Huayu: Live a carefree life

Lu Jie put his arm around Liu Haocun and admired her pretty profile.

Once her breathing had stabilized and she was completely asleep, I gently carried her into the bedroom, placed her on the bed, and tucked her in.

Looking at her cute and peaceful sleeping face, Lu Jie affectionately leaned in and gave her a peck.

Just as she was about to get up and leave, her clothes were grabbed.

"Brother, don't go, stay with me~"

His voice had a slightly sticky, sleepy quality, but it was sincere and heartfelt.

Lu Jie hadn't expected that a kiss would wake the little girl up, and he smiled as he sat back down on the edge of the bed.

Smiling, she gently tucked her loose hair behind her ear. "Little Cun, you were Sleeping Beauty all along. One kiss woke you up."

"No, I don't want to be Sleeping Beauty, I'm Brother A-Jie's Little Saving~"

After saying that, Liu Haocun pulled Lu Jie close with both hands and kissed him again.

In the midst of their frantic entanglement, Lu Jie didn't even realize when Xiao Cun had taken the initiative.

As his breathing became more and more rapid, Liu Haocun braced himself against Lu Jie's chest and sat up.

Her bright, doe-like eyes narrowed slightly, the corners of her eyes turned up, and she stared intently at Lu Jie, gently stroking his jawline.

"Brother~ We haven't done anything serious yet~" The boy's voice was so sweet it made Lu Jie cry for help.

His Adam's apple bobbed uncontrollably, his gaze following her flirtatious movements to focus on the exquisite face so close to his.

Lu Jie could no longer bear it.

Using her waist and abdomen, she flipped over to regain control and grabbed Liu Haocun's snow-white hands.

He lowered his head, his nose lightly touching his own, their hot breaths mingling.

Lu Jie's tongue traced across his earlobe, then bit down on it, his voice low and rapid, "Since we're on serious business, what should you call me?"

Liu Haocun shyly bit his lower lip, then his soft, boyish voice rang out again, "Daddy~"

"Good boy~" Lu Jie grinned with satisfaction, and then it was time to get down to business.

More than an hour later, in the early hours of the next day.

Lu Jie focused on driving; even in Beijing, there were very few cars on the road at this time.

A little extra pressure on the accelerator is enough to make up for the time lost while doing important work.

He was focused on driving for another reason: he didn't dare look at the passenger seat because his girlfriend seemed really angry.

"Scumbag!" Liu Haocun finally broke the silence after walking halfway.

"Lu Jie, tell me honestly, besides me and Hu Lianxin, how many other women do you have?"

She was absolutely furious.

Family members, who understands? They were comfortably looking forward to the second round.

My boyfriend said he wouldn't be coming yet, he had to go to the airport to pick up a friend.

No, is meeting up with friends more important than making love with your girlfriend?

What?! Picking up a woman! A woman who came all the way from Shanghai to see him! Lu Jie, you bastard, I'm going to work at 8 AM!!!

"Tell me, how many women do you have? At least tell me who you're picking up!"

Lu Jie glanced at Liu Haocun, thinking that there was no way to escape now that things had come to this.

"Uh, I'm here to pick up Wang Churan."

Liu Haocun frowned, thinking for a long time but still couldn't remember who it was. "Never heard of them. Are they actors?"

"Yes, he's an actor. He's a year older than you and Hu Lianxin."

Liu Haocun sneered inwardly, "Ha, so she's just an old woman born in the 90s!"

"Hey, Xiaocun~ I already agreed to bring you along to pick me up, don't forget..."

Liu Haocun retorted sarcastically, "Eh~ Is that scumbag afraid I'll slap her and pull her hair?"

"Heh, don't worry, brother~ I'm a well-mannered Gen Z beauty, why would I stoop to the level of a 90s old woman?"

Lu Jie recalled Wang Churan's figure, then glanced at Liu Haocun, but ultimately didn't say what was on his mind.

However, calling Wang Churan, who was born in 99, an "old woman born in the 90s" is really something else.

Of the four women Lu Jie has been with so far, his feelings for Wang Churan are the least.

First, Wang Churan's starting point was the gift that Uncle Li gave her.

Secondly, he had just developed feelings for her when they broke up and he returned to the capital alone.

We agreed that our relationship would be that of lovers, so why am I worried when I heard that she came to the capital alone?

Lu Jie suddenly realized that he might not be suited to be a scumbag, because he couldn't afford to play that game.

"Xiao Cun, actually, Wang Churan and I don't have any emotional foundation." Lu Jie opened the glove box, took out a cigarette, lit it, and casually rolled down the car window.

"She's different from you and Xiao Hu. I liked you two first, then flirted with you, and then we got together."

Liu Haocun blinked his doe-like eyes curiously and asked, "You smoke? I've never smelled smoke when we kissed~"

"When I was starting my business, I used to stay up late a lot. How could I keep up all night without smoking? I smoke less now."

"Hmm, continue. How is she different from us?"

"Wang Churan is a new actress. When I went to Shanghai to discuss Daylight Entertainment's shares, Uncle Li asked her to be responsible for drinking with me and sleeping with me."

"Another Tang Yan was also there, but I didn't take her."

Upon hearing this, Liu Haocun's hostility lessened.

As someone in the industry who debuted as a "Zhang Yimou girl," she hasn't experienced these sordid situations.

But that doesn't mean she didn't know. Besides, every year at the Beijing Dance Academy, there are always a few girls who have met the wrong person and gotten into trouble.

Or perhaps they were simply too ambitious and willingly allowed themselves to be... you know.

"I admit I'm a scumbag, but I'm not a scumbag."

Lu Jie took two puffs and extinguished the cigarette in the car's ashtray.

Then, the story of Wang Churan's visit to Beijing was embellished with artistic flair.

"She texted me right before boarding the plane, saying she missed me so much that she bought the earliest ticket to come see me."

"I didn't bring an assistant, I didn't tell any friends, and if they were worried I wouldn't be in Beijing, they planned not to even send me a message, just to surprise me..."

"I... really couldn't refuse. I couldn't let a girl who was so eager to surprise me find a place to stay on her own."

"Sorry, I didn't expect I wouldn't even pass muster as a scumbag." Lu Jie felt he hadn't had enough of a cigarette and was about to light another one.

Liu Haocun snatched the cigarette pack and lighter from him, "Stop smoking! Your breath stinks!"

Lu Jie didn't say anything more and focused on driving.

After a while, Liu Haocun suddenly asked, "Why don't you want Tang Yan?"

"what?"

Liu Haocun tilted his head and blinked. "I asked you, why don't you want Tang Yan? Didn't I give her to you to play with? Why not play with her?"

"Ahem~ Little sister, I was born in '95 and Tang Yan in '83, you're a whole 12 years older than me!"

Lu Jie had a shocked expression on his face, as if to say, "Are you kidding me?"

Liu Haocun was amused by his expression, smiled again, and leaned on Lu Jie's shoulder.

"Okay, okay~ sigh~ who told me to fall for a jerk?"

She rested her chin on Lu Jie's hand, nodded, and stared at his profile for a while.

"Well, thankfully, he's a scumbag with a sense of loyalty and righteousness, and he's good-looking too. He's definitely not a scumbag."

"But let's make this clear first, even though she was born in '99 and is older than me, don't expect me to call her 'older sister'!"

As he spoke, Liu Haocun brandished his fist, looking very impressive.

"If she dares to mess with me, don't blame me for actually pulling her hair!"

Lu Jie's lips twitched slightly. "Um, Xiao Cun~"

"Um?"

"Is it possible that you can't beat her at all? By the way, Wang Churan is from Shandong Province, the same Shandong Province that produced the Hulk."
