Chapter 29: No Need to Take Responsibility

Yu Jinwan stared blankly at He Congshan, as if he hadn’t heard clearly. He slightly opened his mouth and asked softly, “Wha…… What?”

He Congshan looked at him, feeling that the more he looked, the more attractive he seemed. Even his light breathing felt like an itch on his heart. He leaned in a bit and said slowly, “Teacher Yu, go out with me.”

Yu Jinwan’s pupils shrank and trembled. After a while, he turned his eyes away and said, “Don’t joke around.”

“I’m not joking,” He Congshan frowned, “I’m serious, I’m not lying to you.”

Yu Jinwan’s voice was very low. He shrank into the sofa and lowered his eyes, asking, “Why…… Why me, to go out?”

He Congshan scratched his head, and for once, he looked a bit embarrassed as he said, “That night, I was drunk and acted that way towards you…… I’ll take responsibility, just go out with me!”

Yu Jinwan was quiet for a moment, then said, “No need.”

He got off the sofa, “I’m going home first.”

He Congshan grabbed him, “No, wait, what do you mean no need?”

Yu Jinwan didn’t look at him, just said slowly, “No need to take responsibility. We’re both adults…… it’s nothing.”

He Congshan’s face darkened immediately.

“No way,” he said gravely, “I don’t care, I have to take responsibility.”

Yu Jinwan didn’t respond, tugging at his wrist, “I’m going home, I have class tomorrow.”

“Don’t lie,” He Congshan saw through him, “I checked, you don’t have class tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow is the weekend.”

Yu Jinwan didn’t expect him to check his schedule. He felt a bit embarrassed and said, “Anyway, I’m going home……”

He Congshan suddenly raised his hand and took off his glasses.

Yu Jinwan was stunned, not understanding what he was doing, “Give them back.”

He Congshan, like a lecher, chuckled, “You look even better without glasses.”

Yu Jinwan: “……”

Lin Miao, with his school bag on his back, came out of “Muse” and saw Huo Yuchuan standing quietly at the entrance, one hand in his pocket. He turned his body from the dim light of the street lamp and looked at him.

Lin Miao was a bit dazed for a moment.

The first night he came to work here, Huo Yuchuan was also waiting for him here, and he turned around to look at him just like this.

It seemed like nothing had changed, yet everything was different.

He walked over and asked sullenly, “Why haven’t you left yet?”

Huo Yuchuan said, “Waiting for you.”

Lin Miao: “I don’t need you to wait.”

“But I checked the guide,” Huo Yuchuan said indifferently, “It says to see the person you like home.”

The word “like” burned in Lin Miao’s heart, and he stammered, “Wh-what kind of nonsense guide?”

Huo Yuchuan said, “A dating guide.”

Lin Miao was stunned and even more tongue-tied, “Who, who said I’m dating you?! Don’t read that kind of stuff!”

“Oh,” Huo Yuchuan slightly lowered his head and looked at him, “Then how should I pursue you?”

He leaned close to Lin Miao’s ear and lowered his voice, “Teach me.”

Lin Miao’s ears were burning, and he pushed him away in a fluster, “I’m going back to school!”

He started to leave, and Huo Yuchuan said behind him, “The buses and subways have stopped.”

Lin Miao gritted his teeth, “Then I’ll take a taxi home!”

“It’s expensive,” Huo Yuchuan simply summarized, then pointed to the car parked by the roadside and Little Zheng waiting inside, “It’s free.”

Five minutes later, Lin Miao, with a sullen face, was sitting in the passenger seat again.

Huo Yuchuan sat in the back seat and, seeing that he wasn’t speaking, suddenly said, “Go home directly.”

“No way!” Lin Miao immediately said, “I’m going back to school!”

Huo Yuchuan: “Aunt Chen misses you.”

Little Zheng dared not speak, fearing that he would be the one who would miss her later.

Lin Miao tugged at his school bag strap, hesitated for a moment, and said, “I’ll go see her when you’re not home!”

Huo Yuchuan: “Then don’t let her cook for you.”

Lin Miao: “……” How mean of you!

The next day, Huo Yuchuan, dressed casually, indeed appeared in the classroom.

As soon as he arrived, Jiang Leming immediately gave up the seat next to Lin Miao and eagerly went to sit with He Yu.

Lin Miao was furious—Why did you run so fast?! Traitor!

Huo Yuchuan sat down next to him, and Lin Miao stretched out his hand, “Where’s my bank card?”

Huo Yuchuan took out two bank cards from his pocket and handed them to him.

Lin Miao quickly hid them in his school bag and patted it affectionately.

Huo Yuchuan, propping his face up with his hand, watched him and suddenly said, “You could just cancel and replace it, it would be the same.”

Lin Miao: “……”

He had completely forgotten about that and had let Huo Yuchuan see his phone for nothing!

He didn’t want to admit it, so he said, “Humph, I’m too lazy to go!”

Huo Yuchuan “Hmm”ed and still looked at him.

Lin Miao felt a bit uncomfortable, “Are you that idle? Don’t you have to manage your company?”

Huo Yuchuan nodded, “It’s going to go bankrupt.”

“Ah?” Lin Miao was shocked, “How could that be?!”

Huo Yuchuan: “Because you’re ignoring me.”

“……Let it go bankrupt,” Lin Miao humphed, “What does it have to do with me, it’s not my company.”

Huo Yuchuan: “It could be your company.”

Lin Miao: “No way.”

Huo Yuchuan: “Then your dad will be unemployed.”

“Then let him find another job,” Lin Miao said, “He has hands and feet, he could even collect trash quickly and efficiently.”

Huo Yuchuan: “What if I’m unemployed?”

Lin Miao was taken aback, “You also have hands and feet……”

Huo Yuchuan: “Should I go collect trash too?”

Lin Miao: “……No need for that.”

Huo Yuchuan: “So what should I do then?”

For some reason, Lin Miao’s mind echoed Huo Yuchuan’s words “be a husband,” and he suddenly became flustered, instinctively saying, “Anyway, you can’t be a husband!”

Huo Yuchuan was stunned for a moment. He lowered his hand that was propping up his face, leaned in closer, and said in a low voice, “Then be a wife?”
