“Alright, I noticed that you looked lost, so I want to help you, brother!” George threw out his inner thoughts, “I’m very good at pursuing girls. Since we’re brothers now, do you want me to teach you a few moves?” George leaned over shamelessly once more and placed his arm over the other’s shoulder as if they both shared a good relationship.
Xiao Su was not used to men putting their arm over his shoulders. However, George was so enthusiastic that he could only stand up and push him away. “No need.”
“Why not? Could it be that you’ve already successfully pursued her? Seriously, brother, although I seem carefree, I’m super steady. The methods I’ll teach you… will surely be effective.”
Xiao Su stepped forward and walked toward the balcony. Seeing this, George immediately followed after.
When it was time to have lunch, Xiao Su was already so entangled with George that he almost could not speak and he looked as if life was meaningless. When Ye Moxuan came back from work, the number of people who would be eating lunch suddenly turned into five.
He paused when he saw George. Then, he took off his jacket and gave George a mild look. “Why are you here?’
This immediately triggered George who jumped and exclaimed, “Can’t I be here?”
Ye Moxuan did not answer. He pressed his thin lips for a moment before hanging his jacket on the shelf at the side. George walked over and started accusing him, “I haven’t even started about you. If Muzi didn’t tell me that you guys are returning home, were you never planning to tell me? Then when I find out, you would already have returned to China? Yuchi, are we not good brothers anymore?”
“Do you know what you look like when you’re spouting nonsense like this?” Ye Moxuan asked.
George’s expression was dark. “You want to say I’m long-winded like a mother?”
Ye Moxuan nodded in self-satisfaction. “It seems that you’re still a little self-aware.”
Hearing this, George almost exploded. At this time, Han Muzi stepped out after her nap. Seeing her, George immediately went to her to seek justice. “Muzi, you’ve appeared at just the right time. Come defend me. This fellow said that I’m long-winded like a mother. How can a brother say such things?”
Hearing this, she glanced at him with a strange look and pursed her lips before saying, “But… I think so too.”
“Muzi, I didn’t take you for the kind of person who would make things worse. You have to know that I worked hard to match the two of you before. Now that you two are together, you can’t do this to me,” said George.
Han Muzi blinked and thought about it carefully. George had indeed helped them a lot. If it were not for him, she would not have been able to get together with Ye Moxuan so smoothly. Not to mention the subsequent developments.
Thinking of this, Han Muzi looked at Ye Moxuan. “Let him be. Don’t ridicule him anymore. He was forced to go on blind dates by his family for a week, so he’s quite pitiful.”
Ye Moxuan nodded. “Okay, I’ll listen to Mrs. Ye.”
George thought, What should I do if I feel like I’ve been made a fool?
At this time, the kitchen door opened. Yan walked out with a pot of soup. “Let’s eat.”
Xiao Su walked over quickly. “Allow me.”
After passing the pot of soup that was in her hands to him, Yan turned around to bring out the other dishes. Everyone helped. Soon, the dishes that Yan prepared were all served on the table. The room was quickly filled with the aroma of the food. After taking a whiff of the food, George felt that he was ascending to heaven.
After taking a few bites, George sighed. “Damn, Muzi, her cooking skills are better than yours!”
Han Muzi glanced at him and said, “Yan is very skilled at cooking while I only cook in my spare time. We’re incomparable.”
“Wow!” George glanced at Yan. “If someone were to marry Yan, wouldn’t that person be in bliss?” After talking, he glanced at Xiao Su with a wavering gaze.
Xiao Su was speechless. He lowered his head indifferently to eat, but the tips of his ears were red. It exposed his inner feelings. Seeing him like this, George sighed silently in his heart. I just made a joke but my brother is already so shy? How can he pursue a girl like this?
Yan probably understood George’s words. She stood up; her voice and tone sounded a little cold as she said, “I’ll go and check if I’ve turned off the stove.” Then, she turned around and went to the kitchen.
Everyone else was quiet. George swallowed his food and glanced at Han Muzi who was opposite him. “Muzi, what I just said… Was she offended by it?”
Han Muzi glanced at George and shrugged her shoulders, showing that she was not too sure of it herself. Then, she wanted to pick up some ribs with her chopsticks but the ribs were too far away. If she wanted to take some, she needed to stand up. However, Han Muzi was too lazy. After a while, she gave up and just picked up the food that was in front of her.
Unexpectedly, Ye Moxuan picked up a piece of rib and placed it into her bowl. Han Muzi looked at him in amazement. He paid attention!
Seeing their public display of affection, George, who was next to them, showed a bitter and sad face. He did not expect this to happen when he was just having a meal. However, after thinking about it, it seemed that someone else was having it worse, and that person was Xiao Su, who was sitting next to him. George planned to match them up with what he said earlier, but he unexpectedly stepped on the girl’s tail.
At this moment… Xiao Su should have felt a blow to the heart. George quietly leaned over to Xiao Su and whispered, “Brother, I didn’t mean to stir things up. I take you as a brother and would never do such things.”
Hearing that, Xiao Su did not even lift his eyes and only responded casually, “I know.”
“That’s good.” George was relieved and patted his chest. “Don’t worry. As long as I’m here, I’ll definitely help you out, brother.”
Xiao Su did not know what to say. After a moment of silence, he glanced sideways at the people around him. “No need. I’m afraid that the more you try to help, the more trouble you’ll cause.”
It’s just like what happened earlier, no?
The smile on George’s lips froze for a moment. He actually said that the more I try to help, the more trouble I would cause. F*ck! He felt as if he was being stabbed in the heart.
When Yan came back, George did not dare to talk nonsense anymore. If he made this woman mad again, Xiao Su would probably blame him to death. After the meal was over, George did not have the time to sit down and enjoy the fruits. He rushed back after looking at his grandfather’s missed calls. When George had left, Xiao Su was relieved.
In the afternoon, Yu Bo brought back Little Bean. These days, Little Bean had been at the Yuchi residence accompanying his great-grandfather. When Han Muzi saw him, she momentarily lost her train of thought and the two immediately hugged.
Yu Bo watched the scene in front of him and said slowly, “Old Master said that in the next few days, until you and Young Master Xuan return to China, Little Bean should stay with you.”
Han Muzi was stunned for a moment, then she raised her head to meet Yu Bo’s eyes. “This is what Grandfather wants?”
