Chapter 1215 Come to the door

"Problems that can be solved with money aren't really problems. The way Zhou Yiming is expressing his love for me now is like he's solving a problem that isn't even a problem. That's just being perfunctory, and I don't like perfunctory love!"

Hui Zi said with some melancholy, "Actually, when two people are together, what matters is that they are sincere with each other!"

"If you love, love deeply, just like me!" Huizi said sincerely.

"For this, I'm willing to give up the opportunity and future I've already gained, because I'm sincere towards him, and I hope he can be sincere towards me too, do you understand?"

After Hui Zi finished speaking, Lin Hao and Jia Kuan were speechless. She really was a troublemaker. It seemed that Zhou Yiming was probably trapped.

However, this is Zhou Yiming's business, and Huizi herself is not a bad woman, so they can't say anything and can only offer their blessings.

"understand!"

"Yeah!"

Lin Hao and Jia Kuan gave perfunctory responses, while Hui Zi said with a sincere expression:

"Actually, I want to be with him properly. I don't want anything, I just want a promise from him!"

"Now I understand!" Lin Hao found it somewhat amusing, a little pretentious, but he still joked:

"You don't want his money, but you're taking his life!"

Hui Zi didn't catch the joke in Lin Hao's words, and instead said seriously, "I want to kill him!"

"My current dream is to one day be able to serve him until he leaves!" Seeing the same look in Lin Hao's and Jia Kuan's eyes, Hui Zi immediately realized that her words had caused them to misunderstand, so she quickly explained, "I'm not cursing him!"

"I understand what you mean!" Lin Hao nodded with a smile and said, "It probably means you want to grow old with him!"

"From a scientific point of view, he should definitely be ahead of you!"

Lin Hao and Hui Zi's conversation was so funny that Jia Kuan almost laughed himself to death. Lin Hao quietly kicked Jia Kuan to tell him to tone it down.

Then Lin Hao said in a serious tone:

"Actually, I think you don't need to come to us. You can just tell him your true thoughts directly!"

"No way!" Huizi immediately refused.

"You might not know this, but although he seems quite capable, he's actually quite afraid of our kind of relationship!"

“He doesn’t like me clinging to him, but I love being with him all the time. If I tell him about this, he’ll think I’m just doing whatever I want.”

“They’ll think I’m being immature, and then we’ll grow further and further apart, and he might even leave me. That’s why I thought of asking my two brothers-in-law for help!”

"Because I know that you two have a very strong relationship and you have your own way of communicating!"

"And he listens to what you say. I really, really like Uncle. It's the kind of liking that makes me want to be with him for the rest of my life!"

"But I really don't know what to do now, so that's why I came to you two!" Hui Zi looked at Lin Hao and Jia Kuan earnestly.

"Here, you guys eat first!" Huizi then opened another box of cake and said, "Brother-in-law, have some cake!"

Not far away, Liu Yingxia and Jian Ai, who had just returned from buying milk tea, saw Lin Hao, Jia Kuan, and Hui Zi chatting.

"Who are they chatting with?" Liu Yingxia asked with some suspicion. "And they even brought gifts!"

"I don't know!" Jane said curiously.

"Look at that table!" Liu Yingxia exclaimed when she saw Jia Kuan eating cake. "Oh, he's actually eating it!"

Seeing Liu Yingxia's expression, Jane Ai said with amusement, "You're looking quite closely!"

As they spoke, the two of them instinctively found seats at the front desk on the first floor and began to look around.

"Why are you still chatting after all this time!" Liu Yingxia, seeing the three of them getting more and more engrossed in their conversation, became a little restless and asked:

"If we're going to talk business, why don't we go to the office? Why are we sitting here?"

Liu Yingxia glanced at Jian Ai and then said, "Could she be Lin Hao's friend?"

"It's normal for him to have friends!" Jane said nonchalantly. "We're divorced!"

"This can't be for our brother Kuan, can it?" Liu Yingxia said uncertainly.

Seeing Liu Yingxia's nervous look, Jian Ai said with a smile, "Why don't you ask her? It just so happens that your brother Kuan is here too!"

"How am I supposed to ask?" Liu Yingxia said, somewhat annoyed.
"As far as I can remember, my brother Kuan doesn't know any other women, except for me!"

"No, what are you doing? Why are you eating cake during work hours?" Liu Yingxia said, a hint of jealousy in her voice, as she watched Jia Kuan munching on his cake.

"How could you eat something given to you by a young, unfamiliar woman!"

Jane was speechless upon hearing this. It was obvious at a glance that this young girl was not familiar with Lin Hao and Jia Kuan, yet Liu Yingxia was still jealous. She was quite jealous.

After getting rid of Lin Hao and Jia Kuan, Hui Zi quickly stood up before they could react and said:

"Then I'll leave it to you two brothers-in-law. I won't disturb your work any longer, I'll be going now!"

"No, no, no!"

"Young lady, I haven't decided what to say yet!"

"No need to see me off, no need to see me off!"

"We really can't say for sure about this!"

“Brother-in-law, I believe you can definitely persuade them. I'll bow to you!” Hui Zi said, bowing to Lin Hao and Jia Kuan, and then continued:

"I'll be going now, you don't need to see me off!"

"Oh, you're standing up, and you're still wearing a short skirt," Liu Yingxia said, looking closely at Huizi.

"What are you doing? What's going on here?" Liu Yingxia said jealously, "He's even bowing."

"Is it a dessert shop that delivers food?" Jane asked uncertainly.

"What kind of dessert shop is this? Why are they dressed like this to deliver food?" someone exclaimed, looking at Hui Zi's smooth, long legs beneath her short skirt.

"Maybe it's just their marketing strategy!" Jane shook her head and said.

"Marketing strategy?" Liu Yingxia looked at Jian Ai with disbelief and said, "What marketing strategy? Why would you dress her like that!"

"Why are you getting so worked up about it? It's not like I'm the one wearing a short skirt!" Jian Ai said speechlessly, looking at the agitated Liu Yingxia.

"You wear one too!" Liu Yingxia said uneasily, "Why is it that every woman who's even remotely associated with Lin Hao wears a short skirt?!"

On the other side, Lin Hao watched Hui Zi leave and said with a smile, "Well, I think Zhou Yiming is going to be trapped!"

"Impossible!" Jia Kuan said in disbelief, "That beast Zhou Yiming, could he really be ensnared by someone?"

"Why not!" Lin Hao knew that Zhou Yiming would ultimately fall into Huizi's hands, so he said confidently, "Look at this enthusiasm!"

"Let me tell you, we really need to have a serious talk with Zhou Yiming!"

"That's true!" Jia Kuan nodded in agreement, remembering how clingy his child was. "Aren't you going to eat this cake?" Jia Kuan then looked at Lin Hao and asked, "If you're not going to eat it, I'll pack some for my wife!"

As she spoke, she packed the cake away, exclaiming, "I must say, it's actually quite delicious!"

Lin Hao said somewhat speechlessly, "Have you heard the story of Lu Ji carrying oranges?"

"What do you mean? Is that another insult?" Upon hearing this, Jia Kuan, though unaware of Lin Hao's meaning, instinctively felt, based on his years of experience, that Lin Hao was up to no good.

"No, no!" Lin Hao said with a smile, "I was just saying you're filial! Truly filial!"

When Lu Ji was six years old, he accompanied his father Lu Kang to Jiujiang to visit Yuan Shu. Yuan Shu served oranges to his guests, and Lu Ji secretly kept three oranges in his bosom. When he took his leave, the oranges fell to the ground.

Yuan Shu asked with a smile, "Young Master Lu, are you carrying oranges while being a guest?" Lu Ji knelt down and replied, "I wish to return them to my mother." Yuan Shu was amazed by his filial piety, and this became a well-known story.

······
The following day, Lin Hao and Jia Kuan arranged to meet Zhou Yiming, and the three of them went to the entrance of an internet cafe.

"What's going on?" Zhou Yiming asked, looking puzzled, after getting out of the car and looking at the internet cafe.

"That's the situation!" Lin Hao pointed to the internet cafe.

"I still think calling it 'internet cafe' sounds better!" Jia Kuan said with a sigh.

"I think so too!" Lin Hao said to the two of them with a smile.
"Three yuan an hour, twenty yuan for the whole night, and you have to get a bowl of noodles with it!"

Zhou Yiming also remarked with emotion, "There was a time when my biggest dream was to open an internet cafe, so I could play whenever I wanted!"

"And now?" Jia Kuan asked with a smile.

"It's getting further and further away now!" Zhou Yiming said, but something felt off, so he asked uncertainly:
"Wait, what's with you two going to work and then coming out to play games?"

"Don't talk nonsense!" Jia Kuan said matter-of-factly, "I'm representing the administration department, bringing General Manager Lin out to meet clients. This is work!"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yiming said speechlessly, "President Lin, Director Lin, it's one thing for Jia Kuan to give up on himself, but how can you, as the Director of VG's Operations Department, follow him and do such an unreliable thing!"

Lin Hao ignored Zhou Yiming's question and instead asked, "Tell me, have the membership cards we got back then expired?"

"Be confident, of course it's expired, it's been like this for years!" Zhou Yiming said speechlessly.

"Stop talking nonsense!" They were both about to be laid off, so they didn't care at all. Jia Kuan pulled the two of them towards the internet cafe, saying as they walked:
"Same old rules, whoever loses pays the bill, plus a meal and a bath—it's all included!"

"Who is afraid of whom?"

"Go!"

The three of them then played games together, ate together, and finally went to a bathhouse and sauna, where they were all sweating profusely.

Wiping the sweat from his brow, Zhou Yiming finally asked:
"What's wrong with you two today? I feel a rash coming on!"

"Internet cafes and hot spring saunas, what's wrong with those two kids? Is something up to them?" Zhou Yiming asked uncertainly.

"What's up? Can't we just get together?" After saying that, Jia Kuan smiled and asked Lin Hao, "When was the last time we came to a place like this?"

"The last time I came here, wasn't it the time before?" Lin Hao calmly launched into a rambling statement.

"Absolutely!" Jia Kuan nodded, agreeing wholeheartedly. "The last time I came to this place was really the last time!"

"So, in this life, if you want to do something, you have to be bold and do it; you can't wait!" Lin Hao said meaningfully.

"You wait for the future, for later, for next time, for when you have time, for when you have money, and you keep waiting and waiting, but in the end you only get regret!"

After saying that, Lin Hao gave Jia Kuan a wink, and Jia Kuan replied, "Of course!"

"We always think there's plenty of time, but we forget that life is unpredictable!"

"Jia Kuan, are you out of your mind?!" Zhou Yiming was baffled, so he said, "What's wrong with the water today? It's making you two write poetry here?"

Upon hearing this, Jia Kuan continued, following the lead of the conversation:

"I'd almost forgotten about this water if you hadn't mentioned it. Back when this kid was in school, he always maxed out his water card first!"

"Then he came to use both of our water cards. It's one thing if he used yours, but he also came to use mine. Don't you think he has any shame?!"

At this moment, Lin Hao brought up an embarrassing incident from back then, and jokingly said:

"Hey, now that you mention it, I realize that Mr. Zhou is really shrewd. He spends his money wisely!"

"Just think about it, I bought facial cleanser, shampoo, conditioner, shower gel, sunscreen, perfume, everything imaginable, except for water!"

Jia Kuan then quipped:
"You know, that's really true. Look at Mr. Zhou, his skin is so well-maintained!"

"White and tender, from building up big muscles, share how you trained!" Jia Kuan said, touching it with his hand.

"Get out of here!" Zhou Yiming shook off Jia Kuan's hand.

"Why would you need to share this? It's all about self-discipline!" Lin Hao immediately began praising:

"Look, he's rich, has time, doesn't smoke, doesn't drink, has no bad habits, doesn't have a girlfriend, and has a regular schedule!"

“Yes, yes, yes!” Jia Kuan echoed Lin Hao.

"Wait a minute!" After praising him, Lin Hao finally revealed his true intentions: "I recently got a little girlfriend!"

"They haven't been divided yet?" Jia Kuan asked in surprise.

“It’s fine!” Zhou Yiming said irritably.

At this point, he began to understand. After all these years of brotherhood, the two of them were speaking in such ambiguous and strange language that he realized they must have something on their mind, and it was related to him.

The temperature in the sauna was rising, and the three of them were sweating profusely. Zhou Yiming wiped his sweat and couldn't help but ask:

"Alright, what's going on between you two?"

"You really want to know?" Lin Hao asked earnestly.

"A new Japanese restaurant just opened downstairs from the company, it's really good!" Jia Kuan immediately chimed in upon hearing this.

"Japanese food is bad; it easily gives you diarrhea!"

"There's also a nice Western-style buffet nearby!"

"Western food!"

"Who cares what kind of meal it is!" Jia Kuan said happily, "It's Boss Zhou's treat anyway!"

Zhou Yiming admitted defeat and gave in with a helpless expression, saying, "Alright, you two just need to tell me what it is, and I'll treat you!"

"Kuan'er!" Lin Hao gestured to Jia Kuan, "Speak!"

"Today!" Jia Kuan said in a deep voice, "your little girlfriend went to see us!"

Before Jia Kuan could finish speaking, Zhou Yiming angrily retorted, "Jia Kuan, are you crazy? How crazy would she have to be to come looking for you?!"

"She's pretty fierce!" Jia Kuan said speechlessly, "Don't believe me? Ask Lin Hao!"

Seeing the serious expressions on Lin Hao and Jia Kuan's faces, Zhou Yiming knew that Huizi had probably really gone to find them.
