her, his shoulder almost touching her arm.

"What angle should we shoot from? I'll do whatever you say." His tone was filled with barely concealed excitement, and even his fingertips were subtly tense, afraid of missing this rare opportunity to be in the same frame.

Liu Yunshu raised her phone, framed the sunset outside the window and the three figures in the screen, and adjusted the position with a smile.

"Get closer, otherwise I won't be able to get a picture of your faces."

Mo Chengyuan turned his head to the side, his chin gently brushing against the top of her head. His gaze fell on the camera, and the tenderness in his eyes was almost overflowing.

Mo Chengyan leaned forward slightly, deliberately making his profile symmetrical with Mo Chengyuan's on either side of her, and secretly made a victory sign that was not easily noticed.

With a "click," the image froze.

The warm orange sunset spread across the sky, and Liu Yunshu smiled with her eyes crinkling, the cat doll in her arms peeking out with half its head.

Mo Chengyuan wrapped his arms around her waist, and Mo Chengyan leaned against her shoulder. The two men, who looked alike, both had a tenderness in their eyes that was reserved only for her.

When they returned to the villa entrance, Mo Chengyan waved goodbye to Liu Yunshu with reluctance.

"Yunshu baby, I'm going back now."

"Mo Chengyan, where do you live?" Liu Yunshu asked him curiously.

Mo Chengyan's mind raced, and he lowered his eyes, feigning grievance.

"I had rented an apartment nearby, but I just got a message saying the water pipe burst, so tonight... I guess I have nowhere to go."

Before he could finish speaking, Mo Chengyuan's voice turned cold: "The apartment's water pipe burst. Can't you contact the property management for repairs? Or stay at a hotel for the night. Is it really necessary to talk about such a small matter here?"

Mo Chengyan seemed not to hear Mo Chengyuan's words, and looked at Liu Yunshu pitifully, even his voice softening.

"Yun Shu, I know this is inconvenient, but my luggage is still in the apartment and I don't have much cash on me..."

"Oh my god!" Liu Yunshu looked up at Mo Chengyuan, held his hand, and gently shook her head, her eyes full of soft pleading.

"Ah Yuan, Mo Chengyan is so pitiful, why don't we let him stay at home?"

Mo Chengyuan looked down at Liu Yunshu's upturned face. The softness in her eyes was like cotton soaked in honey, making it impossible for him to even utter a word of refusal.

[This shameless person is actually his brother! Damn it!]

In the end, he could only lower his voice and compromise with a hint of reluctance: "You can only stay in the guest rooms, and you are not allowed to enter Yun Shu's room without permission."

These words were clearly meant for Mo Chengyan's ears.

But Mo Chengyan deliberately ignored the warning at the end, took two steps to get closer to Liu Yunshu, bent down and rubbed against her arm, like a large dog that had gotten a good deal.

"Thank you, Yunshu! I promise I'll stay in the guest room and won't cause any trouble!"

Liu Yunshu laughed out loud at his joke and patted his arm, saying, "Go on in."

As she spoke, she pulled Mo Chengyuan toward the living room, unaware of the exchange of glances between the two behind her.

One was full of smugness, the other full of vigilance; the tension was quietly building again.

late at night.

Mo Chengyan was awakened by a familiar heat, and fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

He looked down at his good brother, his eyes filled with surprise and dissatisfaction.

[Mo Chengyuan, that big ice block, must be doing this on purpose! He knows perfectly well... Damn it!]

Mo Chengyan couldn't help but curse under his breath.

He then got up and went to Liu Yunshu's room.

Just as I reached the door, I heard Liu Yunshu's charming voice.

"A-Yuan~"

"I am here……"

Mo Chengyan's eyes were red, and he leaned against the wall with one hand, breathing heavily a few times.

A loud "bang" came from the doorway.

"Ah Yuan~ Why are you doing push-ups against the door again! Your arms will get really sore!"

"Yun Shu, be good~ Just do a few sets."

Mo Chengyan stood frozen in place, the redness from the tips of his ears spreading down his neck, and even his breathing became rapid.

He knew exactly how to do a push-up, and he wanted to do it again next time...

Now he could only cover the spot where the sound was coming from with one hand, and with the other...

At that moment, he was with Yun Shu...
