It was Huo Beiming.

“Si Si, can we delay our wedding for a few days?”

I heard him say to the girl whose face I couldn’t see clearly.

Turning around, our eyes met.

I could even calmly wave to greet him.

“Si Si, you go in first. I have something to discuss with him.”

I scoffed, “I think there’s nothing left to talk about between us.”

He pretentiously ran his fingers through his hair.

His already neatly styled hair looked like a cow had licked it.

So strange.

I suddenly wanted to laugh.

I now even find this face, which I used to adore, annoying.

“Indeed, there’s nothing much to say. I just wanted to tell you.”

“I know it wasn’t you who caused the issue with Si Si. If you want to come back, you can do so anytime.”

I sneered.

“On what grounds do you think that if you let me go, I will go, and if you want me back, I should return?

“Am I your pet dog?!”

Huo Beiming raised an eyebrow, “Chen Qing, since leaving me, you’ve lowered your standards, and your words have become harsh.”

I continued to sneer, “Is it possible that I just don’t want to say what you love to hear anymore?”

Suddenly, the door behind me swung open.

Huo Mingrui came out, directly hanging onto me, his fluffy head rubbing against my cheek.

“Qing, why are you out so late?”

He said, glancing at Huo Beiming.

“Tsk, what bad luck.”

His tone was overly clear, making me doubt whether Huo Mingrui was really drunk.

I turned my head to see the expression of the mocked one but was tightly held by him.

“Alright, it’s time to sleep. Mom taught us not to play with filthy people.”

Saying this, he pulled me back into the room.

With a bang, the door shut, blocking Huo Beiming’s murderous gaze outside.

As soon as the door closed, he immediately ran to the sofa and lay down.

No matter how I poked and prodded him, he wouldn’t respond.

Even knowing he was pretending, I had no way to deal with it.

Looking out through the peephole, Huo Beiming still stood at the door like a statue.

Did he step in dog poop when he went out today?

What bad luck.

Helplessly, I had to stay in Huo Mingrui’s suite.

It had been so long since my birthday, and I finally moved into the double suite at the hot spring hotel I had always dreamed of.

However, my mood was entirely different.

The next day was free time.

I spent half the day dazed in the hotel room.

Then spent another half day dazed sitting on the steps of the hot spring.

When I came out of the hot spring, it was completely dark outside.

I rushed to the hotel lobby to eat and just happened to run into a few colleagues who had just returned from playing outside.

They forcibly dragged me over to play games.

I’ve been a gaming expert since childhood and have hardly ever lost a game.

This time was no different; before long, I wiped them out completely.

Just as I was basking in the joy of victory, someone suddenly patted my shoulder.

I turned my head and was surprised to see a mutual friend of Huo Beiming and me, our dormitory leader from university.

“You should go check it out; Old Huo and his brother are fighting.”

I was stunned for several seconds before I reacted.

“Why not call the police if they’re fighting? Why are you dragging me into this?”

By the time I spoke, the dorm leader had already pulled me along as we ran.

Since university, he had this magic power; whatever he wanted you to do always seemed to happen inexplicably.

Now it was the same.

In the blink of an eye, I found myself standing in front of Huo Mingrui and Huo Beiming.

At this moment, they were still fighting.

In the spirit of having come this far, I gave a symbolic pull.

But unexpectedly, the one who had been holding Huo Mingrui’s waist was fine.

As soon as I arrived, I received a slap from Huo Beiming.

The me now was not the same as the past, who would just endure it silently.

As both of them were still in shock, I swung my arm around and slapped Huo Beiming back hard.

Smack!

The crisp sound echoed, and everyone heard it clearly.

“How old are you two?”

My gaze swept over the two of them.

The dorm leader immediately chimed in: “Yeah, how old are you? You’re fighting over such a trivial matter.”

I then took a different angle: “Don’t you know to fight in a place with fewer people?”

To be honest, I wouldn’t care if either of them got beaten to death.

After the commotion, everyone gradually left.

The dorm leader took Huo Beiming away, and Huo Mingrui was thrown to me.

But for some reason, the drunken Huo Beiming, who could barely stand, suddenly rushed over when he saw me supporting Huo Mingrui as we left.

He pushed Huo Mingrui aside and pulled me behind him.

“Chen Qing, don’t believe him; he’s deceiving you.”

I sneered, “Huo Beiming, you have no right to say that.”

He shook my arm, his tone urgent: “I can explain our situation, but you… you can’t believe him.”

I felt a bit of pain from his grip, letting out a barely audible gasp.

The Huo brothers both heard it.

One grabbed one of my arms, and they began to fight over me again.

I was caught in the middle, like a merchant being torn apart by five horses.

Fortunately, the dorm leader pulled Huo Beiming away in time, saving me from a torn-apart fate.

On the way back, Huo Mingrui asked me, “Don’t you want to know why we were fighting?”

I shook my head.

“Huo Beiming said I was deceiving you; aren’t you curious?”

I still shook my head.

“Even though this is our first time working together, it’s not the first time we’ve met. I still know what kind of person you are.”

He chuckled, “Is that so? Then tell me, what kind of person am I?”

“A self-serving hypocrite.”

“And Huo Beiming?” he asked again.

I replied, “You’re the same kind of person; you’re just a bit better because his intelligence has been completely consumed by his sperm.”

“Ha ha ha ha. He said I was deceiving you because I told him I liked you. He thought I was trying to use you, so we ended up fighting.”

“You like me? That’s great; you have good taste.” I gave him a thumbs up.
