Chapter 466: Plan to Win Back Boyfriend Using Green Tea 11

No, my wife isn't acting right.

Jin Chen thought as he went upstairs.

How come after an afternoon, his attitude has withdrawn again?

【Host, it seems that this afternoon, Pig's Trotter told Little Pitiful One that you are currently in puberty, there is a possibility of transferring your hormones onto him, and you need proper guidance.】

【……】

Jin Chen stumbled.

You're playing this trick, huh?

No wonder his wife turned a blind eye to his earlier gaze.

In his peripheral vision, he saw Guangshu just coming downstairs; Jin Chen's expression instantly changed, looking on the verge of tears.

"How's my Young Master? You look quite unhappy."

Guangshu indeed noticed Jin Chen's expression, hurried over a few steps to ask.

"Nothing…… Guangshu, Gu Yuanheng should also stay at Zhuang Yuan today; have someone clean his room properly from now on."

He paused, his mouth twisting into an even more aggrieved expression.

"Perhaps he will stay here long-term."

"Oh, I see."

Guangshu wore a worried frown: "How can this Young Master be acting like he's bewitched by Gu Yuanheng? No good, I still need to think of a solution."

"It's fine, Guangshu; Gu Yuanheng said he'll definitely treat his older brother well, and today he even taught me the rules at the group."

Jin Chen continued applying eye drops, "Maybe we're overthinking it."

After saying that, he didn't care what Guangshu thought next, found an excuse to avoid dinner, saying he had no appetite and wanted to sleep well.

Guangshu was both angry and anxious.

"You haven't even entered the He family's door, yet you're already putting on airs as the elder brother; who knows, you might end up bullying the Young Master into something terrible!"

He walked and muttered, recalling Jin Chen's earlier expression of not wanting dinner, and thus grew even more averse to Gu Yuanheng.

"You wretched thing, thinking that clinging to the Young Master brings endless wealth and honor!"

Just as he said that, going downstairs he saw Gu Yuanheng sitting on the main hall sofa.

Guangshu spat silently, left the main residence via another corridor, crossed the garden, and headed to the servants' standalone cottage.

He needs to study well how those domineering CEO novels deal with the protagonist's rotten peach blossoms!

——

At dinner time, Jin Chen indeed did not go downstairs.

Facing He Yuchuan's question, Guangshu merely let out a deep sigh.

"The Young Master doesn't know why either; he suddenly said he felt unwell and needed to sleep."

"Maybe… something sad happened suddenly, or perhaps there's someone he doesn't want to see; in short, he feels awful."

He almost blurted out that Gu Yuanheng was the instigator.

He Yuchuan caught the implied meaning, instinctively frowned, and was a bit worried about Jin Chen's health.

But Gu Yuanheng just smiled and said, "Xiao Chen is twenty; if he really feels unwell, he'd definitely see a doctor; maybe he's just tired."

He used the public chopsticks to pick a dish for He Yuchuan, implying something.

"Kids this age having fickle tempers is normal; my cousin around Xiao Chen's age is the same."

"One moment he says he likes this person and wants to be together forever; the next he says he wants freedom and no marriage; no one can fathom his thoughts."

He Yuchuan lowered his eyes in thought, concealed the turmoil in his gaze, and finally said only: "Guangshu, keep the food warm in the kitchen; let him eat when he wakes up."

"Eh… okay."

Guangshu replied helplessly, his impression of Gu Yuanheng worsening in his heart.

At that moment, in the upstairs room.

Jin Chen watched the scene on the spatial screen, his face showing no expression.

0731 hurried to console.

【It's all Pig's Trotter's fault for being so good at sowing discord! Today Little Pitiful One's Heartbeat Value has been triggered; surely he has you in his heart!】

【I know.】

Jin Chen was merely thinking, perhaps we should change our approach.

He pondered, then simply dove into the blankets to sleep, and the medicine he'd prepared to play the victim was put away.

The whole night, He Yuchuan never saw Jin Chen.

He promised to make up a date with Gu Yuanheng, so they agreed to go to the screening room in Zhuang Yuan, playing the genre he usually likes.

But he couldn't muster interest, often zoning out, and merely went through the motions when facing Gu Yuanheng's smiles and actions.

He knows what he's worried about, yet precisely because of that he feels strange.

Innate emotional deficiency destined him to be cold and aloof, yet in just a few short days he has repeatedly broken his own rules for Jin Chen.

Jin Chen could be a puberty hormone transfer, but he cannot.

This is too absurd.

Until before bedtime, He Yuchuan passed by Jin Chen's tightly closed door and again spaced out.

However, 15 Heartbeat Points are still too few, insufficient to make He Yuchuan change his mind and his action of wanting Jin Chen to guide him back.

Jin Chen also deeply knows this.

——

The next day, the sky was barely bright, and everyone in Zhuang Yuan heard the wind lashing, accompanied by thunder and lightning.

The occurrence of such extreme rainstorm was just a matter of a few minutes; the summer night's silence was completely shattered.

At the same time, everyone in the city received a text message; to avoid losses caused by the extreme weather, all residents were told to stay home today and await further notice, avoiding going out as much as possible.

Fortunately, the notice said the duration would be short, similar to a typhoon contingency level, so it didn't cause major panic.

He Yuchuan also promptly sent out the work-from-home arrangement; except for essential positions, other staff could take leave first, and he had the Zhuang Yuan security check the underground lab as soon as possible, though he wasn't overly worried.

When the lab was built, all factors had already been considered; this kind of weather alone isn't enough to affect it.

Gu Yuanheng also naturally took up temporary residence at Zhuang Yuan.

During breakfast, Jin Chen finally came downstairs.

Because the temperature dropped sharply, he put on a one‑piece cow‑print fleece lounge pajama; his cheeks under the hat were a little pale, but overall he looked fine.

After scanning the room, He Yuchuan lowered his gaze and asked him.

"Are you feeling better?"

"Thanks for your concern, brother; I'm much better now—probably just a bit of culture shock from returning home."

Jin Chen sat down holding the tablet, answered the question obediently, and also greeted Gu Yuanheng.

"Good morning, Gu brother."

"Morning." Gu Yuanheng also put on a fake smile, intending to let Jin Chen know, saying: "The extreme weather came too suddenly; I might have to stay here for the next few days—Xiao Chen, you don't mind, do you?"

"Of course I don't mind; Zhuang Yuan belongs to the brother, I'm an outsider, and you're the brother's boyfriend—staying here is only natural."

Jin Chen replied politely but formally, lowering his head to open the tablet, glance at the message, and bite into his bread, seeming utterly unbothered.

This attitude surprised both He Yuchuan and Gu Yuanheng.

For some reason, He Yuchuan suddenly felt a strange sourness in his heart.

His voice still a bit cold, he said, "This is your home."

This was a rebuttal to what he had just said.

Jin Chen hummed, lifted his brows as if puzzled, then after a moment nodded and said, "Okay, I got it, brother."

The moment they locked eyes, He Yuchuan felt his heart tighten.

Jin Chen wasn't wearing that necklace today.
