Help! My hunky roommate is begging me to touch his abs!

The family finished watching the movie at 3:30 pm.

Zhao Yuheng immediately led everyone to the restaurant.

Seeing the opulent hotel, my aunt was dumbfounded: "This hotel must be quite expensive, right? I've hardly ever been to this street before."

Although she was from this county, my aunt had lived here for so many years and never knew there was such a luxurious street.

"There aren't many people around lately, so we have a discount," Zhao Yuheng said with a smile, gesturing for everyone to go inside.

Welcome!

Six waiters stood on either side of the entrance, bowing to the crowd, each with a warm smile on their face.

The aunt and uncle were both a little embarrassed, not knowing what to do with their hands and feet.

"It's alright, Aunt and Uncle, we can just go inside."

Zhao Yuheng noticed the awkwardness between the two, so he supported his uncle with one hand and gently pulled his aunt's arm in with the other, leading her inside.

He gently reassured her, "Just follow me, don't worry about anyone else."

The leader walks ahead, and those behind have no choice but to follow.

"I booked room 2203."

"Okay, Mr. Zhao, please come in." The waitress gestured for him to enter.

This is a private room.

The restaurant occupies a considerable area, spanning two floors, with a babbling spring at the entrance adding to its elegant ambiance.

The private room has a huge viewing window that opens to the outside, like a small pavilion.

The goldfish swimming in the small pond beside it swayed their tails, creating a scene of luxury and elegance that cannot be described in a single word.

"Jinbao, you are so lucky to have such a friend. We are truly blessed to be with you."

Auntie couldn't help but smack her lips, tiptoeing to look around, her eyes full of wonder.

Jin Bao'er had no interest in looking at the luxurious decorations; she was only interested in the curious looks on her aunt's family's faces.

Zhao Yuheng stood to the side, grinning foolishly at everyone, his eyes full of pride and satisfaction.

He solemnly added another debt to the account he owed Zhao Yuheng in his heart.

I'm afraid I can't pay it back in this lifetime. Maybe in the next life, I'll be his father and take care of him for the rest of my life.

Jin Bao'er herself found the idea funny and couldn't help but smile.

"What are you laughing at?"

Zhao Yuheng saw him secretly smiling and leaned over to ask a question.

"I'm laughing at you for being foolish and having too much money."

"No, it's only for you."

Zhao Yuheng stared at him intently, his expression as resolute as if he were taking an oath to join the Party, and his fingertips gently touched the hand that was resting on the edge of the table.

Jin Bao'er: "..."

Oh no, this straight man has evolved to the point of being one with nature.

He doesn't care whether you like him or not, whether you're gay or straight; he'll flirt with you as much as he wants to make himself happy.

Most importantly, he firmly believed that he would not be forced into sexual relations and that he could control everything.

Jin Bao'er's ears burned, and she quickly looked down and fiddled with the teacup in front of her, but her mind was inexplicably in turmoil.

The dishes were slowly served, and they looked a hundred times more luxurious than those served in the morning.

My aunt and uncle didn't say anything more, they just kept putting food into their mouths and didn't even have time to talk.

Watching the family devour their food, Jin Bao'er couldn't help but cover her eyes with her hand, pretending not to know these "foodies".

"Eat up, or I'll eat it all!"

Zhao Yuheng, quick as a flash, picked up a glistening roasted duck leg and put it into Jinbao'er's bowl.

Normally, he would have been eating like crazy.

Seeing that Zhao Yuheng's eyes showed no disgust but rather an expectation of "eat quickly," Jin Bao'er quickly picked up the duck leg and started gnawing on it.

To be honest, the food here was really good; every dish suited his taste.

Is this what life is like for the rich?

Is this what style is?

Hmm, I definitely want to be a rich person in my next life. But never mind, I'll focus on living this life well first.

Just as the group was enjoying their meal, there was a knock on the door, and several waiters came in: "Excuse me, we heard it's someone's birthday today. Would you like us to provide birthday karaoke services?"

Jin Bao'er thought to herself, "Isn't this the kind of thing you only see in big cities? How come it's happening in a small county town too?"

"OK."

Zhao Yuheng readily agreed, turned and went out, and returned a short while later carrying a huge cake.

Jin Bao'er was dumbfounded when she saw the cake, which was at least two feet wide.

This was the first time he had ever seen such a large cake. Apart from the banquet-level cakes on TV, this was the most impressive one he had ever seen.

Zhao Yuheng opened the cake box with a serious expression and carefully inserted the candles, exactly twenty in total.

He folded the birthday hat flat and gently placed it on Jinbao'er's head, then lit the candles one by one, the flames instantly illuminating his eyebrows and eyes.

"Turn off the lights, turn off the lights."

Zhao Yuheng said to Liu Yu, who was holding up her phone to record a video.

Liu Yu quickly ran over and turned off the lights.

"Happy birthday to you……"

"Happy birthday to you……"

Happy birthday, my darling...

Zhao Yuheng also sang along with the waiter; his voice wasn't particularly pleasant, but it was exceptionally clear.

Unlike the high-profile and passionate singing outside, the hostesses at this hotel were in a dark room with flickering candlelight.

Everyone's singing was gentle and lingering, filling the room with warmth.

Jin Bao'er stared blankly at the man who was smiling foolishly at her and earnestly singing the birthday song, her gaze unconsciously falling on his smiling eyes and brows.

You could even clearly see the slight trembling of his Adam's apple when he sang.

Even though I've already experienced so much kindness from him and been moved so many times, at this moment my nose still suddenly stung, and tears almost fell onto my hands.

No one ever cared about his birthday, nor did anyone care whether he was happy.

But if it exists today, it may exist in the future as well.

The aunt sitting opposite was also stunned at this moment.

Looking at Jin Bao'er in the candlelight, tears welled up in her eyes without her noticing.

He murmured to himself: "Brother, you can rest in peace now. Jin Bao'er has finally met someone who treats him well."

……

Finally, Jin Bao'er clasped her hands together, closed her eyes, silently recited for a few seconds, and blew out all the candles in one breath.

The lights came back on, and Zhao Yuheng sat down next to him, expertly cutting the cake for him while curiously asking, "What did you wish for?"

Jin Bao'er laughed and lied: "To be a rich person."

Zhao Yuheng and the others couldn't help but burst into laughter, filling the private room with cheerful chatter.

Jin Bao'er looked at Zhao Yuheng, who was smiling broadly with his eyes crinkling.

He had a smile on his lips, but there was a hint of barely perceptible bitterness hidden in his eyes.

His wish was that Zhao Yuheng would be happy forever, regardless of whether he brought that happiness to him.

Later, when Zhao Yuheng saw Jin Bao'er reach for her second piece of cake after finishing it, he quickly stopped her, saying, "If you can't finish it, don't eat it. Be careful not to get too greasy."

"It would be such a waste to lose it."

Jin Bao'er stared at the cake, looking reluctant to part with it.

"Take it home and put it in the fridge, it'll be ready to eat tomorrow."

"Is that okay?" Jin Bao'er's eyes lit up as she looked up and asked.

"sure."

Zhao Yuheng ruffled his buzz cut, his fingertips gently brushing against the top of his head.

The warm touch made Jinbao'er freeze for a moment before she quickly and skillfully rewrapped the cake.

The car then took the family back to the village entrance.

My aunt and uncle insisted on stopping the car at the village entrance, saying it was a short and easy route, but really they just wanted to show off to the villagers.

Sure enough, they ran into an acquaintance after taking only a few steps: "Liu Yu's mom, where are you coming back from?"

"Oh dear, isn't today Jinbao's birthday? His friends insisted on celebrating for him and invited us to the Huajiaowan Hotel!"

Her aunt's voice rose eight octaves, as if she wanted the whole village to hear, "That private room was incredibly grand! One meal there cost me more than half a year's expenses!"

The villagers who were passing by gathered around and praised her with envy, and the aunt became even more enthusiastic in her speech.

My uncle stood beside me, leaning on his cane, letting my aunt brag. He held a cigarette between his fingers, his chin held high, looking smug and arrogant, as if he looked down on everyone.

Jin Bao'er, Liu Yu, and Zhao Yuheng stood at the back, listening to their aunt boasting about it.

Even Zhao Yuheng couldn't help but blush, feeling a little embarrassed.

"Is that restaurant really that good?" Jin Bao'er asked Liu Yu in a low voice.

"Yes, I have!"

Liu Yu leaned closer and whispered, "My mom says that toilet smells so good. She keeps saying she wants to change the toilet at home to that kind of place so we won't have to smell the stench of the pigsty anymore."

Zhao Yuheng listened from the side, and began to make plans in his mind as well.

Jinbao's toilet is connected to the pigsty. He almost threw up when he went to the toilet last time. He has to hold his nose every day to go. Jinbao must have had enough of it by now.

When Zhao Yuheng arrived, there were still more than ten days left before the start of the semester. After all the busy birthday celebrations and running around, the time flew by.

Just as the two were preparing to pack their bags and return to school early, Jin Bao'er's family suddenly heard some shocking news.

"What? You're going to fix our toilet??" My uncle's voice suddenly rose, full of disbelief.

"Um."

Zhao Yuheng nodded, his tone natural, as if he had planned it all along. "Uncle, I was thinking of renovating the toilet at home. I'll install a squat toilet and a Western-style toilet. Since you have difficulty walking, it will make going to the toilet easier for you."

While everyone was still politely declining, saying it was too much trouble and not worth the effort, the construction team that Zhao Yuheng had contacted had already arrived.

Seeing that everyone had arrived, the aunt and uncle stopped talking and quickly went over to see how to design it properly.

Finally, the construction team managed to build a small toilet next to the pigsty, with pipes leading directly to the dry toilet, making it clean and convenient.

Just before the two left, the toilet was completed.

My aunt curiously reached out and pressed the toilet switch. A stream of clean water gushed down, leaving the entire toilet spotless and odorless.

"My goodness, I've lived most of my life and never smelled such a wonderful toilet!" Auntie exclaimed with amazement.

Jin Bao'er smiled helplessly beside her, but her heart was warmed.

He can never truly repay this debt in this lifetime; he'll have to wait for the next life, then it will be his turn to protect this person.

Finally, the aunt insisted on giving Jin Bao'er and Zhao Yuheng two large bags of pears that she had grown herself.

They insisted that they take it back and try it.

The two of them were flying back to school this time, and they could barely carry some things with them.

Jin Bao'er simply stuffed all her clothes into Zhao Yuheng's suitcase.

I packed the pears in my own box, but I don't know if they'll stay fresh when I bring them back to northern Beijing.

Zhao Yuheng carried a suitcase in each hand, but his gaze remained fixed on Jin Bao'er the entire time.

Seeing that his arm was aching from waving, she raised her chin at him from a distance, her eyes incredibly soft.

Wait patiently as Jin Bao'er and Liu Yu wave goodbye to their aunt.

Liu Yu had been clamoring to go back to school with them for a long time, and this time she also benefited from it, having the opportunity to ride a plane for the first time.

Where did the plane tickets come from? Zhao Yuheng bought them.

How much? Zhao Yuheng only said that it was a discounted ticket bought in advance, so cheap that it was practically free.

Jin Bao'er was already used to it and didn't ask any more questions.

He knew perfectly well that there were no airfares so cheap they were practically free; it was just that this person always secretly hoarded all the good things for him.
