After it ended, Zhou Yue Ze's face was red as he asked Xiang Han, "Sir, won't your back hurt when you do those kinds of actions?"
Xiang Han was currently reading a manhua. Hearing this made him feel puzzled, "Why would my back hurt?"
"N-Nothing," Zhou Yue Ze shook his head and quickly looked away.
Xiang Han realized that he had perspired and felt very uncomfortable. He quickly went back to take a bath, throwing down a "we'll end here for today" and left.
Zhou Yue Ze was still recalling the other person's movements from earlier and his thoughts suddenly strayed: Jiang Han's waist looked really soft, he couldn't possibly be a girl, right?
Seeing Xiang Han turn to leave, he subconsciously looked towards his thin waist and then, as if he was possessed, he pounced.
Xiang Han was completely unprepared and was suppressed on the ground in an instant. His glasses fell off, revealing his stunned expression.
Zhou Yue Ze used a knee to force his legs down, one hand holding down his right arm and another on his waist. Using a little strength to pinch, he subconsciously felt him up. There was only a single thought in his mind: It was really soft, and also very thin.
Xiang Han was once again stunned and only felt the heat from his waist followed by a ticklish feeling. The tips of his ears reddened. T-T-This, This child was actually teasing him?
Moreover, his palms were covered in sweat, touching him and pressing him on the floor. No matter how much the floor had been cleaned, they still had been stepped on before.
Xiang Han wanted to faint, itching to send the other person flying with a kick before taking a nice, long shower. Unfortunately, his legs were being suppressed. He could not kick him and could only say coldly, "Get lost!"
Zhou Yue Ze hurriedly released him. Afterwards, he was startled to realise that Jiang Han had been completely unguarded around him.
After training for so many days, Zhou Yue Ze was extremely clear that martial artists were more vigilant than normal people, extremely alert to their surroundings. This was so that once they sensed danger, they would be able to react quickly.
Jiang Han actually trusted him so much? He suddenly recalled that at the company, the other person never hid various classified documents from him.
Zhou Yue Ze's heart felt complicated, he always believed that Jiang Han only saw him as prey. Because he could not obtain it, he refused to give up. In reality, Jiang Han's feelings towards him were much deeper than he had thought.
Should he agree? But what kind of feelings should he have towards Jiang Han? Love, or gratitude?
Xiang Han would never have imagined that in that short period of time, the hole in Zhou Yue Ze's brain would widen so much and break through the horizon. At that moment, he was only concerned about finding his glasses and quickly taking a bath.
He squinted his eyes and searched around, unable to find anything. In the end, he coldly asked, "Where's my glasses?"
Zhou Yue Ze finally regained his thoughts and helped him find it under the counter.
Thinking of how his glasses had rolled on the ground and stained with dirt, Xiang Han was in a dilemma.
In the end, he gave up, "Wash it up, then send it up to my room."
Saying this, he walked away and left Zhou Yue Ze standing on the spot in a daze. He could not help thinking: 'Did Jiang Han purposely find an excuse to let me go to his room?'
Zhou Yue Ze was stuck, deciding that before he clearly thought through his feelings for Jiang Han, he should not casually cross the line in case the other person misunderstood. At that moment, he had completely forgotten about Xiang Han's mysophobia.
Two days later, the entrance examination results were out. Xiang Han helped him check and found that Zhou Yue Ze was in the first place. He could not help feeling sour.
[Little Nine, in the future, don't find straight-A students.] This scum student could not stand it.
System: […]
With the housekeeper's reminder, Xiang Han threw a banquet for Zhou Yue Ze. In the end, all those who came were business partners.
It was not a bad thing, Xiang Han simply introduced them all to Zhou Yue Ze. The two families, Zhou and Lu never came. The Zhou family dared not come while the Lu family could not come.
Zhou Yue Ze also drank a little. When he walked out of the hotel, his head was spinning.
Lu Wan suddenly appeared at this time, scaring him.
"Little- Little Ze, it's me." Her voice carried hesitation. Knowing that he had changed his name, she also changed the way she called him.
Zhou Yue Ze frowned and turned to walk away.
Lu Wan caught up with small steps but was unable to stop him, "Little Ze, I heard that you got first placed in the entire country for the exams, mum came here to congratulate you. I know you don't wish to see me, but there are some things I still want to tell you. The Zhou family's business, mum will help you protect it. Jiang Han is a very unpredictable person, never getting close to anybody. You have to leave a way out for yourself…"
"Are you done?" Zhou Yue Ze suddenly turned around, his voice icy. For some reason, he suddenly could not stand hearing others badmouth Jiang Han.
Lu Wan was frightened by his fury and suddenly realized that the youth who used to be bullied around suddenly became extremely strong and stern; he was no longer a pushover.
When she finally came back to her senses, the other person had already walked far away while she had been restrained by the bodyguards.
She continued to shout, "If there is a day where you are sick of it, mum will help you leave a way out."
But as if he hadn't heard anything, Zhou Yue Ze continued to walk towards Xiang Han, his actions more intimate than usual. The two spoke for a while before getting in a car and leaving.
Lu Wan stood there in a daze, feeling helpless beyond words.
In the car, Xiang Han had drunk a little too much and when he spoke, his voice carried a hint of intoxication. "Why was she looking for you?"
"Nothing, she has nothing better to do." Zhou Yue Ze's voice was unhappy, clearly indicating that he did not wish to continue this conversation topic.
Currently, Lu Wan had already entered the Zhou Company and joined forces with the Lu Family to force the Zhou Family to send Zhou Yue Qing away. Half a month ago, Zhou Yue Qing went abroad while Zhou Chengxi was being suppressed by the Lu Family until he could hardly breathe. As for Ji Wei, after being abandoned by her son, her mood was bad and her life wasn't smooth sailing either.
Xiang Han never thought they would actually have an internal conflict. If things continued to progress in this direction, Zhou Yue Ze probably wouldn't even need to do anything before they ruined themselves.
[Hey, Little Nine, this can't be considered as taking revenge on behalf of the protagonist, right? I only did two minor things but they already tormented themselves to this stage.]
System: […Let's wait for Mr. Dean to come back first.] What could he say? He was only a combat system.
Xiang Han chatted with System for a while before he fell asleep. Zhou Yue Ze was currently intoxicated and when his gaze fell on the sleeping figure, he was dazed. After a moment, as if he had fallen under a spell, he slowly moved forward and pressed his lips against Xiang Han's.
The other person's lips were exactly what he had imagined, soft and carried a hint of alcohol fragrance. His tongue subconsciously licked his lips, savouring the sweet and numb after-taste as his expression was filled with intoxication.
The driver watched the entire scene from the rearview mirror and suffered a fright, his hands trembled and the car swayed a little. Zhou Yue Ze suddenly woke up, the electric shock he felt earlier had subsided. He subconsciously touched his own lips, as if unable to believe what he had just done.
After he recovered, he immediately glanced at the driver and warned him coldly, "Watch what you say."
The driver quickly nodded, breaking out in a cold sweat.
When they returned, Zhou Yue Ze felt that his emotions were in a mess and began to avoid Xiang Han.
In the face of this, Xiang Han couldn't help but sigh: The son has grown up, there's no place for the father.
As for university, Zhou Yue Ze chose to go into University A. After the school break, his internship also came to an end. In order to build up his experience, Xiang Han directly gave him a small company for him to manage. It'll be good if the company could profit, but it didn't matter even if it collapsed.
After receiving the company, Zhou Yue Ze returned home less frequently than before. He was usually either at school or the office.
A year later, the company that had been on the verge of collapsing miraculously recovered and business was booming, reaping the highest profit in the last three years. Xiang Han did not doubt that if he gave Zhou Yue Ze a few more years, that company would become the most profitable one under the Jiang Corporation.
But there was no longer any meaning, this small pond was not big enough for Zhou Yue Ze to work for. At the end of the year, he transferred him over to the marketing department of his main company, letting him start from the bottom and gain experience.
When Zhou Yue Ze went to the main company, they were coincidentally having an annual dinner and he was called to stay back to join the party. He thought that Xiang Han was also there, and thus, did not leave. But after drinking for a long time, he didn't even see the shadow of that man and inevitably felt disappointed.
Excluding the occasional brief exchanges, he had not seen Xiang Han for more than half a year.
That day after he kissed Xiang Han, he kept thinking that it was merely a moment of recklessness and began to avoid him. But after hiding for a few months, he realised that the feeling of longing he had towards Xiang Han did not diminish in the slightest and instead, grew day by day.
At this point, he understood. He did not have any excuses, he had fallen for him. Thankfully, the other man also liked him, so there wasn't anything bad about it.
Thinking of this, Zhou Yue Ze was elated and even wanted to fly over and tell him immediately. Xiang Han liked him so much, after knowing this, he should be extremely happy, right?
But after he calmed down, he felt that it was not right. Xiang Han had done so many things for him, but he seemed to not have done anything for the other person before. Zhou Yue Ze wished for a relationship between two equals. He also wanted to do something for him.
After thinking for a long time, he finally decided to first save the small company from the brink of collapse and after business picked up, he will gift it to Xiang Han. Perhaps, he might not even look at something so minor, but at least it was his own effort.
So when he reported to the main office, Zhou Yue Ze's heart was filled with anticipation. He had even imagined that the person listening to his report was Xiang Han. But the reality was cruel, Xiang Han did not even come to the office that day. In the end he left with a belly full of wine, walking towards a taxi with unsteady steps.
At this time, Xiang Han was currently enjoying a hotpot dinner with Housekeeper Zhang. A year had passed and the influence of the original host had reduced a lot. Using a common serving spoon, the two of them could still enjoy from the same pot.
When Zhou Yue Ze came back and saw this scene, his eyes were filled with jealousy: Jiang Han was actually eating hotpot with the housekeeper. He had never eaten hotpot with me before, didn't he have mysophobia?
The housekeeper saw him and immediately stood up and asked, "Young Master, you're back. Have you eaten? If not I'll go get an extra set of cutlery from the kitchen."
Zhou Yue Ze quickly nodded and seeing that Xiang Han did not say anything, he sat directly across from him. When the housekeeper came back with an extra set of cutlery, he directly used his chopsticks to pick up the food, not bothering about the serving spoon.
Xiang Han immediately lost his appetite and put down his chopsticks. Noticing the smell of alcohol, he left another instruction for the housekeeper, "Boil some sobering soup later."
Zhou Yue Ze froze. After a moment, he could not help but think: Jiang Han was probably the only person in the world that treats him the best. Coincidentally, he likes Jiang Han and Jiang Han also liked him.
Zhou Yue Ze was drunk. Seeing Xiang Han stand up, he also stood up and followed unsteadily. When he finally caught up, he accidentally tripped over himself.
After smelling the alcohol on him, Xiang Han did not want to support him but he also could not watch as the other person bumped into the stairs. He finally endured his discomfort, reaching out his golden hand to help him.
Zhou Yue Ze unexpectedly used his momentum to throw himself forward and hugged Xiang Han, whispering against his neck, "…Jiang Han, I want to tell you something. I also like you, are you happy? I'm giving the company to you as a present, do you like it…?"
A hot and humid breath continuously fanned against his neck, drilling under his collar and carried a hint of alcoholic smell. Xiang Han's scalp grew numb and he felt as if there were countless insects crawling over his neck. He couldn't stand it and directly kicked Zhou Yue Ze away, forcefully rubbing his neck, wanting to take a bath immediately.
Moreover, because Zhou Yue Ze's voice was too low, and his words were slurred, Xiang Han could not clearly hear what he had said. He only knew that Zhou Yue Ze was confessing to someone, and even wanted to gift the company to them as a present.
In the first place, that company was his, yet this rascal wanted to use it to please another person, he was really generous.
Xiang Han was annoyed, feeling that he had really raised an ungrateful son. Once he found a lover, he forgot about his father.
After Zhou Yue Ze fell to the ground, he quickly awoke from his stupor. Xiang Han had not used much strength so he didn't feel pain, but he was confused: Didn't Jiang Han like him? He had confessed, but why was Xiang Han not happy, and instead, kicked him?
