Chapter 357: The soft‑waisted educated youth was flipped over twenty times by his boyfriend

This action is already somewhat ambiguous; if Mo Zhinan minds, he can break free at any time.

But after being embraced, he only paused briefly, then relaxed his body against him, inhaling the familiar sandalwood scent on Jin Chen, feeling an unprecedented sense of peace in his heart.

Even if he were still unaware of romantic matters, Mo Zhinan would know that his recent interactions with Jin Chen have already surpassed the bounds of friendship.

But he tacitly allowed Jin Chen to do that.

Just like when they first met, as if by some strange fate, he had tacitly permitted Jin Chen to enter the room.

Perhaps from the very beginning, when Mo Zhinan realized he felt no aversion to Jin Chen's scent at all, everything had already become somewhat different.

Mo Zhinan rubbed against him in his embrace and whispered, "I can help too; I also know foreign languages."

"Good, good, good, Nan is obviously the best, so from now on you'll be my exclusive translator, okay?"

"Mm!" he gave a small nod, a smile spreading at the corners of his mouth.

Just as the two stepped out of the room, the trio of brothers hurriedly asked Jin Chen how the business talks went.

"Next week come with me to Xiangshi; in these few days, pack up everything at home."

Jin Chen looked at the three younger brothers and asked again, "Anyone who doesn't want to go?"

Lv Erding and Xu Xiaoliu shook their heads; following Jin Chen in work is far better than doing odd jobs in town.

Only Liu Dazhuang hesitated, saying, "That… Jin Chen, my sister…"

"You can bring her along; once the factory is set up, you can even send your sister to school in the city."

"Eh! Good!"

" Liu Dazhuang nodded with red eyes, thumped his chest, and said, "Jin Chen, you can rest assured! From now on I'll definitely obey everything you say!"

That evening, Jin Chen simply put his bicycle in the trunk and drove back to the village.

Just as before, it attracted many onlookers; seeing that the person in the car was Jin Chen, they felt it was understandable.

After all, he's been quite famous in the village lately!

After the car stopped at home, many neighbors and villagers came to offer congratulations, and Gui Fang even planned to set off firecrackers to celebrate.

"A car! What an impressive four‑wheel vehicle!"

A mischievous little boy wanted to climb up and play, but when the elders saw, they hurriedly took him down.

This is a little automobile! They couldn't afford to compensate even if they sold their whole house!

As dinner time approached, the well‑wishers gradually left, and the Jin family courtyard returned to its usual quiet.

During dinner, Gui Fang could clearly sense that the two's relationship seemed to have grown a step closer.

Being able to see her son happy, she naturally felt delighted as well.

"Hey, Mom, Mo Zhinan and I are going to Xiangshi in a few days to start a factory with the boss."

Jin Chen explained the specifics to Gui Fang, then added, "Once the factory site is chosen and things stabilize, I'll come back to fetch you all to live there."

Gui Hua first showed hesitation, saying, "You two work hard out there; don't worry about us, staying in the village is fine."

Gui Fang also hesitated a bit, saying, "Yeah, Chenzi, starting a factory isn't easy; if you bring us over, don't let the boss look down on us for no reason."

"Mom, you don't need to worry; we're partners, and I'm one of the factory owners, so I still have some say."

"Besides, I earn money precisely to improve your lives; later I'll buy a house next to the factory for you, and there'll be more than enough for your retirement."

With Jin Chen's persuasion, Gui Fang and the others agreed.

"Then during this period, when you go to Xiangshi, don't overwork yourselves; even if you're busy by day, be sure to rest and eat well at night."

Gui Fang couldn't help but add a couple more sentences, "Especially little Mo, eat more meat; don't stay so thin."

Mo Zhinan lifted his head and gave a solemn nod.

"I will, Auntie."

Gui Hua had already heard from her sister this afternoon about their ambiguous relationship; hearing this, she teased, "It's fine, we've got Chenzi here—just based on his doting nature, he'll surely fatten little Mo up nice and plump."

Jin Chen didn't object either; instead, he nodded seriously, saying, "It's only right that Uncle understands me—how could I let someone follow me and not feed them well?"

Their back‑and‑forth made Gui Fang laugh so hard she could barely keep her mouth shut, while Mo Zhinan was already about to bury his face in his bowl, sensing that their words carried another layer of meaning.

The dinner was warm and pleasant, easing much of Mo Zhinan's nervousness; facing the gentle, loving Gui Fang, he could now manage a few sentences in reply.

——

At night, Mo Zhinan was arranged to sleep in Jin Chen's room.

Gui Fang and her siblings all understood without words, saying the house couldn't be cleared for a new room right away; besides, the two get along well, so sleeping together lets them chat more.

Night fell, the two lamps in the Jin household went out one after another, leaving only the lamp in Jin Chen's room still lit.

"Why bundle yourself up so tight? Although it's autumn and the weather's turned cool, it's not yet time for a real chill."

Jin Chen brought another cup of milk to Mo Zhenan's room and saw the youth on the bed wearing long autumn underwear and top, curled up under the blankets, looking at him.

"…Cold." Mo Zhinan thought he couldn't just say he was afraid Jin Chen would misbehave at night, getting handsy.

But Jin Chen, as if seeing through his thoughts, walked to the bedside, handed him the cup, and sat down beside him.

"The blanket's pretty thick; are you sure you want to sleep in that outfit? If you wake up hot, don't blame me."

Mo Zhinan blinked, as if thinking; the lamp light filtered through his lashes onto his face, leaving a fan‑shaped shadow, obedient and delicate.

"Or… are you guarding against something, Nan?" Jin Chen suddenly bent forward, his brows and eyes full of smiles.

"I…"

Mo Zhinan lifted his head to retort, but who would have thought that at this distance their lips brushed past each other, leaving him stunned.

The room fell into a brief silence.

Jin Chen's Adam's apple rolled once; his deep peach‑blossom eyes fixed on the person before him, undercurrents surging—such a gaze made Mo Zhinan feel his heart race severalfold, and a throbbing current shot through his whole body.

Now the atmosphere is different from any of their previous interactions.

Jin Chen suddenly reached out, pulling him into his embrace; his warm hand gripped the soft waist, causing Mo Zhinan's breath to hitch for a moment as he involuntarily leaned back.

The two stared at each other, the atmosphere growing increasingly ambiguous.

In the night's lighting, Mo Zhinan could faintly see that Jin Chen's eyes seemed to hold infinite desire, deep and bottomless, as if they would swallow him.

He whispered, "Jin Chen..."

Jin Chen's voice low, he hummed, lowered his head to press close to his lover's already slightly flushed cheek, his lips lightly brushing again.

"Zhinan, I want to kiss you."

This is an extremely bold remark, yet somewhat reserved.

They both know that if Mo Zhinan agrees to this, their relationship will change from then on.

As Mo Zhinan heard these words, all he saw in Jin Chen's eyes was indulgence and deep affection.

A deep affection that seemed as if it would never change.

His lips curled slightly, he stretched out his arms, and wrapped them around Jin Chen's neck.
