Help! My hunky roommate is begging me to touch his abs!

After a thoroughly enjoyable basketball game, it was already quite late.

"Come on, let's take a nice, relaxing bath, and then treat our little brother to a good meal."

Zhao Yuheng picked up a towel and spoke gently to Jin Bao'er, the eldest brother, and the second brother.

The eldest and second eldest brothers exchanged a meaningful glance: "Wow, we actually got to benefit from our younger brother's fame."

Jin Bao'er was stunned with surprise.

"I'll just treat him to a simple bowl of noodles near the school gate; why bother with a fancy meal?"

"It's not easy for my brother to come all this way, so what's wrong with treating him to a decent meal?"

Zhao Yuheng patted Jin Bao'er's shoulder affectionately and said in a firm tone.

Jin Bao'er stared at him speechlessly, wondering to herself.

Why be so nice to him?

I haven't eaten many meals with you, and you're not his real brother-in-law.

"Wow, I really have to thank Heng-ge!"

When Liu Yu heard that he was to be treated to a good meal, his eyes lit up and he didn't stand on ceremony at all.

"Okay, let's go."

Zhao Yuheng gave a simple reply.

It's a well-known Hunan cuisine restaurant. It's quite large, with two floors, and the environment is rather unique and elegant.

This was Jin Bao'er's first time here. He and Liu Yu looked around curiously, like complete country bumpkins visiting the city.

"Wow, bro, this place doesn't look cheap, does it?" Liu Yu couldn't help but exclaim first.

Before Zhao Yuheng could speak, the eldest brother interjected, "Brother, don't worry about how expensive it is, as long as you enjoy your meal."

Liu Yu looked at her boss with a blank and bewildered expression.

"That's right, your brother Heng is only truly happy when you've eaten well."

After saying that, the eldest and second eldest brothers exchanged a wicked glance and burst into unrestrained laughter.

Zhao Yuheng frowned and glanced at them, his eyes carrying a hint of warning.

Only Liu Yu was confused, feeling that Heng Ge was too good to her.

Of course, he also knew that he was benefiting from his brother's fame.

Could it be...? He glanced at Zhao Yuheng secretly, then at Jin Bao'er, as if he was trying to figure something out.

"Hey bro, want a drink?"

The eldest brother is a hearty Northeasterner who drinks almost every meal.

"I know a little, I know a little," Liu Yu replied modestly.

"Great! Waiter, give us a dozen ice-cold beers!"

Instead of serving baijiu (Chinese liquor) directly, the boss started with some beer to warm his stomach.

Soon, the leader poured everyone a full glass of wine and then downed a glass himself as an example.

The second brother and Zhao Yuheng also did their jobs readily.

Then Liu Yu calmly and unhurriedly finished her drink.

The three of them turned to look at Jin Bao'er.

Jin Bao'er took a sip and found it bitter and unpleasant to drink, her expression instantly becoming quite varied.

"Jinbao'er, you'd better finish this. I knew you guys were newbies, so I didn't give you any strong liquor."

The eldest brother advised, "There will be many more big occasions like this in the future. Drink up and practice properly."

The eldest brother was very skilled at urging others to drink; he could do it effortlessly.

All eyes were on her, and Jin Bao'er felt a little awkward and embarrassed; it was really hard to drink the beer.

Seeing this, Liu Yu, who was sitting next to him, was about to speak when Zhao Yuheng interrupted her, saying, "If you don't like it, don't drink it. I'll drink it for you."

After saying that, he picked up the wine glass in front of Jin Bao'er and downed it in one gulp.

"Oh~"

The eldest and second eldest brothers laughed strangely when they saw this.

"Your uncle spoils him, doesn't he?"

"Don't try to persuade me next time. Drinking isn't a good thing either, and you're still practicing?"

Zhao Yuheng's tone remained calm, showing no anger.

"Alright, alright, you're in charge of your Jinbao'er."

As he spoke, the eldest brother poured himself another glass and began to drink it.

Only Jin Bao'er was secretly delighted.

Heng drank from the cup he had just drunk from. Could that be considered an intimate, indirect kiss?

what! ! !

Zhao Yuheng ordered only the most substantial dishes, and luckily, these burly, muscular men had good appetites and managed to finish all ten of them.

Jin Bao'er rarely gets to eat a good meal, so she eats to her heart's content without any restraint.

After all, he's a seasoned foodie.

The meal lasted for two hours before it finally ended.

When Zhao Yuheng went to pay, Jin Bao'er followed him furtively and cautiously.

Zhao Yuheng glanced at him.

"If you want to watch, just watch openly. There's no need to be so sneaky."

Jin Bao'er thought to herself.

I was just curious about how much this meal would cost.

Hearing Heng say that, he mustered up his courage and stood confidently to the side to watch the counter and pay.

"Hello, the bill for table 12 is 656 yuan. Let me round it down to 650 yuan for you," the cashier said politely.

"OK, Alipay," Zhao Yuheng replied readily.

Please scan here.

Zhao Yuheng didn't even blink, took out his Alipay QR code, and quickly paid with a "click".

Since they were all students and ordered only home-style dishes, the total came to less than a thousand.

But this amount of money was already a lot for Jin Bao'er, more than half a month's living expenses.

It would be a lie to say I don't feel guilty. I was already attracted to his lust, and now I'm spending his money too.

What merit do I possess to deserve this?

Hey.

Zhao Yuheng turned his head and saw Jin Bao'er, who was in a bad mood. He scratched Jin Bao'er's buzz cut with his rough left hand.

"It's okay. When you become a top player, don't forget me."

After hearing this, Jin Bao'er forced a bitter smile.

Even if you become a master, so what? You don't need my money.

"How will your brother get back?" Zhao Yuheng asked with concern.

Liu Yu said she had class tomorrow morning and had to rush back tonight.

"I'll take the bus."

"I'll call you a taxi."

Zhao Yuheng made the suggestion directly.

"My place is a bit far from here, a taxi would cost fifty or sixty yuan," Liu Yu quickly refused.

Zhao Yuheng nodded and didn't press the matter further.

At this moment, Liu Yu pulled Jin Bao'er aside to a quiet place and began to whisper privately.

"Brother, it's almost the end of the month, can you give me another 500 yuan?"

Jin Bao'er looked at him with surprise: "Huh? Where would I get money?"

"My mom said she'll cut my allowance in half from now on, and I'll have to ask you for the difference," Liu Yu said matter-of-factly.

Jin Bao'er was even more surprised.

"I'm a student too! I earn my living expenses by working part-time, where would I get the money to help you with your living expenses!"

After listening, Liu Yu remained silent for a while before speaking in a low voice.

"Dad's leg has gotten worse again, and he's been to the hospital several times. Mom also has high blood pressure and diabetes, so she can't do heavy work... Therefore, she's been giving me less living expenses."

"In that case, I'll use less and go get a part-time job."

After Liu Yu finished speaking, she didn't ask Jin Bao'er for money again, and her expression was somewhat dejected.

Jin Bao'er glared at him angrily, but her heart softened: "500 yuan, you can figure out the rest yourself."

Jin Bao'er knew that Liu Yu's major required a lot of study materials, and even the study tools were quite expensive.

Moreover, in a city like Beijing where land is incredibly valuable, Liu Yu is outgoing, enjoys socializing, and always spends more money than I do.

"Thank you, brother, thank you, brother." Liu Yu looked at Jin Bao'er with a sincere expression of gratitude.

Jin Bao'er waved and turned to leave.

Back then, everyone tried to stop him from going on stage to study, but only Liu Yu supported him, which he considered a way of repaying her.

Zhao Yuheng noticed that Jin Bao'er looked unwell as she returned. After thinking for a moment, he strode over to Liu Yu, who was still waiting for the bus.

"Little brother, we've known each other for so long, let's add each other on WeChat."

Upon seeing this, Liu Yu quickly took out a QR code and scanned it.

"Little brother, the car is here, be careful on the road."

Zhao Yuheng patted Liu Yu on the shoulder, his eyes filled with a meaningful look.

"Okay, goodbye Heng-ge! Goodbye everyone!" Liu Yu waved and boarded the bus.

The school wasn't far from here, so the group took a taxi back.

"What did your brother say to you just now?" Zhao Yuheng looked down at Jin Bao'er, who was silent, and asked gently.

Jin Bao'er didn't like to hide things from Heng Ge. After all, he already knew that she was an orphan, so there was nothing she couldn't say: "If you're out of living expenses, ask me for some."

"You have money?" Zhao Yuheng raised an eyebrow, clearly surprised.

"I've saved some," Jin Bao'er replied softly.

Zhao Yuheng didn't say much after listening, but looked out the window thoughtfully, already having made up his mind.

Jin Bao'er was wondering how to scrape together 500 yuan, which she could only get from the 1 yuan student grant.

I feel a little sorry for her.
