Chapter 4 – Surprise!

When He Yan went out in the morning, Lin Zhishui hadn’t woken up yet. At this moment, seeing He Yan’s shirt with white stripes on a black background while his own shirt had black stripes on a white background, and how even the collars were the same style, he realized after the fact that these were couple shirts.

Lin Zhishui blushed heavily. He really hadn’t done it on purpose. 

The housekeeper stood at the door and smiled. This showed that there was a tacit understanding and connection between the husbands ba. 

“You can just ignore whatever they say,” He Yan said carelessly, sitting in the car. 

His group of friends had no filter, and what could you expect a group of dogs to do but bark. They had no limits to their jokes, and he was afraid that they’d scare the kid. 

However, He Yan still felt that it was necessary to bring the kid to meet his friends.

Lin Zhishui nervously grabbed the seat. Because the two people were sitting side by side, he couldn’t deliberately pull away. At this moment, Lin Zhishui could smell He Yan’s cologne. He was allergic to some fragrances and would sneeze constantly after smelling them, but this smell was very good, and even made him feel like he wanted to get closer.

“Kid, are you listening to me?” He Yan tried to be gentle.

He didn’t know where he had found so much patience to face Lin Zhishui. At least with others, he couldn’t be so gentle. 

“Ah… He-dage…” Lin Zhishui looked down somewhat guilty. “Sorry, I was just thinking. Can you say it again?”

He blinked, his eyes shining and reflecting He Yan’s face.

He Yan only now discovered that Lin Zhishui’s eyelashes seemed to be very long.

He Yan inexplicably felt a little uncomfortable. He couldn’t be angry with Lin Zhishui or act cold to him. He was afraid that it would scare him into crying. He still remembered the tearful appearance of the kid last night.

Seeing that he didn’t answer, Lin Zhishui felt that he might have made He-dage unhappy. After thinking about it, he stretched out his hands, and then pulled at the hem of He Yan’s clothes.

Once, twice, three times, four times, five times, six….

“I’m sorry, I’m in the wrong” was exactly six words. He didn’t know though if He-dage understood that. 

After waiting for a while, he saw that He-dage was still silent, and so he said somewhat dejectedly, “I… I was just thinking about what cologne you used. It smells very nice.”

He Yan let out a gentle “en.”

He usually didn’t wear such things, but when he got off work today, he saw cologne in the drawer, so he had sprayed some on.

He Yan could only draw the conclusion that the kid had a good nose. 

He turned his head and looked at Lin Zhishui’s hand that was still on his clothes, revealing his small and slender wrist. It was so thin that He Yan kept suspecting that he could break his wrist with one hand.

He was too thin, he would have to take good care of him. 

Lin Zhishui immediately withdrew his hand, pretended not to know that his ears were completely red, and looked at the scenery outside the window.

But the car window was tinted, and looking out the window, it was all gray.

He Yan twisted his fingertips and felt that they were really itchy.

Lin Zhishui followed He Yan with some trepidation. He lowered his head and clenched the hem of his clothes with one hand. His gaze went from his own clothes to He-dage’s clothes, and he flushed slightly. 

So nervous.

He Yan paused slightly, then felt a hand carefully holding the hem of his clothes. He turned his head, and looked at the kid with a slightly confused expression. 

“He-dage, I’m nervous.”

Lin Zhishui slightly raised his head and whispered, with some unconscious coquetry in his tone.

He Yan’s originally cold expression grew warmer. “Follow me?

“You can just think of them as air.”

He Yan licked his back molars and glanced over at Lin Zhishui’s hand holding his clothes. The kid seems to really like this action?

Lin Zhishui nodded, a little regretfully. 

I really want to hold hands.

The waiter who was leading the way in front straightened his back even more. How could he work in a place like The Resplendent Gold and Jade without a little self-control?

So, even if the boss and his wife were flirting behind him, he should pretend not to know about it.

“You can ring the service bell at any time if you need something. Have a good time.” The waiter who led the way bowed and retreated without looking around at all. 

He Yan pushed the door open, and Lin Zhishui stood next to him in the same position of pulling at him. Colored ribbons showered their heads and faces in the next moment. 

“Surprise!”

Several big men were holding party streamer guns in their hands, and their faces were all rippling with laughter.

He Yan’s head and clothes were covered with party streamers, and Lin Zhishui was also stunned, and then hid behind him. The streamers had also fallen on his eyelashes, and his eyes kept blinking.

He Yan tutted and turned his head to look at him. The kid looked frightened, holding his clothes in both hands and hiding half of his body behind him.

He extended his hand to help him remove the streamers on his face. Inevitably, he touched Lin Zhishui’s somewhat warm skin. His fingertips were a little cold, and Lin Zhishui shivered but didn’t move away. 

When everyone saw this scene, there was another burst of “Oooh~”

He Yan glanced at them coldly. They had long since been used to this though, and weren’t afraid of him at all. 

These friends of He Yan had all grown up together, and they were about the same age as He Yan. When they heard that He Yan had gotten married and that his partner was a boy much younger than him, they both criticized and congratulated him.

He Yan had also been a little tyrant in school when he was young. Everyone regarded him as the boss, and he could both fight viciously and get good grades. He was simply the perfect knight in the eyes of the girls.

Later, He Yan’s parents had died in a plane crash, leaving only Grandpa He and his little brother He Ting at home. He Yan suddenly grew up then, became more powerful, and remained the leader of their group.

“Wow, really cool oh, couple clothing!” Lu Shao immediately shouted, his gaze falling from He Yan to Lin Zhishui. He had the best relationship with He Yan, and he was naturally the boldest. He ignored He Yan’s gaze and wanted to go pull on Lin Zhishui’s arm.

However, before his hand could touch Lin Zhishui’s clothes, a hand appeared in the middle and very forcefully slapped his hand away. 

“Holy shitttttt!” Lu Shao jumped back several steps until he broke away from He Yan’s clutches.

Lin Zhishui blinked, looking at He Yan in a slightly puzzled fashion.

The others threw a sympathetic look at Lu Shao, and one by one, although they were afraid to be the first, they ran over to introduce themselves to Lin Zhishui. 

“Hello Sister-in-law, hello Sister-in-law!”

This title made Lin Zhishui even more embarrassed. He smiled, and his cheeks were still a little red, which made He Yan feel that the kid at this time was really a little cute.

“Hello everyone, I’m Lin Zhishui.”

“Does Sister-in-law drink?” someone asked.

He Yan chilly threw a look at that person. Before Lin Zhishui spoke, He Yan personally selected a glass of fruit juice from the table. “Don’t drink alcohol.”

Lin Zhishui took the juice obediently, glanced over the colorful alcoholic drinks on the table, and licked his dry lips.

I want to drink that.

He Yan noticed his gaze, took him to the sofa, and leaned close to his ear. He said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, “Kid, do you want to drink alcohol?”

Lin Zhishui nodded with red ears, then shook his head. He sipped the juice. It was both sour and sweet, and it was also very delicious.

He Yan chuckled and introduced everyone to him one by one.

“Chu Cheng,” He Yan pointed to the red haired man and said, “Most of the clothes at home were designed by him.”

Lin Zhishui swallowed the juice and was a bit surprised. “The famous designer?”

Chu Cheng laughed foolishly and kept calling him “Eldest Sister-in-Law.” How did he look anything like an internationally renowned designer who many people wanted to pay a lot of money to ask him to design clothes.

He Yan was somewhat dissatisfied with Lin Zhishui’s gaze staying on someone else this entire time, and immediately shifted his attention. “Wen Xu, screenwriter.”

Lin Zhishui had naturally heard of this man. His scripts had even won international awards. However, the real person looked a little chubby and didn’t look at all as scary as he was rumored to be. 

“What about me? And what about me?” Lu Shao was very dissatisfied.

He Yan glanced at him lightly, pulled Lin Zhishui’s arm, and sat a little farther away from Lu Shao. “A dandy.”

Lin Zhishui turned his head to see Lu Shao’s expression deflate, and couldn’t help laughing.

“Sister-in-law, definitely don’t listen to this nonsense. No matter what, I did invest in a few movies, right? Although they aren’t famous, I did make a little money.”

He Yan’s eyes fell on Lin Zhishui, and the kid lowered his head and drank the juice obediently. Hearing Lu Shao’s words, He Yan said, “En, alright, and when are you going to invest in one for my family’s kid?”

Lu Shao immediately agreed. They all already knew Lin Zhishui’s identity and that the purpose of He Yan’s party today was to pave the way for Lin Zhishui.

Lu Shao was still clicking his tongue in amazement. Before, they thought He Yan had been the most unlikely of them to get married, but in the end, he was the first to get married.

“Back when He-ge was in school, he was so powerful! No one in our school could beat him!” The group of people all drank too much and began to talk nonsense.

He Yan lifted his eyelids and glanced at Lin Zhishui, who was listening with relish, and in the end, didn’t stop them. He selected food on the table and put it on Lin Zhishui’s plate, so that the kid could listen to the stories while eating.

Lin Zhishui was naturally beside himself with happiness. He learned a lot from these people about He Yan’s past, and he was different from the He-dage that he knew. 

“Didn’t I say before, one time the school flower sent a love letter to He-ge. Damn it, we were so jealous of him, but He-ge didn’t even look at her. Later, he was pestered so fiercely to the point that he threatened the school flower that if she kept pestering him, she couldn’t blame him for taking action against her.”

Lin Zhishui squinted and took a bite of the cake. The cake was very sweet, and the creaminess of it tasted especially good.

He glanced over at He Yan. The other party had undone two shirt buttons and leaned against the sofa. He looked at them expressionlessly, but seeing Lin Zhishui looking at him, his expression grew a little softer.

Lin Zhishui thought for a while, spooned out a bite of the cake, and then leaned over, and handed it to him. “He-dage, do you want to eat some?”

His eyes were full of hope.

The person who was just spilling out stories stopped immediately after seeing this scene.

Holy shit, feeding He Yan?

And it was cake?

Wasn’t He Yan most disgusted with sweet food?
