As expected, Ji Nanshu and Jian Yuanjia were both unable to get out of bed the next day.
When Chu Mo and Jin Shi met at the top of the stairs, they looked at the hickeys on each other's necks and coughed twice in tacit and awkward silence.
Jin Shi, carrying breakfast, said, "The battle is fierce."
Chu Mo glanced at Jin Shi with a hint of smugness and boasted, "Well, what can you do? My little darling is very clingy."
"Tch..." Jin Shi rolled his eyes. What's so smug about that! Bah!
After showing off, Chu Mo casually went into the kitchen to cook. Because he was in such a good mood, he cooked for the entire production crew.
When Director Yang saw it, his eyes lit up, and he led the way into the villa.
Eat! Eat that damn thing!
Huh? A live stream? People need to eat, so let's eat first!
As the saying goes, "He who eats another's food is bound to do his bidding," Director Yang very humanely postponed the live broadcast.
Upstairs, in Ji Nanshu and Chu Mo's room.
Ji Nanshu lay on the soft blankets, sunlight streaming in through the glass window, revealing his exposed skin covered in red and purple marks.
This demonstrates just how intense the battle was last night.
Chu Mo had lunch and sat down next to Ji Nanshu, calling out softly.
The person on the bed trembled slightly, slowly opened their eyes, and looked somewhat bewildered.
Who called him?
Upon seeing that it was Chu Mo, Ji Nanshu immediately reached out and hugged his waist, pressing her face against his lower back, and softly said, "I don't want to get up..."
"Eat before you sleep?"
"No... you sleep with me."
"Okay, I'll go with you."
Chu Mo took off his shoes and lay down on his side next to Ji Nanshu. Ji Nanshu, who was exhausted, immediately snuggled into Chu Mo's arms and buried his head in his chest.
The person under the blanket was completely naked, Chu Mo's hand was placed on Ji Nanshu's lower back, gently massaging it.
Ji Nanshu's breathing gradually became even.
With the end of the fourth season of the dating reality show, Ji Nanshu's twentieth birthday is just around the corner.
The Ji Family scheduled the banquet for the day before Ji Nanshu's birthday.
The Ji Family was busy preparing for the banquet, while Chu Mo was busy planning his marriage proposal.
He secretly approached Ji Xingchi and Jian Yuanxiu, who had just returned from a busy period in China, to help plan his marriage proposal.
Ji Xingchi sneered, "Help you?! I'm already being kind to you by not causing trouble for you!"
Bah! You want to be with An'an? How can you be worthy of An'an without suffering some hardship!
Jian Yuanxiu looked puzzled. "What do you mean? Why did you try to sabotage Mo's proposal? It's rare enough for an iron tree to bloom, you should have some decency!"
"Wait a minute. You don't actually like Mo's wife, do you? Is it a love triangle?"
To be honest, Jian Yuanxiu truly lives up to his reputation as Jian Yuanjia's brother; his thought process and his mouth are equally sharp and sarcastic.
Ji Xingchi rolled his eyes. "That's my fucking brother!! My own brother!!"
"Huh? Younger brother? Is it Yao or Xu?" Jian Yuanxiu could hardly believe that these two were a couple with Chu Mo. "It can't be Yu, can it...?!"
These two don't match at all!
Chu Mo's forehead veins throbbed, and he pressed down his hand, which was about to punch someone. "It's A-Chi's youngest brother, the one we just found recently."
"Hmm? This sounds familiar..." Jian Yuanxiu racked his brains, but still couldn't remember. There was nothing he could do; he couldn't return to the country when the Ji Family held their banquet!
"Wait, Yuanjia Jia has a friend with the same name...?"
Chu Mo: "Yes, it's him. I called you here to plan the proposal, not to listen to you discuss who he is!"
Jian Yuanxiu slammed his hand on the table. "Proposing is so easy! Just buy some flowers! Buy some candles! Arrange them in a heart shape, that's how they do it in idol dramas!"
"Get lost! My brother is so good, is this all he's worth? Can't you even give me any advice? If not, get out of here!" Ji Xingchi retorted mercilessly.
Jian Yuanxiu shrugged. "How could I not come up with ideas! At least I haven't been single all these years! What, what are you, a lifelong single, saying?"
Ji Xingchi spat, "You? You're only after my money. So what if I'm single! That's called being chaste!"
In the midst of the argument, Chu Mo's phone rang. As soon as he answered it, his aura instantly softened.
"Sweetie, you're awake? Hmm... I'm outside... Oh, your older brother was passing by the company, so we had lunch together..."
"Okay, there's some meat left over from today's cooking in the kitchen. Heat it up yourself. I'll be back in a bit, very soon... Okay, I'll bring you some barbecue. You can eat dinner first..."
Jian Yuanxiu, sitting opposite him, stared wide-eyed in horror as if he'd seen a ghost. "Holy crap?! Achi, what kind of superhuman is your brother? How could he tame this demon king so gently?! Hit me right now! Am I seeing a ghost?!"
Ji Xingchi said in a sinister tone, "My An'an is a Daoist priest. She's not good at anything else, but if you want to see ghosts, I can have An'an help you. What do you think?"
"No, no!" Jian Yuanxiu shook his head vigorously.
Are you kidding me?! Who would go looking for ghosts for no reason?! He's crazy!
Chu Mo jumped up. "I'm going to buy some food for my little darling."
Ha, those two useless people! They can't even plan a marriage proposal, what use are they!
Jian Yuanxiu stood up and said, "I'll go too!"
Chu Mo looked Jian Yuanxiu up and down several times. "That works too."
That sounds like a very difficult choice.
But that's not important; the main point is to be shameless!
When Chu Mo returned with Jian Yuanxiu and Ji Xingchi, Ji Nanshu had just finished eating and put the dishes in the dishwasher.
Seeing how happy Chu Mo was, hey, it was his barbecue!
Not long after the fourth season of the dating reality show ended, it was time for the final exams. Luckily, he had a good memory and with Chu Mo's tutoring, he managed not to fail.
Alas, he was no longer a teenager, and his learning ability was limited, so he suffered for quite some time.
I'm only just recovering now, after finishing the exam.
Indeed, not just anyone can be a student!
I'm truly impressed!
Just as she was about to greet her younger brother, she found that he had jumped right into Chu Mo's arms.
Ji Nanshu's eyes were only on Chu Mo... and the barbecue in his hand, completely unaware that there were two more living people beside him.
Ji Xingchi said resentfully, " An'an... does your older brother really have no presence in your eyes?"
With a piece of meat dangling from his mouth, Ji Nanshu, "Ah...? Big brother, you're here too..."
"Pfft—" Jian Yuanxiu couldn't help but laugh, "Hahahaha, Ah Chi, you've finally met your match!"
Ji Nanshu then noticed Jian Yuanxiu and asked Chu Mo, " A-Mo, is he your friend?"
"Yes, Yuanjia's older brother, Jian Yuanxiu."
"Hmm? They don't look alike," Ji Nanshu said.
Jian Yuanxiu extended his hand. "Hello, my name is Jian Yuanxiu, I look more like my dad."
Ji Nanshu hesitated for a moment, then reluctantly handed over a skewer of meat. "... Just this one!"
If it weren't for the fact that he was Yuanjia's older brother, he wouldn't have shared this skewer of meat!
Jian Yuanxiu: "..."
Mo! Is your wife's thought process really normal?
Hmm... I guess I'm still groggy from sleeping, since I slept all day.
