Chapter 1089: The Gentle Neighbor

When facing Zhongyu Yu, Xue Yuanjing always had an inexplicable sense of superiority, perhaps because he felt that this person before him lacked confidence and was a Pervert.

This sense of superiority made him forever look down on Zhongyu Yu, yet he coveted that beauty.

The assistant scolded him, "Nonsense! Just because you're a scumbag, you think the whole world is like that."

Xue Yuanjing pushed the assistant away, laughing wickedly and mockingly, "Zhongyu Yu, do your family know you're this shameless? Ah… right, your family are also Perverts."

All of Zhongyu Yu's past confessions have become weapons for Xue Yuanjin to scold him with at this moment.

"Growing up in such a deformed environment, you really…"

Smack!

Zhongyu Yu slapped him again; a chill in his eyes and brows made one's heart shudder.

"As for being a Pervert, no one can compare to you; take your dirty stuff and get out."

Xue Yuanjing tilted his head, Silence for a few seconds; the anger that had built up these past days surged forth now—he didn't dare vent it on Xu You, could it be that he's actually afraid of Zhongyu Yu?

He grit his back teeth, squeezing out a low, fierce voice: "Zhongyu Yu, haven't I given you face?"

"I've been talking with you for a month, and not even a hug!!"

"You've only known Jin Chen for a few days, yet you're shamelessly offering to sleep with him."

"You, neither male nor female…"

"Xue Yuanjing, are you itching for trouble again?"

The sound of Jin Chen's voice approaching from outside the guest room made Xue Yuanjing halt his speech, fear coloring his eyes.

The assistant who had ushered Jin Chen in followed behind, patting his chest and sighing, "Phew, phew, the reinforcements arrived just in time."

Jin Chen walked in, naturally standing in front of Zhongyu Yu, wearing simple black loungewear, his aura still icy as he lowered his gaze to scan Xue Yuanjing.

Now, Xue Yuanjing feels pain all over just at the sight of Jin Chen.

He was momentarily speechless, unable to speak, appearing timid and shrinking.

Jin Chen's tone carried mockery.

"But you came at just the right time—Young Master Xu messaged that he will no longer pay for all your expenses at the club."

"The manager said you spent 150,000 last night, not yet including the room fee—please settle the bill."

Xue Yuanjing's face turned awful: "I only drank one bottle of wine last night—is it made of gold?"

Jin Chen scoffed, "You're spending on the sixth floor; the liquor doesn't mind you being poor, yet you complain a bottle is too expensive."

Hearing that, Xue Yuanjing suddenly had a flash of insight, reacting with shock: "Last night's incident must have been your doing! Otherwise, how would Xu You know about it this early?"

Jin Chen: "Last night's affair."

He raised an eyebrow, his gaze contemptuous: "Are you referring to how you spent money at the club last night and inexplicably slept with a staff member? Not calling the police is already good—can't you rein in your lower half?"

Zhongyu Yu temporarily set aside his doubts about who Xu You was, standing side by side with Jin Chen, glaring at Xue Yuanjing with full force.

"For five months of rent and utilities, you've never paid a cent, claiming you can't circulate funds… Turns out you've never told me the truth from the start."

It made him furious!

He used to be such an idiot, actually believing everything that scumbag said.

Zhongyu Yu puffed his cheeks; his stunning demeanor was somewhat diminished, yet his anger made him cute.

Xue Yuanjing: "……"

Such a scene was, for him, hardly different from being hit directly.

All his cards had been frozen by Xu You—where would he get the money to repay this 150,000?

"I'll pay it back; I have an urgent matter right now." He forced out the words, his face and heart burning with pain, utterly embarrassed.

Jin Chen, what are you going to do? He pulled at the corner of his mouth, leading Zhongyu Yu to step aside, making space to leave: "Please go ahead, but let me remind you of one thing."

He smiled, yet inexplicably inspired dread.

"No one dares to consume tyrannically at the Zero Degree Club."

Xue Yuanjing panicked, hurriedly fleeing; the slap mark on his face grew more obvious, paired with the night‑rumpled clothes, making him look like he was fleeing in defeat.

【Villain Blackening Value detected –5, total now 65!】

Zhongyu Yu closed his eyes, still feeling nauseous; even the hand that had just slapped him felt uncomfortable.

He hurried into the restroom, turned on the faucet, and rinsed.

Jin Chen followed him in, took a towel, stopped Zhongyu Yu from continuing to wash, and gently dried his hands: "All right, don't torture yourself."

Zhongyu Yu lowered his gaze, watching Jin Chen's hand overlap his own; the lingering discomfort finally faded.

"It's disgusting."

His tone was aggrieved and coquettish: "I hate him."

"I hate him too." Jin Chen agreed, gently pulling Zhongyu Yu into his embrace and smoothing his back: "But he doesn't matter."

"Don't be unhappy because of him."

"Mm… that also makes sense."

Listening to the mature, gentle voice beside his ear, Zhongyu Yu gradually calmed and whispered his question.

"Who is Xu You? Is he Xue Yuanjing's boyfriend?"

"Probably not anymore today."

Jin Chen released the embrace, placing his hands soothingly on Zhongyu Yu's shoulders: "I didn't tell you before because I was hiding it, thinking you two had already broken up and I didn't want you to have too much contact with him."

"I know." Zhongyu Yu curled the corner of his mouth: "Then tell me now."

Jin Chen: "Xu You is Xue Yuanjing's boyfriend; they broke up because he discovered Xu You had a mistress on the side."

Zhongyu Yu instinctively widened his eyes, pointing at his own nose: "Me?"

What a huge misunderstanding!

"No, it's someone else… his secretary."

Zhongyu Yu: "……"

He lightly blinked his eyes, moved close to Jin Chen's face and sniffed several times before suppressing the urge to vomit.

Quite the one who's got his feet in three boats.

It's fortunate he actually believed Xue Yuanjing would occasionally go on business trips.

"I want to do a major cleaning."

Zhongyu Yu said seriously, "Give the guest bedroom a thorough cleaning."

"Sure, I'll have a housekeeper come tomorrow."

Jin Chen ruffled his hair and smiled, "Pat your head, don't be angry."

Zhongyu Yu bit his lip, lifted his gaze to look at him, and whispered a plea.

"I want a hug, just like before."

The eyes wearing green contacts were clear as a lake, like a fox that only for him rolls over to show its belly, utterly obedient, coquettishly begging for a hug.

So cute.

Jin Chen's gaze lingered, eyes smiling as he held the person in a full embrace, his heart feeling heavy, as if filled.

Zhongyu Yu blushes easily; his fair skin makes it especially noticeable, his makeup unable to hide it, as he lightly leans on Jin Chen's shoulder with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

【Villain Heartthrob Value +10, total 45!】

The assistant dared not enter, knocking on the frosted glass door, "Yu Ge, should we still shoot?"

Those words woke him up.

Zhongyu Yu cleared his throat, embarrassed, "Continue shooting."

Jin Chen tilted his head, smiling as he looked at him, "Can I apply to watch from the side?"

"Of course."

Zhongyu Yu's tone was excited, his eyes clear.

The two walked out side by side, the makeup artist glanced blankly at the blush, wondering why she didn't remember giving Yu Ge blush earlier—isn't it that they haven't yet reached this step?
