Daddy Always Gets Jealous

Shen You stretched lazily, removed his eye mask, and cast a lazy glance at Yu Zimu. He then turned to his side and took out his earplugs, ”What did you just say?”

”...”

Yu Zimu stared at Shen You for a long time, really wanting to curse.

Shen You sat up, picked up the box beside him, opened it, and threw a pair of earplugs to Yu Zimu, ”That’s why you always get scolded by Brother Huo and Brother Nan.”

Yu Zimu caught them, ”As if you’ve never been scolded yourself.”

Hearing some commotion beside him, Shen You quickly put on his earplugs with nimble movements, ”No wonder Brother Huo had us two stay in this tent; he knew his own son can’t stand the noise.”

”If I get scolded tomorrow, you’ll surely be a part of it.”

Yu Zimu couldn’t help but laugh as he put on the earplugs and spoke out loud.

”Screw you, give me back my earplugs.”

”Roll over to the side.”

...

If noises from this side could be heard on the other side, naturally, those on the other side could hear as well.

Che Huan, listening to Shen You and Yu Zimu’s conversation, blushed as she glanced at Huo Jinnan, ”It’s all your fault! How am I supposed to face people tomorrow?”

”Don’t think of those two as people.”

”...”

Yu Zimu hadn’t finished putting in his earplugs when he heard this sentence. He wanted to cough up blood. Brother Huo, you flirt all you want, but is this how you treat your own brothers?

”Shen You, Brother Huo said we’re not people.”

”...”

Shen You could somewhat hear what was being said, ”Just consider yourself a person; isn’t that enough?”

”What the hell do you mean by that? Are you saying I’m not a person?”

...

Che Huan, listening to the conversation beside her, was particularly speechless. Suddenly she broke into a smile, wrapped her arms around Huo Jinnan’s neck, ”Do you think those two are... you know? Why does it sound so full of bromance?”

”...”

Yu Zimu felt like he was about to have a heart attack. He quickly distanced himself from Shen You. That last sentence had hurt him 10,000+ times; he couldn’t take any less! He was a genuine, authentic man through and through.

Shen You also shifted to the side.

Hearing that the other side had quieted down, Che Huan opened the medical box inside the tent, which indeed contained medications and cotton swabs for treating wounds.

She used iodine and alcohol to disinfect Huo Jinnan’s wound, then applied a clean bandage.

Che Huan cut several pieces of medical tape and stuck them on the back of her hand. She then secured the bandage with strip after strip, looking at Huo Jinnan, ”Be more careful tomorrow when we go out, don’t get hurt again.”

”Getting hurt, with this kind of treatment, isn’t so bad.”

Huo Jinnan wrapped his arms around Che Huan.

Che Huan leaned into Huo Jinnan’s embrace, resting on his arm, and closed her eyes, asking softly, ”Huo Jinnan, do you love me?”

The moment she asked, her heart jumped to her throat.

Time passed without a reply, and her heart gradually sank.

Huo Jinnan stared at Che Huan for a while, ”Do I need to tell you again?”

”...”

What replied her was a pressure heavier than before.

Gasping for breath, Che Huan spoke out, ”Huo Xiao’er, that’s enough!”

”Say that one more time?”

”...”

Suddenly Che Huan went silent, not daring to call out a second time—

The next morning, Huo Bei, as usual, waited outside the tent for Huo Jinnan. This time, not seeing Shen You and Yu Zimu, he felt that his monotonous life lacked something. He walked over, lifted the tent flap, and saw Shen You and Yu Zimu each sleeping at one end of the tent.
