So all the wives were waiting for me to break up with them.

"What's wrong?" Zhou You asked, slightly nervous, sensing something was amiss.

Ning Moxin remained calm and composed, her voice soft and gentle, "Although there is an order of arrival, Teacher Ning has helped you so much; even if she hasn't done anything special, she has certainly put in a lot of effort..."

"Sister Mo, you should just get straight to the point," Zhou You interrupted Ning Moxin, indicating that she could get to the heart of the matter.

"Okay, then I'll just get straight to the point."

Ning Moxin said directly, "Xiao You, if you're willing to treat Mingyue twice as well, can I also enjoy the same treatment as Mingyue?"

She was just joking and teasing her classmate Zhou; she didn't really mean to ask Zhou You to agree, because this matter was not simple.

Although she only wanted to be equal to Yun Mingyue, Yun Mingyue was able to demand twice as much as her.

To give a simple example, Zhou You bought her an apple. According to the agreement, he should buy two for Yun Mingyue. Now he has made another agreement with her that she can enjoy the same treatment as Yun Mingyue. In other words, theoretically, Zhou You should give him an extra apple.

There's no problem up to this point, but what if Mingyue jumps out at this moment and says, "We agreed that I would get double the reward"?

You could give Yun Mingyue four, but that wouldn't help, because the above process can be repeated indefinitely.

If they wanted, they could drain this young man dry in one night...

Either he travels around or he quits.

“Okay,” Zhou You agreed with surprising speed.

"Xiao You, are you serious? You should know that you absolutely cannot do this," Ning Moxin said bluntly.

Everyone has a limit to their abilities. In an infinite loop, even buying an apple can easily exceed that limit.

"Hmm...it seems so..."

Reminded by Ning Moxin, Zhou You realized his mistake and felt a little embarrassed. "I just agreed because your request sounded reasonable, thinking that even if there were difficulties, I could still help you complete it if I tried my best."

He paused, then said somewhat awkwardly, "I didn't expect it to be like this..."

"...So, think it over carefully before you agree." Ning Moxin paused briefly, then gently teased him.

Zhou can be really clumsy sometimes.

However, clumsy, focused, and earnest young boys are indeed very cute, especially when that person is someone you like; it makes you feel warm inside.

She was actually a little jealous when she heard that Zhou You would treat Yun Mingyue even better, but seeing Zhou You like this, how could she not be happy?

Zhou You, who was criticized by Ning Moxin, didn't think he had done anything wrong to the older women.

If you fall in love with a girl, most people will probably work hard to earn more money and improve their lives. This has little to do with whether she is a beautiful older sister or not. It's just that if she is beautiful, gentle and considerate, you might work even harder.

348. So much happiness

As Lu Xun once said, if a person is unable to help the person they love, it is best not to talk about love or not love casually. Of course, helping is not the same as love, but love cannot be without helping.

"I'll definitely pay attention next time, I'll definitely pay attention next time." Zhou You readily admitted his mistake, but remained unrepentant.

"Never mind, I was just joking with you anyway." Ning Moxin didn't want to continue talking to Zhou You about her joke.

She changed the subject, "Xiao You, you should be at the company right now, right? Aren't you busy with work? Why do you have time to call me?"

"I'm actually at Sister Hua's house right now," Zhou You replied, and before Ning Moxin could ask, he explained, "Dai Dai got sick today and called me, so I..."

His explanations and explanations helped Ning Moxin understand the general situation.

However, he didn't mention that Yun Mingyue had just deducted his salary and given him a red envelope.

"Dai Dai, are you alright now?" Ning Moxin asked with great concern.

Zhou You looked up towards Yun Daidai's room on the second floor and replied to Ning Moxin, "It's just a common high fever. She got a fever-reducing injection, so it should be fine."

"I think it's better to be careful," Ning Moxin said. "It's not uncommon for a fever to break and then spike again."

She paused for a moment, then had an idea. "Why don't we have a gathering at Mingyue's house tonight? There's been a recent resurgence of the epidemic in Hangzhou, so we can reduce the frequency of going out and keep an eye on Daidai at the same time."

"Besides, Dai Dai doesn't have many close friends. You and Ming Yue both went out to play, leaving her alone at home when she was just sick. It feels really pitiful."

“…Sister Mo, what you said makes sense.” Zhou You thought about it carefully and agreed that it was indeed true.

After the two had discussed the evening's gathering, Zhou You was about to say something else, or end his call with Ning Moxin, and go find Chen Tangtang.

"By the way, it's rare to have a gathering at Mingyue's house in the evening. Xiaoyou, do you think Mingyue would agree if I asked Tangtang to stay overnight?"

"Stay overnight?"

“Oh yeah.” Ning Moxin said playfully, “I’ll help you create some atmosphere, Xiao You. Maybe you can even have a one-man show with Mingyue and Tangtang. Doesn’t that sound amazing?”

"Pfft...cough cough, cough cough."

Upon hearing Ning Moxin's words, Zhou You coughed violently a few times. "Sister Mo, why are you planning something strange again?"

On the other end of the phone, Ning Moxin picked up the tea on the table, took a sip to moisten her throat, and spoke slowly and deliberately in an unusually gentle voice.

"As the saying goes, women who have shared a bed, a pillow, and bickered together are as close as siblings. After going through these things together, the relationship between women will improve."

“…I think Sister Hua will only be very angry.” Zhou You hesitated for a moment, disagreeing with Ning Moxin’s statement.

"Xiao You, you're not a woman, how would you understand a woman's thoughts?"

"..." Faced with Ning Moxin's question, "How can you know the joy of a fish if you are not a fish?", Zhou You remained silent.

He can't exactly say, "You're not me, how do you know I don't know what women think?"

He is not Zhuangzi, nor is Ningmo Xin Huizi.

"Xiao You, you won't lose anything by giving it a try. Even we might not be able to succeed."

As she had done many times before, Ning Moxin encouraged Zhou You, "Even if Mingyue is really angry, you can just work hard, and she'll definitely stop being angry."

"..."

She noticed that Zhou You was silent on the other end of the phone, blinked, and a mischievous smile appeared on her face that Zhou You couldn't see, like the serpent tempting Eve to eat the forbidden fruit.

"Teacher Ning, I'm not always willing to do this kind of thing for you, Zhou. This is a rare opportunity, don't miss it!"

…………

Ultimately, Zhou You did not give a clear answer.

As for whether he wanted to have sex with someone, he did have some thoughts about it, but he always felt that it was unreliable. After sleeping together once, Yun Mingyue and Chen Tangtang's relationship improved and they became like sisters.

Why does it feel so far-fetched?

He felt that it would be more realistic for Yun Mingyue to take advantage of him while he was asleep, or even while he was awake, to have someone tie him up and then cut him up with a pair of scissors, since he was such a pushover.

Therefore, even when Teacher Ning, whom he always considered very reliable, confidently proposed it, he still didn't dare to believe it at all. Since it concerned his happiness in the future, he wanted to play it safe.

Of course, he was thinking of playing it safe, but whether Ning Moxin thought the same way was another matter.

Let's leave those things aside for now.

After Zhou You finished talking with Ning Moxin, he first sent a message to Yun Mingyue to discuss holding the party at her house tonight.

After a moment's thought, Yun Mingyue agreed. It was a good thing, since it was Chen Tangtang's first gathering after she successfully reached base, and she felt she had to do something about it.

Playing at home gives her a better chance to perform well.

With Yun Mingyue's permission, Zhou You called Chen Tangtang again, and this time he got through successfully.

As a result, Chen Tangtang's first words almost stunned him.

"My little god~~ Husband~~ What do you want with your sweet wife~~" The voice was so sweet and cloying that it gave Zhou You goosebumps.

"Sister Bing..."

Zhou You was about to say something when Chen Tangtang interrupted him, her voice serious, "Call me Tangtang, my wife~~"

"This..." To be honest, Zhou You felt a chill run down his spine.

"Little male god, don't you want to call me that?" Chen Tangtang's voice sounded disappointed.

Zhou You took a breath and asked softly, "It's not that I'm unwilling, it's just... Sister Bing, why do you suddenly insist that I call you that?"

“We didn’t…” Chen Tangtang’s voice clearly carried a hint of shyness, “…do that thing yesterday.”

She paused, then pleaded sweetly, her voice brimming with affection, "So, please call me, please call me, I want to hear it~~ I want to hear it~~"

Seeing that Chen Tangtang was like this, Zhou You had no choice but to go along with her wishes and softly call out, "Tangtang, my wife."

"Hehehe~~"

A burst of suppressed, blushing laughter came from Chen Tangtang's side; you could tell from the sound that she was extremely happy.

Are you that happy?

"From now on, my relationship with you, my little male god, will be even closer, of course I'm happy!"

As she spoke, Zhou You heard the whooshing sound of wind coming from her phone and could picture her drawing a large circle with both hands.

"I'm so incredibly happy~~"

"I can't see it anyway," Zhou You couldn't help but complain.

"Huh?!" Chen Tangtang was taken aback for a moment. "Oh right~~ Hehehe~~"

"Pfft~~"

Zhou You could definitely feel Chen Tangtang's happiness.

P.S.: Still 24 chapters owed, a significant reduction from last month, congratulations!

349. 'Worried'

Zhou You and Chen Tangtang talked on the phone for a long time.

She would say things that were pointless but made him happy, and he would often find himself both amused and exasperated by her, then he would involuntarily smile and join in her silly joy.

The two chatted idly for most of the time.

It's like wasting your youth... Well, when it comes to couples, how can spending hours on the phone be considered a waste of time? That's called being affectionate.

"It seems you and Chen Tangtang had a great chat. No wonder I smelled a sour stench as soon as I walked in."

Zhou You and Chen Tangtang's phone conversation went on for quite a while, so long that Yun Mingyue had already gone home after work.

As soon as she entered the room, she started complaining about Zhou You, who was sitting on the sofa chatting with Chen Tangtang on his phone, which was plugged into a charging cable.

"Sister Hua, you're back."
